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

Chapter 516: Can You Bear the Consequences? Are You Worthy of It?
Inside the city of Wu County, Sun Quan was sitting at the city gate with a gloomy face, quietly waiting for Lu Xun's arrival. The 13,000 cavalrymen who were withdrawn from the battlefield by Lu Xun were now on full alert outside the city.

These cavalrymen who had just come off the battlefield stood obediently beside their horses, not saying a word.

The war horses seemed to sense the solemn atmosphere and not even a single one snorted.

Soon, the sound of horse hooves came from the west, getting closer and closer. When the horses finally appeared in sight, one of them went straight forward and soon arrived at the city gate.

The person who came was none other than Lu Xun, who came to raise an army to call for punishment.

"Young Master! Why are you sending 17,000 cavalrymen from the city to join the battle?"

Until now, Lu Xun's tone remained gentle. After all, the person standing in front of him was the young master. Otherwise, even if it was Zhou Yu and the others, Lu Xun would have been furious at this moment. For the sake of his own career, Lu Xun still tried his best to restrain himself.

"Lu Xun! I haven't asked you yet! Why did you take the initiative to lead only 10,000 men to fight Zhang Liao? And why did you withdraw the troops I sent after they arrived at the battlefield?"

Lu Xun was about to speak when he was interrupted by Sun Quan's rapid-fire words.

"Ten thousand men have already dragged Zhang Liao into the quagmire. In just a short time, nearly eight hundred men were wiped out. If you had brought everyone along, Zhang Liao would have been destroyed by now! Or is General Boyan afraid that Sun Quan would die and you would no longer be able to lead the troops? Are you going to be a deputy general under my brother again?!"

Sun Quan's words were heart-piercing. They were no longer just accusations about the war, but had risen to the level of Lu Xun's ambition.

Lu Xun was so angry at this moment that he could no longer bear it.

"Sun Quan! If more people can defeat Zhang Liao, then he should have been defeated the first time when his 1,000 cavalrymen fought against your 50,000 men. And in the battle of Jiangling City in Xuzhou, with 130,000 to 10,000, the advantage was even greater. Why didn't you take Jiangling City, but instead suffered heavy losses?"

"Ten thousand men were able to fight Zhang Liao back and forth, but twenty-seven thousand men can't do the same? This is simply absurd!"

Sun Quan stood up suddenly. This young man, who had always been gentle and polite, finally revealed the violent temper that was passed down in their Sun family.

"Even if we can't take it, it's because of your wrong command! After you withdrew these people, the number was even less than 10,000. Why did you still lose to Zhang Liao? Didn't you say that 10,000 cavalry would be enough to fight Zhang Liao?"

Lu Xun was so angry at Sun Quan's words that he was shaking all over. He wanted to explain to Sun Quan, but his pride as a famous general made him unwilling to admit his mistake.

"General Boyan, go and have a rest. From now on, I will be in charge! General Boyan just needs to obey my orders."

"Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to defend Wu County? Can you afford the consequences?"

Lu Xun said with gritted teeth, while Sun Quan smiled contemptuously.

"Whether I can afford the consequences or not is not the point. What I know is that you absolutely cannot afford it."

Sun Quan waved to Lu Xun and stopped looking at him. Instead, he waved to the cavalrymen who had just arrived behind Lu Xun and the cavalrymen who had been waiting outside the city.

"Everyone, after entering the city, drink a lot of wine and eat a lot of meat, and wait until tomorrow morning to fight Zhang Liao again and defeat the enemy all the way!"

When the cavalrymen heard this, they all became agitated. Even though they were the most valuable cavalrymen, they could not eat meat for every meal, or even every month. Now that they had lost the battle, they still had meat to eat, how could they not be happy.

Some of them frowned. These people were all Lu Xun's confidants. Seeing Sun Quan treating Lu Xun like this, they were naturally indignant. But seeing that Lu Xun himself did not say anything, they could only swallow their anger and follow the cavalry army to bypass Wuxian City and come to the cavalry camp in the south of Wuxian City.

It was already late at night and the moon had quietly climbed up to the treetops.

The military town had been recaptured by 10,000 sailors. After all the food and fodder inside were taken away, they emptied the military town and left an empty military town for Zhang Liao and his men.

For a while, the situation in Yangzhou Wujun became more bizarre and unpredictable because of the arrival of Sun Quan.

On the other side, in Jiangxia County, the night was dark. Gu Rubing, accompanied by Zhang Fei and three deputy generals of the Bai Li soldiers, went to the camp of Sun Jian and his men.

In fact, Zhang Fei alone would be enough, but Zhang Fei was worried that the other side would rush out, leaving him no time to take care of other things, which would be disadvantageous to Gu Rubing, so he asked to bring the three centurions of the Bai Li soldiers. These three centurions were all second-rate generals. Although they were not good enough, they could buy Zhang Fei some time.

At that time, even if they really wanted to harm Gu Rubing, the protection of the three people would give Zhang Fei some time to react so that he would not be without any trump cards.

There were five people in the group, no, it should be said that there were six people, after all, Zhang Fei was still holding Sun Ce in his hand. The group went straight to the Jiangdong camp ten miles east of Jiangxia County.

The camp was brightly lit, with countless bonfires surrounding the camp's fences. There were fire pots set up with blazing bonfires, lighting up the entire camp. In the camp, there were countless soldiers walking back and forth holding torches, highlighting the solemn atmosphere of the camp.

When Gu Rubing and Zhang Fei were still two miles away from the main camp, the patrolling cavalry rushed forward and surrounded them, leaving only a gap in front for them to pass.

They just surrounded Gu Rubing and the others, chattering about something, and did not take any other action.

Gu Rubing looked around at everyone with disdain.

"Why, you dare to surround us but don't dare to take action? If you had the courage to take action, I would respect you as heroes. Now, haha, you are just a group of cowards who rely on the power of others to bully others!"

Gu Rubing's words were extremely provocative, and he almost said "come and hit me if you don't agree with me."

If these people came here without Sun Jian's authorization, Gu Rubing would never believe it. This was clearly a warning to him, so how could it make him happy?

"Everyone, the reason why you guys don't dare to go up now is because of my third brother? Do you think you are no match for him? Hahaha, it doesn't matter. Do you see these three behind me? They are the three centurions in my battalion. All of you, as long as you are first-rate generals, can rush up and try to surround and kill them. You can succeed. I have absolutely no complaints. What do you think?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present became excited. It was just a matter of so many people surrounding and killing three people, and they could also have their generals join the battle, so no matter what, they would not be defeated by three people.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to be the first to step forward.

"King Lie, none of us knows whether Lord Yanzhou Mu will intervene."

One of the leaders shouted that even though they were facing the enemy on the battlefield, they still respected Gu Rubing and Zhang Fei by their official titles. After all, if Zhang Fei got angry, he could twist off his head in just a few breaths.

Sun Jian asked them to come here to intimidate Gu Rubing, not to seek death.

"Hahaha, once I've spoken, I can't go back on my words. As long as you don't have someone above the first-rate general to take action, then my third brother will definitely not take action." "Kill!"

As soon as Gu Rubing finished speaking, the man who was asking questions shouted "Kill!", then took out two spear heads from his waist and threw them out, and then he also waved his spear and rushed towards the three people.

Gu Rubing smiled slightly, finally he was fooled.

"Three of you, I leave it to you."

The three people behind him grinned.

"My lord, leave it to us."

Three men rode out on their horses and began to charge forward. One of them moved forward slightly, and the other two followed closely behind. The three of them formed the simplest cavalry formation and began to charge.

There were hundreds of people surrounding them, including four second-rate generals, who were obviously coming for them.

Three people versus hundreds of people, there should be no surprises in a battle with such a huge disparity in combat power.

And the fact was indeed so. There were no major surprises. It was just that the result was reversed. The three of them killed hundreds of people and personally cut off the heads of the four second-rate generals.

The battle was over quickly, in only about a quarter of an hour, because the three men were so brave that they lined up and charged forward, with their backs to each other, charging into the crowd like a horn and not moving again. Using the advantages of their spears, each man was responsible for one side of the enemy, which could not only effectively prevent enemy sneak attacks, but also ensure that their own combat power would not be wasted.

In this way, the three of them survived the repeated sieges of hundreds of enemies and wiped out the enemy completely.

Only two first-rate generals were left standing there staring at the scene in a daze. These two men were Zhou Yu's lieutenants. They had followed Zhou Yu in the battlefield for many years, but they had never seen a situation like this.

If you tell others that three unknown centurions were able to withstand the charge of hundreds of cavalrymen, not many people would believe it. After all, the other party was not a famous general, but just a centurion under Gu Rubing.

"You two are still here, do you want to fight with my third brother? I, the three brothers, cannot be bullied by you two. If you two are still interested, let my third brother play with you two?"

Gu Rubing was not the kind of person who spoiled his children, and seeing that the two men were about to spit fire and almost wanted to eat the gazes of the five of them, Gu Rubing naturally brought up Zhang Fei. With such a legendary general right beside him, how could he suffer a loss?
Zhang Fei didn't waste any words. He held Sun Ce in one hand and the spear in the other, rode his horse to Gu Rubing, raised the spear and pointed it at the two of them.

"Either roll over here and let Grandpa Zhang stab you to death with his spear, or get out of the way quickly. A good dog doesn't block the road!"

Zhang Fei always uttered the simplest words, which were often surprisingly powerful. After Zhang Fei's roar, the two first-rate generals, whose faces were about to fade into the night, could only turn around and leave, no matter how unwilling they were.

What else can they do if they don't leave? Are they really going to test Zhang Fei? That would be courting death, they haven't lived long enough.

Sure enough, just as Gu Rubing had expected, the next two miles were smooth sailing and they finally arrived at the camp. At the entrance of the camp, there were several people guarding the door, as they knew that no matter how many people guarded it, it would be useless as there were only a few people guarding the gate.

"King Lie, I'm sorry, but please put your weapons here."

A man who looked like a lieutenant came forward tremblingly, saying that he wanted to die at this moment. Sending a small fry like him to surrender? This was just a joke.

Zhang Fei took a step forward and stood between Gu Rubing and the little leader.

Tongling's eyes widened and looked at him viciously, with undisguised murderous intent in his eyes.

"See who this is?"

As Zhang Fei spoke, he lifted up Sun Ce, who was in his hands, so that the people guarding the camp could see him clearly, and at the same time he gave Sun Ce a dagger.

This is because Sun Ce was already a legendary general, otherwise with Zhang Fei’s fighting style, he would probably have been killed along the way.

After seeing their young master being held in the other party's hands, several people were so shocked that they were speechless, including the two first-rate generals who had just besieged them and survived. Their faces changed drastically. They were just busy stopping them and did not notice that the person Zhang Fei was holding from beginning to end was actually their young master.

The two men knew the interests involved, and waved to the gatekeepers, signaling them to let them pass. At the same time, they came to the front from behind Gu Rubing and the others. They had to report the matter to Sun Jian as soon as possible.

Sun Jian invited Gu Rubing here because he had the leverage over Huang Zhong. However, he never expected that Gu Rubing not only came, but also brought their young master with him.

When Gu Rubing and his group leisurely arrived at the place that Sun Jian had prepared long ago, Gu Rubing couldn't help but chuckle.

I saw a pavilion suddenly built on the empty land of the horse farm, and the appearance of the pavilion was exactly the same as the scene when Gu Rubing and Sun Jian had a conversation around the fire while brewing tea last time.

"Quite vindictive."

Gu Rubing chuckled and walked straight into the pavilion.

In the pavilion, Sun Jian had been waiting there for a long time. At this moment, his face looked so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out of it.

In addition to Sun Jian, there were several other people standing in the pavilion, including Zhou Yu, Gan Ning, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and even Cao Zhang. Next to Gan Ning, there was a general who was also unconscious, and it was Huang Zhong.

However, Huang Zhong was obviously not like Sun Ce. He was knocked unconscious by Zhang Fei, and it seemed more like he had endured tremendous torture and passed out due to exhaustion.

"Please take a seat."

Sun Jian just glanced at Sun Ce and then restrained himself from looking again.

Looking at Huang Zhong like this, Gu Rubing felt a nameless fire rising in his heart, and he didn't even look at Sun Jian.

"Who do you think you are to sit with this king?"

Sun Jian was stunned when he heard this, as if he had not expected Gu Rubing to be so disrespectful to him. Just as he was about to get angry, he saw Zhang Fei behind Gu Rubing, holding his beloved son in one hand and leaning on the ground with a Zhangba Snake Spear in the other. His anger subsided on its own.

"King Lie, didn't I ask you to come here today just to resolve the misunderstanding between us? Why do you have to do this?"
