Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

Chapter 74: The Fire in Changsha

Zhang Jue's army's food and fodder had been largely burned, forcing him to disband his troops and disperse them to various locations to restock their supplies. Meanwhile, Suo Chao's cavalry swept towards Chenzhuang like a whirlwind.

"Brother Boyi, wait for me!"

"I want to wipe out the Yellow Turbans too!"

I saw a young general in a white robe galloping over on horseback.

"Brother Zilong! Let's go together."

There was a group of Yellow Turban soldiers in Chenzhuang, about 300 strong, searching for food and fodder. They had been starving for days, so they planned to plunder Chenzhuang.

"Brothers! Keep collecting food!"

"Okay! Centurion."

The three hundred Yellow Turban soldiers were like locusts swarming through the countryside, looting every household and taking any food or valuables they could find. However, most of the food had been hidden by the villagers.

"Centurion, these villagers hid the food and supplies very well. We have been looking for it for a long time but couldn't find it." The soldier reported to the centurion helplessly.

"Then you won't interrogate them?" the centurion roared angrily.

"But General, these villagers are very stubborn. No matter how we ask, they refuse to say anything," said the soldier aggrievedly.

"What a bunch of useless trash!" the centurion was furious.

"Beat them hard until they start talking!"

"Centurion, I found two beautiful girls in the village."

"Really? Take those two pretty girls away. I want to give them to Commander Qu."

Suo Chao and Zhao Zilong exchanged glances, anger flashing in both of their eyes. These Yellow Turbans not only robbed the people of their food and fodder, but also bullied women. They were truly insane.

"Shameless!" Zhao Zilong roared and spurred his horse to charge towards the Yellow Turban Army.

The spear in his hand was like a dragon emerging from the sea, instantly stabbing down several Yellow Turban soldiers.

Suo Chao, unwilling to be outdone, charged into the enemy ranks, sword in hand. Like tigers among a flock of sheep, they crushed the Yellow Turbans, forcing them to retreat.

"Surrender quickly!" Zhao Zilong shouted loudly.

Seeing the situation was not good, some Yellow Turban soldiers laid down their weapons and surrendered, but the centurion refused to surrender and waved his sword in an attempt to resist.

Zhao Zilong dodged the centurion's attack with ease, then pierced his chest with a spear. The centurion screamed and fell to the ground, dead.

The battle was over quickly, with the Yellow Turbans either killed or surrendering. Suo Chao and Zhao Zilong rescued the two captured women and distributed the captured food and fodder to the villagers.

"Fellow villagers! The Yellow Turban rebels have been wiped out by us. You can rest assured!"

"Thank you, Generals!"

"Brother Zilong, I'm so grateful for your help this time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

"Thank you for the compliment, Brother Boyi. This is all part of my job."

"Brother Zilong, I wonder what your plans are for the future?"

"I want to go back to Changshan County first to protect my brother and sister-in-law."

"Brother Zilong, you are a skilled warrior. With the alien races rampant in the north, would you be willing to join our Northern Suppression Army?"

"Thank you for your kindness, my dear brother Boyi. I still need to discuss this matter with my elder brother."

"Mo Nan County is developing rapidly. We can bring Brother Zhao Feng there with us."

"Okay then. I'll follow Brother Boyi first. Once I'm settled, I'll bring my elder brother and his wife to Mo Nan County."

"Haha, with Zilong's help, I'm even more powerful!"

Suo Chao entrusted 20,000 dashing cavalrymen to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun prepared his troops diligently, keeping his weapons on the alert. While training his soldiers, he also worked alongside General Lu Zhi, making the already impregnable defense even more impregnable.

Suo Chao, on the other hand, was free to lead his troops. He raced against time, devoting himself to the "medical world" of Area B, doing his utmost to treat every wounded soldier. After the wounded had received proper care, he bid farewell to General Lu Zhi and instructed Zhao Yun to lead his troops back north as soon as General Lu Zhi's defenses were consolidated.

"General Lu, General Huangfu is under siege in Changsha. I need to go there."

"Okay, General Zhenbei."

"Zilong, the rest of the military affairs will be handed over to you!"

"Okay! Brother Boyi."

Early May 184 AD.

Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song were eagerly awaiting the imperial reinforcements, but they were nowhere to be seen. Huangfu Song suddenly had an idea:

"Generals! I recently inspected the Bocai camp and found that the area around it was overgrown with dense weeds."

"I predict there will be a strong wind tonight, and it will blow right towards Bo Cai's camp."

"The opportunity to defeat the enemy is tonight!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Jian nodded frequently and spoke excitedly.

"Old General, this is a brilliant plan! Wen Tai is willing to lead the charge in tonight's night attack!"

"Haha! Then there's the Lawn Terrace!"

At this moment, Suo Chao also rushed to Changsha at full speed and met with the generals in the military tent.

Suo Chao saluted everyone with his fists clasped.

"I have come here uninvited, and I hope you generals will not be offended."

Huangfu Song smiled and waved his hand.

"Bo Yi has arrived at the perfect time. Please take a seat."

"Old General, long time no see."

Beside Huangfu Song stood a majestic general. Clad in imposing armor, he stood tall and sturdy, seemingly imbued with boundless strength. Beneath thick brows, his eyes pierced with a resolute determination, inspiring awe wherever his gaze passed. His bronzed face bore the marks of battle, his stubble hinting at his authority. His helmet, adorned with a heroic presence, accentuated his presence. Standing in the military camp, he resembled a steady mountain, exuding the dignity and composure of a battle-hardened veteran.

"Haha, Boyi! This is General Zhu Jun."

"Suo Boyi pays homage to the Right General of the Central Army."

Zhu Jun smiled slightly and stared at Suo Chaodao.

"General Zhenbei is truly a young and promising man! I, Zhu, admire you immensely."

"General, you are too kind. I have not done enough and I still need to learn a lot from you generals."

When Suo Chao saw Sun Jian next to Zhu Jun, he hurried to pay his respects to his adoptive father, and then sat down next to Huangfu Song.

After Suo Chao took his seat, Huangfu Song explained the night attack plan in detail. After listening, Suo Chao secretly admired Huangfu Song's wisdom.

"Old General, we will raid tonight. Boyi is willing to go with my adoptive father."

"Haha, with Boyi here, my chances of winning are a little better."

As night fell and a strong wind blew, Sun Jian led an army and quietly approached Bo Cai's camp, preparing to launch a fire attack, while Huangfu Song led the main force in the rear to support him.

Suo Chao led a surprise attack, circling the enemy's flank and waiting for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack. Sun Jian led his troops into the enemy camp, catching Bo Cai's army off guard. As the two armies engaged in fierce fighting, Suo Chao's surprise attack, like a tiger descending from a mountain, stormed from the flank and struck directly at Bo Cai's center.

At the same time, Huangfu Song used the yellow-level martial arts: fire attack.

"Fire attack!"

The weeds around the Bocai military camp spread rapidly like wildfire.

The wind fanned the flames, and the fire quickly spread throughout the entire camp. The Yellow Turban Army was thrown into chaos and fled in all directions.

Huangfu Song saw this and immediately ordered the entire army to attack. Suo Chao brandished his spear and fought bravely, killing the enemy wherever he went.

"Kill!"

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Bo Cai fled in panic with his remaining troops. Sun Jian and Suo Chao pursued him, and Cao Cao's reinforcements also arrived in time.

"General Huangfu, General Zhu, I am too late."

"Meng De! Your reinforcements arrive just in time."

"Soldiers, let's attack together and completely annihilate the Bocai Army."

Huangfu Song, realizing the opportunity was right, ordered his entire army to attack. The Han army, high in morale, defeated the 200,000-strong Yellow Turban army in one fell swoop. The soldiers celebrated this hard-earned victory with laughter and joy.

The battle was a resounding success, with the Han army slaughtering tens of thousands of enemy troops. Suo Chao also seized the opportunity to round up hundreds of thousands of seriously wounded soldiers and prisoners. Suo Chao did not return the critically wounded and dying Han and Yellow Turban soldiers to General Huangfu. The old general had a penchant for killing prisoners, and he didn't want these innocent Yellow Turban soldiers to die.

Under Suo Chao's astonishing and unparalleled skills, the captured Yellow Turban soldiers and the seriously injured, transported to the medical world, vanished inexplicably as if under a spell. To those around them, these vanished enemy and Han troops seemed reduced to ashes, their remains vanishing. Beyond their amazement at Suo Chao's powerful sword skills, no one knew they were still alive.
