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

Wang Yue and his men quickly reached the outskirts of Wei Yan's camp.

Seeing that there were very few guards in the camp, Wang Yue felt that it was about the same as he had guessed. After all, they were going to attack the city tomorrow. If they got several thousand people to defend the camp, who would go to attack the city tomorrow? So they could only use a small number of people to defend the camp.

This will inevitably leave the camp's defenses much weaker.

For Wang Yue, this is an opportunity.

After observing for a while and making sure there was no problem, Wang Yue led everyone and rushed forward.

When the guards saw Wang Yue and his group coming, they turned around and ran without any intention of resisting.

If it was a general who had fought for many years, he might be a little suspicious when seeing this scene, but unfortunately this man was Wang Yue, a swordsman himself, with too little military talent on the battlefield. He did not see any problem at all and still led his men into the camp.

After checking around, we found that all the camps were empty, with no one there.

Only then did Wang Yue realize that he had been fooled.

"withdraw!"

Just when Wang Yue was preparing to retreat, countless people suddenly rushed out from around the camp. This number far exceeded the 6,000 people they knew.

Soon Zhang He and Wei Yan walked out from a distance.

"Haha, Wang Yue, you really are just biting at a piece of meat. Why are you so hungry? You just start fighting right away. Have you ever considered why I can attack the city with only 10,000 people? Do you really think I'm a fool? I want to take down a city guarded by 30,000 people with only 10,000 people?"

Hearing these words, Wang Yue's face instantly turned gloomy.

He finally realized that this was a plot from the very beginning, designed to make him relax his guard and even become careless, so as to lure him out and then surround him.

"You guys are really good at it."

"Haha, it's okay. Our lord said that you, Wang Yue, are a very capable assassin, but if you want to get involved in the position of general, forget it. You are not worthy."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yue gritted his teeth and commanded his soldiers to begin breaking out towards the city.

However, how could Zhang He and Wei Yan let him do as he wished? No matter how Wang Yue tried to break out, he would be blocked by the two men.

Wang Yue watched as the number of soldiers around him decreased, and he already had the idea of ​​abandoning these people in his mind.

Now that the two armies are fighting, the battlefield is very chaotic. In this situation, it makes no difference whether there is one more or one less person, and others will not care. In addition, with my own abilities, I can completely leave here. As long as I return to the city, there are nearly 20,000 people there. It is not a problem to defend the city.

Thinking of this, Wang Yue turned around and disappeared from the battlefield.

However, what Wang Yue didn't know was that someone had already left the battlefield earlier than him.

Under the White Earth City.

A group of soldiers gathered in a scattered manner under the city.

"Open the door quickly, we have fallen into a trap and the pursuers are coming soon."

When the centurion guarding the city saw this situation, he immediately became suspicious because Wang Yue was not among the people who returned.

"Where is General Wang? Please ask General Wang to come out and meet me."

"General Wang is here."

The voice fell, and a person was lying on a stretcher. No one knew who was on it.

All they saw was a man covered in blood.

"Open the door quickly. General Wang is dying. Notify the doctor immediately to treat General Wang."

After hearing what the other party said, the centurion no longer had any doubts and directly opened the city gate.

Seeing this, the group of soldiers immediately went in.

The centurion on the city wall discovered that behind the group of wounded soldiers, there was a group of people rushing over, led by Wei Yan.

"Oh no! The pursuers are coming. Close the city gate immediately."

However, the centurion's order was issued, but the city gate was never closed.

"Go and see what's going on with the city gate."

"Yes!"

Several soldiers immediately rushed to the city gate, but they only saw the bodies of their own people on the ground, and the so-called wounded soldiers who were holding swords and slowly walking towards them.

Seeing this, the soldiers screamed and ran up the city wall.

"General, this is bad. Those people are enemies. The city gate has been occupied. Run."

Upon hearing this, the centurion was completely panicked. Without Wang Yue's command, these people were no match for Wei Yan.

In the end, the centurion directly ordered a retreat.

In fact, there was no need for the centurion to give orders, as the soldiers guarding the city had already started running.

Gu Rubing, who walked down from the stretcher, did not expect that everything would go so smoothly.

If the people on the city wall were Cao Cao or Sun Jian, or even Liu Zhang's men, they would be able to see through my plan.

Originally, Gu Rubing thought that even if the plan failed, at least he could keep Wang Yue outside the city and prevent him from entering. Then he would just have to wait for Wei Yan to come and attack the city.

Soon, Gu Rubing occupied the entire Baitu City.

After Wei Yan entered the city, he was stunned when he saw that it was Gu Rubing. It didn't take long for Wei Yan to break out in a cold sweat.

If you cheat at the city gate, everyone will be shot if you are not careful.

Generally, the people who do this kind of thing are specially selected assassins.

But now, Gu Rubing actually acted as a death warrior.

"My Lord, how can you personally block the city gate? If something happens to you, how can I explain it to you when I return?"

Looking at Wei Yan's appearance, Gu Rubing smiled and patted Wei Yan's shoulder.

Obviously, he did not take Wei Yan's words to heart.

However, Wei Yan had already thought of a solution.

When Gu Rubing went to sort out the supplies in the city, Wei Yan directly wrote a letter to Zhuge Liang bypassing Gu Rubing. The content of the letter was all small reports on Gu Rubing.

The captain of the Younu army felt very suspicious that Wei Yan had contacted them directly without going through Gu Rubing.

After Wei Yan left, they opened the letter.

After seeing the things above, several people fell silent.

They are all considering whether to send it or not.

They were King Lie's men and should have stood on King Lie's side, but this letter was addressed to Zhuge Liang.

They were old men, so they naturally knew about the relationship between King Lie and Zhuge Liang.

What Wei Yan said in the letter was not a bad thing.

Finally they made a decision. On the one hand, they told Gu Rubing about the matter, and on the other hand, they sent the letter out.

This way, neither party is offended.

Soon, a captain of the roving crossbow army came to Gu Rubing's room.

At this time, Gu Rubing was still looking at the account book of Baitu City.

"Lord."

Gu Rubing looked at the person who came.

"Why did you, the captain of the Younu, come to see me at this time? Did something happen in Yulin County? Or in Yizhou?"

"My lord, the Prime Minister said that Yulin County and Yizhou are all proceeding in an orderly manner according to the plan. However, there is one thing I still want to tell you. General Wei Yan just gave us a letter and asked us to give it to the Prime Minister."

"The length of the article?"

Gu Rubing frowned when he heard this.

"Yes, we copied it down."

Gu Rubing curiously opened the letter, but when he saw what was on it, his face suddenly changed. "Wei Yan, you dare to tell on me?"

Gu Rubing slammed the letter on the table, turned to look at the captain of the Younu Army, and asked, "Where's the letter?"

"It has been sent to the Prime Minister."

"What? Who told you to send it? Get it back to me now."

"My Lord, I'm afraid we can't get this letter back. We are using the fastest speed, 800 miles per hour."

"Fuck!"

Gu Rubing cursed out loud.

After a long time, Gu Rubing looked directly at the captain of the Younu Army.

"Bring Wei Yan to me."

"Yes!"

Wei Yan was on the city wall. He saw with his own eyes the captain of the roving crossbows taking his letter out, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon he saw the captain of the Younu Army walking towards him.

Wei Yan knew clearly that since he had found the Captain of the Roaming Crossbows, it meant that his lord already knew about the letter he had written to Zhuge Liang.

"My lord asked you to come and find me?"

Captain Younu nodded.

"Okay, I'll go over."

Not long after, Wei Yan walked in front of Gu Rubing.

"Lord!"

"Wei Yan, Wei Yan, I treated you well, didn't I? You betrayed me?"

"My Lord, it is our responsibility to tell the Prime Minister about your situation. This does not count as betrayal."

"Okay, okay, from today on, you will stay in Baitu City until you and Zhang He take over Youzhou. Then you can forget about joining the war."

"Yes, but my lord, I guess it won't be long before you have to go back. By then, Zhang He alone will not be able to hold on."

Looking at Wei Yan's appearance, Gu Rubing really wanted to kick him, but he was afraid of hurting his feet, so he finally endured it.

"Okay, pack up and head to Qiyuan City tomorrow."

"Yes!"

Watching Wei Yan leave, Gu Rubing sighed. He also knew that Wei Yan was afraid.

His unauthorized action this time did scare Wei Yan and Zhang He, but there was nothing he could do. He did not bring many generals with him this time, and Gu Rubing was not at ease if he handed over such matters to others, so he had to come in person.

However, what Gu Rubing didn't know was that after Zhang He learned of the situation, all the soldiers who had joined him in robbing the city gate were transferred to the baggage camp, and even the centurion among them was sent to raise horses.

It can be said that they were completely demoted and were not even considered regular soldiers.

One night passed.

Gu Rubing immediately led his army to Qiyuan City.

At this time, Wang Yue was already standing on the city wall of Qiyuan City.

After escaping from Wei Yan's camp and the pursuers, Wang Yue wanted to return to the city, but found that the flags on Baitu City had been replaced with the word "Lie", which meant that the owner of Baitu City had changed.

Although Wang Yue didn't know what method Gu Rubing used, he knew that he definitely couldn't enter the city now.

In the end, Wang Yue bypassed Baitu City and went directly to Qiyuan City.

As a result, as soon as they arrived at Qiyuan City, they saw Gu Rubing rushing over with a large army.

"General, the food and fodder have not been delivered yet. We only have enough food and fodder left for five days."

"I understand. I will send someone to urge the grain transport team to hurry up."

"Yes."

After the deputy general left, Wang Yue looked at Gu Rubing in the distance.

He knew in his heart that he probably didn't have any grain transport team.

Shi Xie had already told himself that there was no more food. Even if a food transport team really came, the food they provided would probably not be enough to last them for long.

The best solution now is to cease fire.

But now that the battle has reached this point, will Gu Rubing really agree to a ceasefire?
After thinking for a long time, Wang Yue finally sent someone to find Shi Xie.

When Gu Rubing arrived at Qiyuan City and saw Wang Yue on the city wall, he burst out laughing.

"Hey, isn't this Wang Yue? How come you quit being an assassin and want to be a general? But you are not qualified to be a general. People say that different trades are like different mountains. Can you figure out how to march and how to fight?"

"Liu Bei, don't try to show off your power of words. If you are really capable, come and attack the city. I want to see if you can take down my Qiyuan City."

Including the deserters from Baitu City and the original troops in Qiyuan City, Wang Yue now has a total of nearly 60,000 people under his command.

This is almost all the troops that Shi Xie can mobilize for the front line.

But unfortunately, now they only have people but no food. If the fighting continues, they may start to eat each other.

Gu Rubing didn't care at all about what you, Wang Yue, said.

Just when Gu Rubing was preparing to attack the city.

A letter was delivered to Gu Rubing.

Gu Rubing saw that this was actually a letter from Wang Yue to him.

It said that Shi Xie requested to meet with him to discuss a ceasefire.

Truce? Didn't you just say that you were allowed to attack the city? Why is there still a truce?
Wei Yan and Zhang He also had no idea what Wang Yue and Shi Xie meant.

"Okay, let Shi Xie come over to me so I can talk to him."

The messenger immediately nodded and turned to leave.

"My lord, there's something wrong with Shi Xie. Although they will definitely lose, there's no need for them to admit defeat now, right? And he seemed to be talking about a ceasefire, not admitting defeat."

Wei Yan looked at Gu Rubing. He always felt that there must be something wrong with Shi Xie's letter this time.

"We don't need to worry about that. Anyway, we have the initiative now. When Shi Xie comes, we should be able to find out everything after asking him."

However, it didn't take long for Gu Rubing, Wei Yan and others to figure out what was going on.

The captain of the Younu Army in Liaoxi County avoided many checkpoints and finally arrived in front of Gu Rubing.

Moreover, Gu Rubing also learned from them that there was a large-scale food shortage in Youzhou, and even Shi Xie could not get enough food and fodder for the soldiers on the front line.

Now they all knew Shi Xie's purpose.

"My lord, now is the best opportunity to attack Shi Xie. Without food and fodder, Wang Yue and his men won't be able to hold out for long."

Gu Rubing nodded, but he wanted to wait until Wang Yue and his men were completely out of food before taking action, so as to reduce casualties.

Three days later, Shi Xie was dragged by Shi A to Qiyuan City.

After seeing Wang Yue, Shi Xie rushed directly to Wang Yue and questioned him loudly.

"Wang Yue, what do you mean? Didn't you say you were ready? You just needed to use my name, but now there's no food left. Don't you have any solution?"

"There is a way."

Wang Yue's words left Shi Xie unable to react, and he looked around.

"Is there a way? Where's the food? Bring it here quickly, the people in the city are almost eating tree bark."

"The solution is you."

"What do you mean?" (End of this chapter)
