Bowang City faces Funiu Mountain to the north, Yinshan Mountain to the south, and Baihe River to the west. It is surrounded by hills where Funiu Mountain extends. The terrain is dangerous and it is the thoroughfare of the ancient "Xianghan Pass". It has always been a battleground for military strategists. It can be said that it is The north gate of Nanyang County.
After Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, he once thought about attacking Bowang City, but in the end he had to give up the idea because Bowang City was difficult to capture.
The location of Bowang City is very important. Even after Cao Ren was defeated, he did not touch the three thousand defenders of Bowang City and asked them to guard Bowang City tightly.
Bowang City is a small city that cannot accommodate Xiahou Dun¡¯s 50,000-strong army. Cao¡¯s 50,000-strong army is stationed outside the city, with banners standing everywhere and full of murderous intent.
Xiahou Dun stood on the city wall and saw the army stationed outside the city. He felt heroic. If he had ink in his belly like Cao Cao, he would definitely recite a poem.
"It's a pity that although Xiahou Dun was not illiterate, he was not a good poet either, so he could only laugh for a while.
"Liu Bei, let's see how you resist in front of my army." Xiahou Dun's tone was full of incomparable confidence.
"General, Liu Bei's army burned down the camp and retreated." Li Dian came to report.
In front of Bowang City, there is a force of Liu Bei, about 500 people, led by Liao Hua. They have been stationed near Bowang City for a long time to monitor Bowang City.
Because Bowang City is too close to Xinye, if troops are sent from Bowang City to raid Xinye, Xinye may be captured before it has time to react.
Now Xiahou Dun's 50,000 troops appeared, Liao Hua received Liu Bei's order and retreated with his men.
"Huh, that's expected."
Xiahou Dun said confidently and proudly: "My 50,000-strong army is here. Liu Bei's people have been afraid for a long time, and now they are fleeing in panic."
"Send the order and the whole army will be ready to set out on a day." Xiahou Dun said to Li Dian.
"Here!"
Fifty thousand well-trained troops are stationed in Bowang City, which is only more than two hundred miles away from Xinye. For Liu Bei, this is like a bright and sharp knife hanging above his head. The most terrifying thing is, I don't know what happened to the knife.
Therefore, Liu Bei has not been able to eat well or sleep well these days. He walks back and forth in Xinye City with two dark circles under his eyes every day, checking his armaments and the morale of his soldiers.
Not to mention Liu Bei, even others are like this. Zhu Huan, Shen Pei and these people are somewhat uneasy. There are more than 20,000 troops in Xinye City, but one-third of them need to be trained to be effective, so many people I felt unsure, worried about whether Xinye City could be defended.
Although it is said that defending the city has an advantage, there are too few people on his side, and one less person will die. But Cao Cao is different. Even if the 50,000 troops are gone, he can continue to mobilize 50,000 troops.
"Compared with everyone in the city who was anxious and worried, Zhuge Liang was the least worried person in Xinye City.
He works and rests on time, eats when he needs to, and sleeps when he needs to. He lives a comfortable life every day without worrying at all.
"But Zhuge Liang likes to play mysterious. He has a sense of discretion in his heart, but he just doesn't tell everyone, which will make everyone anxious.
Seeing that Xiahou Dun was about to kill him, he was still enjoying himself.
Because of Liu Bei's words "Crouching dragon and phoenix, one can settle the world" and Zhuge Liang's talents, Liu Bei has been tolerating Zhuge Liang's mystery, suppressing his curiosity, and not asking many questions.
Having endured it for more than a month now, Liu Bei finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Military advisor, what should we do about this?" Liu Bei ran to ask Zhuge Liang.
"My lord, please be patient." Zhuge Liang smiled to appease Liu Bei.
"Xiahou Dun has arrived at Bowang City."
Liu Bei cursed in his heart, but please calm down, your uncle, he said anxiously: "Why haven't the military advisors made preparations earlier?"
"Don't worry, Lord."
Zhuge Liang still smiled and said: "My subordinates are already prepared."
"I hope the military advisor can clarify my doubts."
Liu Bei was still dissatisfied. Zhuge Liang was playing mysterious, which made him extremely unhappy. But now he still needs to rely on Zhuge Liang, so Liu Bei had to suppress his discomfort and give Zhuge Liang face.
"My lord, we will know when the time comes."
Liu Bei gave Zhuge Liang face, but Zhuge Liang did not intend to give Liu Bei face and did not reveal his plan.
If it were anyone else, Liu Bei would have used his status as lord to order him, but for Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei now treats him as a treasure, so Liu Bei feels unhappy, but he has no choice but to do so.??.
The days passed like this. Xiahou Dun led an army of 50,000 troops to repair in Bowang City for about ten days, and finally began to move towards Xinye City.
After Zhuge Liang received the news, he immediately asked Liu Bei to beat the drum and gather the generals, and he was ready to take action.
Zhuge Liang looked around and saw that everyone under Liu Bei was gathered here except Fu Tong who was defending Fancheng.
Wen Youshen Pei, Jian Yong, Sun Qian. Wu included Zhu Huan, Liu Feng, Ji Ling, Chen Dao, Liu Pi, Gong Du, and Liao Hua. In addition to the weak counselors, Liu Bei's generals are very strong, which Zhuge Liang fully understands.
"Liu Feng!" Zhuge Liang began to order.
"exist!"
Liu Feng no longer dared to be disrespectful to Zhuge Liang. When he heard Zhuge Liang calling his name, he immediately stood up. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
