Liu Bei pointed at those valuables,

"Gentlemen, I have already devised a method to defeat the enemy."

Zhang Fei:??

"Big Brother, isn't it a bit late to bribe the Xiliang soldiers now?"

Liu Bei shook his head,

"Yide, where did all your studies of military strategy go!"

Zhang Fei scratched his head; he felt as if he had studied it, yet also as if he hadn't!

The others were also somewhat puzzled.

Liu Bei continued,

"What do you think of the military discipline of the Xiliang soldiers?"

"Poor, extremely poor."

Zhang Liao had deep personal experience with this.

Xu Rong also agreed.

Liu Bei continued,

"If Yunchang is escorting these valuables and is pursued by the Xiliang soldiers, with gold, silver, and jewels scattered all over the ground, everyone think about it: will these Xiliang soldiers dismount to grab the loot, or will they pursue and kill our army?"

Everyone's eyes lit up!

Zhao Zilong cupped his hands,

"My lord, what a brilliant plan! When the Xiliang army is in total chaos from scrambling for the loot, our army will suddenly strike, and the Xiliang soldiers will surely be defeated!"

Zhang Fei slapped his own head,

"Aiya, Big Brother's brain really works better!"

Xu Rong was genuinely impressed; his defeat was not unjust,

"My lord is far-sighted. With the right timing and terrain, and having considered the habits of Dong Zhuo's soldiers, how could we not win!"

Liu Bei smiled,

"Alright, everyone perform your duties. Yunchang, you will have to play the role of a fleeing general today. Can you do it?"

Guan Yu cupped his hands,

"Big Brother, rest assured, I know what to do."

"Clop! Clop! Clop!"

The earth shook.

The thirty thousand iron cavalry led by Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhang Xiu were traveling rapidly across the wilderness.

"Report! ~"

"Commander, ten miles ahead, Liu Bei's second brother, Guan Yu, is leading three thousand cavalry, escorting over a hundred carriages, and is fleeing toward Maojin Ferry!"

Guo Si was overjoyed; they had finally caught up, and there were only three thousand of them!

"Good, pass the order down: travel at full speed, we must wipe this group out!"

Ten miles was covered in the blink of an eye!

The Xiliang soldiers soon caught up to Guan Yu's convoy!

Guan Yu's soldiers seemed terrified; the horses transporting the valuables were startled, and many carriages overturned on the ground.

The ground was covered in jewels, gold, and silver; even Wuzhu coins were rarely seen!

These were the accumulations of the Han imperial house over many years that Dong Zhuo had plundered, as well as treasures excavated from the imperial tombs; they were extremely precious!

Seeing the Xiliang soldiers, Guan Yu led his men and fled without even looking back!

Guo Si laughed heartily,

"This Guan Yunchang beheaded Hua Xiong and fought Lu Bu; I thought he was so formidable, but he's just running away!"

Fan Chou cupped his hands,

"The Commander is mighty; naturally, Guan Yu fled at the mere sound of your approach!"

He cursed inwardly,

"Our army is thirty thousand, Guan Yu only has three thousand; only a fool wouldn't run!"

Zhang Xiu, however, was eager for revenge,

"Commander, allow me to lead men to pursue!"

Killing Liu Bei's second brother first to pave the way wouldn't be bad either!

"Good!"

Guo Si had no interest in pursuing; wouldn't it be wonderful to get his hands on the loot first!

The livestream chat also exploded,

"That eared thief is too formidable; this strategy is truly too effective against the Xiliang soldiers!"

"I didn't expect the tsundere Guan Yu to act so super realistically; he could be awarded a small golden statue!"

"Why couldn't I think of this strategy? The eared thief is mighty!!"

While the three of Guo Si were still talking,

the entire Xiliang army fell into chaos. Their military discipline was corrupt, and they were accustomed to plundering. Seeing so much wealth, who would still heed the commander's orders? They dismounted one after another to pick up money!

"This gold bowl is mine!"

"Damn, this pearl necklace, I saw it first!"

"This gold is all mine!"

"Damn it, you dare to grab from me!"

"Grab again, and I'll chop your hand off!"

"Aiya, who cut me? Damn! I'll fight you to the death!"

Soon, the Xiliang soldiers were in a total mess, frantically scrambling for these valuables.

Those centurions and squad leaders also joined the ranks of the looters; with so much wealth, it was enough to serve as soldiers for ten years, so who cared about anything else!

Thirty thousand Xiliang soldiers were soon all in chaos!

Guo Si?! He was suddenly shocked,

"Damn it, all of you stop, damn it!"

Fan Chou cursed loudly,

"All of you, get into formation for me! If Liu Bei launches a counter-attack, what will we do!"

"Boom—!"

The earth shook. On the horizon ahead, ten thousand cavalry appeared.

Led by Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Zilong, and others, ten thousand cavalry charged toward them like several torrents!

Fan Chou wished he could slap himself; he really was a jinx!

Guo Si's face turned pale instantly,

"A treacherous plot, this is the eared thief's treacherous plot!"

"Quick! Blow the horn, reform the ranks!"

The Xiliang soldiers who were still grabbing loot looked up and were instantly stunned,

"Damn, Liu Bei is attacking!"

"I just grabbed ten pounds of gold!"

"The eared thief is wicked!"

These Xiliang iron cavalry were all veteran scoundrels; they knew they had fallen into a trap and had no way to resist!

"Run!"

Everyone hurriedly mounted their horses, turned their heads, and whipped their horses to flee frantically!

Guo Si?!

Zhang Xiu cursed and killed several people, but it had no effect!

The three of them tried their best to organize a formation of three thousand men. ===== CHAPTER 178 =====
