Liu Bei sat in the tent, thinking hard about good ideas, but he couldn't think of a solution.

Now we can fight but cannot fight, attack but cannot attack, and defend but cannot defend.

Staying outside Wubao is always not an option. There is a lot of food stored in Wubao, which is said to be enough for them to feed them for more than a year.

Although I still have food to eat now, if I really want to stay here for a year, I will definitely not have enough food.

These thieves must be dealt with as soon as possible, preferably within a month.

If Wubao cannot be breached after a month, he will have no choice but to retreat back to Huang County.

Liu Bei only gave himself one month.

"Li Gongcao, do you know anyone in Wubao?" Liu Bei suddenly asked.

Li Ye and Jian Yong were sitting in the tent together, but Zhou Xing, Zhang Fei and others were not there.

"No." Li Ye replied.

"Then can our people sneak into Wubao?" Liu Bei asked again.

Li Ye thought for a moment and replied: "I'm afraid not. I heard that Cong Qian is very loyal and knows almost all his subordinates. Wubao is not big, so strangers will be recognized if they sneak in. Besides, even if he can sneak in, he will be recognized."

It’s no use having a few people in.”

Liu Bei shook his head and sighed. The strategies he came up with must be useless.

"Where's the military advisor?"

Jian Yong also had a straight face at this time and responded: "Master Zhou is studying in his tent."

"Does the military advisor have no good plan?" Zhou Xing is Liu Bei's only hope now.

Jian Yong shook his head: "Probably not."

Liu Bei stopped talking and sat silently.

Jian Yong and Li Ye also sat silently, and the tent was silent.

Outside Zhang Fei's tent, a wooden figure with Lu Bu's name engraved on it was erected on the ground. Zhang Fei stood in front of the wooden figure, topless, holding a long whip in his hand, and was beating the wooden figure violently.

Several soldiers held wine jars in their hands and stood nearby watching cautiously, not daring to make the slightest sound for fear of attracting Zhang Sima's attention.

"Slave with the third surname, I will beat you to death. You took away my crotch and caused my eldest brother to lose Xuzhou. You have come to this end of the world to suffer. I will beat you to death!"

Zhang Fei roared while beating, and the whip hit the wooden figure with a "pop" sound, which made the soldiers watching tighten their faces and blink their eyes, as if every whip fell on them.<

/p>

I don’t know how long the beating lasted, maybe because he was tired, Zhang Fei threw the whip in his hand and shouted: "Bring the wine."

The soldiers hurried over and handed the wine into Zhang Fei's hand.

Zhang Fei held the jar of wine and drank several large sips, laughing and saying: "Hahaha, I feel comfortable, where is my eldest brother?"

"The general is in the commander's tent." A soldier next to him answered carefully.

"Don't panic, I listen to what Military Advisor Zhou said. If I don't hit you in the future, I will hit the fake Lu Bu." Zhang Fei pointed at the wooden figure, "When I get the chance someday, I will definitely chop off the head of the real Lu Bu.

”

Zhang Fei returned the wine jar to the soldiers, went back to the tent, put on his clothes, and came to Liu Bei's handsome tent smelling of wine.

As soon as they entered the tent, they saw Liu Bei, Jian Yong and Li Ye sitting with sad faces, no one said anything.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Fei felt something was wrong in the atmosphere and asked.

Liu Bei smelled the smell of alcohol on Zhang Fei's body and said with a stern face: "Yide, you drink so much again. How many times have I told you that drinking is not allowed in the camp, but you always don't listen."

"Hey, brother, I don't drink much, just one cup. Where is Military Advisor Zhou?"

Zhang Fei looked through the entire handsome tent, but did not see Zhou Xing.

Jian Yong said: "Master Zhou is studying in his tent. Do you have anything to do with him?"

"Like my second brother, I study all day long. I want the military advisor to come and tell my eldest brother that I should lead a thousand people to attack Wubao."

Zhang Fei said this in front of Liu Bei, making everyone dumbfounded.

In fact, he had already come to ask Liu Bei for a fight, but Liu Bei refused.

"Brother, I will definitely be able to break through Wubao. If I can't, I'll have my head chopped off!"

Zhang Fei issued a military order.

"Stop talking nonsense." Liu Bei looked a little angry.

"Hey, I won't tell you. I'll tell Military Advisor Zhou."

Zhang Fei chuckled and exited the tent, going directly to Zhou Xing.

"If you attack and capture, you must attack what you don't defend; if you defend and must consolidate, you must attack what you defend. Therefore, if you are good at attacking, the enemy will not know what you are defending; if you are good at defending, the enemy will not know what you are attacking..."

"Military advisor, military advisor."

Zhou Xing is reading "Sun Tzu's Art of War" in his tent. This is the third military book he has read after "Sima Fa" and "Six Tao".

When he heard Zhang Fei's shout, he frowned slightly, put down the book, and looked at the tent door.

Immediately, I saw Zhang Fei's huge figure entering the tent.

"Military advisor, what are you doing?"

Zhang Fei saw the scrolls on the cases in front of Zhou Xing and still asked deliberately.

"Reading."

Zhou Xing couldn't think of a way to defeat the enemy and was in a bad mood, so he said lightly.

"What book are you reading?"

Zhang Fei walked over and picked up the scroll on the case, glanced at it and put it down again.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War." Zhou Xing replied impatiently.

"The Art of War? Whose grandson?"

"Puch."

Zhou Xing couldn't help but laugh out loud, and his originally depressed mood eased a lot.

"You came to see me for something?"

"Military advisor, can you tell my elder brother that I will lead a thousand people to attack Wubao? I guarantee that Wubao will be captured. If it cannot be captured, I...I will definitely be able to do so."

Zhang Fei was very confident in this. He felt that the Wubao barrier was far not as high as those city walls. As long as he led his men to attack for a while, he would definitely be able to break into the fort.

Zhou Xing firmly rejected Zhang Fei's request: "No, we can't attack the fortress."

"Why can't we attack? Do you think I can't attack Wubao?"

Zhang Fei asked very seriously, and even felt that Zhou Xing was looking down on him, with dissatisfaction in his tone and eyes.

Zhou Xing explained: "It's not a matter of whether it can be breached, but the casualties of attacking the fort in this way will be too great. We have few soldiers and horses. If we lose hundreds or thousands of people, even if we breach the fort, it won't be worth it."

"They are unwilling to fight, and we cannot attack the fortress, so what are we going to do?"

In fact, Zhang Fei also knew that a storm would cause too many casualties, but when he saw his elder brother's sad face, he just wanted to relieve his worries.

Zhou Xing stopped answering. He didn't know what to do now. He could only wait and think of a solution.

"Military advisor, I know you are resourceful. Please think of a way quickly. As long as you can break the fort, you can do anything you want me to do."

Zhang Fei sat down opposite Zhou Xing, staring directly at him.

Zhou Xing was speechless and said: "What do you want me to think when you sit here? The solution can't be thought of at once. You go back first and I will think of the solution slowly."

"No, I'll just watch you think. If you can't figure it out, I won't leave."

Zhou Xing was helpless and stared at the other party.

"Military advisor, look at what I'm doing. Read the military book, as Sun Tzu said, and see if there's anything you can do."

Zhang Fei pointed to the book on the case and said.

Zhou Xing sat stiffly for a moment. Seeing that Zhang Fei had no intention of leaving, he had no choice but to pick up the scroll and read aloud.

"It's so insignificant that it's invisible; it's so divine that it's silent, so it can serve as a commanding officer for the enemy."

Zhou Xing paused and looked up at Zhang Fei.

The other person didn't say anything and motioned for him to continue reading.

"If you advance forward and cannot be controlled, you will be able to attack the enemy; if you retreat and cannot be pursued, you will be unable to catch up quickly. Therefore, if I want to fight, even if the enemy has high forts and deep ditches, those who have no choice but to fight me must attack them and save them. I cannot

Want to fight..."

Zhou Xing suddenly stopped, his eyes were dazed, as if he was thinking about something.

"Military advisor, continue reading." Zhang Fei urged.

"I thought about it, Cao Cao, using Cao Cao's strategy can defeat the enemy."

Zhou Xing shouted excitedly, threw the book on the table, suddenly stood up, and rushed out of the tent.

Zhang Fei was confused and sat there blankly, shouting several times: "Military Advisor, Military Advisor Zhou..."
