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

"Zhao Yun? How could it be such a coincidence?"

"Coincidence? You think it's a coincidence? I don't think so. I just arrived in Guiyang County and my wanted order was issued. Then Zhao Yun showed up. Do you think this is still a coincidence?"

When Zhou Yu heard this, he knew it was a problem with his spies.

All the actions on his side should have been reported to Liu Bei by his spies.

But no one knew that Meng Huo left for Jingzhou. How did the spy know about this?

Zhou Yu thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of any possibilities.

Just then, a faint sound was heard outside the tent.

"Captain, shift change?"

"Well, is there anything unusual?"

"Not yet."

This was the sound of soldiers changing shifts at the door. Although the sound was very small, Zhou Yu could still hear it clearly.

When changing shifts outside the coach's tent, everyone is very careful and when they speak, they don't speak loudly, but in a very low voice. Since the people inside can hear what is happening outside, it means that the people outside can also hear what is happening inside.

When Meng Huo left, he did not alarm anyone. Even the legendary generals did not know where Meng Huo had gone. The only ones who might have known were the soldiers who were changing shifts.

Zhou Yu investigated the people who were arranged to stand guard that night and found out that there were only two people who stood guard for him that night. They were the captain who had just spoken, and the other one was transferred from other place.

Zhou Yu naturally set his target on this newcomer.

However, there was no evidence, so Zhou Yu did not make it public.

Night falls.

Brother Xiahou, come to Zhou Yu's room.

"Hey, Grand Commander, why are you calling us brothers here so late at night? Do you have any plans?"

"Generals, I've taken a look at the map. With our current strength, it will be very difficult to capture Cangwu County where Liu Bei is stationed. So I suggest that you two lead the Yizhou army to attack Wuling County directly. Liu Bei will have to divide his troops to defend it, which will relieve us of a lot of pressure."

After hearing this, the Xiahou brothers nodded and felt that what Zhou Yu said made sense.

Soon, the Xiahou brothers left the camp with five thousand people.

After Zhou Yu returned, the captain on guard said something to another soldier and left his post.

Just as he left, Zhou Yu walked out of the tent.

Looking at the captain's back, Zhou Yu frowned slightly.

Those who were able to stand guard at the door of his commander's tent were all Zhou Yu's confidants. He did not expect that his confidant was actually a spy.

Zhou Yu was unwilling to give up, so he quietly followed with a few people. What if the person really went to the toilet?
But soon, Zhou Yu was disappointed.

Because the place where the captain was walking was not a toilet at all, but a forest.

Zhou Yu did not make any statement but followed quietly.

Not long after, the captain was seen standing in front of a tree and hanging a piece of cloth on the tree.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu immediately rushed out with his men.

When the captain saw Zhou Yu appear, he was startled and turned around to pull the cloth on the tree.

But before he could pull it down, Zhou Yu was brought in front of him.

"Captain Chen, I have always regarded you as my confidant, and we have fought dozens of battles, big and small. You actually betrayed Yangzhou. Do you know how many more people will die if this intelligence of yours is passed on?"

"I'm sorry, Commander-in-Chief. I am King Lie's man in life and King Lie's dead man in death. I can't be a person from Yangzhou."

After hearing what Captain Chen said, Zhou Yu didn't know what to say and just killed the man with one sword.

While his men were collecting the bodies, Zhou Yu was staring at the tree in front of him in a daze.

"Grand Commander, everything is packed, shall we go?"

A deputy general walked up to Zhou Yu.

"Wait a moment."

It didn't take long for Gu Rubing to receive the news from his spy.

After Gu Rubing opened the message and saw the content, he hurried to Zhuge Liang's side.

"Prime Minister, according to the intelligence from our spies, Zhou Yu wants to send troops to Wuling County. What should we do?"

"Wuling County?"

Zhuge Liang looked at the map and immediately shook his head.

"impossible."

Gu Rubing did not expect that Zhuge Liang would actually question the intelligence this time.

They have always made plans based on various intelligence, but this time, Zhuge Liang actually saw the problem.

"What's wrong, Prime Minister?"

"Zhou Yu will never send troops to Wuling County. Right now, the forces of both sides are evenly matched. If we want to send troops to Wuling County, at least 30,000 troops will be needed to conquer the entire county. But Zhou Yu has 30,000 troops now. If he sends out 30,000, how many people will be left in the main camp? Isn't he afraid of our night attack?"

Gu Rubing had not thought of this. If Zhuge Liang's guess was true, then Zhou Yu's purpose was to let him divide his troops in Wuling County.

By that time, his troops would be weak, and Zhou Yu would take the opportunity to attack the city.

"Prime Minister, how should we respond?"

"My lord, it's very simple. Since they want us to divide our forces, then we should divide our forces. Sometimes, it is more effective to take advantage of the situation than to break the enemy's plan."

The Xiahou brothers brought 5,000 people to the border of Wuling County.

The two of them encountered no obstacles along the way.

Xiahou Dun stopped.

"what happened?"

"Something is wrong. We haven't seen anyone along the way. With 5,000 of us, we should have made quite a fuss. Even if Liu Bei couldn't know about it in time, he should have known about it by now. Why hasn't he made any move yet? Are you really planning to hand over Wuling County to us?"

Xiahou Dun didn't believe that Liu Bei could be so kind.

Just as the two were thinking about it, a burst of shouting and killing came from all around.

Then countless arrows rained down.

When Xiahou Dun saw this situation, he knew that he had fallen into a trap.

"withdraw!"

Xiahou Dun turned around and ran without even a second thought.

However, after running a few steps, they saw Zhang Liao and Zhang He, who were standing on the path they had to retreat through, waiting for them.

"You two, you came to our place and you want to leave right away. Aren't you looking down on us?"

After saying that, Zhang Liao and Zhang He rushed directly towards the Xiahou brothers.

The four fought for a while, and after Xiahou Dun resisted Zhang Liao's sword, he shook Zhang Liao's sword away with force, and then looked around. More and more Liu Bei's troops gathered, but the number of people around them was decreasing.

"We can't continue to entangle ourselves. Let's go."

After Xiahou Dun finished speaking, in order to force his way through, he resisted the combined attack of Zhang He and Zhang Liao.

Xiahou Yuan took the opportunity to rush out with his men.

Looking at the two people going away, Zhang Liao and Zhang He had no intention of chasing them.

at the same time.

Under Zhuge Liang's command, all the special forces were dispatched, leaving only the Taishan Tiger Bandits to guard the city, and began to attack Zhou Yu's camp.

Zhou Yu did not expect that Zhuge Liang's offensive would be so fierce.

Within a stick of incense's time, the front army could no longer hold on, and had to let Zhou Yu's central army take over.

Several legendary generals were finally about to take action at this time, but at the moment they were about to take action, Guan Yu and his men immediately appeared and stopped these legendary generals.

Huang Gai, Gan Ning and Xu Huang came with the rear troops to support and finally blocked Gu Rubing's attack.

Zhuge Liang saw that the situation was almost over and sounded the call to withdraw his troops.

After hearing the sound, several special forces quickly retreated.

It was impossible for Zhou Yu not to be envious when he saw the special troops that were trained very quickly. Of course, they also had special troops, but they were treated like treasures by Sun Jian, and some were even kept in Yangzhou and not in use.

"You can come as you like, and leave as you like. Do you think this is your home?"

Zhou Yu was so angry that he led his army and started chasing towards the city wall.

But when he arrived, he saw a familiar scene.

Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation.

The scale of this time is much smaller than the last time, with only tens of thousands of people. However, they are all composed of Taishan tiger bandits, so their combat effectiveness can be imagined.

"Grand Commander, I have been waiting for you here for a long time. Why don't we pass my formation and enter the city to have a good chat?"

Looking at the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation in front of him, Zhou Yu clenched his fists reluctantly, but finally chose to give up.

After all, he knew how powerful the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation was, and even he was not sure he could get out of it safely.

"withdraw!"

In the end, Zhou Yu had no choice but to retreat.

"I'll teach you a lesson this time. The Grand Admiral hopes you can remember to act within your capabilities."

Zhuge Liang's words made Zhou Yu's face turn pale, but he knew that this was Zhuge Liang's strategy, which was to provoke him and make him charge into the battle.

"Zhuge Liang, wait for me."

After saying this, Zhou Yu returned to the camp quickly without looking back.

Gu Rubing watched Zhuge Liang's performance from the side and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

"Prime Minister, can this Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation stop Zhou Yu?"

"My lord, how can you believe in this Eight-Gate Golden Lock Formation? You should know that to complete this formation, you need to train and coordinate for a long time in advance. These Taishan Tiger Bandits are all newcomers. How can they know the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Formation? This is just a decoration, just for show. If Zhou Yu dares to charge into the formation, I will let them retreat."

Gu Rubing laughed out loud at Zhuge Liang's words. Fortunately, Zhou Yu did not hear it, otherwise he would have been so angry that he would have vomited blood again.

Not long after, Zhang Liao and Zhang He also returned.

"You two, how is the performance?"

"My lord, we killed 5,000 enemies and suffered less than 1,000 casualties. It's just a pity that the Xiahou brothers escaped. However, when they ran away, they were only followed by 300 people."

"Well, this is also a small victory. You two generals have worked hard. Go down and have a rest."

The two nodded, said goodbye to Gu Rubing, and left the room.

"My lord, if I'm right, Zhou Yu will send people to attack the city tomorrow. I'm afraid we won't be able to defend the city. The only way out now is with Mr. Hua Tuo. If we can get a large amount of antidote, I believe it shouldn't be a problem to defeat Zhou Yu and his men."

Gu Rubing had the same idea, but before he was ready, Sun Jian suddenly attacked, causing all the medicinal herbs that he had stored with great difficulty to be used up. Now where could he find so many medicinal herbs? Without them, even if Hua Tuo was a miracle doctor, or even a god, it would be of no use.

Just when Gu Rubing was considering what to do, Zhao Yun came back with Hua Tuo.

"Hmm? Zhao Yun, didn't I ask you to send the master to Sili? Why did you bring him to the front line?"

When Gu Rubing saw Hua Tuo coming, he suddenly became nervous.

Hua Tuo is the magic weapon in his hands for victory. Although Hua Tuo cannot solve the problem of poison for the time being, Gu Rubing believes that as long as Hua Tuo is given enough time, he will definitely find a way to solve it.

"My lord, please don't make it difficult for General Zilong. I came here on my own accord. My identity is not safe no matter where I am, and General Zilong cannot always protect me. I need General Zilong more on the battlefield, so the safest place is by your side."

After hearing this, Gu Rubing also felt that it made sense.

"Also, lord, I just heard that there might be a war tomorrow morning. I still have the last portion of antidote, which is barely enough for 50,000 people. Lord, please divide it up."

There were only 50,000 people, which made Gu Rubing a little embarrassed. According to the number, the Taishan Tiger Bandits were undoubtedly the most suitable.

But with 50,000 people facing a siege of more than 100,000 enemies, they are bound to suffer heavy losses. Add to that the interference of poisonous gas and poisonous insects, and the Taishan Tiger Bandits, who had been organized with great difficulty, might be wiped out again in this battle.

Gu Rubing looked at Zang Ba standing aside.

"My Lord, we must fight together with my Taishan Tiger Bandits."

"Xuan Gao, are you sure? You don't need to stay here and risk your life. As long as you are here, we can rebuild Taishan Tiger Bandits."

"My lord, no need. Last time, the Taishan Tiger Bandits were all wiped out, and I survived alone. I don't want to do that again this time. I want to accompany my Taishan Tiger Bandits and fight to the last moment."

Looking at Zang Ba's determined eyes, Gu Rubing didn't know what to say.

Moreover, Gu Rubing felt that Zang Ba's current state was enough to motivate the entire army, and such momentum could be put to good use.

"Okay, in that case, I'll stay here with you. I want to see you all come back and drink with you all."

"No."

This time, not only all the generals present, but even Zhuge Liang directly refused.

Because this time, Zhuge Liang was not very sure.

"I have made up my mind. There is no need to persuade me. If you don't want me to die with you, then we can defend the city together. If I die, I will go to the underworld and keep you company."

After hearing this, everyone didn't know what to say and just nodded.

Early the next morning.

It turned out just as Zhuge Liang had expected.

Zhou Yu led a large army and approached the city.

"Liu Bei, leave Cangwu County and hand over Jiaozhou. We promise that we will not take any further action."

"Zhou Yu, if I were you, I would hurry back and don't waste the last bit of Sun Jian's wealth. I'm afraid there are no male descendants left in Yangzhou now. If you lose this battle, then Yangzhou will never be able to make a comeback."

When I heard that Gu Rubing had revealed the situation in Yangzhou right away, it was obvious that Gu Rubing also had spies in Yangzhou.
