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

However, whether from the perspective of a famous general or from the perspective of a quasi-famous general, Xu Rong is clearly at a disadvantage.

Three hours later, the Wei army gradually dispersed.

Xu Rong breathed a sigh of relief, but after counting the losses, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

In just three hours, the casualties reached 20,000.

This is just one city wall. I don’t know what the southern city wall defending the Wu army looks like now.

Soon, the losses on the southern city wall were also counted. In one day, the losses on both sides of the city wall reached 30,000.

According to this strategy, these 100,000 people would be thrown in within three days, and in the end even the city could not be defended.

"Retreat!"

Guan Yu once again spoke of retreating.

Their purpose here was to block Cao Cao's support. Now that Sun Jian has arrived here, it means that Sun Jian has already lost. Their purpose can be said to have been achieved, but there has been no transfer order from Gu Rubing yet.

However, since the goal has been achieved, retreat is natural even if there is no transfer order.

Guan Yu knew this, so it is impossible that Xu Rong didn't know it.

The reason why Xu Rong hasn't retreated yet is entirely because he is unwilling to give in.

Hearing Guan Yu say this for the second time, Xu Rong sighed. Such persistence really made no sense.

Just when Xu Rong was about to order a retreat, Gu Rubing's order finally came.

Gu Rubing's order was simple: give up the direction and let Sun Jian reunite with Cao Cao.

Xu Rong had no choice but to follow the order, withdraw from the battlefield and go to the rear to rest.

The next day, Pang De also arrived at the scene with the Taishan Tiger Bandits to strengthen Xu Rong's strength.

The next morning, after Sun Jian discovered that there was no one in the city, he immediately sent people to occupy the city.

The Xiahou brothers also rushed over.

"King Wu, I'm so sorry. We just broke through this line of defense. I wonder how things are going over there?"

Sun Jian was also a local lord. He had long understood what the Xiahou brothers were thinking, but he could not say it out loud at this time. After all, at this moment, the more allies he had, the greater the chance of a turnaround.

"We are basically about to lose. This is our last territory, and Liu Bei has no way to cut off our connection here. So I hope the King of Wei can put his mind at ease. Now we should fight against Liu Bei. If I lose, no one can stop Liu Bei in the future."

"Yes, yes, King Wu, don't worry, we will definitely support you with all our strength this time."

The Xiahou brothers smiled awkwardly.

Xu Rong did not go far away, but watched them quietly not far away.

"Yun Chang, how are you? Are you injured?"

After Pang De finished speaking, he realized that Guan Yu was a legendary general. How could a man of this level be injured?

Guan Yu smiled and shook his head: "I'm fine."

Sun Jian went to the front line, which meant that the entire Jiaozhou belonged to him, Gu Rubing.

If it were anywhere else, everything would be fine, but there was one place that gave Gu Rubing a headache, and that was the territory of the Gu Clan.

He didn't know if there were any other people in the Gu tribe, but what he knew was that no one who got close to the Gu tribe would be able to come out alive.

No matter whether the person who enters is an ordinary soldier or a special soldier, this poisonous insect seems to be able to ignore defense and cause fatal damage to the person in the armor.

Looking at the corpses being carried down, each and every one of them died because their blood and essence were sucked dry, which left Gu Rubing at a loss as to what to do.

In the end, Gu Rubing could only focus his attention on Zhuge Liang.

After all, this is a legendary strategist. If even a legendary strategist can't do anything, then he will give up completely.

But he didn't expect that the method Zhuge Liang told him almost made him breathless.

Zhuge Liang's strategy can be summed up in two words: burning the mountain.

According to Zhuge Liang, since people can't get in, it's better to burn it directly. If there is anything left, it must be a treasure, so just take it away.

Gu Rubing looked at Zhuge Liang and hesitated.

Finally, they decided to follow Zhuge Liang's advice and burn the mountain.

Now is autumn, the season when all things gradually wither, and Gu Rubing directly lit a fire for this autumn.

The fire lasted for three days and three nights, and almost the entire forest was burned down.

After seeing the situation in the woods, Gu Rubing ordered Ma Chao to take action personally and began to slowly march into the woods with a group of soldiers.

It was like a fire, which melted away the fog that had been gathering in the woods for a long time, and the surroundings became bright in an instant.

The air was filled with the aroma of roasted insects.

Just as Ma Chao and his men were searching, a woman in white suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Who told you to burn the mountain? Do you know how many lives you killed?"

After hearing this, everyone looked at the person who spoke, and when they found out it was a young woman, everyone looked confused.

Ma Chao was the first to react and immediately shouted to the people around him.

"What are you doing? Prepare for defense. This person is not a normal person. She is from the Gu tribe."

As the voice fell, everyone reacted, twitched their weapons, and looked at the woman in front of them vigilantly.

"Gu people, Gu people, when you see us you just say we are Gu people, don't you know that it is very rude to talk to others like this?"

The woman seemed angry. She took out a flute and started playing it.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Chao felt that the ground beneath his feet seemed to be shaking constantly, as if something was about to rush out from it.

Ma Chao led everyone to retreat quickly, and soon they saw a horrifying scene.

A pile of poisonous insects on the ground ran out from the earth and ran towards Ma Chao and his companions.

It turned out that when Gu Rubing was burning the mountain, some of the more powerful poisonous insects found their own ways to survive, and hiding in the soil was one of them.

"These poisonous insects are really annoying."

At this time, Ma Chao had already become a little angry because of these poisonous insects, and then he swung the spear in his hand.

A spear force appeared and smashed the crawling poisonous insect into pieces.

"I really didn't expect that a legendary general would actually take action against a little girl. If that's the case, don't blame me for not giving you face."

Then, everyone saw that the man from the Gu tribe took out a dagger and stabbed it towards his own throat.

There was blood everywhere, and soon it began to drip into the ground.

Along with the blood, poisonous gas also appeared.

Countless poisonous gases gathered in the air.

Although Ma Chao was not afraid of poison gas, the soldiers were.

The moment they saw the poison gas appear, they immediately took Hua Tuo's medicine.

However, soon some people began to show signs of poisoning. They covered their throats with their hands, and finally their lips turned purple. They fell to the ground and completely stopped breathing.

Seeing this scene, Ma Chao knew that the detoxification pill given by Hua Tuo seemed to be of no use.

Ma Chao didn't know that the Gu tribe were big users of poison, so how could they only have one kind of poison?

Although the detoxification pill refined by Hua Tuo can cure hundreds of poisons, it is only effective against common poisons, and only that one special poison.

But the poisons of the Gu tribe are of various kinds, and the detoxification pills can only delay the onset of the toxins.

"Everyone retreat."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Seeing the soldiers around him in such pain, Ma Chao could no longer move forward. He could only take the remaining people, leave the woods, and come to Gu Rubing.

"My lord, the poison of the Gu tribe is too powerful. We are no match for them. We have no choice but to return."

"Poison? Hua Tuo's antidote pills are useless?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Chao could only shake his head.

"I understand. I'll go find Hua Tuo."

After Gu Rubing finished speaking, he immediately returned to the camp and found Hua Tuo.

At this time, Hua Tuo was still grinding medicinal herbs in the camp.

"Hua Tuo, your antidote doesn't work. Many soldiers have been poisoned by the Gu tribe."

"Hmm? That's impossible?"

When Hua Tuo heard the news, of course he didn't believe it. After taking his own detoxification pill, he still got poisoned. What was the purpose of making the detoxification pill?

Seeing that Hua Tuo did not believe it, Gu Rubing immediately ordered people to carry in the bodies of the poisoned soldiers.

Upon seeing this, Hua Tuo immediately stepped forward and checked the bodies. After confirming that they were all poisoned to death, his face changed instantly.

"My Lord, give me some time. I will definitely be able to cure this poison."

Gu Rubing nodded and said nothing.

After Gu Rubing left, Hua Tuo's eyes became deep. He understood that he had thought too simply about the Gu tribe.

The poison gas released on a large scale by the Gu tribe last time was so powerful that it gave Hua Tuo the illusion that the Gu tribe only had this one powerful poison. But what was clear now was that the Gu poison was just one of their many poisons, not all of them.

During the time that Hua Tuo was conducting research, Gu Rubing was not idle either. He kept sending people into the woods with various detoxifying pills, but the effects were always the same, except for the time when Ma Chao went with them. Basically, as many as went in died, and no one survived.

Based on the information passed down when Ma Chao came out, Gu Rubing knew that there must be still people from the Gu tribe deep in the forest, but he had no idea how many there were.

Just when Gu Rubing gave up and was about to let the soldiers rest for a while, Hua Tuo attacked and beat Gu Rubing.

"King Lie, I found an antidote to the poison, but it's a bit troublesome."

"What do you mean? Just tell me directly. But don't even think about those extremely special herbs. We are marching and fighting, not treating people. Herbs that cannot be obtained on a large scale will not have any effect."

"Don't worry, I know this. This herb grows in the Western Regions. It's called Zhilan and is a very yang herb. But it can only grow in the Western Regions, and there are a lot of them in the Western Regions. We need to send someone to the Western Regions to bring it back."

"Western Region?"

When talking about the Western Regions, Gu Rubing thought of the Anluo Empire.

Asking him to send people to the Anluo Empire to search for the medicinal materials he needs and transport them all out without letting Liu Zhang know is simply an impossible task. Instead of doing this, it would be better to let the soldiers rush into the woods. Perhaps they can use their lives to fill a path.

Thinking of this, when Gu Rubing was about to refuse, Zhao Yun came back.

However, Zhao Yun did not return empty-handed, he was holding a man in black in his hand.

"Zilong, what is this?"

"My lord, this is a small leader of the mysterious people who infiltrated this time. I spent several days searching for this group of people before I caught them all. My lord, how should we deal with this person?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Rubing was about to kill him, but Zhao Yun's next words made Gu Rubing completely give up the idea of ​​killing.

"My lord, the princess's death is related to him."

Gu Rubing naturally knew who the princess Zhao Yun was talking about.

When he thought of the little girl's innocent smile, the murderous intent on Gu Rubing's face became even more obvious.

"Take him down, I'll be there in a minute."

Zhao Yun nodded, then captured the man alone in a tent and had people guard him everywhere to prevent him from escaping.

Gu Rubing calmed down his anger, looked at Hua Tuo and asked, "Do you really need this herb called Zhilan?"

"right!"

Gu Rubing already had some ideas in mind.

"I understand. Go back and wait for news."

Hua Tuo also noticed that Gu Rubing had a strong murderous aura. He didn't know what had happened, but he knew that Gu Rubing would really kill someone.

In order to avoid getting into trouble, Hua Tuo turned around and left without stopping.

Gu Rubing came to the tent where the man was imprisoned.

"Who are you?"

Gu Rubing looked at the man and asked immediately.

But it was obvious that the other party did not give him any face. No matter what Gu Rubing asked, he pretended not to hear it. Even when Gu Rubing was really annoyed, he would just say, "Kill me," and then he would not say another word.

For someone else like this, they might just give up and kill him, but Gu Rubing is different.

"Killing you is so boring. I have other ways to make you want to live but not to die."

After saying that, Gu Rubing waved his hand, and a fishing net wrapped the man in black completely. As the fishing net was tightened, the flesh on the man in black gradually bulged out.

Gu Rubing took out a dagger and cut off a piece of meat.

The man in black let out a scream, but the pain alone was not enough to make him let go.

Just when the man in black thought that Gu Rubing had no way to deal with him and was about to kill him, the second knife came again.

Another scream was heard, and the man in black suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

They were all death warriors, and the most elite ones, but in front of Gu Rubing, their willpower was completely vulnerable. (End of this chapter)
