Liu Bei sent Madam Gan and the cub to the carriage and quickly came over to discuss with Zhuge Liang.
Even Zhuge Liang sighed,
Why did this thief Cao act out of character and chase after him?
And he was chasing so closely that he didn't even have time to catch his breath.
Liu Bei hurried over to ask Zhuge Liang for advice.
"Military advisor, the tens of thousands of cavalrymen of the Cao army have returned. What should we do?”
Zhuge Liang also felt a headache coming on.
However, he quickly sorted out his thoughts and changed his usual slow and pretentious routine. He said quickly,
"My lord, the terrain here is wide and is very suitable for the enemy cavalry to attack. It is not good for our army!”
"Our army can only fight and retreat, relying on the bridge to block the enemy and quickly retreat to the Changban slope area.”
"When we reach Changban Hill, the terrain will be complicated and the Cao cavalry will not be able to use their full strength.”
"After that, we will march into Dangyang and Xiakou.”
"When we get there, Chief Yun and Liu Qi's tens of thousands of soldiers will be able to receive us.”
"At that time, we can rest easy.”
Liu Bei hesitated." This…Military Advisor, there are still a few days to go to Changban Slope. Our army is weak. How can we hold on until Dangyang?"”
Zhuge Liang smiled faintly and pointed the feather fan in his hand at the crowd of commoners.
He leaned close to Liu Bei's ear and whispered,"My lord, we still have hundreds of thousands of people. How can we say that we have few soldiers and few generals?"”
Liu Bei: " This…the people are unarmed. How can they fight against Cao Cao's army?”
Zhuge Liang said,"If they are unarmed, then give them iron!"”
"My lord has distributed the supplies and weapons to the people. The people are afraid of Cao Cao's bandits, so they will naturally follow us to resist the Cao army.”
"Otherwise, would my lord be willing to see the commoners killed by the Cao army without any means to fight back?”
Liu Bei nodded. After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, his psychological barrier was removed.
Zhuge Liang saw that he agreed and said,"Our army uses the people to transform into soldiers, and the soldiers to transform the people.”
"The Cao army can't defend against it."
"At that time, if the Cao army massacred the people, it would confirm the Cao army's reputation as a butcher. It would be even more beneficial to the lord's reputation, and at the same time, it would greatly slow down the Cao army's marching speed.”
"If the Cao army doesn't slaughter the civilians, our army will hide among the civilians and find their weakness to attack them when they are unprepared!”
"No matter what the Cao army does, we will be invincible by relying on the people!”
F * ck!
Liu Bei was really impressed by Zhuge Liang this time!
It turned out that he had such a trump card when he proposed to take away the commoners?
By distributing weapons to the people, they could at least gather the strength of tens of thousands of people.
He had suddenly attacked the Cao army from behind when they were caught off guard!
This power could not be underestimated!
This was a f * cking killer move!
Liu Bei had figured out this link. As for whether the commoners died or not, it did not matter anymore.
The gloomy clouds on his face disappeared and Liu Bei said happily,"
"Pass down my order, distribute the supplies and weapons to the strong citizens for self-defense. Prepare the army for battle and retreat as you fight.”
…………
Cao Cao's cavalry was as fast as lightning and caught up to Liu Bei in no time.
Liu Bei led his army to fight Cao Cao's army and was defeated.
Then, he abandoned the supply vehicles and fled.
Cao Cao seized a large number of military supplies and food, and led the army to pursue.
Liu Bei reorganized his army and came to fight.
Cao Cao led his troops to defeat them.
After more than ten battles, Liu Bei was defeated all the way to Changban Slope.
At this moment, the Cao Army had also caught up and engaged in close combat.
Zhuge Liang revealed his trump card. Many of the commoners, under the instigation of Liu Bei's army, suddenly rose up and killed Cao Cao's soldiers!
The Cao army was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. Cao Chun quickly withdrew his troops and reported to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao sat on his horse, his hands pinching his temples. He looked like he was having a headache.
"This must be Zhuge Kongming's evil plan again!”
The general under him also said," That's right, Prime Minister. We can't kill these people, and we can't not kill them. What should we do?"”
"If Brother Qingfeng were here, he should be able to break Zhuge Liang's evil plan," Xu Chu said.”
Cao Cao nodded." That's right. Qingfeng is good at using his clumsy skills to break through tricks. He should have a plan for this tricky situation."”
"I came in a hurry that day and forgot to ask Qingfeng for advice. I made a mistake, a mistake.”
This was the first time Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, and the other generals of the Cao Family heard the name "Qingfeng" from Cao Cao.
It seemed like Old Cao was very impressed with this Qing Feng.
It was just like the tone he used to praise the military counselor, Chancellor Guo Fengxiao!
From Cao Cao's tone. Could this person break Zhuge Liang's plan?
This was incredible!
But why did it sound so unfamiliar?
They went through all the famous strategists in Cao Cao's camp in their minds: Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Xu Shu, Cheng Yu…
He couldn't remember who this so-called "Qingfeng" was.
Could he be the descendant of a famous family?
Or was it the disciple of some expert?
However, under such circumstances, they did not dare to ask, nor did they dare to say.
Since Cao Cao thought so highly of Qingfeng,
He secretly made up his mind to build a good relationship with this "Qingfeng".
After this battle ended, he would definitely ask Xu Chu about it.
He wanted to ask this "Qing Feng" for some strategies so that he wouldn't meet Zhuge Liang on the battlefield and suffer in silence!
Sighing was one thing, but as an ambitious man of his generation, Cao Cao naturally had his own strategies.
Furthermore, his literary and military strategies were unmatched by the dukes of the three countries.
After pondering for a moment, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and issued several orders,"
"Pass down my order. If you meet the commoners, try to avoid them and prevent any ambushes among the commoners, but do not kill them without authorization.”
"If you encounter resistance, kill without mercy!”
"A bounty for Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.”
"Send someone to tell the people that only Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang will be killed.”
"Anyone who provides information on Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, and their families will be rewarded with a thousand gold and a marquis title!”
"Let's go! Go!"
"Giddyup! Hah!"
The army moved out once again. The sound of horse hooves shook the heavens and earth, stirring up yellow dust in the sky!
