"Cai Mao has left Xiangyang and is missing, most of whom went to mobilize the Jingzhou sergeants so that they can be used to invite merit when Cao is surrendered." Liu Feng sighed and said truthfully, in other words, when he was leaving, he told Meng Yao that his plan had failed at this time.

When Meng Yao heard this, he didn't have much regret, but just comforted: "It's good that the general has nothing to do, even if Cai Mao is killed today, I am afraid that many generals in Xiangyang City will not be able to control it alone, it is better to wait for the imperial uncle to arrive, and then make plans." ”

Meng Yao is only loyal to Liu Feng alone, naturally she doesn't want Liu Feng to do such risky things, she knows that with Liu Feng's martial arts, even if Cao Cao's 500,000 army arrives, she can escape with her life when she can't do anything, she knows that Liu Feng is not very human, and she looks forward to Liu Feng's self-reliance.

"Today's matter, I'm afraid it's the only way, I have a fierce general in Xiangyang City, this person will soon join our army, when the two of you try your best to make friends with him, so that I can take it under my command."

Liu Feng saw that there was no one around at this time, so he told the two of them about Wei Yan, and told him that he had Wei Yan's determination, Meng Yao was quick-witted, and naturally knew that Liu Feng was cultivating strength at this time, so he kept this person in mind.

With the two of them to set a strategy, Liu Feng sent the two to rest, knowing that when the front of Cao's army was defeated, it would definitely anger Cao Cao and attract 500,000 troops, and at that time, it would be the time when Liu Bei's army was in danger of survival, if Xiangyang could not be obtained, Liu Bei's army could escape to Jiangxia, only two or three out of ten.

When it was dawn, Liu Feng had to report that Liu Bei led the generals to Fancheng, Liu Feng hurried out of the city to greet him, only to see Liu Bei leading the generals, the momentum was extraordinary, and it was obvious that he had won the battle.

When the army entered Fancheng, everyone went to check whether his family members were damaged, and Liu Feng came to Liu Bei to make a difference.

This time to escort his family and the people, Liu Feng did not do anything else, and Zhuge Liang had nothing to say, so he had to praise Liu Feng in front of Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was overjoyed at this time, and told Liu Feng about Zhuge Liang's use of fire to burn Xinye, obviously thinking that this heavy blow to the front of Cao's army would definitely make Cao Cao think twice.

"Father, with all due respect, that Cao Cao is a traitor in the world, this time I came, I am determined to annihilate our army's will, its front is blocked, when the 500,000 army is ready, it will definitely blow to Fancheng, Xiangyang has already voted for Cao Cao, if you don't plan early, I am afraid that you will be attacked before and after, and then the big event will be suspended!"

As soon as Liu Feng's words came out, Liu Bei's face was not happy, obviously he was also aware of the urgency of the situation, and hurriedly looked at Zhuge Liang next to him, Zhuge Liang also had a grim face, bowed his head slightly, and agreed with Liu Feng's words.

"Ziwei, what do you think should happen at this time? Now that we have just defeated Cao's army and entered Fancheng, if we evacuate immediately, not to mention where to go, the morale of our army is gone. ”

Liu Beigang led the army here, very reluctant to leave again, Liu Feng saw that Zhuge Liang did not intervene at this time, and did not know what he planned in his heart, so he simply told Liu Bei and the others his plan to see how he reacted: "Feng thinks that at this time, Wanwan Fancheng cannot live for a long time, and should leave as soon as possible, and there are only two places that can relieve this siege." ”

"Where?" Liu Bei hurriedly asked. And Zhuge Liang also opened his eyes slightly, showing that he was quite interested in Liu Feng's two places, Liu Feng saw Zhuge Liang's expression, and knew that he also had a plan in his heart, but he didn't know if the two of them thought the same.

"One, you can cross the Han River to take Xiangyang, Liu Cong is young, the people of Xiangyang all admire his father's prestige, it is better to take Xiangyang, take Liu Cong and replace it, Jingzhou soldiers a total of more than 200,000, but also tens of thousands of water army, Cao Jun is a person from the north, do not like water wars, if you can get half, it is enough to resist Cao Cao's army, retreat Cao Army, our army will be based on Jingzhou, gradually expand, and compete for the world; The only way to do this is to go to Jiangxia quickly, and Liu Qi's son has gained a firm foothold in Jiangxia. His father was kind to him, and Liu Qi's son was at odds with Cai Mao, Cai Mao surrendered to Cao Cao, Liu Qi must not surrender, and when he arrived in Jiangxia, he could reject Cao Cao's army far away, wait for him to withdraw his army, and then slowly map the land of Jingzhou. ”

Liu Feng's two strategies, one advance and one retreat, do not rush to fight with Cao Cao's army, Liu Bei listened to it, and also knew the truth, but after a while, Liu Bei hesitated.

"Then Liu Cong and I are uncles and nephews, if Xiangyang is taken at this time, Jingsheng has just died, where will I put it? This is unfaithfulness and unrighteousness, and it must not be so. ”

Liu Feng sighed again after hearing this, Liu Bei cherishes his reputation, Liu Feng can understand a thing or two, but at this critical moment, Liu Bei still cares about his reputation, Liu Feng is also quite helpless in his heart, knowing that this plan is useless. At this time, Liu Bei said again: "If you go to Jiangxia, it will be a way out, what does the military advisor think?" ”

Obviously, Liu Bei already wanted to temporarily retreat to Jiangxia in order to have an aftereffect, but Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, and said to Liu Bei: "General Ziwei's plan is feasible, but the situation of our army is critical, and we can't trust Jiangxia's army, so it's better to send Yun Chang to rush to Jiangxia with five hundred cavalry, notify Liu Qi in advance, and tell him to prepare early, I might as well abandon Fancheng and go to Jiangling first, if I can get Jiangling, it will be enough to refuse Cao's army outside the city." ”

Liu Feng listened, and sighed again in his heart, Zhuge Liang was so reluctant to seek the near and far, not only wanted to fulfill Liu Bei's wish to preserve his reputation, but also did not want Liu Bei to show a rout and flee, so he came up with this compromise method, so that Liu Bei's army, without losing more than half, was afraid that it would be difficult to reach Jiangxia.

Zhuge Liang's strategies were all in line with Liu Bei's intentions, and he was naturally appreciated by Liu Bei, and after a short time, Liu Bei decided to act in accordance with Zhuge Liang's strategy. Guan Yu can be sent to Jiangxia for help, and then he will teach the army and horses to rest for a day, and the next day he will abandon Fancheng and go to Jiangling.

Seeing that the matter had come to this, Liu Feng returned to the camp and instructed Meng Yao and Li Chuang to be careful all the way, and leave when encountering enemy troops, only to save their lives first.

At dawn the next day, Liu Bei taught the army to be well equipped, bring enough dry food, and want the whole army to rush to Jiangling.

Liu Bei is the most soft-hearted, and he can't see the people like this, even though Zhuge Liang tried his best to persuade him, he still obeyed the people's request.

So, Liu Bei took 10,000 troops and more than 100,000 people to set off.

At this time, the soldiers outside the door flew to report that Cao Jun had sent a messenger to come, but he didn't know what it meant.
