Liu Bei nodded slightly, but he was obviously still a little unconfident, because until now, Liu Jun didn't know who the commander of the 10,000 Cao Army was. I don't know who is in charge, Liu Beijun obviously has no way to set the rules for confronting Cao Jun first.

"Strategist, haven't found out who is in charge yet?" Liu Bei asked with a hint of eagerness. Obviously, Liu Bei obviously cares a lot about who is handsome. After all, each general has the style of each general leading the troops to fight, so if he understands the enemy generals first, Liu Bei obviously has more chances of winning.

However, Xu Shu's answer obviously disappointed Liu Bei, only to see Xu Shu shake his head slightly, and then said helplessly: "I still hope that the lord is to blame, our army scouts have inquired several times, but they have not found out who is in command of Cao's 10,000 army." Cao Jun went out day and night, and in order to hang the commander's flag, it was really difficult for our army scouts to do anything! At the end, Xu Shu sighed helplessly, what Cao Jun was hiding was secret, and he obviously had nothing to do.

As soon as Xu Shu finished speaking, Guan Yu in the hall snorted coldly. The discord between Guan Yu and Xu Shu is a well-known thing for Liu Jun, so no one is surprised by this situation. Regarding the discord between these two people, everyone felt helpless.

One is the second brother of the lord, while the other is the lord's important minister. Neither of them can be easily offended. Besides, Liu Bei had no way to break the fight between the two, and everyone obviously wouldn't join in the fun.

Regarding Guan Yu's cold snort, Liu Bei didn't seem to hear it. He looked at Xu Shu, and then said in a deep voice: "Since the Cao army has the intention to conceal it, no matter how many scouts our army sends will obviously be useless, but how should our army deal with the next battle?" ”

Xu Shu pondered for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "In my opinion, instead of sitting in Xinye City, it is better to take the initiative to attack. After all, if we wait for the Cao army to attack, our army will have no way to retreat, but if we go out of the city to fight with the Cao army, even if we are defeated, our army can still retreat to the city! ”

Listening to Xu Shu's words, Liu Bei suddenly fell into deep thought. Obviously, he felt that Xu Shu's plan was a bit risky sometimes. After all, in terms of elite, he is obviously not Cao Jun's opponent. After all, in the last battle with Cao Jun, the elite under Liu Bei's command was completely damaged.

Although these soldiers are now in combat power, compared with the elite soldiers won by Cao Jun, Liu Bei's soldiers are just rookies. They hadn't even seen blood, and they had to face Cao Jun, a rare elite combat force in the world, so Liu Bei was naturally very hesitant.

However, Xu Shu is very right, if he fights with Cao Jun in the field, even if his own army fails, he can still retreat to Xinye City. However, if he was stationed in Xinye City, once he was defeated, he would have nothing, and there would be no dangerous place to delay Cao's army.

It can be said that if Xinye Castle can't hold it, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to retreat. Therefore, there is a dilemma in front of me now. No matter which one you choose, you have to give up an advantage.

"My lord, the Cao army, the 10,000 Cao army, is just a vanguard army. After the 10,000 Cao army, there are tens of thousands of Cao army. You must know that the tens of thousands of people in Xiahoudun are still standing still, if the tens of thousands of Cao troops attack again, what will our army use to resist! Looking at Liu Bei, who was hesitant, Xu Shu said in a deep voice.

Xu Shu's words obviously woke up Liu Bei, indeed, the 10,000 Cao army is just the vanguard of the Cao army. Behind these 10,000 people, there are tens of thousands of troops of Xiahoudun. And behind Xiahoudun's tens of thousands of troops, there are Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops.

Now I am indeed a little one-sided, and I am also a little deflated. In the face of Cao Jun's 10,000-strong army, he lost the courage to fight against it. If Cao's tens of thousands of troops attacked, would he really surrender without a fight? Xu Shu's words were like an alarm bell just now, and Liu Bei's head buzzed.

"What the military advisor said is that he is indeed preparing for war. Cao's army was only 10,000 soldiers, but I lost the courage to compete with it. Here, I want to make amends for the sins! Liu Bei got up and said to Xu Shu with some apologies. If it weren't for Xu Shu's awakening, he was afraid that he would still be so cowardly.

Xu Shu bowed slightly, but there was obviously a slight smile on his face. Xu Shu just hoped that Liu Bei's fighting spirit could be re-burned, and in the first battle of that year, Liu Bei's losses were so heavy that the monument had a lot of fear for Cao Jun.

Although Liu Bei had experienced a fiasco before, he had never experienced such a tragedy after the defeat of the Cao army. In the battle with Cao's army, Liu Bei's tens of thousands of troops were killed and wounded, and in the end, Liu Bei fled from that sad place with only a few hundred soldiers.

Not only did the soldiers suffer heavy losses, but even their second and third brothers were captured by Cao Jun, Guan Yu escaped from death and escaped from Cao Jun's wolf den, but the third brother Zhang Fei was deeply trapped in Cao Jun and couldn't extricate himself. Moreover, not only did he break the third brother Zhang Fei, but also Jian Yong, who had been born and died with Liu Bei, was also nowhere to be found.

For this blow, although Liu Bei behaved as if nothing happened, everyone knew how Liu Bei could be casual. That's his sworn brother, that's the little one who met Liu Bei when he was young. With the loss of two such important people, how could Liu Bei be indifferent.

The battle with Cao's army is obviously not bad at all in terms of losing soldiers and turning into the future. Liu Bei lost his troops so much, so it was obviously normal for him to feel afraid of Cao Junwei in his heart. Even Xu Shu was a little afraid of Cao Jun, especially Cao Jun under the leadership of Zhao Fei, which made Xu Shu feel even more afraid.

It can be said that Xu Shu's fear is not actually Cao Jun, but Zhao Fei. He has been studying in Jingzhou for so long, but the longer he studied, the more Xu Shu felt that Zhao Fei was terrifying. After all, Sima Hui, the master of Jingxiang Academy, is also Zhao Fei's teacher, and Sima Hui's evaluation of Zhao Fei has obviously never been bad.

Who is Sima Hui, no one knows who is afraid of the Han Dynasty, and his recognition and praise coupled with Zhao Fei's little-known achievements, how can Xu Shu not feel afraid. Fighting against Zhao Fei, Xu Shu would really feel a little overwhelmed.

Perhaps, that person has the ability to fight Zhao Fei! Xu Shu's mind faintly thought of a person, a scribe with a strange and ugly appearance.

There are many talented people in Jingzhou, but in terms of military talent, only this person can be compared with Zhao Fei. Although I have learned a lot of things, after all, I am a halfway monk, so I can really have it, but compared with these people, I still lack some background in general.

This thing has nothing to do with one's own intelligence, because it depends on accumulation. However, it is worth affirming that Zhao Fei's background is more than that of Jingxiang scribes, after all, Zhao Fei's achievements are in front of everyone's eyes, which is quite valuable wealth and heritage.

Xu Shu's thoughts turned back after thinking for a while, he looked up at Liu Bei, and then said in a deep voice: "The lord doesn't need to worry too much, even if it is outside the city, our army has already occupied a favorable position. As long as you defend according to the danger, it is not difficult to hold back and defeat the Cao army! ”

Liu Bei nodded with a deep groan, since he had reached this point, he naturally knew how Cao Jun should deal with it. For Cao Jun, Liu Bei already had the means to attack him. After all, Liu Beijun's reputation is not given for nothing, Bi, Liu Bei still has the ability, they will not say defeat lightly!

Liu Bei made a decision, and then he ordered 4,000 soldiers to hand over to Chen Dao, he made Chen Zhi the commander of the three armies, and ordered Xu Shu to be the military advisor, leading these 4,000 soldiers to deal with the 10,000 soldiers of the Cao army.

It can be seen that Liu Bei's blow is obviously also a plan to fight for his life. Whether it is Chen Zhi or the four thousand soldiers, they are the most distressing things for Liu Bei. Now that Liu Bei has taken out all these things, it proves that Liu Bei decided to put them to death and live later.

The more Liu Bei had such determination, the happier Xu Shu was obviously as a military officer. Liu Bei is the commander of the three armies, and everything about himself deeply affects the soldiers of this Liu army. If Liu Bei himself didn't have the idea of fighting to the death, how could he ask the soldiers to fight to the death for him.

Regarding the matter of going out of the city to meet Cao Jun, many people under Liu Bei's command still have opposing opinions. After all, Liu Bei took out half of the soldiers to fight. If there is really any problem here, it is not something that Cao Jun can afford.

However, Chen Zhi still has a lot of confidence in going out of the city to fight. For Chen Zhi, he obviously has full confidence in the soldiers under his command. After all, these soldiers were all trained by him, he didn't believe in his soldiers, and who would believe them Qin soldiers.

Zhao Fei received the news as soon as possible, and Zhao Fei felt that Liu Bei dared to go out of the city to fight, and Zhao Fei felt that he was still quite stunned. He didn't expect that under such circumstances, Liu Bei would dare to abandon the city wall to fight with him.

Liu Bei obviously didn't want to die, he obviously had some ideas of his own in doing so. This thought came to Zhao Fei's mind in an instant, which made him immediately cautious.

In any case, Liu Bei's move can be regarded as a chess move. Because Zhao Fei originally wanted to surprise the soldiers to the city, but now it is obvious that this plan will not work. After all, Liu Bei's 4,000-strong army had already broken out of the encirclement, and even if the 5,000-strong army under Li Dian suddenly killed Xinye City, it obviously did not have the effect of a surprise attack.

At this moment, Zhao Fei was somewhat emotional, he thought it was seamless, but after all, he was defeated unexpectedly. But even so, Cao Jun has firmly grasped the initiative of the war. For Zhao Fei, he already aimed to kill Zhao Fei.

Although Li Dianqi's purpose of attacking Xinye City had failed, his 5,000 ambush soldiers obviously still played an important role. After all, Liu Bei didn't know that he had divided his troops, and he also didn't know where Li Dian's five thousand ambush soldiers were, so he could still play the role of ambush.
