For the next ten days, Cao Cao worked outside the city to build weapons.
It looks like they are planning to attack Xiaopei by force.
That look was almost equivalent to saying, I, Cao Cao, will take Xiaopei.
In response, Guan Yu continued to move the city defense supplies to the city, preparing to defend Xiaopei to the death.
Of course, Liu Bei couldn't be unaware of the situation here.
When Liu Bei heard that Cao Cao was going to attack Xiaopei, he immediately assembled 25,000 soldiers and personally led them out of Xiapi.
In order to ensure that Xia Pi was firmly in his hands, Liu Bei left Zhang Fei and 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard Xia Pi.
"Brother...you...you go alone. I'm worried."
Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei, who was wearing armor and riding a warhorse, and said worriedly.
"Third brother, compared to this, I am actually more worried about you."
"Shuzhi's martial arts skills are extraordinary. Even compared to you, he can fight Baihe without losing."
"With the support of a thousand Bai Li soldiers, we can fight our way out of any sea of fire or mountain of swords."
Liu Bei raised his eyebrows and said with a worried look on his face.
"Third General, with me here, the lord will be safe."
"Even if I encounter a powerful enemy, Chen Dao will die before the lord, fighting to the death to carve out a bloody path for the lord."
Chen Dao said seriously, holding a spear.
"Well, I feel much more relieved with you here."
Zhang Fei looked at Chen Dao, who was almost the same age as him, and nodded.
"Third brother, when I leave Xia Pi this time, you must act with caution."
"In the past, when Yunchang and I were here, it was fine for you to drink, but now that you are in charge of Xia Pi, you must not drink too much."
Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei with concern and gave him some advice.
"Brother, please rest assured. I will never drink until you come back!"
Zhang Fei patted his chest and assured.
"it is good."
"The whole army is moving forward."
Liu Bei nodded in satisfaction, then whipped his horsewhip and gave an order.
Zhang Fei watched Liu Bei lead his troops away until he could no longer see anyone, and then he reluctantly returned to the city.

冀州
The spring plowing is nearing its end at this time.
In fact, the most time-consuming thing is military settlement.
If it weren't for the need to cultivate a large amount of military settlements, Dong Yu could actually set off more than ten days earlier.
But there was no way. It only took Dong Yu's army a dozen days to cultivate all the military fields.
There is no need for them to take care of the crops later on, just hire some laborers to look after the crops.
This short period of time can be exchanged for hundreds of thousands or even millions of tons of food. Other people would make the same decision.
"My lord, it has been more than half a month since Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou."
"If we don't hurry up, Cao Cao will probably capture Xuzhou and turn his army back."
Guo Jia looked at Dong Yu and said worriedly.
"It's only been half a month."
"Marching and building equipment takes time."
"Although I know Cao Cao is more capable than Liu Bei, it will still take more than a month."
"In two or three days, we can set off."
Dong Yu nodded, but he didn't think Cao Cao could win so quickly.
Although Cao Cao had been hammering Lao Liu in the early stages, it still took time.
It's impossible that Liu Bei didn't even resist, right?
Even if forced to fencing, a Bengal monitor can resist, let alone Cao who wants to kill you?
"In fact, Jia feels that Liu Bei may not be able to hold on for much longer."
"Although Cao Cao's military strength is not too strong, it cannot withstand Liu Bei's weakness."
"Liu Bei may seem to be in control of Xuzhou, but in reality he doesn't have many elite troops."
"Cao Cao has an army of 100,000, of which at least 70% are elite troops. Liu Bei has 40,000 to 50,000 troops... 30% is quite good."
Guo Jia stroked his short beard and guessed.
"Since you are worried, let Luo Yang take action first."
Dong Yu did not insist on his own opinion and immediately nodded in agreement.
He firmly believes that a person's thinking is limited.
His limitation is that he relies too much on historical memory.
