Liu Bei accepted Liu Jue's proposal and led the people of Xinye to retreat to Chaoyang City, and then stationed outside the city.

In the camp tent, Liu Bei sat on the main seat, and on his left and right, there were Xu Shu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Mi Zhu and others, and it can be said that his team is here.

In the past few days, Liu Bei has not been idle, and he has to send people to inquire about the situation in Xinye every day.

In case Liu Jue couldn't resist Cao Ren, Liu Bei felt that he could also be prepared and retreat to Fancheng in the south in time.

Unexpectedly, just today, his spies came with a shocking news.

Cao Ren's army of 30,000 was defeated by Liu Jue.

After hearing the news, Liu Bei's heart was shocked, and it was impossible to describe it in words.

Cao Ren is a general under Cao Cao, not a straw bag general.

Back then, Liu Bei was under Yuan Shao's account, and he personally learned Cao Ren's power, knowing that this was a brave and resourceful figure.

I didn't expect such a famous general to really lose to Liu Jue!

Liu Bei's heart was full of questions, and he hurriedly asked the spy to explain the details.

According to the spy's report, after Liu Jue introduced Cao Ren to Xinye City, he set a fire in the city in the early hours of this morning, burning Cao Jun to the point of losing his armor.

It wasn't until noon that the fire slowly went out.

Liu Bei's mouth opened wide, he knew Liu Jue's strategy, but at that time, he didn't think that such a strategy would be successful.

Is Cao Ren so stupid, if you leave an empty city there, he won't know that it's a trap, and he will stupidly drill into it?

However, the current fact is that Cao Ren was really fooled, and 30,000 Cao soldiers were burned by Liu Jue.

Liu Bei glanced at everyone, then took a deep breath and said, "I didn't expect Liu Jue's plan to really succeed, I don't know what you think?"

Xu Shu was also very shocked, but he was different from Liu Bei, he believed from the beginning that Liu Jue's strategy had at least a seventy percent chance of success.

Not because of anything else, just because Liu Jue has Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong by his side.

Wolong and phoenix, one person can settle the world!

"My lord, according to my opinion, I'm afraid that the third prince showed weakness to the enemy, which made Cao Ren despise him, otherwise Cao Ren would not have been tricked. Xu Shu quickly thought of the key.

Liu Bei was very speechless and said: "Cao Ren is inevitably too careless, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a trap set by others, but he was fooled." "

Guan Yu opened his mouth and said: "Big brother, this is called the defeat of the arrogant soldiers!"

Liu Bei nodded, admired Liu Jue a little in his heart, and said: "In this way, Cao Ren's army is defeated like a mountain, and we can breathe a sigh of relief." "

Guan Yu continued: "Not only that, Cao Ren's 30,000 army is going south, Wancheng must be empty of garrison, it is better for us to take the opportunity to go north and take Wancheng directly." "

Liu Bei's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then he said hesitantly: "With Liu Jue's cleverness, I wouldn't have thought of taking advantage of this opportunity, if I went north to capture Wancheng, I just happened to meet him, I can't compete with him, right?"

Xu Shu persuaded him: "Since this is the case, then we will leave for the north immediately, as long as we take Wancheng before the arrival of the third prince, it will be too late to say anything." "

Liu Bei said with some concerns: "Liu Jue is probably chasing Cao Ren at the moment, if I take advantage of this time to capture Wancheng, won't it make people say that I am not kind?"

Guan Yu said eagerly: "Big brother, now that the opportunity is so rare, why do you bother about this?"

Liu Bei frowned, saying that it was fake not to be moved, but he habitually hesitated at the moment.

Liu Bei in history, in his early twenties, participated in the conquest of the Yellow Turban, but when he was almost fifty years old, he really owned a piece of land, which he borrowed from Jiangdong.

This situation was caused by Liu Bei's hesitation at a critical moment.

In Liu Jue's opinion, Liu Bei cherishes his reputation too much, resulting in a very forward-looking work.

At that time, Mu Taoqian of Xuzhou was critically ill and wanted Liu Bei to take over Xuzhou, but Liu Bei was afraid of others gossiping, so he refused to accept it again and again.

Tao Qian sent Liu Bei to kneel, and then under the persuasion of Chen Deng and Kong Rong, Liu Bei took over Xuzhou.

Later, after Liu Biao died, Zhuge Liang persuaded Liu Bei to take the opportunity to seize Jingzhou, but Liu Bei refused again.

Later, Liu Zhang invited Liu Bei to enter Yizhou to help fight against Zhang Lu, and Fa Zheng asked him to take the opportunity to seize Yizhou, but Liu Bei was hesitant at first.

In the end, it was Pang Tong's persuasion, which made Liu Bei decide to take Yizhou.

Because Liu Bei feels that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, he has fame, and with the identity of the Han family, there will be many talents to assist him, so that he can achieve great things.

It is true that there are indeed many people who go to Liu Bei to assist him because of his reputation, such as Xu Shu.

But Liu Bei forgot that those who achieve great things must be informal.

The best example is Cao Cao, look at Cao Cao's current achievements, he is not a few years older than Liu Bei, he also rose to prominence in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but now he has unified the north.

What if others scolded him for being a thief and a thief? He was not the same, he had a very nourishing life, and he had a large number of soldiers, and even Emperor Liu Xie had to look at his face.

It was also because he cared about these subsections that Liu Bei wasted half of his life in vain, and finally Pang Tong woke him up.

Now, Liu Bei's old problem has been made again.

Xu Shu continued to persuade: "Lord, that Wancheng is now Cao Cao's territory, Cao Cao is a thief, we are taking it in the right way, who will gossip?"

Guan Yu also came to persuade: "Big brother, what the military advisor said makes sense, the opportunity should not be missed, even if Wancheng is preempted by the third prince, there is no loss for us." "

Zhang Fei, who had not spoken, suddenly stood up at this time and said loudly: "Big brother, if you are afraid of others gossiping, let me lead the troops to fight Wancheng." If others ask, they will say that I, Zhang Fei, am making my own opinion!".

When Liu Bei heard the words of the three of them, he hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! "

Liu Bei is too eager for a large enough territory, he is now in his forties, from north to south for more than 20 years, and now there is only such a small city as Xinye.

It's so shabby that Liu Bei is embarrassed to say that he is a prince.

Now there is a city of Wan in front of him, like a pie falling from the sky.

If you can take Wancheng and further take Nanyang County, at that time, not to mention that the dragon enters the sea, it can be regarded as a fish in water, at least you don't have to live in Xinye anymore.

Whether it was Xu Shu or Guan Yu, they all smiled when they heard that Liu Bei had finally made a decision.
