    That night Meng Huo summoned all the civil and military men under his command to enter the tent for discussion.  [High quality update.] Meng Huo narrowed his evil eyes and asked in a solemn voice.

    "What do you think of Xichuan's request for peace with our army?"

    Jin Huan Sanjie snorted coldly and quickly came to the meeting.

    "From what I can see, Liu Xuande is not sincerely seeking peace. When he develops his strength and stabilizes the situation, he will send troops to regain the lost territory. Your Majesty, please do not believe his words!!"

    Meng Huo frowned when he heard this and was very unhappy, then he looked at Yong Kai, Gao Ding and Zhu Bao.  Yong Kai thought carefully for a while, then bowed and said.

    "The terrain of Yizhou is steep, making it difficult for men and horses to move. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is really a bad idea to attack by force. If the king can seize the territory without wasting a single soldier, lay down the foundation, and then slowly plan the next steps, it is actually the best idea.  Yes. According to what I saw, I should agree to make peace!"

    As soon as Yong Kai finished speaking, the unhappiness on Meng Huo's face immediately disappeared and he laughed brightly.

    "Haha!! What the public said is exactly what I want!! This matter has been decided!!"

    Meng Huo made up his mind immediately. Jinhuan Sanjie, Dong Chana and other barbarian generals tried to persuade him to no avail, so he had no choice but to respond.

    The next day, Meng Huo summoned Meng Da to see him and informed him of his decision.  Meng Da was overjoyed. After saying goodbye and retreating, he rushed back to Fushui Pass with Hua Xiong and others to resume his duties.

    A few days later, Meng Huo also led his troops to withdraw from the Yongchang realm as agreed, hoping to advance to Zitong and Brazil counties.  Meng Huo marched all the way, but because the generals guarding the various passes had already received Liu Bei's orders, they did not stop him.

    It is said that Wenhan withdrew his troops and returned to Anhan, suspending the war and allowing the soldiers of each army to rest and recuperate.  Suddenly one day, the scout Pegasus reported back and informed Wen Han that Liu Bei suddenly withdrew his troops from Fushui Pass and hoped that Shu County would retreat.  Wen Han didn't know why Liu Bei suddenly withdrew his troops, and he didn't dare to do it rashly, so he ordered his scouts to search secretly at the junction of Dongchuan and Xichuan, and report back immediately if there was any sign of trouble.  The scout received the order and followed Wenhan's instructions to explore the enemy's situation at the junction of the two rivers.

    About half a month later, Liu Bei and Meng Huo completed the handover and handed over to Zitong and Brazil counties.  Meng Huo led 30,000 barbarians to guard Zitong, and ordered Yong Kai and other Han generals to guard Brazil.  The northwest scouts found out and quickly reported to Wenhan.

    "What!!! Liu Xuande actually gave up the counties of Zitong and Brazil to the Southern Barbarians!!!"

    When Wenhan heard the report, his eyes widened with murderous intent, which was heart-stopping.  The several northwest scouts couldn't help but be frightened by the murderous aura erupting from Wenhan's body, and broke into a cold sweat.

    Li You's face was cold and his eyes were murderous, but as a counselor, Li You knew not to be emotional, so he suppressed his anger immediately and bowed to him.

    "Lord, calm down. This must be Liu Xuande's plan to drive away wolves and attack tigers! He wants to use the Southern Barbarians to resist our army. He will then take the opportunity to stabilize the situation in Yizhou. After we and the Southern Barbarians are both injured, he will then gather momentum to move! My Lord!  Don¡¯t fall into the trap and let the traitor succeed!¡±

    Wenhan's face was as dark as water dripping from his face, and his anger was rising like a volcano about to erupt.  When Cheng Gongying saw this, he was anxious to attend.

    "What the military advisor said is absolutely true. My lord, you must not ignore the overall situation due to temporary anger! Our army is currently recuperating. If we advance the army in a hurry, we may lose more than we win! What's more, our army currently has few available troops, and the Southern Barbarians are in Zitong.  , the two counties of Brazil have 50,000 troops!¡±

    Wenhan gritted his teeth suddenly, his eyes were red, and there was a crazy look in his eyes that made both Li You and Cheng Gongying tremble with fear.

    "How can we, the land of the Han Dynasty, allow foreigners to get involved!! In this case!! We can immediately send someone to notify Gongming and ask him to mobilize the 30,000 elite soldiers guarding the realm of Shangyong! In this way, our army will have enough strength to drive away the southern barbarians.  !¡±

    As soon as Wenhan said this, Li You and Cheng Gongying's expressions changed drastically.  Li You saw that Wenhan seemed to have lost his mind and hurriedly advised him.

    "Absolutely not! The four generals are guarding Shangyong Realm because they want to join forces with Cao Cao and Sun Ce to besiege Jingzhou and prevent Jingzhou soldiers and horses from entering Sichuan. If the four generals are transferred here and Zhuge Liang takes advantage of the situation to lead troops into Sichuan, what will he do?  ?¡±

    As soon as Li You finished speaking, Cheng Gongying's bright eyes flashed with shock. He suddenly realized what he was saying and hurriedly told Wen Han.

    "As the military advisor said, this is most likely Zhuge Liang's deliberate plan! He knew that his lord hated foreigners very much, so he taught Liu Bei to cede land to Liu Bei, and asked the lord to mobilize Shangyong's troops to fight fiercely with the Southern Barbarians.  You can bring troops into Sichuan to help Liu Bei quickly stabilize the situation in Yizhou, and then wait for the opportunity to take action!"

    "Hmph! Although Zhuge Liang is wiser than the monster, how could he have foreseen this! The Southern Barbarians occupied our Han territory and killed our Han people. The people of Zitong and Brazil are in dire straits. I am a Han official, how can I do that?  Just sit back and ignore it! There¡¯s no need to discuss this matter, I¡¯ve made up my mind!¡±

      Wen Han got angry, threw up his sleeves and walked into the back hall.  Li You and Cheng Gongying had never seen Wenhan become so angry, and they did not dare to persuade him.

    The land of Yizhou was devastated by the invasion of Meng Huo, the king of the Southern Barbarians.  After Meng Huo captured Zitong County, he indulged his generals and soldiers to kidnap and plunder traitors. Countless people could not bear the humiliation and fled to Guanghan or Dongchuan.  Wenhan was furious when he heard the complaints of the people in Zitong. He sent people to report to Xu Huang who was stationed in Shangyong realm.  Li You and Cheng Gongying saw the suffering of the people and no longer tried to persuade Wenhan.

    And when the war in Shu continued, Wen Han wanted to mobilize his troops and generals to drive out the southern barbarians and start another war.  Let¡¯s look at the war in Jingzhou in the Central Plains.

    By the way, when Cao Cao learned that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had secretly attacked Yu and Xuzhou, he quickly dispatched troops to rescue them.  Guo Jia led Dian Wei, Xu Chu and other generals and 50,000 elite troops to stay in Xiangyang to continue fighting Zhuge Liang.

    Zhuge Liang learned that Cao Cao had dispatched troops to Yu and Xu states for rescue, so he mobilized all the surprise troops who were ambushing in the cities and counties near Xiangyang into Xiangyang City.  In the past few days, soldiers and horses from all Jingzhou armies rushed into Xiangyang City. Cao Jun's scouts came to report one after another, which frightened all Cao Jun generals.  Guo Jia, however, seemed to have expected it and remained unmoved.

    Five or six days later, Cao Jun¡¯s scouts rushed back to the stronghold to report, and they found that at this time, there were 50,000 to 60,000 elite Jingzhou soldiers gathered in Xiangyang City!

    Guo Jiahao's eyes were as bright as a torch, and he was silent after hearing the report. Cheng Yu narrowed his soft, snake-like eyes and said in attendance.

    "Military advisor, the force of that army is huge right now, with a large number of people. In Yu's opinion, we cannot forcefully confront the enemy at the moment. And withdraw the camp twenty miles away, and wait for the king to calm down the chaos in Yu and Xuzhou, and then march forward again  !¡±

    As soon as Cheng Yu said this, Xu Chu's eyes suddenly widened and he shouted angrily.

    "No! If we withdraw from the stronghold, the Jingzhou soldiers and horses will think that our army is intimidated, which will increase the vigor of the other army. Our soldiers will also be demoralized and will be in disarray!"

    While Xu Chu was speaking, another scout suddenly came to report that General Zhang Fei of the Liu Army had led 20,000 soldiers and horses to a high mountain in the northwest corner of Xiangyang City. They were carrying out extensive construction work and were about to go down to the stronghold.

    Hearing this, Guo Jia frowned, obviously revealing Zhuge Liang's intention.

    "Zhuge Liang mobilized his troops to set up camp outside the city in order to become a force of arms. If we allow him to set up camp, our army will lose the initiative and be restrained by his army at every turn!"

    Before Guo Jia finished speaking, Xu Chu immediately answered.

    "Is this the case? The military advisor quickly sent an army to attack and prevent the stronghold from being established?"

    Xu Chu opened his huge tiger eyes, and his eyes were full of intent, and his meaning was self-evident.  Guo Jia smiled when he heard this and asked the generals under the tent.

    "Who dares to lead the army to attack the other village?"

    "Someone is willing to go!"

    Xu Chu shouted sharply and immediately asked Guo Jia for orders.  Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

    "Zhang Yide is not an ordinary person. If Huhou wants to go, how many troops will he bring?"

    "Hmph! That Zhang Yide is just an ordinary man, what ability can he have? I only need three thousand people!"

    Xu Chu snorted coldly, his eyes shone brightly, and he shouted loudly.  At this moment, Dian Wei stepped out, exuding a heart-rending wave of evil energy, and said with a wicked smile.

    "Haha! If I go, I can defeat the enemy with only one thousand cavalry, why three thousand!?"

    Xu Chu heard this harshly and became furious in the hall, and the two began to argue in front of Guo Jia.  Seeing these two evil giants arguing in front of him, Guo Jia smiled brightly and suddenly opened his mouth and laughed.

    "Both generals are the best generals in the world. They want to serve the king, so why should they argue like this? Although Zhang Fei is an ordinary man, Zhuge Liang is a man of many schemes. He must have a plan to defeat Zhang Fei. If our army makes a rash move  , it is very possible to fall into his trap.¡±

    When Xu Chu and Dian Wei heard this, they both frowned and asked in unison.

    "If that's the case, what can I do?"

    Guo Jia put on a wild smile and spoke softly.

    "If the two generals are willing to work together and listen to my deployment, I will have a plan to defeat it! But if the two generals want to argue, it will be difficult to implement the plan!"

    Hearing this, Dian Wei chuckled and said with a simple and honest smile.

    "The king said before he left that all matters in the army, big and small, will be decided by the military advisor. How dare we disobey it? Whatever the military advisor orders, Wei is willing to obey!"

    "Chu is also willing to listen to the military advisor's orders!"

    As soon as Dian Wei finished speaking, Xu Chu who was beside him also responded quickly.  After hearing this, Guo Jia's eyes narrowed, and he exuded a powerful aura and said in a concentrated voice.

    "Zhang Yide was setting up camp. Zhuge Liang expected that if our army did not want the camp to be completed, he would launch a sneak attack. Therefore, he would definitely teach Zhang Yide?Ambush outside the stronghold.  We can make a plan. At the third watch tonight, Zhong Kang will lead a light cavalry to launch a sneak attack. Be cautious. If you encounter an ambush, you cannot fight with it. So you pretend to be embarrassed and flee while looking at the mountains on the right.  Immediately I will lead the army to ambush there to respond.  As for the evil coming, you should lead a group of soldiers and horses to follow Zhongkang. When Zhongkang's soldiers and horses mount the mountain, you can detour to watch the back of his stronghold and rush forward.  When Zhang Yide leads his army to pursue Zhongkang's troops, you take advantage of the situation and set fire to the stronghold!  "

    ¡°Oh!!!¡±

    Xu Chu and Dian Wei both handed over their hands to accept the order, and then each went to mobilize the troops and horses according to the instructions.  Guo Jia's eyes were bright and clear, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth that seemed to be sure of victory.

    At the same time, on a high mountain in the northwest corner outside Xiangyang City, Zhang Fei commanded his troops to build a camp while preparing for an ambush.  Suddenly a fast horseman came and reported Zhuge Liang's military order.
