    The previous plan of alienation failed, the war was difficult, and there was nothing we could do. As a last resort, we resorted to this treacherous trick to lure our troops out of the city!  "

    As soon as Zhang Liao finished speaking, Xu Shu shook his head and said.

    "No. Zhang Yide is eager for revenge and has a hot temper. Seeing the delay in the war, he feels depressed, indulges in alcohol, and curses Zhuge Kongming. It is normal. However, our army has fallen into the enemy's trick before, so we can proceed with caution now.  , let¡¯s wait and see what happens before making a decision.¡±

    Xu Shu was very cautious, and Zhang Liao agreed upon hearing this.  Huang Zhong then ordered scouts to go to the Shu army's stronghold every night to investigate to see what was true.  For several days, Zhang Fei got drunk every day. When he was drunk, he cried and yelled at Zhuge Liang.  Zhuge Liang repeatedly tolerated it, but Zhang Fei not only refused to repent, but became even more indulgent.  On the third day, Zhang Fei made a drunken mistake and collided with Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang couldn't bear it and the generals couldn't stop him.  Zhang Fei was beaten thirty times with a stick, and the blows sounded like thunder.  Even the Tang army scouts who were snooping outside the stronghold changed their faces greatly when they heard this, and each of them felt as if this stick had hit him.

    The Tang Army scouts quickly rushed back to the city to report back.  Huang Zhong, Xu Shu and others were surprised and suspicious when they heard this.  However, Zhuge Liang was so resourceful that no one dared to be careless. After deliberation, they still decided to stand still.  After all, for Huang Zhong and others, the top priority is to ensure that Nanzheng is not lost and to resist the Shu army to prevent them from going deep into the hinterland.

    However, Xu Shu did not have any ideas. He believed that if there was fraud, the other army would definitely make the next move.  Among them, Zhang Fei may be deliberately sent to lead the army to provoke a battle, and deliberately attack the city as a bait.  Or perhaps they deliberately created the illusion that the defense in the stronghold was lax and the morale of the troops was unstable, to lure their own troops to attack.

    At that time, after Huang Zhong listened to Xu Shu's analysis, his face darkened and he asked in a condensed voice.

    "If this is not a fraud, what should Zhuge Liang do?"

    Xu Shu listened to the words, pondered for a while, his eyes were bright, and he spoke slowly.

    "Tang and Wei both attacked Shu. Now Jingzhou has been lost. Although Xichuan can be saved, but after continuous fierce battles, Shu's troops are not much left. If my prediction is correct, now Zhuge Liang has almost 30,000 troops.  The Shu army has overwhelming military strength. Zhang Yide is the general of the Shu army, and he is also the sworn brother of Liu Xuande. If Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei are really at odds, the Shu army will be at a loss to attack Nanzheng.  The war has been delayed for a long time, and the vigor of the other army has been weakened.

    Ma Mengqi is just a brave man without any plans, how can he resist the 60,000-strong army led by the King of Tang himself.  Presumably within two months, the king of Tang will be able to send reinforcements.  Zhuge Liang naturally expected from his intelligence and cautious temperament that he would immediately order the withdrawal of troops and conserve his troops.  "

    Early the next morning, the situation suddenly changed, a sudden rain came, thunder rolled, and it started to rain heavily.  The heavy rain seemed to cover the sky and the earth.  Such a sudden change was great news for Tang Jun.  It was raining so heavily that it was difficult to move. Even if a million soldiers and horses came to the city, the Tang army occupied the city and defended it, but they were not afraid!  In this way, Tang Jun could relax his tense nerves and rest for a few days.  As long as the heavy rain doesn't stop, Nanzheng will be safe and sound.

    The heavy rain continued to blow, and the thunder fell violently, like the wrath of the sky.  This heavy rain lasted for three consecutive days.  The huge amount of rain flooded everything within ten miles of Nanzheng City into a mess. When you walk on the ground, the water level can reach at least your knees if the water level is high, and it can even cover your ankles if the water level is low.

    Xu Shu, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao and other generals climbed up to the city to look at it. Seeing the scene below the city, Xu Shu pondered for a while, then suddenly his face changed, and he quickly sent a team of scouts to investigate.

    At noon, the scouts who went to investigate suddenly came to report that the Shu army had suddenly withdrawn from the stronghold, and all the troops withdrew one after another.  When Xu Shu heard this, he exclaimed.

    "As expected!"

    Huang Zhong asked hurriedly when he saw that Xu Shu seemed to have expected it.

    "How can Yuan Zhi say this!? Could it be that you had expected it?"

    Xu Shu¡¯s face darkened and he spoke in a solemn voice.

    "It has rained heavily for days, and everything within a radius of ten miles of Nanzheng City has been flooded. Although the water level is not high, it will undoubtedly be difficult to lead troops to attack the city. It will take at least five or six days for the water level to recede. Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Liang had another battle  Zhang Fei was at odds, and the morale of the army was unstable. Zhuge Liang did not want to delay the war any longer, so he withdrew his troops and made preparations for our counterattack. "

    Hearing this, Huang Zhong narrowed his eyes, held his white beard in his hands, and fell into deep thought.  According to Xu Shu's analysis, there is nothing suspicious about this matter.  Zhang Liao's injuries have now recovered. After hearing this, he was full of fighting spirit and shouted urgently in a condensed voice.

    "It turns out that Duke Xu has noticed the motive of the other army. Why not quickly mobilize the army to pursue and kill him by surprise!!?"

    When Huang Zhong heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he waved and shouted.

    "No! With that army withdrawing, the crisis in Nanzheng City has been resolved. We will guard the city to wait for the troops of the King of Tang, and then plan for the aftermath."

    Huang Zhong is extremely?Calm down.  When Zhang Liao heard this, his expression became anxious and he spoke harshly.

    "Now is a great opportunity to severely damage the other army. If we can take advantage of this to capture Zhuge Villager, and when the Tang Dynasty army arrives, we can attack Xichuan, and we will undoubtedly have something in our pocket!"

    Huang Zhong frowned, what Zhang Liao said made sense.  The war between Tang and Shu has been going on for a long time, and now Cao Wei has captured Jingzhou.  If the war in Xichuan can be ended as soon as possible, it will be a huge benefit to the Western Tang Dynasty.  Huang Zhong is hesitating.  At this time, Xu Shu's eyes suddenly burst out with bright light, and he spoke with emotion.

    "It is said that one general can achieve the goal of destroying thousands of people, let alone the grand goal of unifying the world! Since the beginning of the war between Tang and Shu, there have been nearly a hundred fierce battles, large and small. This is a great opportunity to inflict heavy damage on both sides. This opportunity cannot be missed.  I won¡¯t come again. If the war in Xichuan can be ended as soon as possible, it will be a blessing to the people of Tang and Shu. I hope General Huang will think twice!¡±

    Huang Zhong was a little surprised when he heard Xu Shu say the same thing.  Xu Shu looked calm. He explained the key points of this battle to Huang Zhong one by one.  How to choose, but Huang Zhong is the most important.  After all, Huang Zhong is the leader of the three armies.  Huang Zhong slowly closed his eyes and suddenly sighed.

    "Now is a critical moment. As the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, I really shouldn't be so forward-thinking and delay the opportunity to fight. It turns out that both Wen Yuan and Yuan Zhi have the intention to send troops, so let's make a decision!!"

    As soon as Huang Zhong said this, Zhang Liao and Xu Shu both looked happy.  The three of them discussed for a while.  Huang Zhong then sent Zhang Liao to lead 3,000 elite troops to pursue the attack, and ordered Guan Xing to lead 2,000 soldiers and horses to respond from behind.  Guan Suo led two thousand soldiers and horses to the small road to intercept and kill.  After receiving the order, everyone came out with great enthusiasm, ordered their troops and horses to rush out of Nanzheng with great momentum.

    But it is said that Zhang Liao led his troops first and urged his troops to move quickly. Suddenly, a group of people and horses rushed out from the mouth of the forest. The leader was Hua Xiong.  Hua Xiong held a dragon sword in his hand, his eyes widened, and he yelled.

    "Hua Ziwei is here! Who dares to step forward!!?"

    When Zhang Liao saw this, his eyes were cold and clear, knowing that Hua Xiong must cut off the rear here to buy time for the Shu army to withdraw.  After Zhang Liao thought about it, he drew a halberd in the sky with his hand, flew out on his horse, and said loudly.

    "Don't be so arrogant, just watch me, Zhang Wenyuan, take your head!!"

    When Hua Xiong heard this, he saw that it was Zhang Liao who was coming to kill him. His face hardened and he did not dare to neglect, so he quickly rode his horse to meet him.  The two horses met for a moment, and Zhang Liao recovered from his injuries. As soon as he came, he attacked violently. Fang Tian's halberd was like a thunderbolt, flying thorns and stabbing, and his moves were swift and fierce.  Hua Xiong twists his knife to resist, and the two weapons attack quickly, and the sound of 'Peng Peng' is endless.  Suddenly, Zhang Liao's momentum burst out, as if he was killing with the Bloody Yama Bahuang Halberd Technique. Fang Tian's painted halberd was like a surge of blood, splitting, sweeping, stabbing, gouging, picking, and slashing, with endless changes, dominating all directions.  Hua Xiong gradually couldn't resist.  Upon seeing this, Zhang Liao shouted loudly and immediately intensified his offensive.  Seeing that Hua Xiong was surrounded by dangers, at an unexpected moment, Hua Xiong's fierce light suddenly broke out, and the dragon's sword seemed to have a powerful force, and it suddenly swung away Fang Tian's painted halberd stabbed by Zhang Liao.  Hua Xiong suddenly turned from defense to attack, using all his strength to attack Zhang Liao fiercely.  Zhang Liao worked hard and stabilized his position. Fang Tian danced his halberd tightly, seeming to withstand Hua Xiong's offensive.  Hua Xiong attacked for dozens of rounds, but still failed to break through. He lacked stamina and saw that the sword style was getting chaotic.  Zhang Liao saw this and secretly gathered strength, waiting for Hua Xiong to reveal a flaw, and then broke through it with lightning speed.  Hua Xiong was also cunning, and he suddenly made a strong attack. The dragon dragon's broadsword was so powerful that it had the potential to split mountains and seas, and suddenly slashed at Zhang Liao.  Zhang Liao hurriedly moved away.  Unexpectedly, Hua Xiong's killing was a false move. He suddenly reined in his horse and retreated quickly.  When Zhang Liao saw this, he was so angry that his whole body was on fire. He cursed loudly and immediately chased after him.  Hua Xiong escaped into the crowd, and when Zhang Liao was about to arrive, arrows suddenly shot out from the Shu army.  Zhang Liao hurriedly waved his halberd and fired arrows.  The wave of arrows came so fast that even Zhang Liao was forced to retreat.  Hua Xiong took advantage of the situation and led his troops to escape quickly.  Zhang Liao's eyes were cold, he raised his halberd and shouted sharply.

    "You little bastard, don't even think about escaping!! All armies will fight with me. I will kill all the Sichuan dogs and leave no trace of their armor behind, and the blood will flow like a river!!"

    There seemed to be endless murderous intent in Zhang Liao's voice, and three thousand Tang soldiers rose up to fight, their killing cries shaking the heaven and the earth.  Hua Xiong galloped on his horse and led his troops to a small path to escape.  Heavy rains for days made it difficult to travel in the mountains, and the two armies fled one after another.  By dusk, Zhang Liao urged his army to move all the way, and saw that the distance between the two armies was shrinking.

    At this moment, a large group of troops were seen not far ahead, with flags flying all over the sky. It was the Shu army!  Zhang Liao was overjoyed and was about to charge forward.  At this time, there was a cry of killing from behind, and it was Guan Xing who arrived with his troops.  Now there is a new force arriving. If we don't rush to kill them, how long will it take?  Zhang Liao raised his halberd and shouted loudly.

    "It takes a thousand days to raise an army but only one moment to use it! If we can capture Zhuge Villager, the Kingdom of Shu will be in chaos. All the troops will obey the order and follow me to kill!!"

    After Zhang Liao finished drinking, he whipped his horse and galloped out.  The two Tang soldiers shouted in unison, with fierce momentum. Looking at the Shu soldiers in front, they rushed away in awe.  Suddenly, the sound of gunfire erupted on the mountain roads on both sides.  Only horses are seenHe led an army to fight out from the left, and Pan Ping led an army to fight out from the right. The two armies and horses came overwhelmingly.  Zhang Liao's expression changed greatly, and before he could recover, Ma Dai and Pan Ping had already led their troops to attack him.  The two Shu soldiers were like two huge spears, stabbing two huge holes in the Tang soldiers.  The Tang soldiers were unable to catch up and there was great chaos.  Hua Xiong jerked his horse, his eyes were dazzling, and he roared fiercely.

    "The bandit army has fallen into the trap!! All armies will follow me to capture Zhang Wenyuan!!"

    Hua Xiong shouted, and the Shu soldiers who had fled in embarrassment immediately turned around and flew towards the Tang army from the middle.  Hua Xiong took the lead and rushed into the rebel army with his sword. The dragon's sword danced like the wind and lightning, rushing left and right. No one dared to stop him, as if he was entering an uninhabited territory.

    Now Zhang Liao knew that he had been tricked and quickly ordered his troops to withdraw.  Suddenly, a loud sound echoed in my ears.  Hua Xiong had a ferocious look on his face and shouted hysterically.

    "Zhang Wenyuan!! Your life will definitely be taken today!!"

    Endless crisis suddenly enveloped us.  Zhang Liao turned his horse around, and there was a loud sound in the air, and the dragon's sword struck like lightning.  Zhang Liao jumped over in a hurry and narrowly avoided the attack.  Hua Xiong's horse passed by, immediately reined in the horse, turned around and started fighting again.  In such a critical moment, the more chaos there is, the faster one will die.  Zhang Liao remained calm in the face of danger and held a painted halberd to greet Hua Xiong.  Hua Xiong's pair of red tiger eyes flashed fiercely, and the dragon dragon's broadsword attacked and slashed violently, as if it was breaking a mountain.  It turns out that Cai Xiong had a fierce battle with Zhang Liao just now, but he had saved his hand. Now he fought with great momentum and became even more powerful.  Zhang Liao concentrated his energy and resisted with all his strength.  Soon enough, the two of them killed dozens of rounds in an instant. The fighting was so intense that no one from the two armies dared to approach.

    Hua Xiong attacked violently and wanted to kill Zhang Liao.  Suddenly, Zhang Liao revealed a flaw, and Hua Xiong's tiger eyes suddenly shot out two murderous auras. His whole body's aura surged, and the dragon sword in his hand was like a torrent of fire, and he shouted in his mouth.

    "Zhang Wenyuan! Accept your fate!!"
