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

Su Yi added.

Cao Ang hurriedly said: "Everything depends on Brother Su, you have the final say."

Su Yi was relieved.

At the moment, under the protection of Xu Chu, Su Yi followed Cao Ang down low-key south to Wancheng.

...

Xiangyang.

State capital, main hall.

"As expected by Kong Ming, Cao Cao retreated from Wancheng and did not attack Fancheng again."

Liu Bei raised his hand to make a secret report and smiled at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said, "Cao Cao made a long-distance attack from Yecheng, and he failed to kill us by surprise. The opportunity has been lost, and it is already at the end of the bow. It is also expected that the troops will retreat."

Liu Bei nodded slightly and couldn't help but sigh in relief.

"Brother, then what are we waiting for, let me lead the army to kill and take Xinye back!"

Zhang Fei shouted excitedly.

"Yide, don't be impatient, and listen to what Kong Ming has to say."

Liu Bei reprimanded softly and looked at Zhuge Liang.

"Xinye is guarded by Cao Hong and Zhang Liao, and there are [-] elite soldiers. Even if our army is going to attack, it will not be able to attack in an instant."

"When Cao Cao heard the news, he would definitely lead a large army to rescue him. Our army could only return without success, only consuming food and grass."

"Now, it's not the time to retake Xinye."

Zhuge Liang said a few words and rejected Zhang Fei's request.

Zhang Fei was displeased and asked back: "Then Xinye is only a hundred miles away from Fancheng, why don't we want it?"

"Of course, we must not only recover Xinye, but also lead the Northern Expedition to welcome the Son of Heaven!"

Zhuge Liang said decisively.

Zhang Fei was confused.

"Yide, Cao Cao has destroyed Yuan Shao, unified the two rivers, and the strength is far superior to us."

"With our corner of Jingzhou, it is naturally impossible to fight against Cao Cao and restore the Han Dynasty."

"So, the military division Kong Ming has asked the military division Shiyuan to go to Jiangdong, and make an alliance with the little overlord Sun Ce, agreeing that my two armies will be on the northern expedition at the same time."

"Jieshi, our army is attacking Wancheng, Jiangdong army is attacking Shouchun, and the two are advancing side by side. Cao thieves can't take care of each other, so we have a chance to win!"

"That's why Kong Ming told you to wait."

Liu Bei eloquently explained Zhuge Liang's strategy.

Zhang Fei suddenly realized, and couldn't help but admire: "It's still Kong Ming's brilliant military advisor, I finally understand."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said again: "But even if Cao thief retreats, we must guard against it. The important town of Fancheng on the north bank must be guarded by generals and heavy troops."

"Brother, I'm going to guard Fancheng!"

Zhang Fei asked Ying immediately.

Liu Bei's eyes were hesitant.

Fancheng is the gate of Xiangyang, and naturally it must be guarded by the most trusted generals. Zhang Fei is the most suitable candidate.

However, considering Zhang Fei's irritable temperament and the precedent of losing Xiapi in Xuzhou, Liu Bei could not help but feel apprehensive.

"General Yide is a famous general in the world, and with Wen He's assistance, we will be sure to be safe."

Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei's thoughts, and Yu Fan pointed at Jia Xu.

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, thinking that with Jia Xu's wisdom, if he could assist Zhang Fei, it would be foolproof.

"Wenhe, then I'll trouble you to remind Yide Cai."

Liu Bei smiled and looked at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, my lord, this old man will do his best to assist General Zhang and guard Fancheng without losing it."

Liu Bei was relieved, so he ordered Zhang Fei to lead [-] elite soldiers to guard Fancheng.

After the official discussion was over, Liu Bei remembered a private matter.

"Kong Ming, I heard that you are going to marry the daughter of Duke Huang as your wife. How are you preparing for the wedding?"

Liu Bei asked with concern. . . . . .

Zhuge Liang was startled, but sighed: "Liang has been around the lord recently, and I haven't had time to prepare for this wedding."

Liu Bei said happily: "Since that's the case, you will be handed over to me to handle your wedding, military advisor. I will call you Fengguangguangguang and marry the Huang family."

"This..."

Zhuge Liang was flattered: "It's really inappropriate to trouble the lord for Liang's private affairs."
