Three Kingdoms: the Search for a Saint Starts from Mistaking Cao Cao As His Father-in-law

When the generals took orders, they had to divide their troops and leave.

At this time.

Wen Pin's eyes suddenly became suspicious, and he pointed with a long knife: "My lord, something is wrong. Among the people who escaped, they are all common people, why can't you see half of Cao Jun's shadow?"

Liu Bei's heart was shocked, and he was reminded that he was anxious to take a closer look.

Sure enough, among the survivors who fled, half of Cao Jun's shadow could not be seen at all.

"Could it be that Cao Thief led his army to flee from another door?"

Liu Bei guessed.

"That's not right either."

Wen Pin shook his head and said, "Our fire attack suddenly, Cao's army will be in chaos, and it should be separated from each of the four gates. Cao thief will never have the opportunity to lead the army to escape from a single gate."

Liu Bei's eyes became more and more suspicious, and he couldn't help but look at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang's sword eyebrows condensed slightly, and the feather fan swayed slowly.

"Is it possible that Cao Thief saw through my plan to set fire to Xinye?"

This thought suddenly popped into Zhuge Liang's mind.

Sudden.

A scout rushed over and shouted, "Report to your lord, the main force of Cao's army has already withdrawn from the north gate in advance before our army can attack the city!"

This news was like a thunder in the night sky.

Everyone present was shocked, and their faces changed color.

Even Zhuge Liang, the corners of his eyebrows twitched, and the feather fan in his hand suddenly clenched.

"how can that be!"

"Cao Thief obviously has a plan, and the whole army is stationed in Xinye, how could he suddenly evacuate in advance?"

Liu Bei was so excited that he screamed, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Could it be that Cao Thief saw through our intentions?"

"But it's not such a coincidence that just before we launched the fire attack, we took the lead to withdraw from Xinye, this, this..."

Wen Ping was also confused and shocked, and he was incoherent.

The Jingzhou army went up and down and fell into a state of shock.

"Master Kong Ming, what the hell is going on?"

Liu Bei anxiously looked at Zhuge Liang, looking for an answer.

Zhuge Liang's feather fan shook slightly, pondering silently.

After a long time.

He frowned and said solemnly: "There are very few people in the world who can see through this plan. Liang guessed that this is probably Su Yi's handwriting."

"Su Yi?"

Liu Bei's face changed again, and he asked in shock, "The counselor is saying that it was Su Yi who saw through the counselor's trick and alerted Cao Cao at the critical moment to save his life?"

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly: "Besides this person, Liang can't think of anyone else who can figure out this plan."

Su Yi!

This name roared in the ears of the generals, making them all fearful, and they were all shocked.

"Su Yi—"

Liu Bei gritted his teeth, his face twisted with deep shame and anger.

Just a moment ago, he confidently believed that Zhuge Liang's ingenuity was better than Su Yi, and he was the real sage in the world.

Who would have thought, in the blink of an eye, he was slapped in the face by the cruel reality.

"The fire attack failed, Cao Cao's troops and horses are intact, maybe they will be killed in a blink of an eye, lord, what should we do?"

Wen Pin calmed down a little and asked anxiously.

Liu Bei shuddered and looked at Zhuge Liang anxiously.

Zhuge Liang sighed: "This plan failed. With our five thousand troops, we are no longer able to defeat Cao's thieves. My lord, hurry up and retreat to Fancheng."

Liu Bei's eyes were full of unwillingness.

He paid for a Xinye city, burned thousands of people to death, and gave up a notorious reputation of disregarding the lives of the people, but in the end, not even a single Cao army was burned to death.

Liu Bei held back his fire, and naturally felt unwilling.

"The lord is someone who wants to achieve great things. How can you care about temporary gains and losses. If there is light, sooner or later we will have a chance to kill Cao thief."

Zhuge Liang's face rekindled his confidence, and he comforted him with disapproval.

Liu Bei sighed and waved his hands weakly: "The order goes on, the whole army should retreat to Fancheng immediately."

When the order was passed, the five thousand Jingzhou troops immediately put away their bows and crossbows, extinguished their torches, and hurriedly retreated south.
