"Are you sure?"

Liu Bei stared at the spy and asked solemnly.

"The subordinates are very sure that Huaxiong's army was all dispatched, leaving only the 30,000 Danyang soldiers of the traitor Cao Bao to garrison Tan County."

The spy said respectfully.

"Got it, let's go down."

Liu Bei waved his hand, looked at Zhuge Liang on the side, and said with a sad brow,

"Kong Ming, Hua Xiong is going to kill us all."

"Huaxiong has only 50,000 horses, which is equal to the number of our army.

Don't panic, my lord, we haven't reached the point of exhaustion. ”

Zhuge Liang comforted softly.

"So what do we do, in your opinion?"

Liu Bei asked.

Zhuge Liang stood up, shook the feather fan, and thought for a moment,

"This Pi is not as good as Tan County, and it is basically impossible to defend the city."

Pang Tong nodded approvingly,

"What Kong Ming said is not bad at all.

It is said that the artillery developed by Huaxiong is amazingly powerful. Ordinary cities really can't withstand artillery bombardment. ”

Hearing the two military advisors say this, Liu Bei's brows furrowed even tighter.

"In my opinion, there is only one way to go......"

Zhuge Liang looked at Pang Tong with a smile.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison,

"Get out of the city and fight!"

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were stunned when they heard this.

"Strategist, you're not kidding, are you?"

Liu Bei said with a confused expression.

"Going out of the city to fight, isn't that a dead end?"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also at a loss.

Huaxiong's troops have strict military discipline and amazing combat effectiveness, and they are the best soldiers in the world.

The tens of thousands of horses led by Liu Bei, although they were also trained at the expense, they were still not as good as Huaxiong's army.

Otherwise, they can choose to fight with Huaxiong in Tan County.

However, now Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong proposed to give up the advantage of the city and go out of the city to face Huaxiong.

How could you not surprise Liu Guanzhang and the others?

"Lord, if you want to rely on Picheng to resist Huaxiong's attack, you will definitely be defeated."

Zhuge Liang's face was serious and authentic,

"Therefore, our army must take the initiative to attack, and only then can we put it to death and survive."

"Kong Ming is right." Pang Tong nodded and agreed, "You can't even imagine the lord, then Huaxiong naturally didn't expect that our army would go out of the city to meet him, just enough to catch him off guard." ”

Although what they said was very reasonable, Liu Bei's face was still a little hesitant.

"Strategist, what are your plans?"

"I don't have a specific plan yet, but according to my night observations, it will snow heavily in a few days.

At that time, we will have the right time and place, and it will not be easy to deal with Huaxiong. ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

Liu Bei couldn't help muttering in his heart, last time you said that there was a favorable time, place and people, but the result was not defeated by Huaxiong, and even the nest was lost.

He hesitated for a moment, and there was no good way, so he could only nod and agree,

"In this case, everything is at the behest of Kong Ming."

Just as Zhuge Liang was about to discuss with Pang Tong about his next move, Chen Zhi suddenly walked in hurriedly from outside.

"Lord, Zilong is back."

As soon as he heard this, Liu Bei stood up with a "pout" and walked out in great strides.

"Zilong, Zilong!"

The rest of the people followed him.

The group came to the lobby, and Zhao Yun, who was full of tiredness, was resting.

Liu Bei hugged Zhao Yun, tears of excitement flowed down,

"Zilong, I'm worried about you these days, I don't want to eat!"

Zhao Yun was also a little moved in his heart, and hurriedly said,

"Thank you for your concern."

Zhang Fei on the side snorted softly,

"Zilong, how did you escape from Hua Xiong? Tell us quickly. ”

When Liu Bei and the others evacuated from Tan County, they saw Zhao Yun surrounded by Hua Xiong and others.

If it is said that Zhao Yun can escape from Hua Xiong's hands, he will kill everyone who does not believe it.

The lobby was unusually quiet, and the atmosphere became a little tense.

Everyone looked at Zhao Yun's gaze, full of doubt, incomprehension, and indifference.

Zhao Yun suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he still pretended to be nothing, and talked about his fight with Hua Xiong and how he let him go.

"I see."

Liu Bei smiled easily.

"Big brother, don't believe him. Maybe he has already taken refuge in Huaxiong, and he came back this time to act as an internal response. ”

Zhang Fei said with a vigilant face.

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense!"

Liu Bei's face sank and he shouted in a low voice.

"Where am I talking nonsense? Maybe he's just like Cao Bao! ”

"Shut up!"

Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei fiercely.

You are embarrassed to say Cao Bao, if it weren't for you, how could Tan County be so easy to lose?

"Lord, if you suspect Zilong, you can arrest Zilong."

Zhao Yun said seriously.

"Zilong, you are loyal, how can I not believe you?"

Liu Bei comforted.

"Third brother, if it weren't for the Empress Zilong Palace, how would you and I escape from Tan County? How can you doubt him casually? ”

Guan Yu also looked at Zhang Fei dissatisfied.

At this time, Zhuge Liang coughed lightly and said with a chuckle,

"Zilong, you just came back, have a good rest for a few days."

"Thank you for your kindness."

Zhao Yun arched his hand, and under the leadership of his subordinates, he walked towards the backyard.

When he entered the room, he lay on the bed, but sighed silently.

Although Liu Bei and the others were polite to him on the surface, he could still sense that they were defensive of themselves in their bones.

Otherwise, it is impossible to let yourself rest for a few days when Xiapi is short of manpower now.

Compared with the King of Wei, the pattern of the lord and the military advisor seems to be a little small......

Inside the lobby.

"Third brother!"

Liu Bei waited for Zhang Fei with stern eyes.

Zhang Fei shrank his head and said in a muffled voice,

"Big brother, I'm doing this for your good."

"Yide, we all know you are kind. But how can you say such things in front of Zilong? ”

Liu Bei's words were serious and authentic.

"Not bad." Zhuge Liang nodded lightly, "Just put Zilong aside for a while, and you will naturally know if he is really returning." ”

"So now that the topic returns, let's continue to discuss how to deal with Hua Xiong."

Pang Tong said.

"I have a plan now."

The corners of Zhuge Liang's mouth turned up slightly,

"I plan to rely on the river water and line up the gossip array to resist the Huaxiong army!"

His hand landed on the map, descending to the ancestral waters of the north.

……

"Lord, not far ahead is Zushui.

After another hour or two of Zushui, it will be Xiapi City. ”

Zhang Liao rode a tall horse and turned back from the front to report.

Hua Xiong nodded,

"Got it, cheer up the soldiers.

Wait until you reach the river and then set up camp and rest. ”

"Yes, my lord!"

Zhang Liao was just about to turn his horse's head when suddenly several cannon shots rang out from both sides of the road.

Countless enemy soldiers came out, brandishing weapons and rushing over, shouting and killing to the sky.
