The sky was gloomy, and Cao Cao's army had been besieging Xia Pi for two months, and everyone's face was full of fatigue.

"Bah" A soldier spit out the filthy soil in his mouth and said dissatisfied with the person next to him, "Is this still a person living? I haven't had a good rest for two months."

The person next to "Gudu Gudu" took a sip of water and wiped it casually, "There is no way, who made us face the famous Lu Bu all over the world, alas."

"I hope this battle will end soon. I haven't been home to meet my family for a long time, but I don't know if I still have a life to go back."

Gao Shun was standing on the city tower and looking into the distance, thinking in his heart: "Since he followed his lord out of the pass, he would have to defeat the attack and defeat the battle, and he had almost no place to live. Thanks to the help of Chen Gong's military advisor, he captured most of Yanzhou, and was taken back by Cao Cao in a blink of an eye. Later, he took advantage of the opportunity to get Xuzhou, but Cao Cao and Liu Bei fought back, leaving only Pi City. Among the original eight powerful generals, Hao Meng, Cheng Lian and Cao Xing died in battle; Zang Ba was blocked in Qingzhou and was forced to gather the remaining Yellow Turban troops to make trouble on Mount Tai, leaving only Zhang Liao, Wei Xu, Song Xian and Hou Cheng. Now he is trapped in the city, and the food is getting exhausted day by day. What should I do?"

"General, we are surrounded, we are finished." The soldier was dressed in rags, covered in blood, and his wounds were still covered in blood. At this time, there was an indescribable sadness on his face. "If the lord had not handed over General, your camp, your camp, to Lord Wei Xu, we would not.... Lord Wei Xu only knows how to be greedy for wine and never practice, and the camp has no previous fighting spirit. Not to mention this, Wei Xu also bribed Zhang Miao by Wei Xu. Now everyone has not even complete equipment. It is either lacking this or lacking that. He is just jealous of our equipment, and he has sowed discord in front of the lord. The lord is really, trusting relatives so much and not listening to the general's advice at all. If he had listened to your loyal advice from the general, he would not have gone to a dead end now."

"You can't slander the lord like this. The soldier's responsibility is to obey orders. Even if you die in battle, you must not complain at all." Gao Shun yelled at the soldiers with a dark face.

"General, do you know? Xiao Zhang always said a few days ago that he had never touched a woman, so he asked me, the brother, to find one for him, but... Xiao Zhang... He was shot to death by the enemy's sharp arrow under my nose yesterday... Before he died, he said, Brother, I'm so sleepy, I'll stop. When the battle is over, you must find a woman for me." The soldier's face was full of sadness. "I remember that we were brothers in the camp, and we fought on the battlefield, and every attack was broken. Unexpectedly..."

Gao Shun patted the soldier's shoulder, "It's not the time to be sad, everyone must hold on." The soldier looked at General Gao Shun sadly. He had never seen any expression on General Gao Shun's face, and he never took it to heart no matter what happened. Even if his honest words were not heard by the lord, even if some traitors around him framed him everywhere, he did not show any expression. He always obeyed everything and never complained to anyone. He was the example of a soldier, but at this time he cried like a child.

A man walked towards this side, and the armor on his body made a "slam, slam" sound. Gao Shun looked back at "Wen Yuan!" with tears on his face and looked at "Wen Yuan!" with a calm and powerful voice, as if he had never cried before, "Wen Yuan, what's the situation in Dongcheng?"

"Liu Bei and his two charity brothers set up camp ten miles outside the East City, guarding each day with strict precautions and not going to fight." Zhang Liao's face was not visible at all.

"Zhang Liao is a good general, and he is both wise and brave in war. In the future..." Thinking of this, Gao Shun's face became serious and turned around to look out of the city. "Liu Bei was a merchant, and all actions were based on interests. He had limited troops and horses, so he naturally did not want to fight with us. He was waiting, and when we and Cao thieves both suffered losses, he could benefit from it. What was the situation at the South Gate and the North Gate?"

"The south gate is Cao Ren as the main general, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Yu Jin as the deputy; the north gate is Xiahou Dun as the main general, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, and Le Jin as the deputy." Zhang Liao looked at Gao Shun's face

Gao Shun hurriedly turned around and asked, "So, is Ximen guarded by Cao Cao himself?"

"This was the case a few days ago. Later, Cao Cao retreated to the back camp, and the front camp was guarded by Lu Qian." Zhang Liao pondered for a moment and said, "I think there must be a conspiracy inside."

"Hmm? What does this mean?" Gao Shun was puzzled.

At this time, Wei Xu and Song Xian ran over and said, "General Gao, Cao's army from the two cities in the north and south have retreated."

"Retreat!" Gao Shun said incredibly, "It's been more than two months of siege and it's about to succeed. Why retreat?"

"Liu Bei's army rose up and joined Cao Cao." Hou Cheng hurriedly reported

Song Xian smiled and said, "It must be that Cao's thief had all his food and retreated, let's fight out."

Gao Shun hurriedly stopped him, "Don't act rashly! I will make a decision when I report to my lord and military advisor."

At this time, a dull sound of "rumbling" came from the sky in the distance. Gao Shun looked up at the sky and thought: "Although the weather is a little gloomy, it is not raining yet, so how could there be thunder?" He suddenly saw a white light surging in the west. Gao Shun's heart twitched a few times, and quickly turned around and shouted: "I'm informing everyone to hide from the high place, Cao Zhe has let the water flood the city."

The city suddenly became chaotic, shouting and crying.

In the blink of an eye, the flood had already flowed down, and the Xia Pi city wall, which had been overwhelmed, was immediately washed out of several gaps. Many soldiers and people who had no time to hide were swallowed by the torrent in a blink of an eye.

Fortunately, Gao Shun and other generals had already moved to a safe area in advance because they discovered it early. Gao Shun stood on the roof and watched the flood rage in the city. He was indignant in his heart, "The thief Cao was completely destined to flood the city. There were only a few soldiers and generals, so there were not many left, but the people in the city were innocent."

Zhang Liao saw Gao Shun clenching his fists and his lips trembled slightly, and knew what he was thinking in his heart. "The battlefield is ruthless, either you die or I live. We should turn grief into strength and avenge the dead brothers."

On the third day, the flood finally receded, and everyone was repairing fortifications. Most of the people spontaneously helped the soldiers carry soil and stones. Because they knew that once the city was broken, the murderous demon king Cao Cao would order the city to be slaughtered. A few years ago, in the battle of Xuzhou, Cao Cao would slaughter every city, causing Xuzhou's population to be slashed and all industries to wither. Now that this guy has made a comeback, the people are not sure how much they will suffer.

Gao Shun patrolled the city as usual, and heard a soldier in charge of looking at him shouting: "Cao Army! Cao Army is here again!" Everyone lay on the city wall and looked out. The 10,000 infantry soldiers of the Cao army lined up in a square formation and walked forward. The soldiers in the front row held large shields, and the soldiers in the back row held long spears. There were several rushing cars behind, and behind were Cao Cao's elite cavalry.

"Finally come." Gao Shun could not see any expression on his face at this time.

"Is it that Cao's thief is here?" Gao Shun turned around and saw that it was the lord who was here. Although the lord had a messy hair and a haggard face, his eyes were still bright and bright, and the Fang Tian Painted Ridge in his hand was still extremely sharp.

"Lord, Cao Cao's army is full of elite troops. It seems that he will not give up until he breaks Xia Pi." There is no sign of Gao Shun's panic at all.

Lu Bu suddenly said, "Gao Shun, how many years have you been with me?"

"It's been nearly ten years, and it's my blessing to be under the lord's account." Gao Shun looked determined with a strong face

"Bu Hui shouldn't have refused to listen to your advice at the beginning. I'm too confident." Lu Bu said leisurely, "Do you regret following me? If you follow others, you will be famous all over the world. Otherwise, after defeat, will you surrender to Cao Cao? If it wasn't for my incompetence, with your talent, you will be famous all over the world in the future. Although you had hurt another relative Xiahou Dun, Cao Cao is now thirsty for talent and will definitely not bear past grudges."

"Why did the lord say this? Do you still don't believe me? I can die in front of you now," Gao Shun said in surprise.

"I don't mean that, listen to me..." Lu Bu thought for a moment. "Cao Cao, I will fight you Juei. My Lu Wenhou's painting halberd is not a vegetarian. Gao Shun, you go to guard the East City, Zhang Liao guard the South City, Hou Cheng guard the North City, Wei Xu, Song Xian helps me guard the West City, I'm here to see how Cao Cao defeated my Xia Pi."

"Subordinate obeys the order." Gao Shun never felt comfortable in his heart, and he thought to himself, "My lord still believes in me."

The sun was at its peak, and he didn't know how many attacks from Cao's army were repelling. Gao Shun only knew how to fight to prevent Cao's army from attacking the city wall, but his troops were fewer and he became more and more tired.

At this time, Cao's army below shouted: "The city is broken! The city is broken!" Gao Shun's heart trembled. When he looked back, he saw Liu Bei with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei standing not far away from him.

Liu Bei bowed forward and said softly, "General Gao, Lu Bu's energy has been exhausted, why not join another wise leader? The general is invincible and has a hundred 'camps' under his command that are scattered around the world, and no one can defeat him. If he can help me, the world is really worth worrying."

"Loyal ministers do not serve the second masters. They have come to this point. If you die, you can kill me quickly." Gao Shun's heart has never been relaxed.

Liu Bei sighed, "How lucky is Lu Bu, I have obtained this capable minister." Zhang Fei then ordered Gao Shun to tie up. "Cao Cao has occupied Xia Pi, and he is suspicious. If I don't hand you over to him for treatment, I'm afraid I'm sorry."
