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

When it comes to legendary generals, they suffer a great loss.

"Okay, then we'll do as you said and send a large force to escort the food and fodder."

However, Sun Jian's order had just come out.

A messenger came in hurriedly.

"King, we have discovered a large number of Liu Bei's troops outside the city. They are heading towards us and it looks like they are going to attack the city."

"What? Attack the city?"

Sun Jian looked at the messenger in front of him with shock.

"Yes."

Sun Jian waved to the messenger beside him.

After the messenger left, Sun Jian looked at Zhou Yu.

"Gongjin, Liu Bei is coming. I'm afraid our plan to defend the food and grass with heavy troops will not be realized. Do you have any other ideas?"

Zhou Yu just smiled bitterly.

Looking at Zhou Yu's appearance, Sun Jian sighed.

"Huang Gai, go and escort the food and fodder. Make sure to deliver it. Our food and fodder can only last for two days at most."

"Yes, my lord."

Huang Gai held two whips in his hands and turned around and left.

Looking at Huang Gai's back, Sun Jian clenched his fists unwillingly.

Just Zhang Liao made them scratch their heads, and Liu Bei had many people who were as powerful as Zhang Liao. How could they fight?
Sun Jian had already thought about retreating at this time.

The messenger was right. Gu Rubing had already mobilized all the troops in his hands and began to besiege the city.

The Taishan tiger bandit took the lead in attacking the city.

Sun Jian used all his troops to defend the city, leaving only 10,000 troops for Huang Gai.

Huang Gai led 10,000 men and hurried to Guangxin City.

Ten thousand people is a considerable group, and Zhang Liao's spies soon discovered the whereabouts of this group.

However, Zhang Liao was not in a hurry to intercept them. He knew that these people were definitely going for food and grass. His mission was not to destroy the enemy, but to burn the food and grass. Since they did not get the food and grass, he was certainly not in a hurry to take action.

Half a day passed.

Huang Gai finally came over with food and fodder.

However, Huang Gai also knew that Zhang Liao must be nearby, so he took every step very carefully. For safety reasons, Huang Gai even borrowed 10,000 elite soldiers from Liu Zhang to protect the grain transport team.

This time, this grain transport team has 20,000 elite soldiers alone, and another 5,000 grain transport team members.

The presence of these people made Huang Gai feel a little more at ease.

After walking for a while, Huang Gai suddenly stopped and looked around vigilantly.

"General, what's wrong?"

The deputy general walked up to Huang Gai and looked at him curiously.

"There's movement nearby."

Hearing this, the deputy general subconsciously tightened the spear in his hand and then looked around.

However, they waited for a long time and did not see anyone. At this moment, a bird flew over the woods and flew into the air.

Seeing the bird appear, the deputy general's nervous mood suddenly relaxed.

Everyone knows that the best way to find out if there are really Tibetans around is to listen to the sounds.

As long as there are animal sounds around, it proves that it is relatively safe. But if there is no animal sound around at all, it means that there must be someone ambushing nearby. Those animals are afraid of people, and once someone appears, they will hide far away.

When Huang Gai saw the bird, he relaxed and secretly cursed himself for being too nervous.

Little did he know that this bird was prepared by Zhang Liao in advance to confuse Huang Gai.

"Keep going."

Huang Gai waved his hand after he finished speaking.

The whole team started moving again.

Zhang Liao had been watching them secretly.

After a long time, the deputy general of the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun quietly came to Zhang Liao's side.

"General, they have entered our encirclement. Shall we start now?"

"No hurry, we are waiting."

Zhang Liao shook his head.

The deputy general standing by saw that half of the 20,000-strong team had already left. He felt anxious because he was afraid that if he didn't take action, he would not be able to stop them.

"General, this is our only chance. Make your move."

"I am now the commander-in-chief of the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun. Do you want to oppose my decision?"

Seeing that Zhang Liao's face had turned gloomy and there was a terrifying murderous aura in his eyes, the deputy general couldn't help but take a step back.

"General, I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."

Seeing his deputy general lower his head, Zhang Liao was too lazy to say anything and just looked into the distance.

Soon, what Zhang Liao was waiting for appeared in front of him.

That is batches of food and fodder.

Seeing that the time had come, Zhang Liao shouted directly: "Go ahead, remember our goal is food and grass, burn them all, and then retreat."

"Yes!"

After all the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun agreed in unison, they rushed directly into the transport team under the leadership of Zhang Liao.

When Huang Gai saw Zhang Liao and his men appear, he immediately ordered everyone to take action.

A battle formation that looked extremely solid appeared in front of Zhang Liao and his men.

However, Zhang Liao simply ignored this battle formation.

Zhang Liao took a fancy to a point and led his men to rush over.

The military formation Huang Gai arranged was for comprehensive defense, but Zhang Liao chose to break through from one point, which could be regarded as finding the weakness of this military formation.

A hole was torn in the army formation.

Huang Gai wanted to mobilize troops to support the gap.

But his team was composed of two groups, one part was their own people, and the other part was Liu Zhang's people.

There is certainly no problem for Huang Gai to command his own people, but for Liu Zhang's people, Huang Gai's orders are dispensable.

If you ask them to do something dangerous, they will not listen to Huang Gai.

Huang Gai soon discovered that when he asked them to block the gap, only his own people rushed towards the gap regardless of their lives, while Liu Zhang's people hid behind and watched the fun, with no intention of helping at all.

Finally, Huang Gai found the person in charge of these 10,000 people and asked him to take 10,000 people to escort the food and grass back, while he took the rest of the people to block Zhang Liao's pursuit.

Since these people don't obey my orders, I might as well let them take the food and leave. This way, I can make the best use of everything.

Huang Gai originally thought that with so many of them, it should not be a problem to stop Zhang Liao.

But who knows, Zhang Liao's goal from the very beginning was food and grass. Wherever the food and grass were, that was Zhang Liao's goal. As for Huang Gai's interception, Zhang Liao didn't care at all.

Huang Gai did not expect that Zhang Liao would actually pass them and rush towards Liu Zhang's men.

"Stop them quickly."

As soon as Huang Gai's voice fell, Liu Zhang's men immediately saw Zhang Liao leading the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun rushing towards them.

When Liu Zhang's men saw the blood on Zhang Liao and his men and the hideous looks on their faces, they were terrified and turned around and ran away.

There is no intention of entanglement or obstruction at all.

When Huang Gai saw Liu Zhang's men running away, his face suddenly changed.

He knew that this batch of food and fodder might not be preserved.

He was a little regretful now. Why did he look for Liu Zhang's men? Since he had already found them, why didn't he let Liu Zhang's commander follow him? With them, perhaps Liu Zhang's men could still form some combat effectiveness.

Zhang Liao did not hesitate at all and threw kerosene directly on the food and grass, and a raging fire appeared again.

Looking at the huge flames, Huang Gai knew that the food and grass were gone again.

Looking at the receding backs of Zhang Liao and his men, Huang Gai gritted his teeth and decided not to go back. He would go to Guangxin City to gather the third batch of grain and grass. No matter what, he would bring the grain and grass back with him.

After Zhang Liao left with the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun, they did not go far, because he found that the direction Huang Gai left was not the location of Longbian City, but the location of Guangxin City. He guessed what Huang Gai was thinking.

But their position was too far to stop Huang Gai and they had no time to go back and restock kerosene.

This time they can only rely on themselves to destroy Sun Jian's food supplies.

Zhang Liao took the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun and hid again.

Huang Gai led his men on a rapid march to Guangxin City and gathered a new batch of food and fodder.

In Huang Gai's opinion, Zhang Liao would never have thought that they would get another batch of food and grass just after they were robbed.

Soon, Huang Gai brought food and supplies and arrived at the place where they were ambushed again.

In order to reduce some noise, Huang Gai did not even ask Liu Zhang for reinforcements this time. He just took his own men and transported them quietly.

However, after walking for a while, Huang Gai felt that everything was going a little too smoothly, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Everyone, be careful."

After hearing Huang Gai's words, everyone became alert. The last time Huang Gai said this, Zhang Liao came out not long after. They were worried that the same situation would occur this time.

After a long time, everyone realized that Huang Gai did not appear, and they relaxed.

Huang Gai also felt that Zhang Liao would never expect that they would launch a surprise attack. The fact that Zhang Liao had not appeared for such a long time also confirmed his guess.

But even so, Huang Gai did not dare to slow down. Instead, he ordered his soldiers to speed up. As long as they entered Longbian County, they would be completely safe.

And because they brought back food and supplies, Sun Jian would definitely reward them.

However, although Huang Gai and his colleagues had good intentions, the reality was very cruel.

A life-threatening voice suddenly sounded.

"Huang Gai, you are really brave. You even dare to come back. It seems that you really don't care about the life and death of your men."

As soon as the voice fell, Zhang Liao rushed out with the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun.

"Fight them."

Huang Gai took out his double whips and rushed towards Zhang Liao.

However, Zhang Liao had no intention of fighting with Huang Gai. Their purpose was very clear: food and fodder.

However, there was not enough kerosene, so Zhang Liao and his men could only burn part of the food and grass, and the rest was scattered on the ground.

In this way, even if Huang Gai and his men tried to collect all the food and fodder, they would not be able to eat clean food.

Huang Gai also discovered Zhang Liao's purpose, and with red eyes, he rushed over with his men.

Zhang Liao did not linger in the battle, but kept moving around in the army formation, breaking Huang Gai's army into pieces. Zhang Liao took the opportunity to destroy all the food.

After Zhang Liao left, Huang Gai quickly gathered all the soldiers and began to collect the food and grass scattered on the ground.

Looking at the food in front of him, which was less than half of what he had before, and even had stones and gravel in a lot of it, making it almost impossible to eat, Huang Gai sighed helplessly.

While Sun Jian was resisting Gu Rubing's frenzied attack, he was also anxiously waiting for Huang Gai's food and grass.

Now, two days have passed since Huang Gai left.

Sun Jian has changed the size of one meal into two meals.

This also caused the soldiers around to complain that there was not enough food.

Sun Jian could only put the blame on the person who cooked.

He symbolically chopped off a few cooks as punishment, and assured them that there would be no problem with food for the next day. Only then did he calm the angry soldiers down.

"Gongjin, the city is surrounded on all sides, and we are running low on food and grass. Huang Gai hasn't come back yet. Should we send someone to look for him?"

"My lord, don't worry, everything should be fine."

Sun Jian nodded, but what worried Sun Jian more was that the city walls were surrounded on all four sides. Even if Huang Gai came back, how would he get into the city?

At this time, Huang Gai had already arrived near Longbian City, but looking at the tightly surrounded Longbian City, Huang Gai suddenly hesitated. He could not find a breakthrough to enter the city.

In the end, Huang Gai could only wait, hoping that by night he could create a gap and allow his food and supplies to enter the city.

Night falls.

The siege finally came to an end.

When Huang Gai was about to take action, Sun Jian's spies also found Huang Gai.

After telling his plan to the spy, the spy immediately returned to the city and reported the matter to Sun Jian.

Sun Jian immediately called Zhou Yu.

"Gongjin, Gongfu's food and grass are outside the city. We need to support them. You take 20,000 people out of the city and tell the soldiers that our food and grass are outside the city. We need them to tear open a hole and bring the food and grass into the city."

"Yes!"

When Zhou Yu heard that Huang Gai had returned with food and fodder, a long-lost smile finally appeared on his face.

Zhou Yu immediately mobilized 20,000 cavalrymen, opened the city gates in the middle of the night, and charged out directly.

At this time, after a day of fierce fighting, the troops besieging the city were already somewhat exhausted. Faced with the charge of 20,000 cavalry, although they had made preparations, they still found it difficult to cope with it.

In addition, when the Wu army heard that it was food supplies that were blocked outside, they all showed a fearless spirit and their combat effectiveness doubled.

After all, compared to starving to death in the city, they would rather die on the battlefield. At least they have a chance to survive and welcome food and supplies into the city. As long as the food and supplies come in, they will not starve to death.

Soon, a hole was torn in the army's outer defense line.

Huang Gai took the opportunity to slowly enter the city with food and fodder.

By the time Gu Rubing received the news and issued the order to mobilize the troops, it was already a little late.

After Huang Gai entered the city, Sun Jian hurried to Huang Gai.

"Gong Fu, how much food and grass did you bring back this time?"

"My lord, rest assured. The food and grass we have this time are enough for us to use for seven days. However..."

Sun Jian didn't hear what Huang Gai said next. He only heard Huang Gai say that he brought enough food and fodder for seven days.

"Okay, okay, with these food and grass, we can fight Liu Bei again." (End of this chapter)
