Chapter 199
Wancheng South.
The 70,000 Han army was marching north under the scorching sun.
"That Cao Ren is a famous general of the Cao family, and there are 7,000 elite soldiers in Wancheng, which should not be underestimated. "
"Can the military advisor have a clever plan to quickly break through Wancheng?"
Liu Bei pointed to the direction of Wancheng in front of him.
"Cao Ren, mediocre talents. "
"As long as my army enters the city, within ten days, Liang has his own clever plan to break the city for the king!"
Zhuge Liang understated, but exuded the momentum of controlling everything.
Liu Bei's face was pleased, and he said with a smile: "The military advisor is so confident, then the king will be relieved." "
"Let's break Wancheng within ten days, after Cao Thief hears the news, it will take at least ten days to gather troops and horses to allocate reinforcements. "
Liang still has the confidence to take Xuchang in one fell swoop before the Cao thief reinforcements go south. "
"If Xuchang recovers, the states of the Central Plains will be shaken by the hearts of the people, and the wind will fall!"
"In addition, Sun Ce East Road broke Hefei, Xia Shouchun, and the soldiers arrived in Xuzhou, and Cao Thief must be unable to take care of each other. "
"The great cause of the Great King's Northern Expedition will be successful!"
Zhuge Liang's face was full of confidence, planning a glorious future for Liu Bei.
The more Liu Bei listened, the more excited he became, and laughed and said: "Okay, okay, then what are we waiting for, send an order to the whole army, accelerate the advance, and be sure to kill the city of Wancheng before dark!"
He had just given the order.
A scout rode ahead, galloping forward.
"King Yu, there is an urgent report from the north, Cao Cao personally led an army of 100,000 people to pass Xuchang and is rushing towards Wancheng!"
Liu Bei's figure flickered, and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, turning into consternation.
Zhuge Liang also looked awe-inspired, and a look of surprise flashed in his calm and confident eyes.
"Strategist, did the Cao thief personally lead a large army to save Wancheng?"
Liu Bei's gaze in disbelief looked at Zhuge Liang anxiously.
Zhuge Liang's thoughts turned, his brows condensed, and he snorted coldly: "Cao Thief wants to fight quickly, defeat us, and then rush back to Yecheng quickly, so as not to affect his pacification of the hearts of the people of Hebei." "
Liu Bei suddenly realized, and said in a deep voice: "What a Cao thief, he is so confident that he can quickly break our army of 70,000!"
"Cao thief is the capture of Hebei, complacent, thinking that he is invincible in the world, and he dares to despise us because he has Cao Yuan's advice. "
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, and his eyes were sarcastic.
Liu Bei realized.
"King, Cao Yuan's army of 100,000 thieves is menacing, and Cao Yuan is indeed as resourceful as a god, which should not be underestimated. "
"Yan thinks that we have no certainty of victory in the Northern Expedition, so we should immediately return to the south to avoid a head-on confrontation with Cao Thief. "
Li Yan was instigated and persuaded Liu Bei to withdraw on the spot.
Liu Bei's brows furrowed, and his expression was unwilling.
The slogan of his Northern Expedition was loud and loud, and the 70,000 army marched straight to Wancheng, seeing that the future of the Northern Expedition was bright.
If a battle is not fought, he will return to Jingzhou in such a gloomy manner, not to mention the consumption of grain and grass and military funds in vain, and it will greatly damage morale, making the world think that he is afraid of Cao Cao.
This is undoubtedly unacceptable to him, who has just been called the king of Han and urgently needs a victory to establish his prestige.
"What if the thief Cao comes to the rescue, let's destroy his 100,000 army together!"
Zhuge Liang raised his feather fan, and a murderous aura appeared on his face.
Liu Bei's spirits were greatly lifted, and he said happily: "Military advisor, could it be that you have some clever plan to break the 100,000 army of Cao thieves?"
"Liang Liu's Cao thief will not be satisfied with relieving the siege of Wancheng this time, but also want to recover Xinye in one fell swoop and push his defense line to the front line of Hanshui. "
"Only in this way can he lock us south of the Han River and completely remove the threat of Xu Luo's line. "
"Then we pretended to be afraid, and the army deliberately retreated to the south, and led the Cao thief to Xinye. "
"As long as the Cao thief comes in a scheme, Liang has his own clever plan to severely damage the Cao thief army in Xinye!"
"Break the 100,000 army of Cao thieves, we can take advantage of the victory to cover up and go north, don't say that it is impossible to take Wancheng and eat Xuchang in one go, and even Luoyang!"
Zhuge Liang was confident in strategizing, and promised Liu Bei a painting cake.
The dark clouds on Liu Bei's face disappeared in an instant and turned into ecstasy.
"Strategist, what kind of trick do you have to break the 100,000 army of Cao thieves in Xinye City?"
Zhuge Liang smiled mysteriously, stepped forward, and put his plan with Liu Bei.
Liu Bei became more and more happy, and praised it: "The military advisor is worthy of being Wolong, such a magic plan, even if Cao Thief has Cao Yuan by his side, it will never be possible to see through the military division's clever plan!"
Zhuge Liang's feather fan shook lightly, smiling without saying a word.
Liu Bei raised his horse whip and laughed: "Pass the order, the whole army will feint to retreat to the south, and lead the Cao thief to the king to Xinye!"
......
Yecheng, the state pastoral house.
In the courtyard, Cao Yuan drank a little wine and lay on a rocking chair to bask in the sun.
Fu Shou served on the side, sometimes adding wine to Cao Yuan, and sometimes feeding her a few pieces of snacks.
Xiahou Juan and the others are also very knowledgeable, knowing that their husband has just accepted this Queen Fu, which is exactly the time when you and I are like glue.
They said that they had their own affairs, and gave up the opportunity to serve and accompany Cao Yuan to Fu Shou.
"This kind of day can be compared to the days when I was a queen, I don't know how many times I was happy..."
Fu Shou was full of affection, looking up at that handsome face, and secretly sighed in his heart.
"Ziyou, your fairy-like little life is really enviable!"
A hearty laugh rang out behind him.
Cao Yuan looked back and saw that Xiahou had stepped forward.
"What kind of wind blew Uncle Yuan to me. "
Cao Yuan greeted with a smile and motioned to Fu Shou to watch the seat and drink.
Fu Shou hurriedly invited Xiahoudun to a seat and served wine.
Xiahoudun looked at Fu Shou's obedient appearance, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart, so he guessed what means Meng De, a genius son, used to make this former queen so obedient, without half of the queen's self-confidence.
"The king is about to go south, and Yuan asked my uncle to come here, probably to inform me that I am going south with the army. "
Cao Yuan asked casually.
Xiahou was shocked and said curiously: "Ziyou, how did you know that King Wei was going to move his army south?"
"Although the King of Wei has captured Hebei, there are still Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army, the remnants of Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan in Bingzhou, and the Wuhuan people in Youzhou have not been extinguished, and the hearts of the people in various states and counties have not yet been completely annexed. "
"Liu Bei and Sun Ce should know that this is their last chance to get their hands on the Central Plains, otherwise they will have no chance once the King of Wei settles Hebei and integrates the entire north. "
"In that case, I expect them to form an alliance and send troops north. "
"The king of Wei will definitely send a general to defend Hefei to block Sun Ce, and he will personally lead the army to Wancheng, in order to defeat Liu Bei in a quick battle, and then quickly return to Yecheng. "
Cao Yuan sipped his wine, and unhurriedly broke Liu Sun's movements and Cao Cao's response, to put it mildly.
Xiahoudun gasped and looked at Cao Yuan in amazement.
"Sun Ce and Liu Bei's every move, Meng De's countermeasures, have already been perceived by him!"
"Mengde, Mengde, I'm afraid that your son doesn't have clairvoyance, let's listen to the wind, I can't hide anything from him!"
Xiahoudun was secretly shocked.
"Ziyou, you are really like a god!"
"Actually, uncle, I came here today to tell you that Liu Bei and Sun Ce have indeed formed an alliance and sent troops to the north at the same time. "
"The king of Wei has led an army of 100,000 and personally went to Wancheng to deal with Liu Bei. "
Xiahoudun no longer concealed it.
Cao Yuan's expression changed, and he said strangely: "This is strange, why didn't King Wei call me south with the army?"
"King Wei said that you have been fighting with him for a few days over the years, and you have not had a good rest for a few days, which is really hard for you. "
"Now you have just accepted the Fu family, King Wei feels sorry for you, so he wants to keep you in Yecheng to accompany your wife and concubine, this time he went to Wancheng, so he did not let you accompany him. "
Xiahoudun explained.
Cao Yuan suddenly realized, and thought that Boss Cao was sympathetic to him, and he was quite moved in his heart.
"Anyway, as soon as the army of King Wei arrives, Liu Bei will not dare to confront him head-on, and he will definitely retreat, and he can solve the danger of Wancheng without me accompanying the army. "
Cao Yuan said and added himself a glass of wine.
Xiahoudun's expression changed again, and he exclaimed: "Ziyou, you are really a god, the messenger has just sent back an urgent report of eight hundred miles, then Liu Bei really retreated all the way, and the king of Wei took advantage of the situation to lead the army south to pursue and go straight to Xinye." "
"Shinno?"
Cao Yuan frowned, "Didn't King Wei just go to solve the danger of Wancheng, why did he go straight to Xinye?"
Xiahoudun smiled proudly: "You can underestimate the King of Wei, he is not only going to meet the danger of solving Wancheng, but also to take advantage of the situation to take Xinye, drive Liu Bei south of the Han River in one go, and completely remove the threat of Wanluo!"
Cao Yuan sighed lightly: "Liu Bei is assisted by Wolong, if King Wei is greedy and wants to take advantage of the situation to take Xinye, I am afraid that he will suffer a big loss!"
