I Am the Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

He was a little uneasy in his heart, wouldn't a tie fight be good?

"I think that King Yan is covering up his strength." Zhuge Liang guessed.

"No way?"

Liu Bei didn't believe it, and they all fought on the battlefield. Does Liu Zhe want to cover up his strength?

"Otherwise it will be difficult to explain." Zhuge Liang said.

But this conjecture made Zhuge Liang feel terrified.

Because Liu Zhe can control his soldiers to tie with Liu Bei's soldiers in these eleven battles, which means that Liu Zhe's soldiers have retained their strength, which means that Liu Zhe has retained their strength.

If you retain your strength, you can tie with Liu Bei's soldiers. What if you don't retain your strength?

"Then why did he do this?"

Liu Bei was also horrified by Zhuge Liang's conjecture.

"I can't tell you either."

Zhuge Liang shook his head with a wry smile, and then said, "It may also be a trap."

"Then what?" Liu Bei asked again.

"I still need to fight again, and fight with King Yan again." Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei.

"Since you know that it may be a trap, why do you still fight?"

Liu Bei said, "Why don't you stand firm?"

"King of Chu."

Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei, "It is not in line with King Yan's wishes. Our army is running out of food and grass."

As soon as Liu Bei heard this, he was immediately depressed, and his face became ugly.

"Because our army's food and grass began to have problems, so the ministers continued to lead their troops into battle. The purpose was to decide whether to defeat King Yan and let King Yan retreat." Zhuge Liang said.

"It's been hard work, Prime Minister." Liu Bei said.

"It is the duty of the minister to share the worries of the King of Chu." Zhuge Liang said.

After speaking, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang fell into silence for a while, and they didn't know what to say about the situation in front of them.

After a while, Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang aloud, "Prime Minister, if, if, if..."

Liu Bei's expression was a little grim. He hesitated and opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't ask the question in his heart. After a while, Liu Bei seemed to have made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and asked, "If there is not enough food and grass, Liu Zhe still doesn't retreat, this king, what should this king do?"

Zhuge Liang had already told Liu Bei about the consequences of insufficient food and grass, and now Liu Bei asked this again.

Zhuge Liang understood what Liu Bei meant.

Zhuge Liang could hear from Liu Bei's words that Liu Bei was already thinking of compromise.

"Don't worry, King of Chu."

Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei, "This minister will definitely let the King of Yan retreat, and will not let the King of Chu lose the hearts and minds of the people of Yizhou."

"In this case, I will leave everything to the Prime Minister." Liu Bei said.

He did not want to lose the hearts and minds of Yizhou people.

In other words, if Liu Zhe can give a reasonable and acceptable condition, Liu Bei will accept it.

It's all about buying time.

As long as Liu Bei is given time, Liu Bei can integrate Yizhou and strengthen his own strength.

Now Liu Bei can only rely on Zhuge Liang, because Liu Bei has nowhere to go with Liu Zhe now.

No matter what Zhuge Liang does, as long as Zhuge Liang can get Liu Zhe to withdraw from Yizhou.

"Don't worry, King of Chu."

Zhuge Liang said, "The minister must live up to the trust of the king."

For Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei's attitude undoubtedly made him feel more confident.

"Now, I can only watch Youchang." Zhuge Liang thought secretly in his heart.

Zhuge Liang sent Ma Su back to Chengdu and went to Nanzhong, not to let Ma Su go to play, Ma Su was shouldering a major task.

It can be said that the success or failure of Ma Su's mission to Nanzhong determines Zhuge Liang's next plan.

"Count the time, it's almost there."

Zhuge Liang thought secretly in his heart: "Just wait until the news comes. I hope everything goes well for You Chang."

More than two months have passed in Zhuge Liang's hope. During these two months, Zhuge Liang still brought his soldiers to fight against Liu Zhe again and again.

And Liu Zhe seemed to give Zhuge Liang a lot of face. Every time Zhuge Liang took people to fight, Liu Zhe either brought people out to fight or sent his subordinates to fight, and did not let Zhuge Liang dove.

The battle between the two sides ended in a tie, and the losses for both sides were not big each time, but as time passed, Zhuge Liang began to feel anxious.

Because, the problem of food and grass has begun to appear gradually... ..
