Chapter 397 Xu Chu and Xiahou Dun Are Promoted to Famous Generals, Gu Rubing Avoids Battle

Looking at the six-bead bodhisattva going away, Ma Chao knew in his heart that if he continued to waste time like this, their Xiliang cavalry would really be wiped out.

"Return to the camp!"

Ma Chao gritted his teeth and said.

The battlefield of Xiliang was like a quagmire, dragging Ma Chao in, trapped in it and unable to move. Not only Ma Chao, but also the few people fighting with Cao Cao were all in a bitter battle. They had never been able to attack and win in the past, but this was the first time they encountered such a big resistance. They failed to break through the opponent's defense line for a week.

At this moment in Xudu, Cao Cao was laughing heartily, and his laughter spread throughout the Prime Minister's Mansion, shaking off the clouds above the sky.

"Hahaha, good, now all of Liu Bei's troops are blocked outside by us, and Jingzhou is like fish on a chopping board, at my disposal. I believe that soon, Liu Bei's front line will collapse completely!"

Listening to the battle report sent back from the front line, Cao Cao felt like a spring breeze.

"Liu Bei, all your support has been stuck in the mud. I want to see how you can turn defeat into victory this time!"

"Father, I suggest that you should patrol the battlefield at this time to let the soldiers know that you are with them all the time. In this way, the morale of the army will be higher."

"Well, that makes sense. You are right. Prepare the sedan chair and set off today. This prime minister wants to comfort the soldiers on the front line!"

Cao Cao was at his happiest moment at this moment. He naturally agreed with Cao Pi's opinion. In addition, Cao Cao also wanted to go to the front line to see Gu Rubing's decline. After all, he was at a disadvantage before. Now he has finally gained an advantage. How can he not show off.

"Yes, father!"

Cao Pi turned and left to prepare the sedan chair. Only Cao Cao was left in the lobby, admiring the battle report sent from the front line. The more Cao Cao looked at it, the better it looked. He even wanted to frame it.

At noon, Cao Pi prepared his things for the trip and set out on the inspection with Cao Cao. Along the way, Cao Cao was overjoyed and smiled all the time.

The closest to Yuzhou were the brothers Xu Chu and Xiahou who were fighting Zhang Fei. They brought the monks who were there at the beginning and the subsequent reinforcements to block the attack of Zhang Fei and the 18 riders of Yanyun. Zhang He also brought 20,000 cavalry to Zhang Fei, otherwise Zhang Fei might have been beaten back.

The powerful fighting power of the monks refreshed Zhang Fei's views on the monks in the Western Regions. The cavalry with the strongest fighting power in the Central Plains in the past now met their lifelong enemy.

In the evening, Cao Cao came to the brothers Xu Chu and Xiahou. Cao Cao, who had just entered the big tent, felt that something seemed to be different, but he didn't think much about it.

"Zhongkang, Yuanrang, Miaocai, how is the recent battle situation?"

Cao Cao's hearty laughter made them turn their heads to look at Cao Cao.

"My Lord!"

"My Lord!"

"Why are you here, my Lord!"

The three of them stood up one after another and bowed to Cao Cao. Cao Cao waved to them and walked quickly to the main seat. Xiahou Yuan quickly gave up his seat.

"I'm here to inspect the battlefield and see the battle situation in your various places. Sit down, sit down quickly."

At this time, Cao Cao felt more and more that something was wrong. He felt that the temperament of the three people seemed to have changed. For some reason, he opened the panels of the three people. He was shocked when he saw it. Not only Xu Chu was promoted to a famous general, but even Xiahou Dun was also promoted to a famous general. Xiahou Yuan was only three points away from being promoted to a famous general.

Cao Cao stared at the scene in front of him in amazement. Although he had many first-class generals under his command, he only had one famous general, Dian Wei, who had just been promoted. Therefore, he had always suffered from not having real high-end combat power to deal with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao and other famous generals under Liu Bei. Now, with the two promoted to famous generals, Xiahou Yuan was only a little short of it. At noon, his high-end combat power was no longer just Cao Ren and Dian Wei.

Cao Cao hurriedly opened the panel details of the two people separately to check the characteristics they obtained after being promoted to famous generals. When Dian Wei was promoted to famous generals, the characteristics he obtained were particularly powerful, which allowed Dian Wei to deal with Guan Yu and others alone in a short period of time.

So he couldn't wait to see what the characteristics of the two were.

[Name: Xu Chu]

[Identity: Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Commander]

[Features: ...Tiger Crazy (Xu Chu has a kind personality, but a bad temper, so he is called Tiger Crazy)]

[Tiger Crazy Effect: When Xu Chu fights with the enemy, he will gain a bonus to all attributes that gradually increases over time, initially +100% of all attributes, reaching the maximum value after half an hour, +400% of all attributes. After this attribute reaches the maximum value, Xu Chu's Wind-Splitting Sword Skill will be enhanced by 100%. PS: The bonus to all attributes only applies to the army commanded by Xu Chu, and only 50% of the maximum value will be gained.]

[Skills: Wind-Splitting Sword Skill lv3 (78/100)]

[Wind-Splitting Sword Skill: Xu Chu's self-created sword skill, a total of 9981 swords. Wherever the sword energy passes, even the wind cannot avoid it and is broken by the sword energy. When using Wind-Splitting Sword Skill, +200% attack power, +100% movement speed, +100% attack speed. 】

【Weapon: Wind-Splitting Blade...】

...

【Name: Xiahou Dun】

【Identity: Left General】

【Characteristics:...Fear of All (Xiahou Dun has become a famous general after a long period of development)】

【Fear of All Effects: Xiahou Dun's troops gain +800% attack power, +800% defense power, +500% toughness. When the morale of this troop is higher than that of the enemy, the troop gains a 150% increase in this characteristic. 】

【arms:……】

…

Looking at the two newly acquired characteristics, Cao Cao just wanted to applaud at this moment. Let alone Xu Chu, just Xiahou Dun, with 800% attack power, 800% defense power, and 500% toughness. This bonus can no longer be used in luxury. To describe it, this should be described as abnormal. When one has higher morale than the opponent, he will get a 150% bonus of this characteristic, which is 1200% of the attack power and defense power, and 750% of the toughness.

Attack power and defense power are the most basic improvements in combat power, and toughness makes up for the lack of high toughness bonus under Cao Cao. Now, his toughness has also been improved, and it has also become Xiahou Dun, a hexagonal warrior who was promoted to a famous general, also had the strength to become the commander-in-chief of the three armies.

Let’s talk about Xu Chu, a tiger idiot! A super characteristic that sounds awesome when you hear it. Like Dian Wei, after Xu Chu was promoted to a famous general, he also gained the characteristic that improved his own combat power. However, Xu Chu still had some talents in leading troops than Dian Wei. , this bonus can also be applied to the part you are in. Although it is only 50%, it is better than nothing.

Because the main bonus of this feature is provided to Xu Chu himself, he will get +100% all-attribute gain at the beginning of the battle. As time goes by, it will finally reach +400% all-attribute gain, which is similar to Dian Wei's Ancient Evil. It's almost there, and there are no side effects, but it takes time to reach the maximum, and there won't be such a high gain at the beginning of the battle.

Cao Cao took a deep breath. This was a huge surprise. Not only did he successfully resist the attack of Liu Bei's men, but his two fierce generals were all promoted to famous generals.

"Hahaha, you really gave me a big surprise."

Cao Cao's voice penetrated the tent and floated in the sky.

"If I give you ten thousand more elite soldiers, do you have the confidence to take down Zhang Fei and capture him alive?!"

"have!"

"certainly!"

Everyone's eyes were wide open. The past few days of fighting regardless of the cost had caused them to suffer heavy losses. Now they only have 20,000 troops left, 10,000 infantry and 10,000 monks. Zhang Fei was also killed. If Zhang He hadn't brought him the support of 20,000 cavalry, Zhang Fei would probably have only Yanyun's eighteen cavalry left to use.

Now if they add 10,000 elite soldiers, they have absolute confidence that they can kill Zhang Fei and his cavalry.

"Hahaha, okay, then I will give you 10,000 elite soldiers!"

Cao Cao laughed and said that Cao Cao could not be described as happy at this moment. The continuous good news made him feel in his heart at this moment that the balance of the goddess of victory had tilted towards him.

That night, Cao Cao, Xu Chu and the Xiahou brothers drank until late at night. In the early morning of the next day, Cao Cao, who was still drunk, took Xiahou Dun with him to support other places. The three of them were originally allowed to be here because the three of them were Among the best of the first-class military generals, only the three of them could contain Zhang Fei. None of the other first-class military generals had this strength.

Among the famous generals, only Dian Wei and the newly promoted Cao Ren could deal with Guan Yu and Zhang Liao. They each had to bring a first-rate general to suppress the other. But now that Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu have both been promoted to famous generals, naturally There is no need to have three people here, one Xu Chu and one Xia Houyuan are enough.

Taking away Xiahou Dun this time, Cao Cao planned to leave him with Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, who were confronting Zhang He. Cao Cao now had plenty of troops, and his generals had been promoted to famous generals one after another. The overall combat power had increased by more than one level. This made Cao Cao now I feel like I am the son of destiny.

During the period when Cao Cao was patrolling along the front, Sun Jian also learned about the tragic defeat of Yuzhang County. Even if he started to attack Jiangxia County, as long as Jiangxia County and Nan County were captured, then for them, it would be a more important battle. The good news is that Liu Bei is still trapped in the south. As long as their northern front is unified, Liu Bei will be their turtle in the urn, and it will be difficult to escape from their grasp.

Therefore, after Cao Cao and Sun Jian exchanged information with each other, they immediately decided that after capturing Jingzhou, they would gradually surround Liu Bei. As long as Liu Bei was captured, everything would be solved.

As for Shi Xie who is in Jiaozhou, his only mission now is to hold Liu Bei back so that Liu Bei cannot escape in time. And Shi Xie does the same. He has already sent troops to start leaving the canyon, escorting four hundred Gu girls to move forward slowly. They let Shi Xie held Liu Bei back, but Shi Xie was ready to eat Liu Bei directly.

Shi Yi led the heavy armored soldiers at the front. Even if there were any traps, the heavy armored soldiers would not be in trouble immediately. In addition, there were archers and Gu girls following closely behind, so they could activate immediately. Counterattack.

Before the war started, each of their soldiers had taken water that could restrain the poison. In a short period of time, they could avoid being poisoned. This was to prevent the poison girls from affecting their own people when they were poisoning. Otherwise, they would be poisoned. It means hurting the enemy a thousand times and damaging yourself eight hundred. This is not his style.

On the other side, Gu Rubing was listening to Hua Tuo explaining the principle of this poison. Yes, in the past few days, Hua Tuo had already figured out how to restrain the opponent's poison, but it was limited to this kind. While several people were listening to Hua Tuo's words, a scout suddenly reported back.

"Shi Xie has already led an army, with tens of thousands of horses, coming here from the canyon. At that time, there were 5,000 cavalry advancing slowly along the road General Huang and his companions were taking."

"It seems that Shi Xie can't bear it any longer. Doctor, do you think if we fight with the opponent now, how much impact will the poison have on us?"

Hua Tuo frowned tightly. Although he had eliminated the current poison, he could not guarantee that the other party would not have other poisons. In other words, the other party would definitely have other poisons. There is a person who specializes in refining poison and only has one kind of poison. Who would believe it if he told it?

"The opponent must have more than one kind of poison. This kind of poison can be cured, but not others. The old minister's suggestion is to avoid its sharp edge and wait until the old minister develops an antidote that can be invulnerable to all poisons before fighting the opponent. It’s the best strategy.”

Gu Rubing also knew the pros and cons. He was not unfamiliar with poison. Although he had never seen it before, he had been a man for three generations and had heard about poison in every life.

"Okay, then follow what the miracle doctor said and pass on my order. Everyone starts to retreat now. Ziyi, Zilong, Han Sheng, Wen Chang, the four of you must have some riding and archery skills, right?"

Gu Rubing smiled and said to the four of them. Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun immediately understood what Gu Rubing meant and knew that Gu Rubing was preparing to fight guerrilla warfare. They nodded one after another. Although Huang Zhong and Wei Yan did not know that Gu Rubing Ru Bing's thoughts, but both of them nodded.

Needless to say, Huang Zhong was someone who could compete with Tai Shi Ci in archery. Wei Yan also learned some archery skills under the influence of Huang Zhong, and several of them had archery skills.

Gu Rubing waved his hand and took out some Zhuge Liannu and placed them in front of them. Zhao Yun and Tai Shici each picked up one and began to adjust it, while Huang Zhong and Wei Yan looked puzzled.

"Lord, what is this? It looks different from an ordinary crossbow."

Huang Zhong asked doubtfully, and at the same time he picked up a Zhuge Liannu and looked at it carefully and studied. In the center of the Zhuge Liannu, the place originally used to place the crossbow arrows was replaced by a wooden trough. In the wooden trough, there were neatly arranged Huang Zhong already had a guess at the ten crossbow arrows, but he didn't dare to believe it because it was beyond his knowledge.

After all, Wei Yan was not a master of archery. Facing Zhuge Liannu, he only felt it was novel and didn't notice anything.

"This is a good thing. It's called Zhuge Liannu. It's an object researched by our Prime Minister Zhuge. Let's go, let's talk as we go, and let Zilong and Ziyi show you how to use the Zhuge Liannu."

Gu Rubing said and walked towards the outside of the tent.
