The issuance of the edict was like throwing a deep water bomb into the Cao army, which was equivalent to snatching half of Yanzhou from Cao Cao to Liu Bei from the hands of Cao Cao. How could Cao Cao agree?

It was similar to Chen Gong's idea, but Cao Cao did not need reinforcements. After spending two days to gather the remaining troops, he immediately launched a full-scale attack on Changyi. Liu Bei had no choice but to fight.

Under Cao Cao's attack without paying attention, Liu Bei's army gradually fell into a disadvantage. The moat was filled on the sixth day of the battle between the two sides. Liu Bei's troops experienced a round of defense and their combat power was greatly improved. However, Cao's army was a battle-hardened army of tigers and wolves. They still broke through the city defense at all times. The most dangerous time, even broke open the city gate. Guan Yu went into battle himself and led his men to kill Cao's army back from the city gate and blocked the city gate again.

This battle lasted for ten days without temptation. During the ten days, both sides almost tried their best to fight. Cao Cao suffered heavy losses and Liu Bei suffered numerous casualties.

"Brother, if you continue to fight like this, I'm afraid you can't wait for Taishi Ci to come to help. Changyi will be captured by Cao's army." Guan Yu dragged his tired body to see Liu Bei and said in a deep voice.

No matter how arrogant Guan Yu is, facing the crazy attack of Cao's army, he has to admit that although this temporary pieced together has been transformed after these ten days of fighting, and now he survives, he is already called elite. However, the cost is too great. Although the Cao army suffered heavy losses, it still has enough combat power at this time, and their troops are already difficult to defend fully.

According to Guan Yu's estimate, Cao's army would be able to break through the city gate tomorrow at the latest. By then, he would no longer have enough troops to drive Cao's army out of the city.

When Liu Bei heard this, his face looked even more sad. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xiangchen Palace. Is there any meaning to keep guarding this city?

Chen Gong looked at Liu Bei, showed a bitter smile, nodded and said, "Changyi is no longer guarded. We should retain our vitality and retreat to Jiyin, and then make plans!"

It’s not that he doesn’t want to fight, but now Cao’s army is too strong now, and with the casualties of a large number of soldiers, there has been a gap in the gap. He is not as good as others. Now he is short of troops. Liu Bei takes into account his reputation and is unwilling to mobilize the people to defend the city. These remaining soldiers are simply not enough to resist Cao Cao, so he can only retreat.

"It's just that if Shanyang loses, many of the counties occupied before will have to give up." Guan Yu said with a wry smile.

"It was because the palace was not planning well. Before that, we should move the people in Shanyang and other places to Jiyin and Liu Kongcheng to Cao Cao." Chen Gong smiled bitterly. Now he realized that he had too high demands. Liu Bei's army was newly established. How could he stop Cao Cao's counterattack? He should have moved the people and all the food and supplies to the rear. Even if he divided Yanzhou with Cao Cao in half, it could weaken Cao Cao's war potential.

But at this moment, it was too late to say anything, so we could only withdraw our troops. Now, these soldiers in Changyi City have experienced this battle and their combat power is much stronger than new recruits. Only by staying these soldiers can they quickly drive the combat power of Liu Bei's army.

"The palace had borrowed more than 10,000 troops from the Yuzhou Mu Guo Gong. Now he should have arrived in Jiyin. With the soldiers recruited by Gongyou, he can help the lord protect Jiyin without losing it. There are Jiyin, Chenliu and Dongjun, and the three counties connected together. As long as you guard this place, just wait for a while and after training the elite troops, you can compete with Cao Cao." Chen Gong looked at Liu Bei and said.

"Since the words of the Gongtai," Liu Bei nodded and pondered randomly, "But I don't know when I will set off? There are still many injured people in the army."

"Midnight at midnight!" Chen Gong said in a deep voice: "This matter cannot be discovered by the Cao army. The night is the thickest and the least noticeable. The lord can order people to tie some grass men and wear soldiers' armor to confuse Cao Cao. When Cao army discovers it in the sky dark, our army should have gone away!"

"Okay!" Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and said, "This matter is going to be troubled by Yun Chang."

"Brother, don't worry." Guan Yu bowed to the two and strode away.

...

The next morning, amid the rumbling drums, Cao's army launched another attack on Changyi. In just half a day, within half a day, they would be able to break through the city and capture and kill Liu Bei. The Cao's army was very confident in this.

It was just that the siege was unexpectedly successful and he was not even blocked by Liu Bei's army.

Under the city, Cao Cao's eyes couldn't help but become solemn. Soon, Cao Ren, who was responsible for the siege, came to report.

"Lord, there is no trace of Liu Bei's army in the city. According to the people in the city, Liu Bei had withdrawn his troops last night and withdrew from Changyi together with the wounded soldiers. As for where to go, the last general has sent people to investigate the traces, and there will be news soon."

Cao Cao's face looked a little ugly. He didn't care about the price, but it was not for a Changyi City. If Liu Bei did not die, the battle in Yanzhou would not end. He immediately said in a deep voice: "Send the wounded soldiers into the city, and the rest of the soldiers are on standby and ready to pursue!"

"Here!"

When the generals heard this, they followed the command.

Soon, news came from the soldiers responsible for tracking that Liu Bei's army was moving towards Jiyin.

"Lord, there are many wounded people in the enemy army, so they will not be able to move quickly. It is still time to catch up now!" Le Jin stepped forward and bowed and said, "I will ask for a fight!"

"Chasing!" Cao Cao nodded and immediately ordered Le Jin to be the vanguard and led three thousand soldiers to go on a light battle. In order to avoid Guan Yu, Zhang Fei relied on his bravery to kill the generals and sent Dian Wei and Xiahou Dun to help him, while Cao Cao himself led the army and followed closely behind.

...

Far away outside Changyi City, thirty miles away, a knight rushed to a village. This village was occupied by a group of strong men long before Cao and Liu started the full war.

What puzzled the villagers was that this group of strong men was a bit strange, and they did not burn, kill, loot, but blocked the entire village and even gave them money and food. In addition to being cold, after the initial panic, the villagers gradually got used to it, but they just refused to let go of the village, which was better than lifelessness.

The knight rushed to the most eye-catching manor in the village, ignored the flattering smile of the owner of the manor and went straight to the inside of the manor.

There was only one person in the manor, ten feet tall, wearing a three-pointed purple gold crown, and a beast-faced golden armor. When the knight came in, he was feeding a war horse with red body and two feet long.

"Wen Hou!" The knight turned over and dismounted and said with a knee.

"Say." This person was naturally Lu Bu. He didn't look back when he heard this. He continued to touch the mane of the Red Rabbit Horse, and a word popped out of his mouth.

"Yes! The pursuers of Cao's army have set out. According to Liu Bei's marching speed, they will be able to catch up at noon." The knight bowed and said.

"Is it at noon?" Lu Bu nodded, touching the mane of the Red Rabbit Horse and said, "It's time for you to go on stage!"

"Call everyone and set off!" Lu Bu hung Fang Tian's painting halberd on the horse's back, stepped on the stirrup and put on the horse, and said loudly.

"Here!" the knight agreed, took off a horn from the horse's back, and slapped his cheeks and blew it up.

Soon, dozens of knights entrenched in this village quickly gathered together. In the relief expression of the owner of the manor, Lu Bu was already heading towards Jiyin with his troops.

On the other side, as the knight said, Le Jin caught up with Liu Bei at noon, and immediately followed, Cao Cao personally led a large army to surround Liu Bei's more than 10,000 remnants.

"Brother Xuande, where are you going?" Cao Cao stood in front of the army, looked at Liu Bei with an ugly face, sneered, but ignored him, but turned his head and looked at Chen Gong with a complicated look.

"Business station, what's wrong with the fuck? Do you have to treat me like this?"

Cao Cao really didn't understand. When he was most frustrated, Chen Gong never betrayed him. Now he has just killed one of Bian Gang, and he has been killed by Cao Cao several times. Why did this matter make Chen Gong and other old ministers betray him?

"Of course you don't know." Chen Gong sneered: "Honest missed Cao Gong's life, I have never missed it. I'm waiting for the mistake!"

Cao Cao shook his head, glanced at Liu Bei, and sneered: "Is this what you chose to be the new owner? A man who weaves mats and shoes? What do you do with him? Are you weaving straw sandals?"

"Although my lord is a lowly person, he is a descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan and a relative of the Han Dynasty. He is even more benevolent and righteous, not like a jackal like you." Chen Gong sneered.

"Renyi?" Cao Cao shook his head when he heard this, and looked at Chen Gong and said, "In this way, the Gongtai must be an enemy of me."

"Not bad!" Chen Gong sneered.

"Have you ever thought about today?" Cao Cao pointed behind Liu Bei, a group of defeated soldiers and sneered.

"My lord is the lord of righteousness, and he will be blessed by God!"

"Okay, I'll see how God is here to protect him!" Cao Cao was unwilling to speak out more, and waved his hand and ordered an attack.

However, in Liu Bei's formation, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other, rode out at the same time, and rushed straight to Cao Cao. The two had discussed before that there were many wounded people on their trip. If Cao Cao chased him, he would definitely not be his opponent. At that time, he would take action at the same time and join forces to kill Cao Cao, which was also their only chance of winning.

Looking at the two generals of Guan and Zhang coming back, Cao Cao sneered, but slowly retreated into the army. Following him, Li Jin and Dian Wei rushed out at the same time.

"Zhang Fei, do you still remember me!" Seeing Zhang Fei, Li Jin roared, jumped up his gun and took Zhang Fei straight.

"It's you!" Zhang Fei's expression darkened when he saw this person. He had a fight with Li Jin outside the Cheng family that day. He knew that this person's martial arts were definitely not inferior to him. When he saw him coming, he did not dare to neglect him. He rolled up a snake spear and met Li Jin.

On the other hand, Guan Yu also fought with Dian Wei. For a moment, the four of them were divided into two pairs, fighting each other, and they were hard to solve. They had no energy to kill Cao Cao.

"How!?" Cao Cao sat on the horse's back, looked at Liu Bei and Chen Gong who were discolored, and laughed loudly: "Liu Xuande, you offended my city and harmed my best friend. Today, I must not let you leave this place!"
