Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1035 The fight between trapped beasts
In an instant, flames shot up into the sky and heat waves rolled.

There were flammable objects everywhere in the peach forest in autumn. With the fire-starting tools that Liu He had specially prepared, the peach forest was turned into a sea of ​​fire in just a moment.

Liu He wrapped himself in a fox fur coat and watched the fire with a comfortable and leisurely look on his face.

Cao Cao and others were extremely anxious.

"Could it be that today is the day when I will die?" Cao Cao, the peerless hero, couldn't help but feel a little desperate at this moment.

"Meng De, hurry up and leave. I will clear the way for you. Even if I die, I will fight my way out for you."

Cao Hong picked up his sword and faced the raging fire without any fear.

Cao Cao paid no attention to it, but looked at the faint dawn in the east with a very sad look.

"If Heaven has doomed me, what is the point of not dying? What is the point of not dying?"

Guo Jia could see at a glance that his lord was becoming disheartened after the successive losses of his eldest son and nephew, as well as a major defeat.

"My lord, although our army is defeated now, as long as we can break out of the encirclement, we still have most of our troops. Moreover, Yuzhou and Jingzhou are still in our hands. It is still unknown whether we can regroup and take revenge. Please cheer up, my lord."

When Cao Cao heard the words "revenge", his eyes, which had been very dim, instantly lit up again.

"Yes, I want revenge, I want revenge!"

After saying this, Cao Cao, who was already covered in dust and dirt, seemed to have suddenly returned to being the decisive and ruthless hero he used to be.

He glanced at the many civil and military officials and finally fixed his eyes on Jia Xu. Jia Xu instantly felt as if he was being stared at by some prehistoric beast.

Without waiting for Cao Cao to speak, Jia Xu took the initiative to speak.

"My lord, if we want to break out of this difficult situation, we have to use the law."

Cao Cao smiled and said, "I knew you would have a good plan."

Jia Xu was somewhat helpless: "This concerns the life and property of my lord, how dare I not try my best?"

"System prompt: At a critical moment, Cao Cao has realized his unique skill - Wei Wu: When making plans, his intelligence and political attributes will each increase by 2 points, and the intelligence of his subordinates will collectively increase by 1 point. When commanding a large army, his command and military strength will each increase by 2 points, and the military strength of his generals will collectively increase by 1 point."

"System prompt: Jia Xu has triggered his special skill 'Planning for Oneself', increasing his intelligence by 6 points. Affected by Cao Cao's special skill 'Wei Wu', his intelligence has increased by 1 point. Jia Xu's current comprehensive intelligence is 104 points."

Jia Xu said: "It is still very dark today, and there are mottled shadows of trees around, flames raging, and many soldiers and horses on both sides running back and forth. Even if Liu He has a clairvoyance, he will definitely not be able to see the situation of the lord. Now the only thing to do is to find someone with a body shape similar to the lord, put on the lord's armor, lead the death-defying soldiers, pretend to fight to the death, and charge towards Liu He's camp."

At this point, Cao Cao and his advisers all understood what was going on, and they all applauded.

"Excellent! Our army is making a last-ditch effort. Liu He will not dare to underestimate it. At that time, all his energy will be focused on the death squad, and the lord will have a chance to break out in the chaos. Our army's main camp is guarded by General Cao Ren, who is best at defense. It will not be easy for Gao Shun to capture it. I am afraid that it is still in the midst of a fierce battle. When the lord leads the remaining troops back to the main camp, Gao Shun will be caught off guard, and our army will have a chance to survive."

Cheng Yu's words explained the second half of Jia Xu's plan clearly, which cheered up everyone present.

Cao Hong immediately stood up with a determined look on his face.

"Meng De, let me handle this matter." Cao Cao was immediately shocked: "How can I do this? Zi Lian is my cousin and a great general in the army. If I let you take the risk for me, it would be more painful for me than if I were involved myself. This is absolutely not allowed."

But after hearing his words, the determination on Cao Hong's face became even stronger. He fell to his knees and kowtowed three times to Cao Cao.

"Zi Lian, what are you doing..."

Cao Hong looked like he was crying or laughing. "Meng De, you and I grew up together. Apart from being short, I am not as good as you in other aspects. The world can survive without me, Cao Hong, but it cannot survive without you, Cao Cao. I have always obeyed you since I was young, but today I am going to rebel for once."

After saying that, he exchanged glances with Xiahou Yuan, and without waiting for Cao Cao to react, the two of them started to strip off his armor.

"Zilian, Miaocai, how dare you...ah...my helmet..."

Cao Hong quickly put on Cao Cao's armor, snatched Cao Cao's Qinggang sword, and then urged Xiahou Yuan: "What are you still standing there for? Take the lord away quickly."

After saying that, he led the army and rushed towards Liu He's direction without saying a word.

"Kill Liu He, and the danger will be resolved. Follow Cao..."

Cao Hong deliberately imitated Cao Cao's voice and accent, although it was not very similar, but under such circumstances, and the voice was mixed with the sound of wind, fire, and screams, no one would investigate whether it was true or not.

After hearing this voice and seeing their lord "Cao Cao" personally charging into the battle line, the vast majority of Cao's soldiers put aside their fear and panic, and replaced them with an intense will to fight, following their lord as they rushed out.

"Meng De, hurry up. The soldiers don't know the truth yet. Don't let them find you."

"I won't leave. Let me go, Zi Lian... If Zi Lian dies, what's the point of Cao living alone in this world? Zi Lian..."

Cao Cao cried bitterly and was heartbroken, but whether it was intentional or not, the sound of his crying was not very loud, so it did not cause any disturbance among the chaotic army.

Seeing this, Xiahou Yuan simply picked up Cao Cao and threw him on the back of his horse.

"Protect the lord, hide and lie dormant for the time being, and when you see the enemy troops gathering towards Liu He, quickly break out to the east..."

"Report..." The scout hurried to Liu He and knelt down to report.

"Cao Cao is personally leading his army to attack Your Majesty..."

Liu He raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? A trapped beast still fights? He does have some backbone, but this is not like Cao A Man's style."

Ever since he heard the system prompt sound indicating that Jia Xu had triggered his special skill, Liu He became more alert.

Cui Jun asked, "Is it really Cao Cao?"

The scout did not dare to hide the truth: "The man was wearing Cao Cao's armor, wielding a Qinggang sword, and was guarded by Cao's personal soldiers."

Cui Jun seemed to have realized something and said to Liu He, "Your Majesty, you cannot fight a trapped beast with force. It is better to use bows and crossbows to weaken the enemy's spirit and prevent the enemy from rushing out of the fire. After the enemy's casualties are almost all dead or wounded, the main force can clean up the mess."

Liu He nodded and said, "Well, Zhou Ping's words make sense, let's do it this way."
