Feeling that Guo Yu had already seen through the situation in Jing State, Zhuge Liang was unwilling but he didn't dare to act rashly.
"Lord, the Cao army is coming at us menacingly. Xinye cannot be defended. The plan now was to retreat quickly and meet up with Young Master in Jiangxia!”
Liu Bei's expression was a little unnatural,[When did I, Liu Xuande, lose to anyone else in terms of escaping?] But now, I'm asking you for a retreat plan, and you're asking me to retreat directly. This military counselor is unreliable! Seo Yuanzhi, you've harmed me!
Zhang Fei did not have any shrewdness. When he heard this, he immediately grinned and laughed."I just saw that you had predicted that Liu Biao would entrust him with an orphan and thought that you had some ability. In the end, at this critical moment, you only know how to run for your life! Although I'm stupid, I dare to lead troops to fight Cao Cao and cover my brother's retreat!”
Zhuge Liang was already a little uncomfortable because Guo Yu had gotten the upper hand. Now that he was being mocked by Zhang Fei, who had come knocking on his door, he immediately became a little impatient. Fortunately, he was open-minded and took a deep breath to calm himself down.
"Yi De can't be reckless, let me finish!”Zhuge Liang advised.
"Liu Biao is extremely prestigious in Jing State. If he doesn't die, Cao Cao would rather attack Jiang Dong than attack Jing State at this time!”
"If I am not wrong, Liu Biao is already dead, and Cao Cao already knows of his death, so he suddenly sent his troops to attack!”
Zhang Fei laughed again." Military Advisor, your words don't make sense. Cao Cao is far away in Xudu. Even if Liu Biao is really dead, we should know first!" Now that we haven't received any news, how could the Cao thief know that Liu Biao is dead?”
Liu Bei and Guan Yu looked thoughtful. They had a feeling that what Kong Ming said was probably true.
Hearing Zhang Fei's question, Zhuge Liang calmed down and regained his composure,"I'm afraid Yide has forgotten someone."
"Who is it?"
"Guo Yu, who can predict things like a god and judge life and death!”
Zhang Fei's eyes widened in disbelief.""Advisor Jun, you mean that Guo Yu predicted Liu Biao's death? How was this possible? Wasn't Advisor Jun also an immortal expert who traveled the world with him? How could he have expected this while Advisor Jun didn't notice it at all?”
Zhuge Liang's expression turned awkward." What are you saying…Guo Yu is a mysterious person. His ability to determine life and death is even more unbelievable. I really don't have such ability!"”
Liu Bei was getting impatient." Alright, now is not the time to talk about this. The most important thing is how to deal with Cao Cao!" Even if they wanted to retreat, there had to be a pattern! I've worked hard in Xinye for many years and gained the support of the people. If I lose these people, I'll lose my foundation again. Did the military counselor have a way to stop the Cao army and give the people time to retreat?”
Zhuge Liang nodded and started pointing at the map.
"The Cao army's front line must be brave and resourceless. Order Liu Feng and Mi Fang to lead a thousand troops to camp at Bowang Slope and set up a diversion to contain the Cao army.”
"Xinye cannot be defended. Since the lord wants to take away the people here, there is no need to protect Xinye City. Therefore, he could set up firewood and sulfur in the houses in the city. When Cao Cao's army crossed the river and arrived, he could let Zilong send troops to shoot the fire arrows! There will be wind tonight, and the fire will defeat Cao Cao's army! Liu Feng and Mi Fang can lead the army and join forces with Zi Long to attack the defeated soldiers!”
"If the new wildfire plan succeeds, the Cao army will definitely be defeated. When we return, we will definitely cross the White River! Can first let Yun Chang block the upper reaches of the White River to store water. Seeing the fire in Xinye City, when Cao Cao fled to the White River, he immediately burst the dike and poured water!”
"At this moment, the Cao army is like a stray dog, they will definitely run for their lives. Not far from here, the water at Boling Ferry is the slowest, so the Cao army will definitely escape through Boling Ferry! He could set up an ambush here with Yi De's 3,000 elite soldiers. If the Cao army charged out as soon as they arrived, the Cao army would suffer countless casualties!”
"In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, I will use Mi Zhu to lead the army to escort the lord and his family. I will go to Jiangxia first to meet up with Liu Qi. This way, all the generals can focus on killing the enemy!”
Liu Bei nodded his head as he listened. Only then did he understand Zhuge Liang's talent. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also shocked by his words. They admired Zhuge Liang very much and immediately led their troops to split up.
……
Speaking of which, the situation of Cao Cao's army was similar to what Zhuge Liang had expected.
Cao Ren led the 100,000-strong vanguard while Xu Chu led 3,000 cavalry to clear the way.
Guo Yu was still in the same carriage as Cao Cao, controlling the situation and commanding the army.
When they arrived at Bowang Slope, Cao Cao saw the dense forest outside and was a little worried."I heard that Zhuge Liang is quite talented. If he sets up an ambush here and fires an arrow, our army will definitely be defeated.”
Guo Yu didn't think much of it." It's fine. The army will slow down and let Zhongkang scout ahead." Xinye had few soldiers, so Liu Bei had to retreat. Even if Zhuge Liang had set up an ambush, he would not have run so far.”
Thus, Cao Cao ordered the army to slow down and had Xu Chu carefully check if there were any ambushes.
Xu Chu had already arrived at Bowang Slope with three thousand cavalrymen. However, when he looked into the distance and saw a few soldiers standing sparsely on the high slope in the distance, he was actually afraid and did not dare to go forward.
"There must be an ambush here. Do not act rashly! We'll camp here first and wait patiently for Zixiao to come!”
The soldiers were puzzled." General Xu has always been brave. Why are you afraid today?"”
Xu Chu was a little proud." I've seen you use tricks every day. I just can't learn your tricks, but I can recognize Kong Ming's methods!" Look, there are only a few people there and they dare to block the way. It's clearly an ambush! If we charge up, we'll definitely be doomed!”
The soldiers admired Xu Chu.
Not long after, Cao Cao's order came. Xu Chu's expression turned bitter."Although there is an ambush ahead, the Prime Minister has given an order. Let's go, let's rush up and take a look!"
Xu Chu took the lead and rushed over. Liu Feng and Mi Fang, who were deliberately setting up a diversion, immediately looked at each other and smiled.
"We scared this fool so much that he didn't dare to come for a long time. Now, we can retreat.”
Thus, while Xu Chu was still in shock, Liu Feng and Mi Fang led their thousand men and retreated.
"General Xu, this seems to be different from what you thought.？”The soldiers knew that Xu Chu had guessed wrong and could not help but laugh.
Xu Chu argued gloomily," Kong Ming is Sir's good friend, so he naturally has extraordinary abilities. Isn't it normal that I can't see through him?"”
When Cao Ren heard that there were only suspicious soldiers ahead and not an ambush, he quickened his pace and quickly approached Xinye.
At this time, the citizens of Xinye City had already followed Liu Bei out of the city and were heading towards Jiangxia. Zhao Yun was leading his men to set up sulfur, dry wood, and kerosene in the houses in the four corners of the city.
After Liu Feng and Mi Fang returned with their troops, they immediately went to see Zhao Yun."Zilong! The vanguard of Cao Cao's army has already seen through the suspicious soldiers. The main force will arrive in less than half a day.”
Zhao Yun's expression didn't change." It's fine. Generals, go and lay an ambush outside the city. I'll leave after I'm done setting up." When the wind blew, he would set the city on fire!”
