"Prime Minister, Guan Yu left and entered Chen Liucheng, his subordinates were incompetent and didn't catch up." When Yan Liang, who had unsuccessfully pursued Guan Yu, had just found Cao De, Cao De was standing on the edge of a new grave.

"If you don't catch up, you don't catch up." Cao De muttered, then squatted down and stroked the soil on the new grave with his palm, "Send the catapult to Zhao Yun's camp, and in two days, I will receive news that Liu Ye has also fled back to Chenliu!" ”

"No!" Pei Yuanshao agreed, and immediately began to organize the soldiers to prepare to tow the catapult that had just written down the great work to Zhao Yun's camp.

It is said that Guan Yu had just returned to Chen Liucheng, and Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang took the initiative to greet him.

"Lord, military advisor, Guan Mou......"

"General Guan doesn't have to blame himself, this battle is not the general's fault. Since Cao De used catapults, even if the general did not go out of the camp to fight, the camp would be reduced to ashes after a few days. Zhuge Liang sighed, and seemed to be worried. General Guan, let's go and rest first. In a few days, there will definitely be another big battle, and then the generals will need to fight Cao De. ”

Guan Yu gestured to Liu Bei with a fist, turned his head and left. And Zhuge Liang said directly to Liu Bei: "Lord, immediately give an order to let the three generals and General Zhang come back." ”

"Huh? Why? "Since Zhuge Liang defeated Cao Cao, Liu Bei has paid more attention to Zhuge Liang. Although Cao Cao was not found in the end, Zhuge Liang had already made Cao Cao's group face collapse and disintegration, so Liu Bei still trusted Zhuge Liang's ability. However, Zhuge Liang had just come up with a defense-oriented policy towards the enemy, and it seemed that he was going to completely overturn his plan. So, why?

"Cao De has already used a catapult, and our Chen Liucheng will only become a burden to us. In this way, there is only one war. ”

Because of the existence of catapults, even if Liu Bei stayed in ten Chen Liucheng at the moment, it would be useless. And, stay in the city. It's a live target.

However, Liu Bei's order was still a little late, and when Liu Bei's military order was conveyed to the battalions, Cao De's twelve catapults had already begun to bombard Zhang Tong's camp.

By the time the armies withdrew to Chenliucheng, Liu Bei had lost nearly 10,000 horses. Originally, Liu Bei and Cao De's strength was in a weak position compared to each other, but now it is ......

The loss of soldiers is only one aspect, but those Liu soldiers who have been ravaged by catapults continue to convey a kind of fear, a fear of catapults, a fear of Cao De.

Five days later, when Liu Bei was convening the generals under his command to discuss the meeting, a soldier suddenly entered the meeting hall. "Lord, there is a person outside the city who claims to be Zhang Liao, who has come to give the lord a war letter!"

Liu Bei was stunned, and sure enough, he came!

"Please come in!" The two armies fought without slashing, and before Liu Bei could speak, Zhuge Liang had already given the order.

"Who's coming?" Although Liu Bei had seen Zhang Liao a long time ago, but now that the two armies are facing each other, momentum is very important.

"Hanzhong Zhengdong General Zhang Liao is also!" Zhang Liao, who was wearing Mingguang armor and carrying a big red cloak behind his back, said without flinching.

"Zhang Liao, you are not in Hanzhong, what are you doing when your general Zhengdong ran to our Chen Liulai? Could it be that you are going to join our lord? Lu Yi couldn't help but sneer.

"Hmph, little Liu Bei, I can't settle down with my great god!" Zhang Liao glanced at Lu Yi and continued: "Dare to ask which general this is who has been defeated repeatedly?" ”

"Zhang Liao! Don't be rampant. Be careful that you come in vertically and go out horizontally. Lu Yi said fiercely.

"Haha...... Liu Bei! Don't think that if you kill me Zhang Liaoru, you can sit back and relax. The prime minister has tens of millions of elite soldiers and 10,000 generals. How can your little Liu Bei resist it. In order to save his life, Uncle Huang should surrender quickly! ”

After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he took out Cao De's letter, handed it to a guard on the side, and was about to turn around and leave, "Uncle Liuhuang, there is no need to set up a banquet to entertain Zhang." Zhang goes too! Oh yes, this general, do you want to kill me? Haha......"

"Someone, send off!" Although Liu Bei's beard was curled up with anger, he still held back. If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan. Although it is indeed a pleasure to kill Zhang Liao now, the gains outweigh the losses.

After Zhang Liao left, Zhuge Liang stepped forward and took Cao De's war book, and before he could open it and take a look, another soldier came running, "Lord, someone in the south of the city asks to see you." This person is masked, this is a token! ”

————

Two days later, ten miles west of Chen Liucheng City.

Cao De led an army of 80,000 and had already met Liu Bei.

"Brother Xuande, I haven't seen you for many years, do you dare to come and talk about it?" Pei Yuanshao drove the carriage, Cao De had already left the formation, and came directly to the center of the two armies, Cao De also enthusiastically took out two cups and poured wine.

"Haha, Brother Anbang invited, how dare Xuande disobey!" Liu Bei laughed, and the horse was about to come.

Suddenly!

"Xuande is not in a hurry, I heard that Xuande has just recruited Zhuge Kongming. Kong Ming, why don't you come and talk about it too! Cao De took out another quilt and said to the only young man dressed as a Confucian beside Liu Bei.

"Haha...... I have long heard that Cao Gong's wine is unparalleled in the world, and I finally saw it today, so I couldn't miss it. Lord, let's go! Zhuge Liang laughed and gladly accepted Cao De's invitation. For the legend of Cao De, Zhuge Liang is actually full of curiosity. Now we can finally see each other.

"Xuande, Kong Ming, please!" On Cao De's carriage, Cao De picked up his wine glass. "Cao Gong, please!"

The three of them flicked their sleeves, picked up the cup and drank it all, "Ah! Wine! Xuande, I haven't drunk my Hanmei wine for more than ten years, how is this wine? ”

"The wine of Anbang is still so mellow. One more drink today is enough! "The only topic of discussion is wine!

"What does Kong Ming think? Why don't I send you a dozen altars? Cao De smiled and turned his head and looked at Zhuge Liang.

"Then thank you Cao Gong for your kindness!" Zhuge Liang accepted it without hesitation.

"I have heard that Zhuge Kongming has an immortal talent. When I see it today, Kong Ming is just a doll, what insight can he have? Well? "The current Zhuge Liang is only in his twenties, and he is not much older than Cao Fan. Although Cao De values Zhuge Liang very much, it is also Zhuge Liang after a long battle. How many catties and taels does Zhuge Liang have now, Cao De really wants to test it.

"As far as I know, when Cao Gong raised his army to fight against the Yellow Turbans, he was only in the year of the weak crown. Moreover, most of the talents under Cao Gong's command are rising stars. Could it be ......" Zhuge Liang didn't say the rest of the words, but glanced at Cao De playfully.

"Haha......" Cao De looked at Zhuge Liang's eyes and immediately smiled, "It's really not a bully to be poor!" My fault! A glass of wine! ”

"Kong Ming has compared himself with Ma Chao and Zhang Liao under my command, dare to ask Kong Ming, how is this big man?"

"Cao Gong is wrong again!" Zhuge Liang did not answer Cao De directly, but first opened the topic.

"Oh? What could I be wrong? ”

"Ma Chao, Zhang Liao, according to Kong Ming, are just a martial artist, and they are not afraid of force! Kong Ming only needs to move his fingers to turn these two into ashes! Zhuge Liang said with a smile on his face.

"Hmm! Terrible! Cao De couldn't help but give Zhuge Liang a thumbs up. That's just the courage of the horseman, Kong Ming's words, I believe! It seems that I am wrong again! ”
