Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!

Chapter 115 Zhuge Wende shocked China!
Fancheng has been trapped for more than ten days, making travel inconvenient. Reports from Fancheng have not been reached for six or seven days.

In the past, when the military counselor Zhuge Ming sent Zhao Yun to Fancheng, Liu Bei was confused and did not understand why the military counselor wanted Zilong to risk his life and defend a small area alone.

Although Jingzhou is not powerful, it still has 20 soldiers and horses. If a decisive battle is to be fought, it can join forces with the Jiangxia navy to resist Cao Cao.

But the military adviser refused and arranged 20 troops and horses in various places in Jingzhou. The troops in Jiangdong did not know that they would come for reinforcements.

Instead, Zhao Yun was given a fatal order to defend Fancheng for fifteen days.He also issued a military order to throw away Fancheng within fifteen days. All fifty thousand soldiers under Zilong will be punished with death and will be executed upon their return!After guarding the city for fifteen days, even if Fan City is lost, it has nothing to do with the Zilong soldiers!

Counting now, it’s almost the twentieth day!

With trembling hands, Liu Bei took the report from the scout, threw the envelope on the ground, and looked at it carefully.

"For thirteen days after guarding the city, Cao's army's offensive became more fierce. Seven groups approached, intending to force me to abandon the city and flee. However, the soldiers of the three armies saved their lives, and the lord was blessed. Seven groups of soldiers and horses returned in vain. The city was littered with dead and wounded, and corpses lay everywhere. Everywhere. Our army also suffered heavy casualties, extremely serious."

"What makes Yun even more worried is that Cao Jun's offensive has exceeded expectations. Although the food and wages in the city are sufficient, the defensive equipment, including arrows, feathers and cannons, are already stretched thin and are running out."

When Liu Bei saw this, he was also nervous and secretly worried. If Cao's army leaves and comes back at this moment, how can I, General Zilong, respond to the enemy?

"In the early morning of the [-]th, outside the south gate, Yun Chang suddenly led hundreds of ships, carrying more than [-] southern barbarian soldiers from the southern barbarian king Meng Huo. Yun was very happy. It was all thanks to the military adviser's quick action. The arrangements were already in place, and Fancheng was saved. !”

Liu Bei laughed loudly, holding the letter in his left hand, and patted the case with his right hand and said: "Our military advisor is very clever and accurate. He asked Zilong to stay in Fancheng for fifteen days. It turns out that there was an arrangement for it, but I don't have to worry about it. I worry every day!"

Excited, he sat down on the spot, took off his shoes and socks and put them under his buttocks, holding the letter in both hands, and continued reading.

The captains and scouts around him all pursed their lips and smiled. Unexpectedly, the lord was as cute as a baby.

"On the 15th, Cao Cao came again with his army. This time, there were not only seven troops, but also Xu Chu's more than [-] tiger and brave cavalry. It was all thanks to the power of the Southern Barbarian King, and the vine armor soldiers cleverly borrowed arrows to win [-] soldiers. Diao Ling was left to replenish the city's armaments. The elephant division rushed into the formation, and the beast-control battalion took advantage of the darkness to intercept and kill them in the middle of the night. In one battle, nearly [-] soldiers and horses of Cao's thieves were wiped out, and the morale of Fancheng was greatly boosted!"

Liu Bei cheered again, rolled up his trousers, and clapped his hands on his calves when he was happy. He made a croaking sound, and he was overjoyed: "The Southern Barbarian soldiers and horses are really amazing soldiers. Only today did I understand the reason why the military advisor was so deep in the snow. Otherwise, The sound is enough, it’s a blockbuster!”

"On the [-]th, Cao Ying and Jiang Qian came. Meng Huo and I opened the military adviser's bag and acted according to the plan. Jiang Qian fell into the trap and left. Two days later, on the [-]th, Cao Ying set up false flags and returned to Wancheng as a squadron. Got it!"

"Now Zhao Yun and the Nanman King are stationed in Fancheng. Please let me know the arrangements as soon as possible."

"Looking forward to the reply!"

Liu Bei laughed loudly, stood up, straightened his trousers and clothes: "Hurry and prepare your horses, I want to go to the Military Advisor's Mansion to report the victory!"

……

In the Military Advisor's Mansion, there was laughter and joy at the moment, and Military Advisor Zhuge Ming was discussing matters with Zhuge Liang, Ma Liang and others.

Zhuge Ming was ingenious and proposed a new rectification plan for military rations, creating new products called "instant noodles" and "compressed biscuits", which are not only easy to carry and easy to eat, but also can be stored for a long time and are not easy to deteriorate. Ma Liang sent his servants to brew them according to the law. The three of them were sitting around the table, tasting each one.

"military adviser!"

"Congratulations, strategist, we have a great victory. Everything is as the strategist expected. Cao Cao has indeed retreated from Wancheng!"

Liu Bei didn't have time to tie up his horse, so he came to the gate of the Military Advisor's Mansion, handed the horse to the captain guarding the gate, clapped his hands and hurried towards the mansion, laughing loudly and saying.

"My lord, you are here at the right time. Let's try the craftsmanship of a military advisor!"

When Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei coming in, he picked up a piece of bread from the table and handed it over.

"What is this?"

Liu Bei took it and weighed it in his palm. It was as light as if it were nothing. The whole body was like a thousand-layer net, showing a yellowish white color and exuding a delicate fragrance.

"Taste the taste first, and then I'll tell you."

Zhuge Ming smiled slightly, pointed at the object in Liu Bei's hand and said.

Liu Bei put it into his mouth tentatively and took a bite. He felt it was crunchy and delicious, and it broke into pieces when he bit it. The rich aroma of wheat was refreshing.

"Sure enough, delicious!"

Liu Bei praised it, picked up another piece from the table, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

Ma Liang came over, handed a cup of hot water to Liu Bei, and explained with a smile: "The military advisor named this item 'instant noodles'. As long as it is kept dry, it will not become moldy even after three to five months. And it is extremely light. It is easy to carry. When you are in trouble, you can just put it in your mouth, chew it, swallow it, and replenish water to maintain your physical fitness."

Liu Bei took the water glass, but before he could drink it, he burped twice in a row.

Zhuge Liang and Ma Liang looked at each other and smiled. Zhuge Liang said: "The most important thing when eating this food is that you must not lack water, otherwise your lungs will become dry and you will feel uncomfortable!"

Liu Bei drank two large glasses of water in a row, and he felt full.

"My Lord is here in great excitement, but do you have any good news to tell us?"

Zhuge Ming waved his folding fan, looked at Liu Bei in a leisurely and calm manner, and asked with a smile.

"what!"

Liu Bei slapped his head: "I almost forgot. Fancheng is very happy, Cao's thieves have withdrawn their troops back to Wancheng! Now I, Fancheng, am as safe as Mount Tai!"

Zhuge Ming nodded and smiled slightly, as if he was not surprised. Everything was as expected.

"Everything is as expected! Brother's plan is not as good as mine!"

Zhuge Liang threw the feather fan in his hand on the ground, looked at Zhuge Ming beside him with a bewildered look, and sighed.

Ma Liang put his hands on his forehead as if praying to heaven, but his eyes always fell on Zhuge Ming.

"Cao Cao withdrew his troops. With an army of millions, everyone should be grateful to his military advisor for surviving."

"The military adviser has a benevolent heart, and God also has the virtue of good life! The military adviser's plan is like heaven's calculation. From the day the war started in Fancheng, today's outcome has been clearly estimated! It's a true heaven and man!" Zhuge Ming suddenly sighed and turned his back to Everyone walked a few steps forward and arrived at a flower stand at the side of the courtyard, staring at the rose as red as blood.

"Commander, Cao's army has retreated and Jingxiang has turned the corner. Why don't you look happy at all, but still sigh like this?"

Liu Bei walked gently behind Zhuge Ming and asked strangely.

Zhuge Ming looked at the birds in the sky, and then looked down at the red flowers: "The war has not stopped, there will be more violent storms coming!"

Wancheng.

Cao Cao used Yang Xiu as a pretext to defuse the morale of the army, killed Yang Xiu, and retreated his troops. At the moment when the enemy in Fancheng defenders could not respond, nearly 40 troops and horses retreated to Wancheng safely.

At this time, all the soldiers and horses were arranged, and all the grain and grass that had not been transported to Fancheng were distributed. The soldiers received new clothes, had enough food and rice, and their morale was somewhat restored, but they were still confused about how to march next.

In the large tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao finished arranging the military affairs and ordered all the generals to retreat, but left only five counselors to discuss important matters.

"Withdrawing troops from Wancheng is a helpless move. Yang Xiu, son, has had second thoughts for a long time. He actually dares to spread rumors privately and confuses the morale of our army. He is colluding with both internal and external forces to ruin our great mission!"

"I originally wanted to use Jiang Qian's words to form another army, wash Fancheng with blood, and kill all the southern barbarian soldiers to avenge the past. Unexpectedly, it backfired and I couldn't use it to retreat here."

"You can give me a good idea on what to do next."

The five counselors each sighed in their hearts. Yang Xiu died unjustly. Even though his head was gone, he still had to bear the infamy of treason and surrender to the enemy.

But there is no one else to blame for this matter. We can only blame Yang Xiu for being clever and guessing the prime minister's thoughts without authorization, which got him into trouble and lost his head.

A little wise man displays his wisdom, lest the world does not know about it.A wise person hides his wisdom, lest the world know his wisdom.

"Prime Minister, it is a good strategy for our troops to withdraw from Wancheng. We can not only defend the capital and prevent Ma Chao's troops from going south, but also wait and see Jingzhou to wait for the right time."

Chen Qun spoke first.

Cao Cao nodded: "Thanks to Xun Lingjun of Xuchang for this matter. If he hadn't spread rumors that I had already withdrawn my troops, Ma Chao probably wouldn't be so cautious. If he didn't have enough food and grass every day, he wouldn't dare to advance even half a mile." Step. Otherwise, I am afraid that Xuchang would have fallen into Ma Chao's hands by now."

Zhong Yao smiled softly: "Not only Ma Chao, but also Yizhou Liu Zhang, I am afraid that after confirming the Prime Minister's withdrawal, he will not dare to respond remotely. Sooner or later, he will retreat to Sichuan with his tail between his legs."

Cao Cao said coldly: "When a tiger takes a nap, he becomes a sick cat. He is a monster and a snake, and he wants to share in the fun! Liu Zhang is a mediocre person, and he lives in the prosperous land of Yizhou. If I hadn't seen him as useless , raising him for hundreds of years is just for this reason, Yizhou was destroyed long ago, why wait until today!"

Cheng Yu stood up and said sternly: "What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true. Since Yuan Shao's death, the only people in the world who are worried are Ma Teng from Xiliang, Liu Bei from Jingzhou, and Sun Quan from Jiangdong. Zhang Lu in Hanzhong and Liu Zhang in Yizhou are all withered bones in their graves. , has no ambition and no resourcefulness, and will belong to the prime minister sooner or later. Now that Jiangdong has reached an alliance with Jingzhou, and the prime minister previously blamed him for Chong Shao's death, he is afraid and will not join. And Ma Chao comes from Xiliang to kill Come on, it can be said that we are fighting against three opponents in one battle. If we succeed, the world will be settled, if we fail, then..."

Cao Cao suddenly laughed loudly, drank from himself, raised the glass in his hand, and drank it all in one gulp: "Failure will be like three families dividing the Jin Dynasty, dividing up all my military power. You and other ministers can also divide their power. Find the bright master and move forward!"

The five counselors panicked and stood up in a hurry. They knelt in front of Cao Cao one after another, kowtowed and said in unison: "We will be loyal to the Prime Minister for life and will never dare to have second thoughts! Prime Minister Tianwei is here. Liang Ma Chao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan and several clowns. , An can stir up big waves and endanger the country!"

Cao Cao didn't take it seriously at all. He slowly poured himself a glass of wine and poured it into his mouth.

"A good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a wise minister chooses his master to serve. This is a natural thing, so why should we be afraid? If there comes a day when I have no time to take care of myself, how can I blame you? A man is born in heaven and earth, and he should establish himself as an immortal. Gong, to adhere to the moral integrity to the extreme, is pedantic to the extreme."

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly showed a hint of determination again, and he said in a deep voice: "But you can rest assured, the people in the world who can destroy me, Cao Cao, have not yet been born! As you said, these clowns are not a problem, we Sooner or later he will be captured!"

"Follow me, and I will lead you to achieve unparalleled achievements, to be famous in history, to be carried on bamboo and silk forever, and to be remembered forever!"

The five great counselors all expressed their thanks and bowed again, saying: "I would like to express my gratitude to the Prime Minister for your dedication and hard work. I will serve the Prime Minister with all my loyalty and wisdom!"

Cao Cao smiled softly, glanced at the faces of the five counselors, and suddenly asked jokingly: "Are you really loyal to me? Or are you loyal to the big man?"

The five great counselors each trembled. Xun You remembered his uncle Xun You's actions in the past, and he was even more trembling now. Even though he was full of strategies and lofty ideals, he was speechless at this moment and could not utter a single word.

Jia Xu suddenly said: "The Prime Minister is the Prime Minister of the Great Han Dynasty. Without the Prime Minister, how can the Great Han Dynasty come to be? To be loyal to the Prime Minister is to be loyal to the Great Han Dynasty."

Cao Cao laughed loudly and hurriedly stepped forward, helped the five counselors up and sat down respectively.

"As for the battle of Fancheng, if the Nanman soldiers arrived two days later, Fancheng would have fallen. Unfortunately, God would not bless me. At the moment of the decisive battle, the Nanman soldiers airborne and ruined my life."

Cao Cao frowned, sat down in front of the desk, and said bitterly: "Zhuge, there is something commendable about him. He predicts everything before me. I don't believe that I can't take down a mere Fancheng!"

Seeing that the topic had changed, Xun You's pounding heart finally calmed down. He stood up and said, "My lord, I have a plan to prevent Fancheng from being in chaos. I will give the city to my lord."

Cao Cao raised his head, glanced at Xun You, and smiled slightly: "I'm waiting for Gongda's clever plan. Your uncle Xun Yu guards Xuchang, and Xuchang's safety depends on him. If you can come up with another plan to capture Fancheng, then your Yingchuan Xun family will be defeated. You are worthy of being called the best family in the world, I will give you a plaque one day and give your family glory for generations!"

Xun You thanked you and continued: "Fan City is isolated outside, quite far away from Xiangyang. Now Meng Huo's troops and horses are all stationed in Fan City. In less than a month, the food supply will be exhausted. We only need to send out elite cavalry, not to attack Fan City, but to harass Fan City. The grain roads to Jiangxia and Xiangyang make it difficult for him to transport grain. As long as he waits three months, there will be no grain in Fancheng and he will be unable to defend it, so he will have to retreat!"

Jia Xu also clapped his hands in praise, stood up and said: "Gongda's plan is the best. Moreover, the soldiers of the Southern Barbarians are the most wild and aggressive and cannot be restrained. If I don't retreat, the soldiers of the Southern Barbarians will be of great use. They charge into the formation and have no time to fight." Now I am retreating from Wancheng and will not fight with him. If the Nanman soldiers stay for a long time, there will be trouble. There is no guarantee that one day they will not have conflicts with Zhao Yun's Jingzhou soldiers and even fight against each other."

"We will wait and see what happens. As long as there is civil strife in Fancheng, we will take advantage of the situation and send troops to capture Fancheng!"

Cao Cao took this as a clever plan, so he temporarily settled in Wancheng and sent out scouts to find out more about Fancheng and Ma Chao.

……

Zhao Yun used [-] elite troops to defend Fancheng for nearly [-] days, and over [-] enemies were raped!

Zhuge Wende strategized and decided to win thousands of miles away. Ten days ago, at the Xiangyang Conference, the entire battle situation had been determined. All strategies were not improvised, but were arranged in advance.

Zhuge Wende's power shocked China, and all the barbarians in the nine states were shocked!

Zhuge Ming's fame has spread far and wide, shocking the world!

Since then, Zhuge Wende's reputation has gradually increased, while the reputation of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix has gradually faded away.
