It was not until he left Constantinople that Zhao Yun finally relaxed.

"What happened just now?"

After hearing Gu Rubing's words, Zhao Yun spoke slowly.

"Gan Ning wants to fight me to death."

Hearing this, Gu Rubing took a breath of cold air.

No one knows better than himself what a legendary general is. The destructive power of a legendary general is greater than that of an army of one hundred thousand.

If the legendary general decided to fight to the death, not to mention Constantinople, even half of the entire Anluo Empire would be destroyed.

It would be difficult for those present to survive.

"This Gan Xingba is really interesting."

Gu Rubing sneered. He believed that even if Gan Ning fought to the death, at least he could survive.

After Gu Rubing and others left, Sun Jian came to Gan Ning.

"My lord, I..."

"Alright, control yourself from now on. Now is not the time for you legendary generals to fight to the death."

"Yes!"

After saying that, Sun Jian looked at Zhou Yu standing beside him.

"Go and deliver the promised gift to Liu Bei. Our losses this time are really not small. This Shi Xie is such a loser. I will get these losses back from Shi Xie sooner or later."

When Gu Rubing returned to Liangzhou, Taishi Ci hurried out to greet him.

Although Gu Rubing went there with an army of 50,000 and was accompanied by two legendary generals, that place was Sun Jian's territory after all. Taishi Ci was still worried that Gu Rubing would be in danger, so he waited on the city wall. Information about Gu Rubing was sent to Taishi Ci one after another.

"My lord, you are back."

Gu Rubing could see the fatigue on Taishi Ci's face. It was obvious that Taishi Ci had not had a good rest since he left.

"Ziyi, go back and have a rest. We will leave here tomorrow. The affairs of Liangzhou will still be left to you."

Upon hearing this, Taishi Ci nodded.

Gu Rubing asked Zhao Yun and others to return directly to Zhuge Liang, while he himself took some personal guards and rushed to Youzhou.

At this time, the situation in Youzhou had changed a lot.

As Shi Xie gave up the entire Zhuo County, the defenders of Dai County had to retreat, otherwise their retreat would most likely be blocked by Gu Rubing.

In a blink of an eye, two of the ten counties in Youzhou fell into Gu Rubing's hands.

By the time Gu Rubing returned, Zhang He had already joined forces with Wei Yan, and a hundred thousand troops were blocking the spring in Shanggu County.

When the two learned that Gu Rubing had returned, they immediately came out to greet him.

"Lord!"

Looking at Wei Yan and Zhang He in front of him, Gu Rubing smiled and nodded.

Soon, the three of them entered the tent.

"My lord, Wang Yue is currently guarding Quanshang County. No matter how we call him, he seems to have become a different person and won't come out. We have been scolding him for three days. According to Wang Yue's previous behavior, he would have come out to fight us long ago."

Listening to Wei Yan's complaints, Gu Rubing felt that Wang Yue seemed different this time.

Wang Yue has indeed changed.

After the three of them supported each other back to Guangyang County, Wang Yue decided to hand over all command of the battlefield to Shi Xie.

Although Shi Xie's command ability is not very strong, it is definitely better than his own.

Now, 50,000 people were killed because of his own command mistakes. Wang Yue doesn't want the remaining 50,000 people to suffer the same fate.

When Shi Xie received the command, he was also a little shocked, but he immediately gave the first order, which was to attack Wang Yue ten feet away.

The soldiers around were all a little confused when they heard this order.

Because in their opinion, Wang Yue did not make any mistakes, and they were a little confused as to why he was being beaten.

Wang Yue didn't know what Shi Xie's purpose was, but since he had been told that the command would be handed over to Shi Xie, he naturally would not disobey orders.

Wang Yue was seen lying directly on the stool.

The soldiers around him, bewildered, just hit him ten times.

This kind of pain is nothing to Wang Yue.

However, Shi Xie was very satisfied with the effect.

Shi Xie then issued the second order, which was to let Wang Yue lead 30,000 troops to Quanshang County, and ordered Wang Yue not to leave the city to fight no matter what the situation.

Wang Yue had actually long since been unable to tolerate Wei Yan's verbal abuse. If it hadn't been for Shi Xie's order, he would have rushed out and torn Wei Yan's stinky mouth.

Gu Rubing looked at Wei Yan who was standing in front of the formation and cursing, and Wang Yue who seemed not to hear anything on the city wall. Gu Rubing knew that there was no other way to get rid of Shanggu County except to storm it.

Soon, Gu Rubing commanded Wei Yan and Zhang He to attack Quanshang County.

However, just as the two sides were fighting, a cavalryman suddenly appeared behind Gu Rubing's troops.

This cavalry unit only has 3,000 people, but they move very quickly and are all Hun cavalry.

Gu Rubing immediately mobilized the rear army to defend against this cavalry team.

Unexpectedly, the rear army was unable to stop them at all. Seeing these cavalrymen breaking through the blockade of the rear army, Gu Rubing had no choice but to let Zhang He lead the central army to stop them.

Without the support of the central army, Wei Yan, who was in charge of the siege, was forced to give up the siege and return to his side.

When the 3,000 cavalrymen saw Wei Yan stop attacking the city, they turned around and ran without any hesitation.

Faced with such a group of well-trained and extremely fast cavalry, even Gu Rubing had no better solution.

Wang Yue did not expect that he could stop Gu Rubing's army so easily this time.

"My lord, Jundu County and Quanshang County are very close. The Xiongnu cavalry can reach our rear in less than half a day with two horses each. These two places are mutually supportive, so we must attack both sides at the same time."

Gu Rubing naturally knew the reason behind this, but if he wanted to act together, he had to disperse his troops and generals. In this way, Gu Rubing was not sure that he could capture any county.

Just when Gu Rubing was thinking about what to do, a piece of intelligence was sent to him by Captain Younu.

This battle report was sent by Zhuge Liang. Liu Zhang has recently mobilized troops on a large scale, although it is not clear what he is going to do.

Liu Zhang's actions made Gu Rubing feel a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, along with the intelligence, there was also a letter from Zhuge Liang.

There was only one sentence on the letter: divide and break it, point east and hit west.

Looking at the four words in front of him, Gu Rubing suddenly thought of something and immediately took out the map.

There is a valley near Jundu County, which is an excellent place for an ambush.

Soon, Gu Rubing immediately ordered Zhang He to lead a team of elite cavalry to ambush in the valley.

Then Gu Rubing ordered Wei Yan to start the siege. As the siege began, Wei Yan's side did not have Zhang He's help, and the battle was extremely unsuccessful.

After learning that Gu Rubing had attacked the city again, Shi Xie still followed the previous method and sent a 3,000-man Xiongnu cavalry to rush to the rescue.

However, just as the Hun cavalry was passing through the canyon, Zhang He suddenly rushed out with his elite troops who had been ambushed.

The Xiongnu cavalry was immediately thrown into chaos, and Zhang He took advantage of the chaos to kill the Xiongnu commander, a first-class general.

Without a commander, the Hun cavalry turned and fled.

Zhang He was behind, chasing slowly.

Shi Xie, who was on the city wall, saw that all the soldiers he had sent out had run back. He knew that his plan had been discovered, so he immediately opened the city gate to let the remaining soldiers in.

"what happened?"

Shi Xie hurried to the city gate, ready to ask what had happened.

However, when Shi Xie walked in, he saw that the people who ran back were not the remnants of the army, but Gu Rubing, who opened the city gate himself and let his enemies in.

"Liu Bei? What's wrong with you? Shouldn't you be in Quanshang County?"

"Hey, Shi Xie, everything you see is what I want you to see."

After saying that, Gu Rubing drew out his sword and shouted directly, "Kill."

Shi Xie was a little panicked when he saw this, but when he thought that Gu Rubing only had a few thousand men under his command, while there were 20,000 defenders in the city, what was he afraid of?
Soon a war between the two sides was about to break out.

But what made Shi Xie a little curious was that Gu Rubing and his men had fought their way out and climbed onto the city wall, only to raise the big flag with the word "Liu" on it. At the same time, some people even let Gu Rubing and his men's horses go.

More than four thousand war horses ran away in an instant.

Shi Xie was completely confused by Gu Rubing's mysterious actions.

Soon, the Xiongnu cavalry who were chased by Zhang He saw the military flag with the word "Liu" on the city wall and the war horses running around outside the city. They thought that Jundu County had been captured, and without thinking, they turned around and ran in another direction.

However, Zhang He did not pursue and started to attack the city directly.

Soon, with the cooperation of Zhang He and Gu Rubing, the battle was over quickly.

Shi Xie took a part of the elite troops and broke out in the chaos. Gu Rubing did not pursue him. It must be admitted that in terms of cavalry, the Xiongnu cavalry was indeed very strong. In the absence of special arms, the Xiongnu cavalry was the fastest.

Gu Rubing directly blocked the news that Jundu County had fallen.

Afterwards, Gu Rubing came to Shi Xie's study and asked someone to imitate Shi Xie's handwriting.

Wei Yan attacked the city for three hours and was exhausted, so he had to order his troops to return to the camp.

Wang Yue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Wei Yan leave.

At this time, a messenger came to Wang Yue and handed a letter to him.

After seeing the contents of the letter, Wang Yue frowned immediately.

In this letter, Shi Xie ordered a night attack on Liu Bei's camp tonight, and he would also send troops to Jundu County for support.

The content of this letter was completely different from the order Wang Yue received from Shi Xie, which was an order to fight to the death.

After hesitating for a long time, Wang Yue immediately sent a messenger to Jundu County to find out the truth.

However, in order to reach Jundu County, one had to go through Wei Yan's layers of defense, which was a dangerous thing in itself. Moreover, Wang Yue checked the handwriting and it was undoubtedly Shi Xie's order. This also made the messenger feel that it was unnecessary for Wang Yue to go to Shi Xie to verify the order.

The messenger then hid in a corner until midnight and then quietly returned to the city.

"General, the lord told you to act according to the plan."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yue no longer had any doubts and began to mobilize his troops, preparing to launch a sneak attack on Gu Rubing's camp late at night.

Wang Yue brought the remaining 20,000 people directly to Gu Rubing's camp.

After observing outside for a while, Wang Yue was sure that there was nothing suspicious and rushed in with his men.

However, when they entered the camp and eliminated several soldiers on guard, Wang Yue discovered that something was wrong.

They entered the camp shouting and killing all the way.

However, after they cleared all the sentries, they did not see any enemy troops rushing out.

Wang Yue led everyone directly into the tents, only to find that they were empty and no one was inside.

And judging from the temperature of the water inside the tent, it seemed that no one had been in the tent for a long time.

Wang Yue immediately realized that something was wrong, and rushed out of the tent with everyone and rushed back to Quanshang County.

However, at this time the flag in the county town had been changed to the Liu flag.

Wei Yan was standing on the city wall at this time, looking at Wang Yue.

"Haha, Wang Yue, how about I leave my camp to you, let's switch, isn't it fair?"

"Wei Yan, you shameless villain!"

"I am a shameless villain? How dare you say such a thing? You wanted to attack me, but I attacked you instead. How dare you call me shameless?"

Hearing this, Wang Yue gritted his teeth and punched a tree nearby unwillingly. Then he led everyone to Changping County behind Jundu County.

Wang Yue speculated that even if Wei Yan occupied Jundu County, he would definitely not have the energy to occupy Changping County behind it.

After a day's journey, Wang Yue and others finally arrived in Changping County.

However, when Wang Yue saw the flag with the word "Liu" on it on the city wall, he was stunned.

Could it be that Liu Bei flew here? How could he capture two counties in one day?

Gu Rubing stood on the city wall and looked at Wang Yue.

"Wang Yue, you are not welcome here, please leave."

Hearing this, Wang Yue snorted coldly and turned away.

After watching Wang Yue walking away, Gu Rubing breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look inside the city.

A group of soldiers defending the city were fighting with Gu Rubing's men.

If Gu Rubing had not placed his flag on the city wall early, Wang Yue would have definitely seen the problem. At that time, he would be attacked from both sides. Not to mention whether he could take Changping County, it would be a problem whether he could leave alive.

Without the threat of Wang Yue, Gu Rubing rushed into the battlefield with his personal guards.

Guangyang County is the most important county in the entire Guangyang County.

As long as Guangyang County is occupied, we can attack or defend, and Guangyang County is high and has sufficient food.

After Wang Yue entered Guangyang County, he immediately began to take over the county seat, moved all the city defense equipment and supplies over, and sent people to contact Shi Xie.

Finally, after searching for a long time, the messenger found Shi Xie's location.

Juyongguan.

This is a great pass in Youzhou. Although it is not as dangerous as Jianmen Pass, it is not something that can be attacked easily. (End of this chapter)
