After receiving the news from Zhao Yun, Gu Rubing also realized that Shi A was going to take action against the food and fodder.

Thinking of this, Gu Rubing already had a way to deal with it.

Soon, Gu Rubing ordered a banquet to be held for all the surrendered soldiers to celebrate their victory.

Shi A also surrendered. Although he did not completely join Gu Rubing's camp, it was only a matter of time, so he was naturally among those invited.

Upon hearing the news, Shi A immediately laughed.

This was exactly the opportunity he had been looking for, but it seemed to have come a little faster.

Not long after, Shi A brought some personal guards and quietly came to the outside of the grain warehouse under the moonlight.

The soldiers guarding the grain and grass saw someone approaching and immediately drew their weapons, looking at Shi A and others with some vigilance.

"Who are you?"

"I am here to change guards under the order of my lord."

After saying that, Shi A actually took out Gu Rubing's token.

As early as when he met Gu Rubing, Shi A had secretly taken away Gu Rubing's token. He knew that he would need it sooner or later, and now was a good opportunity.

When the soldiers saw the token in Shi A's hand, they immediately turned around and left without any doubt about Shi A's words.

Soon, Shi A and others took over the task of standing guard at the granary.

After making sure that there was no one around, a group of people began to take action.

Followed by a strange flute sound.

Countless poisonous insects emerged from the surrounding land and entered the grain warehouse.

Early the next morning.

The entire Pingshu City became busy.

At this time, Shi A also spread the news.

Gu Rubing walked on the street with his soldiers. Looking at the streets that were devastated by the war, he suddenly felt a little melancholy.

"My lord, we have gathered all the surrendered generals."

"Well, let's go, it's time we met them."

Soon, Gu Rubing arrived at the military camp.

At this time, nearly ten thousand soldiers had gathered in the camp's training ground.

All these people surrendered from the Youzhou Army.

Gu Rubing walked up to the high platform and looked at the army of tens of thousands in front of him.

"Soldiers, I know you once fought for Shi Xie. Even those of you who surrendered to me didn't really want to follow me. But it doesn't matter. I don't care. If you want to follow me, stay with me. I can't guarantee anything else, but I can be sure that I will treat all of you fairly. As long as you are capable, I will not be stingy with high positions and generous salaries."

"Of course you can choose to leave. I will give you enough money to go back and farm well. When there is no war in the Han Dynasty, your good days will come."

Gu Rubing's words seemed plain, but they stirred up some waves in the hearts of all the Youzhou soldiers.

These people join the army just to make a living, and they are even willing to rebel against the Han people just for this meal. Perhaps they can get a position in the barracks, and their lives will be better.

But they only found out when they entered the military camp.

If one wants to hold a position in the military camp, besides being capable, one must also have a background and connections. Otherwise, with their status as ordinary people, it would be difficult for them to become a centurion until their death.

However, Gu Rubing's words gave them hope.

After Gu Rubing's words, not a single soldier wanted to leave, and they all raised their arms and shouted.

"I will follow King Lie until death."

Looking at this scene, Shi A's face did not look good.

Gu Rubing won the hearts of ten thousand soldiers with just a few words, so the subsequent actions will definitely be troublesome.

Seeing these tens of thousands of people so excited, Gu Rubing was very satisfied, and finally turned his attention to Shi A and the others.

"I know some of you are not sincere in your support for me, but I don't care. As long as you behave yourself and don't cause me any trouble, I can ignore you. But if you cause me trouble, don't blame me for turning my back on you."

Upon hearing this, the surrendered generals looked at each other, thinking out their own little thoughts in their hearts.

It’s just noon.

Gu Rubing left the military camp directly and set up a banquet.

This is also my way of rewarding the soldiers for their hard work during this period.

At the banquet, Gu Rubing saw that everyone had food and drinks, except Shi A and some others who did not even touch a single bite of the wine or the meat.

"Shi, why don't you like the food? Why don't you eat? Are you afraid that I will poison you?"

Upon hearing this, Shi A hurriedly shook his head and symbolically took a few bites of the food.

Just now.

On the north city wall.

A group of soldiers came to the city wall carrying wine and food.

"Brothers, King Lie has prepared some wine and food for you as a reward for your hard work. Come and eat."

Upon hearing this, the leading centurion immediately rushed over with his men.

"Your Highness Prince Lie is really kind. Even at this time, he still remembers us brothers."

As he said this, the captain began to eat in front of everyone.

The soldiers who were carrying the food didn't eat a single bite and just waited quietly.

Not long after, a soldier suddenly shouted and then fell to the ground.

When everyone saw this, they were nervous at first, but they quickly realized that the man was still holding the jar of wine in his hand when he fell to the ground.

"He's drunk, haha... Don't worry about him, brothers. Xiao Sun can only drink so much. Let's continue eating."

A moment later, all the soldiers, including the captain, fell to the ground.

And there were painful expressions on their faces.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers sneered and immediately opened the city gate.

Following the sound of a whistle arrow.

In the distance, Wang Yue led a large army and began to slowly enter the city.

The soldiers guarding the city wall had excitement in their eyes.

At this moment, they suddenly felt some cold breath behind them.

Then he turned around and saw that the soldiers who should have fallen to the ground had all stood up and were standing behind them.

The leading captain was still smiling at them.

"I've been waiting for you for so long, and you finally took action."

After hearing these words, those people immediately realized that they had been tricked.

He turned around and was about to shout to inform Wang Yue and others who were entering the city.

But they shouted for a long time and no one could make a sound.

Only then did they realize that their throats had been cut and blood was gushing out.

Shi A kept urging Gu Rubing to drink. Not long after, he saw the soldiers and generals beside him falling on the table one after another, and finally even Gu Rubing fell on the table.

Seeing this, Shi A burst into laughter.

Then Shi A turned his attention to Zhao Yun not far away.

At this time, Zhao Yun also fell on the table, looking like he was poisoned.

"Humph, isn't it said that legendary generals cannot be poisoned? I think legendary generals are just like this, no different from ordinary people."

Shi A snorted coldly and then walked out of the tent. After counting the tents of the army, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop on the ground.

A group of people were lying on the ground in a crooked state.

Soon, several of Shi A's personal guards came to Shi A.

"General, everything is ready. General Wang Yue has already led his army into the city and will soon arrive at the military camp."

"Okay, come with me to greet General Wang Yue."

"Yes!"

Shi A and dozens of people immediately rushed to the outside of the military camp.

Wang Yue led his army into the city. Since he saw Shi A's personal guards on the city wall at the beginning, Wang Yue was not wary at all and walked into the city in a swagger.

However, when the army was counted and completely entered the city, the city gate was quickly closed.

Seeing this, Wang Yue looked towards the city gate and the city wall with some concern. When he found that there was nothing unusual, he ignored it. He thought that Shi A didn't want Gu Rubing and the others to escape, so he closed the city gate and then rushed towards the military camp.

However, halfway through the journey, Wang Yue finally discovered something was wrong and ordered the army to stop.

"General, what's wrong?"

A deputy general walked up to Wang Yue curiously.

"Do you feel like there's something wrong?"

"Something wrong?"

Upon hearing this, the deputy general looked around curiously but did not find anything unusual.

Wang Yue immediately shook his head.

Looking at the street in front of him leading to the parade ground, Wang Yue always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Just as Wang Yue was thinking, he saw Shi A walking towards him.

"General, Liu Bei and his men have been poisoned to death by the Gu Clan. According to that person's plan, we should be able to launch a full-scale counterattack."

Hearing this, Wang Yue nodded, and the strange feeling in his heart was completely covered up.

"Come on, take me to see Liu Bei's body."

Wang Yue laughed and immediately urged Shi A to rush to the military camp.

However, when they arrived at the military camp, Wang Yue didn't feel anything, but Shi A was stunned.

"what happened?"

Wang Yue looked at Shi A with some curiosity.

"General, something is wrong. When I came out just now, I saw corpses all over the ground. How come there is not a single corpse in the military camp now?"

When Wang Yue heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

"I heard that Zhao Yun is in the city. Could it be that Zhao Yun took these bodies away? After all, Zhao Yun is a legendary general, and these legendary generals are not afraid of poison."

"Impossible, Zhao Yun was also poisoned at that time and fell on the table."

"what?"

When Wang Yue heard Shi A's words, he was stunned.

A sense of crisis suddenly came over me.

"Zhao Yun was also poisoned. What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Shi A didn't know what the legendary general was capable of, but Wang Yue knew it very well, and that person also specifically said that Zhao Yun was a legendary general and would not be poisoned.

"It's bad, something happened, everyone retreat immediately."

Wang Yue finally realized that they had fallen into a trap, and then turned around and ran.

Just then, a torrential rain of arrows fell directly from the sky.

The entire army was filled with screams.

"Get out."

Wang Yue shouted again, and taking Shi A with him, he turned around and rushed out of the city without caring about the lives of other soldiers.

Seeing this, the soldiers behind could only chase after them quickly under the rain of arrows.

"Haha, Wang Yue, we have been waiting for you for a long time."

As the voice fell, Wei Yan rushed out of the alley with a group of cavalry.

Seeing this, Wang Yue had no intention of fighting at all. Seeing that his way was blocked, he immediately rushed in another direction.

Shi A couldn't understand how his plan was exposed and why these people were not poisoned and looked full of energy.

However, what Shi A didn't know was that all his actions were under Zhao Yun's surveillance.

When Zhao Yun saw that Shi A used Gu Rubing's token to transfer away all the people guarding the grain and grass, Zhao Yun knew that something bad was going to happen.

Originally, Zhao Yun thought that Shi A knew that Youzhou was short of food and grass, so he wanted to steal food by pretending to surrender.

But Zhao Yun did not expect that Shi A actually wanted their lives.

When he saw countless poisonous insects appearing, Zhao Yun originally wanted to take action, but looking at so many poisonous insects in front of him, Zhao Yun knew that it would be difficult to eliminate all of them with his own strength, and it was certain that the food and grass would be contaminated.

So Zhao Yun gave up trying to stop him and told Gu Rubing about it instead.

Gu Rubing immediately replaced the food and fodder overnight, and found a reason to transfer Shi A and others away.

Fortunately, Shi A did not destroy all the food and grass, but only half of it. As for the other half, he obviously planned to take the remaining food and grass for his own use after capturing Pingshu City.

When Wang Yue brought Shi A to the north gate, he found that the people guarding the city had long been replaced by Gu Rubing's men. As for Shi A's men, they were probably already dead.

"Change the city gate."

Wang Yue shouted, turned around and ran.

Shi A and Wang Yue's reaction speed was indeed very fast, which made things difficult for the soldiers following behind them.

Arrows kept falling and screams kept echoing in the city.

"Wang Yue, don't run away. We have been waiting for you for a long time."

As the voice fell, Zhang He also rushed out from the side with his troops.

And Wei Yan was chasing them from behind.

Wang Yue knew that it was no longer possible to run away. The only way now was to fight hard, perhaps there was still a chance to escape.

Just when Wang Yue was about to give the order for a counterattack.

Gu Rubing unexpectedly appeared in front of Wang Yue.

"King Lie, what a good trick!"

"Wang Yue, you can't think of such a vicious plan with your brain. Tell me, who gave you the idea?"

"Humph, Liu Bei, even if I die, I will never let you off easy."

After saying that, Wang Yue directly swallowed a pill.

Shi A also followed Wang Yue's example and swallowed the pill.

It didn't take long before their eyes turned red and their aura kept rising.

Feeling the momentum of the two men, Zhang He and Wei Yan subconsciously protected Gu Rubing behind them.

"My Lord, please go first. Something is wrong with these two people."

"They ate the food of the Gu tribe."

Zhao Yun was very familiar with this scene. He immediately came to Gu Rubing's side, holding the silver spear tightly in his hand.

Wang Yue and Shi A, let alone eating the Gu tribe's elixir, even if they ate the entire Gu tribe, they would not be able to be Zhao Yun's opponent. (End of this chapter)
