In the Three Kingdoms period, the opening scene features the killing of Huang Gai, shocking Zhou Yu!

Head north,

Cao Cao assigned Xiahou Yuan, Yue Jin, and Xu Huang to defend Xiangyang.

As for the main force, it has already arrived in Ye County.

It's only a few hundred miles from here to Xuchang.

We're completely safe now.

There were no more pursuers, and no more mud.

There was no longer Zhang Fei, who could jump out of the roadside bushes at any moment.

The military camp was set up right by the river.

Having endured the hellish ordeal of the Battle of Red Cliffs, Cao Cao's army was finally nearing home and could finally relax.

They buried the pot and cooked a meal.

Slaughtering sheep and cattle.

Some even hummed folk songs from their hometown.

In front of the central command tent.

A crowd of people surrounded them, three layers deep.

They all craned their necks, trying to squeeze inside.

Their eyes were filled with excitement, and they were still placing bets.

"I'm betting on General Xu! That's a tiger-like fool! The kind of guy who can pull two oxen backwards!"

"I'm betting on General Zhao! Haven't you heard of catching the spear bare-handed at Huarong Road!"

"Really? You're kidding, aren't you?"

"I saw it with my own eyes! General Zhao is like a god descended from heaven!"

Right in the center of the circle

There was a person sitting there.

Cao Cao.

He held a bowl of wine in his hand, watching the scene with a smile.

I'm in a great mood.

This healthy internal competition is something he is happy to see.

What kind of general is a military commander if he doesn't fight?

In the field.

On the left is Xu Chu.

Before Zhao Yu arrived, he was Cao Cao's most valiant general, nicknamed "Tiger Fool".

His injuries sustained at Chibi have fully healed.

He was shirtless, revealing his muscular physique.

His eyes were fierce, and he was holding his breath.

On the right, Zhao Yu.

A rising star in Cao Cao's camp, serving as the Tiger Guard General.

He also took off his armor and was wearing a thin linen jacket.

Compared to Xu Chu's iconic potbelly.

Zhao Yu appeared to be "slender".

But those in the know understand that the most powerful combination is the kind of lean, muscular build with a thick layer of fat. Those that are lean and muscular are particularly difficult to heal from a single blow.

However, Zhao Yu cannot be judged by ordinary standards.

Zhao Yu was expressionless, and even looked like he was about to yawn.

"Zhao Yu".

"It's said in the army that you are the reincarnation of the ancient evil spirit."

"I don't believe you're stronger than me."

Xu Chu was a straightforward person; he used to be Cao Cao's only bodyguard.

Now, Zhao Yu has suddenly appeared.

Not only did they take his job (keeping watch at night) away from him.

He even rose to become Cao Cao's number one warrior, stealing his title.

The key point is, this guy is a surrendered general. Even though you saved your lord,

Xu Chu was still unhappy.

Very upset.

Zhao Yu looked at Xu Chu.

[System Scan: Xu Chu.]

[Combat Strength Assessment: S-Rank (Top-Tier Warrior)]

[Special Skill: Naked (Defense decreases, Attack power increases by 200%).]

【Superhuman Strength: Pulling Nine Oxen Upside Down (Passive)】

[Current Status: Maximum Desire for Challenge.]

Zhao Yu sighed.

"General Xu."

"We're all colleagues, why bother?"

"The Prime Minister is watching! It won't look good if we lose."

Xu Chu's eyes widened.

"lose?"

"I'll lose?"

"Today, we'll not compete with weapons, but with sheer strength!"

"Whoever loses has to pour the Prime Minister's foot bath water from now on!"

Cao Cao stirred things up from the side:

"Great! This is a good omen!"

"I approve!"

"Stop it here, don't ruin the harmony."

Xu Chu roared,

"Come!"

He struck a pose.

His feet gripped the ground like an old tree with roots firmly planted.

Full of oppression.

Zhao Yu flexed his wrists.

He would never throw away the foot bath water.

Judgment: Wrestling/Gangling.

[Power Modification: Activated.]

[Center of Gravity Lock: On.]

"please."

"roar!"

Xu Chu made his move.

Like a tank, it charged forward.

What's with all this fancy talk?

It was a brutal collision.

If that hits hard, it could break your face.

Zhao Yu did not dodge.

Slump your shoulders.

They went to greet them.

"Bang!"

A cloud of dust rose from the ground.

The two collided.

The struggle begins.

Xu Chu's face turned bright red, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

He's putting in his effort.

He wanted to push Zhao Yu down, or simply pick him up and throw him out.

"rise!"

However, it remained still.

No matter how much force Xu Chu exerted, how angry he roared, or how much he pushed and shoved.

Zhao Yu didn't even flinch.

The soldiers watching were stunned.

"General Xu's face has turned purple, why isn't General Zhao reacting?"

"This stance is too solid, isn't it?"

Xu Chu grew anxious.

He felt as if he was pushing not a person, but an iron pillar.

"Wow!"

"Give me a name!"

Xu Chu changed his posture, intending to use a tripping tactic to hook Zhao Yu's leg.

Zhao Yu smiled.

"General Xu, haven't you eaten?"

These words are extremely insulting.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chu immediately abandoned his defense and put all his weight on the attack.

He attempted to crush Zhao Yu with his weight.

be cheated!

"It's my turn."

Zhao Yu said in a low voice,

Then suddenly he released one hand and reached under Xu Chu's armpit.

His other hand grabbed his belt.

[Power Burst: Tenfold.]

Use your waist to generate power.

Under the watchful eyes of thousands of people in the entire army,

Xu Chu was lifted up.

Holy crap!

Someone shouted something.

The entire venue erupted in cheers.

"It's up!"

"Lift up the tiger cub!"

Xu Chu was in the air,

Senseless.

He was kicking his legs erratically.

But there was nowhere to turn for help.

This weightlessness is something you can't control.

It made him feel afraid.

Zhao Yu wasn't in a hurry to throw it away.

I've spun around twice, let me show you.

Cao Cao stopped the wine bowl in his hand at his lips.

I forgot to drink.

Eyes lit up.

"good!"

"Truly a divine being!"

That's enough.

Zhao Yu stopped.

Throwing it out would be too disrespectful.

He slowly squatted down and placed Xu Chu back on the ground.

"Thank you for your concession."

Zhao Yu clapped his hands.

Xu Chu landed, his legs feeling a little weak.

It swayed a couple of times before it regained its balance.

The redness on her face faded, turning pale, and then back to a blush of shame.

Lost.

We lost completely.

There is no excuse.

He is weaker than others, and his lower body is inferior.

If Zhao Yu had just thrown him to the ground...

That's even more embarrassing.

Xu Chu was a rough man.

There is one advantage to being a rough person.

To admit defeat.

Whoever has the biggest fist is the boss.

Xu Chu walked up to Zhao Yu.

It went straight down with a "plop".

Kneel on one knee and clasp your hands in a fist.

He shouted loudly,

"I'm convinced! I, Xu Chu, am convinced!"

"General Zhao's strength is beyond my reach!"

"A bet's a bet!"

"From now on, I'll pour the Prime Minister's foot-washing water!"

The audience cheered.

"good!"

"General Xu is a true man!"

"General Zhao is mighty!"

Cao Cao laughed loudly.

They walked off the stage.

He grabbed Zhao Yu with one hand and Xu Chu with the other.

With a beaming smile, it's time to step in and smooth things over.

"OK!"

"With Zhongkang (Xu Chu) by my side, I am like a fierce tiger; with Zhao Yu, I am like a greedy wolf guarding my door."

"With a tiger-like madman on my left and a tiger-like guard on my right! What do I have to fear from the lords of the world?"

"I'll just pour the foot bath water myself; how could the general do such a thing?"

"I'll reward you two with ten jars of fine wine. Tonight, you two can drink to your hearts' content!"

Zhao Yu and Xu Chu exchanged a glance.

Xu Chu grinned foolishly.

That honest and simple charm is back.

"Hehe, thank you very much, Prime Minister!"

"Brother Zhao, I'll treat you to dinner tonight! Teach me how you practiced that move just now!"

Zhao Yu nodded.

"No problem."

"Eat more meat, talk less."

Xu Chu "?"

Why does this sound so strange?

But it's alright, the strong always have a point.

……

Late at night.

The banquet ended.

Zhao Yu drank quite a bit, but he had an alcohol immune system and his eyes were clear.

Xu Chu was drunk, and he was fast asleep outside the tent, clutching a wine jar.

He kept muttering, "I'm not convinced... I'll try again next time..."

Zhao Yu stepped over Xu Chu's thigh.

Enter the central command tent.

Cao Cao was still awake.

I'm reading a book.

Records of Beauties of the Cao Family

Zhao Yu came in.

Cao Cao put down the book.

He waved.

"come over."

Zhao Yu walked over and sat down.

"Prime Minister."

"Zhao Yu!"

"Today's battle."

"Your prestige in the military has been established."

"Even Xu Chu is impressed by you. From now on, the soldiers of the three armies will regard you as if they were seeing me."

Boss Cao is indeed still very suspicious.

Zhao Yu lowered his head.

"I wouldn't dare. I am the Prime Minister's soldier, and my prestige was given to me by the Prime Minister."

Cao Cao was very satisfied with this answer.

He pulled a token from his pocket.

It has a tiger carved on it.

Tiger tally.

It's not the kind of troop mobilization.

It is the highest authority to mobilize the "Tiger Guard Army".

"Take it."

Cao Cao tossed the token to Zhao Yu.
