"Enjoyed father, please forgive me for being incompetent. Zhao Guochang personally guarded the Xihe County. The 5,000 troops of my troops failed to occupy Xihe County!" Lu Bu, who was running south, found the defeated Ding Yuan's army with a low morale when passing Tunliu, and quickly led a thousand cavalry under his command to join him.

"Oh, I can't blame Fengxian! I despise Zhao Guochang. We have made no achievements in our journey south this time. Now that more than half of our soldiers are losing their troops, they have no intention of fighting, and they have no desire to fight. Several generals and the soldiers are shouting to return to Jinyang!" Ding Yuan smiled bitterly and helped Lu Bu up and informed Lu Bu in detail about the experience of the army heading south.

"Entertainment Father, I'm afraid we can't go back to Jinyang..." Lu Bu said hesitantly. He really didn't want to hit Ding Yuan hard again, but this information was related to the lives of all the troops heading south, so he had to bite the bullet and say it.

"What news did Fengxian get?" Ding Yuan was shocked when he heard this, and nervously grabbed Lu Bu's arm and asked.

"When we set out to leave Jinyang, the 100,000 yellow turbans who had killed Huguan from Jizhou also rushed north, occupying Yangyi and Yuci counties, and had already captured Jinyang City. Now, I am afraid that all the four northern counties will have yellow flags!" Lu Bu said bitterly, "The 'Eight Strong Generals' who followed me to attack Pingzhou County, Xihe, are now unaware of their lives and death, and the two thousand men and horses under him are gone." Lu Bu was a little scared after saying that.

"The road ahead was blocked and the road behind was cut off. What should we do now?!" Ding Yuan gathered in the central army's tent to discuss matters and informed everyone of what Lu Bu said.

When the generals heard that Jinyang was occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, their future path was broken, and they were all panicked. They were worried about the whereabouts of their families in the city, and they had no idea for a moment.

"Zhao Xing personally guarded the west of Bingzhou, Huguan natural danger in the east, Yellow Turban troops in the north, Shangdang soldiers in the south, but with the current plan, we can only send people to negotiate with Zhao Xing to find a way out!" Wang Kai, a counselor, saw that everyone was speechless, so he stood up and boldly said a suggestion that everyone wanted to say but dared not speak.

"Ye, you guy, you are the governor who treats you as a guest of honor on weekdays. Why do you help outsiders today?" When Lu Bu heard Wang Kai say he wanted to surrender and negotiate, he couldn't help but get angry. He lifted the halberd and was about to chop Wang Kai.

"Fengxian, don't hurt the military advisor." Ding Yuan stood up to stop him, "The military advisor is just to be honest, and he has no intention of understanding the enemy from abroad."

"Thank you for not killing the governor!" Wang Kai quickly turned around and sat down.

Just as everyone was frowning, the sentry outside the door suddenly reported in panic: "Report to the governor, 20,000 people from outside the county have already surrounded the four gates!"

"What, have you seen clearly who the troops are coming!" Ding Yuan was furious when he heard that he was surrounded and quickly asked his subordinates.

"It is really difficult to distinguish between night. I heard soldiers shouting, "The sky is dead, Huang Tian should stand up." The sentry who reported the message replied timidly, for fear that Ding Yuan would be killed alive if one of them could not answer well.

With a crisp "bang", a copper pot on the table in front of Ding Yuan was thrown away. Ding Yuan looked pale and looked like he was in a state of despair. He was so proud that he was the governor of a state.

"Fengxianwu'er, quickly call out the cavalry under his command, rushed out of Tunliu County at night, went south to Jiguan, and asked for help from the eastern capital Luoyang!" Ding Yuan panickedly ordered Lu Bu to go to Jiguan for reinforcements, but he actually forgot that the defense of Jiguan is now also led by Shangdang soldiers.

"As for your order!" Seeing that Ding Yuan asked him to leave first, Lu Bu turned around and quickly took out the bill and took a thousand men to withdraw from Tunliu City while it was dark.

Tian Feng, who was besieging the city, saw a group of cavalry rushing out, and did not stop them much. He only ordered the soldiers to give up a path and let Lu Bu run wild and run away.

"Tell me the order, and the soldiers of each sect should be strictly guarded. If you do not attack, just trap Ding Yuan!" Tian Feng said to Dian Wei and Wang Lu beside him.

In the night, Lu Bu, who had already been running aimlessly for a while, slowly stopped his horse and looked at the thousand cavalry behind him in a panic. For a moment, he didn't know what to say or do.

Looking back on his journey since joining the army, Lu Bu has never encountered a helpless time like Tonight. In the past, Gao Shun and the "Eight Strong Generals" were accompanied by Gao Shun, carrying unparalleled martial arts and riding skills, and he was always looked up to him wherever he went. But now, Gao Shun was under house arrest by Zhao Yun in disguise, and the "Eight Strong Generals" did not know the life and death of the "Eight Strong Generals". The adoptive father Ding Yuan was also in a dilemma and could not protect himself. All this was just because of Zhao Guochang who came out of nowhere!

Lu Bu wanted to hate Zhao Xing, but when he thought of Zhao Xing's words under Lishi City and Zhao Yun's advice in front of Daling City, Lu Bu couldn't hate him again. Zhao Yun was right, Ding Yuan was really not a wise ruler, otherwise he wouldn't have come to this situation today. But thinking of Zhao Xing's young face and his style of doing things both righteous and evil, Lu Bu felt a thrill in his heart. It was not easy to follow Zhao Xing.

Lu Bu, who was thinking about it, couldn't think of any good idea because he had no high-speaking party around him, so he could only give up his thoughts in his heart and stagger towards Jiguan. Since he had no goal or direction, he would follow Ding Yuan's instructions and take one step at a time.

On the morning of the next day, Ding Yuan stood at the top of the city and looked at the 20,000 "Yellow Turban Moth Thief" surrounded by four gates, but he was not very anxious. He didn't know the depth of the Yellow Turban last night, but today he saw only about 20,000. Ding Yuan felt that more than 10,000 county soldiers under his command could easily deal with it, so he asked someone to call Wang He, Li Feng, Liu He and Han Wei to his side.

"Wang He, I ordered you to lead two thousand soldiers out of the East Gate to clear out the Yellow Turban Moth Thief outside the East Gate!"

"Li Feng, I ordered you to lead two thousand soldiers out of the North Gate and clear out the Yellow Turban Moth Thief outside the North Gate!"

"Liu He, I ordered you to lead two thousand soldiers out of the west gate to clear out the Yellow Turban Moth Thief outside the west gate!"

"Han Wei, I'll order you to lead two thousand soldiers out of the South Gate to clear out the Yellow Turban Moth Thief outside the South Gate!"

Ding Yuan gave four orders in one breath, which looked imposing and majestic, but in fact it was unattainable. If Zhao Xing was present, he would immediately scold Ding Yuan as a pig head and violated a military taboo!

Why is Ding Yuan's order stupid? First, Ding Yuan's combat intention is unclear, and his subordinates are not sure whether it is a breakthrough or annihilation battle. Second, whether it is a breakthrough or annihilation battle, they should concentrate their superior forces, win more and eat away the opponent with a mouthful of mouthfulness, and do not divide their troops into a rash manner. Third, if Ding Yuan wants to defend and wait for assistance, he should not take the initiative to go out of the city to fight.
