The Three Kingdoms: Hindsight is 20/20, and the Three Revivals of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 113 Zhang Fei's First Kill in Ji County, I am Zhang Yide of Yan (4th update)
After setting up camp, Zhang Fei did not stay in the camp immediately.

After ordering five hundred White Feather Soldiers to guard the camp, Zhang Fei led eighteen elite cavalrymen straight to the south gate of Ji County.

The horses' hooves kicked up dust.

The valiant cavalry arrived with a roar.

Looking at the tightly closed south gate of Ji County, Zhang Fei couldn't help but laugh loudly, and then shouted fiercely towards the city wall: "I am Zhang Yide of Yan! Who dares to fight me to the death!"

The shouts were like thunder, making the soldiers on the walls of Ji County tremble with fear.

At that moment, Qi Zhou, the Prefect of Guangyang, was patrolling the city wall when he suddenly heard the shouts and hurriedly rode his horse to the South Gate.

Seeing Zhang Fei, clad in armor and wielding a spear, standing below the city, looking like a bear or tiger, Qi Zhou couldn't help but feel fear: He had heard that Liu Bei had two fierce warriors under his command, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and this man called himself Zhang Yide of Yan, so he must be Zhang Fei.

Seeing a man who looked like a general looking out from the city wall, Zhang Fei shouted again, "Zhang Yide of Yan is here! Who dares to fight to the death?"

Even louder than before, the roar terrified the soldiers on the city wall.

Although these soldiers were not new recruits, none of them had ever seen a truly fierce warrior, let alone imagined that someone like Zhang Fei would dare to swagger around the city with only eighteen riders!

Although there were only three hundred soldiers at the south gate of Ji County, there were a total of two thousand infantry and cavalry in the city of Ji County!
Who really has the advantage?
Seeing Zhang Fei's imposing manner, Qi Zhou was even more frightened and ordered in a trembling voice, "Defend the city carefully, and no one is allowed to go out to fight!"

Upon hearing the order, all the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Qi Zhou might act rashly and go out of the city to fight Zhang Fei. With Zhang Fei's physique, which was as big as a bear or tiger, going out of the city to fight would be no different from sending himself to his death!
Seeing this, Zhang Fei brandished his spear and shouted again: "Why do you neither fight nor surrender? What is the reason for this?!"

Before the shouts had even subsided, one of Qi Zhou's generals was so terrified that his liver and gallbladder shattered, and he crashed headfirst into the crenellations of the city wall, tumbling to the ground.

"what--!"

"Captain Wang has fallen from the city wall?!"

"Did Zhang Fei's roar kill Captain Wang?"

"Mother!"

"."

The soldiers on the city wall were already trembling at Zhang Fei's roar. Now, witnessing "Captain Wang" being so frightened by Zhang Fei's three angry roars that he lost his footing and fell to his death, their last remaining sense of discipline collapsed instantly.

Exclamations, screams, and the clanging of weapons falling to the ground filled the air.

Some people slumped to the ground, their faces ashen, their legs trembling like leaves; others stumbled backward, knocking over their comrades behind them; even the archers who had been hiding behind the battlements, intending to launch a sneak attack, had completely lost the courage to draw their bows, staggering back, their hands trembling as they held the bowstrings.

Qi Zhou was so terrified that his soul almost left his body. He swayed twice and only managed to stay upright by clinging tightly to the panicked guard beside him.

"Is this even human?" Qi Zhou muttered to himself.

Qi Zhou, the chief clerk, was ultimately in a bad state of mind. When faced with such a sudden accident, he not only forgot to appease the troops, but was also frightened like the soldiers.

Even the chief clerk was trembling with fear, so how could the soldiers not be terrified?

"Hahahaha-!"

The chaos and panic on the city walls amused Zhang Fei, who was below.

Originally, he just wanted to show off his power, but he didn't expect to "roar" one person to death!
Zhang Fei brandished his spear and shouted again: "You filthy rats, you've been scared out of your wits after I roared three times! You dare to oppose General Zuo? Surrender the city now and you may escape death!"

Qi Zhou was both ashamed and furious, yet helpless. Should he leave the city and fight?

With the soldiers on the city walls terrified, who would dare to leave the city?
"Defend the city well, I'm going to see the governor!" Qi Zhou gave the order with trembling hands, and quickly ran down the city wall, as if afraid that if he stayed any longer, something unexpected might happen.

See this.

Zhang Fei merely sneered and led his eighteen elite cavalrymen towards the east gate, preparing to investigate all four gates of Ji County.

Inside the prefect's mansion, upon learning that Zhang Fei had led eighteen elite cavalrymen to challenge them and had even killed a captain with his shouts, Yan Rou was so angry that her face turned a deep purplish-red.

Before we even officially started fighting Liu Bei, one of our captains was yelled to death by Zhang Fei, right in front of three hundred soldiers at the south gate!
"Men, go and kill Captain Wang and his entire family! They've ruined our morale; even ten deaths wouldn't be enough to appease my hatred!"

Yan Rou glared angrily and shouted, wishing she could whip the corpse of Captain Wang, who had been yelled to death by Zhang Fei.

Qi Zhou hesitated, wanting to speak but not daring to offer any advice.

At this point, anyone who tries to persuade Yan Rou will be in trouble.

After a long while, Qi Zhou finally spoke after Yan Rou's anger subsided: "The reinforcements from the various counties have not yet arrived. Today, Zhang Fei has also ruined the morale of the army. We cannot fight them again. We can only defend the city and wait for reinforcements."

Yan Rou understood this as well, and said indignantly, "It's one thing that Xianyu Fu is far away, but Yuyang is only a hundred miles away from Jixian. Wang Song's troops haven't even arrived yet. Does he want to sit and watch Liu Bei and me both suffer heavy losses before taking advantage of me?"

Yan Rou was furious at the thought of Wang Song from Yuyang being so slow and indecisive.

They verbally agreed to gather troops in Ji County, but in practice they moved haltingly, as if moving too fast would result in heavy losses.

Qi Zhou had no choice; after all, Ji County was the first to bear the brunt.

Despite Yan Rou's complaints about Wang Song, if Yan Rou and Wang Song were to switch places, Yan Rou would also deliberately delay her arrival in Ji County by stopping and starting.

How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?
Both Yan Rou and Wang Song wanted to annex the other.

If Liu Bei hadn't come here and immediately attacked the six commanderies, treating them as easy prey, Yan Rou and Wang Song would never have joined forces!
Taking a deep breath, Yan Rou said fiercely, "Send another message to the Wuhuan kings: once we defeat Liu Bei, I will give up Guangyang."

Qi Zhou was taken aback: "If the governor cedes Guangyang, won't he have nowhere to stay?"

Yan Rou sneered: "After defeating Liu Bei, I can go directly to Zhuojun. Why should I stay in the small Guangyang? The Wuhuan people have occupied Guangyang, and they will definitely covet Yuyang. In this way, I can eliminate both Liu Bei and Wang Song. Furthermore, based on my relationship with the Wuhuan kings, whether Yuan Shao or Cao Cao wins, they will only treat me with courtesy!"

For Yan Rou, the number of Han Chinese who died in Youzhou was irrelevant.

As long as they can retain and enjoy power, they don't care even if Youzhou becomes a grazing land for the Wuhuan people.

Qi Zhou was alarmed upon hearing this and couldn't help but advise, "Those who are not of our kind will surely have different intentions. The governor must also be wary of the Wuhuan people."

Yan Rou scoffed: "Chief Clerk Qi, I think you've read too many books and forgotten how to survive. Whether Han or Wuhuan, I'll help whoever lets me live; I'll kill whoever wants me dead! Now that Liu Bei wants me dead, I don't care if he's a Wuhuan or not!"

Seeing Yan Rou's terrifying ferocity, Qi Zhou dared not offer any further advice. He silently withdrew and then sent a messenger out of the city straight towards Shanggu.
Tadun of the Three Commanderies Wuhuan was too far away, so even if he wanted to gather troops, he couldn't come in a short time. Nanlou of the Shanggu Wuhuan was closer and was also the Wuhuan king with the best relationship with Yan Rou.

The direction of Dai County.

Xianyu Fu's two thousand infantry and cavalry also arrived in Guangyang County.

At the road crossing ahead, a flag bearing the character "关" (guan, meaning pass/control) fluttered in the wind.
