Chapter 1328

Liu Bei heard this and nodded slowly.

Gu Yi saw this and stood up to take his leave.

Liu Bei watched Gu Yi's departing back, a complex expression appearing on his face. He could not help but ask himself, why did he choose to follow Gu Yi initially?

Back then, they were just two young men who had just graduated from junior high school, but now they were already feudal lords famous throughout the world.

Their status and position had long surpassed that kind of simple friendship from back then. That kind of pure friendship from back then had now changed.

Liu Bei shook his head, unwilling to delve into it. He turned and sat down, opened the official document, and looked at it carefully.

After Liu Bei finished reading the official document, he immediately summoned all the strategists and began the deployment.

"This time Cao Cao is attacking Yanzhou, mainly to recover Xuzhou. Although Cao Cao's troops are not many, the strategists under Cao Cao's command are all wise and brave; I must guard against their treacherous schemes." Liu Bei handed the official document to everyone and instructed.

After the strategists looked at it, they nodded one after another in agreement.

Liu Bei also handed the letter Gu Yi left behind to everyone.

"On this letter, Gu Yi's strategy is recorded. You can study and analyze it to see if there are any loopholes or flaws." Liu Bei said.

Everyone nodded and agreed.

Gu Yi's strategy was indeed very brilliant, but the shortcomings were also very obvious, which was the lack of a ruthless streak. The strategists under Cao Cao's command were all deep-thinking and profound figures; they definitely would not do as Gu Yi said.

So this strategy would only be seen through by them.

"Liu Bei, rest assured. Since I was able to think of this strategy, I am not afraid of them seeing through it. I have full confidence that before they see through it, I will make Cao Cao return without success." Gu Yi said confidently.

Liu Bei heard this, and a smile could not help but appear on his face, saying, "In that case, I am relieved."

Gu Yi nodded.

"Liu Bei, just wait for good news in Yanzhou with peace of mind; I guarantee I will not let you down." Gu Yi said with a smile.

"Good!" Liu Bei nodded heavily.

After Gu Yi left, Liu Bei began to summon various strategists to discuss countermeasures.

"Everyone, do you all think Gu Yi's strategy is feasible?" Liu Bei looked at everyone and asked.

Everyone lowered their heads and began to think.

After a long time, one of the strategists stood up and said, "My lord, although this strategy is not bad, it is too risky. Cao Cao's troops are more than four times ours; even if we can resist them for two or three days, Cao Cao will soon catch up. If that happens, I am afraid Yanzhou will be seized back by Cao Cao."

Everyone echoed the strategist's point of view one after another.

Liu Bei heard this and said, "Everyone, I feel the same way. However, I have no choice now."

Everyone heard this and could not help but fall silent.

"My lord, I have a suggestion: we can retreat to Qingyuan Commandery first, and then hide. If Cao Cao wants to attack Qingyuan Commandery, then we will take advantage of the chaos to kill our way over and seize Qingyuan Commandery. By then, Cao Cao will inevitably be furious because of the loss of Qingyuan Commandery, and then we will have a chance to turn defeat into victory."

Liu Bei looked at that strategist and said, "I think so too. However, we simply cannot go back now! If we leave Yanzhou, then Liu Bei will not let us off, and we will definitely die."

Everyone heard this, and their faces changed greatly.

"My lord, what should we do?"
