Pan Feng went straight to the front of the village, Jia Xu was about to call the crossbowmen in the village to shoot arrows to block, at this time Zhuge Liang's military order came, Pan Feng and other generals retreated. Cao Bing suffered a lot of losses, more than 2,000 people. Cao Ren saw that although the strength of the other army was small, but it was capable of overpowering his own army, and thought that the situation was not good, so he temporarily closed it and rested.

Xu Chu saw that Cao Ren couldn't hold on, and his heart was full of unwillingness to be angry, so he rushed to see Cao Ren and asked.

"Governor! His army only has 5,000 soldiers and horses, and its strength is far less than ours. Why did the governor close the gates!!? ”

Cao Ren was drunk by Xu Chu and was speechless, and the generals under the tent also had a lot of fears and did not say anything. Jia Xu, who was originally frowning, turned his face relieved because of Xu Chu's drink.

"Tiger Hou's words should be like a slap in the face! There is a huge disparity in the strength of the two armies, and even if Zhuge Liang has great ability, it is difficult to make up for the shortcomings. We really thought of Zhuge Liang too terrifyingly, so we were jealous and hesitated step by step. How can this be invincible! Governor, what the Tiger Marquis said is very true, we should take advantage of the situation to pursue, and there should be no further delay! ”

As soon as Jia Xu's words came out, Cao Ren woke up, immediately thanked Xu Chu, and ordered all the soldiers to prepare their troops and horses tomorrow, and attack the camp of the other army together, and break through its village in one fell swoop. The generals were also inspired by Xu Chu's fighting spirit, shouted loudly, and received orders one after another, and rushed to give orders to their respective deployments.

The next day, 30,000 Cao troops rushed to Liu's camp like a monstrous wave, who knew that Xu Chu rushed into the camp and found that the camp was empty, it turned out that Zhuge Liang had already ordered the soldiers and horses to retreat back to Xinye last night. So Cao Jun occupied his village, and Cao Ren learned of this and regretted it.

At night, Cao Ren's brows were furrowed, his face was full of dazedness, he had fought nearly 100 battles in his life, and he had never tried such a strange battle situation in front of him. Every move, every strategy, and every choice of the self-army seemed to be expected by the other army. The so-called knowing the other is invincible. His army seems to know all the generals and strategists from top to bottom of the army, but Cao Ren knows very little about Zhuge Liang, and the only thing he can know is that this person is more intelligent than demons, and his strategy is extraordinary. Therefore, since Cao Ren, all the generals and strategists in the army have been extremely cautious about the other army, lest they fall for Zhuge Liang's strategy.

At this moment, Jia Xu stepped over, his eyes shining brightly. Seeing this, Cao Ren seemed to have guessed that Jia Xu had already sensed Zhuge Liang's strategy, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and asked.

"Has the military advisor noticed!?"

Jia Xu's expression froze and he bowed his head and said.

"Today, I inspected the village and found that there was no trace of a heavy convoy driving in the village. From this point of view, Zhuge Liang had no intention of fighting our army here from the beginning, and was ready to withdraw at any time. ”

Cao Ren's face tightened slightly, as if he sensed something, and asked in a groan.

"What does the military advisor mean?"

"Zhuge Liang's army was here before, all to obstruct the progress of our army and buy time for the soldiers and horses who attacked Fancheng!?"

"How is this possible! Even though Fancheng is empty, it is still guarded by 3,000 soldiers, and even if it is attacked by 10,000 soldiers and horses, it will take at least half a month to conquer! Besides, Zhuge Liang is so intelligent, how could he not have expected that we would send troops and horses to help Fancheng on the way, just in case! What a reckless move he had! ”

Cao Ren's face changed greatly when he heard this, but he quickly retorted. Jia Xu's eyes narrowed, and he shook his head and shouted.

"Definitely! Zhuge Liang is not reckless, but surprisingly victorious! He expected that we would be afraid of all of them, and that the march would be cautious and slow, so he handed over most of the troops and horses to the command of a fierce general, and quickly marched to Fancheng to make a sneak attack. At the same time, the remaining soldiers and horses will be sent to resist for a few days in the Xinye realm. According to the previous detailed report, Xinye City has about 20,000 troops, and I saw that the other army has 5,000 soldiers and horses a few days ago, which means that there are 15,000 soldiers and horses who sneak attack Fancheng! In this way, when our army is killed under Xinye City, Fancheng has already been lost! ”

Cao Ren couldn't help but panic when he heard this, and shouted in a lost voice.

"Once Fancheng is lost, our army's back road will be cut off, and the army's morale will inevitably be in chaos, how can there be no reason to be undefeated! Fancheng must not be lost! Can the military advisor have a strategy to turn the tide!? ”

In fact, Fancheng cannot be lost, for Cao Ren, there is another personal reason, that is, the safety of Cao Chun, who is stationed in Fancheng. Cao Chun is a clan brother, and even a blood line!

Jia Xu's eyes froze, and he said coldly.

"If you want to turn the tide, you have to turn the tide. I have a plan to make Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang die without a place to be buried! ”

"Planned from An? The military advisor is coming quickly. ”

Cao Ren's eyes widened instantly, his face swelled with joy, and he asked anxiously. However, Jia Xu next said something that made Cao Ren's heart tremble.

"Zhuge Liang actually took such a risky sword. We might as well make a plan, abandon Fancheng, and attack Xinye! Xinye City is only guarded by 5,000 troops, as long as the governor orders, let the 30,000 Cao army fight against the water, kill without a fight, and take the siege of Xinye! Within half a month, Xinye Castle will inevitably be lost. At that time, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang will all become prisoners of the capital governor! ”

Jia Xu deserves to be a 'poisoner', this plan can be described as ruthless, he knows that Cao Chun and Cheng Yu are in danger and are in danger. But he still ignores it, and instead uses it to achieve what he wants!

Cao Ren's face was full of horror when he heard this, and he only felt shuddering when he looked at Jia Xu's yin owl's gaze!

After a while, Cao Ren finally reacted, his anger swelled, and he shouted.

"Jia Wenhe, do you know that there is my Cao Zixiao's clan brother in Fancheng! Cao Chun and Cheng Yu are loyal and righteous people, knowing that Fancheng is very important and cannot be lost, they must not give up, and they will fight to the death for our army until the city is broken. If Fancheng is really lost, Cao Chun and Cheng Yu will definitely die! You can't bear to forsake each other!!? ”

In the face of Cao Ren's reprimand, Jia Xu's face did not change, his eyes looked directly at Cao Ren's tiger eyes, and said coldly.

"Liu Bei is a hero in the world, and he has been defeated again and again in the past, all because of the useless army under his command. This time, Zhuge Liang is such a great sage, and his rise is unstoppable! If you don't eradicate it as soon as possible before it becomes a trend. When he sits down and becomes strong, the prime minister's great cause of dominating the world is far away. What's more, you and I have already heard that Liu Jingsheng has been ill in recent years, and Liu Bei will definitely take the opportunity to take Jingzhou as a safe place! If this is the case, Peter Jingzhou Foundation, and then unite with the Jiangdong Sun clan to fight against the prime minister, even if the prime minister conquers the northwest, it will be difficult to resist the Sun and Liu families joining forces!

Governor, the prime minister's plan to dominate the industry is all in your thoughts, if you make a mistake this choice, the implication is great, and it can be a disaster for decades! ”

As soon as Jia Xu's words fell, Cao Ren was bombarded by thunder, and the whole person suddenly lost his mind. Jia Xu slowly closed his eyes, and sighed in his heart, Zhuge Liang is too terrifying, if it weren't for this, Jia Xu would not have made such a poisonous move. Jia Xu knew that even if Cao Ren acted according to the plan, conquered Xinye, and helped Cao Cao eradicate Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. But Cao Cao will never have the slightest gratitude to him, after all, Cao Chun is a member of the Cao family, and Cao Cao may even hate him. At the same time, Cao Ren, Xiahou brothers and others will also have a grudge against him. At that time, Jia Xu's career in this life can be said to be completely ruined.

Jia Xu had thought carefully about this policy earlier, and he had already thought in his heart that if Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were removed, he would dismiss Cao Cao and retreat to the mountains, never asking about the world again.

Jia Xu has always been an extremely selfish person, in order not to arouse Cao Cao's jealousy, he deliberately concealed his talents, so that Guo Jia became Cao Cao's first adviser. He is different from Guo Jia, although Guo Jia lets go of DA

g Uninhibited, but he is a loyal and upright person, and he can even be said to be a foolish and loyal person. Cao Cao would never be suspicious of Guo Jia. And although he never had any objections, he was not as loyal as Guo Jia by nature, and Cao Cao also found this, so Jia Xu never dared to have a deep relationship with the rest of the important ministers under Cao Cao.

But even if he is like this, he also has a heart of love for the people. Nowadays, the world has been ravaged by war for a long time, and he really can't bear to prolong the period of turmoil in the world because of Liu Bei's growth!

Cao Ren seemed to be making an extremely difficult and painful choice, with green tendons bulging on his brain, teeth biting hard, and sometimes casting hateful eyes at Jia Xu. Jia Xu closed his eyes and stood quietly, and after the words just now, he didn't open his mouth to interrupt Cao Ren's thoughts.

I don't know how long it took, Cao Ren's eyes were red, and he said word by word.

"Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are just rats! The prime minister has millions of soldiers, how can he be afraid! The military advisor does not have to worry too much, after the prime minister conquers the northwest, collect the northwest forces, and then raise a million male army to go south to Jingzhou. ”

When Jia Xu heard this, his body trembled, and he sighed in his heart. Cao Ren has a cautious temperament and is careful, commanding the troops in a good way, using soldiers like gods, and governing the army strictly, but he is still a little short of a perfect handsome. That's ruthlessness!

"The governor has paid attention to it, and he doesn't dare to interfere anymore. It is also hoped that the governor will order the army to move as soon as possible and rush back to Fancheng to ensure that nothing happens. ”

Cao Ren looked cold, bowed slightly, and Jia Xu said goodbye and left.

Cao Ren made a choice, rejected Jia Xu's poisonous plan to break his arm, gave up the good opportunity to annihilate Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and drove troops to Fancheng to save him on the same day.

At the same time, Liu Jun's scouts learned that 30,000 Cao troops had suddenly evacuated, and hurried to Xinye City to report it. Let's say that after Liu Bei collected the army and returned to Xinye City, his heart was full of anxiety. Pan Feng, Hua Xiong and other generals are also uneasy. There is no other reason, the current Xinye City is empty, only 5,000 troops are guarded, and most of the soldiers and horses have been transferred by Zhuge Liang to attack Fancheng. And just ten miles away from Xinye City, there are 30,000 Cao troops, if the Cao army overturns and attacks, within half a month, Xinye will be trampled to the ground!

However, Zhuge Liang was very different from everyone else, with a calm smile on his face, he gently brushed the goose feather fan in his hand, and suddenly his faint smile slowly became brighter, and he said softly.

"It's time to come back."

As soon as Zhuge Liang's words fell, Liu Bei, Pan Feng and others changed color, and Liu Bei just wanted to open his mouth to ask. Suddenly, a scout stepped briskly and knelt on the ground to report.

"Report! The 30,000 Cao army has evacuated the Xinye realm all night and is rushing back to Fancheng! ”

"Huh? Withdrawn! As Kong Ming expected, he really withdrew his troops!! Hahaha, Kong Ming, you are really a god! ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed and laughed out loud. Pan Feng and Hua Xiong glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of surprise. Zhuge Liang was calm, and slowly got up and said.

"Cao Zixiao withdrew his troops and left, the danger of Xinye has been removed, the lord will not send troops and horses to pursue at this time, when will he stay?"

"Hahahaha! What the military advisor said is very true!

Liu Bei responded, and then issued a military order to Pan Feng and Hua Xiong, and Pan Feng and Hua Xiong took the order and left.

However, he said that a few days ago, Gao Ran received Cao Ren's order and led 5,000 tigers and leopards to rush back to Fancheng. Gao Lan urged the army to advance quickly, and just arrived at the realm of Fancheng, suddenly a cannon sounded, and on the left and right sides of the road, countless bowstrings burst out like a rainstorm falling in unison. Gao Ran was shocked, and when he came back to his senses, he found that there was a tide of arrows on the left and right. Gao Ran hurriedly waved his gun to resist and shot down countless arrows, but Rao was so, this arrow tide was too dense, and it came suddenly, and Gao Ran was shot several arrows. And Gao Lansuo led more than 1,000 soldiers and horses.

"Withdraw!! Evacuate !! ”

Gao Ran shouted loudly, and immediately galloped on his horse, wanting to escape from the range, and his deployment hurriedly followed. The ambush armies on the left and right fired several rounds of arrows in succession, shooting and killing nearly 2,000 Cao troops.

At this moment, there was suddenly a crowd of about 500 people in front of him who rushed out of the way, and the leader was Tai Shici, the general under Liu Bei. Tai Shi Ciyuan glared at the tiger, rode his horse and flew out, and went straight to Gao Ran to kill. Gao Ran was shocked, and when he saw Tai Shi Ci coming, he responded in a hurry. I saw Tai Shici running a thunder gun in his hand, as fast as lightning, and stabbed Gao Ran in the heart. Gao Ran flashed suddenly, only to see the thunder gun rushing past Gao Ran's body. Gao Ran was frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly raised his gun and stabbed Tai Shici in front of the door. Tai Shi Ci quickly pulled back the Ben Thunder Gun and held it against it. At this time, the deployment led by Tai Shici came to kill together, and Gao Ran did not dare to fight, so he simply retreated and escaped with a bloody path. Tai Shici led troops to fight with the remaining Cao army, and exterminated nearly a thousand people. The rest of the Cao army that escaped with Gao Ran had less than a thousand tigers and leopards.

Gao Ran was ambushed and fled to a hidden forest pass, but seeing that there were no pursuers in the rear, he quickly reorganized his troops and horses. Grizzled and dirty, with uneven armor, he was very embarrassed. The surrounding tigers and leopards all had palpitations on their faces. Gao Ran's face was calm, thinking that as soon as he arrived at the Fancheng realm, he was ambushed by Liu Jun. As Jia Xu expected, Zhuge Liang sent troops to attack Fancheng. At present, he has lost most of his soldiers and horses, and it is useless to rush to Fancheng. After Gao Ran made up his mind, he ordered the soldiers and horses to take a detour back to the Xinye realm and inform Cao Ren of the incident in Fancheng.
