sunset The sun hanging diagonally in the west exudes golden brilliance, shining on the earth and dyeing it golden, exuding the last afterglow of the day.
Outside Dongjun City.
From a distance, you can see a black line appearing, slowly approaching the city.
As time goes by.
The black lines are also becoming clearer and clearer.
It was an army covered in black armor, with black flags fluttering in the wind.
There were countless long spears raised high, and the sharp spear tips shone coldly under the golden light.
There are two generals at the front, riding horses and walking side by side, one holding a sword and the other holding a spear.
This army of soldiers and horses.
It was the 60,000 Han troops led by Huang Zhong and Zhang He who came to attack Dongjun.
This was what they needed to do.
When there was still three miles away from the city.
Huang Zhong and Zhang He at the front also stopped and allowed the soldiers to set up camp on the spot.
They did not continue to approach the city, nor did they attack the city when they arrived.
Because there is no need for that.
Dongjun is going to be recaptured, but there is no need to be so anxious.
The first thing to do is to watch the Qi army in the city and prevent it from having the opportunity to support.
Finally, the matter of taking back Dongjun was considered.
Sixty thousand Han troops were encamped on the road, facing the city in the distance.
It was not far away and could be seen very clearly.
After all, there was an open road in the middle of the two sides, with no cover and an unobstructed view.
Huang Zhong and Zhang He also assigned some spies to go out, and took no other action, quietly waiting for the camp to be established.
Of course, not all the soldiers were allowed to join in setting up the camp.
There were still some soldiers who were on guard and guarding against the Qi army in the city.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
On top of the city wall.
Guan Yu and Xu Shu also came to the city wall and looked at the Han army building a camp in the distance.
Now that Liu Bei has left, only Guan Yu and Xu Shu are in power here.
When the Han army appears, the Qi army officers guarding the city wall immediately notify Guan Yu and Xu Shu.
Moreover, it was impossible to confirm whether the Han army would directly launch an attack, so someone would be needed to direct it.
Guan Yu and Xu Shu came to the city wall.
It was also the first time that he saw the Han army setting up a camp three miles away.
"It's exactly what you guessed Yuan Zhi," Guan Yu squinted his eyes and sighed.
Xu Shu also had a serious expression on his face and nodded.
He was also paying close attention to the situation of the Han army.
He was also worried in his heart.
Guessing was one thing, but the fact was another.
It was obviously guessed that the Han army might divide its forces, but after confirming the matter, the worry in my heart did not diminish, but became even worse.
"This matter must be reported to the lord quickly.
Looking at the Han army in front, there are only tens of thousands of people.
However, the other tens of thousands of Han troops are not here, and there is no flag of the King of Han."
Guan Yu continued.
“Just as it should be” Xu Shu had no objection.
After all, such matters did need to be reported to Liu Bei, so that he could guard against the Han army led by Liu Qi.
Liu Qi did not lead all his troops here, which means that Liu Qi must have led some of his troops to detour to support Jizhou, or to intercept Liu Bei.

Guan Yu did not hesitate, and said to the left and right: "Send people to catch up with the lord quickly, and report to the lord the situation here, as well as the fact that the King of Han may lead troops to support Jizhou."
"promise" There was no hesitation left and right, and he quickly left the city wall.
Wait for Guan Yu to make arrangements.
Xu Shu looked at the Han army camp that was about to be established in the distance and sighed: "No wonder the King of Han led the army to camp outside the city yesterday, but he has been slow to move.
Today, the Lord led the army to leave, and the Han army appeared.
Outside the city, and not all the Han troops in Yanzhou are there."
There was also a helpless expression on his face.
So what if he could guess, he couldn't persuade Liu Bei.
The current situation is unpredictable.
Hear Xu Shu's words.
Guan Yu just shook his head and didn't say anything.
He also understood what Xu Shu meant, but he only understood it, but he couldn't change it.
Unless he sends someone to report to Liu Bei, Liu Bei can change his mind and stop planning for Jizhou, but turn around and come back to defend Dongjun.
Otherwise, everything will become difficult to say.
Of course, it is not impossible to defeat the Han army, it just depends on whose plan is more cautious.
"General, it's getting late now.
The Han army won't attack the city even if it comes.
And judging from the number of the Han army, it's only tens of thousands, which is about the same as our army.
They shouldn't forcefully attack the city.
Let the soldiers strengthen patrols.
That’s fine, but every gate in the city needs to be strengthened.
It’s best to send 500 more soldiers to defend each gate.”
"The streets in front of the city gate also need to be patrolled by soldiers to prevent any accidents, and the people in the city are not allowed to go out at will at night, and a curfew is imposed."
"At the same time, we sent out scouts to find out who the leader of the Han army was and what their specific strength was."
Xu Shu also put forward his own suggestions.
No matter what, he is still a counselor and should make suggestions.
“So good” Guan Yu did not refuse, and in his heart he quite agreed with Xu Shu's ability, but he still asked: "After that" He was still a little worried about the situation in Jizhou.
"This Han army is obviously just preparing to hold back our army, and the leading general is most likely Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng, one of the four generals.
If the enemy doesn't want to fight hard, our army doesn't have to fight hard. , if necessary, you can give up Dongjun."
"Moreover, if there is a chance to defeat this Han army, we will be able to deal with many things," Xu Shu said with a glint in his eyes.
But he still had other thoughts in his heart, but he didn't say them out.
If you just want to hold them back, you only need to send Huang Zhong and lead 30,000 troops to hold them back.
The Han army that appeared outside the city is definitely more than 30,000.
It seems to be less than 100,000, but it is also There are more troops than they have here.
It seems so.
It is not just as simple as trying to hold them back, there is also some plan or plan in it.
But I couldn’t think of it for a while.
Therefore, he did not mention it to Guan Yu, and even if he mentioned it, it would only add to Guan Yu's worries and would not relieve his burden.
Sometimes it is not good to know too much.
"good" Guan Yu didn't have any objections, and now he could only deal with it this way.
As for giving up Dongjun.
He wouldn't say anything.
If it really comes to that time, it's not impossible to give up Dongjun.
The main thing is to see how the war situation in Jizhou develops.
What's more, Cao Cao and Sun Quan haven't made any move yet. immediately.

Guan Yu and Xu Shu did not stay on the city wall.
They arranged for the soldiers to strengthen the vigilance, and then left.
When they returned to the city, they also sent more men to guard the entrance to the city gate
