System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

"General Cui, how is Bai Ma?"

Zhang He frowned and asked loudly.

"The enemy...the enemy has taken over White Horse."

"There are too many enemies. I can't defend."

Cui Zhu was exhausted and panting as he tried to explain.

"It's... finished."

"Come on, come back to Yanjin with me. We can't defend that place anymore."

Zhang He was about to curse him as a waste, but he stopped himself before the words came to his lips.

In addition to being a general, Cui Zhu also had another profession, that of an astrologer.

That’s right, it’s the kind of job where you observe the celestial phenomena at night and predict whether there will be disasters the next day.

Yuan Shao has a little hobby, which is to like mysterious things.

Cui Juye relied on this skill to be highly valued under Yuan Shao.

Zhang He also knew that Cui Juye had no ability, so he sent him to the safer Baima Ferry.

What he didn't expect was that Dong Yu pretended to cross Yanjin this time, but his real destination was Baima Ferry.

He really wanted to say something to Cui Juye now.

If you're an astrologer, just do your job honestly and don't try to cheat him.

It was already difficult for him in Yuan Shao's camp, and now he had to bear the guilt of losing Bai Ma and Yanjin.

the other side

Dong Yu, who had successfully crossed the river, was now covering the subsequent troops and baggage trains as they landed one after another.

"It seems that this plan has succeeded."

Dong Yu looked towards Yanjin with a complicated expression.

"My lord, those who achieve great things do not dwell on trivial matters."

"It is better to kill or injure hundreds of civilians than to kill or injure well-trained soldiers."

"Think about it from another angle."

"When soldiers die, don't we need civilians to replace them?"

Xun You glanced at Dong Yu and knew that the other party was reluctant.

After all, he is just a boy in his early twenties. How cruel can he be?

Looking through history books, the road to hegemony was all built with human bones.

To be an emperor, one has to step on mountains of corpses and seas of blood before he can ascend the dragon throne that symbolizes supreme power.

The significance of Liyang is to facilitate the guarding of the Yellow River ferry.

After Dong's army successfully crossed the river, it was naturally impossible for Zhang He and Gao Lan to defend here with only 5,000 people.

Otherwise, with Dong’s army approaching, the small city of Liyang would not be able to hold out at all.

So, Zhang He hurried back to Liyang and immediately ordered the entire army to burn all the weapons and withdraw with only a small amount of supplies to avoid being pursued by Dong's army.

"My lord, I'm afraid it will be difficult to capture Yecheng with only our manpower."

"And if Zhang He's troops retreat to Yecheng, our chances of victory will be even lower."

Xun You looked at the soldiers who were crossing the river one after another and reminded Dong Yu.

"Then don't let him go back."

"Zilong should still be drawing circles around Dangyin."

"Huang Hansheng!"

Dong Yu nodded slightly, without showing much anxiety.

Because there was still a distance of more than a hundred miles between Liyang and Yecheng.

And Zhao Yun was drawing circles around Dangyin.

If not now, when?

"The general is here!"

Huang Zhong's face lit up with joy, and he immediately strode over and clasped his fists.

"Lead fifty cavalrymen and rush to Dangyin to find Zilong. You must hurry."

"We must stop Zhang He on his retreating route and capture him if possible. If not, kill him!"

Although Dong Yu envied Zhang He, a talented general, he was still clear-headed when it came to military and national affairs.

"The last general takes command!"

Huang Zhong bowed.

"I'll give you this horse. The journey is long, and there will be many battles ahead. A good horse as a mount will surely give you more power."

Dong Yu glanced at the red charcoal fire dragon horse standing beside him and spoke.

"My lord, you can't do that!"

"Huang Zhong is just a common man, so he should die!"

"My lord, if you don't have a BMW, how will you save your life if you encounter danger?"

"Huang Zhong, I wouldn't dare accept it!"

Huang Zhong was touched but also shocked, and quickly declined.

BMW is the second life of a general.

Sometimes when the situation is unfavorable, people with good war horses have a greater chance of survival.

"In this vast world, who can take my life?"

"I told you to keep it, so I did. Are you trying to disobey me?"

Dong Yu's face darkened and he shouted.
