Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 714: Qing and Xu are in danger
Liu Bei shouted behind him: "Third brother, be careful, don't be reckless!"

However, once Zhang Fei entered the battlefield, he was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. How could he still listen?
"Haha, don't worry, big brother. I'll bring back that dog head of Cao and I'll make sure that you get promoted."

Zhang Fei himself was dark in color, and he rode a black horse and charged into Cao's camp alone.

His 10-foot-long steel spear was just like the soul-catching chains of a soul-catcher. In a blink of an eye, dozens of Cao's soldiers were killed by this spear.

Liu Bei watched Zhang Fei merge into the enemy army and suddenly became anxious.

"Quick, charge forward. If my third brother goes deep into the enemy's territory alone, he might be killed by the enemy."

Jiang Huan did not hesitate. He pointed his spear forward and his army advanced rapidly. In a blink of an eye, they were fighting with Cao's rear army.

On the city wall, Tao Qian and others were overjoyed.

"Mr. Xuande has lived up to my expectations. He is truly a man of integrity and righteousness. Xuzhou is saved. Xuzhou is saved."

Among the few people, only Chen and his son had worried looks on their faces. They did not believe that Cao Cao would be completely unprepared for Liu Bei's arrival.

However, they were on the city wall, watching Zhang Fei charging at will among Cao's army. Several generals of Cao's army went to stop him, but without exception, they all died under Zhang Fei's spear.

Cao Cao's 20,000 rear troops were also scattered by the troops led by Liu Bei and Jiang Huan.

Cao Cao hurriedly ordered Xiahou Yuan's cavalry to be transferred to the rear to intercept Liu Bei.

Xiahou Yuan aimed at Zhang Fei who was rushing in the front and shot an arrow.

"Third brother, be careful!" Liu Bei exclaimed.

"Whoosh..."

Another sharp arrow appeared out of nowhere and knocked Xiahou Yuan's arrow away.

"Xiahou Yuan, your opponent is me!"

Taishi Ci led the cavalry and suddenly charged out, standing in front of Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan's eyes lit up: "It's you? That's great. That night, we were still undecided. Let's fight again today. Look at the arrows!"

Xiahou Yuan and Taishi Ci were fighting each other, and for a while, it was evenly matched between the two. However, he led more than 7,000 cavalry, which was more than Taishi Ci's 2,000 cavalry, so he quickly gained the upper hand in the battle.

However, because of his departure, the group of Xuzhou soldiers who were besieged outside the city immediately began to break out.

Mi Zhuxi said happily: "Look, my lord, Cao's army can't take care of both ends, they are already stretched to the limit, and the defeat is inevitable."

"That's right, that's right. The three brothers of Lord Xuande are truly the bravest warriors of our time, and can be compared with the former general. With Lord Xuande here, Xuzhou can be saved."

Tao Qian was very happy and looked much more relaxed.

The two sides fought for half a day until the sun was setting, when Cao's army called off the battle, leaving behind a field of corpses outside the city.

Tao Qian hurried down from the tower, shouting as he ran: "Quick, open the city gate and welcome Lord Xuande into the city..."

At night, a grand banquet was held at the governor's mansion.

Tao Qian no longer had a sad expression on his face, his face was flushed and he kept toasting.

"If Lord Xuande had not come here today, Xuzhou would have been in danger and the people would have been in danger. On behalf of the people of Xuzhou, I would like to thank Lord Xuande and the three generals."

Liu Bei replied, "You are too polite. You are known for your kindness and will not harm Cao Cao's father. In my humble opinion, Cao Cao's revenge is fake and he is taking advantage of the opportunity to seize Xuzhou. How can I sit back and do nothing?"

Tao Qian was pleased: "Good, good. With Lord Xuande here, I have nothing to worry about."

"Hey, old man, you are too stingy. You are so stingy with just a little bit of wine. Why don't you get a big jar and drink it all? This small bowl of wine is really not pleasant."

Zhang Fei's steel-needle beard was covered with wine drops, showing that he had drunk a lot, but he still looked unsatisfied.

Liu Bei immediately pulled down his face and said, "How dare Yi De'an be so presumptuous?"

Jiang Huan said with a smile: "Third brother, if you get drunk, how can you fight Cao's army tomorrow? It's better to drink less."

Zhang Fei refused: "No, I won't do that. I, Zhang, will only have strength when I am very drunk. The more I drink today, the more courageous I will be in the fight tomorrow."

"You..." Liu Bei was angry and was about to blame, but was stopped by Tao Qian with a smile.

"Hahaha, I've heard for a long time that General Zhang Yide is a man of high spirits. Today I see that he is indeed so. Come, bring three jars of freshly brewed wine, and drink with General Zhang."

Zhang Fei smiled as he heard this: "Ha, thank you, Governor Tao." At this time, Chen Deng said: "My Lord, General Liu, I see that Cao Cao is good at using troops and has many tricks. When General Taishi attacked at night that day, Cao's army was well prepared. General Liu rushed to Xuzhou to help, and Cao's army had already known about it a few days ago. With Cao Cao's character, he will never be without precautions, so we still need to be careful."

"Hey, be careful? Be careful for nothing." Zhang Fei picked up the wine jar, took a big sip of wine, and then started yelling.

"What's the ability of that Cao thief? I, Old Zhang, seem to be just ordinary. Wasn't he defeated and fled today by my charge... oh no, my eldest brother's charge? You wait and see, tomorrow I will chop off his head with my own hands. Oh, yes, Ziyi, you have to kill Xiahou Yuan tomorrow as well. With such a great achievement in front of you, how can you not take it?"

Taishi Ci smiled helplessly: "How dare Ci'an disobey the orders of the three generals? Xiahou Yuan's spear skills are slightly better than mine, but I am slightly better at archery. I have my own way to defeat him."

"Haha, okay, I'll tell you. A few thieves like Cao are nothing to worry about..."

He was halfway through his words when the jar of wine was once again to his lips. Before he uttered the last word "哉", the sound of wine going down his throat could be heard.

After being disturbed by this, Chen Deng could no longer say what he was about to say. His face turned dark and he sat back down.

Liu Bei glanced at Chen Deng and scolded Zhang Fei, "Yide, don't be rude! Yuanlong is a great scholar of our time. What he said makes sense. He also made plans for us. I am very grateful."

Seeing how sincere and courteous he was, Chen Deng's displeasure immediately disappeared.

"Uncle Liu, you are too kind. I admire you very much for coming from afar to save Xuzhou. I don't want you to fall into the evil scheme of the thieves, otherwise everyone in Xuzhou will feel guilty."

Tao Qian also said: "That's right, that's right. Cao Cao is cunning, Lord Xuande must be careful..."

Tao Qian's words were interrupted by a soldier who suddenly ran in from outside the door.

When Liu Bei saw that this was his own scout, his heart suddenly sank.

"Why are you panicking?"

When he asked this question, everyone at the banquet put down their food and wine and focused all their eyes on the scout.

"My lord, the day before yesterday, Xiahou Dun suddenly led 40,000 troops to attack from Taishan County. As of noon today, he has captured the three counties of Dongwu, Zhu, and Ju in Chengyang County."

"What? Cao Cao actually sent people to seize my second brother's Chengyang County?"

Zhang Fei was the first to jump up.

"Damn it, this villain is so bold. Big brother, second brother, wait for a moment, I will lead the troops back and kill him. I will not come back to see you until I have poked a hundred holes in Xiahou Dun."

He threw the jar of wine to the ground and was about to go out.

"Come back!" Liu Bei shouted loudly, and Jiang Huan also stepped forward quickly and pulled him back.

"Why are you stopping me? Cao is such a hateful thief, why don't you let me deal with him?" Zhang Fei felt very aggrieved.

Jiang Huan said in a deep voice: "It's probably too late to leave the city now."

Zhang Fei was very puzzled when he heard this: "What does this mean?"

Jiang Huan shook his head and pushed him back to his seat.

"Mr. Chen Deng just said that Cao Cao had long been on guard against the arrival of my three brothers. Now it seems that Xiahou Dun's troops are his backup. If they occupy Chengyang, they will cut off our retreat. Now there are more than 100,000 Cao troops outside the city, and they must have surrounded the city."

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier ran over and said, "Reporting to the Lord, Cao's army suddenly left the camp in full force, with Cao Ren, Yu Jin, Le Jin, and Li Dian leading a group each, and surrounding the four gates."

"Hiss..." Everyone was shocked by Cao Cao's move.

"First they lure the snake out of its hole, then they catch it in a jar. It's really smart. Now we're in trouble..."

Chen Deng frowned and looked worried.

Jian Yong said, "It seems that during the day, Cao's army deliberately pretended to panic and retreat, in order to get the lord to lead his troops into the city so that he could besiege us in the city."

Zhang Fei ignored him and said, "So what? Watch me, Zhang, fight my way out of the city and break their siege."

"Report..."

Another soldier came running over in a hurry, and when everyone saw him, their hearts skipped a beat.

"Report to the Lord, Cao Cao's younger brother Cao De has led 30,000 troops from Xiao County and has now invaded Xia Pi!"

"This... Cao thief has bullied me too much... I am a commoner in Xuzhou... I..."

Tao Qian was so angry that he fainted immediately.
