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

Chapter 544 Zhang Fei’s complaint!
After Gan Ning shouted, he chased after him.

Zhou Yu wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

In the distance, Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan also saw this scene, hesitated for a moment, and followed.

Miao Moqing was in the camp, so the four of them had nothing to worry about.

There were tens of thousands of troops following behind the four people.

When Huang Zhong saw that these people were led away by Zhang He, he immediately took Xu Rong and rushed into the camp.

When Miao Moqing saw this scene, she turned around and left. She had no obligation to stay to protect the camp.

All of Huang Zhong's actions were carried out in accordance with Zhuge Liang's instructions, and his purpose was very simple, which was to kill the patriarch of the Gu tribe.

Zhuge Liang had planned everything, even who Zhang He would fight with and who would chase him out. The only thing he didn't expect was that the leader of the Gu tribe had no intention of defending himself and just ran away.

Huang Zhong searched for a long time in Cao's army camp, but he didn't see any trace of Miao Moqing, and he didn't even see any people from the Gu tribe.

The four people who chased out also discovered that something had happened in the camp. Seeing that Zhang He had already led his men into the city, they went straight back to the camp.

At this time, Huang Zhong's sneak attack ended and he returned to the city from another direction.

This operation was a failure for both sides.

Zhou Yu suffered losses, and Huang Zhong did not achieve his goal. After Miao Moqing saw from a distance that the camp was fine, he slowly walked back with the people of the Gu tribe.

"Chief, what do you mean by this? Why did you abandon the defense of the camp and run away? You know, cowardice is punishable by death."

Zhou Yu looked at Miao Moqing with murderous intent in his eyes. Even Cao Ren and others beside him looked at him unfriendly at this time.

The leader of the Gu tribe was originally from Sun Jian's camp. Although they were a coalition force, they each had their own lords after all. Naturally, people in Cao Cao's camp could not say anything about what happened in Sun Jian's camp.

But just because they don't say it doesn't mean they aren't angry. If there isn't a perfect explanation, there will probably be a gap between the two sides in future battles.

The four coalition forces, combined together, can suppress Liu Bei. Once they are dispersed, they will definitely give Liu Bei the opportunity to defeat them one by one.

We must not let this small matter ruin the coalition's greater cause.

Zhou Yu had a lot of things in mind. Under the current circumstances, he had to stand up and be the first to blame Miao Moqing. He only hoped that Miao Moqing could give everyone a reasonable explanation.

Miao Moqing did not disappoint Zhou Yu's expectations.

"Generals, the enemy troops are Huang Zhong and Xu Rong, two famous generals under Liu Bei. I am alone, and I think everyone knows what my combat capability is. Do you want to turn this place into a cemetery? Or do you want the remaining tens of thousands of troops to be buried with Huang Zhong and the others?"

After hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Although they also wanted to say in their hearts that it was not impossible to exchange the lives of Huang Zhong and Xu Rong for tens of thousands of troops, after all, there were still many soldiers around. If they heard it, they would definitely have other ideas in their minds. On the battlefield, who would be willing to fight for them?

"Forget it, let's just forget about this matter. Our loss isn't that big anyway, it's just a little embarrassing."

Cao Ren waved his hand and said nothing.

"Okay, everyone, get ready. We will attack the city tomorrow morning. We must take Huarong within two days."

After Huang Zhong returned to Huarong, he saw Zhang He coming towards him.

"Old General, where have you been? Why didn't I see you when I came back?"

Huang Zhong sighed helplessly and handed Zhuge Liang's secret bag to Zhang He.

After taking a few glances, Zhang He looked at Huang Zhong in confusion.

"Old General, did you succeed?"

"If we succeeded, would we be so worried? Who would have known that the Gu tribe leader would run away when we rushed in? They had no intention of defending the camp at all."

Huang Zhong smiled bitterly and said nothing more. He sat directly in the main seat. He had a premonition that Zhou Yu would start attacking the city tomorrow.

Ugly time.

Zhou Yu led a large group of people and slowly approached the Huarong city wall.

However, the soldiers defending Huarong City seemed to be asleep.

Zhou Yu looked at the direction of the city wall in confusion. Normally speaking, Liu Bei's military discipline should be very good. Such high combat effectiveness would be impossible without good military discipline. They have already launched a sneak attack under the city wall, so why haven't Huang Zhong and others reacted yet?

While Zhou Yu was puzzled, Cao's army had already set up the siege ladders.

Just as some Cao army soldiers were climbing up the siege ladder, Huang Zhong's voice suddenly rang out.

"Do it."

As the sound fell, countless arrows rained down, and boulders and wooden beams rolled down from the walls.

Many of Cao's soldiers were killed.

Zhou Yu then realized that his actions were completely within other people's expectations.

But this made Zhou Yu even more curious. In order to prevent Liu Bei's spies in the military camp, he deliberately said that the siege would begin tomorrow, but he did not tell anyone that tomorrow referred to the hour of Chou.

How did the other party know about my plan?

However, the situation on the battlefield did not allow Zhou Yu to think carefully, as Huang Zhong and Zhang He had already led their men to attack.

"Gan Ning, go stop Zhang He. Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan, go deal with Huang Zhong."

When Gan Ning heard Zhou Yu's order, he was extremely excited. Finally, he didn't have to fight Huang Zhong anymore.

However, after the three rushed out, they found that it seemed that they did not have the final say on who to choose.

Huang Zhong took the lead and directly faced Gan Ning. The other two had no choice but to face Zhang He.

"Huang Zhong, you old bastard, you insisted on looking for me, today I will kill you."

Gan Ning directly summoned eighteen black shadows and rushed towards Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong took out the Red Blood Sword. As the two sides fought, the Red Blood Sword was replenished, and Huang Zhong became more and more courageous.

With the 300% attack power bonus from the Red Blood Sword, Gan Ning was suppressed from the beginning.

In comparison, Zhang He had some troubles.

Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren were both famous generals, and their overall strength was no less than Zhang He. Every clash between the two sides was a heavy blow to both Zhang He and the Five Tiger Soul-Breaking Spear.

After resisting Cao Ren's attack, Xiahou Yuan's attack came one after another before he could even catch his breath.

At this extremely critical moment, a strong wind appeared behind Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan immediately turned sideways.

An arrow flew past him, leaving a white mark on his armor.

The person who shot the arrow was Huang Zhong.

When Gan Ning saw this, he suddenly felt humiliated.

While fighting with me, Huang Zhong was able to distract himself to support Zhang He. Wouldn't that make me a waste?

"Old man, you are going too far!"

Gan Ning swung the ancient ingot knife faster and more powerfully.

However, this was not a problem for Huang Zhong. When Zhou Yu was commanding Cao's army to attack the city, a group of people rushed into Cao's army from the rear.

Hearing the chaos in the rear, Zhou Yu turned around and looked behind him, just in time to see Zhang Liao rushing towards him from a distance. None of Cao's soldiers along the way could stop Zhang Liao.

"Kill Zhang Liao and you'll get a reward of 10,000."

Zhou Yu knew that he was no match for Zhang Liao, and the soldiers in Yangzhong all had a deep fear of Zhang Liao, this evil star.

There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. Several first-rate and second-rate generals bravely rushed directly towards Zhang Liao.

However, after just one round of fighting, two first-rate generals and three second-rate generals fell off their horses.

The people around were all terrified when they saw this. Let alone giving them ten thousand gold, even if they were given a hundred thousand gold, they would not dare to go any further. After all, no matter how much gold it was, they had to live to spend it.

Seeing Zhang Liao rushing towards him, no one around him tried to stop him. Moreover, behind Zhang Liao, there were more than 1,000 Eighteen Riders of Yanyun. With the support of the desperate battle, each of the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun performed at the level of a first-rate general.

Zhou Yu had no choice but to draw his sword and fight Zhang Liao.

However, after only twenty rounds, the sword in Zhou Yu's hand was knocked out.

Zhang Liao laughed triumphantly upon seeing this, and swung the yellow dragon sickle in his hand towards Zhou Yu's neck.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu closed his eyes, waiting for death to come.

At this moment, a Fang Tian Hua Ji suddenly appeared and directly interrupted the attack of the Huanglong hook sickle.

Zhang Liao was shocked by the force from above and took a few steps back, looking at the person who was blocking him.

"Cao Zhang, I didn't expect you to come too."

"Haha, Zhang Liao, do you think we don't know that you have left Zhijiang? I have been following you all the way."

Seeing Cao Zhang coming, Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief and then quickly retreated. He had no intention of getting involved in such a battle.

"Come on, let me see what kind of abilities you have, Zhang Liao."

Through the fight just now, Cao Zhang knew clearly in his heart that he could not defeat Zhang Liao, and of course Zhang Liao could not defeat him either.

Now he could only delay time. Either Zhou Yu would succeed in attacking the city, or Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren would get rid of Zhang He and come to help him.

However, Cao Zhang's plan was good, but he forgot Gan Ning's current situation.

Of the eighteen black shadows, only four were left, and Gan Ning already had some wounds on his body. Although they were not very deep, they would still affect his combat effectiveness.

At this time, the Red Blood Sword in Huang Zhong's hand had turned golden, which could be said to be the strongest state of the Red Blood Sword.

In this state, Huang Zhong can only last for an hour at most.

Seeing Huang Zhong rushing towards him, Gan Ning immediately commanded his few shadows to go forward and stop him.

However, these black shadows were all defeated by Huang Zhong before they could even last three rounds.

In desperation, Gan Ning could only rush forward and fight with Huang Zhong.

After Zhang He blocked Cao Ren's sword, Xiahou Yuan's attack arrived before he had time to catch his breath.

In desperation, Zhang He could only swing his sword to resist again.

This tremendous force knocked Zhang He off his horse.

After falling to the ground, Zhang He was about to stand up when he saw Cao Ren rushing in front of him.

Zhang He simply didn't stand up and just rolled on the ground.

Although the action was not very elegant, it at least managed to dodge Cao Ren's attack.

Zhang He finally stood up from the ground and saw Xiahou Yuan rushing towards him.

Just then, a voice came from the side.

"Don't panic, Junyi. I'm here to help you!"

As Huang Zhong's voice fell, the golden Red Blood Sword directly blocked the sword in Xiahou Yuan's hand.

"Huang Zhong?"

Seeing Huang Zhong appear, Xiahou Yuan hurriedly looked towards Gan Ning's original position.

There was no trace of Gan Ning at this time.

"No need to look for him, he's already gone."

After Gan Ning saw that his shadow was dealt with by Huang Zhong, he gritted his teeth and rushed towards Huang Zhong.

However, how could Gan Ning, who had no skill bonus, be a match for Huang Zhong? After only twenty rounds, Gan Ning had another wound on his body.

Seeing this, Gan Ning no longer hesitated and turned around and ran.

Huang Zhong was about to chase after him immediately, but he happened to see Zhang He being knocked to the ground. He knew in his heart that if he aimed at Gan Ning with the Eight Treasures Kirin Bow, Gan Ning would definitely die, but Zhang He would also die at the same time.

After hesitating for a while, Huang Zhong had no choice but to give up and watch Gan Ning leave, while he helped Zhang He block the fatal blow.

When Zhou Yu, who was in the rear, saw Gan Ning running back with injuries, he realized that Gan Ning had lost.

Gan Ning's departure instantly turned them from being in an advantageous position into a disadvantageous position.

"Ming Jin retreats the troops."

Zhou Yu made the decision directly.

Seeing Cao's army retreat, Huang Zhong and his men did not pursue them. There were still two days left before the four-day mission, and they needed to save more manpower.

After Cao's army completely left the battlefield, Huang Zhong and his men did not go back to rest, but began to command all the people on the battlefield to gather the corpses together and pour the kerosene that they had saved on the corpses.

Looking at the fire all over the sky, Huang Zhong sighed. He was a little confused. It is said that the dead are the greatest, so how could Sun Jian be so mean as to think of using the dead.

Miao Moqing, who was in the camp, frowned immediately upon seeing this.

Without the corpse, her effectiveness would be greatly reduced. It seemed that Huang Zhong and the others had found some of her weaknesses.

However, this solution would hurt one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of one's own men. Burning corpses would seriously disturb the soldiers' minds, and would also waste a large amount of kerosene, which is a powerful weapon for defending the city. Without kerosene, there would only be things like stones and logs.

The frontline army.

The entire battle situation in Huarong, as well as detailed intelligence, has fallen into Gu Rubing's hands.

At this time, Gu Rubing, Zhuge Liang, and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu who had just returned were all in the county magistrate's mansion.

After seeing the information, Zhang Fei muttered to himself.

"Brother, I told you at the beginning that we couldn't let those two guys go back, but you didn't listen. Now something has happened. If it weren't for Cao Zhang, Wen Yuan would have come back with Zhou Yu's head."

Hearing Zhang Fei's words, Guan Yu immediately stopped Zhang Fei and glared at him.

"The decision to release him was made by the Prime Minister and my elder brother. Do you think you are more capable than the Prime Minister and my elder brother?"

Although Guan Yu didn't know why he had to let the people go, he knew that as long as it was a joint decision made by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, it would not be wrong.
