"It is said that the person who carried out the assassination was the guard next to Yuan Shang, but he did not kill Yuan Shang, he should have been seriously injured."

Zhen Yao didn't know the specific things, but he inferred from some of Zhen Yao's detailed work and mastery.

Although the Zhen family is just a business family, it is precisely because of this that they attach more importance to the aspect of intelligence.

So know more too.

After Liu Zheng heard Zhen Yao's words, he nodded and understood.

"So, now the area around Yecheng has been occupied by Zhang Fei's men?"

"When we fled back to Xindu, we had already found out, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, led an army of 60,000 and entered Yecheng, and they would lead soldiers and horses at any time to kill Xindu."

After Zhen Yao finished speaking, the generals and strategists in this hall all fell into contemplation for a while.

The people present had already known the news through Dian Wei before, but now that it came out of Zhen Yao's mouth again, they couldn't help but feel worried.

This matter is indeed quite unfavorable for their current situation.

After a period of silence, it was still the chief strategist Guo Jia who broke the peace.

"Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and we should find a way to deal with it."

As soon as Guo Jia opened his mouth, the eyes of everyone present converged.

Everyone's eyes looked at Guo Jia, but they didn't speak, waiting for Liu Zheng on the main seat to ask.

Liu Zheng also came back to his senses from his trance, then looked at Guo Jia and asked directly.

"What is the response of Bonghyo?"

Liu Zheng himself was also pondering how to face the current situation.

It's just that he hasn't thought about it yet, since Guo Jia has already spoken to himself first, then Liu Zheng knows that Guo Jia must have thought of something.

Let's ask Guo Jia first, see what Guo Jia's thoughts are, and what he is planning.

Guo Jia did not hesitate, knowing that this matter was more urgent.

"Your Majesty, now our army has just repelled those barbarians from the north under the city of Xindu, and in a short period of time, it will be difficult for those barbarians to attack the city again."

"At this time, we are not the most difficult time, then Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei and others, since they dare to attack at this time, we must teach them a lesson, only by solving them, can we continue to fight with Yuan Xi and others."

"Otherwise, if we are pinned down by Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, we don't care about the head and tail, and if there are soldiers and horses in front and behind, it will be difficult to take care of all the battlefields."

Guo Jia's meaning is obvious, that is, he is telling Liu Zheng that Liu Bei's soldiers and horses and Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses can only deal with one.

Otherwise, don't care about the end.

And at this juncture, the men and horses who deal with Liu Bei are better than those who deal with Yuan Xi.

After all, Yuan Xi has always been just a barbarian, and he can't make any big waves, but Liu Bei's people are different.

Liu Bei's men and horses, but a tiger, is a tiger sleeping next to Liu Zheng, if Liu Zheng shows some disadvantage, this hungry tiger will bite Liu Zheng.

If Liu Zheng capsizes in this gutter, it will be a big deal.

Therefore, Guo Jia did not want Liu Zheng to fight with Yuan Xi's men and horses here, but hoped that Liu Zheng could send men and horses to deal with Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei first, and only by repelling these people and then gathering all the men and horses to deal with Yuan Xi was the right choice.

Liu Zheng's choice is actually not much different from Guo Jia's current thoughts.

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he also nodded quickly.

"Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, Yuan Xi and Xianbei people, although they are now aggressive and pressing step by step, but they are always just clowns who jump off the beam, so there is nothing to worry about, but these centaurs of Liu Bei are our mortal enemies."

"I have to guard against it."

Liu Zheng said and sighed.

There are still some underestimating Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei.

Originally, Liu Zheng thought that Wen Ping, Zang Ba and others defeated Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei in Liyang County, and even captured Ma Chao alive, which could be regarded as a serious lesson for Zhang Fei and Ma Chao.

But Liu Zheng didn't expect that these guys still had the strength to spare.

Not only can he reorganize his men and horses and kill them back to Yecheng, but he also has the ability to enter Yecheng in two days.

This was beyond Liu Zheng's expectations.

But even so, Liu Zheng is still capable of resisting Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei's attack, and he only needs to divide a part of the soldiers and horses on the side of Xindu City and directly go over to deal with Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, so that he can resist their attack.

But in this case, it is inevitable that the defense of the capital will be chaotic.

Liu Zheng can use only 60,000 people and horses here.

And the men and horses of Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun who attacked Yecheng had already reached 60,000.

Liu Zheng couldn't just send 20,000 or 30,000 people to guard the town and deal with Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, which was bound to be ineffective.

At least, Liu Zheng needs to mobilize 40,000 soldiers and horses to go over to have a relatively large certainty.

But once this is done, only 20,000 people will be left on the side of Xindu City.

20,000 people, to face the attack of more than 100,000 troops on Yuan Xi's side, the degree of difficulty can be imagined.

It's not something that can be done easily.

If you are not careful, it is easy to lose the city and lose your soldiers.

"Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun want to fight, but we only have 60,000 troops here now, how to distribute them?"

Liu Zheng fell into deep thought.

What he was embarrassed about was not whether to choose to fight Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, or Yuan Xi.

is in a dilemma, how to allocate soldiers and horses to fight Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun.

60,000 soldiers and horses, there are fewer people left, Xindu City may not be able to hold it, there are more people left, so against Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, it may not be sure to repel.

After all, they also have tens of thousands of troops, and these tens of thousands of people can also bring great pressure to Liu Zheng.

"Your Majesty, this is easy to do, there are 20,000 troops left in this city, and the rest of the people will go straight to Yecheng."

Guo Jia also seemed to have thought that Liu Zheng would be embarrassed in this matter.

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he immediately added a sentence, which made Liu Zheng's curiosity come up at once.

"Huh? Can Bong-hyo be clearer? ”

"Your Majesty, the enemy army outside the city of Xindu, after this battle, must have suffered a loss, do not dare to attack easily, now has retreated ten miles, at this time we leave from this city, they will inevitably pursue over, when the time comes, we will set up an ambush on the way out, and then put Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses together."

"After beating Yuan Xi's men and horses again, I will wave my army to deal with Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, and you will have no worries."

When Guo Jia saw Liu Zheng asking, he told Liu Zheng what he had prepared in his heart.

"Okay, then according to what the military advisor said, Zang Ba, Guan Hai, Tai Shici, the three of you will lead 20,000 soldiers and horses, keep the capital of Xindu, and the others, follow me, and personally conquer Liu Bei's army!"
