Chapter 439

"General Li Dian was shot to death by Huang Zhong!"

"What! Yuanrang actually lost to a village rustic!"

When Cao Cao heard this news, his vision went black, and his head throbbed with pain!

"Yuanrang has ruined me!"

Cao Cao thought for a moment.

"Quick, immediately assemble the cavalry and follow me to reinforce Xia Hou Dun!"

"Understood!"

Cao Cao learned that the one who shot Li Dian was actually the fifty-three-year-old Huang Zhong, and he was amazed again.

"Such an old general can still fight!"

Liu Bei took Guo Jia ten miles out of the city to welcome Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and the victorious army.

"Kongming, Shiyuan, you are truly great talents!"

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong hurriedly dismounted and cupped their hands.

"My lord, it's all thanks to the soldiers following orders!"

Liu Bei encouraged the two, then looked at Huang Zhong.

"Hansheng has achieved great merit by shooting the Cao army's general Li Dian!"

Huang Zhong 593 couldn't help but shed old tears. Everyone thought he was old, but the lord firmly believed he could still fight for twenty years. This time, he finally lived up to expectations!

Liu Bei patted Huang Zhong on the shoulder.

"Let's go, let's enter the city to drink and celebrate!"

Zhang Fei laughed.

"Eldest Brother, I also beheaded one!"

Liu Bei nodded.

"Good, Yide also has great merit. This time, do you believe Kongming has great talent?"

Zhang Fei scratched his head embarrassedly.

"I believe, I believe!"

Everyone laughed loudly.

Returning to the city, Liu Bei held a banquet to celebrate the great victory and reward merit.

Huang Zhong didn't expect Liu Bei to give him two beauties from the Western Regions...

Gan Ning laughed.

"Brother Hansheng, if you don't want them, give them to me. I'm young and strong."

Huang Zhong's eyes widened.

"Gan Xingba, who are you looking down on? I'm still capable enough!"

Everyone laughed loudly; the old general is still capable!

Everyone drank and discussed matters.

Pang Tong cupped his hands.

"My lord, after this defeat, Cao Cao will surely lead a great army to attack. The Nanyang Basin has no defenses to hold."

Liu Bei nodded.

"Shiyuan's words are very true. Our army will return to Guan-Zhong tomorrow."

Guo Jia laughed.

"You don't need to worry. The lord has already arranged for the people to head to Wu Pass. In these few days, over two hundred thousand people have already crossed Wu Pass."

Zhuge Liang frowned.

"Nanyang Commandery has nearly two million people, and the north has over eight hundred thousand. If the Cao army rushes over, the people will be in danger."

Liu Bei nodded.

"Kongming is very right. What we do next is mobilize the people not to stay here—either follow us to Guan-Zhong or head to the south of Nanyang Commandery or Xiangyang to avoid the scourge of war."

Lu Xun learned something; this was to empty half of Liu Biao's Nanyang Commandery!

Guo Jia snorted.

"Liu Biao deliberately delayed notifying us for two days about the news that Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao intended to harm the lord. His heart is punishable!".
