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

Seeing that his ten thousand men were in complete disarray, Yu Jin knew that it was too late and the best thing to do now was to leave on his own.

After thinking about it, Yu Jin turned around and ran away.

"Where to go."

Deng Ai swung the black iron knife in his hand and slashed at Yu Jin.

Yu Jin immediately swung his sword to block.

The two fought for dozens of rounds, but neither won.

"General, run, we can't hold on any longer."

Yu Jin's attack rhythm was disrupted by the voice of the deputy general, and Deng Ai took the opportunity to speed up his movements.

For a moment, Yu Jin was suppressed and could only defend.

The surrounding battles had ended, with only a small number of Wei troops escaping from the canyon, while most of the rest were surrounded and killed, while the battle between Yu Jin and Deng Ai continued.

After fighting for more than a hundred rounds, Deng Ai could no longer hold on. In terms of single-handed fighting strength, Deng Ai admitted that he was indeed no match for Yu Jin.

But as the battle ended, more soldiers joined their fight, and Yu Jin was overwhelmed for a while.

Caught off guard, Deng Ai stabbed him in the arm.

The right hand holding the knife was cut off in an instant.

After a scream, Yu Jin fell off his horse.

Before Yu Jin could stand up, Deng Ai rode his horse up to him and killed him with one sword.

At this moment, Deng Ai felt an unprecedented power. Now Deng Ai was no longer a quasi-famous general, but a real famous general.

However, at the moment he became a famous general, Deng Ai seemed to have thought of something, and immediately led the remaining soldiers and rushed towards Wudu.

There were only a few hundred old, weak, sick and disabled people guarding Wudu now. How could they be a match for Deng Ai? Wudu was soon captured.

However, Deng Ai did not move forward. Now that Zhuge Liang's order had arrived, it was impossible for him to proceed according to his own plan. After sending the battle report back to Jianmen Pass, he took everyone and rushed directly to the back of Jianmen Pass.

Seven days later.

Gu Rubing received Deng Ai's battle report, killed Wei general Yu Jin, and captured Wudu, but still followed Zhuge Liang's order and rushed to the rear of Jianmen Pass.

Seeing this, Gu Rubing opened the control panel immediately.

[Name: Deng Ai]

【…】

[General level: Famous General Points (2/100) Legendary General Points (0/100)]

……

[Basic Sword Skills lv5: Increase attack power by 500%]

[Black Iron Sword Effect: Increase attack power by 800%]

Gu Rubing couldn't help feeling disappointed when he saw that Deng Ai's skills had hardly changed.

However, he also understood that after all, he was transformed from a quasi-famous general to a famous general, not from a famous general to a legendary general. To be precise, Deng Ai belonged to the category of Confucian generals and a cultural relic all-rounder. His greater role was to take orders and fight, rather than to fight against generals in front of the battle.

"I didn't expect that Shi Zai would give me a surprise, but this is enough. If the fight continues, I'm afraid Shi Zai won't be able to hold out for much longer. It's better to retreat!"

Zhuge Liang was not carried away by Deng Ai's victory this time. He knew very well in his heart that the daily consumption of 20,000 troops was very terrifying. The reason why he showed up three times was not because Deng Ai wanted to show up, but because the supplies of the camp could not be delivered at all. Deng Ai could only bring people into everyone's sight to grab food and grass.

Otherwise, Deng Ai's plan would definitely succeed this time.

After Cao Cao received the news that Wudu had fallen, he was suddenly a little panicked. He had never expected that Deng Ai's speed would be so fast. What he did not expect was that the dignified Yu Jin was actually killed by an unknown young general Deng Ai.

"Send an order, tell Cao Zhen to recapture Wudu for me, and withdraw 30,000 troops from the front line to support Wudu."

"No, my lord!"

When Xun Yu heard Cao Cao's order, he immediately stood up to stop it.

"Military Advisor, what do you mean? Don't you want to fight anymore?"

"No, my lord, it is too late to withdraw troops from Yulin County and rush to Wudu. The most important thing is to send troops to Chengdu to assist in the defense."

"Yes, let the 30,000 people withdrawn rush to Chengdu to assist in the defense."

Even Xun Yu felt that Deng Ai's next target would be Chengdu.

But none of them expected that Deng Ai's next target would be Jianmen Pass, or that Zhuge Liang's target had always been Jianmen Pass.

This day.

Zhong Hui stood on the city wall and looked at the countless corpses below. He couldn't help but sigh that Liu Bei had so many people.

There has been no peace in the past few days. Gu Rubing kept sending people to test, and even sent out legendary generals. The terrifying arrow shot by Huang Zhong made everyone present a little scared. Fortunately, Cao Zhang in the city blocked it, otherwise the huge natural barrier of Jianmen Pass would have been reduced to ashes in an instant.

After inspecting the area and making sure there were no problems, Zhong Hui walked down the city wall and prepared to rest. After all, it was already late at night.

However, not long after Zhong Hui left, a group of people quietly came to the city. These people were the special forces led by Deng Ai.

"Fire rockets and flares, go ahead!"

Three flaming arrows streaked across the sky, followed by three more arrows shot out from another direction.

Zhong Hui, who had just returned to the room, heard the sound of arrows.

He suddenly sat up from the bed and looked outside.

"Someone, what's going on?"

"General, it's bad. Our rear has been attacked, and Liu Bei's army in front has also begun to attack the city."

"A pincer attack? Impossible. Where would the troops in the rear come from? Didn't we send General Yu Jin to defend Wudu?"

At this moment, Zhong Hui couldn't understand how the people behind him came here so quietly.

"General, what should we do? The people in the rear have already rushed into the city, and the city gate has been opened. We have lost the defense."

"How could it be so fast?"

Zhong Hui's eyes widened.

All this was because the defense of Jianmen Pass was too simple. Even the soldiers on night watch relaxed their vigilance at night, especially the defense of the city wall at the rear. The defense was extremely lax. The original rule of Zhong Hui that there should be a guard every five steps was now not enforced by anyone. There were only a dozen people on the entire city wall, all huddled together and fast asleep.

By the time they heard the noise and reacted, Zhong Hui had already rushed up with thousands of vanguard troops.

These dozen people were unable to send out the news of the people coming from the city wall until their death.

By the time someone saw it and sent a signal, it was too late. More than 10,000 people had already climbed onto the city wall. Under the command of Deng Ai, a part of them rushed to the front gate and forced it open.

The Lie army, which had been prepared for a long time, rushed directly into the city. With the natural barrier of Jianmen Pass, the Lie army was no match for the Wei army, but now that the natural barrier had been broken, the Lie army's combat effectiveness returned to its peak state again.

Zhong Hui looked at the chaotic Jianmen Pass and suddenly felt powerless.

"Shiji, what are you doing? Get out of here!"

Cao Ren pulled up Zhong Hui from the ground, and with the cooperation of two legendary generals, he took advantage of the chaos to leave Jianmen Pass.

Standing on a distant mountain, watching the flames rising into the sky from Jianmen Pass, Zhong Hui was in a very low mood. He didn't understand how such a strong pass could be captured, since he had clearly done a very good job.

"What should we do now? Should we go back quickly or defend the next place?"

After Cao Ren finished speaking, he looked at Zhong Hui.

"Let's go to Annan. If Guanghan County is lost, Shu County and Hanzhong County will be completely lost. We must defend Annan and Wuyang. If these two places are lost, half of Yizhou's territory will belong to Liu Bei."

"Okay, but we only have this few people now, this..."

Cao Ren looked behind him and found that there were only two legendary generals and none of the soldiers guarding Jianmen Pass came out in time.

"No matter what, let's go first and ask the lord for help. I hope the lord can send some people to reinforce us."

After the four of them confirmed it, they started rushing towards Annan.

The Battle of Jianmen Pass was completely over. Gu Rubing walked into the pass and saw the city defense equipment everywhere. He knew that if Deng Ai had not sneak attacked Jianmen Pass and helped him break through the pass, he was afraid that this time, he didn't know how many people would be lost before he could break through this pass.

"My lord, I'm back."

Deng Ai knelt in front of Gu Rubing.

"Haha, good. From today on, I will appoint Deng Ai as the General of Pacificating the South. After the world is settled, I will reward him handsomely!"

"Thank you, Lord."

"Haha, congratulations to General Deng on your promotion. Remember to treat me to a drink later!"

Pang De immediately stood up and grabbed Deng Ai's shoulders, as if he would not let him leave unless he was invited to drink.

"Wait until the war is over, definitely, definitely!"

Looking at the important task of joking, Gu Rubing waved his hand.

Everyone fell silent instantly.

At this time, Zhuge Liang stood up and looked at Gu Rubing.

"My Lord, we may be wrong."

"Wrong? What does the Prime Minister mean?"

"My lord, according to the news brought back by Shi Zai, Yu Jin and 10,000 soldiers appeared in Wudu. According to our intelligence, Yu Jin is one of the guards of Jianmen Pass. If Cao Cao really sent people, the news would be sent to Jianmen Pass, but if support was provided from Jianmen Pass, the speed would not be so fast. So I conclude that someone else sent Yu Jin to Jianmen Pass for support, not Cao Cao or Xun Yu."

Deng Ai nodded and walked forward when he heard this.

"My lord, I have the same feeling. The enemy's reinforcements came too quickly. Although I have exposed my tracks, we are marching very fast. Even if Cao Cao knew, he couldn't send reinforcements to Wudu before us. So someone must have known my actions and intentions earlier than Cao Cao."

Gu Rubing brought over the list of enemy generals that he had investigated.

Although Cao Zhang, Miao Moqing and others are all legendary generals with good combat effectiveness, their military command abilities are relatively weak, even inferior to Zhao Yun and Guan Yu. As for the remaining one, there is Cao Ren.

Cao Ren had no problem with military affairs, but strategically, he had no ability to see through Deng Ai's plan.

After carefully looking through the list, Gu Rubing found a name on it, Zhong Hui and Zhong Shiji.

Zhong Hui's ability is not inferior to Deng Ai's. In fact, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhong Hui was the first to propose a surprise attack on Chengdu.

In the end, Gu Rubing set his sights on Zhong Hui.

"Tell Captain Younu to keep an eye on this man called Zhong Hui."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Gu Rubing.

"My Lord, do you think this incident has something to do with this person called Zhong Hui?"

Zhuge Liang looked at Gu Rubing in confusion. In all the intelligence, there was no bright spot for Zhong Hui. Even though there was one time when he was successful, no one paid attention to this person.

"Yes, he should be the one who ruined Shi Zai's plan, but this person should not be valued by Cao Cao. Perhaps we can poach him."

Zhuge Liang nodded when he heard this. Since he was able to see through Deng Ai's plan, it showed that he was a great talent. If such a person fell into Cao Cao's hands, the danger to them would be too great.

"Everyone, quickly reorganize Guangyang County, and then march to Annan."

"Yes!"

When Cao Cao learned that he had lost at Jianmen Pass, he collapsed in his chair.

Unexpectedly, Gu Rubing used 100,000 people to swallow up half of Yizhou's territory in a short time. After Jianmen Pass, there was no other strategic place in Yizhou as strategic as Jianmen Pass.

"Military Advisor, what do you think we should do now?"

Cao Cao had a plan in mind, but he didn't say it. Instead, he looked at Xun Yu, hoping that Xun Yu could give him a different idea.

But unfortunately, what Xun Yu said was exactly what he was thinking.

"My lord, the only solution now is to call back the garrison troops in Yulin County. Yizhou is almost lost now. We can no longer help Liu Zhang. We may even need Liu Zhang's help."

"Oh! If only Sun Jian were here."

It was at this time that Cao Cao remembered the good things about Sun Jian.

However, Cao Cao's unintentional words gave Xun Yu some ideas.

"My Lord, maybe we can really ask Sun Jian to come and help."

"Help? Sun Jian has already formed an alliance with Liu Bei and is even going to marry his daughter to Liu Bei. They will soon become in-laws. What can we use to form an alliance with them?"

"It's not important whether we are aligned or not. What's important is what we say and what we do."

"Ok?"

Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu in front of him with confusion.

Soon Xun Yu told his plan.

"Military Advisor, this is a risky move. If this plan succeeds, at least we won't be in any danger for now, and we can also force Liu Bei to withdraw his troops. But if your plan fails, then they will really reach Chengdu."

"My lord, do you have any better ideas now? In fact, we all know that even if we call back all the people to defend Yizhou, we can't be Liu Bei's opponent. Failure is only a matter of time. Rather than facing a situation where we are doomed to die, we might as well give it a try. But before that, we need to separate Liu Bei from Zhuge Liang."

Cao Cao nodded.

When Liu Bei was reorganizing the three counties of Guanghan, Hanzhong and Shu, the situation in Yulin County changed drastically.

The initial offensive momentum turned into a defensive momentum. The reason for all this was that the Wei army was like crazy, and began to counterattack in all directions regardless of losses. This made Guan Yu somewhat unsure of what the Wei army was going to do, so he could only retreat and defend, and then sent a military report to Gu Rubing. (End of this chapter)
