Zhang Fei felt extremely guilty and extinguished his intention to commit suicide.

At this time, Wei Yu advised Liu Bei:

"General Yide disrespects military orders, resulting in the destruction of 50,000 troops, which is subject to military law.

However, now the war is imminent, killing the general will be detrimental to the morale of the army.

It is better to put dozens of military sticks to serve as a warning and let General Zhang make meritorious contributions."

Liu Bei was just waiting for a step. After hearing what Wei Yu said, he quickly responded:

“Mr. Wei said so much.

Yide, Gu will beat you eighty military sticks and demote you to General Huwei.

Are you convinced?”

“I… convinced.

There is no problem with fighting military sticks, just let me continue to kill the Huns!"

If these eighty military sticks hit an ordinary person, they might be deadly.

But for a top expert like Zhang Fei, who is in a peerless realm, it is not a big deal at all.

The soldiers fought with all their might, and at most they could beat him to pieces.

Two days later, I will be full of vitality again.

If Zhang Fei uses internal strength to protect his body, he will not suffer any substantial damage.

After Zhang Fei was dragged down, Liu Bei said to the ministers with a headache:

"Our army originally had an army of 200,000 to fight against the Huns and had the power to fight.

But Yide has lost another 50,000 soldiers. How should we fight now?"

Sima Yi was good at forbearance and offered advice to Liu Bei:

"The Xiongnu's guided the four cities of Beidi County, Niyang, Fuping, Yiju and Lingzhou were the targets of their main strategies.

Now the Niyang has been broken, Fuping, Yiju and Lingzhou counties are only a hundred miles apart.

The lord only needs to send good generals to guard these three cities, and the three cities are swaying to each other, which is enough to prevent the Hun army from attacking.

When the winter comes, the Huns will naturally retreat if they lack supplies."

Wei Yu frowned and said:

"Although Zhongda's strategy can protect the three counties, it will not be lost.

But what should the Hun cavalry do if they spared the three counties and crossed the Yellow River to go straight to Chang'an?

Isn’t my great man in danger?”

Sima Yi explained:

“I thought of this too.

As long as a powerful general was sent to guard the Yellow River ferry, the Huns had no ships, and even if there were millions of troops, they could not cross the Yellow River.

At that time, the king will use the troops from the three counties to attack the Huns, and the enemy will be defeated!"

Wei Yu nodded:

"Zhongda is far-sighted, and I admire him."

Now is the time for the survival of the Han Dynasty, not the time for the struggle with Sima Yi.

Wei Yu and Sima Yi also abandoned their past grudges and joined forces to fight against the enemy.

Seeing that the two military advisors reached an agreement, Liu Bei spoke:

"Then the other person personally guarded Fuping and asked his second brother Guan Yu to lead a large army of 50,000 to guard Lingzhou.

As for Yiju…”

Sima Yi bowed to Liu Bei and asked for a fight:

"King, Yiju is closest to the Huns camp, so let me go to guard it myself!"

Liu Bei asked:

“Is Zhongda confident?

You need to know that guarding Yiju may need to bear the greatest pressure from the Huns."

Sima Yi said firmly:

"I will use what I have learned throughout my life so that the barbarians will not go further."

Sima Yi said this, and Liu Bei knew that he was going to fight the Huns.

Although he was reluctant to leave, Liu Bei had no choice but to respond:

"Then Gu sent Yan Xing with Zhongda.

Yan Xing has a calm personality. You two can guard the city carefully and do not have to fight with the Huns.

If the matter is not good, the military advisor will return to Fuping.

There is no military advisor alone!”

Looking at Liu Bei's sincere face, Sima Yi's nose felt sore.

He held back his tears and bowed deeply to Liu Bei and said:

"In order to repay the king's kindness, I will surely make contributions in this trip."

Yan Xing also bowed to Liu Bei with a serious expression:

"Don't worry, I will protect the military advisors in this battle!"

After arranging the candidates to guard the second city, Liu Bei continued:

“The candidates to guard the Yellow River Ferry are also very important.

Xu Gongming has the spirit of a general, so it is better to let him go..."

"Brother!"

"I, Lao Zhang, are willing to guard the Yellow River Ferry!"

Just as Liu Bei was about to give the order, Zhang Fei, who had just been beaten with eighty military sticks, walked in from outside.

Zhang Fei's body was covered in blood, and he was obviously guilty and did not use his internal breath to resist the military stick.

After hearing Zhang Fei's request for a fight, Liu Bei subconsciously wanted to refuse.

He felt that his third brother was not very reliable.

He guarded Chang'an, and Chang'an was taken away by Lu Bu.

He was sent as the vanguard, and 50,000 troops were destroyed by the hands of the Huns.

Can I really give Zhang Fei such an important position to guard the Yellow River Ferry?

Seeing Liu Bei's hesitation look, Zhang Fei said anxiously:

"Brother, I'm willing to issue a military order!

I only need three thousand soldiers to ensure that the ferry is not lost.

Let those Hun dogs not move forward!

If the Yellow River Ferry is lost, I, Lao Zhang, come to see you!"

Liu Bei thought to himself, what's the use of bringing your head to see you? When you throw the Yellow River Ferry, you even cut off your way back to Chang'an.

Even if Zhang Fei is executed, it will be useless.

At this time, Wei Yu advised Liu Bei:

"Master, let the third general guard the Yellow River Ferry."

Liu Bei frowned and said:

"Wei De, Yide is reckless, I'm afraid of him..."

Wei Yu said:

“There is only one bridge at the Yellow River Ferry.

This bridge is a pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it.

It doesn't take much wisdom to keep it.

As long as the Huns could not build large ships that crossed the river, they had to force a breakthrough from here.

General Zhang has the courage to be inappropriate, so there should be no problem in guarding this bridge."

Liu Bei thought about it, but now he doesn’t have many soldiers, so he shouldn’t have involved too much energy because a bridge is involved.

In addition to the second brother Guan Yu, the third brother Zhang Fei is the only one left in the hall with the highest martial arts value.
