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

"My Lord, this is bad..."

Accompanied by a cry of terror, a figure swept into Cao Cao's tent like a hurricane.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a scout covered in blood and in a miserable state.

He staggered, as if he would fall to the ground at any time, but he still rushed forward desperately.

Cao Cao frowned and said sternly: "Why are you so panicked!"

The scout fell to the ground with a thud, and said breathlessly: "My lord, a few days ago, Uncle Liu sent troops to attack our Nanzheng City!

General Xiahou was unfortunately ambushed by the enemy and was defeated in battle. In the end, he was killed by Huang Zhong. Now, Nanzheng has fallen into the hands of Emperor Liu! "

Upon hearing this bad news, Cao Cao felt a buzzing in his head and suddenly had a splitting headache.

He opened his eyes wide and shouted in disbelief, "How is this possible? Liu Huangshu just showed up in Chang'an a few days ago, so how could he sneak to Nanzheng without anyone noticing just a few days ago? Could he be able to fly?"

For a moment, countless questions came to Cao Cao's mind, causing him to fall into deep confusion and anxiety.

You know, the journey from Chang'an to Nanzheng is long, and it is not easy even if you travel day and night.

What's more, organizing an army to launch a surprise attack and successfully capture the city is simply unbelievable.

Cao Cao couldn't help but think to himself: Could it be that this Emperor Liu was not an ordinary person, but a deity who had descended to earth? Otherwise, how could he have such omnipotent powers?

The scout saw Cao Cao's puzzled look and answered decisively: "My lord, this is absolutely true! I was standing on the city wall when the army entered Nanzheng.

I saw Uncle Liu standing majestically under the city wall, commanding the army to fight. This scene is definitely not wrong, my lord, please take a closer look! "

"Oh my! We have been fooled! The person who appeared in Chang'an City was not the Emperor Liu himself. This was clearly a trick they used to confuse the enemy!"

Xi Zhicai shouted in annoyance, his wise eyes flashing with a look of sudden enlightenment.

After a short pause, Xi Zhicai continued, “Chang’an City has never received any reinforcements from the beginning to the end!

All of this was carefully planned by Xu Shu. He mobilized all the troops in Chang'an City and carefully arranged this formation of suspicious troops that was difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

In order to set up false troops, he actually turned Chang'an into an empty city.

Such ingenious strategies and extraordinary courage are rare in the world!

Before this, I always thought that although Xu Shu was good at scheming, he could not be compared with me after all.

However, it was not until today that I realized that this person's strategic talent is even better than mine!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao's already gloomy face was now covered with a thick layer of haze. He clenched his fists unwillingly and said with gritted teeth: "How abominable! Since Chang'an City has not received any additional troops, I will immediately lead the army to attack Chang'an and catch him off guard!"

Faced with Cao Cao's urgent decision, Xi Zhicai sighed deeply, then slowly shook his head to express his opposition.

He frowned and analyzed solemnly: "My lord, how could someone who could come up with such a brilliant plan of empty city not have expected that you would suddenly turn back?

In my opinion, he must have already taken all necessary precautions. Moreover, the city of Chang'an is now guarded by the incomparably brave Lu Bu. It would be very difficult to capture Chang'an in one fell swoop!"

Now Nanzheng has fallen into the hands of Uncle Liu. Under her control, the food supply has been cut off!

If we cannot capture this city in a short period of time, then as time goes by, once the army's food and grass are exhausted, the army will be in a dilemma and will be in an irreversible situation! "

After he finished speaking, Xi Zhicai's face became solemn and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"The opportunity has passed. We must not take it by force. The wisest thing to do now is to march westward as quickly as possible.

While Uncle Liu was still in shock, they headed straight for Sanguan.

Then they retreated along the old road of Chencang all the way to Jiange.

Only by doing so can we preserve these elite warriors in our hands."

At this moment, Xi Zhicai was extremely anxious, and his words were full of anxiety.

Before this, the reason they retreated to Wuzhangyuan for a short rest was that they wanted to take advantage of this place to withdraw to Nanzheng along the Xiegu Road.

Then he crossed Dingjun Mountain from Nanzheng and followed the Dangqu River to Hanchang, thus successfully entering the heart of Yizhou.

However, things went against one's wishes. Now that Liu Bei had occupied Nanzheng, this undoubtedly meant that the route back south along the Xiegu Road had become a bubble and an unattainable luxury like a mirage.

At this time, we can only make a quick decision and race against time with Uncle Liu. If Uncle Liu is given time to reorganize and advance westward, we can stop them in Hanzhong. By then, it will be too late to regret.

"My Lord, there must be no further hesitation on this matter. Please make a quick decision!"

Cao Cao held his forehead with his hand, his face full of pain: "Oh, my head hurts so much that it feels like it's about to split. As for the matter of retreating, Zhicai, you can make the decision yourself!"

After saying this, he closed his eyes and said no more.

……

……

At the same time, Huang Zhong, who was far away in Nanzheng, heard about the battle situation in the front and couldn't help but show excitement. The wrinkles on his face seemed to be smoothed out a lot because of joy.

Looking back to the time when he was in Jingzhou, Uncle Liu was willing to give up four counties of Nanyang County in exchange in order to get himself back from Liu Biao.

Huang Zhong always kept this deep friendship in his heart and secretly vowed to repay Uncle Liu for his kindness.

However, during these days, although he followed Uncle Liu in his expeditions, fought bravely and achieved countless military exploits, Huang Zhong always felt deep down that his achievements were not significant enough and he was far from being able to fully repay Uncle Liu's appreciation and trust in him.

Finally, in the battle to attack Nanzheng, Huang Zhong had the honor of serving as the vanguard.

Facing the powerful enemy Xiahou Yuan, he was not afraid and fought bravely. After a hard battle, he finally succeeded in defeating the enemy and even cut off Xiahou Yuan's head with his own hands.

At this point, Huang Zhong finally felt a little relieved, and felt that this achievement might be able to express his gratitude to Uncle Liu.
