In the long and narrow mountain road, Cao's army experienced the triple blow of fire, rolling stones and falling wood.
Only a thousand or so of the vanguard cavalry troops survived, and the infantry suffered countless casualties!
However, the opponent won the battle, and the young man on the hillside was quite irritating.
"Dad, Cao's army was defeated, and you didn't even win a game of chess! Playing chess with you is really a torture!"
Cao Hong and Xu Chu felt that they had been insinuated. The boy was not talking about Liu Bei. He was clearly insinuating that they were incompetent!
Is it easy for our Cao Jun?
There is a bloody battle on the front line, and you two are actually playing chess!
"Big-eared thief! When the Prime Minister's army comes, he will definitely take your life!"
Xu Chu was completely demoralized by the furious running of the flaming bull. This was the first time for him to be so virtuous by being killed by an ox!
"Zi Lian! Liu Bei and his son have gone too far! If I don't kill them today, I will never let go of my anger!"
Xu Chu was so angry that he suggested that Cao Hong go again.
"No! Although all the fire bulls have been killed by our army, who knows if Liu Bei still has an ambush behind him?"
Cao Hong said worriedly: "Now we have lost thousands of troops and countless people have escaped. You and I have already shouldered the guilt of defeat! If we insist on going, what should we do if we create an ambush again?"
Only then did Xu Chu remember Cao Ren's previous warning: Don't chase, don't chase, don't chase!
"Alas! Could it be that Liu Bei and his son are just laughing at us?"
"Zhongkang, please bear with the calm for a while..."
Xu Chu finally calmed down, but he heard the drunk man shouting again.
"If you want to fight, just charge over here!"
"If you want to retreat, get out of here and don't delay our army's celebration drink!"
"We fight but don't fight, and we retreat but we don't retreat. Could it be that Cao's army is all women?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Chu was so angry that his teeth itched!
This person deserves to be punished!
"Come on, there's no more ambush!"
Liu Mang dropped the chess piece, won another game, and said: "Don't chase when you should chase, and chase blindly when you shouldn't!"
Xu Chu and Cao Hong looked at each other, and they finally understood why Xiahou Dun was fooled!
What this guy said is so irritating!
"Zhongkang! It's impossible to fall into the trap! Didn't you see Xia Hou Yuanrang's defeat?"
"Don't worry, Zi Lian! I am not a reckless man like Xia Hou Yuanrang, and I will never be provoked by this guy!"
Xu Chu carried a big sword and shouted to Liu Mang: "Big-eared thief! I have discovered the treacherous plot of your father and son!"
"You want me to wait and fall? It's simply a delusion! How can a reckless man like Xiahou Dun compare to me and Zi Lian?"
Seeing Liu Bei's livid face, Xu Chu thought he had revealed what was on his mind and laughed even more proudly.
Even Cao Jun and all his troops were laughing.
Little did he know that Liu Bei was frightened by his rebellious son!
Are there any ambushes somewhere?
Pang Tongyi brought a total of 500 people and 500 cattle!
There were only about 300 soldiers who set off the fire arrows!
If the other party believed Liu Mang's words and really came to kill him, then his father and son would become prisoners of Cao's army!
Liu Mang looked calm and kept making provocative remarks.
"That big guy! He's like a wild boar! He's so big but so cowardly. It's really embarrassing!"
"Wild boar? I am the Tiger Marquis under Duke Cao! You are the wild boar!"
Xu Chu was furious when he heard this and snorted coldly: "You want to provoke us with words and let us fall into your ambush? Don't even think about it!"
Liu Mang was speechless. With Xu Chu's IQ, you are still pretending to be stupid!
"What Zhong Kang said is right! We would rather do nothing than make a mistake!"
Cao Hong and Xu Chu, the pair of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chicks, were defeated, but they were complacent because they were not further ambushed.
"If you don't fight, then don't blame me for taking action!"
Pang Tong shook the wine gourd. Xu Chu and Cao Hong looked at each other and immediately ordered their troops to retreat!
Once an alcoholic drinks, nothing good will happen!
Three sips of wine killed countless Cao soldiers!
"Come back! There really is no ambush!"
"Cunning villain, don't let me be fooled!"
Xu Chu and Cao Hong did not look back and led the remaining defeated generals to retreat.
Liu Bei's anxious heart finally settled in his stomach.
"You traitor! If it had been Cao Ren, Zhang Liao, Xia Houyuan and other generals just now, you and I would have become prisoners of Cao's army!"
Liu Bei was furious, but Pang Tong stepped forward to persuade him.
"My lord, please don't get angry, this is just a plan for the young master to suspect the enemy!"
"Then Xu Chu Shaomou and Cao Hong are mentally retarded. How can they see the reality of our army?"
"Today's battle will definitely bring Cao's army to a halt and gain opportunities for our army!"
With Pang Tong helping to speak, Liu Bei had no choice but to shake his head: "Military advisor, you just dote on him too much!"
Having said that, Liu Bei bowed and bowed. How could he easily let go of this opportunity to treat a virtuous corporal?
Then he looked at Nizi, who was whistling and had no intention of cooperating with him!
"Ahem!"
"Dad, your throat feels uncomfortable? Did you shout too loud just now?"
"You're such a traitor, why don't you come over to see Mr. Pang!"
Liu Mang had no choice but to be held down by Liu Bei and bowed to Pang Tong.
"Sir, you are a great talent! You defeated Cao's army with a fire ox. Your talent is no less than that of Zhuge's military advisor!"
"With the help of two great talents, the Han Dynasty can be prosperous!"
Liu Bei bowed again. Pang Tong was moved and hurriedly stepped forward to help him, but he heard Liu Mang speaking from the side.
"No talent and no virtue, this is quite right!"
"You traitor!"
Liu Bei was so angry that he cursed loudly, but Pang Tong had long been accustomed to the way the father and son communicated.
"My lord, I'm a little hungry for wine. Can you go back to Xinye first to celebrate?"
"That's right! Sir, please!"
"Lord, please!"
When everyone returned to Xinye, they heard about Pang Tong's ingenious plan and hoped to defeat Cao's army again. Only then did they realize that the name of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Infant was well-deserved.
"Lord, Kong Ming, I want to return to Jiangxia!"
After Pang Tong drank heavily, he said: "Sun Quan, you must be on guard! Previously Sun Quan raised troops to attack Huang Zu. If it weren't for us, he would have occupied Jiangxia and moved the people to Jiangdong."
"Now my lord and Cao's army are hunting new lands. If the rear is attacked, our army will suffer heavy losses!"
Liu Bei said worriedly: "Two military advisors, what can you do?"
Zhuge Liang looked at Pang Tong, who understood and said: "I will lead the troops in Jiangxi to guard against Soochow, and I hope that your lord will leave Gan Xingba, Li Yan, and Huo Jun in my hands!"
Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this. Strictly speaking, these three people were all people who defected to their rebellious son.
Pang Tong took the three of them with him to show his attitude. He fully recognized Liu Mang!
Even if the three of them performed meritorious service, their military medals would still be half of those of Liu Mang.
"Very good! All affairs in Jiangxia are subject to the arrangements of Military Advisor Pang!"
"Shi Yuan will live up to his mission and protect Jiangxia!"
As the three of them were talking, they saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei coming over with wine bottles.
"Mr. Pang, my two brothers would like to toast you!"
"Thank you two generals!"
Everyone was changing cups, but Liu Mang was the only one who sighed.
"What kind of wise general are you pretending to be, Xu Chu? What kind of strategy are you Cao Hong playing? A bunch of insects that cannot be helped!"
