Guo Jia was speechless and could only remain silent.

"So far, I have conquered Xuzhou four times, and I have killed too many people! The first two times were when Tao Qian was still there, and I was able to lead troops rampant in Xuzhou, and no one could stop me. But since Liu Bei captured Xuzhou, no,

It should be that after Zhou Ping helped Liu Bei capture Xuzhou, Gu came to attack again. Haha, the previous time he lost Zhang Liao, as well as Le Jin and Yu Jin, but this time, the victims were all Gu's brothers and beloved generals. Xuzhou, maybe Gu

You shouldn’t have come to cut it down!”

Cao Cao thought of the four times he led his troops to attack Xuzhou.

The previous time, in addition to losing Zhang Liao and entering the ban, he was also forced to move the emperor to Yecheng and reduce his troops to 20,000.

After finally waiting for the opportunity, General Yuan Shao sent 50,000 troops to attack Xuzhou with him, but he never expected that it would be like this.

The attacker becomes the victim.

Especially after Xia Houyuan and Cao Hong and Cao Ren died, these three were all brothers of Cao Cao!

Although these three people cannot be compared with Xiahou Dun, they are also his brothers with Cao Cao.

In fact, Cao Cao was originally from the Xiahou clan. Xiahou Dun's father and Cao Cao's father were brothers, and Xiahou Yuan was just a clan brother. Cao Hong's grandfather and Cao Ren's grandfather were brothers with Cao Cao's so-called "grandfather" Cao Teng. Cao Teng had

Of four brothers, he is the youngest.

The person Cao Cao trusted the most was always Xiahou Dun. It was precisely for this reason that he never won a battle or was promoted.

Even Xia Houyuan was more important than Cao Ren and Cao Hong. After all, they were the same clan by blood, while the Cao family members were only nominally the same clan.

"Ming Gong, before the enemy soldiers surround the camp, we should abandon the camp and retreat to Yanzhou. Otherwise, if we are surrounded on all sides, it will be difficult to retreat!" Guo Jia advised again.

Cao Cao suddenly raised his head after hearing this, knowing that his sadness was useless now. He could only go back to save Yanzhou and find a way to persuade Yuan Shao to believe that he didn't know about the imperial seal, let him go, and then find a way to develop steadily in order to destroy him in the future.

Liu Bei and Yuan Shao.

"How many more troops do we have?"

"Less than 20,000, only more than 18,000 people." Guo Jia replied.

They brought 50,000 troops and horses, plus Xiahou Yuan's 10,000, that's 60,000 troops, but now only this is left.

However, Cao Cao did not feel sorry for this and said: "Let the soldiers be well fed. We will leave at night. Let Xiahou Dun lead 10,000 people to cut off the rear. Lu Qian will lead 3,000 people to clear the way in front. The rest of the people will follow Gu."

The only generals who can fight now are Xiahou Dun and Lu Qian, except Dian Wei who wants to stay by his side to protect him.

Liu Bei met Guan Yu in the city and learned that both Cao Ren and Xu Huang had been killed in the battle, that all the enemies in Beicheng had been wiped out, and those who survived had either been captured or fled.

When I learned that Xu Huang would rather die than surrender, I couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that Xu Gongming made the mistake of defecting to Cao Cao! Let's give him a good burial!"

"Lord, Yangzhou, Yangzhou has faith."

At this time, soldiers came in a hurry, followed by several soldiers who came from Yangzhou to report the news.

"How is Yangzhou?"

Liu Bei had been trapped for many days and knew nothing about Yangzhou.

"My lord, Sun Quan led his troops to attack Wancheng. Su Fei, the governor of Lujiang, died in the battle. Chen Gong was captured and beheaded by Sun Quan."

"Lujiang was captured by Sun Quan? Gongtai is dead? Where is Jiujiang? What is the situation in Hefei?"

Liu Bei was most concerned about Jiujiang, and Lujiang was given to Huang Zu. Unfortunately, they were too incompetent.

"Sun Quan is leading the troops to attack Hefei, but the troops have not yet arrived. Li Jia, the prefect of Jiujiang, is preparing troops in Hefei to defend the city and resist the enemy."

"Go quickly and ask Li Gongliang to guard and stay in Hefei. Now that Cao Cao has been defeated, tell them that Guan Yunchang will soon lead his troops to rescue him, and let them guard for a little longer."

"promise."

The soldier accepted the promise and stood up to leave. Another soldier said: "My lord, Zhang Kai raised his troops to rebel. Mi Fang, the governor of Wu County, was killed. Wu County has been occupied by Zhang Kai."

"What? Zifang was killed by Zhang Kai?" Liu Bei couldn't believe it.

"Exactly, Zhang Kai lured Governor Mi to Qu'a and killed him while he was drunk."

Mi Zhu next to him staggered and almost fell.

"Zifang...Zifang..." he cried.

"Any other news? Tell me quickly."

Liu Bei began to get angry. He didn't expect that Yangzhou would end up like this after he defended Xuzhou.

"Lord, Sun Quan's troops rushed to attack Spring Valley. Lu Su abandoned the defense of Spring Valley, led his troops back to Danyang City, and guarded Danyang City with Tai Shici, the governor of Danyang."

"Brother, let me lead the troops to repel Sun Quan." Guan Yu said urgently.

He is now the governor of Yangzhou, and guarding Yangzhou is very important to him.

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "No, you can't leave until Cao Cao is destroyed. With Li Gongliang here, Hefei should be able to be held. Since Lu Zijing has retreated to Danyang and joined forces with Taishi Ziyi, there should be no worries. Once we are destroyed,

Cao Cao, raise your troops to recapture Yangzhou."

"Lord, please quickly order Chen Yuanlong to lead his troops back to Guangling and march into Jiangdu to suppress Zhang Kai and build momentum in Danyang from afar."

Zhuge Jin suggested.

Liu Bei remembered that Chen Deng was currently leading troops in Xuyi with Tian Yu, and hurriedly said: "Yes, order Chen Yuanlong to lead the troops back to Guangling quickly, and Tian Guorang and Liang Lu to lead the troops to Hefei to defend with Li Gongliang."

The soldiers all agreed and left.

"Yun Chang, you and your uncle will lead the troops out of the city first, and together with the Jizhou soldiers and horses, they will surround and suppress Cao Cao. I will arrive soon after."
