The head of Cao's cavalry who captured the people was Cao Hong.

It turned out that Cao Hong found out that the largest wealthy family nearby was the Zhuge family in Langya. When he arrived at the place, he saw that the head of the family Zhuge Xuan had already taken his family away, leaving behind a young son who was unsteady to take care of the tribe. He was worried that he would be scolded by Cao Cao and hurriedly brought people to chase him. Thanks to Zhuge Xuan who was reluctant to leave the bottles and jars and walked very slowly, he was caught up.

beep!

An arrow shot through the roof of the ox cart. Zhuge Jun saw the arrow inside the ox cart and was so scared that he threw himself into Zhuge Liang's arms. Zhuge Liang's face was also not far from sight.

This arrow is warning.

Zhuge Xuan sighed and knew that he could not escape, so he asked the guard to stop and wait for Cao's army to deal with it.

"Second brother, will we die...just like the people we saw on the road?"

"Don't worry, brother Jun, we won't have any trouble."

Zhuge Liang comforted his trembling younger brother, and couldn't help but recall the refugees he saw along the way, and couldn't help but hate Cao's army who killed the people indiscriminately.

"I am Zhang Yide, a native of Yan! Get out of here!!!"

A huge roar of thunder seemed to be like a god coming to the world, which made Zhuge Liang open the car window and look at it.

But he saw a black-faced general, with leopard head and eyes, swallow chin and tiger beard, sound like a huge thunder, like a galloping horse, and a spear, making it like a black whip, and it will die when it is touched. Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh, "What a fierce general!"

"Cao Zilian, don't leave! Liu Xuande is here, it's not too late to help me bring a word to Cao Gong before leaving!"

"Liu Bei? If you have the ability, please tell Zhang Fei not to interfere. Are we two generals dared?" Cao Hong was not stupid, knowing that he could not beat Zhang Fei.

"Okay, let me show you my Liu Bei's sword technique!" Liu Bei laughed in anger and nodded in response.

It was another conversation, and Zhuge Jun also stretched out his head, but what he saw was two riding generals colliding together, one riding a white horse, holding a big gun, the other riding a yellow horse, and holding a double-stranded sword.

The black-faced general next to him looked like he was watching a show and was not worried at all.

Later generations thought that Liu Bei was just as good at martial arts, but he didn't think about it. If he was really just good at martial arts, how could he make a way out of the chaos army again and again? It was luck once, and it was strength again and again.

In fact, Liu Bei's military power is comparable to Cao Hong.

But Cao Hong was so panicked when facing Zhang Fei who was eyeing him beside him. Liu Bei grabbed the flaw and stabbed him in the arm with a sword. The spear couldn't help but land.

"Go back and tell Cao Cao that I, Liu Bei, are here! Although you, Xu and Yan are fighting, they are all Han ministers? The people are also Han people? If you dare to kill the people indiscriminately, do you really think there are no righteous people in the country?!"

"I am a general in Yanzhou, they are a citizen of Xuzhou? What do the people of Xuzhou have to do with me?" Cao Hong pulled his horse back and walked back, while muttering.

"Cao Zilian! Don't you want to leave?" Zhang Fei roared angrily. It worked much better than Liu Bei's words.

Cao Hong did not dare to speak anymore, and turned around and left with the cavalry. When Cao's army retreated, Liu Bei asked the soldiers to rescue the people.

"Wow~~Second brother, this is called Liu Bei's so majestic!"

Zhuge Liang nodded? He remembered Liu Bei's appearance in his heart.

Liu Bei learned from the people that Zhuge was also among them. He quickly got off the horse and asked for advice. Zhuge Xuan only said that he had received letters from his friends from the south and went to Yangzhou. He did not talk about military and national affairs, which made Liu Bei feel a little regretful.

In the ox cart heading south, Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei's back who was leaving? He secretly remembered the name of Liu Bei and Liu Xuande in his heart.

This side is the first time the two met.

Liu Bei didn't know yet that he had met the most important person in his life.

What they didn't know was that in history, the two of them would become a model for the mutual understanding between kings and ministers for thousands of years, but in this time and space, no one knew whether the two of them would come together.

When Cao Cao learned that Liu Bei was coming to help, he was a little dissatisfied with Cao Ren's release of Liu Bei. On the other hand, he felt that he could take this opportunity to eliminate the remaining combat power in Xuzhou in one fell swoop, so he did not send troops to stop him and sat down to Liu Bei's entry into the city to help Lu Zhi.

After Liu Bei entered the city, Lu Zhi also breathed a sigh of relief, and at least someone was available in his hands.

"My teacher, when I passed through Tan County, the envoy Tao sent another army to help me. This time, I brought a total of 1,000 cavalry and 4,000 infantry, totaling 5,000."

"Okay, Xuande is here. This time, Cao Cao came in a fierce manner and drove the people to attack the city. Most of your soldiers were from Peiguo and Youzhou, and there were cavalry, which was just enough to defeat his tactics of driving the people."

"My teacher, the city cannot be harvested for a long time, how can we defeat the enemy?"

Lu Zhifu said, "Cao Cao raised his troops twice within a year. Although it was the autumn harvest, the food and grass must be tight. I think it is only necessary to hold on for one month, Cao Cao will inevitably withdraw his troops."

Liu Bei, Cao Bao and others thought about it and thought it made sense, so they defended the city with peace of mind and waited for Cao Cao to withdraw his troops.

On the other hand, Ma Qiang took the Guards Division to Yecheng.

"What's the situation?" Ma Qiang asked Han Fu and Xian Yufu as soon as he arrived in the city.

Xian Yufu bowed and said, "After Yuan Shao defeated the three fort groups of our army, he did not use gunpowder, but instead changed to siege.

At this time, Yuan Shao was attacking Wushan, and Yecheng only sent cavalry to harass the local area and grab food."

"Attacking Fushan? How strong is it?"

"Although they are attacking every day, the offensive is a little weaker for the tens of thousands of troops brought by Yuan Shao. The Yuan army was killed and injured in the attacks of mountains every day."

"Three hundred people? That's a little weak."

Ma Qiang sorted out the situation and let out a long breath, knowing that although Yuan Shao had gunpowder in his hand, the amount was not large, otherwise he could have thrown the explosive pack all the way to the mountain.

Anyway, Yuan Shao has many soldiers, so he won the whole world as a terrorist.

"Play out my handsome flag and tell Yuan Shao that his father is here! Let him come to me!" Ma Qiang held a night of meetings from Guangzong and then didn't stop. Until now, he was full of anger. He really wanted to pull Yuan Shao over and sing on his knees to conquer.

"promise!"

With the support of the Guard Division, Xian Yufu felt that this battle had been won.

By chance, Yuan Shao thought so too when he learned that Ma Qiang had arrived in Yecheng.

"Okay! Okay!!" Yuan Shao patted his thigh and smiled at the surrounding civil and military officials, "He, Ma Qiang, must have thought that Yuan Shao had a lack of gunpowder and could not break through the city, so he dared to come to Yecheng to fight me in a decisive battle. However, he didn't know that there was still enough gunpowder in my hand to explode the gate of Yecheng!"

"Ming Gong, let me be the pioneer in this battle!" Wen Chou shouted first.

"Good brother, let me come!" Yan Liang also rushed to the forefront.

The other generals also thought it was a fighter and asked for a fight. Yuan Shao smiled and nodded repeatedly, only thinking that the morale was high and the morale of the army was available.

"Ming Gong, this gunpowder is owned by the horse thief. He will definitely not beware of the tactics of Ming Gong retaining gunpowder and exploding the city gate. If you are right, you should use the conventional method of siege to test one or two of them first." Ju Su said with a look.
