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

"Mysterious person? Have you found out who the person is?"

"Lord, we only have some guesses at the moment, and we need the brothers outside to prove the authenticity of our guesses."

"who is it?"

"It's... Xun You, a counselor under Cao Cao."

"Xun You?"

Gu Rubing's eyes widened.

The military talent displayed by the other party can prove that he is definitely not an ordinary person, and there are indeed not many people who can come up with such a strategy at present.

If it really is Xun You, then perhaps this is really possible, at least Xun You has such ability.

Now we need to find the roving crossbow commander of Yizhou to check whether Xun You is still in Yizhou.

If the other party was really Xun You, Gu Rubing realized that he might not be his opponent.

After all, he is one of the top strategists.

Immediately, Gu Rubing gave up the idea of ​​continuing the attack and instead ordered Lu Su from Xu Du to come to support. As for the matter of food and fodder, that had to be left to others.

Lu Su did not expect that he would receive a transfer order from Gu Rubing just after he returned.

He could only leave the task of providing food and fodder to Liu Ye and hurried to the military capital.

In Juyang County.

Wang Yue and Shi A slowly entered the city.

The two men came in front of the man in black robe.

"Xun You, didn't you say that once your plan was broken, your identity would be exposed? Now that your plan has been exposed, your identity must have been exposed as well. Why are you still wearing this black robe?"

After hearing this, Xun You finally reacted and took off the black robe completely.

"I didn't expect that Liu Bei could actually see through my disguise. I really underestimated Liu Bei."

"Haha, let's not talk about that for now. The Lord has said that we should all obey your orders. Tell me, what should we do next?"

"It's simple. Defend the city."

Xun You looked at the soldiers brought behind the two men.

"How many reinforcements did you bring?"

Hearing this, Wang Yue smiled awkwardly.

"Well, because of my previous mistakes, the lord couldn't provide many troops. We scraped together some and brought in 10,000 reinforcements."

"Ten thousand people?"

Xun You calculated and found that he only had 20,000 men. In this situation, it would be difficult to fight, and the only option was to defend the city.

Juyang County must not be lost. If Juyang County is lost, it means that Shanggu County will be lost.

Xun You looked at the two people in front of him.

In terms of the combat effectiveness of the famous generals, although Wang Yue and Shi A are slightly inferior to Wei Yan and Zhang He, the difference is not too big. However, Zhao Yun is the only one who is very troublesome.

A legendary general is enough to change the entire battlefield situation. Even if Zhao Yun shows his power, they won’t even be able to defend the city.

"what happened?"

Wang Yue felt a little nervous when Xun You looked at him, and asked impatiently.

Xun You immediately shook his head.

"fine."

After saying that, Xun You turned around and walked into the room.

For the entire day, Xun You did not leave his room, but stayed in the room, thinking about his own countermeasures.

Wang Yue and Shi A stood outside the room.

"Master, this person has been inside for a whole day and night and hasn't come out. Could he be dead in there? How about we go and take a look?"

"Don't talk about chaos. This is Cao Cao's strategist. If he really dies here, will Cao Cao let us go? Besides, this is not a big deal. Is it worth dying for?"

Although Wang Yue said that he didn't care, he was a little worried in his heart. After all, even they would not be able to hold out for a day and a night without food or water, let alone a mere strategist.

After thinking for a while, Wang Yue walked to the door of the room.

Knocked on the door.

"Sir, isn't it time for you to come out? You've been in there for a whole day and night. Do you want to come out and have something to eat?"

"No need, don't bother me, give me some quiet environment."

Xun You's somewhat impatient voice came from inside the room.

When Wang Yue heard this and Xun You's attitude, he suddenly became impatient.

"Hey, how can you be so ignorant of what is good for you? I called you out of kindness, but you actually spoke to me like this. Don't think that I won't touch you just because you are Cao Cao's man. Cao Cao is not here now, so aren't you still meat on my chopping board?"

As soon as Wang Yue finished speaking, he saw the door suddenly opened.

Wang Yue was shocked by Xun You's reaction and almost drew his sword.

"What did you say?"

"what?"

"You just said, don't think that you dare not touch me because the master is not here. Now that the master is not here, I am the meat on your chopping board? You said this, didn't you?"

Wang Yue thought that Xun You was angry at this time. When he thought that he would need Xun You to arrange the troops in the future, he knew that he was definitely no match for Gu Rubing and could only rely on Xun You. It was not good to say this too harshly.

"Well, I'm just worried about your health, so I said this to force you to come out."

"No, no, no, you said a lot. What I am worried about is Zhao Yun. Yes, we can lure Zhao Yun away."

Wang Yue looked at Xun You in front of him with confusion.

"Come in with me, I have something to ask you."

Gu Rubing stood outside the military camp, looking at Juyang County not far away, which was their target this time.

As long as they take over Juyang County, the entire Shanggu County will belong to them.

But there is a bit of trouble in Juyang County. According to the information sent by the captain of the Younu Army, there are now 20,000 defenders in the city, and there are also Wang Yue, Shi A, and Xun You.

With these three people around, it would be almost impossible to quickly take over Juyang County.

Lu Su walked up to Gu Rubing.

"My Lord, are you considering how to attack Juyang County?"

Gu Rubing nodded.

"My lord, don't worry. None of us dare to take the initiative to attack. Our army's food and grass have not been delivered yet, so we naturally cannot attack casually. Xun You and his men are not many in number, so they naturally cannot attack us. The other side is blindly defending the city, so we can only wait and see."

Hearing this, Gu Rubing sighed.

Even Lu Su said so, what else can I say?

However, just as they were talking, a letter was delivered to Gu Rubing.

Gu Rubing saw that the letter was actually from Xun You. Moreover, Xun You did not hide himself and directly put his name out.

Looking at the contents of the letter, Gu Rubing burst out laughing.

Lu Su walked forward with some curiosity, and found out that it was Xun You who wanted to meet Gu Rubing.

"My lord, Xun You was previously with Cao Cao, responsible for intelligence work, which resulted in many of our spies dying at Xun You's hands. This man is extremely treacherous. You cannot meet him. He is very dangerous."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rubing looked at the letter in his hand.

The content of the letter was very simple. Xun You told Gu Rubing that he could betray Shi Xie, but he had to exchange something with him. However, Xun You did not say what that thing was.

This made Gu Rubing a little curious about what Xun You wanted to do.

What made Gu Rubing even more curious was, didn't Xun You come to help Shi Xie just to fight against him? Why did he betray Shi Xie? Did Xun You and Shi Xie have a falling out?
Gu Rubing didn't want to give up such a good opportunity. He knew that Xun You must have other thoughts about him this time, and he also had other thoughts.

"No, I want to meet him. I want to see what this guy is going to do. As for my safety, Zijing, you don't have to worry. I have Zilong, so there is no need to worry. Besides, even Cao Cao can't kill me, let alone a counselor."

Seeing Gu Rubing so confident, and seeing Zhao Yun's strength was visible to everyone, Lu Su didn't know what to say. After all, if he said too much, it would seem like he didn't believe in Zhao Yun.

"Protect the lord well."

"Don't worry, sir. I will protect you with my life."

The place where Xun You met Gu Rubing was on the top of a mountain not far from Juyang County.

When Gu Rubing brought Zhao Yun here, Xun You and Wang Yue were already standing on the top of the mountain.

"Meet His Royal Highness King Lie."

Looking at Xun You who saluted him, Gu Rubing smiled and did not let him stand up. Instead, he sat down on a bench beside him.

Xun You didn't bother to care about Gu Rubing when he saw this. He stood up and sat in front of Gu Rubing.

"Get out of here. Who are you to dare to be on equal terms with me?"

"Haha, King Lie may have forgotten that my lord is the King of Wei, not you, King Lie. As long as they are not my lord, I have the right to be on an equal footing with anyone. Is there a problem with that?"

Hearing this, Gu Rubing sneered.

"Is it?"

After saying this, Gu Rubing simply waved his hand.

Zhao Yun immediately understood what Gu Rubing meant. The silver spear in his hand suddenly appeared and he thrust it directly at Xun You.

Xun You was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

Wang Yue, who was standing by, wanted to stop him, but found it was too late.

At this moment, the tip of Zhao Yun's spear stopped, just an inch in front of Xun You's throat.

"Haha, that's enough, Zilong, you don't have to tease him anymore."

After hearing Gu Rubing's words, Zhao Yun sneered and returned to Gu Rubing's side.

Although he said he was teasing him, Xun You could clearly feel the murderous aura coming from Zhao Yun.

This kind of murderous aura is not something that can be achieved by just teasing someone.

After Xun You breathed a sigh of relief, he calmed himself down and then sat opposite Gu Rubing again.

"I know King Lie won't kill me just like that, because King Lie is still interested in the letter I wrote to you."

"I guess so. This is the value of your life. You said in your letter that you can exchange it. I wonder what you plan to exchange with me?"

"Haha, it seems that King Lie can't wait any longer. In that case, I will tell you directly that what I want is very simple, that is your life."

After saying that, Xun You quickly retreated.

At this time, Wang Yue also appeared in front of Gu Rubing, his eyes had turned red.

Zhao Yun reacted extremely quickly and stabbed Wang Yue directly with his silver spear.

Wang Yue watched the silver spear getting closer and closer to him, and Zhao Yun's speed was so fast that he could not dodge it at all. When the spear stabbed him, Wang Yue could guess what his end would be.

Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well take Liu Bei with me to be buried with me.

As Wang Yue moved forward, the speed of the sword in his hand increased and he swung it towards Gu Rubing.

Zhao Yun did not expect that Wang Yue was so obsessed with Gu Rubing that he was even willing to exchange his life for his.

In the end, Zhao Yun had no choice but to retract his silver spear and help Gu Rubing block the sword.

Wang Yue stepped back immediately, cold sweat already breaking out on his body.

With that shot just now, he clearly felt that death was very close to him.

If I hadn't just chosen to exchange my life for another's, I would really be meeting the god of death now.

Zhao Yun looked at Wang Yue in front of him.

As for Wang Yue's repeated sneak attacks on Gu Rubing, Zhao Yun has already included Wang Yue in his kill list, even ranked first, and now is the best opportunity to kill Wang Yue.

"Wang Yue, prepare to die."

Zhao Yun shouted and rushed towards Wang Yue.

However, just when the silver spear was about to reach Wang Yue, the Gu Mother suddenly appeared and blocked the spear for Wang Yue.

Zhao Yun immediately looked at Miao Moqing not far away.

"I didn't expect you to dare to come. Do you really think I won't kill you?"

Coincidentally, the second person on Zhao Yun’s kill list also appeared this time.

"Haha, General Zilong is really domineering. He was very harsh on me last time. After I went back, I took half a month to recover from my injuries. This time, General Zilong, please don't be so harsh on me. After all, I was just listening to others and doing things."

"Humph, anyone who dares to attack my lord will not survive."

Although Zhao Yun said this, he did not take any action.

Zhao Yun knew that Gu Rubing could not stop Wang Yue at all. Not to mention stopping him, even if he wanted to run in front of Wang Yue, Gu Rubing might not be able to do it. Once he was entangled by Miao Moqing, who could protect him?

"Clap clap clap."

"What a great show."

Xun You walked up slowly.

"King Lie, you don't know, what do you think of my trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain? If you hadn't come out, I might really have no way to deal with you. But now that you have come out, you are already meat on my chopping board, and you can only let me slaughter you."

Gu Rubing did not expect that Xun You was so insidious that he would actually attack him. You know, even Cao Cao was very afraid of him and did not dare to attack him at all.

"It's Cao Cao's fate to have a subordinate like you, but do you really think you can kill me just like that?"

After Gu Rubing finished speaking, he laughed.

Xun You's face suddenly changed when he saw this. It was obvious from Gu Rubing's expression that he still had a trump card that he had not used. If Gu Rubing still had a trump card, it would mean that his plan would have completely failed.

Gu Rubing will definitely take revenge on them when he returns.

Although Juyang County could still be defended, it was entirely because Gu Rubing's conditions for attacking them were not met. Xun You guessed at the time that it was a problem of food and grass, so he dared to let go a little and carry out his bold plan.

But insufficient conditions do not mean that Gu Rubing is not their opponent. (End of this chapter)
