After returning to the barracks, Zhuge Liang said to Liu Jue: "Major General, I think Liu Xuande has a lot of ambitions, and he must be prevented as soon as possible, and his strength must not be great." "

Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Jue felt a sense of absurdity in his heart, if Zhuge Liang knew that in history, he had done his best for Liu Bei, I don't know what he would think in his heart.

But now Zhuge Liang is Liu Jue's subordinate, of course, he has to consider Liu Jue everywhere.

"Don't worry, what Liu Bei is thinking in his heart, I have long been clear, if he dares to be restless, I will never be polite. Liu Jue said with a sneer.

The place of Jingzhou must and can only be his Liu Jue's, no matter who the other party is, as long as he dares to hit Jingzhou's attention, he will not show mercy.

Pang Tong groaned: "That Xu Yuanzhi's ability is not small, if he stays by Liu Bei's side to give him advice, it will be a trouble for me." "

"Xu Shu?" Liu Jue thought of Xu Shu's appearance, he really wanted to recruit Xu Shu to his subordinates, but this possibility was very small.

Soon, Liu Jue thought of the strategy Cao Cao had used, which was to seize Xu Shu's mother and force Xu Shu to leave Liu Bei's side.

Of course, this matter can't be done by Liu Jue, and most of the time Cao Cao has to be the villain.

"I'll talk about Xu Shu's matter later, and now we have to deal with Cao Ren. Liu Jue shook his head, the first thing now is to deal with Cao Ren first.

"You should have a plan a long time ago, right?" Liu Jue looked at the two with a smile.

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong looked at each other and smiled, and said, "Of course, there is no return to Cao Ren!"

Early the next morning, Liu Jue had breakfast and immediately said to Zhang Sheng: "You go and invite Liu Xuande to come over to discuss the military!"

"Whew!" Zhang Sheng replied and quickly went out.

Half an hour later, Liu Bei came over with Zhao Yun and Xu Shu.

"Uncle Liu, please take a seat!" Liu Jue invited Liu Bei and the others to sit down, while he sat on the upper seat.

After Liu Bei sat down, he immediately said to Liu Jue: "The third prince invited me over, have you already thought of a way to deal with Cao Ren?"

Liu Jue said with a smile: "I discussed it with my advisers last night, and I felt that it was really an unwise choice to defend Xinye Town, so it was better to use Xinye City as a trap to lure Cao Ren's army into being fooled." "

Liu Bei asked, "I don't know what the third prince has to do?"

"Please Uncle Liu Huang lead your soldiers and horses, lead the people of Xinye to cross the river, and take refuge in Chaoyang City in the south, while I will set a trap in Xinye City to lure Cao Ren into Xinye, and finally catch turtles in an urn. Liu Jue briefly told Liu Bei about the plan.

Liu Bei groaned, then looked at Xu Shu, and saw Xu Shu nodded, so he said: "Then please leave it to the third prince, I will immediately persuade the people to leave." "

"Then there is Uncle Lao Liuhuang. Liu Jue arched his hand and said.

"Don't dare, but the third son must be careful. Liu Bei sighed in his heart, in fact, he couldn't wait to leave Xinye in order to preserve his strength, Liu Jue was just in line with his heart.

Liu Bei soon went back, and according to what Liu Jue said, he led the people in the city to evacuate Xinye one after another, and retreated towards Chaoyang City in the south.

I have to say that Liu Bei's prestige in Xinye is still very high, but in five days, the people of Xinye were evacuated cleanly.

At this time, the spies came to report that Cao Ren's army had passed Yuyang and was not far from Xinye City.

Liu Jue called Wen Ping and said: "You lead 20,000 troops to cross the Baihe River, you must hide your whereabouts, and when I break through Cao Ren, you will lead the army north to take Wancheng." "

"Oh! Major General must be careful!" Wen Ping said and turned to leave.

After Wen Ping left, Liu Jue left 5,000 soldiers and horses to hand over to Zhuge Liang, and he, Pang Tong, Gan Ning, and Wei Yan took 10,000 soldiers and horses to the north to block Cao Ren.

Of course, this blocking attack was just for show, and as soon as Liu Jue fought him, he pretended to be defeated, so that Cao Ren would take it lightly.

......

In the camp of the Cao army, Cao Ren was dressed in armor and kneeling on the main seat, he was not yet forty years old, he was very burly, his eyes were sharp and full of confidence.

To Cao Ren's left is a middle-aged scribe, about thirty years old, who is the military advisor Jiang Ji.

Sitting on the right is Cao Hong, slightly younger than Cao Ren, who is also very burly, with a fierce face.

"Not far in front is the Magpie Tail Slope, and after here, Xinye is just a stone's throw away. Cao Ren said to the two with a smile.

Jiang Ji opened his mouth and said: "I don't know what the situation is on the Xinye side, then Liu Bei only has 10,000 soldiers and horses, and he can't defend the small city of Xinye at all." "

Cao Hong sneered and said: "If Liu Bei is interested, he should abandon the city and flee, otherwise I will definitely capture him alive to see Sikong!".

Jiang Ji shook his head and said: "When he was in Xuzhou, Cao Gong shouldn't have appeased Liu Bei, this person has a lot of ambitions, if he raises his wings, I'm afraid he will become a confidant!"

Cao Ren said with a smile: "Let's not talk about Liu Bei's problem now, I only care about Liu Biao's side now, how many troops will be sent to fight us." "

Jiang Ji groaned and said: "Liu Biao's mobilization this time must be the armies of Xiangyang and Fancheng, it is estimated that it will be about 30,000, and there will be danger if there is more Fancheng." "

Cao Hong said disdainfully: "Our army of 30,000 is all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, how can the Jiangnan soldiers be our opponents." This time it's not just Liu Bei, then Liu Jue and I will also be captured. "

"That's a good point, but you can't underestimate the enemy, so send spies to inquire about the truth first. Cao Ren said this, but the smile on his face obviously didn't take Liu Jue and Liu Bei seriously.

At this time, it was noon, and after Cao Ren's army had lunch, they continued to march forward, and after walking for about twenty miles, suddenly a spy came to report.

"Report to the general, an unknown army has been found on the hillside ahead, and it is suspected that it is an ambush laid by the enemy. The spy said.

"Ambush?".

Cao Ren narrowed his eyes, immediately ordered the army to stop advancing, and then called Cao Hong and said, "Zilian, the spy said that there was an ambush in front of him, you send someone to take a look." "

"Yes!" Cao Hong replied loudly, immediately lighting up five thousand elites and heading towards the hillside in front of him.
