System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

At this time, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Sun Qian and Jian Yong had been waiting for a long time.

"Brother, sure!"

"When the sun reaches noon, we will conquer the enemy and return!"

Guan Yu's face flushed and he gave Liu Bei a thumbs up.

"Second brother, I've already told you to watch less Spring and Autumn."

"You have acquired so much knowledge."

Liu Bei's face darkened and he said unhappily.

"Tell me, why did Tao Qian send someone here?"

Liu Bei sat in the first seat, looked at everyone and asked.

"My Lord, I hear that Tao Qian has fallen seriously ill and has been bedridden for several days."

"The letter said that the lord should lead his troops to Xia Pi as soon as possible and take charge of the situation."

Sun Qian stroked his beard and said meaningfully.

"Let me take charge?"

"It's not my turn, is it?"

"Is there something fishy going on here?"

Liu Bei frowned and asked three questions in a row.

"My lord, is it possible that this is related to Cao Cao?"

"Cao Cao had just put down a rebellion in his state and defeated the invading Yuan Shu."

"I'm afraid they're going to attack Xuzhou again this time."

Jian Yong looked at Liu Bei and said thoughtfully.

"But what news did you get?"

"Has Cao Cao made any unusual moves?"

Liu Bei was stunned and asked with some concern.

If Cao Cao attacks Xuzhou, Xiaopei will be the first to bear the brunt.

I finally had some time to rest this year.

Although they recruited more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, plus the thousands of cavalrymen they already had, they did have a certain ability to protect themselves.

But if you want to rely on these people to go to war with Cao Cao, it would be nothing but a pipe dream.

Even if he didn't accept it, Brother Liu, who had a bad temper, was a little scared at this moment.

During this period, he deeply felt the changes of the times.

In previous wars, thirty or twenty thousand people were considered large-scale engagements.

With his command level as the god of small-scale team battles, he seemed to be at ease.

But now, with such a large-scale war involving 50,000 or even 100,000 soldiers, Liu Bei felt somewhat overwhelmed.

"I have been busy with the autumn harvest and my lord's marriage."

"We didn't send anyone to Yanzhou to investigate."

"But I sent someone there last night."

"I believe that within three to five days, there will be news back."

Jian Yong said with a look of shame on his face.

This matter is also his fault.

The main reason was that he didn't expect that Cao Cao would immediately launch a large army to attack Xuzhou after resolving the rebellion in the state.

He couldn't think of such a thing, so naturally he neglected the collection of intelligence on Yanzhou.

"That's too late."

"I will lead my troops to Xia Pi right now."

"You'll know when you get there."

Liu Bei waved his hand and decided to set off immediately.

"My Lord, what about Xiaopei?"

Jian Yong asked with some concern.

"I will go first. You and Shuzhi will lead the troops and my family to follow."

"If Tao Qian really gave Xuzhou to me, this little Pei would be of no use."

Liu Bei thought for a moment and then gave the order.

Although Xiaopei is very important to Xuzhou, he does not have the ability to garrison there now.

There are already few troops, and if more are sent to guard Xiaopei, it will undoubtedly make the situation of the poor families even worse.

"This...Brother, why don't I stay."

"If Xiaopei is lost, Cao Cao can march straight into Xiapi."

Guan Yu stroked his beard and said seriously.

"Second brother!"

"How...how sure are you?"

Liu Bei asked with a worried look on his face.

He was worried about Guan Yu being alone in Xiaopei.

There are only 10,000 infantry and 2,000 light cavalry in Xiaopei City now.

He must take the cavalry with him, so he could only leave Guan Yu with these 10,000 new recruits who had just been trained.

"I can't guarantee it."

"But if the city falls, brother, I am willing to perish with Cao Cao."

Guan Yu shook his head and said with an extremely firm look.

"I will resolve the Xuzhou issue as soon as possible."

"When the time comes, I will send troops to aid you."

Liu Bei gritted his teeth and decided to trust Guan Yu.

If Xiaopei can really be defended, it will be of great significance to the strategic development of Xuzhou.

As long as he quickly takes Xuzhou, he can send troops.

Then you won’t have to worry about these things.

"Brother, don't worry."

"Xiaopei has me, and the city is with its people."

Guan Yu clasped his fists and responded.

"Even if the city is destroyed, the people must remain."

"If necessary, you can surrender, as long as you are alive."

"Even Cao Cao's trusted confidant Xiahou Dun can surrender, so can you."

"You must stay alive."

Liu Bei held Guan Yu's hands and said with a moved expression.
