Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were furious.
They did not expect that the blame would actually fall on the two of them.
This Zhuge Wolong is really capable!
And he even wanted to receive an award?
Where was the logic in this?
"Big brother…"
The two of them were about to say something when Liu Bei waved his hand.
"Brothers, don't say anything more. Let's drop this matter and quickly return to the city to rest.”
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei could only return to the city.
However, both of them were dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang.
However, Liu Bei's expression was not good. He knew that this time, they had only burned the Cao army's rations and did not harm the Cao army's elites. The Cao army was likely to make a comeback.
And how should he repel the enemy next time?
This was probably a difficult problem.
"Military advisor, if the Cao army comes again, what plan do we have?”Liu Bei asked.
Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly and sighed. After a while, he said," Abandon the south of the city and escape!”
"Abandon the city?"
Liu Bei was shocked.
This was a trick?
Wasn't it too embarrassing to abandon the south of the city and escape?
Zhuge Liang's expression was solemn as he said," If we don't abandon the city, I'm afraid that our lord won't be able to escape!”
“……”
Liu Bei's eyes widened as he stared at Zhuge Liang.
Can't escape?
He had been running for half his life and was best at running away. He had never encountered such a situation where he could not escape.
But what could he do?
There were less than thirty thousand soldiers in Xinye, and Cao Cao's hundred thousand elites were no match for them.
And what kind of place was Xinye?
Xinye was the gateway to Jing State.
If the Cao army wanted to enter Jingzhou, Xinye was a place they had to pass through.
On the surface, Liu Biao kept calling him 'Brother Liu', but in the end, Liu Biao was actually letting Liu Bei guard Xinye to be a watchdog for Jingzhou.
If the Cao army wanted to enter Jingzhou, the first person they would attack would be him, Liu Bei.
Now that Liu Biao's time was approaching, once he died and Jingzhou surrendered to Cao Cao, Liu Bei would have nowhere to run.
Zhuge Liang knew very well that the only thing he could do now was to escape.
Before Cao Cao's army made a comeback and Liu Biao died, they should run away immediately. The farther they ran, the better.
He could not stay in a place like Xinye for even a day!
Liu Bei was a little sad. Tears welled up in his eyes as he sighed," Advisor Jun, it's not that I don't want to escape, but I can't bear to part with the people of Xinye! If it weren't for me, what would happen if the people fell into the hands of the Cao army?”
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said solemnly," My lord, we can't care so much now!”
"No! This was absolutely impossible! I can't ignore the Xinye people!" Liu Bei waved his hand firmly." Advisor Jun, do you think this is feasible? Can we escape with the commoners?”
"My lord is truly benevolent and righteous! At this time, he still cared about the people. Liang really did not follow the wrong person!”
Zhuge Liang bowed deeply to Liu Bei.
Then, he pondered carefully.
If they escaped, leaving behind the people of Xinye would indeed be leaving some resources for Cao Cao. This would undoubtedly be helping Cao Cao.
However, if they fled with the commoners, leaving an empty city for Cao Cao, the Cao army would enter the empty city and set fire to it.
This way, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would also admire him.
Let's do it this way!
Zhuge Liang nodded fiercely.
"My lord, is there a way to convince the people?”
Liu Bei's expression was firm.
"If the commoners know that the Cao army is cruel, they will definitely be afraid of it. Moreover, I have never offended the commoners and have been good to them. If they know that the Cao army will burn, kill, and plunder after attacking Xinye, they will definitely follow me!”
"Good!"
Zhuge Liang was overjoyed.
He said firmly.
"If my lord can let the people leave Xinye, I will definitely cause the Cao army to suffer heavy casualties!”
"Oh?" Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang curiously. He was indeed Zhuge Crouching Dragon. He actually had another plan so quickly." Advisor, what's your plan?"”
Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes slightly and turned around to look at Xinye City.
"Liang wants…"
"Burning the New Wilderness!"
……
Xudu.
In a courtyard of a mansion.
Lu Yu was a little annoyed when he heard the sound of ice being cut in the distance.
He casually threw a piece of firewood into the fire. Immediately after, crackling sounds rang out, and the flames soared high.
That's right.
After Lu Yu arrived at Xuchang, he did not see Cao Cao at all.
He didn't even see her back.
He did not know how other transmigrators could meet Cao Cao so easily. After Cao Cao was assassinated a few times, other than his trusted aides, he rarely saw anyone else.
Of course, there was another explanation.
Lu Yu's contribution this time was not great enough!
Just think about it.
How many strategists did Cao Cao have?
Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu, Sima Yi, Chen Qun, Cheng Yu, Xun Rong, Dong Zhao…
These people were all famous strategists.
Some had even laid down strange schemes!
Although Lu Yu had saved Xiahou Dun's 100,000 soldiers at Bowang Slope, Cao Cao's camp's rations were still burned. This could not be considered a victory at all.
It was even a defeat!
In terms of results, Lu Yu did not have much credit.
However, Xiahou Dun's recommendation was still effective.
The house Lu Yu was in was a gift from Cao Cao.
In addition, Lu Yu also received an official position.
Ninth Grade Advisor!
The official position was a little small, but it was suitable for Lu Yu.
Lu Yu had always been a salted fish. If he did not want to beat up Big Ear Liu and Zhuge, Lu Yu would not have revealed himself. Moreover, there were many important things to do as an official position. This ninth-grade council official was suitable for him. He would be a BOSS behind the scenes and make a living. He would be fine as long as he was safe and sound.
At this moment.
Looking at Lu Yu, who was lying on the straw mat with a grass root in his mouth, Xiahou Dun walked over from afar with his back hunched.
"Savior, this is high-quality venison. Why don't you try it?”
Xiahou Dun said carefully.
Ever since he came back, Xiahou Dun had been sending Lu Yu some delicious food from time to time as if he owed Lu Yu.
He was an honest man. He brought Lu Yu back to Xu City, but he did not brag to Lu Yu like how he did to Cao Cao. He let Lu Yu gain Cao Cao's recognition and let him soar. He had always been very upset and wanted to compensate Lu Yu.
Lu Yu smelled the fragrance of meat in the air and opened his eyes.
Dragon meat in the sky, venison meat on the ground.
This venison was truly a delicacy!
Xiahou Dun smiled in satisfaction when he saw Lu Yu wolfing down the food.
"Benefactor, don't worry. Even gold will shine. When the army is reorganized, I will definitely bring benefactor to Xinye and capture Liu Bei and Zhuge alive!”
"When the time comes, the Prime Minister will definitely reward you heavily!”
