Chapter 52: Zhuge Liang plans an escape route

"Kill!"

In an instant, the two sides fought together.

Cai Mao and Zhang Fei have also faced each other, and Cai and Cai Zhong have led people to fight with the two thousand people.

"We have 10,000, he is only 2,000, don't coward, kill me."

Cai He shouted, his hand raised and fell, and the lives of the two were seized in an instant.

Ten thousand against two thousand, it's too simple.

Basically, as soon as they met each other, Zhang Fei's side had already injured countless soldiers.

Moreover, the morale is not high, even against some recruits, it is inevitable to lose at this time.

Fortunately, Zhang Fei's ferocity gave the remaining people a trace of courage to resist, otherwise they were afraid that they would have surrendered at this time.

But even so, there was still a famous captain who came behind Zhang Fei who was fighting.

"General Zhang, the enemy is outnumbered, it's better to break through as soon as possible."

"Don't fart, mess with our army's heart, kill."

Zhang Fei waved Cai Mao away and killed the captain on the spot, which made Cai Mao feel shocked.

Just now, it was only a few rounds, but he was already tired of coping, and even if it wasn't for the sudden arrival of this captain, he would have died under Zhang Fei's Zhangba snake spear.

At this time, he didn't dare to fight Zhang Fei anymore, anyway, this battle was already won, and there was no need to risk his life.

So, he took a few steps back and shouted, "Shoot the arrows!" ”

"The lord said that you can leave no ......"

Before Cai Mao's voice fell, Cai He hurriedly came over, "Big brother, it's better to live than to die, right?" ”

"What's more, killing Zhang Fei will completely anger Liu Bei and Guan Yu, and the gains outweigh the losses."

As soon as she heard this, Cai Mao was shocked again, but fortunately, her brother's words were timely, and then she let people release arrows and stared at Zhang Fei's limbs.

In this way, Zhang Fei was captured.

And the soldiers behind him were relieved when they saw this, and surrendered directly.

"Big brother, are you still chasing Zhuge Liang?"

Cai Mao looked at Zhang Fei's posture like a defeated general, and was immediately excited.

He didn't expect that he would be able to defeat Zhang Fei one day, although he knew their plan in advance, but he was also arrogant.

"Of course you have to chase it, but the lord said that you can let it go, but you can't let it go."

"I believe that the lord at this time is already on the way to come."

"The two of you immediately lead 5,000 soldiers and horses, quickly chase after them, strive to rush to the port of Wulin before them, and then defend there after occupying it, and don't let Zhuge Liang escape from there."

When the two of them heard this, they gave up their hands and led 5,000 soldiers and horses away.

And Cai Mao escorted the captives, as well as Zhang Fei, with less than 5,000 soldiers and horses, and began to rush to Changban Slope.

He expected that after the fire just now, Zhuge Liang's remaining troops would definitely not be enough to break through Wulin, which had 5,000 troops, so he led the remaining men and horses, first escorted Zhang Fei's great merit to Changbanpo, and then organized people to extinguish the fire, and then waited for Zhang Fan to meet up.

In this way, Cai Mao divided his troops and began to act.

……

Zhuge Liang!

In the past two days, there has been no demeanor of being surprised and not being chaotic, and after experiencing this fire, it is completely decadent.

"Damn!"

"That guy is so capable? Do you know I'm ambushed here? ”

"Mo no, who leaked the news?"

"However, Jiangxia is separated from this Xiangyang by a river, and even Neiying can't easily convey the news, right?"

"Moreover, I haven't found any strange people under the lord's command."

Don't......

Zhuge Liang was hiding in a place to rest, the number of soldiers beside him was less than two thousand, and when he was muttering, he suddenly found a person with an extremely familiar face.

Liu Ming!

Could it be him?

This guy, who is almost inseparable from Yide, why did he suddenly retreat just now and choose to follow him?

Afraid?

I really haven't seen it yet.

Isn't it, what else is there to do?

The more he thought about it, Zhuge Liang felt that the possibilities were more and more likely, and Zhuge was also vividly shown by him afterwards.

However, even if he thought so, he was calm on the surface and did not show the slightest suspicion of Liu Ming.

"Strategist, what should we do?"

Liu Ming hurriedly stepped forward at this time and said attentively.

"What else can I do, I believe that Ulin has been occupied by Cai Mao at this time, and it is impossible to recapture it with our current strength."

As soon as the sentence came out, Liu Ming was shocked.

This guy is really powerful, and he has already calculated this step.

"That's ......," Liu Ming wanted to say but stopped.

Zhuge Liang sighed, "In this battle, we lost." ”

"Moreover, he also lost 8,000 soldiers and horses of the lord, Kong Ming is ashamed of his trust in the lord."

At the moment, Zhuge Liang didn't know what to do for a while.

But seeing this, Liu Ming was unhappy.

He heard Zhang Fan praise Zhuge Liang a lot of good things, and regarded him as a powerful opponent, but now that his morale is so low, how can he agree.

"Strategist, why don't we occupy a city casually and wait for the lord's support?"

Support......

Zhuge Liang shook his head helplessly.

Liu Bei, Liu Qi now has less than 10,000 soldiers under his command, in addition to garrisoning and guarding against Sun Quan's soldiers and horses, where can they be sent to support.

However, he also understood that Liu Ming's words were the best choice now.

Otherwise, they will all die here today.

And if you take a city, you may still be able to be self-sufficient and do what you can, even if you break through at that time, it is better than being powerless now.

"That's it!"

"I expect that Cai Mao must have rushed to Changbanpo, with at least 3,000 troops, and we have no chance of winning here."

"But the rest of the cities, under Zhang Fan's current governance, are fundamentally insufficient, so we can choose at will."

Between the words, he didn't seem to shy away at all, and he looked like he was telling each other bluntly.

But that's it, Liu Ming still didn't know where they were going, so he asked directly: "Then, military advisor, where are we going?" ”

"White Emperor!"

"Let, Emperor Zhanbai, retreat to Linjiang, borrow the road from Jiangdong, and return to Jiangxia, this is our only escape route."

Zhuge Liang didn't expect that he had just arrived in Xiangyang, and he hadn't made a big show yet, but he had already planned a route to escape.

After his order, Liu Ming said that he had understood, and then did not hesitate much, less than 2,000 soldiers and horses, and had already begun to reorganize the army.

As for how to take the White Emperor City, Liu Ming still didn't know, but he didn't ask much, but felt that a city with no troops to guard against it was not easy to take it?

But whether it should be given to Zhuge Liang or not is what he Liu Ming should think, hesitated again and again, and felt that he couldn't be the master, so he found a way to send a message to Zhang Fan.

And it just so happened that all of this was seen by Zhuge Liang without leaving a trace.

It turns out that it's not just Liu Ming's internal response.

Just now, he saw Liu Ming let go of a soldier with his own eyes, as for what to do, it goes without saying.
