In front of the gate of Shinno Castle.

Cao Ren is leading the troops outside, so he really doesn't need to investigate too much, and he can basically see no one at a glance.

There was a dead silence inside and outside the city, and there were still a lot of rags flying in the dust, and it was really an empty city.

"It's a pity, it's just cloudy now, and it's not yet time for the rain to be very heavy," Cao Ren sighed, looking a little regretful, "But I still don't believe it, this is too unbelievable, Xu Bowen can really be regarded as dead Liu Bei?" ”

"You even know how he uses it?"

"Hmph, hehe......" Cao Ren sneered, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it...... It must be Xu Zhen and the inner detectives by Liu Bei's side. ”

"Otherwise, the message can be so clear? But this kind of plan must only be known to a very few people before it is arranged. ”

"So who else could this insider be? It can't be Guan and Zhang, right? ”

Xu Huang smiled with humble eyes on his side, happy and leisurely, without any worries about fighting, this Xinye is too easy to harvest, just wait for the rainy day to go in.

"It's cloudy, and it should definitely rain heavily today."

They are still waiting for the rain, and as for whether the ride is accurate, you only need to go in and take a look.

"Did the lord reply?!"

Cao Ren glanced back, Yu Ban nodded slowly and said: "I have already replied, now that the people have arrived in Anding County, the army is nearby, and the current battle situation should also be received. ”

"Haha!"

Cao Ren laughed, and glanced at the sky again rather meaninglessly, it was about to rain, and his mood was getting better, and his heart had been itching for the past few days of waiting for the rain, and if he didn't enter the city again, the soldiers would start to doubt.

"Yes, let the lord be happy, after all, it is also a leisurely situation now, there is no need to chase Liu Bei anymore, we can't catch up if we are forced."

"Well, that's true, first stabilize Jingzhou, and then gradually advance, since Liu Bei has fled to the border, close to the Jiangdong area, there is no need to worry about its growth at all."

Although Xu Huang and Yu Ban are not proficient in internal affairs, they have been good at the development of Tuntian over the years, resettled the people, and led the people to work, so they naturally understand what is needed to occupy the hearts of the people.

Liu Bei has to govern for many years before he can get enough people's support, and the more than 200,000 people he brought with him will pose a great threat to Liu Qi, and if he flees to Jiangdong in the future, Sun Ce will never allow him.

So Liu Bei's situation is not good at this time, let them fight first.

And the land of Jingzhou is the real priority.

……

Anding County.

Cao Cao was eating lunch, eating the meatloaf sent from the northwest, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he saw the battle report sent by Yu Ban.

Yang handed the letter to Guo Jia, and said with a smile: "Feng Xiao took a look, Yu Ban sent this letter, saying that Bowen and Zixiao were making a bet, but it was a bit fun." ”

Guo Jia's own cold face broke the ice a little and pursed his lips, showing a slight smile, and after glancing at the letter, the smile on his face disappeared immediately.

"In the city, there was oil and forage to burn the army that entered the city, so that it rained and entered the city again......"

Guo Jia pondered for a moment, so that Cheng Yu also heard this assertion, and was also stunned, "Can you see this on the bike?" ”

At this moment, Guo Jia immediately looked up at him, and said with a surprised expression: "Moreover, it is not that I know it after thinking about it, and the patrol camp immediately understands the inside story when I learn about it." ”

"As mentioned in the letter, Che Qi has insight into Liu Bei's strategy, and he has a complete and thorough insight, and he can see at a glance what he wants to do......"

"It's incredible."

Guo Jia put the letter back on the case in front of Cao Cao, thought about it for a moment with his hands behind his back, and shook his head after pondering for a moment.

His face was slightly solemn.

If it were him, he might immediately react to the fact that there were ambushes waiting in the city at first glance, but how could he think that it was fire oil and forage, and he wanted to use fire to block the enemy.

That's a brilliant plan!

As long as the fire starts, the whole city can be burned, anyway, these 200,000 people have already followed, and the people are used as shields, and they cannot chase after righteousness.

This is one of its effects.

Then take this opportunity to burn the city, anyway, these people have already abandoned the city and left, the biggest role of this city is to ignite a fire and hinder the pursuing soldiers.

Bowen didn't plan to chase after him at all, and suggested that Cao Ren slowly enter the city and use the rain to extinguish the fire, so as to extinguish the flames.

"What's so strange about that?"

Cao Cao finished eating the cake and sat leisurely, smiling at all, "I have been marching and fighting for many years, and I naturally understand the thoughts of these wartime generals. ”

"Only by using fire can we become a natural barrier to block the whereabouts of our army, and not chasing them is the best response to Liu Bei."

"I didn't plan to chase it, what is Liu Bei? It doesn't make me lose my mind, hehehe......"

Cao Cao laughed happily.

Cheng Yu's eyes were slightly sluggish, his brows were tightly locked, as if he still hadn't figured it out, he seemed to be a little confused for a while, and muttered: "However, even the fine arrangement of covering with forage and canisters of fire and oil can be used to shoot fire arrows after our army enters the city, it can be calculated accurately, and it is too mysterious." ”

"And, I remember the prime minister saying...... We must catch Liu Bei at all costs and break him into thousands of pieces to set an ......example."

"Shut up!"

You don't talk to no one when you're dumb, are you good to go out!?

Cao Cao jerked up, "Am I that kind of person?" Yes?! Knowing that there are pitfalls in the chase, or do you want to act rashly and completely ignore the overall situation? This is not the time to be triumphant. ”

"Look at this day, I'm afraid it's going to rain over there in Fancheng."

After saying this, Cao Cao turned very quickly, and directly brought the topic to the sky, and the two of them were really taken away, looking up at the sky in the distance, it was gray, as if the sky was lowered.

This is a sign that heavy rain is coming.

A few days later, even if it was a rainy day, the archers who Liu Bei had buried outside the city must have run out of patience by now.

"Well, then give a military order, it can be regarded as urging Zixiao to let him march, I know the hidden dangers, there is no shame in betting on losing to Bowen, go into the city to take a look, whether there are countless fire oil and forage buried, our army is also open, ready to leave for Xinye."

"Whoa!"

At this moment, Guo Jiade ordered to immediately turn around and leave, his body was like the wind passing without stopping, and he turned out of the door very quickly, and disappeared from view in a short time.

Cao Cao saw him leave, and when he retracted his gaze, he accidentally glanced at Cheng Yu, and they were a little embarrassed to each other, Cheng Yu was stunned, and said with a smile: "Indeed, it's incredible." ”

"Tsk, I didn't know he was amazing? Want to boast? ”

"The prime minister is also powerful, and the prime minister can also think of fire oil and forage."

Cheng Yu muttered a few words, bowed his head and took a few steps back, returning to his seat, but looking at his expression, it was obvious that he was still thinking.

However, Cao Cao at this moment actually didn't believe it, he could really guess so accurately, it was pure nonsense, this kid must have only known a little bit of the inside story, and his own judgment knew that Liu Bei might set up an ambush.

As for the so-called oil and forage, they must have made it up by themselves, telling Cao Ren that he could bluff him, and as for going to the city, it was nothing more than a little safe and sound.

Make sure the city is taken, and enter the city on a rainy day.

……

That night.

The heavy rain poured down, and outside the entire city, the ground soil quickly turned into a puddle of mud, not to mention the fire oil in the city, and the grass was all wet, and the light cavalry lying in ambush immediately understood that if the rain fell for several days in a row, then there was really no way.

With the heavy rain falling, Cao Ren slowly entered the city.

When they found out that Cao Jun was moving at this time, they immediately understood that the plan must have been seen through again, so they had no choice but to withdraw.

It took him overnight to keep up with the 200,000 people who were migrating, and soon after he saw the army formation and was able to catch up with Liu Bei.

However, before the arrival, the morale of the hundreds of horsemen was very low, and the expressions on everyone's faces were ugly, like mourning.

After getting off the warhorse, he was also depressed, and there seemed to be a little fear in the faint sense.

After all, now Liu Bei has several strategies in a row, and Xu Zhen has seen through them, and every time he makes a layout, it is either useless or he is reversed, and he suffers heavy losses.

This time, he was also enthusiastic about burning Xinye to ambush the Cao army, in order to defeat the Cao army, but he was still seen through and saw through everything.

What else will not be seen through by the opposing military division in the future?

Who is Cao Ren's military advisor? Could it be that after Xu Bowen arrived in person, he had insight into this plan? No matter who did it, the previous ambushes in Baihe, Yinshan, Funiu Mountain and other places, and the fire in Bowangpo, were all seen through by Xu Zhen.

Even the military advisors in the army were all spies arranged by Xu Bowen in the army.

Among this Liu Jun, who else can be trusted?

The second general and the third general are sworn brothers, so they can't also secretly collude with Xu Bowen, right?!

If that's the case, then this person is really terrible.

"Coming back!?"

When Liu Bei saw these cavalry returning, he immediately grabbed the reins, turned over and dismounted to greet them, and asked with an expectant face: "How?" You can burn down the city!? ”

"Once the new field is burned, we can easily march, and we don't have to be in such a hurry!"

"Does this work? Did you burn to Cao Ren? Kill the sergeant?! ”

"Lord!"

One of the cavalrymen looked at several pairs of eager eyes that were staring at him, and he was also desperate and panicked in his heart, although the third general was not here, but if he heard about it in the future, he would really beat and scold the sergeant.

This matter has long been no secret in the military.

"It didn't work."

"Our plan has been discovered."

"Huh?"

Liu Bei was stunned, the whole person fell backwards, almost didn't stand firm and swayed to the ground, stepped back to support his body, and said: "When the fire was burning, Cao Ren didn't enter the city?" ”

"No, they waited until last night's rain poured down before they entered the city."

"Last night's rain was very strong, and it was impossible to ignite the flames with fire arrows alone, and even if they burned desperately, they would be extinguished quickly, and they would not work."

"The forage we buried in the city is all wet, and the fire oil is also washed away, it is difficult to make a plan, in order to prevent the Cao army from chasing and killing, we can only evacuate, and ask the lord for forgiveness!"

"Please forgive your sins!"

The hundred cavalry cavalry all knelt on one knee and saluted with fists clenched.

At this time, Liu Bei noticed that the mood of these people was very low, as if they had lost hope of life.

At this moment, Liu Bei, who had led the troops for many years, suddenly realized this problem.

Three times.

If you count the original military advisor Xu Shu, it should be four times!

Within a few months, Xu Bowen saw through four strategies in a row, and he never had an advantage, which was not only unwilling in his heart, but also depressed.

It is a great blow to the officers and men of the army......

This should be despair.

But how can this morale be boosted?!

If he didn't say something, Liu Bei was even worried that in the future, these people would all turn against Xu Zhen and surrender, and the hearts of the generals in the army would gradually dare not fight against Xu Jun.

In the end, like the Yuan family, when he heard that Xu Zhen's armor cavalry, crossbow cavalry, and sword and shield cavalry would be invincible, and the army's morale was discouraged, and he did not dare to fight.

At this time, they hadn't even fought Xu Zhen once, and they had already reached such a point, how terrifying.

Liu Bei was silent for a long time with a straight face, and then hurriedly helped one person up, and said heavily: "I don't blame you, don't worry." ”

"This is the strategy of the military advisor to leak it," Liu Bei glanced at everyone, and now there were a lot of soldiers and horses in front of him, and immediately shouted loudly, "This time it is my guilt!" ”

"It's not your fault, it was I who treated the Magi sincerely, with the heart of a national soldier, and had no reservations about that military advisor Shan Fu, who said this, but I didn't expect him to even remember this in his heart, and told Xu Zhen that he would see through it."

The soldiers all around looked at each other.

I see, it was leaked.

No wonder, Xu Zhen is not nearby, and he can know so much inexplicably, perfectly avoiding ambushes, and is not affected by the slightest strategy.

It was all leaked by the military advisor, and the single blessing seemed to be a loyal person, but he didn't expect that it was all to win the trust of the lord and steal so much information.

"It's all my fault! I shouldn't be gullible about others! You shouldn't be so thirsty for talent, and you shouldn't look at the origin of their character! I am the one who harmed you, but remember! ”

Liu Bei's expression was full of anger, and he took a deep breath and shouted: "Xu Zhen, it is definitely not as terrible as you imagined!" He's not God! He's just a talented person, but he's just good at planting moles and spies! ”

"Not invincible!"

"Not bad!"

Jian Yong was the first to echo, "At the beginning, when the Lord announced that Shan Fu had this plan, I was on the spot! ”

"This man is despicable and flattering! If the strategy is recognized, then it will be recognized! We should protect the people at this moment, Xu Zhen is a traitor and a thief, and he can't drag his feet halfway! ”

"But here's the plus! After that, there will be no leakage, and we will definitely be able to beat Xu Zhen and Cao Cao! I don't believe you, you will go to Jiangxia to settle first, and you will see it in the future! ”

"Good, good ......"

"Xu Zhen is a traitor, make good use of the strategy of civil strife."

"Let's not mess up, first protect the people to Jiangxia, the lord is so benevolent and sincere, he must have just been deceived by Xu Zhen before."

"Don't talk about it, let's go to Jiangxia first!!"

For a while, the crowd was excited, and these sergeants were mobilized again by Liu Bei's words, and followed by the troops to lead the troops, not daring to slack off in the slightest, because the Cao clan had obtained Xinye, and they would definitely chase after it.

How dare you stay!

……

At this time.

Outside Shinno Castle.

Xu Zhen was sleeping on a recliner in the barracks when he suddenly heard the sound of the system.

【Collect Nanyang County】

[Completion: 100%]

【Rewards!】 】

"Oh? Here it comes! ”

Xu Zhen suddenly opened his eyes, full of interest.

It's comfortable, Nanyang accepted it, ready to draw the lottery, and then you can brush up on how many rewards you can brush in Jingzhou, and then go back to the north after brushing.
