Time passed quickly.
Liu Bei had just promised Tao Qian to attack Xiaopei, and the news spread in Xiapi City and Xuzhou the next day.
This made Liu Bei very embarrassed.
At midnight the next day, he took his two men, Guan and Zhang, and nearly 3,000 soldiers and hurried towards Xiaopei City.
On the north post road, a cavalry team was rushing on its way, making a sound that shook the mountains and rivers.
"Zifu, why do you think we are rushing back to Xiaopei in such a hurry?"
In the dark night, Xiahou Dun and Bai Ren rode horses, with two thousand cavalry behind them, walking through the dark night.
Xiahou Dun looked a little anxious.
He looked at Bai Ren and asked.
Bai Ren just received a letter, which was sent by Li Dian of Xiaopei City.
Bai Ren gave the letter to Cao Ren without saying a word, and immediately left Juancheng with Xiahou Dun and two thousand cavalry, so that Now Xiahou Dun still doesn’t understand the situation clearly.
"A letter from Xiaopei and news from Xuzhou.
Tao Qian sent Liu Bei to attack Xiaopei City.
Now there are only two people in Xiaopei City, Li Dian and Zang Ba, and three thousand infantry.
I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on, so we must step up our efforts tonight.
March and rush back to Xiaopei City."
Bai Ren listened to Xiahou Dun's nagging in his ear and replied to Xiahou Dun with a serious face.
"But, Zifu, Juancheng now only has nearly 5,000 infantry, and Lu Bu also has 2,000 cavalry, as well as the infantry army provided by the Yanzhou gentry.
Can Zixiao hold it?"
Xiahou Dun on the side listened to Bai Ren's words, and instantly You understand what's going on, but Xiahou Dun is still concerned about the safety of Juancheng.
After all, once Juancheng is lost, there will no longer be an inch of land in Yanzhou that belongs to Cao Cao.
Bai Ren looked at Xiahou Dun's worried look, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
This guy is still worried about Cao Ren.
Cao Ren is much stronger than you.
He can be said to be Cao Cao's number one defensive general.
Juancheng is not only strong, but also With Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, two counselors who are no weaker than Chen Gong, and five thousand elite soldiers, plus Cao Ren, a defensive general, it may be difficult for Lu Bu to crack this tough nut.
"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about Zixiao.
I believe he can do it.
Let's hurry up.
Xiaopei is no less important than Juancheng."
Bai Ren turned his head and looked at Xiahoudun, who had been staring at him, and patted him.
He replied to Xiahou Dun with his own chest, and then sped up and headed south.
On the other side, on the post road from Xiapi to Xiaopei City, Liu Bei took Zhang Fei and Guan Yu and drove slowly.
Liu Bei raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky, with a slight smile on his face, and then shouted in a very serious tone: "stop" At Liu Bei's order, the troops behind Liu Bei stopped advancing.
"Set up camp and let the whole army rest for one night.
We will start our journey again tomorrow."
Liu Bei looked at the stopped troops behind him and said to them calmly, then he turned over and dismounted.
"Princess Princess" After Liu Bei dismounted, he rode up from behind.
With his red and distinctive face, others could recognize his identity at a glance.
"Yun Chang, what's wrong?"
Liu Bei held the horse, stopped, looked at Guan Yu who came to him, and asked Guan Yu calmly.
Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei's calm expression with a hint of surprise, and then hurriedly asked Liu Bei: "My lord, now that we have suddenly stopped, I'm afraid there is something wrong.
As the saying goes, soldiers are valuable and quick."
After hearing Guan Yu's words, Liu Bei laughed softly, then shook his hand at Guan Yu, and then said to Guan Yu somewhat plainly: "Yun Chang, can't you see that this is Tao Qian's plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"
After Guan Yu heard Liu Bei's words, he suddenly became nervous, frowned, shook his head at Liu Bei and asked: "My lord, what do you mean by this?"

"Tao Qian deliberately spread the news.
The people in Xiapi City knew about me sending troops yesterday.
This forced me to send troops to leave Xiapi today.
Now I am afraid that Cao Jun in Xiaopei also knows the news.
They must have done a good job.
Be on guard Qian is not willing to lend me troops, so just relying on the three thousand troops in my hand to attack Xiaopei City, what is the difference between this and risking death?"
Liu Bei touched his beard, said to Guan Yu with a bitter look, and then raised his head helplessly He raised his head and looked at the starry sky.
Guan Yu fell silent after listening to Liu Bei's words.
He turned his head and looked at Zhang Fei who was arranging the soldiers to rest in the distance.
He showed a helpless smile and finally asked Liu Bei, who was speechless and speechless: "My lord, what are your plans?"
After listening to Guan Yu's words, Liu Bei squatted on the ground quietly, and then scribbled on the ground with his hands.
Finally, he stood up from the ground helplessly and said in a low voice to Guan Yu: "Now we are really in a dilemma.
If we attack Xiaopei , I am afraid that the soldiers who have followed me for so long will sleep under Xiaopei City.
If we retreat, I am afraid that Liu Bei's reputation will be ruined.
I plan to pretend to be defeated and retreat.
If I retreat to Xiapi like this, I am afraid that Tao Qian will It’s hard to say anything.”
After listening to Liu Bei's words, Guan Yu felt that it might be inappropriate for Liu Bei to do this, but now he was forced by the situation and could only use this method, so Guan Yu had no choice but to nod to Liu Bei and express his agreement with the method proposed by Liu Bei.
At noon on the second day, Liu Bei's army had arrived at Xiaopei City.
Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu beside him, and then at Zhang Fei who was eager to try.
Liu Bei said to Zhang Fei with a serious face: "Yide" When Zhang Fei heard Liu Bei calling him, he turned his head and asked Liu Bei with a smile on his face: "Master, what's wrong?"
"Wait a minute, when I say retreat, Yi De, you can't be too eager to fight, just retreat."
Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei's appearance, gave a helpless smile, and said seriously to Zhang Fei.
"This" Zhang Fei was at a loss after hearing Liu Bei's words and didn't know how to answer.
Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei and Zhang Fei on the side, touched his long beard on his chest, and said to the somewhat reluctant Zhang Fei: "Yide, just listen to my lord."
Zhang Fei saw Guan Yu and Liu Bei both saying this, and had no choice but to reluctantly nod to Liu Bei.
"Who are the troops below?
Hurry up and tell me your name."
On the top of the city, Li Dian looked at the troops below with a calm face, and scolded the people below the city in a somewhat stern tone.
"Soldiers on the top of the city, I wonder if General Bai Ren is here?
I want to talk to him."
Liu Bei looked at the general on the top of the city and found that it was not Bai Ren, so he shouted to the top of the city in a kind tone.
Li Dian at the top of the city looked at Liu Bei strangely, and finally asked someone to call Bai Ren who was resting after a night.
Bai Ren slowly climbed up to the top of the city and looked at the army below with a slightly surprised look on his face.
Liu Bei came to attack Xiaopei City, and he only brought this few men with him.
Didn't he come to die?
"There is Bai Zifu on the top of the city."
Liu Bei raised his head, looked at some familiar figures on the top of the city, and shouted to Bai Ren on the top of the city in a gentle tone.
Bai Ren looked at Liu Bei's kind face in front of the army, raised his hands and said to Liu Bei at the bottom of the city: "Xuan De Gong, I haven't seen you for many days, why do you have time to come to Xiaopei City today to have a look?"
"Haha, Zifu is still so humorous.
I came to Xiapi today and was forced to do nothing.
Today, I have to ask Zifu to show mercy because of the past friendship."
Liu Bei looked at Bai Ren who was smiling on the top of the city. , stroking the beard under his chin, and said to Bai Ren on the top of the city with a bitter smile.
After hearing Liu Bei's words, Bai Ren rolled his eyes slightly, then rubbed his smooth chin with his hand.
Suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he understood what Liu Bei meant, and then he said to Liu Bei with a hint of smile: "Xuan De Sir, you don’t have to say anything, I will never show mercy.”
After hearing Bai Ren's words, Liu Bei was slightly stunned, and then with a wry smile on his face, he didn't know what to say.

"Mancheng, you go and take two thousand soldiers out of the city, just have some fun."
Bai Ren turned his head and said with a smile to Li Dian beside him.
"Ah, General Bai," Li Dian heard Bai Ren's words, blinked his eyes, looked at Bai Ren in disbelief, and asked Bai Ren hesitantly.
"Just do it when I tell you to do it.
Listen to me.
You're right."
Bai Ren looked at Li Dian's doubtful look and said in a very confident tone
