Teng!
"Tiger Marquis, what else do you know?" Cao Cao suddenly stood up.”
Xu Chu shrunk his neck and said sulkily,"I don't know what…"
"Xu Chu!!"
"The 16-word mantra…"
"What sixteen words mantra? Why haven't I heard of it before?"”
Xu Chu: " My Lord, I can't tell you. With these 16 words, you can command the army. Spring will come back to the dead tree, and the flowers will shine again. You will be invincible!"”
"I can't say it, I definitely can't say it!"
Seeing how persistent Xu Chu was, Cao Cao's expression changed and he said disdainfully,""But a dead tree still has spring? The willows turn dark and the flowers turn bright? In an invincible position? It was full of bragging and lies!”
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
"The 16-word mantra is concise and comprehensive. With it, you can lead the army and be invincible!”
"Tiger Marquis, if you don't tell me, how can I know if it's true?"”
"My lord, I'll tell you, but you can't tell anyone else…"
Cao Cao laughed loudly." You, you, just say it. I'd like to see what great principles can be said with sixteen words."”
Xu Chu coughed." My lord, my…Xuchang, my house…"
"I'll give you a bigger one!"
"My wives…" Xu Chu coughed again.
"I'll change you to a few young and beautiful ones!"”
Xu Chu scratched his head. Cao Cao was very unhappy."Xu Chu!"
Xu Chu smiled foolishly." Hehe, I'll tell you now. I'll tell you now. I'll give you the 16-word mantra for free!"”
"This is something I've thought hard about and comprehended after years of following my lord in battle. My lord, Xu Chu is loyal!”
Cao Cao was slightly angry and took a deep breath,""If your 16-word mantra is really that magical, I'll reward you with 100 gold coins!”
Xu Chu quickly kowtowed and was overjoyed."Thank you for your reward, Lord!"
"These 16-word mantra is when the enemy is strong and we are weak. If the enemy advances, we will retreat; if the enemy retreats, we will advance; if the enemy stops, we will harass; if the enemy is tired, we will attack!”
"The enemy is strong and we are weak. We can't fight head-on. We have to conserve our strength and wait for an opportunity to change our attacks. What was meant by the enemy retreating while I advance? It was to wait for an opportunity to constantly attack the enemy's morale while changing the attack, accumulating small victories into a great victory!”
"Also, harassing the enemy means that we have to constantly exhaust the enemy and create a favorable situation for us. "Finally, we will fight when the enemy is tired. Although the enemy has many soldiers and generals, they are already tired from our harassment. At this time, we have to concentrate our forces and take the initiative to attack. Under favorable circumstances, we will annihilate the enemy!”
When Cao Cao heard this, he felt as if ten thousand horses were galloping in his heart.
He wished he could roar at the sky, beat his feet and chest, drink three hundred cups of wine, and call all the generals over for a meeting immediately!
A war could actually be fought like this!
To Cao Cao, who was at the end of the Han Dynasty, it was like a small knife pulling his butt and opening his eyes!
Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu with tears in his eyes. He could not help but think of Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao.
When he was conquering the Wuhuan, Guo Jia had died of illness, which was the most sorrowful thing in his heart. Every time he lost, he could not help but cry out in pain, If Feng Xiao was here, why would I be like this?
Boss Cao thought to himself, Could this be a gift from the heavens to compensate me for Feng Xiao's death?”
……
Zhao Yun returned, covered in blood.
"Lord and Military Advisor, please punish me!"
Zhao Yun told Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang about the situation in Xinye in detail.
When Zhuge Liang heard that Xiahou Yuan had arrived with his troops, that Zhao Yun, who had the advantage, had been defeated, and that Cao Ren had escaped, his expression turned extremely ugly.
"Cao Cao's camp! Someone actually saw through my scheme?”
Huo Shao Xinye had been calculated by Zhuge Liang without any flaws. The only way to break the situation was for Cao Cao to send people into the trap.
Xiahou Yuan arrived at lightning speed, and Zhuge Liang's plan to surround Cao Ren and hinder Cao Cao's attack failed.
"Lord and General, please punish us!"
Zhao Yun pleaded for forgiveness again. Liu Bei helped Zhao Yun up and comforted him,"As long as Zilong is safe and sound!”
Zhuge Liang turned to look at Liu Bei, then at the endless Xinye people.
"My lord, quickly make a decision. There are experts in Cao Cao's camp. They will definitely send cavalry over. If they continue to flee with the commoners, the entire army will be defeated.”
"How can I bear to ignore the safety of the people?”
Liu Bei was determined to escape with the people. He had always been known for his benevolence and virtue. If he ruined his reputation now, it would be even harder for him to achieve hegemony!
"Military Advisor, you said that there is a master in Cao Cao's camp. What kind of master is it?”
Zhuge Liang suddenly raised his head.”
"You mean Jia Xu?"”
"I think it should be either Jia Xu or Xun Yu who knows about my plan. The intelligence of these two people was not the slightest bit weaker than Liang.”
After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei was deeply impressed. Jia Xu and Xun Yu were famous, so it was reasonable for them to see through the plan of Wolong…
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang didn't know that Chen Fan was in Cao Cao's camp.
"Advisor Jun, what should we do next?”
"We can't go to Fan City anymore. Cao Cao's army will go south, and Jingzhou will definitely surrender. The garrison of Fan City will definitely surrender to Cao Cao. If we go to Fan City, we will be entering a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. We should hurry to Jiangxia. Jiangxia has hoarded half of Jingzhou's money and food. As long as we enter Jiangxia and rely on Jiangxia's steep and strong city, we won't be afraid of Cao Cao's 500,000 troops!”
"Alright, then quickly go to Jiangxia and guard Jiangxia on behalf of my nephew Liu Qi!”
Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were driving the people forward, and ordered them to gather their troops immediately. If Cao Cao's army chased after them, they had to stop them!
At this moment, Liu Bei was still unwilling to give up on the people.
……
In Cao Cao's camp.
Tiger Addict Xu Chu came to please Chen Fan again.
In Cao Cao's camp, Cao Cao had five generals and many strategists under his command. Xu Chu had always led the imperial guards to protect Cao Cao.
If he was brave, Tiger Maniac Xu Chu could be ranked in the top three of the Cao army. However, Xu Chu was not smart and did not understand horses. He could not be compared to Zhang Liao, Zhang He, and the others.
Cao Cao rarely allowed Xu Chu to lead troops alone. It was not that Xu Chu was not brave, but he was worried that Xu Chu would not understand the formation of troops and delay the military aircraft.
However, Cao Cao had Tiger Maniac Xu Chu by his side to lead the imperial guards. He was a good bodyguard.
"Little brother, look at what I brought you.”
Xu Chu came to Chen Fan and took out a large piece of venison and a jar of wine.
"With wine and meat, you're living a good life.”
"I don't have the ability. The Prime Minister asked me to bring this to Little Brother.”
Xu Chu said foolishly and even stuffed a few gold bars into Chen Fan's hands…
Chen Fan immediately understood that this was a reward from Cao Cao.
However, this was definitely a gift from Cao Cao to Xu Chu. Xu Chu had given it to Chen Fan…
"Come, let's eat and drink together.”
"No, no, no…"
Xu Chu waved his hands repeatedly. Although he was greedy, the military had banned alcohol. As a general of the military guards, he naturally could not violate military orders…
Seeing that Xu Chu didn't drink, Chen Fan didn't give in and continued drinking and eating.
Xu Chu looked at Chen Fan and felt a little confused. He was not confused about Chen Fan's prediction of Cao Ren's defeat, but why Liu Bei had fled with the people…
"Little brother, don't you think Liu Bei is too stupid? He fled to Xinye and brought the people with him.”
Chen Fan drank his wine and looked up at Xu Chu."Is it a burden to flee with the commoners?"
"Isn't it a burden?"
"How can it be a burden? Liu Bei is cunning."
"Please teach me, little brother." Xu Chu said innocently.
"There are three benefits for Liu Bei to escape with his people.”
"One! After gaining the reputation of benevolence, Liu Bei had no soldiers and no territory. He relied on the reputation of benevolence to support himself. Losing the reputation of benevolence would mean losing the foundation of his life…"
"Two! It may seem stupid for so many people to flee, but if you calculate the time, from Xinye to Jiangxia, it is only two hundred miles. The Prime Minister still has to subdue the officials of Jingzhou, so it will take some time. The Prime Minister took the time to chase after Liu Bei, and a few days have passed. The people of Xinye have spread out for dozens of miles…"
Xu Chu was a little confused.”
" Stop the cavalry from advancing. If we ignore the civilians, if Liu Bei's soldiers are hiding among them, they will turn around and attack. This will cause the Prime Minister to suffer losses. If we ignore the civilians, we will delay the army…"
"So, the real purpose of these people is to stop the Prime Minister from sending troops to chase after them…"
Tiger Addict Xu Chu suddenly stood up and roared,"Ah, Liu Bei, that big-eared thief, actually used the Xinye people as meat shields!”
"Little brother, what's the third one?"
" The third is for Liu Qi to see. Liu Bei would not even harm the people of Xinye, much less his nephew Liu Qi…"
Xu Chu's brain was not working well again.
"What is the relationship between Liu Qi and the people of Xinye?”
"Why did you do it for Liu Qi?"
Chen Fan smiled and said," If we don't show Liu Qi, Liu Bei will die in Jiangxia if Liu Qi doesn't open the gate for Liu Bei." If Liu Qi lets Liu Bei into the city, the young and strong Liu Qi will die of illness in less than a year…"
"What is it? Liu Qi would die of illness? How is that possible? I heard that Liu Qi is good at martial arts and is in his youth? How could he die of illness?"
Chen Fan smiled at Xu Chu's curiosity.""If Liu Bei goes to Jiangxia, who will be the master of Jiangxia? If Liu Qi died of illness, who would he serve as his master?”
No matter how stupid Xu Chu was, he instantly understood!
Liu Qi will be killed by Liu Bei!
"This big-eared thief talks about benevolence, righteousness, and morality, but he's full of thieves and prostitutes!”
Xu Chu cursed indignantly.
Xu Chu left after delivering the wine and meat to Chen Fan and listening to Chen Fan talk about the war in Xinye and Big Ear Liu.
Cao Cao wanted to raise his tent and discuss the affairs of Jingzhou and Xinye. Xu Chu also wanted to participate in the discussion.
