Although the gap was opened, the soldiers of Cao Renjun who were swarming in made Chen Dao and the others feel strong pressure, and the soldiers behind them screamed in tears.

After being called back to his senses by Chen Dao, Zhu Huan quickly calmed down, cheered up, and expanded the gap with Chen Dao.

Although Cao Ren kept commanding and ordering the soldiers to block the gap, it was useless to have the two powerful generals Zhu Huan and Chen Dao to open the way, Cao Ren's army's soldiers continued to surge up. What's more, Liu Bei's army's soldiers were looking at the big escape, and they burst out with a stronger combat power than usual.

Finally, Zhu Huan and Chen Dao escaped with them.

"call......"

After fleeing back to Xinye City with the soldiers, he breathed a long sigh. Zhu Huan felt a wave of emptiness coming from his body, feeling weak, and his body felt exhausted. It can be seen how strong his battle was in the formation just now.

At least 600 soldiers were left in the formation, and more than 200 soldiers brought by Chen Dao were left in it. Almost 1,000 soldiers were lost in an instant. Liu Bei felt so distressed that his face turned pale.

When Liu Bei saw that Cao Ren's formation was so powerful, he did not dare to send his men out to enter the formation easily. He turned his eyes to Zhuge Liang.

Chen Dao just followed Zhuge Liang's instructions to execute, easily broke into the formation, and successfully rescued Zhu Huan. The people who witnessed this scene just now no longer doubted Zhuge Liang's ability. Zhuge Liang really had a way to deal with Cao Ren's Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation.

This is not even a good match, so everyone is looking at Zhuge Liang and want to see what Zhuge Liang will do.

Zhuge Liang was not nervous when he was watched by so many people, but shook the feather fan and smiled.

When Zhu Huan saw this scene, his face was very complicated. He couldn't stand Zhuge Liang's pretentious behavior in his heart, but he had just been rescued by Zhuge Liang's sending Chen Dao, and he was embarrassed to express his contempt for Zhuge Liang at this time.

Although Zhu Huan was arrogant, he was not an ungrateful person, so he stood aside with a complicated expression and did not speak.

"Master."

Zhuge Liang spoke out and said, "Close the city gate first. Let's fight again when you choose a date."

Liu Bei was stunned, everyone was stunned. They were all waiting for Zhuge Liang to take action, wanting to see how Zhuge Liang broke Cao Ren's formation, but Zhuge Liang actually asked to close the door and not go out to fight?

"Why?" Liu Bei couldn't help asking, and the others were also full of doubts.

Is Zhuge Liang scared? Some people maliciously speculate on Zhuge Liang.

"Master."

Zhuge Liang is not the future Prime Minister Zhuge. He is just a young man who has just begun to emerge and has no absolute authority in the eyes of everyone. Therefore, Zhuge Liang cannot keep it in silence. If he wants to convince the public, he must let everyone know what he wants to do.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang explained, "Cao Ren has taken advantage now, and Cao's army is in high morale. Now attacking is not good for us. Therefore, the lord should close the city gates and slapped Cao Ren's spirit."

When Liu Bei heard this, he understood, and everyone understood it too.

Only Zhu Huan blushed and cursed Zhuge Liang in his heart. He thought Zhuge Liang was intentional and said this on purpose. Because he was defeated by Cao Ren, Cao Renjun's morale was high.

Liu Bei has now begun to obey Zhuge Liang's advice, and Zhuge Liang's proposal is very good. It would be beneficial to him without any harm. Liu Bei is naturally willing to do it.

So Liu Bei ordered on the spot to close the city gates and fight again when he chose a day.

Liu Bei did not go out to fight, Cao Ren came every day, set up a large formation every day, and then sent people to Xinye City to yell and scold. However, no matter how Cao Ren's people scolded him, Liu Bei just didn't go out of the city, which made Cao Ren, who wanted to pursue the victory, depressed.

But he had no good idea. Now he went to attack Xinye City with a tough attack, which was just a matter of seeking death, so he could only shout and scold him every day, hoping to provoke Liu Bei.

However, Liu Bei's biggest characteristic is that he is thick-skinned. Cao Ren sent someone to greet him outside the city, but he didn't care at all. Instead, his subordinates were so angry that they couldn't help but want to go out, but they were all drunk by Liu Bei. Now Liu Bei listened to Zhuge Liang and wanted to see how Zhuge Liang defeated Cao Ren.

In a blink of an eye, nearly ten days passed. Cao Ren came to challenge every day. He came to the morning and returned in the evening. The soldiers were tortured by him so much, and his morale was no longer as strong as before, but Cao Ren did not notice it.

Because he got a good news, that is, Niu Jin and his men successfully attacked Fancheng, and now Fancheng has fallen into his hands. Liu Bei was a little slower, and he was one day later than Cao Ren before receiving the news of Fancheng's fall.

"Kong Ming, what do you think?" Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang.

"Lord, our opportunity is here." After Zhuge Liang read the news, a glimmer flashed in his eyes.

"It's time to go out and defeat Cao Ren."
