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

Don't be so humiliating.

"There's no need to be angry, General."

"Zhang Fei has a fiery temper. Rumor has it that he loves to whip his soldiers."

"General, all you need to do is hold the city. Zhang Fei will be furious if he can't capture it and runs out of food and fodder. He'll then whip his soldiers, causing a change in morale and the enemy army to collapse."

Ding Xun smiled and pulled Yan Yan to his side, offering some advice.

"Well... I'll follow your advice, sir."

Yan Yan calmed down and nodded.

outside the city

Zhang Fei cursed for a long time, but Yan Yan did not come out of the city to fight.

It is obvious that the other party intends to defend the city to the death and never go out.

It is obviously unrealistic to want a quick resolution in this situation.

Even though the walls of Dianjiang City were low, it was difficult to break through easily without siege equipment.

"How about a trick?"

"They say the best strategy is to attack the enemy's plans. Why can't I, Zhang Fei, have a plan?"

"I don't believe you won't come out!"

Zhang Fei's eyes lit up and he suddenly thought of a good idea.

That night

Zhang Fei led his soldiers, holding their mouths shut and removing the bells from their horses, and marched quietly.

Having said that, it was impossible for Yan Yan, who was guarding the city, not to notice that so many people were marching to bypass Dianjiang.

"Zhang Fei intends to bypass Dianjiang and cut off our army's retreat."

"But he came here hastily and with little supplies. If I cut off his retreat, wouldn't his entire army be wiped out?"

"What good is bravery to a foolish man?"

Yan Yan thought about it and immediately decided to go out of the city to cut off Zhang Fei's retreat and give him a taste of his own medicine.

More than 5,000 elite soldiers followed Yan Yan out of the city and pursued Zhang Fei's rear army directly.

However, what Yan Yan did not expect was that Zhang Fei was actually waiting in formation on the road ahead.

"Yan Yan, you fell into my trap!"

"kill!"

When Zhang Fei saw that Yan Yan was indeed chasing him, he immediately spurred his horse to kill Yan Yan.

"Damn it, this reckless man actually has a plan?"

"Soldiers, follow me and kill!"

Yan Yan watched the enemy army coming at him. At this time, the two sides were not far apart, and he could not lead his troops to retreat at all. So he could only grit his teeth and meet Zhang Fei's army.

The two sides fought fiercely by the West Han River, and Zhang Fei attacked Yan Yan with his spear.

"Old man, do you surrender or not?"

Zhang Fei attacked repeatedly with his spear, his moves extremely ferocious.

Yan Yan drew his sword and mounted his horse, his eyes wide with anger as he shouted, "I will never surrender!"

After saying that, he brandished his sword and fought with Zhang Fei.

For a moment, the sound of swords and killing shook the sky.

The two fought for more than ten rounds, but it was difficult to determine the winner.

Although Yan Yan was old, his martial arts skills had not diminished at all. His swordsmanship was fierce and his every move was aimed at Zhang Fei's vital points.

Zhang Fei became more and more courageous as the battle went on. His spear skills were sharp and his attacks were like a tide.

"kill!"

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, chaos suddenly broke out in Yan Yan's rear.

It turned out that the ambush troops arranged by Zhang Fei in advance attacked and cut off the retreat route of Yan Yan's army.

Seeing this, Yan Yan thought to himself that something was wrong and was distracted for a moment.

Zhang Fei seized the opportunity, shouted loudly, and thrust his spear straight into Yan Yan's chest.

Yan Yan hurriedly dodged to the side, but Zhang Fei swept his arm and the sword fell to the ground.

Then, Zhang Fei hit Yan Yan's chest with his spear, knocking him off his horse.

Just when Liu Bei provoked war in Yizhou again, Xu Rong, Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu and Cai Mao of Jingzhou also received the imperial edict.

Jingzhou had sufficient money and food, and its soldiers were elite. Although the navy trained by Cai Mao had average combat effectiveness, it would not be a big problem to ensure that the army could enter Yizhou.

"General Cai..."

"Please call me uncle."

Xu Rong was standing at the bow of the boat and was about to say something when he heard Cai Mao speak in a serious tone.

"..."

"Uncle Cai."

Xu Rong called out somewhat helplessly.

Cai Ying was Concubine Hui, one of the four concubines. Since the position of queen was vacant and could only be conferred posthumously, her sister had a good chance of competing for the position.

Even if Dong Lin cannot become the crown prince, if he can win the custody of Dong Ying, Cai Ying may become the queen or empress dowager in the future.

"Hey, that's right."

"What's the matter, General Xu?"

Cai Mao grinned and asked.

"This time, the food and fodder carried on our warships is enough to sustain the army for half a month."

"Therefore, I have decided to lead 50,000 infantry to attack Jiangzhou, while General Cai... my uncle will counterattack Yufu to ensure the smooth flow of grain."
