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

Chapter 336: Zhang He dispatches troops to Jiujiang County, Xu You with low emotional intelligence
"Wow, I'm in tears. Zhang Wenyuan is a man of both loyalty and righteousness, while Zhou Gongjin, the rat from Jiangdong, is a rat! What a rat!"

"Hey, General Wenyuan, have a safe journey."

"How did Zhou Yu become a general when he had such a hard time defeating a 10,000-man defense army with 130,000 troops? It's strange."

"It's not that Zhou Yu is too weak, it's that Zhang Liao is too strong. If someone else were to come, they might not be able to beat Zhang Liao."

"We have taken down Guangling City. Although we suffered heavy losses, we have taken it down anyway. We can now return to support Jiangdong. Otherwise, Yangzhou may be gone in a few days, and only Guangling City will be left."

"Awesome! 10,000 defended 130,000 and still achieved this record, killing nearly 50,000 people. Too strong. What a pity."

"General Wenyuan, have a safe journey."

Zhou Yu's sword was raised high, ready to strike down at any time.

Netizens in the live broadcast room have already started to send off General Wenyuan with messages on the screen.

At this moment, a loud shout was heard, and the sounds of countless horse hooves came from far away and approached, and in an instant they arrived in Guangling City.

"Zhang Junyi is here! You Jiangdong rats, stop being so presumptuous!"

An arrow arrived first and knocked down the sword of the General who Slayed Bandits that Zhou Yu was holding high. Then countless black cavalrymen rushed into Guangling City from all directions.

At the critical moment, Zhang He finally led 30,000 cavalrymen into Guangling City.

"Follow me to rescue General Wenyuan!"

Zhang He roared angrily, and hundreds of riders followed him into the enemy camp. Zhou Yu looked at Zhang Liao who was already on the verge of collapse, picked up the General Bandit Slayer, and was about to chop off Zhang Liao's head with a sword, but was interrupted by an arrow from Zhang He again. The next moment, Zhang He led hundreds of riders and rushed into the encirclement. He grabbed Zhang Liao, who was already covered in blood, put him on the horse's back, and began to rush out.

Zhang Liao could barely open his eyes a crack. He could only watch Zhou Yu raise his sword. He had no strength left. Just when he was about to let out the breath he had been holding, a strong and powerful hand pulled him onto the warhorse. Zhang Liao didn't even have the strength to hold on to his Yellow Dragon Hook Scythe and let it fall to the ground.

Thirty thousand cavalrymen charged into Guangling City. Looking at Zhang He, who had fought his way out of a bloody path and was gradually disappearing from his sight, and Zhang Liao, who was already unconscious on his horse, Zhou Yu knew that he might have missed the only chance in his life to kill Zhang Liao and get rid of his inner demons.

"Withdraw from Guangling City!"

Helplessly, Zhou Yu gave the order to retreat. He stared at Zhang Liao who was lying on the horse's back with a terrifying look.

A round sun was already hanging in the middle of the sky. This huge offensive and defensive battle lasted from midnight to noon. With the help of 10,000 garrison troops, Zhang Liao defended against the crazy attack of 130,000 troops and killed nearly 50,000 of them.

Zhang He brought the blood-stained Zhang Liao back to the prefectural governor's mansion. The mansion was crowded with people, all of whom were the people brought by Zhang Liao. At this moment, Zhang Liao had completely lost his mind.

"Where's the miracle doctor? Hurry up and invite him over."

Zhang He shouted to the person behind him. One of the tasks he received when he came to support Guangling City this time was to ensure Zhang Liao's safety. Moreover, this was the top priority that Gu Rubing had personally instructed. According to Gu Rubing, even if Guangling City was lost, and the entire Xuzhou was lost, Wen Yuan must not be in any danger!

A hunchbacked old man walked out from the end of the team, carrying a medicine box on his back. He first stretched out two fingers to feel Zhang Liao's breath, and then let out a long breath.

"General Zhang was exhausted and seriously injured, so he fainted."

Hua Tuo said to Zhang He.

"Prepare a clean room for me. I want to treat General Zhang."

Upon hearing this, Zhang He immediately asked the people around him to start preparing.

When he was the only one left in the room, he took out a small brocade bag from the gun pouch on his waist, which was exactly the same as Zhang Fei's.

Also before setting off, Zhuge Liang gave him this treasure bag and told him that if Guangling City could be defended or reoccupied, in short, as long as Guangling City was still in his hands, he should open this treasure bag.

After Zhang He opened the brocade bag, there was also a piece of paper inside with a few lines of words written on it.

"Go to Jiujiang County City, meet up with General Yide, and take Jiujiang and Lujiang counties directly."

Looking at the contents on the note, Zhang He understood. If Guangling City was defended, it meant that Zhou Yu would definitely send troops back to support Jiangdong. At that time, Zhang Fei, who was active in Jiujiang and Lujiang areas, might be in danger, so he asked them to return.

And on Zhang He's chest, there was another brocade bag, which was given to him together with another one, but the condition for opening it was after he met with Zhang Fei.

Without thinking any more, he sent his deputy general to meet the large army behind him. Zhang He led 30,000 cavalrymen from Guangling City to attack Jiujiang County...

Yangzhou was in chaos at the moment. In the lobby of Wujun County, there was solemnity and silence. No one dared to speak out and cause bad luck. Looking at the battle reports sent from the front line, Sun Jian finally had a smile on his face.

"General Gongjin led his army into Guangling City, and only 8,000 soldiers were left to defend it."

Sun Jian casually handed the battle report to Sun Ce, who also smiled happily after reading it.

"Congratulations, father. We have captured Guangling City in this battle. I believe Gongjin will be able to come back soon. By then, Jingzhou's Liu Biao and Zhang Fei will be unable to escape! As long as we can destroy the Jingzhou army here, it will be just around the corner to capture Jingzhou. Liu Bei's main force is preparing to fight against Cao Cao, and he will suffer heavy losses. No matter which of them wins, it will be difficult to stop your father's steps!"

After listening to Sun Ce's analysis, Sun Jian could no longer suppress the smile on his face and laughed out loud towards the sky.

Sun Ce handed the battle report in his hand to Sun Quan, who was in charge. After Sun Quan took it, he glanced at it, passed it around, and then stood up and clasped his fists.

"Congratulations, father, on recovering Guangling!"

After everyone in the hall had finished reading the battle report, it was returned to the desk in front of Sun Jian. Sun Jian stood up, full of energy and vigor.

"All generals, listen up! Have a big banquet tonight to welcome Gongjin!"

"promise!"

Looking at the high-spirited Sun Jian and the Jiangdong generals, the live broadcast room completely exploded.

"Classic, too classic, champagne at halftime, forever classic!" "No, Sun Menghu, stop bragging, I can't even imagine how loud it will be when you get slapped in the face."

"Please, planner, weaken Liu Caoxie. Our Sun Menghu has been chopped into pieces. He is almost insane. Let's start popping champagne at halftime."

"Okay, from now on, Zhang Liao is not only Zhou Yu's nemesis, but also Jiangdong's nemesis. Whenever Sun Menghu meets Zhang Liao, he will be defeated."

"My evaluation is that Zhang Liao is a tiger-fighting general who specializes in fighting the fierce tigers of Jiangdong."

"If we wait until the next battle report arrives, Sun Menghu will be so angry that he will vomit blood and die. Zhou Yu defeated Zhang Liao three times and slapped Sun Menghu in the face three times. It's amazing."

"The biggest taboo in military strategy is to open champagne at halftime."

Netizens in the live broadcast room expressed sympathy for Sun Jian, who was still unaware of the truth. After all, he didn't know that Gongjin, who he thought had won a great victory and had captured Guangling City, was now on the way to retreat. Not only did he fail to capture Guangling City and kill Zhang Liao, but he was also robbed of his 50,000 men in exchange for 10,000 of them by Zhang Liao.

They didn't win a big victory, but instead suffered a crushing defeat, but they were still celebrating here. This scene made the netizens in the live broadcast room laugh and cry.

In the live broadcast, after Sun Jian finished speaking, he walked towards the inner hall, and Sun Ce and Sun Quan quickly followed behind him.

"Outside the house are the master and his subjects, inside the house are the father and his son, sit down, don't be restrained."

Sun Jian spoke to Sun Ce and Sun Quan, and then the two of them sat down.

"Bofu, Zhongmou, now that Guangling City has won a great victory, I believe Gongjin has completely taken over Guangling City now, and will return to Jiangdong in a few days. When that time comes, I hope that you two can lead the troops in person to support Gu Yong."

"I will follow my father's orders."

Sun Ce sat up straight and responded. Although Sun Quan was a little slow, he also followed his brother in replying to Sun Jian. However, at this moment, Sun Quan's mind was filled with the figure who held a hook and sickle and led more than a thousand cavalrymen to tear apart the formation of their 50,000-strong army.

That person was not only Zhou Yu's inner demon, but also the inner demon of Sun Quan, who suffered a major defeat at his first attempt.

As if he could see Sun Quan's worry, Sun Jian reached out and touched Sun Quan's head. After all, he was still a minor, and the shadow cast on him by the past was too great, causing this underage hero to have some obstacles in his heart and some fear of the battlefield.

If he cannot overcome his fear, it will probably have a huge impact on his future.

"Zhongmou, Gongjin has already entered Guangling City. Zhang Liao should have been killed by the sword by now. Don't worry about it. You are still young. In time, Zhang Liao will definitely not be your opponent."

After hearing Sun Jian's words, Sun Quan nodded solemnly. He was also confident that he would never be weaker than Zhang Liao in the future.

……

On the other side, in Taiyuan County City of Bingzhou, Cao Cao had already arrived at the city. With 50,000 troops, he merely besieged the city and did not launch an attack because it was too abnormal.

After Cao Cao led his troops to Taiyuan County, he was shocked by the scene before him. The gate of Taiyuan County was wide open, and there was no one at the gate. On the gate, Guan Yu was standing alone with his sword.

This scene indeed frightened Cao Cao. He did not launch an attack immediately, but instead set up camp ten miles outside the city of Taiyuan.

Inside Cao's camp tent, Cao Cao sat at the head seat, eating and listening to reports from his men.

When he heard that all the people he sent to deliver letters to Sun Jian had not returned and Sun Jian had not sent any information, he once again demonstrated his unique skills.

With a "bang", a bowl of rice was dropped on the desk in front of him.

"What does Sun Jian mean? Is he going to betray our alliance?"

Cao Cao was very confused. Both parties had already agreed on the alliance, but now there was no cooperation. Not to mention cooperation, even the scouts sent out to deliver letters fell on deaf ears. Cao Cao sent out three waves of people to deliver the letters, each wave had ten people, starting from different directions and heading to Jiangdong, just in case something unexpected happened on the way. However, he did not receive a single reply, and even the people sent to deliver the letters did not come back. In this situation, how could Cao Cao not suspect that Sun Jian had betrayed the alliance?

"My Lord, I think the alliance with Sun Jian is not important. We should first take Taiyuan City and capture Guan Yu alive as a bargaining chip in the negotiation with Liu Bei."

Xu You, who was below, had not eaten and had no appetite. After hearing what Cao Cao said, he immediately stood up and bowed to persuade Cao Cao that he should attack Taiyuan County City immediately and not delay any longer.

"Yun Chang opened the city gate and sat alone on the city wall. Yun Chang is not a frivolous person, he is very steady. There must be an ambush in the city, so we cannot attack the city easily."

As Cao Cao spoke, he skillfully used chopsticks to scoop all the rice on the table into his bowl.

"My lord, I don't know what's going on with Sun Jian right now, but we've sent out so many scouts, but no news has been sent back. This is enough to show that Liu Bei and his men have already taken action. Maybe the information couldn't be sent out because they were robbed and killed by Liu Bei. I think Guan Yu is bluffing! As long as my lord launches an attack, Guan Yu's disguise will be exposed!"

Xu You spoke again, but bent down, hoping that Cao Cao could reconsider it. Cao Cao glanced at Xu You indifferently, said nothing, and continued eating. Just as Xu You was about to speak again, he was interrupted by Cao Cao.

"Okay, there's no need to say any more."

Cao Cao was already dissatisfied because Xu You prevented him from returning to Xu Du to visit Guo Jia last time. Now, seeing Xu You starting to get stuck in a dead end again, Cao Cao could hardly suppress his anger.

At this moment, Xun Yu stood up.

"My lord, you are right. Guan Yu is a steady man and would not take such a risk. There must be an ambush in the city, but what Ziyuan said is not entirely unreasonable. Now I am in the open and the enemy is in the dark. We should not delay too long. I suggest that you try to attack Taiyuan County City to test Guan Yu's strength."

Cao Cao's anger, which was about to explode, subsided a little after hearing Xun Yu's words, but he had no appetite at all. He threw his bowl and chopsticks on the table, turned around and left without saying a word.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is the difference between high EQ and low EQ. Both are trying to persuade Cao Zhonger to attack the city. One has a tough attitude and doesn't give the boss any face. Even if the boss agrees with what you say, he will feel embarrassed. Even if your method is right, the boss will not think you are a good subordinate. On the contrary, look at what Xun Yu said. It's exactly the same as what Xu You wanted to express, but he said it in a different way. Not only does it save the boss's face, it also makes the boss feel comfortable and lets the boss save face. This is the subordinate that the boss really likes."

"【Shocked.jpg】【Shocked.jpg】【Shocked.jpg】Cao Zhonger and the others are speaking Chinese, right? Why do I need translation and annotations to read Chinese now?"

"You can never learn enough from your father-in-law in your lifetime! [Baoquan.jpg]"

"Xu You is just too honest, he has no emotional intelligence, he speaks directly and doesn't beat around the bush. Such a person, even if he has talent, will generally not be reused. After all, no one likes a subordinate who keeps contradicting them."

"High IQ, low EQ. What Xu You said is indeed right. Now that Cao Zhonger and Sun Menghu have lost contact, every minute of delay may cause something unexpected to happen. We must immediately launch a large-scale attack on the city and capture Taiyuan County. If we can capture Guan Yu alive, that would be even better. Then we will have bargaining chips to negotiate with Liu Bei."
