Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 207 Wang Chen's Conspiracy
Wang Chen had a sinister smile on his face, and even Ye Wang sensed something was wrong.

"Hehe, this matter has to be attributed to Commander Liu. If it weren't for you taking over the military power of the entire county and making the Yanmen garrison so strong, the governor would not know how to deal with the invasion of King Xiutu this year."

Liu He understood the hidden meaning in his words and stood up immediately.

"Your Excellency, do you mean to transfer a group of people from our Yanmen garrison to Xihe County to guard against the Xiongnu?"

Guan Yu and others immediately glared at Wang Chen.

"Your Excellency has a good idea! Do you want to get something for nothing?"

Ye Wang also frowned and said, "This is not appropriate. The situation in Yanmen is even worse than in Xihe. It would be fine if there were no reinforcements, but they also want to transfer part of the troops. How can this be justified?"

Wang Chen smiled but his face was not smiling. He said slowly and calmly, "Inspector Ding is the Inspector of Bingzhou appointed by the imperial court. He is in charge of the overall situation of Bingzhou. The Xiongnu King Xiu Tu is eyeing him covetously. The former Inspector Zhang just died at his hands a few months ago. It can be seen how cruel he is. There are only 50,000 soldiers in the Bingzhou military camp now, which is even weaker than when Inspector Zhang was there. They couldn't resist then, let alone now?"

"There are as many as 80,000 or 90,000 soldiers guarding Yanmen Pass. With the natural barrier of Yanmen Pass, only 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers are needed to defend it, and the rest can be transferred to Xihe County. In this way, both Xihe and Yanmen can be safe. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

"No!" Cui Jun stood up and refuted loudly.

"In the battle a few months ago, although Governor Zhang died and the Bingzhou army suffered heavy losses, as far as I know, King Xiutu's army also lost more than 10,000 people and was seriously injured. Moreover, Xihe County is full of mountains and rivers, which is not conducive to the march of large cavalry. In terms of geographical advantages, it may not be inferior to Yanmen Pass. Under such circumstances, it is not difficult to defend against King Xiutu's less than 40,000 cavalry with 50,000 troops."

"On the contrary. Although we have Yanmen Pass in Yanmen County, the land outside the pass is flat for nearly 100 miles. Even beyond 100 miles, there are only a few small hills. The Xianbei army has occupied the Yanze area to graze horses. By then, from Yanze to Pingcheng to the south, it will be a 400-mile flat road, which will take no more than two days for the Xianbei cavalry. The Xianbei army has 140,000 or 150,000 troops. By then, as long as half of them are dispatched to attack, 70,000 troops can reach Yanmen Pass in an instant. Isn't it more serious than Xihe County?"

Wang Chen looked at Cui Jun.

"Could this be Cui Jun, the second son of Cui Tingwei?"

Cui Jun replied unhappily: "That's right!"

"Haha, I've heard of your great name for a long time. I don't understand these military affairs. I'm just following the order of the governor to mobilize 30,000 troops. If you don't respect me, I can only report the truth after I return."

"you!"

Seeing that Wang Chen no longer argued and directly used the title of governor to pressure Cui Jun, he was so angry that his face turned red.

Liu He knew very well that Wang Chen was clearly plotting something.

If I don't obey the order to mobilize troops, I would be openly disobeying the governor's office, and they might even accuse me of rebelling against the court.

If we follow the order and transfer 30,000 troops, it would be very difficult to defend Yanmen Pass with only 50,000 men under the Xianbei cavalry. By then, I am afraid that all of our men will inevitably be buried outside Yanmen Pass.

"Brother, this person has ulterior motives. We must not agree to this!"

Guan Yu urged them to do so, and others also tried to dissuade them.

Wang Chen said angrily: "How dare you! Do you want to go against the governor?"

"What a bullshit governor! My brothers and I are fighting for him outside, yet he dares to seize my eldest brother's military power! If he angers me, I will charge into Jinyang City and kill him too!"

Cheng Liang was furious. But his words gave Wang Chen an advantage.

"Okay! This is what you said, Governor Ye, you must bear witness! Even if Liu He's subordinates spoke rudely to the governor, I will make the governor report it to the court when I return!"

Ye Wang, however, looked up at the sky, as if he saw and heard nothing.

"you……"

Wang Chen was so angry.

The general behind him stood up and took a long spear from the hand of the personal soldier following him.

"You are so rude! I wanted to teach you a lesson just now, and now you dare to speak so arrogantly. Do you dare to go out and fight me to the death?"

"Let's fight, are you qualified to use a halberd? I, Cheng Liang, have been using a halberd for so many years and have never met an opponent!"

"Humph, how arrogant and ignorant! I, Lu Bu, am unrivaled in the world, and you, a mere thief, dare to be so arrogant!"

The two were about to rush out, but Liu He heard something extraordinary.

"Slow down!" Liu He stopped the two of them and looked at Lu Bu.

"Your name is Lu Bu?"

When Lu Bu saw that Liu He seemed to know him, he raised his head three points higher. "Yes, it is me. It seems that Commander Liu has also heard of my reputation."

Before Liu He could say anything, Ye Wang suddenly exclaimed.

"You are Lü Bu, Lü Fengxian? I have long heard that when Governor Zhang was defending Wuyuan County against foreign invaders, he brought back a brave young man named Lü Bu. This man is an excellent rider and martial artist. He trained 2,000 Bingzhou wolf riders in the Bingzhou army, which is said to be able to fight against the cavalry of the Xianbei and Xiongnu. How about you?"

After hearing these words, Lu Bu seemed to be very pleased.

"Yes, that's right!"

Guan Yu and others disagreed with this.

"Tsk, there are no heroes in the world, so the little ones become famous. I don't believe you can withstand my three hammers!"

Lu Bu was immediately furious: "What a thief! You are even more arrogant than this Cheng guy. Come out and die first!"

Liu He's eyes rolled and he had an idea in his mind.

"Wait a minute, General Lu is famous, if he wants to compete with us, we should accompany him. But if there is no prize for this martial arts competition, wouldn't it be boring?"

Wang Chen seemed to realize that something was wrong and quickly stood up.

"General Lu, don't be anxious. We will first take care of the governor's important business, and then we can teach them a lesson."

Liu He glanced at him and said with a smile: "Haha, it's just a martial arts competition. Is Wang Biejia worried that General Lu will lose?"

When Lu Bu heard this, his face immediately darkened.

"Please wait a moment. I'm afraid these little thieves can't stop me. I'll teach them a lesson first. Once they know how powerful I am, they will obey my orders."

When Wang Chen heard this, it seemed to make sense. He had seen Lu Bu's bravery with his own eyes.

Seeing that he no longer objected, Liu He said, "Since Lord Beijia is anxious, why don't we do these two things at the same time?"

Lu Bu asked: "How can I do one thing?"

"It's very simple. General Lu will compete with my brothers in martial arts. If the general wins, Liu will immediately recruit 30,000 soldiers and let the general take them back. If my brothers win by chance, I hope the general will be flexible on this matter for a while."

Cui Jun understood what Liu He meant, and walked over to continue, "That's right. The Xianbei army set out from Yanze and reached Yanmen in two days. The Xiongnu cavalry set out from the grasslands west of Shangjun, passed through Shangjun, and invaded Xihe County. It would take at least ten days to arrive. Moreover, the Hetao area is rich in water and grass, and the grassland withers later than the northern border. Over the years, the Xiongnu invasion has always been later than the Xianbei. Therefore, after our army defends Yanmen this autumn, if the military situation in Xihe is critical, we will immediately send all our troops there. At that time, whether it is beating or punishment, it will be up to the governor to decide."

After all, Cui Jun was the second son of Cui Tingwei, and when he reported the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the court in advance, he was highly praised by the emperor. His words were well-reasoned, and it seemed difficult for Wang Chen and Lu Bu to refute him.

But how could Wang Chen be willing to let it go like this?
"But the governor has issued a military order, and we cannot take the initiative. This prize is not good, let's change it."

Zhang Yong glanced at Wang Chen, then looked at Lu Bu with contempt.

"Haha, it seems that although General Lu has a great reputation, it may not be true. Even my colleagues around me don't believe that you can defeat brothers like us, so it's better to admit defeat early."

Lü Bu was so angry that his hair stood on end. "Nonsense! I, Lü Fengxian, am so famous that even King Xiu Tu would have to give me some distance! Wang Beijia, this matter is settled. How could they possibly defeat the long halberd in my hand? Just wait and lead the troops back to ask for credit!"

Wang Chen still wanted to argue, but Lu Bu didn't give him the chance and went out directly with his halberd.

"System, check Lu Bu's attributes."

"Lü Bu, courtesy name Fengxian, was a famous general from the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period. He was also a local lord and was known as the most powerful general in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period. His historical peak attributes: Command 81, Force 103, Intelligence 56, Politics 39."

"Lü Bu's current attributes: Command 72, Military Strength 99, Intelligence 52, Politics 31. Special Attribute: Archery 98. Special Skill: Halberd Saint - When using a halberd, the military strength increases by 3 points, suppressing the military strength of the enemy's halberd-type generals by 2 points, and increasing the own military strength by 1 point when fighting against enemy generals who are not halberd-type generals."

Liu He was puzzled: "How come there are basic attributes with a value exceeding 100?"

"Human potential is infinite. The so-called limit is only for ordinary people. A very small number of people who are gifted and willing to work hard, or who have a chance to meet someone, will naturally have the opportunity to surpass the limit. The system has reminded the host of this before, but the host himself did not pay attention to it."

"Did you give me a hint? I don't remember it."

However, after the system said this, it never paid any attention to Liu He again.

"Never mind, I've never won an argument with the system. But this Lu Bu's attributes are really scary. Not only is his martial arts at the peak of 103, but his archery is also as high as 98. And since his martial arts haven't reached the peak, his archery is probably not at the peak either. After all, he should only be twenty-five or twenty-six years old now, and he still has a long period of growth."

As Liu He walked out with his brothers, he was thinking about how to fight this battle.
