"Second brother, why are you asking for gold?!"

Seeing Zhang Fei rushing back, Pan Feng felt confident, so she replied.

"Xu, Dian's evil bandits are extremely brave, and there is a 'ghost' Guo Fengxiao in the bandit army. Don't underestimate the enemy. Just now I saw most of the other army's troops coming to meet them. I was afraid that my brother would advance rashly, so I asked for money to withdraw!"

Hearing this, Zhang Fei was filled with remorse, and shouted with a bit of resentment.

"My brother ruined my big business. If I don't accept the army, I will have killed Xu Zhongkang! Letting him escape to the village now is like letting a tiger go back to the mountain. It's a pity!"

Pan Feng frowned, as if she didn't want to argue with Zhang Fei, and didn't answer.The two took their troops back to Xiangyang City to report to Zhuge Liang.A crowd of civil and military officials heard that Zhang Fei had won a victory, and they all came to celebrate and praised Zhang Fei for his bravery.Only Zhuge Liang sat in the high hall and asked Zhang Fei with a cold face.

"Did General Zhang bring Xu Zhongkang's head?"

Zhang Fei's face tightened, he bowed indignantly, and replied coldly.

"I was chasing and killing him all the way. I saw that he was about to be captured and killed. I didn't know that the bandit army rescued him quickly. The second brother was afraid of being cheated, so he asked for money to withdraw the troops, so he has not yet obtained the leader of the bandit!"

Zhuge Liang's face turned cold when he heard the words, and he said reluctantly.

"It's so. According to the military order, General Zhang failed to obtain Xu Zhongkang's head, and the previous two crimes have not been eliminated. Why not take advantage of the momentum and pursue and kill Xu Zhongkang as soon as possible!?"

As soon as Zhuge Liang's words fell, the expressions of all the civil and military personnel in Jingzhou changed, and they all thought that Zhuge Liang was too aggressive.Mi Fang's expression froze, with a bit of anger, she attended and said.

"The bandit army is first defeated, so we must be more careful. If the three generals march very tightly, it will be easy for the bandits to take advantage of them. Why should the military commander be so aggressive!?"

Zhuge Liang heard the words, his face changed in the hall, he slapped the table and shouted sharply.

"Presumptuous!!! Mi Zifang, how dare you question my military advisor in public!!!"

Mi Fang's expression remained unchanged, her eyes were calm and fearless, and she answered with a concentrated voice.

"Military commander, calm down. I'm just talking about facts!"

"The sword seal is here, I am the leader of an army, how dare you underestimate me!!?"

Zhuge Liang pointed to the sword mark, his face full of threats.Seeing this, Mi Fang didn't dare to say more.Zhuge Liang was so angry that he shouted at the left and right and beat Mi Fang with sticks.All the officials couldn't persuade them, all of them complained, but they dared not understand.Seeing this, Zhang Fei stared around and roared angrily.

"Zhuge Kongming, you blamed me for not listening to your decrees earlier, and you want to punish me even more, so why blame others!?"

Zhuge Liang didn't answer, but stared at Zhang Fei coldly.Zhang Fei was so angry that he gritted his teeth, as if he was about to explode, as if he wanted to tear Zhuge Liang in two, Pan Feng rushed to stop him secretly.Zhang Fei suppressed his anger, gritted his steel teeth, and roared.

"I will lead the army out of the city right now, and if I don't take Xu Zhongkang's head, I swear not to return to Xiangyang City!!"

After Zhang Fei finished drinking, he turned around angrily, and came out of the hall with an angry voice, Pan Feng followed closely.Seeing this, Jingzhou's civil and military officials all had gloomy faces and complained in their hearts.Lin Yiji secretly watched with elation, and thought to himself that Zhuge Liang was gradually losing support, and the days of breaking Xiangyang were just around the corner.

In addition, Xu Chu, Dian Wei and others will withdraw their troops and return to the stronghold, and gather together under Guo Jia's tent.Xu Chu asked Guo Jia with some doubts.

"The strategist really thought that Zhang Yide would take the initiative to lead troops to plunder!?"

Guo Jia listened to the words, smiled brightly, and analyzed carefully.

"Zhang Yide's temperament is very hot, and he has issued a military order. He failed to kill Huhou today. How can he bear Zhuge Liang's cold ridicule. If I predict correctly, he will definitely take the initiative to lead troops here! Immediately, you follow my plan , entangled with it slowly, within a few days, it will surely be defeated and returned."

Seeing that Guo Jia had a plan in mind, Xu Chu had no doubts at the moment, so he resigned with Dian Wei.

The next day, as Guo Jia expected, Zhang Fei and Pan Feng rushed to the foot of the mountain with [-] soldiers and horses to call for a battle.Guo Jia heard the report from the soldiers, but he didn't take the initiative to attack. He only ordered the soldiers from all ministries to guard the camp tightly to prevent the Jingzhou army from attacking the camp.

Zhang Fei scolded at the foot of the mountain for a long time, but he still didn't see any response from the Wei soldiers in the village on the mountain, so he immediately wanted to lead his troops up the mountain to fight.Pan Feng hurriedly reined in his horse to stop him, and said in a concentrated voice.

"The enemy's stronghold is based on the mountain. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are many people. If the third brother attacks rashly, he will lose more and win less. Besides, Guo Fengxiao is treacherous and resourceful. Don't underestimate the enemy. Third brother, retreat first. , set up a camp nearby, and it’s not too late to plan it slowly!"

Hearing what Zhang Fei said, he seemed to know that no more mistakes should be made now, so he followed Pan Feng's advice and withdrew the army five or six miles away, and set up camp.The scouts of Wei went down the mountain to find out, and came to report to Guo Jia. Guo Jia heard that Zhang Fei was setting up a camp at the foot of the mountain. Do not take it out lightly.

It was night, but it was said that Zhang Fei started a battalion, and it was the first watch of the night. Except for the patrolling soldiers and horses, all the troops had rested.At this time, Zhang Fei and Pan Feng were discussing matters under the tent.

"Now that the camp has been laid down, the third brother quickly opened the army division to give him a bag of tips, let's see how to lay it out now!"

Hearing the words, Zhang Fei took out a kit from his bosom, opened it and looked at it.After Zhang Fei looked at it, his expression was sneering, and he smiled very strangely, and handed the strategy in the kit to Pan Feng, Pan Feng frowned, took it and watched it, also had a strange expression, and looked at it several times upside down Finally, he showed a look of incomprehension.

"Haha!! The military master is really interesting, he actually taught me to drink alcohol and whip soldiers!! It's really puzzling!! If I hadn't made a decision earlier, I would have thought that the military master wanted to harm me!!"

Pan Feng concentrated her attention and said in a low voice.

"Third brother can't make mistakes. The military adviser is so talented, how can ordinary people guess what he thinks? There must be deep meaning in it. Third brother should act according to plan."

Hearing this, Zhang Fei also understood that Zhuge Liang's wisdom was beyond ordinary people's imagination. Moreover, Guo Fengxiao was also a unparalleled talent, so it is natural to win by surprise when confronting him.After Zhang Fei thought about it, he nodded heavily and acted according to plan.

The next day, Zhang Fei went to fight again, but Wei Bing remained silent.Zhang Fei ordered the soldiers to curse in every possible way, and the [-] Jingzhou soldiers and horses shouted curses at the foot of the mountain with their throats raised.A wave of cursing sounded, shaking the whole mountain as if it was shaking.Jingzhou soldiers and horses scolded day after day, but Wei soldiers ignored it.Zhang Fei had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

In the coming days, Zhang Fei did the same. The Wei soldiers on the mountain still stood still and only guarded the camp.After several days in a row, Zhang Fei seemed to have nothing to do, so he drank alcohol every day at the foot of the mountain until he was very drunk, sitting in front of the mountain and insulting him.Wei Bing's scouts discovered it and came to report it to Guo Jia. Guo Jia heard the report, and a wild smile appeared on his face. He rode his horse to the top of the mountain and looked down.Seeing that Zhang Fei was drinking before the battle, he was yelling at the front of the mountain like a drunk maniac.It was also seen that Jingzhou soldiers and horses were extremely lax and their formations were chaotic.Guo Jia saw it, and his heart was full of joy, but he still didn't let the soldiers take advantage of the chaos to attack.

It is said that Mi Fang came to reward the army and saw that Zhang Fei was drinking all day under the enemy's stronghold. The sergeants were all slack and unprepared.

"The third general was drunk and had an accident. The second general knew that the third general should not make mistakes, so why didn't he stop him!?"

Pan Feng heard the words, fearing that the plan would leak out, he only said that he had already persuaded him, but Zhang Fei's hot temper, coupled with the fact that everything was not going well, was hard to stop, so he just evaded it.Seeing that Pan Feng indulged Zhang Fei and allowed him to drink too much, Mi Fang was very disturbed, and hurried back to Xiangyang City to report to Zhuge Liang.

Unexpectedly, after Zhuge Liang heard this, he was not moved, and instead ordered Mi Fang to speak.

"It turns out that Yi Deyu used wine to relieve his boredom. There may be no good wine in front of the army. Xiangyang has a lot of good wine. Zifang, you can pack fifty urns into three carts and send them to the front of the army to drink with General Zhang."

Mi Fang's expression changed drastically upon hearing the words, and she quickly remonstrated.

"The three generals used to do bad things repeatedly because of their greed for alcohol, and they were often in a bad mood. When they got drunk, they would whip the soldiers to vent their hatred. Why did the military commander give him wine instead?"

The more Mi Fang spoke, the louder the volume became.In my heart, I secretly thought that Zhuge Liang wanted to be Zhang Fei.Seeing the angry look on Mi Fang's face, Zhuge Liang immediately guessed what he was thinking, fearing that Mi Fang might misunderstand and ruin the event.Zhuge Liang squinted his bright eyes and shouted back to the left and right, whispering to Mi Fang in a low voice.

"Although Kong Ming has been with the public not long ago, don't you know what kind of person Kong Ming is? Previously, Yide and I turned against each other and argued with each other repeatedly. It was really a joke. Now Yide and Guo Jia refuse to go down the mountain, drinking too much, as if they were nothing People, it is really defeating Guo Fengxiao's plan!"

When Mi Fang heard the words, her expression changed again and again, and she thought that the two of them were really enemies, and she was afraid that Zhuge Liang would deceive her, so there was still a bit of suspicion in her eyes.Seeing it, Zhuge Liang thought that Mi Fang was Liu Bei's brother-in-law, and his younger sister married Liu Bei, so there was absolutely no possibility of turning against him, so he revealed the whole plan in a low voice.Mi Fang listened carefully one by one, only then did she wake up, and hurriedly clapped her hands and said.

"So that's how it is! I don't know what to do, and I mistakenly violated the dignity of the military master before, so I hope the military master can't be blamed."

Zhuge Liang forgot about that matter long ago, and laughed with Mi Fang, with a big smile to explain the previous grievances, and then discussed with Mi Fang for a while, and taught Fu Qi not to leak the news, which would spoil the big event.When Mi Fang heard the words, she asked suspiciously.

"The strategist's resourcefulness is superior to that of Zhang Zifang, who has prospered in the Han Dynasty for 300 years. The counselors and generals under the old thief Cao have been defeated by the strategist time and time again. Why is the strategist so cautious in dealing with Guo Fengxiao?"

Zhuge Liang's bright eyes, which seemed to be able to see through all depths, shone brightly, and said in a concentrated voice.

"Guo Fengxiao's wisdom is definitely not under the light, and this person has always been good at using ingenuity and unconstrained thinking, which is hard to predict. If it weren't for his master Cao Mengde, who is superior in strategy and talent, there is little use of Guo Fengxiao. I'm afraid. The person who was hailed as the most wise man in the world in the past should belong to this person!! You must not be careless in dealing with such people, otherwise, as long as there is a little gap, he will definitely use it, and then destroy it vigorously, resulting in a catastrophe !!!”

After hearing this, Mi Fang's complexion kept changing. According to what Zhuge Liang said, this Guo Fengxiao was actually a bit stronger than that Eastern Wu Zhou Gongjin.Only now did Mi Fang understand why Zhuge Liang was so cautious.

In addition, Zhang Fei yelled and scolded for another day, but Wei Bing didn't respond, Zhang Fei was furious and withdrew his troops back to the village.At night, Zhang Fei got drunk and felt bored.
