So for the people of Xiangyang City, they thought it was very simple, and they said they didn’t need much.

They don’t care who occupied Xiangyang. First, as long as they can end the war for so many months as soon as possible. Second, it is naturally possible to allow everyone to live and work in peace and prosperity, and it will be beneficial to the people. That’s fine. As long as these two things can be achieved, the people of Xiangyang will definitely support you.

No matter what power you are from aristocratic families, or the Sun and Liu coalition forces, Yanzhou army and Liangzhou army, all of them are included. As long as you can do the two things that the people think, the people of Xiangyang will definitely return to their hearts. No matter who you are, as long as they can have a good meal and don’t have to be trapped in the current war all day long, they will be grateful to you.

And these are the ideas of the people in Xiangyang City. It can be said that if you ask them what they hate the most now, they will definitely say that it must be war. Yes, if there are a few people who don’t want peace, there are a few people who always want to fight, so their ideas are actually not difficult to understand.

-----------------------------------------------------

After arriving outside Xiangyang City, Sun Ce and Liu Bei looked at Xiangyang City, which was not too far away, and both of them felt quite emotional.

How to say, for Sun Ce, this time it was a match against Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army. Although it was united with Liu Bei, it did not affect anything and did not mean anything. Instead, it was a match against the Yanzhou Army. This was a belated battle.

Why do I say that? It is because after Cao Mengde seized Xiangyang, Sun Ce originally believed that Cao Cao might have rushed directly to the southeast and directly to Jiangxia. After all, Jiangxia is also very important to him, Cao Mengde Yanzhou Army, but Cao Cao left a move that surprised everyone in the world, that is, go straight west and go to Fangling, Hanzhong!

When Sun Ce learned the news, it can be said that he was both glad and regretful. Fortunately, his side would not have encountered Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army too early. And the regret is still the same, so Sun Ce is quite contradictory about this. But now, he can finally face Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army. Such a powerful army. Of course, he cannot miss it.

-----------------------------------------------------

But if it is only his Jiangdong Army, his side may have a hard time siegeing the city. But now isn’t Sun and Liu’s coalition? Isn’t there Liu Bei’s side? Besides, Xiangyang will be occupied by him in the end, but his side will not occupy this city, so how can he and Liu Bei’s side not work?

So Sun Ce was certainly not afraid of this, after all, he knew it. Liu Bei knew in his heart that if he wanted to break Xiangyang and seize the city, the only way for both sides to work together, no one should be foolish, and unite as one, he could defeat the Yanzhou army in the end. Otherwise, with the strong strength of the Yanzhou army, to be honest, although it is worse than the Liangzhou army, they are still very strong. Can you underestimate it?

This is what Sun Ce thought at this time. As for Liu Bei, he certainly thought more than Sun Ce, but in the final analysis, it was just a sentence that he said in his heart that I must take Xiangyang and occupy Xiangyang. Xiangyang can only fall into the hands of our army, but not others. Especially Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army, Xiangyang cannot fall into the hands of the Yanzhou army!

-----------------------------------------------------

The so-called "The Han and the thieves are incompatible, and the king's work is not in a good position." When Liu Bei thought of the various festivals with Cao Cao, he felt a great sense of fighting in his heart.

To be honest, even Liu Bei himself had to admit that when he met Cao Cao, he was the target of being hunted down by others. But now, he can also lead a large army to besiege his Yanzhou army's city. If you want to talk about this, you really have never been there before. If there is someone, he will be surrounded by him. When did he have surrounded him?

But now, looking at it, the two sides have exchanged. It was our side that surrounded the Yanzhou army, not them. Hahaha, Liu Bei laughed in his heart. He said in his heart, Cao Mengde, you wouldn't have thought that you would actually have today.

Now I, Liu Xuande, is no longer the same as before. Not only are there many soldiers and a wide range of generals, but I can also compete with your Yanzhou army. What's more, there are Sun Ce and Sun Bofu and his Jiangdong army to help him, so do you think you can still win?

-----------------------------------------------------

Liu Bei made a secret decision in his heart that this time was the time to avenge his previous shame, and he still didn't believe it. Now that he is so strong, and with the Jiangdong Army, can't he still win over Xiangyang, which is guarded by thousands of Yanzhou Army?

Yes, I also admitted that Xiangyang City itself is a high city and a strong wall, but even so, it does not mean that our side cannot take over the city. At least I am still a little confident in this. Especially Cao Cao has left Xiangyang, so can't his side win?

Thinking of this, Liu Bei looked at Xiangyang City, his eyes were shining. Just as he was not looking at a city at this time, but a beauty who had stripped naked. However, Liu Bei was not such a lustful person, so he was not too flawed.

The coalition soldiers set up camps, while Sun Ce and Liu Bei had their own thoughts and returned to their own camps. Even though they were already coalition forces, the camps of both sides were next to each other, but they were not stationed together, and they were stationed on their own. After all, they were called coalition forces, but it did not mean that everything must be together, and this was impossible.

-----------------------------------------------------

Compared to Sun Ce and Liu Bei, the leader of Xiangyang City is much more worried.

Cao Cao led his troops south to Wuling, and there were only 5,000 soldiers in Yanzhou soldiers who were left in Xiangyang, and Man Boning, who was highly valued by Cao Cao, was responsible for defending Xiangyang.

It can be said that Man Chong is definitely a man with both civil and military skills. His mind is no worse than a strategist. As for martial arts, although he is not very good, he will do it twice. As long as his commander is not low, Cao Cao handed over Xiangyang to him. So Man Chong is not just a master who can be a lobbyist, but people in the world have never seen him guard the city, but this time he can understand something.

If you say that because Man Chong is a good lobbyist and you look down on him, then you will be the one who will suffer in the end. After all, the most basic thing is that since Cao Cao can let him defend the city, if he doesn't have some skills, how can he lead troops to defend? So I have to think about it carefully.

-----------------------------------------------------

But at this time, Man Chong was worried.

To be honest, although I had learned from Tanma long ago that Sun Ce and Liu Bei led the Sun and Liu coalition forces to the northwest from Jiangxia and headed straight to Xiangyang. But when they really saw that the Sun and Liu coalition forces were already outside Xiangyang City, the visual impact still shocked him. After all, there were more than 100,000 people, which was not more than 100,000 dishes. But even the dishes sold were quite shocking, after all, it was "more than 10,000 people, boundless. If you have more than 100,000 people, you will be able to penetrate the earth and the sky."

The pressure, the deep pressure, the war has not started yet, but when Man Chong at the head of Xiangyang City saw the soldiers of the Sun Liu coalition who were still camping at this time, he felt invisible pressure. Indeed, even if there were people like Man Chong, he still couldn't get rid of these, and of course he would still feel pressure. After all, the instructions of his lord, the trust of his colleagues, and the soldiers made him think that he could do his best to defend the city. But when he saw the Sun Liu coalition with so many people, he felt deeply pressured, which was very great.

Man Chong smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that it was really bitter. Sun Ce and Liu Bei actually gave up on Jiangxia Qichun and brought troops here directly. This was something that even his lord and the others had not expected.

-----------------------------------------------------

But at this time, what else can Man Chong say? He is already at the gate of the city. Even if he is worried or feels stressed, he has to be under pressure.

Since the Sun-Liu coalition forces are about to fight, then there is nothing more to say, "If you want to fight, I will fight."

Looking at the camp of the Sun and Liu coalition forces, Man Chong said to the Yanzhou soldiers at the top of the city, "Dear brothers, monitor the enemy's movements extremely closely. If you have any movement, I know what happens!"

"promise!"

The soldiers of Yanzhou soldiers at the top of the city said in unison. Man Chong nodded, and then continued, "Defense is extremely strict, don't give the enemy an opportunity!"

"promise!"

Although he was facing the Sun and Liu coalition forces of more than 100,000, he looked at the shouting of the Yanzhou army at the head of Xiangyang City, and Man Chong suddenly had great confidence in his side. In his opinion, this was the right thing to do. He was never afraid of the Sun and Liu coalition forces, and his soldiers, of course, he should not be afraid of them.
