Chapter 170: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell

Cao Wu didn't speak, he closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then turned around and asked Zhang Liao: "Wen Yuan has seen Pang Tong?" ”

Zhang Liao nodded: "That day, I rushed to the front, and when I saw that person, I should have looked like Pang Shiyuan." ”

"Feng Chick."

Cao Wu shook his head, finally confirming his thoughts.

"These are fake, the real Liu Bei has already run away."

"What?"

Zhang Liao frowned.

Lu Xun was surprised, he had always suspected that this was fake, it was Liu Bei's game, but he didn't understand why Cao Wu saw it all at once.

If you want to say the reason, Cao Wu can't actually say why. He just felt that Liu ran all over the world, how could he die here so simply.

He speculated: "Is there a possibility that when the scout tactics were all over the mountains looking for Liu Bei's camp, Pang Tong had already made plans to be discovered through the sudden increase in scouts. ”

Zhang Liao said: "This dense forest is everywhere, if it weren't for Mr. Zhuge 's clever calculations, he wouldn't have been able to find out where the camp was. Moreover, if Pang Shiyuan already knew that he had been discovered, why didn't he set up camp without moving? Even if there is not enough time, at least some people can be transferred, and there will not be tens of thousands of people without moving. ”

Lu Xun hesitated: "Maybe Pang Tong can't be sure?" ”

"That's not right."

Cao Wu shook his head again, and Zhang Liao's statement made him suddenly realize.

He pointed to the big pole and said: "This is the golden cicada shelling, because Wenyuan's camp site is too good, the army can't break through at all, and it can't go west or south, so Pang Shiyuan used a trick to get rid of the golden cicada, only took a few backbones, left early, and ran away while the battle here!" ”

"What ......"

Li Dian was shocked, this almost subverted the cognition of human nature, he couldn't believe that a person who grew up studying would make such a choice.

But after thinking about it, I realized that Cao had nothing to say, and he was stunned.

All the generals were also shocked, and the four words of the golden cicada out of their shells stimulated them fiercely.

This battlefield had been burning all night, and it was originally hot and dry, but at this moment, the generals only felt a deep chill.

Here are all characters who have fought in all directions, fought in battle formations, and made trade-offs, but people's hearts are flesh and blood, and they ask themselves, no one can abandon the 40,000 army.

What kind of military advisor would sacrifice more than 40,000 people and let them die in the flames, just to give themselves a chance to break through?

Lu Xun shook his head, he finally understood what he was wrong. After all, he misestimated human nature and underestimated Pang Tong's ruthlessness.

If he led the troops and hid between Tibet, he finally had more than 40,000 people who listened to his command, and it was impossible to abandon it like this, so he subconsciously believed that it was Liu Bei who was lying on the ground.

However, Pang Tong didn't look at things like this, he didn't treat these barbarians who didn't listen to the command as his own people at all, and he could abandon them at any time once he encountered danger.

This Pang Shiyuan is really too terrifying, too cold-blooded, these barbarians were comrades-in-arms with him the day before, and at this moment they became the object of his abandonment, not to mention, there are many Han soldiers who were also abandoned by him.

Lu Xun sighed, he also figured it out.

He turned his head to the three corpses and said, "Even if the golden cicada comes out of its shell, it is also a strong man who breaks his wrist." No wonder except for Liu Qi's son, Chen Zhi, and Mrs. Gan, no important person in Liu Xuande's army was found. I'm afraid that the military flags of those Guan and Zhang are also fake. It's all a trick, a trick! ”

"In this way, the enemy army used Wuxi Man as bait to lure us and others to take the bait, and while we were fighting, they left. Liu Qi, Chen Zhi, and Mrs. Gan who stayed behind are all outcasts. ”

Cao Wu suddenly remembered that during the Battle of Chibi that day, Chen Zhi was ordered to go to the south bank to arrest people and spread the epidemic, but in the end he was resisted and left by Xiahou Yuan led the army.

Liu Qi is to stabilize Shamoke and the others who stayed, after all, he is also a member of the Han family, his reputation is still there, and he is terminally ill, and he can't charge on horseback, whether he goes south to Jiaozhou or west to Yizhou, Liu Jingsheng's reputation in Jingzhou is no longer useful, and Liu Qi himself is useless.

As for the death of Mrs. Gan, it is likely that she is as seriously ill as Liu Qi and can no longer escape, so she will commit suicide.

Zhang Liao was ashamed and said: "I waited for almost the whole army to be dispatched, but I didn't expect to let Liu Xuande run away." Now that he has escaped, I am afraid it will be difficult to catch up. I am the commander-in-chief, and this matter is all caused by my carelessness, please punish the general. ”

Cao Wu has the Son of Heaven Festival in his hand, but he has never shown it, these generals went south, and Cao Wu actually has no affiliation, but they will come here by fate. However, because of Cao Wu's prestige and Cao Cao's reliance on him, they were all willing to obey Cao Wu's command.

Cao Wu smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Wenyuan, the responsibility is not on you, it is really Liu Bei and Pang Tong who are too treacherous, and even their own wives, generals, and nephews can make sacrifices, which is contrary to human ethics, how can we guess." ”

Zhang Liao sighed and shook his head: "If it weren't for the general's speculation, we would still think that Liu Xuande was dead, and I would be ashamed." ”

Xu Huang nodded and said, "It's really Liu Bei's treacherous guy who deceived all of us, but he couldn't fool our Beifu general!" ”

It was also the first time that the generals felt Cao Wu's precise judgment, boldly guessing in the details, peeling back the cocoon, and breaking the truth.

Yu Ban was the most steady, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Xuande only had dozens of people escaped, and when he couldn't make any more storms and waves, it was difficult to find in the mountains, so he had to give up the chase." ”

Li Dian and Le Jin nodded, and Zhang He clenched his fists, regretting that he couldn't take revenge.

Cao Wu asked Lu Xun to take out the map of Wuling again, and on the map, the traces of Zhuge Liang's circle drawing are still there.

Lu Xun pointed to Zhang Liao's camp and said: "Not necessarily, from the time Ding Hai's group was killed to our army's ignition, it was only three hours in between, but because of Mr. Zhuge 's clever calculation, he quickly guessed where the enemy camp was." But for Pang Tong, it is necessary to make sure that it has indeed been discovered, and at the same time to hide from Shamoke and gather important people, time is very tight after all. ”

Cao Wuye also looked at Zhang Liao's camp and continued to analyze: "They have few people, but it is easy to avoid our army, but if they go west or south, they still have to pass Wenyuan's camp, in this case, they must go carefully, it is late at night, they can't see, and they have to stop and rest, so they can't go too far." ”

The generals were overjoyed, everyone was an expert in the army, and each of them clicked a point on the map according to their own ideas.

This is the situation in which they substituted themselves into Liu Bei, and the position they can go to is estimated by even the young generals Wei Yan and Biqiu Jian.

Everyone summed up and found that it was not too far from Zhangliao Yingzhai, and there was a good chance to catch up.

It's just that half of them think that Liu Bei will go west to Yizhou, and half of them point out that Liu Bei will go south to Jiaozhou.

This is almost one-fifth of the famous generals in the entire world, and if Cao Wu clears the clouds, they will be able to discover the truth.

Cao Wu's palms were covered with sweat, he had been sniped by the power of history more than once, and now was the time to verify whether history would change.

He immediately made a decision and shouted, "Wen Lie! Wen Chang! ”

"The last general!"

Cao Xiu and Wei Yan came out of the crowd.

"The tiger and leopard rider is the elite of the world, can you recover Liu Xuande for me?"

"Yes!"

Cao Xiu replied loudly.

"Okay, divide half of the tiger and leopard to ride to Wen Chang, and the two of you will go south and west, day and night, chasing the enemy chieftain!"

"Whoa!"

Cao Xiu was okay, Wei Yan couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.

The two led the troops, Cao Xiu went west, and Wei Yan went south.
