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

"Old Wang, what are you doing? Don't forget what the master said, only take what we can take away, and don't touch the others. Don't be greedy, otherwise you will ruin the master's plan."

When Lao Wang saw that the one who hit him was another captain, he quickly nodded.
When Gu Rubing learned that an important grain and fodder storage area had been attacked, he immediately ordered Wei Yan to rush over to provide support.

But by the time Wei Yan arrived, those people had already left.

After counting the food and grass, Wei Yan discovered that the lost food and grass was only enough for 20,000 people to use for four days, and judging from the traces, they should not have been gone for long.

Wei Yan wanted to chase them, but when he thought that the other party only took away such a small amount of food and supplies, their speed must be very fast, he immediately returned to the barracks and told Gu Rubing about his discovery.

At this time, Gu Rubing was even more convinced that there were about 20,000 people in the city, and he sent Zhang He with only 20,000 cavalry to chase after them.

Zhang He was very fast. When the ten thousand people arrived at the city, Zhang He had also reached the outskirts of Jundu City.

Looking at the tens of thousands of people slowly entering the city with food and fodder, Zhang He felt a little itchy.

But when he saw the figures standing on the city wall, and each of them seemed to be drawing their bows and arrows, Zhang He finally gave up.

The cavalry he had were all light, and they could not withstand such a rain of arrows. Moreover, cavalry were not suitable for sieges and would suffer heavy damage.

After considering all the pros and cons, Zhang He finally chose to give up.

After seeing Zhang He coming back empty-handed, Gu Rubing sighed helplessly.

Ever since he arrived in Jundu City, he has been suppressed everywhere, making Gu Rubing feel like he can't breathe.

This made Gu Rubing certain that Shi Xie must have someone who was proficient in military tactics and was helping him. As for who the other person was, the captain of the Younu Army had not yet investigated the other person's identity.

The amount of food and grass lost was not that much, and Gu Rubing had no intention of changing the location of the food and grass. He just strengthened the defense around the food and grass.

A few days down.

Every siege ended in failure. The dense rain of arrows made Wei Yan and his men suffer terribly.

And from time to time, the other party would secretly come and take away some food and supplies.

Although the number is small, it is extremely annoying.

In the end, it even forced the famous general Wei Yan to personally lead thousands of people to guard the food and grass.

However, the other party seemed to know that Wei Yan had been guarding the food and grass, and had not come out to steal the food and grass for three consecutive days.

This made Gu Rubing feel like he was punching cotton.

Just when Gu Rubing was in trouble, a person who was unexpected by Gu Rubing came to the front line.

"Zijing, you're not in Xudu, why are you here at the front line?"

This person is Lu Su.

Gu Rubing was very surprised at Lu Su's appearance.

"Of course I came to see why the lord, such a big eater, could eat so much food and grass."

Lu Su didn't want to come at first.

After all, with Gu Rubing's ability, it was only a matter of time for him to deal with a small Shi Xie.

But Lu Su did not expect that after more than a month, Gu Rubing had only taken over Dai County, and had not even taken over Shanggu County.

Moreover, the consumption of food and fodder is simply terrifyingly high.

Originally, the food and fodder transported each time should be enough for Gu Rubing to use for half a month. After all, this was calculated by him.

But recently Gu Rubing has been urging for food and fodder, as if the soldiers on the front line would starve to death if his food and fodder were not delivered.

This made Lu Su a little curious. Could it be that there was something wrong with his plan?

Lu Su was busy for three days and recalculated the food and grass for all the army twice. The results were the same, which meant that there was no problem with his calculations.

Looking at the messenger who came to urge him, Lu Su finally couldn't bear it anymore.

The three previous battlefields had already stretched the already limited food and grass to a limit. Now Gu Rubing was like a bottomless pit, constantly urging for food and grass, which made Lu Su a little embarrassed.

In the end, I had to go to the front line in person to see who was such a big eater.

One person ate almost enough for two people.

After hearing the purpose of Lu Su's coming here, Gu Rubing could only smile helplessly.

Then he told Lu Su about his situation.

After hearing this, Lu Su was a little curious why no one had sent this information to him.

Gu Rubing felt that since only a small amount of food was dropped each time, there was no need to inform Lu Su, so he did not let the captain of the mobile crossbow army pass on the information.

Lu Su walked directly to the city wall of Shanggu County.

Gu Rubing was worried that Lu Su was in danger, so he quickly took Zhao Yun and followed Lu Su.

Lu Su looked for a long time, but because it was too far away, he could only see the rough shape of a human and nothing else.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Su looked at Gu Rubing.

"My Lord, please let Wenchang lead his men to charge once. I want to see what is on the city wall."

"What is it?"

Gu Rubing looked at Lu Su with some curiosity, but did not say anything. He immediately asked Wei Yan to lead his men to charge again.

Arrows rained down from the sky, and Wei Yan was suppressed and could not move.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a stick of incense, and Wei Yan had no choice but to retreat.

"What do you see, sir?"

Wei Yan walked up to Lu Su and looked at him helplessly.

Lu Su looked behind Wei Yan and the soldiers who were following Wei Yan and charging forward.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Su took two bows and arrows from the side.

And put it on the ground.

Lu Su looked around, found a soldier who looked thinner, and pointed at him.

"come here."

The soldiers didn't know what Lu Su meant and ran over immediately.

"Sir, you called me?"

"I now ask you to shoot the arrows with these two bows as fast as possible. I don't need your accuracy, I just need your speed. Also, do your best to shoot farther, but speed is the main thing."

Some of the soldiers did not understand what Lu Su meant and could only do as he said.

Soon after the soldier shot an arrow, he immediately picked up the second bow and arrow from the ground and shot again.

As a result, the distance between the two arrows was not very far.

Lu Su then had someone bring a table and placed both bows and arrows on the table.

"Just follow what I asked you to do, and do it again."

"Yes!"

With the experience of the first time, the soldier moved faster.

And because of the height of the table, the soldiers saved the time of bending down to pick up the bow and arrow on the ground. In the end, after the two arrows were shot out, the distance between them was shortened a lot. However, the accuracy was quite poor, one on the left and the other on the right.

The distance was also relatively close, almost half the distance of a single shot. In addition, the power was pitifully small, and neither of the two arrows stuck in the ground, and almost all of them fell to the ground.

After Lu Su finished doing all this, he looked at Gu Rubing standing aside.

"My lord, this is their plan to conceal their true intentions. In other words, you have fallen into their trap."

"Fell into a trap?"

"That's right, my lord. As long as they place something on the city wall that's waist-high, put all the bows and arrows on the table, and find a civilian to be responsible for placing the bows and arrows, they can achieve the effect of 10,000 people shooting arrows to reach the level of 20,000 people."

After seeing this scene and hearing Lu Su's explanation, Wei Yan kept shaking his head.

"No, no, Zijing, although you are fast, my men also suffered casualties, just minor ones. But the two arrows you just shot, let alone hurting people, were so weak that they probably couldn't even break armor, right?"

Wei Yan did not believe Lu Su's plan to conceal the truth.

After all, Wei Yan truly felt with his own eyes how terrifying the dense rain of arrows was, forcing them to hold up their shields and unable to move. In addition, the lost food and grass also proved that the other side had 20,000 people.

The appearance of Lu Su completely changed all their speculations, which made Wei Yan feel that his intuition was insulted.

Hearing this, Lu Su laughed out loud.

"Wen Chang, this is entirely because the enemy is defending the city. The arrows are fired from above, causing terrible damage. The reason is the same as that of rolling stones and logs. The higher the place, the greater the damage."

Hearing this, Wei Yan still couldn't believe it.

However, Gu Rubing on the side understood something.

There is a high possibility that they were fooled by the other party.

After Lu Su finished speaking, he looked towards the city wall in the distance.

"My lord, there is no strategist of this ability in Shi Xie's camp. You still have to find a way to investigate the other party's identity."

Gu Rubing nodded upon hearing this.

If what Lu Su said was true, and the other side really only had 10,000 people, then the food and fodder lost during this period would be enough for those 10,000 people to use for a month.

It seems I've been waiting here in vain.

No wonder, no matter how long Wei Yan waited, he couldn't see the enemy leaving the city to gather food and grass.

This is simply because people have already snatched enough.

After figuring this out, Gu Rubing immediately ordered Wei Yan and Zhang He to launch a general attack together.

No matter whether the other side has 10,000 or 20,000 people, Gu Rubing has decided that this time he must eliminate the other side at all costs.

The two men led 40,000 people and launched a fierce attack.

The overwhelming rain of arrows appeared again, but because of Lu Su, Wei Yan and his men were no longer afraid of the rain of arrows. They rushed directly to the foot of the city under the rain of arrows and began to climb the city wall.

Gu Rubing stood in the distance, watching the flashing figures on the city wall.

"Zijing, you said there were only 10,000 people in the city, so what's going on with these figures? There are four city gates, a total of 10,000 people, and there are at most 2,000 to 3,000 people at each city gate. How could there be so many chaotic figures?"

"My lord, have you forgotten what I just said, that one soldier should be paired with one civilian? Do you think it is possible that the figure is a civilian picking up bows and arrows for the soldiers? Picking up bows and arrows is a job that anyone can do, and it is not dangerous. They don't even need to provide food and grass for the civilians."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rubing nodded, feeling that what Lu Su said made sense.

On the wall of Jundu.

Several centurions gathered together.

"You are right, sir. Today is our last day. Fortunately, we have already transported the food and fodder away. Okay, let everyone retreat. We will not fight anymore. We will give them this city. Prepare our last gift."

"Yes!"

Several centurions nodded.

When Wei Yan climbed up the city wall, he saw that only civilians were shooting arrows, while the soldiers had disappeared long ago.

When the people saw Wei Yan walking towards them, they immediately stopped what they were doing.

After all, Wei Yan is really scary now.

The blood on his face, the rage in his eyes after being teased, made him look like a god of death.

These ordinary people had never seen such a person before. Someone screamed and fell to the ground unconscious.

Wei Yan was too lazy to care about these civilians and just ordered people to arrest them.

Zhang He took a group of people, opened the city gate, and began to search the entire city.

As a result, there was no trace of any defenders in the city.

In the end, we could only reach the city gate.

At this time, Gu Rubing also brought Lu Su and slowly entered the city.

When I heard that the defenders in the city had disappeared.

Lu Su looked around curiously, then closed his eyes and did not move.

Not long after, Lu Su suddenly opened his eyes.

"Oh no, it's kerosene, retreat immediately."

Hearing this, Zhang He finally reacted and realized that the air was filled with the smell of kerosene.

"retreat."

As soon as Zhang He's voice fell, countless rockets fell from the sky.

After several waves of rockets, the entire military capital was engulfed in fire.

Many soldiers were directly swallowed by the fire.

Gu Rubing and Lu Su were the last to enter the city. When Lu Su discovered kerosene, they were standing at the city gate and naturally evacuated quickly. However, the soldiers in the city were in trouble.

After the fire, Gu Rubing made a statistics and found that they did not suffer any losses during the siege, but nearly five thousand people died in the fire.

Gu Rubing punched the wall nearby.

"My lord, the other side's counselor must be eliminated."

Gu Rubing also nodded.

The fire in the military capital lasted for two full days.

After everything in the military capital was burned down, the fire slowly went out.

Looking at the military capital city filled with ruins, Gu Rubing sighed helplessly.

Lu Su stayed here and accompanied Gu Rubing to thoroughly tidy up the city. Then he said goodbye to Gu Rubing and returned to Xu Du. After all, there was still the matter of food and fodder that he needed to prepare.

After Lu Su left, several roaming crossbow captains came up to him.

"Please forgive me, my lord. The blockade of intelligence in the military capital is too severe. Although we have some news, we have no way to confirm the authenticity of the news, let alone pass the information on. These people seem to pay special attention to the transmission of intelligence."

Hearing this, Gu Rubing looked at the three people in front of him curiously.

"You two should get up first and tell me what's going on."

Three people stood up and one of them walked out.

"My lord, we know there are only 10,000 people in the city, and we also know you have been deceived, but we really have no way to tell you the news. In addition, we found that there was a mysterious person in the city at that time, and the captains of the military capital listened to him." (End of this chapter)
