Qin Fan gave the order, his heartstrings tensed slightly.

"Kill."

The fierce battle unfolded, and Qin Fan held a shield to boost morale back and forth on the city wall. He was thinking about leading a team of men and horses to rush out and let Liu Xuan's army see his weapons.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xuan's soldiers and horses, who were originally violent, left hundreds of corpses, and retreated like a tide.

The originally noisy battlefield suddenly became eerily quiet.

Xu Chuxing rushed over, "Lord, have you seen it, I know this kid Li Man, and he is vulnerable." Never dare to fight with us with real swords and guns, according to me, let's rush out directly. Kill him without leaving a piece of armor! ”

"There's no hurry."

As soon as Qin Fan's words fell, he saw a young general running over with a team of soldiers.

"The last general, Xu Sheng, has seen the lord."

"Excuse me." Qin Fan looked at him with a smile.

Xu Sheng was guarding Nancheng, and suddenly ran here, there must be something.

Xu Sheng is very handsome and a beautiful young man, but if he looks at him like this during the war, he is afraid that he will suffer a big loss.

"Lord, the enemy army has fought and withdrawn like this, it should be withdrawn."

"Withdrawal?" Qin Fan's heart moved, "How can you see it?" ”

Xu Chu scratched his head, "Yes, why are you withdrawing again?" ”

Xu Sheng said embarrassedly: "I understand Li Man, although he doesn't have the ability to lead troops to fight, but his face kung fu is absolutely first-class, this time it should be a change of defense, otherwise he would not take the initiative to attack us on such a large scale." ”

He pointed to the retreating Liu Jun in the distance below the city, "My lord, you see that they retreated in a very orderly manner, and they didn't retreat for long, it should be a feint, with the intention of retreating." ”

"What do you mean Zhou Yu is almost here?"

"The spies are coming to report, Zhou Yu's army will arrive tomorrow morning at the latest."

Xu Sheng was slightly excited: "That is to say, Zhou Yu and Liu Xuan's soldiers and horses will definitely not cooperate to attack us together." ”

Xu Chu was confused and wondered: "General Xu, why can't I understand?" ”

Xu Sheng smiled bitterly: "My meaning is very simple, we can't take the initiative to pursue, let them go, it's the best choice." ”

Xu Chu said with a broken face: "The lord also said so. It seems that there is no need to fight. ”

Xu Sheng was excited, but he didn't expect Qin Fan to have the same thoughts as himself.

As soon as he had this idea, he listened to Qin Fan and said, "I said that I won't chase now, but I am preparing for a sneak attack at night." ”

"My lord..."

Xu Sheng was anxious.

Qin Fan said with a smile: "I know what you mean, you can rest assured, you just give them a dismount at night, not really to fight with them." ”

Xu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, if he faced Zhou Yu and Liu Miao at the same time, this small city would not have to be guarded.

When night fell, Xi Zhicai walked into Qin Fan's room.

"Lord, are you looking for me?"

"Sit."

Qin Fan handed him a glass of water, "Zhicai, Liu Xuan's army may have to withdraw tomorrow morning and change guards with Zhou Yu, do you have any opinions?" ”

Xi Zhicai took a sip of tea, "Recently, I have learned about Liu Xuan and Sun Ce, and Sun Ce had some festivals with him earlier. ”

Qin Fan Weizheng, "It's a holiday, when is it?" ”

Xi Zhicai's face was strange, "The lord doesn't know about this? ”

Qin Fan suddenly understood, it must have been a festival when Sun Ce first came a few years ago, and he had even fought. It's just that Qin Fan's memory stayed in the history of the Three Kingdoms, and he thought that the two didn't fight.

"I remember," Qin Fan patted his head, "and then what?" ”

Xi Zhicai smiled slightly, "They have had a holiday, so it is said that they will not be twisted into a rope." Now if we want to plot against Liu Xuan, it is unlikely. ”

Qin Fan nodded silently.

"Of course, this is all speculation." Xi Zhicai said: "With my understanding of Zhou Yu, he may be able to do anything." ”

"What do you mean?"

"If Zhou Yu convinces Liu Xuan, it is also possible. Then we could be in absolute danger. ”

Xi Zhicai pointed to the map in front of Qin Fan and said, "Lord, look, if our Butterfly City is actually attentive, it is not difficult to conquer. ”

"Zhou Yu has been slow to capture this city, I think it is because there is a need for sufficient reasons. Second, he may plan something bigger. ”

Qin Fan stared at the map, and suddenly said: "Their forces are a little far away from us, even if they take down the Butterfly, I'm afraid of ........"

Xi Zhicai stroked his palm and said: "I have this intention, so I conclude that this is the main reason why Zhou Yu has not taken down the Butterfly for a long time." ”

Qin Fan wrinkled his brows and said, "Then what should we do now?" ”

"Cut off all possibilities, and can't let Zhou Yu and Liu Xuan's army converge." Xi Zhicai's face was firm, "Zhou Yu can't be treated with common sense, maybe what we think, he will just do the opposite." ”

Qin Fan said tentatively: "Night attack on Liu Xuan? ”

Xi Zhicai clenched his fist and stretched forward, "Beat him away." ”

Xi Zhicai's thoughts coincided with Qin Fan's attention, but Qin Fan didn't think as much as Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai's meaning is actually very simple, Zhou Yu and Liu Miao should not cooperate to attack them together.

But this possibility exists, especially in the case of Zhou Yu.

Therefore, Xi Zhicai's idea was to drive away Liu Xuan, and even let Liu Xuan suffer a defeat that was not big or small.

Drive them in the direction of their lair, so that Zhou Yu will not have the opportunity to change guards with him.

In this way, the two are separated, and there are fewer opportunities for cooperation.

Although this is only a small probability possibility, Xi Zhicai still wants to put an end to this possibility.

"After suffering the defeat, Liu Miao has the heart to preserve his strength, so it is even more difficult to cooperate with Zhou Yu, and their cooperative relationship is actually broken."

Xi Zhicai got up and said, "Therefore, everything depends on tonight." ”

Qin Fan asked, "How many soldiers and horses do I still bring?" ”

"Two thousand."

Qin Fan raised his eyebrows, "That's okay, two thousand is two thousand." The city will be handed over to you. ”

Called Dian Wei, Qin Fan led two thousand people and quietly went out of the city in the night.

Qin Fan was originally only going to take five hundred people out of the city, but if he had the energy to drive away the enemy, five hundred was obviously a little less.

Even so, two thousand is still too little.

You must know that there are 60,000 soldiers and horses in the Li Man military camp, which is claimed to be 100,000.

"Dian Wei," Qin Fan whispered, "I order you to take five hundred people to the southeast to ambush, remember that when you arrive, put more torches, the more the better, and when you hear the sound of fighting, immediately light these torches." ”

"What does this mean, lord?" Dian Wei was a little confused.

"Do as I say." Qin Fan frowned, called a junior general beside him, and explained what He Dian Wei said to him again.

"Alright, let's go."

After Dian Wei left, Qin Fan gave a few more orders, and soon there were only about a hundred people left around him.

More than a hundred people looked at Qin Fan nervously.
