    "Bo Zhan, Ling Ming, please get up quickly!" Liu Cong helped Ma Dai and Pang De up, "What do you two mean by this?"

    "My lord didn't know something, but Liu Bei finally released all the families of Generals Ma Dai and Pang De!" Zhang Song said with a smile, "My lord's kindness made even the iron-hearted Liu Bei change his mind!"

    "That's great!" Liu Cong was also excited after hearing this, "What about Miss Yunlu?"

    "Thanks to Lord Hongfu, everything is fine with my little sister!" Ma Dai also said happily.

    "My lord, the scouts and Tianwang camp sent news at the same time. After Liu Bei left Chengdu, he headed towards Jiaozhou!" Fazheng said, "But my subordinates thought that he should be attacking in the east and in the west, and his ultimate goal was to go to Jiangdong or Xuzhou.  But no matter which way we go, we will definitely pass through the territory of my big man, do you want to send an order to surround me?"

    Liu Cong thought for a while and shook his head, "Since Liu Bei has released Bo Zhan and Ling Ming's family members, I will not break my promise and let him leave!"

    "My lord, Liu Bei is now alone. He only took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with him, and no one else followed him!" Deng Ai said.

    "Didn't anyone else go?" Liu Cong felt a little surprised, "Didn't Zhuge Liang go too?"

    "After Zhuge Liang arrived in Guangdu, he suddenly stopped, and the five thousand soldiers and horses did not follow. Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, Jian Yong and others took their family members to Guangrou after their lord left." Li  Yan added.

    "Okay!" Liu Cong stood up immediately, "Liu Hu, order three thousand soldiers and horses and go to Guangdu!"

    "No!"

    "My lord, are three thousand troops and horses too few? Does Zhuge Liang have five thousand troops and horses?" Fazheng said.

    "If there is a war, the three thousand soldiers and horses will definitely be missing, but I am not going to attack Zhuge Liang, I am going to invite Zhuge Liang!"

    "Are you going to invite Zhuge Liang?"

    "Yes, Zhuge Liang is a great talent, how can he be buried in a county!" Liu Cong had long wanted to have a great talent in internal affairs like Zhuge Liang, but when he traveled through time, Zhuge Liang had already followed Liu Bei, and now he finally has one  How could you miss this opportunity?  "Yongnian, Jian Yong, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and others are also talented people. Go to Guangrou yourself and recruit them as officials!"

    "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will definitely fulfill their mission!"

    "My lord, Wei Yan and Pang Tong's military divisions in Guandu have been confronting Cao Cao for several days. Cao Cao has continued to increase his troops. The current strength is close to 100,000, and there are also 10,000 newly formed cavalry. Wei Yan and Pang Tong's military divisions have too few troops. Do you want to  Deploy troops from Yizhou?" Fazheng asked.

    "Xiaozhi, please discuss with Zhengfang, Shizai and others to leave some troops to stabilize Yizhou. At the same time, Xiliang is a little too empty. You should send some more troops, and the rest are ready to go north. Wait for me to leave from Guang  After everyone comes back, I will personally rush to support Guandu!"

    "No!"

    After Liu Cong left the Han Dynasty, Liu Hu had already ordered three thousand soldiers and horses and was waiting at the door. Liu Cong immediately got on his horse and led his soldiers towards Guangdu.

    Liu Bei was able to let go of the families of Ma Dai and others, not because of his conscience, but because Zhuge Liang and others put pressure on him invisibly.

    The families of Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Liu Bei and others were very grateful to Liu Cong, but on the contrary, they were dissatisfied with Liu Bei.  Under the circumstances, Liu Cong was originally going to exchange, but Liu Bei was worried that Liu Cong would be disadvantageous to him if he changed his family members, so he broke his promise and pursued him. Not only did he not intend to exchange, but he also ordered these family members to be shot.

    Although Zhang Fei and Guan Yu did not speak at that time, they also felt dissatisfied with their eldest brother Liu Bei.

    After Liu Cong led his army to leave, Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, Sun Qian and other three people were already disheartened. They followed Liu Bei from Xuzhou to Yizhou, especially Mi Zhu, who placed all their family's fate on Liu Bei.  It's because Liu Bei is the wise master in his mind.

    But what happened today, Liu Bei's performance disappointed them, or they really recognized Liu Bei's hypocrisy, so they no longer followed Liu Bei, but left silently with their family members.

    Liu Bei led five thousand soldiers and horses, and about a hundred miles away from Chengdu, Zhuge Liang proposed to release the families of Ma Dai, Pang De and others.

    How could Liu Bei agree?  When Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, Sun Qian and others were about to leave, Liu Bei had murderous intentions, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not show anger. Liu Bei pretended to be generous and did not embarrass them.  Liu Bei hated Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Pang De and others, and he never intended to let go of their families.

    But they didn¡¯t expect Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to support Zhuge Liang¡¯s suggestion.  Because their family members are Liu CongIn just a few words, they were released, and Liu Cong said that the war had nothing to do with these people. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei agreed very much.  Victory or defeat is a common thing in military affairs, and using family members as threats makes people feel shameless.

    Without the support of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei did not dare to categorically reject Zhuge Liang's opinion, but he was already very dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang in his heart.

    After the army arrived in Guangdu, Zhuge Liang was unwilling to leave anymore. He wanted to live in seclusion here with his wife Huang Yueying, away from the disputes in the world.

    But before he left, he gave Liu Bei one last idea, which was how to leave Yizhou.

    After weighing the situation, Liu Bei still adopted Zhuge Liang's advice and hurriedly left Guangdu with three hundred elite soldiers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.  The other five thousand soldiers and horses were left to Zhuge Liang.  There is no food and grass, and the more troops and horses there are in Yizhou, the more burdensome they will be.

    When Liu Cong led 3,000 soldiers and horses to the outside of Guangdu City, they saw the city gate wide open and more than a dozen soldiers at the door. They were checking the people and merchants coming in and out. When they saw Liu Cong's army approaching, they did not panic at all.  , neither running nor closing the city gate.

    "My lord, look, Zhuge Liang!" Liu Hu pointed at the top of the city and said.

    Liu Cong looked up and saw Zhuge Liang ascending to the top of the city. However, there were only two or three soldiers on top of the city. Two bookboys carried a guqin and placed it on the top of the city. Then they stood on both sides, with Zhuge Liang sitting on the top of the city.  In front of the guqin, he shook the feather fan twice, then put the feather fan aside and played the qin gently.

    The melodious sound of the piano sounded at the top of the city, and then drifted into the city with the wind.

    Liu Hu¡¯s face was full of doubts, while Liu Cong¡¯s mouth showed a smile.

    "Empty City Strategy?" Liu Cong immediately thought of the Empty City Strategy, but he didn't understand. Did Zhuge Liang set up an Empty City Strategy for himself at this time to scare him away?  Obviously not, because he only brought 3,000 troops and horses. If Zhuge Liang closed the city gate tightly, he might not be able to attack it.  What's more, with Zhuge Liang's wisdom, he could definitely guess that he was not here to attack the city.

    "Is it because you want to give up on yourself? Or do you want to see your courage?"

    No matter what Zhuge Liang's reasons were, no matter whether there was an ambush in the city, Liu Cong resolutely gave the order.

    "Enter the city!" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
