"Kong Ming, now that my hundreds of thousands of troops have gathered here in Xuchang, what are your plans now?"

Seeing that the wine was almost finished, Ma Teng said to Zhuge Liang with a smile all over his face.

Han Sui followed closely:

"That's right, it is said that Wolong is resourceful and resourceful, can you let me see it later today?"

Hearing what the two said, the Xiliang sergeants who were still drinking quickly put down their glasses one after another, and turned their eyes to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang didn't say a word, just waved the feather fan slightly with an inscrutable look.

Seeing this, the two of Ma Teng looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Military division, everyone is waiting for you, what are you doing?"

The hot-tempered Zhang Fei couldn't hold back, and said with a red neck.

Ma Teng was not angry, but frowned slightly and said:

"Mr. Wolong, we have no way out this time, don't you want to joke with us."

Zhuge Liang smiled lightly and said:

"Don't worry, generals, we will surely win this battle. I just thought of a certain military adviser of the Cao army and fell into my thoughts for a while."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhuge Liang continued:

"For this attack on Xuchang, we and other coalition forces have a total of more than 150,000 troops. I sent a spy to wait and see before, and the entire force of Xuchang is only about 10,000."

"And these soldiers are not elites, they are just peasants who support their families in order to lead the army's salary."

"The troops that can be mobilized from the surrounding cities, even including Chang'an and Luoyang, even if they can arrive in time, add up to less than 50,000."

"At present, for Xuchang, the nearest Cao army is commanded by Xiahou Dun. After the failure of the attack on Xinye, there are about 50,000 people left."

"And these 50,000 soldiers are still the defeated army, and their morale is low."

"This Xuchang is already in our pocket, and the army will surely break it when it comes to the city, so why use tricks?"

Having said that, Zhuge Liang picked up the teacup and sipped the tea, continuing to look unfathomable.

"Mr. Wolong is right!"

Han Sui took the lead in saying:

"Before we were afraid of being beaten by Cao Jun. We have always fought more with less. Now that the main force of Cao Jun is in Jiangdong, why should we be afraid?"

Hearing this, everyone was immediately happy, and once again picked up their wine glasses to drink freely.

Zhuge Liang does not drink, but casts his eyes to the horizon, thoughtful in his heart.

This battle is a battle of proof!

Bai Feng, who was born out of the sky, slapped him a few times before. The morale of the Shu army was really low. Now there is such a huge bait as Jiangdong, which lures Bai Feng and Cao Cao to take the bait.

This battle must be won!

Zhuge Liang has always been quite conceited with his reputation, and now he has finally succeeded in plotting against Bai Feng, luring him into a trap step by step.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang is also quite happy in his heart.

At the same time, in Xuchang.

At this moment, Xuchang has been blocked all over the city, and the place where Liu Bei and the Xiliang army meet is not far from Xuchang, and soon the whole city knows the news.

Right now all the sergeants are ready to fight, to prevent night attack.

"My lord, Xu Chang will definitely be unable to withstand this battle. For your safety, please leave the city as soon as possible and head south tonight to find the prime minister."

Xun You looked at the two gorgeously dressed young men in front of him with a bitter expression, and said in a low voice:

"Information has come that the bandit army has just assembled today. Tonight should be counted, recharge your batteries, and the possibility of a night attack is very slim. Right now, tonight is the only chance!"

"If it's tomorrow, the bandit army will definitely besiege and attack the city, and the city will be blocked by then!"

These two are none other than Cao Cao's sons.

Cao Pi, Cao Zhi!

Cao Pi squinted his eyes, looked at the faintly flickering flames not far away, and said in a deep voice:

"Mr. Xun, do you know what city this Xuchang is?"

Xun You nodded silently and said:

"It's the prime minister's capital."

Cao Pi punched the city wall and continued:

"This is where my father worked hard, the basis for conquering the world, and the belief of our army!"

"If I abandon the city and flee at this time, leaving Xuchang to Liu Bei Ma Teng and others, how do you want me to face my father? How to face the soldiers of the three armies?!"

When Xun You heard this, he just lowered his head and said nothing.

However, Cao Zhi on the side frowned slightly and said:

"Second brother! It's not like you don't know the current situation. Right now, the two of us should go find my father first, and then assemble an army. Can a mere hundred thousand bandit army hold Xuchang?"

"Besides, Mr. Xun is still guarding the capital right now. Maybe father's army is coming, and the bandit army has not captured Xuchang yet!"

"But we stay here, in case something happens, how do you ask Mr. Xun to explain to his father?"

Xun You nodded hastily, Cao Zhi's words can be regarded as saying that his heart is on the line.

Cao Pi sneered and said:

"Zijian, you are so greedy for life and afraid of death? If you are afraid of death, then you go first."

"I vow to live and die with Xu Chang. Even if I die in battle, my father will never blame Mr. Xun. Why should a man be afraid of death?"

Cao Zhi shook his head helplessly and said:

"Mr. Xun, my second brother has made up his mind, you can send me out of the city first, and now we should find my father first and then make a decision."

Xun You sighed, and responded:

"Here."

After all, Cao Zhi got into the carriage that Xun You had arranged long ago, and went out of the city all the way.

Xun You only looked at Cao Pi who was still staring at the bonfire of the bandit army not far away, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Cao Pi was right. Now that Cao Ang is dead, Cao Pi is now the eldest son of the prime minister, and he is the soul of Xuchang. If Cao Pi left without saying a word, it would not be a good thing for the soldiers guarding the city.

At that time, morale will inevitably drop, and it will be even more difficult to deal with the bandit army.

But Xun You never expected that Cao Pi's courage and courage far exceeded his imagination! In such a situation where it is almost certain to die, he can still choose to stay with the city!

For a moment, Xun You seemed to see the shadow of the prime minister in Cao Pi.

Cao Pi narrowed his eyes and said to Xun You in a deep voice:

"Mr. Xun, you go to settle down the sergeants and change shifts for the night. Although the chance of night raids by the bandit army is extremely small now, we still cannot relax our vigilance."

"Let the sergeant fully rest, so that he can defend the city tomorrow."

Xun You burst into tears suddenly, and said:

"Follow the son's order, I will definitely issue this order!"

After finishing speaking, Xun You turned around and wanted to leave.

Cao Pi rubbed his chin, and called Xun You:

"Wait a minute, Mr. Xun, can you make a plan on how to retreat the emperor?"

Xun You was taken aback for a moment, then said:

"Don't worry, son, I have settled down and will escort the emperor out of the city later."

Cao Pi raised his hand:

"no!"

Hearing this, Xun You was a little taken aback.

Shouldn't the emperor be withdrawn?
