I was kicked out by Sun Quan, and I turned to Cao thief

Chapter 352 Zhuge Liang panicked

On Xinye City.

As Huo Jun, Lu Gong, and Lu Wang fled, Cai Mao's army on the city wall was leaderless.

Soon, Liu Bei led the reinforcements and recaptured Xinye County.

The soldiers and horses sent by Cai Mao were dead and wounded.

The casualties were very serious.

On the city wall, Zhuge Liang was interrogating several prisoners.

However, as the interrogation continued, Zhuge Liang's face became increasingly ugly.

Even Zhuge Liang did not expect that it was not Su Ming who attacked them, but Cai Mao.

Cai Mao actually led the army to arrive at this time, and attacked them first.

In terms of strength, Cai Mao is far behind Su Ming.

However, the meaning is completely different!

If Su Ming attacks them, even though Liu Biao will not send troops to help, they are still nominally Liu Biao's subordinates and are still on the same front as Liu Biao.

But now, Cai Mao sent troops to attack them, which meant that Liu Biao was already angry because they violated Liu Biao's wishes.

Now, Liu Biao has also become their opponent, and they are being attacked from both sides.

Zhuge Liang told Liu Bei the key point. After hearing this, Liu Bei's face suddenly became gloomy.

Liu Bei was really panicked. He only had a small Xinye County now.

Now that they are facing enemies, Su Ming in the front and Liu Biao in the back are all great princes with tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of troops!
He is now like a skinny sheep, encountering a tiger in front and a hungry wolf behind.

"Shouldn't be!"

"We just detained the eldest young master during the day, even if this matter spreads and irritates Liu Jingsheng."

"After all this time, plus the time to dispatch troops and generals, it is impossible to arrive tonight!" Zhuge Liang muttered.

Zhuge Liang deceived Liu Qi today and did not follow Liu Biao's order to hand over the people Su Ming wanted.

At that time, he had already thought that when Liu Biao became angry, he might send troops to attack them.

He thought that this day would come, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Originally, in Zhuge Liang's plan, Zhao Yun only took Zhuge Jun to Jiangdong first and persuaded Sun Quan to send troops.

As soon as Sun Quan sent troops, Liu Biao saw the hope of taking back Jiangxia and defeating Su Ming.

At that time, even though Liu Biao was a defensive leader, he couldn't help but take back Jiangxia and complete the opportunity to complete the nine counties of Jingxiang.

By that time, even if Cai Mao and other local Jingzhou families object, Liu Biao will definitely support them fully.

However, they never expected that Cai Mao's troops would arrive so quickly.

Now, Sun Quan has not yet sent troops, and Cai Mao has arrived first. So, Zhuge Liang's plan has failed!

Cai Mao's army arrived first, which meant that someone on Su Ming's side had predicted Zhuge Liang's movements and therefore made preparations in advance.

"Su Ming, Su Ming has received guidance from an expert!" Zhuge Liang said with a heavy sigh.

"Military advisor, what should we do next?" Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang with a worried look on his face.

Zhuge Liang was deep in thought, seeming to be thinking about how to break the situation.

At this time, Zhang Fei came over excitedly holding Lu Gong's head in his left hand and Lu Wang's head in his right hand.

"Brother, military advisor, look!"

"I killed two enemy generals!" As he spoke, Zhang Fei raised two heads and said happily.

Seeing these two heads, Liu Bei's eyes darkened and he almost fainted.If Su Ming sent people to attack, Zhang Fei would kill two of Su Ming's generals, which would be a great achievement.

However, it is Cai Mao who attacks them now!

Lu Gong, Lu Wang, these are Cai Mao's confidants.

Now, these two people have been beheaded by Zhang Fei, and there is no room for reconciliation between them and Cai Mao.

What Zhang Fei killed were not the two generals of the enemy army, but their retreat!
"Military advisor, what should we do?" Liu Bei almost cried when he saw these two heads.

Zhuge Liang thought to himself, you ask me?Who am I to ask?

Isn't this all the fault of your third brother?
First, he made a mistake after drinking, and lost the city wall while drinking.

Now he chased down the city and killed two generals, Cai Mao.

The more Zhuge Liang thought about it, the angrier he became. He thought, I don't think of a solution now. I have to engage in military law first to relieve Zhang Yide's anger.

Zhang Fei really made Zhuge Liang very angry this time. This Zhang Yide refused to change despite repeated admonitions and violated military discipline many times.

For him, the military discipline of prohibiting drinking in the army was in vain.

Usually there is no war in Xinye County. For Liu Bei's sake, Zhuge Liang just turned a blind eye.

Now, the army is pressing down on the border, and the enemy troops below the city are several times his own. Under such circumstances, Zhang Fei dared to drink in the army.

If Zhang Fei is not punished, wouldn't military law and military discipline become child's play?
"Come on, get Zhang Yide for me!"

"Drag him out and behead him!" Zhuge Liang ordered.

Zhuge Liang gave the order, and several swordsmen rushed forward and directly held Zhang Fei down.

In front of his elder brother, Zhang Fei did not dare to resist and allowed these swordsmen to hold him.

Although he did not resist, Zhang Fei kept shouting: "Military advisor, I killed two enemy generals, why did you kill me!"

"I have done something good, why are you punishing me?"

Zhang Fei only mentioned his meritorious service at this time, and did not mention that it was because of him that Xinye County was almost embarrassed.

"Humph!"

"If it weren't for your drinking, it would be difficult for the enemy to get close to the city wall, and you still have the face to shout!"

"Come here, take him out and kill him!" Zhuge Liang ordered with a cold face and a very serious tone.

Seeing that the military advisor was really angry, Guan Yu quickly stepped forward and begged for mercy: "Military advisor, although my third brother drank and made trouble, he also killed two enemy generals."

"I'm saying that Xinye County has not been lost, so the merits and demerits are simply equal to each other!"

Guan Yu was injured in his left arm by Lu Wang with an arrow. Although the arrow was pulled out now, the left arm is still wrapped in a bandage.

Guan Yu really made a contribution today, if he hadn't led the five hundred school swordsmen to arrive first, delaying the most critical moment.

Maybe, Xinye County will really be lost today.

"Yun Chang, don't plead for him." Zhuge Liang glanced at Guan Yu and said coldly: "Gong?"

"Where did he get the gong from!"

"It is Cai Hao who is attacking the city this time. If he, Zhang Yide, had not drank today, had not let people attack the city wall, and had not expanded his occupation, we and Cai Hao would still have room to maneuver."

"The battle was so fierce today. Cai Mao lost tens of thousands of troops and horses, and he killed two generals, Lu Gong and Lu Wang."

"Now, Cai Mao hates us to the core, and the next attack will definitely be more violent."

"Just because of Zhang Yide, our Xinye County was attacked from both sides. How can he still get credit? What credit does he have?"

"His contribution is to destroy the lord's future hegemony in one fell swoop!"
