Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms

Zhou Yu was a little hesitant at this time. He didn't want to really follow Gu Rubing's words and fight for all the foundation of Yangzhou.

And Sun Jian's current actions have made Zhou Yu a little confused.

Jiaozhou is almost entirely in his hands, so why bother about a small Cangwu County?

Is it really necessary to sacrifice the entire foundation of Yangzhou for a small Cangwu County?

Just when Zhou Yu was hesitating, Xiahou Yuan on the side immediately shouted: "Even if Yangzhou is gone, so what, there is only Yizhou, you Liu Bei, you still can't rush in."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiahou Yuan.

What? What is this? What does it mean that Yangzhou is gone?

There is nothing wrong with this statement, but now the alliance between the two families is completely forced. Once this statement comes out, won't Yangzhou become cannon fodder?

Zhou Yu, who was still hesitating, has made up his mind.

"Withdraw troops and return to camp."

"What?"

The Xiahou brothers thought they had misheard, and stared at Zhou Yu in front of them with wide eyes.

"I said retreat, can't you hear me? If you want to fight, then you Yizhou will fight by yourselves, and we Yangzhou will not participate."

After saying that, Zhou Yu walked directly to his camp without looking back.

Without the Yangzhou army, it would be impossible to take Cangwu County with the Yizhou army in his hands alone.

The Xiahou brothers looked at Gu Rubing on the city wall unwillingly, and finally had to choose to retreat.

Gu Rubing did not expect that his two words would scare away more than 100,000 coalition forces, and looked at Zhuge Liang with a proud face.

Zhuge Liang could only smile helplessly. Xiahou Yuan's words were too timely. If it weren't for Xiahou Yuan, how could Zhou Yu think too much.

"My lord is really good, Liang really admires it."

There is no way, the lord I chose can only coax myself.

Gu Rubing is still proud.

In contrast, Zhou Yu and his camp were in a quarrel.

"Zhou Gongjin, what did you mean just now? Why do you want to withdraw? Our Yizhou army has sent out so many people, so many generals, and consumed so many supplies this time. Do you think we are playing with you? You say you don't want to fight, so don't fight? Then who will bear our losses?"

Faced with Xiahou Yuan's accusation, Zhou Yu did not say anything.

Gan Ning directly took out the ancient ingot knife and pointed it at Xiahou Yuan.

"Who told you to talk to the general like this?"

"What's the matter? Let's fight?"

"Come on, who's afraid of who?"

As the two talked, they took out their weapons and prepared to fight in the camp.

"Okay, what are you doing?"

Just when the two were on the verge of a fight, Zhou Yu's voice sounded, which calmed them down instantly.

"You stay here, I'm going back to Yangzhou to see the lord. When I'm not here, you are not allowed to fight with Liu Bei. Defense is the main thing."

After that, Zhou Yu got up directly, got on the horse out of the tent, and left in a hurry.

Everyone looked at Zhou Yu's back, not knowing what had happened.

One day later.

Cao Cao, who was in Chengdu, received intelligence from the front line.

When Cao Cao saw what Xiahou Yuan said, he threw the intelligence to the ground.

"What's wrong with Miaocai? How dare you say anything?"

Xun Yu, who was standing by, came to Cao Cao's side and looked at the intelligence. His face was a little bad, but his face soon returned to normal.

"Lord, the current situation is actually completely because our alliance with Sun Jian is not reliable, so we are suspicious of each other. It is precisely because of this reason that we are at a disadvantage on both the front battlefield and the western battlefield."

"Wen Ruo, do you have a way to solve the current troubles?"

"Lord, according to the previous rules, once the alliance is consolidated, it can only be solved by marriage, but now there is no suitable candidate around you, lord. I heard that Sun Jian has a daughter named Sun Shangxiang. Do you want to consider it?"

"Sun Shangxiang? This Sun Jian's daughter, my age..."

Cao Cao said, his face turned red.

Looking at Cao Cao's expression, Xun Yu almost cursed.

"My Lord! Do you think there is a possibility that I am not talking about you, my Lord, but your son Cao Zhang?"

"Ah?... Ah, Zhang'er is of the right age. We can find someone to go to Yangzhou to talk to Sun Jian about this matter."

Cao Cao smiled awkwardly and immediately sent someone to Yangzhou.

Gu Rubing was happy at first when he heard the news that Zhou Yu had left, but soon fell into a dilemma.

Without the allied camp commanded by Zhou Yu, the defense capability must have declined a lot, but they should have rested now. The continuous battles had already destroyed what they had recovered during the previous one-month truce, and even now the three parties were starting to compete for their foundation.

Generally, when such a difficult choice occurred, Gu Rubing would go to Zhuge Liang first.

At this time, Zhuge Liang had already received the news and had begun to arrange the next action.

When he saw Gu Rubing coming, Zhuge Liang immediately stepped forward.

"My lord, I have given the order. Zhou Yu is not in the camp. This is a good opportunity for us."

"Prime Minister, the enemy has more than 100,000 people, and we only have this few people. The defense is okay, but if we really take the initiative to attack, will there be problems?"

"'Don't worry, my lord, I naturally have a plan.'"

Late at night.

Zhang Liao quietly left the city with the Iron Pagoda.

A group of people gathered in the coalition camp.

"What's wrong with you Yizhou Army? You are asked to patrol the camp, so you are responsible for your own people. Isn't our Yangzhou Army a military camp?"

"Huang Gai, I don't like what you said. Didn't we agree to be responsible for our own people?"

"After so many battles, our Yangzhou Army is short of troops. Don't you know?"

The two groups kept arguing. Without Zhou Yu's pressure, neither side would give in to the other.

At this time, there was complete chaos outside the camp.

Zhang Liao had already rushed into the coalition camp with 500 Iron Pagodas.

A soldier rushed into the camp with blood all over his face.

"Generals, it's bad. Something happened. Zhang Liao brought people in to kill."

"Zhang Liao? How many people, who are they?"

"We only saw Zhang Liao and the Iron Pagoda."

After hearing this, the Xiahou brothers rushed out of the tent and rushed towards Zhang Liao.

With the bonus of the fight to the death, the Iron Buddha rushed into the coalition camp and hardly met any opponents. No one could stop them.

"Zhang Liao, since you are here, don't leave."

Xiahou Yuan said, and rushed up directly, followed by Xiahou Dun.

Huang Gai looked at the chaotic scene and frowned slightly.

"Where are the young master and the others? Why can't I see anyone? The camp is so chaotic, why don't they take action?"

"Reply to the general, the young master was led away by the other side's Guan Yu and others before Zhang Liao and the others came."

"Fell into the trap."

Huang Gai immediately realized that this was the opponent's chain trap.

Under the two pincer attacks of the Xiahou brothers, Zhang Liao could not hold on for long.

Looking at the coalition camp, he had already suffered a lot.

Zhang Liao led people to evacuate.

"Want to leave? Do you really think this is your home?"

Xiahou brothers, led people to chase out directly.

Huang Gai wanted to stop him, but the camp must be guarded.

He could only watch the Xiahou brothers rush out.

Huang Gai thought about it and felt something was wrong. For safety reasons, he let Gan Ning follow with 10,000 Yangzhou troops.

Zhang Liao led his men to run for a while and stopped.

Xiahou brothers, with 10,000 people chasing after him, saw Zhang Liao stop, Xiahou brothers rushed up without saying a word.

At this moment, countless people rushed out from both sides, led by Zhang Ren and Pang De.

Seeing this, Xiahou brothers immediately reacted and turned around and ran.

"Want to leave now? It's too late."

As Zhang Liao's voice fell, a group of soldiers and horses appeared behind Xiahou brothers, and Zhang He led 10,000 Taishan tiger bandits to surround them.

"It's over, something went wrong this time."

After Xiahou Yuan finished speaking, he gritted his teeth and led his men to rush towards Zhang He.

However, the two led ordinary cavalry, how could they be the opponents of Taishan tiger bandits? As soon as the two sides fought, the gap immediately came out.

In just one round, only 8,000 of the 10,000 cavalrymen were left.

The most important thing is that no one rushed out.

The encirclement moved quickly, closing the crack that the two had finally managed to break through.

Just as Zhang Liao and his men were preparing to encircle them, there was some commotion behind the Taishan Tiger Bandits.

Gan Ning led 10,000 Yangzhou troops and launched an offensive behind the Taishan Tiger Bandits.

Because the Taishan Tiger Bandits did not remember to defend, the encirclement was immediately opened.

"Go quickly."

Gan Ning's voice sounded.

After hearing this, the Xiahou brothers began to command their men to launch a fierce attack on the Taishan Tiger Bandits, and finally the Taishan Tiger Bandits' formation was completely torn apart.

Seeing the Xiahou brothers running away, Zhang Liao wanted to chase them, but was stopped by Zhang He.

"Wenyuan, don't worry, don't forget that the Prime Minister has other preparations, Gongyi, you go."

Zhang Ren nodded and rushed over with the remaining Taishan Tiger Bandits.

Huang Gai has been tidying up the camp since Gan Ning left.

At this moment, another group of people rushed in from outside.

The leader was the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun led by Wei Yan, and 40,000 Taishan Tiger Bandits.

The combat effectiveness of the Taishan Tiger Bandits far exceeded that of ordinary soldiers.

After entering the coalition camp, the two sides immediately fought.

But the coalition never dreamed that Liu Bei would have two night attacks, and the time of the two night attacks was so close. Huang Gai was not ready yet, and Wei Yan led his men to kill.

Huang Gai had no choice but to lead his men to meet him.

Huang Gai and Wei Yan were both famous generals. Although they were not as strong as Wei Yan, they could not be defeated in a short time.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Xu Huang rushed over with the Yizhou Army.

With the support of the Yizhou Army, the Yangzhou Army finally stabilized its position.

Wei Yan did not stop when he saw this, and turned around and left.

Huang Gai wanted to chase him, but when he thought of the safety of the camp, he finally gave up.

After the Xiahou brothers came back, they saw the dilapidated state of the camp and immediately became furious. They gathered their troops and prepared to rush out and catch up with Wei Yan to fight to the death.

But just as the Xiahou brothers were about to rush out, they were stopped by Huang Gai.

"We can't go any further. We have already suffered a lot of losses. If we chase them out, we don't know how many of them will survive."

Hearing this, the Xiahou brothers hesitated for a while, but finally gave up.

Wei Yan ran slowly for a long time, but still did not see any signs of someone chasing him out.

Just as he was about to go back, Zhang Ren rushed over.

"Wen Chang, have you forgotten what the Prime Minister said? If the other party doesn't chase us out, forget it. It's already dawn, and it might be dangerous to go there."

Wei Yan nodded and returned to the city with a little disappointment.

Seeing that all the people sent out had returned, Zhuge Liang knew without even looking who had gained how much.

Only Wei Yan lowered his head and said nothing, looking very depressed.

"Wen Chang, don't worry, this is just the beginning, you will definitely gain something tomorrow night."

Hearing what Zhuge Liang said, Wei Yan nodded.

Huang Gai counted the number of people. The Yangzhou army originally had 100,000 people. After these several battles, plus the sneak attack tonight, the Yangzhou army only had 50,000 people left, while the Yizhou army was in much better condition, with 70,000 people left.

The 200,000-strong army now only had 120,000 people in battle.

You know, these 100,000 people are the last people in Yangzhou. If these 100,000 people are killed, there will be no more men in Yangzhou. What will happen to Yangzhou in the future? It is not a city, but one of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty. If it is really gone, wouldn’t it become a joke?

Huang Gai became more and more afraid, so he simply hung up the banner of exemption from war and said that he would not fight no matter what.

This was beyond Zhuge Liang’s expectations. He originally thought that Wei Yan would sneak attack the next night and lure the snake out of the hole again, but he said that he would not come out no matter what. The defense of the camp also reached the highest standard. Even if Wei Yan led people to kill inside, he could not get in.

In desperation, Wei Yan went directly back to the city.

Zhuge Liang calculated the losses. Now there are still 100,000 people left in the city. In these few actions, except for the use of Taishan Tiger Bandits, all special troops were retained. Among the 100,000 people, 40,000 are Taishan Tiger Bandits. Now even if the two sides face each other in a decisive battle, Zhuge Liang is confident that he can win this battle.

But after that, it would be impossible for this number of people to defend Jiaozhou, so the current situation is the best.

With the power of eleven states, it is absolutely no problem to support these 100,000 people. It is also no problem for Yizhou to support the 70,000 people, but Yangzhou has already had problems.

In the continuous battles, Gu Rubing has been targeting Yangzhou. Because of the sudden appearance of two legendary generals from the Gu tribe, Jiaozhou was indeed snatched back from Gu Rubing, but Yangzhou also lost all its people and food.

When Zhou Yu rushed back to Yangzhou, he happened to see Sun Jian worrying about food.

"My lord, there is a situation on the front line."

After seeing Zhou Yu coming back, Sun Jian quickly got up.

"Gongjin, what's going on? Is the battle on the front line over?"

"My lord, it's not over. This battle can't be fought anymore. If it continues, Yangzhou will be gone."

Sun Jian naturally understood what Zhou Yu meant, but on the one hand he was unwilling, and on the other hand it was because of the Gu tribe. (End of this chapter)
