"It's a pity that Zhang Fei's guy ran away."

Gan Ning rubbed the place where he was hit by Zhangba Snake Spear and said with some regret.

"Zhang Fei is known as the enemy of ten thousand people. If he wants to escape, it will not be easy for you to keep him."

Yang Ling smiled and comforted Gan Ning, but she felt quite sorry in her heart.

Twice in succession, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were killed and defeated, but failed to capture them.

Fortunately, Wang Wei and Huo Jun were killed, and Guan Yu's daughter was captured.

"Zhou Cang, please pass on the order to hold a big banquet tonight to commend Xingba, Zhongye and the others for their contributions."

Yang Ling smiled.

"Thank you, General!"

Gan Ning and others accepted the order.

…

Jiangling.

Pier outside the city.

Liu Bei, Liu Qi, Zhuge Liang and others are waiting anxiously.

At this moment, the sharp-eyed leader of the Baijie soldiers, Chen Dao, pointed to the river in the distance and said,

"Lord, military advisor, look!"

Following the direction he pointed, everyone saw Guan Yu's warship heading this way!

When the fleet docked at the shore, Guan Yu took Guan Ping and Guan Xing out of the ship.

"Second brother, are you okay?"

Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward, held Guan Yu's hand, and expressed concern.

"Brother, I'm fine."

Guan Yu shook his head and said with a guilty look on his face,

"I lost to Cao Jun and lost Lankou Ju. Please punish me, brother!"

"I've heard everything about the war. I can't blame you for this. Just be fine."

Liu Bei sighed,

"It's just a pity that Yinping's niece fell into the hands of Cao Jun."

"My lord and General Yunchang don't have to worry, Yang Ling is not a cold-blooded person. With his character, he will definitely take good care of his screen niece."

Jian Yong comforted him.

Elderly people who followed Liu Bei, such as Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Jian Yong, Sun Qian, etc., had spent some time with Yang Ling and understood him quite well.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu did not speak, but their eyes were full of worry.

Of course they knew that Yang Ling would not treat Guan Yinping badly.

But what he is afraid of is that Yang Ling is lustful by nature. If Guan Yinping is taken care of on the bed, then Guan Yu's face will be...

"First uncle, second uncle, Sister Yinping is in danger, we can't just sit idly by and watch."

The woman who spoke had a delicate face and a petite figure.

She is Zhang Fei's daughter, Zhang Xingcai.

Zhang Xingcai and Guan Yinping grew up together. Although they are not biological sisters, they are better than biological sisters.

When she heard that Guan Yinping fell into Yang Ling's hands, she was a little anxious.

"Why don't you let me lead the people to rescue Sister Yinping."

Zhang Xingcai proactively suggested.

"My uncle appreciates niece Xingcai's kindness."

Guan Yu smiled bitterly and said,

"But going to rescue your sister Yinping is extremely dangerous. Let's make other plans."

"Yes, niece Xingcai, please don't cause us any more trouble."

Liu Bei gave Zhang Xingcai a few perfunctory words, and then led Guan Yu and his party into Jiangling City.

As soon as everyone sat down in the governor's house and their buttocks were still warm, they saw a soldier hurried in.

"Lord, Zhou Mu, something bad has happened!"

"The news just came from Dangyang that General Zhang's troops were defeated by Cao's army."

"General Zhang was seriously injured and unconscious. Generals Wang Wei and Huo Jun were killed on the spot!"

As soon as these words came out, the hall was shocked!

No one could have imagined that not long after Guan Yu was defeated, Zhang Fei would also be defeated by Cao Jun!

What shocked them even more was that Wang Wei and Huo Jun were both killed, and Zhang Fei was also seriously injured!

"How is this possible?"

Liu Bei stood up suddenly, stared at the soldier and said,

"Although the third brother was a little reckless, he didn't lose so miserably. What happened?"

"According to the spies, Cao Jun used some kind of extremely lethal weapon..."

The soldier described to everyone how he set the oil tank on fire.

Liu Bei and others were shocked when they heard that the fire oil tank could spit out fire dragons.

They have never heard of such a terrifying weapon!

"It must be Yang Ling!"

Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and said solemnly,

"Only he can develop such a weapon."

Liu Bei and Guan Yu did not say a word, but they also agreed in their hearts.

Lingyue Repeating Crossbow, black powder, three-eyed blunderbuss, artillery... these things are already extremely terrifying, but I didn't expect Cao Jun to bring out the powerful Fierce Oil Tank now!

How will we fight this battle in the future?

Liu Bei took out a long breath, forced himself to calm down, and said to Zhuge Liang,

"Military advisor, the top priority is to send people to support Yide, what do you think?"

"My lord, what you said makes sense."

Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said to Guan Yu,

"Please also ask General Yun Chang to take a trip to Dangyang to support the three generals."

"If possible, hold on to Dangyang and buy time for the Lord."

"If it's impossible, take the three generals and retreat to Jiangling City as soon as possible!"

Although he had just evacuated from Lankou to Jiangling City and had not had time to rest, Guan Yu, who was worried about his third brother Zhang Fei, still nodded heavily.

"Okay, I'll lead the troops right away!"

He immediately stood up, called Guan Ping and Guan Xing, and walked out.

Looking at Guan Yu's leaving figure, Zhuge Liang frowned slightly and looked towards Liu Bei and Liu Qi.

"I wonder if my lord and Zhou Mu sent someone to contact Jiangdong?"

"The messenger has set out a few days ago. Counting the days, he should have arrived in Jiangdong."

Liu Bei replied.

"That's good."

Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Kong Ming, I'm afraid the rats from Jiangdong are unwilling to join forces with us."

Liu Qi was a little worried.

Yang Ling took the imperial seal one step ahead of time and prevented Sun Jian from dying in a hail of arrows.

But after Sun Jian and Sun Ce occupied Jiangdong, they also fought many fierce battles with Huang Zu of Jiangxia County.

The relationship between the two parties cannot be said to be life-and-death enemies, but it can also be regarded as incompatible!

"As long as Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and others are smart people, they should understand the meaning of lips dying and teeth cold."

Zhuge Liang smiled faintly.
