Three Kingdoms: Wolong's brother-in-law, tricking Liu Bei into seizing Jingzhou

Dian Wei was confused.

He was originally very angry and only wanted to kill Deng Ai in retaliation for the harm and humiliation he had inflicted on Cao Cao.

However, he did not expect that although Deng Ai had lost his silver spear, he had snatched the Yitian sword dropped by Cao Cao.

He was confident that this full-strength attack would send Deng Ai flying, but he did not expect that his double halberds would be cut off by Deng Ai.

"It's really a magical weapon that can cut through iron like mud..."

Deng Ai's eyes burst with ecstasy, and he swung the sword in his hand out again.

The double halberds are broken, how can we stop them?
Use your hands to block it?

Dian Wei had no time to be shocked and quickly dodged.

Although the double halberds were broken, his body movement was still there, and Deng Ai stabbed the air with his sword.

Deng Ai, however, took advantage of the situation and stabbed Dian Wei with the sword in his hand as fast as the wind.

Within a few moves, Dian Wei was forced into a panic and could only dodge left and right in a panic.

Dian Wei's horror turned into anger, and anger turned into panic.

Even though he boasted that his martial arts skills were comparable to Lu Bu's and that he was the best in Qin, without his weapon he would be like a tiger with its teeth pulled out. How could he be a match for Deng Ai, a young bull?
"If you keep fighting like this, I will definitely die at the hands of this brat!"

"How can I, Dian Wei, die in such a cowardly way? Wouldn't I be laughed at by the world?"

With a change of mind, Dian Wei did not dare to continue the stalemate. He saw an opportunity, turned his horse, jumped out of the battle group and fled.

He escaped.

The most powerful general in Qin State was forced to break his halberd and flee by a 15-year-old boy like Deng Ai!
In this battle, Deng Ai did rely on the sword's ability to cut through metal like mud, and he killed Dian Wei by surprise.

If you can win, you win.

Dian Wei could only throw away his severed double halberds and flee like a stray dog ​​under the horrified gaze of the Qin soldiers.

Even Dian Wei had fled, so how could the surviving Qin soldiers dare to fight again?

They fled like a flock of frightened sheep.

Deng Ai, however, drew his sword and stood still, not pursuing him any further.

Cao Cao in front had already escaped to the Wei River and walked away on the ice. It was impossible to catch up with him at this time.

Since Cao Cao cannot be killed, there is no point in pursuing Dian Wei.

With Dian Wei's martial arts, even if he couldn't withstand his sword, it would be impossible for him to be killed.

In this battle, Cao Cao's wrist was broken, his sword was snatched away, and he was killed until his hair was disheveled and he fled in panic. That was almost enough.

"Cao thief, you are not destined to die. Sooner or later, I, Deng Ai, will be the first hero to destroy Qin!"

Deng Ai looked at Cao Cao's embarrassed back, with a smug look on his face.

Then he turned his horse around and retreated a few steps, picking up the golden helmet that Cao Cao had dropped on the ground.

"Although I didn't kill Cao Cao in today's battle, it was enough for me, Deng Ai, to become famous and shock the world..."

Looking at the Yitian sword in his right hand and then at Cao Cao's golden helmet in his left hand, Deng Ai smiled.

On the battlefield, the young man's triumphant laughter echoed.

...

By evening, the killing was over.

Zhao Yun, Deng Ai, and Hao Zhao met outside Chencang City.

The three men looked up in the light of the fire, and saw corpses left by the Qin army everywhere from Chencang to the ice of the Wei River, with no end in sight.

A rough estimate shows that the Qin army lost at least nearly ten thousand lives this time.

To describe it as a disastrous defeat is no exaggeration.

"Shi Zai, you have taken Cao Cao's sword and golden helmet. You have done a great deed. You will become famous in the world with this battle!"

Hao Zhao looked at Deng Ai with an envious smile.

Deng Ai couldn't suppress the curve of his mouth, but he said self-deprecatingly:
"Brother Bodao, you are too kind. After all, Cao the thief escaped. What kind of achievement is it to take the sword and the golden helmet?"

Changing the subject, he praised: "It is you, Brother Bodao, who defended Chencang with 4,000 soldiers and horses and saved our 1 million bushels of grain and grass. This is the real achievement!"

"After this battle, the only one who will be famous throughout the world is you, Hao Bodao!"

Hao Zhao could not hide the pride on his face, and naturally he couldn't help but be self-deprecating and humble.

The two big men and the young rising star started praising each other here.

"Alright, there's no need for either of you to be so modest. With your contributions, it won't be a problem for you to become famous after this battle."

"It is a blessing for the Han Dynasty and the emperor that we have young generals like you!"

Zhao Yun sighed as an elder.

Then a look of admiration flashed across his face, and he said:
"But then again, you, Deng Shizai, are the Prime Minister's disciple, and you, Hao Bodao, were also recommended to His Majesty by the Prime Minister. It was also the Prime Minister who saw through Cao Cao's plan to sneak attack Chencang."

"The Prime Minister's ability to judge people and his ability to make plans are truly unrivaled in ancient and modern times. Even if Sun Wu were resurrected, he would be unmatched."

Zhao Yun's words made the two young men react immediately, and they naturally admired and praised Xiao Fang.

"Okay, we have completed the mission of this battle."

"Let's go back to Chencang and continue guarding it, and then send a messenger to report the victory to His Majesty!"

...

Jicheng.

Xiahou Dun, Zhang Song, Huang Quan and other ministers who stayed behind were all eagerly waiting for the news of Cao Cao's surprise attack on Chencang.

This battle holds all their hopes.

Everyone hopes that Cao Cao can turn the tide in one battle.

Unfortunately, after waiting for several days, they only saw Cao Cao and his defeated troops return.

Jicheng was greatly shocked.

The scholars, common people, military and civilian dignitaries in the city were all shocked.

The already unstable people's hearts became even more panic-stricken and frightened.

In the temporary palace, inside the sleeping hall.

Cao Cao was half lying down, with his teeth bared and his brows furrowed, as he endured the medical officer's treatment of his broken arm.

The ministers standing below were whispering to each other, with anxiety and fear clearly written on their faces.

"You all must remember the name Deng Ai. If you encounter this villain on the battlefield, you must capture him alive!"

"I will execute him myself to vent my hatred!"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and shouted at his ministers with anger on his face.

The pain of a broken wrist, the humiliation of having a helmet taken away, the shame of a defeat...

Has any emperor in ancient and modern times ever suffered such a great humiliation?
And such humiliation actually came from a young boy who is still wet behind the ears!

Double the shame!

"I have said it before, Cheng Gongying is too self-righteous and underestimates Liu Bei and Xiao Fang."

"This plan must have been discovered by Xiao Fang, so the big-eared thief would have sent cavalry back to rescue Chencang in advance."

"He thought his plan was perfect, but he never expected that Xiao Fang would see through it. Not only did he fail to sneak attack Chencang, but he also killed tens of thousands of my soldiers and humiliated Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, all the consequences we have now are due to Cheng Gongying's underestimation of the enemy!"

Zhang Song seized the opportunity and took advantage of the situation to add insult to injury, attacking Cheng Gongying, the newly rising strategist of the Liangzhou faction.

When Cheng Gongying was mentioned, Cao Cao's face turned gloomy and he felt dissatisfied.

Xu Huang took a step forward and warned cautiously:
"Your Majesty, my surprise attack on Chencang failed, and Lueyang City is in danger. I still have more than 10,000 soldiers there."

Cao Cao's heart trembled, and he suddenly woke up, and shouted anxiously:
"Quick, quickly tell Yu Jin, Yan Xing, Cheng Gongying to abandon Lueyangnan and retreat back to Jicheng!"

"Those 10,000 precious soldiers must be protected for me!"

"Go and pass the order quickly, go quickly——" (End of this chapter)
