"General Cree, the enemy force is huge. We only have 2,000 elite soldiers at most. Even if we fight dozens of them each, we are no match for the Yellow Turban Army.

I think we should make two preparations." Liu Bei said.

Zou Jing thought for a while and nodded. He asked Liu Bei to gather his elite troops and evacuate quickly if things changed. At the same time, he continued to ask the prisoners to remove the ears of the grain harvested today.

It will take a long time to turn it into edible food.

Liu Bei informed the elite troops accompanying him that he would be withdrawing at any time. All the auxiliary troops brought from Zhuoxian County were not informed. There were only more than 200 of them in total, so it was easy for them to gather together and leave.

In order to win people's hearts, Liu Bei gave all the money he earned along the way to all the soldiers, leaving only gold and silver that were easy to carry. At night, the Yellow Turban army stopped attacking the city, but began to harvest food again.

After a tiring day, the three Liu Bei brothers slept together on the same bed. Liu Bei talked for an hour today, but Zhang Fei, who usually asked the most questions, remained silent.

Liu Bei knew what Zhang Fei was worried about. Liu Xin had been trapped for two days. If the general army had been without food for two days, it would be almost dispersed. He comforted Zhang Fei a few words, but Zhang Fei remained silent. Liu Bei saw

At this point tears suddenly flowed down like rain.

"Brother, don't be sad. The war is about winning or losing. Even if Jinan City cannot be defended tomorrow, we will escort eldest brother out of Qingzhou!" Guan Yu hurriedly comforted Liu Bei when he saw him crying.

Zhang Fei saw Liu Bei crying today, and he didn't know why he felt a little resistance in his heart. He didn't want to talk to Liu Bei, but after all, he was his sworn brother.

"Brother, go to sleep! I'm fine." Zhang Fei said and then lay down to sleep. When Liu Bei saw this, he also lay down.

Liu Xin, who was missed by Zhang Fei, actually had a much better life than Zhang Fei. The Yellow Turban Army left last night. When the fire at the entrance of the valley was extinguished today at noon, there were only more than 10,000 Yellow Turban Army left there. By the evening, there were only 5,000 left.

There are many people.

"Lord, although the fire at the entrance of the valley has been extinguished, the stones are still very hot and we can't get through. I just saw the Yellow Turban Army outside the valley collecting hay again. They are going to set fire again and block us here!" Zhou Tailai

Go to Liu Xin and say to him.

"We were careless when we asked them to block the exit last time. We are too incompetent to ask them to set the fire this time. You let one person stand on the top of the mountain, and several generals held bows and arrows in the valley and shot rockets out of the valley.

.

Wherever they piled up the dry firewood, I lit all their firewood to see if his small fire, burning until dawn, could stop our progress." Liu Xin said.

They have 2 first-rate generals, themselves are second-rate generals, and there are nineteen third-rate generals. Each of them has more than third-rate generals. Zou Jing and Liu Bei combined are not as many as him.

So as long as they can get out of the valley entrance, more than ten of them can completely fight a bloody path for the rear army. Today, he has recruited 500 [Qu Chang Fu] from the prisoners of war, a total of more than 2,500 elite combat forces, even if it is only ten

He dares to try even enemies who are twice his own.

"Take those potatoes! Share them with everyone just like yesterday. Tomorrow morning the army will gather and we will fight our way out of the valley. All the prisoners will follow. If they can return to Zhuojun with us, I will accept them." Liu

Xin said.

Liu Xin saw the noisy scenes outside the valley every night in the past few days and guessed that the Yellow Turban Army was rushing to harvest food all night. They focused on harvesting food at night. They should be the most tired at the beginning of the month, so he chose this time

Breaking out of the valley should be the easiest.

In the evening, Liu Xin's family and soldiers ate and went to sleep. The patrols kept observing the movements of the Yellow Turban Army. Several generals took turns to shoot firewood piles outside the valley with rockets, especially Zhou Tai and Wei Qin. They shot where the arrows pointed.

There, firewood was burned all night outside the valley, but the stones were not even heated.

During the harvest time, the vast farmland in the north of Jinan City was full of busy figures. The ears of wheat that had fallen heavily were collected and put into boxes, and then sent by cart to the place where the Yellow Turban Army stored grain. In the valley, Liu Xin took his

The family soldiers and family servants have been waiting quietly in the valley. As soon as the sun comes out, he will lead all the soldiers to charge outside the valley.

"Give this thing to all the soldiers. Each of them only has half a piece. If you eat it, you won't be hungry. You will all work hard for me later!" Liu Xin took out the compressed files that he had stored in the system for more than nine months.

Biscuits, these 25 kilograms are distributed to 2,500 soldiers. Although each person can only receive 10 grams, it is more effective than eating a pound of potatoes, ensuring that they have enough energy in the morning.

Zhou Tai distributed the compressed biscuits to all the soldiers. Many soldiers quickly drank water after eating. After a while, the hunger in their stomachs disappeared, and their whole bodies suddenly felt full of strength.

Liu Xin lowered his head and waited quietly. There seemed to be no sound outside the valley. Last night, the Yellow Turban Army outside the valley saw that it was useless to add firewood to burn stones, so they gave up. Now from the valley, they can only hear the faint noise of harvesting food in the distance.

Voice.

Not to mention that Liu Xin was already preparing to break out of the encirclement, but Zou Jing, Liu Bei and others in Linzi City had already gotten up early. This morning, when they saw the Yellow Turban Army outside the city, they had almost harvested food. Zou Jing was so worried that he did not close his eyes last night.

"Liu Sima, several military commanders! The Yellow Turban army has plundered tens of thousands of acres of grain outside Linzi City, and the food harvested can be at least 100,000 shi. Although this is not much for the more than 100,000 Yellow Turban troops outside the city, they have food.

The rebels will definitely follow you to the death.

We now only have 2,000 soldiers capable of fighting. Facing a Yellow Turban Army that is a hundred times larger than ours, we still have enough food for the Yellow Turban Army. Every day of defense is a torment.

As long as the Yellow Turban Army continues to consume our troops, even if they replace dozens of them with one, we cannot afford to consume them." Zou Jing said with a sad look on his face.

"The Yellow Turbans have food. We can no longer stay in Qingzhou. We must leave as soon as possible." Liu Bei also replied. Since staying means death, it is better to give up as soon as possible.

"Now is the time when the Yellow Turban Army is rushing to harvest food. It should be easiest to break through at this time.

We will wait for daybreak and divide all the prisoners and auxiliary soldiers into teams ranging from 200 to 1,000 to leave the city and attack the Yellow Turban Army's grain collection troops, and then we will leave the city while it is dark." Zou Jing said.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not expect Zou Jing to be so decisive. The two of them were ready to escort Liu Bei to fight his way out at the most dangerous time.

Zou Jing, Liu Bei and some other army commanders and commanders discussed the details of how to withdraw. They needed to select some trustworthy and capable auxiliary soldiers to lead the auxiliary soldiers and attract the attention of the Yellow Turban Army.

While everyone was still discussing the breakout, Zhang Fei suddenly spoke.
