Chapter 167 Cao Mengde: Whoever can kill Liu Zilie today will be granted the title of Marquis of Guannei!

Tap tap tap~
On the city wall of Xuchang, muffled footsteps were heard.

Cao Mengde walked slowly to the top of the city wall. The strong wind blew past, making his beard flutter.

He looked deep into Xuchang City and saw a large group of black figures, like a surging tide, rushing towards the city gate at a rapid speed...

The snow blades are like a forest, and the iron shields are like clouds.

Those are the five thousand soldiers guarding Xuchang!
Cao Cao's mouth was full of coldness: "Liu Zilie, it's not that I can't tolerate you, it's just that you are too rampant and wanton..."

He took Xiangfan, conquered Nanyang, pointed his sword at the Central Plains, and led 30,000 troops north to the court.

Outside the city of Xuchang, Liu Wu vigorously won over the hearts of the people and forced himself to swear an oath in front of the people of Xuchang. He even seduced his "Xiao He" Xun Lingjun in front of him!

In each and every incident, Liu Zilie was challenging his own bottom line.

As Liu Zilie headed north to the Central Plains, those ministers who had originally given up on the emperor and were disappointed with the court began to have hope for the Han Dynasty again and began to waver.

All the noble families and ministers who had been secretly opposing him jumped out today.

Even the old man Yang Biao, who had retired from the court for many years due to leg disease, came to greet Liu Wu!

These enemies, who were originally suppressed by him and could not even raise their heads, could not wait to get closer to Liu Wu.

If Liu Wu is not removed soon, I'm afraid Xuchang will be in chaos.

"Haha, do you really think that you are qualified to play chess with me just because you have won the support of the people and met a few Han officials?" Cao Mengde's face became colder and colder: "Do you really think that after entering Xuchang City, you, Liu Zilie, can come out again?"

He looked towards the distant part of the city, at the officials who had entered the city first...

Today he will surround and kill Liu Zilie in front of all these officials!
Today he would tell all the officials in the court that the decision of Xuchang and the Han Dynasty was still decided by Cao Mengde, a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.

……

inside the city,

All the ministers in the court were heading towards the palace. They were still discussing the scene where tens of thousands of people surrounded Liu Wu just now.

Especially those Han officials, they were extremely excited:
"The people's hearts are with Han! The people's hearts are with Han!"

"This time when Liu Jingzhou enters Xuchang, it will surely let everyone in the world know that the destiny of the Han Dynasty is still there."

"I heard that Liu Jingzhou had forced Prime Minister Cao to..."

Boom! ~
Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound came from behind the officials.

what sound?
The officials who were about to enter the palace subconsciously turned around and looked...

"kill!"

"Capture the traitor Liu Zilie! Dead or alive!"

Shouts and cries of killing suddenly arose, echoing throughout the entire Xuchang City.

A large mass of soldiers suddenly rushed out from two street corners behind the officials and rushed towards the city gate like a surging river.

The murderous aura was rising.
Fierce and bloody!

The spears gathered together, flashing dense cold light, and charged towards the rider who had just come out of the corridor!

The ministers in the court in the distance were dumbfounded, and all the Han officials had grim expressions.

"What, what's going on?!"

"These are the 5,000 soldiers who were originally guarding Xuchang... Cao Mengde wants to surround and kill Liu Jingzhou!"

"Liu Zilie went to Xuchang to pay homage to the emperor. How dare Cao Cao surround and kill the ministers of state?!"

"It's over. My hope for the Han Dynasty is over..."

Prime Minister Cao is still the same Prime Minister Cao, but does he really want to kill the descendants of the Han Dynasty and the Han ministers who came to pay homage to the emperor in this Han capital? !

Xun Yu's face turned pale. If it weren't for the support of several ministers around him, he would have almost fallen to the ground: "How could this be? My Lord, how could this be!"

"How dare he! How dare he! I will report Cao Mengde and impeach him!" Yang Biao's face turned red, and he leaned on the ground with his cane frantically. "How dare he surround and kill a governor of a state in the capital of the Han Dynasty?"

"Is this what the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty is supposed to do?!"

Yang Biao continued to shout angrily, but the despair in his eyes grew stronger.

What a Cao Mengde, so cruel!
Thousands of soldiers in the city surrounded one person. What could Liu Wu do even if he was brave?
Cao Aman wanted to kill Liu Wu in front of all the Han officials in order to establish his authority. This was to cut off the last hope of these Han officials...

"kill!"

Thousands of elite soldiers, everyone's eyes were filled with fanaticism...

Prime Minister Cao has already offered a reward. Whoever can kill Liu Zilie today will be granted the title of Marquis of Guannei!

Of course they had heard of Liu Zilie's bravery, but at this time Liu Zilie was just one man on a horse, and the two carriages behind him were just for his family.

They besieged one enemy with thousands of people. Even though the result would be heavy casualties, couldn't they take down one enemy?
Liu Zilie must die today, and they will get the reward!

Looking at the tide of soldiers suddenly rushing towards him.

Liu Wu looked calm and just kicked the horse's belly.

Xilulu! ~
The horse under his crotch hooved its four hooves and roared as it rushed forward to meet the enemy...

"kill!!"

boom! ~
The Xuchang soldiers who were rushing in the front suddenly collided with Liu Wu, like waves hitting rocks, splashing blood-red waves!
Poof! ~
The terrifying halberd blade was swung across, and several streams of hot blood spurted out from the soldiers' necks, and four or five heads fell down.

Before the heads hit the ground, large numbers of corpses had already fallen to the ground.

The sharp halberd was like a sickle, madly harvesting the soldiers standing in front of it.

The sticky blood spread across the streets of Xuchang and piled up into puddles.

Click! ~
"Ah!!~"

The sound of broken bones and tendons mixed with screams and wails.

Broken arms and limbs were flying everywhere, and intestines were bursting all over the ground.

Wherever the iron hooves trampled, countless corpses turned into minced meat!

"Charge!" "Push forward! Push forward quickly!"

"He's only one person! Only one person! We can wear him out!"

More and more corpses fell to the ground. Liu Wu's body and face were covered with the blood of the enemies, but his eyes were still as calm as water. The halberd in his hand moved like flying, and the horse under his crotch kept advancing forward.

Wherever his mount went, the soldiers around him fell in a pool of blood like weeds.

The pungent smell of blood wafted throughout the entire city of Xuchang, corpses piled up like mountains, and blood flowed like rivers!
The officials and ministers in the distance looked at the scene before them, their legs trembling, and they felt terrified...

Since Xuchang became the capital of the Han Dynasty, even though Cao Mengde had raised the butcher knife several times to purge Han officials, never so many people died as today!
But what made them even more unbelievable was that Liu Wu was only one man with a halberd, but he was not afraid of being surrounded and killed by thousands of soldiers...

Liu Wu's bravery is known to all the civil and military officials in the court!
But until now!
Only then did they realize the importance of the word "brave" when it came to Liu Wu!

"People say Liu Zilie is a man of unrivalled courage. Now I know it!"

"Back then, outside Xiling City, Liu Jingzhou captured Cao Ren alive in front of the two armies, and then defeated more than 30 generals in Cao's camp and captured Cao alive... Prime Minister Cao, I thought that most of these were exaggerated, but I didn't expect that they were all true."

"I heard that Xu Chu, a powerful general under Prime Minister Cao, could not survive more than nine rounds in Liu Jingzhou's hands, and that General Cao Xiu was thrown to the ground by Liu Jingzhou, along with his horse!"

"Taishigong said, [Yu's bravery is unparalleled throughout the ages], Liu Jingzhou's bravery is no more than that even if Xiang Yu is resurrected."

All the Han officials were amazed. Although the other officials who defected to Cao Cao did not speak, the admiration in their eyes when they looked at Liu Wu was almost tangible.

Xun Yu and Yang Biao said nothing, but sighed at the same time.

Two fists cannot defeat four hands. Even if Liu Zilie is brave, he is still alone. Without help, I am afraid he will not be able to escape the disaster today...

Ding ding ding! ~
Several spears of Cao's army were broken by Liu Wu's halberd!
Poof! ~
With a flash of cold light, the owners of several spears had already been cut into two.

The soldiers around him finally felt a chill in their hearts.

Liu Zilie was far braver than Lu Bu, and it was true. By this time, the corpses of his fellow soldiers had filled the streets of Xuchang, but this man became more and more courageous as the battle went on.

Can they really win today's battle?
Liu Wu looked back and saw Sun Shangxiang, with a pale face, leaning out of the carriage.

Although Sun Shangxiang had wielded swords and spears in Jiangdong, she had never seen such fighting on the battlefield. Although she was afraid, she was more worried that Liu Wu would encounter an accident.

Xilulu! ~
Liu Wu turned his horse around, rushed to the carriage, stretched out his arms, hugged Sun Shangxiang's slender waist, and held her in his arms in front of the horse.

Then Liu Wu whispered, "Cao Mengde can't do anything to me today, don't worry!"

Amid the earth-shaking shouts and cries of killing, although Sun Shangxiang's face was still pale, she was no longer panicked as she sat in Liu Wu's arms.

Liu Wu's bloody breath sprayed into Sun Shangxiang's ears:

"They are just chickens and dogs, not worth mentioning..."

Pulling the reins, Liu Wu turned his horse's head and headed straight into the depths of Xuchang.

Sun Shangxiang stopped talking. As long as she was with her husband, what did it matter even if she died in the city of Xuchang?
"kill!"

"Surround him! Surround him!!"

Liu Wu immediately took Sun Shangxiang with him, wielding his halberd more and more unscrupulously, swinging it horizontally and smashing it vertically. Wherever he went, it was like a mountain pressing down on one's head and no one could stop him!

At the gate of Xuchang, Cao Mengde had come down from the top of the city wall at some point and was standing on his horse, watching the battle surrounded by soldiers.

Seeing that the soldiers in the city suffered heavy casualties at the hands of Liu Wu, the old man's face became so gloomy that water could drip out of it!
Especially when he saw Liu Wu and Sun Shangxiang charging deep into the army, he could no longer hold back his anger: "What a bunch of fools!"

"Liu Zilie is so brave, how many people will die if we fight him head-on?!"

Cao Cao pointed to another carriage behind Liu Wu and said, "In that carriage sits Liu Wu's concubine. Quickly capture her first and pin down Liu Zilie!"

I heard that Liu Wu's concubine was introduced by his teacher Pang Tong, and she was a daughter of the Pang family in Jingzhou.

Liu Wu had always been arrogant, and this concubine was the daughter of Pang Shi from Jingzhou. For the sake of his teacher Feng Chu and Pang Shi from Jingzhou, Liu Zilie had no choice but to save this girl.

When the time comes, using this woman to restrain Liu Wu will surely make him afraid to act!
Immediately, a messenger rushed to the front of the battle line: "The Prime Minister has ordered that Liu Wu's concubine be captured first!"

"Quick! Drag the people out of the carriage!"

Cao Cao's military order had been issued, and more than a hundred people immediately rushed to the carriage. Several soldiers excitedly boarded the carriage and got into the carriage. This was Lady Pang, who must be a beautiful woman...

Poof! ~
"what!"

A silver spear with silver armor broke through the air and flew out of the carriage.

Several bodies flew out of the carriage and fell to the ground helplessly.

"Watch out for the gun!" A figure swooped down from the carriage and rushed into Cao's army.

But seeing this general in white robe and white armor, holding a bright silver spear and a Qingguang sword on his waist!

Wherever the guns passed, corpses were everywhere.

When the sword was raised, blood spread all over the sky.

The Cao soldiers who reacted were all stunned. The veterans who had experienced Changbanpo had a drastic change of expression:
"Yes, it's Zhao Zilong from Changshan!"

"Back off! Back off!"

Lady Pang suddenly turned into Zhao Zilong of Changshan? !
The excitement involved cannot be expressed in words.

The soldiers of Cao's army were terrified.

"Zhao Zilong?!" Cao Mengde, who was watching the battle from a distance, was completely stunned: "Why is he here again?"

The incident happened so suddenly that Cao Cao was caught off guard. When he thought of the scene at Changbanpo, his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

Now Zhao Yun and Liu Wu have joined forces...

Before he could react, a loud shout rang out: "Cao A Man!!"

boom! ~
A green figure suddenly rushed out of Liu Wu's concubine's carriage.

His face was as red as a date, with a long beard and a Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand. He looked like a god descending to the earth!
“Yunchang?!” Cao Cao’s body swayed, his face turned pale: “Yunchang, please listen to my explanation…”

"Hey!" Guan Erye's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "That day, I guaranteed you safety in Kunyang City, but I didn't expect that you would dare to lure my nephew into Xuchang and kill him today!"

"You bastard! I thought you were a hero, but it turns out you are just a villain!"

Xilulu! ~
As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Yu seized the horse of a Cao army lieutenant.
People are like tigers, horses are like dragons!
Guan Erye brandished his Green Dragon Crescent Blade like a gust of wind, and rushed straight to where Cao Cao was to kill him...
