Three Kingdoms: Counselor, You Still Say You Don't Understand Strategy?

Su Chen did this because he planned to dig a hole for Jiang Xia.

If he remembered correctly, Liu Qi would follow Zhuge Liang's advice and lead Jiang Xia.

Once Liu Qi has obtained this city rich in food, Liu Bei will be able to recruit troops and horses and continue to grow himself.

So this has to be guarded against.

"This one……"

Gan Ning was quite moved, but hesitant, and couldn't help asking, "Can you really persuade Cao Cao, sir?"

"It's natural."

If Jiang Xia can be won, a mere prefect, Boss Cao is still willing.

For this, Su Chen didn't even need to communicate with Cao Cao in advance.

"it is good!"

Gan Ning drank a bowl of spirits, licked his lips and said, "Listen to Mr. Xingba."

"So best."

He dug up Sun Quan's corner without leaving a trace, and cut off Liu Bei's retreat to Jiangxia. Su Chen secretly said that this time he went south to Jingzhou, and just taking Gan Ning was a worthwhile trip.

"Come on, Xingba, there are still a few days left to go south to Xiangyang this time. We can gather for a few more days."

"Don't worry, the wine pipe is enough." Su Chen smiled slightly.

"Hehe... Then Xingba would like to thank Mr. for your kindness." Gan Ning raised the bowl and said with a smile. .

Chapter 44

Newfield.

in the army tent.

The atmosphere was dull.

In a fire at Bowangpo, Liu Bei's subordinates lost seven or eight hundred men.

Although the loss was not large, the rest of the people were tossed to shame. The most important thing was that this fire did not reduce Cao's army by one person.

Today, Xiahou Dun still has an army of [-] people.

After the flames are extinguished, they will come to Xinye Castle again.

With the small town of Xinye and its [-]-[-] horses, it was impossible to stop the [-] Cao Cao elite.

It's no wonder that everyone's mood improves when they think of Cao's army coming over the city.

Liu Bei had no idea at this time, and could only look at the military advisor beside him.

Zhuge Kongming, known as the Wolong.

Although Cao Jun saw through the first plan, Liu Bei still chose to believe in Zhuge Liang.

Because he really has no other way.

"Master, what should we do now?"

After a moment of hesitation, Liu Bei couldn't help but break the silence.

Continue to wait, once Xiahou Dun brings people to Xinye, it will be too late for them to think of a way.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, frowned for a moment, and finally spit out two words: "Abandon the city."

"what?"

Liu Bei thought he had heard it wrong.

Abandon the city?

But now he only has this Xinye city. If he abandons it, where will he go to find another city in the future?

He couldn't help being a little disappointed.

Could it be that the strategist is too poor?

When Liu Bei was at a loss, Zhang Fei, who was standing below, couldn't help it: "Zhuge Kongming, you said last time that Bowangpo was on fire, but it turned out to be a big fire. It didn't burn Cao's army, but it burned our army into a mess."

"Now you say you want to abandon the city? If the city is gone, where will we stand, and how can we compete with Cao thief?"

Zhang Fei was always violent and loud, and when he shouted, the whole lobby heard it.

Suddenly, he looked at Zhuge Liang with a strange expression.

They all know very well that their lord went to Wolongpo three times to invite this Mr. Wolong to come out. As a result, the first time he used a trick, he was seen through by the other party and he was countered.

Now the army is spreading rumors that this Mr. Wolong is not a Wolong, but a sick dragon.

No prestige at all.

When Liu Bei saw the uproar from below, he immediately slapped the table and shouted angrily, "I agreed to Kong Ming's plan at that time. If you want to blame it, you should blame me."

"Don't bring this up again."

"And Yide, don't talk nonsense any more."

After scolding Zhang Fei, Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang again and asked, "Kong Ming, tell me the reason for abandoning the city."

"My lord, it is difficult for the small town of Xinye to resist Xiahou Dun's army of [-]. We will continue to stay in Xinye, but we are only trapped in the lonely city. It is better to find another way out."

"The lord and Young Master Liu Qi are on good terms, and you can go to Jiangling temporarily. At the same time, you can help Young Master Liu Qi take Jiang Xia."

"As long as we win Jiangxia, we will have the foundation to compete for the world."

Zhuge Liang said seriously.

Liu Bei nodded: "Jiangxia is a good place to go, but Huang Zu, the current governor of Jiangxia, would be willing to hand Jiangxia to Young Master Liu Qi?"

After Liu Biao's death, the Liu family's control over Jingzhou was greatly weakened.

And Huang Zu was from the Huang clan in Anlu, so he didn't necessarily take Liu Qi in his eyes.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "My lord is right, so we can arrange for a tiger general to go to Jiangxia to help Young Master Liu Qi."

"As long as Huang Zu is beheaded, then in the name of Young Master Liu Qi, Jiang Xia's generals will not dare to obey!"

Liu Bei was overjoyed: "Okay, then I'll let the second brother go."

"General Guan Wu Yong is unparalleled in the world, and if he goes, he will succeed."

When Guan Yu below heard Zhuge Liang's praise, although he was dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang, he still raised his head proudly.

Zhuge Liang glanced at Guan Yu, and after withdrawing his gaze, he continued, "But my lord, we need to rush to Jiangling as soon as possible, and first meet Liu Qi Gongzi."

"This... military advisor, can you give me three more days?" Liu Bei hesitated for a moment, and finally he couldn't help but speak.

"What's the matter with your lord?" Zhuge Liang was puzzled.

"Hey, there are more than [-] people in this city, how can I bear to see them fall into the hands of Cao thieves and be bullied, so I plan to take the people with me and evacuate to Jiangling."

After Liu Bei finished speaking, Zhuge Liang was stunned.

The feather fan in his hand did not shake.

If given the chance, he really wanted to turn around and leave.

Now that Xiahou Dun's army is not far away, they will come to Xinye in person in a few days, and their eyebrows are on fire. Do you still care about the people?

Cao Cao was brutal again.

Wouldn't they have slaughtered more than [-] people in Xinye?

You have to say that Cao Cao indeed slaughtered more than [-] people in Xuzhou, but the people who slaughtered were all gentry, but not many people were killed. Moreover, since Xuzhou, Cao Cao has been abused by the world for many years, how dare he do it again?

And now that Cao Cao has been appointed prime minister, has started to build his reputation, and treats the people kindly, how could he do such things like digging his own grave again?

"My lord, you must not take the people with you. The people can only march for more than ten miles a day. When will we be able to reach Jiangling? Once we are overtaken by Xiahou Dun's army, how can we resist?"

Zhuge Liang tried his best to persuade him.

"No, even if I die, I will bring the people with me. The military advisor doesn't need to persuade me any more, so I'll just do it."

Liu Bei directly rejected Zhuge Liang with a determined look on his face.

Zhuge Liang was helpless, so he sighed and agreed.

"Since the lord is going to evacuate with the people, Liang has a plan here, or it can be used."

I'm coming.

Zhuge Military Strategist again.

The people standing below were startled and took a small step back. .

Chapter 45

"Master, what's the best way?"

Even Liu Bei was not so confident, but asked with a little hesitation.

"Burning Xinye."

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Liu Bei choked.

Set fire again?

Sergeant, do you only set fire to it?

The last time Bowangpo was set on fire, what was the result? I don't need to say more, right?

"Cough cough..."

Facing Liu Bei's strange eyes, Zhuge Liang coughed lightly.

"My lord, the last time was just an accident. This time, Xinye was set on fire. It would be good if Cao Jun could be killed, but even if he couldn't, it would be able to stop Cao Jun's pursuit and buy us time to evacuate."

Zhuge Liang didn't dare to say what happened to Xiahou Dun's army.
