Wang Baoyu was so hungry that he didn't care so much, he ate first and then said, looking at Zhuge Liang's stern appearance, he asked puzzledly: "Sir, how could Cao Cao have so many troops fall apart in an instant and flee in all directions?" ”

"Although Cao Cao has a large number of generals, many of his soldiers are sick, and the elite division is only more than 200,000, and most of the fire just now has been burned. And Zhou Yu will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue, Cao Cao will inevitably lead the troops to retreat, but we will take the opportunity, although it may not be victorious, but it can still be obtained by its baggage and replenish the army. Zhuge Liang analyzed.

Wang Baoyu remembered some things in the book about Huarong Dao Guan Yu letting Cao Cao go, but after several battles with Cao Cao, he had already begun to doubt the authenticity of this history, even if Cao Cao would be defeated and lead hundreds of thousands of troops, how could he be afraid of Guan Yu? Besides, hundreds of thousands of troops are obviously impractical to take Huarong Road!

Zhuge Liang looked at the map for half an hour, discussed it with Liu Bei again, and decisively gave an order. Liu Feng, Guan Ting and other soldiers led an army of 10,000 to return to Xiakou, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to recapture Xiakou.

Zhao Yun led 5,000 elite soldiers and immediately set off to the north of Yidu, intercepting Cao Cao's army, and if he was defeated, he would immediately retreat.

Zhang Fei watched from the side, and finally couldn't help it, rubbed his hands and asked: "My old Zhang Xian's hands are itchy, the military advisor will assign me a task quickly, right?" ”

"General Yide, you lead 5,000 troops to the mouth of the gourd in the Northern Yiling Tomb, Cao Bing is here, he will inevitably be sleepy and lacking horses, so he can't fight with him for a long time, grab some baggage and leave." Zhuge Liang said.

"Okay!" Zhang Fei said excitedly.

After arranging these, Zhuge Liang yawned and showed a tired look. Yawning is contagious, not to mention that Wang Baoyu is also tired enough to yawn for days.

"The military advisor and the fourth brother have been tired all the way, and they will go to rest first." Liu Bei said with concern.

"Liang is rude." Zhuge Liang yawned again as he spoke, rubbed his red eyes, and wanted to go back to sleep.

Guan Yu, who had been sitting on the cold bench, was unhappy, got up and pulled Zhuge Liang and asked, "Military advisor, why don't you send a task to Guan?" ”

"You will stay here and assist the lord in garrisoning Fankou." Zhuge Liang said.

"Guan has been fighting with his brother on the Long March for many years, and he has never lagged behind, but now he is facing a big enemy, but he wants to stay here, isn't it depressing." Guan Yu did not relent.

"The main public security crisis is also a heavy responsibility, why should Yun Chang be persistent?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"Hmph, that's a quibble! Everyone in the army knows that I am not on good terms with the military advisor, but I don't want the military advisor to be a narrow-minded villain! Guan Yu said with a glare.

"Yun Changyan is serious, and I will see the development of the battle, and I will explain to you when the time comes."

"The military advisor is perfunctory to me!"

Guan Yu pulled Zhuge Liang but refused to let go, and even showed a posture of being anxious, Wang Baoyu stepped forward and persuaded: "Sir, you can arrange a task!" ”

Zhuge Liang spread his hands and said that he really had no task, so he couldn't let him join with his little brothers and sisters, so he had to be provoked and said that he would not be reused.

Seeing that Guan Yu's face was flushed with anger, Wang Baoyu said: "It's better to arrange for my second brother to go to Huarong Dao, Cao Cao may not be able to leave there!" ”

"No, Cao Cao is here to pass guò, and it can't be intercepted." Zhuge Liang knew that Wang Baoyu could pinch and calculate, and when he heard this, he immediately became anxious.

"Why can't Guan stop him? It's not me boasting, if Cao Cao passes by here, I am the only one in the army who may want his life! Guan Yu came to a strong temper, turned around and bowed to Liu Bei: "Big brother, the second brother only goes here, I hope the eldest brother will agree!" ”

"Second brother, please get up!" Liu Bei protected this younger brother in the end, helped him up with both hands, although he did not open his mouth to persuade him, but he looked at Zhuge Liang directly, and the word "agree" was clearly written in his eyes.

Zhuge Liang was forced to be helpless, and finally relented, and discussed: "If Cao Cao doesn't pass through here, Yun Chang is only afraid that he will have to run empty." ”

"It's better than staying in the army, and it's hard to make an inch."

"If you run empty, Yun Chang will still complain to me at that time."

"Absolutely not! Since I followed my eldest brother, what scene has I not encountered, how can I win every game? ”

"If Yun Chang insists, then let Baoyu go with you." Zhuge Liang finally nodded.

Guan Yu snorted coldly, raised his wrist to thank him, turned around and went to prepare. Zhuge Liang called Wang Baoyu to his side and said unhappily: "Baoyu, think twice when you say something, I'm afraid that this time it will cause trouble again." ”

Wang Baoyu was also unhappy, and said, "Sir, what do you mean by this, don't you see that my second brother is already going crazy?" If my eldest brother really suspects that you can't tolerate my second brother, with his personality, he will have to snub you in the future, so you should thank me this time. ”

"Cao Cao is defeated this time, his combat effectiveness will be weak, and others can still leave after a battle, but the general concerned has an enmity with that Cao Cao, and he will not let it go." Zhuge Liang said.

"Are you worried that my second brother is in danger?"

"No, General Guan is brave and invincible, and it is not difficult to get out."

"So what are you afraid of?"

"I'm really worried that General Guan will kill Cao Cao in a fit of rage." Zhuge Liang said.

"I don't understand this, isn't everyone clamoring to kill Cao Thief, can't Cao Cao kill him?" Wang Baoyu asked suspiciously.

"At this time, you can't kill, if Cao Cao dies, then the princes will be hegemonic, among which there are many people who support the emperor, and now once the emperor is back in power, the lord will be nameless, become a chaotic minister, and then I am afraid that it will be difficult to have a place." Zhuge Liang explained.

Wang Baoyu suddenly realized that he admired Zhuge Liang very much, this is the far-sighted vision of a strategist. It can be seen that Zhuge Liang has long found out that Liu Bei wants to be the emperor, but he has never said it explicitly. If Liu Bei really understood Zhuge Liang's hard work, I am afraid he would really cry.

"Sir, I understand it all this time." Wang Baoyu said.

"Cao Cao led the army, will go along the road, to Nanjun, I am afraid that this time will be empty, if you really meet Cao Cao, you must persuade General Guan to let him go." Zhuge Liang instructed uneasily.

"Me?" Wang Baoyu completely regretted the mess just now, "Why don't I call General Guan back and give him another task?" ”

"Military orders are like mountains, how can they be changed at will?"

"Well, well, I'll do my best."

"You have to succeed, not fail."

Wang Baoyu nodded helplessly, also got up and went out, changed into a set of clean clothes, beckoned Fan Jinqiang, rode on the black shadow horse, followed Guan Yu, led a thousand elite soldiers, and set off for Huarong Road overnight.

Going back to Cao Cao, because he encountered Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, he went all the way to the west, running away like a lost dog, until the sky was slightly bright, and Zhang Liao and Xu Huang finally caught up.

Cao Cao saw that the two generals were protecting him, and there were more than a thousand soldiers, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, do you know where this is?" ”
