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

Chapter 513: Capture Sun Ce alive, a mutual understanding

The place where the legendary generals in the north fought a great battle welcomed other spectators. Gu Rubing brought three thousand Bai Li soldiers to the battlefield.

The four of them were a little puzzled by Gu Rubing's sudden arrival. They all stopped and looked at Gu Rubing, the uninvited guest.

Faced with the murderous gazes of Dian Wei and Sun Ce, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei directly stood in front of Gu Rubing.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Guan Yu asked with some confusion. Gu Rubing had just been discharged from the hospital and was here, so he had some guesses.

The four people here are all legendary generals, and Gu Rubing is only a second-rate general now. Needless to say, it is very dangerous to come here. Even if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are there to stop him, there is still a considerable risk.

Gu Rubing had no intention of hiding it from Guan Yu and the others, so he whispered.

"Something went wrong on the Jiangxia battlefield. Zilong may have been imprisoned, and General Huang Zu has died in the battle."

Hearing this, Guan Yu was stunned, and Zhang Fei seemed to be furious.

"That old man Sun Jian, is he so powerful?"

"It is still unknown how Sun Jian did it, but what is certain is that Jiangxia County is now in imminent danger."

"Third brother, you and my eldest brother go to Jiangxia County, and I will leave the two of them to me."

A gleam of light flashed in Guan Yu's eyes.

Gu Rubing fell silent. He had originally thought so, but now, he suddenly changed his mind.

"No, we want to capture Sun Ce alive."

"What? Capture me alive? Who are you looking down on?"

Sun Ce in the distance immediately started howling.

Gu Rubing's face was filled with embarrassment. What was going on? How could he hear his voice even though it was so soft?

As if noting Gu Rubing's confusion, Guan Yu explained.

"After being promoted to a legendary general, the perception of the five senses will be greatly improved. Brother, the way you just spoke is actually no different from Sun Ce listening nearby."

After hearing this, Gu Rubing was speechless. There are no secrets in front of you legendary generals. Now that he has been discovered, Gu Rubing simply stopped lowering his voice.

"Capture Sun Ce alive and take his life to Jiangxia!"

Before Gu Rubing finished his words, Guan Yu rushed out like a flash of lightning and arrived in front of Sun Ce in almost an instant. Sun Ce was about to curse when Guan Yu chopped his Overlord Spear hard with his sword, and then Sun Jian shot out like a cannonball.

Dian Wei on the side was about to help, but as soon as he moved, a snake spear came flying at him from behind. Dian Wei had to step back to avoid the attack temporarily.

Zhang Fei’s figure fell down with a bang, he pulled out the Zhangba Snake Spear from the ground, pointed it at Dian Wei, and grinned.

"Your opponent is me."

Dian Wei glanced at Sun Ce who was fighting with Guan Yu in the distance, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

The gap between him and Zhang Fei is not that big, and the two sides will definitely not be able to determine the winner in a short time. Zhang Fei may even have a slight advantage. However, the gap between Guan Yu and Sun Ce is very huge. It is probably only a matter of time before Guan Yu defeats Sun Ce. If he continues to stay here, he may soon face the joint siege of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

By then, he might be left here.

In an instant, Dian Wei thought a lot and decided that the best option for him was to leave immediately.

Zhang Fei wielded the snake spear, and each strike was aimed at the vital points, attacking Dian Wei who was thinking. After the spear scratched Dian Wei's chest, Dian Wei finally stopped hesitating, and suddenly exerted force with both halberds, hitting Zhang Fei's spear shaft, shocking Zhang Fei to step back a few steps.

Then Dian Wei turned around and left without any hesitation.

Sun Ce couldn't help but curse when he saw this scene.

"Dian Wei, you bastard! I didn't abandon you, but you sold me out?"

Before he could finish his words, Guan Yu attacked again, and Sun Ce was knocked back several feet by this sudden blow. He no longer had time to scold Dian Wei and quickly turned around to leave, but Guan Yu would never let him do as he wished.

He had not run far when Guan Yu stood in front of him, and Zhang Fei had caught up with him. With blockades in front and pursuits from behind, Sun Ce knew that he was in great danger today.

Faced with the joint attack of two of the top three fighters in the world, Sun Ce was really helpless and could not express his pain. At the same time, Sun Ce secretly made up his mind that if he could return to Yangzhou alive, he would persuade his father not to form an alliance with Cao Cao anymore. This kind of alliance that stabs allies in the back at a critical moment would have side effects far greater than the effect brought by the alliance.

While struggling to resist the attacks of the two men, Sun Ce retreated backwards.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei soon discovered something was wrong. Sun Ce had been constantly adjusting the direction of his retreat. They didn't pay attention at first, but as they saw their battlefield getting closer and closer to Gu Rubing, even fools knew what Sun Ce was trying to do.

Zhang Fei immediately stopped his attack, leaped forward, passed Sun Ce, and stood between Sun Ce and Gu Rubing. He stepped forward with his right foot and retreated with his left leg, with his Zhangba Snake Spear held horizontally forward. At the tail of the Zhangba Snake Spear was Zhang Fei's ferocious smile.

"You little brat, you want to catch my big brother's attention, are you worthy? Look at the spear!"

Sun Ce's heart sank when he saw this. He had wanted to take advantage of the chaos to approach Gu Rubing and hold him hostage in order to have a chance of survival. But now, Zhang Fei's obstruction put him in an even more dangerous situation.

Guan Yu saw that Sun Ce was forced to retreat by Zhang Fei, so he stopped holding back and swung the Blue Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand like the wind. As the blade flashed, Sun Ce could only barely parry. Guan Yu's swordsmanship was as smooth as flowing water, and each of his strikes contained a tremendous amount of force.

Sun Ce had no way to gain the upper hand against either of the two men, let alone being attacked from the front and back by them. Under the attacks of the two legendary generals, he gradually became unable to cope.

Sun Ce knew that if he continued like this, he would probably be captured alive. Thinking of this, Sun Ce's mind raced, and he remembered what Gu Rubing said when he first arrived. The other party seemed to be eager to support Jiangxia County, and he wanted to capture him alive to use him as a bargaining chip, so he probably wouldn't take his life.

After thinking it through, Sun Ce no longer cared about anything else. He suddenly shouted loudly, concentrating all his strength on the Overlord Spear. The tip of the spear burst out with dazzling light and attacked the two people.

However, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both experienced generals who had fought many battles and could see through Sun Ce's ideas at a glance.

Guan Yu moved his body to the side, cleverly avoiding the tip of Sun Ce's spear, and at the same time, the back of his Green Dragon Crescent Blade turned and hit Sun Ce's shoulder heavily. Zhang Fei turned his body and came to the side of Sun Ce, taking the opportunity to stab him with his spear, pointing directly at Sun Ce's chest. Although Sun Ce tried his best to dodge, he was still scratched on the chest by Zhang Fei's snake spear, and blood immediately stained his battle robe red. He felt dizzy and almost dropped the Overlord Spear in his hand.

The next moment, a sound of breaking air was heard behind him. Sun Ce quickly bent down to avoid it, and thus avoided the Green Dragon Crescent Blade that was whistling from behind.

In order to avoid taking Sun Ce's life, Guan Yu had been using the blade to strike. Otherwise, with that strike just now, Sun Ce would probably have been chopped to death by Guan Yu's sword.

Just after dodging Guan Yu's attack, the next moment, a spear shaft appeared in the eyes of Sun Ce who was bending down. Then the tail of the Zhangba Snake Spear hit Sun Ce's face hard, causing Sun Ce to spin twice in the air before landing.

Guan Yu shouted, "Third brother, a quick fight and a quick decision!"

Then another sword was struck out. Sun Ce, who fell from the air, had no point to exert force. He could only cross his arms and protect his lower abdomen with the Overlord Spear, but he was still knocked back by Guan Yu's sword.

Before Sun Ce could get up, Zhang Fei smashed down with his spear again, hitting Sun Ce hard in the abdomen, almost making him choke. Then Zhang Fei kicked Sun Ce in the chin, knocking him unconscious.

Gu Rubing looked at the cooperation between Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and couldn't help but sigh. The cooperation between the two could no longer be described as tacit understanding. They only needed a glance, or even no glances, to know what each other wanted to do and make the most perfect linkage in the shortest time.

Just now, Sun Ce wanted to attack with brute force, but was broken by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in just two moves. This is the terrifying level of perfect cooperation between the two. Even if it was Dian Wei instead of Sun Ce who was besieged by them, the result would not be any different. The two have truly achieved the effect of 1+1 greater than 2.

Firstly, there is the bonus of the bond with the Five Tiger Generals and the bonus of the bond with the Peach Garden Oath. These are just icing on the cake. The real reason is that the two of them have reached a point of mutual understanding with Gu Rubing, so when Gu Rubing just arrived, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had something in mind.

Generally speaking, if the combat power of two people is 1, they can only have a combat power of about 1.5 when they work together to besiege. If they can reach 1.8, it is already very high, which requires years of cooperation and mutual understanding between the two people.

As for reaching 2 or even greater than 2, that is too outrageous and difficult to achieve.

"Second brother, the plan has changed. You have to go to Nanjun."

Gu Rubing said in a deep voice, Guan Yu raised his eyebrows and immediately understood what Gu Rubing meant.

"Brother, what you mean is that Dian Wei escaped and went to the battlefield in Nanjun?"

Gu Rubing smiled and nodded, while Zhang Fei beside him scratched his head.

"Didn't we conquer Xu Du? Will Cao Cao lead his men to counterattack Xu Du? Dian Wei will definitely follow that old guy Cao Cao."

"Hahaha, Third Brother, I didn't expect you to have such considerations."

The smile on Gu Rubing's face became even more intense.

Zhang Fei felt a little embarrassed and chuckled.

"If Cao Cao hadn't met Dian Wei, he might have led his troops back to Xu Du. But as long as he had met Dian Wei and knew what was happening here, he would definitely not have any thoughts about Xu Du anymore."

After listening to Gu Rubing's explanation, Zhang Fei nodded as if he understood, but Guan Yu explained it to Zhang Fei again.

"Third brother, what I mean is that when Cao Cao sees Dian Wei, he will know that Sun Ce has been captured by us. Then you and I can support Jiangxia and Nanjun respectively. If Dian Wei is not in Nanjun at that time, it will definitely be at a disadvantage. Compared with an empty shell of Xudu, Cao Cao will definitely be more powerful in his area."

Guan Yu's analysis made Zhang Fei suddenly realize his mistake.

"Third brother, well done. As the commander of an army, this is what you should do. You should not only be strong in martial arts, but also consider other things. Only when you have both martial arts and strategy can you be considered a good commander."

"Yes, brother, I understand."

Zhang Fei nodded.

This led Gu Rubing and Guan Yu to say that Zhang Fei was able to listen, and Zhuge Liang said that Zhang Fei might also listen to some of it. Now Zhang Fei has been conquered by Zhuge Liang's strategic planning, and has even started to read the Art of War recently. Except for a few people, even Xi Zhicai and Fa Zheng said that Zhang Fei just listened in one ear and out the other. If it were anyone else, Zhang Fei would probably just pick up his spear and start fighting.

"Second brother, the situation is urgent and should not be delayed. Let's say goodbye now."

"Okay, Third Brother, you must protect Big Brother."

Guan Yu gave his blessing earnestly, but although Zhang Fei was impetuous, he was also meticulous and took Gu Rubing's matter very seriously, so Guan Yu was not too worried.

After hearing this, Zhang Fei patted his chest.

"Don't worry, brother. Leave it to me. I will definitely protect you."

Guan Yu nodded slightly, clasped his fists towards the two brothers, turned around, jumped on his Red Hare, and rode away.

"Safe travels."

As soon as Gu Rubing finished speaking, he felt that it was not appropriate. Who else in the world could stop Guan Yu? I am afraid no one could stop him. However, Gu Rubing knew that Guan Yu was arrogant, which was his biggest shortcoming. In history, it was because of his arrogance that Guan Yu was defeated in Maicheng and captured by Lu Meng.

Although Lu Meng had already been killed by Zhao Yun, Gu Rubing couldn't help but worry that there would be other troubles to correct this historical mistake. He was now going against the trend and had to be careful at all times.

Guan Yu didn't look back, but just waved his hand, and his figure disappeared from sight.

Gu Rubing lowered the brim of his hat a little. The weather was really too cold. Gu Rubing even felt that the weather at this time was almost the same as the modern weather in Northeast China. The fierce cold wind blew on his face like a knife, but the further south he went, the more humid it was. The wind was no longer as sharp as a knife, but was replaced by a lingering moisture.

Gu Rubing let out a long sigh and looked at Sun Ce who was being carried by Zhang Fei.

"Don't let him wake up along the way. If he wakes up, knock him out."

"okay."

Zhang Fei grinned, glanced at Sun Ce who was in his hands, and his smile became even wider.

Ordinary binding is basically meaningless for famous generals and first-class military commanders, as they can easily break free. Binding is just a formality. But for someone like Sun Ce, even if he is tied up, as long as he is awake, he will definitely do something weird. In order to save trouble along the way, it is better to knock him out and be done with it once and for all.

This is what Gu Rubing said, and Zhang Fei listened and did. Every time Sun Ce showed signs of waking up, Zhang Fei would give him a dagger without hesitation, and then Sun Ce, who had not yet woken up, would become even more unconscious.

Sun Ce, on the other hand, felt like he was going through a tribulation. It took a long time each time. When it came to the last moment, there was always a powerful person waiting there, who would knock him back to the beginning with one blow, so that he could start over again. What confused and angered Sun Jian the most was that the extremely powerful person waiting at the last moment was actually Zhang Fei!
Every time Zhang Fei beat him back to the starting point, he would curse Zhang Fei madly.
