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

However, when Zhang Ren saw the crowded dock and the raging flames, he felt a little troubled.

The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun, like the Iron Pagoda, are all cavalry. This crowded environment is the most unfavorable combat environment for cavalry.

But soon, Zhang Ren saw the Iron Pagoda surrounded by layers of siege.

Zhang Ren knew that he had to take action.

Soon, the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun launched a fierce charge.

Zhou Yu also discovered that Zhang Ren's Eighteen Riders of Yanyun had appeared on the periphery, and he immediately mobilized troops to try to stop them. However, the combat effectiveness of the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun was too strong, and the outer defense line was soon broken through.

Zhou Yu had no choice but to send Huang Gai to stop Zhang Ren.

Facing Zhang Liao, Huang Gai was somewhat afraid from the bottom of his heart. If it were not for the unique gourd-like terrain of the dock, it would be a pipe dream to stop Zhang Liao with their tens of thousands of troops. But Huang Gai was not afraid of Zhang Ren.

Zhang Ren, who was holding two guns, collided directly with Huang Gai, who was holding two whips.

After just a simple contact, Zhang Ren understood Huang Gai's strength.

Huang Gai was a little frightened, because Zhang Ren's strength was far beyond his imagination.

Zhang Ren knew that the situation was very tense and he could not afford to delay, so he simply used the Double Soul Splitting Sky Spear Technique.

In an instant, Zhang Ren's attack power increased by 1000%.

Huang Gai thought that Zhang Ren still wanted to test him, so he naturally did not use his full strength. The moment the two sides came into contact, Huang Gai felt tremendous pressure.

Zhang Ren's double guns were extremely flexible. He used them left and right, turning the double whips in Huang Gai's hands into mere decorations in a short period of time.

It didn't take long before Huang Gai had several wounds of varying depths on his body.

The dual-gun technique was indeed elusive and had endless variations, but its only weakness was that it could not kill the enemy with one strike like a spear.

The only way to defeat the opponent is through long-term consumption.

As his injuries worsened, Huang Gai began to run out of strength and was losing the battle with Zhang Ren.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu had to temporarily interrupt his command of the battlefield and handed over the command to Zhou Tai.

However, Zhou Tai's command ability was not as good as Zhao Yun's. On the one hand, he had to dispatch troops to block the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun in the rear, and on the other hand, he had to stop the breakthrough of the Iron Pagoda led by Zhang Liao.

Soon, chaos broke out in the Wu army, both in the front and in the rear.

Zhang Liao took advantage of the chaos in the Wu army and finally found a breakthrough. He rushed out and successfully joined up with the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun.

The two teams joined together and broke out directly.

Zhang Ren also escaped the joint attack of Huang Gai and Zhou Yu and caught up with Zhang Liao and others.

Huang Gai wanted to lead people to chase after them, but was stopped by Zhou Yu.

The fire at the dock burned all night and it was too late to put it out.

"Grand Commander, this dock is gone, and our food and fodder..."

Before Huang Gai could finish his words, he was stopped by Zhou Yu.

"Go back to see the lord."

Zhang Liao led everyone to run for a long time, and only stopped after making sure that no one was chasing them.

The Iron Buddha deputy general stepped forward.

"General, there are less than a hundred people in the Iron Pagoda."

Upon hearing the news, Zhang Liao sighed. The Iron Pagoda suffered such a heavy loss, and he did not receive any orders this time. It was completely a combat casualty outside the mission. He could imagine how Gu Rubing would punish him.

However, looking at the raging fire still burning in the distance, Zhang Liao was still very pleased, at least his goal was achieved.

Zhang Ren looked at Zhang Liao.

"Wenyuan, the master asked you to come back with me."

Zhang Liao knew that Gu Rubing was going to punish him.

"Let's go."

Zhou Yu brought Huang Gai and others, as well as the remaining troops, back to Longbian County.

Sun Jian looked at Zhou Yu and others in front of him, and was so angry that he threw all the bamboo slips on the table at them.

"You are useless. You are such a bunch of useless people. You have so many people, but you can't even defend 500 people. You even let them burn down the dock. What use do I have for you?"

Hearing this, everyone immediately lowered their heads in shame.

Looking at the silent people in front of him, Sun Jian took a while to suppress the murderous anger in his heart.

What he has to consider now is what to do with his food and supplies without the dock?
Thinking of this, Sun Jian looked at the map.

The only place closest to him, apart from the one in Longbian County, is Guangxin County.

The distance between the two counties is a bit far, but if we go fast enough, we should be able to get there in one day and one night.

We have obtained a lot of food and grass from Liu Bei, so it should not be a problem to last for two more days.

Seeing that Sun Jian didn't say anything, Zhou Yu guessed that Sun Jian was probably thinking about the food and fodder issue, so he spoke immediately.

"My Lord, we can stop at Guangxin County, but we can take the land route and send the food and fodder over."

"This is the only way, but once we take the land route, the risks will increase a lot."

What Sun Jian was talking about was naturally Zhang Liao and Tiefutu who were hiding in the dark.

"Don't worry, lord. After counting, we found more than 400 corpses of Iron Buddha on the ground, which means that Zhang Liao has less than 100 men. Zhang Liao will definitely not cause any interference to us."

After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Sun Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

And Zhang Liao came to Gu Rubing.

At this time, Gu Rubing had a gloomy face as he looked at Zhang Liao in front of him.

"Zhang Liao, you know you are wrong."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liao knelt down on the ground.

"My lord, I know I was wrong. Please punish me!"

Gu Rubing nodded and asked again: "If I give you another chance, will you still do that?"

"meeting!"

Zhang Liao answered without any hesitation, and it seemed as if he had not even thought about it.

"Ok?"

Gu Rubing looked at Zhang Liao in front of him with a look of surprise.

"My lord, even if we give Liao a chance to start over, Liao will do the same. But if it happens again, I will not let Iron Pagoda suffer such heavy casualties. I did not expect Huang Gai to appear."

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you? Mobilizing troops without permission is a serious crime."

"I am afraid, but my lord, if you want to win, you must do it. The situation at that time was very urgent. There was no time to ask for orders. I could only make the decision myself."

Looking at Zhang Liao's appearance, Gu Rubing had a blank expression on his face.

"I can spare you the punishment for this matter. The wharf in Longbian County has been destroyed. Sun Jian's grain and grass must be docked somewhere else. The most likely place is Guangxin County. There is a distance between Guangxin County and Longbian County. I need you to burn their grain and grass in the middle."

"No problem, but my lord, the Iron Pagoda has already..."

"Even without the Iron Pagoda, we still have the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun, right?"

"Yes!"

Soon, Zhang Liao left the camp with the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun.

Zhang Ren walked up to Gu Rubing.

"My lord, there are only two thousand men. Do you want me to support Wenyuan?"

"No, you have to trust Wenyuan. We have already done everything we can. As long as we can tie down Sun Jian's main force, Wenyuan will not be in too much danger." Zhang Liao led the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun and marched quickly.

Finally, one day later, they arrived at the outskirts of Guangxin City.

At this time, there were already ships docked at the dock, and many people had already started moving food and supplies at the dock.

Soon, the first batch of food and grass began to leave Guangxin City and was transported to Longbian City.

The person in charge of the escort this time was Zhou Tai.

Sun Jian knew the importance of food and fodder this time, so he specially appointed Zhou Tai to be in charge of transporting the food and fodder.

Zhou Tai knew that Zhang Liao would definitely come to interfere with him, but they also knew that the Iron Pagoda had only about a hundred people and could not pose much threat to them. This time, in addition to the 5,000 people escorting the grain and grass, Zhou Tai also had 5,000 elite soldiers who were responsible for guarding the safety of the grain and grass team.

With an odds of one hundred to ten thousand, Zhou Tai believed that even Zhang Liao would not be able to win.

However, even though he thought this, Zhou Tai was still a little nervous.

After walking for a whole day, nothing happened along the way and Zhou Tai's tension was relieved a little.

"General, it's getting dark. Should we find a place to rest? We've been walking all day and are all tired."

Zhou Tai looked at the soldiers around him and saw the fatigue in their eyes, then nodded.

Soon, a simple camp was set up.

For safety reasons, Zhou Tai arranged a large number of sentries.

late at night.

Zhou Tai and his friends are resting.

Zhang Liao and the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun slowly approached.

After walking a few steps, I saw several sentries.

Several of the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun sneaked up under the moonlight and stabbed him to death at the fastest speed.

Then everyone continued to move forward.

Zhang Liao wrapped all the horses' hooves with cloth to reduce the noise made by the horses' walking.

A sentry left his post without permission and ran under a tree because he wanted to relieve himself.

However, when he finished his work and turned around, he saw Zhang Liao leading the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun slowly approaching the camp.

The sentry immediately took out a flare.

A loud explosion startled Zhou Tai and the others.

Zhang Liao didn't expect that even though he was so careful, he was still discovered.

After killing the sentry with a single blow, he no longer hid and rushed towards the camp.

Zhou Tai immediately organized everyone and left with food and supplies.

However, because the distance was too close, even if Zhou Tai and his men reacted, it would be impossible for them to take away the food.

Just when they were busy, Zhang Liao and the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun finally came to attack.

Zhou Tai couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw this, and then immediately commanded five thousand elite soldiers to step forward and stop them.

However, when these elite soldiers encountered the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun, their formation was directly broken up.

Countless screams sounded.

Zhou Tai didn't expect that Zhang Liao actually brought two thousand people with him, and after all of them, Zhang Liao was left with only a hundred people.

Seeing that his elite troops could not withstand Zhang Liao's charge, Zhou Tai knew in his heart that all the food and supplies were finished.

Seeing Zhang Liao rushing towards the food and grass, he threw the kerosene he carried with him directly on it.

The other Eighteen Riders of Yanyun did the same thing and threw the torches in their hands onto the pile of grain and grass.

In an instant, the raging flames directly ignited all the food and grass.

Looking at the fire in front of him, Zhou Tai collapsed to the ground instantly.

"It's over, it's all over..."

Zhou Tai stared blankly at the flames in front of him.

"General, let's go!"

A deputy general stepped forward, helped Zhou Tai up, and pulled Zhou Tai onto his horse and ran away.

He failed to defend the dock. If Zhou Yu and Huang Gai had not been in front to withstand Sun Jian's wrath, he would have been killed by Sun Jian long ago.

Now, escorting food and grass was such an important task. Two hundred thousand troops were waiting for him to bring the food and grass back, but the food and grass were burned.

Thinking of this, Zhou Tai looked at Zhang Liao not far behind him, and a surge of anger burst out from his heart.

"Zhang Liao, I'm going to fight you."

Zhou Tai shouted and rushed towards Zhang Liao with his sword in hand.

Seeing this, the deputy general on the side rushed Zhou Tai off his horse.

"General, let's go, we are no match for Zhang Liao."

The severe pain from falling off the horse made Zhou Tai gradually calm down.

Looking at Zhang Liao who was killing soldiers in the chaos, the anger in his heart was quickly suppressed by fear.

"withdraw!"

In the end, Zhou Tai could only evacuate here quickly with his army.

Zhang Liao didn't care whether Zhou Tai left or not. What he cared about was whether all the food and grass could be burned by this fire.

After watching the fire burn for a while, Zhang Liao felt that the time was almost up, so he leisurely left with the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun.

When Sun Jian heard Zhou Tai's report that the first batch of grain and grass had been burned by Zhang Liao again, he felt bad.

Sun Jian was so angry that his whole body was shaking as he looked at Zhou Tai who was kneeling on the ground.

"Someone, take Zhou Tai away and chop him up."

"Lord, no!"

Zhou Yu and others immediately stepped forward to plead for Zhou Tai.

"My lord, Zhou Tai was indeed at fault this time, but we did not expect Zhang Liao to receive reinforcements. We must take a long-term view on the issue of food and grass. Fortunately, this is only the first wave of food and grass, not all of it. Even if it is gone, it will not delay us."

After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Sun Jian gradually calmed down.

Now he has lost a batch of food and grass. If he kills another general, then the loss will outweigh the gain.

Thinking of this, Sun Jian sighed, then looked at Zhou Yu beside him.

"Gongjin, Zhang Liao has been harassing our food supplies. Do you have any good ideas?"

Zhou Yu hesitated for a long time after hearing this.

Even he felt a little scared when facing Zhang Liao, so how could he have any good solution?

After a long while, Zhou Yu slowly said: "My lord, with our current combat capability, it is impossible to defend against Zhang Liao. We can only send heavy troops to escort the grain and grass. Only in this way can we ensure the safety of the grain and grass."

Upon hearing this, Sun Jian looked at Sun Ce and Gan Ning standing beside him.

Perhaps if we send out a legendary general, we won’t have to worry about Zhang Liao.

However, as soon as this idea came to mind, it was dismissed by Sun Jian.

Once Gu Rubing knows that he has found a legendary general, then Gu Rubing will definitely send a legendary general. (End of this chapter)
