"Report!"
Liu Bei was beside the carriage, looking at his beloved Madam Gan and his round cub, Ah Dou.
His heart was filled with love.
It wasn't easy!
He had been wandering for half his life, ever since the Yellow Turban Uprising, when he, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei became sworn brothers in the Peach Garden and attacked his hometown Zhuo County.
More than ten years passed.
He was still wandering around.
Fortunately, Nanyang had visited the thatched cottage three times and invited Zhuge Liang, a rare genius.
He had formulated a grand strategy for him.
From then on, his shell company could follow Zhuge Liang's policy of " occupying Jingyi's land and uniting with Wu to resist Cao " and achieve the small goal of splitting the world.
There was also a new member in his family.
It could be said that double happiness had arrived, and there was even more hope!
The so-called proud things in life are nothing more than this.
He looked at Mrs. Gan and her son with eyes full of happiness.
This caused Madam Mei to feel a little disappointed.
"Report!"
The horse scout's shouts came closer and closer. After the second shout, Liu Bei finally retracted his happy gaze.
With a smile on his face, he led Zhuge Liang and the rest of the army to stand by the roadside, waiting for the scouts to report good news to him.
The scout did not disappoint him!
He dismounted from his horse and reported,"
"My lord! Cao Cao's army did not enter Xiangyang City. Instead, they sent a large cavalry to follow us. They are less than half a day's journey away from our army!”
Caught off guard, Liu Bei was so frightened that he swayed from his horse and almost fell off!
" What?"
Liu Bei could not believe his ears.
"Say it again!"
The scout replied," Cao Cao's army did not enter Xiangyang City. Instead, they sent a large cavalry to follow us. They are less than half a day's journey away from us!”
The happiness in Liu Bei's eyes was shattered!
Only shock and disbelief remained!
Then, fear and panic appeared on his face!
Zhuge Liang, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Zhang Fei, and the others looked at each other.
Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang in panic,"" Advisor Jun, this…"
Zhuge Liang panicked.
"My lord, logically speaking, the Cao bandits shouldn't have noticed so quickly. It's two to three days earlier than we expected.”
"Then what should we do?" Liu Bei asked hurriedly.”
Sun Qian then tried to sell his plan to Liu Bei.""My Lord, why don't you abandon the people and hurry? It's more important to rush to Dangyang first!”
Liu Bei said resolutely," No, I'm a relative of the Han clan. How can I abandon the people?!"”
He had really been acting for a long time and had taken it seriously!
In the carriage, Madam Mo and Madam Gan's faces paled in shock when they heard that the Cao army was chasing after them.
He didn't know what to do.
"Advisor Jun, Big Brother, you guys lead the people first. I'll stay behind to stop the Cao army!" Zhang Fei shouted at the top of his voice.”
"Yi De, you can't!" Liu Bei shouted.
Zhuge Liang was Zhuge Liang after all.
Calm in the face of danger!
He waved his feather fan and said unhurriedly,"My lord, the most important thing now is to send someone to inform the people that the Cao army is coming and will start a massacre.”
"Use this to urge the people to move quickly. My lord will divide his forces to stop the Cao army.”
Jian Yong asked," Advisor, Cao Cao's army is powerful. Our army is only a few thousand. How can we resist?"”
Zhuge Liang replied,"Actually, Cao Cao's army has been on the run day and night.”
"Our army is waiting for fatigue. It's not impossible to defeat them.”
Liu Bei said," You have a point. Third brother, you and I will lead the army to fight Cao Cao's army. The rest of you, take the chariots and weapons and urge the people to move quickly. We will rush to Dangyang."”
"Here!"
The civil and military officials under his command scattered in all directions.
Liu Bei turned his horse around and looked deeply at Madam Gan, Madam Mo, and Ah Dou.
She said affectionately,
"Madam, I will send a team to protect you first. I will be there soon. Remember to protect Ah Dou and don't let him be frightened.”
Madam Gan and Madam Mei also stuck their heads out of the carriage and said with tears in their eyes,""Husband, take care!"
Then, Liu Bei resolutely rode away to join Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei. He gathered his troops and prepared to intercept the Cao Cavalry.
Zhuge Liang was going to use his special skill, arson!
He ordered the soldiers to search the surrounding mountains for dry wood and dead branches.
Then, he pretended to be defeated and led the Cao army into a narrow area.
The soldiers from both sides came out from the ambush and threw down the dried branches and firewood to burn the Cao army to death.
As soon as this plan was out, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei praised it endlessly!
Immediately, they split up and set up.
"My lord, take some men and lie in ambush in the valley ahead. Wait for the three generals to feign defeat and lure the Cao army into the valley.”
"After the Cao army entered, the lord charged out from the mountain and cut off their retreat.”
"I'll bring people to lay down firewood on both sides of the road and ignite them with rockets.”
"At that time, the Cao army will be in chaos.”
"The Cao army will definitely be defeated!”
Liu Bei was pleasantly surprised.
Zhuge Liang was playing with fire to the extreme.
In Xinye City, thousands of Cao Cao soldiers were burned to death.
Bowang Slope burned tens of thousands of Cao Cao's troops to death.
Even famous generals like Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun were burnt to ashes and returned in defeat!
Now that Zhuge Liang had come up with another plan, this Cao army would definitely not be able to return!
Liu Bei said happily,"Alright, we'll do as you say. I'll lead the troops up the mountain and set up an ambush."”
Zhuge Liang nodded and said to Zhang Fei,""Third General, you will lead a thousand men to stop the Cao Army.”
"If he arrives, you can only lose and not win. We must lure the Cao army into the valley ahead!”
Zhang Fei patted his chest and laughed.”
The thousands of troops split into three and laid in ambush.
Zhang Fei was left with 1,000 men to set up a battle formation and block the official road.
