After waiting for ten long breaths, there was still no movement around.

Xu You's heartbeat was as beating as a drum. He narrowed his eyes and paid attention to the surroundings while shouting softly: "Get away!"

The guards covered each other and slowly retreated. Just after walking three or five steps away, a huge rock a hundred steps away sounded softly, and a sharp arrow came out of the string and headed straight for Xu You. Xu You's eyes were like lightning, and he could see clearly, and he didn't move. A guard beside him raised a small shield to protect his face. "Bang!" With a muffled sound, the arrow shot the small shield in the middle, and the rest of his strength had not faded, which made the guard shake. Xu You stretched out his hand at the right time, held the guard with a slight tilt, but his heart couldn't help but tremble.

Judging from the strength, this is a three-stone crossbow with an effective range of about 120 steps. This distance is almost approaching the limit, and the opponent can still shoot so accurately. If he had not had his intuition, he stopped in time, and took a few steps back, almost entering a dead corner. This shooter would never fire. When he walked a few more steps forward, this crossbow arrow would not have time to react and take his life.

He is good at ambushing, good at shooting skills, and calm down. Such people can be called masters among the rangers. But the other party is not alone, there are at least four people, or even more, but these people are hiding well, without saying a word, just waiting for them to reveal their flaws.

After a single arrow shot, the surroundings returned to quiet again. Even the person who had just shot the arrow disappeared, as if he had never appeared before.

Xu You hesitated for a moment between retreating and attacking, and said loudly: "Xu Shu, Xu You in Nanyang is here, are you willing to give him a battle?"

"You are Xu You?" A voice with a little surprise sounded above my head.

"That's right." Xu You raised his head and smiled in his heart. His name was still valuable. The other party obviously knew him. The excitement that could not be concealed in his voice subconsciously exposed his location. Immediately afterwards, a few places around him heard rustling sounds, and several figures were faintly revealed. In a moment, Xu You determined the number and location of the people.

There were at least six people, and the nearest one hundred and ten steps, forming a half-encirclement, but the location was relatively scattered, which was conducive to ambush and war.

"Attack!" Xu You stopped shouting.

The two guards in the front held shields and rushed towards the position where the crossbow arrow had just been shot. One of the other guards raised the shield to cover the cover, and the other took the bow and took the arrow, and rushed forward. After a while, a man flashed out from behind the huge rock opposite and raised the crossbow to shoot. The guard holding the bow shot out the arrow in his hand first. The arrow fell by about a foot and shot on the stone beside the ambush. Mars splashed everywhere. Although the ambush was not injured, it was still affected, and the crossbow arrow shot out.

The guards with bows shot continuously, not giving the ambush a chance to breathe. They rushed to the front two guards climbed up and snatched them from left to right. Seeing that their companions were in danger, the other ambush could not hold back and showed their bodies and shot crossbow arrows in their hands. However, these guards were very fast and were good at using the terrain to cover themselves. Most of the arrows were shot empty, and the few arrows they shot failed to hit the vital point.

Under the cover of the two guards, Xu You squinted his eyes and stared at the trajectory of the crossbow arrows, quickly determined the position of the other party, and commanded the guards to counterattack. Both sides went back and forth, and the arrows were interspersed. Although the number was not large, they were very nervous. Close contact, the crossbow's firing speed became a disadvantage, and soon became a contest between the archers. Among the guards around Xu You, there were two rangers with good shooting skills, who successfully suppressed the other party.

After a guard rushed to the huge rock, the ambush put down his crossbow, pulled out his combat sword, and stood up to fight. The two swords and shields met each other, and the sound of Ding Ding Dangdang was endless. Xu You heard it sincerely and was very surprised. He knew the martial arts of the guard. It was difficult for ordinary soldiers to go to the front of him. Can this scout fight with him without a chance to win or lose?

Soon, another guard also arrived at the boulder and joined the battle circle. With the second World War, the winner was decided. Seeing that the situation was not good, the ambush roared and slashed the knife, regardless of the opponent's ring knife, and he also thrust his body hard. The moment the ring knife touched the body, "Puff!" Two muffled sounds, their long swords pierced the opponent's body. The ambush took advantage of the situation and hugged the opponent and rolled down from the boulder. The guards who surrounded the guards did not have time to catch their companions, and in a daze, two crossbow arrows shot at the same time, one in the chest and the other in the abdomen, and a muffled groan and fell to the ground.

Xu You saw it sincerely, was frightened, and heard a whistle undulating in the distance. He knew that reinforcements were coming from the other side, and he was in danger of being surrounded if he didn't leave. He did not dare to neglect and ordered a retreat.

"Xu You?" Xu Shu put down the paper in his hand and pinched his fingers, quite surprised.

"Yes." The scout who led his troops to ambush his troops lowered his head and gritted his teeth. "The old man looked like he was not an ordinary person at first sight. The guards under him cooperated very well, especially the two shooters, who shot quickly and accurately."

Xu Shu did not answer him. He was not unfamiliar with Xu You. This man was not only good at swordsmanship, but also had great reputation among the golfers. He had some servants who had followed him for many years, and they were not something these scouts could handle. He had already satisfied with the result of one death and three injuries.

What he wondered was how Xu You appeared here? Could it be that the main force led by Wu Yi was coming? It seems wrong. Large-scale operations cannot completely avoid the scouts' eyes and ears. If Wu Yi led the main force to arrive, Xu Huang would have received the news long ago.

Is it Xu You, the team? This is possible.

"No matter who he is, you should not expose yourself without confidence. The enemy is open and the enemy is secret. It is better to lose a son and not lose a power. This is the basic principle and you must remember it."

"Here." Shi was a little ashamed. If the brother hadn't been calm and afraid that Xu You would run away, this would not be the result today. It was just that the brother had already died bravely in battle, and he was unwilling to let him suffer shame, so he could only take responsibility by himself.

"Go down and rest, be careful in the future."

Shi Chang nodded again, bowed and retreated. Xu Shu then stood up, took a few guards, and headed straight for Huang Zhong's camp.

Huang Zhong was also surprised to hear Xu Shu's retelling. He had known Xu You for a long time, although he had no relationship. Like Xu Shu, he immediately thought about whether reinforcements had arrived. The scale of the scout camp was limited, and most of it was arranged by Xu Shu within ten miles of Fangling to ensure that the enemy scouts could not reconnaise Fangling City at close range. They found that the secret of fighting instead of training here was limited, and Xu Huang could use the power to deploy defense, and some of his energy was in the direction of Shangyong, so it was inevitable that there would be omissions.

"The possibility is not great." Xu Shu had already weighed the pros and constrained Huang Zhong's concerns directly. "Even if reinforcements arrive, they should go to Shangyong and will not come to Fangling. Xu You has experience in commanding troops, but he has been a raid all his life, has remained unchanged, and has acted extremely and is conceited. He may not be able to listen to Wu Yi's orders, but may be acting privately."

Huang Zhong agreed with Xu Shu's analysis. He was convinced of Xu Shu's ability to reason. Xu Shu has not been idle in Wuguan in recent years. He studied Sun Ce's several battles thoroughly through reading the war script. Some things were not as comprehensive and profound as his personal experience.

"Do you want to round up Xu You?"

"No, let him come to me." Xu Shu was very sure. "Xu You had good martial arts skills and rich experience. It was not easy to catch him in the mountains. One-on-one, I was not sure, unless the governor or Deng Ziyi took action personally. But it was not necessary. We are now the generals of the army, not the raiders who fought for the victory. It was meaningless to hold a sword to decide the outcome. No matter how good the martial arts skills were, they could not stop a wave of arrows or a dead soldier."

Huang Zhong laughed. He agreed very much. He did not agree with the generals personally taking action to kill people.

Xu Shu immediately ordered the painters in the army to draw a portrait of Xu You and distributed it to the scout camp, so that they could not attack easily. He also ordered people to copy some open letters and asked someone to post them to various intersections to invite Xu You to see him.

Xu You walked around Fangling for a few days, but never found a breakthrough. He could not touch the surroundings of Fangling. Even if he looked at Fangling from a distance, he could not have been occupied by Xu Shu. Even if he wanted to attack for a strong force, the other party could summon reinforcements in a short time. There were several times if he hadn't run fast, he would have been almost trapped.

Xu You saw Xu Shu's open letter and he had a copy in his arms. But he didn't plan to meet Xu Shu, but he was even more alert. He had a feeling that Xu Shu in front of him was not the young Xu Fu he knew, nor the Ranger who had whitened his face and hit his sword. He was now a wise general.

It is easy for him to meet Xu Shu, but it is difficult for him to escape. Even if it is a fair battle, he may be able to defeat Xu Shu, but he cannot defeat Huang Zhong and Deng Zhan. Both are from Nanyang, and he knows the strength of Huang Zhong and Deng Zhan. Besides, he himself knows that time is not forgiving others. Although his swordsmanship has already entered the house, his physical strength is a little unsatisfied. Huang Zhong and Deng Zhan are in their prime and are also the general who commands the army. Their daily routines and their state are much better than themselves.

He didn't want to destroy his lifetime's reputation here, he still had to keep a useful body to challenge Sun Ce.

When Xu You thought of this, he felt depressed. Ten years ago, he never took young people like Huang Zhong and Xu Shu. He and He Yong, Zhang Miao and others ran for Yuan Shao, and were determined to build a party member world. Who would have thought that this would be the case in a few years. Yuan Shao died in battle and he became a loser. Huang Zhong, Xu Shu and others became important generals who commanded the army. It became a risk to see them.

He decided to go to Shangyong to take a look. No matter what Huang Zhong and Xu Shu do in Fangling, Fangling is not as important as Shangyong. To defend Shangyong means to defend the land route to Hanzhong and the flanks of Wu County. However, the crops outside Shangyong City were burned by Xu Huang, and there was not enough food to store. If you want to defend Shangyong, you must transport grain, and field battles are inevitable.

Perhaps this is the purpose of Huang Zhong and others. The younger generation is terrifying. Although Xu You is unwilling to admit it, he feels filled with emotion. .m.
