Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 595 Both Sides Are Shocked
"Why is this evil spirit here? I can't fight him."

Wen Chou was so frightened that he didn't care about anything else and quickly turned around to run for his life.

"Haha, you want to run? Let's see where you can run." Zhu Ye slapped the silver-armored beast and chased after it.

Here, Wen Chou was being chased by Zhu Ye and running around everywhere. On the battlefield, with the joining of Zhang Yong and Gao Shun, the little advantage that Jizhou had just gained was instantly wiped out.

The Han Wu soldiers advanced in the front, and the Golden Sword Camp hid behind them. From time to time, they would flash out from between the two adjacent heavy shields of the Han Wu soldiers and slash a few times. The sharp and powerful golden swords would never miss their target. Sometimes they could even cut off the wooden gun barrels in the hands of the Jizhou soldiers, along with the soldiers themselves, with one strike.

Ju Su was extremely anxious. He watched the battle situation gradually become one-sided, but he was powerless to do anything. This feeling made him feel like he would rather die than live.

"My lord, we can't fight any more. If we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid our army will lose no less than 20,000 men before sunset. In this battle, almost all of Jizhou's troops have gone out to defend against other lords on all sides. If we suffer too much loss in the battle with Liu He, even if we can attack Bingzhou later, if Qing, Yan, You and other places raise troops to attack, Jizhou will be unable to defend itself. It is better to withdraw the troops as soon as possible. This is the safest plan."

He begged desperately, but Yuan Shao became more and more impatient the more he listened.

"Alright, you keep asking me to withdraw my troops. If your words hadn't disturbed the morale of the army, how could our army's combat effectiveness be so weak?"

Ju Su became more and more anxious: "My lord, if you don't listen to my advice, you will probably end up destroying yourself."

"How outrageous!" Yuan Shao was furious.

"Come here, Ju Su is too seriously injured to be a military advisor. Take him back to Yecheng immediately and keep him under strict surveillance. Do not let him leave the palace gates!"

"My lord, my lord..."

Soon someone dragged Ju Shou away, and no matter how he shouted, Yuan Shao no longer paid any attention to him.

At this time, Yuan Shang came over and said, "Father, the war is urgent now. I see General Wen being chased by Zhu Ye and he is in a very bad state. After all, his injuries have not healed yet. He is definitely not Zhu Ye's opponent if he relies on his own strength. It is better to transfer Lu Bu and let him join forces with General Wen to fight the enemy."

"Lu Bu?" Yuan Shao hesitated.

"His injury is more serious than Wen Chou's. I'm afraid he can't go into battle?"

Yuan Shang smiled and said, "General Lu is strong. Although the injury is serious, his bones and muscles are not broken. It's just that the sharp spikes on Zhu Ye's sledgehammer scratched his leg, which makes it difficult for him to move. But it's just a flesh wound. After three days of rest, he is basically fine. Although the military doctor said that it would take more than ten days to recover, but now is a dangerous time for soldiers to fight. If we can't repel Liu He, let alone recovering from the injury, I'm afraid Lu Bu's life will be at stake."

Yuan Shao nodded in agreement when he heard this. "Well, my son has made a thorough plan. As the saying goes, 'If the skin is gone, the hair will not stay.' If our army is defeated, he will naturally have no place to stand. Not bad, not bad. Send the order to summon Lu Bu immediately to fight Zhu Ye together with General Wen."

Lu Bu rode his horse to the front of the battle formation. Looking at Zhu Ye who was very excited about hunting down Wen Chou, he felt filled with resentment.

"This Yuan Shao is really abominable. He knew that my injury had not healed yet, but he still sent me to fight Zhu Ye. Speaking of Jizhou's generals, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Lan, and Zhang He are all incompetent. They can't even deal with Zhu Ye, and they still want to deal with Liu He. It's really wishful thinking. It seems that I have to find another way out."

He felt the dull pain in his legs and quickly began to think about his future.

Seeing that he didn't move, Yuan Shao hurriedly urged him, "Lü Bu, what are you doing standing there? Why don't you hurry up and kill the enemy?"

Lu Bu stopped complaining in his heart, patted his horse, and charged towards Zhu Ye.

When Wen Chou saw this, he was overjoyed and shouted quickly: "Fengxian, come and save me..."

"Fengxian?" When Zhu Ye heard him calling this name, he was a little puzzled at first, but then he reacted and hurriedly looked behind him.

"Lu! Bu!"

Zhu Ye instantly became like an angry lion, with such murderous aura that even though Wen Chou was several steps away, he felt a chill in his heart.

"Death!"

He simply left Wen Chou behind and turned to kill Lu Bu.

Seeing this, Lu Bu was shocked: "Damn it! Wen Chou, quickly join forces with me to kill this Liao!"

Wen Chou rolled his eyes, wondering whether to take the risk or not. Yuan Shao shouted from a distance, "Wen Chou, Lu Bu, you two must chop off Zhu Ye's head, otherwise don't come back to see me."

Upon hearing his military order, Wen Chou knew he had nowhere to hide and could only grit his teeth and chase after him.

"System prompts, Zhu Ye is fighting against Wen Chou and Lu Bu. Zhu Ye's basic strength is 98. The King of Soldiers, King of Armor and mount have increased by 5 points in total. The special skills 'Courage', 'Golden Hammer' and 'Thunderbolt' have been triggered, and the strength has increased by 13 points in total. The current comprehensive strength is 116 points."

"Lü Bu's basic strength is 104. Due to his injury, his strength is reduced by 5 points. His weapons and armor have been repaired, and his strength is increased by 2 points in total. His special skills 'Unparalleled' and 'Ji Sheng' are activated. Because he is currently fighting against Zhu Ye, he only has fear in his heart, but no hatred, so his strength is increased by 7 points in total. His current comprehensive strength is 108 points."

"Wen Chou's basic force is 97. Due to his injury, his force is reduced by 3 points. His weapons, armor, and mount are increased by 3 points in total. His special skill 'Strong' is triggered, increasing it by 4 points. His overall force is 101 points."

Zhu Ye was not afraid of the two of them attacking from both sides. "Humph, you are just a clown. I can take care of 20 of them with one hammer, not to mention two. You bastard Lu Bu, watch out for the hammer!"

The silver-armored beast suddenly jumped high and jumped over the heads of several soldiers. Zhu Ye's two hammers took advantage of the downward momentum and smashed down with a tremendous force.

Seeing this, Lu Bu's face turned pale, knowing that he could not resist at all, he exerted force with his hands and actually pulled the horse's head to the side. The horse, which had originally been running towards Zhu Ye, immediately changed direction and ran to the other side.

As he dodged, Zhu Ye's two hammers missed his target, and he became even angrier.

"Don't leave, the thief!"

Just as he was about to catch up, a gun suddenly stabbed at him from behind. Zhu Ye noticed it and slightly turned his body, and the gun tip brushed past the armor on his waist.

"Humph!"

Zhu Ye snorted coldly, leaned back, pulled one foot out of the stirrup, raised it high forward, and kicked the spear head that Wen Chou had thrust out. Wen Chou put away his spear, and the horse continued to gallop past Zhu Ye.

Immediately afterwards, Wen Chou and Lu Bu turned around almost at the same time and attacked Zhu Ye together.

Both of them are top-notch generals of the day. Even though they are not as good as Zhu Ye and are injured, when they join forces, Zhu Ye cannot easily defeat them for a while. The three of them use hammers and spears to attack, and halberds to block hammers, and soon they have fought for twenty rounds.

"Report... Urgent report... Urgent report from the Baibo Army..."

A voice suddenly sounded, and the person's tone was very urgent. He shouted this sentence repeatedly, and soon it was heard by almost everyone on the battlefield.

Yuan Shao's face immediately became overjoyed: "Good, the news about the Baibo Army has finally arrived. Liu He, I wonder if you can still survive this time?"

Yuan Shang cupped his hands in congratulations: "I congratulate you in advance, father, on conquering Bingzhou, seizing Sili, and accomplishing the great cause of our Yuan family!"

At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, Liu He was also smiling.

"Well, this time is about the same as I estimated. It seems that Gongming and Zijing are doing well."

I saw a man riding a horse, galloping along the mountain road from the direction of Jizhou, and soon ran to Yuan Shao's side.

Yuan Shao looked at him with a smile: "How is it? Did the Baibo Army take action?"

The messenger panted and said, "My lord, the Baibo Army... the Baibo Army..."

"Alas, such a small matter, why do you panic so much? Why don't you report the battle situation of the Baibo Army?"

Yuan Shang was more concerned about Xu Huang's movements than his father, so he hurriedly urged him.

After taking a few breaths, the messenger said, "The Baibo Army stationed in Yanmen and Taihang Mountain suddenly changed their flags and attacked our Jizhou. Xu Huang and Qian Zhao raised the banner of rebellion and said they wanted to suppress...suppress the rebellion..."

"What!" Yuan Shao and his son were both shocked, and their four eyeballs almost popped out.

"Xu Huang, Qian Zhao, you two dogs, how dare you deceive me like this!" Yuan Shao was furious.

"This... this... this... how is this possible..." Yuan Shang couldn't believe that the Baibo Army, on which he had placed high hopes, actually had wolfish ambitions and a huge conspiracy as Shen Pei had said.

The messenger continued, "The 20,000 soldiers and horses in Taihang Mountain joined Guan Yu's heavy cavalry, and went out of the Taihang Mountain and went straight into Changshan. In just one day, they captured the two cities of Shangai and Jingxing in Changshan. The three cities of Yuanshi, Puwu and Lingshou also surrendered. In addition, Mr. Shen Pei and Mr. Tian Feng, they... they..."

Yuan Shao shouted, "What happened to them? Did they surrender to Guan Yu? Damn, these two villains, I should have killed them long ago!"

"No, they did not surrender to Guan Yu, but... they surrendered to Gongsun Zan in Beiping. The two of them suddenly went to Zhongshan, claiming to be sent by the lord. After the second son led his troops to Huguan, the two of them took over the defense of Zhongshan. After faking the opening of the city gate, they... led Gongsun Zan's 40,000 troops to move in. Now the entire territory of Zhongshan has been completely taken over by Gongsun Zan..."

"What? You bastard...hateful, hateful... wooooa ...

Yuan Shao was so angry that he spit out blood and fell off his horse.

"Father……"

"Lord..."

Yuan Shang and others hurriedly helped him up.

"Quick, retreat, retreat!" Yuan Shang shouted anxiously.

Seeing the Jizhou troops retreating quickly, Liu He was delighted: "It seems that my second brother and the Baibo Army have succeeded. I am afraid that Zhongshan and Changshan have fallen into our hands. Pass on my order, the whole army will pursue and not let Yuan Shao return to Yecheng!"

"Here!"

The generals were eager to try and were about to send out their troops when suddenly the cry of a golden eagle was heard in the sky. Liu He looked up and his face changed.

"Eagle urgent message? What could make the Eagle Guard use this golden eagle to send a message? Is there something wrong?"

While Liu He was thinking, the golden eagle quickly landed and landed on his shoulder.

He took the urgent message off the golden eagle's leg, took just two glances at it, and fell into extreme shock.

"how is this possible?"

Xun You asked doubtfully: "My lord, this is..."

Liu He said hesitantly: "Gongsun Zan suddenly sent troops to attack Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, seven days ago. He had planned for a long time and launched a surprise attack with 50,000 troops. Liu Yu was defeated. In just a few days, Gongsun Zan captured most of the cities in Yuyang, Shanggu and Daijun. He approached the city of Zhongshan in Jizhou. Shen Pei and Tian Feng actually became Gongsun Zan's internal supporters and opened the city to surrender. The Baibo army was not prepared and rashly went to attack. As you can imagine, they were naturally defeated..."

"Huh? Is this true?" Xun You was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time.

Liu He suddenly woke up: "Stop the pursuit immediately and gather all the troops. Don't launch another offensive until this matter is thoroughly investigated!"

Liu He would not be surprised if anyone in Jizhou betrayed Yuan Shao. Instead, he would take this opportunity to strike back. However, it was Shen Pei and Tian Feng. No matter in the original history or in the intelligence he had collected over the years, these two people were loyal people. They betrayed Yuan Shao for no apparent reason and defected to Gongsun Zan. This puzzled Liu He, so he instinctively felt that there must be something fishy going on.

The military order was quickly passed down. Zhu Ye watched Wen Chou and Lu Bu escape but was ordered to retreat. He was very angry and was about to come back to ask Liu He for permission to pursue them alone, but when he saw the serious expressions of Liu He and Xun You, he quickly realized that something was wrong.
