Liu Bei was defeated.

Still a fiasco.

This ending was beyond everyone's expectations.

Even Zhuge Liang was shocked, and the military books in his hands fell to the ground.

"This is impossible, the military advisor's clever plan is seamless, and there is Dong Cheng's mutiny as an internal response, how can Cao Yuan see through it?"

Sun Qian, whose face was distorted, jumped up and asked excitedly.

The Messenger could not answer.

Liu Bei's defeat was too hasty, and the details of the defeat were too late to be transmitted back to Jingzhou.

Zhuge Liang's sword eyebrows condensed slightly, the feather fan hung in the air, and there was a faint sense of foreboding in his heart.

"Let's go north first, and then take the lord's withdrawal to Jingzhou. "

Zhuge Liang raised his feather fan, and could only pretend to be calm and calm.

The army stationed in Xinye immediately went north.

Two days later, Zhuge Liang was in Biyang City and met Liu Bei, who had returned from the rout.

The 20,000-strong army at the time of departure had been completely lost, and less than 4,000 had fled.

The two armies met and set up camp on the spot.

In the Chinese military tent, Zhuge Liang finally met Liu Bei.

As soon as they met, he couldn't wait and asked Liu Bei about the details of Xu Du's defeat.

Liu Bei sighed gloomily, and had to tell the cause and effect with hatred.

From Cao Yuan leading Chima Yi to take the lead in quelling Dong Cheng's rebellion, to inducing his army to attack the city, to Chima Yi descending from the sky and defeating him in one fell swoop...

Zhuge Liang's brows became deeper and deeper, and the feather fan in his hand became tighter and tighter.

"Strategist, what a wonderful plan you have, I didn't expect to be seen through by that Cao Yuan, I am only a little short of being able to break through Xu Du!"

Liu Bei hit the desk with his fist, with a look of hatred and unwillingness.

Zhuge Liang took a deep breath, but said disapprovingly: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, the lord does not need to be discouraged, we still have opportunities in the future." "

"The Son of Heaven is dead, will we still have such a heaven-sent opportunity?"

Liu Bei sighed.

"The Son of Heaven is dead?"

Zhuge Liang finally couldn't hold his breath anymore, and asked in surprise: "Could it be that Cao Yuan was so bold that he actually killed the Son of Heaven?"

Liu Bei's eyebrows flashed with shame, and he didn't know how to deal with Zhuge Liang's questioning for a while.

At that time, Cao Yuan actually forced the Son of Heaven to appear in the city and slander the lord. "

"Xu Zhen judged that it was Cao Yuan who made people pretend to be the son of heaven, just to shake the hearts of our army, so that we would throw a mouse trap and dare not attack Xu Du, so he persuaded the lord to send troops to attack. "

"Who would have thought that the Son of Heaven would be true, and unfortunately died under the arrows of our army. "

Chen Zhi looked at his face, and was busy explaining for Liu Bei.

After all, Liu Xie was shot by him personally, if no one came to carry this black cauldron, he would have to carry it.

Liu Bei's appreciative gaze glanced at Chen Zhi, and then he didn't say a word, acquiescing to the lie made up by Chen Zhi.

Zhuge Liang believed it, and complained: "Yuan Zhi is really confused, this is obviously Cao Yuan's poisonous plan to kill people with a knife, he didn't even see it, and the lord was infamous for killing the king!"

"Borrowing a knife to kill someone?"

Liu Bei's expression was shocked, and he fell into a daze again.

"Yuan Shao is dead, no one in the north is Cao Cao's opponent anymore, and the Son of Heaven has lost its use value and has become a burden. "

"That Cao Yuan had the intention to get rid of the Son of Heaven for Cao Cao, but he didn't want to bear the notoriety of killing the monarch, so he resorted to this poisonous plan and shot the Son of Heaven by the hand of the lord!"

"If Liang was present at the time, he would never let the lord attack Xu Du and kill the Son of Heaven by mistake!"

Zhuge Liang was so resourceful that he immediately saw Cao Yuan's strategy.

Liu Bei suddenly realized.

Endless shame and anger burned in my heart.

"It's hateful, I was teased by that Cao Yuan thief again!"

"He also borrowed a knife to kill people, killed the Son of Heaven, and was infamous for killing the king!"

"Cao Yuan, Cao Yuan, how can you be so cunning and vicious!"

Liu Bei cursed secretly, regret and resentment in his heart.

At this moment, he really felt the urge to slap himself.

"Military advisor, if I knew that it was a trick of the Cao thief, I would never attack Xu Du and accidentally harm the Son of Heaven. "

"Now that the wood has been completed, the Son of Heaven has indeed died under the arrows of our army, but what should I do?"

After the resentment, Liu Bei panicked and had to ask Zhuge Liang for help.

Zhuge Liang had to sigh: "The matter has come to this, the lord must not admit to killing the king, just send someone to spread rumors to the world, saying that Cao Yuan killed the Son of Heaven, hoping to confuse the public and make amends." "

"That's all there is to it. "

Liu Bei sighed helplessly.

"Lord, where is Yuan Zhi?"

Zhuge Liang found out that Xu Shu had not returned.

"Yuan Zhihe, he..."

Liu Beizhuan burst into tears, and sobbed: "Yuan Zhi was shot by an arrow when he retreated, and was captured by Cao Jun, he refused to surrender to Cao, and he was killed by that Cao Yuan!"

Zhuge Liang's body was shocked, and the gently swaying feather fan was suspended in mid-air again.

In the originally indifferent eyes, deep hatred and anger have ignited in a blink of an eye.

Xu Shu, who studied with him under Mr. Shui Jing, is both a classmate and a friend.

Hearing that Xu Shu was killed, how could he not be sad and angry.

"Cao Yuan!

"You killed the Son of Heaven, killed my classmates and friends, the hatred of the country and the family, and did not share the sky!"

"I Zhuge swear that from now on, I will never die with you!"

"If you can't live for the common people in the world, get rid of you, the traitor who aids in the abuse, I will be destroyed by Zhuge Liang!"

Zhuge Liang looked at the north from afar, his eyes burned with anger, and he swore a heavy oath.

...

Dawn City.

The Caozi battle flag has flown over the gateway to Hebei.

After ten days of strong attack, Cao's army finally broke through the city and entered.

Cao Cao climbed the north gate tower, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and there was already a plain in front of him.

This time to Yecheng, Yuan Shang will have no danger to defend.

The pacification of the four states of Hebei and the unification of the north are close at hand.

Cao Cao laughed loudly and said proudly: "Pass the order, the army will rest for two days, and go straight to Yecheng!"

The voice fell.

Dian Wei came to report, saying that Xiahou Shang was ordered by Xiahou to report the victory.

Hearing the word "victory", Cao Cao's expression moved, and he knew that Cao Yuan's calculation was correct, and Xu Du was bound to be in chaos.

"Pass him up. "

Cao Cao flicked his hand.

Not much.

Xiahou Shang climbed the city tower and bowed down to Cao Cao.

"The Son of Heaven instructed Dong Cheng to launch a mutiny, but fortunately, Ziyou's military division arrived in time to quell the rebellion and wipe out Dong Cheng and all the rebels. "

"Liu Bei wanted to join forces with the outside, rushed to attack Xudu, and also suffered heavy losses for Ziyou's army, and has now fled back to Jingzhou. "

"Xu Du has restored stability, and Yuan asked his uncle to ask Sikong not to worry, and to attack Hebei with all his might. "

Xiahou Shang Jiangjie reported.

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, and a big stone hanging in his heart also landed.

Guo Jia exclaimed: "If it weren't for Ziyou's military division, who was like a god, calculated that Xu Du mutinied, Liu Bei sneak attacked, and led the army to help quell the rebellion in time, the consequences would be unimaginable." "

Cao Cao nodded slightly, and said with emotion: "Yes, Ziyou has made a great contribution again this time." "

"Sikong, although the rebellion in Xudu has been pacified, it's just...."

Xiahou still wanted to speak and stopped.

"Just what?"

Cao Cao became alert.

Xiahou Shang had no choice but to give up: "It's just that the Son of Heaven has bad luck, and when Liu Bei attacked the city, he was deliberately shot by Liu Bei!"

"What?"

Cao Cao was taken aback and suddenly changed color.
