"Zichuan, you stay behind to collect supplies, and I, along with Fengxiao, Ziyang, Yunchang, Yide, and Zilong, will lead fifty thousand men to rescue Tao Gongzu. Once you've gathered the supplies, lead Zijian and the others to act as the situation demands. You, Anguo, will act as Zichuan's guard," Liu Bei decided after a brief consideration, resolving to stop Cao Cao's slaughter himself.
Now, Liu Bei could not afford to concern himself with the fact that Tao Qian had not requested his aid. His sole focus was to annihilate Cao Mengde.
"Very well, Lord Xuande can go ahead. I will collect the supplies and, once everything is ready, I too will lead troops to Xuzhou," Chen Xi nodded, confident that with fifty thousand soldiers, along with Guan, Zhang, and Zhao, and strategists like Guo Jia and Liu Ye, they would be no less formidable than Cao Cao's forces.
