Ding Fengwu is brave and cannot be defeated easily, and the army is about to arrive, he has no other choice but to retreat.

Looking at the surrounding environment, Zhao Yun rushed north along the east bank of Zhangshui without hesitation.

Cheng Pu and Han Dang led troops to kill them, and when they saw that Zhao Yun was about to flee, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, in order to avoid being seen by the other party, he still put on a show and chased for a distance with great momentum.

Seeing that the other party really wanted to retreat, instead of deliberately distracting himself, he was finally completely relieved.

Then return to Dangyang Bridge without hesitation.

After all the troops crossed the river, they directly destroyed the Dangyang Bridge to prevent Zhao Yun from returning.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After Zhao Yun retreated safely, he immediately turned back north to join Liu Ke's main force.

But Lu Bu didn't want to let Huang Gai go easily. After being blocked by Sun Yu in Jingcheng, he turned north and chased Huang Gai.

Huang Gai was also not idle along the way. Although he saw Xu Sheng, Lv Bu's target, he continued eastward for the sake of acting.

Finally, after trekking for nearly a hundred miles, they came to Yamen Garrison City by the Han River.

In fact, the reason why Huang Gai and Xu Sheng chose Yamen to guard the city, and the other chose Jingcheng.

In addition to attracting Lu Bu's attention and buying time for Sun Quan to retreat to Dangyang, which is the biggest reason, there is another plan.

These two cities are all built on the Han River, like two gates locked on the Han River.

Moreover, they can also communicate with each other through the Hanshui River and help each other at any time.

If Liu Keruo wants to go south, besides the land route, the waterway is equally important, and the waterway can only go through the Han River.

So as long as these two cities are guarded and the opponent is not easily threatened by going south to threaten Jiang Xia, it can be regarded as buying time for Sun Quan's counterattack.

Therefore, as soon as Huang Gai arrived, he immediately took over the power of guarding the city of Yamen from Chen Heng, the general who guarded the city, and personally arranged it inside and outside the city.

Chen Heng was originally a general under Liu Yao, but later he surrendered to Sun Ce, but he was not taken seriously, and was thrown to this small town in a form of almost allotment, as a small county magistrate.

However, when Huang Gai came, even the power of the county magistrate was taken away by him, which made Chen Heng feel even more angry.

However, Huang Gai has a high position and power, and he is also a direct descendant of the Sun family. He has assisted Sun Jian and his son for three generations.

How can Chen Heng, who has no roots, be moved by such a character?

Therefore, he dared not speak out, and could only drink to relieve his worries every day.

Unexpectedly, this move aroused Huang Gai's wrath again.

"As the head of a city, now that the enemy army is coming, you don't think about how to defend against the enemy, but you are still drinking here. You should be executed for your crime!"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Heng's drunkenness was instantly awakened. He quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, kowtowing like garlic.

The people around were all Chen Heng's colleagues, and they also hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, which saved his life.

However, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. Huang Gai beat Chen Heng with [-] army sticks and drove him out of the city to go on patrol.

Chen Heng said thousands of thanks, but his heart was full of resentment, so how could he go to patrol sincerely.

Not long after he left the city, he simply went hunting on the Kugang Ridge in the west of the city to relax.

Without Huang Gai's control here, Chen Heng's mood finally eased.

On this day, Chen Heng was chasing a sika deer and ran into two cavalry head-on.

The other party was not a soldier from Jingzhou, no matter his clothes or accent, Chen Heng's spirit instantly tensed up.

Fortunately, although he was beaten with thirty army sticks and was injured, he still had strength.

Facing two cavalrymen alone, he still did not lose the wind, and even beheaded one of them, while the other escaped in embarrassment after being injured.

After this incident happened, Chen Heng didn't have the mood to continue hunting anymore, and returned to the city directly with the corpse.

When Huang Gai saw what he had gained, his expression changed instantly.

He muttered in his mouth: "I didn't expect to chase you here?"

After dealing with Lu Bu for so long, he naturally recognized that this was the attire of Lu Bu's subordinates.

So Huang Gai didn't care to say anything else, so he hurried to the city and ordered the whole city to be on guard.

Chen Heng didn't understand why he looked at Huang Gai busy, but he thought indifferently: "Isn't it just an enemy soldier, so why make such a fuss?"

However, Chen Heng didn't know that the escaped scout had returned to Lu Bu's team and reported the incident.

As soon as Lu Bu heard this, he immediately rushed towards the direction of Yamen Garrison City.

In the afternoon, they finally came to the city.

At this time, Huang Gai happened to go to inspect the military equipment, and Chen Heng stayed behind on the city wall.

As soon as he saw the enemy army coming, he went out of the city to meet the enemy without hesitation.

Chen Heng didn't know how powerful the other party was, and he wanted to vent his anger on Huang Gai with the other party.

So pointing at Lu Bu proudly with a gun, he said: "Where is the thief general, how dare you offend me? With Chen Heng here, I will discipline you whether you come back or not!"

Lu Bu couldn't help laughing when he saw this person talking nonsense to him.
