In the Three Kingdoms period, the opening scene features the killing of Huang Gai, shocking Zhou Yu!

The road is open.

Zhao Yu didn't stop and broke through the encirclement.

They broke through the sea of ​​fire.

In front.

There's no fire.

There is only one forest.

You don't need to be so nervous after you come out.

Zhao Yu slowed his pace, changing from a sprint to a brisk walk.

Finally, the two stopped under a large tree.

"Prime Minister."

Zhao Yu was panting heavily.

Put Cao Cao down.

"We've arrived at our destination."

"Please get off the bus."

Cao Cao landed on his feet.

My legs feel a little weak.

He leaned against the tree trunk, panting heavily.

stimulate.

He looked back at the sea of ​​fire.

It felt like a different world.

survived.

They really survived.

Looking at Zhao Yu,

Zhao Yu sat on the ground.

Two arrows were still stuck in his chest.

His face was covered in black ash.

Cao Cao walked over.

Disregarding the dignity of the prime minister,

Tears streamed down my face again.

Don't ask Boss Cao why he always cries so easily.

If you ask, this is AI—it's touching.

If someone saves me twice, I'd be more than just crying...

"Zhao Yu..."

I owe you a life.

"No."

"There are two."

Finally, the two arrows stuck to his chest were removed.

"You flatter me, Prime Minister."

"If you take someone's money, you're obligated to solve their problems."

"Oh, no, that's not right."

"It is a matter of receiving the emperor's bounty and serving the emperor faithfully."

Zhao Yu patted the dirt off his clothes.

"The Prime Minister is the ruler, and I am the subject."

"A higher-ranking official can crush a lower-ranking one. If you ask me to save someone, then I'll save them."

Does a higher-ranking official have absolute power over others?

How simple and honest, how loyal!

There are no fancy, high-sounding principles.

It means to be obedient and to carry out orders.

Cao Cao laughed loudly.

"Good! What a 'one-rank higher' official position!"

"Zhao Yu, receive your appointment!"

Zhao Yu quickly knelt down.

Good things are coming.

"I hereby appoint you as the General of the Tiger Guard!"

"Marquis of Guannei!"

"A thousand catties of gold will be bestowed upon him!"

"From now on, you will stay by my side, except for me..."

"No one in this world can command you!"

Zhao Yu bowed his head to express his gratitude, but inwardly he was bitterly smiling.

Nobody can order me around?

Prime Minister.

Your puppet emperor is still imprisoned in the Xuchang Palace.

I'm afraid they don't think so.

On the surface, he is still the head of the Han government, regardless of whether his words carry weight.

When the day comes that I meet Liu Xie.

You ordered me to kill him.

He ordered me to kill you.

At that time...

Our "vehicle" is probably going to overturn.

But that happened afterward.

Zhao Yu raised his head.

Looking at Cao Cao, whose face was full of emotion.

"Thank you for your great kindness, Prime Minister."

"As long as the Prime Minister holds the highest position, Zhao Yu... will not hesitate to die ten thousand times over."

……

West of Ulin.

North of Yidu.

Its daybreak.

But the sky remained dark.

It's smoke.

The fire at Chibi burned all night.

Thick smoke obscured the sun.

The air was filled with a lingering smell of burning, a mixture of wood, cloth, and corpses.

On a forest path.

A troop of remnants is marching.

His clothes and armor were disheveled.

They were utterly defeated and abandoned.

Some people rode horses with bald tails, while others leaned on charred gun barrels.

They were all dejected.

Leading the way was Cao Cao, riding a horse that had lost its tail (which he had stolen).

He casually wiped his face with a rag.

But it's still patchy, with black and white areas.

His beard was burned off in one section, making him look rather comical.

There was someone with him.

Zhao Yu.

Tiger Guard Lieutenant General.

Although he was wearing the leather armor of the Eastern Wu (he didn't have time to change).

There are four holes in his chest.

He was carrying a large knife that he had picked up from a pile of corpses.

He walked in front of Cao Cao's horse, never leaving his side.

"Prime Minister!"

Zhang Liao heard that Cao Cao was in this direction.

They rode up on horseback.

He looked disheveled, and even his helmet plume was gone.

He glanced at Zhao Yu warily.

"Is this man... a surrendered general from Jiangdong?"

Zhang Liao was a little worried.

This man was dressed in the uniform of the Eastern Wu army, carrying a knife, and was standing very close to the Prime Minister.

In case of a sudden attack that injures someone...

Cao Cao saw through Zhang Liao's intentions.

He glared at Zhang Liao.

"Wen Yuan!"

"How dare you be so rude!"

Cao Cao pointed at Zhao Yu,

"If it weren't for General Zhao, I would have perished in the flames long ago!"

"He is my benefactor! And a meritorious official of the Han Dynasty!"

"Seeing him is like seeing me!"

Zhang Liao was startled upon hearing this.

Quickly clasp your hands in a fist and palm salute:

"This humble general is guilty! General Zhao, please forgive me!"

Zhao Yu waved his hand.

"General Zhang, you're too kind."

"We're all just working people, trying to make a living."

Zhang Liao: "..."

Why is this person talking so strangely?

The procession continued onward.

The atmosphere was so oppressive it made people uneasy.

Of the hundreds of thousands of troops, only two or three thousand have gathered around me.

This battle completely depleted Cao Cao's accumulated wealth.

At this time,

Cao Cao reined in his horse.

It stopped on a high slope.

Looking at the treacherous terrain ahead.

There are trees on both sides, and a narrow path in the middle.

Cao Cao touched his shorter beard.

The corners of his mouth turned up.

Shoulders shrug.

"hey-hey."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The laughter came abruptly.

It sounded very jarring in the crowd.

Everyone looked at each other.

Has the Prime Minister gone mad?

Was the shock too great?

Zhang Liao, steeling himself, asked:

"Why is the Prime Minister laughing?"

"At this critical moment, our army is defeated and our situation is dire; escaping is the most important thing."

Cao Cao pointed at the trees on both sides with his riding whip and laughed so hard he almost fell over.

"I don't laugh at anything else."

"He laughs at Zhou Yu's lack of strategy and Zhuge Liang's lack of wisdom!"

"If we were to ambush an army here, even just five hundred men..."

"We have no way to escape!"

"What a pity! What a pity! They ultimately didn't foresee this!"

Cao Cao looked smug.

It felt like I had regained a sense of superiority in terms of intelligence.

Zhao Yu stood in front of the horse.

Hearing those familiar lines.

He sighed.

"Prime Minister!"

Zhao Yu interrupted Cao Cao's laughter.

Stop laughing.

"If you laugh again, they'll really come."

"What?"

Before he could finish speaking...

"Knock knock!"

A drumbeat sounded.

Flags fluttered in the woods on both sides.

A group of people rushed out.

The leading general, dressed in white robes and silver armor,

Although he wasn't wearing a helmet, he exuded a heroic aura.

It was none other than Zhao Zilong of Changshan.

Zhao Yun stood ready, spear in hand.

Shout loudly:

"I am Zhao Zilong of Changshan!"

"I have been waiting here for a long time on the orders of the strategist!"

"You traitor Cao! Dismount and prepare to die!"

Cao Cao stopped laughing.

The smugness on his face instantly turned into terror.

"Zilong?"

"What is he doing here?"

The generals were thrown into chaos.

Zhang Liao and Xu Huang were both injured and exhausted.

The soldiers were terrified.

What, was the God of War of Changban just bragging to you?

It went in and out seven times; it's an unreasonable monster.

Upon seeing this god of death, how could anyone still have the will to fight?

"It's over!"

Cao Cao's hands and feet were ice-cold. After running so frantically all this way, was he really going to die here?

Zhao Yun urged his horse on.

He flicked his spear.

A flash of cold light appeared first, then shot straight at Cao Cao.

Take Cao Cao directly.

No one dared to stop them.

No one could stop them.

Cao Cao watched the spear tip getting closer and closer.

Then I remembered Zhao Yu.

"Zhao Yu!"

"Stop him!"

"Don't let him come any closer!"

【Ding. 】

[Command detected.]

[Posted by: Cao Cao (Prime Minister)]

[Instruction: Stop the target (Zhao Yun).]

[Execution Mode: Absolute Defense.]

[Correction: As solid as a rock.]

Zhao Yu stepped forward.

There were no fancy moves.

A horizontal sword.

They stood in front of Cao Cao's horse.

Zhao Yun looked at the soldier dressed in the uniform of the Eastern Wu army.

I admire your courage.

but

"Those who block my way shall die!"

Horses are fast, but guns are even faster.

This shot carried an aura of certain death.

Even Xu Chu at his peak wouldn't dare to take on the challenge head-on.

Zhao Yu did not dodge.

He held the knife upright in front of him.

"clang!"

The clang of metal rang out.

Cao Cao's warhorse was startled and retreated in a hurry.

The image freezes.

Zhao Yun's spear tip pressed against Zhao Yu's blade.

The silver spear bent into an astonishing arc.

The white horse that Zhao Yun was riding reared up due to the enormous reaction force, letting out a mournful cry.

And Zhao Yu,

stable!
