The Three Kingdoms: My Wife is a Great and Good Teacher

"After hearing the report from Generals Zhang and Cao, some of the princes who had just caught up with us showed signs of retreating. With such a will, Dong Zhuo only needs to send spies to instigate rebellion and alienate them, and he will most likely succeed."

"And my lord, you can't take action against them at this time, otherwise it will affect the morale of the army."

Liu Zhaoqing pondered for a moment and looked at Cao Cao: "What do you think, Meng De?"

Cao Cao had a calm expression on her face. She was dressed in a dark gown and had not shown any sign of panic since she learned that Dong Zhuo was sending troops from two directions to attack them.

As for what Liu Zhaoqing wanted to ask, it was about Jia Xu's concerns about the princes in the army.

Cao Cao said calmly: "No matter how many cattle and sheep are separated, they are still food for wolves and tigers."

This statement made Liu Zhaoqing laugh a few times, but he also completely agreed with Cao Cao's point of view.

"If we were in a standoff, we would indeed have to worry about being alienated, but the war has already started. If someone surrenders to the enemy at this time, that would just suit my wishes," Liu Zhaoqing said calmly.

Jia Xu, who was standing by, immediately understood that Liu Zhaoqing meant to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

If at this time any alienated princes jumped out to hinder the campaign against Dong Zhuo, then Liu Zhaoqing, as the leader of the alliance, would certainly have sufficient reason to hold him accountable or even execute him.

While they were talking, Liu Zhaoqing and others had already reached the top of the slope.

Looking at the distance in front of Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo's army had doubled in number than before and was still pouring out of the city gate.

Xun Yu couldn't help but tighten the reins in his hands, Jia Xu's expression was serious, and even Cao Cao couldn't help but look at him carefully.

They were not nervous or afraid, but they understood that this battle was related to the fate of Luoyang and even the entire world.

"My lord, the Yellow Turban Army has all assembled!" Zhao Yun came to Liu Zhaoqing on a white horse.

Liu Zhaoqing looked at the army in front of the city wall and tilted his head to the south: "I hope they can be successful there too."

-

On the other side, a large number of Dong Zhuo's troops appeared in front of Goushi County and Huanyuan Pass.

Under the cover of night, Dong Zhuo's army, dressed in silver armor, was like a wheat field made of silver, so densely packed that there was almost no end in sight in the mountain roads.

At this time, on the city wall of Goushi County, Guo Jia and Liu Bei were standing together, frowning as they watched this scene.

"So many... Is Dong Zhuo planning to swallow up the entire coalition in one fell swoop?" Liu Bei said in surprise.

Although she had been reminded by Liu Zhaoqing that Dong Zhuo might have a backup plan.

After all, he was able to hide his troops as grass, wood, or stones, and even possessed the ability to forge Lu Bu. If Dong Zhuo didn't set up an ambush or encirclement, then he must have no knowledge of military tactics at all.

Therefore, when the army left Yanshi County, Liu Bei, his two sisters and Guo Jia separated from the main force under the instructions of Liu Zhaoqing and chose to stay in Gaoshi County.

"At a rough glance, there are almost 20,000 ambush troops in front of us." Guo Jia said in a deep voice.

"The main force on the lord's side must have been tied up and cannot support us for the time being."

"On the surface, we have about 15,000 troops stationed in Goushi County, Huanyuan Pass, and Hulao Pass, but at least 10,000 of them belong to the princes and are unreliable."

"Of the remaining five thousand, three thousand are inside Huanyuan Pass, led by Madam Zhang. We only have two thousand here."

Liu Bei also realized the difficulty of the situation at this time. She whispered: "Madam Zhang doesn't seem to have any generals around her, and since we have ambushes on our side, there must be some on Madam Zhang's side as well."

"Two thousand against these two thousand. We cannot just stand there and defend. We must quickly support Huanyuan Pass..."

Liu Bei shifted his attention to the city. This kind of pressure could be said to be the greatest since her debut.

"Prime Minister Liu, please do your best. Our lord trusts you, and I will do my best to help you." Guo Jia saw that Liu Bei was tense at the moment and spoke to comfort him.

Nodding slightly, Liu Bei also understood that he had a heavy responsibility. If the defense was broken by these 20,000 enemy troops, then Liu Zhaoqing's main force would be attacked from both ends and would inevitably be defeated.

Behind this heavy responsibility lies Liu Zhaoqing's great trust.

"Let's defend against the enemy's offensive, and then look for an opportunity to defeat the enemy or take a detour to support Huanyuan Pass." Liu Bei said.

It sounds a bit exaggerated to use only two thousand soldiers to defend against twenty thousand enemies, but it also depends on the city that these two thousand soldiers are backed by, and who is leading them.

Under the city wall of Gaoshi County, a pair of red eyes met Liu Bei's gaze on the city wall.

The former nodded slowly, then turned his gaze back.

"Second sister, Zhao Qing is really an amazing person. He really has an ambush to steal our retreat." Zhang Fei exclaimed on the side.

"Zhao Qing himself is very intelligent, and he has counselors like Xun Yu, Guo Jia and Jia Xu around him. It's not surprising that he can predict the whereabouts of the thief Dong." Guan Yu said calmly.

"That's true." Zhang Fei, holding the Zhangba Snake Spear, touched his smooth chin and nodded.

Then she suddenly sighed: "There are more and more talented people around Zhao Qing. I wonder when we will have such great people like Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Zhao Yun around us."

"Second sister, do you think that since our eldest sister has such a good relationship with Zhao Qing, she might get some good luck and meet a strategist who is more powerful than Xun Yu on the road?" Zhang Fei said with anticipation.

"Don't joke when you're on the battlefield." Guan Yu ruthlessly broke her fantasy.

Then he looked at the army in front and said: "I will go to challenge them, Yide, wait for my message before taking action."

"Ah? Why don't you let me handle the challenge?" Zhang Fei said immediately.

"This is the order from my eldest sister. We need to defend the people in the city and the main army." After Guan Yu finished speaking, he rode his horse forward alone.

Although he wanted to rush out very much, as Guan Yu said, Zhang Fei also understood that whether Gao Shi could resist Dong Zhuo's army would affect the success or failure of the entire battle, so he had to give up.

Guan Yu here is not as reckless as Zhang Fei. While challenging the enemy, he is also trying to gather specific information about the enemy.

Under the cover of night, Guan Yu rode a black horse, trampling up the dust, and soon arrived at the open space in front of Dong Zhuo's army.

"Is there anyone in Dong's army who dares to fight me?!"

Guan Yu's deep shout immediately spread throughout Dong Zhuo's army. Although her voice was not as loud as Zhang Fei's, the aura of a strong man beneath her deep voice seemed to be overwhelming.

There are still many people who don’t know Guan Yu, but judging from his appearance and aura alone, no one doubts that Guan Yu must be a strong man.

After shouting that no one came to fight, Guan Yu snorted coldly.

"They are indeed a bunch of thieves, all of them are cowardly rats."

As soon as these words were spoken, a challenger actually rushed out from Dong Zhuo's army.

"How dare you, a long-haired girl, speak so arrogantly! Take this axe from me!"

The man held two axes, each of which weighed at least thirty pounds, and the purple light emanating from his arms also showed that he was an extraordinary person.

Is this the general of Dong Zhuo’s army?

Guan Yu was waiting for the great general.

She knew that there was a huge gap between the strength of Gao's army and that of Dong Zhuo's army. If she wanted to win, she had to behead the enemy generals and create a huge deterrent.

So when he saw this man coming forward, Guan Yu did not hold back at all and immediately used his strongest move in his normal state.

Waving the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, a dazzling green light flashed under the night sky.

The man rode his warhorse and passed by Guan Yu as if nothing had happened.

But in the next moment, everyone was horrified to find that the general of Dong Zhuo's army holding two axes was split into two halves along with his horse. After running a few times, they both fell to the ground, completely lifeless.

With just one strike, he killed the enemy's outstanding general.

Such strength made Zhang Fei in the distance cheer loudly, and also made Dong Zhuo's army gasp in shock, and their morale became a little unstable.

Guan Yu on the other side slowly put away his sword and looked ahead indifferently.

"This kind of chicken and dog is your general?"

No one dared to answer this time.

Under normal battle situations, in most cases there is no need to pay attention to the enemy general who challenges you, unless the enemy general is obviously too weak. Otherwise, a leader with a normal mind, especially one with an advantage in military strength, will choose to speak with his troops.

Instead of foolishly going into a one-on-one fight.

This "Grandpa Cheng" was just being impulsive, and since he didn't know Guan Yu, he thought that even if he couldn't beat him, he could still escape after the first round, so he stepped forward.

So even Guan Yu himself felt that the enemy would not advance any further.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a small commotion in Dong Zhuo's army.

Then, a sturdy man at least ten feet tall came slowly towards them on a slightly small horse.

Seeing this sturdy man and the obvious aura of a great man emanating from him, Guan Yu also put away his indifference.

"Are you Guan Yu?"

"you are?"

"Hua Xiong, the military commander under the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo."

Hua Xiong's voice was like thunder in the mountains, dull and loud.

The military governor is equivalent to the head of an army. In other words, the person in front of him is the commander-in-chief of this army of 20,000 people. No, it should be said that he is the commander-in-chief of the entire southern front.

Guan Yu also had a clear impression of the name "Hua Xiong" because this name appeared many times in talks between Liu Bei, Liu Zhaoqing, Cao Cao and others.

The general under Dong Zhuo who is second only to Lu Bu is him.

This man is not only powerful in martial arts, but also loyal. He has been following Dong Zhuo since he became powerful.

However, Guan Yu seemed a little confused at this time.

Even if such a general does not have such great wisdom, he should not do something to challenge me.

Unless... the other party is equally worried as we are.

The Gao family is the main force of Liu Zhaoqing's side and must not be lost.

As for Hua Xiong, he must break through this gate as soon as possible and form a pincer attack with Luoyang, so that he can quickly eliminate Liu Zhaoqing.

After the previous fight, Hua Xiong understood that Liu Zhaoqing was not a good-for-nothing like Han Fu. He had to quickly complete the order issued by the Prime Minister to ensure that the bandits could be defeated in one battle.

Although Guan Yu in front of him was a thorn in the side, for Hua Xiong, her challenge was also an opportunity to capture Gaoshi City in one fell swoop.

This person must be a general in the city, and the only one in the city who can threaten or compete with them is a high-level fighter like Guan Yu.

As long as Guan Yu is killed, Gaoshi City will naturally be quickly conquered.

Hua Xiong had a beautiful thought. He clenched the sword in his hand and showed the blade.

The moonlight fell on the cold blade and reflected on Guan Yu's face.

"Can I lend you something?" Hua Xiong asked coldly.

"What?"

"Your head."

"?"

Chapter 324: Unable to defeat Guan Yu, turned into a fierce one, Guan Yu Earth Spirit 4.2K

Guan Yu frowned slightly, but he was not angry at the arrogant words.

I was just a little curious about where Hua Xiong's confidence came from.

"I'm here, and I want to borrow someone's head to help me. Let's see if you have the ability to do so."

After saying that, Hua Xiong on the opposite side didn't say anything more. He clamped his legs against the horse under him and ran towards Guan Yu with the 80-jin sword in hand.

The back of the knife dragged along the ground, pressing a long, shallow pit into the grass, trees and soil wherever it passed, and everything it hit in its path was shattered to pieces.

Sparks were produced by the contact between the stone and the back of the knife, and Hua Xiong was like a majestic bull.

Coming towards Guan Yu, if he raised the sword in his hand, he would be unstoppable.

Faced with Hua Xiong's charge, most people would either panic or definitely choose to avoid the attack and dodge the first blow.

But Guan Yu did not dodge or evade. She raised the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in her hand and went straight towards Hua Xiong.

The two swords came into contact, and the resulting vibrations even made Liu Bei and others on the city wall take a step back.

Guan Yu and Hua Xiong, who were in the center of the battlefield, were scattered by one blow and switched positions.

It seems that neither of them gained anything in this first round.

However, Hua Xiong on the other side suddenly covered his chest and groaned.

In the fight just now, outsiders only saw their swords clashing and being dispersed in one blow, but in fact, the momentum and strength of the two men clashed in the swords in an instant.

At that moment, Hua Xiong seemed to feel that there was a giant beast as tall as a mountain stepping towards him.

His own "strong as an ox" strength was no match for it.

If Hua Xiong had not used the power of the two swords to quickly pull away, he would probably be in great danger now.

Looking up at Guan Yu, Hua Xiong was shocked to find that the other party had a calm expression, as if the previous attack was as easy as drinking tea to her.
