Chapter 241

Zhang Zhang Liao did not forget to mock him!

Zhang Xiu was furious and also launched a fierce attack on Zhang Zhang Liao!

The two exchanged over thirty blows in an instant, and Zhang Xiu gradually began to falter.

"Clang!"

With a loud bang, Zhang Xiu lost his strength, his long spear slipped from his hand, and Zhang Zhang Liao took the opportunity to deliver a fierce slash!

"Swish!"

Zhang Xiu's head flew off!

Zhang Xiu was dead!

The surrounding soldiers were all shocked; their commander had died too quickly!

Zhang Zhang Liao shouted loudly,

"Zhang Xiu is dead! Kneel and you shall not be killed!"

The soldiers followed suit and shouted,

"Zhang Xiu is dead! Kneel and you shall not be killed!"

Zhang Xiu's soldiers had no heart left to fight; they threw down their weapons one after another and knelt on the ground.

Hu Hu Cheer was also tied up securely!

Zhang Zhang Liao and Yan Xing gathered the surrendered troops while sending a horseman to report urgently to Liu Bei!

Ba Ba Hebali was incredibly annoyed at this moment. He had been about to surround Liu Bei, but he never expected that Zhang Xiu would have his home stolen!

"That big-eared thief is truly treacherous!"

He did not have the guts to take his ten thousand troops to fight Liu Bei's five thousand, so he led his troops back in a hurry,

only to run into Zhang Xiu's routed army.

"What? The lord has been killed?!"

"Caught in Zhang Zhang Liao's ambush?"

Ba Ba Hebali suddenly felt lost. His beautiful dream had ended too quickly, and he felt completely terrible.

The A-San livestream room was also filled with despair!

"It's over. The big-eared thief can't be killed, and Ba Ba Hebali doesn't know what to do either!"

Ba Ba Hebali thought for a moment,

"All generals, hear my order: follow me and move toward Ye County!"

Zhang Xiu was dead, and he had become the last remaining seedling of Dong Zhuo's forces. The system had just prompted him that he could start his own business and become a lord.

Ba Ba Hebali almost cursed out loud. In this ghostly situation, was it a good time to start a business?!

He planned to defect to Cao Cao; once they defeated Liu Bei and occupied Wan City, he would be a feudal lord himself!

Thirty miles north of Xinye City,

"Report~!"

"My lord, Zhang Zhang Liao and Yan Xing ambushed Zhang Xiu. Zhang Zhang Liao beheaded Zhang Xiu in battle, and Wan City has been taken by Xu Sheng! Ba Ba Hebali is leading ten thousand troops to defect to Xia Hou Dun."

Everyone was overjoyed!

Liu Bei laughed,

"Kongming, Pang Shiyuan, this time it is all thanks to your planning!"

The two cupped their hands,

"We are just grateful to the lord for giving us the opportunity to perform."

Liu Bei stood up tall,

"Very well, now we shall move our forces to Wan County to confront Xia Hou Dun's army of sixty thousand."

"Understood!"

Duyang,

on the road from Ye County to Wan County,

Xia Hou Dun finished listening to the scout's report and cursed loudly,

"Zhang Xiu is truly a piece of trash!"

"Liu Bei is completely unharmed, yet he himself was killed, and Wan City was stolen!"

Li Dian frowned,

"General Xia Hou, our joint effort to encircle and annihilate Liu Bei has failed. We should return to Ye County."

Xia Hou Dun glared at Li Dian,

"Li Mancheng, you are far too cowardly. Zhang Zhang Liao only has eleven thousand men, plus Liu Bei's five thousand, that is only sixteen thousand in total."

"Our army has fifty thousand, plus the ten thousand Ba Ba Hebali brought, totaling sixty thousand. Now is the perfect time to kill Liu Bei, take Wan City, and occupy Nanyang Commandery for our lord!"

Le Jin's eyes also lit up. If these two things were accomplished, it would surely be a great merit!

Just then,

a scout came to report,

"Report~!"

"General, in Wan County, Liu Bei has appointed Zhuge Zhang Liang as commander and ordered him to lead thirteen thousand troops out of the city to march north and meet our army!"

"He himself is taking three thousand men to stay behind and guard Wan County."

Xia Hou Dun asked,

"Who is this Zhuge Zhang Liang? How did he gain such trust from Liu Bei?"

Li Dian cupped his hands,

"Commander, this Zhuge Zhang Liang is a farmer from Nanyang who lived in seclusion, plowing the fields in Longzhong. Recently, Liu Bei appointed him as an advisor in the General's Office."

Xia Hou Dun was furious and kicked over the table,

"How dare Liu Bei humiliate me like this!"

"He actually sent a farmer to lead the army and even marched out of the city to attack me?!"

Xia Hou Dun felt he had suffered a great insult and was truly offended,

"Pass the order down: the entire army is to set out and march on Wan City. I will kill that farmer and slice Liu Bei to pieces!"

Li Dian cupped his hands,

"Commander, Liu Bei using a farmer as commander is likely a ruse to make us arrogant. We must be on our guard."

Xia Hou Dun waved his hand,

"No matter. Liu Bei is indeed in Wan City. Whether it is a ruse or not, as long as we defeat Zhuge Zhang Liang, Liu Bei will have no troops to use, and he will be a turtle in a jar!"

"Send someone quickly to inform the lord of the situation here."

"Understood!"

Zhuge Zhang Liang was currently assigning generals northeast of Wan County,

"Huang Zhong, hear my order."

"Present."

"I order you to act as vanguard and lead four thousand troops north of Bowang Slope to meet Xia Hou Dun."

Zhang Fei laughed loudly,

"Zhuge the villager, what are you doing? Xia Hou Dun has sixty thousand troops, and you are sending Huang Zhong with four thousand? Isn't that just sending him to his death?"

Zhuge Zhang Liang frowned,

"Zhang Fei, the lord has appointed me as commander, and the command seal is here. If you dare to speak recklessly again, you will be dealt with by military law!"

Zhang Fei remembered Liu Bei's warning and snorted.

Zhuge Zhang Liang continued,

"General Huang must pretend to be defeated when engaging Xia Hou Dun; you are allowed to lose, but not to win!"

Huang Zhong:??

Lu Xun's eyes lit up.

Zhang Fei muttered, feeling that this villager was like a spy for Cao Cao!

Zhuge Zhang Liang continued,
