After being comforted by Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei was indeed full of faith.

Yes, even if Liu Yu annexed Cao Cao and unify the entire north, his strength is almost the same as Cao Cao before the Battle of Chibi. How could he defeat Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi?

As a hero who can compete with Cao Cao, Liu Bei also has the same mentality as Cao Cao, that is, he never admits defeat and never admits defeat. At that time, he only had 15,000 soldiers and dared to block Cao Cao's army in Xinye. Even if he was defeated and fled, Changbanpo lost his son, and the two wives were killed and captured. The captured Mrs. Gan was occupied by Cao Cao in front of him in Hanjinkou, and humiliated him to the extreme. When he fled to Jiangxia, he had only more than 10,000 soldiers left. Cao Cao annexed Jingzhou and had more than 700,000 troops. He never thought of admitting defeat until he won the Red Cliff victory!

Liu Bei firmly believed that he could defeat Cao Cao until the end, but now he would have the chance to defeat Liu Yu until the end.

Thinking of defeating Liu Yu, Liu Bei paused and asked Zhuge Liang again: "Military advisor, although Liu Yu is powerful and can only fight alone, he has just experienced a great war and consumed a lot of food and grass. Our army still has the spare energy. Can we capture a land to increase the strength of the population?"

In short, I just want to see if I can take the opportunity to expand my territory and population.

Zhuge Liang thought for a while and smiled, "There is a place where the land of the land can lead the troops to try it out!"

Liu Bei was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Where is it? Could it be the three counties of Shangyong!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "No, the place Liang said is Nanyang County!"

Liu Bei's eyes lit up. In the earliest Yuan Shu period, Nanyang County was the largest county in the world with a population of nearly one million. Although he experienced many wars and was moved away by Liu Yu, the entire territory is still more than 200,000 people, and the land is rich. The population may not be as large as the three counties of Shangyong, but the degree of wealth is greater than that of Shangyong. If Nanyang County is obtained, his power will increase by nearly one-tenth, and the most important thing is to weaken Liu Yu!

Suddenly, Liu Bei said worriedly again: "I heard that the general Xu Huang, who was staying in Nanyang County, was under Liu Yu's command. When the military advisor attacked the three counties of Shangyong, he was blocked by Xu Huang. Now that he is guarding Nanyang County, is the military advisor confident of taking it?"

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and smiled, "Liang is 60% sure!"

In fact, in addition to Xu Huang, the general who stayed in Nanyang County, there were 20,000 Qin soldiers. If Zhuge Liang attacked Nanyang County, he would definitely have support from other Qin soldiers soon. Of course, Zhuge Liang was not afraid of the Qin soldiers in other counties around Nanyang County. He just needed to rush to capture Nanyang County in Chang'an City or Luoyang City to capture Nanyang County before, and Zhuge Liang had the confidence to defend it. It is estimated that there will be seven days for him to capture Nanyang County.

As for just seven days, Zhuge Liang said he was 60% sure, which was because Zhuge Liang had a strange plan in his heart.

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately agreed to Zhuge Liang to send troops.

After obtaining Liu Bei's approval, he also knew that Liu Yu's Qingyi Guard's intelligence was powerful. Zhuge Liang suddenly sent troops and only brought 60,000 Chu troops, as well as two generals, Wei Yan and Huang Zhong.

Zhuge Liang used a strange plan to attack Xinye and Fancheng and kill to Nanyang City without anyone reacting.

As soon as Xu Huang got the news and climbed the city tower, he actually saw Zhuge Liang and other Chu troops coming to the city. Xu Huang was shocked.

Sure enough, Zhuge Liang is known as a genius and the current strategist with the highest comprehensive ability. He is really underestimated at all. Zhou Yu and Lu Xun can only slightly fight Zhuge Liang, and Guo Jia Xu can join forces with him to defeat Zhuge Liang. Now he is raiding Nanyang County, which is coming in full force.

Although Xu Huang was shocked Zhuge Liang's army suddenly arrived at the city of Nanyang County, Xu Huang was not panicked.

He blocked Zhuge Liang for nearly two months in Shangyong County. He did not think that Zhuge Liang could not defeat Shangyong County, which he defended, but today he could defeat Nanyang County, which he defended.

Zhuge Liang is famous, but in recent years, the defeat of Yizhou and Shangyong County, the defeat of the former Fengfeng wanted to go north to help Cao Cao, and he was beaten back. In fact, it can be said that he lost consecutively, not much!

While Xu Huang deployed the city defense, he sent people to report to Chang'an City.

Chang'an City.

The news that Zhuge Liang suddenly sent troops to attack Nanyang County came, and Liu Yu was furious!

"Gu Gang's attack on Cao Cao was calm. He wanted to rest for a while, but he didn't expect Zhuge Liang to start a war again and wanted to take my Nanyang County!"

Guo Jia analyzed: "Zhuge Liang is a man with extraordinary strategy and strategic vision. In order to obtain land and expand his strength, he also attacked Nanyang County. In order to obtain land and expand his strength, he also eliminated the threat of our Qin army on the west side of Cao Cao. The main purpose is to connect Cao Cao on the west side and the south side. When our Qin army attacks Cao Cao again, Zhuge Liang will be more convenient to support Cao Cao."

Liu Yu nodded and said, "The analysis of filial piety is reasonable. No matter what Zhuge Liang's purpose is, he will not let him succeed. He will send reinforcements to support Nanyang County!"

There were Xu Huang and 20,000 defenders in Nanyang County, while Zhuge Liang only brought 60,000 Chu troops. Liu Yu was not worried about the mistakes in Nanyang County. However, Liu Yu also quickly sent a order to Guan Yu, who was guarding Luoyang, and Jia Xu immediately led his troops to support Nanyang County.

Luoyang.

Guan Yu and Jia Xu received the order and immediately led 50,000 Qin troops to the south from Luoyang to rescue Nanyang County.

Jia Xu pondered all the way, and walked more than a hundred miles from Luoyang and nearly three hundred miles from Nanyang County. He suddenly advised Guan Yu: "General, Zhuge Liang has many plans. He suddenly attacked Nanyang County and would be sure to break the city. The general should not stop to ensure that Nanyang County is foolproof."

Although Xu Huang had blocked Zhuge Liang in Shangyong County for nearly two months, they went south to support Nanyang County and could arrive in a few days at most. The time for Zhuge Liang to conquer Nanyang County was only seven or eight days at most. With Xu Huang's ability, he would not be unable to defend for such a few days. However, Jia Xu calculated Zhuge Liang's character and believed that Zhuge Liang must have a strange plan this time. To defeat Zhuge Liang's strange plan, he was nothing more than to stop and quickly support the city of Nanyang County.

Guan Yu frowned and said, "Zhuge Liang had only 50,000 or 60,000 Chu troops, and Xu Huang also had 20,000 defenders. In just a few days, how could he break the city? The army had fought with Cao's army several times before, conquering the city and siege the ground, and the fatigue had not yet disappeared. If he kept going to Nanyang, the soldiers would be exhausted, and they might be taken advantage of by Zhuge Liang, and they should advance slowly and safely!"

Guan Yu didn't think that Zhuge Liang could break through Nanyang County defended by Xu Huang in just a few days. In his opinion, the soldiers slowly advanced and kept their energy all the way. After reaching Nanyang County, they had the strength to fight with the Chu army and defeat Zhuge Liang. It would be even better if they could directly keep Zhuge Liang in Nanyang County in a battle...

Seeing that Guan Yu did not accept it, Jia Xu sighed secretly but stopped persuading him. Because when it comes to the discussion, what Guan Yu said makes sense.
