It is difficult for Zhao Fei to imagine how Xu Shu survived in the fire, in Zhao Fei's opinion, the fire is pervasive, and it is absolutely difficult for Xu Shu to survive in the fire. And it was precisely for this reason that Zhao Fei did not take Xu Shu and Chen Zhi to the thousands of soldiers in his heart.

What is certain is that this matter is absolutely a dereliction of duty. It was Zhao Fei who did not pay attention to Xu Shu and thousands of soldiers, so he attracted the defeat of Cao's army. Now that the three armies have been defeated, Liu Beijun has not only greatly increased their morale, but also increased their strength a lot.

The Three Roads is not how many people are left in the Three Roads army, but no matter how many are left, they are not capable of continuing to attack Xinye City. Now there are two roads in front of him, one is to hold on and wait for help, Cao Jun continues to stick to the camp, and then let Xiahoudun send troops to support him. The second is to withdraw the troops, where to go back and forth.

However, no matter how Zhao Fei chooses, he will not escape the shame of defeat. However, Zhao Fei took this matter very lightly, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, since it was his own mistake, Zhao Fei naturally would not admit his mistake. But now is not the time to discuss who is wrong and who is right, what needs to be done now is to choose a way out for Cao Jun.

For Zhao Fei, he is more inclined to the second method in his heart. Evacuate Xinye City, wait for Cao's army to recuperate, and continue to attack Liu Bei. But before that, there is a very important thing to do, and that is to solve the threat of Xu Shu.

Liu Beijun, who has Xu Shu here, is definitely like a tiger with wings, and Zhao Fei can't allow Xu Shu, a huge threat, to continue to exist, so the next time he conquests Cao Jun, he must take the lead in solving Xu Shu's problem.

However, this matter is obviously very simple, just follow the example of Cao Cao in history. Threatening Xu Shu's mother, Xu Shu would never say anything. After all, he is a filial son, and it is impossible to let his mother go. This method is a bit shameful, but it is the most effective.

For Zhao Fei, there is no psychological burden on Xu Shu to adopt such a method. After all, he has a life-saving grace for Xu Shu. This kind of kindness, shouldn't Xu Shu repay it? In addition, Xu Shu has been absent from Xuchang for so many years, and he has spared no effort to take care of his mother.

Zhao Fei frowned and thought to himself for a while, and then led the soldiers back to the Cao army station. Now that you've made a decision, you don't need to think about anything, just implement it. When Zhao Fei was camping, what caught his eye were the soldiers of the Cao Army with low morale.

Before riding a horse to his camp, Li Dian had already knelt there motionless. Looking at Li Dian, who was covered in blood, Zhao Fei turned over and dismounted and came to Li Dian's side, and then helped Li Dian up with both hands.

"What does General Li mean by this, this defeat is all due to my inconsiderate consideration, and it has nothing to do with General Li. The general fought bloodily, if it weren't for my carelessness of the enemy, our army would have already attacked Xinye City! Zhao Fei said very pertinently. For the defeat in this battle, Zhao Fei does have an unshirkable responsibility.

Hearing Zhao Fei say this, Li Dian was naturally very emotional, of course, he was faintly moved. As a captain, Zhao Fei personally helped himself up regardless of his identity, and said so many words of comfort to himself, which made Li Dian feel Zhao Fei's bearing, "My lord! Li Dian obviously wanted to say something, but Zhao Fei stopped him. Looking at the gloomy Cao army camp, Zhao Fei said loudly: "Now that our army's defeat has become a fact, it is better to withdraw the army than to make no contribution here." ”

Li Dian thought about Zhao Fei's words for a moment, and then nodded. For the current Cao army, withdrawing troops is undoubtedly the best way. It was obviously impossible for Liu Beijun to suddenly appear so many soldiers and attack Cao's army in three ways at once.

If he wants to divide his troops into three ways, Liu Bei must have a solid force as a backing. When Cao's army attacked the city, although the defenses in the camp were weak, they could not be overcome with one or two hundred men. According to the strength gap between Cao Jun and Liu Beijun, if Liu Beijun wants to conquer Cao's army camp, he must at least send nearly 1,000 soldiers to have a complete chance of Cao's army camp.

Attacking a camp Liu Beijun had to invest thousands of soldiers, and Liu Beijun attacked three camps of Cao's army at one time, and it is obvious that Liu Beijun had at least 3,000 soldiers to attack three camps of Cao's army at the same time.

In this way, in addition to Liu Beijun in Xinye City, Liu Beijun had at least three thousand troops stationed in places outside the city that Cao Jun did not know. If all these 3,000 soldiers were sent into the city, Liu Beijun's ability to defend the city would be no worse than Cao's army's ability to siege the city.

In the face of the surge in troops, Cao's strong attack will obviously not achieve better results, rather than sticking to Pingbai Lang here to wait for reinforcements, it is better to withdraw the army. Moreover, judging from the current morale of the Cao army, it is really not capable of continuing to storm Xinye City.

Zhao Fei stared at Li Dian with a solemn face, and then said in a deep voice: "General Li, I have an important task that I want to give to the general, but I wonder if the general has the courage to accept it?" ”

When Li Dian heard Zhao Fei say this, he immediately knew what the important task in Zhao Fei's mouth was. Needless to say, Zhao Fei must have stayed in Xinye for the time being, and then tried his best to retract the Cao army that was defeated by Liu Beijun on three roads. Although Zhao Fei knew that this was a very difficult thing, Zhao Fei couldn't let it go.

The reason why Li Dian was chosen was because Zhao Fei believed that Li Dian could be competent for this task. Of course, if you stay in Shinno, the danger is natural. After all, it was impossible for Zhao Fei to leave the entire army to Li Dian, and in Zhao Fei's view, it was already quite a few to leave hundreds of soldiers for Li Dian.

"Don't worry, you won't disappoint you!" Li Dian said loudly, the reason why Zhao Fei is like this is because he trusts himself, if Zhao Fei doesn't trust himself, how can he give himself such a difficult task.

Zhao Fei nodded, Li Dian is really useful. He glanced at Li Dian, and then said loudly: "I don't say that the general also knows what the task I want to give you is, but what I want to tell the general is that this task is quite dangerous!" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I will have the confidence to complete the task!" Li Dian said in a deep voice, since Zhao Fei trusted him, he would not let Zhao Fei down.

"In that case, I'm relieved, how about I leave five hundred soldiers with you to look for the rout of Cao's army?" Zhao Fei asked with a hint of inquiry. Now it is also an important moment for Cao Jun, as soon as Cao Jun is defeated, Liu Beijun's morale will naturally rise. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that Liu Bei will be interested in himself.

Zhao Fei was not very afraid of Liu Bei's attack, after all, he still had the last hole card of wolves under his command. With the wolf pack of soldiers there, Zhao Fei was not afraid of Liu Beijun's attack. Not only is he not afraid, Zhao Fei even has some expectations, if Liu Beijun really dares to attack, Zhao Fei will definitely give Liu Beijun a fatal blow.

However, Liu Beijun obviously would not let Zhao Fei get his wish, and for the pursuit of Cao Jun, neither Liu Bei nor Xu Shu agreed with this matter. After all, both of them knew that there were still wolves under Zhao Fei's command, and the wolves were like reassuring pills, which could make Cao Jun withdraw safely.

Still, there are those who disagree. No need to ask, this person must be Guan Yu. In Guan Yu's words, Liu Jun should seize this opportunity and launch a pursuit of Cao Jun. After all, this is a beating of the water dogs, and if you don't do it now, you won't have this opportunity in the future.

What Guan Yu said was naturally true, but Cao Jun would definitely not fail to consider this. There is no problem in pursuing Cao's army, but whether Liu Bei's army can defeat Cao's wolf pack's troops. Even if the Cao army is defeated, the wolf pack soldiers will definitely not become demoralized, after all, they are the most elite troops in the Cao army.

In the end, Liu Bei still dissuaded Guan Yu's idea of pursuing Cao Jun, instead of chasing Zhao Fei, it was better to chase and kill the rout of the other three Cao Jun, whether it was surrender or defeat, which was quite beneficial to Liu Beijun.

Of course, Liu Bei is more inclined to surrender, after all, these are the elite of Cao's army, if they are surrendered, Liu Beijun will definitely lose the battle. After all, these soldiers can go into battle without training at all, and they can burst out with amazing combat effectiveness.

Regarding Yu Zai, he obviously wouldn't want Cao Jun's captivity. Therefore, Liu Beiran and Guan Yu garrisoned the city, and then sent Chen to collect and surrender Cao's army. Guan Yu was naturally very angry about this decision, but this was Liu Bei's order, even though Guan Yu was very dissatisfied, he didn't vent it in front of Liu Bei.

For defeating Cao Jun this time, Liu Bei was somewhat apprehensive. thought that the defeat was decided, who would have thought that the situation would be turned around at such an important moment. Of course, the reason why the situation was reversed was because Xu Shu and Chen were thousands of strange soldiers.

I thought that these thousands of cavalry were wiped out by Zhao Fei in the first battle of Bowangpo, but what I didn't expect was that Xu Shu and Chen Zhi's nearly 4,000 soldiers not only did not suffer any damage, but also unexpectedly stabbed Cao Jun in the back, which cost Cao Jun's life.

Although Xu Shu's knife did not kill Zhao Fei, it destroyed Zhao Fei's carefully prepared attack. In any case, this is also a good thing, after Cao's army withdrew, Liu Bei had more time to plan what he should do next.

This is definitely good news for Liu Beijun, as soon as Cao's army withdraws, it will take a lot of time to recuperate. And you can take this opportunity to cultivate and plan what your next step should be.

It has become an indisputable fact that Xinye Castle is difficult to garrison, and through this battle, it can be found that the city defense of Xinye Castle is obviously difficult to resist the offensive of Cao's army. However, Liu Bei now doesn't know where to retreat, judging from the current situation, where does Jingzhou have its own place.

You must know that Cai Mao, the governor of Jingzhou, can regard himself as an enemy, and Cai Mao's desire to kill him is premeditated, so the land of Jingzhou is quite unsafe for Liu Bei. However, if Jingzhou is not safe, then Xinye will be safe, and the answer to this is obviously no, Jingzhou is even more unsafe than Xinye.

Zhao Fei lost this battle, and after he regrouped and attacked here, his offensive was obviously more fierce than now. By that time, he would definitely not have the ability to continue to garrison Shinno Castle.
