Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 195: Outstanding Majesty, Kingly Strategy! (Thanks to the monthly ticket of book friend 2024…9156~)

As the news that Zhang Fei was killed by Lu Bu spread, the whole Xuzhou was shocked!
Xiapi City.

Tao Qian, who was guarding the place, was shocked when he learned that Zhang Fei had been killed:
"How could Lu Bu kill Zhang Yide, who was an enemy of ten thousand men?!
"If Xuande knew this, I'm afraid he would lose his mind instantly..."

In front of the camp outside Chen County of the State of Chen.

Cao Cao looked at Chen County, which was surrounded by his 50,000 troops, and listened to the news brought by his men. He clapped his hands excitedly:

"Great! You are indeed the best general in the world. You can even kill a barbarian like Zhang Fei!

"Zhang Fei and Liu Bei are like brothers. Liu Bei must be furious now!"

Cao Cao looked at the army that was constantly attacking the city with a gloating look on his face, and suddenly ordered the troops to retreat.

The two armies that were fighting fiercely were all confused.

Especially Liu Bei, who was personally commanding the defense of the city on the city wall, felt extremely confused.

The planned time should not have arrived yet, why did the enemy suddenly call off the attack?
Could it be that their plan was exposed?
Under Liu Bei's worried gaze, the enemy troops that retreated to the camp did not withdraw, which made Liu Bei feel slightly relieved.

But at this moment, he suddenly saw Cao Cao personally coming to the city under the escort of a group of generals, and smiled triumphantly at the tower:
"Brother Xuande, I just got some bad news, and I really can't bear to tell you."

Liu Bei put the double-edged sword back into the scabbard at his waist and snorted coldly:
"Brother Meng De, just speak frankly. Otherwise, after this battle is over, you may not have the chance to talk to me again!"

Hearing such arrogant words, the smile on Cao Cao's face suddenly disappeared.

He put his hands into his sleeves, with a sneer on his face:
"I have just received reliable information that your third brother Zhang Yide led 5,000 soldiers to attack Lu Bu's main force, but was defeated and killed!"

The moment he heard this, Liu Bei froze in place.

But the next moment, he suddenly sneered:
"My third brother has always been invincible! Brother Meng De, there is no need to use such low-brow tricks to shake the morale of our army.

"I advise Brother Meng De to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise you will regret it in no time!"

Cao Cao laughed and tapped his head with his finger:
"You also know that it is a low-level trick. Do you think I, Cao Mengde, would use it?
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, this general has already told you.

"That black-faced man will never stand beside you again, hahahahahaha..."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he returned to the camp with a loud laugh.

Liu Bei was left staring at his back, feeling an increasingly strong sense of uneasiness in his heart!

Impossible...absolutely impossible!

Whether it is personal martial arts, killing enemies in battle or physical fitness, his third brother is the best among his subordinates!
The only one who can compete with the third brother is his second brother Guan Yu!
How could such a rare and powerful general, who is in his prime, die so easily?

Besides, with the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun accompanying him, there is no way anything could happen to his third brother!
Just as he was constantly comforting himself, a figure suddenly climbed up the city wall in a hurry.

The man fell to the ground in front of him with red eyes, it was the elegant young Zhuge Liang!

"My Lord... Liang just felt uneasy, so he cast a hexagram, which showed that there was a bad omen in the east.

"Also, I observed the sky last night and found that a fiery red star had dimmed and fallen. I'm afraid that a great general in my army has fallen..."

"what?!"

Liu Bei was so shocked that he staggered backward and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Chen Dao behind him caught him in time.

He recalled the message Cao Cao had just sent him, and combined it with the words of Zhuge Liang, the military advisor who had foreseen everything.

For a moment, I felt my blood pressure soaring, my head was dizzy, and everything in front of me lost its color!
"It's... my third brother. It's... my third brother? It's... my third brother!"

As he spoke, Liu Bei collapsed to the ground, with tears streaming from his red eyes!
Zhuge Liang also had red eyes, and he was not surprised about the person Liu Bei was talking about.

Obviously, he already knew who had fallen... Zhuge Liang hurried forward to hold Liu Bei's arm, and comforted him in a sad voice:

“My lord… this matter has not been finalized yet, so don’t let it affect morale.

"If our army cannot defend Chen County, all our efforts will be in vain!"

Liu Bei suddenly cried out:
“My third brother is gone, what use is there for me to have this county?
"If I cannot live and die with my brothers, what good is it even if I conquer thousands of miles of territory!"

Seeing Liu Bei weeping and heartbroken, Zhuge Liang was also overwhelmed with grief and could only continue to persuade him:

“If you don’t pull yourself together, my lord, how can you avenge General Yide?
"General Yide died protecting the lord's territory.

"If you can't defend this beautiful land for Yide, wouldn't that be a waste of General Yide's desperate efforts?"

Liu Bei didn't listen to most of what Zhuge Liang said.

But only the word "revenge" instantly gave him endless motivation!
Liu Bei forced himself to stand up.

With tearful eyes, he looked at the helpless soldiers around him, and then looked at the Cao army camp not far away.

After a long silence, his red eyes burst into angry flames:

"How long is the agreed time with His Majesty?"

"Tomorrow."

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei, who was full of murderous intent, and vaguely seemed to see the angry emperor who launched the Battle of Yiling in his previous life!

Outstanding majesty, the strategy of a king!
Liu Bei leaned against the city wall and said in a deep voice:
“Send someone quickly to verify the truth of this matter.

“Also, let Yunchang prepare for action.

"This time I will make Cao Cao and Lu Bu to be buried with my third brother!"

"Here!"

…………

Xia Pi County, Siwu City.

Without the garrison of Zhang Fei and Xu Shu, Siwu City took the initiative to open its gates and surrender, welcoming the arrival of Lu Bu's army.

However, after suffering a loss in the fruit and vegetable manor, Lu Bu did not rush into the city this time, but set up camp on the edge of the city.

In the previous battle, two to three thousand people were poisoned and injured by Zhang Fei and his men's poisonous snake strategy.

Most of them died from the poison and could not be saved.

But Cheng Lian was lucky.

With the dedicated treatment of Lu Bu and the military doctors, and his own excellent physical condition, he finally survived.

But the bitten ankle area was almost completely necrotic, which means that his left foot was basically useless!
Not only will he have trouble walking, but it will also be difficult for him to achieve success on the battlefield in the future...

Although it is a blessing in disguise to save one's life.

But Lu Bu knew that for a military general, not being able to achieve success on the battlefield was even more painful than killing him!

But Lu Bu quickly thought that although the other party could not walk normally.

But if he rode a horse and relied on the single stirrup on the right, he might be able to continue fighting.

Although there will still be many inconveniences, at least it will allow Cheng Lian to regain his confidence and continue to shine in the military camp!
