It was just dawn, and torches were still burning in the Han army's camp.
At this time, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves outside the camp.
Several scouts wearing Han army uniforms dismounted, took out their tokens, and quickly entered the camp.
Several scouts ran outside Liu Bei's camp and asked the soldiers keeping watch to tell Liu Bei that there was something urgent to report.
The soldiers on guard at night did not dare to be careless and woke Liu Bei immediately.
After a while, an oil lamp lit up in the camp.
Liu Bei sat cross-legged on the bed to receive the scouts who had just returned.
Several scouts came back on horseback overnight, dusty and tired, their faces full of fatigue.
Not only that, there was an anxious look in their eyes, and it was obvious that something big had happened.
Liu Bei was good at observing words and expressions.
He could tell at a glance that something was wrong and asked, "What news did you get from investigating the situation of the Shu army?"
The leading scout said: "King Han, things are a little tricky."
Liu Bei was already in a bad mood.
Seeing that the scout was procrastinating and not getting straight to the point, he immediately scolded: "I have experienced countless storms and waves.
If there is anything I can't bear, just say it."
"thump" Seeing Liu Bei's anger, several scouts quickly knelt on the ground.
Among them, the leading scout said respectfully: "Reporting to the King of Han, the Shu army has changed its direction.
They actually ran behind our army and killed them along the road our army was on."
"ah" Liu Bei exclaimed and his face turned pale.
The escape route was copied by Wang Can At this moment, Liu Bei's resentment towards Wang Can was rising again.
However, Liu Bei is also a hero of his generation, with excellent psychological quality.
He quickly regained his composure.
His face darkened and he asked coldly: "How many people know the news?"
The leading scout immediately replied: "The only ones who know are the scouts who are inquiring about the news, the others don't know."
Liu Bei narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "If any news leaks out, I will kill you all alone."
The tone was cold and chilling.
"Understanding the humble position" Several scouts who were inquiring about the news kowtowed in reply.
Their hearts were cold, but cold sweat continued to break out on their foreheads.
Liu Bei is usually kind to others, but he has been in a high position for a long time, and as a dominant monarch, it is impossible for him to be without majesty.
He suddenly became angry, and several scout soldiers were so frightened that they trembled and did not dare to move.
Liu Bei's expression changed, and he smiled again and said: "You have been tired all night, and each of you will be rewarded with five thousand coins."
"Thank you, King Han" Several scouts thanked him again and again, feeling quite happy.
Liu Bei waved his hand and ordered: "Go and rest."
"promise" Several scout soldiers lowered their heads, hunched their backs, and slowly retreated.
After several scouts left the camp, Liu Bei slapped his hand on the desk, his face livid and very angry.
He cursed Wang Can in his heart, wishing to cut Wang Can with a knife, but he still had to deal with the matter, so he shouted: "Come here, invite Military Advisor Chen."
After hearing this, the soldiers outside the camp immediately went to carry out the order.
At this time, it was still dark, but a red light had already lit up in Liu Bei's heart.
After a while, Chen Gong walked into the camp, bowed his hands and said, "I am humble Chen Gong, and I would like to pay my respects to my lord."
Liu Bei waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, sit down and talk."
Chen Gong asked: "May I ask, my lord, if the soldiers investigating Wang Can's news are back?"
Liu Bei nodded gloomily and said, "Just now, the scouts who were investigating the movements of Wang Can's army came back and reported that Wang Can's army had actually rushed to our rear and had cut off our army's retreat.
Wang Can was cunning.
Du Duan actually ran to the back without making a sound, it’s hateful, it’s really hateful.”
After a pause, Liu Bei said again: "The most hateful Cai Mao actually led his troops to retreat in the face of battle.

It's disgusting."
Both Cai Mao and Wang Can became the targets of Liu Bei's scolding.
Chen Gong was also surprised.
He didn't expect that Wang Can quietly cut off the Han army's retreat, which was powerful enough.
Chen Gong frowned slightly.
Seeing Liu Bei's indignant expression, he cupped his hands and said, "I didn't consider the possibility of being outflanked by Wang Can.
This is Chen Gong's negligence.
Please punish me, my lord."
Liu Bei waved his hand and said: "Gongtai, winning Wancheng is the most important thing at this time."
Chen Gong said: "My lord is wise, we must capture Wancheng at this time, otherwise our army will be in danger."
When Liu Bei heard what Chen Gong said, he understood that Chen Gong was trying to persuade him.
Liu Bei didn't waste any time on this issue and asked directly: "Gongtai, the wall of Wancheng is very strong.
Zhang Xiu has gathered all the troops to station in the city, making it difficult to attack.
How can Gongtai capture Wancheng?"
When Chen Gong heard this, he immediately fell into deep thought.
Judging from the situation during the siege yesterday, Zhang Xiu was well prepared.
There are food, soldiers, and sufficient equipment in the city, which has formed a solid line of defense.
Furthermore, Chen Gong believed that Zhang Xiu had surrendered to Wang Can, so Zhang Xiu had no worries and was not afraid of being surrounded by Liu Bei.
He only had to defend Wancheng.
Such Wancheng is undoubtedly a strong city.
Liu Bei saw that Chen Gong was speechless and said helplessly: "Today we announced that the soldiers who climbed the tower will be promoted to a higher rank, and the soldiers who killed Zhang Xiu will be granted the title of marquis.
This condition is not enough and does not hold enough weight.
In this case, let's relax more. , and add a few more: Any soldier who climbs the tower will be rewarded three thousand; as long as he can kill one enemy soldier, his officer will be promoted to one level; if he can kill ten enemy soldiers, his officer will be promoted to two levels; if he kills twenty enemy soldiers, his officer will be promoted to two levels; Soldier, promoted to three levels; killed fifty enemy soldiers, promoted to general."
When speaking, Liu Bei's tone was heavy and unquestionable.
After hearing this, Chen Gong gritted his teeth and seemed to have made a certain decision.
He looked at Liu Bei seriously and said in a deep voice: "My lord, in extraordinary times, extraordinary measures should be used.
There is not much time left for us.
We must capture Wancheng tomorrow before we can turn around, otherwise we have to withdraw our troops."
Liu Bei waved his hand and shouted: "We will never withdraw our troops!"
The conflict between Liu Bei and Wang Can has been around for a long time and was not just a matter of a day or two.
Although Liu Bei's army is dangerous now, Liu Bei has no intention of retreating.
He looked at Chen Gong with burning eyes and asked loudly: "Gongtai, what can you do?"
Chen Gong showed hesitation on his face, but when he saw Liu Bei's expression, he became firm again.
Finally, Chen Gong said: "My lord, in order to encourage the morale of the army, we allow the soldiers to plunder the city for three days after breaking it.
In this way, the soldiers will definitely be encouraged to attack the city.
This is more direct and more motivating to the soldiers than the promotion and reward announced by the lord." ” After hearing this, Liu Bei's expression suddenly changed.
Random looting for three days meant that Wancheng was completely destroyed.
Then, Liu Bei took a deep breath, nodded solemnly, and said, "Okay, that's it."
Chen Gong felt disappointed when he heard Liu Bei agreed, but he was relieved.
In order to defeat Wang Can, only extraordinary measures can be taken.
Liu Bei threw off the brocade robe on his body, stood up and said: "Gongtai, go and prepare.
Immediately summon all the soldiers in the camp to prepare to attack Wancheng."
As he spoke, Liu Bei began to put on clothes and armor, and then took the He picked up the double-stranded swords placed on the weapons rack and hung them on his waist.
He strode outside the camp and ordered the army to assemble.
The drums were thundering, and after the army gathered, they headed towards Wancheng again.

This time, the momentum of the Han army has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Every Han soldier seemed like a hungry wolf, with the wild nature in his heart completely unleashed.
Because Liu Bei had already conveyed an order, telling all the soldiers under his command that once the city was breached, the soldiers in the army would be allowed to plunder Wancheng for three days.
Such an opportunity is useful to every soldier.
After they break through Wancheng, they can rob women and money without restraint.
This is the effect of a soldier's original desire bursting out.
Brutal, yet direct.
Liu Bei had already risked his life to conquer Wancheng. s: update three of four;:
