Sword Pavilion.

Liu Bei's face was gloomy and his brows were furrowed, looking at the Cao Wei army that was like a black tide under the city pass, slowly retreating.

"Order, auxiliaries will go to the city, immediately rescue the wounded, and strengthen the city defense!"

Liu Bei ordered to the general beside him without looking back.

"Whoa!"

The Shu army in red armor in the distance didn't have to wait for the general's order to be handed down, they were already cleaning the battlefield in an orderly manner.

In the past few months, they have become accustomed to such days, and the Cao army has launched attacks like a madman day and night, although each time it has ended in failure, but they have repeatedly

Defeated again and again, undiscouraged.

"Weird!"

Liu Bei frowned, with a hint of solemnity on his face, looking at the Cao army camp in the distance, he had a bad premonition.

"It's weird!"

Xu Shu walked behind Liu Bei at some point, lowered his head and thought nervously, not noticing Liu Bei.

Well?

Liu Bei heard the voice coming from behind him, and subconsciously looked back, but saw Xu Shuzheng pacing with an unusually serious expression, which gave him an ominous premonition.

"Yuan Zhi, what's wrong?"

Liu Bei held his breath and asked tentatively at Xu Shu.

"Huh? Your Majesty! ”

Xu Shu was interrupted from his train of thought, with a trace of warm anger on his face, but when he looked up, he saw that it was Liu Bei, and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.

"It's okay!"

Liu Bei waved his hand, not caring about these details, Xu Shu can be so sad, naturally it is also for his great cause, at least to prove the loyalty of the other party.

"Your Majesty, this matter is a little strange for the minister, even if the Cao army can fight well and have a large number of people, but they attack the city day and night, not only do they suffer heavy losses, but they will also lose momentum

Break low, this ...... This is a bit counterintuitive! ”

Xu Shu showed puzzlement on his face and said the doubts in his heart.

Unconscionable?

When Liu Bei heard this, he muttered to himself.

The Sword Pavilion is a terrain where one man is the key to ten thousand people, if Cao Jun wants to attack Yizhou, there is only one way to eliminate Liu Bei!

It stands to reason that Cao's army is so desperate to attack Chengguan, because the purpose of Cao Angxi's expedition is unification.

But...... Xu Shu just said that this is unreasonable!

"Not good!"

Liu Bei turned around and looked at Cao Jun's camp again, and looked at the Ningzi banner next to the Cao Zi Banner, and his face suddenly froze.

"Oops! Ning Zhiyuan! ”

Xu Shu suddenly exclaimed, he hurriedly rushed forward to look at Cao Ying eagerly, as his eyes continued to turn, his face showed a look of defeat.

"Ning Zhiyuan is a dragon and phoenix among people, he has always been scheming, and he doesn't play cards with common sense when marching and fighting, this time he has been trapped in this sword for several months without reacting, which is also true

It's so abnormal! ”

Liu Bei said to Xu Shu with bright eyes, at this moment he already understood what his hunch was.

"That's right! The monster acts like an antelope hanging its horns, which makes people unguardable, but this time he has confronted us for so long without reacting! ”

"He's confusing us!"

The more Xu Shu spoke, the more certain he became, looking at the corpse under the pass, his face was a little angry and a little awe-inspiring.

"Fake! It's all fake! The siege is all fake! ”

Xu Shu seemed to think of something, and there was a little madness in his eyes.

"Yuan Zhi...... Yuanzhi, did you think of something? ”

Liu Bei was taken aback by Xu Shu's appearance, and hurriedly grabbed him to try to calm him down.

"Your Majesty! We...... Fooled......" Xu Shu bitterly stretched out his finger and pointed to the corpses all over the mountains and fields, "He doesn't care about the Sword Pavilion, or he doesn't want to break it at all."

Sword Pavilion, and these are all things he used to confuse us! ”

"You mean...... Ning Rong feigned attack? Can ......"

Liu Bei asked with some doubts, there have been dozens of siege battles in the past few months, and he remembers the tragic scene vividly, how could it be a feint? If even this is a feint, then Cao Jun

It's terrifying, isn't it?

"Your Majesty, this is exactly what is terrible about Ning Rong! I didn't expect ...... After many years, the geek has been so ruthless! ”

Xu Shu said with palpitations, his eyes flashing with fear.

"He knows that His Majesty is the commander of the battlefield fighting, and he is also the one who uses soldiers, and it is definitely impossible to confuse His Majesty if he uses some ordinary means, so he ...... He launched a fierce attack, he

Draw all of our attention here! Sword Pavilion! ”

What the?

Hearing Xu Shu's words, Liu Bei couldn't help but gasp.

"You...... Are you saying that all this is Ning Rong to confuse us? ”

"That'...... Aren't these soldiers who died wronged? ”

"No!"

A trace of madness appeared on Xu Shu's face, and he said to Liu Bei word by word.

"In order to be able to reach his unspeakable secrets, they did not die unjustly! Wei Chen can conclude that Ning Rong's plan must be very big, otherwise I'm sorry for these lives! ”

"Then you ......"

Although Liu Bei admitted that what Xu Shu said was very reasonable, he still didn't believe Ning Rong's scheme, because Yizhou was not the Central Plains, and there were no four strategic places, so Ning Rong couldn't be secret

infiltrated the Sword Pavilion.

"No...... No...... He must be plotting something somewhere! ”

"Wei Chen can feel that except for the initial siege, he is not fighting wits with Wei Chen now, no!"

Xu Shu shook his head a little dejectedly and muttered over and over again.

"It's horrible! It's terrible, he's planning something else when he's confronting himself! ”

“…… It's horrible......"

Liu Bei stood beside Xu Shu and looked at Xu Shu who had fallen into madness, but his face was not good-looking.

What is it? He...... What the hell are you planning!

"Report ...... Your Majesty, General Wang Xiong led his troops to ask for a meeting! ”

And at this moment, a voice from a distance interrupted the two of them in their musings.

"Who?"

Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, raised his head and was slightly stunned, obviously not daring to believe it.

"Wang Xiong? Isn't he guarding the city? Why did you come to Sword Pavilion without permission? As a general, he left his post without permission, he should be killed! ”

Xu Shu reacted suddenly, and at this moment he didn't care about etiquette, so he rushed forward and grabbed the soldier and asked viciously.

"Back to ...... Back to my lord, General Wang Xiong said that he said that the ditch was captured by Cao's army, and he fought hard to kill the enemy and finally had to flee in defeat! ”

The soldier was so frightened by the angry Xu Shu that he trembled, and said in a whisper.

"Rubbish!"

Xu Shu was furious when he heard this, and pushed the soldier to the ground, his face flushed with anger, and he wanted to kill the other party immediately.

"Say! What the hell is going on! ”

Liu Bei also reacted to this, he suppressed the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth and asked him.

"Back to Your Majesty, I heard from General Wang that it was Cao Jun who pretended to be our brother and deceived the city gate......

"Do you know who General Cao is?" Liu Bei suppressed his anger and asked.

"Zhao Yun! There is also a veteran who is good at wielding a red broadsword......"

"Huang Zhong!"

Xu Shu glanced at Cao Ying in the distance, and suddenly understood in his heart, no wonder he saw Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong's banners standing in Cao Ying, but he didn't see these two people attacking the city, it turned out that they

It's a quiet detour!

"Your Majesty! The ditch has been lost, but I am afraid that Hanchang City will also fall into the hands of Cao Jun, so ...... The road from Yizhou to Jingzhou is broken! ”

"Idiot!"

Liu Bei didn't understand the importance of the matter when he heard this, he was killed from that road into Yizhou back then, and now he was cut off by Cao Jun to return to Yizhou, so Yizhou will really die!

As the so-called lonely palm is difficult to sing, Jingzhou and Yizhou are connected, and they can be attacked and defended, and the two can help each other!

But now Cao Jun has cut off the connection between the two with one sword, which is equivalent to cutting off Liu Bei's arm!

This not only dealt a great blow to him militarily, but also caused a lot of losses to the hearts of the people.

"Bang!"

Liu Bei turned around and drew his sword, and threw it to the ground with a cold face.

"Spread my will, Wang Xiong's defense of the city is not good, and he will commit suicide!"

"Yes!"

The soldier picked up his sword with trembling hands, took a few steps back respectfully, and turned to go down the city, but his back was already wet.

"Your Majesty, the city must be snatched back! Otherwise, the second general will be in danger! Xu Shu suddenly raised his head and said to Liu Bei.

"How is the second brother?"

Hearing the other party mention Guan Yu, Liu Bei hurriedly asked.

"Your Majesty, you think, now the lord of Eastern Wu is Sun Quan, this person has heard of it a little, although he has some skills in internal affairs, but if you want to talk about eloquence, it is naturally impossible to talk about it! Wechen

It was because he was afraid that he would be afraid of Cao Wei and break the covenant! ”

Xu Shu paused slightly, trying to calm his excited heart.

"Are you saying that he will ally with Cao Cao to deal with the second brother?" Liu Bei felt a little incredulous and asked him.

"Even if you won't ally with Cao Wei, you won't ally with us anymore! After all, Sun Quan is far from being a person compared to Sun Ce! ”

"Damn it!"

Listening to Xu Shu say this, Liu Bei is a head and two big, but now he really misses Sun Ce, at least that guy is very far-sighted in war.

"Has Sun Ce's death been found out?" Liu Bei seemed to think of something.

"Back to Your Majesty, the Huoyan Division here in Chengdu has been checked, and there is no change, if it weren't for Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's plan, then eighty percent would have nothing to do with Cao Cao!" Xu Shu replied cautiously

replied.

"Whew...... I didn't order him to be killed, and I didn't think Kong Ming would either, it seems that it is Cao Cao's handiwork, it's really hateful! ”

Liu Bei said resentfully, the current situation is a bit urgent.

"Yuan Zhi, who did you say should be sent to recover the ditch!"

"This ......"

Xu Shu didn't expect Liu Bei to throw this problem to him.

"Your Majesty, now the soldiers in Shuzhong are overstretched, if you want to forcibly take the ditch and other places by force, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it, but if you let it go, it will inevitably threaten the hinterland of Yizhou!

”

Xu Shu slowly analyzed Liu Bei, and Liu Bei listened silently.

"At this time of embarrassment, I'm afraid there is only Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng!"

As Xu Shu spoke, he looked up at Liu Bei, but saw that Liu Bei was also looking at him.

"Yuanzhi, don't be arrogant, with your wisdom, you can also succeed!"

"Naturally! It's just that...... The land of the Sword Pavilion is even more inmissible, and everything still needs to be decided by His Majesty! ”

Xu Shu unceremoniously admitted it, and instead reminded the other party euphemistically.

"Alas......"

Liu Bei fell into silence, the Sword Pavilion, Yinping, and the Ditch are all places that cannot be lost, but there are only two talents under his command who can be used!
