Chapter 1766

"Then Brother Cao, what is your high opinion?" Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao, a flash of anticipation in his eyes.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said: "We can divide into two routes. One route consists of elite troops and strong generals to raid Sishui Pass, attracting the main force of the Xiliang army; the other route lies in ambush outside Sishui Pass. When the Xiliang army comes out of the pass to rescue, we will launch a sudden attack, which will surely make them unable to attend to both ends."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao's eyes lit up: "This plan is excellent! But who should take on the heavy responsibility of raiding Sishui Pass?"

The main tent fell into silence for a moment. Everyone knew that the task of raiding was extremely dangerous; a slight carelessness could lead to the annihilation of the entire army.

"I am willing to go!" Suddenly, a firm voice rang out. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yuan Shu standing out. Although his left arm was injured, his eyes were exceptionally firm.

"Shu'er, you..." Yuan Shao was shocked, clearly not expecting Yuan Shu to volunteer.

"Brother, although I, Yuan Shu, am not a hero, I am definitely not a person who fears death. I must avenge tonight's hatred myself!" Yuan Shu said through gritted teeth.

Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Shu, moved but also inevitably worried. But he knew that since Yuan Shu had already decided, it would be difficult to change his mind.

"Good! Shu'er, since you have this determination, the task of raiding Sishui Pass will be left to you. But remember, safety first. If the situation is impossible, you must retreat in time." Yuan Shao said in a deep voice.

Yuan Shu nodded and turned to leave, but his heart was already burning with a raging fire of revenge.

A few days later, Yuan Shu led a group of elite troops and quietly approached Sishui Pass. Cao Cao led another large army and lay in ambush outside Sishui Pass, waiting for the opportunity.

The night was like ink, and the lights on Sishui Pass were dim. Yuan Shu looked at the pass in front of him and sneered in his heart. Tonight, he would let Hua Xiong and Gu Yi know that he, Yuan Shu, was not so easy to bully!

"Attack!" At Yuan Shu's command, the elite troops launched a fierce attack on Sishui Pass like ghosts.

However, what they did not expect was that Sishui Pass had long been prepared. Hua Xiong and Gu Yi seemed to have anticipated their arrival and had long set up many traps.

A bloody battle quietly unfolded in the night. Although Yuan Shu was brave, he felt the strain when facing the stubborn resistance of the Xiliang army and Gu Yi's wisdom.

Just then, outside Sishui Pass, Cao Cao's army also launched an attack. However, they encountered an ambush by the Xiliang army. It turned out that Gu Yi had long anticipated Cao Cao's ambush and had made preparations in advance.

For a time, both armies were trapped in a bitter battle. Yuan Shu was injured in several places during the battle but still insisted on commanding. He had only one thought in his heart: he must defeat Hua Xiong and avenge that arrow!

However, just as he was about to break through the defense line of Sishui Pass, a cold arrow suddenly flew from the dark, aiming straight for his vital point. Yuan Shu was shocked but it was too late to dodge.

"Puchi!" The cold arrow pierced Yuan Shu's chest, and blood gushed out. Yuan Shu widened his eyes, looking at the arrow in his chest in disbelief. He never thought he would die under such a cold arrow.

"My lord!" Ji Ling exclaimed and rushed forward to support Yuan Shu. However, Yuan Shu was already gasping for breath and could not even speak.

"Retreat... retreat..." Yuan Shu used his last bit of strength to say these two words and then had no more breath.

Ji Ling was heartbroken but knew this was not the time to be sad. He endured the grief and led the remaining troops to retreat. On Sishui Pass, Hua Xiong and Gu Yi looked at the retreating enemy army, a victorious smile on their faces. ===== CHAPTER 1767 =====
