Chapter 190 Yuan Shen is awesome
Inside Yuan Jun's tent.
General Yan Liang hosted a banquet for Chen Feng, praising Chen Feng for smashing Xu Huang into a pulp with a meteorite. He also said that after capturing Baima, he would definitely ask his lord to report to the court and promote Chen Feng.
Of course, given that the current emperor is still in Cao Cao's hands, it was actually Yuan Shao who gave it to him.
"Perhaps he can be promoted three ranks in a row, skipping the ranks of Commander and Captain, and leaping straight to Colonel!"
"Damn, after all this time, I'm not even a junior from school."
In contrast to Yan Liang's optimism, Chen Feng was drinking alone, filled with worry.
Despite losing three generals, judging from the world chat, Cao Cao not only did not retreat, but also sent reinforcements from Xuchang.
So who was the person who gave Cao Cao such confidence that he could defeat Yan Liang?
That's so hard to guess!
Chen Feng sighed, thinking to himself, "Stop, Liang'er, the outside world is full of red-faced, long-bearded generals."
But he only dared to think these words in his heart. Given Yan Liang's loyal and devoted character, it was impossible to persuade him by force.
At this moment, the captain of the personal guards entered the tent and asked the two generals if they wanted to eat some delicious roasted rabbit.
"Got it!"
Chen Feng squinted, a plan suddenly forming in his mind: "I'm a member of the Cihang sect. If force doesn't work, can't I at least resort to underhanded tactics?"
Thinking of this, Chen Feng pulled the captain of his personal guards outside and asked him if he had any croton seeds.
"Yes, I have!"
Croton seeds were first recorded in the Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica during the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is around this time.
Chen Feng once heard a crosstalk performance that said Yu Qian's father, Old Master Wang, had consumed a large amount of croton seeds, which caused him to have so much flatulence and diarrhea that everyone in the room fainted.
In a cultivation world, this trick would indeed be of little use, since even the lowest-level Qi Refining cultivators can use their magic power to expel poison and become immune to most mortal poisons.
But this is a mythical Three Kingdoms universe, where specialization is extremely unbalanced.
Just like the five sons of Yuan Shao a while ago, they were clearly superhuman beings with fighting spirit, but they were taken away by a skin disease like scabies.
Because "Peach" can only restore health, it cannot remove negative status effects!
So, Brother Yan Liang, I'm sorry!
Chen Feng sneered as he placed the drugged rabbit onto Yan Liang's plate: "This meat is incredibly delicious; you must try it!"
Yan Liang said憨憨地, "Thank you!"
After a few rounds of drinks...
Yan Liang got drunk and insisted on dragging Chen Feng into a sworn brotherhood: "We don't ask to be born on the same day, month, and year."
"I don't even ask to die on the same day, in the same month, in the same year," Chen Feng added to himself. Then he looked around and realized that in this era, sworn brotherhood seemed to only require sacrificial rites and incense burning, without needing to offer any other prayers.
If you can worship Guan Yu, he might protect you and let you go.
Chen Feng was lost in thought when he suddenly heard a rumbling sound from his stomach.
The medication is taking effect!
After Yan Liang left in a hurry, Chen Feng sent his personal guard captain to gather information.
After a while, the captain of the personal guards returned, covering his nose, and said that General Yan Liang had squatted more than a dozen times and was so dehydrated that he wished he could cover his buttocks with the latrine: "General Yan Liang is completely hopeless."
That means he'll become a diligent shit-poop king.
Chen Feng nodded in satisfaction: "You did a great job! When I get the reward money for killing Xu Huang, you can take it all and find a stable place to live."
"Does the general not trust me?"
Upon hearing this, the captain of the personal guards immediately knelt down, declaring that he would never reveal what had happened today. He said if the captain didn't believe him, he could swear by the Luo River or commit suicide.
Why are people in this world so loyal?
Chen Feng waved his hand: "You misunderstood. I suddenly had a bad feeling. Since you don't want to leave, then help me pick out two good horses so we can run away at any time."
"middle!"
And so, the next day arrived.
Since Yan Liang had finished his work, Yuan Shao had no choice but to replace him with Wen Chou.
Upon hearing this news, Chen Feng smiled helplessly: "Is Yuan Shen out of his mind? Sending only one person at a time? Does he have to send them one by one?"
Not long after.
A burly man in embroidered robes and golden armor, with a face like a mythical beast, led several followers to the camp.
The so-called Xie Zhi is a unicorn in ancient mythology, which is completely black and extremely brave.
Chen Feng quickly stood up: "General Wen Chou!"
Wen Chou was also a straightforward and tough man: "Haha, General Chen, no need to be so polite! Yan Liang and I are like brothers, and you are Yan Liang's brother, so we are all brothers!"
Although Chen Feng was not familiar with Wen Chou, he did not want him to die, so he warned him: "General Wen Chou, if you see any red-faced, long-bearded men in Cao Cao's army, be very careful."
At this moment, a soldier reported that someone outside was challenging them.
It's true what they say, speak of the devil and he appears!
Because the area around Baima is all flat plains and open fields.
Therefore, under the protection of soldiers, Chen Feng and Wen Chou went to a nearby hill and set up camp to observe the enemy's formation.
Chen Feng pointed to Cao Cao's brightly colored and well-organized troops below the mountain and said, "Cao Cao's army is so magnificent."
If Yuan Shao's Hebei troops were generally at the standard level of breaking through walls, then Cao Cao's troops were at the level of strong breaking through walls.
Wen Chou scoffed, "In my eyes, they're just like clay chickens and earthen dogs."
Why does this sound so familiar?
In the Three Kingdoms era, divine sense is not very useful.
Chen Feng gazed into the distance and suddenly spotted a man. He reminded him, "That man riding a big red horse, with a green robe and a long beard, holding a sword and standing on his horse, is Guan Yu, the younger brother of Liu Bei."
He was the one who killed Hua Xiong back then. His record is verifiable. If you don't believe me, just open the world channel and go to the section on the Eighteen Warlords' Campaign against Dong Zhuo.
Wen Chou remained disdainful: "In my opinion, Guan Yu is nothing more than a target for sale!"
Wait a minute, this isn't your word, is it?
Chen Feng was surprised.
Wen Chou continued, "Don't worry, for Liu Bei's sake, I will spare his life."
The word "death" had just left my lips.
Suddenly, a red slash was heard from the distant army formation.
"Traitor, where do you think you're going!"
A loud shout, as clear as a bell, reached my ears.
With a soft "poof".
Chen Feng's face was covered in blood. He turned his head and saw that Wen Chou, who had been bragging just now, suddenly had his head fall to the ground, and he and his armor were split in two.
The world issued a simultaneous announcement:
Guan Yu has slain Wen Chou, breaking through the enemy's defenses! The Crouching Dragon has emerged from seclusion!
Unrivaled! Taking heads from ten thousand troops!
What just happened?
Chen Feng was stunned.
From Guan Yu's perspective, the story of Guan Yu slaying Yan Liang and Wen Chou is practically a feel-good tale.
Think about it, Guan Yu was a surrendered general, yet he was so highly regarded by Cao Cao, who rewarded him with the Red Hare horse, gold and silver, and so on. Which of those who had fought alongside Cao Cao for many years was not jealous?
At this time, Cao Cao, the number one leader, encountered Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and those who were jealous of Guan Yu were all killed without exception.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Guan Yu made his move, instantly killing Yan Liang and Wen Chou. He not only humiliated all the critics, but was also granted the title of Marquis of Hanshou, bringing glory to his ancestors. It was incredibly satisfying!
However, if you are from Yan Liang and Wen Chou's perspective.
That would be a bit scary.
Chen Feng and his men were on the earthen hill. Not to mention the distance from Guan Yu, there were also 100,000 elite soldiers between them and the road.
That's 100,000 elite troops!
Even if there were 100,000 pigs and 100,000 steamed buns, Guan Yu would still have to eat them for half a month.
But Guan Yu, right in front of Chen Feng, bypassed thousands of troops and, as easily as taking something out of a bag, instantly killed one of Yuan Shao's top four warriors, a powerful warrior of the "Explosive Street" level!
What kind of skill is this?
Chen Feng quickly looked at the Mythical Three Kingdoms System, where he saw the following text:
【Martial Saint (Standard): You can convert all your health, defense, and mana into attack power】
Chen Feng knew this; it was exactly the same as the Guan Yu blessing in his 1.0 system.
The key points are the following two.
[Martial Saint (Unlocked in Mythical Three Kingdoms System 5.0): Enemies attacked by you cannot dodge]
【Strategist Saint (Unlocked with the 7.0 Mythical Three Kingdoms System): Your first three attacks deal true damage and ignore any defenses below the multi-level. After three attacks, you are forced into a state of severance.】
I go!
Is the multi-level judgment unavoidable, undefendable, or a true damage?
Who could withstand this? Even the savior would get slapped twice.
Chen Feng looked up and saw Guan Yu riding Red Hare, standing beside him.
"Having defeated a thousand generals and returned victorious, what difficulty is there for me?"
Deng Deng Deng!
The thought that Guan Yu still had two more blows to strike made Chen Feng's underwear sweat a little.
Just as Chen Feng was about to throw the shark sword to launch a sneak attack.
Guan Yu suddenly picked up Wen Chou's head and said, "Next time we meet on the battlefield, I, Guan Yu, will show no mercy!"
Having said that, he charged forward and rode Red Hare back to Cao Cao's camp.
This is?
Chen Feng was still wondering when he suddenly heard a new skill notification: [Severance of Righteousness: You will force your opponent to let you go].
Oh, so even such an amazing skill has its limitations.
Before Chen Feng could even catch his breath, he saw Cao Jun taking advantage of the situation and charging towards them.
Chen Feng's side lost its commander, and its morale collapsed, making it impossible to resist. If Chen Feng hadn't secretly knocked out one of the soldiers and thrown a meteorite behind them, they would have been completely wiped out.
Upon returning to Liyang on the other side of the river, Yuan Shao was furious to see that half of his 100,000-strong army had been wiped out. He ordered his executioners to take Chen Feng out and behead him.
If it weren't for the pleas of Chen Feng's fellow Henan natives Shen Pei and Xu You, Chen Feng would have become cellmates with Tian Feng.
Afterwards, since Yan Liang was still exhausted, Yuan Shao sent another of the Four Pillars of Hebei, General Gao Lan, with 100,000 troops to attack Baima.
The strategist Ju Shou objected, saying, "Victory is already a foregone conclusion; why rush things?"
But Yuan Shao wouldn't listen at all.
During this time, Liu Bei found Chen Feng and said indignantly, "This defeat is not the general's fault. Without General Chen, let alone 50,000 soldiers, even 5,000 might not have returned. Moreover, the general killed the great general Xu Huang, and should have been rewarded, not punished!"
Chen Feng said helplessly, "You're right, but that's just Yuan Shen. He's outwardly kind but inwardly suspicious, fierce in appearance but cowardly in reality. Having such a lord makes me want to go practice holding my breath in the water for three hours."
At this point, Chen Feng suddenly remembered: "You'd better leave quickly, or you'll be finished too."
But it was too late.
Gao Lan has been killed by Guan Yu!
Guan Yu accomplished his military merits and left Cao Cao's camp.
"How dare you, you big-eared thief!"
Upon hearing the announcement, Yuan Shao was furious and sent men to have Liu Bei executed.
Chen Feng was speechless after hearing this.
Now that Guan Yu has repaid his debt of gratitude and is ready to surrender, if you kill Liu Bei, won't you be making an enemy of Guan Yu?
Liu Bei indeed explained that Guan Yu was no longer in Cao Cao's camp, and that if he sent a trusted confidant to write a secret letter to Guan Yu, Guan Yu would surely come to surrender overnight.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao burst into laughter, then changed his expression and said, "With Guan Yu, I am ten times better than Wen Chou and Gao Lan."
Chen Feng felt disgusted. Although what he said made sense, it was too heartless and ungrateful. Wen Chou and Gao Lan died for him, and he just pretended that they never happened.
But before Liu Bei wrote the letter and prepared to send it.
Chen Feng secretly used his movement skills to bypass the soldiers, found Liu Bei, and told him to leave quickly and not to come back.
Liu Bei's eyes reddened, and he said that the world was so vast that there was nowhere to go.
"Why is there nowhere to go?"
First Lu Bu, second Zhao Yun, third Dian Wei, fourth Guan Yu, fifth Ma Chao, sixth Zhang Fei.
Chen Feng sent Liu Bei to Runan, where he could encounter Zhao Yun, the second most powerful warrior in the land after Lü Bu's death, Zhou Cang, the number one tank in the Three Kingdoms who survived three spear thrusts from Zhao Zilong, as well as the lost Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.
It's not much better than here.
"Thank you for your guidance, General!"
After Liu Bei left, Chen Feng began planning what to do next.
Originally, he planned to help Yuan Shao win the Battle of Guandu and crush Cao Cao, but now he thinks it would be an outrage to let that idiot Yuan Shao win. So Chen Feng decided to settle for second best and find a good opportunity to defeat Cao Cao, comprehend the power of time and space, and then leave.
Cao Cao did indeed have a chance to be alone.
In the later stages of the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao was on the verge of collapse due to food shortages. At this time, Xu You, who was frustrated and disillusioned, betrayed Yuan Shao and joined Cao Cao, revealing the location of Yuan Shao's granary, Wuchao.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, to ensure absolute success, Cao Cao would personally lead a small force to launch a surprise attack, and that was the best opportunity.
"I'll bring my good brother Yan Liang along to ambush him then."
"If I can't beat Guan Yu, can't I beat you?"
As Chen Feng was pondering this, he suddenly heard someone outside report that Yuan Shao had raised an army of 700,000, leading generals such as Yan Liang, Zhang He, and Chunyu Qiong, as well as strategists such as Shen Pei, Ju Shou, and Xu You, to fight a decisive battle against Cao Cao at Guandu.
Goodness, so now they know it's a full-scale attack.
At the moment when the two armies were facing off.
Chen Feng gazed into the distance and saw that in Cao Cao's direction, there were many fierce generals, and the banners and halberds were very well arranged.
Two of them were acquaintances.
One was Chen Feng's close friend, Jia Xu, who was equally cunning.
One is Zhang Liao, who stole the savior's weapon and wields the crescent halberd.
"Damn it, I'd better hide the weapons."
As Chen Feng sheathed his weapons, he remembered that the equipment enhancement system had guaranteed he could handle Guan Yu, so he asked, "What were you doing when Guan Yu arrived?"
[The equipment enhancement expert said, "Boss, judging by Guan Yu's stance, if I were to dismantle his weapon, I'm afraid you'd be chopped into a bloody mist."]
It's not that big at all.
Chen Feng was speaking.
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out: "Archers, prepare to fire!"
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Yuan Shao had pointed his small finger and begun to strike: "Die, all of you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fighting spirit of 700,000 troops converged, and in the void, it was as if a million bowstrings were drawn at the same time. Then, a million arrows gathered into a dark cloud that blotted out the sun and flew towards Cao's army.
A barrage of arrows!
Faced with Yuan Shao's rain of arrows, some of Cao Cao's soldiers used their fighting spirit to protect themselves, some raised their shields, and some turned and ran.
But it didn't work.
With a muffled thud.
Cao Cao's army was thrown into chaos. People were shot in the face, knocked off their horses, and pinned to the ground.
Yuan Shao activated his skill, Rampage: He can unleash a rain of arrows using all his fighting spirit. The number of arrows is equal to the total number of creatures on the field, with no upper limit (even if the number were equal to the total number of creatures in the entire universe).
A noble family has no need for teammates.
Seeing Yuan Shao single-handedly rout Cao Cao's army, Chen Feng couldn't help but give him a thumbs up:
Yuan Shen, you're awesome!
