He had to.

Only in this way can they deceive the three of Cao Ren.

Fortunately, the strategist's strategy was successful, and they escaped safely.

Liu Bei turned his head and glanced behind him, but did not see Cao Jun.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he raised his hand and said:

"Send the order, the army is three points faster."

Order issued.

Liu Jun turned into a torrent and went straight to the east.

Gangneung City.

Zhou Yu received the news immediately, and then quickly took Lu Meng to the city wall, frowning and looking into the distance.

In the horizon, one could vaguely see Liu Bei's army rising into the dust.

Zhou Yu frowned and said incomprehensibly, "Why did Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang suddenly return to Jiangxia instead of leading troops back to Jiangxia~~?"

"Could it be that Liu Bei regretted it and wanted to retake Jiangling?" Lu Meng said beside Zhou Yu.

"Definitely not."

Zhou Yu shook his head, "Since Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang have left, they won't do anything to return. Besides, they are not stupid. Now that there are more than [-] troops in Jiangling City, even if they want to come back, do they have the ability?"

"Yeah." Lu Meng nodded, secretly saying the same.

Liu Bei's remnant army would not be able to enter Jiangling City at all.

"The Governor, what should we do with Liu Bei's army outside the city?" Lu Meng asked.

"Just wait and see what happens." Zhou Yu said lightly.

then.

The two stood on the city wall, watching Liu Bei's army appear outside Jiangling City, and then left without stopping at all.

Zhou Yu originally planned to talk to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, but seeing this, he could only dispel such thoughts.

But he was even more suspicious.

"Looking at Liu Jun's army formation, it seems that the strength of the troops has been damaged a lot, and they are marching in such a hurry, are they being chased by Cao Jun?"

Zhou Yu guessed.

"But I didn't find any trace of Cao Jun behind them."

Lu Meng raised his eyes to look into the distance, and after withdrawing his gaze, he couldn't help but say.

"This is strange." Zhou Yu looked puzzled.

"Well, Ziming, send some scouts out of the city to the west to find out what's going on."

Zhou Yu asked worriedly.

"No." Lu Meng cupped his hands, and immediately went down to make arrangements.

However, Zhou Yu's heart was always uneasy.

……

It was another day of rushing, and in the evening, Liu Jun was already thirty miles away from Jiangling City. Even the iron body couldn't stand it for such a long and hasty march.

Many soldiers were so tired that they didn't even have the strength to speak, they were all sweaty and numb.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang said: "My lord, Cao Jun should not be chasing after him. Let the army rest for a while."

"Alright."

Liu Bei nodded.

After riding a horse all day, he felt very sore, and he could naturally feel how tired those soldiers were.

When the order was given, the army rested in place.

After recovering some stamina, continue on the road.

When the order was issued, all the people couldn't hold it any longer, and fell directly towards the ground, all laying down and not wanting to move.

In response, Liu Bei could only shake his head.

There is no Cao army nearby, so let these soldiers have a good rest.

After taking off the water bag and taking a gulp of water, Liu Bei pointed to the road ahead and said, "Master, what should we do next?"

Zhuge Liang stood at the intersection, frowning and said: "These roads can all lead to Wulin Port, the road on the left is the main road for the army to march. If our army takes this road, it will only take one day. You can reach Ulin Port."

"It's natural to choose this route." Zhang Fei stood aside and said carelessly, "That is to say, we can cross the river by boat tomorrow night, and within five days, we will be able to reach Jiangxia."

Liu Bei was also shocked.

Can he not be excited to finally be able to return to Jiangxia!

"No!"

However, Zhuge Liang shook his head directly, shook his feather fan gently and said, "We must not go this way."

"what!"

Not only Zhang Fei, but also Liu Bei.

"Master, if we don't go this way, where else can we go?" Zhang Fei couldn't bear his temper, and asked Zhuge Liang in a loud voice.

Zhuge Liang frowned, Zhang Fei's voice was so loud that his ears were buzzing.

Glancing at Zhang Fei helplessly, Zhuge Liang pointed to a few paths beside him.

"These small roads are narrow and rugged. If we take these roads, we can reach Wulin Port in about half a day."

Zhuge Liang said.

"What? Sergeant, don't you want us to take this path?" Zhang Fei's eyes widened, looking at Zhuge Liang in disbelief.

Liu Bei, who was beside him, was also quite frightened. At first glance, these roads were overgrown with weeds and were no more than three feet wide. At most, one or two people could walk side by side.

As long as you are a normal person, you would not choose to take such a path, right?

However, he knew that Zhuge Liang was not a rash person, so he did not rush to ask.

"good."

Zhuge nodded brightly and responded.

Immediately, Zhang Fei couldn't sit still, and looked at Zhuge Liang like an idiot: "Master, I don't understand, this is a good road, why should I take this road."

"Isn't this a waste of time? Half a day is a lot of time. If Cao Jun comes after him and takes the road to Wulin Port to intercept our army, wouldn't our suffering for the past few days be in vain?"

When Liu Bei heard this, he glanced at Zhang Fei in surprise.

I didn't expect that my third brother would be a little quick-witted.

"'The third brother is right, Sergeant, this path is difficult to walk, if Cao Jun rushes to Wulin to intercept it, then how should we deal with it?"

Liu Bei couldn't help but ask.

"My lord is worrying too much." Zhuge Liang shook his head, with a confident smile on his face, shaking his feather fan lightly, "I have my own way to deal with Cao Ren's army."

"How?" Liu Bei asked.

"You only need to send a strange soldier to set up a suspicious formation on the road, which is enough to stop Cao's army for half a day." Zhuge Liang smiled.

Liu Bei nodded, but still looked at Zhuge Liang in puzzlement: "But you still haven't said, why do you want to take these paths?"

"And these paths meander and go in different directions. Which one do we take?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and glanced at everyone. Except for Pang Tong, everyone showed curiosity and listened carefully.

He enjoyed the feeling of strategizing.

When even explained: "Master, think about it, if you are Cao Ren, which way do you think we will take?"

"Naturally, we will take the road on the left. After all, our army has been on the road again and again, and we are in a hurry to get back to Jiangxia. Naturally, we don't want to take the path and delay time..."

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he was stunned, and then his eyes became brighter.

Yes.

Since Cao Jun thought they would take the road, would they set up an ambush on the road ahead of time?

With Nasu's ability to sacrifice wine, plus Cao Jun's siege and interception along the way, he must have planned everything long ago.

 (King Nuo's) To say that the other party didn't take this into consideration, he wouldn't believe it.

So if they continue to go east, they will be ambushed.

It's just that this ambush is either on the big road on the left or on these small roads on the right.

What Liu Bei has to do now is to gamble.

Bet against the opponent's ambush.

And he felt that the odds of winning the bet were great.

Because according to common sense, they have no reason to choose to take these paths, what's more, there are three paths in front of him, he still doesn't believe that Nasu Jijiu can predict which path they will take in advance.

Thinking of it this way, although it takes half a day to walk on the path, it is safer.

After understanding this, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face again.

"The military advisor, which of the three paths should we take?"

Liu Bei asked.

Zhuge Liang chuckled and pointed at the most common one among them: "This road is called Huarong Road, compared with the other two, it is not the best, nor the most rugged, it is unremarkable and the most common. "

"This is the way we are going!"

"That Su Jijiu always likes to take risks. Even if he guesses that we will take a small road, he will never set up an ambush on Huarong Road."

"So we go here, it must be safe!"

Zhuge Liang said confidently.
