At this moment, in Fan City:
Liu Bei looked at the battle report from the messenger, his expression extremely ugly.
"Big Brother, what happened? Just tell us."
"Everyone's worried sick!"
Zhang Fei couldn't help but blurt out when he saw that his big brother hadn't spoken for a long time.
Everything was fine just now, and everyone was toasting and celebrating the capture of Fan City.
Liu Bei's expression changed when he heard the battle report.
This made everyone else feel as if a huge stone was hanging in their hearts.
Guan Yu hurriedly stopped him.
"Third Brother, shut up!"
Zhang Fei had no choice but to turn around and drink alone.
Zhuge Liang at the side frowned and whispered:
"My lord, why did this happen?"
Liu Bei sighed.
"Military Advisor, there's an urgent report from Jiangling and Jiangxia. Two cities have fallen."
"What?!"
When Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately stood up and his expression changed drastically.
"Who did it? Could it be that Jiangdong brat who violated the alliance?! "
Liu Bei shook his head, his face pale.
"It's Bai Feng."
Zhang Fei was shocked, his face twitching.
"Wahahahaha, I'm so angry. Big Brother, give me two thousand men right now. I'll definitely tear that Bai Feng to pieces!"
Guan Yu waved his hand.
"Third Brother, don't mess around!"
"Big Brother, shouldn't that Bai Feng be fighting against us in Fan City?"
"There are clearly guards outside the city. How did this Bai Feng capture Jiangxia and Jiangling in such a short time?"
"This is too ridiculous. Could it be fake intelligence?"
Liu Bei shook his head.
"The intelligence can't be fake. General Huang Zhong has already led his troops to Fan City."
Immediately, the originally joyous faces of the crowd became extremely solemn.
It had only been a day!
In just one night, two cities had fallen!
Was this Bai Feng even human?
Was this really something that a human could do?
"Big Brother, I still find this matter strange."
Guan Yu stroked his beard and murmured, "That's right.
"The fall of Jiangxia is actually within our expectations. Bai Feng is good at scheming. Old General Huang has just joined us. If he is enraged, coupled with Bai Feng's Ferocious Cavalry, it will be difficult to win."
"But why did Jiangling and Jiangxia fall at the same time?"
"There are at least 100,000 soldiers surrounding us outside!"
"Bai Feng only has 10,000 soldiers at most."
"How can they take down two cities with such a small force?"
"Besides, there are twenty thousand soldiers in River Tomb!"
As soon as Guan Yu said this, the generals began to discuss among themselves.
"General Guan is right!"
"There's definitely something fishy about this!"
"It's hard to say. Could it be that General Mi Fang betrayed us?"
…
At the side, Zhuge Liang gently waved his feather fan as he pondered.
Jiangling City had probably fallen, but Zhuge Liang couldn't figure out what methods Bai Feng had used.
However, it was impossible for Mi Fang to betray them.
It was still possible that Huang Zhong had betrayed them, but Huang Zhong had already escaped back to them.
Who was Mi Fang?
His sister was Liu Bei's empress!
He was a legitimate relative of the emperor.
With such a high status, Mi Fang wasn't a fool. Even if his brain was fried, he wouldn't betray Cao Cao and go from being a relative of the emperor to living under someone else's roof, right?
Guan Yu hesitated for a moment before continuing.
"So, Big Brother, I think that Jiangling hasn't fallen. I'm willing to go and check it out."
Zhuge Liang hurriedly said,
"No! General Guan needs to oversee Fan City. This matter needs to be confirmed by someone else. "
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes.
"Then who does the Military Advisor think should go?"
"This …"
Zhuge Liang was in a dilemma.
He couldn't possibly ask Zhang Fei to go, right?
Zhang Fei was a complete brute. Asking him to investigate the situation was no different from sending him to his death.
As for the others, they might not be trustworthy …
At this moment, a hint of loneliness flashed across Zhuge Liang's eyes.
If Zhao Zilong was still around, he would be the best candidate.
Unfortunately …
At this moment, Pang Tong, who had been silent all this while, stood up and said coldly,
"My Lord, I'm willing to go and check it out."
Liu Bei was slightly surprised.
"Oh? Shiyuan is willing to go? "
Pang Tong smiled.
"My Lord, I would like to meet this Bai Feng and see if he's as powerful as the rumors say."
"Wolong and I have thought for a long time, but we can't think of a way to use 10,000 soldiers to rush to the two cities at such a fast speed and capture them."
"Unless the defending generals of the two cities have all betrayed us."
"But that's impossible. Everyone knows Huang Hansheng's reputation, and General Mi Fang is also a loyal person of Shu Han. It's impossible for him to betray us."
"I would like to see what method this Bai Feng used."
"He can't possibly know immortal arts, right?"
At this point, Pang Tong suddenly laughed out loud.
The generals below also burst into laughter.
Immortal arts?
How was that possible?
It was certain that Jiangxia would fall, but it was impossible for Jiangling to fall!
This matter must be fake news released by Bai Feng!
Liu Bei's expression was a little ugly, but he still said,
"Shiyuan, be careful!"
Pang Tong smiled.
"Don't worry, my Lord! This time, I might even kill Bai Feng with my own hands. "
Pang Tong gritted his teeth when he thought of the unbearably itchy scar on his back.
Pang Tong wanted nothing more than to kill Cao Cao, Cao Ren, and Bai Feng with his own hands.
Zhuge Liang, on the other hand, was worried.
Pang Tong was underestimating Bai Feng too much!
This was a huge taboo!
Zhuge Liang knew very well how powerful Bai Feng was.
Whether it was strategy, foresight, or martial strength, he could be said to be the best in the world.
After repeated setbacks, Zhuge Liang had already recognized the reality. He was no match for Bai Feng.
However, Zhuge Liang really couldn't understand why Bai Feng seemed to hate him and his Lord.
What exactly was it that caused him to be so angry?
To the extent that he turned from an idle person to a lackey of Cao Wei.
Just as Zhuge Liang was pondering, Pang Tong had already left.
Liu Bei frowned slightly and turned to Zhuge Liang.
"Military Advisor, what do you think of this matter?"
Zhuge Liang was startled at first, but his thoughts were instantly pulled back. Then, he coughed twice and said,
"My Lord, I think that Bai Feng is very likely to have already taken two cities."
Zhang Fei immediately said angrily,
"Hmph, Military Advisor, you're just raising the prestige of others and destroying our own morale!"
"Could it be that you're scared of Bai Feng?"
"Even if that Bai Feng has three heads and six arms, he can't take two cities with only ten thousand soldiers!"
Zhuge Liang frowned and didn't refute. Instead, he continued to speak to Liu Bei.
"My Lord, this is just my guess. Thinking of his previous methods, we must be wary of him."
"This time, I'm afraid that Shiyuan will underestimate the enemy. I hope that my Lord will pay more attention to Shiyuan's movements."
Liu Bei had never seen Zhuge Liang so worried before, so he immediately took it seriously.
