Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 784: Midnight Counterattack
A Cao army general looked at the panicked people and asked hurriedly: "What happened? Who defected?"

One of them grabbed his hand and shouted, "Something bad has happened... Generals Ge and Huang took advantage of our unpreparedness and suddenly knocked us unconscious. When we woke up, we found that they and General Gao's body were gone."

"Yes, yes, they must be pretending to surrender, but they actually want to take General Gao's body away. Go find him quickly."

The Cao army general was shocked when he heard this, and looked around, but sure enough, there was no trace of the two men.

"That's impossible. This house is surrounded by our troops everywhere. How could they escape?"

"Well, how can we find out? But we have been guarding the city for many days, and we have seen the two secretly going in and out of many mansions in the city. Maybe they have dug some tunnels or secret doors somewhere. We don't know. Anyway, we should search for them quickly, otherwise if the lord blames us, you and I will be blamed."

Seeing that these people looked terrified and there were indeed marks of being hit on the back of their necks, which did not look fake, the Cao army general also became panicked.

"This... this is a capital crime... Quick, take a hundred people to search everywhere in the mansion. I will personally lead the troops to search on my own. If you find anything, report it immediately!"

"promise!"

A Cao army leader with a hundred men rushed into the palace, while the general hurriedly ran out.

"Quick, you guys look over there, I'll look over here..."

After he led his troops away, the generals, who had originally looked panicked and frightened, suddenly smiled mysteriously.

Then they walked over, closed the door, turned around, and slowly walked towards the main hall.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly shouted: "Ah... there is... Wow..."

Before he could finish his words, a scream was suddenly heard, followed by the sound of a person falling to the ground.

"Who is it?" The other soldiers and the team leader hurried over.

At this time, Gao Shun walked out of the darkness with Generals Ge and Huang.

The captain's eyes widened immediately: "Gao...Gao Shun...is faking...his body is dead..."

Gao Shun waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, remember to do it cleanly and neatly."

"General, don't worry, hehe..."

Several generals, each holding a weapon, walked towards the hundred people with a grim smile...

At this moment, loud snoring sounds were heard from Cao Cao's bedroom.

Cao Cao had been tense and sleepless in the past few days, and he fought hard all day today. He was already exhausted. He just had sex with the beautiful young woman and soon fell into a sound sleep.

But he slept very soundly. The brothel girl, on the one hand, was inevitably nervous about serving such an important figure, and on the other hand, she was disturbed by his snoring and found it difficult to fall asleep, so she did not fall asleep for a long time.

Just then, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by someone knocking hard on the door.

"Meng De...something big happened..."

The brothel girl was already extremely nervous, and when she heard the noise, she became even more panicked and quickly reached out to push Cao Cao.

"General...General...please wake up..."

Cao Cao was sleeping soundly. He pushed her in his sleep, whispered something softly, and continued to sleep.

As the noise outside grew louder, the woman became more and more anxious, and pushed Cao Cao with greater force.

"General...General, wake up..."

Perhaps she shouted too loudly, or pushed too hard, Cao Cao was suddenly awakened from his sleep.

"Ok?"

He stared at the woman with his eagle eyes, which were full of anger and suspicion.

"How dare you, a lowly woman, disturb my sweet dreams?"

The woman was terrified and curled up in a corner: "I...I just saw some movement outside the door and wanted to...want to wake up the general..."

"Outside the door?" Cao Cao then noticed the noise outside and the sound of knocking on the door, and he became more and more confused.

"Why is there so much noise outside? Could it be that you, a bitch, have colluded with others to kill me?"

Cao Cao frowned and angrily confronted the woman, frightening her so much that her face turned pale. She quickly knelt and crawled over to beg for mercy. However, when Cao Cao saw her coming over, he thought she was really going to assassinate him, so he got out of bed without saying a word, and with a clang, he drew out the Qinggang sword that he had just regained after his victory today, pointed it at the woman's chest, and stabbed her with the sword.

"what……"

This poor woman never expected that her kind reminder to him would lead to such a cruel treatment. She screamed and died instantly on the couch.

When he saw her blood flowing out, Cao Cao instantly woke up completely. He looked at the woman lying in a pool of blood, then looked at the Qinggang sword in his hand, and couldn't help but be shocked.

"Why... why is this?"

At this time, Xiahou Yuan, who was outside the door, heard the noise inside and thought that something had happened to Cao Cao. He no longer cared about anything else and directly broke open the door, and saw this situation.

"Meng De, what are you doing..."

Cao Cao glanced at him, then pretended to be calm and composed: "It's okay, this woman was a spy who intended to assassinate me, and I have killed her."

Xiahou Yuan was shocked when he heard this: "What? Gao Shun's plan actually has such a plan?"

Cao Cao was very puzzled. How did a sentence he made up lead to Gao Shun's plan?

"Gao Shun? What plans does he have as a dead man? And why did you break into my bedroom in the middle of the night?"

Xiahou Yuan hurriedly said: "Oh, Meng De, our army has fallen into a trap. Gao Shun pretended to be dead, and now he has suddenly resurrected. The 30,000 Han soldiers imprisoned in the city were rescued by him and his men. They are now heading towards..."

Before he could finish his words, deafening shouts of killing suddenly rang out outside.

"Kill him...capture Cao the thief alive..."

"Your Majesty has promised that whoever takes Cao Cao's head will be granted the title of county marquis and a reward of a thousand gold coins!"

Cao Cao was so smart that he had guessed most of what had happened just by looking at the noise. He was shocked and horrified.

"How...how is it possible? Didn't you shoot Gao Shun with your own hands? Besides, I saw that he was indeed not breathing and his face was pale. He was definitely dead. How could it be fake?"

"Alas, now is not the time to investigate how he faked his death. Fengxiao and I saw with our own eyes that he led his men to kill his way out of the house where his coffin was placed. We saw it clearly. Now they have come here to kill their way. I heard that there were flames and shouts of killing in the camps outside the city. There must be spies who opened the prison door and released all the Han prisoners. This city is already in danger and we cannot stay here for long. Meng De, hurry up and leave..."

Xiahou Yuan didn't care how much doubt Cao Cao had and dragged him out of the room without saying a word.

The two men had just walked out of the room and had not yet left the courtyard when a group of Han soldiers rushed in.

"Cao Cao is here, brothers, come quickly..."

"Kill...capture Cao Cao..."

Cao Cao was already in shock, and at this moment he saw these Han soldiers, each of them was as fierce as wolves and tigers, looking at him with eyes that were like hungry wolves looking at lambs, extremely ferocious, and he was immediately frightened and shrank back.

Xiahou Yuan rushed forward, wielding his spear, and killed two soldiers who were charging at him in a flash.

"You want to kill Meng De, have you asked me, Xiahou Yuan?"

Although the hundreds of Han soldiers had witnessed Xiahou Yuan's martial arts and bravery with their own eyes, they were not afraid at all. They ran over and quickly surrounded him.

By this time, Cao Cao had recovered a little from his panic. Seeing that Xiahou Yuan was in trouble, he picked up his sword and was about to step forward, but was suddenly dragged away by someone from behind.

"Who dares to..."

Cao Cao turned his head and saw that it was Cao Hong.

There was a lot of blood on Cao Hong's body, obviously he had been in a fierce battle.

"Meng De, don't hesitate. The situation is critical now. We can all die, but Meng De cannot. Come with me quickly."

Cao Cao refused: "Miaocai is still in danger, how can I escape alone? Let's work together to rescue him first, and then we can leave."

He wanted to turn around and save Xiahou Yuan, but Cao Hong refused to let him.

"Meng De, the Han army is coming from all directions. Our soldiers are inferior to them in combat power, and now we are completely defenseless. We are no match for them at all. If we leave any later, our lives will be in danger. The world can do without Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan, but it cannot do without Cao Cao. Meng De, don't wait any longer, leave!"

As he spoke, he forcibly dragged Cao Cao and quickly evacuated under the escort of a team of personal guards.
