Liu Bei frowned and paced back and forth in the hall. Mi Fang looked at Liu Bei carefully. Liu Bei stopped and said, "This does not mean anything!" He turned around and said, "You must not say anything like this in the future!" Mi Fang quickly agreed. Liu Bei said, "Okay. If there is nothing else, just go down." Mi Fang bowed and said, "I will leave!" Then he bowed and retreated outside the hall.

"Wait a minute!" Liu Bei suddenly called Mi Fang. Mi Fang immediately stopped and bowed to ask, "What are the instructions of lord?" Liu Bei walked to Mi Fang and said, "I thought about the battle tonight, but I finally felt that it was not appropriate. It would be better to defend the city so as not to give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it! You can send our military orders immediately, and the operation tonight will be cancelled. All the troops strictly abide by their position. Without my order, no one will be allowed to fight without authorization. Those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law!" Mi Fang was surprised, but did not dare to say more, and quickly responded and went down hurriedly.

Later, Zhuge Liang hurried to the hall, saw Liu Bei, and bowed, "Lord..." When Liu Bei saw Zhuge Liang, he immediately greeted Zhuge Liang with a smile on his face, grabbed Zhuge Liang's palm and brought him to the map, and smiled, "Kong Ming is coming! Let's discuss how to act next!" Zhuge Liang asked with his fist, "Lord, why did you order to cancel your action tonight?"

Liu Bei smiled and asked without answering, "Does Kongming think my decision is inappropriate?" Zhuge Liang said, "The lord's decision is of course reasonable! But, if the moat is not cleared, the enemy can directly attack the city wall, which is quite unfavorable to our army! This..." Liu Bei smiled and said, "What Kong Ming said is very reasonable! But did Kong Ming think that this may be what the enemy hopes! If Kong Ming's strategy of attacking the east and west is expected by the enemy, it is very possible with Guo Jia's wisdom! In this way, wouldn't our army take the initiative to enter the other party's trap?"

Zhuge Liang frowned and clasped his fists and said, "It is natural that what the lord said is possible. But there is no risk in marching and fighting. Compared with the harm caused by letting the enemy fill the moat, these risks are completely a must!..." Liu Bei raised his hand and interrupted Zhuge Liang's words, "Kong Ming! I understand what you mean! But the moat in Chang'an is wide and deep, and the enemy is not so easy to fill the river section that is enough for them to hit the city wall! Let's take a step back,

Even if the moat is filled with it, we still have a strong and tall city wall that can withstand any attacks! I don’t think we really need to take this risk!" Seeing that Zhuge Liang seemed to say something, he immediately stopped him and said, "Okay! Kong Ming! I have decided on this matter! Don’t say more! Think more about how to defeat the enemy! With Kong Ming’s wisdom and our 200,000 army, I think Kong Ming should be able to think of a plan to defeat the enemy!"

Seeing Liu Bei say this, Zhuge Liang couldn't say anything else, so he clasped his fists to promise. Liu Bei rubbed his forehead, looking a little tired, and said, "Kong Ming, I'm a little tired. If you have nothing else, go down." Zhuge Liang bowed and said, "I'll leave." Then he left the hall. Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang's departure back, frowned, and looked suspicious.

Zhuge Liang came out of the gate. Ma Su immediately met and asked strangely: "Why did sir come out so soon?" Zhuge Liang frowned and shook his head, and said: "For some reason, the lord has completely changed his previous attitude and is completely unwilling to attack! No matter how I persuade him, I can't convince the lord! We have said that the lord's worries have been mentioned before, but judging from the current situation, how can we sit and watch the enemy landfill on the moat!" He sighed, shook his head, and said to Ma Su, "Let's go back." Then, with Ma Su's support, he boarded the carriage.

At about the same time, a Qin army knight outside the city ran straight towards the city gate that Ma Su was in charge of guarding the north gate under the cover of night. However, not far outside the city, he collided with a group of Liu Bei cavalry who were patrolling here. The Qin army knights quickly turned their horses and ran wildly to escape. The Liu Bei army officer immediately roared and chased after him. The Liu Bei army officer who led the team bent his bow and arrow and fired an arrow at the back of the Qin army knight. The Qin army knight screamed and then fell off his horse! The war horse that had lost its master ran forward and soon disappeared into the night.

The cavalry of Liu Bei immediately rode his horse forward. The officer led a group of soldiers to jump off the horse and surrounded the Qin knight. Seeing the knight lying on the ground motionless, the officer walked forward carefully. He came to him and touched his body with a long knife, but he was still motionless. The officer felt that he was dead, so he immediately reached out and grabbed his shoulder and turned him over. He opened his eyes wide, his mouth and nose bleeding, and he was indeed dead.

A soldier couldn't help but say strangely: "Why did this Qin army suddenly run here alone? He doesn't look like a scout of the Qin army!"

The officer fumbled on the Qin knight, wanting to see if there was anything eye-catching. After a while, he received a white silk from the other party's arms that seemed to be full of words. It should be a letter. However, the light was dim at this moment, and it was impossible to see what was written on it. The officer folded the silk silk into his arms and shouted, "Go back!" Then everyone turned over and turned their horses and ran straight towards the east city gate. Soon after, they entered the city from the east city gate.

Some friends may feel strange when they see this. This team of patrol cavalry is just outside the North City Gate, but why do they take a detour to return to the city from the East City Gate? Isn’t it close to the city directly from the North City Gate? In fact, the reason for this is very simple, because Liu Bei, a powerful cavalry, would only hand it over to his confidants to command, so all the cavalry and scouts in Chang'an are commanded by Zhang Fei, and these patrol cavalry were also sent by Zhang Fei. At this moment, Zhang Fei was responsible for guarding the East City Gate, and the army under his command was all near the East City Gate. This team of cavalry entered through the North City Gate and had to travel through half a city to go to the East City Gate, so it would be better to run directly outside the city and return to the East City Gate to come faster.

Zhang Fei was sitting on the city gate tower at the East City Gate and drinking. When he poured a large bowl of wine, he seemed to drink water. Zhang Fei, this guy, has always been drunk, and even Liu Bei could not completely ban this.

At this time, a cavalry officer came in, folded his fists and said, "General, we are back. Kill an enemy cavalry outside the city and received a letter from him!" As he said that, he took out the white silk and presented it with his hands.

Zhang Fei felt strange and grabbed it and muttered, "What the hell is that boy Lu Bu?" As he said that, he had already unfolded the silk. Zhang Fei didn't care much at first, but when he saw it, his expression suddenly changed, and then he was furious and cursed, "Damn Zhuge Liang! How dare he collude with Lu Bu! I must kill you!" It turned out that the silk actually wrote on it: My brother Kong Ming, I feel so comforted when I received the letter. You can abandon the darkness and turn to Ming to finally protect the affection of the family! Your proposal is very good. After discussing with Fengxiao, I decided to implement it completely according to your suggestions. Wan Wang takes care of it. Lu Bu returns the pen.

The meaning of this letter is very clear, that is, Zhuge Liang has defected to Lu Bu, and the two sides have discussed what plans. Zhang Fei is a hot-hearted person. After reading such a letter, he immediately mentioned his Snake Spear and was about to kill Zhuge Liang. The generals hurriedly stopped him, and one of them said anxiously: "Three Generals, this matter should not be reckless! Or, it is better to leave it to the lord to decide!" Zhang Fei glared and shouted: "I will deal with this matter for my elder brother! Why bother with my elder brother!" As he said that, he was about to push away the general. Another general said anxiously: "Three Generals, this matter is of great importance! Moreover, as a military advisor, it is not appropriate for the third general to deal with it! Besides, just like this letter, he killed the military advisor! I am afraid that the soldiers will be unpredictable and will produce unpredictable results!"

Zhang Fei became annoyed, shouted and pushed all the generals away, and scolded, "I have my own opinions, why are you waiting!" Then he stepped out. The generals looked at each other and were at a loss. One person shouted, "General Zhao, follow the third general quickly, don't let the third general do something extraordinary! I will go to find the lord immediately!" After that, the man hurried out of the city gate tower. Seeing this, the others looked at each other, only to feel that the matter was extremely serious, so they rushed out of the city gate tower to chase Zhang Fei.

Speaking of which, Zhuge Liang returned to his residence, he sat in front of the desk and took ancient bronze coins to cover up the current situation between the two sides. His brows frowned slightly, obviously with a worried look. At this moment, a noise suddenly came from outside the door. Zhuge Liang was a little irritated and suddenly became annoyed. He looked up and shouted, "Why is it so noisy outside?" However, before the words were finished, a large circle of people rushed in! Zhang Fei was angry, looking like he was swaying, and the others followed closely behind to dissuade him. Zhuge Liang suddenly saw such a scene and was surprised.

Just as he was about to ask, Zhang Fei had already pointed at Zhuge Liang and scolded: "Zhuge Liang! You cunning and shameless village man! You dare to collude with Lu Bu to try to harm my elder brother! Today I will take off your dog's head!" Then he strode forward and kicked over the desk table in front of Zhuge Liang. The ancient bronze coins placed by Zhuge Liang on the desk table were scattered all over the floor! Zhuge Liang was shocked and angry, but for a moment he didn't know what to do.

Zhang Fei pulled out his sword and wanted to kill Zhuge Liang. Seeing this, the generals were shocked and rushed up to hurriedly hugged Zhang Fei, shouting: "Third Generals, can't be!" "The lord is here! The third generals, can't be reckless!" Zhang Fei struggled hard, but for a moment he couldn't struggle, and roared: "Get out of here! Otherwise, I will kill you together!" The generals dared not let go.
