Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 392
"Mr. Zhuge, I have long heard that you have a plan, but now it seems that you are going to lose."

Yan Xiang sneered, forcibly suppressing the insecurity in his heart, squinting his eyes and said proudly to Zhuge Liang who was in the feather fan and scarf.

After he finished speaking, he adjusted his clothes slightly, and in the light of countless torches, he raised his right foot high and took a step forward.

Yuwen Chengdu and Luo Chengcheng clenched their weapons tightly, and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

This kind of tension is more important to them than going to battle to kill the enemy.

Naturally, the two of them were not afraid of the siege of these small soldiers, but they were worried that Zhuge Liang and Xian Niang would make mistakes if they failed to take care of Xia in a chaotic fight.

Zhuge Liang's expression was calm and indifferent, he just looked up at the stars in the sky, counting down silently in his heart.

"three!"

Yan Xiang's right foot had landed on the ground, and he took half a step steadily!
"two!"

Yan Xiang smiled again, and leaned forward, intending to follow with his left foot, and won the bet cleanly.

"one!"

Suddenly, a panic-stricken soldier rushed out from the side and shouted urgently to Yan Xiang: "Military advisor, something serious has happened! My lord has an order, please ask the military advisor to return home immediately to discuss important matters without delay!"

Yan Xiang's heart skipped a beat, as if a thousand-jin boulder had slammed on his chest, his face blushed and he couldn't breathe.

He was only half a step away from winning, but he didn't dare to go any further.

Things were really weird tonight.

Looking at Zhuge Liang who was gently sipping tea with his feather fan in front of him, Yan Xiang couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness, but he didn't want to give up just like that, and asked the messenger in a low voice irritably: "My lord, can you tell me what it is?" something important?"

The messenger stepped forward, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Chen Qingzhi's army suddenly launched an attack. They have captured Pingyu in a sneak attack, and now they can invade westward and threaten Runan at any time. In addition, there are also troops quickly assembled in the direction of Xuzhou. It is said that Yue Fei personally took the command , don’t know what to do.”

"How could this be? There is no way tonight's news could have spread so quickly. They must have been prepared!"

Yan Xiang's face was livid, very ugly.

At this time, Zhuge Liang seemed to have heard what they were saying, and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Yan, it seems that Liang won the bet by luck."

"Humph!"

Yan Xiang let out a rage, feeling that the right leg he stepped out just now seemed to be invincible to him, and it took a lot of effort to forcefully retract it, and said with a frown: "Mr. Zhuge is indeed worthy of the name of divine fortune, today is Yan Xiang lost, and he will come back another day to apologize to King Wu and Mister!"

After finishing speaking, Yan Xiang said to Yuan Yin who was next to him: "There is nothing to be done, withdraw the troops and return to the residence!"

Then he left without looking back.

Yuan Yin was at a loss, and didn't know what happened. Although he felt aggrieved and unwilling, he looked at Yu Wencheng and Luo Cheng, and could only shrink his neck in resentment, and shouted "retreat", After catching up with Yan Xiang, they retreated together.

Yuan Jun's fire dragon dissipated in an instant, and the whole courtyard became spacious and quiet again.

It's just that this turmoil is probably just beginning.

"Military Master, why did Yan Xiang retreat all of a sudden?"

Yu Wencheng and Luo Cheng retreated to Zhuge Liang's side, they both felt relieved and asked suspiciously.

"It's a long story."

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, asked the two to sit down, poured a cup of tea for each of them calmly, and said, "Do you still remember the two-character secret letter from the lord?"

"Why don't you remember, the first word is 'quasi', and the second word is 'hit', could it be...?"

Yuwen Chengdu had just finished speaking when he had a hint of speculation.

"Yes."

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "If you want to cooperate with Yuan Shu and other wolves, it is not enough to give him benefits, but also to let him know how powerful we are. I made an agreement with the general that after we came to Runan, he would Wait for the opportunity to attack Pingyu, intimidate Runan, and deter Yuan Shu."

"However, the word "fight" is not just that simple."

At the end, Zhuge Liang said another sentence if he had a deep meaning.

"Military Master, then what did you mean by Yuan Shu's use of Xianniang to design the princes to fight and kill each other?"

Luo Cheng still remembered what they had said before when they were suddenly interrupted by Yuan Yin. It was about Xian Niang. Now that the situation was calm for the time being, he couldn't help but ask Zhuge Liang for advice.

"This trick is quite vicious. It is not something that ordinary people can do, and it is not that ordinary people dare to use it."

Zhuge Liang shook his head and sighed: "Today's martial arts competition has already eliminated two princes. The hope of Cao Ang and Liu Feng is quite slim. Only we and Jiangdong still have a chance. But if it is tonight, Xianniang is really broken by Liu Feng With an innocent body, no matter who wins or loses between us and Jiang Dong tomorrow, we will definitely turn against Liu Feng, or more precisely, Liu Bei behind him, and fight. Even if Yuan Shu released the news in advance, by the time It's time for us and Jiangdong to ask Liu Bei for an explanation. In this way, the four princes will fight each other in three ways, and the siege of Runan will only be left with Cao Cao."

"Cao Cao, although Yuan Shu is still invincible, has already had a great turning point. There is also time to contact Yuan Shao and ask him to send troops to attack Sili. When Cao Cao faces the Yuan brothers, he can only withdraw his troops first. Take precautions against Yuan Shao and make plans again! This provocative strategy is definitely a good one!"

Yuwen Chengdu also reacted and couldn't help but praise.

"Just sacrificing Xianniang's innocence in exchange for a chance to survive, Yuan Shu is a father in vain!"

Luo Cheng was still very angry and couldn't let go of it for a long time.

"Right now is not the time to act rashly. Although there are generals leading an army to threaten, there is no guarantee that Yuan Shu will not jump the wall and fight us to the death. The most urgent thing is to get out as soon as possible."

Zhuge Liang closed his eyes and thought hard, wanting to get out of the muddy waters of Runan as soon as possible.

Yuwen Chengdu and Luo Chengdu did not dare to disturb him, so they could only order their soldiers to be more vigilant, pay attention to news from all directions, and then carefully guard Zhuge Liang's side.

After pondering for a while, Zhuge Liang opened his eyes and said: "The city gate has been closed. It is probably impossible for us to go out overnight. It is better to cope with the changes by remaining unchanged and simply pretend that nothing happened tonight."

Zhuge Liang smiled, and without explaining clearly to the two of them, he got up and went back to his room, read a book as usual, and then washed up and went to sleep peacefully.

Although Yuwen Chengdu and Luo Cheng were anxious, they gradually calmed down seeing Zhuge Liang's composure.

Yu Wencheng went back to his room to rest, but Luo Cheng was guarding outside the door of Xianniang.

It was not until dawn that Xianniang barely woke up.

She was startled when she found herself in a strange room. She vaguely remembered the terrible thing that happened last night. She burst into tears. She quickly checked her body and found that her innocence was still there, so she felt relieved. .

Luo Cheng heard her movement and hurried in. The two looked at each other. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they met again in a catastrophe. They hugged each other tightly and talked to each other without caring much.

Among them, the affection is hard to express for a while.
