"I will take good care of Sister Qiao, husband, you must be extremely careful on the road!"

Zhou Ping knew that it would be more dangerous for him to break out of the city this time, and he might die.

But he did not explain those things to Gan Qian. He was fighting with Liu Bei and taking risks almost every day. In that case, there was no need to explain anything special.

Zhou Ping was still sleeping after dawn, but Gan Qian did not wake him up or let others disturb him.

Zhou Ping woke up leisurely after sleeping until nearly noon.

After washing, I went out and saw that Zhang Wu was already guarding the door with a bow and arrow on his back.

"Ziwei, if you don't sleep a little longer, we won't be able to sleep tonight."

Zhang Wu replied: "I have had enough sleep, so you don't have to worry about me."

"Let's eat first, and then follow me to see the lord."

When they arrived at the Prefectural Mufu, Zhou Ping knew that Yan Liang had not brought troops to call for battle today, but Liu Bei still returned the head that Gan Ning had brought back to them.

"Sir, General Yan Liang has piled the walls higher and added a few more weights to the antlers."

Zhou Ping laughed and said, "Haha, if he had sent more people to guard outside the camp, he wouldn't have had to go to such trouble."

"However, after these two nights of attacking the camp, there is no guarantee that he will not send people to guard outside the camp tonight. If Mr. goes out of the city, they may find out early." Liu Bei was a little worried.

Zhou Ping didn't think so: "Don't be afraid if they find out. They will probably set up an ambush inside the camp. As for outside the camp, except for the sentries, there should be no one else."

"Yes, how could Yan Liang expect that we would leave the city?"

Liu Bei and Zhou Ping discussed some details of leaving the city and carefully planned out the strategy for leaving the city at night. If the breakout failed, how to retreat, who should take over, etc.

But in Cao Cao's camp outside the west city, Guo Jia had a worried look on his face.

"Ming Gong, I always feel that something is not right!"

"Is there anything wrong?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.

"Why did Liu Bei send troops to attack the camp for two consecutive nights?"

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he looked at Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was also looking at him, waiting for his explanation.

"The soldiers they sent to attack the camp were only about a hundred people. The first time they could show off their power, but the second time was completely unnecessary. Did they know that General Yan did not put up any defenses? Or were they testing the strength of General Yan's defenses in the camp?

?”

Cao Cao still said nothing and listened quietly.

Guo Jia continued: "Could it be that... Liu Bei wanted to send people out of the city, so he deliberately tested General Yan's defenses. They wanted to leave the city from the east."

Cao Cao nodded slightly: "It's possible, but... if Liu Bei sends people out of the city, he can just go out on the first night. Why would he want to attack the camp?"

"Liu Bei doesn't know how General Yan's defense is going? He wants to find out what's true first, so he first sends people to attack the camp to see how General Yan's troops react," Guo Jia replied.

"What about last night? Liu Bei has already detected General Yan's defense situation. Wouldn't it be nice to leave the city last night?"

"Last night Liu Bei must have thought that General Yan had strengthened his defenses, so he tested again. Jia thought that Liu Bei would probably send someone out of the city tonight to ask for reinforcements."

Cao Cao asked: "If you just send someone to deliver a message to ask for help, you can send someone to leave at any time, so why do you do this?"

"Ming Gong, is it Zhou Wen'an who wants to leave the city?"

Guo Jia suddenly showed his face and seemed to have figured out something.

"Zhou Wen'an? Where can he go to ask for help? Jingzhou?" Cao Cao felt a little incredible.

"Yecheng."

"Yecheng?!" Cao Cao was quite surprised. He thought for a while and nodded, "You mean Zhou Wen'an wants to go to Yecheng to persuade Yuan Benchu ​​to withdraw his troops?"

Guo Jiawei said happily: "That's right. Now the only one who can save Xiapi is General Yuan. If Jizhou's soldiers and horses retreat, Yanzhou's soldiers and horses alone may not be able to break Xiapi City."

"But how can Zhou Wen'an persuade Ben Chu to withdraw his troops?"

Cao Cao seemed to be talking to himself. He couldn't think of any reason why Zhou Ping could persuade Yuan Shao.

"Ming Gong, Zhou Wen'an is quite resourceful. If he really goes to Yecheng, he must have a countermeasure in mind. You must be on guard!"

"Well, General Yan was attacked once, and he was attacked again the next day. Using troops like this... Haha, let someone tell General Ju and ask him to talk to General Yan. We must take extra precautions and don't let anyone break through.

He ran out of the city."

Cao Cao was both angry and happy when he thought of Yan Liang like this.

Fortunately, Yuan Shao has such a well-used general, which will be more beneficial to him in the future.

But he couldn't give orders to Yan Liang directly, he could only ask Yan Liang to strengthen his defenses through Jushu.

"Also, if Zhou Ping really goes to Yecheng, the Langya Road is full of Qingzhou soldiers and horses at this time. They will not detour from Qingzhou and must go through Yanzhou. Ming Gong, you can let Yanzhou soldiers and horses set up an ambush on the road, even if

They break out of the city and can be captured as soon as they arrive."

"Hahaha... Fengxiao is thoughtful, as he should be."

Cao Cao immediately sent people back to Yanzhou and asked Cheng Yu to send a team of soldiers and horses to ambush and guard on the only way to Yecheng. If Zhou Ping was seen, they could immediately capture or kill him directly.

Jushou heard about Cao Cao's proposal and thought it was strange that Liu Bei attacked the camp twice. He felt that it was probably just as Cao Cao said, Liu Bei wanted to send Zhou Wen'an out of the city.

So someone went to tell Yan Liang and asked him to send more troops to be on guard against the enemy's third attack on the camp, especially to guard the passage out of the city to prevent the people in the city from escaping.

However, as soon as the soldier who came to inform him finished speaking, he was kicked away by Yan Liang.

"This general knows how to set up defenses. What can I fear from just one or two hundred people? If they want to come, I will let them come. When the city is broken, I will let them pay back ten times as many people as they kill me. Leave the city? If they want

They have already left the city, so why wait until today? In my opinion, they want to attack the camp with a large number of troops. The order is given that no one in the three camps should sleep tonight, and they should keep their armor on and stand by in their tents. Especially the North Camp,

We must hold weapons in hand and hide in the darkness of the camp. As soon as the enemy soldiers come, we can kill them all!"

"General, do you want to set up sentries outside the camp?" a captain next to him asked cautiously.

"No, if sentries are set up, will the enemy soldiers still enter our camp? If they don't enter the camp, how can our ambush soldiers kill the enemy?"
