System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

"Do you know how many soldiers there are in Fancheng? Sixty thousand, a full sixty thousand!"

"Tell me, how can we withdraw 60,000 troops to Xiangyang in one night?"

"In addition to the army, there are so many weapons and food supplies...ah...poof!"

Liu Biao looked at Huang Zu, who was keeping his head down and silent, and roared angrily.

In the end, he vomited blood and passed out from anger.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Quick, call the imperial physician!"

Everyone was stunned by this scene, and the hall was in chaos for a while.

Soon, Liu Biao was carried to the back house by eunuchs and maids.

Although Liu Biao was furious, the problem of Fancheng still had to be solved.

"Now that the king is unconscious, the enemy is approaching with a large army."

"General Huang, I suggest that all issues be resolved by us before the king wakes up."

Kuai Liang looked at Huang Zu and spoke.

"I'm OK."

Huang Zu nodded.

"That's okay with me too."

Both bosses said so, and Pang Shanmin, who had just taken over the family, also agreed.

"Inspector Kuai and General Huang are highly respected, and we have no objections."

The others also spoke up in agreement.

"General Huang, we have limited ships. Please immediately arrange for our troops to evacuate Fancheng. Take as many as possible."

"It is absolutely crucial that we do not inform them all at once, otherwise there will be a mutiny in the army."

Kuai Liang stroked his beard and said meaningfully.

"This general understands."

Huang Zu nodded.

Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others in the corner changed their expressions slightly.

The meaning is obvious.

What does it mean to arrange for our soldiers to evacuate Fancheng?

This me has already excluded Liu Bei and others.

You leaders can retreat, but we don’t have enough ships for your 20,000 men.

Liu Bei clenched his fists and became furious.

Zhuge Liang on the side quickly grabbed Liu Bei's arm and shook his head at him.

Out of trust in Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei endured it.

Braving the rain, they took a boat back to Fancheng overnight.

"Military Advisor, what should we do now?"

"If these soldiers are gone, the Longzhong Strategy will be difficult to achieve."

Liu Bei frowned and said with a gloomy expression.

"My lord, this is not the time to be indecisive."

"You trust me?"

Zhuge Liang said with a serious expression.

"of course."

Liu Bei nodded.

"Since you trust me, then do as I say."

"My lord, take Generals Guan and Zhang with you and have your soldiers spread the word throughout the city that the enemy is about to attack Fancheng by water."

"The only way for the lord to survive now is to create chaos."

Zhuge Liang said with a complicated expression.

Although this plan might allow Liu Bei to leave Fancheng with his troops, it would probably be unable to stop Dong's army from seizing Jingzhou.

"it is good!"

"Just do as the military advisor says."

"By the way, why don't you see Yuanzhi?"

Liu Bei nodded and was about to leave when he remembered that he hadn't seen Xu Shu all day.

"This... Liang didn't see him either."

"I will go find him, my lord, and take people to spread rumors."

Zhuge Liang was shocked and spoke quickly.

"it is good!"

Liu Bei nodded, opened the tent and rushed into the rain.

Rainy night

The rain was falling so hard that anyone walking in it would be soaked within a few minutes.

On the official road, Xu Shu, wearing a straw raincoat, drove a carriage south.

Tap——

"Yuan Zhi!"

“Yuanzhi!!”

The shouts coming from behind made Xu Shu's heart tighten.

"Xu~"

Xu Shu tightened the reins and stopped the galloping carriage.

"Son, are people chasing us?"

Xu's mother's somewhat worried voice came from the carriage.

"Don't worry, mother. The child can handle it."

Xu Shu obediently comforted his mother, then jumped off the carriage holding his sword.

On the official road, Zhuge Liang came riding a horse in a white robe, his clothes soaked by the rain.

"Kong Ming, since you knew I was going, why are you chasing me?"

Xu Shu stood in the rain, watching Zhuge Liang running towards him.

Zhuge Liang reined in his horse and dismounted, only a few steps away from Xu Shu.

"Yuanzhi, why are you leaving?"

"Didn't we agree to assist the lord in achieving great things?"

"How can I do it alone without your help?"

Zhuge Liang wiped the rain off his face and asked.

"Oh, if Jingzhou is lost, how can we talk about great cause?"
