Chapter 44: The trap laid by Zhuge Liang

Zhang Fei's strength is indeed strong, but his physical strength is limited after all, neither physical strength nor martial arts are enough to compete with so many soldiers of Cao Jun.

However, after a period of fighting, Zhang Fei was physically exhausted, but he was surrounded by Cao's army, and it was difficult to fly.

Xu Chu was observing from the side, and he also knew that Zhang Fei's physical strength was exhausted, and he could no longer entangle with them.

"Brothers, up! Catch Zhang Fei! Xu Chu shouted, and then took the lead in rushing towards Zhang Fei.

"Kill!"

The soldiers under Xu Chu's command also rushed towards Zhang Fei one after another.

At this time, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun rushed in with their troops and started a fight with Cao Jun.

The soldiers on both sides were about to collapse at the first touch, although there were many Cao troops, but they couldn't stop Guan Yu and Zhao Yun at all, and they tore a gap.

"Third brother, retreat quickly!"

Guan Yu shouted.

"Second brother, you go first, I'll drag Cao Jun, you go quickly."

"Third brother!"

Guan Yu saw that Zhang Fei was resolute not to leave, he was anxious, and he didn't care about his own safety and killed Xu Chu.

"Let's go, the only chance at this time, let's move closer to the military division!"

"Okay, let's go!" Hearing this, Zhang Fei nodded in agreement.

Then, together they fought into the crowd and rushed to the periphery.

Zhang Fei and the others have been fighting their way out of the encirclement and rushing to the west, and Zhuge Liang has just arrived there and set a trap for the enemy.

After Xu Chu and the others arrived there, they quickly ran towards the trap set up by the military division.

At this time, Zhuge Liang was ambushed in the trap, and when he saw Zhang Fei and others fighting their way out of the encirclement, he was overjoyed and shouted: "Three generals, return quickly!" ”

Zhang Fei and the others heard Zhuge Liang's shout and returned one after another.

When Zhang Fei and the others returned, they saw the trap set by Zhuge Liang.

Seeing this, Xu Chu was also startled, and shouted: "Stop, be careful of fraud!" ”

"This is Zhuge Kongming's art of war trap!"

Xiahoudun glanced at it and recognized it, Zhuge Liang's art of war trap was very powerful, and they didn't dare to take risks easily.

"So what are we going to do?" Xu Chu's face was slightly gloomy and asked.

"Retreat!" Xiahoudun shook his head and said.

This kind of trap, or formation, is very weird, and I'm afraid they are not enough to deal with it.

For today's plan, it is natural to go up.

"Retreat!"

Xu Chu listened, nodded, and said, "Brothers, listen to the order, all retreat!" ”

After that, Xu Chu led the soldiers and retreated.

The rest of the Cao army saw Xu Chu retreating with the soldiers, and they all followed and retreated to the Cao camp together.

Xu Chu retreated with the army, and the Shu army also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Strategist, for the sake of today's plan, do you want to survive here?" Zhang Fei had a calm face, looked at the withdrawn Cao Jun, and said.

"Above Penglai, it is Xiangping, I have already sent people to occupy Xiangping, and when they return, we will evacuate here by boat!"

Zhuge Liang had already thought of a way out.

"Okay, obey the military division!" Zhang Fei nodded.

Xu Chu retreated with the army, and he secretly scolded Zhuge Liang for being treacherous in his heart, but now he has no choice.

And in Cao Jun's handsome camp, Cao Xuan looked at the map, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"This Xiangping is located in the north, cold is one of its major characteristics, if the Shu army goes to Xiangping, I am afraid it can survive for a while."

"Childe thinks, how should we deal with it?" Sima Yi asked.

Cao Xuan smiled slightly, and said: "Don't be in a hurry, if you want to destroy the Shu army, naturally you can't rush for a while, I'm afraid the situation in the world is difficult to solve, if Liu Bei and them run away, then it won't hurt to fight again next time." ”

Sima Yi nodded and didn't ask any more.

Just then, a scout hurriedly arrived.

"Lord Qiqi, the front line encountered the trap of the art of war arranged by Zhuge Liang, Xu Chu and General Xiahoudun did not dare to attack rashly, so they retreated!"

Cao Xuan frowned when he heard this.

Cao Xuan didn't reply immediately, but pondered for a while, then he raised his head and said to Sima Yi, "What does the military advisor think?" ”

"Childe, this time Zhuge Liang has arranged a trap in the art of war, and we have to find a way to break it. Otherwise, I am afraid that it will leave a deep impression on our army, and it will be very unfavorable for our next war. Sima Yi said.

"The military advisor is right! This time we must break this trap of the art of war! ”

Cao Xuan nodded.

He doesn't have much research on the art of war, but there are four emperors around him, which of these four emperors is not experienced in a hundred battles, and it is naturally not difficult to deal with Zhuge Liang's trap of the art of war.

"Pass the order, let Xu Chu and Xiahoudun attack with me, this trap of the art of war, it will be broken."

"Whoa!"

Soon, a military order was transmitted, and after Xu Chu and Xiahoudun received it, they went to the place where the Shu army was surviving with Cao Xuan, Sima Yi and Xu Shu.

Liu Bei and the others did not dare to delay, and hurriedly returned to the camp tent to clearly distribute the forces in the barracks.

"Strategist, what should we do next?" Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and asked.

"This time, we have suffered heavy losses, if we don't replenish in time, it will be difficult for us to recover, and in the future, I am afraid that we will need to stay in Xiangping for a while." Zhuge Liang sighed.

He arranged such a trap in the art of war, but he could still delay the Cao army temporarily, but the lost troops had to be reorganized, and he was helpless to continue to deal with the Cao army.

"In that case, let's rest for a few days first, and wait for the morale of our army to stabilize before marching!" Liu Bei said.

"Hmm." Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "In addition, we must be stationed here these days." ”

"What do you mean by ......?" Liu Bei was a little puzzled, Zhuge Liang's intention to arrange it like this made him very confused.

"The grain and grass are still enough for the army to last for six days, and after six days, we must break through and leave Penglai by water and go to Xiangping, otherwise...... There's no chance. ”

Zhuge Liang's tone was calm when he spoke, but he revealed an irresistible momentum that was impossible to refute.

Liu Bei also knew that what Zhuge Liang said was the truth, so he nodded and said: "What the military advisor said is extremely true, then, in the next few days, let's recuperate from our injuries with peace of mind!" ”

Zhuge Liang didn't say anything.

......

Xu Chu and Xiahoudun, two fierce generals, led the army, and Cao Xuan and them came to the outside of the valley.

The two pointed to the front and said in a deep voice: "That is the trap laid by Zhuge Liang." ”

The eyes of both of them also looked ahead.

In front of it, there is a plain, and there is nothing on the plain, except that in the middle of the plain, there are mountain peaks, and at the end of the plain, there is a river.

Looking at the scenery in front of them, they were also a little puzzled.

This is clearly man-made.
