    "Second brother, why do you call me gold?!"

    Seeing Zhang Fei rushing back, Pan Feng felt calm and answered.

    "The evil thieves of Xu and Dian are extremely brave, and there is a 'ghost' Guo Fengxiao in the bandit army. We must not underestimate the enemy. Just now I saw that most of the enemy's army came to meet them. I was afraid that I would rush forward rashly, so I ordered the gold to retreat!"

    Hearing this, Zhang Fei felt regretful and shouted with a bit of resentment.

    "My brother has ruined my big job. If I don't close the army, I will definitely kill Xu Zhongkang! Now let him escape back to the stronghold, like letting a tiger return to the mountain. What a pity!"

    Pan Feng frowned and seemed not to want to argue with Zhang Fei, nor did he answer.  The two men gathered their troops and returned to Xiangyang City to report to Zhuge Liang.  When the civil and military officials heard that Zhang Fei had won, they all came to celebrate and praised Zhang Fei for his bravery.  Only Zhuge Liang sat in the high hall and asked Zhang Fei with a cold face.

    "Has General Zhang brought Xu Zhongkang's head?"

    Zhang Fei¡¯s face tightened, he bowed his head angrily and responded coldly.

    "We chased him all the way and saw that he was about to be captured and killed, but we didn't know that the thieves rescued him quickly. The second brother was afraid of being deceived and paid the money to withdraw his troops, so he has not yet been able to obtain the head of the evil thief!"

    When Zhuge Liang heard this, his face turned cold and he said reluctantly.

    "It's actually like this. According to the military order, General Zhang failed to obtain Xu Zhongkang's head. The two previous crimes have not been eliminated. Why not take advantage of the situation to pursue and kill Xu Zhongkang as soon as possible!?"

    As soon as Zhuge Liang said this, the expressions of all the civil and military officials in Jingzhou changed. Everyone secretly thought that Zhuge Liang was pushing too hard.  Mi Fang's expression condensed, and she spoke with a bit of anger.

    "When the bandit army is defeated for the first time, you must be more vigilant. If the three generals advance closely, it will be easy for the thieves to take advantage of it. Why do the military advisors need to be so aggressive!?"

    When Zhuge Liang heard this, his expression changed in the hall, he slapped the memorial table and shouted sternly.

    "How dare you!!! Mi Zifang, how dare you question my military advisor in public!!!"

    Mi Fang¡¯s expression remained unchanged, her eyes were calm and without fear, and she responded in a solemn voice.

    "Military advisor, calm down. I'm just talking about things!"

    ¡°The sword seal is here, I am the leader of an army, how dare you underestimate me!!?¡±

    Zhuge Liang pointed his finger at the sword mark, his face full of threats.  Mi Fang didn't dare to say anything when she saw this.  Zhuge Liang was so angry that he yelled at Mi Fang and beat him with a stick.  All the officials couldn't stop trying to persuade them. They all had complaints in their hearts, but they didn't dare to tell the truth.  When Zhang Fei saw this, his eyes widened and he roared angrily.

    "Zhuge Kongming, you complained that I didn't listen to your laws before, and if you want to impose more punishments, feel free to provoke me, why bother to anger others!?"

    Zhuge Liang did not answer, but looked at Zhang Fei coldly.  Zhang Fei was so angry that he gritted his teeth and seemed about to explode, as if he wanted to tear Zhuge Liang in half. Pan Feng hurriedly came to stop him secretly.  Zhang Fei suppressed his anger tightly, bit into pieces with his steel teeth, and roared.

    "I will lead the army out of the city right now. I will not return to Xiangyang City until I take Xu Zhongkang's head!!"

    After Zhang Fei finished drinking, he turned around angrily and left the hall with an angry voice, followed closely by Pan Feng.  When the civil and military officials in Jingzhou saw this, they all looked gloomy and complained.  Lin Yiji secretly watched with elation, thinking that Zhuge Liang was gradually losing people's hearts and that the day to conquer Xiangyang was just around the corner.

    It is said that Xu Chu, Dian Wei and other generals withdrew their troops and returned to the stronghold, and gathered together under Guo Jia's tent.  Xu Chu asked Guo Jia with a bit of doubt.

    "Does the military advisor really think that Zhang Yide will take the initiative to lead troops to raid and fight!?"

    Hearing this, Guo Jia smiled brilliantly and analyzed it carefully.

    "Zhang Yide has a fiery temper and has issued a military order. If he failed to kill Hu Hou today, how can he withstand Zhuge Liang's cold eyes and ridicule. If what I predict is correct, he will definitely take the initiative to lead his troops! Immediately, you will follow my plan and slowly  If you struggle with it for a few days, you will be able to kill it and get back."

    Seeing that Guo Jia was confident, Xu Chu immediately resigned with Dian Wei.

    The next day, as Guo Jia expected, Zhang Fei and Pan Feng led 20,000 troops to the foot of the mountain and came to call for battle.  Guo Jia heard that the soldiers had come to report, but he did not take the initiative to attack. He only ordered soldiers from all departments to guard the camp closely to prevent the Jingzhou army from attacking the camp.

    Zhang Fei cursed at the foot of the mountain for a long time, but still saw no response from the Wei soldiers in the stronghold on the mountain. He immediately wanted to lead his troops up the mountain to fight.  Pan Feng hurriedly reined in his horse to stop him and said in a condensed voice.

    "The enemy's stronghold is entrenched on a mountain, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Moreover, there are many people and a large number of people. If the third brother attacks hastily, he will definitely lose more than he wins. What's more, Guo Fengxiao is treacherous and scheming. Don't underestimate the enemy. The third brother should retreat first.  Set up camp nearby and plan for it soon!"

    Hearing this, Zhang Fei seemed to know that he could not make any more mistakes now. He immediately followed Pan Feng's words and withdrew his army five or six miles away and set up camp.  Wei Bing scouts went down the mountain to investigate and quickly reported to Guo Jia. Guo Jia heard that Zhang Fei was setting up camp at the foot of the mountain. His bright eyes were shining with light and he laughed loudly. Then he went to the army again.?, you can only defend according to the stronghold, and do not leave lightly.

    It was night, but it was said that Zhang Fei had created a battalion. It was already the first watch of the night, and all the troops had rested except for the patrolling troops and horses.  At this time, Zhang Fei and Pan Feng were discussing matters under the tent.

    "Now that the camp has been set down, the third brother quickly opened the advice bag given by the military advisor to see how the plan should be planned now!"

    Hearing this, Zhang Fei took out a brocade bag from his arms, opened it and looked at it.  After Zhang Fei looked at it, his face was scornful, and he laughed strangely. He handed the strategy in the bag to Pan Feng. Pan Feng raised his eyebrows and took it, with a strange expression on his face. After reading it upside down several times,  A look of confusion appeared on his face.

    "Haha!! The military advisor is really interesting. He actually taught me to drink alcohol and whip the soldiers!! It's really puzzling!! If it hadn't been agreed upon before, I would have thought that the military advisor had the intention to harm me!!"

    Pan Feng concentrated his attention and whispered.

    "Third brother, please don't make mistakes. The military advisor is extremely intelligent. How can a mortal guess what he thinks? There must be deep meaning in it. Third brother, it is better to act according to the plan."

    When Zhang Fei heard this, he also understood that Zhuge Liang's wisdom was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Moreover, Guo Fengxiao was also an unparalleled talent, so he would naturally defeat his enemy by surprise.  After Zhang Fei thought about it, he nodded heavily and acted according to his plan.

    The next day, Zhang Fei went to fight again, but there was still no movement from the Wei soldiers.  Zhang Fei ordered the soldiers to curse in every possible way. Twenty thousand Jingzhou soldiers and horses shouted at the foot of the mountain at the top of their lungs.  The waves of curses shook the mountain so much that it seemed like it was shaking.  The soldiers and horses of Jingzhou cursed each other day after day, but the Wei soldiers ignored them.  Zhang Fei had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

    The next day, Zhang Fei did the same. The Wei soldiers on the mountain remained stationary and only guarded the camp.  After several days, Zhang Fei seemed to be at his wits' end, so he drank at the foot of the mountain every day until he was extremely drunk, then sat in front of the mountain and insulted him.  Wei Bing's scouts found out and came to report Guo Jia. When Guo Jia heard the report, he showed a wild smile on his face, rode his horse to the top of the mountain, and looked down.  Guo saw Zhang Fei drinking in front of the battle, like a drunken maniac, yelling at the front of the mountain.  I also saw that Jingzhou's troops and horses were extremely lax and their formations were chaotic.  Guo Jia was very happy when he saw it, but he still didn't let the soldiers take advantage of the chaos to attack.

    It is said that Mi Fang came to reward the army and saw that Zhang Fei was actually under the enemy's stronghold, drinking all day long. The sergeants were all lax and unprepared. They were so frightened that they turned pale and quickly admonished Pan Feng.

    "The third general has always been drunk and got into trouble. The second general knows that the third general can't make any more mistakes, why doesn't he stop him!?"

    When Pan Feng heard this, he was afraid that the plan would be leaked, so he just said that he had already advised him, but Zhang Fei had a hot temper and everything was not going well, so it was difficult to stop him, so he pushed it aside casually.  When Mi Fang saw that Pan Feng indulged Zhang Fei and allowed him to drink too much, she felt very uneasy and quickly returned to Xiangyang City to report to Zhuge Liang.

    Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zhuge Liang was not moved at all, and instead ordered Mi Fang.

    "Yide actually wants to use wine to relieve his boredom. There may be no good wine in front of the army. There are many fine wines in Xiangyang. Zifang, you can load fifty jars into three carts and send them to the front of the army to drink with General Zhang."

    Mi Fang¡¯s face changed drastically after hearing this, and she quickly remonstrated.

    "In the past, the three generals often did bad things because of their greed for alcohol, and they were often in a bad mood. They would drink until they were very drunk, and would even whip the soldiers to vent their hatred. Why did the military advisor give him wine instead?"

    The more Mi Fang spoke, the louder the volume became.  In my heart, I secretly thought that Zhuge Liang wanted Zhang Fei.  Zhuge Liang saw the angry look on Mi Fang's face and immediately guessed what she was thinking, fearing that Mi Fang would misunderstand and spoil the matter.  Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes and shouted back, whispering to Mi Fang.

    "Although Kong Ming has not been with Gong Ming for a long time, doesn't Gong know what Kong Ming is like? Last time, Yide and I turned against each other, and we always argued with each other, which was really a joke. Now Yide and Guo Jia are staying away from each other at the foot of the mountain, drinking and drinking as if they are nothing.  Man, this is actually defeating Guo Fengxiao¡¯s plan!¡±

    Mi Fang's expression changed after hearing this. She also thought that the two of them were really against each other and was afraid that Zhuge Liang was cheating. There was still a bit of doubt in her eyes.  When Zhuge Liang saw this, he also thought that Mi Fang was Liu Bei's brother-in-law, and that his sister was married to Liu Bei, so there was no chance of her defecting and rebelling. He immediately revealed the entire plan in a low voice.  Mi Fang listened carefully one by one, and then she realized what she was saying and quickly handed over her hand.

    "That's it! A certain person, out of ignorance, mistakenly offended the military master's authority last time. I hope the military master will not blame you."

    Zhuge Liang had long forgotten about that incident, and laughed with Mi Fang, hoping to clear up his previous grudges. He then discussed with Mi Fang for a while, telling her not to leak the news and ruin the important matter.  Mi Fang asked in confusion after hearing this.

    "The military advisor's wisdom is astonishing, even better than that of Zhang Zifang, who prospered the Han Dynasty for three hundred years. The advisors and generals under Cao Cao were repeatedly defeated by the military advisor. Why was the military advisor so cautious in dealing with Guo Fengxiao?"

    Zhuge Liang¡¯s bright eyes that could see through all depths shone brightly and he spoke in a condensed voice.

    "Guo Fengxiao's intelligence is by no means under the radar. Moreover, this person has always been good at using strange strategies, and his thoughts are unimaginable and unpredictable. If it weren't for his master Cao Mengde, who was able to outsmart others, Guo Fengxiao would rarely be used.place.  I am afraid that the person who was known as the wisest person in the world in the past must be this person!  !  When dealing with such a person, you must not be careless at all, otherwise as long as some gaps are exposed, he will take advantage of them and break them with force, resulting in great disaster!  !  !  "

    Mi Fang¡¯s face kept changing after hearing this. According to Zhuge Liang, this Guo Fengxiao was actually a bit more powerful than Zhou Gongjin of the Eastern Wu Dynasty.  Only then did Mi Fang understand why Zhuge Liang was so cautious.

    He said that Zhang Fei was called for another day. Wei Bing responded without response.  At night, Zhang Fei drank until he was very drunk and felt quite bored.
