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

Cao Ren stood quietly on the top of the pass that towered into the clouds, gazing solemnly at the endless array of tents in the distance that stretched out like a long dragon.

The tents were densely packed together, and at first glance, there seemed to be no end.

As a general who has been on many battlefields, he naturally knows how to use troops.

With just a quick glance, he keenly realized that the layout of these tents was not chaotic, but rather the virtual and the real echoed each other, and the layout was very methodical.

It is true that Liu Bei is well versed in the art of war, and it is no accident that he has achieved what he has today.

If he were to engage in a head-on battle against such a well-trained and well-organized army in an open area, given his understanding of his own strength, he would probably not be able to win easily.

However, the situation at this moment was completely different. They were on a steep cliff, and the terrain was extremely dangerous.

Even the strongest and bravest soldiers would find it difficult to display their usual mighty fighting power in such an environment.

Standing on this majestic pass, Cao Ren had a strong confidence that he could hold the pass alone and defeat ten thousand.

This feeling was extremely real, without any sense of illusion. It seemed as if everything was within reach.

He could even clearly foresee that in the not too distant future, Uncle Liu would lead a group of soldiers and retreat in an extremely embarrassing manner.

Just at this moment, a faint sound of shouting and killing came into my ears, mixed with the crisp sound of weapons colliding with each other.

Judging from the sound alone, it was completely different from the normal training. Although there were shouting during the normal training, it was never so fierce and murderous.

"What on earth happened? Go and investigate immediately!" He frowned slightly and gave the order in a serious manner.

The soldiers beside him moved at the command, rushed out like an arrow, and rushed towards the direction where the sound came from.

Time passes by minute by minute, and every moment of waiting seems particularly long.

Finally, the soldier turned back like lightning.

However, the calm and composed expression just now was gone, replaced by a face full of unconcealable panic.

"General, this is terrible! The enemy suddenly launched an attack from behind us."

The soldier reported breathlessly, his words full of fear.

When Cao Ren heard this, his eyes widened suddenly and an indescribable look of doubt instantly appeared on his face.

How could the enemy suddenly appear in the rear? Could it be that there was a rebellion among the soldiers?

Countless questions flooded his mind, making him feel a little overwhelmed for a moment.

But as a general, he knew that there was no room for hesitation at this moment.

So, he took his weapon and hurried to the scene to check what happened.

When he was near the battlefield, the scene before him made him gasp - he saw a fierce general leading the troops, his horse galloping like the wind, his spear dancing like a dragon. Wherever he passed, his soldiers were no match for him and fell to the ground and died one after another.

And this person is none other than the world-renowned Zhao Zilong of Changshan!

This is not a rebellion, it is Zhao Yun who led his troops to attack. How is this possible?

During this period, Cao Ren always held on to this place and never slacked off for the slightest.

He knew every blade of grass, every stone and every road here by heart, and was familiar with every detail of this pass.

Because of this, he occupied a high position and was able to have an excellent view overlooking the area below, thereby effectively defending against enemies coming from the front.

However, as the saying goes, everything has two sides. Although the terrain here is dangerous and conducive to defense, it also has a fatal weakness - that is, it has almost no defense against the enemy behind it.

At this moment, the situation was extremely urgent, and Cao Ren knew that he had no choice. If he hesitated any longer, not only would this crucial pass be lost, but the entire battle situation would also be doomed.

Now the only way to turn the tide and hold this last line of defense is to burn our boats and go all out to completely defeat the enemy army led by Zhao Yun.

Cao Ren was so angry that his hair stood on end, and he let out a deafening roar: "Kill!"

With this roar, he led the way, waving the gleaming weapon in his hand, leading the many soldiers under his command to surge out like a tide, charging towards the enemy ahead.

For a moment, shouts of killing and the sound of metal clashing intertwined and resounded through the sky.

Liu Yu, who was standing at the pass, had been calculating the time of Zhao Yun's arrival. When he saw the faint flash of a sword above the pass, Liu Yu knew that Zhao Yun had arrived.

He looked at Huang Zhong who had been asking for a fight, and said slowly: "Han Sheng, let the soldiers attack!"

Huang Zhong was filled with joy as he led his soldiers towards the pass.

Under attack from both inside and outside, Cao Ren was quickly defeated.

When Zhao Yun's spear was against Cao Ren's throat, he closed his eyes in despair.

In the pass, Liu Yu sat in the middle.

"Zilong captured Cao Ren and broke through Jiange this time, which was a great achievement. I will definitely ask for a reward from Your Majesty."

Zhao Yun bowed and saluted, and humbly replied: "If it weren't for my lord's brilliant plan, I wouldn't have achieved anything."

"Zilong, there is no need to be modest. The hardship in this 700-li deserted land is definitely not something that ordinary people can endure. Zilong deserves this reward!"

After Zhao Yun bowed and thanked him, he asked, "My lord, now that we have conquered Jiange and occupied Fucheng, shouldn't we take advantage of the situation to attack Mianzhu, then besiege Chengdu and completely defeat Cao Cao?"

"That's right. Mianzhu is nothing to worry about. When the army arrives, Mianzhu will be destroyed."

Huang Zhong saluted and said, "My lord, Zilong has made great achievements. I am willing to be the vanguard and lead the soldiers to attack Mianzhu."

Liu Yu laughed and said, "Okay, you will lead 30,000 troops as the vanguard to capture Mianzhu. I have a secret plan. You lead the army to the city of Mianzhu and follow the plan. Within three days, Mianzhu will surely fall."

Huang Zhong stretched out his hands respectfully and took the mysterious sachet steadily.

His eyes were fixed on the brocade bag, as if he could see through the thin cloth to the ingenious plan hidden inside.

Just as he was about to open the brocade bag, a calm and firm voice was heard.

"Han Sheng!" Liu Yu said slowly, "In order to prevent the plan in the brocade bag from being leaked, it won't be too late to open it after we reach the city of Mianzhu!"

Huang Zhong felt restless. The brocade bag was like an attractive magnet, attracting him to uncover the secret inside.

However, facing Liu Yu's serious warning, even though he was itching to do so, he also understood that military orders were as heavy as a mountain and he must not disobey them in the slightest.

So, he suppressed his inner desire and carefully put the sachet into his arms.

When Huang Zhong led the vanguard team farther and farther away and their figures finally disappeared at the end of the road, Liu Yu slowly turned around.

He raised his head and looked into the distance, his eyes passing over the tents and soldiers in front of him, and falling on the rolling, towering mountains in the distance.

At this moment, a feeling of heroism involuntarily surged in his chest.

The door to Yizhou has been opened, and this vast land has lost its natural barrier, becoming easy to attack and difficult to defend.

And relying on the powerful military force he currently possesses, he will be able to completely pacify Yizhou soon.
