Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

Yuan Yi, standing nearby, was also filled with emotion. Sun Jian, the once mighty Tiger of Jiangdong, now appeared so dejected that Yuan Yi felt he could easily trample on him...

"Brother Wentai, where is your army now?" Yuan Shao asked.

"They were all stranded on the banks of the Yellow River, but at least they managed to get around Hulao Pass," Sun Jian sighed.

"Oh?!" Yuan Shao's eyes lit up slightly when he heard that Sun Jian had led his troops to Hulao Pass by water.

"My remaining troops number only a little over 300,000, which is not enough to make a significant difference," Sun Jian sighed softly.

In fact, the Guandong Coalition could have bypassed Hulao Pass by boat along the Yellow River. However, there simply weren't enough ships. Yuan Shao's tens of thousands of ships were only available after various warlords had gathered them together.

The idea of ​​transporting tens of millions of troops there is nothing short of a pipe dream.

Moreover, if they were to travel by water, Dong Zhuo could ambush them on the Yellow River and, with the help of its raging waters, possibly annihilate tens of millions of his troops in one fell swoop.

Therefore, many of the more conservative feudal lords would not adopt this plan at all. They would rather fight a direct assault than attempt to cross the Yellow River, even at the cost of many casualties.

"Alliance Leader, after our army was ambushed and defeated by Lin Mu, I came to seek justice from you immediately. Also, we may need you to mediate with General Yuan Shu, since those ships belong to him and were lent to me by him," Sun Jian said in a low voice, hinting at something.

“Everything belongs to Yuan Shu? Those ships belong to the allied forces, not to Yuan Shu’s private property!” Yuan Shao was furious upon hearing Sun Jian’s words.

"You need not worry, you are doing this for the allied forces. The loss of a few ships is nothing, I, the alliance leader, will forgive you!" Yuan Shao said magnanimously.

At this moment, he also needed supporters, and since Sun Jian had already fallen out with Yuan Shu, he needed to provide support.

Furthermore, he had a vague feeling that Sun Jian would cause trouble for Yuan Shu...

"Thank you, Alliance Leader!" Sun Jian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. The military strategy had succeeded.

The conflict between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu has now come to the forefront. When two tigers fight, the enemy of my enemy is my friend!
If Yuan Shu wants to cause him trouble, he'll have to get past Yuan Shao first.

"Wentai, later you will return to the troops and bring them to gather intelligence and create chaos behind Dong Zhuo's lines, is that alright?" Yuan Shao assigned Sun Jian his mission.

"Rest assured, Alliance Leader, although our troops are now in ruins, we will absolutely obey your orders and deliver the intelligence from behind Hulao Pass to you as soon as possible!" Sun Jian said firmly.

In fact, Yuan Shao was relatively friendly towards Sun Jian. He was willing to entrust Sun Jian with the position of vanguard general, which was a sign of appreciation; it was only due to a series of reasons that the defeat occurred.

After the defeat, the alliance leader Yuan Shao did not pursue any responsibility, which was quite good.

"Huh?!?!?!" Just then, Sun Jian, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Yi seemed to sense something and all looked towards Hulao Pass, as if something had attracted them.

At the same time, Lü Bu, holding a halberd and wearing exquisite divine armor, stood on the city wall, gazing at the Guandong Allied Army camps that stretched like a mountain range. He grinned, and a surge of heroic spirit suddenly rose up.

Today, let this all-powerful general sweep these so-called warlords of Guandong into the dustbin of history! He saw that commotion was coming from all the camps. At this moment, the warlords were preparing for war, coordinating their troops to attack the city.

"Lu Bu is here!!" At this moment, all the warlords sensed Lu Bu's presence.

It was a strange feeling... as if it were destined!
Even Lin Mu, who was rushing over here, sensed it from afar.

Along the way, Lin Mu learned about the extraordinary encounters of Taishi Ci and Pu Yuan.

First was Pu Yuan, who learned a sword-forging technique from Ou Yezi. Although it was only a inherited technique, it benefited Pu Yuan greatly. His forging abilities had improved significantly, with substantial progress in forging divine-grade weapons and armor. As for heaven-grade weapons and armor, he handled them with ease, his efficiency tripling!
Now he's confident he can repair Taishi Ci's previous signature weapon. Of course, he's not confident he can repair Taishi Ci's current signature weapon, because it's very special.

Although Lin Mu was very satisfied with Pu Yuan's opportunity, he still felt it was a bit of a pity. He originally thought that Pu Yuan would learn some forging diagrams from Ou Yezi, such as the Divine Sword Diagram, which would be priceless even if he only had one copy.

Pu Yuan also gained another benefit: the method to upgrade the Seven Star Sword Forging Pool. He didn't learn the illustrations, but he acquired the method to upgrade the Seven Star Sword Forging Pool. As long as he upgrades the Seven Star Sword Forging Pool, his efficiency may reach a new level.

Then came Taishi Ci's extraordinary encounter.

After consuming many rare materials, Ou Yezi forged two long halberds for Taishi Ci, named: [Divine Phoenix Facing the Sky Halberd]!
"Why can't I see the attributes?" Lin Mu opened Taishi Ci's attributes and found the information about his exclusive weapon, only to find that it was just a string of question marks.

"Hehe... I'm still in the process of developing. When I inscribe the Ziyang Yuzhuo soldier type later, I'll also inscribe a connection with it."

"At that time, the [Divine Phoenix Sky-Facing Halberd] can also make contact with the Ziyang Legion... Oh... right, according to Senior Ou Yezi, even if I don't advance to the Heavenly General level and don't have a flying mount, I can still fly through the sky with the help of the [Divine Phoenix Sky-Facing Halberd]!" Taishi Ci said excitedly.

Upon hearing Taishi Ci's words, Lin Mu's pupils constricted sharply: "So, you can now fly without restraint?"

“Yes!” Taishi Ci nodded.

"Then what about your strength and fighting ability?"

"When I entered the fiery pool at the mountaintop, I also received the cleansing of my marrow by innate energy, hence this. Of course, the [Divine Phoenix Halberd] has a little bit of added martial power..." Taishi Ci grinned.

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhong and the others were filled with envy. They could sense that Taishi Ci's extraordinary encounter was far superior to their own.

The legendary master craftsman Ou Yezi personally forged a weapon exclusively for him and even cleansed his marrow. He was also connected to a special type of soldier. It's simply too enviable!

Lin Mu was also very envious. The source of his Dragon God Spear's forging was very unreliable. If Ou Yezi had forged it, it would definitely be stronger. Unfortunately, the timing was wrong.

"Ziyi has more to share... Senior Ou Yezi also gave him a portion of Phoenix Origin Power and a branch of the Wutong Divine Tree!" Pu Yuan, who was practically overflowing with envy, revealed quietly.

"What?!?!" Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened, and they looked at Taishi Ci with immense envy.

As expected of a legendary figure, he immediately produced a top-tier treasure! (End of Chapter)
