Three Kingdoms: The rebellion was eavesdropped by Cao Cao

Seeing Liu Bei's pessimism, Zhuge Liang persuaded him:
"My lord, there is no need to be so pessimistic. Even if Cao Su possesses such terrifying power, our army still has more than 40 soldiers. As long as we work together to formulate offensive formations and tactics, we will still be able to fight!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei glanced at Zhuge Liang, "What Kong Ming said is that we suffer because we don't know Cao Su's strategy and the role of these new weapons. Now that we are on guard, we can definitely defeat the enemy!"

"That's what I said, brother, that thing is really fierce. Look at the injuries on my body. If it weren't for my thick skin, I'm afraid I would be blown to pieces on the spot!"

Zhang Fei yelled from the side at this time, while his whole body was still being bandaged by the military medical officer, there seemed to be no good skin all over his body, and there were bloodstains all over his body!
If it were an ordinary person, he would have died long ago!
But Zhang Fei is still alive and well, as if he has not been affected in the slightest!
Liu Bei looked at him, then turned to Zhuge Liang and asked:
"Kong Ming, how long will it take before we can bring back those scattered soldiers?"

"Back to the lord!"

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and said:

"It will take about three days. I have ordered people to plant flags everywhere. The soldiers who got separated have nothing to eat. They will come back when they see it!"

Liu Bei nodded after hearing this, "You did a good job, Kong Ming. After the soldiers are almost back, we will find a way to break through the gates of Hanzhong. These days, let's take a break first!"

"Yes!"

Zhuge Liang's head should be!
However, at this moment, a hurried voice of a soldier came from outside the door!
"Report!! My lord, it's not good. I just got a report. Cao Cao gathered 50 troops in Xuchang and sent troops to our side!"

"what?"

Liu Bei stood up with a bang, his expression full of disbelief!
"Why did Cao Cao send troops at this time?"

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang also showed a trace of solemnity on his face!
"My lord, it must be Cao Cao who heard about your defeat in Hanzhong and wanted to take this opportunity to wipe us out completely. I guess he must have sent troops in a panic this time!"

"Even if troops are dispatched in a panic, there are still 50 troops. We have just experienced a big defeat, how can we fight?"

Liu Bei looked angry at this time, and there was a suffocated fire in his heart that he had nowhere to vent!
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay after hearing this, feeling terrified in their hearts!
When Cao Cao sent troops at this time, he must have come out in full force. He wanted to take advantage of their defeat just now and wipe them out in one fell swoop, so it is absolutely impossible for Cao Cao to hold back this time!
The only fortunate thing is that Cao Cao's 50 troops set off here, and it will take more than ten days to get here!

There is still time to make adjustments for them!
At this time Zhuge Liang said:
"My lord, in fact, Cao Cao's expedition this time is a good thing for us!"

"Good thing?"

Liu Bei was taken aback, "How do you say that!"

Zhuge Liang said slowly, "My lord, think about it carefully, Cao Cao received the news just after Cao Su repelled us, presumably they must have a secret connection, and they want to use this opportunity to try to flank us, then Let's think about it differently, Cao Cao is defenseless on this journey!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei was stunned again, "Kong Ming, what do you mean, instead of retreating, we set up ambushes along the way of Cao Cao's expedition?"

Zhuge Liang nodded, then walked to the edge of the military division map, pointed and said:
"As long as we do the opposite, bypass Hanzhong, and go south from the border of Chang'an, we can go around to Cao Cao's rear. At this time, as long as we send out a surprise soldier, we can break the supply of Cao Cao's rear. At that time, Cao Cao will not Even if Cao Su is defeated in battle, he must not have time to react!"

Hearing Zhuge Liang's analysis, Liu Bei's pupils slowly widened, and after a while, he praised Shan Shan:

"Good strategy! In this way, we not only avoided Cao Su, but also ambushed Cao Cao. As long as this battle is won, Cao Cao will be completely at a disadvantage, and we can beat the dog in the water. Even if Cao Su reacts, Threatening to send troops, I am afraid it will be too late!"

Zhuge Liang nodded, "That's right, but...the next thing I want to remind my lord!"

"It's okay for Kong Ming to say!"

At this time Liu Bei was immersed in Zhuge Liang's ingenious plan and couldn't extricate himself, he didn't care what Zhuge Liang wanted to remind him at all!
It's been almost a month since the army went to war, and now he urgently needs a big victory to boost the morale of the army!
Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment and continued:

"Even if we win this battle, we can't take advantage of the victory and pursue it. We must return to defense immediately!"

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Liu Bei's face gradually froze, and he looked at him puzzled and asked:
"how do I say this?"

Zhuge Liang said quietly:

"My lord, have you forgotten Jingzhou? If we were here and Jingzhou was in trouble, we would be able to respond in time, but once we got involved in Chang'an and forced Cao Cao to retreat steadily, we would have to allocate a lot of troops to guard it. The obtained checkpoint, when Jingzhou is in trouble, how should we evacuate and support Jingzhou?"

Hearing this, Liu Bei asked back:
"Cao Cao is being chased by us, how could he have the leisure to attack Jingzhou? Kong Ming, you are too worried!"

"But what if it's Jiangdong?"

Zhuge Liang's words were astonishing, and he directly responded back!

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent!
They are fighting here now, with a very clear goal, and they have really forgotten the Jiangdong that has been silent for a long time!
After a while...

"Oh! How could Jiangdong's rats be the second brother's opponent? Military division, you are too cautious, right?"

Zhang Fei's rough voice broke the silence!

The others also took advantage of the situation and laughed, looking so disdainful!

"That's right! Military division, don't even look at it. Who is stationed in Jingzhou? That's the second master. If Jiangdong has ten courage, they won't dare to commit crimes!"

Zhou Cang also said with a smile.

However, seeing their attitude, Zhuge Liang frowned fiercely!

"You are so underestimating the enemy, I'm afraid that something bad will happen. Although there is no Zhou Yu in Jiangdong now, there are so many talents in Jiangdong. It is guaranteed that no one will show up. Lu Su is one of them!"

"Even if it's Lu Su, he's no match for my second brother!"

Zhang Fei continued to say arrogantly, "Who is my second brother? How can he not be able to deal with these Xiao Xiaoxiao, let me see, it is more appropriate for us to focus on how to destroy Cao Cao!"

"you……"

Zhuge Liang was suffocated by their self-righteous attitude, and immediately waved his sleeves angrily, "No matter what, I'm still a little worried about Jingzhou, my lord, we must not pursue!"

Liu Bei watched everyone's conversation, then smiled lightly and said:
"Kong Ming, you are worrying too much. Let's discuss how to win this first battle. Let's talk about the rest later!"

Zhuge Liang could only bow his hands and nod after hearing this!
"As ordered!"
