The sun was setting in the west, and Chen Zhi led nearly a thousand soldiers back to Xinye City. Looking at Chen Zhi's troops, who had lost some troops, Liu Bei was obviously shocked. Obviously, Liu Bei did not expect that Chen Zhi would return to Xinye City in this situation.

I thought that even if Chen Zhi couldn't collect and surrender much of Cao's army, it would not be a loss of troops. But now this situation obviously shocked Liu Bei very much. Chen Zhi not only did not receive many Cao troops, but also lost hundreds of soldiers. Why did this happen, could it be that the main force of the Cao army was still there?

"Shuzhi, are you okay?" Coming to Chen Dao's side, Liu Bei asked with a slightly caring tone. However, seeing that Chen Zhi did not have any scars on his body, this made Zhao Fei slightly relieved. Looking closely, Chen Zhi was not injured.

"Rest assured, the lord will be fine!" Chen Zhi said in a deep voice. As he spoke, Chen Zhi turned over and dismounted, and asked Liu Bei to take a closer look. Chen Zhi was very pleased with Liu Bei's care, no matter what, Liu Bei also cared about himself.

Hearing Chen Zhi say this, Liu Bei nodded slightly. Now that he has only such a general under his command who can be relied on, if there is any accident at this moment, Liu Bei really doesn't know who can lead the troops to fight for him.

"What happened, could it be that the main force of the Cao army is still alive?" Liu Bei hurriedly asked again. Easily defeated the 1,000 soldiers led by Chen Zhi, it was obvious that this was the elite combat power of Cao's army. Could it be that the wolves were left behind by Zhao Fei, Liu Bei thought to himself.

"It's a shame to say that our army has already surrendered hundreds of Cao troops, but on the way back, a Cao army suddenly came out, and the Cao army that had already surrendered suddenly rebelled, which made our army not only deal with it, but also suffered a big loss in vain!" Chen was obviously a little ashamed when he said this.

However, Chen Dao's answer finally made Liu Bei breathe a sigh of relief, which shows that it was not the wolf pack soldiers of the Cao army who stayed here, but the soldiers of the Cao army who took the army by surprise. Internal and external troubles, although Chen Zhi was defeated, after all, in the face of the attack of hundreds of soldiers of the Cao army, Liu Beijun led by Chen Zhi also lost 100 people. This kind of combat power has proved that the soldiers of Liu Beijun led by Chen Zhi are indeed standing well.

"In this case, it's good to be able to retreat in one piece, but it's just that hundreds of Cao troops are routed, don't pay attention to it!" Liu Bei comforted. However, although Liu Bei said so, he was obviously very distressed. Hundreds of Cao army elites, if they use it well, they can have more hole cards.

Chen Zhi obviously saw that Liu Bei was a little duplicitous, but he obviously didn't want to point it out. "My lord, the soldiers of the Cao army who attacked our army are well-equipped, I am afraid that the Cao army deliberately stayed behind to collect the remnants of the army. With this Cao army here, it is obviously quite difficult to collect and surrender the Cao army. ”

"The general of the Cao army has a moderate command, his attack is just right, and those Cao army soldiers who have surrendered immediately turned against each other after seeing this person, which shows that this person has a lot of prestige among the Cao army!" Chen Zhi said in an analysis.

Hearing this, Liu Bei's eyes obviously lit up. Although the wolf pack of the Cao army did not remain, the Cao army left behind a general who had both prestige and could lead the army to fight. What is most lacking for Liu Bei now, there is no doubt that what Liu Bei lacks most is talents, especially those who can lead the three armies.

Now under Liu Bei's command, except for Guan Yu and Chen Dao, there is no one to lead the three armies. There is no general who commands the three armies, so how can Liu Bei lead the troops to fight. It can't be that all the tasks are overwhelming Chen Zhi and Guan Yu. Even if the two of them are steel and iron, they will not be able to withstand the pressure.

It's not that Liu Bei doesn't want to find talents, but it's really hard to find talents. Even though Liu Bei's name of benevolence and righteousness is the best in the world, it is obvious that talents can not be found just by looking for them. Now that I hear Chen Zhi say this, then this person must be a talent, and it would be great if he received it under his command.

However, now this is still a utopian dream, and the most important thing now is to find a way to capture this Cao army general. Only by capturing this person can the next surrender be carried out. Although it was difficult to recruit General Cao, Liu Bei obviously had this spirit of perseverance.

Since Cao Jun chose to sneak attack Chen Dao, it shows that his strength is less than 1,000, and if Liu Bei's army attacks to encircle and suppress this person, it is very likely that he will capture this person alive with the advantage of troops. Today's Liu Bei is eager to seek talents, and such talents cannot be let go.

As Liu Bei's idea continued to grow in his mind, Liu Bei increased his investigation of the extreme surroundings of Xinye City, no matter what, even if he dug three feet into the ground, he had to find out this person. This was a military order from Liu Bei, which made Guan Yu feel annoyed.

Li Dian didn't expect that his appearance would cause such a big reaction from Liu Bei. However, Li Dian had no intention of fighting hard with Liu Beijun, his purpose was to collect the defeated army of Cao's army, and now Li Dian has almost taken over.

Although Cao's army retreated in three directions, not many soldiers were actually lost. After all, these are the elite of the Cao army, even if they are defeated, they will not rush around like headless flies, they retreat to the Cao army camp in an orderly manner, and then let them chase Zhao Fei under Li Dian's arrangement.

Now Li Dian has found no less than 3,500 defeated troops of Cao's army, and as far as the defeated army is concerned, this number is obviously quite a lot. Although it is only half, it is quite a lot to recover half of the losses of Cao's army during the siege.

Now Liu Beijun is very strict in investigating the Xinye area, and it is obvious that he is looking for himself. It is really unwise to continue to stay in Xinye City, after all, there are only 500 soldiers under his command, and if he is really surrounded by Liu Bei, it will be really late.

With this idea, Li Dian immediately commanded hundreds of soldiers under his command to retreat, and it was obviously not safe to continue to stay in Xinye.

Li Dian should be glad about his decision, just after he led hundreds of soldiers to evacuate the garrison, Liu Bei led the soldiers to quickly surround this place. Watching people go to the empty camp, Liu Bei's heart was indescribably angry.

Of course, Liu Bei's anger is not only this, in the past few days, in order to find the hundreds of people in Cao Jun, Liu Bei has no heart to search for Cao Jun's rout. Now that the generals of the Cao army have not been caught, and the rout of the Cao army is nowhere to be found, it can really be said that there is no shortage of people and money.

However, these are obviously not Liu Bei's most heart-wrenching things, Zhao Fei's killing move has not yet come out, but it is already in his premeditation. As long as Zhao Fei kills one move, Liu Bei will definitely be heartbroken, after all, Xu Shu's importance is obviously not comparable to these.

It seems simple to let Xu Shu defect to Cao Jun, but Xu Shu is not a fool, how can he trust Cao Jun. So Zhao Fei had to prepare something that could make Xu Shu believe, and this thing had to come from Xu Shu's mother.

Zhao Fei had already sent someone to Xuchang to pick up this thing, although Zhao Fei ordered the scouts to hurry up, but it obviously took time to go back and forth. It is precisely for this reason that Zhao Fei did not make any moves.

After Zhao Fei led the army to withdraw to the Xiahoudun camp, the scouts who went to collect evidence finally arrived at the camp. The scouts who returned to the camp had one more thing in their hands, a shirt that had been sewn many times. Staring at this shirt, Zhao Fei sighed slightly. He whispered a few words in the scout's ear, and then let the scout leave the camp and head straight for Shinno Castle.

The scout obviously didn't think that this shirt could be of much use, but since Zhao Fei had already given the order, he could only take the order. But it's a very dangerous thing, after all, the Xu Shu that Zhao Fei said is an important advisor under Liu Bei.

The hatred between Liu Bei and Cao Jun is obvious, if his identity is exposed and Liu Beijun discovers, his fate will not be much better. But precisely because of the danger of this matter, it also comes with great benefits.

Risks and benefits obviously coexist, if he can do this beautifully, then Zhao Fei will definitely look down on himself. There was no need for anything else, as long as Zhao Fei could take a look at it, it would be more exciting than any reward. With Zhao Fei's words, he can rise to the top in Cao Jun and reach a point that ordinary people can't reach. After all, Zhao Fei's words are a promise, and his status is prominent.

With Zhao Fei's promise, countless people rushed to do this, and now the matter fell on him, even if this matter was very dangerous. If you are afraid of danger, many people will not let go of this great opportunity.

The scouts quickly came to Xinye City, and now Xinye City has lost the previous tense atmosphere, after all, after defeating Cao Jun in this battle, Cao Jun will naturally not make much move in a short period of time. Not to mention anything else, it will take a while for the army to prepare for the expedition.

With no martial law, it was easy for the scouts to enter Shinno Castle. After entering Shinno Castle, the scouts became cautious. After all, this is Liu Bei's territory, if you are not careful, then you have to say goodbye to your head.

After entering Xinye City, the scouts began to inquire about Xu Shu, and it was obvious that Xu Shu was still very well-known in Xinye City. It didn't take long for the scout to find out where Xu Shu's mansion was.

After inquiring about where Xu Shu's mansion was, the scout did not act immediately. If the color is bright today, since Xu Shu is Liu Bei's important adviser, he should discuss political affairs in Liu Bei's mansion at this moment. So he is definitely no longer in the mansion now, and if he goes to Xu Shu's mansion so rashly, he will definitely be kicked out.

The scout found an inn to stay in Xinye City, and after dark, he carried the baggage in his hand and headed towards Xu Shu's mansion. When he came to Xu Shu's mansion, the scout knocked softly on the door, and after a while, an old man opened the door.

Seeing the scout, the old man was obviously stunned. Without waiting for the old man to speak, the scout spoke first: "Old man, this is Xu Shu's mansion?" ”

The old man looked the scout up and down with suspicious eyes, and then nodded lightly: "This is exactly, who are you, what are you looking for my old man?" ”

After getting the answer, the scout immediately handed the burden in his hand to the old man, and then said: "Give this burden to Xu Shu, and say that I want to see him." As long as he sees the baggage, he will definitely come out to see me! ”
