Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 541 Retreating and Breaking the Enemy

"Hmph, the [-] enemy troops are nibbling away at every step, and they are fighting steadily. With Wenpin, Song Jiang, Wei Yan, Huang Zhong and other brave and strategic generals commanding the army, it is not easy for us to defeat them. The scholar speaks big, but has he ever seen it? Is the battle line dangerous?"

Just when Liu Bei was excited and happy to have initially recruited the most urgently needed counselors like Fazheng, an arrogant and extremely discordant voice suddenly sounded at the door.

Guan Yu's face was as heavy as a jujube, and his beard was long and hung down from his chest. His face was full of disdain, and he stared coldly.

Beside him were Zhang Fei, a dark-faced man with a curly beard, and Pan Feng, a frowning man. They looked at Fazheng disapprovingly.

After the three of them learned that Liu Bei was entertaining distinguished guests in the hall, they hurried back after setting up the city defenses. They thought he was some great talent who could help them defeat the enemy, but they heard the scholar talking nonsense before they even entered the door.

Guan Yu held his head high and saw that it was Fazheng who had deceived them to Mianzhu Pass before giving Liu Biao the opportunity to sneak attack on the three counties. His face suddenly darkened, his tone was cold, and he asked angrily.

Although Zhang Fei and Pan Feng didn't say it directly like Guan Yu did, they glared at Fazheng with the same unkind expression.

"Yun Chang mustn't be rude, Xiao Zhi is a great talent in the world, how can you allow such slander?"

Liu Bei managed to get a counselor who was good at military strategy, and he liked Fazheng very much. Hearing Guan Yu's provocation, he was afraid that Fazheng would be embarrassed, so he quickly stood between the two of them, defending the Tao.

Under Guan Zhang's stern gaze, Fazheng stood upright without any trembling, but smiled lightly and said, "To tell the truth, General Guan, I really have never experienced battle formations, and I don't know how many battle formations there are." Dangerous. But to retreat from the enemy and destroy the bandits, it is not necessary to go into battle in person. A strategy in the belly, anticipating the enemy's opportunity first, is enough to win a thousand miles!"

"Hmph, it turns out that he is a useless scholar who can only talk on paper. Who can't tell such big talk!"

Guan Yu didn't back down at all, instead he was aggressive and insisted on giving Fazheng a blow, even Liu Bei, the eldest brother, had no effect.

"Whether it's a lie or not, General Guan will soon find out."

Fazheng smiled calmly and stopped talking to Guan Yu. Instead, he asked Liu Bei, "Mr. Liu, do you have a topographic map of Nanyang?"

"Of course, sir, come with me."

Seeing this, Liu Bei was overjoyed, and hurriedly led the way, knowing that Fazheng was going to show off his skills, and planned to retreat from the enemy.

Guan Yu couldn't help but his complexion changed slightly when he saw it. He wondered in his heart, could Fazheng really have the ability to defeat the enemy?

"Go over and take a look. I want to see if he is trying to fool my eldest brother."

Guan Yu walked up to Zhang Fei and Pan Feng, and said to the two of them, and the three of them followed.

When they came to the big tent of the military camp, they saw that Fazheng was already standing in front of the map of Nanyang lost in thought, and they didn't say anything to disturb him.

The terrain of Nanyang is somewhat complicated, with highlands and hills with wild vegetation, and criss-crossing lakes and rivers. There are many places that can be used, but none of them are suitable for Liu Bei's current situation.

If it is the first time to fight, Fa Zhengda can send a few weak brigades to show the enemy's weakness, lure the Jingzhou army into the mountains and forests to attack with fire, or trick them into the mouth of the mountain pass and flood the embankment.

But now that the war has begun, and both sides know each other clearly, these strategies seem too weak and pale, and become difficult to succeed.

No wonder Liu Bei would have such a headache for the Jingzhou army. Fazheng also felt the difficulty of the situation, but he didn't think so, but was so excited that he was eager to try.

Since the attack by flooding and fire cannot be successful, we can only start with the general.

The corner of Fazheng's mouth hooked, thinking about it.

After all, Song Jiang's army was born in Yellow Turbans, and there was definitely an identity and psychological gap with Wenpin and other local generals in Jingzhou. This can be seen from the fact that they camped in two places.

Right now, they can barely contain Nanyang by fighting each other, but once there is a misunderstanding between them, the conflict will be completely triggered, and Fazheng can seize the flaws and break them one by one.

So the key now is to make them hate each other and become angry, leave a grudge, and no longer act in unison.

Fazheng's grasp and understanding of the human heart has reached an extremely high level, and he can do such things with ease and with confidence.

Seeing the faint smile on the corner of Fazheng's mouth, Liu Bei couldn't help being a little excited, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Does Xiaozhi have a plan to retreat from the enemy?"

"Where there is a will, there is a way. As long as you are willing to work hard, it is not difficult to defeat the enemy."

Guan Yu couldn't believe it when he heard the words. He snorted coldly and said, "It's very difficult to retreat from the enemy, but you just talk about defeating the enemy. Well, if you can really do what you say, after defeating the enemy, you will still be defeated." Command, Guan will obey everything."

Although Guan Yu was arrogant, he was not an unreasonable person. He repeatedly challenged Fazheng, but he was actually worried that Fazheng was just an empty-talking scholar, and his anti-religious brother Liu Bei would be disappointed in the end.

Now that Fazheng is very confident, Guan Yu doesn't mind giving Fazheng this opportunity, and even helps him.

If he really tried to turn the tide, he would be convinced without any doubts.

"General Guan is polite."

Fazheng didn't take it seriously, smiled lightly, and said, "Song Jiang is a thief, and Wenpin is an official. There is dissatisfaction among officials and thieves. Ten thousand enemy troops will be destroyed without attack."

"Xiaozhi is trying to drive them apart?"

Liu Bei realized something and asked quickly.

Unexpectedly, Fazheng shook his head and denied, "Song Jiang's military advisor Wu Yong is not an ordinary person, and Wenpin Wei Yan is also a well-known general in Jingxiang. Although the divorce plan is good, it may not be able to deceive them. On the contrary, it is easy. To scare the snakes out of the grass and make them increase their vigilance is not conducive to our strategy."

Seeing that Fazheng denied his own ideas, Liu Bei was not only not angry, but was very happy, because he could already be sure that Fazheng really had a plan to defeat the enemy, no, it was a plan to defeat the enemy.

"What are you going to do sir?
The one who spoke was Zhang Fei with a loud voice. He also began to believe that Fazheng could really bring about miracles. Unknowingly, he turned from Guan Yu's side to Fazheng and addressed him as "sir".

"It's very simple. If we want to expose the enemy's discord, we must first create discord and expose the loopholes."

Fazheng smiled slightly, raised his head and looked thoughtfully at Guan Yu who was standing in front of him with a flushed face.

"Xiao Nao is indeed amazing."

Liu Bei seemed to have reacted and looked at his second brother Guan Yu with the same deep meaning.

"Sir, you are truly extraordinary!"

Zhang Fei and Pan Feng's eyes lit up, they looked at Guan Yu and echoed loudly.

The two rough guys didn't know how sophisticated Fazheng's strategy was. They just followed Liu Bei and learned it.

Liu Bei was a little embarrassed. In fact, he didn't know what Fazheng's specific strategy was.
