The Three Kingdoms are invincible

"My lord, the retreat of the Cao thief is a good opportunity for us to pursue it." Zhuge Liang boarded the city wall of Xinye, came to Liu Bei's side slowly, and said to him.

"Pursuit?" Liu Bei was quite puzzled.

"My lord, you should take advantage of Cao's bandits returning to rescue Chang'an and Hefei, and lead your army to raid Wancheng. If Wancheng can be conquered, our army can join forces with Ma Teng and Sun Jianyao, and the three fronts will force Xuchang together. It will not be difficult to destroy Cao's bandits." " Zhuge Liang said slowly, with a confident expression on his face.

"It would be great if we could really wipe out Cao's bandits. But our army has been defending the city for days and suffered heavy casualties. Now there are less than [-] combatants, so how can we capture Wancheng?" While speaking, Liu Bei also revealed There was a trace of sadness.I have been in business for many years, and finally accumulated some wealth, but in front of Cao Cao's army, I lost more than half of it in just a few days.

After several years of hard work, half of it was easily destroyed, which made Liu Bei feel an indescribable sense of frustration.

"My lord, don't worry. Although my lord is unable to attack Wancheng, I can borrow troops from Liu Jingsheng." Zhuge Liang continued, shaking his feather fan.

"Borrow soldiers from Brother Jing Sheng, will Brother Jing Sheng lend them to me?" Liu Bei's words were obviously lacking in confidence.Liu Biao had always been on guard against himself since he entered Jingzhou. Although he lent him troops this time to help him defend Xinye City, it was because Cao Cao had already reached the gate of his house.If it weren't for Cao Cao's army to suppress the situation, he would never send another soldier to himself. Now that the crisis in Jingzhou has been resolved, would he agree to lend him troops so that he can take the initiative to attack the city?

"Liu Jingsheng still has some ambitions. In the past few years, because of the repeated battles with Sun Jian and the great power of the Cao bandit, Liu Jingsheng never dared to turn his eyes to the north. But now that Sun Jian has raised his troops to attack Hefei, there is no one in Jiangdong. This is a great opportunity for the Northern Expedition. My lord mentioned the Northern Expedition to Liu Jingsheng, and he will definitely be interested." Zhuge Liang's eyes showed confidence and wisdom , analyzed to Liu Bei, "The only thing Liu Jingsheng may worry about is that after the capture of Wancheng, the lord will take this opportunity to break away from his control and establish himself in Wancheng. The lord can tell Liu Jingsheng that he is willing to be a deputy general and a candidate for the coach." It can be decided by Liu Jingsheng himself, in this way, his worries can be eliminated."

Liu Bei naturally understood the meaning of Zhuge Liang's words. As long as he got the man, it didn't matter whether he was the commander-in-chief or the deputy general.If you can capture Wancheng, then Xuchang is close at hand. Once you take the lead in occupying Xuchang, you can become a major force in the Central Plains.At that time, the troops sent by Liu Biao will all bear his own name, and the generals sent by Liu Biao will be killed or imprisoned, but it is only in his own mind.

The next day, Liu Bei proposed to Liu Biao, asking him to send troops to attack Wancheng, and stated that he would only be a lieutenant general.Liu Biao didn't want to agree at first, but after repeated persuasion by Liu Bei, he finally made up his mind, and ordered Cai Mao to be the general, Liu Bei to be the deputy general, Kuai Yue to be the counselor, and his son Liu Qi to be the supervisor. Wancheng.

Originally, although Liu Biao had made up his mind to send troops, he didn't want to appoint Liu Bei as his lieutenant general. But after thinking about it, Liu Bei had Zhang Fei, a peerless general known as the enemy of thousands of people, and the wise men Chen Gong and Xu Shu as assistants (Zhuge Liang was still famous at this time. It is not obvious), if Liu Bei is abandoned, it is tantamount to giving up such a group of civil servants and generals with outstanding abilities, which is a pity.

With Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, and Liu Qi in town, Liu Bei must not be able to make any waves, Liu Biaozuo thought so.

———————————————————————————————— As soon as the news spread that Liu Biao decided to declare war on Cao Cao, there was an uproar in Jingzhou immediately. One after another, people went to speak to Liu Biao, hoping that he would change his mind. Of course, there were also many militant generals who firmly supported Liu Biao's decision.

But in the end, Liu Biao officially gave the order to fight, and Cai Mao and Liu Bei led an army of [-] to attack Wancheng mightily.

However, when the army marched to the gate of Wancheng, no matter it was Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others, they all frowned in unison.

Wancheng's defenses are solid, and the defenders on the city are well-organized, and it is obvious that they have been prepared for a long time.

Since Cao Cao was wary of Liu Biao's possible attack on Wancheng, it is natural that the number of defenders in Wancheng cannot be small.To conquer Wancheng, the difficulty suddenly became much more difficult.

"General Cai, there is nothing to be done, retreat." Kuai Yue rode up to Cai Mao's side and said to him.

Cai Mao's expression changed, hesitating.

Siege?Wancheng seems to be difficult to conquer. If Biecheng is not defeated by then, but all of his 7 people will be lost, then he will really lose money.

Withdrawal?I brought the army forward in high spirits, and ran back in such a despondent way without doing anything, where did I put my face in the future?
