Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After the Shouchun War, Cao Cao granted various titles to meritorious officers, including Sun Jian as Yangzhou Shepherd, his descendant Sun Ce as Jiujiang Prefect, Zhou Yu as Kuaiji Prefect, and Jiangdong generals such as Zhou Tai, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Zu Mao, etc. also had their own awards.  Liu Bei also had other civil and military officials, and Cao Cao also offered rewards. However, the rewards for Liu Bei's faction were far less generous than those for Sun Jian's faction. Zhang Fei was quite critical of this, and he even got so impulsive that he asked Cao Cao to argue with him on several occasions.  , but Liu Bei tried his best to stop them.

    The power of Yuan Shu, the giant crocodile in the south, was officially declared extinct. Most of his troops, horses and territory were divided into Nanyang and Runan counties by Cao Cao and Sun Jian and fell into Cao Cao's hands. As for Sun Jian, he gained a lot and took over all the land in Yangzhou.  With Cao Cao's title, he legitimately assumed the position of Lord of Yangzhou. Liu Bei, who also made a lot of contributions in the annihilation of Yuan Shu, received almost no actual reward except for some nominal rewards, not even an inch.  No land was obtained

    Liu Bei could only endure this. After all, he was not like Sun Jian, who had nearly 100,000 soldiers. At present, his forces only had less than 20,000 soldiers. It was difficult to even protect himself. How could he dare to ask for anything from Cao Cao, a peerless hero? Moreover,  Liu Bei vaguely felt that once Yuan Shu's hostility from Cao Cao was eliminated, Cao Cao's power expanded to the south, and the person he had to deal with next was most likely himself.

    Liu Bei was wary of Cao Cao. As soon as the war in Shouchun ended, he said goodbye to Cao Cao and led the army back to Xuzhou. Cao Cao didn't stay for Liu Bei much. He just said a few words of comfort and then let Liu Bei lead the army to withdraw.  Shouchun

    "Haha, it seems that Liu Xuande has discovered the lord's hostility. He is in such a hurry to return to Xuzhou, so he must seize the time to beware of the lord's army approaching the border."

    Not long after Liu Bei left, Guo Jia's handsome figure appeared. Cao Cao was carrying his back. Although he didn't see anyone, when he heard the uninhibited laughter, Cao Cao knew who was coming.

    "Fengxiao, Liu Da'er is not an idle person, but he has a reputation of benevolence and righteousness. He has countless fierce generals around him, and he has accumulated a lot of experience. Given time, he will be able to soar into the sky. If he doesn't take advantage of his momentum, he will be destroyed.  There will be endless troubles¡±

    "My lord has a very high opinion of this person. It's a pity that Liu Xuande doesn't have any great strategists around him, which is doomed to make it difficult for him to achieve great things." Moreover, Liu Xuande met a powerful crocodile like my lord when he was not yet successful. It can be said that Liu Xuande was unlucky.  "

    Guo Jia walked lightly with a faint smile. Cao Cao slowly turned around, his thin eyes shining brightly.

    "Time, luck, and destiny are all people's destiny. They are full of variables. How can we predict this time as well as others? Although you and I have made careful arrangements, I always feel that Liu Xuande's fortune is not over yet."

    "Oh? Chen Gui and Chen Deng, father and son, have been persuaded by the lord to surrender. The Chen family in Xuzhou is so powerful that it can be said that Chen Yuanlong is extremely resourceful. With the help of these two father and son, how can Liu Xuande survive?  "

    Guo Jia's bright eyes filled with wisdom opened slightly. Guo Jia asked with a bit of surprise, but Cao Cao just smiled indifferently, and then replied

    ¡°It¡¯s ridiculous to say it, I just feel that way¡±

    "Feel?"

    Guo Jia murmured quietly, and then the two of them stopped talking, as if they were both thinking about something.

    At the same time, outside Tan City in the East China Sea, Cao Jun was swarming towards Tan City like a huge wave. Groups of Cao Jun were either climbing ladders, carrying wooden piles and banging against city walls and gates, or piling up  The shield wall withstood the influx of arrows fired at the city wall, as well as the rolling logs and boulders that kept flying down.

    On the wall of Tan City, Tai Shici's face was extremely solemn. Cao's army had been attacking for more than ten days, and nearly half of the five thousand soldiers and horses under his command had been depleted. If no reinforcements came to save Tan City, Tan City would be destroyed in just a few days.  Cao Jun breaks through

    "Come here, why haven't there been any replies from Guangling yet?"

    Taishi Ci suddenly shouted loudly, and a soldier hurriedly came to reply.

    "General Taishi, the last general has sent three teams to Guangling in accordance with your order in the past few days. I don't know why, but there has been no reply from Guangling so far. General Taishi, don't worry. Maybe Chen Zhubo has been raising troops and horses, and they will arrive soon."  Arrive¡±

    "Bastard, the military situation is urgent now. Tancheng is in danger. The longer the war drags on, the more dangerous it will be. Please quickly write another letter and lead the army to Guangling in person. Tell Chen Yuanlong that if his troops have not arrived in five days, Tancheng will be in danger."  It will definitely be defeated by Cao¡¯s army.¡±

    Taishi Ci glared and roared harshly, his tone full of impatience]

    "General Ruo Mo will prepare this immediately"

    "There is no need to delay. In half an hour, I will lead the army to cover you."

    Although Taishi Ci did not appear to be too panicked on the surface, he was actually very anxious on the inside. Given the current battle situation, it would be lucky if Tancheng could hold on for three days, let alone five days. The soldiers hurriedly received the order and left quickly. Taishi Ci narrowed his eyes.  Narrowing his eyes, he summoned two more soldiers and asked them to take charge of the command. After giving the orders, Taishi Ci gave out several orders in a hurry.A team of soldiers left the city wall with him and went down to the city to prepare for leaving the city for cover later.

    Half an hour passed quickly. The east gate of Tan City, which was attacked by a small number of Cao soldiers, suddenly opened. Taishi Ci led a thousand cavalry troops and suddenly rushed out, heading towards the outside of the city. Cao Jun was killed and Cao Jun saw the city gate.  As soon as it opened, the wave of Cao Jun who was closest to the city gate immediately rushed toward the city gate crazily. Taishi Ci had a cold face, swung his spear, danced tightly, rushed into the crowd of Cao Jun, and stabbed everyone he saw.  As if he were entering an uninhabited land, the spear kept dancing in Taishi Ci's hands. The Cao soldiers around him let out shrill screams, and blood flew violently. Taishi Ci rushed left and right, killing Taishi Ci's bravery from all directions.  Under this, Cao Jun's crowd was quickly broken through, and the cavalry behind him rushed forward. Long spears were stabbing in all directions while the horses were galloping, killing back the groups of Cao soldiers who were rushing towards them.

    While Taishi Ci led the army to break through Cao Jun, a group of light cavalry took the opportunity to seize the road to an open space. Several generals of Cao Jun discovered that they immediately guessed that this light cavalry must be moving reinforcements, and quickly ordered their soldiers to stop Taishi Ci.  Several rays of light burst out from the tiger's eyes. He swung his spear and swept away the surrounding Cao soldiers. He then picked up the bow and loaded the arrow. The three arrows moved with the bowstring. Taishi Ci shouted, "The word ", the first arrow"  The arrow flew out suddenly, hitting one of the members of Cao Jiang in the heart. After that, Taishi Ci shouted the word "take" again, and the second arrow flew through the air, like thunder, and hit another member of the army.  General Cao's head

    Taishi Ci shot two Cao generals to death in an instant. The other Cao general who was commanding his soldiers to stop the light cavalry was so frightened that he dared to command his soldiers again. He pulled his horse's head and retreated.

    "How can a cowardly person accept his fate?"

    Taishi's loving voice was like thunder, and the third arrow was shot out quickly. The arrow flew through the air so fast that it was hard to see its shadow. Not long after General Cao escaped, he was overtaken by the arrow and had no time to escape.  The arrow suddenly pierced the armor behind him and flew straight out of his heart.

    Taishi Ci¡¯s superb archery skills intimidated the entire audience. The remaining generals in the field did not dare to say a word, for fear of being stared at by Taishi Ci¡¯s terrifying tiger eyes.

    On the other side of the battlefield, Cao soldiers came to report to Xia Houyuan, saying that a group of light cavalry had escaped from the east gate, and because an enemy general who was good at archery was covering the army, the soldiers on the east gate were difficult to stop. If Xia Houyuan did not make arrangements, he would just  I'm afraid that the team of light cavalry will soon escape ten miles away from Tancheng, making it difficult to pursue them.

    "It seems that the general who is good at arrows must be Tai Shi Ci"

    ??

    After half a stick of incense, Taishi Ci was still leading his troops to fight at the east gate. He saw the light cavalry team behind him escaping into a dense forest. He was about to withdraw his troops and return to the city. Suddenly, there was a loud sound that broke through the air. Taishi Ci's face suddenly changed.  Change, immediately swing the spear and stab it in the back

    With a bang, the spear collided violently with an unknown object that was extremely fast. The unknown object exploded and countless wood chips flew away. Taishi Ci's pupils shrank suddenly, he retracted the spear, quickly picked up the bow and arrow, and pointed towards it.  The location where the unknown object flew from just now fired three arrows in succession.

    Three arrows lined up in a line and flew away, piercing directly towards Xia Houyuan's position.

    "Xiahou Miaocai"

    "Taishi Ziyi"

    Tai Shici and Xia Houyuan shouted each other's names almost at the same time. At the same time, their tiger eyes and fighting spirit surged, their aura became stronger and stronger, and they both exuded an extremely astonishing aura of power.

    After finishing their words, the two men moved so fast that their hands flew into the air. In a flash, five arrows appeared on the bowstrings of the two men. The two bowstrings were drawn under the tiger arms of the two men, forming the shape of a full moon.  , making a loud buzzing sound

    Tai Shici and Xia Houyuan both held their big bows horizontally, and their five fingers on the bows were released almost at the same time. They saw the five arrows in their bows flying through the air like thunder and lightning.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    The five arrows fired by the two men all formed horizontal planes and flew into the air. The surrounding soldiers quickly avoided for fear of being affected by the ten arrows. In an instant, the ten arrows collided violently, and seven or eight sounds were erupted in succession.  There was a loud noise, like a huge hammer that was hitting the sky and the earth frequently. As the arrows smashed, hurricanes were set off, and several arrows flew past. Only two arrows were seen opposite Taishi Ci.  When the arrows came, Taishi Ci shook his body and hurriedly avoided it. Two arrows grazed his armor, and two sparks burst out. As for Xia Houyuan, an arrow flew towards Xia Houyuan with an astonishing speed.  Xia Houyuan shouted loudly, quickly grabbed the gun that was stuck on the ground next to him, and pierced the arrow with the arrow. Even so, the power of the arrow shot by Taishi Ci was really terrifying. Xia Houyuan's expression changed slightly.  There was a bloody opening in the tiger's mouth, and there were bursts of pain.

    Tai Shici and Xia Houyuan looked at each other from a distance. In the fight just now, the twoNeither of them took advantage of each other. In terms of archery skills, the two of them can be said to be equally matched.

    In a moment, two sharp and powerful momentums suddenly erupted from the majestic bodies of Taishi Ci and Xia Houyuan. Taishi Ci took out a huge arrow from the quiver on his back. This big arrow was several times thicker than ordinary arrows.  , was specially made by Tai Shici. Xia Houyuan, who was on the opposite side, also grabbed a handful of small arrows from a grid in the quiver behind his back. These small arrows were smaller than ordinary arrows and were also specially made by Xia Houyuan.

    The two people set up their bows and loaded arrows one after another, and their momentum became stronger and stronger. In their eyes, they saw countless purple beams of light gathering from the bow and arrow in Taishi Ci's hand, and at the same time, they turned into a huge purple Kun Dapeng.  , I vaguely seemed to hear the roar of countless wolves. On Xia Houyuan's bow, huge black wolves galloped towards me, looking up to the sky and howling.

    Taishi Ci fiercely pulled the bow string, and the big arrow flew out from the string. The purple Kun Dapeng spread its wings and rushed towards Xiahou Yuan like lightning, with the power of swallowing the sky.
