With Guan Yu and Zhang Fei defeated and fleeing, Xia Jun took advantage of the situation and took over Zhuoxian County.

Afterwards, Xue Li and Li Jing met with their generals respectively.

After the two groups of people met, Xue Li immediately communicated with Li Jing alone about the situation in Youzhou.

The two exchanged some information with each other, and Li Jing suddenly said: "General Xue, since your majesty asked you and me to work together to capture Youzhou, then I won't hide my secret. In fact, I laid a secret chess around Liu Bei.

"

Hearing Li Jing's words, Xue Li suddenly became interested.

"General Li, please speak out."

Li Jing then told Xue Li about his arrangement.

After hearing Li Jing's plan, Xue Li praised him repeatedly.

Li Jing became humble at this time.

Immediately afterwards, Xue Li said: "General Li, this secret chess game is very important. I wonder if anyone else knows about it?"

"Except for you and me, no third person knows."

"In this case, let us carefully plan how to force the Liao and Han armies away."

Li Jing agreed very much after hearing this.

Immediately, Li Jing and Xue Li began to plan carefully.

After the two discussed for nearly an hour, they finally came up with a feasible plan.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them summoned their generals to make arrangements.

After receiving the summons, the generals quickly rushed to the Zhuoxian County Government Office.

Soon, a group of generals arrived at the county government office.

At this time, Li Jing said: "Generals, we are summoned this time to announce the plans of my commander-in-chief and Commander Xue."

Upon hearing this, the generals immediately cheered up.

"I and Commander Xue have decided to attack Jixian with all their forces in three days."

After hearing this, all the generals expressed their approval.

Later, Xue Li and Li Jing announced the adjournment of the meeting and asked all ministries to go back and prepare.

The generals were ordered to return to the military camp immediately and begin preparations for battle.

Let’s talk about Zhang Fei and Guan Yu who fled.

After the two of them led their troops to evacuate Zhuo County, they evacuated to Guangyang County one after another.

As Guan Yu and Zhang Fei met in Guangyang County, they immediately began to communicate.

After the two exchanged information, Guan Yu immediately said with emotion: "Third brother, if it is as you said, we may have fallen into a trap."

"Second brother, what should we do next? The eldest brother handed over Zhuoxian County to me, but I failed to live up to his expectations."

"Third brother, there is no need to blame yourself. The Xixia people are full of tricks and there is nothing we can do if we accidentally fall into the trap. The top priority is to inform the elder brother of the fall of Zhuoxian as soon as possible, so that the elder brother can prepare in advance."

Zhang Fei agreed very much upon hearing this.

Immediately, Guan Yu selected a capable soldier to go to Jixian to deliver the message.

After receiving the order, the soldiers immediately rushed to Jixian County.

Soon, Guan Yu's soldiers arrived in Jixian and met with Liu Bei.

Liu Bei immediately asked after seeing the soldiers beside Guan Yu.

When Guan Yu's soldiers reported the results of Zhuoxian's battle to Liu Bei, Liu Bei's heart was bleeding.

Although Liu Bei was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, he still endured it. After all, he didn't have many useful generals under his command.

After Liu Bei learned about the situation in Zhuo County, he immediately summoned military advisor Tian Feng.

Tian Feng got the urgent call and quickly started running.

Soon, Tian Feng came to Liu Bei.

When Liu Bei saw Tian Feng's arrival, he immediately informed Tian Feng of the Zhuoxian battle report.

Tian Feng was also shocked after hearing this.

When Liu Bei saw Tian Feng was stunned, he did not urge him.

When Tian Feng calmed down, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, if Zhuo County is lost, Zhuo County may not be saved."

"Yuan Hao, I understand, so I urgently called you here to see if there is any way to reverse the situation."

Tian Feng immediately began to think deeply after hearing this.

After a while, Tian Feng added: "Your Majesty, if we want to reverse the current situation, I think we may have to contact the two generals in Guangyang County."

"What do you mean by this?"

"Your Majesty, although the walls of Ji County are high and deep, the Xia army has sufficient strength. It is difficult for our army to defend one city. Only by dividing the Xixia army into two can we find a chance to reverse the situation."

Liu Bei thought about it carefully and finally thought it was feasible.

"In that case, I will contact my second and third brothers right away."

After hearing this, Tian Feng added: "Your Majesty, General Guan and General Zhang are both gentlemen. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to lead the army alone to defend Guangyang County. I propose that General Tian Yu can go to Guangyang to guard it."

Liu Bei was in a dilemma after hearing this. If he listened to Tian Feng's words, it would be obvious that he did not trust Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. This would have some impact on the relationship between their brothers, but he allowed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to continue to guard Guangzhou.

Yang County, he was also afraid that the two would take the initiative for revenge.

When Tian Feng saw that Liu Bei was in a dilemma, he didn't say anything more. After all, he was just a military advisor who could make suggestions, and he didn't need to understand the ways to control his subordinates.

Besides, Liu Bei struggled for a long time, but he still couldn't make a decision.

"Military advisor, second brother, and third brother, can't we leave one person alone?"

"If Your Majesty plans to keep these two generals, I'm afraid General Tian Yu won't be able to make the decision."

Liu Bei saw that Tian Feng was talking about this, so he finally had to be cruel.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Bei immediately summoned General Tian Yu.

After Tian Yu came to Liu Bei, Liu Bei also arranged tasks for him.

When Tian Yu learned that he would go to Guangyang to replace Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he quickly said that he did not have the ability, because once he accepted the order, he might be hated by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

After Liu Bei noticed Tian Yu's thoughts, he immediately explained.

Tian Yu really began to waver after hearing this.

Upon seeing this, Liu Bei continued to strike while the iron was hot.

In the end, Tian Yu accepted the order and came down.

After Tian Yu was handed over, Liu Bei asked him to lead a new force to Guangyang County.

Soon, Tian Yu led his troops and set off.

Guan Yu's personal soldiers had already gone back to convey Liu Bei's imperial orders to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Not long after, Guan Yu also met the soldiers who delivered the message and learned of Liu Bei's plan.

Although Guan Yu immediately noticed Liu Bei's distrust of him, the brotherly relationship between him and Liu Bei for decades would not be broken.

Immediately afterwards, Guan Yu summoned his third brother Zhang Fei to convey Liu Bei's imperial order to him.

After hearing this, Zhang Fei also noticed Liu Bei's thoughts.

Immediately, Zhang Fei complained: "Second brother, eldest brother doesn't trust us anymore! He even asked Tian Yu to come and replace us."

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense. The eldest brother has his own ideas. You and I can just do it."

When Zhang Fei saw Guan Yu scolding him, he finally agreed angrily.

Not long after, Tian Yu led his troops to Guangyang County and took over the command of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

As for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they quickly set off to return to Jixian after seeing Tian Yu.

At this time, Xue Li and Li Jing's army finally reached the foot of Guangyang County.

Immediately afterwards, the two sent generals to the city to call for formation.

Tian Yu, the chief general in the city, learned that the Xixia army was coming, but he ignored the Xia army's scoldings.

The generals outside the city yelled and cursed for a long time but did not see Kaicheng of Guangyang County. Li Jing and Xue Li had doubts in their hearts.

At this time, Xue Li asked: "Li Shuai, do you think Zhang Fei and Guan Yu can withstand our yelling and scolding?"

"Xue Shuai, I'm afraid there's something fishy about this matter. I'd better inquire about the situation first and then talk about it!"

Xue Li thought for a while and agreed.

After that, the Xia army temporarily retreated and set up camp.
