not good!

Lu Bu's heart sank, and he quickly urged the red rabbit horse to gallop towards the military camp.

When he came to the camp gate, the scene he saw in front of him shocked him!

I saw a mess in the camp, with Yuan Jun's corpses everywhere. In addition, there were countless tents burning!

What happened?

Lu Bu and Zhang Liao looked at each other, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes.

He hurriedly searched the camp, and within a short time he found Yuan Shu, Liu Bei and others.

"Zhou Mu, what happened?!"

Lu Bu couldn't help but ask.

Yuan Shu's armor was all crooked, his face was black with fire, and he looked very embarrassed!

Hearing Lu Bu's question, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

"Cao's army just... came to attack the camp!"

"What?"

Lu Bu was stunned again!

No wonder I didn’t see Gan Ning, Huang Zhong and other fierce generals when I went to Cao’s camp just now. Together with them, they also attacked the camp!

Yuan Shu and others were waiting for news from Lu Bu, and they did not expect this at all.

So when Cao Jun invaded the camp, they couldn't react at all.

Fortunately, Liu Bei reacted quickly and immediately organized troops with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others to try to resist Cao's army.

However, those Yang Ling sent to attack the camp were all fierce generals like Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun!

Gan Ning held a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, like a murderous god coming down to earth, charging and killing in Yuan's army camp!

Huang Zhong's arrows were all shot. Even in the dark, he was able to accurately kill Yuan Jun's low-level generals!

Not to mention Zhao Yun, he killed countless people in the army with just one spear!

Fortunately, Zhang Xun and Ji Ling received the news and rushed back in time.

After paying a heavy price, Cao Jun was finally driven back.

But before retreating, Gan Ning and others set a fire in Yuan's camp, and most of the food and grass stored in the camp were burned!

After hearing what happened, Lu Bu was stunned.

I was planning to yell at Ji Ling and Zhang Xun, but I couldn't say it!

"Marquis Wen, you went to attack the camp. What was the result?"

Yuan Shu looked at Lu Bu with a gloomy expression.

Lu Bu hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth.

"Senior Cao's soldiers are all equipped with advanced crossbows. My men and horses suffered heavy casualties..."

"Excuse!"

Yuan Shu couldn't help but scolded,

"The main force of Cao's army has come to attack the camp, but Marquis Wen still can't take it! I don't know why you are so embarrassed, claiming to be the best general in the world!"

Lu Bu was not a good-tempered person. When he heard this, he became furious.

He raised Fang Tian's painted halberd on the spot and wanted to stab him with the halberd!

Fortunately, Liu Bei was at the scene, and he quickly stopped between the two of them and tried to persuade them.

"Zhou Mu and Wen Hou, we are all our own people. Don't let Yang Ling take advantage of us by fighting with each other!"

Hearing what he said, the two of them fell silent, but their expressions were still angry.

Yuan Shu snorted coldly,

"Uncle Liu Huang, what do you think we should do now?"

It is ridiculous to say that among the three parties of Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei, there is not even a single counselor who is good at planning.

Therefore, I could only choose the general from the shortest and let Liu Bei make plans.

At this time, Liu Bei missed the days when Yang Ling assisted him very much!

He composed himself and said slowly,

"Cao's army is powerful, and Yang Ling is cunning. Now that we have lost two games in a row, it is really unfavorable to continue fighting. In my opinion, we might as well retreat to Shouchun!"

"Shouchun City is high and deep, and there is enough food and fodder for the army for several years. We only need to stay put and wait until brother Benchu ​​and the Cao thieves go to war, then this will be our opportunity!"

Everyone nodded when they heard what he said, thinking that what he said made sense.

When Cao Jun attacked the camp tonight, Gan Ning targeted Yuan Shu and charged left and right in the camp.

If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hadn't intercepted him, Yuan Shu would have been chopped by Gan Ning!

At this moment, Yuan Shu was still a little shocked. Hearing Liu Bei's words, he nodded and said without thinking,

"What Uncle Liu Huang said makes sense. Send me the military order to pack your bags and withdraw your troops immediately!"



Cao Jun's side.

When Gan Ning and Zhao Yun returned triumphantly, Yang Ling was extremely happy and arranged a late-night snack to entertain them.

A night of silence.

Early the next morning.

Yang Ling was asleep when Cao Ang hurried over and woke him up.

"Teacher, it's not good!"

Yang Ling, who was sleepy, looked up at Cao Ang, yawned and said,

"What happened? Could it be that Yuan Shu and the others came here?"

"No, they ran away!"

"Ran!"

Yang Ling was startled.

"Yes, the spies reported this morning that our army attacked the camp last night and caused Yuan Shu a lot of losses. As a result, he took his troops and horses and retreated overnight!"

Cao Ang explained.

Yang Ling also didn't expect that this Yuan Shu would run away without even saying hello!

"Forget it, just run away. Master, don't disturb my sleep."

Yang Ling stretched.

Cao Ang suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.

"Teacher, Yuan Shu has been running Shouchun for a long time, and the city is tall and strong. They want to defend the city, and we are afraid that we cannot take it."

"Don't worry, your teacher, I already expected them to run away."

Yang Ling turned over and continued to fall asleep.

Seeing that he was so confident, Cao Ang had no choice but to get up and leave.



Two days later, Yuan Shu returned to Shouchun City with his army safe and sound.

Before they had time to rest, they received news that Cao Jun was marching this way.

He was panicked and hurriedly invited Liu Bei, Lu Bu and others to the lobby to discuss political affairs.

"Don't worry, Zhou Mu, we have nearly 100,000 troops in total. No matter how cunning Yang Ling is, there is no way he can break in."

Lu Bu smiled.

"What Marquis Wen said is absolutely true."

Liu Bei also nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Guan Yu on the side suddenly said,

"But just sticking to it is not an option."

"Oh? Does General Yun Chang have any other suggestions?"

Yuan Shu looked towards Guan Yu.

"Look, Yang Ling is extremely treacherous. Maybe he really has a way to break through the city. We can deploy a team of troops outside the city in case of emergencies."

Guan Yu said slowly.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Yes, if you arrange a force outside the city, you can attack Cao's army when they are not prepared and capture them!

"Second brother is indeed smart!"

Liu Bei praised.

Seeing that everyone agreed with Guan Yu's proposal, Yuan Shu twirled his beard and said,

"But in your opinion, who is more appropriate to send?"

"I'm willing to go!"

Guan Yu took the initiative to invite Ying.

This time it was a calculation without any intention. Once successful, not only can Cao's army be repulsed, but Yang Ling and Cao Ang are also very likely to be captured and killed.

It's a good time to become famous and gain military exploits!

"Okay, if that's the case, then..."

Before Yuan Shu finished speaking, Lu Bu stood up beside him.

"Zhou Mu, General Yun Chang, let me go!"
