Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang stood together on the towering city wall. They looked into the distance and watched Cao Cao's mighty army slowly retreating.

Xu Shu's tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little, and he took a long breath and said, "Kong Ming, this Lu Bu is really the best general in the world, and his reputation is well-deserved! He only led a thousand cavalry to attack the camp, but he was able to show such an overwhelming momentum.

Cao Cao was so frightened that he fled in panic. I believe that after this battle, he will never dare to covet Chang'an again. "

However, Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly and responded solemnly: "Yuanzhi is wrong. Cao Cao is a great hero in troubled times. His strategies and military tactics are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

When he comes to his senses from the panic, he will surely realize that the attacker this time is only Lu Bu.

By then, with Cao Cao's shrewdness and decisiveness, he would surely regroup quickly, gather his soldiers again, and make another comeback to attack Chang'an.

Even though Lü Bu is the bravest of the three armies, how can he alone resist the fierce attack of Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops? "

Hearing this, Xu Shu couldn't help but look into the distance, only to see Cao Cao's army moving farther and farther away, but the worry in his heart became heavier.

"Since the situation is so critical, in my opinion, we should immediately close the city gates, strengthen the fortifications, and be on high alert in case Cao's army suddenly strikes back."

Zhuge Liang also stared at the sparse soldiers on the city wall. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "With the current strength and defense conditions of Chang'an City, it is almost a pipe dream to successfully defend this city.

If we want to ensure the safety of Chang'an, there is only one feasible plan at this moment..."

"I don't know what the brilliant plan is, Kong Ming just speaks out clearly."

Xu Shu looked anxiously at Zhuge Liang, who was calm and composed in front of him.

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, waved his feather fan, and asked slowly, "May I ask Yuan Zhi, how many troops are left in Chang'an City that can be deployed?"

After thinking for a while, Xu Shu replied solemnly: "According to my estimation, there are probably less than 10,000 people."

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and then he ordered in an orderly manner: "In this case, you need to act quickly, select the most elite men from the city, and gather them together.

Then they were divided into four teams of 2,000 people each.

As for the flags... the first three teams can respectively display the names of the three generals Yunchang, Yide and Zilong;

The last team must display the banner of Uncle Liu. Only by making such arrangements and deployments can Cao Cao be frightened and flee at the sight of them! "

However, Xu Shu couldn't help but look worried after hearing this, and said with some concern: "Eight thousand elite soldiers are all the remaining troops in Chang'an City!

If all these soldiers were to be transferred out of the city, wouldn't Chang'an City instantly become an empty city with no defense capabilities?

If Cao Cao sees through this plan, there will be no obstacle for him to capture Chang'an City!"

Zhuge Liang smiled and laughed heartily, saying, "Yuanzhi, just relax! Cao Cao is suspicious and fickle by nature. When he sees the flags of the army led by Liu Huangshu, he will definitely be terrified.

You know, the city of Chang'an was strong and Cao's army had been unable to capture it for a long time. The soldiers under his command were already exhausted and their morale was low.

How could they dare to engage in a head-on confrontation with the elite troops led by Liu Bei?

In my opinion, if Cao Cao heard that Liu Bei was personally leading his troops to support him, he would be so frightened that he would flee without hesitation."

……

……

At the same time, Cao Cao's side suffered a series of setbacks and retreated all the way.

Just after escaping for more than ten miles, he was caught up by the pursuers led by Xi Zhicai and blocked his way.

Xi Zhicai rode his horse as fast as he could to Cao Cao, bowed and said, "Don't panic, my lord! Although Lü Bu is brave enough to defeat ten thousand men, he is still alone.

He might be able to succeed by launching a sneak attack on a dark and windy night, but if he were to engage our army in an open battle in broad daylight, we would definitely have the strength to defeat him in one fell swoop.

As long as Lu Bu can be defeated successfully, Chang'an City will lose its last support.

By then, this prosperous Chang'an City will surely become your treasure in your pocket!"

Cao Cao was originally extremely anxious, but after a brief period of self-adjustment, he finally calmed down.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and began to think carefully about what Xi Zhicai had just said.

The more I think about it, the more it seems plausible and convincing.

"Zhicai is right. I was shocked by Lu Bu's majesty just now and lost my composure for a moment."

So Cao Cao made a prompt decision and was about to issue an order to let his soldiers quickly adjust their direction of advance.

However, at this critical moment, a panicked scout came and reported: "My lord! Something bad has happened! Uncle Liu is leading a large number of troops to pursue us!"

Upon hearing this news, Cao Cao was shocked and asked suspiciously, "Isn't Liu Huangshu far away in Jingzhou? How come he suddenly appeared here? Have you seen the situation clearly? How many troops have they brought?"

The scout nodded and said, "My lord, this is absolutely true! I saw with my own eyes the flag of Emperor Liu flying in the sky. The dust was flying all over the sky as they marched. The team was huge and stretched for miles.

According to a rough estimate, their number must be at least 100,000!"

One hundred thousand people? Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai looked at each other and saw horror in each other's eyes.

After a long while, Cao Cao slowly said, "Uncle Liu led an army of 100,000 to rescue Chang'an. It is obvious that he wants to kill us all. At this time, the soldiers have experienced a series of battles and are already exhausted. It is not wise to rush into battle. I think we should retreat immediately."

Xi Zhicai was silent for a while.

"My lord, this matter is somewhat suspicious. Judging from the whereabouts of Emperor Liu, he has been organizing his troops in Xiangyang. How could he have come to Chang'an City in such a short time? I suspect this is Xu Shu's plan."

Cao Cao did not agree with Xi Zhicai's views.

"Liu Huangshu was a master of military tactics and often made unexpected moves. When he was pacifying Jiangdong, he pretended to confront Zhou Yu on the Yangtze River, but in fact he secretly sent out soldiers to surround Wu County in one fell swoop.

The past is a lesson for the future. We cannot make the same mistake again. I have made up my mind and will withdraw my troops immediately."
