"What General Ma means is that he wants to give up?"

Hearing these words, Liu Bei frowned slightly and said in a low voice.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, and said in a deep voice:

"Thieves Cao haven't marched backward yet."

"Although Jiangdong did not send a battle report to explain the current situation, there is no doubt that there is still a possibility of victory in the attack on Xuchang at this time."

"We are all gathered here for righteousness, for the Han Dynasty."

"Besides, even if General Ma returns to Xuchang at this time, do you think Thief Cao will let Xiliang go after he returns?"

Hearing this, Ma Teng fell silent for a moment.

That's right, since Cao Cao is already an enemy, once he returns, even if he withdraws his troops, he will inevitably meet Cao Cao's wrath, and he won't be able to escape cleanly.

From the very beginning, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang planned to tie the Xiliang Army with themselves. With these hundreds of thousands of troops, even if the Cao Army arrived, they had to weigh the strength of the Xiliang Army.

After finally getting the opportunity to encircle and suppress Cao Cao's base camp, how could Liu Bei give up lightly.

Ma Teng's face suddenly became serious, and after thinking about it, he finally agreed.

Zhuge Liang is not alarmist, Cao Cao has always been vengeful, before Tao Qian killed his father and went directly to slaughter the city.

Thinking about it this way, what I am doing now is even more excessive, and I directly surrounded the other people's base camp, how could Cao Cao let Xiliang go.

Cao Cao is known as a million-strong army, even if there is water, there must be hundreds of thousands.

Moreover, Cao Cao fought all the way from the north to the south, conquered all directions, and pacified countless cities. The quality and combat experience of the sergeants were simply incomparable to the Xiliang army.

If Cao Cao wanted to destroy Xiliang, he would really be able to!

Although Ma Teng promised not to withdraw his troops, but now it is even more troublesome.

How could Xuchang be so easy to capture?

Before Ma Teng was full of fighting spirit, it was because Xuchang had no support anywhere, and there were only more than ten thousand city defense troops in the city, and their combat effectiveness was not at the same level as that of the Xiliang Army.

But now it is different, the tiger and leopard are riding.

If there are only 5,000 tiger and leopard riders, they will last for a day or two at most.

The most terrible thing right now are the two mysterious generals!

One held a Qingzhi sword to repel Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and the other held two sledgehammers, and all the soldiers turned into meat paste where they swung.

Such a terrifying person is in Xuchang, how easy is it to capture them? !

In addition, due to the previous setbacks, the morale of Xiliang soldiers is very weak now.

Siege? Easier said than done!

"Although it is possible to try to attack the city, does Mr. Kong Ming have a plan right now?"

"Now it's completely different from before. Please ask Mr. Kong Ming for advice!"

Speaking of this, Ma Teng was a little anxious.

Zhuge Liang also frowned slightly, and then said:

"Yesterday, we still shouldn't divide the attack, we should attack all the soldiers and horses in one city."

"As long as I wait to enter the city, no matter how brave the two generals are, no matter how powerful the tiger and leopard riders are, we will still have the strength to fight."

"At the moment, the north gate is still severely damaged. Cao Jun will definitely not be able to repair it in one night. Tomorrow, I will lead the army to set out and attack the city as soon as possible, so as to have a chance of victory!"

Even though he said that, Zhuge Liang has no confidence at all, and everyone present can fully understand it.

This is just a way of no way, like gambling.

"At the moment, that's the only way to go. It's Mr. Kong Ming's ingenious plan."

Ma Teng nodded slightly in agreement.

At the same time, in the direction of Jingzhou.

Cao Cao had just returned to Jingzhou, and seeing that there were hardly many guards in Jingzhou, he could not help but smile wryly:

"Mr. Bai is really skilled and courageous."

"If Liu Bei turns around and captures Jingzhou at this time, I'm afraid Jingzhou will be destroyed without a fight."

Cao Ren nodded aside and said:

"However, Mr. Bai can see through Zhuge Liang's strategy so quickly, Zixiao still admires him very much."

Hearing this, Cao Cao laughed and said:

"It's not just you, even I am convinced by Mr. Bai."

Just as the two were chatting and entering the city, several civil servants suddenly ran in front of them.

"Prime Minister! Prime Minister!"

"Also ask the prime minister to be the master for us!"

Cao Cao took a closer look, and found that these civil servants were the gentry in the city. He frowned slightly and said in a low voice:

"Oh? What happened?"

The leading gentry hurriedly said:

"The prime minister doesn't know! A few days ago, Bai Feng insisted that Liu Bei was going to attack Xuchang and take away all the tiger and leopard riders in the city."

"Then Liu Bei came out in full force, apparently to attack Jingzhou. I would rather die than follow such a gamble."

"As a result, Master Chen Deng spoke out first, but was beheaded by that Bai Feng!"

"Being so lawless, it's obvious that Bai Feng has the intention of treason, so please ask the Prime Minister to make the decision for me."

Hearing this, Cao Cao frowned slightly, and said in a low voice:

"Then Jingzhou is in danger now?"

When the few gentry were asked this question, they froze in place and murmured:

"This... this is not true."

Cao Cao waved his hand and said in a low voice:

"Let's discuss what happened with Chen Deng. Now Xuchang is under siege. Please clean up immediately and follow me to Xuchang!"

The leading gentry immediately widened their eyes, and said in disbelief:

"Xuchang...is Xuchang really under siege?"

Cao Ren on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted loudly:

"The military situation cannot be delayed any longer. If you procrastinate any longer, you must be dealt with by military law!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Ren pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it at the gentry in front of him.

The gentry had never suffered such humiliation, and was about to say something, but seeing Cao Cao's expression was extremely serious at the moment, he hurriedly fled back.

"Prime Minister, about Doctor Chen..."

Cao Ren couldn't help asking.

Before Cao Cao could speak, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes behind him.

"Report! Prime Minister, urgent report from the rear!"

Cao Cao quickly looked back, and the messenger hurriedly said:

"Prime Minister, there is an urgent report from behind. Zhou Yu has received a secret report from Sun Quan. Now the entire Jiangdong Army is coming towards us!"

"Sure enough, Zhou Yu still came after him this week."

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, and whispered to Cao Ren beside him:

"Zixiao, I'll go to Xuchang first, and you will bring 40,000 people to the rear, don't be too eager to fight, you must detour with that Zhou Yu, and retreat towards the north while fighting!"

"Here!"

Cao Ren responded quickly, and then he wanted to ride his horse forward.

"Wait a minute."

Cao Cao waved his hand, and continued in a deep voice:

"Now most of the gentry cannot retreat in Jingzhou. We are marching at a very fast speed. I am afraid that we will not be able to take care of it. Don't let the Jiangdong Army approach Jingzhou and try to avoid it."

"You can order 10,000 troops to defend Jingzhou City and force Zhou Yu to retreat."

"Zhou Yu's mind is not in Jingzhou, so he will definitely not love to fight. If Jingzhou is lost because of this, I will ask you!"

Cao Ren hastily cupped his hands and said:

"Prime Minister, please rest assured that even if Zixiao sacrifices his life, he will guard Jingzhou and stop the Jiangdong Army!"
