In Gaotang City, Yuan Fangzheng calmly prepared for the decisive battle.

In the Qingzhou Army Camp more than ten miles away, Tian Kai and Liu Bei were still waiting for news about the North Bank Plain.

They thought that after seeing through Yuan Fang's tricks today, Yuan Fang had no choice but to choose to protect the plains or to have the only choice to protect Gaotang City.

"Xuande, in your opinion, will that child Yuan Fang go to save Pingyuan City?" Tian Kai asked.

Liu Bei replied without thinking: "Of course he will go to save the plain."

"Why?" Tian Kaiqi said.

Liu Bei stroked his short beard and said slowly: "If Yuan Fang's son gave up on the plain, he would be blocked south of the Yellow River. In the lonely city of Gaotang, he would be unable to escape to death. If he goes to save the plain, he will still have hope of retreating back to the Qinghe River and will not kill himself."

Tian Kai nodded slightly, agreeing deeply.

Liu Bei smiled again and said, "We just need to wait for the opportunity now. Once that kid really sends troops to save the plains, we will launch a large-scale attack and capture Gao Tang in one fell swoop."

As soon as he finished speaking, the scout rushed in and claimed that he had sent back information from the downstream Qiancheng County area. A few days ago, nearly 7,000 Yuan's army crossed the river from there and headed to the north bank.

"What!" Tian Kai was shocked and jumped up.

Liu Bei was also shocked, and his gray face was replaced by surprise.

Tian Kai robbed the general of intelligence, glanced at him with a deep eyebrows for a while, and couldn't help but fall and shouted: "This kid is so cunning. He actually crossed the river from the downstream. He really went to the north bank. Xuande, Xuande, you have fallen into his suspicious plan, and I missed a great opportunity to siege the city."

Tian Kai complained and threw the silk book towards Liu Bei.

Liu Bei, who was full of embarrassment, picked up the information and looked through it for a long time. His face was sometimes red and sometimes black, and he gritted his teeth secretly. His fists were clenched, making it difficult to suppress his shame and annoyance.

Gao Tang is actually an empty city!

Yuan Fang's child actually used a few old men and brooms to easily deceive him, making his army of 20,000 retreat.

When Liu Bei felt ashamed of the scene when he was facing the empty city, he was seriously analyzing and judging Xiang Tian Kai.

"Yuan Fang, how dare you play tricks on me like this--" Liu Bei gritted his teeth in hatred, wishing he could swallow Yuan Fang alive.

After a moment, he suppressed his anger and a trace of disdain rose on his gray face.

"Haha, Yuan Fang's tricks can't be hidden from us after all."

Liu Bei sneered, threw away the information, and said, "Envoy Tian, ​​don't be angry. There is a major general on the north bank. I think it will be difficult for Yuan Fang to break the siege of the plain in a short time. Now, it is proved that Gaotang City is an empty city, we can send troops to attack the city more with confidence. It is not too late to send troops now."

Tian Kai's anger was barely suppressed. He threw the arrow and said sternly: "I'll order the entire army to attack tomorrow morning, and I will push Gaotang City to death, kill all the enemies in the city, and not be allowed to keep a living!"

After successfully calming Tian Kai's anger, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief and sweared in his heart: "Yuan Fang, you humiliated me repeatedly. Do you really think that Liu Bei is easy to mess with? This time, I see if you have any ability to reverse the defeat..."

The next day, 20,000 Qingzhou troops came out in full swing and rushed towards Gaotang City.

In addition to Guan Yu who was left behind, two generals, Zhang Fei and Taishi Ci, followed the army again.

The 20,000 Qingzhou soldiers and generals had already learned that there were not many enemies in Gaotang City, almost like an empty city. They were already full of energy and prepared to enter the city and kill and plunder.

When the first ray of morning glow rose, 20,000 troops were already arranged in the south of Gaotang City.

This time, the enemy city did not open again, nor did the old soldiers play the role of sprinkling water again. The few two thousand Yuan troops seemed to have been defending the city.

Tian Kai glanced at the enemy city and sneered: "The enemy thief is also smart. He knows the same tricks of the worm, so he can't play it again."

Liu Bei beside him also looked proud and bowed: "Bei, congratulations to the envoy Tian in advance, and the great victory in recapturing Gaotang."

Tian Kai laughed three times, and a proud look on his face gradually rose. He raised his whip and pointed slightly at the top of the city, shouting loudly: "The whole army will attack and level the Gaotang for our mansion!"

The governor's order was passed down, and various flags of various colors shaking in the Qingzhou army.

Dongdongdongdongdongdong!

Dozens of cowhide drums were beaten almost at the same time, and the sound of the deafening drums suddenly erupted like thunder.

As soon as the drum passed, 20,000 Qingzhou soldiers were solemn and held the weapons in their hands tightly.

The second drum passed by, and the siege team of five thousand years ago began to carry the ladder and push the siege tools such as siege, and steadily headed towards the southern gate of Gaotang.

More than 15,000 Qingzhou soldiers who were plundering the rear army shouted loudly, and the sound of killing rose like a tide, shaking flags and cheering for the siege of the city.

In the Central Military Office, Tian Kai and Liu Bei looked at their army with such momentum, and a hint of pride could not help but feel a sense of pride in their eyebrows.

There were even fierce lights shot out in Liu Bei's eyes, and he said disdainfully: "Yuan Fang, you take my plains and I rob me of Gao Tang. This time, it was finally my turn to fight back."

The Qingzhou army approached with a rainbow momentum, but the flags at the head of Gaotang City were not intact and there were not many soldiers.

More than a thousand Yuan troops were spread out scattered along the city line. The weakness of the defenders formed a sharp contrast with the strength of Tian Kai's siege army.

Seeing that the enemy was weak, the morale of the Qingzhou army became even stronger, and the shouts of killing almost filled the space between heaven and earth.

In a moment, the five thousand trapped city team was approaching the moat.

Just as the Qingzhou army was about to fill the trenches, the closed southern gate of Gaotang suddenly opened, and the hanging suspension bridge was unexpectedly slowly lowered.

The sudden change in the enemy city caused the Qingzhou army to show a hint of surprise from Tian Kai and Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Taishi Ci, and even the soldiers of the entire army.

At this time, the city gate was wide open and the suspension bridge was put down. Could it be that the little defender wanted to fight back?

If there are less than two thousand soldiers, even if they are killed, they are simply seeking death.

Liu Bei was surprised for a moment, and his expression returned to normal. He snorted coldly: "The enemy's situation knows it is difficult to defend the city. He wants to fight out of the city and fight to the death. It's not worth worrying."

Tian Kai nodded slightly, preparing to send orders to the rear army to prepare and follow up with the enemy troops that were fighting out at any time.

At this moment, with countless people's eyes, something that surprised everyone happened.

The enemy did come out in the open city gate, but it was not like the two thousand dying Yuan army they imagined.

Only one riding out of the city.

Cultivating a green pine-like body, wearing silver armor, riding a white horse, carrying a heavy iron stick, slowly walked from the city and headed straight to the suspension bridge.

The young general who rode out of the city alone turned out to be Yuan Fang.

The young man stood up with a stick and stood in front of the suspension bridge. The five thousand Qingzhou troops on the charge were intimidated by Yuan Fang's power. For a moment, he couldn't help but stop and forgot to shout for killing.

"Yuan Fang's son? Didn't he lead his army to save the plain? Why did he appear here?" Tian Kai blurted out in surprise and looked at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was also shocked and could not explain the strange things that were happening in front of him.

According to the information, Yuan Fang should have led the main force to save the plain, but in just a few days, how could Yuan Fang come?

Could it be that he defeated Gongsun Xu and lifted the siege of the plain in such a short time?

It’s impossible, absolutely impossible. Gongsun Xuke has more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry, how could he easily defeat Yuan Fang!
