"Although Yang Youji is one-eyed and is still an impersonator of ancient people, his archery skills are indeed above Zhong, and he has archery skills comparable to Yang Youji. Zhong did not expect that Tao Shang's command had such a archery expert, which was too conceited."

Huang Zhong did not shirk responsibility, and although he looked as if he was ashen, he simply admitted his mistake.

The civil and military officials in Jingxiang were shocked again, and all of them were uproar and terrified.

Liu Biao had already woken up from the shock and his eyebrows were narrowed. He would rather Huang Zhong be stubborn than die than admit Yang Youji's archery technique.

In that case, he could also explain that it was Huang Zhong's temporary failure that would be defeated by that nameless man, not Huang Zhong's skills were really inferior to others.

At the moment, Huang Zhong was so mean, but in front of the soldiers, he calmly admitted that his opponent's exquisite archery skills were exquisite. Wouldn't it confirm the fact that he failed to challenge?

Liu Biaoyuan wanted to take advantage of Huang Zhong's challenge to slash Tao's morale and encourage his morale. In this way, wouldn't it be like shooting himself in the foot?

"Claypot, pottery, how many trump cards do you have hidden, how many strange people and strange people are there under your command..."

Liu Biao's eyes looked at the top of Wancheng City from afar, and his eyes were filled with deep suspicion and disgust.

At the beginning of Wancheng City, there was already thunderous joy.

After a moment of shock, the Tao soldiers who were watching the battle on the city wall cheered and excited, and were surprised by Yang Youji's miraculous performance.

"I didn't expect... I didn't expect that Yangyouji really had such extraordinary archery skills. The lord's ability to recognize people is really..."

Looking at Zhang Xiu, who was looking at the pottery merchant, had an unprecedented surprise in his eyes, and he sighed deeply.

Not only Zhang Xiu, but also the other civil and military soldiers, were all sighing at the pottery merchant. They were deeply impressed by the pottery merchant's ability to identify people.

The Taoist merchant smiled but said nothing, stood with his hands behind his back, calm and confident, as if this result was as expected.

"Yan Yuji, Yang Yuji, fortunately you didn't disappoint me. I'm really curious. Just one-eyed, how did you practice this world-famous archery technique..." Tao Shang was relieved in his heart.

With the attention of everyone, Yang Youji, who was competing for victory, rode his horse and returned to the city with his head held high.

The suspension bridge was lowered, the city gate was wide open, and the spirit of Yangyouji calmly walked into Wancheng.

At this moment, many curious soldiers had gathered on both sides of the city gate, and their eyes were no longer questioned. They all had deep respect for this sharpshooter.

"Yan Youji, do a good job, it's worth the trust I have in you." Tao Shang also went down to the city to greet him, looking happy.

"The lord is too much, Huang Zhong's archery skills are great, and he is a bit lucky to win in the end." Facing the lord Tao Shang, Yang Youji was very aware of it and immediately restrained his pride.

The Tao Shang nodded slightly, smiled and patted his shoulder, adding a little more appreciation to him.

"Win means winning, you're so humble." Fan Kuai smiled and patted him, "Brother, your archery skills are so damn good. Old Fan, I usually admire my lord alone, and today you become the second person. I think we will call you the one-eyed bow god in the future."

Fan Kuai had good intentions and wanted to give Yang Youji the name of "Bow God". Who would have thought that he could not control his mouth, so he added the word "one-eye" casually.

Yangyu was basically happy, and when he heard the word "one-eyed", he suddenly became embarrassed.

"Cough cough--" Tao Shang coughed a few times to remind him.

Fan Kuai was rough-minded and slow to react. He didn't notice the potter's reminder, and still laughed foolishly, saying the words "one-eyed bow god" were endless.

But Mulan couldn't stand it anymore, so she kicked him hard according to his butt, cursing: "Silly, will you praise others? The bow god is just the bow god, what are you doing with two more words?"

Seeing that the lord and the mistress were both protecting him, Yang Youji felt moved and the embarrassment disappeared. He bowed and smiled faintly, "I am used to it. It's no big deal. Don't get angry."

Fan Kuai then realized that his face suddenly turned red. It was his turn to become embarrassed. He had to scratch his head and smiled silly: "I said to support brothers. Lao Fan, I am a rough man, and I have no heart to speak. Don't take it to your heart. Actually, I don't want to laugh at you for one-eyed... No, no, I mean, there is nothing wrong with your one-eyed one-eyed, isn't it just that you have one-eyed eyes..."

The more Fan Kuai said, the less he was, the more he was. It was basically fine, but he became embarrassed when he said it.

"Lord, although today's victory is better, it only hurts Liu Biao's face and does not hurt his roots. I think he will set up a large army and attack Wancheng. We must prepare for a fierce battle as soon as possible." Huo Qubing finally brought the sentence back to the main topic.

But Tao Shang looked south, a trace of weirdness flashed in his eyes, and he sneered: "Don't worry, Liu Biao doesn't have this opportunity."

Huo Qubing was stunned, and his eyes suddenly showed suspicion. Obviously, he had already secretly set up a plan to withdraw his troops after hearing what Tao Shang said.

Like Huo Qubing, all the generals were all strange, but they could not guess the mystery behind Tao Shang's words.

Only Chen Ping looked at each other with Tao Shang, and a knowing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

...

Southeast of Wancheng, the Jingzhou Army Camp.

Teams of Jingzhou soldiers were driving out of the camp in a row and gathering towards Wancheng.

The camp, which had been continuously for several times, was mobilized to open the city to Wancheng.

In the central army's tent, Liu Biao was already covered in his body and was ready to go on battle personally to command the siege.

Huang Zhong's defeat in the fight aroused Liu Biao's anger. He decided not to play any conspiracy with the Tao merchant, and to force himself to capture Wancheng with his powerful troops.

"Tao Shang, the shame of the previous failure, I will wash the snow with you today..."

Liu Biao tightened his armor and held the sword in his hand tightly. The old eyes showed the rage of revenge, and he was ready to strode out of the tent.

"Report——" A scout rushed into the tent and bowed to Liu Biao. "Report to the lord, General Huang of Jiangxia urgently reported that Sun Ce from Jiangdong had 30,000 troops to attack our Jingzhou. Our army was defeated in succession. Now that the lord has been besieged, General Huang asked the lord to send troops to reinforce. If it was late, Xiaxia would not be able to defend it."

Rumble!

Liu Biao's body shook violently, his face changed in horror. He felt that a thunder thunder struck his head in the sunny day and during the day.

Kuai Yue, Cai Mao, and even the veteran Huang Zhong all changed their colors.

No one expected that Sun Ce would not attack sooner or later, but would launch a large-scale attack on Jingzhou at this time.

This Xiakou was surrounded and the situation was in danger. If Xiakou was lost, Sun Ce's army would advance westward to Jiangling, and he could go directly to Jiangling, along the Han River, and even more to Xiangyang.

Xiakou, Xiangyang, and Jiangling are the most heart-warming places in Jingzhou. One move can move the whole body. If one of these three places is in danger, the entire Jingzhou will be in danger.

Bang!

Liu Biao slapped his fist and gritted his teeth and cursed: "Why did Sun Ce, this child, offend me at this critical moment? It's hateful!"

"This must be the lobbyist who sent the pottery merchant to persuade Sun Ce to lure him to take the opportunity to attack our Jingzhou so as to resolve the trap of Wancheng for him. This pottery merchant had already made such a move, alas..."

Kuai Yue, who had realized the truth, immediately saw the truth clearly, shook his head and sighed, with a helpless expression on his face.

Liu Biao's figure shook again, his face was changing unchangedly, and he kept silent.

"Lord, can we stop attacking Wancheng, and we will not avenge my second brother, the emperor will not take it away, and the Central Plains will not be taken away?" Cai Mao saw that Liu Biao was about to retreat and shouted unwillingly.

Liu Biao remained silent and looked at Kuai Yue again.

Kuai Yue sighed again: "Jingzhou is my foundation. You must not make any mistakes. The two harms are the least. Now you can only go back to your master to save Xiakou first. After pacifying the southern border, you will make the next plan."

"But……"

Cai Mao wanted to say something again, but Liu Biao raised his hand to interrupt him, and said calmly: "It makes sense for a different word. Xiakou Jiangling is the place where he is in his heart. If these two places are lost, even if Wancheng is captured, it will be more than worth the loss. If the order is passed on, the entire army will immediately decapitate the camp and return to the south."

Liu Bibi had already made up his mind, and Cai Mao had no choice but to endure the hatred of killing his brother for a while and swallowed the anger.

The soldiers in Jingzhou who had just set out the camp quickly received the order to withdraw the troops. They all returned to the camp with confusion and suspicion.

"Claypot, potter..."

Liu Biao immediately stood in the camp, looking in the direction of Wancheng from afar, and repeatedly muttering the name of the Taoist merchant, his deep eyes, and a hint of unwillingness and resentment flowed.

...

Wuguan.

Above the city of Guan, Cao Cao was stroking his short beard and staring at the empty space in front of Guan.

There, Xiahou Yuan was leading a thousand newly formed cavalry, running back and forth, training the method of cavalry warfare.

On the field of the Guannei school, the sound of killing was also shocking, and Xiahou Dun was also training his infantry soldiers to practice formations.

Appreciating the soldiers' sweat, Cao Cao's face gradually showed relief.

"The morale of the soldiers has recovered a lot. Just wait for Liu Biao and Tao Shang to kill both sides and suffer losses, we can go straight to Wancheng to clean up the brutality and seek revenge from the Tao Shang traitor." Cao Ang bowed his hands and smiled, looking eager to try.

Cao Cao nodded slightly and looked at Jia Xu beside him, "Wenhe, your plan to fight against two tigers is indeed a clever plan. If I can retake the Central Plains with this plan, you will be the first to do so."

"Sikong has been awarded too much." Jia Xu smiled faintly, but he was humble and had no intention of making contributions.

Although his smile was calm, it was faintly exuding a momentum of a bamboo in his heart, and everything was in control.

Cao Cao's eyes looked at the galloping iron cavalry outside the city again, which was the horses he used to re-arm the horses offered by the Mahan princes, and he had high hopes for it.

In his eyes, this cavalry will be his pioneer in placing the Central Plains again.

"Tell Miaocai that he should step up training. I will use his iron cavalry to flatten Nanyang and recapture Wancheng." Cao Cao waved his hand vigorously and ordered.

As soon as he finished speaking, his young nephew Cao Zhen rushed to Guancheng and said solemnly: "Report to the information that Nanyang has just sent back, Liu Biao led a large army to detach the camp two days ago and retreated to Xiangyang."
