Under the cover of the night, three thousand horses set out from Xinye and ran all the way to the east. After reaching a valley, all three thousand horses stopped. It didn’t take long for a brightly-branded Liu Rui soldier. The horse ran out again.

At this time, Cao Shuo also sent a messenger back to Xinye to inform Cao Cao of the situation on his side. After receiving the news that Cao Shuo had changed into Liu Rui's uniform, Cao Cao was excited to find Jia Xu. There was another long conversation, and Cao Cao dragged Jia Xu to drink.

After being reminded by Zhou Yu, Pang Tong and others, Liu Bei and Sun Ce also saw Cao Cao's strangeness, but Cao Cao didn't want to say it, so they naturally didn't ask more.To know this, even Xi Zhicai didn't know the details, but Lu Bu didn't think too much about it, he just found Cao Cao and asked Cao Cao to give an explanation. They finally united, and Cao Cao naturally would not provoke Lü Bu again, and now he reassured him that if the plan was successful, Lü Bu would be let out.

Of course, Liu Rui didn't know about the careful thinking among the princes, but now that Liu Rui's troops have recovered to a certain degree of combat power, the uprising army is taking advantage of the current opportunity to continuously conquer the surrounding cities.Next, we need to face the many problems of Xinye Castle.

At this moment, Liu Rui reconvened many advisors and generals to discuss the issue of attacking Xinye this time.

"Everyone, now our troops and horses have recovered a lot. If we don't delay to attack Xinye, I am afraid that Cao Cao, Liu Bei and other princes' troops and horses will also recover in time. This Xinye City has been built by the princes. After recovering, it will be even more difficult for us to conquer it!" Liu Rui looked at everyone in the field, and then said.Xiaoshuowa novel network www.xiaoshuowa.com

"What the lord said is very true, Xinye City has high walls and thick walls. Although Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others have lost a lot of troops and horses, they still retain a certain amount of combat power. "Zhao Yun on the side said.

Zhao Yun's words also caused all the generals present to nod frequently, and Li Cunxiao, who was on the side, also stood up and said, "My lord, please send troops. The last general is willing to be the forward and take down this Xinye City for the lord!"

Xiang Yu also stood up and said with a smile: "General Cunxiao, why don't we two take charge of a city wall and see who will attack first?"

How could Li Cunxiao disagree, when even he said, "Okay! But just the two of us is not enough. Would Ruohai and Rengui join in?"

The two said this, but Zhao Yun next to him was anxious: "Several, you forgot me!"

It's just that Zhao Yun's voice just fell, and Liu Rui, Li Cunxiao, Xiang Yu, and others next to him said in unison, "Zilong, you should recover now!"

Zhao Yun was stunned and looked at the crowd helplessly.He chased and killed Cao Cao a few days ago, but he killed seven in and seven out of the army. However, Zhao Yun's injury was not serious, but he lost his strength and still has some sequelae.

After excluding Zhao Yun, the remaining generals began to fight, and Liu Rui also had some headaches.He is not worried about these generals, but feels sad for the princes of Xinye City...

It's just that the faces of many generals on this side are red-faced, while Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang, Mei Changsu and others on the other side are all smiling and silent. Seeing Guo Jia, Liu Rui said with a smile: "Fengxiao, you have been silent. , do you think that what the generals said is wrong?"

Guo Jia nodded, then looked at Li Cunxiao, Xiang Yu and the others who were arguing, and said with a smile: "Generals, don't argue! We don't need to attack this Xinye City!"

Hearing Guo Jia's words, all the generals stopped and looked at Guo Jia helplessly.They quarreled here, but now Guo Jia said there was no need to attack Xinye, which made all the generals puzzled.

"Fengxiao don't betray you, let's talk!" Liu Rui also said with a smile, paused, and then asked again, "Could it be that Fengxiao said that the princes are going to retreat from Xinye?"

Guo Jia nodded, then looked at the people present, and said sternly: "In the last war, half of the troops of the princes were lost, and the advantage of our troops that was originally there is now gone. Our uprising army has even attacked the surrounding cities, and now Xinye has become an isolated city, if the princes continue to hold on, I am afraid there will only be a dead end!"

"There is no point in holding on to it, so this time the princes will definitely retreat! And if the princes retreat in Xinye City too late, when our army is besieging the city, I am afraid that he will not be able to leave even if he wants to leave, so the princes not only have to retreat , we have to retreat while our army has no combat strength and has not fully recovered!" Guo Jia's words made everyone present silently nod.

Liu Rui also nodded and smiled: "So, Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others will probably retreat in the near future!"

"Master Mingjian, the four princes, I am afraid that they are already preparing for the withdrawal of troops, but how to withdraw at that time, we still need to observe carefully!" Guo Jia looked at the many generals present and said with a smile. : "You don't have to be impatient, generals. When the princes withdraw from Xinye City, it is time for us to attack." , . . .

739: Changsu is suspicious

Guo Jia's words made many generals present even more excited.They were fighting to attack Xinye before, but they didn't really like to attack by force. It was because these generals knew the danger and cruelty of a force attack that they thought of taking the most difficult task into their own hands.

It is precisely for this reason that in Liu Rui's army, those small tasks are often ignored on weekdays and need to be personally assigned by Liu Rui or Guo Jia.And this kind of arduous task usually leads to competition among generals.Liu Rui is also used to this kind of thing. At the same time, Liu Rui is also proud of his cohesion in the army.This alone is incomparable among the princes.

For example, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others, when faced with difficult tasks, are unwilling to go to the front unless it is a last resort. After all, if one of the princes loses too much, there is a risk of being annexed by others.

Therefore, something like what happened under Liu Rui would never happen on the side of the princes.And the cohesion of Liu Rui's subordinates can also allow Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang, Mei Changsu and others to better exert their brain power.

For example, when Guo Jia was talking at the moment, all the generals listened quietly, and few people would interrupt, even if they spoke, they were all related to the matter.

"Master, if Liu Bei and Cao Cao are going to retreat, what should we do?" Xiang Yu asked.

Guo Jia nodded, and then smiled: "The surrounding area is already our territory. If the princes want to retreat, there is no way to escape our surveillance. No matter how they retreat, our troops will be It occupies an absolute advantage, but among these princes, there will be a difference between leaving first and then leaving, and we will only know about this kind of thing after they come out of Xinye!"

"Fengxiao, that means we can't prepare yet?" Liu Rui asked with some doubts: "Could it be that Fengxiao wants to keep the same and respond to all changes?"

Guo Jia shook his head, then smiled and said: "My lord, we must not only prepare, but also do everything we can. At that time, both the uprising army and the troops of the headquarters will need to participate in the battle. Since the princes want to retreat, they will definitely be in the future. Divide our troops, at that time, we need to make a choice!"

Liu Rui nodded, and then said with a smile: "Okay! Since this matter was brought up by you, Feng Xiao, then you will be fully responsible for this matter, but the most urgent task is to determine the timing for the princes to retreat. At that time, if we have an omission, it will be more difficult to catch up."

Everyone nodded, and Guo Jia also said, "Don't worry, my lord, I have asked Changsu to set up countless scouts to visit the horses outside Xinye City. If the princes want to leave, we will get the news in advance!"

Then Liu Rui nodded reassuringly, and when he heard Guo Jia mention Mei Changsu, he looked over, but Mei Changsu seemed to be still in a trance. Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao on the side saw Liu Rui looking at Mei Changsu, And Mei Changsu was in a trance without realizing it, and he took two steps forward, wanting to wake up Mei Changsu.

However, Liu Rui and Guo Jia hurriedly waved their hands to stop it, which also made Li Cunxiao and Xiang Yu look over with some doubts.

"Absolutely not, Chang Su should be calculating things in his mind, don't disturb him!" Liu Rui said in a low voice.

Li Cunxiao and Xiang Yu nodded, and everyone lowered their voices to discuss Guo Jia's strategy again.Only this time, everyone was a little absent-minded. Every once in a while, they couldn't help but glance at Mei Changsu, wanting to know what Mei Changsu was thinking.

When everyone was about to finish their discussion, Liu Ruicai shook his head slightly, and was about to let everyone go, but saw Mei Changsu suddenly wake up.Lazy people listen to the book www.lanren9.com

This scene made Liu Rui's heart pound for a while, and he couldn't help asking: "Changsu, what's wrong? But what's the big deal?"

"My lord, the rebel army is in danger!" Mei Changsu's words immediately surprised everyone present.

"Don't worry, Changsu, tell this matter carefully!" Liu Rui naturally trusts Mei Changsu very much. Moreover, now that Mei Changsu is in charge of all the intelligence, if there is a mistake in the intelligence judgment, it will be true at that time. It's going to be a disaster.

Hearing Liu Rui's words, Mei Changsu also realized his gaffe, but he didn't care, and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, before I came, I just received a message from the scout in front of me, saying It was Xinye City that dispatched a grain transport team of about [-] people. The original news was that it was quite normal. The subordinates also planned to let General Huo Qubing loot when the prince's grain transport team returned. The words of Fengxiao just now made me realize that something was wrong!"

Hearing Mei Changsu's words, Liu Rui also nodded his head and said, "According to Fengxiao's words, the princes will definitely prepare to retreat. It is indeed doubtful to send grain and troops at this time, but how could this matter be reconciled? The rebel army is in touch? Maybe the princes are preparing to transport food and grass halfway, which can be used during the retreat!"

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "My lord, I'm afraid there must be something strange about this matter. Let's listen to Chang Su first, and then we'll decide if it's correct!"

Liu Rui also nodded and looked at Mei Changsu again, and Mei Changsu was also sorting out the information in his heart, and even opened his mouth and said: "My lord, the reason why this subordinate suspects this team of food transportation is because There are too many cavalry and carriages in this grain transport team. If it is converted, it seems that there is just one person riding one, that is to say, if this pile of grain soldiers throws away the grain cart, they can immediately become a team of cavalry! "

Mei Changsu's words made everyone present look serious. As Mei Changsu said, if Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others wanted to retreat, how could they send food and grass soldiers, and how could they let these food soldiers be transported? Bring so many horses.

And Mei Changsu's next sentence caused everyone's expressions to change slightly.

"My lord, this team of food and grass soldiers marched very fast. At first, our scouts thought that the other party was afraid of being attacked, so they just followed not far or near, but after following to a valley, they completely lost the other party. The trace!" Mei Changsu's words caused Liu Rui's expression to change slightly.

In this war, there are many strategies that were launched without any warning in the early stage.Just like Jia Xu's poisonous plan in Nanyang, at the beginning, the ten troops sent by Jia Xu just pretended to be reinforcements and stationed quietly, but when Liu Rui's army was dispatched, Jia Xu However, these men and horses quickly gathered together and committed a heinous crime in Nanyang.
