Chapter 369

He was secretly shocked that the unknown Xing Daorong under Liu Bei's command actually had such great strength!

Sun Guan had wanted to test Xing Daorong's strength, but he didn't expect...

Xing Daorong was secretly proud. He had recently had his lord help him improve his axe technique, learning Guan Yu's first three moves, and by giving his all, the first three moves were fast and fierce!

Having tested Sun Guan's strength, how could Xing Daorong let him go? It was a rare opportunity to bully a weakling!

"Thief, die!"

The Pear Blossom Mountain-Splitting Axe in Xing Daorong's hand slashed down swiftly again!

The speed seemed even faster!

With another loud "clang," Sun Guan's thumb web split open, and he couldn't hold his long blade!

The Mountain-Splitting Axe turned into a flash of lightning, and with one more slash, blood sprayed wildly!

Sun Guan was directly beheaded by Xing Daorong!

Soldiers on both sides were shocked.

Both sides had been fighting for days, and not a single general had died. They didn't expect this round-faced general to actually achieve such a feat and kill Sun Guan!

"Mighty!"

"Mighty!"

Liu Bei's soldiers shouted!

Wen Chou whipped his horse and killed his way out.

"Thief, dare you fight again!"

Xing Daorong spat.

"Shameless, actually using a wheel-battle against me!"

He pointed at Dian Wei and Xu Zhu.

"If you have the ability, come at me together!"

After speaking, he whipped his horse back into the formation, with the expression of a victor, extremely proud.

Liu Bei had to give a thumbs-up to this guy's mentality...

Huang Zhong hadn't had enough fun fighting Wen Chou last time. "Old man Huang Hanzhong is here!"

Wen Chou secretly groaned. This old guy was truly difficult to deal with; after a long battle, he wasn't his match...

Halfway through the battle between Liu Bei and Cao Cao, the sound of muffled thunder rang out in the sky again, and dark clouds gathered.

The two had a tacit understanding and blew the horn for retreat.

Cao Cao led his men back to Xiapi City to avoid the rain.

Cheng Yu said worriedly,

"My lord, the rain is too heavy, much of the grain is wet, and more and more soldiers are catching colds."

Cao Cao frowned.

"When the rain stops, move the grain into Xiapi City, and call for famous physicians from Xu and Yan Provinces."

Cheng Yu reported the intelligence from various places.

Cao Cao was a bit surprised.

"I didn't expect this Military Sima Military Sima Zhongda to have the ability to lead troops."

He didn't want to reuse Military Sima Yi, having long ago seen that Military Sima Yi had the look of a hawk and a wolf.

However, now that Liu Bei was attacking everywhere, it was truly difficult to find a general who could stand alone.

"Military Sima Yi wore women's clothes and strolled on the city wall?"

A stinging scene appeared in Cao Cao's mind.

"This Military Sima Yi is definitely a talent."

"Man Chong is not bad either, defending the city well, and the Cao family's thousand-mile colt Cao Xiu can also stand alone now."

Cao Cao was very gratified; in this great battle, many talents had emerged on his side.

"Report~! My lord, urgent report from Huainan!"

Cao Cao's heart sank. Could something have happened to Shouchun?

Soon, he read the bamboo slip, his face turning ugly, and his body swayed.

Cheng Yu hurriedly supported Cao Cao.

"My lord, are you alright?"

Cao Cao said miserably,

"Le Jin has been killed, Hefei has fallen, and Han Fu has surrendered in Shouchun!"

Cheng Yu read the contents of the bamboo slip.

"Although Lu Xun is young, he has outstanding strategy. After he took Shouchun, all of Huainan belongs to Liu Bei. I fear he is already heading along the Ying River to attack Xuxian!"

Cao Cao muttered,

"Xun Yu was right; Xuxian cannot be defended, being attacked from two sides, and Guan Yu is still in Dong Commandery to the north!"

Cheng Yu cupped his fists.

"My lord, Xuxian's city defenses are excellent; holding for half a year is no problem. As long as Liu Bei makes no progress in Xu Province, he will eventually have to retreat, which means pushing the front line to the Huai River."

Cao Cao nodded.

"This battle still depends on the defense of Xiapi; all generals must be careful and cautious!"

"Rumble"

A few claps of thunder in the sky seemed to indicate that this battle would not be easy to fight either.

In Liu Bei's camp, the situation was not very good either.

Pang Tong came to report that some of the previous grain had become moldy due to dampness, and the number of soldiers infected with colds from being in the rain for a long time was increasing.

Even though Liu Bei had prepared medicine packets in advance, they couldn't stop this damn weather.

Xun You brought the good news that Lu Xun had occupied Hefei and Shouchun.

The generals were encouraged.

Zhang Fei laughed.

"Big brother, Cao Cao's Xuxian won't be able to hold on. He built it so well, and it's going to be ours again."

Liu Bei shook his head.

"Xuxian may not be that easy to take."

He looked at the map.

"Lu Xun's tens of thousands of troops might not be of much help in attacking Xuxian, but they can take Chenliu, making Xuxian an isolated city!"

He looked around.

"Tell me, how can we break Xiapi City and defeat the Cao Army?"

Liu Bei actually already had an idea in his heart, but he couldn't be the one to propose it.

Zhang Fei, Xing Daorong, and the others naturally had no good ideas.

Xun You and Guo Jia looked at each other.

"My lord, Strategist Guo and I have already thought of a way."

Xun You cupped his fists.

"We have a plan; Xiapi City can be taken immediately, better than an army of 200,000, and it can also rout Cao Cao's army outside the city."

Zhang Fei was overjoyed.

"Since there is such a plan, why not tell my big brother quickly?"

Xun You looked at the heavy rain outside the tent.

"The days of heavy rain have caused the Yi and Si Rivers to swell. Our army has set up camp on high ground and has boats in both rivers. As long as we dig open the Yi and Si Rivers, the flood will inundate the lowlands of Xiapi, and our army can take boats to attack Xiapi City directly!"

Everyone was shocked.

Taishi Ci muttered,

"I fear Cao Cao's 100,000-strong army will also be washed away."

Xun You continued,

"With the flood inundation, the area around Xiapi will become a marshland. Within a day or two, it should be navigable. The Cao Army will be trapped in the water, and our army can sail out to attack, inevitably crushing the Cao Army."

Liu Bei frowned.

"Although this plan is very good, it will cause great harm to the people."
