Under Zhang Liao's deliberate release of water, Lu Xun really lived up to their expectations, and when the defense of the 5,000 soldiers left in the rear was about to be unable to resist Zhang Fei's offensive, Lu Xun finally attacked Hefei.

This result made Zhang Fei almost angry, he had already died according to Zhuge Liang's strategy and saw the hope of success, but he was unexpectedly taken advantage of by Lu Xun's crazy move of sacrificing his sergeants, in Zhang Fei's heart, Lu Xun's doing this will not have any other results except for causing a lot of casualties to both sides, even if he occupies Hefei at this time, but once Zhang Fei attacks with all his strength, Lu Xun will definitely be difficult to parry.

All of this fell into the eyes of Sima Yi and Yang Xiu, Sima Yi still had a flat expression, and Yang Xiu was ready to see Sima Yi's plan fail, Cao Zhi trusted Sima Yi very much for some reason, and acted according to Sima Yi's ideas in everything, which made Yang Xiu have a very serious sense of crisis in his heart, so this time, he must see Sima Yi's miscalculation with his own eyes.

"The two gentlemen think that our army will observe for a while, or will we send troops to recapture the fat at this time? Lu Xun'er's small number of troops is not in the eyes of our army. ”

Zhang Liao's eyes at this time showed a strong self-confidence, originally under Cao Cao's command, his military talent was already undoubtedly revealed, but Cao Cao is almost paranoid confidence in his clan brothers, almost every expedition is to Cao surnamed or Xiahou surname as the main general, Zhang Liao was already the only few foreign surnames to be the commander of the march, but because of this, he was squeezed out by Cao Ren, Cao Hong and Xiahou brothers, which also caused many generals in the Cao army to dare not get too close to Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao's talent, and was suppressed for a short period of time.

Finally, when Cao Zhi found himself, and only explained that once he became the lord of Wei, then he would definitely give Zhang Liao a more important position than when his father was in power, at first, Zhang Liao, who had always been strict and indisputable, did not give Cao Zhi a positive answer, but when he saw that the generals of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan almost fell to Cao Pi.

He knew that it was time for him to make a decision, so, naturally, he became the first general to fall to Cao Zhi, and it was even more natural, and after Cao Zhi really took control of the Wei State, he almost regarded Zhang Liao as one of the most important generals, such a complicated situation, Cao Zhi sent Zhang Liao here, which is enough to see the weight of Zhang Liao in Cao Zhi's heart.

At this time, although Zhang Liao showed his strong self-confidence, Yang Xiu took the lead in waving his hand and said: "The lord has already given an order, so according to Mr. Zhongda's judgment, wait patiently to see if Zhuge Liang has any follow-up moves, but in case Mr. Zhongda makes a mistake in judgment and Hefei is occupied by Zhang Fei, then General Wenyuan will definitely be able to recapture it, right?" ”

Obviously, Yang Xiu's words were full of spikes, pointing directly at Sima Yi, how could Zhang Liao not hear it, so he could only smile slightly, and said: "Liao is a military general, everything can only be done according to the words of the two gentlemen, no matter who temporarily occupies my Hefei land, Liao will eventually take it back!" ”

In this way, Zhang Liao still did not move, but still stared closely at the movement in Hefei City, and also stared at Zhang Fei's belongings to see if there would be any changes behind him.

Zhang Fei was furious, and directly waved the army to capture Hefei, and Lu Xun was also stubbornly defending Hefei, and sent a messenger overnight, intending to send the news back to Jiangdong, but obviously, his messenger would not really return to Jiangdong, this person was intercepted by the rangers under Zhang Liao just after leaving the city, but unfortunately, so the person was loyal and righteous, and he did not tell the details of Lu Xun's soldiers and horses in Hefei City until his death, but such an act was to ask Sun Quan for help Undoubtedly, so Zhang Liao and others judged that Lu Xun was most likely unable to resist Zhang Fei's wave of attacks.

The tragic offensive and defensive battle between Zhang Fei and Lu Xun lasted for three days, and Lu Xun in the city obviously had the idea of waiting for Jiangdong reinforcements in his heart, and the fighting spirit was still very strong, which caused Zhang Fei to fail to attack the city several times, and he also lost a lot of men and horses these days.

This time, even Yang Xiu was quite glad that they were still ambushing here, once they couldn't bear it before, then most of them would be attacked by Zhang Fei, although Zhang Fei was a little reckless, but the ability to command the army was by no means under Guan Yu.

Time came to the fourth day of Zhang Fei's siege, originally Zhang Fei would lead the army to carry out a wave of fierce attacks every day after dawn, but on this day, he was unusual, and he did not make any action until noon, this news soon reached the ears of Sima Yi and Yang Xiu, both of them knew that with Zhang Fei's temperament, this situation must have been affected by an external force, and this external force is naturally very likely to be the back hand of Zhuge Liang in this battle that Sima Yi guessed before.

"Since Mr. Zhongda had guessed that Zhuge Liang would have a back hand at this time, I wonder if Zhang Fei's delay in attacking the city today is really related to this matter?"

Although Sima Yi's expression was not willing to leak out, how could he not see Yang Xiu's hostility towards him, so at this time, under Yang Xiu's questioning, Sima Yi just replied lightly: "If it is according to what I expected, it can be seen before and after today, and at that time, General Wenyuan will know whether he needs to send troops, it will be clear at a glance." ”

Seeing that Sima Yi was still selling the pass to him, Yang Xiu had to snort coldly and stopped asking, on top of this matter, Sima Yi's far-reaching thinking really exceeded Yang Xiu, so Yang Xiu was a little unwilling to follow him, especially at this time, he racked his brains and couldn't figure out what Zhuge Liang had to do, and he felt more and more resentment towards Sima Yi in his heart, and what he was thinking about was not how to cooperate with Sima Yi to win this battle at all, but how to join Sima Yi in front of Cao Zhi after returning to Yecheng.

Sure enough, just as Sima Yi said, throughout the day, Zhang Fei was surprisingly unmoved, and all the soldiers and horses under his command were gathered in the camp, of course, Lu Xun in the city did not relax his vigilance because of this, even at night, the city wall was also brightly lit, obviously guarding against Zhang Fei all the time.

Just when Sima Yi and Yang Xiu, who were silently watching the situation in Hefei, were already a little sleepy and couldn't hold on, someone suddenly came to report that there was already a lot of movement in Zhang Fei's military camp.
