Huang Zu looked serious, and it was obvious that there was something serious going on.

"Brother, what instructions does the King of Chu have?"

Huang Rong was no fool and realized something immediately.

"Ah."

"The King of Chu is quite dissatisfied with the Cai family."

"After all, the Cai family has Jingzhou as their backing, while also having a murky relationship with the Dong family."

"Zhuge Liang's sister is marrying into the Cai family. It's not convenient for our Huang family to get involved in this matter."

"If we marry Zhuge Liang now, we will undoubtedly have some connection with that scoundrel Cai Mao."

"I have a large army under my command, and the King of Chu will surely become suspicious, which will be detrimental to the situation in Jingzhou."

Huang Zu nodded slightly. He was reluctant to say it at first, but when he saw his brother pointed it out, he expressed his thoughts.

"I see."

"It was my carelessness that nearly delayed my brother's business."

Huang Rong's expression changed and he quickly bowed.

"That's all."

"You've always been like this, disliking these interpersonal interactions."

"As your brother, I have no choice but to endure it. I can't send you down to see your parents, right?"

Huang Zu sat back in the main seat and took a sip of water.

"hehe."

"That's right, that's right. It's my brother who has taken on all these troubles for me."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have such a leisurely life."

"Speaking of which, brother, are you staying here for a long time now that you've come back?"

Huang Rong smiled awkwardly and then asked.

"I won't be able to stay for a few days."

"In two days we will have to cross the river and garrison Fancheng."

"There's an internal crisis in Jiangdong, so I don't need to be in charge of Jiangxia for the time being."

"As for Fancheng... Oh my god, I've heard that Dong Jun's fighting power is terrifying. When I received the transfer order, I was so worried that I couldn't sleep well for several days."

Huang Zu shook his head, his expression changing when he thought of the enemy he was about to face.

Family members know their own business. It is so difficult to defeat a rat from Jiangdong, let alone the elite troops who have swept across the Central Plains.

I hope good luck can still favor me.

The raging fire raged mercilessly, but it could not burn all the weeds and trees.

Next year, Bowangpo will still be green and beautiful.

The fire in the camp burned for more than two days. Although the forests on both sides were slightly affected, the fire gradually subsided and did not spread over a large area.

Only after the fire was completely extinguished did Huang Zhong lead his troops into Bowangpo.

"Huang Xu, Shi Huan, Han Hao, proceed according to the plan."

"The roads at Bowangpo are narrow, but there are only a few ideal places for ambushes."

"Don't alert the enemy. Shi Huan and Han Hao will march quietly along both sides of the road, using the weeds to conceal their tracks."

"Xu'er, if you encounter an enemy luring you, do not linger in a fight. Make sure you fight quickly and decisively."

Huang Zhong gave instructions to everyone one by one.

Bowangpo is the key point leading to Wancheng, and we must pass through it no matter what.

"General, rest assured, we will follow your plan."

"Don't worry, father. I will give it my all. If the enemy dares to come and feign defeat, I will strike them down with a single blow."

Huang Xu and others responded in unison.

"Okay, let's set off immediately."

"Xu'er, you lead the 3,000 vanguard troops ahead, and I will lead the main army to guard the food and supplies."

Huang Zhong nodded slightly and immediately ordered the army to advance.

The army marched into Bowangpo like a long dragon.

Huang Xu led one thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry to advance alone.

The distance between the two sides gradually widened, and they were more than ten miles apart.

Walking on Bowangpo, Huang Xu held a golden stick in his hand and looked around vigilantly.

The roar of beasts could be heard from the mountains on both sides from time to time. The vegetation was lush and there seemed to be no ambush.

On both sides of the compacted dirt road, the weeds and shrubs were more than one person tall.

As midsummer approaches autumn, the vegetation is lush and dense, and no one knows what kind of dangers are hidden in the bushes and other places in the woods.

At the foot of Yushan Mountain

Guan Yu led his soldiers to squat in the grass, watching the Dong army troops marching on the road from afar.

"Don't act rashly, this is just the enemy's vanguard."

Guan Yu whispered a reminder to the soldiers around him.

Little did they know that while they were staring at the official road, Shi Huan had already reached the foot of Yushan Mountain.

The ambushes of both sides were only about 300 steps apart, and for the time being, neither side discovered the other.

"Damn it! Didn't the enemy set up an ambush here?"

Shi Huan frowned and muttered suspiciously.
