When Chen Zhi left, Liu Bei turned to face Tian Feng.

"Yuan Hao, where are we talking about?"

Tian Feng shook his head: "I want to seek Xichuan." ”

"Yes!" Liu Bei continued, "Ma Teng's army was defeated too quickly, presumably the Cao thief wants to strike while the iron is hot, and take advantage of the situation to pocket Longxi, once the Cao thief succeeds, then the north will be determined, and there will be no more impact on the Cao thief." ”

At this point, Tian Feng immediately understood what Liu Bei meant: "The lord means ......"

Liu Bei nodded: "Let Yun Chang and Yide lead the army to approach Wancheng, where Cao Ren is stationed, just wave the flag and shout, scold the battle in front of the battle, and feint for a few days, the news will definitely reach Xu Du, and it will reach the ears of Cao Thief in five days." ”

Tian Feng nodded slowly: "In this way, the Cao thief will inevitably abandon Ma Teng and return to the aid of Xu Du, and at this time, the lord will retreat to Xinye and Sui County, which will not only relieve the siege of Ma Teng, but also weaken the strength of the Cao thief, which is really a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone." ”

Liu Bei took a deep breath and slowly spit out: "If that Cao thief insists on destroying Ma Teng before returning to help, then I don't mind taking Wancheng and going straight to his henchman!" ”

Tian Feng smiled: "With the wisdom of Cao Thief, he will definitely return for a thousand miles!" Perhaps, Cao Thief has sent people to support Wancheng, but we haven't detected it, I don't believe it, Cao Thief has suffered such a big loss, and he can't find anything. ”

Liu Bei thought so, after all, Cao Thief is a generation of male masters, and his head is very smart, and it is impossible to trip him twice with the same stone!

"If that's the case, then let Yun Chang and Yide take this opportunity to train their troops, Wancheng in the future will only be more difficult to deal with than today, and it is still beneficial to familiarize yourself with the environment in advance."

Liu Bei said indifferently.

Soldiers have to keep in a state of battle, but how can they maintain this state? Relying solely on training will not achieve such an effect at all, only by fighting, continuous fighting, can it be sustainable!

Liu Bei is not afraid of casualties, let alone the so-called failure, for him, a general who has not experienced defeat is imperfect and useless, and even he hopes to fail once, so that Guan Zhangzhao and others can maintain a calm mind.

Moreover!

Now Liu Bei occupies the important land of Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and under the continuous development of Tuntian and the frequent stimulation of various incentives, the population growth rate within his jurisdiction has exploded geometrically, and it will not take many years to support his development.

But in the same way, Cao Thief's money, food, taxes, and population are not comparable to Liu Bei, if Liu Bei needs two years to recover, then Cao Cao needs three years at most, how to expand the gap in this year, is a major problem that Liu Bei is currently facing.

It is precisely based on this consideration that Liu Bei must seek to seize Xichuan, strengthen himself, narrow the gap with Cao Thief, and wait until everything is ready, and the eternal war will definitely be played!

*****

Wancheng.

The cold wind howled.

In fact, it is not the cold wind, but the hearts of the people, and the morale of the soldiers who have not recovered after the defeat of the battle.

The sun on the edge of the sky hid in the clouds, burning half of the sky, and a person turned out of the wall of Wancheng, dressed in a strong and stubborn face, with a solemn complexion, and the daily routine was ordinary, regardless of the wind and rain, he would never be half a minute late.

This person is none other than Cao Cao's Fu General Cao Ren, who is nicknamed General Tiebi, and is nicknamed the General of the City Guard, because what he is best at is defending the city.

The soldiers in the city immediately raised their heads and looked ahead, waiting for them to pass by, and then they secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Whew! General Cao doesn't know why, it's always been ordinary in recent times, even more frequent than when the army was defeated. ”

"Whew! Don't you know? The prime minister led troops to crusade against Xiliang Ma Teng, and before leaving, he told him that he must guard against Liu Bei, and our general is more cautious and cautious! ”

"Oh, I see." The soldier suddenly realized, "Hey! Don't say it, Liu Bei is really a character, I want to be defeated again and again, defeated again and again, and he is just a state pastor in the end, but he can defeat the prime minister, tsk! ”

"Not really! Who would have thought that Jiangdong would be defeated so quickly, and our prime minister would fall into the hands of Liu Thief again, and he would lose a mess, and he also lost several generals for this, which is really worth the loss! ”

The soldier nodded with interest: "Hey brother, do you think Liu Bei will really come to attack the city?" Our Wancheng has more than 30,000 elite soldiers, and the city has been reinforced, if they hold on without a fight, they will take the city, not to mention 100,000 troops, right? Is there so many people in him Liu Bei? ”

"Well...... the soldier on the other side lowered his voice and said, "Brother, you can't understand it like this, then when did Liu Bei not win more with less, the prime minister waved his army south, but he had an absolute advantage in terms of troops, and didn't he fail in the end?" ”

"Makes sense!" The soldier nodded knowingly.

"Hey! We're just a soldier, why do you want to do so much, anyway, once the time comes, once the fight starts, you will have more eyes, and if you can't fight, you will run, it's not terrible to lose the city, don't lose your life! ”

The soldier smiled awkwardly, the truth is that this is the end, but is it the same thing to lose his life or not?

The two were chatting when suddenly a voice sounded: "Someone! ”

The generals' nerves immediately tensed, and they looked in the direction of the man's gun, but when they saw the dust flying and rising all over the sky, there seemed to be a dark cloud hanging above their heads, and a strong sense of depression surged into their hearts.

The dark clouds are getting closer and closer, and the soldiers of Wancheng can clearly feel the sound of the rumbling ground, and between the dust, the flags are faintly visible, and the capitalized "Guan" and "Zhang" flags are waving in the wind, which is very powerful and domineering.

The soldier was immediately stunned and blurted out: "Unexpectedly...... It's really coming! ”

I don't know when Cao Ren has returned to the city gate, looked at it with great eyes, and ordered: "The three armies listen to the order and prepare for battle!" ”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The dull sound of drums suddenly sounded, which was the signal of Cao Ren's early warning order, and all the subordinate departments in the city immediately entered a state of combat readiness, and the stones and logs kept being transported to the city, and the strong bows and crossbows had already been stretched, waiting for the arrival of the thieves.

Although Cao Ren subconsciously ordered the three armies to prepare for battle, he still couldn't help but suspect that it was not impossible to attack like this, but it was often fools who would do this, such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were famous generals in the world, would appear in such a way, which was really unexpected by Cao Ren.

After careful consideration, Cao Ren came to this conclusion: Xu is Guan is arrogant to the extreme, and he didn't take him seriously at all, thinking that he only needed a large army to suppress the border, and he could easily defeat himself and seek Wancheng!

Then in this battle, Cao Ren will go all out to prove to the world what kind of existence he is!

Cao Ren clenched his steel teeth with his mouth, and secretly said in his heart: "Big-eared thief, come on, how can I, Cao Ren, be afraid of you!" ”

It's close!

It's closer!

It's close again!

......

Cao Ren's heart was tightly gripped, he was looking forward to Guan Zhang entering the range of fire, but until the dust settled, the other party did not step into the range of fire for half a step, but ...... It's encamped, can you believe it?

Cao Ren just watched as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's army set up military tents little by little under his nose, until the sky was completely dark, and they did not attack!

And what about Cao Ren?

didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and even had to send someone to watch the night in case of a surprise attack by Guan Zhang!

Special! Is the thunder loud and the rain small?

Is this a Shenma strategy?
