Facing Guan Yu's questioning, Zhuge Liang just smiled and asked him, "Could it be that General Guan thinks that this battle is over?" ”

"Xiahoudun is stationed at the mouth of Bowang Valley, does our army still have a chance?" Guan Yu asked rhetorically.

"Of course." Zhuge Liang said: "Whether it succeeds or not, it depends on General Zhang." ”

He then said to Guan Yu: "If you want to win a big victory, you have to work hard again General Guan." ”

"Second brother." Liu Bei also said on the side: "The two armies are fighting, and now the troops have not opened, how can you know the success or failure?" You might as well listen to Kong Ming first, and wait until the end of the war to say that it's not too late. ”

Liu Bei also helped Zhuge Liang speak, Guan Yu frowned slightly, nodded and asked, "What else does Mr. Zhuge have to say?" ”

"General Guan has to enter the valley again." Zhuge Liang said: "But this time you don't need to seduce Xiahoudun, you just need to wait for the movement outside the valley." Once Xiahoudun's army was in chaos, the general would lead his troops to kill him, and if he was lucky, it was not impossible to capture Xiahoudun alive. ”

"Sir, can you tell me what the third brother will do?" Zhang Fei set off after Guan Yu, and didn't know where he went, Guan Yu asked Zhuge Liang.

"General Zhang has something important to do." Zhuge Liang said: "I originally planned to burn the enemy army in the Bowang Valley, but I didn't expect to be disrupted by Chen Zhi. If you want to defeat the enemy army, you can only rely on General Zhang! ”

Confused, Guan Yu asked Zhuge Liang, "What did Mr. let the third brother do?" ”

"General Guan just waits for news in the valley." Zhuge Liang said: "I will naturally know when the time comes." ”

"Second brother, don't ask too much." Liu Bei said: "Please go to the valley and wait earlier." ”

Guan Yu was about to leave, Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei: "Envoy, General Guan is shouldering a heavy responsibility this time, I feel that I can transfer all the soldiers and horses to him, leaving only 1,000 people to guard the envoy." ”

"Only a thousand left?" Liu Bei was stunned: "In case ......"

"Although Pang Shiyuan led the army to come, he is still not close to here." Zhuge Liang said: "This battle only took a day or two, and he didn't have time at all. Leaving a thousand people, I still think that you can't be without soldiers and horses around you, just rest assured. ”

Liu Bei was still a little uneasy.

Zhuge Liang continued: "Envoy, whether this battle can be completed depends on whether the soldiers and horses under the command of General Guan and General Zhang are enough, if too many soldiers and horses are left to defend the Chinese army......"

"I see!" After many years of fighting in the world, Liu Bei has seen all kinds of battles, and he is not the kind of person who can't see it, he nodded and said to Guan Yu: "Leave me a thousand people, and take the rest of the second brother with you." ”

"How can there be only a thousand people left around my brother?" Guan Yu said: "I only need 2,000 men and horses. ”

"It's still up to Kong Ming." Liu Bei said: "No matter how many people I leave here, it's useless, the soldiers come to Bowang, so they have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy." ”

Guan Yu wanted to say more, Zhuge Liang said: "General Guan doesn't have to worry about the envoy, as long as you win in front, there will be nothing wrong with the envoy here." ”

Looking at Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu said: "My brother has handed it over to Mr., if there is anything wrong with him, I will definitely talk to Mr. well." ”

Zhuge Liang also knew that since he joined Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have always been unconvinced of him.

If you want to change this status quo, the only way is to fight a decent victory, so that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can see it.

"General Guan just rest assured." Zhuge Liang said: "With me, there will be absolutely nothing wrong with the envoy." ”

Still a little uneasy about what Zhuge Liang said, Guan Yu said to Liu Bei again: "Brother is still a little vigilant here, and he will leave immediately if he finds something wrong." ”

"Second brother, don't worry." Liu Bei replied: "I know what to do. ”

Of course he knows how to do it.

Looking at Liu Bei's ups and downs over the years, if he admits that escaping can only be ranked second, no one dares to say that he will be the first to escape.

Guan Yu's worries were completely unnecessary.

reminded Liu Bei, Guan Yu bowed to him: "Brother, I'll retire first." ”

"Wait for the second brother to return victorious!" Liu Bei got up and gave him a salute in return.

Zhuge Liang also returned the salute.

Guan Yu didn't look at him, turned his head and left the tent.

"My second brother and third brother are all so temperamental, Kong Ming don't be surprised." Waiting for Guan Yu to leave, Liu Bei said to Zhuge Liang.

"The two generals are the fierce generals of the world, and it is normal for them to have a strong temper." Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said, "I didn't care about them. ”

"Kong Ming really has a perfect strategy, can he protect this battle?" Liu Bei was still not sure and asked Zhuge Liang.

"Of course." Zhuge Liang said: "After tonight, it should be clear tomorrow morning." ”

Zhuge Liang was full of confidence in what he said, although Liu Bei still had doubts, he didn't want to ask too much.

was stopped by Chen Zhi, and Xiahoudun was in a very bad mood.

Sitting in the tent, he instructed the guards: "Go and invite General Chen, I have something to say to him." ”

The guard withdrew, and it wasn't long before he walked back again.

Entering the tent, the guard said to Xiahoudun: "General Qiyu, General Chen refuses to come. ”

"Why?" Xiahou Xuan's eyes glared: "What a Uncle Chen, I don't even want to move him." ”

"General Chen said that if the general wants to see him, please go by himself." The guard replied worriedly, and when he replied, he peeked at Xiahoudun.

Xiahoudun's eyes were even rounder than just now, but then he sighed again: "Forget it, I'll go see him." ”

Originally, he wanted to scold Chen Dao for a few words, but Xiahou Dun thought about it, if he was Chen Dao and had been ordered to prevent the army from entering the canyon, he would definitely not leave the valley mouth half a step.

Thinking about this, he was at ease.

Leaving the tent, Xiahoudun rode towards the valley with a few guards.

When he was about to reach the valley, he saw Chen Zhi and Deng Zhan coming up.

"General Xiahou!" Far away, Chen Zhi arched his hand and said: "Military affairs are urgent, the general did not dare to go without authorization, and please don't blame the general." ”

"I understand General Chen's thoughts, so I came by myself." Xiahoudun said: "I don't have anything else, I just want to talk to General Chen." ”

"General Xiahou is not the kind of person who has nothing to talk to." Chen Zhi asked, "Is it for Liu Xuande?" ”

"Exactly." Xiahoudun said: "Our army is on this side of the valley, Liu Xuande is on the other side of the valley, the two armies are difficult to hear each other, is it possible to confront each other like this?" ”

"That's the only way." Chen Zhi said: "Although the general led more than 100,000 people, this is in Yuzhou, and the transportation of grain and grass is not a problem at all. On the contrary, Liu Xuande came from Jingzhou, and he couldn't support it for long. ”
