Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 447 Death of Zhang Yang
The soldiers did not answer him, but Gao Shun took the initiative to greet them.

"General Zhang, you and I agreed that we would release the people once we got them out of Huguan. Now it's time to fulfill your promise."

Zhang Yang was stunned, looked at Gao Shun for a long time, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, I thought you were quite self-aware, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid."

His eyes suddenly turned fierce: "Humph, you defeated the morale of my army, humiliated me in public, and even teamed up with Liu Bei to seize my Shangdang foundation. With such a deep hatred, how can I let you go!"

He drew his sword and pointed it at Gao Shun.

"Gao, this day next year will be your lucky day! Come on, kill this guy!"

As soon as he gave the order, many soldiers raised their weapons and aimed at Gao Shun, but for a moment, no one actually rushed forward.

"you……"

Zhang Yang was very surprised, and then became furious.

"Do you really want to rebel? Kill him quickly!"

However, these soldiers looked at each other, and no one was willing to be the first to step forward.

Gao Shun's expression remained unchanged as he looked at Zhang Yang calmly.

"If you treat your soldiers like grass, how can you expect them to fight for you?"

Lu Bu walked up to Zhang Yang and looked at Gao Shun with a somewhat cold voice.

"Bo Ping, you and I have known each other for many years, please don't force me to do it."

He held a Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, ready to strike at any time.

Gao Shun gave him a cold look and said, "You and I are already enemies."

Just this one sentence has made the position clear.

Zhang Yang shouted wildly: "Fengxian, go quickly, kill him! Gao Shun cannot be left alive, kill, kill them all!"

At this moment, he no longer cared whether there were pursuers following him or not. If he allowed Gao Shun to follow him, the hundreds of people around him would rebel sooner or later, and he would die a more miserable death then.

Just as Lu Bu was about to attack Gao Shun, he heard Gao Shun suddenly raise his hand.

Lu Bu suddenly felt something was wrong. Although he didn't know what Gao Shun meant, he instinctively moved to the side.

"Whizzing……"

After a few soft sounds of arrows being shot, Lu Bu heard a muffled groan.

"Well……"

Lu Bu looked back and saw Zhang Yang holding his chest with a look of pain on his face, and the deputy general next to him was the same.

"Brother Zhang!"

Lu Bu was horrified. He looked at Zhang Yang, then turned back to look at Gao Shun.

"Hidden Arrow!"

Only then did he understand why Gao Shun had always been so confident.

"Pfft..."

Zhang Yang and his deputy fell off their horses, struggled in pain for a few times, and then died. However, Zhang Yang's eyes were still wide open, full of unwillingness, which made Lu Bu terrified.

"You... you dare to kill Brother Zhang..."

Gao Shun was not to be outdone. He held his spear tightly, looked at Lu Bu, and asked coldly, "Will Fengxian avenge him?"

The dull pain in his thigh made Lu Bu feel a little uneasy.

If it were a few years ago, he would have completely ignored Gao Shun.

But Gao Shun had been under Liu He's command for many years, and Liu He and his brothers were all skilled in martial arts. After not seeing him for many years, Lu Bu had no idea how skilled Gao Shun was now, or whether he could handle the situation while injured.

He held the Fang Tian Hua Ji, his palms were sweaty, and he was very hesitant.

Seeing that he didn't move, Gao Shun ignored him and turned to look at the soldiers.

"Zhang Yang is dead. What will you choose?"

Many soldiers looked at each other, looked at Gao Shun, and then looked at Lu Bu. No one stood up for a while. At this time, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Zhao Ying stuck her head out. Seeing this, Gao Shun reached out and took out the cloth stuffed in her mouth and cut the ropes on her body.

Zhao Ying bowed to Gao Shun and said, "Thank you, General Gao, for avenging our Zhao family!"

Gao Shun clasped his fists in response. Zhao Ying didn't say much, got into the carriage, and let Zhao Yu out as well.

Zhao Yu walked out of the carriage and looked at the soldiers around him.

"Everyone, I can guarantee for General Gao that as long as you abandon the dark and join the light and submit to the court, I will forgive the siege of my Zhao Mansion and will never... ahem... never mention it again..."

He rested in the carriage for half a day and now regained some energy. However, he said this in a hurry and finally couldn't help coughing. Zhao Ying hurriedly stroked his back and helped him regulate his qi.

However, as the head of the Zhao family, his words gave the soldiers more confidence.

"I am willing to surrender..."

The first soldier stood up, threw away his weapon, and knelt in front of Gao Shun and others.

After the first one, the second, the third, the fourth...

"you……"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Bu became anxious. If he really let all these hundreds of soldiers surrender, he would definitely be captured by Gao Shun today. He just escaped from the cage and was going back to Luoyang Prison in the blink of an eye. He could not accept it no matter what.

"Damn it, I can't care about anything else!"

He picked up the Fang Tian Hua Ji, threw away all his worries, and attacked Gao Shun directly.

"General Gao, be careful!"

Several soldiers who noticed Lu Bu's actions the fastest hurriedly warned him.

Gao Shun was not in a hurry and shouted to the crowd, "Don't do anything."

As he spoke, he shook his hands, tightly grasped the spear, and stabbed at the Fang Tian Huaji.

"System prompts, Gao Shun and Lu Bu are fighting. Gao Shun's basic force is 90, weapon bonus is 1 point, armor bonus is 2 points, mount has no bonus, no special skills, and comprehensive force is 93 points."

"Lü Bu's basic strength is 101 points. His thigh is injured, so his strength is temporarily reduced to 92 points. Weapons and armor add a total of 2 points, but mounts have no bonus. His special skill, Halberd Saint, is triggered, which increases his strength by 4 points, bringing his overall strength to 98 points."

Liu He, who was having dinner in his mansion, was stunned when he suddenly heard a prompt in his mind.

"My lord, what is it?"

Xun Yu and Cui Jun asked almost at the same time.

"Oh, it's okay, have dinner."

While eating, Liu He was paying attention to the situation of the battle in his mind.

"Zhang Fei and Da Meng are still here, so why is it Gao Shun's turn to fight Lu Bu? Why is Lu Bu injured? By whom? It seems that the battle of Shangdang is not as simple as imagined."

Liu He had long anticipated that Lu Bu would go to Shangdang to seek refuge with Zhang Yang after escaping from Luoyang.

Firstly, among the many princes, Shangdang was the closest to Luoyang, and Zhang Yang was clearly hostile to him.

Secondly, in the original history, Lu Bu and Zhang Yang had been friends for many years and had a close relationship.

Thirdly, the people who rescued Lü Bu must have deliberately planned to be his enemy. Now he had openly declared that he was going to attack Zhang Yang, and the troops he had sent were not many, less than 10,000 in total. They must have thought that as long as they let Lü Bu go to Zhang Yang, they could catch him off guard, damage the reputation of his ever-victorious army, and prepare him for a battle against him in the future.

So it is reasonable for Lu Bu to appear in Zhang Yang's army.

But Liu He really couldn't understand why Lu Bu would actually fight Gao Shun in a duel. Even if Lu Bu was injured, Gao Shun, who was not proficient in martial arts, would definitely not be his opponent. This made Liu He a little anxious.

"What can we do? Because Gao Shun focused on training soldiers and was not good at charging, we only gave him a set of golden armor, and his weapons were just ordinary magic weapons. The Red Hare seized from Lu Bu was also given to my fourth brother Zhang Yong. Gao Shun is bound to lose. We don't know what the situation is like over there, and whether Zhang Fei and others are nearby. If not, Gao Shun will be in danger."

Gao Shun was an extremely capable commander of troops. Looking at the entire history of the Three Kingdoms, if not the best, he was at least first-rate. He was also one of his earliest followers, and he didn't want Gao Shun to die in vain.

But no matter how anxious he was, distant water could not quench immediate thirst, and he was powerless to do anything. This made Liu He feel an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.

"Trouble, big trouble, Gao Shun, you must not be in any trouble. And what on earth is Liu Bei doing! Is he really a big hypocrite, deceiving Gao Shun and setting up a trap to frame him, in an attempt to completely control Shangdang County?"

Liu Bei became anxious and all kinds of thoughts started popping up in his mind.

But I couldn't tell Cui Jun and Xun Yu about this. Otherwise, if they asked me about it, how could I know the battle situation hundreds of miles away in an instant? How would I explain it then?
Liu He was already in a state of panic, and the battle between Gao Shun and Lu Bu had lasted for fifty rounds in a blink of an eye.
