Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 195 The troops are approaching the city!

The city of Yiling was filled with gloom and gloom.

Liu Bei paced back and forth in the hall, worried. The spies reported earlier that Ma Chao had led his army towards Yiling.

Apparently Cao Cao had convinced Ma Chao.

"The hateful thief Cao actually used such shameless means to deceive Ma Chao!"

Guan Yu sighed angrily, his heart filled with nervousness.

Although his force is amazing, the outcome of a war cannot be determined by personal force.

Ma Chao had an army of 100,000. Even if Liu Bei added some troops after coming to Yiling, the total was less than 10,000.

Such a huge disparity made it impossible for them to see any possibility of winning.

Even Zhuge Liang, who was extremely resourceful, frowned deeply at this moment and fell into self-doubt.

Zhang Fei's violent temper suddenly came back to him, and he walked to the door with his eyes wide open.

"Young Ma Chao actually listened to the slander. I think he is a fool. If he dares to come, I will make sure he never comes back!"

Everyone heard Zhang Fei's words, but no one had any reaction.

Because they knew that these were just angry words, and if not, all of them would be buried in Yiling City!

"My lord, for the present plan it is better to leave early. If we are blocked in Yiling City, it will be too late to retreat."

Mi Zhu came out and stepped forward to persuade.

When he was in Xuzhou, he saw how extraordinary Liu Bei was, so he spent all his money to help Liu Bei and gained Liu Bei's trust.

I originally thought that Liu Bei was a relative of the royal family, an uncle of the Han Dynasty emperor, and he also had the talents of a tycoon. This investment was a sure profit.

But now, they have been wandering around and faced with many dangers. It is a miracle that they are still alive.

Mi Zhu felt more and more that her original investment in Liu Bei was a failure.

But now, everything he has is on Liu Bei's body, and he can no longer separate. He can only stay with Liu Bei.

After Liu Bei heard the persuasion, he hesitated a little. After all, he had just left Jiangdong, where he had been living under someone else's roof, and found Yiling as a place to stay, but he had to leave again before he was settled.

How could he give it up?

But when he thought that Ma Chao's army was about to arrive, he felt panic again, and finally he could only look at Zhuge Liang helplessly.

"Military advisor, I wonder what you think we should do now?"

Zhuge Liang's expression was gloomy. He had changed since he left Jiangdong. The most obvious thing was that his self-confidence was about to disappear.

At this moment, he shook his head and sighed helplessly: "My lord, I'm afraid it's already too late if I leave now."

Sure enough, before he finished speaking, a soldier hurriedly rushed in.

"Lord, something bad has happened, Ma Chao has already arrived at the city!"

When Liu Bei heard this, his eyes widened in horror.

"How come it's so fast?"

Zhuge Liang sighed and thought, "As expected."

The Xiliang cavalry are good at fighting on horseback, and riding horses to attack is their strength. Therefore, the journey from Jiangxia to Yiling was about one-third faster than the normal time.

But Zhang Fei grabbed the Zhangba Snake Spear and shouted: "Brother, don't worry, let me get Ma Chao's head!"

Liu Bei was almost going crazy with anxiety. In this situation, wouldn't going to war be equivalent to dying?

He looked at Zhuge Liang with pleading eyes, hoping that Zhuge Liang could turn the tide at this time.

Zhuge Liang sighed helplessly, stood up and said, "Master, I can only give it a try."

"If we can convince Ma Chao, we may be able to avoid using weapons. Otherwise, we will be really in danger." Hearing Zhuge Liang's unconfident words, Liu Bei knew that this time they might really be at the end of the road, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply. .

On Yiling City, Liu Bei and others were standing on the top of the wall, the gate was closed, and the soldiers on all the walls were waiting in full formation, but their expressions already revealed the panic in their hearts.

Ma Chao led the army to the front of the city. Looking at Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and others on the city wall, the anger in his heart almost burst out.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang stepped forward and shouted at this moment.

"General Ma Chao, you have promised to surrender to our lord before, why do you do this now? Does the general want to betray his promise?"

As soon as he heard this, Ma Chao was so angry that his mouth was filled with smoke.

"You are such a common man, you deceived me before, and now you dare to appear in front of me. When I break the city, I will hang your dog's head on the city wall!"

Zhuge Liang sighed, knowing that Ma Chao no longer believed in them at this moment, and he couldn't help but feel endless resentment in his heart, resenting Ye Fan's methods.

But now he had to keep persuading.

"General Ma Chao, my lord is sincere and wants to help the Han Dynasty. And Cao Cao is a Han traitor. Instead of attacking him, you come to attack us. What's the point?"

"Besides, you promised to surrender before, but now you go back on it, wouldn't you make the world laugh at you?"

Ma Chao suddenly sneered twice and pointed his spear directly at the city.

"Shut up, Zhuge Pifu, I am a great general, a duting lord conferred by the imperial court, commanding a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and you only have a few thousand men under your command. You want me to surrender in just a few words?"

"I almost made me the laughing stock of the world after I believed you. Now you want to bewitch me. It's just a dream!"

Zhuge Liang suddenly became angry and said quickly: "General, you have fallen into the trap of Ye Fan and Cao Cao!"

"Everything they said is false. We have nothing to do with your father's death. If your father is alive in heaven, I'm afraid he will be disappointed in the general if he knows!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Ma Chao roared, his face full of anger.

Not only did these people deceive him, but now they even used their dead father to influence him. They were worse than animals.

"Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, just wash your necks and wait for me!"

……

On the other side, Cao's camp was not idle either.

"Prime Minister, now Ma Chao has turned his head to attack Liu Bei, but according to Liu Bei's usual style, he might let them escape this time."

"So I think we should also send troops to help Ma Chao, surround Liu Bei together, and annihilate Liu Bei in one fell swoop!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed and said quickly: "Sir, you are right, it is exactly what it should be."

"Then Liu Bei's repeated escapes are really annoying. Now all the soldiers and horses are at the command of Sir. Sir, feel free to make arrangements!"

Ye Fan nodded, and then turned to look at the generals below, with a warlike light flashing in everyone's eyes.

This time, it was almost certain to deal with Liu Bei, but in order to avoid any surprises, Ye Fan still let a few stable generals go into battle.

"Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, you two will lead a large army to support Ma Chao, and then besiege Yiling City from the west."

"Le Jin, Li Dian... you generals are also going with the army."

"This time, Liu Bei must be eliminated in Yiling City!"

The generals whose names were called all looked excited, stood up directly, and said loudly:

"As ordered!"
