Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!

Chapter 3: Every word is precious, defeating Cao Cao’s twelve strategies!

Inside the Wollongong Thatched Cottage.

Zhuge Ming took out the chessboard and played chess leisurely.

Liu Bei was confused. Every time he made a move, he was distracted. He just saw the trap and deliberately dug into it.

Now that Fancheng is in a hurry, how can he think about playing chess?
How could Zhuge Ming not know the thoughts of his cheap Mr. Xuande?

"Mr. Xuande, is it your turn?"

"Why are you so upset right now?"

Hearing this, Liu Bei put down the white piece in his hand and sighed:
"Sir, you don't know. Although the 2 people I led this time are capable of fighting, most of them were recruited locally."

"Now that Cao Ren is attacking in a big way, I am really worried."

"Don't worry, Mr. Xuande. Fancheng will only hold out for ten days. Cao Ren will naturally retreat. At this time, Mr. Xuande will have to go back. It's a long journey and it won't help."

"Does Mr. Xuande think the weather outside is very cold?"

"If you are asked to stand outside for a long time, how long can you hold on, Mr. Xuande?"

After the words fell, Liu Bei's eyes suddenly reflected.

Is it...

"Sir, do you want us to suddenly launch a surprise attack when Cao Jun is completely cold?"

As he said this, he couldn't help but get excited.

You know, it's freezing outside.

Zhuge Ming said calmly:

"Destroying Cao Jun's will and letting their bodies be tortured by ice and snow is just one of them."

"Cao's army outside has been here for several days in a row. Needless to say, the wounds on his body have already caused disdain for the Xinye defenders in every possible way, right?"

"If we attack them secretly in this situation, can Cao Jun stop them?"

"If we torture Cao's army for a few more days, and then when Cao's army withdraws for the last time and the sergeants have not yet recovered, a well-prepared army suddenly launches a surprise attack, can they withstand it?"

Liu Bei's eyes began to light up when he heard the first sentence.

Because he has been fighting on the battlefield for so many years, how could he not know the effect of waiting for work?

Unexpectedly, on the basis of waiting for work, Mr. even used the convenience brought by the celestial phenomena to weaken the enemy.

Even on this basis, we should continue to show the enemy's weakness to discourage the enemy's fighting spirit.

This continued until Cao Jun was so exhausted that his body was frozen by the ice and snow and he had not yet regained consciousness before he launched a surprise attack.

If that time comes, Cao Jun will not be ready to fight.

I'm afraid even a normal array army would be extremely slow, right? !

At this thought, Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Ming with even more intense eyes.

'How dare you say that you are not Mr. Wolong? '

'Other than Mr. Wolong, who in the world can adapt to such tactics? ! '

"In addition, Cao Ren is afraid of fighting. Cao Cao's decision to let him attack must be just a bluff. Cao Ren does not dare to attack Fancheng, let alone Xinye."

Zhuge Ming talked with great eloquence, and every word was exquisite.

Liu Bei's heart felt like it was shaking.

"Besides that, I have twelve strategies to defeat Cao. If Cao Ren comes to attack Fancheng, we can prevent him from looking at each other."

When Zhuge Ming revealed the twelve strategies to defeat Cao, not only Liu Bei was shocked, but Zhao Yun also exclaimed: "It turns out that the battle can be fought like this!"

……

Liu Bei stayed until nightfall and finally left Wollongong. Despite Liu Bei's numerous requests, Zhuge Ming still rejected him.

But he also told him that Zhuge Liang was dozens of miles away, just over two mountains.

Liu Bei was unwilling to give in and sent someone to inquire. The news he got was that Mr. Wolong was not there and was out visiting friends.

Liu Bei laughed out loud.

"Mr. Zhuge, let's see how long you can keep this from me!"

...Xinye City.

For five consecutive days, Cao Ren yelled and cursed outside the city.

This time Cao Ren came with an army of [-], falsely claiming that he had an army of [-], and the momentum was huge.

Flags everywhere!

However, most of them were just farmers transporting grain and grass, and there were only 3 real soldiers.

But [-] sharp armors are not something Xinye can resist.

It's just that Liu Bei and others in the city have already obtained this guy's wishes from Zhuge Ming.

He immediately stayed in Xinye City with no intention of engaging in battle.

However, Liu Bei could sit still, but all the generals were upset.

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu came to inspect the city wall.

Looking at Cao Ren who was about to curse him out, Zhang Fei's face was full of anger: "Do you think that Mr. Zhuge, the elder brother who asked for advice, is so fierce that he just wants us to stand firm without fighting for a long time?"

"Cao Ren has been scolding me for several days in a row. I'm so angry!"

It is not a good thing for a general to stand firm without fighting.

After all, they are all strong men in the world. How can they be as cowardly as they are now?

Guan Yu on the side was also unhappy. He looked at the weather outside indifferently and said disdainfully:
"Yide, I think Mr. Zhuge has some water content."

"It's autumn and winter now, and Cao Ren down here really can't hold on for long."

"But he's not worried about our military morale at all?"

"If we really hold on and don't fight, we'll be fine, but the sergeants may have low morale, right?"

"Even if Cao Ren goes back with his [-] troops this time, I'm afraid our soldiers will lose a lot of murderous intent on the battlefield due to morale problems!"

As he spoke, Zhang Fei looked at the shouting sergeants behind Cao Ren with burning eyes.

He couldn't help but think about it for a long time. However, Liu Bei's military order was here. Even though they were sworn brothers, they couldn't go against his eldest brother's wishes.

In desperation, I can only argue with Zhang Fei here.

At this time, Zhao Yun walked to the top of the city. He heard Zhuge Ming's twelve strategies to defeat Cao in the thatched cottage. His views on Zhuge Ming were completely different from those of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.

This Mr. Zhuge has the ability to turn things around.

...

Three days later.

Under Xinye City, Cao Jun camped.

Lieutenant General Li Dian, who had just returned with his army, looked at Cao Ren with some worry:
"General, it's been eight days in a row. We don't have to go yelling outside the city tomorrow, right?"

"The bodies of the soldiers can no longer bear it. Just now I saw in the military camp that many soldiers had frostbite on their hands and feet that had been festering for many days."

"If I go outside the city to yell and scold again tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't even be able to hold a weapon. At this juncture, if Liu Bei's army engages in battle, we will have an army of [-]. I'm afraid..."

Before he could say anything, Cao Ren, who had been drinking Northwest Wind for several days, started to curse.

After all, after so many days in a row, these soldiers had long been exhausted. At this moment, Li Dian still dared to talk here, which made Cao Ren impatient.

"Li Dian, stop wagging your tongue and lips!"

"If you dare to touch my military heart again, I will punish you in front of the army!"

With that said, Cao Ren sat down on the commander's seat, then looked in the direction of Xinye with contempt and said:
"Even if the garrison in Xinye City does not come out, the morale of the army continues to decline! Xu Shu defeated me once before. I think if Xu Shu is gone, Liu Bei will still be able to stir up trouble."

"Besides, the prime minister sent me here this time to inquire about the military situation. If I can weaken Liu Beijun's will while inquiring about the military situation, the prime minister will not blame me if he finds out!"

"As for you saying you were attacked by Liu Bei's army?"

"As for Liu Bei, a man who weaves mats and sells shoes, so what if he comes out to fight?"

"After so many days, his military morale has long been shaken. Even if our army's hands and feet are rotten, can it still be defeated by a mere 2 troops?!"

"Since you have been fighting with the Prime Minister for many years, I will pretend that I didn't hear you this time. Get out of here and prepare for the last encirclement tomorrow, and then make adjustments!"

After being scolded, Li Dian opened his mouth but said nothing, and could only withdraw from the military tent helplessly.
