Infinite War Begins with Cao Thief

Chapter 136: No more honey… (all orders will be updated)

The news of Dong Zhuo's death spread very slowly. Dong Min, Li Jue, Guo Si and others all knew that the later the news spread, the better.

However, Dong Min was not afraid to pass the news to Dong Huang, Niu Fu, Dong Yue and others, but Li Jue and Guo Si, who lacked foreign aid, only dared to threaten Ma Teng.

Unfortunately, Li Jue and Guo Si could not find an ally except Ma Jiajun.

Zhihu Chi'er received Dong Min's message to Niu Fu when he was preparing to attack Xu County after plundering Nanyang.

This news made Zhihu Chier realize that an opportunity had come.

After easily stealing Xu County, which was guarded by a small number of Dong Zhuo's troops, Zhihu Chi'er used Dong Zhuo's identity and Niu Fu's banner to easily seize Yanzhou, which was once captured by Dong Huang and now has officials appointed by Dong Zhuo.

In Yanzhou, Zhihu Chier met a great talent - Chen Gong.

This made Zhihu Chier very happy.

Of course, Zhihu Chi'er knew that Chen Gong could not return to his own family as a second-year-old foreigner, but he was ready to give Chen Gong a task to contact Cao Cao and Cao Mengde. He wanted to surrender Yanzhou!

Zhihu Chi'er's goal is very clear, he wants to drive the tiger away and devour the wolf!

This is a strategy to drive away tigers and swallow wolves.JPG

Zhihu Chi'er, who has been lurking for so long, has a clear goal: I can't afford to offend you Dong Huang, so let Cao Mengde fight you. I just need to make some military achievements! Anyway, I have conquered the entire Yingchuan and Chenliu counties, and defeated a lot of miscellaneous fish. The war points are not enough compared to the previous ones, but they should be enough compared to the lower ones! I have to wait until Cao Mengde and Dong Huang are desperate to steal Cao Mengde's home later, tsk tsk...

However, what made Zhihu Chi'er angry was that Mr. Chen had an impure mind and gave him random ideas.

After Chen Gong learned about the changes in Chang'an, he suggested to support Hu Chi'er: it would be better to capture Luoyang and give it to Cao Gong.

After Chen Gong said this, Zhihu Chi'er scolded Chen Gong because he knew that Chen Gong didn't consider him at all and simply regarded him as cannon fodder.

Who doesn’t know that Luoyang is where Dong Huang started, and the armies of Dong Min, Li Jue, and Guo Si are in Chang’an. Going to Luoyang now, let alone whether Dong Min will worry about being cut off. If he has an idea, even Dong Yue and others People may not be able to help but take action.

Luoyang can be given to anyone, but it must not be given to the traitor Zhihu Chi'er.

The capture of Xuchang also inspired Zhihu Chi'er, who had the task of capturing the famous city, to know that it was good to capture the famous city, but the benefits and taking chestnuts from the fire for others are two different things.

If the mission is still a month away, Zhihu Chi'er will naturally take a gamble, but now there is still a little more than a year before the mission ends, and Zhihu Chi'er will naturally not take risks.

Now, these soldiers under him are his lifeblood.

And after killing Mr. Chen, the attribute skill rewards he received also made Zhihu Chi'er's eyes widen. When he killed Niu Fu, he had never received any rewards, which made him realize the randomness of the rewards.

Chen Gong was in trouble, but Cao Cao still wanted to surrender. Zhihu Chi'er found someone to bring gold and silver to surrender to Cao Cao.

He believed that Cao Mengde would definitely take him in even for the sake of the 50,000 elite soldiers under his command.

You know, these 50,000 people are not just random country warriors, but real elite field regiments! There are many third-level and fourth-level soldiers.

When Cao Cao received the news from Zhihu Chi'er's envoy, he was at the foot of Shouchun City.

Facing the coalition forces of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Yuan Shu was completely beaten and lost his temper.

Cao Cao's clan generals Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Cao Xiu were all fierce generals, and they were also assisted by Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Li Dian, Shi Huan, Zaozhi and others. During this period, they also trained an elite army, which was the same as that of Luoyang. War is not the same thing.

Although Yuan Shao left Jizhou in embarrassment, he was able to resurrect his corpse in Xuzhou. Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Sun Ce were all first-class or nearly first-class generals, and neither were Cao Bao, Han Meng, Gao Gan, Lu Xiang, Lu Kuang, Jiao Chu, and others. Among them were unknown people, in addition to Xu You, Guo Tu, Chen Gui, Chen Deng and other wise men, as well as Mi Zhu, a rich man, and the elite soldiers included the Danyang soldiers inherited from Tao Qian.

The combination of Yuan Shao + Cao Cao + Liu Bei + Sun Ce, against Yuan Shu, is impossible to lose even if you want to.

But at this moment, Yuan Shu could not leave even if he wanted to.

The land east of Jiangdong in the south was occupied by Dong Huang, and the retreat road to Runan in the west was blocked by Cao Cao.

Yuan Shu was desperate.

"Why did I, Yuan Gongli, come here!"

Yuan Shu pulled out his sword and slashed wildly.

However, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not say a word.

Now everyone knows that Yuan Shu is going to suffer, and what they are thinking about is how to find a new home before Yuan Shu's big tree collapses.

In fact, they have already found their next home.

The most important thing for these people to take refuge in Yuan Shu is that they are optimistic about Yuan Shu's background. But isn't there someone with a similar background to Yuan Shu outside the city?

"Your Majesty, for the present plan, we can only surrender to Yuan Xuzhou!"

Counselor Yang Hong advised.

"Surrender to that maid to give birth to a son?"

Yuan Shu was angry: "I am the legitimate son of the Fourth and Third Duke of the Yuan family and the King of Chu. Even if I die, I will not seek refuge with him!"

"I have decided to return to Runan!"

Yuan Shu said decisively.

"The king is wise."

The civil and military officers under his command responded feebly.

However, when Yuan Shu left Shouchun with his civil and military families, most of the army was dispersed. Some smart people had already chosen to open the city gate and surrender to Yuan Shao.

When Yuan Shu was thirty miles away from Shouchun City, there were only a few thousand men and horses left around him, and he fled in embarrassment under the protection of Zhang Xun.

In fact, Zhang Xun also wanted to surrender, but his men killed Cao Cao's father, which made it impossible for him to surrender at all.

"When we get to Runan, I will make you a general!"

Yuan Shu was moved by Zhang Xun's loyalty.

"Let's wait until Runan is alive!"

Zhang Xun sighed. He had only thought about escaping before, but then he realized that he seemed to be in a dangerous place with dense forests surrounding it, which was extremely conducive to an ambush.

"I hope not..."

Zhang Xun sighed.

But before he finished speaking, tens of thousands of Cao's troops ambush appeared around him.

"My little boy Yuan Shu, I'm going to capture you if I don't hesitate! My little boy Zhang Xun, please get off your horse quickly and die!"

Cao Cao personally took action and commanded the army to swarm forward, but Yuan Shu's army dispersed in a flurry.

Zhang Xun could no longer take care of Yuan Shu and ran for the road. However, he was caught up by the young general Cao Xiu and was knocked off his horse with a spear.

Yuan Shu was frightened, but he showed his extraordinary riding skills and finally got rid of his pursuers temporarily.

Hungry, thirsty and tired, he saw a house and knocked on the door, hoping to ask for something: "Anyone, please prepare some honey water for me..."

"There is no honey water, but there is one on Zhang Xun's head!"

A familiar voice came from the thatched house.

"What, there's no more honey?"

Yuan Shu was furious and was about to scold him, but his face suddenly changed.
