Chapter 110: Yu Jin Goes to Battle

Just like that, the Qiang people in Linqiang City were forcibly turned into slaves.

From now on, they would spend this unforgettable time in ten years of labor reform.

And after Ma Teng and Guan Yu and the others arranged the affairs of Linqiang City properly, they left five thousand troops for Zhang Cheng.

From now on, he would be responsible for the guard mission of Linqiang City.

Ma Teng and the others still had to rush to Wuwei Commandery to meet Liu Bian.

And at this time, Cao Cao and the others had also arrived at the last city of Longxi Commandery, He Guan City.

"Hehehe!"

"Miaocai, you say, this small He Guan City, with only five thousand troops, dares to refuse to surrender?"

At this time, looking at the last city of Longxi Commandery, Cao Cao said to Xiahou Dun beside him.

To say Cao Cao, he really had quite a few martial generals around him, including Cao Ren, the Xiahou brothers, Yu Jin, and others.

Compared to Zhang Liao's subordinates, it could be said that there were as many martial generals as clouds, and their strength was also at the Postnatal First or Second Heaven.

And Cao Cao also received the spirit stones sent by the Shadow Guards; after these days of cultivation, he successfully broke through to the Postnatal Third Heaven realm.

And Xiahou Dun and the others were also on the verge of breaking through; among them, Xiahou Dun was about to break through to the Postnatal Third Heaven realm.

This was also the biggest reason why Cao Cao could quickly take down these three commanderies.

"General, why don't I lead the soldiers to attack by force; He Guan City is just a small city and cannot stop our army's attack."

Xiahou Dun, after hearing Cao Cao's words, immediately asked to fight him.

Hearing this, Cao Cao waved his hand to stop him and said to him:

"Although He Guan is a small city, the defending general is Wang Fang under Dong Zhuo."

"He and Li Meng, who was stationed in Longxi City, have always had a good relationship; now that Li Meng has been killed by us, this Wang Fang will definitely avenge Li Meng."

"Moreover, Wang Fang is still somewhat capable, unlike other wine-bag and rice-sack people, so we cannot be careless!"

Cao Cao was not as reckless as Xiahou Dun and the others; originally, he didn't have many troops in his hands, and if he attacked by force, there would definitely be heavy casualties.

"Wen Ze, you invite Wang Fang to a duel; Li Meng was killed by you, as long as Wang Fang sees that it is you who go to battle, he will definitely come out of the city to fight!"

Only after Cao Cao pondered for a while did he cast his gaze on Yu Jin behind him and said to him.

"This subordinate obeys the order!"

Yu Jin heard this and immediately responded loudly to Cao Cao.

Subsequently, Yu Jin was seen holding a great blade, riding a war horse, and rushing toward He Guan City.

Yu Jin arrived a hundred paces outside the city gate and shouted loudly to Wang Fang on the city tower:

"Yu Jin of the Great Han comes to challenge; does Wang Fang dare to come out of the city and fight?"

Wang Fang had already arrived at the city tower when Cao Cao and the others arrived.

At this time, seeing Yu Jin coming to challenge, he came to the edge of the city tower, looked at Yu Jin below, and shouted loudly:

"Just you, Yu Jin, are not worthy of challenging this General; call your General, Cao Mengde, to come!"

Regarding Yu Jin's name, to be honest, he really hadn't heard of it; at this time, seeing him suddenly come to challenge him, Wang Fang naturally disdained to fight him.

After all, as a city defender, how could he be challenged by just anyone.

"Hahaha, I have to say, you and that guy named Li Meng really said the same thing."

"Both are so self-righteous; it's just a city defender, just a sixth or seventh-rank martial general, what is there to be smug about."

Yu Jin saw Wang Fang talking about their identities and immediately said with disdain.

It's just a seventh-rank defender, he really thought his position was very high.

After this war ends, based on his contributions during this period, it would be enough for a sixth-rank martial general position.

Moreover, he also had the strength of a Postnatal First Heaven, far from what the previous martial generals could compare to.

After Yu Jin finished speaking to Wang Fang, he

"Li Meng said the exact same thing as you back then, but in the end, he couldn't even last three moves in my hands."

"And I heard that among Dong Zhuo's subordinates, he was considered someone of some standing."

"And you, Wang Fang, it is said that your strength is not even as great as Li Meng's. You aren't just making excuses because you're afraid, are you!"

"Hahaha, if that's the case, as long as you obediently open the gates and surrender, I can ask General Cao to spare your life; that wouldn't be out of the question!"

After speaking, Yu Jin laughed triumphantly at Wang Fang. That laughter, filled with mockery, caused even the soldiers in the city to feel a surge of anger.

Wang Fang, meanwhile, was stunned by Yu Jin's remark that "Li Meng couldn't last three moves in his hands."

Although he knew that Li Meng of Longxi had been killed by Cao Cao and his men, he had never known who had actually beheaded him.

Now, the person who had killed Li Meng was right before his eyes, and he even dared to come and challenge him.

The reason he knew he couldn't be Cao Cao's opponent yet still dared to resist was precisely to avenge Li Meng.

Now that his enemy was right in front of him, Wang Fang's eyes turned red as he looked at Yu Jin.

"Yu Jin, did you kill Li Meng?"

Wang Fang shouted angrily at Yu Jin, his eyes fixed firmly on him.

"Hehehe, it was indeed I who killed him."

Yu Jin did not take Wang Fang's murderous gaze to heart and replied to him indifferently.

A mere Wang Fang was not worth his concern; even Li Meng had been killed by him, let alone Wang Fang, whose strength was not even as great as Li Meng's.

Upon hearing Yu Jin's admission, Wang Fang's eyes turned bloodshot, and a crazed murderous intent flashed within them.

"Yu Jin, stop being so arrogant! Today I will behead you and use your head to pay tribute to the spirit of General Li Meng in heaven!"

Seeing Wang Fang about to leave the city to fight, a flash of joy crossed Yu Jin's eyes. He immediately pretended to be angry and shouted at him:

"Hahaha, it's not yet certain who will behead whom. Since you dare to come out of the city to fight, then I shall wait for you."

Just as Yu Jin was waiting, the gates of Heguang City were slowly opened.

Wang Fang was seen holding a long blade, leading about a thousand soldiers as he charged out from the city.

"Yu Jin, die!"

In his rage, Wang Fang did not say another word to Yu Jin after leaving the city and charged straight at him.

"Hmph, well come!"

Seeing Wang Fang charging directly at him, Yu Jin let out a cold snort and likewise charged toward Wang Fang.

"Clang!"

The two men's long blades instantly collided.

"Hmph, nothing more than this!"

After the first exchange, as they passed each other, Yu Jin mocked Wang Fang.

After the clash just now, Yu Jin had already gauged Wang Fang's strength.

It was roughly at the level of a mid-tier second-rate martial general, weaker than Li Meng.

Wang Fang, however, ignored Yu Jin's mockery and looked at him with a rather solemn expression.

From that single exchange, he had already felt that Yu Jin's strength was greater than his own.

This could be seen from his slightly trembling hands.
