Xu Shu opened his mouth, and finally gave Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others some confidence.

At the same time, it can be regarded as an explanation to Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei saw the military advisor speak, and his eyes and attention fell on Xu Shu.

Soon asked.

"Why did the military advisor say that?"

"General Yide, do you think that our spies who stayed on the battlefield did not send back the news that General Ma Chao had died on the battlefield, so in this case, there are eighty or ninety percent, maybe General Ma Chao was captured by the other party."

"As long as General Ma Chao is not dead, this matter is not too bad, then Liu Zheng has always been quite famous, and he will not easily kill prisoners, although he is born as a thief, but he still pays attention to his reputation, as long as General Ma Chao is not killed on the battlefield, then his life is mostly worry-free."

Xu Shu explained to Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun.

Although Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were extremely disgusted with Liu Zheng's attitude.

But the two of them also had to admit that what Xu Shu said was not wrong at all.

Liu Zheng is indeed a person who pays great attention to fame.

So many battles have passed, but all those who were captured by Liu Zheng, very few were killed by him, and most of them could get a good death.

For example, Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Ding Yuan, Liu Biao and others.

Liu Zheng, who surrendered, did not kill again.

For Xu Shu's reminder, everyone who was worried and extremely worried about Ma Chao calmed down a little.

"What the military advisor said told me to wait and feel at ease for the time being, but even if General Ma Chao didn't worry about his life for a while, this matter couldn't be just settled."

Although Ma Chao's life was worry-free, this battle was a failure for Zhang Fei, after all, he lost a general and lost 20,000 soldiers and horses, this is not a battle that can be won no matter how you look at it.

If it doesn't hurt Liu Zheng's roots, it will be a failure for them.

Besides, now there is news that Liu Zheng is in the army that has been punished.

Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, they don't want to miss it.

Although they suffered a great defeat in Liyang, but now with Zhang Fei's soldiers and horses to support, in fact, their losses are insignificant.

There is still the strength of a battle, which is enough to continue to contain Liu Zheng.

"Naturally, I won't just forget it, I have already received the news, the situation in the north is becoming more and more severe, then Yuan Xi and the Xianbei people formed an army of more than 100,000 people are frantically attacking Liu Zheng in the south, at this time, if we attack again, we will definitely be able to give Liu Zheng a heavy blow."

It has been some days since Zhao Yun and Xu Chu returned to the Wuchao camp.

In addition, the soldiers and horses near Liyang have already rushed to Xindu City.

The battle that took place near Sindu was also reported back to the Black Nest through their respective spies.

Naturally, it was not surprising that Xu Shu could know about the battle situation over there.

Even reasonable.

At this time, the soldiers on the left and right were slightly startled when they heard Xu Shu's words.

Especially Zhao Yun.

After this worship, Zhao Yun obviously had remorse for his greed for merit.

Now that he heard Xu Shu say that he could continue to attack, he learned the lesson of last time, and he was not so urgent.

Instead, he opened his mouth again and questioned Xu Shu.

"The military advisor is true, is the news accurate?"

Xu Shu knew what Zhao Yun's thoughts were at this time, and patiently explained it to them.

"Don't worry, this time the news is true, I only told you after I confirmed it repeatedly, then Liu Zheng is now trapped in, and Xindu City is surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops of Yuan Xi and others."

"Nowadays, there is a possibility of a big battle at any time, which is enough to see from the fact that all the soldiers and horses near Liyang in Yecheng began to support the direction of Xindu."

The biggest difference between Xu Shu and Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and others is that his determination of a matter will be speculated from many aspects, and he is not a reckless person.

constantly sent people to inquire about the situation, and from the battlefield of Liyang, some trivial things can also be inferred.

If the news is false, then the soldiers and horses who defeated Zhao Yun and others on the battlefield of Liyang will not suddenly withdraw, but should continue to pursue the victory and drive Zhao Yun and others out of the Yellow River.

Obviously had the upper hand, but suddenly withdrew the troops.

This is very unreasonable.

Xu Shu, who noticed these abnormalities, naturally sent spies to find out what was going on.

This inquiry let him know what had happened in Shinto.

At the same time, the whole person was excited.

If the news is true, then this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Even if he struggled to lose some more soldiers and horses, he would have to hit Liu Zheng hard at this moment.

With Xu Shu's explanation, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others on the side immediately became excited.

Although they still had some doubts about Xu Shu's news, after Xu Shu's repeated affirmation, the only doubts in their hearts were gone.

Now they just want to find out more and more definite information as soon as possible.

If once you know, Liu Zheng is really trapped behind Xindu City.

Then they can lead their soldiers and horses back again.

"This matter is very important, if our army is hit, I am afraid that it will fall into a situation from which it will never recover, and we must think long-term."

Although Xu Shu's military advisor has been determined.

However, when it was time to decide whether to pursue and launch a war against Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses again, Zhang Fei, as the coach, was still a little hesitant.

After all, after suffering the last loss, Zhang Fei was not so reckless.

You are careful in everything you do, and you must think carefully before you can make up your mind.

When Zhao Yun and Xu Chu heard Zhang Fei say this, they both immediately nodded in agreement.

"What General Yide said is that anyway, at this time, Liu Zheng seems to be trapped in Xindu City, and it will not be that long before we are in Xindu City, and we are not far from Xindu City, and it will not be long before we send someone to inquire about the news."

"Okay, since that's the case, let's postpone the use of troops against Liu Zheng, send someone to find out the news first, and then discuss how to continue the crusade against Liu Zheng after the news is confirmed."

Seeing Zhao Yun and Xu Chu, they were more supportive of suspending the use of troops. Then Xu Shu had no choice but to agree.

This matter should be considered in the long run.

Since it has been decided to postpone the use of troops, the next step is to immediately send a large number of spies to the capital.

Anyway, the soldiers and horses of Zhang Fei and others had crossed the Yellow River and were stationed in large numbers in the Wuchao camp.

From here, it didn't take long to use cavalry to spy on the surrounding situation.

It only takes three or four days to grasp the military situation in Jizhou.

It's only a delay of three or four days, but Xu Shu can still afford to wait.

A few days later.

The situation on the side of Xindu City was finally transmitted to the camp of Wuchao.

Xu Shu, Zhang Fei and others finally understood that Liu Zheng was really trapped in Xindu City.

Yuan Xi united the Karasuma people and the Xianbei people to garrison the Xindu city.
