Han Shimou

Pan Feng went straight to the front of the stronghold, and Jia Xu was about to ask all the crossbowmen in the stronghold to shoot arrows to stop them. At this time, Zhuge Liang's military order came, and Pan Feng and others retreated one after another.Cao's soldiers lost a lot, more than [-] men.Cao Ren saw that although the other army's strength was small, it was superior to his own army. Thinking that the situation was not good, he ordered him to retreat temporarily.

Seeing that Cao Ren could not hold on, Xu Chu was filled with anger and came to see Cao Ren and asked.

"Commander! The other army has only [-] soldiers and horses, far less than our army. As long as our army attacks together, it can be defeated in one fell swoop! Why did the governor close the gate of the village!!!?"

Cao Ren was rendered speechless by Xu Chu's drink, and all the generals under his tent were afraid, and did not speak back.Jia Xu, who was originally frowning, became relieved because of Xu Chu's drink.

"Huhou's words are like a blow to the head! The strength of the two armies is very different, and Zhuge Liang has great ability, but it is difficult to fill the gap. We really think Zhuge Liang is too terrifying, so we are jealous and hesitate every step of the way. How can this be the case? There is a reason for invincibility! Commander, Hu Hou said it is true, we should take advantage of the situation to pursue, and there should be no further delay!"

As soon as Jia Xu said this, Cao Ren came to his senses, thanked Xu Chu immediately, and ordered all the soldiers to prepare their troops tomorrow and attack the other army's camp together.The generals were also inspired by Xu Chu, shouted loudly, took orders one after another, and rushed to issue orders for their deployment.

The next day, [-] Cao troops rushed towards Liu Jun's camp like a stormy sea. Unexpectedly, when Xu Chu rushed into the camp, he found that the camp was empty. It turned out that Zhuge Liang had already ordered the troops to retreat back to Xinye last night.So Cao Jun occupied his stronghold, and Cao Ren regretted it when he learned about it.

At night, Cao Ren frowned and his face was full of bewilderment. He had fought nearly a hundred battles in his life, and he had never experienced such a strange battle situation before him.Every move of the own army, every strategy, every choice, seems to be in the anticipation of the other army.The so-called know the enemy, know the enemy, and never be imperiled in a hundred battles.The other army seemed to know all the generals and counselors in the army well, while Cao Ren knew little about Zhuge Liang.Therefore, from Cao Ren onwards, every general and counselor in the army has been extremely cautious towards the other army, lest they fall into Zhuge Liang's scheme.

At this moment, Jia Xu stepped forward, his eyes were extremely bright.When Cao Ren saw this, he seemed to guess that Jia Xu had noticed Zhuge Liang's plan, so he couldn't help being overjoyed, and he got up and asked.

"Has the military master noticed it!?"

Jia Xu nodded solemnly, bowed his hands and said.

"Xu inspected the village today and found that there was no sign of a convoy passing through the village. From this point of view, Zhuge Liang had no intention of fighting our army here from the beginning, and was already ready to withdraw at any time. "

Cao Ren's face tightened slightly, as if he had sensed something, he asked in a groan.

"What is the meaning of the military division's words?"

"Zhuge Liang's former fan camp here is all to hinder our army's progress and buy time for the soldiers and horses to attack Fancheng!?"

"How is this possible! Even though Fancheng is empty of troops, there are still [-] soldiers guarding it. Even in the face of a strong attack by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it will take at least half a month to conquer! Besides, Zhuge Liang is so talented. On the way, dispatch troops and horses to assist Fancheng, just in case! His move is really reckless!"

Cao Ren's face changed greatly when he heard this, but he quickly refuted.Jia Xu squinted her eyes, shook her head and shouted in a concentrated voice.

"No! Zhuge Liang was not reckless, but won by surprise! He predicted that we would all be afraid of him, and the march would be cautious and slow, so he handed over most of the soldiers and horses to the command of a brave general, and rushed to Fancheng for a sneak attack. At the same time, he sent the rest of the soldiers Horse, resist for a few days in the Xinye realm. According to the previous detailed report, Xinye City has about [-] soldiers. I saw that the other army had [-] soldiers and horses, which means that the soldiers who attacked Fancheng were [-]. The number! By the time our army reaches Xinye City, Fancheng has already been lost!"

Cao Ren couldn't help but panic when he heard this, and cried out.

"Once Fancheng is lost, our army's rear will be cut off, and the morale of the army will be in chaos. How can we be invincible! Fancheng must not be lost! Can the military commander have a plan to turn the tide!?"

In fact, Fancheng cannot be lost. For Cao Ren, there is another personal reason, and that is the safety of Cao Chun who is guarding Fancheng.Cao Chunnai is a brother of the clan, even a blood relative!

Jia Xu's gaze froze for a moment, and he said coldly.

"If you want to turn the tide, you have to. I have a plan to make Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang die without a place to bury them!"

"The plan is to come out from An? The military division comes quickly."

Cao Ren's eyes widened suddenly, his face burst into joy, and he asked again hastily.However, Jia Xu then said something that made Cao Ren's heart skip a beat.

"Zhuge Liang turned his sword to the front, so risky. We might as well use our strategy, abandon Fancheng, and attack Xinye wildly! Xinye City is only guarded by [-] troops. As long as the commander orders, let [-] Cao's troops fight with their backs. Within half a month, Xinye City will definitely fall. At that time, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others will all become prisoners of the commander-in-chief!"

Jia Xu is worthy of being a "poison man", and this plan can be described as ruthless. He knows that Cao Chun and Cheng Yu are in danger and are in danger.But he still ignored it, and instead wanted to use this point to achieve his desired goal!

Cao Ren was horrified when he heard this, and looked at Jia Xu's lustful gaze, and felt shuddering!

After a while, Cao Ren finally came to his senses, burst into anger, and shouted sharply.

"Jia Wenhe, do you know that there is my brother Cao Zixiao in Fancheng! Cao Chun and Cheng Yu are loyal men. They know that Fancheng is very important and must not be lost. They must stick to it and stick to it for our army until the city is broken. Time. If Fancheng is really lost, Cao Chun and Cheng Yu will undoubtedly die! How can you bear to abandon each other!!!?"

Facing Cao Ren's scolding, Jia Xu didn't change his face, looked directly at Cao Ren's tiger eyes, and said in a cold voice.

"Liu Bei is a hero in the world. In the past, he suffered repeated defeats because of his useless army strategists. This time he has acquired Zhuge Liang, a great sage of the ages, and his rising momentum is unstoppable! If you don't take advantage of it, get rid of it as soon as possible. When he is strong enough, the prime minister's great cause of unifying the world will be in the foreseeable future. What's more, you and I have already heard that Liu Jingsheng has been dying of illness in recent years, and Liu Bei will definitely take the opportunity to take Jingzhou as his home! If so, Peter The foundation of Jingzhou, and then unite with the Sun family in Jiangdong, and Qiqi will fight against the prime minister. Even if the prime minister conquers the northwest, it will be difficult to resist the combination of Sun and Liu!

Dudu, the prime minister's imperial ambitions and hegemony are all in your mind, if you make a wrong choice this time, the consequences will be serious, and the disaster will be extended to the world for decades! "

As soon as Jia Xu's words fell, Cao Ren was like being bombarded by thunder, and he lost his mind suddenly.Jia Xu slowly closed his eyes, and sighed in his heart, Zhuge Liang is too terrifying, if not for that, Jia Xu would not have made such a vicious plan.Jia Xu knew that even if Cao Ren acted according to the plan and conquered Xinye, he would help Cao Cao eliminate Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, who were deeply troubled.But Cao Cao would never feel any gratitude towards him, after all, Cao Chun was a member of the Cao family, and Cao Cao might even hate him even more.At the same time, Cao Ren, Xiahou brothers and others will also harbor resentment towards him.At that time, Jia Xu's official career in this life can be said to be ruined.

Jia Xu proposed this strategy after careful consideration earlier, and he had already thought in his heart that if Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were eliminated, he would resign from Cao Cao, hide in the mountains, and never care about world affairs.

Jia Xu has always been an extremely selfish person. In order not to arouse Cao Cao's fear, he deliberately concealed his talents and made Guo Jia the number one adviser under Cao Cao's command.He is different from Guo Jia. Although Guo Jia is unrestrained, he is loyal and upright, and he can even be said to be a foolish and loyal person.Cao Cao will never be suspicious of Guo Jia.Although he never objected, he was not as loyal as Guo Jia by nature. Cao Cao also noticed this, so Jia Xu never dared to make friends with other important officials under Cao Cao's command.

But even Jia Xu like this has a heart of loving the people.The world has been ravaged by war for a long time, and he really can't bear to prolong the period of chaos in the world because of Liu Bei's growth!

Cao Ren seemed to be making an extremely embarrassing and painful decision, with bulging veins on his head, teeth clenched tightly, and sometimes he would cast hatred-filled gazes at Jia Xu.Jia Xu closed his eyes and rested his mind, and stood quietly. After his words just now, he never opened his mouth to obstruct Cao Ren's thoughts.

After an unknown amount of time, Cao Ren's eyes were red, and he said every word.

"Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are nothing but rats! The prime minister has millions of soldiers, so there is nothing to be afraid of! The military commanders don't have to worry too much. After the prime minister conquers the northwest, he will take over the forces of the northwest and send a million troops south to Jingzhou. If the rats dare to stop them Use an egg to hit a rock, and a mantis to block a car!!"

When Jia Xu heard this, her body trembled and she sighed inwardly.Cao Ren has a cautious temperament, commands his troops well, uses them like a god, and manages the army strictly, but he is still a little short of a perfect handsome talent.That is ruthless!

"It turns out that the governor's attention has been fixed, and Xu dare not interfere any more. I also hope that the governor will order the army to mobilize as soon as possible and rush back to Fancheng, just in case."

Cao Ren looked grim, nodded slightly, and Jia Xu dismissed him as a courtesy.

Cao Ren made a decision to reject Jia Xu's poisonous strategy of breaking his arm, gave up the great opportunity to wipe out Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and drove his troops to Fancheng for rescue.

At the same time, Liu Jun's scouts learned that [-] Cao Jun had suddenly withdrawn, and hurried to Xinye City to report.Let's say that after Liu Bei took his army back to Xinye City, he was full of anxiety.Pan Feng, Hua Xiong and other generals were also restless.There is no other reason. At present, Xinye City is empty of troops, with only [-] troops guarding it, and most of the soldiers and horses were transferred by Zhuge Liang to attack Fancheng.And just ten miles away from Xinye City, there are a full [-] Cao Jun. If Cao Jun overturns and attacks, within half a month, Xinye will be trampled to the ground!

But Zhuge Liang was quite different from everyone else, with a calm smile on his face, he gently flicked the goose feather fan in his hand, and suddenly his faint smile gradually became brighter, and he said softly.

"It's time to come back."

As soon as Zhuge Liang said this, Liu Bei, Pan Feng and others changed their colors one after another, and Liu Bei just wanted to open his mouth to ask.Suddenly a scout came quickly and knelt down to report.

"Report! Thirty thousand Cao troops have evacuated the Xinye realm overnight and are rushing back to Fancheng!"

"Huh? The troops have been withdrawn! As Kong Ming expected, the troops have really been withdrawn!! Hahaha, Kong Ming, you are truly a god!"

Liu Bei was overjoyed, and laughed out loud.Pan Feng and Hua Xiong looked at each other with astonishment in their eyes.Zhuge Liang calmly stood up and bowed slowly.

"Cao Zixiao withdrew his army and left. The danger in Xinye has been eliminated. If the Lord does not send troops to pursue him at this time, when will he wait?"

"Hahahaha! What the military adviser said is true!

Liu Bei responded with a nod, and issued a military order to Pan Feng and Hua Xiong, and Pan Feng and Hua Xiong took the order and left.

But it is said that a few days ago, Gao Lan led Cao Ren's order and led five thousand tigers and leopards to rush back to Fancheng.Gao Lan urged the army to advance quickly, and just arrived at the border of Fancheng, there was a sudden sound of cannon, and on the left and right roadsides, the sound of countless bowstrings burst out like a rainstorm.Gao Lan was shocked. When he came back to his senses, he found that there were arrows all over his left and right.Gao Lan quickly swung his gun to resist and shot down countless arrows, but even so, the arrows were too dense, and they came suddenly, Gao Lan was shot by several arrows.And Gao Lan's soldiers and horses were shot and wounded more than a thousand people.

"Withdraw!! Quickly withdraw!!!"

Gao Lan yelled sharply, and immediately galloped forward. He wanted to escape the range of the range, and his deployment quickly followed.The left and right ambush troops fired several rounds of arrows in succession, shooting and killing nearly two thousand Cao troops.

At this moment, suddenly a group of about 500 men and horses rushed out in front of them, and the leading general was Liu Bei's general Tai Shici.Tai Shici stared at the tiger, rode his horse and flew out, and went straight to kill Gao Lan.Gao Lan was still in shock, and when he saw Tai Shici coming to kill him, he responded hastily.I saw the thunder spear in Tai Shici's hand, as fast as lightning, stabbing Gao Lan's heart.Gao Lan flashed sharply, and saw the Benlei gun rush past Gao Lan's body.Gao Lan broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly raised his gun and stabbed Tai Shici in the face.Tai Shici quickly drew back the Benlei Spear, and held it against it.At this time, Tai Shici's lead and deployment all came to kill, Gao Lan didn't dare to fight, he just retreated, killed a bloody road and escaped.Tai Shici led his troops to fight the remnants of Cao's army, and wiped out nearly a thousand more.There were less than a thousand Cao Jun tiger and leopard cavalry who escaped with Gao Lan.

Gao Lan was ambushed and fled to a hidden linkou. Seeing that there were no pursuers behind him, he quickly rectified his troops.Gao Lan, disgraced and disheveled, was in a state of embarrassment.The surrounding tigers and leopards all had lingering fear on their faces.Gao Lan had a sullen face, thinking that he was ambushed by Liu Jun as soon as he arrived in the realm of Fancheng.Sure enough, as Jia Xu expected, Zhuge Liang sent troops to attack Fancheng.Right now he has lost most of his soldiers and horses, and it is useless to rush to Fancheng.After Gao Lan made up his mind, he ordered the soldiers and horses to detour back to Xinye Realm and inform Cao Ren of the matter of Fancheng.
