Liu Bei and the others were still talking about strategy, but the flying horse came to report that Cao Jun had already pushed to Bowang. Liu Bei didn't expect Cao Jun to be so fast, and immediately finalized the battle plan with Zhuge Liang.

This Cao Cao, I didn't expect to come so fast... Ling Hao's face was serious, Zhuge Liang said: "My lord, please rest assured, most of Xiahou Dun's troops have been burned in the previous fire, and now Cao Cao is coming again, and he will be caught again. It’s just that I’m afraid Xinye can’t stay here any longer, and we must retreat to Fancheng as soon as possible.” Liu Bei didn’t say much, and immediately sent someone to post a notice to tell the people to take refuge in Fancheng.

With Ma Chao's assistance, Liu Bei also seemed to feel relieved, but Zhuge Liang was not polite about using troops. "General Guan led a thousand troops to ambush in the upper reaches of the Baihe River, each with a cloth bag filled with sand, and strangled the water of the Baihe River until three o'clock in the next day. ", Guan Yu took the order.Zhuge Liang said to Zhang Fei: "General Zhang led a thousand troops to lay an ambush at Bolingdu. The water here is the slowest. Cao soldiers will flee here if they are flooded. From now on, they can take advantage of the situation to meet General Guan." Zhang Fei took orders. , "Don't worry, leave this matter to me!" Zhuge nodded and looked at Zhao Yun again.

"Zilong led an army of three thousand and divided them into four teams. He led one team to ambush outside the east gate, and the other three teams ambush at the south, west and north gates respectively. Zilong must first hide sulfur and saltpeter on the empty houses in the city before Cao soldiers enter the city. , you must rest in the houses first, and at dusk on the coming day, there will be a strong wind, but when the wind blows, order the officers and men of the three gates in the south, west, north, and south to shoot rockets into the city. At this time, you attack from the east gate, and after dawn, you and the two generals Guan and Zhang will withdraw their troops and return to Fancheng."

Ling Hao was a little dizzy, Zhuge Liang said so much at once, but Zhao Yun clasped his fists, "Yes, I will understand in the end!".Ling Hao looked at Ma Chao, wondering how Zhuge Liang would arrange him, but he heard, "Zixuan.", "Here." Ling Hao came out, "You and General Ma Chao fought together in the past, and the tacit understanding must be good. Now I order you Lead the army with the major general to surround the periphery of General Guanzhang, with a large number of people, beware of the fish that slip through the net, if you see the enemy general, you will be killed.", "Yes!" Ling Hao retreated to the team, Zhao Yun raised his eyes and looked at Ma Chao, His eyes flickered.

After leaving Liu Bei's mansion, everyone made preparations immediately. Due to orders, Ling Hao had to take Ma Chao to familiarize himself with the terrain. After all, the map was only flat, so it was safer to walk around.

It has been said that Ma Chao is impatient by nature and is the most prone to get angry, but—Ling Hao looked at Ma Chao who was observing the terrain, and couldn't help but smile. It seems that the history books are not all true.

"What are you laughing at?" Ma Chao still looked at the forest at the bottom of the mountain, but spit out these words, Ling Hao was startled, he didn't seem to be laughing... "No, it's nothing." Ling Hao coughed, and Ma Chao didn't say much. Asked, after getting familiar with the terrain of this area, he said: "Let's go, the terrain is almost there.", "Yeah.".

Although the spies reported that the enemy troops would arrive at noon tomorrow, after Liu Bei's evacuation, the huge city was empty.The soldiers were ready to go, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang climbed up and watched, waiting for news from the front line.

On the other side, Cao Ren and Cao Hong led an army of [-] as the front team, and Xu Chu led [-] armored troops to open the way, marching to Xinye in mighty force.At noon on the same day, Cao Jun came to Quewei Slope and saw a group of people and horses in front of the slope, holding the green and red flags. Xu Chu urged the horse to go forward. Liu Feng, Mi Fang, Ma Chao and Ling Hao were divided into four teams, and the green and red flags belonged to the left and right. .

Xu Chu reined in his horse and stopped the rear army. "There is an ambush ahead, the whole army should stop for now." Xu Chu sent a cavalryman to report to Cao Ren. Cao Ren looked at the green and red flags in the distance and thought: "Don't be afraid, this is just a trick of the enemy's suspicion. There is no ambush. Go ahead." Xu Chu heard that since Cao Ren said so, he did not doubt him, and urged the army to move forward.

Under Xu Chu's lead, Cao Jun was aggressive, but when he entered the woods, there was no one there.At this time the sun had already set in the west, and Xu Chu lingered in the forest.

Ling Hao, who was hiding in a high place, gestured for Liu Feng and Mi Fang to quietly retreat to the top of the mountain to prepare for falling rocks, and then whispered to Ma Chao beside him: "Meng Qi, copy the army to the bottom of Cao's army, if they retreat back, they can do it." Take precautions, tell them to go and never return." Ma Chao nodded, "What about you?" Ling Hao smiled: "Master and the lord are still on the mountain, Xu Chu is suddenly descending, we must first ensure the safety of the lord, don't Worry." Seeing Ling Hao taking out the "pistol" he had seen before, Ma Chao led the Xiliang elite soldiers down the mountain.

Ling Hao rushed to the top of the mountain, but saw Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang drinking under an umbrella, feeling uncomfortable. "Zixuan, why are you here?" Liu Bei greeted.Ling Hao said: "Everything under the mountain has been properly arranged. General Ma Chao also went to surround the rear of Cao Jun. Only the top of the mountain is insufficient. Although there are falling rocks, we must first ensure the safety of the lord." Luoshi, Cao Jun and the others are not easy to come up. Zixuan, come and sit down." Ling Hao politely declined, still standing at the Leimu Paoshi, Liu Bei did not persuade him anymore.

After waiting for a while, Cao Jun's men could already be heard neighing. Ling Hao concentrated his mind and raised his hand. All the soldiers pushed the wooden cannon stone to the predetermined position, waiting for an order. —— "Let go!" In an instant, the soldiers all let go.
