Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

The siege of Qiao County was still in full swing, but as time went on, Liu Huangshu's siege team seemed to have gradually lost its former spirit.

Perhaps because of the pressure brought by the long-term failure to capture the city, or perhaps because of the influence of other unknown factors, their siege efforts became weaker and weaker, and they even showed obvious signs of fatigue and loss of fighting spirit.

The defenders of Qiao County noticed this change, and a hint of contempt and ridicule appeared on their faces.

Earlier, they had heard about the glorious record of Liu Bei leading his army to capture three counties in just ten days. Such terrifying combat power made them feel afraid.

At the same time, it also aroused a stronger desire to fight in their hearts. However, judging from the battle situation in the past two days, the actual performance of Liu Huangshu's soldiers was far less powerful than the rumors said.

After only two days, the soldiers' morale had hit rock bottom.

The high morale is now gone, replaced by frustration and disappointment.

Faced with such a demoralized army, it was almost a fantasy to want to capture the city of Qiao County.

The soldiers defending the city secretly rejoiced and at the same time gained more confidence in their own strength.

They firmly believed that as long as they remained vigilant and held their positions, they would be able to resist Liu Bei's attack.

They even began to fantasize that in the near future, Liu Bei's army would retreat in vain, and if they took advantage of the situation, it would not be difficult to defeat Liu Bei.

Just as the defenders of Qiao County were immersed in the fantasy of defeating Liu Yu's army, Zhang Fei led his subordinates and appeared in Qiao County quietly like a ghost.

What's going on? This is too weird. The four gates of Qiao County were closed. How did they get in?

The Qiao County defenders, who were originally full of fighting spirit, were shocked by the strangeness. Like a deflated balloon, they instantly lost their fighting spirit.

Zhang Fei's heart was burning with rage. He widened his eyes and stared at the defenders in front of him, as if he had instantly transformed into a god of killing.

Zhang Fei's momentum was unstoppable and he quickly broke through the city gate, throwing the defenders in the city into chaos.

At this time, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao led another elite force into the city. They cooperated with Zhang Fei to form a powerful force, further undermining the defenders' will to resist.

The defenders witnessed the bravery and fighting skills of the soldiers under Liu Huangshu's command, and they could not help but feel deep fear and despair in their hearts.

At this moment, the Qiao County garrison finally understood how stupid and ridiculous it was to laugh at Liu Huangshu.

They were fully aware of the powerful fighting power of the soldiers led by Liu Huangshu. In this short and fierce battle, they were defeated miserably.

After Liu Yu captured Qiao County, he began to post notices to appease the people.

After doing all this, Guo Jia put forward his own suggestions.

"My lord, our army has just occupied Qiao County and our morale is high. Now is the perfect time to conquer the entire Pei State."

"Feng Xiao is right, but before that, I have to find someone."

"Who is the Lord looking for?"

"Xu Chu, Xu Zhongkang, he is very skilled in martial arts, not inferior to Yide, and most importantly, he is a local. If we can recruit him, it will be of great benefit to our occupation of Pei State."

……

……

On a small path dozens of miles away from Qiao County, Liu Yu was leading everyone slowly forward.

The road was very muddy because it had just rained.

Ma Chao looked at the winding muddy path and felt puzzled.

Could there really be a peerless master living in such a desolate place?

It doesn't look like it. If there really is such a place, I would have left here long ago.

As the road became narrower and narrower, Ma Chao became more and more doubtful.

"My Lord, are you sure Xu Zhongkang lives in the front?"

"It's correct. I sent people to investigate here a few days ago. If we go two or three miles ahead, we will see a village. Xu Zhongkang lives in the village ahead."

"Is his martial arts really as powerful as the lord says?"

Liu Yu smiled faintly.

"Mengqi, when you see Zhongkang later, you can compete with him, but don't blame me for not reminding you. With your current martial arts skills, it will be difficult to gain an advantage over him. If you want to defeat him, it will take at least several years."

A few years later, Ma Chao became somewhat discouraged. Since he left Xiliang, among all the generals he met, except Zhang Youwei, all the others could defeat him.

I thought that this time finding Xu Zhongkang would be an exception, but who knew that his martial arts skills were also better than mine.

They are all so powerful, who can you go to for justice?

Looking at Zhang Fei's smug face, Ma Chao felt a little depressed.

"My lord, how does this man's martial arts compare to Yide's?" Ma Chao had an expression of watching the fun and not being afraid of trouble on his face.

"If we only talk about martial arts, he may not be as skilled as Yide; but if we compare strength, he is worse than Yide. In my opinion, their martial arts skills should be evenly matched and it is difficult to tell who is better."

A slight smile appeared on Ma Chao's face. He looked at Zhang Fei, and the expression in his eyes was very obvious.

Aren't you showing off? Aren't you still the same as me, unable to defeat Xu Zhongkang?

Looking at Ma Chao's somewhat mocking expression, the smile on Zhang Fei's face froze for a moment.

How is it possible that he is stronger than me?

From the Peach Garden Oath of Brotherhood to the Battle of Qiao County, Zhang Fei participated in many battles, big and small, and encountered many opponents. The only one who could surpass him in strength was Lü Fengxian, who was known as the best in the world.

Although Zhang Fei did not say that he was intimidated by Lu Fengxian's martial arts, deep down he had to admit that Lu Bu's martial arts were too high and he would never be able to defeat him no matter what.

Now, according to the uncle's words, Xu Zhongkang is so powerful, isn't he comparable to Lu Bu?

Liu Yu seemed to have sensed Zhang Fei's thoughts, patted him on the shoulder and consoled him, "Don't be anxious, Yide. Although Xu Zhong is quite powerful, he is not as experienced as you. If it is a life-and-death contest, he will surely be defeated by your Zhangba Snake Spear."

After hearing Liu Yu's words, Zhang Fei's eyes did not show much joy, but instead there was a look of eagerness on his face.

"Youwei, don't attack for a while. Let me learn Xu Zhongkang's martial arts first."

Ma Chao nodded. Although there was no expression on his face, he was very happy in his heart.

Since the emperor's uncle explained it so clearly, Xu Zhongkang must be a good martial artist. Since Yide wanted to fight him first, he would be happy to do so.

Let Yide try his martial arts first. If Yide can win easily, I still have the strength to fight him. If Yide loses, I don't need to fight him.

If I take action myself, it's like Confucius moving house, I'll just lose (books).
