Hearing Xiahou Xuan's words, Zhao Fei nodded slightly, Cao Jun is bound to win Jingzhou, and for Liu Bei, Zhao Fei will definitely not give him another chance this time. Now, Zhao Fei decided to use tens of thousands of troops of the Xiahoudun group to surround Xinye City, and this time, Liu Bei must not be allowed to escape again.

The Xiahoudun group army is no less than 50,000 troops, and if the whole army is dispatched, even if Zhuge Liang is resourceful, he still has no way to resist the Cao army, which is more than ten times his size. However, what worries Zhao Fei is that if the whole army of Cao Jun attacks, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei will jump off the wall in a hurry.

For Zhao Fei, what he was most worried about was that Liu Bei was creating conditions for his withdrawal under the guise of cherishing the masses. The people dragged their families and mouths to walk very slowly, but this also happened to make Liu Beijun and Cao Jun see a good separation zone.

In addition to covering their own withdrawal, if the soldiers of the Cao army killed the people in pursuit of Liu Beijun, then the idea of the Cao army wanting to occupy Jingzhou would definitely be shattered. As long as this reputation spreads, how will the people of Jingzhou support Cao Jun's rule. As the saying goes, only those who win the hearts of the people can get the world!

However, this is not that Zhao Fei doesn't want to do things and things won't happen, how can Liu Bei not pay attention to the movements of Cao Jun's tens of thousands of troops. When there was a slight movement in Cao Jun's place, Liu Bei hurriedly summoned Zhuge Liang, and Cao Jun's army attacked, and this matter has become Liu Beijun's top priority.

Liu Bei was anxious, but Zhuge Liang obviously didn't look in a hurry, and slowly appeared in front of Liu Bei and saw Zhuge Liang. Liu Bei's heart suddenly had a backbone, and Liu Bei believed that as long as Zhuge Liang was there, Liu Bei believed that Cao Jun's tens of thousands of troops were nothing at all.

However, although Liu Bei thought so, Zhuge Liang obviously didn't think so. Cao Jun commanded nearly 50,000 troops, but Liu Beijun only commanded 5,000 troops, one to ten, and compared with Cao Jun's strong combat effectiveness Cao Army, Liu Beijun wanted to achieve victory, it was obviously very difficult.

Liu Bei knew that if he stuck to Xinye City, Cao's army would inevitably besiege Xinye City. After the 50,000-strong army surrounded Xinye City, Liu Beijun didn't have any chance even if he wanted to break through. Therefore, Xinye City is bound to be unable to hold it, and Liu Beijun is not allowed to withdraw his troops from Jiangxia.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang had been silent for a long time and didn't speak, Liu Bei hurriedly asked, "Does Kong Ming have a good way to break the enemy?" Hearing Liu Bei's words, Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly and shook his head. The lord really thinks that Liang is an immortal, and in the face of Cao Jun's tens of thousands of troops, Liang has a good way to break the enemy! ”

"Cao's army is powerful, and the lord is definitely not Cao's opponent by virtue of Xinye. The target of the Cao army is Jingzhou, so our army should not be entangled with the Cao army in Xinye! Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice, only now there is a chance to withdraw the army, if it is too late, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Zhuge Liang's words are very easy to understand, that is, evacuate Xinye and don't have a head-to-head confrontation with Cao's army. For Zhuge Liang's plan, Liu Bei couldn't help but shake his head, Liu Bei let himself flee without a fight, if he did this, the morale of Liu Bei's soldiers would definitely suffer a huge blow.

"I hope the lord knows that now is not the time to be rash. When Zhao Fei attacked, 10,000 Cao troops almost conquered Xinye City. Now that the strength of the Cao army has increased dramatically to five times that of the original, does the lord think that under such a gap in strength, he can still hold Xinye City? Zhuge Liang said comfortingly.

Liu Bei frowned, after listening to Zhuge Liang's words, he really thought that withdrawing the army was undoubtedly the best way. But if he fled without a fight, Liu Bei's heart was somewhat unwilling. However, Liu Bei obviously couldn't be unwilling, but thinking about the loss of holding the city, Liu Bei finally ordered the withdrawal of the army.

After hearing the news, Guan Yu appeared in front of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang in a moment. Regarding retreating without a fight, Guan Yu obviously couldn't understand. When the Cao army attacked, although the battle was extremely hard, it was Liu Beijun who won the victory, so in Guan Yu's opinion, the Cao army was nothing at all.

Moreover, even if he wants to withdraw the army, he must let Cao Jun know that Liu Beijun will not easily choose to admit defeat. At least fight a few battles with Cao's army, and then talk about the withdrawal of troops. But now, Cao Jun's attack is just a rumor, and Liu Beijun is about to retreat in embarrassment, which obviously makes Guan Yu very annoyed.

"Cao's army of 50,000 is coming, Zhao Fei only led an army of 10,000 at the beginning, our army is no longer its opponent, 50,000 people, let me resist it!" Liu Bei said with some annoyance. Referring to the attack of the Cao army, Liu Bei's heart was obviously a little restless.

Liu Bei's anger obviously surprised Guan Yu a little, but Guan Yu didn't say anything more, just looked at Zhuge Liang angrily. After a while, Guan Yu spoke again: "In that case, the eldest brother will give me a thousand soldiers, and I will be responsible for blocking the chasing soldiers of the Cao army!" ”

Guan Yu seemed to know that there was no longer any possibility of moving the eldest brother. However, according to Cao Jun's understanding of Zhao Fei, Zhao Fei obviously would not let Liu Bei and his party go easily, and he would definitely send Cao Jun's elite troops to pursue Liu Beijun. If no one resists Cao Jun, it won't be long before Cao Jun catches up with Liu Beijun, and then Liu Beijun will be slaughtered. Without the protection of the city wall, Liu Beijun would not be Cao Jun's opponent.

As soon as Guan Yu's words were finished, Liu Bei rejected Guan Yu's request. Now that he only has two generals under his command, Guan Yu and Chen Zhi, if Guan Yu has any accidents again, he will face a situation where he has no generals available, Liu Bei obviously doesn't want such a thing to happen.

Guan Yu still wanted to persuade his brother, but at this time Zhuge Liang said: "General Guan is a particularly important general in our army, and we must not let the general put his life in danger as a last resort." I came to resist the pursuit of Cao's army, and the lord and the general retreated! ”

Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, both Liu Bei and Guan Yu were shocked, obviously neither Liu Bei nor Guan Yu expected that Zhuge Liang would say this. The first time he heard this, Liu Bei and Guan Yu denied Zhuge Liang's words together.

However, Zhuge Liang's expression was unquestionably firm, he looked at Liu Bei and Guan Yu, and then said loudly: "Whether it is the lord or General Guan, they all have to lead the army to fight, and I am the only idler, besides me, is there a better person to rent the chasing soldiers of the Cao army?" ”

Zhuge Liang's rhetorical question obviously made Guan Yu and Liu Bei not know how to answer, but Liu Bei's expression was also unquestionable, how much effort did he put in to make Zhuge Liang stand out from himself. And now that Zhuge Liang is going to do such a dangerous thing, Liu Bei naturally can't camp.

Guan Yu also objected to Zhuge Liang's opinion, for Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang was just a literati, and it was a joke to let him command the army to fight. A literati also wanted to command a large army to fight, so they just laughed and talked.

Seeing Liu Bei's resolute attitude, Zhuge Liang finally compromised: "If the lord is not at ease, how about leaving General Chen Zhi to me?" ”

Zhuge Liang's words finally made Liu Bei nod, with Chen Zhi's protection, at least he can protect Zhuge Liang safely. "There is one more thing, the lord who Liang wants to ask for the consent of the lord!" Seeing that Liu Bei finally agreed, Zhuge Liang spoke again. This time, his expression was a little strange, which made Liu Bei's heart faintly uneasy.

"Kong Ming, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Liu Bei said in a deep voice. Although I don't know what Zhuge Liang wants to say, but looking at Zhuge Liang's expression, what he wants to say must be unimportant. Otherwise, there is no need for Zhuge Liang to look so solemn.

"The Cao army was ferocious, and in the first battle of Xuzhou, the Cao army had the idea of slaughtering the people in the city. And today, the Cao army is attacking again, and it is obvious that it will not let go of the people in the city. Leaving the people in the city will inevitably be slaughtered by the Cao army, and we absolutely cannot let the people go! Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment and finally said.

After Zhuge Liang's words were finished, Liu Bei immediately understood Zhuge Liang's intentions. No wonder Zhuge Liang would be so cautious, what he said was actually this matter. Obviously, Zhuge Liang's intention was to mobilize all the people of Xinye City to evacuate with Liu Beijun.

It sounds simple, but it's actually quite difficult to do. You know, Shinno City has everything the people need, this is the place where the people live, and where can the people go if they leave here. Let the people go to Jiangxia with him, but when he arrives in Jiangxia, let these people live and let the people eat. In this regard, Liu Bei's heart was a little unbearable.

"Lord, now is not the time for a woman's kindness, and besides, I guess you can't bear to let the people of Xinye suffer the slaughter of Cao Jun!" Zhuge Liang asked in a deep voice, but Liu Bei knew that all this was just an excuse.

Reoccupying people is a huge project, and even if they are well prepared, many people will still die because of it. And now Liu Beijun has no preparations, how many people will die on the road here. What's more, there is Cao Jun chasing behind the people.

However, Zhuge Liang's decision obviously had no room for recovery, he looked at Liu Bei's expression, and then said in a deep voice: "If you want to successfully escape to Jiangxia, this move is imperative, and I hope that the lord does not want the kindness of a woman!" ”

Liu Bei thought about it for a while, and finally decided on Zhuge Liang's opinion. Liu Bei obviously didn't want to do this, but this was forced by the situation. Just like Zhuge Liang's words, if there were no people, Liu Beijun would definitely not have escaped the pursuit of Cao Jun.

There are many elite cavalry in Cao's army, but his thousands of troops are all on foot, even if they are day and night, the infantry cannot be faster than the cavalry. So, this move has to be done!
