Guan Yu led his troops to attack Shouchun and launched several consecutive attacks but returned in vain.

Later, there were two attacks in the city, and the Xuzhou army also ascended the city wall.

Every time the Xuzhou army successfully climbed the city, Huo Wu, who was dormant in the neighborhood, rushed up immediately and killed them on the top of the city.

A few days after the Xuzhou army attacked Shouchun.

Cao Shu, who had already crossed the river, sat on the bank of the abandoned Yellow River and looked at the other side of the river.

He had ordered Sima Yi, who was stationed in Pengcheng, to not act rashly and wait for Liu Bei's next move.

"Young Master!" Mi Heng came to Cao Shu and said to him: "The news came from Shouchun that Guan Yu led an army of 10,000 to siege the city and had been attacking for several days."

"How are the casualties of soldiers guarding the city?" Cao Shu asked.

"No more than a hundred casualties." Mi Heng said: "Thanks to Huo Wu's defense, otherwise Guan Yu might have already broken through the city."

"I know that with Huo Wu here, the enemy will not be able to make any achievements." Cao Shuo said: "What we have to wait for now is what Liu Xuande will do next."

"We have been waiting for several days, and Liu Bei has not taken action." Mi Heng said: "Will he?"

"Do you think he won't come?" Cao Shuo asked.

"It's hard to say!" Mi Heng said: "Liu Bei is a deceitful person. Although he doesn't have much ability, he is not a reckless person. The young master is stationed here for several days, but he has not made any move yet. Maybe he has seen through our army's plans."

"Do you really think this is going to happen?" Cao Shuo asked.

Mi Heng nodded and said, "I think this should be the case. If it were me, the soldiers in Pengcheng would not move and the young master was stationed in the derelict Yellow River, he could see some clues."

"Are we doing it too deliberately?" Cao Shuo asked.

"That's right." Mi Heng said: "If you really want to start a war in the Abolition of the Yellow River, at least you will bring Liu Bei over."

Cao Shu stood up and said to Mi Heng: "Tell me the order, and the army will immediately lead to Xia Pi."

Mi Heng asked, "What should I do if Pengcheng?"

"I ordered Sima Yi and Lu Bu to lead their troops to join our army in Xiapi." Cao Shuo said: "Pengcheng only needs to leave some troops and horses to guard."

"I'll go and pass the order now." Mi Heng responded.

Not long after, the army set out for Xia Pi.

The day after Cao Shu led his troops to set off, Xia Pi City.

Liu Bei sat in the study.

Mi Zhu stood in front of him.

"Cao Zirong really raised his troops to Xia Pi." Mi Zhu said: "Does the emperor plan to meet the enemy or stay in Xia Pi?"

"It seems that it won't work anyway." Liu Bei said: "If we face the enemy, our army will not be his opponent. If we are trapped in Xia Pi, we still don't know if there will be foreign aid."

"Have people who went to Qingzhou returned?" Liu Bei asked Mi Zhu.

"Not yet." Mi Zhu replied: "It's time to come back!"

"It seems that I can't wait!" Liu Bei sighed: "If Zang Ba and others don't raise their troops to attack me, it's my luck."

"Send the order and Yide is the vanguard and lead five thousand troops to stop Cao Zirong." Liu Bei said: "I personally lead 20,000 troops and then support him."

"What should I do when I am Xia Pi?" Mi Zhu asked.

"You and Mi Fang are there." Liu Bei said: "Leave ten thousand people for you, but don't throw Xia Pi to me, otherwise we will really become a betrayal dog."

"Don't worry, uncle!" Mi Zhu said: "Even if I die, I will definitely defend Xia Pi."

The abandoned Yellow River is not very far from Xia Pi.

When Liu Bei got the news, Cao Shu was less than a hundred miles away from Xia Pi.

While moving, Mi Heng asked Cao Shu: "Young Master, do you want to wait here for Zhongda and General Lu?"

"What are they doing?" Cao Shuo said: "If you walk farther forward, you should be able to meet Liu Bei's soldiers."

"We have few soldiers, and we don't have much chance of winning when we meet Liu Bei." Mi Heng said: "Pengcheng is not very far from here. At most, Zhongda and the others will be able to arrive in one day."

"You said you only have to wait for a day." Cao Shuo said, "Can our army can't resist Liu Bei for one day?"

Miheng didn't say anything anymore.

With the troops led by Cao Shu, let alone resisting for one day, fighting with the Xuzhou army, it is hard to say who wins and loses.

Once Sima Yi and Lu Bu arrive, the situation of the battle will become clear.

He was walking forward with his troops when Cao Shu saw a fast horse running over.

On the horse's back is the scout walking in front of the road.

When he came to Cao Shu, the scout stopped the horse and said, "Young Master Qi, Zhang Fei is leading 5,000 troops here and is coming to fight. Liu Bei leads 20,000 troops and follows him for less than ten miles."

"Liu Bei used Zhang Fei as the pioneer." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, take Feixiong Camp first and let Zhang Fei know that our soldiers can really be ten!"

"Get the order!" Zhao Yun bowed his hand and took the order, called Feixiong Camp, and rode his horse forward.

Cao Shu shouted to the army: "Soldiers, hurry up, Xia Pi is ahead. After entering Xia Pi City, I will give you two more days off."

The two days off undoubtedly told the soldiers that they could do anything except killing people.

The soldiers cheered happily, and their morale was a little higher than when they marched.

Zhao Yun led the Feixiong Camp to run all the way, and soon left Cao Shu and the army behind.

Zhu Ao asked, "General Zhao, do you want to wait for the young master?"

"What are you waiting for the young master to do?" Zhao Yun said: "Zhang Fei only brought five thousand people. As long as we move faster, we will definitely be able to repel Liu Bei before he arrives."

"If you fail to repel, the soldiers will be surrounded by the enemy." Zhu Ao said: "General, it's better to be cautious!"

"With me here, where can I not be able to repel the enemy?" Zhao Yun said: "Just come with me!"

Zhao Yun insisted on speeding up the marching, but Zhu Ao didn't say much, so he had to follow him closely.

At this time, Cao Shu was also urging the soldiers to speed up.

"I think General Zhao seems to be going deeper alone." Chen Dao said to him: "If Feixiong Camp is surrounded and our army fails to arrive in time, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"What you want is that they go deeper alone." Cao Shuo said: "With the five thousand enemy troops brought by Zhang Fei, it is impossible for General Zhao to be the opponent of General Zhao. Liu Xuande arrived. If he did not send troops to rescue him, Zhang Fei would definitely be defeated again. If he ordered a full-scale attack, our army's chance would come!"

After Cao Shu said this, Chen Dao couldn't ask again. Follow him and quickly advance towards Xia Pi.

At the same time, Zhang Fei led 5,000 Xuzhou troops to come towards him.

As he was walking, the captain beside Zhang Fei pointed forward: "General, a team of people came from the front."

When the captain pointed forward, Zhang Fei had already seen a group of people coming towards him.

From the smoke and dust he could see that the number of the troops was not large, at most only six or seven hundred.
