Chapter 403

Seeing Liu Bei defeated by Hua Xiong, Qin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Won!Although Zhao Yun and Guan Yu hadn't decided the winner yet, our side had already won two rounds. Even if two out of three rounds were won, our side had won.

At this time, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were fighting each other, and they had no other distractions, and neither of them noticed that Liu Bei and Hua Xiong had already decided the winner.

Qin Yi was about to tell Zhao Yun and Guan Yu to stop, at this moment, there was a clanging gong on the city gate tower.

At this time, Guo Jia ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops!
Qin Yi froze for a moment, what the hell is Guo Jia doing?Obviously we won, why did he ask for money to withdraw?

But the sound of the gong was an order. Even as the lord, Qin Yi had to obey orders, so he immediately drove his horse forward to meet Zhao Yun.

Hua Xiong was also taken aback when he heard the sound of the gong.Then he put away his spear and said to Liu Bei: "The military advisor calls for gold and withdraws the troops. I won't play with you anymore!"

Hua Xiong got on his horse and returned to the main formation.

Zhao Yun and Guan Yu were fighting to the apex, when they heard the sound of gold ringing, they resorted to a lore attack, forcing Guan Yu to take the defensive position.Then, he swung his horse's head, moved a little further away from Guan Yu's horse, and withdrew from the fighting distance.

"General Guan, Zhao is going back now!" Zhao Yun hurriedly said, and then returned to the main formation.

"Zhao Zilong, if you don't have a good time today, Guan will ask you for advice in the future!" Guan Yu stopped his horse and shouted at Zhao Yun's back.

"I'll be with you anytime!" Zhao Yun responded.

Seeing that Zhao Yun had withdrawn from the battle safely, Qin Yi returned to the main formation and ordered the troops to retreat.Qin Yi's army quickly retreated to the city.

When Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu met, they all looked confused.

"They clearly won, why did they retreat instead?" Zhang Fei said in confusion.

Liu Bei pondered for a moment, and said: "Someone can see that Qin Yi has no intention of being an enemy of us."

"Then why is he still guarding Guangchang City and not returning it to us?" Zhang Fei asked.

Liu Bei said: "I can't guess what Qin Yi is thinking. However, there is still room for discussion on this matter. Let's wait for Qin Yi to propose conditions!"

………………

Qin Yi, Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, and Pei Ji boarded the tower.As soon as they met, Qin Yi asked Guo Jia: "Why does Feng Xiao ask for gold?"

Guo Jia smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, if you don't give the order to pay the gold, are you going to lead your troops to attack Liu Bei's army?"

"of course not!"

"Then it's over." Guo Jia said, "Guo saw that the prince had no intention of becoming an enemy of Liu Bei, so he ordered the gold medal. We have already won, so we might as well save some face for Liu Bei! This is the performance of the palace. Your magnanimity.”

Qin Yi was relieved when he heard this.Guo Jia did the right thing. Since he won, there was no need to show off to the losing side.Retreating after winning is a kind of magnanimity, which saves Liu Bei's face.

"Feng Xiao, your EQ is very high!" Qin Yi said with a smile.

"Emotional intelligence? What is it?" Guo Jia couldn't understand.

"Oh, it's nothing, anyway, you know I'm praising you."

At this moment, Qin Yi suddenly felt his whole body go numb.

Oops!The side effects of Goldfinger are here.

"Quick, quick, get me some food, get more!" Qin Yi exclaimed immediately.

Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, and Pei Ji were all stunned when they heard this.

"Master, didn't you just have breakfast?" Pei Ji asked Qin Yi.

"After a battle, I'm hungry again." Qin Yi said, "Yuan Shao, hurry up and get some food."

"Oh!" Pei Ji suddenly took out a big cake from his arms and handed it to Qin Yi: "Master, if you want to get food, you have to go back to the county office. How about you eat a big cake first to make up for it?"

"You... unexpectedly..." Qin Yi didn't know what to say to Pei Ji.

"Hey, I have a big appetite, and I get hungry before the meal time, so... I brought a big pancake with me." Pei Ji said awkwardly.

At this moment, Qin Yi's tingling and numbness became heavier. While he was still able to move, he took the big cake and started to eat it.

The big cake still smelled like sweat when he ate it in his mouth, but Qin Yi couldn't care less.

"Old Pei, you're really good at it. In this scorching hot day, you won't be afraid to cover up the cake if you hide it on your body!" Hua Xiong stepped forward, patted Pei Ji on the shoulder and said.

"It's not rotten. I ate it before it became rotten."

Qin Yi chewed and swallowed, and after a while, a large piece of cake entered his stomach.

As soon as he finished eating the pie, Qin Yi sat down on the ground.The side effects took full effect and he could no longer stand.

However, the side effects this time were much smaller than last year. Although Qin Yi was sitting on the ground, his expression did not change and he felt that he still had some strength.This may be because he ate a large piece of cake before the side effects fully developed, which replenished his physical strength in time.

Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and others didn't notice anything strange about Qin Yi.

"Come on, come on, everyone, sit down!" In order to prevent others from noticing his weak state, Qin Yi called for everyone to sit around him.

After everyone sat down, Qin Yi said again: "Liu Bei couldn't attack the city, but he refused to leave. How should we deal with this matter?"

At this time, all the muscles in his body were numb and painful, but he could only endure it.

"If he doesn't leave, then beat him away!" Hua Xiong said immediately.

Qin Yi shook his head, he didn't want to talk anymore, and his eyes were a little dazed.

Zhao Yundao: "Second brother, since you don't want to be an enemy of Liu Bei, why don't you send some food and grass out of the city."

Qin Yi still shook his head.

Guo Jia thought for a while and said, "There is not much food in the county government. It is still very difficult to support our own army, let alone provide food and grass for Liu Bei. Your Majesty, we should leave Guangchang City as soon as possible and look for our next target. .”

This time, Qin Yi nodded.

"Master, why don't you talk anymore?" Pei Ji asked Qin Yi in surprise.

"I...you say it, and I listen!" Qin Yi gritted his teeth and said this.

Guo Jia pondered for a while, and said, "Why don't we defend the city with Liu Bei."

"How to divide the city and defend it?" Qin Yi asked.

Guo Jiadao: "With the East-West Street as the boundary, Liu Bei will guard the south city, and we will guard the north city. In this way, we will only have a small force left, and we will not worry about our retreat being cut off."

When Pei Ji heard this, he said, "What if Liu Bei doesn't abide by the agreement and attacks our soldiers who stayed behind?"

Guo Jia said: "Liu Bei's food and grass are all destroyed. He has seriously neglected his duties. Gongsun Zan will definitely not spare him. He will not stay in Guangchang City for long. As long as Liu Bei leaves, Guangchang City will still be ours."

"But what if Gongsun Zan sends troops to occupy Guangchang City?" Zhao Yun said.

Guo Jia said: "We just need to harass the stronghold near Guangchang City and let Gongsun Zan know that there is no peace in his rear. Gongsun Zan is short of food and grass, and he knows that there are troops in the rear to harass and fight. He will definitely withdraw his troops."

Having said this, Guo Jia looked at Qin Yi again: "Master Fu, you might as well try to persuade Liu Bei to surrender. He has made a big mistake. Out of fear, he might abandon Gongsun Zan and join him elsewhere. Even if Liu Bei doesn't want to surrender. Mr. Fu, you can ask him to submit to the Yecheng court. Since Liu Bei said that he is a descendant of the Han Dynasty, he will definitely be willing to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan."

"Just do it like this!" Qin Yi made a decisive decision and agreed to Guo Jia's suggestion.
