When the two men saw that Gu Rubing was a little angry, Wei Yan stepped forward.

"My lord, this is the case..."

Wei Yan told Gu Rubing everything that was going to happen next.

This time Gu Rubing finally understood.

Originally, because of the sudden appearance of the army, Wei Yan and his men were a little panicked and lost a lot of territory, but at least they occupied the entire Dai County. After all, the loss was not great, after all, the retreat was still timely.

Just two days ago, a group of Gu people suddenly rushed into the camp.

There weren't many of them, only a few dozen at a time.

Taking advantage of the cover of night, he sneaked into the camp.

And released a large number of poisonous insects.

For a moment, there were countless casualties in the front army camp, and many soldiers fell to the ground and screamed.

Wei Yan and his army had a force of 100,000 men, with 50,000 men stationed in the vanguard camp.

Although the poisonous insects appeared suddenly, because of the presence of Hua Tuo's medicinal powder, although there were considerable casualties, they were quickly suppressed by the medicinal powder, and the poisonous insects retreated one after another.

However, Zhang He looked at the chaotic front army camp. When he heard that they had caused nearly 10,000 casualties to the other side when there were only dozens of people, and yet they were able to leave safely, he was immediately furious.

When he thought that there were only dozens of Gu tribe members, he realized that there was no need to endure it, so he immediately led all the vanguard troops that could still move and chased after them.

In this pursuit, Zhang He mobilized nearly 40,000 people to chase those dozens of people.

However, when they walked outside a valley.

All traces of those dozens of people disappeared, and Zhang He could not find any trace at all. Moreover, the valley ahead looked very dangerous and very suitable for an ambush.

Finally, Zhang He was ready to give up and turned around to leave.

However, at this moment, a cry of surprise was heard.

"General, they are just ahead, look."

Upon hearing this, Zhang He looked into the valley and indeed saw several Gu tribe members flashing by in the valley.

"General, this group of people killed so many of our brothers. We can't just let it go. If this gets out, how will our front army maintain its reputation? And won't we avenge so many brothers?"

Looking at the deputy general beside him, Zhang He shook his head. He felt that things were not that simple.

"General, we have suffered so many losses and lost so many brothers. We cannot let them die in vain."

"Yes, General, we must be paid. There are only a few dozen of them. Even if they attack us by surprise, what damage can they cause us? We brothers are not afraid of death. General, let us explore the way."

A centurion said this and walked out with his men.

Seeing this scene, Zhang He felt a little bit stuck in a dilemma.

After all, they were able to break into the army camp of a large army with just a hundred men and injure nearly ten thousand people, yet they were able to leave safely.

Regardless of which one it is, it is enough to make them feel aggrieved. This is a shame for all the Lie Army.

"Okay, since we are going in, let's go together. If anything unexpected happens, the rear team will immediately become the front team and withdraw from the valley."

"Yes!"

Zhang He had no choice but to lead his 40,000 troops slowly into the valley.

As a result, when they had just walked half the distance, Zhang He saw a group of poisonous insects appear in front of them.

There were so many poisonous insects, and the narrow terrain of the valley made it very inconvenient for the army to move around.

"Evacuate."

Zhang He knew that if he fought with the poisonous insects in this place, he would definitely lose, and if he wanted to be safe, he had to withdraw from the canyon.

However, at this moment, screams of fear were heard from behind.

After asking, Zhang He found out that a large number of poisonous insects had also appeared in the rear.

Now the 40,000-strong army is blocked by the poisonous insects, and they can neither advance nor retreat.

Finally, Zhang He gritted his teeth and immediately commanded his troops to break out from the front.

Zhang He took the lead and killed all the poisonous insects blocking the road.

But the constant appearance of poisonous insects made Zhang He a little tired.

After finally breaking out of the encirclement, Zhang He breathed a sigh of relief and checked the number of people around him. He found that only more than 10,000 people had rushed out, and the rest were trapped in the valley.

Zhang He knew that this time it was all because of his wrong decisions that the troops suffered heavy losses, and he would definitely be punished when he returned.

"Everyone, hold on a little longer. We will be safe once we get back to the camp."

Zhang He looked at the valley behind him, from which screams could be heard from time to time.

The shortcut through the valley was definitely not feasible, so Zhang He could only lead everyone to take a detour.

However, Zhang He's route seemed to have been predetermined by someone.

No matter where you go, you can see traces of poisonous insects, and there are quite a lot of them.

Although they managed to escape from several ambushes, the total number of soldiers who returned was only about 5,000. Moreover, all of them were more or less poisoned. This was why when Gu Rubing arrived at the military camp, he saw soldiers with festering bodies everywhere, lying on the ground wailing.

When Gu Rubing heard this and looked at Zhang He who was kneeling on the ground, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

This time, it was Zhang He's complete command error. It was Zhang He's responsibility, sure, but how should he punish Zhang He?

Zhang He's ability is obvious to everyone. This time it can be said to be a complete accident, but even he could not bear the loss of 40,000 people.

Just as Gu Rubing was thinking about it, a captain of the roaming crossbow force came directly in front of Gu Rubing.

"My Lord, we just got some intelligence."

Gu Rubing opened the information.

According to intelligence, Miao Moqing had already entered Youzhou with the Gu tribe and began to assist Shi Xie. Zhang He's defeat was entirely planned by Miao Moqing.

It's Miao Moqing again. You really made me suffer so much.

Gu Rubing looked into the distance with a gloomy face.

"Zhang He, you will definitely be punished for this failure, but I can spare you the punishment for now. I want you to make up for your crime and make up for your loss. And Wei Yan, you can't escape this loss either. You are also responsible. Dozens of people broke through the defense of your front army camp. What are you doing? I will give you five days. You must break through the defense of Dai County as quickly as possible."

Upon hearing this, the two of them looked happy and nodded immediately.

"I have not brought any reinforcements this time. You only have 50,000 men left. I will try my best to urge Hua Tuo to come and treat the injured soldiers. In the absence of any reinforcements, I want you to use the forces in your hands to break through the defense of Dai County within five days. If you fail to do so, you will be beheaded. Can you do it?"

"If we can do it, we are willing to issue a military order!"

Soon, the military order was issued.

Gu Rubing immediately sent the general's order to all parts of the army.

After the two of them walked out of the tent, they saw Zhao Yun chasing after them. "Are you two feeling a little angry?"

"Don't worry, Zilong. We are a little angry, but it is definitely not directed at the Lord. We are just asked to sign a military order, which means that the Lord no longer trusts us. All this is because of the leader of the Gu tribe."

Hearing this, Zhao Yun smiled and patted their shoulders.

"You have wronged the lord. How could the lord not know your abilities? The lord has always trusted people and never doubted them. How could he doubt your abilities? The reason why I asked you to sign a military order is because this military order is for everyone in the army to see. The trouble you have caused this time is really big, and even the lord cannot suppress it easily. He can only use the military order to help you delay. As long as you can break through Shi Xie's defense in Dai County, you can offset your merits and demerits and avoid punishment."

After Zhao Yun said this, Wei Yan and Zhang He finally reacted.

I only feel ashamed towards Gu Rubing.

When Gu Rubing saw Zhao Yun coming back, he immediately smiled and said, "They still have some opinions about me, right?"

Zhao Yun nodded but said nothing.

"Zilong, according to intelligence, there are now 60,000 troops of Shi Xie in Dai County, as well as a hundred people from the Gu tribe, and a legendary general Miao Moqing. The commander of the 60,000 people is the famous general Wang Yue. If this battle were in your hands, how would you plan to fight?"

"My lord, based on our current situation, Wen Chang and his men only have 50,000 men. The other side is defending the city. If we attack by force, we may not be their opponent. The only way is to launch a surprise attack."

Zhao Yun’s judgment was the same as Gu Rubing’s: the only way to break into the city was by surprise attack.

Zhongshan County where they were located was connected to Dai County. If they wanted to break through Dai County, they had to first resolve Guangchang. Wang Yue’s troops were also stockpiled in Guangchang County.

"My Lord, Yun has something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not!"

"But it doesn't matter!"

After obtaining Gu Rubing's authorization, Zhao Yun finally spoke.

"My lord, I understand your desire to help them, but Wenchang and his men only have 50,000 men, and there is also Miao Moqing and the Gu tribe in Guangchang City. It is difficult for them to be their opponents. If they fail to complete the task within the time limit, will they really be beheaded?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Rubing looked at Zhao Yun and laughed.

"Zilong, I know how difficult this mission is, so I never intended to let them complete it on their own. But I can't help too much. Do you remember the mission I gave you before?"

"Remember, kill Miao Moqing."

"Yes, your mission now is to be in the enemy's city. Shouldn't you go and complete your mission? When the two of you fight, you will have to destroy some city walls, right? Wei Yan and the others will have their chance. If they can't win, then I can't do anything about it. I don't leave any trash in my hands."

Zhao Yun understood immediately.

On the Guangchang city wall.

Wang Yue stood on the city wall, looking into the distance with a smile on his face.

Miao Moqing stood beside Wang Yue.

"My ancestor ordered me to come and help defend the city. Now that half of Liu Bei's troops have been destroyed, my mission is basically accomplished."

"Is the Miao tribe leader leaving?"

"Well, Liu Zhang's second batch of reinforcements is about to arrive. I can't stay here, lest Liu Zhang's men see me. I will leave early tomorrow morning. Before the reinforcements arrive, you should have no problem defending the city with the 60,000 men in your hands."

"Okay, please ask the Miao tribe leader to go back and tell our ancestor that I will definitely do what I promised him."

After the two of them finished talking, Wang Yue also finished inspecting the city wall, and the two of them left the city wall directly.

After Miao Moqing separated from Wang Yue, she walked towards her room.

However, the road, which used to have some pedestrians, was now extremely quiet, with no one on the street.

At first Miao Moqing didn't care about anything, but when she looked outside her room and saw that there was not even a tribesman guarding the door, Miao Moqing finally realized something was wrong.

"Who is it? Come out."

Miao Moqing directly drew out the sword in his hand and looked around vigilantly.

At this moment, Miao Moqing's door was opened, and Zhao Yun was holding a silver spear with blood still flowing from the tip of the spear.

Seeing Zhao Yun's appearance, it was obvious that all the Gu tribe members around him were also dead.

"I didn't expect that Zhao Yun would actually attack ordinary people."

"You are not qualified to say that. The lord said that you will be the first legendary general to die in battle."

Miao Moqing's expression suddenly changed when he heard this.

Before, these legendary generals all had golden medals of immunity from death. No matter what they did, they would not completely kill the opponent. After all, a legendary general's dying counterattack could be very terrifying. But this time, the murderous aura and momentum of Zhao Yun made it obvious that he was not threatening himself, but really wanted to kill him.

"Liu Bei wants to kill me. Doesn't he care about the established rules?"

"Huh, rules? You still know there are rules, but have you forgotten, Miao leader, that you were the first to break the rules?"

After saying that, Zhao Yun didn't give Miao Moqing time to react. He rushed towards Miao Moqing with his spear in hand.

Miao Moqing summoned out the Gu mother.

After a few days of rest, the Gu mother has recovered.

However, when facing Zhao Yun, Gu Mu was extremely cautious, and every time she attacked, she was very defensive.

For a moment, Zhao Yun had no way to do anything to the Gu mother.

But this is also in line with Zhao Yun’s original plan.

The two fought for dozens of rounds, and Zhao Yun fought and retreated, and soon arrived at the city wall.

"Silver Dragon."

Seeing that they were almost there, Zhao Yun released the silver dragon.

Seeing the appearance of the silver dragon, Miao Moqing subconsciously asked the Gu Mother to protect herself in front of her, ready to withstand Zhao Yun's full-strength attack.

However, at this moment, Miao Moqing discovered that the silver dragon was not heading towards her, but was rushing towards the city wall beside her.

The soldiers standing guard on the city wall who were originally watching the excitement, when they saw the silver dragon flying towards them, all of them broke out in cold sweats and turned around and ran away.

However, their response was too late.

The silver dragon created a gap.

Wang Yue and others nearby had already heard the noise and rushed over.

When he saw that the city wall had been smashed, Zhai Ye immediately realized that something was wrong and immediately took people to gamble with the city wall.

But here it is.

A burst of shouting and killing came from outside.

"Just let me kill you."

Wei Yan and Zhang He, with their 50,000 men, rushed directly into the city wall.

The two sides fought a bloody battle at the breach in the city wall. (End of this chapter)
