When Liu Qi led the army to the front of Xuzhou City, there was no movement yet. squeak The wide city gate that was originally closed made a sound.
This was a sign that the city gate was about to open, otherwise the closed city gate would not have made any noise.
Hear the sound of the city gate.
A light flashed in Liu Qi's eyes, and he held the spear in his right hand and raised it. brush Behind them, Zhao Yun and others, as well as a group of Han soldiers, also took action at the same time, taking a defensive posture and ready to launch an attack at any time.
After all, they didn't know the intentions of the Qi army defenders left behind in Xuzhou City.
It looked like a gap had been opened, and the city gate had light coming out of it.
Liu Qi's eyes also flashed with doubts, and he also didn't understand what the Qi army defenders in Xuzhou City wanted to do.
However, he gathered his troops and came over just to know what options the abandoned Xuzhou City defenders had.
Although he also wanted to capture Xuzhou City in one battle, after a night of fighting, his soldiers were already tired, and he originally planned to see the reaction of the garrison in Xuzhou City first.
After that, the soldiers were asked to set up camp on the spot.
While besieging Xuzhou City, they took a rest first and finally planned the attack on Xuzhou City.
But I didn't expect that Xuzhou City would suddenly open the city gate.
Is it war, surrender or something else?
Until it is confirmed, it is just an unknown.
But if it comes to fighting, he has nothing to fear.
After all, if Xuzhou City opens the city gate, even if the soldiers under his command are tired, there will be no difficulty in taking down the Xuzhou City garrison that comes out of the city to fight.
As for how.
Then we have to see the behavior of the garrison.
Be prepared.
Liu Qi and others were also keeping an eye on the city gate that was about to open, ready to launch attacks and resist attacks at any time.
Two heavy city gates.
Driven by the garrison in the city, it slowly opened to the left and right sides with a squeaking and harsh sound, gradually widening from a gap. from time to time The city gate is also mostly open.
Liu Qi and others who were directly in front of the city gate could also see the situation in the city gate passage.
I saw that in the city gate passage, apart from the Qi Army generals who were still pushing the city gate, there was a Qi Army general in the center of the passage, wearing a battle armor and a brown war horse on his hip.
However.
The strange thing is that this Qi army general did not hold a weapon.
Behind him were densely packed soldiers in green clothes and black armor.
Just like the Qi army general in front, they were not holding weapons, not even flags.
They were all empty-handed.
Such a situation.
Liu Qi and others were stunned for a moment, and then they came to their senses, with thoughtful eyes in their eyes.
Under the leadership of the generals of the Qi army, the soldiers of the Qi army in the city gate passage took steps towards the half-opened city gate, preparing to leave the city and meet Liu Qi and others.
Seeing Qi Jun's actions.
Liu Qi's eyes flashed, but he didn't make any movement.
He watched Qi Jun's behavior quietly.
He could vaguely guess the reason for Qi Jun's behavior.
Otherwise, instead of watching quietly now, he would lead the entire army to charge and forcibly capture Xuzhou City.
After all, Xuzhou City, with its city gates opened, could not withstand the cavalry of his army at all, and could easily capture Xuzhou City.
Now that Qi's army has retreated, the garrison of Xuzhou City can still resist for a while relying on the city walls.
Open the city gates , that is just giving up Xuzhou City.
The garrison in Xuzhou City had no intention of launching a battle.
Then he didn't need to make any changes.
He was very satisfied with being able to capture Xuzhou City without spending a single soldier or a bloody blow.
This way.
He won't think about causing trouble, lest something unexpected happens and a big battle is needed to end it.

For him.
The best thing is to be able to capture Xuzhou City at the lowest cost. soon.
The Qi Army general took the Qi Army soldiers in the city to the outside of the city and stopped thirty meters away from the Han army.
The general of the Qi army glanced at Liu Qi and others at the front of the Han army, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes.
Then he turned over and dismounted, knelt down and said: "Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong, the former governor of Xuzhou in the Qi Kingdom, led 25,000 soldiers under his command, opened the city gate, and greeted the Han Emperor.
He was willing to surrender to the Han Emperor and devote himself to the Han Emperor's hegemony until his death. , I hope the Han Emperor can take him in."
After saying that, he lowered his head and bowed down. brush The Qi army officers and soldiers behind him also knelt down in unison.
The chief general of the Qi army who stayed in Xuzhou City was Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong, who served as the prefect of Xuzhou.
When Liu Bei led his army to arrive and set up camp outside Xuzhou City to fight against the Han army, he did not leave the city and live in the Qi army's camp, but was ordered to stay in the city.
He continued to garrison in Xuzhou City.
A battle last night.
He could see very clearly from the top of the city wall.
It could be said that from the beginning to the end when the Han army invaded the camp to when the Qi army retreated and was hunted down, everything was very clear.
However, Xuzhou City was behind the Qi army's camp.
Even if he wanted to support him, he could not get around to the back of the Han army.
What's more, a part of the Han army, after setting fire around the Qi army's camp, was wandering outside the city, making it impossible for him to support him even if he wanted to.
Once the city gate is opened.
He could guarantee that the Han army wandering outside would intercept them.
Perhaps the city had been captured by the Han army last night.
In the end, the garrison in the Qi army's camp was defeated.
He also did not dare to open the city to welcome Liu Bei and others into the city, and the defeated soldiers did not flee towards the city.
In such a situation, everyone knew that even if he opened the city gate, he would not escape.
After all, the Han army chasing behind would also take the opportunity to invade the city.
In this case, it is better to flee, the chance of escape will be greater.
Chen Deng knew in his heart that Liu Bei would be defeated and Xuzhou would fall into the hands of Liu Qi, and it would be useless for him to hold on to Xuzhou City.
He would be isolated and helpless and would be captured by the Han army sooner or later.
Of course, if the Han army was chasing the defeated Qi army last night.
He was also able to lead his troops to evacuate, retreat to Qingzhou, and join Liu Bei, and he was able to keep everything safe, but he was unwilling to give up his foundation in his heart.
The Chen family has been in Xuzhou City for a long time, so they can't just give up.
The most important thing.
That's Liu Bei's problem.
Not to mention Liu Bei's character, and the different people's hearts under his command.
Now that he is defeated here and retreats to Qingzhou, it is not easy to resist the pace of the Han army.
It can be said that Liu Bei's defeat at the hands of Liu Qi is an unchangeable fact.
And he was not loyal to Liu Bei.
When the situation was over, he chose to surrender to Liu Qi.
This was his choice, and he thought about his choice all night.
Can't fight, can't retreat.
