Yuzhou, Ruyang, Runan County.

Yuan Shu's residence was filled with joy. Yesterday, spies from the front reported that Zhang Kai had successfully lured and killed Liu Chong, the King of Chen, and Luo Jun, the Prime Minister.

The county state of Chen fell into his hands, and from then on he became the authentic [State of Chen].

This can be said to be the greatest good news since Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor.

At this time, Yuan Shu was in his residence, summoning all his ministers, drinking and having fun, and holding a celebration banquet.

"Report."

An urgent report from a spy came from outside the mansion, and the sound suddenly froze the cheerful atmosphere. All the ministers under his command looked at the spy who was quickly entering the mansion.

"General, the military situation ahead is that Cao Cao has led his troops into Changsha, Yingchuan. The city has been breached, General Qiao Rui has been captured and killed by Cao Cao. Changsha has fallen, and Cao Cao's troops are heading towards Xu County."

"What?"

Yuan Shu stood up suddenly, in disbelief.

Qiao Rui was killed, he lost a general under his command, and Yingchuan Changsha was taken away. The situation was very bad.

"How could this be?"

"Cao Cao annexed Wang Kuang's troops and generals, and his power grew stronger."

Yuan Shu slumped in his chair, the celebratory drink in his hand instantly losing its taste.

"Report."

Another expedited spy stopped in front of the mansion and quickly walked inside.

"Your Majesty, Liu Xun was defeated, Sun Ben surrendered to Sun Ce, Wu Fang was lost, and Sun Ce entered Runan."

After hearing the spy's report, Yuan Shu coughed violently, with blood in his sputum, and looked listless. After a long time, Yuan Shu waved his hand, signaling the spies to retreat, and sighed.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid we can't hold on for much longer. The best option is for us to go north and surrender to Lord Yuan Shao," Yan Xiang advised.

Yuan Shu remained silent, shook his head, and waved to the ministers.

The original celebration party was over and no one was in the mood to celebrate anymore.

…

Sili, Huai County.

Lu Bu led his troops to besiege the city and looked from afar at the commander guarding the city wall. He found that the commander was Xiahou Dun, one of Cao Cao's generals.

Ning Changsheng was beside Lu Bu, calm and composed.

After the Royal Guild announced its joining Lü Bu, he became Lü Bu's chief counselor. History has changed. Lü Bu no longer has Chen Gong, nor is he in Yanzhou or Xuzhou. Everything can change.

He had already made plans, and not only him, but other guild leaders also had them.

Even if Lu Bu fails in the future, he can turn to other princes. With his experience as Lu Bu's chief adviser, he will have a place under other princes.

In the future struggle for hegemony, once the cultivation settings are opened up, it may not be impossible to lead an army and become independent.

This time when Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, he suggested that Lu Bu march south to attack and regain the reputation and fortune he had lost during the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, so as to expand his territory.

"Do you dare to go out of the city and fight?" Lu Bu stepped forward and challenged.

In Huai County, Xiahou Dun looked down on Lu Bu and ignored him.

He had seen Lu Bu's abilities at Hulao Pass, and he would not seek trouble by going out to fight Lu Bu alone.

"General Xiahou." Suddenly, a voice interrupted Xiahou Dun's thoughts. The visitor was none other than the Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei brothers, who had recently surrendered to Cao Cao.

Xiahou Dun had some impression of these three people.

Before going to the battle, the lord asked him to pay more attention to the three men, especially the arrogant man with a face as red as a date.

"What's the matter?" Xiahou Dun asked.

"Three of us brothers want to leave the city to challenge Lu Bu," Liu Bei said.

Hearing this, Xiahou Dun was shocked.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course I take it seriously."

"This Lu Bu can only be stopped by the Marquis of Guanjun. Don't underestimate the enemy. Think carefully first." Xiahou Dun said.

When Liu Bei heard the title of Marquis of Guanjun, he frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.

"General Xiahou, there's no need to think about it. Back at Hulao Pass, the three of us brothers wanted to challenge Lü Bu, but Guanjun Hou got there first. Now that we have another chance, we naturally have to give it a try."

"Then go ahead." Seeing Liu Bei's request, Xiahou Dun couldn't continue to stop him.

After a while, the three of them left the city.

"I, the slave of three surnames, Zhang Fei of Yan, am here to receive my death."

Zhang Fei rode out on his horse, his eyes wide open, his tiger whiskers standing upright, holding a 10-foot-long snake spear, looking extremely fierce.

Lu Bu was furious and spurred his horse forward, his red rabbit galloping as fast as the wind.

Both of them were fighting with great energy.

Even though Lu Bu was a god-level warrior, he was still unable to defeat Zhang Fei after more than fifty rounds. Seeing that Zhang Fei's magical powers were fading, Guan Yu immediately rode his horse to kill him, and the two of them attacked Lu Bu from both sides.

Seeing that Lu Bu was not at a disadvantage in the fight with the two men, Liu Bei also rode over, recreating the three-person siege scene.

"How can you be called a hero if you use your numbers to bully the few? Soldiers, follow me and kill these villains who use their numbers to bully the few." Ning Changsheng shouted and led a group of soldiers out towards where the few people were.

Upon seeing this, Liu Bei immediately shouted and retreated, and the three men rode away on horseback.

Outside Huai County, Lu Bu snorted coldly as he looked at the three men's backs, but did not chase after them.

"My Lord, please go back first and discuss this matter later." Ning Changsheng looked deeply at the backs of the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang.

The chaos in the Central Plains reached its peak during the wars among the various princes. Everyone wanted to occupy more territory and population at this time to gain a place in the troubled times.

Chaos is advancing in disorder.

…

"System prompt: Players who lead their troops to destroy the Japanese Kingdom will be rewarded with a set of special soldier-level earth-level skills, 'Slaying the Ghost Guards.'"

"System prompt: Players occupy Japan, and the territory's luck improves."

At this time, Lin Han was in Hokkaido Island.

The last Japanese village was destroyed by his butcher knife, and a system prompt appeared.

This time the system prompted that there was one less dragon energy than the previous reward for destroying a country. This was probably because he had already obtained the dragon energy when he killed the Emperor of Japan.

The special military skill of "Killing Ghost Guards" greatly improves combat effectiveness when fighting against the Japanese and can kill ghosts and monsters.

The system rewards soldiers targeting the devils. Now the Japanese islands have become a dead end, the Japanese are wiped out, and the next time we fight the Japanese, we may have to wait until the national war begins.
