Hearing the footsteps outside the door gradually going away, Cao Er said with a wicked smile:

"My lord, this little lady is so kind to you!"

Wang Zhi motioned for the visitors to sit casually, and took a cup of tea and sat back to his own seat:

"Cao Er, have you forgotten your identity, so you won't be afraid that I will blame you if you speak to your superiors like this!"

Cao Er stuck out his tongue.

He knew that Wang Zhi just said that on purpose, but in fact Wang Zhi took great care of them.

The visitor bowed his hands to Wang Zhi: "Cao Cong of the Jungle Camp has seen Mr. Wang!"

Wang Zhi waved his hand: "You don't need to be polite here. During the day, you came in a hurry. I didn't ask carefully. Why did you go to the city? Did the lord make arrangements?"

Cao Cong said: "No, it's a city where humble officials entered without authorization."

"Oh!" Wang Zhi was obviously a little surprised, "Then what do you mean by entering the city?"

"It's like this. I was ordered to destroy the grain road from Chengdu to Zitong. Now that Zitong is broken, I thought that instead of circling outside the city, I might as well sneak into the city. When the lord hits Chengdu, it would be no better for us to cooperate inside and outside!"

Wang Zhi nodded:

"Well, your idea is very good. It's just that it's really difficult to open the city gate from the inside out. I've been in the city for a long time, and I know a thing or two about Chengdu's city defense. Liu Bei was obviously scared by our lord. He Not only are the city walls being strengthened every day, but the city defense forces are also strictly controlled, so it is difficult to make small moves in the city!"

Cao Cong smiled lightly:

"It was precisely because of the difficulty that I followed the code to find you here as soon as I entered the city. Fortunately, my subordinates took the right step, otherwise these brothers under him would not know how to arrange them!"

"Forget it, since you have come, you should hide first. Liu Bei has become more anxious because of the fall of Zitong these two days, and the number of patrols in the city has increased a lot. You tell the brothers to hide well, there is no need to try to hide as much as possible. Don't go out."

"Naturally, I know this humble job. It's just that you have worked hard, sir, and you still have to feed us every day."

"It's all for the lord, so it's hard work."

The three then conspired briefly.

Cao Cong got up and said: "It's getting late, my subordinates are leaving now, leaving the brothers outside, I don't worry about it!"

Wang straightened up:

"That's fine, then I won't keep it. Cao Er, please send General Cao off for me."

"Okay, don't worry!"

Wang Zhi watched the two leave, and immediately fell into deep thought when he got back to his seat.

He wants to make a good plan for the cooperation between the inside and the outside.

Not too far away from here is the Yizhou State Shepherd's Mansion where Liu Bei lives.

It was already late at night, but the lights in the State Shepherd's Mansion were as bright as day.

In Liu Bei's small conference hall, Fazheng, Zhang Song, Zhao Wei, Zhang Ren, Li Yan, Yan Yan, Yang Yi and others were all here.

The two words "Sorrow!" were clearly written on their faces.

Liu Bei, who was in the middle, frowned into a Sichuan character.

The whole person seemed to be shrouded in a cloud of gloom, and he looked much older.

Can Liu Bei not worry?

That was an army of 40, but in just one battle, they were beaten to pieces, those who died in battle died in battle, and those who were captured were captured. Sima Yi didn't know whether he was alive or dead, as if the world had evaporated.

"Everyone, now that Cao's army has captured Zitong, the next step is very likely to attack Mianzhu. Everyone has a good strategy for this!"

"..."

Liu Bei asked three times in a row, but needles could still be heard in the small conference hall.

After a while, Li Yan said:

"My lord, the plan for now is to send a capable general to Mianzhu to guard against Cao Jun's attack. As for the follow-up, we can only take one step at a time!"

Fazheng also said: "Well, what Zheng Fang said is very true. At present, Cao's army has not yet pursued the victory, and our army still has room to maneuver. Please also send a good general to use the advantage of Mianzhu's terrain to deal with Cao's army. In the battle of Zitong, we lost in the battle. Above the grain and grass, Mianzhu is not far from Chengdu, as long as we are careful, we won't suffer the same loss as last time!"

Liu Bei sighed: "It seems that's the only way! It's just that this good general... who else can take on this important task!"

The first thing he thought of was Zhao Yun who was still under house arrest.

But he was still suspicious, and he never dared to hand over such an important place to someone he didn't trust.

Seeing that there was no one to fight, Zhang Ren stood up and said: "The last general is not talented, and I am willing to go to Mianzhu to defend Cao's army!"

Liu Bei felt relieved when he heard this, Zhang Ren was the only one who succeeded in escorting food and grass last time, and this time he took the initiative to ask for a fight, so he couldn't help but glance at Zhang Rengao again.

"Very good, I don't know who else would like to go together!"

Chapter 465 You Can Do It Yourself

After another half hour, Yan Yan got up and said: "The final general is willing to help General Zhang and go to guard Mianzhu!"

Liu Bei knew that Yan Yan was good at fighting, and he was one of the few fierce generals in the army. Seeing that Yan Yan also stood up to ask for a fight, he immediately nodded in relief and said:

"Okay, with the two generals Zhang and Yan going, you can rest assured!"

Although they said so, how many people here can really feel at ease.

The 40 allied forces of the four parties were defeated, so how could Zhang Ren and Yan Yan have only tens of thousands of horses to stop Cao Jun's pace!

Zitong City.

At dawn, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong came to Cao Ang's residence hand in hand.

When Cao Ang saw the two coming, he knew that the two would have something to say, so he asked:

"Why did you come together, have you eaten yet?"

Zhuge Liang said: "I have eaten, my lord, I have something unclear, so I am here to ask for advice!"

Pang Tong said: "I don't know if the little pig ate or not, but my subordinates really didn't eat it, and they were called by this pig before they got up! Where is the lord's meal? You don't need to treat it yourself." , the subordinates can do it themselves!"

Cao Ang was accustomed to Pang Tong's unceremoniousness, and pointed to the direction of the kitchen outside:

"Just took it off, go and see for yourself, and eat it if you see what suits your mouth!"

"Dare you have a lot of food this morning, so you have a lot of choices?"

Pang Tong's eyes lit up, as if he had arrived at his own home, he headed towards the kitchen in a desperate manner.

Zhuge Liang could only smile wryly.

There is no other way but to wait for Pang Tong to come back.

Pang Tong went out quickly, and came back not too slowly.Not a moment later, I saw him walking back resentfully.

Zhuge Liang was taken aback: "It's so fast, you've finished eating!"

Pang Tong took out the hand behind his back:

"It's the same when you come back to eat!"

Only then did Zhuge Liang notice that Pang Tong was holding a big white steamed bun in his hand, and a small dish of pickles in his other hand.

"Chicken, this is not your character, why did you bring this little thing back?"

Pang Tong glanced at Cao Ang with a smile on his face:

"I'd like to get something else, it's worth it! I originally planned to have some delicious food at the general's place, but who knew that the food here is actually the same as ours."

Zhuge Liang suddenly understood what was going on, he laughed and said:

"It's clearly different!"

"Why is it different, isn't this morning's meal steamed buns?"

"No, it's because the lord is missing a bowl of porridge! Haha!"

Pang Tong: "..."

Cao Ang laughed and said, "Unfortunately, when the porridge is gone, Shi Yuan can only wrong you!"

Pang Tong really regretted not having dinner at the resident. He originally wanted to come here to have some delicious food, but he made a mistake!

He took a bite of the already cold steamed bun, and took another bite of pickles:

"Forget it, it's good to have a stutter when you're out in battle. What porridge do you want? I just regret it. I knew that when I was hungry for Yizhou soldiers outside the city, I should have gone every day! As a result, I didn't go there once. I didn’t eat any good things, those soldiers are so good, they can eat good things and get military merits, but I can only eat steamed buns, alas! It’s so sad, so sad!”

Zhuge Liang suddenly felt that it would be embarrassing for him to come here with him!

Pooh!

I won't bring you here next time I say nothing!

All the faces of the scholars were lost!

Cao Ang laughed after hearing Pang Tong's words.

"Kong Ming, Shi Yuan, the two of you came here so early in the morning, don't you just come to eat with me?"

Zhuge Liang glanced at Pang Tong full of disgust: "The subordinate came here for something, but he, I'm not sure if he came here for dinner!"

Pang Tong glanced back at Zhuge Liang: "Isn't it just a broken steamed bun? What's the use of it! I just saw that you were in a hurry, so I came with you, and I missed the time for eating. You have the nerve to say that I came to eat of!"

Zhuge Liang was speechless. If he could do it all over again, he would definitely come alone.

Seeing that Pang Tong was choking on the steamed buns, Cao Ang casually threw a bottle of Nutrition Express over:

"Eat slowly, don't choke!"

Pang Tong cheerfully took over the Nutrition Express:

"Hey! Let me just say, coming to the Lord's place to eat, how could it be dry!"

Zhuge Liang looked at the bottle of Nutrition Express, envious for no reason.

But soon he said seriously:

"My lord, the next step is Mianzhu. I'm not talented. I'm willing to give it a try and win the city for my lord!"

"Oh! Alright! Tell me, who do you plan to take with you, and how many people do you need?"

Nowadays, Cao Ang really doesn't have much interest in fighting. It's all Han people who fight, and it's not the common people who suffer, which is boring!

"I plan to ask my lord to lend me the four generals Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Pang De, and Wei Yan! As for the troops, [-] will do!"

"No problem, if the four of them know that there is a war, they will probably be woken up laughing, but 1 people are not a little less!"

Zhuge Liang quickly said: "Enough is enough, 1 people are enough!"

Cao Ang rubbed his chin, feeling the stubble rubbing against his palm:

"How about this? Most of the land in Shu is mountainous, and most of our people are cavalry. I will also send Qu Yi to you. He has two thousand in his hand to go to the camp first. It will definitely be of great use at critical moments."

Zhuge Liang didn't refuse this time: "Alright, then when shall we set off?"

"What are your plans?"

Zhuge Liang rubbed his hands excitedly: "Of course, the sooner the better!"

"Then you can take my general order to communicate with them, and it's up to you to decide when to leave!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

Zhuge Liang gave a deep salute: "If the lord has nothing else to do, the subordinate will leave!"

"Well, you go!"

……

After Zhuge Liang left, Pang Tong, who was belatedly aware of it, caught up with him:

"Brother Pig, wait!"

Zhuge Liang turned around and looked at Pang Tong, who still had a nutrition express line hanging from the corner of his mouth, feeling that his appearance seemed a little funny.

He couldn't help laughing and said: "What's the matter! Can you wipe your mouth before speaking, why are you planning to go back and continue to savor it!"

Pang Tong wiped the corner of his mouth subconsciously:

"Don't change the subject, let me ask you, you called me here early in the morning just to challenge the lord?"

"Ah! Yes, what's the matter?"

"What's the matter? I've been listening for a long time. You mentioned so many people's names, but my name is not included here."

Zhuge Liang pretended to ponder: "It seems that you really don't have your name!"
