Despair, desperate for survival......

These two words well summarize Liu Bei's current mood and situation.

For the sake of righteousness, Liu Bei led his brothers and the already small number of men and horses to Xuzhou to rescue Tao Qian. However, even if he had been prepared in advance for the loss of his troops, when this tragic fact happened in front of him, Liu Bei still felt that he couldn't accept it!

There are less than 2,000 of the 5,000 soldiers and horses left, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei are nowhere to be found, and Guan Yu has a broken arm - and in this era, Liu Bei must have never heard of any strange things like the recontinuation of the broken arm.

In other words, most of his second brother's most commendable force was abolished by the fierce general in the distance!

Looking at Guan Yu, who had fallen into a coma, Liu Bei's movements were not slow, he supported Guan Yu, and at the same time he also jumped on the horse's back, and with Liu Bei pinching the horse's belly, the war horse galloped and fled into the distance.

"Where to run!"

The roar like a life-urging demon sound sounded again, and at this moment, Liu Bei only heard the strong wind blowing behind his head, and as soon as he barely lowered his head, he saw a short halberd flying from the back of his head, directly bombarding not far in front of him.

"Boom".

It was as if a bomb had been detonated, and dozens of soldiers were blasted into the sky by the halberd of Dian Wei, and when they landed, they were already in pieces!

With such power, Liu Bei was terrified.

Fortunately, although this Dian Wei halberd is powerful and accurate, it takes a long time to brew, plus Dian Wei has no horses, and Liu Bei still has some soldiers behind him who are willing to die, so that Liu Bei will not be bombarded alive by Dian Wei on the road of escape.

As Guo Jia said......

Heaven does not die, Liu Bei.

Dian Wei is like a fort, constantly blasting at Liu Bei's halberd, but the obstacles of the soldiers, the lack of sight and other factors always make Dian Wei's halberd a fraction of a second, he just watched Liu Bei escape from the gossip array in embarrassment, and in the end, Dian Wei couldn't help but pout.

"Count you kid running fast!"

……

As soon as the army collapsed, it was like a dam bursting.

Tao Qian brought nearly 90,000 soldiers and horses when he came, but less than half of them left when he left.

Seeing the gate of Xuzhou City open in the distance, Tao Qian and the others fled back to Xuzhou City as if they were crazy, Wang Wei couldn't help but sigh.

Brilliant results......

But not so brilliant......

Ordinary soldiers have killed a lot and captured a lot, and with a little "probation", these soldiers can become Wang Wei's own strength. The gains of the generals are also huge, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei were both captured, but the damned people ran faster than rabbits!

Liu Bei, Tao Qian, Tian Kai, and Kong Rong were not captured......

It can only be said that these lords are well versed in the way of self-preservation.

In the distance, the gate of Xuzhou City slowly closed, and it crawled in front of Wang Wei like a sleeping beast, but somehow, Wang Wei found that there was a faint twilight on this Xuzhou City.

Guo Jia's voice came from his ears.

"Congratulations to the general, the heart of the Xuzhou city army has collapsed, and the next time the city is attacked, Xuzhou will be broken!"

"At the moment, you have two choices, General."

"One: Immediately send troops to attack Xuzhou, although our soldiers are tired, but the soldiers of Xuzhou City are even more tired, at this moment our army is swarmed up, and the city will be able to break through within two days, but in this way, the casualties may not be too small......"

"Two: Suspend for two days, and at the same time persuade Tian Kai, Kong Rong and Liu Bei to retreat according to the general's original strategy, so that although it is slower, the loss of soldiers will be reduced a lot, and it will be easier to succeed."

Do you still need to choose this?

Wang Wei didn't think about it, and announced the order.

"The whole army withdraws to the battalion!"

……

In contrast to the gloomy city of Xuzhou, Wang Wei's camp was immersed in the joy of victory in the war.

For this big victory, Wang Wei was not stingy, greeting the soldiers with good wine and food, and the whole camp looked like the grain and grass were about to run out.

In this regard, Li San had some complaints, but Wang Wei and Guo Jia didn't seem to have thought about it, and they didn't care about the issue of grain and grass at all.

As a last resort, Li San could only hold back his words - his thoughts were also very simple, in terms of brains, how could he be compared with generals and military advisors, since these two bigwigs were not worried, it proved that this matter was not as serious as he thought.

The whole camp was so ridiculous all night, except for the evil vanguard who was in charge of guarding the camp, the rest of the soldiers were all drunk and dizzy. And the possible night attack did not happen, Wang Wei and Guo Jia waited all night in the Chinese army's tent, and did not wait for Tao Qian to make any moves.

It wasn't until dawn that the soldiers got up at the specified time that Wang Wei and Guo Jiafang glanced at each other.

"Tao Qian has lost his courage."

Guo Jia made a simple inference.

And Wang Wei also shook his head with a smile.

"The rest is just waiting."

And Tao Qian, or the envoy of Xuzhou City, did not let Wang Wei wait too long.

After waiting for less than an hour, Li San went inside.

"General Yu, the envoy from Xuzhou is coming."

"Who is it?"

"A scribe named Sun Qian."

"Please come in."

As soon as the words fell, Li San retreated, and after a while, he walked in with a scribe in a gray robe.

"Xiaguan Sun Qian, I have seen General Wang."

Although Sun Qian said this, his squinted eyes kept scanning Guo Jia's body.

Yesterday's gossip array is still fresh in everyone's memory, and looking at the current seat, presumably yesterday's gossip array must have been arranged by this person.

Regarding Guo Jia's ability, Sun Qian can only say the word "service".

"Sir, don't be polite, Li San, give Mr. a seat."

After Wang Wei invited Sun Qian to sit down, he recruited someone to prepare tea, Wang Wei, Guo Jia, and Sun Qian just sipped the tea, until a cup of tea was drunk, and Wang Wei smiled and said.

"I don't know why Mr. Sun came this time?"

"Back to the general's words, the villain came this time to ask the general for peace on behalf of my lord Tao Qian."

"Oh?"

After hearing this, Wang Weiden glanced at Sun Qian with a smile, but heard a sentence come out of Wang Wei's mouth.

"Could it be that Tao Tai kept the conditions that he promised my lord?"

"On what terms?"

"It's to dedicate the city, and then kill yourself in front of the grave of Old Lady Cao, I remember that my lord said it quite clearly."

Wang Wei said quietly, but saw Sun Gan's head shaking like a rattle.

"No, no, my lord means that you and I will stop the war, and from then on the well water will not violate the river water, if the general is like this, my Xuzhou will not only offer 300,000 loads of grain and grass to Cao Gong every year, but also offer 100,000 yuan to the general every year."

As soon as the words fell, Wang Weiden smiled.

"I think this Tao Qian is also beaten and doesn't have a long memory! Sir, don't talk to me about these useless things, let's get down to business. ”

As soon as the words fell, Sun Qian suddenly smiled bitterly.

This Wang Wei is not so easy to fool.
