"Alas! Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, but this time Governor Wu Qi is only afraid that the death penalty crime can be avoided and the living crime will be avoided, by the way, how does the lord plan to arrange Wu Qi Governor? After Zhuge Liang heard the report of the envoy of Langya Pavilion, he also sighed, this time the failure was too tragic, even if Lu Rui wanted to tolerate Wu Qi, it was impossible not to deal with it.

"The lord said that Wu Qi was guilty of the fiasco in this battle, and the official surrendered to the third grade, Wu Qi and the remaining soldiers under his command were temporarily under the command of the governor of the capital to fight against Cao Mengde, as for Zhao Kuangyin's side, the lord has asked Bai Qi on Dongying's side to speed up the pace of unification, and after Dongying is unified, Bai Qi will march to Goguryeo and directly attack Zhao Kuangyin from the rear." The envoy of Langya Pavilion looked at Zhuge Liang and said to Zhuge Liang.

"Well, it's okay, now Zhang He and Xu Huang have entered Qingzhou, these two are not simple characters, with Wu Qi's help, I can also grasp it bigger, Wu Qi's mercenary ability I also know a little bit, Cao Mengde was able to make Wu Qi suffer such a big defeat, and he will definitely be a very terrible opponent in the future. By the way, if my expectations are right, Wu Qi and they have already returned, General Ziyi, you and Wu Qi are more familiar with them, this time I will trouble you to pick them up! Zhuge Liang looked at Tai Shi Ci on the side and said to Tai Shi Ci.

"The last general understands!" Tai Shi Ci has left Wu Qi's army to join Zhuge Liang since Zhuge Liang was transferred to Qingzhou, and Tai Shi Ci was originally very dissatisfied with this arrangement, because Zhuge Liang is now just a hairy boy in the eyes of Tai Shi Ci, and he is less calm than Wu Qi.

However, after experiencing what happened just now, Tai Shici now suddenly felt that Zhuge Liang looked much more pleasing to the eye than Wu Qi, although he was not very old, but at least he did not fight the worst defeat in Lu Rui's history like Wu Qi.

A few days later, Wu Qi and the Five Tiger Generals and others came to Zhuge Liang's face, Zhuge Liang had already prepared, but when Zhuge Liang saw Wu Qi's ruined face, he couldn't help but change his face, and immediately walked up and asked Wu Qi: "Governor Wu Qi, are you okay?" ”

Now Wu Qi is no longer the chief general of the three armies, if you really want to count his military rank, he is not even as good as Zhao Yun and them, let alone Zhuge Liang, after hearing Zhuge Liang's name for himself, Wu Qi's heart couldn't help but feel warm, he can feel Zhuge Liang This is respect for himself from the heart, and now he is a rat in the eyes of others, everyone shouts and beats him when he crosses the street, and it is really not easy to get such respect.

"Thanks to the Governor's concern, Wu Qi is just a pawn now, how can he afford the Governor's title of Wu Qi, and please don't dislike Wu Qi's ugliness in the future." Wu Qi looked at Zhuge Liang and shook his head and said.

"Now Zhang He and Xu Huang are jointly marching into Qingzhou, both of them are handsome talents who can take charge of themselves, and now the two of them are joining forces to attack, my pressure is also very great, now that General Wu Qi is here, you can also share the pressure for me, the lord ordered, although General Wu Qi is now demoted, but still retains the right to recruit troops, that is to say, the lord allows General Wu Qi to recruit troops privately, I believe that General Wu Qi also knows what this means, and please don't let the lord down." Zhuge Liang looked at Wu Qi and said to Wu Qi.

"Thanks to the trust of the lord and the governor, Wu Qi sold himself to you in this life, and Wu Qi made an oath again that he would go to the soup for the lord in this life and dedicate his life to the lord." After Wu Qi heard Zhuge Liang's words, he naturally knew what it meant, before Wu Qi only received his own trigger, and he didn't know that Lu Rui actually retained his right to recruit troops, this meaning is already obvious, this is to make a comeback!

"Okay, after so many days of traveling, you and the generals also need to take a good rest, and everything will be talked about tomorrow." Zhuge Liang glanced at Wu Qi and the people of the Five Tiger Generals, and said to them.

Hearing this, everyone nodded, and after this period of hurrying, everyone was also very tired, so they didn't say anything, and went down immediately.

On the other side, Zhang He, Xu Huang and several important people under his command also sat together, Zhang He and Xu Huang looked at everyone, Zhang He took the lead in speaking, and said to everyone: "Generals, now the remnants of Wu Qi's defeated generals on Zhuge Liang's side have joined his command, and now the combat effectiveness of Zhuge Liang's army has been improved again, and now the combat effectiveness of Zhuge Liang's army is only afraid that it is already multiple that of our army, I don't know what you can do generals?" ”

"Hey! Isn't it just a few more people? The people under Wu Qi's command were almost wiped out by Ran Min in Nanpi, and there were only a few people who ran out, and there were so many more people who were afraid of something, and when the time came, they would kill them together, the general of the defeated army, what was there to be afraid of. After hearing Zhang He's words, Cao Ning said disapprovingly.

"Childe's words are wrong, this Wu Qi is indeed the general of the defeated army, but the five tiger generals under his command have not died, and now the five tiger generals have joined Zhuge Liang's command, so Zhuge Liang's combat effectiveness is very terrible, presumably Gongzi, you also know the performance of the five tiger generals on the battlefield before, just one Zhao Yun can fight with General Ran Min to a draw, and the result of the five people together is that only Ran Min and Luo Shixin can resist under Cao Gong's command, and now General Ran Min is guarding Nanpi, The prince of Luo Shixin and General Cao Jingzong are sitting in Bingzhou again, and at the moment we have no advantage in the face of the Five Tiger Generals, not to mention that even General Ran Min needs to temporarily avoid the edge of Yuwen Chengdu here. Even if our army now has an advantage in strength, in the face of so many 10,000 enemies, our army is still not suitable for war. Zhang He shook his head when he heard this, and said to Cao Ning.

"General, I don't know what your plans are?" Hearing this, before Cao Ning could speak, Xi Zhicai had already asked Zhang He.

"My idea is to temporarily withdraw the troops, even if Wu Qi's reputation has declined because of Wu Qi's defeat, but the prestige of the five tiger generals still exists, with the existence of the five tiger generals, the morale of Zhuge Liang's army will be high, and then Zhuge Liang will not waste such an opportunity, I am afraid that we will launch a strong attack on us soon, and even if we win, I am afraid that we will be injured by one thousand enemies and eight hundred, and the remaining troops will definitely not be able to support us to continue to fight Qingzhou, rather than suffer heavy losses at that time, It's better to retreat first and then make plans. When Zhang He heard this, he said directly to Xi Zhicai.

"Well, what the general said is indeed reasonable, but now that we have occupied part of the territory of Qingzhou, once we retreat, then the city we occupied in this short period of time will be equivalent to returning to Lu Rui, then the efforts of the soldiers during this period of time are in vain, I am worried that there will be discordant voices in the retreating army. And the cities we occupy are only some county towns, and according to Zhuge Liang's style of acting, we have no chance of retreating to these cities. Although Xi Zhicai did not deny Zhang He's idea, he also raised his own objections to Zhang He's idea.

"This ......" Zhang He also fell into contemplation when he heard this, this is indeed a problem, I didn't think of it just now, now that Xi Zhicai has put it forward, then he has to think about it, so Zhang He also fell into contemplation.

"That military advisor, I don't know what you can do?" Zhang He didn't come up with any good solution after thinking about it for a while, so he looked at Xi Zhicai and asked Xi Zhicai.

"Well, according to the Zhongzhi building, what we need when we retreat, but we can't retreat without doing anything, my idea is that we first leave a small force to retreat to the nearest county, and the large army will evacuate first, creating the illusion that our army is retreating to the city, and at this time Zhuge Liang will inevitably lead the army to attack, after the attack, we pretend not to let them into the city, and the city is ready to trap, kill Zhuge Liang by surprise, the time is almost later, the defenders of the army retreat." Xi Zhicai said to Zhang He when he heard this.

"Well, this plan is feasible, who wants to lead the team that doesn't know what to stay behind?" Zhang He nodded when he heard this, then looked at everyone and asked everyone.

"Just let me do it!" At this time, Xu Huang stood up and said to Zhang He.

"Well, Komeito has always been cautious, so I'll leave this matter to you! In addition, the two generals Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan also stay! The two generals are also military generals with the courage of ten thousand people, and staying can also help General Komeito. Zhang He nodded when he heard this, originally he also planned to let Xu Huang do this, after all, among the entire legion, the strongest ability to command troops is himself and Xu Huang, he is the main general of the three armies, and he can't break away from the army casually, so this matter can only be done by Xu Huang.

"We understand!" Xu Huang, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan stood up and said to Zhang He.

"Well, in that case, tonight General Komeito, you will first take some people to withdraw, prepare in the city, and General Xu Huang will arrange the specific instructions!" The rest is up to you. Zhang He looked at Xu Huang and said to Xu Huang.

"Understood!" Xu Huang nodded when he heard this, and then walked out with Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan. After the three of them left, the rest of the people also began to arrange the next retreat.

"Governor, I wonder what you're going to do next? General Wu Qi's arrival must have been received by Zhang He's side, and he didn't know what they would do next. On this side, Mei Changsu also found Zhuge Liang and said to Zhuge Liang. [.]
