Yuan Shu was immediately moved!

He had served as the prefect of Nanyang before, and he had also heard of the name of Mr. Shui Jing.

If Zhuge Liang is really a disciple of Sima Hui, then he must have known people.

What's more, Zhuge Liang's conversation just now can also be seen that he is quick-witted.

"Sir, you must save me!"

Yuan Shu walked over quickly, held Zhuge Liang's hand, expecting the truth.

"Don't worry, Mr. Yuan, this is natural!"

Zhuge Liang smiled faintly, then changed the topic,
"However, if Mr. Yuan wants me to help you, he must trust me and put all the troops under your command under my command!"

Yuan Shu, who had nowhere to go, agreed without thinking about it.

He instructed Ji Ling and the others beside him,
"From now on, you all obey Mr. Kong Ming's orders!"

"Here!"

All the generals responded in unison.

Yuan Shu ordered people to prepare a banquet to welcome Liu Bei and others. He also ordered people to call all the civil servants and generals in the city.

"My lord, Yuan Shu is short-sighted and extravagant, there is really no need for us to save him."

Zhuge Liang whispered to Liu Bei.

When they first came, Yuan Shu was arrogant, but later he became humble again in order to ask Zhuge Liang to save him.

So arrogant and respectful, no wonder it will be reduced to such a point.

"Of course I know. It's just to deal with Cao Mao, and I can't take care of that much."

Liu Bei sighed.

"Yuan Shu's troops are so weak, how do you plan to deal with Cao Mao?"

"Let me keep it a secret, the lord will know later."

Zhuge Liang smiled mysteriously.

After a while, the banquet officially began.

Now there is a lack of food and grass in the city, and the soldiers are all hungry.

However, wine and meat are placed in front of everyone's table, and there are even dancers dancing in the hall.

Seeing this, Liu Bei felt even more disapproving of Yuan Shu.

After eating and drinking, Yuan Shu stood up and announced that Zhuge Liang would command the army in the city.

"Mr. Kong Ming, you can order as much as you want!"

Yuan Shu said with a pleasant smile.

Zhuge Liang stood up slowly, looked around, and commanded solemnly,

"Since Mr. Yuan is entrusting me with the responsibility of dealing with Cao Mao, I hope everyone will follow orders!"

Yuan Shu spoke first, and everyone naturally had no objections.

Zhuge Liang's first order was to select [-] elite soldiers from Yuan Shu's men.

Now Yuan Shu still has more than [-] people in Shiting.

But they are hungry for a long time, and their combat effectiveness is low.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang wanted to select [-] elites, and everyone agreed.

But the next order he gave surprised everyone.

Zhuge Liang ordered that in addition to leaving enough rations for those soldiers who were eliminated to survive starvation,

All the rest of the food and grass will be supplied to [-] elites.

Let them eat with their stomachs open!
"This...isn't it okay?"

Ji Ling was the first to object.
"If this is allowed to eat, I'm afraid there will be no food in two days."

"Yes, if there is no food in stock, we will starve to death in two days!"

"Sir, you should think twice!"

Facing everyone's doubts, Zhuge Liang smiled lightly,
"In two days, I will use troops against Cao Mao!"

"As long as we defeat him at that time, we will naturally have enough food and grass."

"If you lose...do you think it is necessary to save food?"

Everyone pondered.

Right.

At that time, no matter whether they win or lose, they don't need to worry about food shortages.

"Listen to Mr. Kong Ming's orders!"

Yuan Shu ordered with a final word.

Only then did everyone have no objections.

"The generals obey!"

Zhuge Liang's face was serious, and he shouted,
"Today you need to select [-] elites, and they will go out of the city to practice tomorrow morning. If anyone dares to violate the military order, he will be executed without mercy!"

Everyone's heart trembled, and they responded in unison.

……

Although there are Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and Zhang Fei to help.

But Yuan Shu still had some doubts in his heart.

So early the next morning, instead of indulging in the wives and concubines in the harem, he called Liu Bei and climbed the city wall together.

He was going to see how Zhuge Liang planned to train his soldiers.

On the plain outside the city, Yuan Shu's 2 horses spread out smoothly.

Yuan Shu and Liu Bei originally thought that Zhuge Liang led the troops out of the city to improve the combat power of the soldiers.

But the two looked at it for a while, and suddenly found something was wrong.

Zhuge Liang seemed to be directing the soldiers and practicing formation.

Behind him stood a group of commanding soldiers holding command flags of different colors.

As the command flags in the hands of the commanding soldiers fluttered up and down, the formation of the army was constantly changing.

But no matter how they change, Yuan Shu and Liu Bei can tell that the formation of the army is like gossip!
"Xuande, what are you doing, sir?"

Yuan Shu said in a daze.

"This... I don't know either."

Liu Bei shook his head.

The two stood on the city wall like this, watching Zhuge Liang practice all morning.

Taking advantage of the noon break and the time when the soldiers were eating, Yuan Shu sent someone to call Zhuge Liang up to the city wall.

"Mr. Kong Ming has worked hard, drink tea quickly."

Yuan Shu handed over a cup of green tea and said with a smile,
"Today, I see that sir seems to be practicing a certain formation?"

"That's right, the formation I practiced today is called the Bagua formation!"

Zhuge Liang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and continued,
"This gossip array is the secret of my Zhuge family. It has only been formed after several generations of research!"

"As long as you show the gossip array, with Yuan Gong's 2 horses, it is enough to deal with an army of [-]!"

After all, Zhuge Liang is only a human being, not a god.

It would be impossible for him to train Yuan Shu's [-] miscellaneous troops to the level of Cao Mao within two days, even to raise it to a higher level.

But the reason why he was able to win Cao Mao with confidence was because of this Eight Diagrams array!
Seeing Zhuge Liang's confidence, both Yuan Shu and Liu Bei felt relieved.

"Then it's all up to sir!"

Yuan Shu said expectantly.

……

Two days later.

Cao's army camp.

Cao Mao was lying on the bed, enjoying Huang Yueying's back beating behind him.

At this moment, Zhao Yun's steady voice came from outside the tent,

"My lord, the spies in front have sent information! Yuan Shu's army is almost in full swing, and they are heading this way."

Cao Mao opened his eyes and nodded towards Huang Yueying.

She obediently helped Cao Mao up and helped him get dressed.

After he was fully dressed, Cao Mao got up and went to the Chinese army camp where the matter was being discussed.

Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Pang Tong and others had been waiting for a long time.

"Meet the lord!"

Everyone said in unison.

Cao Mao sat down slowly and asked Zhao Yun,

"How many people did Yuan Shu come with?"

"Reporting to my lord, there are about 2 horses. But compared to before, they are very energetic."

Cao Mao nodded slightly.

"My lord, do you want to avoid the sharp edge for now?"

Zhao Yun suggested.

They have already learned from Lei Bo and Chen Lan's generals that the food and grass in Shiting City are only enough for a few days.
