Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator.

Once Yu Jin confirmed the suspected direction of the tunnel entrance, finding the tunnel exit became much simpler.

Immediately, Yu Jin arranged for over a dozen trusted confidants to spread out across the city, near the small hill, listening day and night for any underground movements, preparing to counter the tunnel at any moment.

Ultimately, the key to breaking a city with tunnels lies in secrecy, infiltrating small units of soldiers through the tunnel, and then launching a surprise attack on the city gate from within.

As long as there is vigilance, there are plenty of ways to counter it.

Just as Yu Jin made various arrangements and felt a slight sense of peace in his heart, he suddenly felt a gust of wind, which was quite piercing.

Yu Jin looked up at the sky, a slight joy on his face, and said.

"Could it be that this year's winter is coming earlier than in the past? If so, it is truly heaven's blessing for Great Wei, forcing the Han army to retreat."

In the past ten days or so, perhaps the lower-level soldiers were unaware, but generals like Yu Jin had already learned that Dong Chaojin had been burned and that there had been a Han army raid on Linzi City.

The situation in Qingzhou was already quite severe, and the arrival of this harsh winter would undoubtedly greatly alleviate the pressure facing Qingzhou.

......

And Yu Jin was not the only one who noticed the climate change.

At the junction of Yan and Yu provinces, along the Changshe to Changping line, Lu Bu personally led 50,000 wolf cavalry and 100,000 infantry from Sili and Yan province, a total of 150,000 infantry and cavalry, to attack Yu province.

The two sides engaged in more than ten fierce battles of varying sizes at the border, with casualties on both sides exceeding 30,000.

The subtle changes in the climate made Chen Gong, the accompanying military advisor, realize that winter was approaching.

If they wanted to enter Yu province, there was not much time left.

After Chen Gong reminded Lu Bu of this, Lu Bu immediately launched a full-scale attack to the south, preparing to take advantage of this great opportunity to bite off a piece of flesh from Yu province.

At the very least, Yingchuan Commandery was a target that Lu Bu was determined to obtain.

If Yingchuan Commandery was brought under control, it could add another layer of protection to Sili, completely blocking Liu Bei's route to advance directly into Sili from Yu province.

Moreover, Yan province could also be connected to the northern part of Nanyang Commandery, which it occupied, through Yingchuan Commandery, which was of great strategic significance to Lu Bu.

As another great battle broke out in Changping, Lu Bu, who had proclaimed himself King of Zhao, still charged ahead as in the past, leading the Bing province wolf cavalry to break through the enemy lines and kill enemy generals, preparing to take advantage of Zhao Yun's absence to find an opportunity to kill Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, in order to eliminate a major enemy.

But what Lu Bu never expected was that Jia Xu, who had discerned Lu Bu's intentions, had made arrangements early on, using Guan Yu as bait to lure Lu Bu into the formation.

Lu Bu originally thought that at most, only Zhang Fei could barely catch his eye, and the rest were just mediocre people who could be easily crushed. Seeing that the central army where Guan Yu was located had a flaw, he led a small elite force to attack Guan Yu without hesitation.

However, in addition to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, there were also Huang Zhong and Shamoke, who had deliberately not taken action, waiting for Lu Bu in the central army.

Under the combined siege of the four, Lu Bu was knocked off his Red Hare horse in less than ten rounds, and was in a precarious situation. Lu Bu was so angry that while desperately resisting, he angrily cursed, "Shameless red-faced thief" and "Despicable ring-eyed thief."

Guan Yu did not speak, but his face turned even redder as he slashed down with his blade.

Huang Zhong would naturally not be affected by a few words, and directly attacked Lu Bu's vitals.

Shamoke didn't even speak fluent Han Chinese, so he was even less likely to reply.

Only Zhang Fei was so excited that his beard and hair seemed to stand on end. In addition to adding three points of strength to his Zhangba Snake Spear, his big mouth kept babbling.

"Does a slave of three surnames deserve to talk about morality with me?"

"You dog thief with many fathers and no ruler, should be chopped into mincemeat by the people of the world..."

"Speak, you slave of three surnames, didn't you call yourself King of Zhao? What kind of king are you now?"

"Don't roll around like a beast, have the ability to stand up and talk..."

This series of mental attacks, combined with the siege of the four, made Lu Bu almost go mad and want to exchange his life with Zhang Fei.

When Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu, who realized that something was wrong at the first moment, jointly led the Bing province wolf cavalry to break through the Han army's obstruction to rescue Lu Bu, who had been trapped in the enemy's formation for thirty rounds.

Lu Bu was already seriously injured, covered in blood, and even his beloved Red Hare horse was lost.

But even so, Lu Bu, whose face was pale due to blood loss, was still full of anger as he was quickly escorted away by Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu, and cursed loudly, "Ring-eyed thief, I swear to kill you!"

In this battle, Lu Bu was defeated due to serious injuries. The Han army took advantage of the situation to pursue and kill for several miles, severely damaging the Lu army. Even Lu Bu's Red Hare horse was captured by the Han army.

After the war, as the Red Hare horse was pulled into the military tent, a group of generals surrounded the Red Hare horse and watched it for a while, occasionally reaching out to touch here and pat there.

In terms of reputation, the Red Hare horse can be said to be among the top famous horses in the world.

"This is the Red Hare, known as the 'Red Hare among horses'? It really is a good horse!"

"It's a pity that Lu Bu was knocked off his horse, but he was still able to desperately support himself for nearly twenty rounds by dodging and rolling, and we couldn't take his dog's life."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Lu Bu's adoptive fathers have died one after another, and this time even his horse is lost. Let me use my tongue to fight him in the future, and I will definitely make him so angry that smoke will come out of his seven, no, eight orifices."

"Second brother, what should we do with this Red Hare horse? It just so happens that Second Brother has always lacked a suitable mount. Why not use this Red Hare horse as a mount? When that slave of three surnames sees it, it will definitely make him so angry that he will be a mess."

Guan Yu heard this, greatly moved, but then shook his head slightly and said. "No, this Red Hare horse was obtained by the four of us working together to defeat Lu Bu, how can Guan某独占 it?"

Zhang Fei said carelessly.

"I already have the Taxue Wuzhui horse, so I don't need this Red Hare horse, and Second Brother is the commander-in-chief of the army, how can he not have a thousand-mile horse as a mount?"

Huang Zhong heard this and also said. "This old man already has a mount that is in tune with my heart, and I have no intention of changing mounts."

After saying that, Huang Zhong secretly nudged Shamoke with his elbow.

Shamoke, realizing what was happening, quickly replied in not very standard and fluent Han Chinese. "I can't ride a horse, I'm only good at foot combat, so I don't need this Red Hare horse even more."

Guan Yu's expression changed greatly, but he still hesitated a bit.

"This..."

Zhang Fei repeatedly persuaded. "Second brother, don't be so hesitant, the so-called treasure horse is given to a hero, that slave of three surnames is not virtuous enough, this Red Hare horse should be ridden by Second Brother."

"General Zhang is right, it is appropriate for General Guan to ride this Red Hare horse." Huang Zhong followed and persuaded.

The other generals present also echoed and spoke up.

Guan Yu stroked his long beard under his chin, thought for a moment, and said.

"Since that's the case, then Guan will not be polite."
