On the contrary, Zhang Liao's expression changed slightly, as if he had thought of what Lü Bu was going to do next.

Lu Bu rode forward, beckoned to the messenger beside him, and ordered, "Go, tell those archers and the brothers who were driving the prisoners to retreat!"

"Here you go!"

The messenger agreed and then rode away.

Soon, the archers and Xiliang cavalry who had received the order retreated.

Just as the soldiers retreated, Lü Bu made a gesture to the Bingzhou wolf cavalry behind him.

Upon seeing this, the wolf riders drew their long swords, spurred their horses, and charged out of the enemy ranks, their target the Qiang prisoners outside the city.

"No!!"

Upon seeing this, Zhao Yun's expression immediately changed, and he was about to rush forward to stop him.

Just as he made a move, Lü Bu's halberd immediately blocked his path.

"Senior brother, what you're doing is tarnishing the reputation of the Han army!"

Seeing Lü Bu blocking his way, Zhao Yun gripped his spear tightly and roared loudly.

Faced with Zhao Yun's roar, Lü Bu simply shook his head: "Compared to reputation, I care more about the lives of my brothers!"

"you……"

Zhao Yun was about to speak again when Lü Bu interrupted him: "Zilong, you're still too green. This surprise attack ends here. Just watch from here on out!"

With that, Lü Bu turned to Zhang Liao beside him and said, "Wen Yuan, I will be in charge of the rest of the operation. Do you have any objections?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liao hesitated for a moment, glanced at Zhao Yun, and then shook his head: "No, this humble general is willing to obey General Lü's orders!"
