Chapter 243 The pillars of Jingxiang, Huang Zhong and Wen Pin!

At the same time, Yuzhou, Runan City.

Liu Bei looked at the secret letter sent by Cao Cao and fell into deep thought.

After a long while, Liu Bei looked at the camp outside the city and said hesitantly, "Ziyuan, Gongyou, do you think Ye Feng really left the camp?"

"Or is this a trap set by Cao Cao? To test us with our own death?"

Xu You hesitated for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "I have known Cao Mengde since childhood, and he is definitely not a short-sighted person."

"He must understand the principle that the lips and teeth are interdependent."

"So he won't frame us."

Sun Qian also nodded: "Ye Feng is now invincible and has the potential to sweep the world. At this time, anyone with ambition will first eliminate the biggest threat, so this judgment will not be false."

"Ye Feng thinks he is invincible and has a big appetite. One Runan and Yuzhou may not be able to satisfy his appetite."

"Liu Yao was ambushed, and Cao Cao and Tao Qian were also likely ambushed."

"This is the method of surrounding a point and attacking its reinforcements."

Liu Bei's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Does that mean there are not many enemies outside, and the city is half empty?"

Sun Qian and Xu You looked at each other and nodded heavily: "Not bad."

"My lord, if you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences."

"When we heard the news that Liu Yao was ambushed two days ago, we should have taken the initiative to attack and join forces with Wen Pin to encircle and suppress the enemies outside the city. Although it is a little late now, we still have a chance."

"But if we continue to delay, I'm afraid the opportunity will be missed."

"My Lord, please make the decision."

Liu Bei's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and suddenly he clenched his teeth and said, "Okay, send a message to Wen Pin, and launch the attack at midnight tonight!"

"Give me all the wine and meat in the city. I will reward the three armies today. Let the brothers eat their fill and kill the bandits."

"Here!!!"

The sun was blazing brightly in the sky, and soon the aroma of meat filled the air from the city wall and wafted far away.

Guan Yu, who had just conducted a wave of attack and defense drills, was about to arrange for dinner, but he saw Guo Jia walking quickly towards him with a serious expression.

Guan Yu was stunned, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Military Advisor, why are you coming out at this time?"

Guo Jia pointed at the city wall and asked, "General, have you noticed something wrong with the defenders in the city today?"

"Something's wrong?"

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and shook his head, "I didn't see any clues."

"The guards still dare not let their guard down this morning. Arrows fly out every time we attack. Although they cannot cause any harm to us, they are still on guard against us."

"It's also because we are short of manpower right now. Otherwise, if there are two more fake-to-real attacks, Liu Bei will have to raise the defense of the entire city to the highest point."

Guo Jia closed his eyes tightly and said, "General Guan, I'm not talking about these things, but the smell of meat coming from the city wall."

"Meat?"

Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, then he used his nose to smell the meaty aroma in the air and looked towards the city wall: "Not bad."

"But what does this mean?"

Guo Jia's eyes sparkled: "It means Liu Bei can't help but take action against us."

"what?"

"How can this be?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Why not?"

Guan Yu scratched his head and said, "How can we force a connection between two things that are completely unrelated?"

Guo Jia said: "Usually, only when there is a great victory will the army be rewarded and large pieces of meat will be given to the soldiers to enjoy."

"But Liu Bei has been suppressed in the past few days, and the morale is low. What does it mean that he suddenly takes out food to reward the three armies?" "It means that Liu Bei needs them to fight for their lives and use practical actions to motivate the morale of the three armies."

"If you had to fight us, why would you give us these supplies?"

Guan Yu was also a smart man. As soon as Guo Jia explained, he understood immediately. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the city wall: "Military Advisor, I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time."

"Zilong will completely destroy Liu Yao's reinforcements. My lord, just wait for Tao Qian and Cao Cao's army to move out, and then we can take Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou in one fell swoop."

"We stayed in Runan, and we didn't do much. Although my lord guessed that Liu Bei would not be able to resist attacking, I am not sure. After all, my lord's methods are unpredictable. How can Liu Bei, who has been defeated by him many times, not be afraid?"

"If Liu Bei doesn't dare to come out, we really won't get any credit at all."

"did not expect"

"hey-hey."

"This credit comes easily."

Guo Jia looked at Guan Yu, who was full of fighting spirit, and couldn't help but pour cold water on him: "General Guan, don't be too happy too soon."

"In addition to dealing with the enemies inside Runan City, we also need to be wary of the enemies outside the city."

"Wen Pin's troops should be around us, ready to bite us at any time like a poisonous snake."

Guan Yu laughed and said, "They have a back-up plan, don't we have one?"

"Military Advisor, don't think I don't know that Zilong is already around us."

"We just need to wait for the big fish Liu Bei to jump out. He will be able to cooperate with us from inside and outside to completely eliminate these two elite soldiers."

"Speaking of which, the Lord's arrangement can really be regarded as flawless."

Guo Jia nodded in agreement: "Yes, your ability is indeed incredible and makes people look up to you."

"So there must be no accidents in our performance tonight."

Guan Yu chuckled and said, "Don't worry. If I can't eat the fat meat that's right in front of me, what's the point of my head?"

Runan, thirty miles southwest, in a valley.

Wen Pin and Huang Zhong's 30,000-strong army have been stationed here for several days.

Seeing the enemy right in front of them but the army not moving, the hot-tempered Huang Zhong naturally couldn't stand it. He went to ask for battle many times, but was blocked by Wen Pin every time.

Early this morning, after stretching his muscles, Huang Zhong came to Wen Pin's tent again.

"General Wen, when will we launch our attack on Ye Feng?"

"Liu Yao, the governor of the state, has been attacked. This proves that the enemy outside the city is less than 100,000. If we join forces inside and outside to deal with the scattered troops left by Ye Feng, how can we fail?"

"No matter what you say today, I'm going to hit him."

"Let Ye Feng know that not everyone in the world is afraid of him or fears him."

Wen Pin looked at Huang Zhong with a smile on his face: "Brother Han Sheng, you are just too impatient."

"As commanders, our every move affects the lives of tens of thousands of people. How can we send troops out without knowing the enemy's intentions?"

"How can we bear the consequences if thousands of people die on the battlefield due to our own misjudgment?"

Huang Zhong was speechless for a moment, but still said unconvincedly: "War means death, can it be..."

Wen Pin patted Huang Zhong on the shoulder and said, "Brother Han Sheng, look at this..."

As he said this, he handed Liu Bei's letter to Huang Zhong.

After reading it, Huang Zhong's eyes were filled with excitement: "Ye Feng is not outside Runan City, and has already gone north to ambush Cao Cao and Tao Qian?"

"This is a God-given opportunity, don't miss it!"

Wen Ping nodded slowly, looking in the direction of Runan City, his eyes full of brilliance: "It's time to let Ye Feng suffer a big defeat, otherwise how can he take the heroes of the world seriously?"
