"Marshal, you're worrying too much. It's probably because Zhuge Liang isn't by his side.
"Fan City is currently the most important place for Liu Bei.
"Maybe Zhuge Liang is in Fan City right now, defending the city with Guan Yu."
Cao Chun waved his hand nonchalantly.
Hearing that Liu Bei Army wasn't attacking Cao Ren as expected, Cao Chun was elated.
"Impossible."
Bai Feng immediately rejected this idea.
"Our army is currently on a southern expedition, and our target isn't Fan City. Zhuge Liang wouldn't be stupid enough to go to Fan City himself.
"Even if he has such intentions, Liu Bei will definitely not agree."
"My guess is that Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong have different opinions, which led to the current problem."
Xiahou Yuan was taken aback.
"Could it be that Zhuge Liang isn't trusted by Liu Bei anymore and has turned to trust Pang Tong?"
When Bai Feng heard this, she suddenly thought of something and smiled.
"Interesting, interesting!
"If it were the usual Chick Feng, we would have to take it seriously, but the current Chick Feng is just a person blinded by hatred.
"Speaking of which, how could a formidable person like Liu Bei make such a mistake? I thought that only Yuan Benchu would make such a mistake. "
Everyone was confused by Bai Feng's words.
Cao Chun asked in confusion.
"How did Yuan Benchu get involved?"
Bai Feng nodded and explained.
"Do you still remember the Battle of Guandu, when Yuan Benchu was so much stronger than the Wei Emperor, but he still suffered a crushing defeat?
"It was Yuan Benchu who listened to the words of Guo Tu and the other treacherous officials and ignored Xu You.
"Xu You then joined the Wei Emperor and suggested burning down Wu's Nest, which laid the foundation for Yuan Benchu's crushing defeat."
Cao Chun had an epiphany.
"So that's how it is. Liu Bei gave Zhuge Liang the cold shoulder?"
"Could it be that Zhuge Liang will seek refuge with Wei Emperor and turn against Liu Bei?"
"It won't happen."
Bai Feng immediately rejected the idea.
"Zhuge Liang is different from Xu You. He is very loyal. No matter how Liu Bei treats him, at most, he will return to Longzhong and become a vagabond again. He will not betray him."
"Moreover, Yuan Shu didn't fail because he neglected his subordinates."
Cao Chun scratched his head.
"Then why?"
Bai Feng said indifferently,
"It's because there are too many strategists. As the saying goes, two tigers cannot live on the same mountain. When people with similar abilities appear, there will definitely be people who will be ostracized."
"The more strategists there are, the more ideas and ideas there will be. It is very difficult for two people to have the same opinion."
"That's right. Yuan Benchu listened to the wrong decision and listened to Guo Tufengji's slanderous words, which led to his death."
Bai Feng said it so clearly that even Cao Chun understood.
Why was it said that if one of the two young dragons and phoenixes could win the world?
It was because if one had both, there would be rejection.
Both of them were top strategists. There must be differences in their opinions. Even if they had a good relationship, there must be a gap between them when they were working under the same lord.
As a result, problems occurred one after another.
Thus, they made a wrong judgment.
"Marshal, since we know that they are attacking Jiangxia, what should we do?"
"Jiangxia's garrison is too small. We can't underestimate the 50,000 troops attacking the city."
Cao Chun whispered.
Jiangxia's garrison was only Zhang Liao and Li Cunxiao. Plus the reinforcements, it was no more than 10,000 troops. Most of the generals who came with Bai Feng this time were in Jiangling.
Jiangxia would definitely not be able to withstand the 40,000 troops attacking the city.
Bai Feng shook his head and said,
"Pang Tong is not a sycophant like Guo Tufengji. His strategy is also very good."
"Although he hates me very much now, since he has decided to attack Jiangxia, it means that he is prepared."
"We'll just have to wait and see. We'll decide based on the situation."
Cao Chun immediately nodded, "Marshal, don't worry.
"Marshal, don't worry. I'll inform Jiangxia and let them be fully prepared."
Bai Feng nodded slightly.
Now Bai Feng was thinking about Pang Tong's plan.
With Pang Tong's brain, he must have thought that it would be easier to attack Cao Ren at this time.
It seemed that there was a gap between him and Zhuge Liang, which led him to send troops to Jiangxia.
In this case, he must have a perfect plan. Otherwise, he couldn't persuade Liu Bei to attack Jiangxia.
But what would it be?
At the same time, in Jiangxia.
After receiving the urgent report from Jiangling, Zhang He and the others were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
"Mr. Li, this … I didn't expect that Pang Tong would lead troops to attack Jiangxia."
"There are 50,000 troops. We have so few troops. How can we deal with them?"
Zhang He said anxiously.
Li Cunxiao frowned slightly and didn't say anything.
Although the black armored cavalry under his command was very strong, it was not easy to fight against 50,000 troops.
Moreover, Bai Feng had said that they should try their best not to expose the black armored cavalry's combat strength.
They also had to hide it.
In this case, how could they defend Jiangxia?
Zhang He approached and said,
"Mr. Li, why don't we give up Jiangxia and go to Jiangling to find the Marshal?"
Li Cunxiao shook his head heavily, "No.
"No, have you forgotten what the marshal wrote in the letter?"
Zhang He was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then his face became dejected.
When they first took Jiangxia, Li Cunxiao originally planned to lead his troops to meet up with Bai Feng.
But just as he was thinking about it, Bai Feng's letter arrived.
Bai Feng's meaning was very simple. He wanted to defend Jiangxia.
In addition, it was not easy to take Jiangxia, so Li Cunxiao did not plan to give up so easily.
Zhang He's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Mr. Li, I have a plan. Will it work?"
"I will lead my troops to harass Liu Bei Army. We are all cavalry, so we can definitely fight guerrilla warfare."
"Most of the Liu Bei Army is infantry, so they are not very mobile. We can delay them outside the city as much as possible."
"Before the enemy reaches the city, we will defend the city.
It will be much better than the current situation. "
Li Cunxiao shook his head, "No.
Liu Bei Army has too many people. "
"We only have a few thousand cavalry. If there were only 20,000 of them, we might be able to do this."
"But Liu Bei Army has 40,000 people!"
"As long as Liu Bei Army comes back to their senses and encircles us, I'm afraid we won't be able to return to the city."
Zhang He fell silent when he heard this.
Then, he slapped his head and said,
"Cao Ren, and General Cao Ren! Although General Cao Ren's subordinates are heavily injured, they still have 40,000 troops! "
"If there are reinforcements, Jiangxia can be defended!"
Li Cunxiao sighed and said,
"Cao Ren's subordinates have just been defeated, and their morale is extremely low. I'm afraid that their 40,000 troops are not as strong as our 10,000 troops."
This time, Zhang He was also out of ideas.
There was no way to count on Jiangling to send troops now.
