Seeing that the reinforcements under the city were extremely brave among the Cao army, the morale of the army increased greatly at this moment on the city, under the encouragement of the governor of Xuzhou Tao Qian, the military was also greatly encouraged.

"Soldiers, after persisting for a while, when reinforcements arrive, Cao's army will be defeated!"

At this time, Tao Qian, who was covered in white hair and slightly tired, was yelling hard.

The Xuzhou army, which was about to collapse, was also highly motivated and pushed the Cao army soldiers who had already attacked the city walls back to the city.

The Cao army's offensive thus fell into a period of stagnation.

Under the city, with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun bravely advancing from all sides, he also moved closer to the city gate very quickly.

In the main formation, looking at the rescue team, so many brave generals who were unbearable emerged, Cao Cao frowned, his eyes revealed a little solemn expression, and said:

"There are so many powerful generals, but why are they not for me?"

At this moment, he looked at the generals below raged across his own military formations, like a place where no one was around. He couldn't help but feel a loving side of talent in his heart and murmured.

"Every powerful general who charges in this formation is not as brave as Lu Bu!"

For a moment, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.

He did not expect that he would attract so many fierce people to help him while conquering Xuzhou.

Although it was a little difficult for us to stop the enemy from rushing into the city to join the Xuzhou army, Cao Cao was also very calm and said with a chuckling:

"Which reinforcements are there on this road? Old thief Tao Qian has a great face!"

As the lord, he had an objective face and a light look, but his generals could not hold back.

During this period, Xi Zhicai became weaker and pale, and bowed:

"Lord, the enemy's army suddenly came to support. With the help of the powerful generals, they came and went smoothly in our army. Their troops were about to break out to the city gate, which instead triggered the morale of all the soldiers of the Xuzhou army to rise rapidly, blocking our army's offensive."

"At this moment, our soldiers have been sieging the city for a long time, and they are already exhausted and have severe physical overdrawn. It is better to take this opportunity to retreat to the camp first and rest. After the enemy reinforcements have fully entered the city, they will lead their troops to attack."

"In this way, we will also avoid being attacked from both sides!"

As soon as this statement fell, the civil and military people under his command agreed repeatedly:

"What sir said is good."

"Please make a decision early."

Hearing the advice of everyone, Cao Cao looked at the current situation and naturally knew that Xi Zhicai's plan was correct, and he was not a hesitant person.

After pondering for a moment, he ordered the entire army to retreat slowly.

The flag then began to shake tightly.

When Cao Ren, who was roaring hard in the military formation, looked at the waving of the order flag, he naturally did not dare to fight, so he had to shout:

"The soldiers of all departments obeyed the orders and slowly retreated to the camp to rest."

"Here..."

Immediately afterwards, the Cao army units quickly organized troops to withdraw the encirclement, and then retreated to the camp more than 30 miles away to rest, waiting for the opportunity to attack again.

Retreat and advance.

Liu Bei led his troops to the Xiaxiang City and was able to successfully join the Xuzhou army.

Afterwards, Zhao Yun led some Wuwan Hu cavalry back and killed him, and responded to Tian Kai and Kong Rong.

Seeing that reinforcements had arrived at the city and Cao's army had retreated across the board, Tao Qian was overjoyed and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.

The city gate was wide open, and he personally arrived at the city gate with the help of the guards next to him.

"Qian Qian is very grateful to you for coming to rescue without fear of the danger of Cao's army. Qian has been here again. Your great kindness will never be repaid for the rest of your life!"

Seeing that everyone arrived, Tao Qian bowed respectfully and made a gesture to bow to everyone.

Seeing this, Liu Bei was quick-witted and quick-witted. He immediately held him with one hand and said in a stern voice:

"Eunuch Tao is a traitor to the younger generation!"

"Not to mention that the envoy is a respected person, he is also a well-known scholar at home and abroad. Since he took office as the governor of Xuzhou, he has also managed the counties of Xuzhou in an orderly manner, and the scholars and people of each county are rich and rich, so that they can live and work in peace and contentment in troubled times."

"This is all the merits of the envoy."

When he said this, Liu Bei suddenly changed his expression and said seriously:

"But I didn't expect that Cao Cao had a bad ambition. He relied on his strong troops and horses to invade surrounding prefectures and counties to expand his strength. Moreover, he also massacred the city against the scholars and people in Xuzhou, killing the people bloodied. His atrocities are angered by both humans and gods!"

"Even if you don't send someone to come, as a member of the great Han people, Bei will spontaneously come to resist Cao Cao. I just hope that Xuzhou will not fall into the hands of such cruel people and bring greater suffering to the people."

Liu Bei said this very beautifully just now.

He not only affirmed Tao Qian's actions in terms of behavior, but also found a just reason for his help.

Then, Kong Rong, the good-looking man next to him, also said with a smile:

"Zu Gong, it's thanks to Xuande this time. If it weren't for his two rebellious brothers and the General Zhao whom Gongsun Bogui lent out, it would be a good idea for our army to break through the encirclement of Cao's army today."

After saying this, Tao Qian glanced unconsciously at the Guan, Zhang and Zhao, who were standing tightly behind Liu Bei. At first glance, they were all tall and brave generals with unique momentum on their bodies. At first glance, they could see that they were indeed powerful generals who rushed to the formation.

Aware of this, Tao Qian's smile appeared on his face and became stronger. Then he held Liu Bei's hands tightly and said loudly:

"Xuande can sacrifice his life and die this time, regardless of his own safety, come to save our Xuzhou from the fire and water, forcing the Cao army to retreat, causing the entire city to avoid the disaster. Qian, on behalf of the people of Xuzhou, thank you again."

After saying that, he made a gesture to perform a great gift.

Seeing this, Liu Bei quickly helped him up and said:

"Eunuch, you are too dissatisfied. You are just doing your duty as a great man. How can you bear such a great gift from the land?"

Seeing that Liu Bei had a very decent conversation, and his every word was polite, and he had a "demeanor of an elder", Tao Qian became more kind to him.

And his heart gradually prompted him to make a major decision.

After some greetings, Tao Qian still thanked Tian Kai, Kong Rong and others, so he called everyone into the mansion and set up a banquet to entertain everyone.

...

And just as the battle in Xuzhou was in full swing.

The situation in other prefectures and counties has also undergone extremely major changes.

Nanyang County.

Because Liu Biao sent tens of thousands of troops on land and land, Cai Mao and Huang Zu were appointed as the governor of the left and right, and led his troops to attack Lu Bu, intending to recover the lost Nanyang areas.

After hearing this battle report, Lu Bu also stayed at Zhang Liao to station troops in Shunyang, which was east of Danshui, and confronted the Xiliang army across the water to defend Nanyang to defend Nanyang.
