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

Chapter 545 Massacre another city!
Gu Rubing smiled when he heard this.

"Third brother, we had a five-day agreement at that time. The sneak attack in the middle was at most a small trick. It would not hurt Cao Cao. But if you really killed Cao Ren and Cao Zhang, one is his son and the other is his clan relative, wouldn't Cao Cao fight us to the death?"

Zhuge Liang, standing aside, also smiled and nodded.

"We didn't have much time to prepare for the war. Although the number of famous generals in the four-party coalition is not as many as ours, their overall strength is stronger than ours. General Zhang is curious about why we were able to hold on for so long."

Zhang Fei looked at Zhuge Liang in confusion and asked curiously, "Isn't it because of the military advisor's Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation?"

"Haha, if the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation is so useful, why do we need so many people? Can't we just charge into Cao's camp and destroy them?"

Zhuge smiled, and then the smile on his face gradually faded.

"The real reason is that the four coalition forces each have their own thoughts. Sun Jian obeys Cao Cao on the surface, but that is a fierce tiger and Cao Cao has to guard against it. Moreover, Sun Jian does not intend to contribute anything and is just watching the fun from the sidelines. Although I don't know why, I can feel that he has his own purpose, which is to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."

"As for Cao Cao, he didn't really want to get rid of all of us in Nanjun. He just wanted to drive us out of Jingzhou. Cao Cao didn't have such a big appetite to swallow us in one bite."

Gu Rubing nodded. This was how he analyzed it at the beginning.

The four coalition forces each have their own thoughts, and no one is willing to give their all. This is also an opportunity for Gu Rubing. As long as Zhao Yun's injuries can be completely recovered, Nanjun will remain completely in his hands.

"Once we kill Cao Cao's son and relatives, Cao Cao will give up everything and attack us fiercely. He will also order Sun Jian to go all out. Facing the four-way coalition forces and the crazy attack, it won't take long before the city walls collapse. By then, we will be even more unable to defend and will have no choice but to withdraw from the battlefield in Jingzhou."

Zhuge Liang analyzed everything in detail. Zhang Fei also understood what Gu Rubing and Zhuge Liang meant. He smiled awkwardly and said nothing more.

After Zhuge Liang said this, he looked at the map.

"My lord, Cao Cao has sent too many people to the battlefield in the rear. We need to put some pressure on Cao Cao from the front, otherwise the pressure in the rear will be too great."

Gu Rubing thought so too.

Soon, the city gate opened, and Zhang Ren and Wei Yan led 50,000 cavalry and rushed directly into Cao Cao's camp.

Cao Cao sent Xu Chu, Huang Gai and Cheng Pu to fight the two.

This is the final lineup that the four-party coalition can put forward.

As soon as the two sides fought, an arrow was shot at Huang Gai.

Huang Gai waved the double whips in his hands and looked at the person who shot the arrows, who was none other than Taishi Ci.

"Boy, I ordered you to hide in the back and shoot arrows from behind. This is not a manly act. Do you dare to come out and fight me for three hundred rounds?"

Taishi Ci sneered, opened the city gate and rushed towards Huang Gai.

When Wei Yan faced Xu Chu, he knew as soon as they started fighting that he was no match for Xu Chu.

His White Tiger Sun-Devouring Sword Technique was completely ignored in front of Xu Chu, and it was quite easy for Xu Chu to resist.

"Try to take my move!"

Wei Yan was so angry at being looked down upon by Xu Chu that he used his last move, White Tiger Devouring the Sun, and his attack power increased by 600% in an instant.

Xu Chu was originally resisting with ease.

But after feeling Wei Yan's move, Xu Chu finally looked Wei Yan in the face.

As Xu Chu became serious, Wei Yan's expression suddenly changed.

With the bonus of the tiger maniac characteristic, Xu Chu became more and more courageous, and the chaotic cloak sword technique he used also forced Wei Yan to retreat again and again.

Half an hour later, Xu Chu finally reached the final state of Tiger Maniac, increasing all attributes by 400%, and Wei Yan could no longer resist.

After only three rounds, a wound appeared on Wei Yan's body, and even his armor could not block Xu Chu's sword.

Wei Yan turned around and left without a second thought until he realized that he was no match for his opponent.

Seeing this, Gu Rubing quickly sounded the call to withdraw his troops.

Now Gu Rubing has basically sent out all of his famous generals. Among the remaining generals, no one is really a match for Xu Chu. If Ma Chao or Huang Zhong were there, maybe he could still do well.

"Okay, my lord, after this one time, our effect has been achieved. Cao Cao is a little too relaxed, it's time to make him nervous."

Zhuge Liang didn't care about Wei Yan's failure.

Gu Rubing nodded.

Cao Cao returned to the tent and called Sun Jian and the other two over.

"Three of you, we have sent too many people to the rear battlefield. The camp is a bit empty. Liu Bei's random surprise attack made us send out all the famous generals. Sun Zhou Mu, don't you have the Gu tribe? Haven't they gone to support? Why hasn't it ended yet?"

"Prime Minister, I will go and urge them now, and at the same time ask Zhou Yu to come back to strengthen the strength of our camp."

Sun Jian knew that he could not delay any longer as Cao Cao obviously had little patience left.

In just one day, the order reached Zhou Yu.

When Zhou Yu heard that he was actually leaving, he frowned instantly.

Now, I am the only one who can stop Miao Moqing here. Once I leave, Miao Moqing will really take action and turn these three counties into dead cities.

But it was difficult to disobey Sun Jian's orders.

Looking at Gan Ning who was still injured, Zhou Yu immediately had an idea.

"Xingba, the lord needs help, go back and give some support. You are injured now anyway, so you can't help much."

"Grand Commander, why can't I help? I didn't..."

"I said you can't help me, so go back now."

Zhou Yu's face didn't look good at this time either.

Gan Ning had a very good relationship with Zhou Yu in private, so he naturally knew that Zhou Yu was really angry. He didn't dare to say anything and turned around and left Huarong.

"General Zhou, according to the Lord's instructions, he has urged me to speed up. Judging from the current situation, it is impossible for you to capture Huarong. You might as well give up and leave Huarong to me. I guarantee that I can capture Huarong in half a day."

You took down Huarong? You slaughtered Huarong.

Zhou Yu frowned and said in a deep voice: "The situation on the front line is not that serious. Besides, Gan Ning has already gone back, right? Why are you in such a hurry? If the clan leader is in a hurry, you can go back and tell the lord, leave this to me, and you go to support the front line."

Miao Moqing looked at Zhou Yu, but didn't say anything. Instead, she returned to her seat.

Early the next morning.

Zhou Yu led his men to besiege Huarong again.

This is also the last day Miao Moqing gives herself.

If he couldn't take Huarong, then the entire Huarong would really become a dead city.

This time, because of Gan Ning's absence, Zhou Yu had to take the field.

Zhou Yu went straight to Huang Zhong.

Just as Huang Zhong was curious, although Zhou Yu was also a famous general, his combat effectiveness was still much weaker than that of real generals like them. Even if he really wanted to go into the battlefield, he should have gone after someone weaker like Xu Rong. Why would he go after him?

Zhou Yu swung his sword and chopped at Huang Zhong's red blood knife.

Huang Zhong was about to continue his attack after he had stopped him when Zhou Yu suddenly whispered, "There is no one at the South Gate. Hurry and leave."

"What? Are you giving in to us? Do you think we need you to give in?"

Huang Zhong was very disdainful of Zhou Yu's words.

"Do you think I want to let you go? If it weren't for the people of Huarong, do you think I would let you go?"

Zhou Yu didn't want to talk too much with Huang Zhong. After all, he was surrounded by people from Cao's army. If someone heard their conversation and told Cao Cao about it, he would be in trouble. "People? What do you mean?"

"It's meaningless. Only if you leave, the people will be safe. If you don't leave, the people will suffer. You decide for yourself. You still have one day."

After saying this, Zhou Yu immediately sounded the call to call back his troops.

After everyone returned to the camp, Miao Moqing walked straight forward.

"General Zhou, you have failed again this time. Is it time for me to take action?"

"Wait a moment."

Zhou Yu immediately stopped Miao Moqing.

"Isn't General Zhou honest?"

"Of course not, but I remember that our agreement was for two days. Isn't there still half a day left? What if we wait for half a day?"

Miao Moqing looked at Zhou Yu, hesitated for a moment, and nodded, "I hope the Grand Commander can remember what he said."

Zhou Yu looked at Huarong City in the distance and didn't know what to do for a moment. If Huang Zhong didn't compromise, did he really have to let Miao Moqing take action?

Huang Zhong returned to the city and told everyone what Zhou Yu had said to him.

"Retreat? Where are we going to retreat to? The lord ordered us to hold out for four days, and it's only the third day. Are we really going to leave?"

Zhang Liao was obviously reluctant to retreat.

Xu Rong on the side thought about Dangyang's situation and his face didn't look very good.

"How about we retreat to Zhijiang? It's only one day away, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

Hearing these words coming from Xu Rong's mouth, Zhang Liao looked at Xu Rong with confusion.

Zhang He on the side didn't say a word. He was also hesitating whether to retreat.

Huang Zhong was silent for a long time.

"General Xu, if you are afraid, just go by yourself and don't take us with you!"

Zhang Liao looked at Xu Rong with displeasure.

"I am not the kind of person who is afraid of death. Since Zhou Yu is on the battlefield and is risking his life to tell us secretly, there must be a reason, and it must be something he cannot tell us."

"What a shame! They are enemies. What if this is their plan?"

Huang Zhong frowned as he listened to what the two said.

"Okay, stop arguing. Let's retreat, but we won't go to Zhijiang. We'll go to guard the only way to Zhijiang. There's still a day left, so it doesn't matter where you go."

After hearing this, several people nodded.

Soon, Huang Zhong organized a large army and quietly evacuated Huarong in the middle of the night.

As soon as the sky was getting light, Zhou Yu looked towards Huarong nervously.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he discovered that there were no more military flags with the word "Lie" on the city wall.

When Zhou Yu was about to send people into the city, the scene before him made him red-eyed.

A green gas slowly surrounded the entire Huarong.

Zhou Yu was very familiar with this scene.

This is the method used by the Gu tribe.

Zhou Yu quickly found Miao Moqing.

"Chief, what are you doing? Huang Zhong and his men have already left Huarong. Now Huarong is ours. Are you still going to massacre the city?"

"What else? General Zhou, what are you talking about?"

Miao Moqing sneered and looked at Zhou Yu in front of him with red eyes.

"Having captured the clan leader, have you forgotten our agreement? In two days, I have captured Huarong. Now Huarong is ours. You don't need to take action anymore."

"General Zhou, you may have forgotten that the lord ordered me to take over the three cities. I have carried out our agreement, but I have not taken any action for two days. Is it a problem that it is the third day? I am just following the lord's orders."

It was Sun Jian's order again.

Zhou Yu is now doubting whether following Sun Jian is the right choice.

Today, Sun Jian and the entire Yangzhou seem to have become something he no longer recognizes.

"Then Chief Patriarch, are you going to continue and turn all the cities into hell? A hell where there is not a single living person?"

"Then I don't care. I'm just following the Lord's orders. If you're not satisfied, you can go and tell the Lord directly."

"I……"

Zhou Yu even wanted to curse at this moment, but when he thought of Miao Moqing's strange methods, he finally endured it.

Screams were heard again in Huarong City.

In order to avoid listening, Zhou Yu hid in the tent and looked at the map.

After a long time, there was finally no movement outside. Zhou Yu clenched his fists and looked at Zhijiang ahead. He was unwilling to see all the people die like this.

Even Zhou Yu was wondering, what was the point of him still being here? Just one Miao Moqing was enough.

Zhou Yu has already planned to leave here and return to the front line.

Not far from Huarong City, Huang Zhong and his men also heard screams from within the city.

Huang Zhong's face suddenly changed when he saw Huarong City was surrounded by green poisonous gas.

"Zhou Yu, you actually used such means to massacre the city."

Huang Zhong clenched his fists, veins bulged, and a faint murderous aura emanated from his body. The soldiers around Huang Zhong felt the temperature drop a little.

"It seems that this is what Zhou Yu was talking about. Does Zhou Yu not want us to die?"

"How can this be?"

In response to Xu Rong's words, Zhang Liao simply gave a helpless smile. He didn't think that Zhou Yu was so kind.

"Forget it, now is not the time to talk about this. Everyone, get ready. I'm afraid they will be here soon."

Everyone nodded immediately.

However, this time, Huang Zhong guessed wrong.

Because problems have already arisen in Zhou Yu's camp.

"I'll leave the affairs here to the clan leader. I should also return to the front line."

Zhou Yu was feeling extremely depressed at this time. He was a little disappointed with Sun Jian's decision. He couldn't muster any fighting spirit at all.

"Are you going?"

Cao Ren looked at Zhou Yu with confusion. After all, Zhou Yu was a famous general, and his passing was a big loss for them.
