"My lord, we are just saying that the young general and Tanzhi are now trapped in Wancheng and are in danger, so they should send troops to rescue them immediately."

Glancing at each other, Jian Yong and Sun Qian looked at each other a little, feeling that this situation should not appear to Liu Bei, I don't know... What did Liu Bei experience when he went to Xiangyang this time.

"Feng'er and Ping'er, didn't they withdraw in advance?"

Hearing this, Liu Bei's eyes froze.

"No... Or it should be said that it was too late to retreat, Cao Ren and Cao Hong marched too fast, and when the army had not yet arrived in Wancheng, the vanguard elite cavalry had already cut off the retreat of Wancheng, and the major generals could only do to hold on and wait for reinforcements. ”

A Liu Feng and a Guan Ping, these two people are definitely the pillars and leaders who will support Liu Bei's side in the future, if they are folded in Wancheng, they will inevitably break their muscles and bones...

"Zilong, if all the elite cavalry in my general are handed over to you, I can be confident that Feng'er and Ping'er will withdraw to Xinye."

Many generals under his command, if they talk about commanding troops to fight, they should be headed by Guan Yu... If you talk about charging into battle, Zhang Fei should be stronger than Guan Yu, but if you talk about... The way of iron riding is headed by Zhao Yun.

However, at this moment, Zhao Yun obviously has not recovered from the blows of the previous two days, and his reaction seems to be a beat slower.

"If it's just... There is no problem in receiving the major general and Tanzhi, but if you want to receive the evacuation of 3,000 soldiers and horses in the city... It's not easy. ”

After secretly deducing in his heart, Zhao Yun shook his head.

If Xinye's cavalry doubles or doubles again, it will be nine out of ten.

But up and down in the new field... The cavalry of the various divisions combined, at best, is about three thousand, and what about Cao Ren?

According to the regular configuration of Cao Jun, Cao Ren's elite cavalry... When between fifteen thousand and twenty thousand, there is no need for more... It only takes Cao Ren to divide one-third of the elite horsemen, and they can be entangled to death, and then... Slowly consume and devour.

"Big brother, second brother is willing to go with Zilong."

After two days and two nights in a row, even Guan Yu felt a little tired..., how about Liu Feng, he didn't care, but Guan Ping... He, the eldest son who has only been recognized after being separated for many years, must not have a half-point difference again.

"Newspaper... Lord, the military advisor has arrived. ”

Just when Liu Bei was thinking to himself, there was a burst of broken steps outside the door, and Zhuge Liang walked in.

"It seems... It's all here! ”

Seeing that the civil and military ministers in Xinye City gathered here, Zhuge Liang chuckled and saluted Liu Bei, and then sat in his place slowly, the wind was light... Full of composure.

"Kong Ming... You're finally here. ”

Seeing Zhuge Liang coming, Liu Bei's spirit was shocked, and the panic in his heart... Immediately settled down.

"Kong Ming, now... Feng'er and Ping'er were besieged in Wancheng by Cao Ren and Cao Hong, what should I do, I don't know if Kong Ming has a good plan? ”

"Not bad! If the advisor asks for anything, he will be told... Yun Chang is willing to lead the army into battle. ”

At the moment when Liu Bei's words fell, Guan Yu immediately got up and said.

In the face of Cao Ren and Cao Hong's 100,000 army, only with bravery... It's not enough, you still need Zhuge Liang to make suggestions, or have a good opportunity.

"Haha... The lord, the second general... The two of them were distraught, and in Liang's opinion... There is no urgency. After all, Cao Ren is proficient in the art of war, if he is in a hurry, he may fall into Cao Jun's trap, the lord... According to the light, the right and in the ascending moment... Perhaps there will be other turning points is unknown. ”

Lang laughed, Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, shook his head and said.

"Strategist... The situation in Wancheng is critical, Encore waits? Please also ask the military advisor to think of a way quickly, no matter how difficult it is... A certain family will never frown. ”

Hearing Zhuge Liang's laughter, Liu Bei and Guan Yu were still okay... only frowned, and then fell into deep thought, but Zhang Fei on the side couldn't sit still, and quickly stood up, urging Zhuge Liang with a loud voice.

"Yide, be quiet, my head. . . It's all a headache from you. ”

Rubbing his brain, Liu Bei moved his gaze to Zhang Fei and said with a little helplessness.

"Big brother, aren't I in a hurry..."

looked at Liu Bei, and then looked at Wen Chen's shrinking head on the other side, Zhang Fei laughed dryly in embarrassment.

"Kong Ming... Could it be that you had anticipated today's events and made arrangements early? ”

Out of his understanding of Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei was a little surprised after thinking about it... asked.

"Don't say... I can't say it, the lord might as well wait a little longer. ”

"I heard that the lord made some good tea some time ago, I don't know if I can have this blessing today... Taste on the top. ”

Seeing Liu Bei, he was flustered and suspicious... Slowly calming down, Zhuge Liang nodded secretly, and then his voice changed... Tear apart the matter of Wancheng.

"It's an oversight! Come, go and make the old tea that I got some time ago, and I want to drink it with you. ”

After making sure that Zhuge Liang had responded, Liu Bei's heavy mood naturally relaxed a lot, and he called the maid... He brought up the only treasures in his house.

"This tea... The color is pure, bitter and fragrant, it is really a good tea! Good tea! ”

Naturally, this old tea was not bought by Liu Bei, but... After learning the news of Liu Bei's defeat of Xiahoudun, some scholars in Jingzhou specially sent gifts in order to ease the relationship between the two sides, which were naturally of extraordinary value.

Even Zhuge Liang is only at his old father-in-law's house... I was fortunate enough to taste it once.

"There is still a little in the mansion, if Kong Ming likes it, I will ask someone to send it to Kong Ming in the mansion later."

Taking a sip, Liu Bei felt much better, and said to Zhuge Liang with a smile.

"That's... Kong Ming thanked the lord first! ”

He laughed, and Zhuge Liang immediately buried himself in the fragrance of tea.

As for the civil and military ministers on the left and right, looking at Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's painting style changing suddenly, they looked like they were friends with monarchs and ministers, and they had deep doubts in their hearts... At this moment, he had to lower his head and temporarily bury his head along the situation of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

In this way, time passed moment by minute, until the tea on the case was changed twice, outside General Zuo's mansion... Finally there was movement.

"Newspaper... Lord, lord! Major General and General Guan Ping are back! ”

At the door, General Zuo's personal guards hurriedly ran in, reporting with a happy face.

"What!? Feng'er and Ping'er are back! ”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, stood up one after another, and looked out of the door.

After about ten breaths, Liu Feng and Guan Ping walked in one after another, although their faces were full of dust... But overall, the spirit is not bad.

"Feng'er, Ping'er!"

Although he has a lot of information about Zhuge Liang in his heart, when Liu Bei saw Liu Feng and Guan Ping with his own eyes, he still couldn't help it... My heart trembled, and I hurriedly walked down.

"Liu Feng, Guan Ping, meet the lord!"

"Feng'er, Ping'er, get up! Hurry up! ”

Helping the two of them up with his own hands, seeing that the two of them showed no signs of injury, Liu Bei's heart completely let go of the stone.

"Young General, what's the situation over there in Wancheng?"

"On the way back this time, was intercepted and killed by Cao's army, what were the casualties?

Immediately following Liu Bei, the civil and military forces on both sides gradually surrounded him, and you asked word by word, and I asked word by word.

"Soon after we withdrew, Wancheng was occupied by Cao's army..."

Facing everyone's eyes, Liu Feng and Guan Ping told everything about Wancheng, including Zhuge Liang's tricks.

"You mean to say... As early as after our army defeated Xiahoudun, the military advisor expected all this and left a retreat plan for the two of you early..."

At this moment, everyone in the hall focused on Zhuge Liang in unison, looking at Zhuge Liang's calm expression, and there was only admiration in their hearts.

What does it mean to have no last resort! What does it mean to be like a god! What is the meaning of winning a thousand miles!

"Kong Ming, with Kong Ming's help, it is really a great luck to prepare for this life!"

Taking three steps back, Liu Bei once again saluted Zhuge Liang.

With Zhuge Liang's ability, strategy... Don't say that it is three visits to the thatched house, that is, ten visits to the thatched house, and a hundred visits to the thatched house... He, Liu Bei, will still do it.

"My lord, it's serious! As a military advisor, he should be the lord to take precautions. It's just..."

returned the salute to Liu Bei, and when he saw Zhuge Liang's expression, he said:

"It's just that Cao Ren and Cao Hong are now occupying Wancheng and have established themselves in Nanyang, I'm afraid it won't take a few days for Cao Ren and Cao Hong to wave their troops in Xinye, whether to fight or retreat... It is still necessary for the lord to make a decision as soon as possible. ”

Zhuge Liang's words made everyone's expressions sink suddenly, that's right, the loss of Wancheng is just the prelude to this big war,... The next big battle is the one who needs to be more cautious... Coping with the reality.

"What about the war? What about retreat? ”

After glancing at Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei walked back and forth in the hall for a few steps, then turned around and looked up and asked.

"If you fight... Burn the jade! If you retreat, Fancheng and Xiangyang face each other, the city is high and the pool is deep, you can go to Fancheng to camp first. ”

"Military advisor, isn't there a way to repel Cao Ren and Cao Hong?"

Because Zhuge Liang has repeatedly created miracles, everyone's subconscious... put hope on Zhuge Liang's body.

"What happens after repelling Cao Ren and Cao Hong? Cao Cao will swear to go south tomorrow, facing the army of hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves of the Cao army, how can he refuse to defend it only with Xinye Town? ”

If the city is defended, it will only evolve into an endless war of attrition, and the Cao army has this capital... And Liu Bei, no.

If the soldiers under his command lose too much, even if there is an opportunity to plot against Jingxiang in the future, it will be because of insufficient strength... Give it to people in vain.

This is inconsistent with interests, and even more inconsistent with Zhuge Liang's plan.

Ideal and realistic, Liu Bei obviously knows which one to choose.

"In that case, I will listen to what the military advisor says, but... What should the people of this city do? ”

"Some time ago, Xiahou lost his soldiers, if Cao soldiers were killed in Xinye... If they can't find us, they will definitely put these people on their feet, and there will be countless casualties. ”

For a moment, his brows were tightly locked, and it was actually nothing to run away, after all, in his life, from north to south... I don't know how many times I ran.

It's just that if he turns his back on the people and lives alone, it really doesn't correspond to the morality in his heart.

Moreover... Half of the soldiers under his command were recruited from Xinye, and if they left... People's hearts are fluctuating, what should I do?
