"Yes, is that Gongsun Du a fool, even if he wants to send troops, he should choose to send troops when we fight to the death with the pottery thief, not now. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhang Fei scolded in a rough voice.

Even Zhang Fei saw the pros and cons, how could Liu Bei not see it, and immediately looked at Zhuge Liang blankly.

Zhuge Liao shook his feather fan and said: "I heard that under the command of the pottery thief, there is a lobbyist named Zhang Yi, who has the best eloquence, and it must be this person who said that Gongsun Du was moved and sent troops at this time." ”

Zhang Yi's name sounded in the tent of King Yan, which made Liu Bei Junchen shocked and disgusted.

Liu Bei took a few deep breaths, gradually calmed down, and said in a deep voice with a brow: "I heard that Zhang Yi had lobbied Liu Biao back then, but I didn't expect this person to be so good. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Fei was the first to shout: "King, if we leave, won't the Jin Kingdom be finished?" ”

"Not necessarily." Zhuge Liang smiled faintly, "Yi Demo should be too worried, although Gongsun Du is ambitious, but there are no good generals under his command, I believe that the king will lead the main force back to the division, and he will be driven back to Liaodong in less than a month, Yuan Shang has Cao Cao's help, it is expected that it should be no problem to hold out for a month, and then our army will re-enter the state, and we can continue to confront the pottery thief." ”

A few words dispelled Zhang Fei's doubts and Liu Bei's concerns, and at the moment he nodded again and again, and then ordered the whole army to pull out the camp.

As soon as his order was handed down, Chen Zhi hurriedly entered, and arched his hand: "Your lord, something is wrong, my southern scout has sent back information that the Qin army camp has been empty, and Cao Cao has withdrawn his troops two days ago. ”

"What!" Liu Bei's face changed drastically, and he jumped up, "This king had to withdraw his troops because he wanted to save Youzhou, why did Cao Cao withdraw his troops for no reason, did he want to ignore the overall situation?" ”

Chen Zhi said with a bitter face: "According to the scout's interrogation of the left Qin soldiers, it seems that it was because Liu Zhang attacked Hanzhong in Shuzhong, Yangping Pass was in crisis, and Xiahou Yuan asked Cao Cao for help, so Cao Cao had to withdraw his troops to save Hanzhong. ”

Liu Zhang attacked Hanzhong!?

This astonishing news once again made Liu Bei Junchen in an uproar and unexpected.

Obviously, Liu Beiwan didn't expect that at this critical moment when they were confronting the potter, the flanks of the Qin State and his own Yan State would have a battle situation almost at the same time, and it was too coincidental to rush at this time, it was simply that God was helping the potter.

"Even if Liu Zhang wants to attack Hanzhong, it shouldn't be this time, how can he be the same as that Gongsun Du, all of them are stupid." Zhang Fei scolded.

Liu Bei's body shook slightly, and suddenly he thought of something, and looked at Zhuge Liang anxiously, "Military advisor, could it be that pottery thief again......"

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect ......"

Zhuge Liang, who frowned deeply, sighed several times, and said: "Liu Zhang's troops in Hanzhong, it is clear that the pottery thief sent a lobbyist to move, no wonder since this month, the pottery thief has not moved, it turns out that he has been waiting for Gongsun Du and Liu Zhang to send troops, what makes Liang strange is that in addition to Zhang Yi, the pottery thief actually has a top lobbyist, and it is really ...... to be able to say that Liu Zhang sent troops to attack Hanzhong at this time."

Zhuge Liang, who is strategizing and expecting things like a god, finally felt a little helpless at this moment.

"This pottery thief, how many strange people and strange people does he hide, are those people stupid, why would he be willing to be the disciple of the pottery thief, why are they ......" Liu Bei hit the desk with his fist, and his gray face was filled with deep confusion and annoyance.

"King, then what should we do, Cao Cao has already withdrawn, if we also withdraw, won't that kid Yuan Shang be dead." Zhang Fei said anxiously.

Liu Bei was silent, Baba's eyes looked at Zhuge Liang, and at this time, he could only see Zhuge Liang help him make up his mind.

Zhuge Liang pondered for a long time, and between his eyebrows, a little bitterness passed, and he said silently: "As soon as the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, my Dayan lips will die and my teeth will be cold, but the current danger of Youzhou is the urgent need, and now, I can only save Youzhou first." ”

The monarchs and ministers of the Yan Kingdom all looked gloomy, sighing one by one, and the word unwilling was written on everyone's faces.

After being silent for a long time, Liu Bei sighed and flicked his hand helplessly, "The military advisor is right, first solve the urgent need, pass it on now, and the whole army will return to the east." ”

When Liu Bei's order was passed down, the Yan soldiers were all shaken, and when they heard that their hometown was in danger, they all panicked, and they hurriedly packed up their bags and prepared to pull out of the camp.

Night.

Liu Bei was busy cleaning up in the tent, and his soldiers entered and reported that Sima Yi was outside asking to see him.

Liu Bei knew what Sima Yi was doing, hesitated for a moment, but still waved his hand and said, "Let him come in." ”

After a while, the curtain was lifted, Sima Yi entered with a solemn face, and said hurriedly: "King, Cao Cao has withdrawn his troops, if the king also withdraws his troops, wouldn't he abandon my Jin Kingdom in a desperate situation!" If the Jin Kingdom is lost, and the Yan Kingdom is not guaranteed, please think twice about the king. ”

"Zhongda, why does this king want to abandon the Jin Kingdom." Liu Bei sighed with a bitter face: "But the pottery thief is too traitorous, he first said that he moved Liu Zhang to attack Hanzhong, forced Cao Cao to retreat, and now he induces Gongsun Du to attack my Dayan, and now the Liaodong Iron Cavalry has been killed to Youbeiping, if the king does not save in time, let alone save you Jin Kingdom, I am afraid that even the Yan Kingdom of this king will fall, the difficulties of this king, Zhongda You should be able to understand it." ”

Sima Yi's words were full of words, and he pressed back Liu Bei's words, and he was speechless for a while.

With his knowledge, in fact, it is also very clear that Cao Cao and Liu Bei's retreat were all under the strategy of the pottery merchants, and they had to withdraw their troops.

"Pottery thief, pottery thief......" Sima Yi was silent, with deep hatred in his eyes, and he could only grit his teeth at the potter silently in his heart.

After being silent for a long time, Liu Bei saw that Sima Yi's emotions had calmed down, so he got up and stepped forward, held Sima Yi's hand tightly, and said with an affectionate face: "Zhongda, you are a smart person, you should understand the truth that a good minister chooses the lord and serves, now that Yuan Shang's qi is exhausted, you don't need to accompany him to the funeral, it is better to go back to Yan Kingdom with this king, with the help of Wang Zuozhi like you, you and I will join forces, why worry about not being able to destroy the pottery thief in the future and achieve a great cause." ”

Liu Bei is also the master of love, he can bear to abandon Yuan Shang, an ally, but he is reluctant to Sima Yi, the supreme wise man, at this time, there is no need to hide his armpits, of course, it is a straightforward solicitation.

As soon as these words came out, Sima Yi's eyes moved, and a trace of heartbeat flashed in his eyes.

The reason why he defected to Yuan Shang was nothing more than to borrow Yuan Shang's hand to fight against the pottery thief, in the final analysis, Yuan Shang was just a chess piece in his eyes, how could he really be loyal to Yuan Shang and be willing to accompany him to the funeral.

Now that Yuan Shang's demise is imminent, Sima Yi has been looking for a home for himself for a long time.

Looking at the world, the princes of the south are too far away, and there are only two kings Cao Cao and Liu Bei for him to choose from.

Cao Cao has many strategists on his side, even if he goes to defect, he may not be reused, but Liu Bei here, except for a supreme wise man Zhuge Liang, there are no other outstanding strategists, if he comes to defect, he will be able to stand in a place.

"Alas......" Sima Yi sighed bitterly and looked at Liu Bei gratefully, "King Meng is so appreciated, Yi is really flattered, if Yi knew that the king was so powerful, he had already defected to the king's command and served the king before and after the saddle." ”

As soon as the words changed, Sima Yi said generously: "Although the Duke of Jin is not the lord of the Ming, but he has a great grace to Yi, Yi is a minister of the Jin State, when the country is in danger, the Duke of Jin is still there, if Yi abandons him and goes to the new master, it is really against the way of being a minister, and Yi is really unbearable." ”

"Zhong Da is really a loyal man." Liu Bei was in awe, gave a thumbs up and admired, and then sighed: "It's just that Yuan Shang is a mediocre lord, although Zhong Da is loyal, but he is loyal to such a mediocre lord, isn't it that the world laughs at you for being stupid and loyal?" ”

Sima Yi's body was shocked, as if he had suddenly been enlightened, and fell into silence for a while.

Liu Bei saw that he was moved, but he didn't urge him, just quietly waited for him to make a decision.

After a long time, Sima Yi sighed and arched his hand: "Although Yuan Shang is a mediocre lord, but Yi must be benevolent to him, Yi asks the king to leave me 3,000 soldiers and horses, Yi will do his best to save the Jin Duke to break through, if the day is going to die Yuan, Yi also did what should be done, at that time, Yi will go to Youzhou to join the king." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Bei could say nothing other than sighing Sima Yi's loyalty, so he had to agree to Sima Yi's invitation.

At that moment, Liu Bei allocated 3,000 soldiers and horses to Sima Yi, and led the main force of more than 20,000 Yan troops.

Sima Yi got 3,000 soldiers and horses, plus the 2,000 troops of the northern Jin Dynasty commanded by Guo Huai, so he continued to stay in the camp with 5,000 soldiers and horses.

In order to bluff, Sima Yi ordered Yu to plant many banners in the camp and plant straw men all over the camp to disguise the momentum of thousands of troops and horses, pretending that Liu Bei's Yan army had not withdrawn.

Everything was busy, and it was already dawn, so Sima Yi repaired a book and sent his henchmen to sneak into Jinyang City to Yuan Shang while it was dark.

Seeing the family soldiers disappear into the night, a trace of coldness appeared in Sima Yi's wolf eyes, "Yuan Shang, if you don't die, how can I justifiably defect to Liu Bei, but before you die, at least you can be used to rescue my Sima clan and the Zhang family, and you can be regarded as a waste." ”

……

Jinyang City, Guogong Mansion.

In the deathly silence, Yuan Shangkut sat there, staring at the map all night, and the whole person was in a state of panic.

The news of Cao Cao's withdrawal had just reached Yuan Shang's hands, giving him a heavy blow to his spirit, and the hope that had just been ignited was immediately extinguished.

"As soon as the old thief Cao left, only Liu Bei was left with reinforcements all the way, and I don't know if I can withstand the attack of the pottery thief, damn Cao Cao......" Yuan Shang patted the case and muttered.

Just when Yuan Shang was annoyed, his own soldiers came to report, saying that Sima Yi's henchmen had entered the city and were waiting outside.

Yuan Shang suddenly had a bad premonition, and immediately ordered him to call in.

As soon as the soldiers entered, Yuan Shang couldn't wait to say first: "The news of Cao Cao's withdrawal of troops, presumably Liu Bei and Zhong Da already know about it, so how does Liu Bei plan to deal with it." ”

"Back to the Duke of Jin, Gongsun Du of Liaodong sent troops to attack Youzhou, Liu Bei has led the main force to return to help in the starry night, and the lord of my family has specially ordered a small man to report to the Duke of Guo." The soldier said silently.

A thunderbolt slammed into the top of Yuan Shang's head, instantly shocking him, stunned and frightened, his body trembled violently, and he almost fell from his seat.

"Cao Cao is gone, Liu Bei is also gone, it's over, the Jin Kingdom is over......" The frightened Yuan Shang muttered to himself in despair, and his face was as white as paper in a blink of an eye.

After walking all the way Cao Cao, Yuan Shang still had some hope, and now even Liu Bei is gone, leaving him alone, with thousands of soldiers and horses at hand, how can he hold Jinyang.

Yuan Shao, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi......

The tragic fate of his father and brother immediately appeared in Yuan Shang's mind, and he seemed to have seen his tragic ending, how could he not be frightened and frightened.

At this moment, the soldier took out a silk book and arched his hand: "Don't worry about the Duke of Jin, my master has a secret plan dedicated to the Duke of Jin, and the master said that as long as the Duke of Jin does it, he will be able to escape and ascend to heaven, and there will be hope of turning the tables in the future." ”

Yuan Shang, who was originally desperate, suddenly shook his body, and surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he saw a ray of light in the darkness.

He immediately jumped up, stumbled down the steps, snatched the secret letter from the soldier's hand, and couldn't wait to look at it.

Gradually, the panic on Yuan Shang's face eased, and his emotions slowly calmed down.

"Tao thief, you want to destroy my Yuan clan, but it's not that simple, my Yuan Shang hasn't reached the time to admit defeat......" When he closed the secret letter, the corners of Yuan Shang's mouth had hooked up a cold smirk.
