Ding!" Cao Cao's army is about to arrive at the city. Host has chosen…"
"Option 1: Open the door and surrender. Reward: 20 enhancement points!”
"Option 2: Fight to the death. Reward: 40 enhancement points!”
" Option 3: Empty city stratagem to scare off the enemy. The host will be rewarded with ten lottery chances!”
Liu Feng looked at the three options given by the system.
But could there be 10 lottery draws to tempt people? Liu Feng decisively chose the third option!
When Liu Feng arrived at the front hall, Guan Yu had just arrived.
He once again asked Guan Yu to sit on the main seat, but Guan Yu declined,"
"Nephew, there's no need to be so polite. You're the general in Shangyong, I can just listen!”
This was Liu Feng's first official promotion, and such a big shot was sitting at the bottom.
He was really not used to it and hurriedly said,
"In the army, Second Uncle has the highest position and often leads troops.
The most experienced one should be Second Uncle!”
Guan Yu still shook his head,"
"Since Brother Wang has handed Shangyong over to you, you are naturally the commander!
There was no need to be humble anymore. The military situation was urgent and could not be delayed for a moment.”
Liu Feng had no choice when he heard that. This was not a banquet, so he could not leave the main seat empty.
He could only reluctantly sit on the main seat and order someone to arrange a seat for Guan Yu.
He calmed himself down a little and swept his gaze over everyone. He asked Meng Da,
"Zidu, who is leading the Cao army? How many people are there?”
Meng Da cupped his fists and replied,"
"According to the scouts, the Cao army has at least fifty thousand men, led by Cao Zhen!”
Everyone's expressions changed drastically when they heard that, and they looked at each other.
50,000 troops were not a small number, and they were led by Cao Cao's subordinate, Cao Zhen!
Liu Feng pondered for a moment and asked,"
"How many soldiers do we have left?”
Meng Da's voice was much lower as he replied,"
" Less than 10,000, excluding the wounded!"
Amidst the sound of gasps, Meng Da's words were shocking."
"And this general has already checked, Shangyong has just been conquered.
The city defense had not been completely repaired, and there was not much equipment left to defend the city. There was no time to replenish it.”
Even though he already knew the general situation, he still couldn't figure it out after hearing Meng Da's detailed report.
Liu Feng was still secretly shocked.
They could still use tactics to repel the enemy, but fifty thousand troops under Cao Zhen's command would not be so easy to deal with.
If they retreated hastily, it would be easy for the pursuers to catch up, and the losses would be even greater.
At the very least, they had to stop the Cao army for a while. Everyone's expressions were very ugly.
Liu Feng glanced at Guan Yu and saw that his eyes were tightly shut.
He didn't seem to have any intention of expressing his opinion and asked,"
"Do you know where the Cao army is now? How long will it take to reach Shangyong?"
Meng Da replied,
"The Cao army's operation this time was secretive and swift. The scouts reported that they were already fifty li away.
According to their journey, they would arrive in four hours!”
This time, Liu Feng could not help but clench his fists, and the other generals were shocked.
Even Guan Yu suddenly opened his eyes. The Cao army had arrived too quickly. It was too late for them to escape!
Liu Feng stood up and looked at the simple map behind him with a frown.
He didn't expect that he would encounter the menacing Cao army after saving Guan Yu.
The Cao army's light cavalry was extremely fast.
Less than one-tenth of them could return to Hanzhong safely. How could he watch the soldiers die?
In the silence, Guan Yu slowly said,"
"Everyone, don't panic. With me here, I will ensure that you leave Shangyong safely.”
"Second Uncle, do you have any good ideas to repel the enemy?" Liu Feng hurriedly turned around and asked.”
Everyone's eyes were on Guan Yu.
At this time, he was probably the only one who had a solution.
Guan Yu smiled indifferently. His phoenix eyes flickered as he stood up and said,"
"This time, I was able to escape death because of public welfare and the soldiers who risked their lives to save me.
The Cao army was ferocious, Shangyong could not hold on any longer.
I can lead my men of sacrifice to defend Shangyong. Everyone, retreat to Hanzhong immediately.”
Zhou Cang said loudly,"
"This subordinate is willing to kill the enemy with you!”
Liu Feng thought that Guan Yu had some brilliant plan, but it turned out that he was going to fight to the death. He hurriedly said,
"Second Uncle, you can't do that. Nephew has just rescued Second Uncle.
If I let Second Uncle take the risk again, how am I going to explain myself when I go back? If you want to stay, it should be your nephew!"
Guan Yu was furious when he heard this and shouted,"
"Don't argue about this matter. Cao Cao's army will arrive immediately.
It's settled then. You take your men and retreat immediately.”
Suddenly, he closed his eyes and said slowly,
"This can be considered my atonement for myself!”
Looking at Guan Yu's battle intent, his long gray beard moved even though there was no wind.
Liu Feng's heart could not help but waver. Time had left traces on heroes, but it could not change their spirit and pride.
"Why aren't you leaving quickly?"
Guan Yu opened his eyes again and gave the order,
"Liu Feng, I order you to bring the soldiers back to Hanzhong and report the situation to Chengdu.”
He paused for a moment before continuing,
"Ping Er, you should go with the charity.”
Guan Ping said anxiously:
"Father, I want to follow…"
"This is the order!"
Guan Yu interrupted Guan Ping.
Perhaps it was really hard to explain, but since Guan Ping was here, he wouldn't be framed.
The others in the hall hesitated, not knowing whether to go or stay. Suddenly, Liu Feng laughed.
"Alright, since you want to bet, then let's bet big. I'll accompany Second Uncle!”
Guan Yu frowned and said,"
"Public welfare, military affairs are urgent, this is not child's play, we cannot waste time.”
Liu Feng smiled and said,"
"Second Uncle, I have a plan that might be able to solve this urgent problem!”
Everyone looked at him, some hopeful and some skeptical. The difference in strength was too great.
No matter how good the plan was, it probably wouldn't work. Even Guan Yu was prepared to fight to the death. What other plan could he have?
Liu Feng swept his gaze across the crowd and said with emotion,"
"The Cao army is coming at us menacingly. Whether we succeed or not, we will die. Why don't we take a gamble?
However, this plan was too risky. They could only leave a few people here. The others had to leave quickly!”
Seeing that Liu Feng did not say anything, everyone stood still. Liu Feng said to Guan Yu,"
"Second Uncle, please lead everyone out of Shangyong. I have my own plan to stall for time!”
