Jiaozhou, Jiuzhen County.

After many days of fighting, Guan Yu recovered most of the land that originally belonged to Shu, except for Hanzhong, the entire Yizhou was completely recovered, the four counties of Jingnan got the three counties of Wuling, Guiyang and Lingling, and the entire Jiaozhou except for Nanhai County, almost all fell into the bag of the Shu army, the current Shu land across the three states of Jingjiaoyi, although Jingzhou and Jiaozhou are relatively poor, but there are millions of mountain people, Shu also learn from Liu He, Tuntian and Juntian system, I believe that as long as it is given more than ten years of development time, We will certainly be able to build these places into a country of abundance.

Of course, the current western region of Jiaozhou is not yet completely in the hands of the Shu army, because the army of Tai Shici and Lu Xun has not retreated, and now they are trapped in the Wubian City of Jiuzhen County, refusing to surrender and dying and struggling.

At this time, I saw Guan Yu's righteous son Guan Ping come to him and said to him: "Father, just now a messenger sent a handwritten letter from the Duke of Qin from Chang'an, saying that Sun Quan has led his troops to surrender, and now this Tai Shi Ci and Lu Xun are already generals under his command, and I implore my father to open the net and let them return to Jiangdong, or send them back to Chang'an." ”

When Guan Yu heard this, he immediately frowned, and then said: "Tai Shi Ci was a fierce general at that time, although Lu Xun was young, he was also the best in the world, if these two people obeyed the Duke of Qin, they would definitely make him like a tiger with wings and greatly increase his strength, and although the land of my Xishu is not small, but there is a real lack of talents, now that the State of Wu has perished, our army has no object to ally with, our army is far away from the Duke of Qin, if these two people are allowed to return to obedience, the gap between them will become bigger and bigger, once the Duke of Qin leads the army to call, Then we will be defeated even worse, and press this letter first, and then I will put further pressure on Tai Shici and Lu Xun first, if we can force them to surrender, our army will be able to obtain one more peerless fierce general and a top military advisor, if we explain this to Qin Gong, even if he is unhappy, he will not be able to blame us. ”

"No"! At this moment, I saw the military advisor Liao Li open his mouth and objected: "Junhou, although your worries are not unreasonable, but the more now, the more we can't let Qin Gong find a reason to attack us, if the prince gives Tai Shici and Lu Xun to Qin Gong, Qin Gong thinks of our sincerity, and it is estimated that he will not do anything to us, but if Junhou forcibly recruits Tai Shici and Lu Xun, it will definitely cause Qin Gong's dissatisfaction, and then he will attack us for this reason." As the saying goes, there is no excuse for the crime of wanting to add, and it is too easy for him to find a reason to attack us. ”

"No, Gongyuan, you don't understand, with the demise of the Wu army, no matter what, it is a matter of time before our army and the Duke of Qin turn against each other, and there is no need for me to give him talents like Tai Shici and Lu Xun at this time." Guan Yu rejected the proposal of cooking this time, and said categorically.

"But in this way, the war will definitely be advanced, and if our army does not make long-term preparations, there is no hope of winning at all." Liao Li said with a sad face.

Guan Yu waved his hand, and said unhappily: "Gongyuan, don't say it again, this matter is so decided, pass the order, assemble the army, and launch a general attack the next day, the other party is close to running out of food, and the morale is declining prematurely, as long as we attack at any cost, the other party will definitely not be able to resist, it just so happens that now the blue-eyed child has surrendered, and the other party has no owner, this is the best time for our army to take the opportunity to subdue it." ”

Liao Li listened to Guan Yu's words, and suddenly sighed secretly in his heart, in fact, how could he not know? Guan Yu's judgment is actually correct, as long as he leads the army to attack for a few days, the other party will definitely open the city and surrender, and even if he does not surrender, he will be killed by the rebels who are waiting for the opportunity to launch a rebellion because of hunger. However, he couldn't watch this Tai Shi Ci and Lu Xun surrender to Sun Quan, in that case, wouldn't it be in vain for Guan Yu to get a great benefit?

Therefore, Liao Li must find a way to secretly prevent such a result from happening.

Although Liao Li is not a top military advisor, after all, 96's intelligence is here, so after just a little thought, he came up with a clever plan.

Liao Li pretended to recognize his mistake and admit his mistake to Guan Yu, and then advocated going outside the city to investigate the military situation in person in order to make a good decision.

Guan Yu listened to Liao Li's words, and his heart was very happy, but he said that it was more dangerous to go in person, so it was better to send soldiers to go, but in order to "forgive the sin", he insisted on going in person, and said that only by going in person could he formulate a targeted strategy to break the enemy.

Seeing that Liao Li was so insistent, Guan Yu had no choice but to agree, and ordered Guan Ping to select a few soldiers with good skills and flexible brains to follow in order to protect Liao Li.

Of course, Liao Li knew that on the one hand, he was sincerely concerned about her safety, and on the other hand, he also had the intention of sending soldiers to supervise him, but he did not say this, but pretended to be very grateful and agreed to Guan Yu's arrangement.

At dusk that afternoon, Liao Li led several relatives sent by Guan Yu to the city together, and walked around the city wall, only to find that there was a city wall that was a little loose, Liao Li was overjoyed when he saw this, pointed to this looseness and said: "Have you ever seen it?" God bless our army, and I believe that if the army attacks from now on early tomorrow morning, our army will definitely be able to win. ”

In fact, when Liao Li said this, he felt the interesting murderous aura here, and he knew that there must be enemy soldiers ambushed here, but this was exactly what he wanted, so he said so.

Although Liao Li's voice was not loud, it was enough for the soldiers of the Wu army inside the wall to hear.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a person in the city shouting, "Who is it? It is really hateful to dare to peek at the reality of our army! I'll let you taste my bow and arrow today. ”

When he had finished speaking, the man stretched out his arm and was about to shoot an arrow.

But I saw Liao Li say loudly: "The one on the city is Taishi Ziyi? I heard that you are good at shooting, and I came to you today to compete, but today's competition is different from the past, I will shoot you three arrows first, to see if you can dodge? I'll take you three more arrows next, I don't know if you dare to take my three arrows first? ”

Tai Shi Ci smiled when he heard this, and said with a contemptuous smile: "Hugh said that it was three arrows, even if it was to pick you up thirty arrows?" If you shoot it, if I dodge, I won't be a hero. ”

Liao Li nodded when he heard this, took out his bow and arrow from his back, shot an arrow at the city, and shouted, "Can you catch this arrow?" ”

But he didn't expect Tai Shi Ci to not even hide at all, he actually grabbed the feather arrow with his hand, and smiled disdainfully: "That's what you can do?" ”

Liao Li smiled faintly: "My ability can't be shown at close range, I'm the best at shooting arrows one hundred and fifty steps away, if it's really far away, you definitely can't dodge." ”

"Then you go one hundred and fifty paces away, and I'll see your magic arrow." Tai Shi Ci didn't think much about it, and watched Liao Li flee one hundred and fifty steps away. However, he didn't expect that after Liao Li arrived, he immediately fled and laughed loudly: "Tai Shici, you are in my plan, goodbye." ”

Then he ran away, Tai Shici sneered: "One hundred and fifty steps away, I will still let you have no escape." But when he took Liao Li's feather arrow and wanted to shoot, he was suddenly stunned, only to see a strip of cloth tied to the feather arrow, with a line of small characters written on it: "Three days later, Guan Gong will attack the city, and if you defend it for a long time, you will lose, so it is better to go away to Zhuyazhou." ”
