"Now that Lao Xuande is here, I will go out and report it to my elder brother."
Gongsun Yue nodded when he heard Liu Bei's affirmative answer. He believed that the combined efforts of both parties could definitely defeat Zhao Yun.
"It's time to work."
After Gongsun Yue finished speaking, he turned and walked out.
"Brother, do you really want to do this?"
After Gongsun Yue left, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came behind Liu Bei.
"Second brother, Xianhe hasn't returned yet, and I don't know what Yuan Shu's attitude is. Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it's better to take the initiative and win this battle first."
Liu Bei looked at Gongsun Yue who was walking away, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
"If that's the case, then I'll go down and prepare."
Looking at Liu Bei's determined eyes, Guan Yu couldn't help but nodded, then turned around and walked down the city wall.
"Brother, let me be the vanguard later and watch me kill them all without leaving any trace behind."
Unlike Guan Yu's perseverance, Zhang Fei's eyes were full of blood and passion.
"Okay, then we will see the third brother show off his power."
Looking at Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's eyes were full of energy.
Zhang Fei was born to fight. The bigger the scene and the more critical the situation, the more terrifying power he can unleash.
"Brother, just watch."
The three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang were ready, and the 1,500 elite soldiers in the city and Gongsun Zan's 500 remaining troops were also ready to attack, waiting for Gongsun Zan.
After Gongsun Yue returned to Gongsun Zan's camp, Gongsun Zan did not hesitate and directly ordered Yan Gang to lead all the elite cavalry forward, while he led 14,500 people to carry the people of the two counties towards Zhangwu County.
.
"Report, Gongsun Zan's troops were found in the distance, heading towards Zhangwucheng."
A scout came to Zhao Yun and reported to him the military information he had just discovered.
"Is Gongsun Zan here? Zilong, hurry up and attack with your entire army. Kill him without leaving a single piece of armor behind."
When he heard that Gongsun Zan was found, Gao Lan stood up abruptly, with a flash of excitement in his eyes.
"Senior brother, although Gongsun Zan has appeared, don't forget that the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang are inside Zhang Wu. If we attack rashly, we will be in danger if we are killed by Zhang Wu's enemies and attacked from both sides."
Zhao Yun's words made Gao Lan break into a cold sweat. Guan and Zhang were unparalleled in combat power. If it was as Zhao Yun said, it would be really dangerous.
Zhao Yun also frowned and had no idea for the time being.
"Zilong, actually sometimes we don't have to think so much."
Looking into the distance, Gao Lan's eyes suddenly turned, and an idea came to his mind.
"Senior brother? Do you have any countermeasures?"
Looking at Gao Lan, the corners of Zhao Yun's mouth also turned up.
"Haha, have you forgotten what our mission is?"
After hearing Gao Lan's words, a flash of inspiration flashed in Zhao Yun's mind.
"I see, senior brother, Jiang is still old and hot. It doesn't matter if Gongsun Zan and the others enter Zhangwu. As long as we guard the passage to the north, there will be nothing he can do despite all his schemes."
Gao Lan nodded, his junior brother was really strong, he could understand everything with just a little bit.
"Well, in this case, the situation of being surrounded by enemies from both sides will be solved. Everyone is involved. Let go of the passage and let Gongsun Zan enter Zhangwu."
Zhao Yun's military order was issued. Although the cavalrymen were a little confused, they acted as usual.
As Gongsun Zan's army came closer and closer, the imagined galloping horses never came, and Zhao Yun's camp remained as quiet as ever.
"Brother, what's going on?"
The further Gongsun walked, the more frightened he became. He didn't understand why this was happening.
"I don't know either."
Gongsun Zan also shook his head, and then looked at Yan Gang beside him.
"Lord, it is very likely that the enemy has guessed our plan. In order to avoid being attacked on both sides, we did not send troops."
Yan Gang also frowned and refused to eat the big fish brought to his door. This Zhao Yun was really calm.
"Then what should we do? The place where they are stationed is the only way to go north. If we can't defeat them now, we will be detained here. By the time Yan Liang and the others arrive, it will be too late."
Hearing Yan Gang's words, Gongsun Yue was sweating profusely.
"There's no point in rushing. Now we can only take one step at a time and see what happens next. Let's go to Zhangwucheng first."
At the critical moment, Gongsun Zan's decisiveness as a superior was shown. Since there was no way out, let's go to the city and rest first.
"Brother, this Zhao Yun is so disappointed that he has turned into a coward. I'm really angry at this."
Zhang Fei looked at Gongsun Zan in the distance and was very anxious. He had gathered all his energy and punched the empty space. The feeling of having nowhere to put his efforts was very annoying.
"Second brother, stop being angry and impatient."
Guan Yu stood at the top of the city, and the breeze made his long beard dance wildly, but the fire from his eyes proved that he was also very angry.
"Never underestimate anyone. Governor Gongsun's strategy is just the simplest strategy to lure the enemy. The only bet in this strategy is that Zhao Yun is greedy for power and rushes in and sends troops to attack. But now it seems that he is very patient."
Liu Bei looked at Zhao Yun's camp. It would be wonderful if such a general could be under his command, but it is a pity that he belongs to Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongdao.
"In that case, let's open the door to welcome Governor Gongsun."
Gongsun Zan's large army marched slowly and finally arrived outside Zhangwu City.
The door creaked open, and Liu Bei led the two brothers out to greet him.
Gongsun Zan's army entered the city, and countless accompanying people also poured into Zhangwu City.
"Xuande, thank you for your work."
This time it actually all depended on Liu Bei. If he hadn't come to Zhang Wu in advance, he might have been surrounded by Zhao Yun now.
"My lord, what did you say? It's just your duty to eat the emperor's salary and be loyal to the emperor."
Liu Bei saluted Gongsun Zan. Although it was not a master-servant gift, they still had a superior-subordinate relationship.
"Xuande, I don't know how long Zhang Wu's food can last."
Looking at the refugees everywhere, Gongsun Zan couldn't help but have a flash of worry in his eyes.
"Sir, if we only supply the army, there will be no problem for three months. But with so many refugees, we can only support it for one month at most, and even twenty days will be a problem."
"I'm tired and want to rest."
Hearing Liu Bei say that food and grass could only be supplied for twenty days, Gongsun Zan couldn't help but feel tired.
"Then my subordinate will take his leave."
Liu Bei silently exited the house. When he saw Zhang Fei and Guan Yu waiting outside, he winked and led them out of the government office.
After several days of long journey, Jian Yong finally arrived in Xindu City.
"Sir, there is a man named Jian Yong outside asking to see you. He said that he came from Zhangwu and the person he represents is Liu Bei."
The guards quietly came to Yuan Shu and brought in the news of Jian Yong's request for an audience.
"Jian Yong? Liu Bei?"
After hearing what Konwei said, Yuan Shu stood up suddenly.
