If you want others to remember, you have to give him the most profound influence.

And on the battlefield, there is nothing more profound for a person to remember another than to let him lose a game.

Cao Cao thought about it in his heart, and rearranged: "Well, then let Yu Forbidden Leader 3,000 elite ambush break, what do Zhi Cai think?"

Since the general was left behind after the ban was broken, Xi Zhicai also put his mind at ease. "So Very Good"

After some discussion, the army was almost ready, so taking advantage of the night, Cao Cao led the army to withdraw quietly.

Early the next morning, after Liu Bei finished breakfast, he led his guards to hurry to the city tower to prepare for the next hard battle.

Speaking of why Liu Bei is here, it has to start with the two thousand old and weak soldiers and horses that Gongsun Zhan gave him.

Liu Bei led two thousand old and weak, and all the princes swept him out of the country as if they saw a plague god.

Two thousand old and weak, not only can't help, but also consumes grain and grass to raise, and Liu Bei is an ambitious person, how could the princes take him in.

But Tao Qian's fierce generals are scarce, and Xuzhou is surrounded by a group of heroes, and if you don't pay attention, you will be swallowed up and killed.

And at this time, Cao Cao was raising a large army to attack, and Tao Qian also needed to find someone to block in front of him, and just at this time he learned that Liu Bei was leading the army to arrive, so he invited him to stay.

And Liu Bei was also in urgent need of a place to stay, and when he learned that Tao Qian was willing to take him in, he immediately expressed his loyalty and was willing to help block the invading princes.

The two hit it off, and Liu Bei was also arranged to hold on to Xiapi, which had blocked Cao Cao's army from attacking, and handed him 5,000 soldiers and horses, supplemented by the strategist Chen Deng, hoping that he could block the offensive pace of Cao's army.

And Liu Bei did not live up to Tao Qian's high hopes, although he lost more than he won in the battle with Cao Cao, but finally the city was still in his hands, and he also reached the goal of blocking.

Returning to the city tower, Liu Bei was looking at Cao Ying in the distance, wondering in his heart, it was time for the Cao army, why didn't the Cao army attack, did Cao Cao want to play some conspiracy.

Liu Bei thought for a moment and said, "Come on, go and invite Mr. Yuanlong to come, just say that there are important things to discuss." ”

"Yes!" The soldier beside the guard heard the order and quickly turned and left.

"Click......

Not long after the soldier left, a sound of footsteps sounded, interrupting Liu Bei, who was watching from afar.

Turning his head to look, seeing that it was Guan Yu and Zhang Fei coming, Liu Bei hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Second brother, third brother, why are you here?"

Zhang Fei was short-tempered, and his heart was also anxious, and when he heard Liu Bei's question, he replied loudly: "Big brother, Cao Jun has not come to attack the city yet, according to his younger brother, he must be afraid, at this time, he should lead the army out of the city to counterattack, and he will definitely be able to break through Cao Ying in one fell swoop, big brother quickly order." ”

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Cao Cao is cunning, if he suddenly doesn't come to attack the city today, there must be some trick." ”

Seeing what Zhang Fei wanted to say, Guan Yu grabbed him and said: "Big brother is right, there are only less than 5,000 soldiers and horses in the city now, if you don't defend the city, you will definitely let Cao Jun take advantage of it." ”

"Alas!" Zhang Fei sighed, turned around and wanted to leave, heading to the north gate he was guarding.

"The third brother should not go, the eldest brother still has something to arrange." Seeing that Zhang Fei was leaving, Liu Bei hurriedly shouted.

"Big brother, if you don't go out of the city, then what's the matter, brother might as well go and guard the city gate, so as not to fall for tricks!" Zhang Fei replied angrily, but still obediently returned to Liu Bei's side.

Guan Yu looked at his eyes, shook his head slightly, and then squinted and stood aside.

Glancing at the two brothers left and right, Liu Bei glanced at the sun in the sky above, and put his gaze back on Cao Ying outside the city, feeling more and more wrong in his heart, but he couldn't think of anything wrong.

Half an hour later, Chen Deng hurried to the city tower, saw that Liu Bei's brothers were all there, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Yuan Long has met General Liu, General Guan, and General Zhang."

Hearing Chen Deng's voice, Liu Bei hurriedly replied and said: "Yuanlong doesn't need to be polite, come and see if this Cao army wants to use any tricks, why hasn't he come to attack the city." ”

Chen Deng arched his hand, glanced at Cao Ying, and asked casually: "General Liu, it can be seen that Cao Ying has risen from cooking smoke."

"Hmm!" Liu Bei sighed in his heart, and quickly replied: "No, that's according to Mr.'s intentions, but Cao Jun has already withdrawn."

"Possibly." Chen Deng replied casually, and then pointed at Cao Ying and said, "General Liu, you see that although the banner of Cao Ying has not changed, no one has moved outside the camp gate, so it must have been withdrawn." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, I will go to chase after the troops now, and I have avenged the siege of the city for many days!" As soon as he heard that Cao Jun was retreating, Zhang Fei immediately couldn't bear it.

"The third brother is back! Wait for the gentleman to finish. Seeing that Zhang Fei was about to leave again, Liu Bei shouted angrily and stopped him.

Seeing Zhang Fei returning to his side indignantly, Liu Bei respectfully asked Chen Deng: "Sir, since Cao Jun has withdrawn, then I will chase or not."

Although Chen Deng has never been eye-catching, when Liu Bei is in danger, he will always offer a few words to solve the dilemma.

So Liu Bei already knew in his heart that Chen Deng was not as unbearable as he appeared.

And he urgently needs a person to give advice, so he will obey Chen Dengyan and seek his favor.

But Chen Deng had already been arranged by his father when he was with the army, and he could not offer a plan to let Cao Jun lose too much, but he wanted Cao Cao to remember him, and he had already sought a way back for the Chen family in the future.

At present, Cao's army retreated suddenly, and Chen Deng was also unexpected, he wanted to let Cao Cao take the city in a few days, then he thought that this would happen.

"Chase, you must chase, if you don't kill some Cao Jun, Cao Cao won't be long before he will definitely come again." Chen Deng thought about it for a while, and then made up his mind.

"Hahaha! Or Yuanlong understands me Lao Zhang, big brother! Let's go and order the soldiers first! Zhang Fei smiled and wanted to leave.

Chen Deng smiled slightly, and said, "General Zhang is slow, Rong Yuanlong will explain a few words." ”

As long as he could pursue, Zhang Fei didn't complain anything, and quickly stopped listening with his ears pricked up.

"General Zhang only needs to lead more than 100 cavalry in the city to pursue, otherwise I am afraid that he will not be able to pursue."

"Okay, Mr. Yuanlong, don't worry."

Seeing Zhang Fei leaving, Chen Deng arched his hand to Guan Yu and said, "There is also General Lao Guan who led two thousand infantry, and then pursued him, so as not to ambush General Zhang." ”

"Yes!" Guan Yu's eyes opened, he gave his hand in response, and left quickly with a sword.

Seeing the two brothers leaving, Liu Bei asked Chen Deng: "Sir, can you catch up with Cao Jun in this battle?"

"General Liu rest assured, Cao Cao will not use the retreat army as a strategy, after all, the morale of the Cao army is high at this time, if he deliberately retreats, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses."

Chen Deng's face was full of confidence, and a spirit that a wise man should have exuded.

Liu Bei looked at his eyes, and wanted to get Chen Deng even more in his heart, so he suddenly knelt down with a plop, choked up and said:

"Mr. Yuanlong, Bei is the seventeenth grandson of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, although he is a royal relative, but at present, the Han Dynasty is in danger, but Bei is powerless......"

Looking at Liu Bei who was crying in front of him, Chen Deng was also moved by his thirst for talent, and couldn't help but step forward to help him up.
