Everyone was stunned. Zhou Cang was stunned for a moment, and turned around and was about to order someone to prepare for a horse, ready to go to fight with Guan Yu. Fu Rong stepped forward and bowed.

"General, I don't think so."

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his murderous aura was full of murderous aura. "Do you want to disobey?"

Fu Rong's face was pale, his forehead was covered in sweat, and even his legs were cramped, but he still stood still and said in a voice: "If the general must go, please kill Rong's head first, so as not to face General Zuo."

Guan Yu raised his eyebrows lightly, stroking his beard and pondered without saying a word. Before Liu Bei left, he handed over Youzhou to him. If Youzhou was in trouble, he would be sorry for Liu Bei's instructions. Since the first year of Zhongping, he has been fighting against the Yellow Turbans, it has been sixteen or seventeen years since Liu Bei is over vain. This half of Youzhou is Liu Bei's only territory. If it is lost, Liu Bei will have no chance.

Before this, Liu Bei's several times of gaining land and losing land were related to his impulse. If he made a mistake this time because of the pursuit of Gan Ning, how could he face Liu Bei? It would be fine if Liu Bei himself was in Youzhou, even if he lost his hand, Youzhou would not collapse. Now Liu Bei is in Jizhou, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others are the same. He is the only one and Tian Yu in Youzhou. If something happens to an accident, Taishi Ci will definitely attack, and Tian Yu alone cannot support it.

Seeing Guan Yu hesitating, Fu Rong breathed a sigh of relief and rushed while the iron was hot, and said, "Ganning only has a hundred cavalry, from the water and land, and do whatever he wants. Our army has no ships, and even if we can block the Jiangdong Navy's ship, we cannot cross the river, and prevent Ganning from escaping from the west of the ditch. Moreover, this place is only sixty or seventy miles away from the Giant Horse Water. If Ganning succeeds, he will immediately flee south, even if the general leaves the camp now, he may not be able to catch up. What if Ganning is greedy and does not escape far away, but lurks around, or ambush the general, or attacks the camp at night, what?"

"How dare you?" Guan Yu snorted, but he felt a little uneasy. Fu Rong was right. It was already dark, and it was not easy to capture Gan Ning's traces. It would be fine if Gan Ning didn't leave but lurked nearby, that would be really dangerous. The baggage was destroyed and the morale of the army was severely damaged. If no one in the camp was scrupulous, maybe Gan Ning took advantage of the loophole again, and it would be too late to regret it.

This is likely to be part of Ganning's plan.

Guan Yu let out a sigh of relief, forced himself to feel depressed, accepted Fu Rong's suggestion, and ordered Fu Rong to take five hundred knights to welcome Tian Yu, asking him to bring some food and grass from Quanzhou. Quanzhou is only thirty or forty miles away, and Tian Yu sets off tomorrow at dawn, and will arrive at the latest at night, so the army will not lose food.

Seeing that Guan Yu had changed his mind, Fu Rong felt relieved and took the order and left.

Guan Yu summoned the generals to discuss matters, inform the situation, and ordered the battalions to close the camp gates and not to act without action, and not to give Gan Ning a chance to attack. He persisted for one day and waited for Tian Yu to arrive, and the problem of supplies would naturally be solved. He also sent scouts to guard the camp around the camp to prevent Gan Ning from sneaking into the vicinity.

The generals returned to the camp, and the drums and horns sounded long. All the camp gates were closed. The soldiers on duty were fully armed, with spears in their hands and bows at their waists, and they walked around the camp without any danger.

Bu Zhi stood on the boat and looked at Guan Yu's camp from afar, feeling a little nervous.

He was worried that Gan Ning was not greedy enough, so he robbed Guan Yu's baggage and then went to Guan Yu's camp. During the previous discussion, he had already vaguely reminded Gan Ning to be cautious, but now he was worried that it would be too obscure, and Gan Ning might understand his meaning.

Of course, it is more likely that he would pretend not to understand. Gan Ning was unruly. Except for King Wu, few people could control him. Mi Fang was transferred by King Wu because he could not check and balance Gan Ning, but Gan Ning followed his fate. Mi Fang's sister was the wife of the King of Wu, and she couldn't do anything about Gan Ning. He, the newly appointed deputy scholar, dared not count too much. It might be better if his niece entered the Palace of King Wu, but there was no such thing as yet.

But he can only do this. He cannot speak too harshly for the first time to cooperate, which will arouse Gan Ning's disgust. Let Gan Ning suffer a little and teach a lesson. Only in the future can he understand his painstaking efforts and take his suggestions seriously.

"Are you ready?" Bu Zhi turned around and asked.

Yang Hong walked quickly. "General, you're ready. Thirty Mengchong, two thousand elite soldiers, and five main fighting ships can set off at any time. They are equipped with the farthest-range stone throwing machine and giant crossbow. As long as the general gives the order, an attack can be launched in one drum."

Bu Zhi nodded. Yang Hong was an old subordinate of Gan Ning and was loyal to Yang Hong. He was most relieved to him. "Remember, it was a feint attack to restrain Guan Yu's attention, not to break the camp." Bu Zhi raised his chin and signaled Guan Yu's camp in the distance. "Guan Yu's camp was strictly guarded, and it was difficult to succeed with our troops alone. Even if we succeed, the cost would be very high, and the next task would be unable to be carried out."

"I understand." Yang Hong pointed hard at Bu Zhi, and his eyes were full of admiration. This scholar's familiarity with military affairs exceeded his expectations. "God Gan has a general to assist him, and he will have many opportunities to make contributions in the future."

Bu Zhi smiled. The reason why Yang Hong had such an idea means that he had initially received recognition from the navy soldiers. This is a good omen. When one day Gan Ning can follow this, he will truly gain a foothold in the navy.

"Let the soldiers hurry up and rest and prepare for the battle at any time. You can also go eat something, and I will call you if you have any questions."

"Here." Yang Hong responded and turned around.

Outside Guan Yu camp, there were more than 500 steps.

Gan Ning was carrying a double halberd, with iron chains wrapped around her waist, a ring knife hanging, and a bow in her hand, standing quietly among a lush cluster of weeds.

The two scouts sent by Guan Yu fell at his feet. Each of them was hit by at least two arrows and died before they even had time to issue an alarm. However, other secret whistles may have discovered abnormalities. They just heard a few bird calls, which was probably the way to communicate between secret whistles. They didn't know how to answer, so they could only remain silent to avoid exposing their location.

There was movement in the camp in the distance. The soldiers on the camp tower shook the torches. More torches gathered over to illuminate the camp bars. You could vaguely see the people gathering in the camp. The war drums were also ringing, changing rhythm, and it was a warning drum. Two teams of knights rushed out of the passage between the camps, guarding left and right, ready to attack at any time. More than ten knights rushed in front, holding torches, and covering each other.

Gan Ning snorted: "I didn't expect this man to have some knowledge and guard it so strictly." He raised his hand and waved it. "Retreat!"

His subordinates didn't say much, turned around and left. They knew that Gan Ning never needed others to cut off the rear for him. He himself was the best candidate for the rear for him. Advance was the first advance and retreat was the last retreat.

Gan Ning and others retreated. When the patrol knights arrived, they only saw two robes and messy footprints lying in the grass, but there was no sign of the enemy. They did not continue to move forward, re-arrange people on duty, and then retreated.

Because Guan Yu did not go out to pursue the camp, Gan Ning did not go to Jumashui, and bypassed Guan Yu's camp and returned to the navy. As soon as he reached the waterside, he met the navy soldiers who were ambushing here and preparing to launch an attack on Guan Yu's camp. Gan Ning was very satisfied with the arrangements of Bu Zhi. With these people, even if he was impulsive and trapped in Guan Yu's camp, as long as he knew the tactfulness and retreated in time, he would have the chance to come out again. If he really didn't know how to advance and retreat and was hurt, he would not be able to blame Bu Zhi and could only blame himself.

Gan Ning returned to the boat and met Bu Zhi. Seeing that Bu Zhi was fully armed and ready to fight at any time, he quickly took a step forward and thanked him.

"Thank you for your hard work in Zishan."

Bu Zhi smiled and replied. "The governor succeeded in the surprise attack and escaped. I have prepared a banquet to celebrate the governor's merits."

"Okay, I also want to drink and chat with Zishan and say. Zishan, I'm going to tell you, although this attack was successful, Guan Yu's reaction was beyond my expectations. He was so humiliated that he did not send troops to pursue him, but just guarded the camp, which was really not like his style."

Bu Zhi was very curious, but he still asked Gan Ning for instructions first, and withdrew the soldiers who were receiving them first, and the entire army withdrew from Gushui and entered the sea area to avoid being counterattacked by Guan Yu. Gan Ning happily agreed and immediately issued an order and set sail.

Bu Zhi dragged Guan Yu for a day and was not far from the estuary of the sea. He walked down the water in just one hour. The sea breeze was cool and the heat of the day blew away. The two of them sat on the flying hut of the building boat, looking at the stars, talking about the war, and commanding the building boat to the east.

Gradually, the two of them were sleepy and fell asleep on the Feilu. The boat was blowing in the wind, and the sea water slapped the boat's belly, cooperating with the sound of the navigator adjusting the course, like a lullaby, eliminating the fatigue of the past few days.

When Guan Yu learned that the Jiangdong Navy had retreated, he secretly rejoiced. Several secret whistles outside the camp were killed, which shows that Fu Rong's guess was unfortunate, Gan Ning did not take the opportunity to escape, but lurked outside the camp. If he had not listened to Fu Rong's advice at that time and led his personal guards out of the camp to pursue him, it would not only be useless but also make Gan Ning successfully attacked again, and the losses would be great.

This son is very useful. It is easy to get a thousand troops, but it is difficult to find a general. Although he was careless and lost a lot of supplies, he also found a talent that could be used. It can be said that he lost the east corner and won the muddle of the earth, which is an unexpected joy.

The next morning, Guan Yu went out to inspect the camp himself, checked the marks left by Gan Ning, and took his personal guards to the beach to check the situation. He found that the Jiangdong Navy had disappeared, and felt sad for a moment. He sent a scout to inquire along the coastline, and then ordered the withdrawal of troops, return to Quanzhou to rest and replenish the baggage. On the way, he met Tian Yu, who was coming to pick him up, and exchanged the situation, especially what happened last night, and praised Fu Rong a few words.

Although Fu Rong was a little embarrassed, Tian Yu was even more surprised. Guan Yu was famous for his conceit. This time he took the initiative to praise others and admitted that he had made mistakes. However, Guan Yu had a great influence on Liu Bei. After Guan Yu's recommendation, Fu Rong's future journey would be much smoother. As a village party, he was naturally happy for Fu Rong.
