Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1137: First Battle of Hanzhong
Outside Hanzhong City, the two Shen brothers had already arrived with their troops and were challenging the enemy at the gate.

"People say that the eldest prince of the false emperor Liu He is so brave and heroic. Seeing him today is enough to prove that the rumors are not credible."

"That's right. I see that Liu Zheng doesn't have much flesh on his body. He is just a baby who has not been weaned. You should go back to Luoyang quickly to find your parents, haha..."

"Brother is right. We brothers are also from a famous family. How can we bully such a coward? You, Liu Zheng, quickly hand over Hanzhong to my master, or I will let you see the skills of my two brothers."

The soldiers behind the two of them also joined in the commotion and insulted Liu Zheng, which made Liu Zheng extremely angry. Guan Ping and others around him were also extremely angry.

"Two shameless bandits dared to challenge you, big brother. They simply don't know how to live or die! Big brother, let me go out of the city and take their heads."

Guan Ping volunteered, and Liu Zheng agreed after a little thought.

"Okay, my second brother, lead 8,000 elite soldiers and go out of the city to fight. Remember to be careful. Although these two are not famous generals in the world, they are also quite famous in Jingxiang. Don't be careless. If you can get the head, you will be credited as the first merit."

"Don't worry, big brother. I have martial arts skills, so why should I be afraid of these two little thieves?"

After saying that, he picked up his sword and went down from the city wall.

Guan Ping's martial arts had now matured. He wielded a broadsword with great power, as powerful as his father's in his youth. He led eight thousand soldiers, charging left and right among the enemy forces and achieved considerable success.

Shen Dan glanced at a short-bearded general beside him and said, "General Wang, you have been in Shangyong for more than half a year and have not made any achievements. Today is a godsend opportunity, and I will give it to you. If you can capture this man, although it will not be as good as Liu Zheng, it will also be a great achievement."

This man's surname was Wang and his given name was Wei. He was originally a close confidant of Cai Mao in Jingzhou. After Cai Mao was killed outside Hulao Pass, he was worried about his life and future, so he fled to Shangyong and asked the Shen brothers for shelter. Now that he has surrendered to Sun Ce, he was worried that he had not made any achievements, so he was overjoyed to hear this order.

He immediately clasped his fists and responded: "Thank you for the promotion, General. I will definitely capture Guan Ping alive and present him to you and my lord!"

After saying this, he called several dozen of his personal soldiers, rode out on horseback, and headed straight for Guan Ping.

"Hey, Guan Ping, look at the axe!"

When Guan Ping was fighting, he suddenly felt a murderous aura coming towards him. He was startled and swung his sword sideways to deflect the opponent's attack.

He looked at the enemy generals coming towards him and shouted, "Who are you? Tell me your name. If you are a cowardly bandit, retreat immediately to avoid contaminating my Guan family's sword."

Wang Wei was furious: "You are such a fool, how dare you say such arrogant things? I am Wang Wei from Xiangyang, and I have been ordered to capture you. It is not easy for you to have such martial arts at your age. You might as well give up the dark and surrender to my master, and I will spare your life."

Guan Ping was both angry and amused, and cursed: "Sun Ce, you bastard, are you worthy of being followed by me? You arrogant man, today I will take your head as a sacrifice."

After saying this, he swung the sword in his hand, clamped his legs on the horse, and took Wang Wei's head.

"System prompt: Guan Ping vs. Wang Wei."

"Guan Ping's basic force is 91, weapons, armor, and warhorse have been increased by 3 points in total, no special skills, and the current comprehensive force is 94 points."

"Wang Wei's basic force is 88, no bonus, and his current comprehensive force is 88 points."

Wang Wei raised his axe to block, but he only felt a huge force spreading from his arm to his whole body, making him feel numb all over, and he couldn't help but feel terrified.

"I didn't expect this young man to have such martial arts skills, but now the two Generals Shen are watching me. If I escape, won't my future be ruined?"

This put him in a dilemma for a moment.

It was his distraction that allowed Guan Ping, who was stronger than him, to gain the upper hand instantly. After only three rounds, a bloody mark was left on his shoulder.

Liu Zheng, who was watching the battle on the tower, was overjoyed when he saw this and punched the wall: "Third brother is really impressive."

Zhuge Liang, who was standing next to him, gently waved his feather fan, but his eyes were looking at the Shen brothers. Seeing him like this, Liu Zheng asked in confusion: "Brother, do you have another plan to destroy the enemy army?" Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Brother, you are joking. It only takes a snap of a finger to destroy the Shen brothers. Why would we need any plan? However, it would be a great idea to use them to deal with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu who are coming later."

Liu Zheng was somewhat surprised: "These two people opposed the Emperor's order to equalize the land. Their Shen family occupies nearly 40% of the land in Shangyong and Xiping, but refuses to hand over the excess land to the people. They must be following Sun Ce wholeheartedly at this time. Why would they turn against him and fight against the Jiangdong troops?"

"Haha, I have my own way to borrow their knife, big brother, just wait and see what happens to Shen Dan."

He pointed his feather fan forward, and Liu Zheng looked over, his expression changing immediately.

Shen Dan secretly took a short bow from behind. The bow was no longer than a human forearm, so the range should not be far. However, he was only about a hundred steps away from where Guan Ping was fighting. Seeing him aiming at Guan Ping, Liu Zheng became anxious.

However, just as he was about to shout and alert Guan Ping, Zhuge Liang stopped him.

"Don't worry, brother. Although this man's archery skills are excellent, he is just like an ordinary officer in the Shenji Camp. He will never hurt my life."

"But……"

Liu Zheng wanted to say something, but he heard a sound of breaking air, followed by Guan Ping's angry curse.

"You good thief, you stabbed me from behind, take this stab!"

Liu Zheng looked hurriedly, only to see that Guan Ping was shot in the left arm. However, after being injured, Guan Ping did not retreat. Instead, his anger made him three times more powerful.

"you you you……"

Wang Wei did not expect that a young general could be so fierce. He suddenly became cowardly and retreated instinctively. At this moment, Guan Ping rode forward, swung his sword and chopped him down.

"what……"

After a scream, Wang Wei's head was separated from his body and blood spurted into the sky.

After killing Wang Wei, Guan Ping was still not satisfied and looked at Shen Dan viciously.

"You bastard, come and get your life..."

While screaming, he rushed towards Shen Dan, wanting to avenge the hidden arrow.

However, the Shen brothers were veterans of the battlefield after all, and naturally they were not as easily frightened as Wang Wei. Shen Dan waved his hand, and the messenger beside him waved the command flag, and a team of spearmen and archers quickly ran to the two brothers and were ready for battle.

"Ding ding ding ding..."

The signal to call back came from the city wall. Guan Ping glared at Shen Dan angrily and had to turn around and go back to the city.

Inside the city, the military doctor was bandaging Guan Ping's wound when Liu Zheng came over with a look of concern on his face.

"Third brother, how is your injury?"

Guan Ping said nonchalantly: "It's just a superficial wound. That bastard's archery skills are not good. Although the arrow hit me, the tip of the arrow only penetrated an inch of my flesh. It's not a big deal."

"That's good." Liu Zheng felt relieved and then looked at Zhuge Liang.

"Second brother, you just said that the third brother's injury was the key to dealing with Sun Ce. I wonder what your reason is?"

Zhuge Liang walked up to Guan Ping, gently stroked the upper part of his arm, and raised his lips slightly: "If I guess correctly, this wound of yours is the essence of your first achievement in this battle. Big brother, third brother, please follow me to the Hanzhong topographic map, and I will explain it to you."
