Now all Liu Bei has to do is to wait patiently, the day Cao Cao's army goes south is the time when Liu Bei escapes from Xiangyang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A few days later, Liu Biao received a military report that the vanguard troops of Cao Cao's army had arrived at the border of Jingzhou, and only waiting for Cao Cao's order to attack Jingzhou at the same time in several ways.

Liu Bei knew that the time was ripe, so he quickly met Liu Biao and asked for his life.

Although Liu Biao agreed to Liu Bei's request to send troops, the conditions put forward were extremely harsh.

Although there are more than 10,000 soldiers in Liu Bei's current military camp, 7,000 of them were allocated to him by Liu Biao from his own army after coming to Xiangyang.

Seeing that Jingzhou was about to ignite a war, Liu Biao would naturally not be so generous and let Liu Bei take away these seven or eight thousand people.

Of course, Liu Biao's reason is indeed understandable, after all, Cao Cao's army is divided into several ways to attack, with all the troops in Jingzhou now, every battlefield will be very tight, although these seven or eight thousand troops can not play a decisive role, but it is better than nothing.

In this way, Liu Bei's own troops were less than 5,000 people left, and the place he was sent to was a large city, and it was a fool's dream to use this 5,000 people to defend it.

Liu He didn't say anything, but he knew very well in his heart that the place where Liu Bei was sent was Xinye, and Cao Cao's 100,000 troops would come to the city at any time, and this less than 5,000 defenders was indeed a bit of a mantis arm.

The art of war has clouds, ten are encircled, five are attacked, and multiple is divided.

It means that when your own forces are ten times that of the enemy, you only need to surround them, because of such a large disparity in strength, it is impossible for the opponent to break through, so as long as you cut off its water source, and then wait for the defenders to run out of food and grass, you can attack itself.

If Cao Cao knew that Xinye was defended by Liu Bei, while sending a large army, he would inevitably send his generals to lead the troops.

Once Cao Cao's army is allowed to form an encirclement of Xinye, Liu Beijun will become a turtle in an urn, and it is only a matter of time before the city is broken.

At present, the top priority is to first recruit a certain number of troops to strengthen the defenders of Xinye, as long as the number of troops exceeds 10,000, you can get the opportunity to confront Cao Cao's army, and at that time, Liu He's foresight and Zhuge Liang's magic calculation can play a role.

But where can I go to recruit troops at this time?

Xiangyang, where he is now, is a place with a large population, but Liu Xian is already unable to protect himself, and it is obviously impossible to openly recruit troops under his nose.

And if they go to Xinye to recruit troops, it will inevitably leave a bad impression on the local people that they will be sent to death as soon as the garrison is stationed, which is also very unwise. After all, if you want to hold a city, you need the people and the garrison to work together to get twice the result with half the effort.

And even if the people of Xinye are willing to join Liu Beijun to defend the city together, it will not be a combat force that can be put into defense immediately, at best, it can only be regarded as a militia.

Liu Bei was helpless, he could only hope for the two gentlemen around him, although Zhuge Liang used soldiers like a god, but it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and she was powerless in this matter.

Liu He was also at a loss, since Liu Bei brought back the news of entering Xinye, Liu He, who returned to the Tianji Camp, rushed into his room and did not come out for two hours.

Although the people of Tianji Camp could feel the seriousness of the situation after learning about what had happened, they also knew that no one could help Liu He in this matter, so although they were anxious, they could only stand at the door of Liu He's room quietly, not daring to disturb easily.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard gate, and Wei Xiao turned his head to look, and immediately stepped forward to greet him as if he had seen a savior.

"Mr. Wolong, you came just in time, as soon as our leader came back, he locked himself in the room, and he didn't open the door when we delivered food to him, you hurry up and help us take a look, don't let anything happen to the boss inside."

Facing the anxious Wei Xiao, Zhuge Liang, who was frowning, nodded slightly, but he knew the situation better than anyone else in his heart, but he was like falling into an ice cellar.

Originally, he had no choice but to come to the Tianji Camp to see if Liu He could come up with any countermeasures, but as soon as he heard Wei Xiao's words, and then looked at the closed door in front of him, he knew that Liu He was still thinking hard like himself.

He took the tray from Xiao Yu'er's hand and walked to the door of Liu He's room.

Looking at the plates of food on the tray that had been hot for an unknown number of times, he seemed to hesitate, for fear that his knock on the door would interrupt Liu He's train of thought, but after a few thoughts, he still raised his hand.

But before he could knock, the door suddenly opened.

"I'm starving, give it to me, let me eat two bites first."

Liu He, who saw that his eyes were shining brightly, snatched the tray, and didn't bother to say a few polite greetings to Zhuge Liang, sat on the threshold, put the tray on his legs, and then devoured it.

Looking at Liu He, who had nothing to eat, everyone in the Tianji Camp finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as people know that they are hungry, there will be no major problems.

Zhuge Liang did not rush to ask Liu He if he had already come up with a countermeasure, but walked directly into Liu He's room.

When he came to the table and saw a map on it, his calm appearance suddenly became nervous, and he pointed to a mark on the map and asked in an incredulous tone, "Do you want to go to this place?" ”

Liu He, who was sitting on the threshold, didn't look back, his mouth was full of food, and he let out a vague "um".

Zhuge Liang stared at the map carefully for a while, but his brows became more and more wrinkled.

"Although this is also a way to do it, how sure can you be?"

Liu He swallowed the food in his mouth, put the tray on his legs aside, turned his head and grinned.

"You all like to ask this question, what can only be done with 100% certainty?"

"When is it, can you be serious?"

Zhuge Liang, who has always been mild-mannered, suddenly slammed the table, and a teacup on the table was shocked to the ground and shattered on the spot.

Liu He looked at the debris on the ground with a calm expression.

"I know this seems ridiculous to you, and you would never do it, but someone has to do it. Although we are brothers, our tempers are diametrically opposed, you are a cautious person, and I, as soon as that energy comes up, I don't care about anything. ”

Zhuge Liang's face was gloomy, and he was silent for a long time without speaking.

"But I promise you, I won't die there." Liu He smiled brightly, "In addition to you, I also have these brothers behind me." ”

Zhuge Liang looked into the courtyard and saw that everyone in the Tianji Camp was smiling, but their eyes were extremely resolute.
