Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 311: God is jealous of talents! (Thanks to Momen Yizhidou and bthj for their two monthly tickets~)

After hearing Pang Tong’s words, Liu Bei was stunned for a moment!

The next moment, his face darkened, and he kept shaking his head, muttering repeatedly:

"Impossible... Impossible! Zilong is not that kind of person... Even if he dies, he will never surrender to Lu Bu!"

Listening to Liu Bei's hysterical words, Pang Tong curled up a bitter smile.

The two protruding front teeth look particularly abrupt:

"Zilong is certainly not such a person. But if the enemy army designs a duel between him and Lu Bu.

“If you win, let him come back; if you lose, let him join Lu Bu’s army.

"My lord, I wonder if Zilong will let go of this only chance to come back alive?"

After hearing Pang Tong's words, Liu Bei fell silent.

He certainly knew that Zilong was extremely loyal and righteous.

But if in this situation where he is bound to die, give him a little hope of coming back alive.

According to Zilong's character, he will definitely try hard to get it.

But Lu Bu's strength is obvious to all.

Since the opponent was able to kill his third brother, it would be extremely difficult for Zilong to defeat him!

And once he loses, Zilong will most likely do what he says, which is also in line with his character...

Liu Bei suddenly showed a depressed expression:
"In other words, will Zilong be our enemy in the future?"

As soon as these words were spoken, even Guan Yu behind him had an expression that became extremely ugly.

However, Pang Tong shook his head slightly:

"Not for now... After all, Lu Bu is not a fool.

“If we let Zilong face us now, it will be impossible to complete any mission.

“But…it’s hard to say in the future.

"After all, feelings will fade with time and distance."

After Pang Tong finished speaking, the entire tent fell silent.

Seeing that no one was talking, Pang Tong turned to look at Zhuge Liang who was still in deep thought, frowned and stepped forward and said:
"You've just been defeated by a formation, and even you're devastated. What's the point of us fighting?"

Zhuge Liang suddenly came to his senses and looked up at Pang Tong.

The feather fan, which had not been shaking for a long time, finally started shaking again.

Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly:
"I didn't lose heart, I was just thinking about how the enemy could break my Eight Diagrams.

"What is the origin of the person who can see through my formation and fake gate?"

Zhuge Liang searched his memories of his previous life for a long time, but could not think of anyone who could break his Eight Diagrams Formation.

Even a genius like Lu Xun, who entered his Stone Gate Eight Formations, could not get out on his own.

With just the four counselors Zhou Yu, Chen Gong, Xun You and Liu Ye, they would not have come up with such a heaven-defying idea.

Could it be... Sima Yi?

This is his biggest rival in his previous life?

But Sima Yi should be only seventeen years old now. He is so young, so he shouldn’t have any extraordinary abilities, right?

Sima Yi's greatest strength is the rich experience accumulated over his long life.

Now he is just a young man, it is impossible for him to have such ability...

Zhuge Liang then pushed the timeline forward and put the blame on the strategist he had never fought against.

Suddenly, a name flashed through his mind!
That person happened to die in the year when he came out of seclusion in his previous life.

It is for this reason that many people in the past said that if that person didn't die, Wolong would not dare to leave the mountain...

He had never fought with that man, but he had heard of the other person's name when he was in seclusion in Wolonggang.

It is known that the other party had helped Cao Cao defeat Lu Bu, seize Jizhou, pacify the north, and attack Wuhuan in the north... but in the end, he was envied by God and died young.

That is the man known as the "genius" - Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao!
Cao Cao's number one strategist in his previous life! If the other party saw through his Eight Diagrams, it wouldn't be too surprising...

This person's talent should not be inferior to his previous self.

Moreover, he had never fought with the other party before, so he couldn't be sure that the other party didn't know the art of escape...

But no one expected that the genius who was loyal to Cao Cao in his previous life would actually serve under Lu Bu in this life.

If he helped, together with top strategists like Zhou Yu and Lu Bu, a man from later generations.

Then in terms of wisdom and strategy, he may not be inferior to his reborn self.

Sure enough, even if he was reborn, God still wouldn't let him fulfill his wish so easily...

Zhuge Liang quickly calmed down and helped Liu Bei, who was still sitting on the ground, up:
"My lord, don't be sad. Zilong will be safe on this trip.

“If he had been killed, I would have seen the general fall when I observed the sky last night.

“But there was nothing unusual in the stars last night, so Zilong was most likely forced to join Lu Bu as Shi Yuan said.

"Even so, my lord, don't be sad. When our army captures an important enemy general in the future, we can exchange him for Zilong."

Zhuge Liang lived up to his reputation of having lived two lives, and he understood his master's temperament very well.

With just a few words, Liu Bei was comforted.

Liu Bei also suddenly felt less sad, so he asked Zhuge Liang:

"Now that the military formation has been broken, how should our army act?"

Zhuge Liang twirled his fingers and said in a muffled voice:
"The Eight Formations Diagram being broken was beyond my expectation.

“I originally wanted to capture important enemy generals through the Eight Diagrams in exchange for Xinyang City.

"Since this plan has failed and the enemy's elite troops have been exhausted, we can only follow your majesty's order and retreat for the time being."

When Liu Bei heard that Zhuge Liang actually proposed to evacuate, a trace of unwillingness appeared in his eyes:
"But in this case, won't we have any chance of capturing the enemy general and bringing back Zilong?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly:
"There is still a chance. If our army withdraws, we can deliberately leave some weapons and supplies on the road.

"If we build a storage point for supplies on the border between Runan and Pei, the enemy will most likely come to attack.

“At that time, we can ambush a group of elite soldiers nearby, and when the enemy comes to fight, we will attack them and we will surely win a great victory!

“Moreover…if we deploy our hidden army, even if the enemy has a trap formation, they will definitely suffer a great loss!

"Capturing the enemy generals is not a problem. The problem is whether the enemy will send out important generals..."

I heard that the young military advisor already had a plan.

Liu Bei was well aware that he had the strength to contend with Lu Bu's army, all thanks to this military advisor.

Naturally, they also obeyed the other party's orders:
"Well...then let's follow the military advisor's advice and have the entire army withdraw."

As Liu Bei's order was issued, the entire camp began to prepare to evacuate.

Lu Bu and others on the city wall naturally saw all of this.

Chen Gong immediately made a suggestion:

“It looks like the enemy is planning to withdraw.

"If you lead your army to attack at this time, you will surely cause chaos in the enemy army and kill countless enemies!"

Xun You on the side also nodded in agreement:

"I second the motion."

Lu Bu glanced at Guo Jia and found that the other party did not express his opinion, and seemed to tacitly agree to their proposal.

After two seconds of hesitation, Lu Bu shook his head and rejected the idea:
“If it’s someone else’s army, we can naturally take the opportunity to pursue them.

“But Zhuge Liang is full of tricks, and pursuing the army with him will inevitably lead to an ambush.

"So we don't have to chase them, just watch them retreat."

Seeing what Lu Bu said, Chen Gong and the other two had no choice but to give up.

However, there was a hint of smile in Guo Jia's eyes...
