    The east is white and the sky is misty and bright.

    Xiapi City is like a sleeping girl who has not yet woken up from her dream.

    Zhang Liao looked at the enemy city from a distance and did not see any soldiers gathering on the city wall. This proved that the defenders in the city were not aware of the approach of his surprise attack legion.

    Since the enemy was not aware of it, Zhang Liao was in no hurry to attack and ordered his cavalry to dismount and hide, waiting for a suitable opportunity.

    Liu Bei left Guan Yu with about 25,000 soldiers and horses to guard Qingxu, of which about 17,800 had been transferred to the Huainan front line, and nearly half of them were lost.

    Of the more than 8,000 remaining soldiers and horses, nearly 4,000 were stationed at Pengcheng, the western gateway to Xuzhou, to guard Yan Liang's army on the front line of Xudu.

    Another 3,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in Xiapi City, led by Mi Fang, the governor of Xiapi appointed by Liu Bei. The other 1,000 troops were mostly stationed in Guangling County in the south.

    This means that there are still more than 3,000 soldiers in Xiapi City at this time.

    Furthermore, Xiapi City has been run by Liu Bei for many years and has thick walls. Zhang Liao did not bring any siege equipment. If he wanted to attack by force, he would have to give up the advantage of his cavalry and use ropes to climb the Xiapi City Wall.

    In this case, Zhang Liao lost the suddenness of his attack. Once the enemy was slightly alert and a large number of defenders arrived, his siege would be in vain.

    Therefore, Zhang Liao must keep calm and wait patiently.

    The rooster crows several times, the rising sun rises in the east, and the rising morning glow illuminates the land of Xuzhou, and also dyes the awakening Xiapi City with a layer of golden clouds.

    On the main road, traders and pedestrians traveling from north to south began to gather at the four gates of Xiapi, waiting for the city gate to open.

    Xuzhou has the advantage of fishing and salt, and as the heart of Xuzhou, Xiapi City naturally formed a developed commerce and became a commercial center where merchants from all over the country gathered.

    The time has come. Looking from a distance, I saw the suspension bridge was lowered, the south gate was wide open, and the soldiers guarding the city gate began to check the merchants and pedestrians entering the city.

    Zhang Liao, who had traveled extensively in Xuzhou, was very familiar with Xiapi City. This was the time he had been waiting for.

    The time has come.

    Zhang Liao got on his horse, his eyes flashing with excitement, and his whole body was full of murderous aura.

    Seeing this, the resting cavalry officers knew that the time to attack had arrived. Without Zhang Liao's urging, they got on their horses one after another, all eager to try, and their blood was surging.

    He waved his sword and shouted: "Brothers, Xiapi City is right in front of you. Follow me and rush into the city to seize the Xuzhou Army's lair¡ª"

    Amidst the roar, Zhang Liao rushed down the hillside with his horse and sword.

    Behind him, a thousand cavalry roared, using the force of a dive to rush toward the open South Gate of Xuzhou.

    This place was only a few miles away from the South Gate of Xiapi. Zhang Liao and his cavalry charged with all their strength and reached the South Gate of Xiapi in the blink of an eye.

    The merchants and pedestrians who were waiting in line to enter the city were the first to notice that something was wrong. When they saw a large group of cavalry coming from behind, they were so frightened that they fled towards the city gate without thinking.

    At this time, the defenders at the city gate were also frightened by the dust in the sky. They saw the cavalry rushing towards them from nowhere. They were frightened and wanted to close the city gate.

    However, the city gate was blocked by merchants and passers-by who were swarming in. Frightened people rushed to escape, and the soldiers were unable to close the city gate in time.

    And in this moment of delay, Zhang Liao's cavalry arrived fiercely.

    The cavalry rolled, mercilessly knocking over the fleeing merchants. Zhang Liao took the lead and crossed the suspension bridge, using his long sword and bow left and right to kill all those who stood in the way.

    The cavalry made a bloody path and went straight into the city gate. How could the dozens of frightened soldiers block the protruding cavalry? They were all killed in the blink of an eye.

    Zhang Liao led a thousand cavalry and rushed in unimpeded from the south gate of Xiapi. They rushed into the city like a torrent bursting through a dike.

    When the south gate fell, in the prefect's mansion located in the north of the city, the prefect Mi Fang had just risen.

    Although after Liu Bei got Xuzhou, in order to get help from the local powerful, he once married Chen Deng's sister, and he was somewhat neglected by the Mi family.

    Mrs. Mi fell into the hands of Yan Liang, and Mrs. Chen gave birth to a son for Liu Bei a year ago. As a result, the influence of the Chen family in the Liu Bei Group increased dramatically.

    But Chen Deng¡¯s death caused the Chen family to lose its backbone, and the Chen family¡¯s influence was also greatly reduced.

    It seems that in order to avoid the dominance of the Chen family in Xuzhou, Liu Bei once again paid attention to the Mi family after Chen Deng died of illness.

      Now after Liu Bei captured Yecheng, he had moved his administrative seat to Yecheng. Mi Zhu, the head of the Mi family, was also appointed by Liu Bei to govern Jizhou and also served as the order of Yecheng, which can be said to be very important.

    Mi Fang was appointed by Liu Bei as the prefect of Xiapi, and became the governor of the county under the prefecture of Xuzhou. His power and status are not unimportant.

    Being served by a group of wives and concubines, Mi Fang yawned and got up. In the main hall, a sumptuous breakfast was prepared. This "simple" breakfast alone was worth thousands of dollars.

    The Mi family was originally a wealthy man in Xuzhou, and now Mi Fang is a high-ranking official worth two thousand dan. His brother Mi Zhu has a higher status. As the second son of the Mi family, he naturally lives a luxurious life.

    Now that Guan Yu is not in Xuzhou, no one dares to look at Mi Fang anymore. Mi Fang wants to be unscrupulous and enjoy life to the fullest.

    Mi Fang only took a few bites of Nuo Da Yi's sumptuous meal, then waved her hand and said, "Pour it out, it's all old style, how can you have any appetite after eating it?"

    The servants hurriedly put away the food and wine, while Mi Fang picked at the meat between her teeth and began to deal with official duties.

    "My lord, this is General Guan's order. I order you to raise another 50,000 hu of grain and grass to be transported to the Shouchun front line. It must arrive within seven days." The subordinate officer handed over the silk-written order.

    Mi Fang glanced at it for a few times, frowned, and murmured and complained: "I have to raise food again, I have to raise food for the Lord, and I have to raise food for you. Do you think I have three heads and six arms?"

    Mi Fang was annoyed and threw Guan Yu's warrant on the case, as if she planned to turn a blind eye.

    "My lord, I know General Guan's temper very well. Not only did the rations have to be delivered on time, but there were just a few stones missing, General Guan became furious. I'm afraid"

    The subordinate officer carefully reminded Mi Fang.

    Mi Fang shuddered, feeling fear in her heart. She gritted her teeth and had to pick up the silk book again. She was cursing and thinking about how to raise food.

    While she was thinking hard, the sound of hurried footsteps interrupted Mi Fang's thoughts.

    "My lord, something bad has happened. Yan Jun's cavalry has entered the city -" A small colonel rushed towards the general and shouted in horror.

    "That's nonsense. Yan Jun has wings. How could he cross Huainan and fight his way to Xiapi City? Don't talk nonsense." Mi Fang rolled her eyes at the small school commander and didn't believe it at all.

    The principal shouted anxiously: "Sir, how dare you talk nonsense? Yan Jun has really come in and is heading towards the county government."

    Mi Fang became alert and listened carefully. Sure enough, she heard faint shouts of killing outside the mansion, and even the sound of rumbling iron hooves heading towards the county mansion.

    Mi Fang's heart was shaken, and she suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation. She didn't care much, so she put on her armor and rushed out of the house in a panic.

    At this time, the streets and alleys were in chaos, and the defeated soldiers were seen escaping from the other end of the street. They were all in extreme panic.

    Looking at the street leading to the south gate, the cold light is flowing and the crowds are surging. Sure enough, there are groups of cavalry, rolling over here.

    At the very front, the enemy general was unstoppable, wielding a long sword and cutting off heads wantonly. In the blink of an eye, he was only twenty steps away from the gate of the mansion.

    Mi Fang now saw clearly. Not only did he see clearly that the enemy's armor was indeed that of Yan Jun, but he was also horrified to recognize that the unstoppable enemy general who was charging forward was Zhang Liao.

    "How is this possible? How could Zhang Liao travel across thousands of miles of Huainan and rush into my Xiapi as if entering an uninhabited land? No city even issued an alarm in advance. How is this possible"

    Mi Fang was infinitely frightened. He thought about it, but he never imagined that Yan Jun did not pass through Huainan at all, but went directly to Xuzhou by sea.

    When he was frightened, Zhang Liao had killed more than ten people in a row, and they were more than ten steps away.

    The Xuzhou garrison, which hurriedly met the enemy, retreated like a flock of defeated cavalry in the face of Yan Jun's most elite cavalry, unable to stop them.

    When Lu Bu was still alive, Mi Fang followed Liu Bei and was repeatedly defeated by Lu Bu's cavalry. At that time, Mi Fang had a deep understanding of Zhang Liao's bravery.

    Many years had passed since then, and the old enemy appeared in front of him like a divine soldier descending from the sky. Mi Fang was instantly frightened to the point of being driven out of his wits.

    Seeing that the situation was not good and Xiapi City was no longer able to be defended, Mi Fang did not dare to confront Zhang Liao at all, so she led the remaining soldiers to flee towards the north gate.

    During the fierce battle, Zhang Liao looked up and saw Mi Fang trying to escape. He shouted loudly and the sword in his hand suddenly became stronger.

    Layers of sword shadows swept out in all directions, cutting into pieces all the Xuzhou troops that were blocking him. Zhang Liao followed Mi Fang with his horse flying, chasing Mi Fang like the wind.Within a few steps, Zhang Liao was chasing behind Mi Fang.

    Mi Fang, who was frightened, did not think much and just instinctively shot back to stop Zhang Liao.

    Zhang Liao was as cold as frost. Amidst the low roar, the sword in his hand rolled out like lightning.

    Bright light splashes.

    ??The cold light passed by, and a bloody human head flew up into the air.

    With just one move, Zhang Liao killed Mi Fang, the governor of Xiapi.

    Zhang Liao, who killed the enemy with one move, became even more majestic. When the remaining Xuzhou defenders saw the prefect being killed, their fighting spirit collapsed in an instant, and they abandoned their helmets and armor and fled in all directions.

    At noon, at the top of Xiapi City, the flag of the Yan Family Army was flying high at the top of the city.

    Until this moment, the Xuzhou people in the city could not believe that their home, which they thought was far away from the war, was actually occupied by Yan Liang, who was thousands of miles away.

    Mi Fang was beheaded, and the Xuzhou army surrendered and fled. The remnants of the army who were lucky enough to escape with their lives urgently sent people on flying horses to Huainan to report the shocking news to their General Guan.

    Zhang Liao, covered in blood, stood at the top of Xiapi City with his sword in hand, looking down at the familiar city in front of him.

    "After so many years, I never thought that I, Zhang Liao, would be able to return to Xiapi City again. This fate is really interesting"

    While sighing, Zhang Liao turned to look south and said with a cold smile: "Yun Chang, you will receive this great gift from me soon. I'm waiting for you." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature  , the novel is better and updated faster!)
