"Three Generals, it's not good!"

The scout was far away and shouted out of breath.

Zhang Fei looked at it when he heard the sound, but in order to beware of Cao's army's discovery, the soldiers in the forest did not light the torch. When he saw it, he saw nothing. He was immediately annoyed and shouted angrily: "What's wrong, say it quickly."

"Cao's army did not enter the forest at all, but withdrew its troops back."

The scout said.

"What!"

Zhang Fei was shocked.

He prepared here for a long time, and all kinds of fire-induced objects were ready, so he was waiting to attack Cao's army, but Cao's army did not come in?

He lit a torch, walked towards the scout, and grabbed the scout from the ground.

"You said Cao's army retreated?"

"Did you read it wrong?"

Zhang Fei roared angrily.

"Three generals, the young man is absolutely right. Cao's army has thousands of people and thousands of torches. He has already gone far away. The young man is not a blind man, so how could he misjudged it?"

The scout looked at the angry Zhang Fei in front of him and quickly explained tremblingly.

Bang!

Zhang Fei directly put the scout on the ground, his face was cold, and the personal guards around him couldn't help but tremble when they saw it.

"Zhuge Pifu, what kind of bullshit are you doing?"

"I'm still 100% sure."

"Bah!"

"I have been in vain for several days in this forest."

"Let's go back with me and settle the score with Zhuge Pifu."

As Zhang Fei said, he was going to take his troops out of the forest and return to the camp, and talk to Zhuge Liang carefully.

The deputy general beside him walked over and said, "General, the military advisor has a word to let you guard the forest to the death. Without orders, you must not leave easily."

"If Cao's army just left and returned, wouldn't it be a waste of the military advisor's plan?"

"this……"

Zhang Fei was stunned.

This is not impossible.

However, Zhang Fei was not too stupid. After a brief hesitation, he said, "If Cao's army saw through Zhuge Pifu's plan and knew that there was an ambush in the forest, how could he return again?"

"So, the last general is to ask about Cao's whereabouts first before talking about it."

"If Cao's army leads troops to retreat into the city, it will not be too late for us to return to the camp."

The deputy general suggested.

"It makes sense."

"In this way, I can also give some explanation in front of my elder brother, so that I won't blame me for not obeying military orders."

Zhang Fei nodded.

Then he walked over and kicked the scout who was still on the ground.

"Get up, find a few smart people, ride fast horses to check the whereabouts of Cao's army, and come back to report at any time."

"Yes, the third general, the young one will go here."

The scout ran away.

Zhang Fei put out the torches and continued to wait boredly.

Outside the forest.

Zhao Yun also rushed out. When he saw Cao's army go away, he frowned.

There was something wrong in my heart.

"Cao Hong has followed Cao Cao for many years to fight. Although he is not as good as Cao Ren, he is quite capable of leading troops."

"I can understand that he was so cautious and careful about the generals, but he didn't even send a scout to investigate and then withdrew his troops directly. This is a bit strange!"

Zhao Yun frowned and thought for a moment, his face changed.

"Cao Hongding discovered an ambush in the forest, so he was too lazy to send scouts, so he simply withdrew his troops."

"But now he has not made any contributions yet, and he has retreated. If he retreated directly to Yiling City, why should he leave the city? Wouldn't it be better to defend Yiling?"

"And Cao Hong was inspired by the military advisor today and led his troops out of the city must have a great battle with our army!"

"He then retreats. If he doesn't enter the city, then he can only..."

"not good!"

"Cao Hong wants to attack our army camp at night."

After thinking it through, Zhao Yun took a deep breath.

Although there are still 20,000 people in the camp now, most of these people have to sleep and rest, leaving only some soldiers patrol the defense and guard the night.

If Cao Hong led his troops to kill him off guard, the camp will be in danger!

after all.

After Cao Hong fought with him for a fight, there were nearly 9,000 troops left under his command.

The gap in force is not too big.

"Quick, please order someone to go back and notify General Zhang, and say that there is a change in the camp, so he can go back and support quickly."

"In addition, gather the troops that had just been dismissed and return to the camp."

"I will bring these three thousand soldiers back first, and you can do your own thing immediately."

Zhao Yun gave an order to the several deputy generals beside him, and then quickly headed towards the camp with the three thousand soldiers who were originally going to attack Cao Hong.

at this time.

Liu Bei camp.

In the central army's tent.

Neither Liu Bei nor Zhuge Liang had a rest, but were waiting for news from Zhang Fei.

"Military advisor, if this battle can eliminate the 10,000 troops brought by Cao Hong, it is best to catch Cao Hong, and in this case, Yiling can be broken."

"And all this is the military advisor's credit!"

Liu Bei said to Zhuge Liang with a smile.

"Haha, where is the lord's words? Military tactics, military power is inconsistent. Although my strategy is perfect, you must be careful of accidents!"

Zhuge Liang said gently shaking the feather fan.

"The military advisor is modest."

Liu Bei shook his head, "I saw Cao Hong chase Zilong with his own eyes. This plan must have been successful. What other accidents can happen?"

"I'm afraid that Cao Hong will not be deceived and will not enter the forest!" Zhuge Liang shook his head.

"Cao Hong was angry with the military advisor and had already been red in his eyes. He wished he could kill all our troops. When he saw Zilong's defeated army fleeing into the forest, how could he resist chasing him?" Liu Bei did not think that Cao Ren could control himself.

He knew very well that once the two armies fought, if one side was red in their eyes, it would not be so easy to control.

"No matter how much speculation and I have, it is useless, so I'd better wait patiently."

Although Zhuge Liang also felt that in this situation, not to mention Cao Hong, even if Cao Ren came, he would rush into the forest impulse.

But before the result came out, he still didn't want to make random guesses anymore.

The two of them waited.

After about half an incense stick, they suddenly heard the sound of killing not far away, and screamed in pain. The two of them stood up in shock.

"What happened?"

Liu Bei asked outside the tent in surprise.

"Lord, military advisor, it's not good. Cao Hong led his troops to attack the camp at night. Our army was unprepared and suffered heavy losses. Half of the camps ahead had been captured. Cao Hong was leading the army and came towards the camp of the lord's central army."

Outside the door.

A guard who received the news ran in and said with a panic on his face.

What!

Liu Bei's body shook, turned his head in disbelief, looked at Zhuge Liang, and then angrily shouted at the guards: "Then didn't Cao Hong go to chase Zilong? How could he lead his troops to attack the camp?"

"Also, what are the soldiers on the patrol doing? They were discovered only after Cao Hong entered the camp?"
