Chapter 49: : The unguarded Xiapi City

Chapter 49: The Unguarded Xiapi City
The next day, in the meeting hall of Xiapi City, a group of generals had been summoned here. Zhang Liao, Gaoshun, Lu Lingqi, and several important generals of the Lu Bu army, including Lu Bu, were all present. Mu Lin was naturally among them. .
In fact, when he returned to Xiapi City, Mu Lin felt something was wrong, and the entire process was banned and personnel were forbidden to enter and exit. Anyone with a discerning eye knew something was wrong with Xiapi City.
"Mulin, do you know why Xiapi City is forbidden to enter and leave the city?"
Above the first place, Lu Bu asked Mu Lin with a serious face.
"It should be related to Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others," Mu Lin tried to say.
In the battle of Xiaopeicheng, Cao Cao and Liu Bei suffered a big loss in his own hands. The total strength of one hundred thousand troops was almost wiped out. This was still without the capture of Lu Bu.
The two armies of Rao, Cao and Liu are strong, and they are somewhat unbearable for such losses.
An army of 100,000 is not a small number. If Lv Bu's army is annihilated with the loss of so many troops, then Liu Bei and Cao Cao can still accept it.
But the problem is that with such heavy casualties, Lu Bu escaped, and even the important generals in Lu Bu's army did not die. How could Cao Cao and Liu Bei accept such a result?
Among the three forces of Tao, Cao and Liu, the one who hated Lu Bujun the most was Cao Cao.
Cao Cao suffered the most losses among the three forces.
The sixty thousand army led by Xiahouyuan and Xiahou Dun were all annihilated outside the city of Xiahou. The chief generals Xiahouyuan and Xiahou Dun both died and fled. In this battle alone, Cao Cao’s loss was immeasurable, let alone the next Xiaopei In the first battle, Cao Cao's army suffered even greater losses.
Therefore, the person who hates Mu Lin and Lu Bu's army the most is Cao Cao.
Now that the hatred between Lu Bujun and Cao Caojun has reached an insoluble level, it is possible that Liu Beijun and Lu Bujun will turn into a jade silk.
But Cao Caojun is absolutely impossible!
Today’s Tao Qianjun in Xiaopei City has returned to Cao Cao, and the distance between Xiaopei City and Xiapi City is not too far. Cao Cao can use Xiaopei City as a fulcrum to continuously send troops and supplies to Xiaopei City. Attack Xiao Peicheng.
"You are right, it is indeed related to Cao Cao and Liu Bei."
Approvingly glanced at Mu Lin, Lü Bu did not continue to speak, but motioned to Chen Gong beside him to explain to Mu Lin.
"Now our army has received information. After the last Xiaopei battle, Liu Bei and Cao Cao did not give up. Instead, they used Xiaopei City as a temporary headquarters to continuously send troops and supplies to Xiaopei. The coalition forces of Liu Bei and Cao Cao in the city will launch an offensive against Xiapi again soon, and maybe even the two armies are already on their way."
Standing up, Chen Gong slightly explained to everyone.
"It seems that Liu Bei and Cao Cao are determined to destroy us. With such a huge loss, not only did they not converge at all, but once again assembled their forces and prepared to launch an attack on Xiapi City" nodded, from the beginning, Mu Lin knew that Liu Bei and Cao Cao couldn't give up, and they would definitely attack Lu Bu's army.
But what Mu Lin didn't expect was that Liu and Cao's two armies moved so quickly. After Xiao Peicheng's first battle, it has only been less than a week, right?
Less than a week after the defeat, the troops again assembled to prepare for an attack on Xiapi City. From here, the determination of Cao Cao and Liu Bei's two armies can be vaguely seen.
They were cruel, and even if they paid a hefty price, they had to get rid of Lu Bujun from Xuzhou!
After receiving Mu Lin's words, Chen Gong continued: "Our Lv Bujun's background is far less than that of Liu and Cao's two armies. Cao Cao claims to have 500,000 soldiers. Although the previous losses are not small for Cao Cao, they still cannot affect Cao Cao. Although the foundation of Cao Cao's army is not as good as Cao Cao's army, Liu Bei, headquartered in Jiangling, also has 200,000 elite soldiers, which is far above our Lu Bu army."
"Neither armies of the two armies can be matched by our current Lv Bu army. In the next attack, Liu and Cao's two armies will send at least 80,000 troops to advance towards Picheng. After the Battle of Xiaopei City, our Lv Bu army also suffered a huge loss. With our current strength of less than 20,000 in Xiapi City, it is almost impossible to defend Xiapi City.

Lv Bujun was able to defeat Liu and Cao's two armies in the first two times, and there was some luck in it.
Cao Cao is strong and has lost nearly 100,000 troops, but he still has 400,000 troops to use, and Lu Bujun, totaling less than 50,000 troops, has lost more than 30,000 troops after the First World War in Xiaopei City. In Xiapi City, there are only less than 20,000 soldiers, how can it resist the menacing Liu Bei and Cao Cao coalition forces?
You know, in the last battle, Lu Bujun still had 10,000 "black armored heavy cavalry" from Mu Lin, and those 10,000 black armored heavy cavalry were almost completely destroyed in the battle of Xiaopei. How could ordinary soldiers in the city of Xiapi with less than 20,000 men be able to stop Liu and Cao's two armies from over 80,000 troops?
The seriousness of the matter caused Zhang Liao and others who were present to be silent.
Judging from the current situation, Xiapi City cannot be defended. The only way is to evacuate. However, the only city occupied by the Lu Bu Army is Xia Pi City. If it is lost, the Lu Bu Army will become a wandering army. , It is difficult to make a comeback! Very difficult!
Even the city has been lost. How many people will join Lu Bu's army in this troubled world?
"Everyone, I wonder if you have a way to help Xiapicheng through this difficult situation?"
Speaking of this, Chen Gong also fell silent.
As a military division of Lv Bu's army, he has no good way to deal with the next crisis.
The silent conference hall fell silent again...
"Let me tell you, this time Xiapi City wants to defend. With our Lv Bu Army's current strength of less than 20,000, there is no chance. We can only ask for reinforcements."
Mu Lin's words were concise and clear.
"We haven't thought about this, but who is willing to help us? Today, our Lü Bu Army is isolated and helpless. There are no allies at all. Not only do we have no allies, but there are many enemies around. In this case, who is willing to help us?" Chen Gong frowned and asked.
"There is no willingness or not, only can, as long as there is an interest relationship, then the other party will definitely help us, Liu Bei and Cao Cao, are they also enemies? But in order to take Xuzhou, the two were not united? According to me I know that the previous Liu Beijun and Cao Caojun had a lot of contradictions and hatred," Mu Lin smiled slightly.
