    Zhang Feiyuan stared, saw it was Zhao Yun, leaped his horse, raised his spear, and shouted loudly.

    "Don't leave, the Tang thief!!!"

    Zhao Yun was furious, with a cold face, and raised his gun to greet him.  Zhang Fei slapped his horse to greet him, his face was as ferocious as a beast, and the two flew at each other.  Zhao Yun fought with all his strength, while Zhang Fei attacked furiously.  The light of the gun and the shadow of the spear were astonishingly fast, and the sound of weapons clashing was endless.  Zhao Yun used both the Youlong Fantian spear technique and Tai Chi moves at the same time.  Zhang Fei unleashed the Eight Desolations God-Destroying Spear technique.  The two of them tried their best to kill each other, and the killing was like the sky falling apart.  The Shu soldiers were dumbfounded.  The two of them fought for thirty or forty times, with no distinction between victory and defeat.  During the main fight, Shu soldiers advanced from behind, attacking from both sides.  Zhao Yun did not dare to neglect, and suddenly fired out a gun. On the gentian's silver gun, the silver light rose like a sea, and a giant silver dragon leaped into the sky.  Seeing this, Zhang Fei roared loudly, as if thunder fell from the snake spear, a black thunder leopard full of destructive aura rushed out.  The two weapons were suddenly exchanged.  Wind and dust filled the sky, and the violent aftermath of the wind and dust forced the surrounding Shu troops to retreat.  Zhao Yun rushed out of the wind and dust on Pegasus. He turned to a Shu army formation alone. All the Shu soldiers did not dare to move forward. Zhao Yun let his horse look south and walked away. He flew and killed all the way, and then opened a avenue and walked away.  Behind him, Wang Ping led dozens of generals and majors to rush towards him. When they saw Zhao Yun, they all cheered up and chased after him.  Zhao Yun ran all the way and came to a bridge. He looked back and saw that Wang Ping was about to catch up.  Zhao Yun's sword eyes narrowed, and he suddenly reined in his horse and shouted loudly, then rushed straight into the Shu generals' formation. Where the silver spears started, they all fell off their horses and retreated.  Zhao Yun killed the generals and retreated, then returned.  The scattered Shu generals gathered together. Wang Ping looked unwilling and angry and shouted loudly.  

    "Zhao Zilong dares to retreat from us all alone! We can pursue them together!!!"

    Wang Ping shouted, and dozens of Shu generals came back to chase him.  When Zhao Yun saw this, he became furious and roared angrily.

    "In the past, when Ma Meng raised one hundred thousand soldiers from Xiliang, I regarded it as child's play. Why would a rat care about his life!!!"

    After Zhao Yun finished drinking, he raised his spear and turned his horse, and then charged into the group of Shu generals. He beat several people to death with whips and stabbed five or six people to death with spears.  When Wang Ping saw this, his face turned pale with fright. Considering his young age, this fright scared him so much that he couldn't dare to pursue him.  Zhao Yun rushed to drive away the Shu generals, then returned to his horse and rode slowly.  At this time, the Shu generals behind him chased him four or five times, but were all killed by Zhao Yun alone.  Zhao Yun is brave and has the courage to break the sky.  The Shu generals were all intimidated, and finally Zhang Fei led his army to kill them.  Zhao Yun had just retreated, and the jade lion walked like the wind in the night light. The Shu soldiers were unable to catch up, and there was a roar like a lion's roar.  Many Shu generals thought that Zhao Yun was coming to kill him again, and several of them were so frightened that they fell off their horses on the spot.

    Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were watching the battle from a high place.  Liu Bei saw that Zhao Yun was acting alone, walking freely in the stronghold of his army camp as if he were in an uninhabited land.  There were more than ten thousand soldiers and horses, but they could not kill anyone. Instead, Zhao Yun killed dozens of soldiers, causing countless casualties among the soldiers.  When Liu Bei saw it, he sighed deeply, felt sad, and told Zhuge Liang.

    "Back then, Zhao Zilong led 800 dead men and killed 100,000 Xiliang soldiers. Sometimes I heard it, and I thought it was too true. Now I see him, single-handedly, entering the stronghold of our army, as if he was strolling in his own garden. Only then did I believe it.  Not only is this man superb in martial arts, he is also full of courage. If he is a general of the isolated Shu Kingdom, why should he be afraid of the heroes of the world?"

    When Zhuge Liang heard this, his expression darkened, he slowly closed his eyes and comforted Liu Bei.

    "My lord, don't worry too much. No matter how brave Zhao Zilong is, he is also the power of one man. When marching and fighting, general bravery is important, but strategy is the key to victory. Now that Zhao Zilong breaks into our stronghold at night, there must be movement in the other army. Lord  He also ordered the troops to be withdrawn and prepare their troops. "Liang made his own arrangements."

    When Liu Bei heard this, he knew that Zhuge Liang must have a plan. He was very happy, so he followed Zhuge Liang's words and ordered the sergeants on the left and right to beat the drums and withdraw the troops.  With the sound of the golden horn, the pursuers and horses quickly retreated.

    But Zhao Yun hurried back to the camp and met Xu Shu and a group of servants on the way.  Xu Shu dismounted and waited. When he saw Zhao Yun riding towards him, he bowed and praised him.

    "Zilong is worthy of the name of 'gentian'. Tonight, the soldiers of Shu were frightened by the killing spree. I am really willing to bow down, it's like seeing a god!!"

    When Zhao Yun heard this, he was humble, showed no arrogance, and only praised him.  So Zhao Yun and Xu Shu rode together and looked at the garrison in the army to catch up.  At this moment, a gust of wind and dust rolled ahead.  I saw Wen Han leading Zhang Liao and other generals to come in a hurry.  Wen Han saw Zhao Yun, Xu Shu and others and rushed to ask them.  Xu Shu hurriedly dismounted and knelt on the ground, saying he was guilty, and then told him about his visit to Sichuan Village last night.  After hearing this, Wenhan's expression changed continuously, he was angry and blamed himself.  Naturally, Xu Shu was angry because he acted hastily and almost lost one of his favorite generals.  As for self-blame, it was because I was too harsh on Xu Shu, which led to what happened.  Fortunately, Zhao Yun was not seriously injured, which further dampened the spirit of the Shu army.  Wen Han sighed and spoke to Xu Shu.

    "Yuan Zhi has always been meticulous in his actions, why is he so rash?"

    Xu Shu listened, but smiled but did not answer.Wenhan looked stunned, but Pang Tong, who was beside him at this time, smiled.

    "Haha. Since Yuan Zhi has a plan, how can he hide it? Why don't you tell him quickly!?"

    Hearing this, Wenhan's face lit up with joy and he looked anxiously at Xu Shu.  Xu Shu smiled brightly and nodded in response.  Wen Han was overjoyed and ordered his troops to retreat, gathering a group of civil and military officials to discuss matters in the tent.  After a while, everyone sat down in the tent.  Xu Shulun wore a brocade turban, a smile on his face, and exuded an aura of wisdom and wisdom as he attended.

    "Last night, I visited the other stronghold at night and noticed that the Shu army was divided into three strongholds. The first stronghold is on the left, and the terrain is steep, making it difficult to attack in a hurry. The first stronghold is on the right, and the terrain is flat, making it easy to attack. The middle stronghold is located at the entrance of the village, and it is very easy for an ambush.  "Zhuge Kongming is familiar with the generals and knows that he is good at using surprise troops. He will think that the generals will attack the left stronghold and then attack from the middle. But tonight, the generals will attack the right stronghold."

    Wenhan heard this and secretly praised it. Suddenly he became suspicious and asked Xu Shu.

    "That's so. Why did Yuan Zhi lead his army deep into the right stronghold of the other army last night? If so, wouldn't it be enough to scare the snake away? What if the other army defended it with heavy troops?"

    Hearing this, Xu Shu chuckled and replied.

    "Zhuge Liang is always cautious in his military use. I know this very well, so last night I taught Zilong to use a plan to explore the Youzhai. If Zhuge Liang knew this, he would think that I would send a surprise force to attack the Leftzhai. If my lord can do this, he will definitely win!!  "

    Xu Shu told the plan, and everyone was amazed when they heard Xu Shu thinking about it.  Pang Tong even smiled.

    "Haha. In my opinion, Yuan Zhi's wisdom is not inferior to that of Kong Ming and Tong. Tonight's battle will surely make Kong Ming surprised and regretful!"

    Wenhan heard Pang Tong say the same thing, and he was determined, so he followed Xu Shu's plan and made arrangements.  The generals took orders and retreated.  The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty rested first, waiting for the battle to begin tonight.

    But he said that Liu Bei had gathered all the civil and military personnel in the tent.  Zhuge Liang asked about what happened last night.  Wang Ping informed that in addition to Zhao Yun, there was a group of people following him last night. One of them, Wang Ping recognized, was Xu Yuanzhi, the Great Sima of the Western Tang Dynasty.  When Liu Bei heard Xu Shu's name, his expression kept changing, and he was very complicated.  Xu Shu was his military advisor at the beginning, and thanks to his advice, he was able to defeat Cao Ren's army and secure Xinye.  After Xu Shu left, he did not want to recommend Zhuge Liang to him.

    Liu Bei was well aware of Xu Shu's talent and learning, and also knew that he was a loyal and righteous man.  Later, when he heard that Xu Shu had defected to Wen Han's command, Liu Bei was also puzzled.  Furthermore, after much thought, Liu Bei guessed that Xu Shu might have heard the secret words between him and Yi Ji, and thus created a gap in their hearts.  Liu Bei regretted it too late and has always been worried about this matter.

    Liu Bei let out a long sigh full of melancholy and talked to everyone.

    "When Yuan Zhi entered the official position, he was loyal to Gu and tried his best in everything. Gu never expected that Yuan Zhi would be facing each other head-on. Things are unpredictable!"

    Zhang Fei didn't know that Liu Bei had betrayed Xu Shu in the past. When he heard this, he snorted coldly and said he was present.

    "Hmph! That Xu Yuanzhi is just a rat who is greedy for fame and fortune, why should the king care about him! Sooner or later, my little brother will capture him and plead guilty to the king!!"

    When Zhuge Liang heard this, his face was silent.  How could he not know what kind of person Xu Shu was, there must be something that should not be revealed to others.  Zhuge Liang thought for a while and looked at Liu Bei silently.  Liu Bei noticed that Zhuge Liang was looking at him and felt nervous. He quickly scolded Zhang Fei to cover up his panic.

    "Third brother, don't make mistakes!! If it weren't for Yuan Zhi's help, I would have been captured by Cao Ren's army and taken prisoner. How could he be like today!? What's more, the old thief Cao threatened Yuan Zhi's mother.  Yuan Zhi left because of his filial piety. Later, I heard that Wen Bufan had escorted Yuan Zhi's mother back to Hedong and kept her in his care.  Under his command, Yuan Zhi is worthy of his kindness, but if he meets him in the future, he should not be offended at all and should be treated with courtesy!"

    As soon as Liu Bei said this, all the civil and military officials sighed at Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness.  When Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei feeling a little sad, his heart tightened and he quickly spoke to comfort him.  Liu Bei shed tears when he thought about the past.  When everyone saw it, they were all moved.

    After a while, Liu Bei stopped crying and sighed worriedly again.

    "Yuan Zhi has the wisdom of heaven and earth. If he cooperates wholeheartedly and makes suggestions for Wen Han, I am afraid that our army will be in danger."

    When Zhuge Liang heard this, he chuckled and shook his head.  When Liu Bei saw this, his face lit up and he asked quickly.

    "Could it be that Kong Ming has a plan to deal with it?"

    Zhuge Liang bowed his hands and said in a solemn voice.

    "My lord, there is no need to worry too much. Xu Yuanzhi is very talented, and there are few people in the world who can rival him. But Liang is familiar with him, and his plans cannot be hidden from Liang. Xu Yuanzhi visited our stronghold last night, and he must have the intention to attack him.  "

    Before Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Zhang Fei felt anxious and opened his mouth to interrupt.

    ?"If this is the case, your Majesty can quickly deploy heavy troops to guard Youzhai as a precaution. The traitors from the Western Tang Dynasty will definitely attack Youzhai tonight!!"
