The Three Kingdoms: Home Travel

...Is he the one being disturbed?

Dian Wei strode forward, holding his double halberds, his eyes fixed on the young general on the white horse in the battlefield. The Cao soldiers on the road, seeing his tall and strong physique, were afraid of being knocked down by him and kept their distance.

"Having drunk my fill of wine for a month..." Dian Wei exhaled a puff of hot air from his nose, heading straight for Zhao Yun.

"Get out of my way!" Zhao Yun was extremely anxious upon seeing his lord's perilous situation. He brandished his silver spear, thrusting repeatedly, the force of his spear overwhelming. The Cao soldiers in front of him fell one after another, no match for Zhao Yun.

"Stay here!" Suddenly, Zhao Yun heard a loud shout, and then felt a gust of wind rushing towards the back of his head. He was startled and quickly turned around to block it with the shaft of his spear.

Lock! A heavy iron halberd slammed down on Zhao Yun's spear, the force so great that Zhao Yun's horse staggered back several steps.

"City!" The iron halberd plunged deep into the ground, burying half of it.

"You..." Zhao Yun glanced at the trembling hands with suspicion, then looked at the burly man before him in astonishment. He thought to himself, "This man truly possesses divine strength, slightly surpassing mine. Could there really be people born with superhuman strength?"

He let out a breath. Zhao Yun pointed his silver spear at Dian Wei and said in a deep voice, "Who are you? State your name!"

"My name is Dian Wei! My lord bestowed upon me the name 'Ancient Evil Lai'!" Dian Wei strode forward, bent his knees, and leaped high into the air, his iron halberd slashing heavily towards Zhao Yun.

Seeing a trap suddenly appear where Dian Wei had been standing, Zhao Yun's eyes narrowed, and he pulled on the reins, narrowly avoiding Dian Wei's attack.

Seeing the crack that had appeared on the ground, Zhao Yun felt a chill run down his spine. He had long since abandoned his previous underestimation of it.

This man possesses superhuman strength; to defeat him, one must focus on technique…Having made up his mind, Zhao Yun raised his spear and hooked the iron halberd that Dian Wei had previously flung out. The long shaft swept horizontally, the iron halberd striking straight at Dian Wei. “Catch!”

Unexpectedly, Dian Wei caught the flying halberd and lunged at Zhao Yun.

"Lock!" Zhao Yun used his silver spear to block Dian Wei's swift attack. But seeing his horse's hooves deeply embedded in the ground, Zhao Qi was both shocked and furious.

"Hmph!" Zhao Yun's expression changed, and he flicked the shaft of his spear, deflecting Dian Wei slightly. Then, he straightened his spear, and the continuous spear guard closed in on Dian Wei.

To everyone's surprise, Dian Wei paused for a moment upon seeing the move. Then, disregarding Zhao Yun's spear attack, he countered with a halberd strike.

Using brute force to overcome skill... Zhao Yun was so angry he almost vomited blood. This was the first time he had ever encountered such a situation... Helpless, Zhao Yun had no choice but to stop his attack and use skillful force to counter Dian Wei's offensive.

The two exchanged blows for over ten rounds, while the surrounding Cao soldiers merely watched from afar. Cao Cao, naturally, also saw Dian Wei fiercely battling Zhao Yun from the high ground and exclaimed in surprise, "Er Lai is so brave!" However, Cao Cao observed that Zhao Zilong still had energy to spare. He was only wary of Er Lai's fighting spirit, and each time he used skillful techniques to deflect the attacks, which was truly impressive. Cao Cao greatly admired this man! If he could be put to my use…

He stopped mid-sentence, then suddenly turned to look at Jiang Zhe and said in a deep voice, "Shouyi Fang once said that this man could be subdued..."

"Yes, we did say that!"

"Well, well," Cao Cao said with a very strange expression. He thought to himself, "If you have a solution, why don't you just say so?"

"Hehe!" Guo Jia saw that victory was in sight. Naturally, he relaxed a little and watched Cao Cao and Jiang Zhe with Xi Zhiyou.

"Mengde, don't be hasty!" Jiang Zhe chuckled as he glanced at the battlefield and said softly, "To subdue him, we must wait until we defeat Gongbie Gua. In today's situation, Gongbie Qing… what's wrong with Yuan Shao?!"

Cao Cao sensed the anger in Jiang Zhe's words. He turned his head and his expression changed slightly.

Just as everyone was chatting and laughing, the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans under Yuan Shao's command directly routed Yuan Shao's vanguard. They circled around to the rear of Jiang Zhe's five hundred chariots, while on the other side, Gongsun Gua, who seemed to have already seen what was happening, was also making every effort to counterattack.

"Damn it!" Guo Jia looked at the formation. He saw that Cao Ren and Cao Chun were both blocking between the chariots and Gongsun You's small chariot, unable to protect the rear of the chariots. As for Xiahou Ji and Xiahou Yuan, they were even more helpless, as they were fighting desperately with Gongsun You's central army. How could they possibly make it in time?

"That Yuan Shao!" Xi Zhi stamped his foot angrily. The previously favorable situation had turned into a pincer movement... "What can we say now?!" Jiang Zhe glared hatefully at Yuan Shao's central army. He decisively declared, "Mengde, things have come to this; our central army must also advance!"

"Shall we also go?" Cao Cao was naturally unafraid. He had practiced martial arts since childhood and distinguished himself during the Yellow Turban Rebellion through his martial skills and strategies. How could he be afraid? However, there were strategists in the central army who were not skilled in martial arts, such as Jiang Zhe, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai. What if… "Give the order quickly!" Jiang Zhe said in a deep voice.

Cao Cao glanced at Jiang Zhe's anxious face, then surveyed the battlefield, gritted his teeth, and said resolutely, "Therefore… you all protect these gentlemen! As for the rest, I will handle them!"

Thus, ten thousand soldiers led by Cao Cao rushed to the battlefield, leaving only a hundred or so of Cao Cao's personal guards to hold off Jiang Zhe, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhiyou.

In fact, Jiang Zhe was unaware of this. Yuan Shao was also furious on the battlefield at that moment. Seeing that Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans had defeated his vanguard, he was even angrier than Jiang Zhe.

Cao Cao's side was firmly suppressing Gongbie Bo, and victory seemed imminent. However, a blunder occurred within their own army. How could Yuan Shao not be furious?

"Push them forward!" Yuan Shao roared, spurring his horse forward and cutting down several hesitant soldiers. Pointing at Cao Cao's army, he shouted, "Look at this! The names of the heroes of Hebei are ruined by you!"

"How can you face your fellow villagers and elders in Xiyi County? Charge with me!" Tian Feng stood on the high slope, his heart filled with anxiety. He said to Feng Ji, "Things have come to this point; we have no choice but to join the central army. If we are defeated in this battle, how can we face Lord Cao?"

Feng Ji nodded and said, "What you say is absolutely right!" He then ordered the soldiers and chariots around him to sound the horns, preparing for a general attack.

What was originally a great victory has turned into the current situation due to the collapse of Yuan Shao's vanguard.

Because of this, Yuan Shao was worried about losing face with Cao Cao, and with this thought in mind, he actually managed to hold off the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans' offensive.

He had slain two great generals, Mu Gu and Yu Du… Mu Gu was unconcerned. But Yu Du had been a member of the Yellow Turbans since the earlier attack on Xuzhou. In terms of seniority and martial arts, he was one of Zhang Yan's few great generals, yet now he had been killed by Yuan Shao with a single sword stroke. He had only brought fame to Yuan Shao for nothing.

When Cao Cao arrived behind the five hundred chariots, more than two hundred had already been lost, not to mention the soldiers who had perished under the Yellow Turban swords. Enraged, Cao Cao spurred his horse forward, sword in hand, and began killing anyone with a yellow turban on their head, slaughtering more than ten in succession. This greatly alarmed the Yellow Turban rebels of the surrounding Black Mountain region.

His true colors as a ruthless warlord were immediately revealed. Cao Cao sat astride his horse, his commands flowing smoothly, gradually gaining control of the situation. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a general secretly halting his horse and approaching, and a cold smile crept across his face.

The one who arrived was none other than Wang Dang, a general of the Yellow Turban Rebellion from Black Mountain, wielding a finely crafted iron broadsword. His martial arts were not weak. He did not recognize Cao Cao, but only saw Cao Cao directing his troops. He thought to himself, "This man must be one of Cao Cao's generals. If I can take his head back, the leader will surely reward me handsomely."

So, taking advantage of Cao Cao's command of his soldiers, Wang Dang secretly rode up and raised his broadsword to strike down heavily.

"My lord, be careful!" Wang Bingma was fast. In an instant, he arrived behind Cao Cao. The nearby Cao soldiers were shocked and shouted warnings.

"Hey!" Unexpectedly, Cao Cao had already seen Wang Dang. He lay on his horse to avoid Wang Dang's attack, then straightened up and slashed Wang Dang's neck with his sword.

"You want to take my head, Cao Mengde? You're not worthy!" Cao Cao laughed heartily, then turned to his soldiers and said, "Cut off this scoundrel's head!"

"Yes! Our lord is mighty!" The nearby Cao soldiers were greatly encouraged by Cao Cao's bravery.

"Haha!" Cao Cao laughed loudly, then suddenly heard an angry shout, "You dare kill my Black Mountain general? I'll fight you!"

Cao Cao turned around in surprise and saw a figure charging towards him with a spear thrust forward. Judging from the man's appearance, he seemed to be a general of the Black Mountain sect. He sneered and said, "Well done! Watch how I kill you!"

Two horses circled in circles. Two men mounted on them fought, one wielding a sword and the other a spear.

This was Bie Qing, originally a close friend of Wang Dang and a fellow Yellow Turban leader from Black Mountain. He had played a significant role in the battle against Nanmeng when Zhang Yan rose up in Black Mountain. Not only was his martial arts far superior to Wang Dang's, but he was also much more astute.

At this moment, seeing that the man standing there wouldn't dismount, Sun Qing devised a plan. He feigned an attack, turned his horse around, and rode away, intending to lure Cao Cao into pursuit so he could turn around and kill him.

Unfortunately, who was Cao Cao? In terms of martial arts and strategy, there are countless others in the world, but in terms of insight, no one can compare.

Seeing that Sun Qing had the strength to retreat, Cao Cao knew there was a trap. He sneered, sheathed his sword, and drew his bow… Sun Qing had been listening carefully to the sounds behind him. But after running for quite a while, Cao Cao still hadn't caught up. Suspicious, he turned around and was immediately terrified. Cao Cao had drawn his bow and raised an arrow, aiming it at him… With the sound of a bowstring, Sun Qing's heart skipped a beat. He instinctively ducked to the side of his horse, then kicked off with his right foot and sprang back onto the saddle, glancing back triumphantly at Cao Cao. But then he realized an arrow was getting closer and closer…

"Your horsemanship is indeed remarkable. It's a pity my first arrow was a blank; the second was the real deal." Trying to cheat me, Cao Mengde? Heh! You're far from it! With a smug look, Cao Cao pointed at someone and laughed, "Whoever cuts off that scoundrel's head, that credit will be given to him!"

"Drink!" The nearby Cao soldiers swarmed forward.

Sun Qing took a difficult step, only to be shocked to see countless Cao soldiers surging towards him. He shouted, "Ah!"

With a cold laugh, Cao Cao seemed to sense something and looked to the side, where he saw Yuan Shao holding two heads in his hands, looking at him with a half-smile.

Cao Cao glanced at the two Black Mountain Yellow Turban generals he had killed, shook his head, and pointed towards Gongsun Qi's direction.

Yuan Shao immediately understood and pointed to his opponent, the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans.

The two smiled at each other, turned their horses, and rode away.

"Gongsun Qi's defeat and death will occur at this very moment!" Cao Cao roared from his horse. "All generals and soldiers, engage in battle! Whoever kills Gongsun Qi will be promoted three ranks and rewarded with one hundred gold pieces!"

At the same time, Yuan Shao shouted to his soldiers, "Know that we have already lost face once. Do not let our allies laugh at us again. If anyone hesitates, I swear to kill them! Whoever kills Zhang Yan..."

Promoted three ranks, rewarded with a hundred households!

"Drink!" The morale of Yuan and Cao's armies soared.

At that moment, Zhao Yun was still entangled with Dian Wei. However, both sides were now evenly matched in offense and defense, but Dian Wei was covered in wounds, while Zhao Yun was completely unscathed.

Suddenly, Dian Wei was struck on the calf by the tip of Zhao Yun's spear. Losing his strength, Dian Wei's body lurched forward. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Yun, who was furious and about to deliver the fatal blow, suddenly heard a gentle voice.

"General Zhao...please show mercy..."
