Chapter 497 Xu Shu eats the tips and Zhang Fei eats bean sprouts
"Back to the Prime Minister... Liu Bei's army only has 20,000 troops. It seems that he stationed himself near Xiakou early, as if he knew we would pass through Xiakou..."
"And Zhang Fei has a very loud voice. After defeating General Zhang, he once yelled on the slope..."
The soldier continued.
"What was his name?"
Cao Cao asked quickly, his tone full of anxiety.
The soldier also knew that this word had a special meaning in their army. He shrank his head and said with some embarrassment:
"I heard that Zhang Fei shouted a few times, the military advisor is powerful and the bag of advice is powerful..."
"Strategic advisor... tip bag?"
Jia Xu had a confused look on his face. What was this? Why did it sound like something their own army would shout?
Could it be...
"Is it Zhuge Liang? Did he leave any tips or tricks for Liu Bei?"
Now Cao Cao's army exploded.
The clever trick dealt a heavy blow to the enemy. This time, they deeply felt the helplessness felt by the enemies who had been plotted by Yi Xiaotian before.
A prophet?
Turning bad luck into good fortune?
These are supposed to be exclusive to them, but I didn't expect...
But here, there was only one person whose expression was somewhat indescribable.
Xu Shu suddenly asked Cao Cao for instructions, saying that he was feeling dizzy because of the defeat of the army and wanted to ask to go back to his room to rest.
Cao Cao didn't care about him in his tangle and let him leave on his own.
Xu Shu left quickly. He didn't look like a dizzy person. He clearly fled the scene.
But what’s the reason?
——
Squeak...
The door opens.
Xu Shu quickly entered his small room. He locked the door bolt and made sure that the room was not eavesdropped by others. Then he tremblingly took out a piece of paper that he had rubbed no matter how many times.
small note.
This... is naturally the clever plan he stole that Yi Xiaotian wrote down more than half a month ago.
This was also the last thing he thought he could do for Liu Bei, but he really didn't expect that his whim would actually come true today.
the reason is simple.
Xu Shu's eyes were not only shocked, but even frightened.
With trembling hands, he spread out the note and wrote only a few simple sentences on it. It seemed simple, but under today's circumstances, it seemed particularly eye-catching.
"You must march from the water, as you may be ambushed on land, and pay special attention to the area from Xiakou to Fankou. Once the Sun-Liu coalition succeeds, Liu Bei will definitely guard the land and the rear. You must not be greedy for small gains and lose the opportunity.
"
That’s it…
Xu Shu confirmed over and over again that this was written by Yi Xiaotian more than half a month ago.
But the more he thought about it, the more his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Yi Xiaotian...could this person really be a monster who predicts the future?"
"Cao Cao... Could it be that Cao Cao is a lucky person who has been blessed by God?"
There are a few more lines at the end, but they are still things that have not happened, but how can Xu Shu dare to slack off?
"Don't trust the enemy to surrender, don't connect the big ships easily... You must fight quickly. About three days after arriving at Wulin, the wind direction will change, and Wulin is downwind. If Zhou Yu attacks with fire, he will have the right time and place, and he will be invincible..."
"This is all...what is this..."
When Xu Shu saw this, he was already a little frightened. He heard footsteps suddenly coming from outside the door. His heart was beating fast. At the same time, there was no suitable place to hide the note, so he simply stuffed the note into his mouth.
outside the door…
"Yuanzhi, are you okay?"
Jia Xu frowned and had already pressed against the door, listening to the sounds in the room. Seeing that there seemed to be no strange noises in the room, he knocked on the door.
"Much better, much better...How is the Prime Minister doing? Don't be too angry. It's just a defeat..."
Xu Shu opened the door calmly and saw a suspicious Jia Xu, so he laughed twice and quickly changed the subject.
Where is Jia Xu?
In fact, he had long noticed that Xu Shu had been acting strangely, but he had no evidence. Xu Shu acted like a soulless person, and there was no flaw at all in the past few days.
After eating, he went back to his room to rest without saying a word.
But just because of this, Jia Xu became even more suspicious.
"It's good that you're fine. Don't worry about the Prime Minister. I summoned you on the Prime Minister's order to discuss the next arrangements. If everything is fine, just go over there quickly."
After Jia Xu said that, he quickly turned around and left.
Xu Shu also nodded heavily, seeming to agree with this statement.
Seeing Jia Xu leaving, he quickly swallowed hard, trying to swallow the note stuck in his throat.
He looked extremely funny while beating his chest.
However... when he finally swallowed the note, he looked up and saw an extremely gloomy face.
"ah!"
Xu Shu was so frightened that he took two steps back, while Jia Xu narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly approached him:
"Yuan Zhi, what did you eat? Could it be that you choked?"
"Ah...oh! It's dry food brought to me by my mother at home. I'm not used to eating wine and meat at the banquet, so I eat some every day when I come back..."
As he said that, Xu Shu pointed to the opened package on the bed, and there was indeed some dried food inside...
Jia Xu patted Xu Shu's shoulder and left without saying a word, leaving Xu Shu alone and stiffly standing there.
——
"Why…"
At this moment, on the deck, everyone was discussing the topographic map of Jiangdong without saying a word, but Cao Cao kept shaking his head and sighing every once in a while.
Jia Xu happened to hear Cao Cao sigh when he came:
"If...if I hadn't forgotten to take Brother Yi's tips, maybe this battle wouldn't have ended up like this..."
In fact, when we were talking just now, Xiahou Dun and others had already returned.
"Fifty thousand soldiers and horses, more than 30,000 lost...but we didn't even get Xiakou's fur...If it wasn't a disastrous defeat, even I wouldn't have the face to do so..."
Cheng Yu shook his head.
The most shameful thing was Xun You, the counselors who kept saying during the day that they would never be defeated.
After listening to Zhang Liao talk about the other party's almost perfect response, he felt that he had completely lost his face.
"Prime Minister! Today's defeat is all due to my negligence. If I hadn't mentioned to you before that we wanted to decide the outcome on land..."
"Okay, okay! Let bygones be bygones, the most important thing for us right now is to maximize our advantages in water warfare!"
Cao Cao was also upset and no longer wanted to discuss this battle. He still had a lot of soldiers and a huge advantage. How could he keep losing the battle?
He slapped his hand on the table and said to Cai Mao and Zhang Yun on the side:
"General Cai, General Zhang, since we have all arrived at the water battle, why not share your opinions? No one here is more familiar with the Jiangdong children than you two!"
