Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 783 Step by Step
As the two were walking, they met three generals. When the three saw Guo Jia and Xiahou Yuan, they hurried over to pay their respects.

Xiahou Yuan was anxious, but he didn't care about them. He waved his hand casually and continued to jog forward.

Before they had gone far, they heard the three men chatting with each other.

"Those newly surrendered generals are really loyal. Even though they surrendered to our lord, they still wanted to go and guard Gao Shun's body. Wow, that's rare."

"I don't think they are loyal, otherwise why would they surrender? I think Gao Shun treated them well in the past, and they are grateful, so it's only natural for them to send him off in the end."

When Guo Jia heard their words, he was suddenly shocked and his eyes widened.

Then he turned around and quickly caught up with the three men.

"What did you just say? Who went to keep vigil for Gao Shun?"

The three men didn't understand what was going on and thought they had done something wrong, so they quickly knelt down.

"Reply...reply to Master Guo...it's...it's the generals named Ge and Huang who just surrendered to our army. Not long ago, they went to the mourning hall that the lord specially set up for General Gao, and temporarily sent all the guards to wait outside the door, saying that they wanted to keep vigil for General Gao..."

"Yes, I and the others did not intentionally leave our post. We just saw that there had been no movement in the house for a long time, and they all seemed to be fast asleep, so... so after obtaining General Cao Hong's permission, we came out and prepared to go... to the city to drink..."

Guo Jia was struck by lightning when he heard this. After a long while, he suddenly shouted, "Not good!"

In Chenliu City, just two streets away from the prefectural government office, there was a not very large mansion.

The original owner of this house is unknown, but now, an important person lives in it, or is placed in it - the imperial general Gao Shun who just died in battle.

Outside the mansion, teams of Cao's soldiers surrounded the house, while inside, there were only a few people standing in the main hall.

These people were not others but Deputy General Ge and his group who had previously claimed to surrender to Cao's army. At this moment, they surrounded Gao Shun's coffin, with excited and anxious looks on their faces.

"Old Ge, hurry up. The general has specifically instructed that this medicine must be taken within three hours. Now the time is almost up. We have finally tricked Cao's army out of the mansion. We can't delay any longer. Otherwise, if we lose the general's life, you and I will never be able to redeem ourselves."

The commander of the personal guards, General Huang, urged.

"Hey, I'll be there soon..."

Deputy General Ge looked very nervous, and he put his uninjured hand into his arms with some trembling.

"I hope this medicine works, but I hope nothing goes wrong..."

Another general beside him couldn't help but pat him on the back of the head: "What's wrong? You're such a scoundrel. The general has made it clear that this medicine was prepared by the great doctor Hua Tuo himself and was given by His Majesty. How could there be a problem? Hurry up and feed it to the general."

Lieutenant General Ge was slapped inexplicably, but he was not angry at all. He took out a small porcelain bottle, and General Huang helped to open the bottle cap. Lieutenant General Ge turned the bottle upside down with trembling hands.

A small black pill fell out of the porcelain bottle and landed in General Huang's palm.

For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on this small pill.

General Huang held the pills in both hands and walked to the side of Gao Shun's "corpse", cautiously, as if it was more important than his own life.

"Old Liu, pry the general's mouth open."

General Huang gave an order, and the general who had just slapped Deputy General Ge on the back of the head came over, stretched out his hand, and opened Gao Shun's mouth.

General Huang picked up the pill with two fingers and carefully put it into Gao Shun's mouth.

Afterwards, these people waited anxiously on the side.

"Why hasn't the general woken up yet? The general has lost consciousness. Could it be that he can't swallow the pills, so the pills are not effective?"

General Liu asked nervously.

Deputy General Ge said, "No, the general said that Mr. Hua Tuo's medicine melts in the mouth and there is no need to swallow it deliberately. I think it will take effect soon." General Huang stared at Gao Shun and couldn't help but hesitate.

"Is there really such a miraculous medicine in the world? After taking it, within three hours, the person's breathing slows down and his face turns pale, almost like a dead person. Then he takes another pill and he is back to normal? Could it be that the miracle doctor made a mistake?"

As soon as he said this, the other generals immediately cast angry looks at him, scaring him so much that he quickly swallowed back the rest of his words.

At this moment, Deputy General Ge suddenly exclaimed: "Look, the general is moving!"

Several people were suddenly surprised and delighted, and they all looked at Gao Shun. Sure enough, his eyelids and lips began to tremble, and then his fingers opened slightly.

"It works, this medicine really works, hahahaha!"

As they were all rejoicing, Gao Shun's eyes slowly opened.

"General, you finally woke up. I was scared to death."

Deputy General Ge was a real man, but he cried with joy at this moment. The other generals were also very excited.

Gao Shun seemed unable to adapt to the sudden fire for a while. He instinctively narrowed his eyes and looked at the people around him.

"General, how do you feel?" Deputy General Ge asked with concern.

Gao Shun smiled slightly: "It seems that the plan has been successful?"

Deputy General Ge clasped his hands together and said solemnly, "I am glad that you and I have fulfilled your mission."

General Huang said anxiously, "Hey, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and help General Gao up."

When they heard this, they realized that they were too excited and had forgotten the most important thing. They hurriedly stepped forward to help Gao Shun out of the coffin.

Gao Shun stepped back onto the ground, stretched his limbs and neck, and in the blink of an eye, he went from being a "dead man" to being a powerful general again.

"What is the situation in the city now?"

Deputy General Ge stepped forward and replied, "General, Cao Cao has already entered the city. They have been feasting and drinking tonight, and I'm afraid many of the generals have fallen asleep. The mechanisms at the four gates of the city are all controlled by our soldiers. Cao's army will not understand the key points for a while, so there is no need to be afraid."

Gao Shun nodded and said, "Does Cao Cao have any doubts about you?"

When talking about this, Deputy General Ge showed admiration on his face: "Your Majesty and the military advisor are indeed very good at predicting things. This Cao Cao is really suspicious. When I and others first expressed our surrender, he was happy to help us up personally. But General Huang followed the plan and hid behind me. When he winked at the other soldiers, Cao Cao immediately became suspicious. He originally wanted to persuade our soldiers to surrender and drive them out of the city overnight. In this way, he postponed the matter until tomorrow. He divided the more than 100,000 troops into five waves, stationed in four camps inside and outside the city, and each was guarded by a general of the Cao army."

"Yes, Your Majesty knows Cao Cao very well. He is sure that he will not choose to kill all our surrendered soldiers, but will pretend to win people's hearts. He will be suspicious of my surrender. Hey, if he really chooses to let our soldiers go, the soldiers who are unaware of the inside story will definitely flee overnight to the surrounding counties, and I and others will be invited to the banquet, unable to save the general. In this way, all plans will naturally fail."

"Not to mention you soldiers, even for us, the general only told us this plan when Xiahou Yuan arrived at the east gate. If not, I'm afraid we would have really believed that the general was dead, and the army would have been in chaos. How could we even talk about the plan of counterattack and revenge?"

"However, despite all his calculations, Cao Cao thought he had won a great victory, but he didn't know that every step he took was within Your Majesty's calculations. How could he not be defeated?"

Generals, at this moment your admiration for Liu He has reached its peak, and you can even say that you regard him as a deity.

Gao Shun said: "Your Majesty has a keen eye, great wisdom and courage, which is beyond our reach. Now that everything is going well, let's act immediately."

"As ordered!"

The group immediately split into two groups. Gao Shun and Ge and Huang hid in the corner behind the main hall, while the other generals ran to the gate and suddenly shouted loudly.

"Oh no...someone has defected...someone come..."

When they shouted, the guard at the door immediately opened the door and ran in.
