Liu Bei asked the soldiers to withdraw his troops at this time, and he had to do this, after all, from today's point of view, his own side still has no advantage, but it is others, the Jingzhou soldiers led by Huo Jun, that is the advantage, and his own side and others are still incomparable.

Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao retreated with their troops, and after seeing Liu Bei, the two said in unison: "Lord ......"

However, Liu Bei didn't let them finish, only to see him wave his hand, and then smiled: "I am very relieved by the performance of the two today, the war in Linyuan is the two generals!" ”

And Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao were a little embarrassed when they heard it, after all, as generals who personally led troops to attack the city, they knew better than anyone else that the two of them led troops to attack the city today, and they didn't make any achievements at all, but their lord still praised the two, and the two naturally knew that this was the lord's true words, so the two of them were a little embarrassed.

But I'm embarrassed, I'm embarrassed, I still have to say what I should say, so I heard Zhou Cang say, "Doing things for the Lord is what we should do!" ”

And Pei Yuanshao on the side, although he is not as good at talking as Zhou Cang, he is not stupid after all, so he hurriedly complied.

When Liu Bei heard this, he just waved his hand, and then didn't say anything about it, but just ordered everyone: "Pass my military order, and the whole army will return to the camp!" ”——

In Liu Bei's Chinese army account, Liu Bei just briefly said a few words about today's battle, but he still didn't forget it, and once again praised Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao in front of everyone. And after listening to the praise of their father-in-law, the two were indeed a little flattered.

After all, it's about ability. They all know that Donglai Tai Shici, as well as Wen Chou of Hebei, and even that Wei Yan are all better than the two of them. Not to mention that there are two gentlemen, whether it is Mr. Kong Ming or Mr. Yuan Zhi, who is now in the big tent, they are all powerful characters.

And in terms of qualifications, the two of them are not as good as those veterans, in terms of background. It's even worse than others. So seeing his lord praising the two of them again in front of everyone, to be honest, it really made the two of them feel very happy. After all, the so-called "people live for a breath, and the Buddha fights for a stick of incense", this face. I have to say that the two still value it very much. That's why there's such a fight for face. The two of them were naturally happy in their hearts. The so-called "noble in front of men." Proud of it", isn't that what it is.

Therefore, being praised by his lord in front of so many people really flattered Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao. And

Doesn't this mean that his lord recognized the two of them, originally his lord did not look down on the two of them because of their origins, but now they are still reused. This also has to say that the lord has a great kindness to the two of them-

After praising Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, Liu Bei talked about how to break Linyuan City as soon as possible. After all, judging from the past two days, I want to break Linyuan. It may be ten days, half a month, or even a month. However, Liu Bei still felt that with such a capable person as Xu Shu under his account, how could he come up with some good strategies to break the enemy.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask: "I don't know what Yuan Zhi thinks about breaking Linyuan City?" ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he really came again. He had long known that his lord must have been unable to help but ask himself, but in fact, he really didn't have any special methods. But it's still different from yesterday, yesterday I didn't have any ideas, but today, anyway, I still have some ideas, at least the general outline is currently there.

Although Xu Shu is not too sure that he can succeed in this, he still has to give it a try. After all, if you try, then there will be hope, but if you don't try, then there is no hope at all. So no matter what, it's always better to give it a try than to have no action at all, anyway, Xu Shu is also thinking the same way at this time.

As for the others, Liu Bei naturally waited for Xu Shu to say that there was a good way, and then he could break the enemy. And the others, almost the same, after all, in the big tent now, as long as Xu Shu is such a capable military advisor, the others are not the same-

At this time, Xu Shu, although he did smile bitterly in his heart, but in this way, he knew that he still had to say what he should say. After all, it is definitely better to have hope than not to have hope, who doesn't know what to do.

So I heard him say at this time, "Don't hide it from the lord and you, my subordinates do have a not very mature idea, and I ask the lord and you to refer to it together!" ”

When Liu Bei and everyone heard this, they said in their hearts, have a not-so-mature idea? That is to say, it is a general outline, and the general direction is still there, but the more specific implementation may be a little short. But everyone doesn't care too much about this matter, as for what Xu Shu said, let everyone refer to it together, and everyone will think he is humble. Although it is said that he is short-minded, Xu Shu is not an ordinary general, so after listening to what Xu Shu said, everyone can be regarded as having some confidence at this time.

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, "Okay, I just don't know Yuan Zhi, what do you think?" ”

Liu Bei asked directly at this time, for him, although he also felt that Xu Shu was a little modest, but he also knew that after all, he was still a person with short minds, this is for sure, the so-called "people have a lot of strength", and he has so many people under his account, can't he still study a set of ways to deal with Linyuan City? I have to say that Liu Bei still has some confidence in his subordinates, although he didn't dare to underestimate Huo Jun, he also knew that Huo Jun was the general who defended the city, but he didn't think that Huo Jun would resist the clever plan-

Xu Shu smiled, and then he didn't hide it, so he was told his own thoughts, only to hear him say: "Lord, everyone, now our army is ...... Need...... So. I wonder what the lord and everyone think? ”

When Liu Bei and the others heard this, some people couldn't help nodding, while others slowly shook their heads. Looking at the expressions of everyone, it is not difficult to understand the attitude of the people. And these can be said to be Xu Shu's expectations, if everyone really nods or shakes their heads, then they don't know what to say about their plan. And in today's situation, obviously, this is the most normal no.

And after Liu Bei listened to Xu Shu's words, he didn't have any expression. Originally, Liu Bei was invisible, especially the one who was the lord, so you don't know what he thinks, that's the most normal. But even so, it is not difficult for Xu Shu to feel it. His lord is in favor of himself, and it seems likely that he will send someone to implement it.

After all, this is a big opportunity for your side. If you don't use it. Then there is nothing. Xu Shu naturally knew that with his lord's ability, it was impossible for him not to understand this, and as for not expressing any opinions yet, he was just still thinking about a lot of things, and he was still weighing his own gains and losses. That's it—

In fact, Xu Shu really guessed correctly, isn't Liu Bei thinking like this. For him, if he still keeps storming Linyuan City, then when he really breaks the city. It doesn't have to be the Year of the Monkey. He also knew in his heart that it would be beneficial to him to settle the war as soon as possible, after all, Jingzhou was not only himself and Cai Mao, but also the other three. So time is of course very important for you.

If you delay here for a long time, it will be very bad for yourself. So after listening to what Xu Shu said, Liu Bei actually agreed in his heart, but as the lord, he definitely had to think about it carefully. After all, it's done, it's better than anything, but if it's really exposed, then think about what you will lose and see how much you lose.

After all, it is "unexpectedly victorious, unexpectedly defeated", so that it can be said to be relatively stable, and Liu Bei is definitely not such an impulsive person who doesn't care about anything. At least in the vast majority of cases, he won't.

So after Liu Bei thought about it for a while, he asked with a smile: "I don't know what you think, what Yuan Zhi said before?" ”

When everyone looked at it and heard this, they said in their hearts that if they looked at the meaning of their lord, he should be biased towards this, but ......-

The first one to speak out was Wen Chou, because Wen Chou was not needed to attack the city, so as soon as he attacked the city, Wen Chou was also watching from behind. And he is also next to Liu Bei, which can be regarded as personal protection for him. After all, his lord is responsible for the safety of the whole army, and it will definitely not work if he does not protect it.

I only heard Wen Chou say at this time: "Lord, everyone, my subordinates feel that what Mr. Yuan Zhi said is very true, and he should act like this!" ”

After Liu Bei listened to Wen Chou's words, he nodded, "Then what does General Yiwen mean?" ”

Wen Chou smiled, "Although Mr. Yuan Zhi said that this plan is not very mature, but according to his subordinates, it is already very good." As for the others, with everyone in the big account, the subordinates don't believe it and can't perfect this plan? ”

When Liu Bei heard this, it was Ha Lu who laughed, "Okay, what General Wen said is very true, it is indeed very reasonable!" ”

Liu Bei was obviously very satisfied with Wen Chou's words, after all, Wen Chou said this, and it was about the same as what he thought. The key is that now in order to break through Linyuan as soon as possible, he must use Xu Shu's plan. And I think the possibility of success is not small, so I have to give it a try-

After Wen Chou finished speaking, Liu Bei looked at Zhou Cang again, and then Pei Yuanshao, the two of them looked at each other, and this was his own lord who glanced at the two of them, which means that let the two of them say a few words?

Although Zhou Cang felt that compared with others, there was no strategy, but if he said a few words, he could still say it.

I heard Liu Bei continue to ask: "I don't know what else you have to say?" ”

Zhou Cang was stubborn, only to hear him say: "Lord, subordinates seconded the proposal!" What Mr. Yuan Zhi said makes sense, so his subordinates also think this plan is feasible! ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he smiled and nodded, Zhou Cang also thought it was good, so it seemed really good.

Then, he continued to look at Pei Yuanshao, Pei Yuanshao understood in his heart, knowing that this was his lord forcing him to express his position.

So naturally he couldn't lag behind, and said directly: "Lord, my subordinates agree, I completely agree with what everyone said!" ”

And Liu Bei laughed when he heard this, "Okay, since everyone agrees to this, then let's discuss and improve it well, and then we will do this, what do you think?" ”

When the crowd heard this, they shouted in unison, "The Lord is wise! Our army obeys the orders of the Lord!! ”——

At this time, Liu Bei was indeed happy in his heart, after all, this plan could be regarded as passed by everyone. And he also knew that everyone did not agree because of their own attitude, but because this plan was feasible, so it was the last to do so. So in this case, after the most natural perfection, you can implement it. And Liu Bei does have some confidence in this, after all, Huo Jun is a person, and he also admits that he is very clever in guarding the city.

But his people are certainly not as clever as him in defending the city, and he will not be so clever that he can find out at once. And there are no talents in the city, Cai Mao and his people, it's not that he underestimates him, he doesn't have that much ability, as for Liu Cong, can he go and ask about the war, that's all two words, let alone anything else. Regardless of this, Liu Bei didn't take Liu Cong too seriously.

It's not that Liu Bei underestimates him, Liu Cong is naturally more capable than Liu Qi, which is basically recognized. But no matter his age or experience, Liu Bei really won't look up to him. For Liu Bei, Liu Cong is just a junior. (To be continued......)
