Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

"I can't help it, but... There is one person who may have a way!"

Cao Cao frowned slightly: "Who? Who else has this ability?"

Under everyone's gaze, Xia Houzhe chuckled and looked at Zhang Lu who was wearing a Taoist robe.

"Hey, Zhang Tianshi! Is there a guy named Wang Ping under your command?"

Zhang Lu's eyes kept staring at the smoking ice cream.

I kept thinking in my heart, this guy...how could he take things out of thin air?Is he my Taoist expert?

Hearing Xia Houzhe's question, Zhang Lu replied in a daze.

"Wang Ping? I haven't heard of it, but my generals have been merged with General Cheng Yu. I have to let General Cheng look for it."

Everyone turned their eyes, and Qi Qi looked at Cheng Yu, as if scolding him for being ignorant.

Cheng Yu smiled awkwardly: "I'll look for it right away, you guys wait!"

"By the way, old man Zhang, from now on...don't call me a general, I'm a civil servant, a civil servant!"

After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he rushed to the army, looking for the man named Wang Ping.

Zhang Lu stroked his long beard and tilted his head full of doubts.

"Advisors will also lead troops? Are you still fighting so fiercely? Are you going to the grave to burn newspapers, fooling ghosts?"

"By the way, Mr. Xiahou, you..."

Zhang Lu wanted to ask about the method of fetching the object, but Xia Houzhe was obviously wrong.

"Although the making of my ice cream is cumbersome, for your daughter's sake, I'm giving you one, take it!"

The corners of Zhang Lu's eyes twitched, and he swallowed the rest of the words.

I was secretly sad in my heart: stepping on the horse to see my daughter's face again?Can't you just look at my face?Could it be that I, Zhang Lu... are not worthy?After all, I am also a celestial master!

Zhang Lu sighed, and subconsciously licked the ice cream.

Just this one mouthful made his eyes light up.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! This thing is really delicious, refreshing and relieving the heat!"

"Then... well, can you give me another one for my daughter's sake?"

"Get lost! It's gone!" Xia Houzhe rolled his eyes.

Amidst the laughter, ten minutes passed quickly.

Cheng Yu also walked in with a fifteen or sixteen-year-old soldier under everyone's gaze.

"Yuanyi, the man has brought it here, can you see if it's this one?"

Xia Houzhe nodded, and looked at the partial general with some surprise in his eyes.

"Prince Jun? You're a little young, and you're joining the army at such an age?"

Wang Ping saluted respectfully, with some doubts in his eyes.

"This subordinate has met the handsome and extraordinary Mr. Xiahou! Mr. Jiuwen is the most handsome person in the world. It is a great honor to meet my subordinate today!"

"Although my subordinates are young, there is a frail and sick old mother who needs to be supported at home, so I can only join the army to gain fame. When I have money, I can do my filial piety and let my mother live better!"

Hearing Wang Ping's words, everyone raised their brows in surprise.

This guy looks honest, and he can talk!

The pattern opens instantly!

Xia Houzhe nodded in satisfaction, and patted his shoulder appreciatively.

"Hmm...he's a good young man, all goodness and filial piety come first."

"If you can talk, talk more, don't go to the barracks in the future, and be a lieutenant next to my apprentice Lu Xun!"

Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, and looked at him in disbelief. An ordinary person was placed beside him?

Is this a feeling of compassion?Or... is this kid really capable?

"Brother, you..."

"Ann! Believe me, when have I misjudged someone? This guy has this strength, and he will definitely become a general!"

Xia Houzhe waved his hand and gave Cao Cao a reassuring look.

Cao Cao then nodded and said nothing more.

Wang Ping is overjoyed!

"Thank you, my lord, and my prime minister! The little one is sure to die!"

He who was originally mediocre, unexpectedly soared into the sky because of this summoning.

In addition to being pleasantly surprised, he also understood that the other party must have something to do with looking for him specifically, and it was definitely not because he wanted to hear himself praise him for being handsome.

"Dare to ask... why is the prime minister looking for the last general?"

"As long as the general knows, he will know everything!"

Xia Houzhe waved his hand and explained his purpose.

After listening to his words, Wang Ping raised his head in doubt, with a bit of shock in his eyes.

"Prime Minister, how do you know that I know that path? I haven't told anyone else, logically no one should know that I know."

The corner of Xia Houzhe's mouth twitched: "Don't go around! Can you walk on that path? Can you really enter Yangping Pass?"

Wang Ping arched his hands and patted his shoulders confidently.

"Of course! This subordinate has lived here for so long, often going up the mountain to cut firewood, and found that road by accident."

"Subordinates bring their prey from time to time, and turn into Yangping Pass from that small road to sell! This way we don't have to pay tolls."

"However... that road is very sideways, and there are many weeds and thorns. Every time the subordinates pass by, they will be scratched all over their bodies."

In ancient times, there were guards guarding the gates between some checkpoints, and some money was collected openly and secretly before they could be released.

Poor people like Wang Ping have food and clothing as a problem, so where can they get the money to pay taxes?

Therefore, we can only find another way!

Xia Houzhe nodded in satisfaction: "It's not a problem if it's difficult to walk, as long as you can get in there! Come on, take us to see!"

Wang Ping took the order, and respectfully led Cao Cao, Xia Houzhe and the others to the path.

This so-called small road... did not live up to what Wang Ping said, it was both sideways and difficult to walk.

Dogs dare not cross the luxuriant thorn trees. It is better to say that there is no road than a path.

No wonder no one found it here!

Only a poor person like Wang Ping would endure the pain of thorns piercing his skin and walk here forcibly in order to save those few copper coins.

After finding this place, Cao Cao immediately dispatched three generals, Huang Zhong, Lu Bu, and Wang Yue, together with Zhang Yun to lead the Shenji Battalion and more than ten thousand elites to follow behind Wang Ping.

Taking advantage of the darkness, a group of people surreptitiously crossed the Yangping Pass.

And Cao Cao himself led his troops to go outside the ambush circle at Yangping Pass again, but he didn't attack but beat drums from time to time, so he deployed suspicious soldiers to attract the attention of the enemy.

Cao Ying's drums rang all night, and Liu Bei also stayed up all night, fearing that Cao Cao would suddenly attack suddenly.

On the contrary, the people in Cao Ying slept peacefully with cotton stuffed in their ears, and they were not afraid of the night attack of Liu Bei, whose courage had been broken.

Two or three o'clock in the morning of the next day is when people are most tired.

However, the Yangping pass suddenly burst into flames, and the sky was dyed red by the flames, and the soldiers in the pass were almost invisible due to the thick smoke.

At the same time, the sky-shattering shouts of killing resounded in the pass!

The exhausted Shu army was caught off guard, and Lu Bu Wang Yue and his men descended like gods, constantly slaughtering the defenders.

There is no single enemy in the Shu army!

This sudden enemy soldier caused chaos in the pass.

Panicked, the Shu army could only flee everywhere, and even Guan Yu, Yan Liang and others couldn't dispatch them.

When Cao Cao outside the pass saw this, his eyes were happy, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to launch a strong attack outside the pass.

"Kill! Break through Yangping Pass and capture Liu Bei alive!"

The soldiers of Cao Ying were as powerful as a broken bamboo, and they had already recharged their batteries, facing the exhausted Shu army, they were almost crushed!

With the ambush inside disrupting the situation, Liu Bei was in a mess.

"Brother! It's not good, our food and grass were burned by those bastards! They have already killed outside the barracks!"

Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Guan Yu rushed to Chengguan to report to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was shocked, he did not expect that there would be enemy troops inside.

"What? Aren't we sticking to the checkpoint? How did they get in?"

"Damn it, Cao Cao has also started attacking the city!"

"Hurry up! Second brother, hurry up and save food and grass, bring as much as you can! I'm afraid Yangping Pass will not be able to hold it. After some brothers are broken, the rest will leave Jiameng Pass!"

But Liu Bei didn't know that Zhuge Liang had been waiting for him for a long time in Jiameng Pass!

Looking forward to Cao Ying's arrival, he has been looking forward to it for countless days.

Finally...the wait is here!

Chapter 1004 Zhuge Liang's Ingenious Plan

Fighting all night, under the surprise attack of Ying Wai He in Cao Ying, Liu Bei lost his troops and had to abandon Chengguan again and return to Jiameng Pass.

Standing on Jiameng Pass, watching the retreating enemy soldiers, Liu Bei was furious!

Regardless of fatigue, he roared crazily.

"Cao Cao! I call you your uncle, your second uncle, your third uncle, your third uncle, and your fourth uncle!"

"You're on a horse, I, Liu Bei, will avenge this revenge!"

Liu Bei had no manners. After scolding the eighteen generations of Cao Cao's ancestors, he stopped panting.

Seeing this, the corner of Sima Yi's mouth twitched, covered in blood, secretly lamenting that Liu Bei's taste is so heavy...

Sure enough, they are all bases in Xishu, so it's nothing more than sleeping together at night.

Now Liu Bei still thinks about Japanese men?And he's an old man!

Sima Yi sighed and stood up.

"My lord, my subordinates have found out the reason for this failure. Somehow, Cao Ying found a remote path and sneaked into the city gate!"

"It was precisely because of this ambush that burned our food and grass that the morale of the army was in turmoil. In the end... alas!"

After listening to the report, Liu Bei was very angry.

"Small road? Yangping Pass, known as the first gateway to Western Shu, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, was broken because of a small road? What a joke!"

"Come here! All the roads around Jiameng Pass that can be entered, or that are suspected to be accessible, are sealed up by me!"

"Without other routes, let me see how you, Cao Cao, conquer Jiameng Pass, which is stronger than Yangping Pass!"

The generals were exhausted and hurriedly led people to block all the routes to avoid being attacked by the enemy again.

Back at Chengguan's residence, Liu Bei looked at Sima Yi and became angry.

"Zhongda! Didn't you say that Wei Yan's scheme is a top-notch conspiracy? Why haven't I heard a little noise? It's been a long time since I went out, right?"

Sima Yi smiled mischievously, his eyes dodged.

"Ah...maybe... I was delayed on the road? After all, the road in Ziwu Valley is not easy to walk, and the dark forest is overgrown with weeds."

"My lord, you also know that to insert into such a narrow path, you need to squeeze hard! Especially the first one to open the way, otherwise... you won't be able to pass smoothly!"

"But don't worry, after the people in front get in, it will be much easier for the people behind to enter the trail. I believe it won't be long before there will be good news from there! Trust me, my lord, trust me!"

Liu Bei took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

Now Wei Yan is his last resort to turn defeat into victory, as long as he succeeds, he can immediately reverse the defeat.

As long as Cao Cao returns to aid Chang'an, he can take advantage of the situation and fight back!
