After Huang Zhong and Zhang He led 60,000 soldiers to camp outside Dongjun City.
They didn't take any drastic actions, nor did they directly attack Dongjun City.
They just went to the city from time to time to call for battle, as if they had no intention of taking back Dongjun City.
And in the city.
Guan Yu did not go out of the city to attack the Han army's camp just because the troops were about the same strength.
He also knew very well that even if the troops and horses were about the same, he would not have the possibility of complete victory.
Moreover, if he went out to attack the Han army's camp, there was a possibility that the Han army would seize the opportunity and break the city.
But under the shouts of Huang Zhong and Zhang He.
He also went out of the city to fight, and fought with Huang Zhong alone, no matter who was superior or inferior.
The two parties seemed to be in peace with each other and lived very peacefully.
It just depends on which party can't calm down first. and.
The attention of both sides is not here, but Jizhou, which is where everything is decided and will also affect the situation of their side.
Huang Zhong and Zhang He were not sure that they could use 60,000 troops to forcibly capture Dongjun, which had 50,000 defenders.
Moreover, their main purpose was not to take back Dongjun by force.
And Guan Yu was not sure of defeating Huang Zhong and Zhang He.
All we can do is wait.
But he said.
Liu Bei, Shen Pei, and Xu Huang led more than 100,000 Qi troops toward the land of Jizhou, but they did not go to Nanpi.
They joined forces with the army led by Zhang Fei to capture Nanpi.
Instead, they are preparing to take over the empty territory of Jizhou.
However.
Just after leaving the territory of Dongjun, I received bad news.
Late afternoon.
They camped at the border of Dongjun and waited for tomorrow morning to continue marching to Jizhou.
In the main account.
Liu Bei, Shen Pei, and Xu Huang were discussing where to start in Jizhou first.
"My lord, my subordinates think that we can pass through Puyang.
Now Wei Yan is leading the Han army in Jizhou to fight against General Zhang in Nanpi.
The only soldiers and horses in Jizhou are the defenders, and there are only three thousand defenders in Puyang. " "After capturing Puyang, we can take the Dao Neihuang and Yangping areas, and then take a detour to Guangping and Guangzong, and then we can directly capture Xindu.
By quickly capturing these places, we can cut off Wei Yan's retreat.
Finally, from Xindu marched directly to Nanpi, and joined forces with General Zhang to attack the Han army led by Wei Yan, and captured Nanpi in one fell swoop."
"In this way, most of Jizhou will fall into the hands of the lord.
Once Nanpi is captured and the troops are united, we can take Yecheng and other places and capture the entire Jizhou area."
Shenpei pointed at the map with his finger and talked hurriedly, his face full of confidence.
Originally, the place he most wanted to seize while Jizhou's troops were empty was Yecheng, but he also knew that the 50,000 troops led by Ma Chao had already stayed in Yecheng, and they were obviously prepared.
So we can only retreat.
First, they captured most of Jizhou, and finally they tried to seize Yecheng.
Hear the words.
Liu Bei also nodded and said: "In this case, we will act according to Zhengnan's words, capture Puyang first, and then make plans."
In his mind, winning Yecheng was his first goal.
After all, the Zhen family in Yecheng was a wealthy businessman, and now with the support of Liu Qi, they were even richer.
If the Zhen family's property could be collected, there would be more things that could be done.
However, he also knew that with Ma Chao leading 50,000 soldiers and horses guarding Yecheng, it would not be easy to capture Yecheng, and he might be dragged back to Yecheng.
Then the gain outweighs the loss.
However.

When Liu Bei still wanted to say something.
A soldier walked in from outside the camp.
"Report, Ma Chao of Yecheng, leading fifty thousand soldiers and horses, left Yecheng and marched in the direction of Puyang," the soldier said on his knees.
Hear the words.
Liu Bei, Shen Pei, and Xu Huang also showed surprised expressions.
They all thought that Ma Chao should be guarding Yecheng, and Ma Chao did stay in Yecheng for two days, and it was obvious that he had the intention of guarding Yecheng.
But now he led his troops to leave Yecheng and march to Puyang.
Such behavior is to intercept their army in Puyang.
But this way.
Yecheng will also become empty of troops, and they can also take a detour to capture Yecheng and give up capturing Puyang.
Several people looked at each other, some of them didn't know what Ma Chao wanted to do.
"This, this" Shen Pei didn't know what to say.
He couldn't figure out what was missing there, and it was impossible for Ma Chao not to know that even if he led an army to intercept their army in Puyang, it would not have any effect.
After all, they could take a detour and go straight to Yecheng.
This strategy was used by Liu Qi when he attacked Yuan Shao.
Because of this, he captured Jizhou and Yuan Shao committed suicide in Xindu.
Just when Liu Bei and others had not finished digesting this information.
Another soldier walked in.
"Report, General Guan sent me to report.
Now there are tens of thousands of Han troops in Dongjun camped three miles outside the city.
However, the Han army has not seen the main flag of the Han Dynasty, and there are less than 110,000 soldiers and horses.
General Guan Mr.
He Xu guessed that the King of Han has led a part of the Han army to come to the lord, hoping that the lord will be vigilant."
The soldiers knelt down and worshiped.
This soldier was also sent by Guan Yu.
After all, the Han army in Yanzhou was tens of thousands less, and Liu Qi was not here.
It was obvious that the troops had been divided into two groups.
After listening to the report of the soldiers.
Liu Bei and Shen Pei also panicked.
Based on the reports from the soldiers sent by Guan Yu, they all knew why Ma Chao, who originally stopped in Yecheng, continued to march towards Puyang with 50,000 soldiers.
There was also panic in Shen Pei's eyes.
As a result, the strategy he proposed was of no use.
After all, the premise of all this was that Liu Qi would lead an army to recapture Dongjun first.
But now Liu Qi had no such plan.
He just asked people to lead tens of thousands of troops to hold back the soldiers and horses of Dongjun, and then personally led an army to intercept them.
The plan he proposed was cracked in one fell swoop.
There is an army of 50,000 led by Ma Chao, plus an army of tens of thousands led by Liu Qi.
It is simply impossible for them to quickly seize the land of Jizhou, and they are still attacking from the front and back, so they have no choice but to refuse to fight.
It can be said that the only miscalculation was that Liu Qi would take back Dongjun first.
"What does Zhengnan think it should be now?"
Liu Bei looked at the judge and said.
The tone of voice also changed, and the cold light in his eyes flashed, fleeting.
Obviously, it is no longer the Han army that is in trouble now, but them, who are in a dilemma.
Shen Pei's mind was also running rapidly.
He also felt Liu Bei's attitude and was a little panicked.

He had facilitated this plan.
If he really failed, he would not have a good ending.
Soon, I also thought of it.
He opened his mouth and said: "Master, actually there is no need to worry too much."
Liu Bei also looked at Shen Pei quietly, wanting to hear how Shen Pei could resolve the current situation.
"My lord, although the unexpected behavior of the King of Han caught us a little unprepared, my lord, please don't forget that there are also the King of Wei and the King of Wu."
"Since we cannot quickly seize the land of Jizhou, our army can also start a duel with the Han army in Puyang.
In this way, we can delay the Han army, and in this way, the kings of Wei and Wu will also take action."
"Our army has held back the Han King's warworthy troops.
The King of Wei and the King of Wu will not miss this opportunity.
Once they send out their troops, the crisis for our army will be relieved
