Chapter 426 (1/2)

Outside the city of xiapi, in Cao's barracks.

”Lord!” Xia Houyuan led more than a thousand troops out of the camp gate to meet Cao Cao's cadres.

Cao Cao nodded: ”wonderful talent, hard you, and into the camp again.”

Xia Hou yuan nodded respectfully and welcomed Cao Cao and a cadre of generals into Cao's camp outside the city of xiapi.

”My Lord, what's the situation of encircling and annihilating Cao Bao?” Xia Houyuan couldn't wait to ask. When Cao Cao's army surrounded Danyang soldiers, he was ordered to raid xiapi and didn't take part in the battle. Therefore, he was eager to know the situation of the war.

Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai. Xi Zhicai explained: ”general miaocai, our army had surrounded Cao Bao and his Danyang soldiers, but they didn't expect that Liu Bei, the Prime Minister of the plain, borrowed a troop from Gongsun Zan and suddenly attracted troops to help, which made our army unable to achieve full success.”

Xia Houyuan frowned: ”Liu Bei? He's here to get involved

Cao Cao sneered: ”no matter, Liu Bei and Cao Bao fled to xiapi city. Our army only needs to break down xiapi City, then Xuzhou can be peaceful.”

In xiapi city.

”As plain as Liu Bei, I've met Tao Shijun.”

”Xuande saved Xuzhou from thousands of miles. I remember this kind of kindness in my heart. If Xuzhou can be liberated in the future, I will be grateful.”

Having said that, Tao Qian said to MI Zhu, ”Zizhong, you can arrange for Xuande and the two heroes to live in the post house. Don't neglect it.”

Mi Zhu arched his hand: ”Nuo, Tao Shijun.”

Step on it! The messenger suddenly burst into the hall and knelt on one knee: ”Tao Shijun, Cao's army has attacked the city!”

”What?” Tao Qian's face worried: ”for this Assassin's armor, I will personally go to battle to supervise the war.”

”Tao Lingjun.” Liu Bei stepped forward: ”if you don't give up, you and your two brothers are willing to lead the song to fight in the city.”

Tao Qian was a little embarrassed and said, ”Xuande just got rid of his bloody battle today, which...”

Zhang Fei laughed: ”Tao Lingjun doesn't have to worry about us. My old Zhang hasn't played enough today. He just goes to the battle to exercise his muscles and bones.”

Cao Bao frowned: he is also rude. Tao asked Liu Bei, how can you come out to answer?

Tao Qian ha ha ha a smile: ”wing Germany general really fierce soldier also, since this, that is troublesome three.”

After that, the three brothers, Tao Qian and Liu Bei, as well as a group of civil and military personnel of Xuzhou, went to the city head to supervise the battle. When the soldiers of Xuzhou saw the general coming up, they immediately made way for a passage.

”Cao's army is so powerful...” Tao Qian looked at the city and frowned. At that time, Tao Qian was also a military general killed in a sea of corpses and blood. He had been ordered to pacify the rebellion in Liangzhou. He was quite experienced in military affairs. However, when he saw the battle situation of Cao's army under the city head, he could not help but be deeply worried.

The number of Cao's troops under the head of the city was more than 30000 and less than 40000. They surrounded the East, the West and the south respectively, and deliberately left the north gate to encircle the three towers.
