As a result, he agreed!
Suddenly... Liu Bei felt that this thousand gold would be less... loss!Blood loss!
But the words that are spoken, the water that is poured out!There is no other way!
The next day, the brothers led five thousand troops and headed towards Xiaopei.
In their eyes, Cao Cao only has more than 4 soldiers and horses, Xiao Pei has tens of thousands from Tao Qian, and he brings a few thousand more.
With their courage and Chen Gong's resourcefulness, there is no problem at all!
The remaining [-] troops were handed over to Tian Yu for temporary control!
Liu Bei still trusts Tian Yu very much, and the relationship between the two is also very good!
If it wasn't for the fact that the other party had an old mother in Pingyuan who was unwilling to give up, he would definitely be able to poach Tian Yu away!And Tian Yu's abilities are also extremely strong!Leading soldiers and fighting are great!
After four or five days of running around, Liu Bei and others finally arrived in Xiaopei City!
At this moment, Cao Bao was being carried out to meet Liu Bei!
Next to him stood a Sun Gan dressed as a counselor!
Don't ask why it was carried... After fighting with those little soldiers, I accidentally got stabbed a few times and almost fell on the board.
Just after being bandaged, when I thought of tens of thousands of gold being stolen, I was so angry that I had a stroke again!So now temporarily unable to move.
It can be described as a tragic figure!
Fifty thousand gold is worth five hundred million copper plates!Plus Ye Mingzhu... No one can take this blow...
"Mr. Xuande, you have come from afar to help us defeat the enemy. You are welcome from afar! Don't be surprised if you still hope!"
Sun Qian arched his hands and said hello.
Liu Bei bowed his hands in return: "Gongyou, you are polite! Tao Gongzu, a kind person like Tao Gongzu, is in trouble. How can I not help my neighbors?"
Seeing Liu Bei being so polite, Cao Bao was also lying on the stretcher, raised his hand tremblingly, and grinned with a forced smile.
"Aba! Abba! Abba!"
Liu Bei and the others, the smiles on their faces froze instantly, nodded mechanically, then called Sun Gan aside, and asked in a low voice:
"Gongyou! Is Tao Gongzu already in such a difficult situation? His general, injured like this, still wants to defend the city?"
Sun Gan has a black thread.
He glared at Cao Bao angrily, what would he do if he was injured like this!a shame!
"Hey! Duke Xuande doesn't know something! This... is General Cao Bao who is famous in Xuzhou!"
"It's a pity... After being repeatedly defeated in the battle against Cao Ying, I felt ashamed because of my anger, and spit out a mouthful of blood, and then fell into an incurable disease!"
Sun Gan was in pain for a while, how could he tell outsiders that this bird man fought with his subordinates to make it like this?
I can only find a better excuse!
After Liu Bei and the others listened, their faces were solemn!
Immediately walked back, arched his hands to Cao Bao, his face was full of admiration!
"General Cao, Xuande is so polite! The general's professional integrity is worthy of our promotion!"
Cao Bao: Abba? ? ? (what are you talking about?)
Liu Bei was stunned for a while, but didn't understand!
Abba Abba is like a fool.
But the surface work has to be done well!If you don't show your admiration for such a loyal minister, is that plausible?
Liu Bei blinked his eyes and spoke again.
"Sir, such a disabled and determined spirit, is more worthy of our study! Don't worry, I will tell the people and soldiers in Pingyuan that Xuzhou has a loyal General Cao!"
"I will make your name known far and wide! Let your name of loyalty be recorded in the annals of history!"
"Second brother and third brother! This is our role model!"
Hearing this, Cao Bao's body began to tremble violently.
He felt that Liu Bei had been mocking him!
"Abaa Baba!" (You dare to say it, I will fight with you!)
Liu Bei was stunned again, and turned to look at Sun Qian!
"Gongyou, what did General Cao say?"
Sun Qian was equally confused, but he put on an expression on his face that I understood:
"Uh! He said, thank you for your kindness! Please spread the word more! Make sure everyone knows about it! This kind of spirit is rare now!"
Liu Bei was in awe: "Don't worry! I will definitely do it!"
Cao Bao vomited blood: Pfft...
fainted again...
Sun Gan waved his hand, and several soldiers carried him down.
"Mr. Xuande, he is too excited! His blood is swollen, let's ignore him! I'd better go to the city and let me tell you about the situation in Cao Ying!"
"Okay! Gongyou please!"
……
"Gongyou, what do you mean...Cao Cao has many peerless generals under his command? And a powerful catapult? Can it knock down all the towers?"
hiss…
Everyone gasped, at this moment, Liu Bei and Chen Gong realized the difficulty of the matter!
Sun Gan nodded, looking helpless: "That's right! The day before yesterday, my lieutenant general took a thousand soldiers to Xue County to explore the road, but he almost couldn't come back!"
"The enemy is too fierce. With just one face-to-face, a thousand elites will become dead bodies! The kind with thousands of arrows piercing the heart!"
Chen Gong frowned: "Since Cao Ying is so powerful, why didn't you come and attack your Xiaopei? Logically speaking, it should be easy to take it down! Xiaopei's city is only five meters away, so it's not difficult to attack!"
Sun Gan shook his head and rubbed the space between his brows.
"This is also what I am most puzzled about!"
"Then did you send a spy to check the situation? Could it be that something went wrong inside Cao Ying?"
"I sent it! But... the detail said that Cao Ying eats...training...eating...siesta...eating...square dancing!"
As soon as these words came out, it was Chen Gong and Liu Bei's turn to be confused.
"What the hell? Don't attack when you're full, and dance in the barracks? Could it be... this is a trick to lure the soldiers? You want to think that Cao Ying has relaxed its vigilance, but in fact it is to lure us to attack?"
"No, no! According to what you said, there is no need to lure soldiers with their strength! What is the plan?"
Even with Chen Gong's wisdom, he couldn't figure out what Cao Cao and his gang were doing!
This is taking back Yanzhou's territory, celebrate?Don't plan to fight?
"Forget it! Let's go back and think about it. Let's study how to restrain the catapult first! Otherwise, it's impossible to defend it after being bombarded by those boulders!"
Liu Bei waved his hand, breaking the embarrassing situation.
Chen Gong nodded: "The catapult... I have an idea, I'll try again if it works! Gongyou, buy all Xiaopei's cowhide tonight! I'll be of great use!"
Sun Gan looked at Chen Gong with a puzzled expression.
This Liu Bei's subordinate... is so loud?
Is this the guy who overthrew Yuan Shao's army again and again?And capture Yan Liang alive?
"Sir! Why...why do you need so many cowhide? One is enough!"
Chapter 317 Liu Bei Defends, Xia Houzhe Attacks
That night, Sun Qian was too busy.
He got all the cowhide and animal hides in the city!
Anyway, don't spend his money, don't feel bad!As long as you can hold the catapult!
Looking at the large amount of animal skins, Chen Gong nodded!
"Gongyou, let someone wet these skins! Cover the city wall, so that the stones will not easily explode when they fall! The power will naturally be small!"
"In addition, let people prop up a few big iron frames, and tie all kinds of leather on them to block them! It's somewhat useful."
Chen Gong put his hands behind his back, with an expression of wisdom beads on his face, and looked into the distance with both eyes.
From now on, Xiaopei... will be our place!
"Gongtai, let's go! Let's go to rest! It's still quite cold in autumn at night, so don't catch a cold! It's good that Gongyou is busy here!"
Liu Bei embraced Chen Gong and walked towards the room, while Sun Qian stayed on the city wall cursing.
Horse riding...I deserve to do what I do?I belong to the cow?
Chen Gong looked at Liu Bei's concerned expression with a gentle expression.
"My lord! Wait for Gongtai to help you win Xiaopei, and after we've cultivated and thrived, we can take pictures of Xuzhou slowly!"
"With Xuzhou as the foundation, we can go south and take Jiangdong! There is the Yangtze River as a natural moat, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack! It is also rich in resources, I think it is very good!"
Liu Bei's complexion changed drastically: "Gongtai! Don't mention this again! This Xiaopei was given by Tao Gongzu. How can I, Liu Xuande, be such a white-eyed wolf?"
"Don't mention it again in the future! Let's just take good care of the people!"
Chen Gong laughed out loud, very satisfied with Liu Bei's behavior!
"My lord is really the lord of benevolence and righteousness! But don't worry, I looked at the sky, and the fortune here in Xuzhou has a huge decline! I guessed right, Tao Qian should be sick, but it hasn't been exposed yet!"
"None of his descendants are capable. At that time... Gongtai will have a way to let Tao Qian hand over Xuzhou!"
When Liu Bei heard this, a gleam flashed in his eyes.
……
……
The news that Liu Bei came to Xiaopei was naturally inquired by Cao Cao's Spike.
Now his Spike Agent Team is almost pervasive!
"Everyone, the prey is here! But... this prey is a bit cunning, and uses animal skins to weaken the power of the catapult! Then Chen Gong has something!"
"How can you break his defense?"
Everyone bowed their heads and thought for a while, only Xia Houzhe was snoring with his head drooping weakly.
It is eleven o'clock in the evening, according to the past, he is already being squeezed by two women.
But tonight...he was pulled here by Cao Cao early.
To him, this is nothing more than changing a place to sleep, the difference is not big.
After thinking for a while, Guo Jia, Xi and Zhicai shook their heads slightly.
"My lord, things like cowhide are too tough to break! Even a bow, arrow and catapult are hard to break through! Why don't you just get more stones and keep smashing them?"
"It just weakened its power, it didn't say it could fully withstand the bombing of the catapult! What should fall still has to fall!"
"For fire attack... the wet cowhide used by the opponent seems to be useless!"
Hearing this, Cao Cao frowned.
"I don't think there is a way to solve it. If the opponent has a lot of cowhide and uses it in large quantities, maybe it can really destroy the catapult."
"My lord, why not..."
Guo Jiaxi pointed at Xia Houzhe, and Cao Cao nodded seriously.
Now the three of them... have learned the essence of paddling!
There is a smart guy who doesn't need it, so what do you do with all your brains?When we are stupid?
Cao Cao poked Xia Houzhe, who opened his eyes in a daze.
"What's the matter? Why are you staring at me?"
