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

Cao Ren did not expect that reinforcements would arrive.

"Stop it, let me stop them."

However, Cao Ren's voice had long been drowned out by the sound of fighting, and at this time Zhong Hui also led his men out to kill.

At this time, Zhong Hui also led the people in the city to fight their way out.

The city gate attacked by Cao Ren was attacked from both sides by Zhang Liao and Zhong Hui.

The troops were quickly defeated.

Zhong Hui also successfully reunited with Zhang Liao.

"General Wenyuan, you are finally here. How many reinforcements have you brought?"

Zhang Liao looked at the battlefield around him and immediately said, "Let's talk about it when we get back."

Zhong Hui nodded.

Not long after, the two returned to Yufu City.

"You guys are back. Shi Ji, your action this time was too dangerous. Although Fuling City is suitable for defense, it is not a very important city. There is no need to defend it forever."

Deng Ai looked at Zhong Hui with some reproach.

However, Deng Ai knew that the reason why Zhong Hui did not leave was entirely because of his own reasons.

"Hehe, don't worry, I can still hold on for a while, but if General Wenyuan hadn't arrived in time, I might not have been able to hold on. I didn't expect that the Wei army would attack the city so fiercely this time. All three famous generals are here, and they really don't give me any chance."

Seeing Zhong Hui speaking so easily, Deng Ai smiled helplessly.

Three famous generals, that's pretty terrifying.

He was facing the siege of two famous generals, the Xiahou brothers, with 30,000 men, and was almost breached. It was very difficult for Zhong Hui to hold out until now against three famous generals alone with 20,000 men.

"Okay, the lord's troops are coming soon, let's prepare to welcome them."

After hearing this, the two men immediately began to organize their troops.

Not long after, Gu Rubing led an army of 30,000 and slowly entered the city.

"Lord."

When the three saw Gu Rubing, they knelt down at the same time.

"Get up, what's the situation now?"

"My Lord, I lost Fuling City."

Zhong Hui knelt on the ground and looked at Gu Rubing with a face full of shame.

"My lord, the enemy is too strong, otherwise Shi Ji would not have lost the city."

Deng Ai wanted to defend Zhong Hui, but was stopped by Gu Rubing.

"We just lost a city. I thought you would be driven out of Yizhou. Now it seems that you are performing very well. You didn't disappoint me. Shi Ji, get up."

"Thank you for not punishing me, my lord."

After Zhong Hui stood up from the ground, Gu Rubing looked at Deng Ai and asked, "How many people do you have left?"

"My lord, I still have 6,000 men capable of fighting. Shi Ji brought back 10,000 men. There are about 16,000 soldiers in the city now."

"I brought 30,000 people with me. With us here, defending the city should be no problem. I have transferred 20,000 people from Liangzhou, and another 100,000 people are being transferred from Xudu. At most, the people from Xudu will arrive in half a month."

I was surprised to hear that there were 150,000 soldiers and horses.

Zhong Hui suddenly became excited.

With these 150,000 soldiers and horses, he is fully capable of defeating Cao Ren and his men.

At this time, Cao Ren had already arrived at Yufu City with all his troops.

When Cao Ren saw Gu Rubing on the city wall, his face suddenly changed.

He didn't expect that Gu Rubing actually came.

Cao Ren immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Cao Cao in Chengdu.

Seeing that Cao Ren’s face looked strange, Xiahou Dun immediately stood up.

"Don't worry. Even if Liu Bei comes, he doesn't have many soldiers and generals. We have so many people and so many famous generals. Are we still afraid of Liu Bei?"

What Xiahou Dun said was correct.

But Cao Ren still had a great fear of Liu Bei's heart.

As a famous general with commanding talent, Cao Ren knew clearly what his current situation was.

Now he was feeling a little panicked and even a little afraid. The best way now was to give up his command and hand it over to other people.

Cao Ren looked around and finally set his sights on Jiang Wei.

"Boyue, I'll leave this battle to you. How confident are you that you can capture Yufu City?"

Hearing this, Jiang Wei looked at the map and said in a deep voice, "Fifteen days."

Cao Ren nodded.

"From now on, the three armies of Bo Yue are under your command. Your orders are my orders. You have the right to punish everyone, including me, even by beheading."

Hearing this, Jiang Wei's eyes widened.

This was the first time he had obtained such great power.

"General, no, I can't..."

Before Jiang Wei could finish his words, Cao Ren interrupted him with a wave of his hand and turned to look at other people.

"What do you have to say?"

They had all seen Jiang Wei's abilities. Although they were a little surprised that Cao Ren would let Jiang Wei command the army, they did not disagree with Cao Ren's decision. They were just very surprised.

"Since everyone has no objection, from now on, Jiang Wei will be the commander-in-chief of the three armies."

After saying this, Cao Ren walked down from the commander's position and pushed Jiang Wei over.

Jiang Wei sat on the chair, looking at the people in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and the expression on his face changed quietly.

"Since the general has asked me to take command, please cooperate with me."

Gu Rubing stood on the city wall, looking at the Cao army camp in the distance, and couldn't help feeling curious.

The soldiers and horses in this city, even including the reinforcements he brought, are only 50,000 people, while Cao Ren and his men have nearly 100,000 people in their hands. How come they have no intention of attacking the city?

Zhang Liao walked to Gu Rubing and put the clothes in his hand on Gu Rubing's shoulders.

"My lord, it's windy outside. Why don't you go back to your room first? We can just watch from here."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rubing smiled and shook his head.

Cao Ren's abnormal behavior made Gu Rubing a little worried.

He and Cao Ren had fought dozens of times, and Gu Rubing could be said to be quite familiar with Cao Ren.

Under such a great advantage, according to Cao Ren's thinking, he would definitely try to test it out.

But now Cao Ren had no intention of even moving, and it was obvious that he had other plans.

While the two were talking, Zhong Hui and Deng Ai also walked up to the city wall.

"My lord, General Wenyuan is right. You should go back and rest. You didn't get a good rest along the way in order to come here to support us. You should go back first. We will just guard here."

Seeing that the three generals were urging him, Gu Rubing no longer insisted and turned to leave the city wall.

Deng Ai left Zhong Hui on the city wall and turned around and left with Zhang Liao.

Zhong Hui sat on the city wall, watching the sunset, and gradually fell asleep.

late at night.

Zhong Hui opened his eyes dazedly, looking at the darkness around him, and couldn't help but curse himself for being careless. Why didn't he patrol and just fall asleep? Then Zhong Hui stood up and habitually looked outside the city wall.

Then he prepared to turn around and go down the city wall.

However, at this moment, Zhong Hui suddenly stopped.

Because he found that he seemed to have seen something just now, something black and moving, like... a human head?
Zhong Hui came to the city wall again, looked at the darkness outside the wall, and looked at the soldiers standing guard with some confusion.

"Did you see anything unusual under the city?"

The soldier shook his head in confusion.

Hearing this, Zhong Hui was still a little worried. He picked up the torch beside him and looked around carefully. He found that there was still nothing. Then he felt that he might have been dazzled.

But even so, for safety reasons, Zhong Hui still threw the torch in his hand towards the place he was suspicious of.

However, as soon as it was thrown, someone screamed.

Then there was a fire man, running non-stop in the darkness.

Seeing this, Zhong Hui did not hesitate and shouted directly: "Enemy attack, everyone get on the city wall."

As the voice fell, the entire Yufu City began to move.

Brother Xiahou, follow Jiang Wei's strategy and sneak into the city late at night.

Who would have thought that when they were almost at the foot of the city, they would actually see the bell appear on the city wall. Xiahou Dun was so frightened that he immediately ordered everyone to crawl on the ground.

In order to avoid being discovered, they did not even wear armor. Their clothes and even their faces were covered with black mud.

These people were lying on the ground, and from a distance it was impossible to tell whether they were human or not.

Originally, Xiahou Dun thought that he could deceive Zhong Hui in this way, but who knew that the torch he suddenly threw out would hit a soldier directly and set his body on fire.

The soldier stood up from the ground in so much pain, rolled over and over, then stood up and ran.

The situation is completely out of control.

The Xiahou brothers knew that they had definitely been exposed, so they didn't care about anything else and directly ordered everyone to attack the city immediately.

Gu Rubing was sleeping and vaguely heard a lot of noise outside.

Immediately afterwards, there was a knock on the door.

"who?"

"My lord, the Wei army is attacking the city gate and has been discovered by Shi Ji."

Attack the city gate?

Upon hearing this, Gu Rubing's eyes widened.

Gu Rubing understood the night attack on the military camp, but he had rarely seen a sneak attack on the city gate. The danger level involved was much higher than that of a night attack on the military camp.

Cao Ren was always cautious in employing troops. It would be more accurate to say that he was cautious because his orders were relatively small.

According to Gu Rubing's calculations, Cao Ren would never be able to do such a big thing, so there is only one possibility, that is, the person commanding the Wei army this time is definitely not Cao Ren, but probably someone else, and this person's bold use of troops and comprehensive ideas are completely beyond Cao Ren's imagination.

Gu Rubing was somewhat interested in people who used troops.

But the first thing to do is to beat back the attackers.

Soon, Gu Rubing tidied his clothes and quickly came to the city wall.

Under the leadership of the Xiahou brothers, some people have already climbed up the city wall.

Gu Rubing saw that these Wei soldiers who had climbed up the city wall were covered in black, just like chimpanzees, and even their faces were covered in black mud.

Zhang Liao led his men to fill the gap immediately.

The battle lasted for two hours.

The sky was beginning to lighten.

The Wei army also began to retreat slowly.

After the Wei army retreated, Gu Rubing counted the number of people.

It was discovered that in this battle, their losses were nearly five thousand people.

They had only 50,000 men in total, and in this battle they lost one-tenth of them.

All this was because Zhong Hui was slow to react.

When Zhong Hui informed everyone that there was a sneak attack, the army of the Xiahou brothers had already begun to officially attack the city.

When Zhang Liao and his men arrived with reinforcements, the two sides were already on the city wall, engaged in a tug-of-war. Under the leadership of the Xiahou brothers, Zhong Hui and his men were naturally no match and could only be beaten back, which caused Gu Rubing to suffer considerable losses.

Zhong Hui walked in front of Gu Rubing.

"My Lord, it's my fault that the loss was so great this time. I really didn't expect that the enemy would choose to attack the city gate at night."

Deng Ai, who was standing by, didn't know what to do when he saw this scene.

The loss of Fuling City was excusable, but this loss was entirely due to Zhong Hui's carelessness.

Attacking the city gate at night, such an absurd thing, almost succeeded.

It was a blessing that they failed. If they had succeeded, how could they have the face to meet their lord?

Seeing that Gu Rubing didn't speak, Deng Ai stepped forward.

"My lord, I..."

Gu Rubing waved his hand to stop Deng Ai.

"I am also responsible for this incident. I did not expect the other party's behavior. How about this? Zhong Hui will be fined for one year as punishment."

"Yes!"

Zhong Hui knew that this was the lightest punishment for him.

"Okay, let's tidy up the battlefield. We can't be careless this time. We must be prepared at any time to deal with the enemy's counterattack. Also, find out who the enemy's leader is."

"Commander? Isn't it Cao Ren?"

"Do you think Cao Ren has such courage?"

Gu Rubing looked at Deng Ai.

Only then did Deng Ai react. Yes, Cao Ren didn't have such courage.

After Jiang Wei saw the Xiahou brothers coming back, he didn't care about their failure this time. He originally came here just to say hello to Liu Bei, and his real plan was still to come.

"Everyone is following the plan."

Everyone nodded quickly.

For the next two days, Yufu City was peaceful and there was no army attacking the city as Gu Rubing had imagined.

At this time, the information about the real commander of the Wei army was also delivered to Gu Rubing.

"Jiang Wei? I didn't expect that Cao Ren would think so highly of Jiang Wei and give him the position of commander-in-chief of the three armies."

The reason why the intelligence came so slowly was entirely because, soon after Gu Rubing ordered an investigation into who the commander of the Wei army was, intelligence was delivered, and the intelligence still showed that it was Cao Ren.

It was Gu Rubing who overcame all objections and allowed the spy to continue the investigation.

This time the real commander-in-chief of the three armed forces was found.

However, through this incident, Gu Rubing also realized that Jiang Wei's appointment as commander was just a decision made by Cao Ren and his men internally, and the soldiers of the three armies were unaware of it.

This also gave Gu Rubing some opportunities.

Just as Gu Rubing was looking at the intelligence in his hand, Deng Ai walked in.

"My lord, the city gate has reported that the Wei army has appeared outside the city, and it seems that they are planning to attack the city."

"Attack the city? They're finally here, but why are they taking so long?" (End of this chapter)
