While Zhuge Liang was thinking, a team of guards from the city rushed over.

After Zhuge Liang greeted them, they rushed to Liu Qi's residence with two corpses.

Zhuge Liang's assassination and other major events have already been reported to Liu Qi, Liu Qi couldn't rest and hurriedly got up, so he had to send someone to rescue Zhuge Liang. As a result, before the people were sent out, they heard the news of Zhuge Liang's arrival.

Liu Qi was suddenly relieved, and hurriedly asked Zhuge Liang and the three of them to enter the lobby. As soon as he came in, Liu Qi saw Zhuge Liang's face sinking like water, obviously what happened just now made him very angry. Who's after being assassinated? I guess I won't be in a good mood. Liu Qi hurriedly comforted him: "I heard that Mr. was assassinated, and I was about to bring someone to help, but I didn't expect you to escape, sir." It didn't hurt, did it? ”

Zhuge Liang raised his eyes and looked at Liu Qi, and then sighed in his eyes and said: "Fortunately, the person who assassinated me this time is me, if you assassinate you directly, I am afraid that you will already be in a different place." ”

"Ahh Why did you say that, sir? Liu Qi said in shock.

Zhuge Liang didn't bother to talk nonsense, and said directly: "I have brought the body of the assassin, and the eldest prince will know it at a glance." Liu Qi didn't know why he asked the assassin's body to be moved in, but it was good not to look at it, and he was really startled.

It turned out that there was a person who was his personal guard Liu Peng. Speaking of which, Liu Peng was personally recruited by him, and he usually rewarded him with things. Unexpectedly, this person is an immature dog after all. Seeing Liu Peng's corpse appear, the sweat on Liu Qi's head suddenly appeared, at this time he didn't believe his personal guards, the ghost knows if there are any Liu Peng's comrades among these people.

"Sir, this ...... How is he? ”

"If he hadn't personally shot and was killed by my guards, I really didn't know that this person was actually the eldest prince's personal guard. And when I came in the morning, I was stopped by this person. Zhuge Liang told the morning by the way.

"Did the gentleman come in the morning?" Liu Qi was surprised.

"Yes, it is said that the eldest prince slept late last night and didn't get up in the morning, so I turned around and went back." Hearing Zhuge Liang say this, Liu Qi suddenly made a big red face. He awkwardly diverted the subject: "I have arranged a team of guards for my husband, I heard that there are three assassins and one of them has escaped." has prevented him from coming back, and then it will be unfavorable to Mr. ”

Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said: "This matter is not in a hurry, the person who assassinated me must be Cao Cao, it seems that his army should have been dispatched." The striker was wiped out by our army, but at this moment it is still not to be careless! In terms of numbers and strength, we are not Cao Jun's opponents. ”

When Liu Qi heard this, he hurriedly asked: "Then according to Mr. Wang's opinion, what should we do?" ”

"I have a plan, but it hurts the heavens and the peace, and I was still hesitant to use it. However, when the Assassin appeared, I made up my mind to let Cao Cao know how good I was. Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang paused, and then continued: "If this plan is to be implemented, it is inseparable from your support. But I hope that until the plan is implemented, the eldest prince will not mention it to others. ”

Liu Qi nodded and said, "Sir, don't worry, I will never let the fourth person know about this matter." Zhuge Liang nodded, and then he said his plan. Shan Fu and Liu Qi gasped after hearing this, if this plan is really successful, then Cao Cao will not enter Xinye City, if he comes in, he may really die here!

After the shock, Liu Qi immediately turned his heart sideways and said fiercely: "It's done!" With this plan, what does the sir need me to do? ”

"Prince, you need to move all the people of this city out of the city, and we only have three days at most." Zhuge Liang said. Liu Qi's face was straight, and then he nodded.

The assassination of Zhuge Liang failed, and he also set up a chess piece that had been hidden by Liu Qi's side for a long time. Cao Cao was not very sad except for being annoyed. The reason is very simple, under his army, whether it is Liu Qi or Zhuge Liang, they can only be defeated in the end. Let's just let them live for a few days.

Xiahoudun and Li Dian returned to the camp with the remnants of the defeated army and the evening of the next day, and Cao Cao ordered the sword and axe hand to tie up the two without saying a word. Everyone in the big tent pleaded for mercy, and Cao Cao let them go for the time being, but the death penalty was forgiven, and the living crime was inescapable. Xiahoudun was beaten with fifty sticks, and Li Dian was beaten with thirty sticks.

After the fight, Cao Cao waved his hand and motioned for the guards to take their respective generals back to the tent to heal their wounds. Then, after resting for the night, the army continued its journey to Shinno Castle.

Three days is not a long time, but it is not a short time, with the joint efforts of Liu Qi and his subordinates, all the people in the city were finally evacuated, and at this time, there was no one else in Xinye City except for Liu Qijun's soldiers.

Seeing that Cao Cao's army was coming, Zhuge Liang and Liu Qi discussed it, and took advantage of the night, and the army quietly left Xinye City. However, before leaving, Zhuge Liang sent people to seal all the wells in the city with boulders.

In this way, Liu Qijun abandoned Xinye City without hesitation, and after they left, Cao Cao led the army to Xinye City. As a result, the scout came to report that the city was empty, and Liu Qijun had already given up on Xinye City and retreated yesterday.

When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately became suspicious, and then he ordered someone to enter the city to search, but no one was found. Although Cao Cao was puzzled, there was no reason to leave the empty city and not enter! So he ordered the army to enter the city, and at the same time left half of the men and horses outside the city, in case Liu Qi's army had any tricks.

After the army entered the city, while looking around, it was ready to bury the pot and cook. At this moment, it was suddenly discovered that the wells in the city were no longer usable. At that moment, someone quickly reported to Cao Cao. Cao Cao frowned after hearing this: "Does this Liu Qi want to force me to withdraw by cutting off the water source?" Doesn't he hear that there are too many waters outside the city to count, and what can I do if I fetch water outside? After that, he directly ordered his subordinates to go outside the city to find water, and as for the boulder on the well, he would wait until tomorrow to pay attention to it.

Seeing that night fell, the house was angry with oil lamps. Ever since Guo Jia knew that he was afraid that there would be no water in the city, he had always felt that I had neglected something. At this time, he looked up and saw the oil lamp and suddenly woke up. If the enemy set fire to it at this moment, wouldn't he trap all his people in the city?

Thinking of this, Guo Jia hurriedly came to Cao Cao and asked him to quickly order the army to withdraw from the city. Cao Cao hurriedly asked the reason. Guo Jia hurriedly said: "Lord, then Liu Qi wants to burn Xinye and burn me to death here!" ”

Just as they were talking, suddenly a fire broke out in the city! In an instant, the fire spread. Cao Cao panicked at this time, he hurriedly ordered the guards to prepare the horses, and then took Guo Jia and the guards to run straight to the city gate. Thanks to their timely run, I am afraid that half an hour in the evening will be affected by the fire.
