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

Hearing this, Gu Rubing had no choice but to give up his idea.

After the two men finished discussing, Gu Rubing was worried about the situation in Youzhou, so he immediately left Constantinople and rushed towards Youzhou.

As soon as Gu Rubing and his companions returned to the Youzhou camp, Wei Yan brought them a letter from Liu Zhang.

The two pieces of letter paper were filled with words, but they only said one thing, that is, he was unaware of all the actions of the Gu Clan.

But now Gu Rubing is too lazy to bother with Liu Zhang. The person he needs to deal with right now is Shi Xie of Youzhou.

Youzhou has been in Shi Xie's hands for too long, and now Shi Xie has ruined Youzhou beyond recognition.

After all, these are all Gu Rubing's people.

"What is the situation in Pingshu City now?"

"My lord, in Pingshu City, there are 30,000 Youzhou troops led by Wang Yue and 60,000 Western Legion troops. Now there are nearly 100,000 soldiers gathered in the city, but we can only send out less than 50,000 soldiers. My lord, our reinforcements..."

"Cough cough!"

Zhang He immediately interrupted Wei Yan.

When Gu Rubing came back, he was only accompanied by Zhao Yun, and had no soldiers or horses.

It is obvious that Gu Rubing's troop deployment failed this time.

At this time, Wei Yan asked about the military affairs, which was just like rubbing salt into Gu Rubing's wounds.

Wei Yan naturally understood this logic, but the situation was now urgent. If reinforcements did not arrive, it would be troublesome to defend the city, let alone attack it.

Gu Rubing looked at Wei Yan and Zhang He and laughed.

"Reinforcements will arrive soon. This time, I got 50,000 soldiers from Sun Jian. But he is Sun Jian after all. You should know what kind of people these 50,000 are. It's best to be mentally prepared. But 50,000 is better than nothing."

When they heard that there were 50,000 soldiers and horses, they became excited.

"My lord, we now have 100,000 soldiers and the enemy also has 100,000. Under such circumstances, if we want to capture Pingshu City, our losses will be huge. I have a plan that can defeat the enemy, but you may be in some danger."

Zhang He couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

Let the lord take risks. If they really encounter any danger, you can imagine what will happen to them.

"Oh? Tell me."

Gu Rubing didn't care about those things. Wei Yan was good at taking risky moves and using strange strategies. Maybe Wei Yan could really break the deadlock this time.

"My Lord, my suggestion..."

Wei Yan told him all his plans.

When Zhang He heard Wei Yan's plan, his hair stood on end.

"Nonsense, Wenchang, how could you let the lord fall into such danger?"

"Hey, I think this is a good idea. As long as we handle it properly, it is not impossible to swallow up the 100,000 troops in Pingshu City in one go."

Upon hearing this, Zhang He immediately stood up.

"My lord, please don't do that. If anything happens to you, how can we still live in this world with dignity?"

Wei Yan didn't say anything, but just watched quietly.

Gu Rubing waved his hand.

"Okay, let's proceed according to Wenzhang's plan. My safety is nothing. If I can use my safety to exchange for the recovery of Youzhou, this deal is a good deal."

Zhang He wanted to say something, but was stopped by Gu Rubing.

Wang Yue stood on the city wall and looked in the direction of the Lie army camp.

The deputy general at the side walked up to Wang Yue.

"General, what are you looking at?"

"Now, we have 100,000 soldiers, but Liu Bei only has 50,000. 50,000 are suppressing 100,000. No matter how I think about it, I feel a little aggrieved. But my lord ordered me not to take the initiative to leave. Is such a good opportunity going to be wasted like this?"

"General, the lord is in the rear, how could he possibly know what is happening in the front? Perhaps the lord is still considering the situation as before, when our forces are still at a disadvantage."

The deputy general's words ignited Wang Yue's suppressed heart.

At the same time, it also gave Wang Yue a reason to disobey Shi Xie's orders.

Yes, how could Shi Xie know the situation on the front line? A general is not bound by the orders of his king when he is away from the front. Now a great opportunity is right in front of him. If he can defeat Gu Rubing's 50,000 troops, Youzhou will no longer be threatened by Gu Rubing.

Thinking of this, Wang Yue began to prepare for a night attack on Gu Rubing's camp.

late at night.

Three thousand cavalrymen quietly left the city, came to the vicinity of the Lie army camp, and hid themselves.

Wei Yan inspected the entire camp as usual, and after making sure there were no problems, he relaxed and went back to rest.

An hour later, three thousand cavalrymen rushed out.

The Lie army camp suddenly fell into chaos.

However, the overall military discipline of the Lie Army is much better than that of other major princes.

There was no need for Zhang He and Wei Yan to rectify the chaotic situation. The centurions alone were able to quickly organize their men and launch a tentative counterattack.

Soon a large number of soldiers gathered behind the front army camp, forcing the 3,000 cavalry to give up the idea of ​​a sneak attack and retreat quickly.

Seeing this, Wei Yan immediately got angry.

“Come as you please, leave as you please? What do you think this place is? Everyone follow me and kill them. Make sure these guys never come back.”

"Yes!"

Everyone shouted loudly at once.

Then he followed Wei Yan and charged out.

Zhang He hesitated and did not follow immediately.

Wei Yan, who was about to rush out, saw that Zhang He did not catch up, so he immediately slowed down, let his soldiers charge first, and then he came to Zhang He's side.

"Come on, what are you dawdling for?"

"My lord..."

"With Zilong here, what are you worried about? These people attacked us by surprise. If we don't fight back, won't the Youzhou army look down on us? Even if the lord recovers Youzhou, there will definitely be people who will not obey."

Upon hearing this, Zhang He looked at Wei Yan, and finally without hesitation, he followed Wei Yan and charged out.

These three thousand cavalry were all light cavalry, and all of them were Wuhuan cavalry. They were extremely fast. I don’t know if it was because there were pursuers from behind, but after their sneak attack failed, they did not immediately return to Pingshu City, but instead took Wei Yan and others to circle outside.

When Zhao Yun saw Wei Yan and the others chasing after them, it was too late to stop them.

Then Zhao Yun immediately came to Gu Rubing's tent.

"My lord, the front camp was attacked by the Youzhou army. The Youzhou army's attack failed. Wei Yan and Zhang He have taken everyone to chase them."

After hearing Zhao Yun's report, Gu Rubing nodded without saying anything.

"My lord, Wei Yan and Zhang He are leading everyone to chase after them. There are less than 5,000 soldiers and horses in the camp right now, and they are all infantry. If someone launches a surprise attack at this time, we..."

"It's okay. Don't we have you, Zilong? And this was part of our plan."

When Wei Yan and Gu Rubing discussed the plan, Zhao Yun was not present, so he did not know their plan.

Hearing what Gu Rubing said, Zhao Yun just frowned slightly and didn't say anything.

Just after the three thousand light cavalry led Wei Yan and his men away, nearly a thousand people slowly walked out of the woods.

These people were all wearing black night clothes and had black scarves on their faces.

The leader was a man holding a long sword.

This is a very rare weapon on the battlefield. Being able to use such a weapon means that the opponent's identity has already been guessed.

The soldiers on guard immediately became alert when they saw these people.

As a result, just as the soldier was about to say something, he felt a chill in his throat. Then the soldier found that he could not say a word and even collapsed.

Soon, a thousand men in black rushed into the camp.

By the time the soldiers in the camp discovered them, the group had already reached the central military camp.

Soon, the remaining two thousand people gathered together and guarded outside Gu Rubing’s tent.

"kill."

The leading man in black held a long sword, shouted loudly, and rushed towards the group of soldiers.

Gu Rubing also came out at this time.

Watching the fighting crowd.

He discovered that the behavioral moves of these thousands of people were not trained in the military camp. Their moves were varied and very confusing.

However, it was this kind of chaos that made the Lie Army soldiers, who came from the regular army, too busy for a while, and the battle situation actually showed a trend of retreat.

Soon, the casualties of the Lie army increased and there was a trend of retreat.

The leading man in black saw that he was getting closer and closer to Gu Rubing, so he swung the sword in his hand and a stream of sword energy stabbed directly at Gu Rubing.

However, just as the sword energy was about to reach Gu Rubing.

Zhao Yun swung the silver spear in his hand, directly dispersing the sword energy.

"Wang Yue, you dare!"

The man in black was stunned when he heard this.

He didn't expect that even after disguising himself like this, he could still be recognized.

Since he was recognized, Wang Yue simply stopped pretending and took off the black scarf on his face.

"Zhao Yun, you are a legendary general. How dare you attack us? Have you forgotten the rules you set?"

"Rule? If I remember correctly, you were the first to break the rule. I didn't kill you all directly, which was already a great favor to you. If you hadn't attacked my lord, I wouldn't have stopped you."

Hearing this, Wang Yue knew that with Zhao Yun around, he had no plans to kill Gu Rubing, so he simply prepared to evacuate with his men.

"withdraw!"

As Wang Yue's voice sounded, the team of a thousand people began to rush quickly out of the camp.

However, after just a few steps, the originally dark camp suddenly became bright.

Countless torches lit up around the camp.

"Haha, Wang Yue, we spent a lot of effort to lure you out. It's a pity that you only brought a thousand people with you. Aren't you afraid that we won't leave the camp according to your plan?"

Wei Yan walked out of the crowd laughing.

"Wei Yan!"

Seeing that Wei Yan and his men had returned and transferred all the troops back, Wang Yue's face suddenly changed.

This was obviously planned, otherwise how could he come back so quickly.

Wei Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense with Wang Yue and just waved his hand.

All the soldiers began to rush towards Wang Yue.

at the same time.

Zhang He brought a group of people and quietly came to the outside of Pingshu City, and they all changed into the clothes of the Youzhou Army.

"Open the door quickly."

A deputy general beside Zhang He stood outside the city wall and shouted excitedly.

"Who are you?"

"We followed the general to attack the Lie army camp. Our plan has been exposed and the general has been surrounded by the enemy. Please let us in quickly. The general will be here soon."

Upon hearing this, the deputy general on the city wall's face changed. He looked at Zhang He and others below the city and hesitated for a moment.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll pick you up now."

After saying this, the deputy general turned and left.

Seeing this scene, Zhang He couldn't help but frown.

The situation was exactly as he thought, the city gate was tricked open.

But the situation is a little different.

Everything went too smoothly. In the past, when we tried to break into the city gate, we would always have to test the enemy before we were allowed to enter.

Just as Zhang He was thinking about it, the city gate slowly opened.

Zhang He saw through the crack in the door that the person who greeted them was not the deputy general, but a group of archers.

"No, retreat quickly!"

Just as Zhang He and his men started to move, the deputy general's voice was heard from inside the city gate.

"Fire arrows."

In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired!

Countless soldiers around Zhang He were killed or wounded in a short period of time.

After only two rounds of arrow rain, only less than five hundred of the thousand men around Zhang He were left.

Fortunately, they were all cavalry, and Zhang He reminded them in time, so they evacuated early.

After only two rounds of arrows, Zhang He and his men were out of the range of the enemy archers.

"General, we lost more than half of our men this time."

The deputy general walked to Zhang He's side. He was a little confused at this time. Everything seemed perfect and there was nothing suspicious at all. How could the other party find out that there was something wrong with their identities?

The same doubts also existed in Zhang He's mind.

But now is not the time to think about this. Since the city gate cannot be tricked open, Zhang He can only wave his hand.

As Zhang He's orders were issued, nearly ten thousand soldiers rushed out from the woods on both sides. These were all prepared by Zhang He to seize the city gate, but he didn't expect that the first step would fail.

"retreat."

By the time Zhang He returned to the camp, the battle had already ended.

Wei Yan was directing everyone to clean up the battlefield.

After seeing Zhang He coming back, Wei Yan immediately stepped forward.

"How is it going? Have you taken Pingshu City?"

Zhang He shook his head helplessly.

Seeing this, Wei Yan sighed.

"Wang Yue ran away?"

"They ran away. The guys Wang Yue brought are very strange. Their moves don't seem to be unified at all, and their fighting ability is extremely strong. They don't seem to be from the army, but rather like gangsters. We have captured a few prisoners, and the master is personally interrogating them. There should be results soon."

"Ok."

In a tent in the camp.

Several captives dressed in black were tied to the ground, while Gu Rubing sat in front of them, looking at them leisurely.

"Looking at you guys, you're probably not from the military, are you guys from the underworld?"

When these people heard Gu Rubing's words, they all lowered their heads and no one answered Gu Rubing.

"It seems like you guys don't want to cooperate? That's really a pity." (End of this chapter)
