In the open place on the mountain, Liu Xie was wrapped in a fluffy cloak, holding a stove and looking at Cao Jun who was not retreating but advancing in the river: "Feng Xiao, Cao Ren is really good at fighting, as you said, he will put all his eggs in one basket."

Guo Jia was standing beside him, dressed thicker than Liu Xie, holding a heater, and his whole body was round like a cloth ball: "If the [-] cavalry of Cao's army who came across the river fight to the death, we will not be able to fall. With one thousand enemies and eight hundred self-inflicted losses, we still have to give Cao Ren a way to survive so that he will not fight to the death."

How to give Cao Ren a living?

At this time, the mountain they were standing on was on a grassy slope at the foot of the mountain. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led their team to gallop out of the forest, shouting imposingly: "Where is Cao Ren!? I recognize you, Grandpa Guan and Grandpa Zhang!!! "

Cao Ren was shocked again, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were on the south bank!

In an instant, Cao Ren changed his order - "withdraw troops!!!"

There is no defender in Xinye, so there is no need to be afraid of being dumped. If you can withdraw, you will naturally withdraw.

Seeing that Cao Jun, who was originally crossing the south bank, began to retreat again, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came to the slope below to take the lead in attacking Cao Jun who was crossing the river. Being ambushed and turned into a mess, Guo Jia on the mountain smiled with narrowed eyes.

Liu Xie hurriedly praised him: "Ai Qing's words are not false at all. As soon as Guan and Zhang go out, Cao Ren will retreat. Once he retreats, his combat power will be nothing to fear. This plan will eat Cao Jun's [-] elite cavalry. ! Really good."

Guo Jia smiled subtly: "Your Majesty, this is just a small victory, as for the following..."

After Liu Xie gave up watching the battle below and focused on him, he said: "I ask the emperor to cooperate."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are on the south bank, who led the ambush on the north bank?

Wei Yan.

Everything is like a plan, Wei Yan just can't understand why Guo Jia told him to "don't chase after him, just show yourself"?

If Cao Ren can be beheaded, then Nanyang can be taken back, a big victory!It's a pity that Liu Xie issued an order, and Guo Jia had no objections, so Wei Yan had no choice but to act according to plan.

As the wind and snow intensified, Liu Xie shrank his neck and turned around and said, "Feng Xiao, let's go back to the city first." Guo Jia's health is not good, don't get cold out of it, the loss outweighs the gain.

Cao Jun's troops on the south bank were in disarray and were waiting to die. Cao Ren retreated to the north of the river, led more than [-] remnants to break out of the encirclement, and fled all the way.

Fortunately, the one chasing him was a young general who hadn't experienced many battles. On the way, he even stopped to bury a pot to make a meal, and then chased after eating. Otherwise, Cao Ren really wouldn't be able to escape.

Cao Ren fled back to Nanyang and dared not leave easily.

When Cao Cao arrived, he reported the whole story honestly——

Cao Cao sat and listened, but he didn't get angry.

"Zhang Yun didn't lie to you. The Son of Heaven has indeed arrived in Xiangyang, but I don't know how Zhang Yun was found out. He has already been beheaded. Without this person, detailed news comes slowly. It is impossible to know the fastest military situation. gone."

Cao Ren looked depressed, and Cao Cao saw it and said, "Xiaozuo Baodi only brought a few servants to Xiangyang, a group of children in their twenties, I didn't expect it to be so powerful! You can send someone to check, who are they?" ?”

Cao Ren said: "Check it out, the emperor brought four people, one of the three servants is a captain of the imperial army, the captain is average, if he is not inexperienced, he will not be able to return to Nanyang, the other three, one is Gan Ning , took over Zhang Yun's navy, one named Lu Xun, and the other named Guo Jia."

Cao Cao frowned: "Guo Jia?"

After a while, he said: "I have heard this name before, it seems to be a counselor, this plan must come from him."

Cao Ren murmured, "My lord, how can I be sure? What if it's Xun Yu..."

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Xun Yu's heart is not about me, but the emperor! How could he abandon me? The most important thing in his heart is the emperor. He probably doesn't know about this matter at all. If he knew , the emperor is absolutely not allowed to take risks in person! No wonder the emperor only brought a few young people with him, and the other veterans would definitely not agree. The ministers objected, how could he go to Xiangyang? The emperor ran out with the ministers behind his back! He ran for ten years He is still running! This time, I want him to remember what price he should pay for running around like this!"

After a while, Cao Cao said: "Liu Bei is far away in Yizhou. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are reckless and rough men. In their eyes, righteousness is greater than loyalty. If something happens to Liu Bei, they will not be able to sit still. The emperor worried about this, so he went to Xiangyang personally." ...Zhang Yun's words are reasonable, and they are exactly the same as what I thought. If so, you send someone to spread some rumors, saying that Liu Bei was hit by an arrow, and his life and death are uncertain..."

On the south side, Liu Xie looked at a plum tree in the corridor and said, "Cao Cao is used to alienation. The emperor is far away in Yizhou and is not here. Cao Cao is afraid that he wants to start between me and the two uncles. There must be something about the emperor in the near future." Uncle's rumors, uncles, please pay attention, be sure to fall for it."

Guan Yu was puzzled, but Zhang Fei asked, "Why?"

Liu Xie said: "I don't know if the two uncles have heard the saying 'cleverness is misunderstood by cleverness'?"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were just straight-tempered, not stupid. After realizing it, they smiled and agreed.

Within two days, rumors spread everywhere in Xiangyang City. Guan and Zhang heard the rumors and rushed to the government office to see Liu Xie.

It was useless for Liu Xie to comfort him. Seeing that Guan Zhang had made up his mind to leave, he had to let him go.

Guan Zhang knew that he couldn't take his troops away, but he was free and easy. He only rode out of the city to Yizhou, and [-] soldiers remained in Xinye.

Wei Yan retreated to Xinye after chasing Cao Ren, and now he just took over Liu Bei's army and guarded the small city.

Lu Xun sighed: "Sure enough, the emperor expected it. As soon as something happened to Liu Bei, the two generals left. If the emperor was not in front of him, they would leave without even saying a word."

Gan Ning said, "You shouldn't let them go! It must be Cao Cao's trick!"

Liu Xie looked at Guo Jia, and saw Guo Jia sitting there motionless, did he ask him to confess?How can there be such a black-hearted courtier~

Just kidding, since Guo Jia didn't say anything, let Liu Xie tell the others. If Liu Xie said it, their opposition could be suppressed.

Clearing his throat, Liu Xie said solemnly: "Xingba, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei left by order."

Gan Ning stared, "Huh?"

Liu Xiedao: "I have already made it clear to them that Cao Cao is used to alienating people, so there must be rumors, and I want them to be deceived and leave on purpose."

Gan Ning asked: "Why? Without them, Cao Cao would take advantage of the opportunity to go south at any time, but the emperor is going back to Jiangling?"

"No," Liu Xie said, "I'm just baiting Cao Ren, don't you feel it's a loss?"

Gan Ning frowned and thought for a while: "Could it be that the emperor wants to lure Cao Cao?"

Liu Xie asked back, "I'm not big enough?"

Gan Ning said: "If your majesty doesn't have enough weight, there won't be enough weight in the world!"

Lu Xun hesitated and said, "But Guan Yu and Zhang Fei don't have soldiers and horses. What's the use of them? Cao Cao is very powerful. Even if they go to Jiangling and lead the three armies, they can't trap Cao Cao."

Liu Xie nodded at him: "Think carefully."

Lu Xun was startled, showing a thoughtful look, as long as he stood there with his hands down, Liu Xie would know what he was thinking of, so he didn't rush to explain, and asked, "Bo Yan, let's guess, what can Guan Yu and Zhang Fei do? "

Lu Xun lacks experience, but Liu Xie still has great hopes for him, hoping that he can see Guo Jia's layout.

Lu Xun pondered for a moment: "I dare to guess, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are very straightforward. The emperor thinks that he has been deeply touched by this in the past two days. These two people are not blind to the monarch, but they don't stick to red tape. It's not deep enough. The two of them are like this, maybe...Liu Bei actually has the same intentions. Although Liu Bei is an uncle of the emperor, he was born in poverty and made a living by weaving mats and selling shoes. He may not understand the affairs of the court. As a result, I thought, if Liu Bei is really like this, after Guan Yu and Zhang Fei go to Yizhou—”

"Zhao Wei is nothing to worry about, not to mention that there are advisers like Zhuge Liang and Chen Gong, Yizhou will be stable within a month, and once Guan Yu and Zhang Fei arrive, Liu Bei knows that the emperor is in danger, and the emperor's move is tantamount to saying to Liu Bei. : Liu Bei relies on him wholeheartedly and has no suspicion."

Liu Xie put down the cup, Lu Xun stood beside Liu Xie, and hurriedly refilled the tea, Gan Ning didn't have time to grab the "merit", and stood aside and stared at Lu Xun.

But Lu Xun was lost in thought and didn't realize it, he carried the copper pot and continued: "In this way, Liu Bei will personally bring Guan, Zhang and Yizhou soldiers to rescue him, the emperor not only caught Cao Cao, but also caught Liu Bei together. "

The corners of Guo Jia's mouth curled up and he smiled.

Liu Xie sighed: "Bo Yan, I only want you to guess, how can you guess all of them..."

Lu Xun blushed, and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Chen..." His skin is thin, and I can't come out from behind.

But Gan Ning said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you let Boyan guess, and it's strange for Boyan to guess." He actually offered to help Lu Xun.

Liu Xie waved his hand: "We really want to coax Liu Bei out of Yizhou, so that he won't occupy the land and become king. As for this plan, Guo Jia came up with it. I have already agreed. Let him tell you!"

With Liu Xie's words foreshadowing, Guo Jia can tell the whole story:

"Whether Liu Bei is as Bo Yan said will not be mentioned for the time being. Chen Gong has led troops into Yizhou, this is one; Liu Bei also has Zhuge Liang who the emperor trusts, this is the second; Calling the heroes of the world in his personal capacity, if he knows that the emperor is in danger and does not save him, what else can he rely on in the future, the third, there are three points, loyal or disloyal, he must come."

Lu Xun held the copper pot in his hand, and was stunned when he heard it.

Guo Jia is going to use the emperor as a bait to kill two birds with one stone!But... it's too risky!

Lu Xun finally understood why Guo Jia deliberately wanted Wei Yan to show weakness and let Cao Ren flee back to Nanyang. This was to deceive Cao Cao.

Jingzhou army plus Yizhou soldiers and horses can fight Cao Cao!

But this plan is very dangerous, it is still a question whether Cao Cao will be fooled.

After thinking for a long time, Lu Xun asked: "How can I use a strategy that has already been used once?"

Liu Xie closed his eyes and rested his mind, and said slowly: "Because Guo Jia has already used it once, Cao Cao also thinks the same way as you, thinking that I will not use it again, and I just want to use it again. The same trap traps him twice. Filial piety is a good plan, so why not use it a few more times."

Lu Xun: "..."
