Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 992 Liu He's Divine Skills
Dian Wei couldn't help but become anxious when he saw the army chasing him aggressively from behind.

"Xu Chu, you take the lord ahead, I will go and stop the pursuers."

"Dian Wei, you can't..."

Cao Cao hurriedly wanted to call him to stop, but Dian Wei's legs were so strong that he jumped out before he could finish half of his sentence. When Cao Cao wanted to call him to stop, Dian Wei had already rushed out twenty or thirty steps away.

"Zhu Ye, you are defeated. Come and die."

Dian Wei ran straight towards Zhu Ye, roaring in provocation.

Zhu Ye had always bullied others since he followed Liu He into battle. Who would have thought that he would be beaten by Dian Wei and Xu Chu today? Now he was provoked like this. How could he bear it? He immediately swung his double hammers to fight back.

"You are such a thief, you are so arrogant. I will chop you up and beat you to pieces."

Zhu Ye shouted angrily, and the double hammers and double halberds began to fight together.

"System prompt: Dian Wei's basic force is 102 points, weapons and armor increase by 2 points in total, triggering the special skill 'bravery', increasing force by 4 points. In addition, Cao's army is currently in crisis, and the current crisis level will increase Dian Wei's force by another 2 points."

"The special skill 'Infantry Combat' is triggered. Dian Wei is currently fighting alone, so his military strength is increased by 5 points."

"Dian Wei is currently fighting to protect Cao Cao, so the 'Personal Guard' skill is triggered, and his force is increased by 3 points. In addition, Cao Cao's life is not threatened for the time being, so the additional 2 points of force are not triggered."

"Dian Wei's current comprehensive force is 118 points."

When Zhu Ye was about to fight him with all his strength, he was blocked by Liu He.

"Fifth brother, the Thunder God Cavalry is as fast as lightning and is the most suitable for chasing Cao thieves, but it cannot be without your leadership. I will leave Dian Wei to you, eldest brother."

Zhu Ye understood immediately and looked very happy: "It seems that big brother has improved his martial arts after being in the tower for so many days. Well, big brother said that he can deal with him, so it must be right. I will go."

Although he has not experienced the upgraded Wuhun Tower, he benefited a lot from the Jingsi Tower in the backyard of the county government when he was in Langtiao County. Liu He said that the ancestors of the Han Dynasty would bless him in the tower, and Zhu Ye believed it without a doubt. When Liu He announced that he would enter the tower to pray for a blessing, he guessed Liu He's intention.

Therefore, after Liu He said this, Zhu Ye did not hesitate at all. He shouted to the five hundred Thunder God Riders, bypassed Dian Wei, and went straight to Cao Cao.

But how could Dian Wei let him go? He stayed behind to cover the rear in order to stop Zhu Ye, the most powerful general in the enemy army. If he caught up with Cao Cao, Xu Chu alone would definitely not be able to deal with him.

"Zhu Ye, are you going to desert?"

He grasped the short spear tightly in his right hand and was about to throw it towards Zhu Ye, but was interrupted by a sudden attack.

"Dian Wei, your opponent is me."

Dian Wei turned his head to look, and what he saw made him feel surprised, happy and angry.

"Liu! He!"

Liu He looked at his gnashing teeth, as if he wanted to eat him alive, and couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, I don't owe you anything. When your wife came to Luoyang, I secretly asked Hua Tuo to treat her with the royal medicine. Not only did you not know how to be grateful, but because of some misunderstandings and the slander of Cao thief, you repeatedly made things difficult for me. You simply couldn't tell right from wrong."

Dian Wei didn't listen to his words at all. He swung his two iron halberds and attacked directly at the vital part of Liu He's chest.

"Humph, you don't know what's good for you. Then I'll let you see what it means to 'be treated with new eyes after three days of absence'."

Liu He patted his horse, swung the Yang Ming Po Ni Zhan, and started fighting with the pair of iron halberds.

"System prompt: Host vs. Dian Wei. Host's basic force is 101 points, the King of Soldiers, King of Armor, and mount are increased by 5 points in total, the special skill 'Strange Soldiers' is triggered, and the force is increased by 5 points."

"The host has mastered a new skill - Divine Power: Born with divine power and can use it appropriately and with subtle control. During combat, the martial power is increased by 4 points, and the martial power of the opponent who is less powerful than himself is suppressed by 2 points."

"The host has learned a new skill - Destiny: a special skill exclusive to the host. The strength of all the generals on the battlefield is collectively increased by 1 point, and the protagonist's own attributes are increased by 2 points. The strength of the generals who are encouraged by the protagonist is increased by 1 point again. A maximum of 3 people can be encouraged at the same time."

"Affected by the special skill, the host's comprehensive force is 117 points. Dian Wei is not as strong as the host, so his force is reduced by 2 points, so the comprehensive force becomes 116 points."

Liu He was full of confidence. He had been in the Spirit Tower for such a long time this time, and not only had his attributes been comprehensively improved, but he had also learned these two new special skills, which was simply like adding wings to a tiger. Especially the "Destiny" special skill, which could be called a magical skill.

At this time, Ye Xiang and Zhang He jumped forward to help.

"Your Majesty's life is worth a million dollars, please let us capture this traitor."

Liu He shouted, "Stop. I am enough to deal with Dian Wei alone. You should hurry up and chase after Cao Cao with my fifth brother."

"This..." The two were still a little hesitant. If Liu He was hurt, they would be dead.

Liu He pulled his face and said, "Why, do you want to disobey my order?"

"I dare not do that. So... I obey your order."

The two had no choice but to give up Dian Wei, each leading their troops to follow Zhu Ye.

Dian Wei was overjoyed. He looked at Liu He with a fierce smile and said, "Humph, you came here to seek death, which is exactly what I want. As long as I kill you, my master can unify the world and achieve great things. For this, I, Dian Wei, will spare no effort. You will die."

Liu He shook his head helplessly: "Alas, it is difficult to return to the right path. In this case, I will grant your wish."

Yang Ming Po Ni Zhan struck out with all his might, and Dian Wei raised his double halberds to block it, but was shocked so much that his whole body felt pain.

"What a dog emperor! His martial arts skills seem to be even better than Zhu Ye's?"

However, Liu He did not give him time to think, and the second attack came in a flash.

Dian Wei quickly put aside all distractions and focused on fighting Liu He.

Both of them are the top warriors in the world today, with great strength and extraordinary martial arts. The two sides fought back and forth, and the battle was fierce and lasted for seventy or eighty rounds. Although Liu He had the upper hand, he could not do anything to Dian Wei.

At this moment, Zhu Ye's signature laughter was heard from afar: "Hahahaha... Cao thief, let's see where you can run to."

Dian Wei's heart tightened and he instinctively turned his head to look over. He saw that with the support of Ye Xiang and Zhang He, Zhu Ye led the Thunder God Cavalry to catch up with Cao's army. They were charging all the way and were not far from Cao Cao.

"Don't hurt my master..."

Dian Wei was extremely anxious and turned around to chase after him.

Liu He raised his eyebrows: "Want to leave? It's not that easy."

Yang Ming Po Ni Zhan slashed across, blocking Dian Wei's way.

Dian Wei shouted angrily: "Get out of here!"

The double iron halberds hit Yang Ming Po Ni Zhan fiercely, but his strength, although rare in the world, was still far behind Liu He, who was born with supernatural powers. Under this attack, Yang Ming Po Ni Zhan was almost motionless, and was instead hooked by Liu He and hit the blades of his double iron halberds.

"Get up for me." Liu He swung his hands vigorously, and the two iron halberds immediately broke away from Dian Wei's hands and were thrown far away by Liu He.

"Ah, my weapon..."

Dian Wei took a step forward and was about to chase after him.

Liu He waved the Yangming Poni Zhan and slapped it hard.

"System prompt: The host has triggered the temporary force burst in the 'Strange Soldier' ​​skill, and the force is increased by 3 points. The current comprehensive force is 120 points."

Yang Ming Po Ni Zhan hit Dian Wei's back hard, causing his huge body to fly forward and finally fall face down on the ground.

"Tie him up." Liu He waved his hand and more than a dozen soldiers rushed over. Before Dian Wei could even stand up, he was caught by three nooses and tied up tightly in the blink of an eye.

"Dog emperor...tyrant...I want...wuwuwu..."

A soldier tore off the corner of his clothes and stuffed it into his mouth.

Liu He glanced at Dian Wei and said, "Take him away. Hmm... put him in the cell next to Wei Yan for the time being."

About a hundred miles southwest of Ancheng is the city of Shenyang.

As the highest-ranking general in Cao's camp, Xiahou Dun was ordered to lead the army and besieged this place for nearly ten days.

At this moment, his army was still besieging the small town without attacking it. Over the past few days, Cheng Liang had led his troops out of the city many times to charge or launch night raids, but they were all easily repelled by Xiahou Dun.

"General." Li Dian walked up to Xiahou Dun and said, "We have been besieging Cheng Liang for so long. I wonder if the lord has made any progress. Although there is little food and grass left in the city, our army's food and grass are not abundant either. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on any longer."

Xiahou Dun was also very clear about what he said. In the previous battle, Cao's army's food and grass were destroyed, and Shenyang City was occupied, cutting off the road to Jingzhou for food. Although Cao Cao had been prepared and stored some food in several cities, it could not last long.

However, as the commander, Xiahou Dun still looked confident and comforted Li Dian: "Don't worry, my lord has already made a plan. This battle will definitely kill Zhang Yong and Gao Shun. Then our army can launch a real offensive. In one day, we can capture this city and open up the passage to Jingzhou. Naturally, we don't need to worry about food and grass anymore."

Li Dian's expression remained worried: "It's just that... the troops of Jingzhou were defeated in Shangcai City. I don't know..."

"Okay." Xiahou Dun interrupted him directly, and his tone became a little stern.

"There's no need to say more about these words that disturb the morale of the army. You are a general who has experienced hundreds of battles, so how come you don't know the limits?"

Li Dian showed an apologetic look on his face: "Yes, yes, I was anxious for a moment, please forgive me, General."

However, Xiahou Dun also said, "It is reasonable that the Jingzhou army would be defeated. After all, it is a southern barbarian land. How can such an army compare with our Central Plains soldiers? Humph, especially Cai Mao, who used to be arrogant. He is just a surrendered general, but he dares not take me seriously. This time, his Jingzhou troops suffered heavy losses. Let's see how he can be arrogant in the future."

Li Dian said with a smile: "After all, we are now in Jingzhou. The Cai family is a big family in Jingzhou and the first meritorious official who welcomed the Lord to Jingxiang. It is inevitable that they are a little arrogant. However, our army is weaker than the pseudo-imperial court in Luoyang, so we should unite first."

Xiahou Dun glanced at him and said, "General, I know this truth. Otherwise, how could I have endured Cai Mao until now? If it weren't for Meng De's great cause, I would have cut this unprincipled traitor in two. He was able to rebel against Liu Biao in the past, so how can we know that he won't betray our lord in the future?"

"Yes, yes, General Xiahou is considering the overall situation, so he will not be wrong." Li Dian has always had a kind personality, so at this moment he had no choice but to speak to comfort him.

After he finished speaking, he looked up at the sky and said, "General, the sun is about to set. Let's go back to the camp."

Xiahou Dun glanced at the city wall and said, "Well, Cheng Liang can't get out anyway, and I'm hungry, so let's go back and make a fire to cook."

The two men turned and left, but when they just returned to the military camp, they suddenly saw a man covered in blood, lying weakly on the back of a horse, galloping towards them.

"Xiahou... General Xiahou..."

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Dun hurried over. When he helped the man off his horse and saw the man's appearance clearly, he was immediately shocked.

"Lü Qian? Aren't you following the lord? How come you are here?"

When Li Dian saw Lü Qian's appearance, he asked hurriedly, "Did something happen in Ancheng?"

Lu Qian coughed a few times and said, "Ancheng... Ancheng has been lost..."

"What?" Their faces turned pale instantly.

"How is that possible? Didn't they say that if Wei Yan led his army to attack from the rear, Gao Shun would definitely be defeated? Why did our army fail instead, and was defeated so quickly? Gao Shun must be a god from heaven."

"Ahem...Wei Yan...Wei Yan..."

Lü Qian was halfway through his words when Xiahou Dun became even more anxious: "What happened to Wei Yan? Did that guy rebel? I knew long ago that these Chu barbarians are unreliable!"

Li Dian hurriedly advised: "General Xiahou, don't be anxious. Just listen to what he has to say."

Lü Qian panted and said, "Wei Yan...he...Zhu Ye...Zhu Ye...Liu He..."

After saying these few words, he fainted. Li Mang hurriedly supported him and checked his breathing.

"General Lu was seriously injured. It seems that the battle in Ancheng was very tragic."

After saying that, he waved his hand and called over a few soldiers, who carried Lu Qian to find a military doctor.

"How despicable!" Xiahou Dun stood up angrily: "How dare Wei Yan betray Meng De!"

"General Xiahou, General Lu hasn't finished speaking yet, so don't jump to conclusions."

"What else can I say? It must be that after Wei Yan's ambush on Gao Shun was defeated, he secretly colluded with Zhu Ye and defected to Liu He. He said he was attacking Gao Shun's rear, but in fact he turned the tables when the battle was fierce. How could Meng De defend himself? If not, how could Ancheng be defeated so quickly?"

"This..." Although Li Dian did not agree with Xiahou Dun's statement, he thought about it carefully and felt that this was the only explanation that could explain everything at the moment.

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Xiahou Dun became more convinced of his idea.

"How despicable! None of these Jingzhou soldiers can be trusted. Pass on my orders..."

When Li Dian heard this, he hurriedly stopped him and asked, "General, what do you want to do?"

Xiahou Dun pushed him away and said, "The lord is in trouble, so we should send troops to rescue him. What else can we do? After rescuing the lord, I will kill all these Jingzhou generals one by one to vent my hatred."

"No, General. Our army has been besieging Shenyang for many days. If we leave rashly now, Cheng Liang will surely lead his army to attack from the rear. Even if we then join forces with our lord's defeated army, we will be in a situation where we are pursued in front and have no way to retreat. Wouldn't that put our lord in a deadly position?"

Li Dian's words sobered Xiahou Dun up a little: "Then... according to Mancheng's opinion, what should we do?"

"In my humble opinion, no matter what the reason was for the defeat of Ancheng, it has already been defeated. The Lord will surely lead the remaining troops to retreat southwards. Our army must capture Shenyang City as soon as possible and open up the road to Jingzhou. Otherwise, once the Lord arrives, there will be no way forward. Wouldn't it be impossible to escape even if you have wings?"

"Okay!" Xiahou Dun said without hesitation: "Pass the order down, attack the city tonight. If you fail to capture Shenyang City today, I will put you all to military law!"
