Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 440: Lu Bu Leaves the City
Zhao Ying suddenly burst into mournful laughter.

"Hahahaha! Your doom has come. My Zhao family's blood feud will be avenged today."

She looked at the corpses of her brothers and was filled with grief and anger.

"Brother, have a safe trip. These two thieves will be here to accompany you soon!"

"You thief, if you dare to say anything more, I will send you to the army for the brothers to enjoy!"

Zhang Yang was already upset, and the woman's crying and cursing made him even angrier.

However, Lu Bu on the side ignored Zhao Ying's words. His face showed mixed emotions of joy and anger, and his eyes were trembling constantly.

"Good, good! You're here for the taking! Brother, let me go out to fight. I must capture the general to enhance our reputation!"

Zhang Yang said happily: "Great, I have a good brother here, why should I be afraid of Liu He? I will beat the drum to cheer for you!"

He waved his hand to call over a group of men to take charge of Zhao Ying and the entire Zhao Mansion, and he and Lu Bu went straight to the south gate.

As soon as they arrived at the South Gate, they were surprised by the situation before them.

The city gate was obviously being hit violently by something heavy. Every time it was hit, a large amount of dust would fall from the top of the gate. The soldiers who were responsible for supporting the city gate and holding the bolt had very ugly faces, as if they were about to collapse.

There were constant shouts and cries outside the city and screams on the top of the city walls, which showed that the battle situation was not optimistic.

Lu Bu shouted, "Open the city gates, and I will go over to meet the general!"

The soldiers behind the city gate lifted the bolt swiftly as if they had been pardoned, and ran away in the blink of an eye.

Accompanied by a loud bang, the city gate was suddenly knocked open, and the two door leaves hit the city walls on both sides.

However, before the Anmin Army soldier who was driving the huge battering ram had time to be happy, he saw a figure rushing towards him. In the blink of an eye, the heads of two soldiers on one side flew high into the sky.

Gao Shun was calm when he saw this sudden change. He just stared at the oncoming person, then waved to a messenger beside him. The messenger blew the horn, and the group of soldiers attacking the city in front retreated quickly.

Lu Bu looked at the situation in front of him and smiled contemptuously.

"Why didn't Liu He come here himself? Why didn't he send you to die? Bo Ping, it seems that he doesn't like you very much. Why don't you stay with me in Shangdang?"

Gao Shun remained calm and shook his head.

"Fengxian, it's a pity that you have gone astray."

Lu Bu's face darkened.

"What do you mean by misguided? Do you think following Liu He is the way to success? I will give you a chance to live because of our friendship. As long as you dismount and surrender, I will guarantee that you will be second only to me and Governor Zhang in Shangdang. Don't be ungrateful!"

Gao Shun looked at him and sighed.

"Zhang Yang is unreliable. Shangdang cannot be defended. If you surrender, I will spare your life."

These words made Lu Bu so angry that he almost jumped up.

"Gao Shun! Don't go too far! Liu He and Guan Yu are not here, and you are no match for me. If you refuse to surrender, don't blame me, Lu Bu, for not remembering our friendship in Bingzhou!"

Gao Shun's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were a little colder.

"If you still insist on being stubborn, let's fight."

Lu Bu was furious: "Okay, let's see how you can stop me today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a roar from behind Gao Shun.

"Good fellow, it's you, kid. I failed to kill you in the Allied Army's tent that day. Let's fight you again for 300 rounds today!"

Along with this roar, a black shadow rushed out from the army. Lu Bu looked closely and saw that this person had a black face, black beard, black armor, and even his warhorse was completely black. He could really be called a ball of black charcoal.

"It's you? You're a defeated general, yet you still dare to talk about bravery!"

Zhang Fei was so angry that he bared his teeth and shouted loudly.

"Thief, take my spear!"

"System prompt, Zhang Fei has triggered his special skill - Roaring, his strength increases by 3 points, his own strength increases by another 1 point, and his opponent Lu Bu's strength decreases by 1 point."

Far away in Luoyang, Liu He, who was training with the army, listened to the prompt in his mind, stopped practicing martial arts, and walked aside.

"Come, let's see the second battle between Master Zhang San and Lu Bu."

"Lü Bu's basic strength is 101, his armor and weapons add 2 points, his special skill Ji Sheng increases his strength by 4 points, and he is weakened by Zhang Fei's special skill by 1 point. His current comprehensive strength is 106 points."

"Zhang Fei's basic force is 95, weapon bonus is 1 point, special skill bonus is 4 points, and comprehensive force is 100 points."

Liu He was a little surprised: "Oh? When Zhang Fei first fought against Lu Bu, his basic strength was still 94. I didn't expect that after so many times of sparring with us brothers in Luoyang, he could actually improve by 1 point. This really makes me look at him with new eyes."

The 6-point difference in strength quickly put Zhang Fei at a disadvantage.

"Bah!"

Zhang Fei roared again, it was deafening, spit flying everywhere. He was originally in a weak position, but he turned defense into offense. Lu Bu had several chances to hit his vital points, but under his desperate fighting style, even if Lu Bu succeeded, both sides would suffer. With Lu Bu's character of cherishing life, he missed the opportunity to kill Zhang Fei again and again.

"Heh, quite interesting. The difference in strength has narrowed to 4 points again. Fighting depends entirely on shouting. This most reckless person in the Three Kingdoms really deserves the title."

Not long after, Zhang Fei roared again, but this time, just like last time, he only improved his own strength and failed to reduce Lu Bu's strength. The strength of both parties reached 105 and 102 points respectively.

The two men fought to a stalemate, and were completely unaware that their battle situation was being "live broadcast" to Liu He who was hundreds of miles away.

"Interesting, interesting. Zhang Fei's special skills are really interesting. Hmm... If Liu Bei performs well in the future, I can really train Zhang Fei well. If he has a soldier king, a armor king and a good horse, he can defeat Lu Bu in this battle."

The reason why Liu He sent Liu Bei to Shangdang County to take up a post was also due to Xun Yu's suggestion.

This arrangement can not only show kindness to Liu Bei, but also eliminate the rebel forces of Zhang Yang. At the same time, if Yuan Shao invades Bingzhou, Shangdang County will inevitably become a major barrier for the entire Bingzhou. Shangdang is sandwiched between Bingzhou and Sili, and he has absolute control over it. If Yuan Shao makes any move, he can control it at any time.

It was said that Zhang Fei and Lu Bu were fighting at Baihe in a blink of an eye. The soldiers on both sides were quite excited. Zhang Yang, who had been beating the drum on the city wall to cheer, gradually put down the drumstick.

At this time, the deputy general beside Zhang Yang suddenly pointed to the distance ahead.

"General, look! The enemy has reinforcements!"

Zhang Yang looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, an army of about several thousand people was heading this way.

"The flag with the character Liu... could it be Liu Bei? How hateful! He is just a small county magistrate, but he defected to Liu He and attempted to seize my Shangdang County. Fortunately, I have Fengxian to help me. Today, I will make sure he never returns."

Zhang Yang was full of confidence, but his deputy generals did not seem to share his confidence.

"General, I see that General Lu and Zhang Fei are in a stalemate. The enemy's army is not weak. As for their combat power... we have seen it at Hulao Pass. Although Changzi City is easy to defend but difficult to attack, we have to prepare for this back-up plan..."

When Zhang Yang heard this, his expression changed, his eyes rolled around, and then he nodded to the deputy general.

"Go ahead and follow the plan."

"As ordered!"

The deputy general turned around happily and went down the city wall.

Zhang Yang looked at the battle outside the city with a grim gaze, muttering to himself: "Humph, wanting my head is simply wishful thinking."
