Wei Xiaobao's Three Kingdoms Adventure

Chapter 128 A Troublesome Idea

The smug look on Taishi Ci's face froze before it could fully unfold.

After the double halberds pierced Wei Xiaobao, there was no blood gushing out as Taishi Ci had expected.

The precious clothes blocked the sharp blades of the double halberds, but could not relieve the force, and the pain made Wei Xiaobao cry.

After the two horses passed each other, Taishi Ci's face was full of disbelief. He had fought on the battlefield for many years, and this was the first time he saw an enemy general being invulnerable to swords and spears. It was also the first time he saw an enemy crying because of his beating on the battlefield.

Wei Xiaobao rubbed his chest and cursed: "You are too unrighteous. You attacked me without even shouting!"

Taishi Ci was confused by Wei Xiaobao's words.

Wei Xiaobao thought to himself, "If it weren't for this precious robe, I would have turned into a ghost. Oh, and my elder brother said that with my riding skills and this precious robe, no one should be able to hurt me. So I'm going to have some fun with this Taishi Ci."

Thinking of this, Wei Xiaobao loosened the reins and ran straight towards Taishi Ci.

Taishi Ci thought that Wei Xiaobao was really going to start the attack after he shouted, but when he suddenly saw him rushing towards him, he hurried forward to fight.

When the two were about to exchange moves, Wei Xiaobao gently pulled the reins, the horse's head tilted, and the two sides passed each other.

Wei Xiaobao taunted on his horse: "I can't hit it! I can't hit it!"

Taishi Ci turned his horse around to fight, and Wei Xiaobao used the same trick again.

After more than ten rounds, Taishi Ci didn't even touch Wei Xiaobao's horse hair, but he was exhausted and sweating.

If a person punches a hard object with all their might, they won't feel too tired. However, punching a soft object like cotton will actually consume more energy. Furthermore, someone like Taishi Ci always gives it his all, yet never gets a chance to strike.

Zhang Fei saw it clearly from behind and realized that Wei Xiaobao was using a tactic of exhaustion. He couldn't help but laugh: "This kid has a lot of evil ideas in his mind. Even if I go into battle to fight him, I'm afraid I'll suffer."

Taishi Ci fought more and more fiercely, and fought harder and harder, until both he and his horse were so tired that they were gasping for breath.

Wei Xiaobao, on the other hand, walked as leisurely as if he were riding a horse. Seeing Taishi Ci stop, he began to taunt again: "You can't even beat a nameless person like me, and you still want to fight my third brother?"

Only then did Taishi Ci realize that he had been tricked. He took out a bow and arrow from his horse bag and aimed at Wei Xiaobao.

Wei Xiaobao shouted, "Damn it, how come you know this trick?"

Wei Xiaobao turned his horse around and ran away. Taishi Ci was so angry that he wanted to kill Wei Xiaobao, so he aimed at Wei Xiaobao's head and urged his horse to chase him.

Seeing that things were going badly, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai hurriedly shouted from behind.

Taishi Ci was so angry that he could not listen to anyone's advice.

Zhang Fei saw Wei Xiaobao running back to the battle formation and shouted, "Here he comes!"

Before he finished speaking, the black horse had already galloped out, and Zhang Fei on the horse was also empty-handed, rushing towards Taishi Ci with his teeth and claws bared.

Taishi Ci heard Zhang Fei shouting, and when he turned around, Zhang Fei was already behind him.

Before Taishi Ci could shoot the arrow, Zhang Fei had already grabbed the back of his collar and belt.

Zhang Fei roared, "Get up!" Taishi Ci was pulled off his horse by Zhang Fei and then lifted into the air!

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Bozhi! How about this move of Overlord Lifting the Tripod?"

Seeing Taishi Ci's limbs dancing wildly in the air, Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but laugh: "Third brother, this move shouldn't be called Overlord Lifting the Tripod, it should be called Overlord Lifting the Turtle!"

The soldiers in the army also laughed and cheered!
Taishi Ci was already so angry that his face turned red and he was filled with shame.

Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, who arrived with their troops, were too late to rescue him and were forced back by Zhang Fei's soldiers. Taishi Ci was tied up and thrown in front of the army.

Zhang Fei said to Cheng Pu, "My military advisor said I'll spare your lives, but you have to leave the soldiers and the food behind!"

Only then did Cheng Pu understand the purpose of Zhang Fei and Wei Xiaobao's ambush here.

Looking at Taishi Ci lying on the ground, Cheng Pu gritted his teeth and said, "This feud is irreconcilable!"

After saying this, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai rode away.

Zhang Fei kicked Taishi Ci on the ground and yelled, "Get the hell out of here!"

Taishi Ci was kicked to his feet by Zhang Fei, and with ropes tied around his body, he chased after Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, covered in dust.

After capturing Lujiang, the problem of lack of talent in Liu Bei's army became increasingly serious, and he even faced the situation of no one to defend Lujiang.

Yang Hong, who was accompanying the army on the expedition, had been sent across the river by Zhuge Liang to persuade Lu Fan. Zhuge Liang himself was also looking for talents in Lujiang and inquiring about Liu Ye's whereabouts.

Not long after, Huang Zu of Jiangxia led his troops to attack Lujiang.

Zhuge Liang had no choice but to follow his original plan, abandon Ruxukou and Wanjiang Port, suspend naval training, and retreat to Lujiang for defense.

Liu Bei repeatedly sent letters to Liu Biao asking about Huang Zu's dispatch of troops. At first, Liu Biao replied with evasion, but later he simply stopped replying.

Fortunately, Cheng Pu's soldiers and military supplies were left behind, so Lujiang was temporarily out of danger.

Huang Zu only dared to deploy his troops on the river and did not dare to land.

In this way, Liu Bei and Liu Biao's subordinates were in a situation of confrontation between land and water in Lujiang.

Yuan Shao in the north launched an attack on Cao Cao under the pretext of defending the king. In less than a month, he captured Baima Port and formed a siege on Guandu.

One day, Zhuge Liang was sitting in front of a map thinking about how to solve the problem. Wei Xiaobao had nothing to do and wanted to go back to Xia Pi, so he ran to Zhuge Liang to ask for leave.

Seeing the map in front of Zhuge Liang, Wei Xiaobao curiously leaned over and asked, "Military Advisor, where did you get this map?"

Zhuge Liang asked curiously, "Does Bozhi also know the map?"

Wei Xiaobao thought to himself, "Who are you looking down on? I found the treasure with the help of a map. And if I didn't know the map, how could I have brought the fake Liu Xie all the way from Chang'an to Chenliu?"

Wei Xiaobao smiled slightly and said, "I understand a little bit."

Zhuge Liang pointed at the map and said, "Yuan Shu and Cao Cao are currently at war, while we are facing Liu Biao. This stalemate is really disadvantageous to us. If Yuan Shao and Cao Cao decide the winner, I'm afraid we will have no choice but to retreat to Shouchun and surrender Xuzhou."

Wei Xiaobao was also furious: "This old bastard Liu Biao doesn't keep his word and actually stabbed me in the back."

Zhuge Liang said, "The situation in the world is like this. The various princes are either trying to protect themselves or to fight for supremacy. Who would sit there and wait for someone to put a knife to their neck? Liu Biao is also worried that the lord's power will grow and threaten him. Moreover, this has always been part of my plan."

Wei Xiaobao pointed at the map and asked, "Military Advisor, do you know who is guarding Runan now?"

Zhuge Liang said, "Li Tong, the governor of Runan, is from Pingchun, Jiangxia. He is skilled in the use of spears and has a good command of infantry, especially spearmen, in drill and deployment."

Wei Xiaobao continued, "Cao Cao sent my eldest brother to attack Shouchun. Why can't we send Cao Cao's men to attack Jiangxia? Huang Zu and Gan Ning are still occupying our harbor and refusing to return home after their homes have been robbed."

Zhuge Liang smiled and twirled his beard, saying, "You are indeed as the three generals said, full of evil schemes."
