Pengcheng A city that Liu Qi wanted to capture, but due to the death of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, he withdrew his troops and failed to capture it.
It also belongs to Liu Bei's territory.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China by Liu Bei.
Pengcheng was also guarded by Guan Yu's adopted son Guan Ping and Guan Tanzhi, assisted by Mi Zhu and Mi Zizhong.
There are 40,000 soldiers stationed in the city.
Moreover, Xiapi, not far from Pengcheng, was also garrisoned by 10,000 soldiers, led by Mi Zhu's younger brother Mi Fang and Mi Zifang.
The two places watch each other.
After Liu Bei established the Qi State, he also announced his alliance with Sun Quan.
Although the two only have a verbal alliance, under the threat of Liu Qi, it can be considered a somewhat solid existence.
Unless there is no threat from Liu Qi, or there is a chance to kill with one strike.
Otherwise, the verbal alliance between the two will not easily collapse.
They also know very well that if there is a dispute between them, it will only give Liu Qi the opportunity to annihilate them.
Fighting alone, they didn't have much chance of winning when facing Liu Qi.
They lost more than they won.
Especially Liu Bei, after the previous battle, his muscles and bones were damaged, and he had not fully recovered even after several months of recuperation.
Sun Quan is better off, but he doesn't want to face Liu Qi's army alone.
Temporarily joining forces with Liu Bei is also a good idea.
I also thought about Cao Cao, but with Liu Qi separating them, they could not truly unite, and their union with Cao Cao would not be stable.
After all, Cao Cao's power is now the largest, and joining forces with him is almost like seeking the skin of a tiger. but.
Although Liu Bei and Sun Quan were united, they were still wary of each other to prevent the other party from having any bad ideas.
It can be seen from the troops and horses stationed in Pengcheng and Shouchun that they are not only guarding against Liu Qi's troops, but also guarding against the other side.
Or to see if there is a chance to annihilate the opponent.
In Pengcheng.
Guan Ping also followed his usual habit and inspected the city wall before walking down the city wall and returning to his mansion.
He is also very clear.
Today's Central Plains looks peaceful on the surface, but it is full of undercurrents.
If you neglect it, it may cause big mistakes.
Not only must we guard against the Han army stationed in Qiao County, we must also guard against the Wu army as an ally.
He was attacked in a surprise attack and lost Qiao County before, and he was also disliked by Liu Bei.
If it weren't for his adoptive father Guan Yu, and if Liu Bei didn't have any generals available now, he might not be stationed in Pengcheng now.
Thinking of his adoptive father Guan Yu and Liu Bei, who had changed a lot now, he felt a headache.
But this matter was fleeting in his mind.
After all, some things were beyond his ability to guess.
When Guan Ping returned to his mansion, he took a look at the sky and saw that it was already dark, so he prepared to change out of his armor and go to bed.
However.
Just as he was about to take off his armor.
Tuk, Tuk, Tuk A footstep appeared outside his door, followed by a rapid knock on the door.
"General, something happened" Before Guan Ping could ask anything, a voice sounded from outside the door, and his tone was full of anxiety. squeak No hesitation.
Guan Ping didn't bother to take off his armor.
He quickly walked to the door, opened it and said, "What's the matter?"
"General, please come out of the mansion.
There are soldiers coming from Xiapi," said the soldier outside the door.
"Let's go" Guan Ping didn't hesitate, quickly walked out of the door and headed out of the mansion. soon.
Guan Ping and the soldier who reported the news also came to the gate of the mansion.
I saw.

In front of the gate of the mansion, in addition to the few soldiers guarding the mansion, there was also a soldier who was covered in dust and his armor was stained with blood.
He looked very embarrassed.
When the embarrassed soldier saw Guan Ping coming out, he quickly rushed to Guan Ping, knelt down and said anxiously: "General, quickly lead your troops to rescue Xiapi.
If you are late, it will be too late."
"Get up quickly and tell me carefully what's going on," Guan Ping said.
He also recognized this soldier as a close confidant around Mi Fang, and when he saw the soldier's appearance, he also had bad thoughts in his heart.
"General, the Wu army betrayed their trust and attacked Xiapi.
General Mi led his troops to defend and asked his subordinates to break out and come to report and ask for reinforcements."
The soldier also kept his story short and said quickly.
"How many soldiers and horses does Wu Jun have?
How did Wu Jun come here?
Why didn't our army's detectives receive any news?"
Guan Ping was also a little confused.
He didn't expect such a thing to happen.
The main thing is that their detectives are also monitoring Wu Jun's movements, but they have not received any information that Wu Jun has left Shouchun.
"It is indeed the flag of Wu Jun, and Wu Jun seems to have suddenly appeared around Xiapi.
When night fell, he suddenly launched an attack.
Because his subordinates broke through the encirclement, they did not pay attention to how many soldiers and horses there were, but they noticed They are all over the mountains and plains, and there will never be less than 10,000 people," the soldier said.
Hear the words.
Guan Ping also frowned, and then said to his cronies: "Go quickly, Master Mi."
He also knew that Xiapi could not be lost, otherwise, Pengcheng would be in danger.
What's more, the general stationed at Xiapi is Mi Fang, Mi Zhu's younger brother, and Mi Zhu has also helped him a lot and is an upright person.
No matter what, the matter still needs to be discussed with Mi Zhu.
"promise" Guan Ping's cronies didn't hesitate.
He held his sword in his hand and ran quickly towards a part of the street.
He also knew the urgency of the matter and did not dare to delay.
"You go to my mansion to bandage it first, take a rest, and wait for Master Mi to come before making a decision," Guan Ping said to the soldier.
"promise" Mi Fang's cronies also had no objections.
After all, he is very clear that sending troops for rescue cannot be done just by saying, and there are many things to consider.
And only after deliberation can a decision be made.
It was useless even if he was anxious, he could only pray that he could go faster and that Xiapi could persevere, that's all. immediately.
Guan Ping also brought Mi Fang's cronies into the mansion to settle down.
While waiting for Mi Zhu's arrival.
He also asked his cronies to gather the soldiers and horses and make all preparations.
Once a decision is made, they can set off immediately without having to wait for the soldiers and horses to gather again.
Then too much time would pass.
Guan Ping did not change his armor and was ready to set off at any time.
The time it takes to get into trouble also feels very long.
Guan Ping was also walking back and forth in the hall, waiting for Mi Zhu's arrival.
At the same time, it also relieves the anxiety in my heart
