Three Kingdoms: Wolong's brother-in-law, tricking Liu Bei into seizing Jingzhou

Thinking of this, Cheng Yu could no longer sit still.

Now the Nanman are his only refuge. If the Nanman are destroyed by Liu Bei, he will really be desperate and will have no way out but death.

For the sake of Nanman and himself, he must stand up.

So after taking a deep breath, Cheng Yu mustered up the courage to stand up and said loudly:

"King of Nanzhong! Xiao Fang is very cunning. I am afraid that the big-eared thief is retreating this time to lure him out of his hole.

I think we should stay calm and not chase them!"

As soon as Cheng Yu finished speaking, a look of displeasure flashed across Meng Huo's face.

He had full faith in the combat effectiveness of the Rattan Armor Army and firmly believed that the Rattan Armor Army was invincible.

However, at this time, Cheng Yu questioned his decision to lead the entire army in pursuit, which made him very dissatisfied.

Before Meng Huo could speak, Duo Si snorted coldly and said sarcastically:
"Cheng Yu, you said that Xiao Fang was cunning, so what kind of tricks did he have to defeat the Rattan Armor Army?"

Cheng Yu was immediately speechless.

The Rattan Armor Army was impervious to arrows and could be said to be almost invincible.

He racked his brains but could not think of any strategy that could break the defense of the Rattan Armor Army.

But just because he can't, doesn't mean Xiao Fang can't think of it.

Xiao Fang's wisdom is ten times greater than his!
You can never guess what kind of tricks Xiao Fang will come up with to deal with you.

"The Rattan Armor Army is invincible!"

Meng Huo looked at Cheng Yu, his words full of sarcasm:
"In front of the Rattan Armor Army, all tricks are nothing but clowns, nothing to be afraid of!"

"Cheng Zhongde, this is such a simple truth, can't you see it?"

Cheng Yu stood there quietly, silent.

Zhu Rong's eyebrows were raised, his eyes were wide open, his face was full of resentment, and he shouted at Cheng Yu:

"Cheng Yu, our army's morale is high now, please don't disturb their morale anymore!"

"Otherwise, even if the King of Nanzhong protects you, I, Zhu Rong, will never let you off easily!"

Her eyes were wide open, her finger was pointed straight at Cheng Yu, and she scolded him harshly.

From that posture, it seemed that if Li Cheng Yu dared to say a word, he would immediately jump up and chop Cheng Yu to death.

Cheng Yu felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart, and his whole body shuddered.

The original thought of dissuading him disappeared in an instant.

He had no choice but to lower his head and dared not speak again.

Seeing this, Meng Huo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible look of pride.

He was secretly happy in his heart, since he had subdued Cheng Yu, there would be no more obstacles.

So he waved his hand and gave orders loudly.

Meng Huo immediately led the main force of the barbarian army and headed north like a tiger or a wolf, pursuing the Han army aggressively.

Wutugu took the lead and led the rattan armor army, like the sharpest sword, standing at the forefront.

Meng Huo led his troops in hot pursuit, while Liu Bei commanded the Han army and retreated in an orderly manner.

After hearing Xiao Fang's advice, Liu Bei realized that he could not fight head-on at this time, so he decisively ordered his army to retreat northward quickly.

He only left Zhao Yun as bait, deliberately luring the Rattan Armor Army to pursue.

In order to make the scene realistic, Liu Bei reluctantly gave up all the cities one by one.

The Han army retreated all the way and lost several cities in succession.

Finally, the Han army retreated to Luyang City.

The geographical location of this city is extremely important. Once it is lost, Chengdu City will be directly exposed to the threat of the barbarian army.

Not only that, the entire Yizhou is likely to be on the verge of collapse under the watchful eyes of the barbarian army.

Inside the Chinese military tent.

The atmosphere was so heavy that water seemed to drip out of it.

Liu Bei sat upright in the main seat with a frown on his face.

This time, the generals finally couldn't stand it anymore, and they all stood up and made suggestions to Liu Bei:

"Your Majesty, Luyang City is our army's last line of defense. We can't abandon it anymore!"

"If you abandon me again, where will your majesty's authority be?" Zhang Fei was impatient and took the lead to ask Liu Bei for orders:
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead my army to fight to the death. Even if it costs me my life, I will never retreat!"

After saying this, his eyes widened and his hands clenched into fists, as if he would rush out to fight the barbarian army in the next moment.

Upon seeing this, the generals responded and stood up in unison.

There was raging anger in the eyes of all the generals.

The mighty Chinese royal army was chased northward by thousands of barbarian troops and even abandoned many cities. How could they endure such a great humiliation?

How could these battle-hardened generals endure such humiliation?
They had only one thought in their minds:
Even at the cost of our lives, we must fight the barbarian army to the death.

They wanted to let the barbarian army know that the dignity of the Han people could not be violated.

Liu Bei slowly looked at Xiao Fang.

The retreat to the north was originally Xiao Fang's strategy, so it was naturally up to him to deal with these excited generals.

Xiao Fang was not in a hurry. He slowly stood up, looking calm and composed.

When the generals saw this, their spirits instantly tensed up.

They had a hunch that Xiao Fang's next words would determine whether they would continue to retreat or turn back and fight the enemy to the death.

Everyone's eyes shot towards Xiao Fang like sharp arrows, full of expectation and a hint of doubt.

Xiao Fang took a deep breath and said loudly:

"Everyone, we will never abandon Luyang City again!"

"If we abandon it again, we will end up at Chengdu Plain."

"At this point, we have no way to retreat. We must defend Luyang City to the death!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the generals became wildly excited.

They finally got the answer they wanted, and their blood boiled instantly.

"Luyang City must be defended!"

Pang Tong frowned and said worriedly:
"But the vine armor army is too strong, and we still haven't found a way to break it."

"Prime Minister Xiao, we must have a perfect plan before we can fight against them."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei turned his gaze to Xiao Fang, wanting to see what countermeasures he had.

At this moment, Xiao Fang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious sneer:

"It's just a few broken vine armors. It's easy to break them."

When Xiao Fang said this, all the generals were stunned, as if they were struck by lightning.

Since you, Prime Minister Xiao, have a plan, why did you retreat repeatedly before?

The generals were puzzled and looked at each other.

However, Liu Bei heard the clue.

He has known Xiao Fang for a long time and knows Xiao Fang's character and strategies well.

Xiao Fang is so confident, he must have a good plan in mind, right?

"Jinglue, what plan do you have to defeat the Rattan Armor Army? Tell us quickly!"

Liu Bei then showed surprise on his face and asked impatiently.

Xiao Fang just smiled slightly and said nothing. Instead, he whispered his plan into Liu Bei's ear.

After hearing this, Liu Bei's face instantly showed surprise.

The originally furrowed brows also relaxed.

"You are so good, Xiao Jinglue, you are truly a sage in the world!"

"What a good plan, what a good plan!"

Liu Bei couldn't help laughing out loud, and his hearty laughter echoed in the tent.

The generals looked at each other, bewildered.

Obviously, they had no idea what kind of clever trick Xiao Fang had come up with to make the emperor so happy.

They could not imagine what kind of clever trick their Prime Minister Xiao could come up with to defeat the army in rattan armor that was impervious to arrows.

Everyone looked at Liu Bei, seeking an explanation.

Liu Bei did not say anything, but slapped the table and said happily:
"Okay, I will follow the Prime Minister's plan and defeat the Rattan Armor Army tomorrow!" (End of this chapter)
