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

When Lu Xun saw that the team that had already rushed into the city just stopped, he was immediately furious.

He kept whipping the surrounding Wu soldiers with the whip in his hand. Finally, the Wu soldiers made way for Lu Xun to walk to the front.

When Lu Xun saw that everyone was stopped by Tiefutu and Zhang Liao, he suddenly regretted why he had to come forward.

At this time, Lu Xun was thinking about retreating.

But with so many people watching him, he couldn't just leave like that. In the end, Lu Xun suppressed the fear in his heart and looked at Zhang Liao.

"Zhang Liao, what are you doing here? If you leave Duanxi City, I will spare your life."

"Please spare my life?"

Zhang Liao looked at Lu Xun with amusement.

"Yes... yes, get out of the way quickly, we can pretend you have never been here."

"I'm so sorry, we at Iron Pagoda never accept threats from anyone."

Threat? Who threatened you? Can't you tell that I'm compromising? Is there something wrong with my expression?

Lu Xun now wanted to slap himself twice. He was a general after all. He was too weak in front of Zhang Liao.

"Zhang Liao, you forced me to do this. I still have several thousand men, and you only have about 200 people behind you. I don't believe you can still run away."

After Lu Xun finished speaking, he waved his hand.

"Kill him."

However, after Lu Xun's voice fell, the people around looked at each other, and there was still no soldier who was willing to take the lead in charging out.

Lu Xun's old face turned red. He knew that it was because he was too weak in front of Zhang Liao that his soldiers lost the courage to fight.

At this time, someone often needs to force them.

Lu Xun swung his sword and killed the two centurions beside him, then shouted: "Kill them. Anyone who doesn't come forward will be killed without mercy! Anyone who kills the Iron Buddha will be rewarded 100 gold coins, and anyone who kills Zhang Liao will be rewarded 100,000 gold coins."

There will always be brave men when there is a big reward.

Soon, many soldiers rushed towards Zhang Liao.

With these people leading the way, the others finally felt more confident.

Zhang Liao had never expected that his head and Iron Buddha's head were so valuable.

However, Zhang Liao did not expect that Lu Xun's words would have such a great mobilizing power. The Wu army, which had originally dared not to come forward, all rushed forward at this moment.

After Zhang Liao led the Iron Pagoda to charge, he turned around and ran away.

Relying on the speed advantage of his Iron Pagoda cavalry, he kept fighting with the Wu army.

Two hours later, the Wu army could no longer run. Cavalry has a natural advantage over infantry.

Zhang Liao's purpose was just to delay time.

Lu Xun also realized Zhang Liao's purpose, so he simply allocated half of his troops and went to the dock to put out the fire first.

Zhang Liao noticed that there were fewer people chasing them, and he immediately guessed where these people were going. In desperation, Zhang Liao could only lead Tiefutu to the dock.

Arriving at the dock, Zhang Liao saw that many Wu soldiers were trying to put out the fire, but the fire had been burning for nearly three hours and there was no way to put it out in a short time.

"kill!"

Following Zhang Liao's order, the remaining Iron Pagodas rushed directly into the group of Wu soldiers who were putting out the fire.

Since these Wu troops had no one to lead them, they were quickly beaten back.

There was no fighting to the death, and the Iron Pagoda suffered heavy casualties. Just by fighting off these few thousand people, they lost nearly a hundred people.

At this time, Lu Xun finally arrived with the remaining Wu troops.

The location of the dock is extremely spacious, so the Wu army's military formation can be fully released, and the cavalry that were blocked by the infantry because of the narrow alley finally stood out.

Tiefutu was not afraid at all when facing this scene.

They have always known that the battles they fought with Zhang Liao would always be the most dangerous, but as long as they could return alive, the reward would always be the highest, so when they followed Zhang Liao, they were also prepared to die.

Zhang Liao took one last look at the fire at the dock. After confirming that his mission had been accomplished, he swung the Yellow Dragon Scythe Hook Knife in his hand and shouted, "Kill!"

Then all the Iron Pagodas shouted and rushed towards the Wu army formation.

Lu Xun immediately ordered to stop them.

The Wu army had too many people, and the Iron Buddha's charge was stopped by the thick crowd after only a few steps.

As Zhang Liao fought left and right, fewer and fewer Iron Pagodas were able to follow him. By the time Zhang Liao broke out, there were only less than twenty people following him.

Zhang Liao wiped the blood off his face and looked at the Duanxi City and the flames rising into the sky in front of him. For this mission, the Iron Buddha army was almost wiped out. He could only hope that the Iron Buddha soldiers would not die in vain and that the battle would end quickly.

"Let's go back!"

Zhang Liao took the remaining Iron Pagodas and rushed to Guangxin City.

When Sun Jian received the message from Lu Xun and learned that the dock had been burned down, he was stunned where he was.

The dock of Duanxi City was the most crucial layout for him to turn defeat into victory. Now that Duanxi City is gone, what is he still insisting on here?

"My lord, let's retreat!"

Zhou Yu thought about it for a long time and finally could only give this result.

Sun Jian said nothing when he heard this. He had already crumpled Lu Xun's letter into a ball. If Lu Xun were in front of them now, he would have wanted to kill him.

After a long time, Sun Jian looked at Zhou Yu.

"If we retreat, Jiaozhou has already lost Nanhai County. If we lose Cangwu County as well, we will be completely defenseless. The entire Jiaozhou will basically belong to Liu Bei."

"My Lord, I know all this, but we can't hold on any longer. Otherwise, if we can't break out, we won't be able to leave. If we die, wouldn't all our efforts so far be in vain?"

Hearing this, Sun Jian hesitated for a moment.

Huang Gai and others saw Zhou Yu nodding at them, so they all stepped forward to persuade Sun Jian.

Seeing that his generals were all persuading him, Sun Jian no longer insisted and began to organize a breakout.

But in the current situation, Gu Rubing has surrounded the entire Guangxin City to prevent Sun Jian from breaking through.

After observing the situation around him, Sun Jian suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Since Zhou Yu persuaded Sun Jian to break out, he naturally had an idea in mind.

"My lord, we just need to inform Liu Bei that we want to break out, and then send a general to pretend to break out, imitating you, to lure Liu Bei to defend heavily, and we will leave from the other side. By the time Liu Bei reacts, it will be too late."

Sun Jian nodded immediately after hearing this.

Gu Rubing also received news that Zhang Liao had completed his mission and was on his way back. While standing outside the camp preparing to welcome Zhang Liao, he kept thinking in his mind how he should get rid of Cao Cao or Liu Zhang with the least loss after destroying Sun Jian.

Without Duanxi City, outsiders would not be able to support Sun Jian. With the few troops Sun Jian had, he would be exhausted to death sooner or later.

However, just as Gu Rubing was enjoying his future, he saw Zhang Liao walking towards him from a distance with a lot of blood on his body.

"Wenyuan!"

Gu Rubing immediately walked up to Zhang Liao. Just as he was wondering why Zhang Liao was alone there, he saw Zhang Liao actually fell off his horse and fainted.

Zhang Liao’s current condition is very different from the news that has been reported.

According to the information Gu Rubing received, although Zhang Liao’s victory could not be said to be a great one, his defeat could be described as tragic, with only about twenty Iron Pagodas following him.

But now, let alone more than twenty Iron Pagodas, even Zhang Liao himself was seriously injured.

"Quickly call Hua Tuo over."

Gu Rubing brought the unconscious Zhang Liao into a tent.

Hua Tuo came over and checked Zhang Liao, then heaved a sigh of relief.

"No problem, General Zhang Liao is just a little tired because he has been in a tense state for a long time. He does have some wounds on his body, but they are all superficial and not fatal. Let me prescribe a prescription for General Zhang Liao to take. He will be healed within three days."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

This made Gu Rubing feel relieved. He was frightened when he first saw Zhang Liao's appearance.

"My lord, it seems that General Wenyuan had something happen on his way back after he fought his way out of Duanxi City. Otherwise, it would not have turned out like this."

Zhuge Liang hadn't finished speaking, but Gu Rubing already understood what he meant.

"Come here, ask the captain of the mobile nunnery to investigate for me what happened on Zhang Liao's way back."

"yes!"

At this time, a soldier walked in.

"My Lord, Sun Jian's messenger has arrived."

"A messenger? Now that we have reached the decisive battle, why do you need a messenger? Are you going to surrender?"

Gu Rubing knew that Sun Jian would never surrender, and what he said was nothing more than a mockery.

After handing over the matters here to Hua Tuo, Gu Rubing brought Zhuge Liang to the general's camp.

Gu Rubing only knew that Sun Jian had sent an envoy, but he did not expect that this envoy was actually Zhang Zhao.

"Zhang Zhao, I didn't expect Sun Jian to send you here."

"Greetings, King Lie. I came here this time on the orders of our lord. Please have a meeting with our lord."

"Meet? Now that we have already fought a decisive battle, what's the point of meeting?"

"I don't understand. King Lie, do you know what you mean?"

Gu Rubing originally wanted to refuse, but he also really wanted to know what Sun Jian wanted to do at this time.

"Okay, let's meet outside the city at noon tomorrow."

"yes!"

After Zhang Zhao left, Gu Rubing looked at Zhuge Liang.

"Prime Minister, do you know what Sun Jian is planning to do this time?"

"Ask for peace."

"Ask for peace? Are you sure? How can we possibly agree to this?"

Gu Rubing smiled helplessly. He was not denying what Zhuge Liang said, he was just mocking Sun Jian's decision.

Not long after, Hua Tuo sent someone to tell him that Zhang Liao had woken up.

Upon hearing the news, Gu Rubing immediately rushed to Zhang Liao's tent.

"Wenyuan, how are you?"

Zhang Liao was still very weak at this time and struggled to stand up, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stand up.

"Just lie down first. It's already like this. Don't worry about the rules."

Hearing this, Zhang Liao nodded tiredly.

"Wenyuan, what happened after you escaped from Duanxi City?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liao recalled what had happened and couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"My lord, after we left Duanxi City, we thought we would be able to get back soon, but we didn't expect that a group of men in black blocked our way. These people are very strong, and we just fought our way out and are exhausted. Only I was able to fight my way out of the encirclement. None of the brothers who followed me came back alive."

"The man in black?"

When Gu Rubing heard this, he felt that this scene was somewhat familiar. Aren't these people under Liu Zhang's command?

When these people entered the Central Plains, they caused considerable trouble to the three great princes, and even Gu Rubing was fooled by them.

But when Gu Rubing found out that these people were Liu Zhang's men, they all retreated back to the Anluo Empire. Now Liu Zhang sent those people out, but no one knew about it. Even after the ambush on Zhang Liao, if Zhang Liao didn't say anything, no one would know that the group of people had come back.

"It seems that the man named Surena is causing trouble again."

Gu Rubing sneered, comforted Zhang Liao, and immediately brought Zhuge Liang to the general's camp.

"My lord, it looks like these are Surena's men again. We must get rid of these guys once and for all, otherwise, a situation like what happened to General Zhang Liao will happen again."

Gu Rubing nodded, but those guys came and went without a trace, so it was not easy to find them, let alone deal with them.

All night long.

Gu Rubing couldn't sleep well.

The next day, Gu Rubing walked out of the room with a tired look.

Zhuge Liang, who was standing outside the room, saw Gu Rubing's look and looked confused.

"My Lord, what are you doing..."

"It's okay, Prime Minister, why are you standing at the door of my room so early in the morning? What's the matter?"

"Two things. First, my lord, I have thought of a way to deal with those men in black."

"oh?"

Gu Rubing looked at Zhuge Liang with some excitement.

The presence of those men in black made Gu Rubing unable to sleep or eat. Now that he has found a solution, he feels relieved.

"My lord, the solution is actually very simple. We just need to let General Zhao Yun find those people and get rid of them. They may be able to evade our search, but it will be a bit difficult to evade the search of a legendary general, isn't it?"

"Let Zhao Yun go?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Rubing became a little hesitant.

Zhao Yun is a legendary general, and he also knows the agreement among their legendary generals. Legendary generals cannot join the battlefield at will. Once he breaks this balance, wouldn’t he be in the wrong?

"My Lord? What's wrong with Liang's plan?" (End of this chapter)
