Lu Bu was defeated and returned to Dang County to defend, while Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Wu Lan, Zhang Ren and others also returned to Jiangzhou.

Liu Zhang said happily, "Okay! OK! In this battle, Liu Yu's powerful general Lu Bu was defeated, and 20,000 were annihilated, which had already defeated him. Liu Yu's Qin army's morale was greatly reduced!"

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong looked at each other and smiled, as if responding to Liu Zhang.

In fact, in Liu Zhang's eyes, Zhang Fei and others defeated Lu Bu and killed 20,000 Qin troops was a victory, but in Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong's eyes, Zhang Fei and others did not achieve the original goal. Instead, their own casualties were almost the same as those of the Qin troops. It was not victory but a great defeat.

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong's original purpose was to kill Lu Bu and annihilate all nearly 40,000 Qin troops under Lu Bu's command, and recover Dang County, so as to prevent the Qin army from threatening Badong County from Dang County and at the same time to attack the morale of the Qin army.

However, if none of the strategic goals to be achieved is achieved, can this be considered a victory for two people who claim to be genius?

Leaving Liu Zhang's place, he returned to Liu Bei's headquarters camp.

Pang Tongcai laughed and said, "Who could have thought that Lu Bu, who has always been brave but not wise, suddenly became smart. He actually realized the ambush strategy. If he failed, he would become a head-on fight!"

Zhuge Liang also shook his head and sighed, but unfortunately he and Pang Tong were not on the spot, otherwise Lu Bu would still be trapped. But who could have expected that he or Pang Tong would have to take the lead against a mere brave but unscrupulous Lu Bu, who had to be in charge of the command?

"Helpless, helpless! It seems that everyone under the command of Qin Marquis Liu Yu should not be underestimated. In the Battle of Chibi, looking at his actions before and after, he knew that he was a more dangerous person than Cao Cao." Zhuge Liang said.

At the meeting, Liu Bei frowned, "Is Liu Yu's army of more than 200,000 is more difficult than Cao Cao's army of more than 700,000?" Anyway, Liu Bei was not convinced at all. He had never been convinced by Liu Yu for many years, and I don't know how many times he dreamed that Liu Yu was defeated hard.

In Liu Bei's view, Cao Cao had more than 700,000 troops in the Battle of Red Cliff, and the coalition forces were only more than 100,000. Zhuge Liang borrowed arrows from the straw boat, borrowed the southeast wind, and Pang Tong's calculations, so that Cao Cao was defeated. Now, Liu Yu has nearly 260,000 troops, and his Jingshu coalition with Liu Zhang also has more than 200,000 troops, which is not much less than Liu Yu. He should be more confident than the Battle of Red Cliff.

Liu Bei was unwilling to admit from the bottom of his heart how powerful Liu Yu was. His biggest wish was to be able to step on Liu Yu and prove that he was better than Liu Yu.

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong looked at each other again. No matter what they thought in their hearts, they would not have developed the ambition of others in front of Liu Bei and destroyed their own majesty. The necessary confidence must be established.

Pang Tong smiled and said, "Don't worry, lord, just Liu Yu, the 200,000-strong ragtag is not as good as Cao Cao's army of more than 700,000. Kong Ming and I will definitely be able to come up with a strange plan to defeat him and help him seize Yizhou."

Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang also nodded with a smile, giving Liu Bei confidence, which really greatly increased Liu Bei's confidence and his heart's pressure decreased sharply.

The Qin army, the nearly 260,000 main force of Liu Yu, had entered Ba County a few days ago, and the 30,000 iron cavalry of the forward Gan Ning, had approached Jiangzhou City. The opportunity to kill Lu Bu and recover Dang County was lost. We must fight with all our strength to fight against Liu Yu's main force of the Qin army.

Zhuge Liang said unfortunately, "There are famous scholars such as Guo Jia and Jia Xu in the Qin army. Although the vanguard Gan Ning only has 30,000, they are all cavalrymen, and they are less than ten miles away from the main force of the central army, so it is not easy to plan."

Pang Tong smiled and said, "There is no problem for a small defeat."

Zhuge Liang also nodded with a smile.

So the two looked at Liu Bei again.

Liu Bei said, "Bi doesn't understand military affairs, and only hopes that the two military advisors will make full decisions."

As the Qin army approached, Liu Bei and Liu Zhang's Jingshu coalition forces were urgent and prepared to fight.

Gan Ning led 30,000 cavalry as vanguards and finally came to Liu Bei and Liu Zhang in front of the Jingshu Alliance camp.

To be honest, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and even Pang De were far more suitable than Gan Ning, but when Liu Yu recruited Gan Ning, he agreed that when he attacked Liu Zhang, Gan Ning would be the vanguard all the way, and he would never go back on his word. Besides, Gan Ning's martial arts are not bad, and the main army is close to the rear, so there is no need to worry about anything.

"Liu Zhang, rats, I, Gan Ning, have arrived, come out to die!" Gan Ning shouted at the Jingshu Alliance camp.

In a moment, many soldiers from the Jingshu Alliance, including Zhang Ren, Wu Lan, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, etc.

The troops left the camp, while Liu Bei, Liu Zhang, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others sat down dozens of meters behind the camp gate to watch the battle.

Zhang Ren obviously knew Gan Ning. He pointed at Gan Ning and said, "Ganning thief, you didn't take your life in the past, but now he is following Liu Yu's thief invading his lord Shu. I deserve to die!"

After saying that, Zhang Ren came out and took Gan Ning directly.

Gan Ning snorted coldly and came out to face Zhang Ren. The two fought fiercely.

Zhang Ren is the most powerful general under Liu Zhang's command. He has good martial arts skills, and at least he has no less strength than Guan Hai. However, Guan Hai is not as good as Gan Ning, and he is much worse than Gan Ning.

After only one hundred rounds of battle, Zhang Ren was defeated and fled.

At the viewing point of the Jingshu Alliance Army Camp, Liu Zhang stood up suddenly, shocked and angry, "How did Zhang Ren lose to this Jin!"

Zhang Fei immediately wanted to fight, "I'll kill this and fuck you!"

Pang Tong stopped Zhang Fei from fighting and said, "Yide is arrogance, you are the most powerful general of our side. Gan Ning, who fought with Zhang Ren for more than a hundred rounds, is already exhausted, Guan Hai can win!"

So he ordered Guan Hai to go to war.

Guan Hai came out with a sword and took Gan Ning directly, "Thief, I Guan Hai is here to fight you!"

Gan Ning snorted coldly, "You use a knife too? Look at me killing you!"

Both of them used swords. After fighting with horses, they fought fiercely. The attack between swords was like two powerful men fighting for power.

Gan Ning's courage was originally better than Guan Hai, but Gan Ning had fought with Zhang Ren for a hundred rounds and consumed a lot of strength. Now, he is fighting with Guan Hai again, but he is half inferior to Guan Hai.

The two fought for more than a hundred rounds, but Gan Ning gradually lost his support.

Helplessly, Gan Ning had to lose and flee.

"Don't leave, rats!" Guan Hai took the opportunity to chase and kill.

"Kill!" Tens of thousands of Jingshu coalition forces rushed over.

"Retreat! Retreat!" Gan Ning was not indulged in fighting and directly ordered a retreat.

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, the talented people of Tianzong, had planned to defeat the Qin army before the main forces of the two armies confronted each other. How could Gan Ning be defeated so easily?

Although the 30,000 Qin army vanguards led by Gan Ning were all cavalry, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong had long ambushed a group of 5,000 Jingshu coalition soldiers. According to the instructions of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, the 30,000 Qin cavalry were defeated, and 20,000 of them were left to be defeated, and only the last 10,000 Qin cavalry were intercepted.

"Kill!" Five thousand soldiers of the Jingshu Alliance suddenly rushed out from both sides of the roads, and indeed intercepted 10,000 of the Qin cavalry.

In the rear, tens of thousands of Jingshu coalition forces were chasing each other, killing ten thousand Qin cavalry in chaos.

Gan Ning was shocked when he discovered the situation in the rear, "No, the army of Jingshu actually wanted to intercept and kill 10,000 cavalrymen in the rear."

Originally, Gan Ning was extremely unwilling to retreat before he was killed. Now he could not watch the 10,000 cavalry in his rear were eaten. Without hesitation, Gan Ning led another 20,000 Qin cavalry back, trying to rescue the 10,000 Qin cavalry who were intercepted.
