Strange Rules: It doesn't matter, the system will take care of it.

The next day.

Chen Feng received a notice instructing him to go to the main hall of the governor's mansion in Ye City.

On the way, Chen Feng asked Wang An, the captain of his personal guards, who was the guy who wanted to catch rabbits to improve their meals, what exactly was going on.

"Eh~ General, you didn't know that?"

The captain of the personal guards told Chen Feng.

Some time ago, Liu Bei killed Che Zhou, a trusted general of Cao Cao. Fearing Cao Cao's revenge, he sent his strategist Sun Qian to have Zheng Xuan, a great Confucian scholar who had a good relationship with Yuan Shao, write a letter to Yuan Shao requesting his help.

"I think our lord is probably unsure of what to do right now and is planning to consult with the generals."

Chen Feng scratched his head, thinking to himself, "This is a secret, how did a lowly soldier like you know about it?"

Surely there wasn't a global announcement?

It really does.

With the introduction of the captain of the personal guards, Chen Feng discovered that a public channel actually existed in this world.

"I travel in a light boat to visit the world, where people are like carp on the river, chasing after fame and fortune."

Xu Shao, courtesy name Zijiang, was a critic in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Historically, he founded the Monthly Commentary, where he would find someone to critique his work each month, which became the focus of public opinion.

The famous assessment of Boss Cao, "A capable minister in times of peace, a treacherous hero in times of chaos," came from Xu Shao.

In the world of mythology.

All you need to do is say the code phrase: "Let's critique the world and discuss its affairs!"

You can then view all the major events that happened that month through Mr. Xu Shao's ability assessment.

Chen Feng scrolled through the public chat, which contained announcements from some time ago about Yuan Shu being defeated by Liu Bei and Zhang Fei killing the general Ji Ling.

The latest one is that Guan Yu killed Che Zhou.

"666, and there's also a server-wide kill report."

Chen Feng was completely convinced. Was this the world of the Concept God?

After a long journey.

Chen Feng arrived at his destination. The mansion faced south. Passing through the vermilion gate, he could see armored soldiers standing in the courtyard with halberds in hand and banners fluttering in the wind.

This should be the place.

Looking at a building with a plaque that read "Council Hall" hanging under its eaves, Chen Feng walked inside.

A man dressed in a brocade robe sat on a three-foot-high wooden couch. Behind the couch was a screen, and on each side was a bronze goose-foot lamp. This must be our lord, Yuan Shao.

On the left and right, mats were laid out, and civil and military officials of various ranks knelt down, each with a low table in front of them.

Although it was daytime, the main hall was so large that the light was somewhat dim.

Furthermore, Chen Feng was only dressed as a human, his identity assigned by the avatar system, and he had no memories, so he didn't recognize anyone: "Who the hell are these people? Where should I sit?"

At this moment, one of the guys winked at him and said in a hurried tone, "General Chen, why aren't you coming over here right now?"

Chen Feng quickly moved closer.

At this moment, the intelligence system finally came into play: "Chen Feng, this person is Shen Pei, courtesy name Zheng Nan, an advisor under Yuan Shao, from Yin'an, Wei Commandery. He is now your fellow townsman in this world."

Where is Yin'an in Wei Commandery?

"Henan".

Chen Feng suddenly realized: "No wonder Yuan Shao's territory is in Hebei, but my men all speak Henan dialect. It turns out I'm from Xu You's faction."

Don't tell.

Although this universe has public chat, fighting spirit, and skills, it's like a joke.

But in some aspects, it is more rigorous than the new Three Kingdoms.

At this time.

Yuan Shao put down Zheng Xuan's letter and said, "Xuan De attacked and destroyed my brother. I shouldn't have helped him, but I have no choice but to go to his rescue because of Minister Zheng's order."

And this is translated by the daily intelligence system.

What Chen Feng heard was plain language: "Liu Bei just killed my brother Yuan Shu and now he wants my help. I was going to say, 'Help me? I don't even want to help.' But for the sake of Minister Zheng Xuan, I'll give him a hand. What do you all think?"

No, is there even a need to look at this?

Chen Feng thought to himself, "Isn't the principle of befriending distant states and attacking nearby ones something even a three-year-old child understands?"

Now that Liu Bei has been rescued, when they clash with Cao Cao at Guandu, Liu Bei can launch a surprise attack on Xuchang, putting Cao Cao in a precarious position and leaving him caught in the middle.

If we don't save them, once Liu Bei is gone and Guan Yu surrenders, Yuan Shao's two top generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, will be nothing but future dead men.

As a master of the Three Kingdoms Kill game.

Chen Feng had long known that there were three key points to help Yuan Shao win the Battle of Guandu.

In the early stages, prevent Yan Liang and Wen Chou from dying.

In the mid-game, with sufficient food supplies, the key is to stall Cao Cao rather than send him to his death.

Later, they prevented Wuchao's granary from being burned.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng was about to speak when he was interrupted sternly by a white-bearded old man: "My lord, you mustn't!"

Yuan Shao asked curiously, "Does Yuan Hao have something to say?"

Yuan Hao? That must be Tian Feng, Yuan Shao's strategist? And also Yuan Shao's most intelligent strategist.

Chen Feng raised his head and heard Tian Feng say, "War has raged for years, the people are exhausted, and the granaries are empty. It is impossible to revive the army."

In gaming terms, they have just finished fighting Gongsun Zan and now possess four territories and four expansion mines. Their development is faster than Cao Cao's, so there is no need to take action immediately. It is not too late to make a move after three years of recuperation and when their troops are well-trained and their supplies are plentiful.

Chen Feng pondered for a moment.

There's nothing wrong with what you said.

Yuan Shao hesitated and said, "No, sending troops is definitely not the right thing to do."

But at this moment, Chen Feng's fellow villager, Shen Pei, spoke up: "To defeat the traitor Cao is as easy as turning one's hand; why delay for so long?"

Shen Pei's meaning is very simple: Yuan Shao is developing, and Cao Cao is also developing. We have such a big advantage, so we can just push the high ground and take them out in one wave.

Yuan Shao immediately agreed, saying, "That's right, that's right."

But then another advisor stepped forward to object, saying, "Things must be planned slowly; haste makes waste."

This time, we won't use the intelligence system for introductions.

Chen Fengguang recognized the line as belonging to Lord Ju Shou.

Moreover, Chen Feng discovered something else:

"The power system of this universe is battle qi."

"Although everyone present is surrounded by battle aura, in terms of purity and quantity, only Yuan Shao, Ju Shou, and an unknown general are the strongest."

Seeing that even the most capable civil official was against sending troops, Yuan Shao hesitated again: "Sending troops... is that right?"

But Tian Feng had friends, and Shen Pei also had friends.

Seeing that his good friend's opinion was rejected by Ju Shou, the strategists Guo Tu and Feng Ji stepped forward and said, "No, Cao Cao's forces are weakening. We urge our lord to attack him quickly!"

For a time, everyone was discussing it and couldn't come to a conclusion.

This gave Yuan Shao, who suffered from decision-making difficulties, a headache: "Yes, yes, oh no, no."

Just then, the last two strategists in Yuan Shao's lineup, Xu You and Xun Chen, entered.

Yuan Shao hurriedly asked them what they thought.

After a moment's thought, Xu You said, "With a well-thought-out strategy in mind, a good plan should be devised quickly. Your Excellency will surely prevail by using your superior numbers to overcome the inferior and your strength to attack the weak!"

Five to two.

Yuan Shao laughed loudly, "Raising troops to help Liu Bei is exactly what I've been wanting!"

As for the grudge that Liu Bei killed his younger brother Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shao said, "Very well, just pretend I never had this younger brother."

You're quite generous.

Chen Feng knew that Yuan Shao's advantage was too great. It was like a multiple-choice question where all the options were correct. If he listened to Xu You, he could win sooner; if he listened to Tian Feng, he could win later; if he listened to Ju Shou, he would win sooner or later; and if he listened to Guo Tu and Shen Pei, he would win even if he suffered some losses.

In short, it was like Qin Shi Huang touching an electric gate—he won big.

With a wave of Yuan Shao's hand.

The seven strategists, along with generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou, led 150,000 cavalry and 150,000 infantry, preparing for battle.

Holy crap, Yuan Shao has 300,000 men?

Chen Feng clicked his tongue slightly. He knew that cavalry was extremely valuable in ancient times, and the ratio of cavalry to infantry could never have been one to one.

"It seems that this world is more like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and deviates from history."

Thinking of this.

Chen Feng then mocked himself, "I'm really crazy. This world already has a public chat system and battle qi, what's the point of historical accuracy?!"

After the meeting adjourned.

Ju Shou was very dissatisfied with Yuan Shao's refusal to heed his advice, so he approached Xu You, who opposed him, and said, "I said to proceed step by step, are you deaf?"

Xu You wasn't intimidated at all and retorted, "Hmph, within sight, just a short distance."

This is a blatant attack on Jushun's short-sightedness.

In the end, the two parted on bad terms and left in anger.

Chen Feng sighed, "The fight hasn't even started yet, and the teammates are already fighting amongst themselves. How are we supposed to win?"

At this time.

Chen Lin's cursing voice rang out again from the sky: "Holding military power, he destroys the land; Cao Cao's usurpation of the Han dynasty is obvious; those who defy the people's will must be punished; his horse tramples Xuchang to quell the chaos."

[The Interdimensional Travel System has sent a notification: You have been affected by the Ci Poem skill and can no longer gain cultivation.]

Although he couldn't gain cultivation, Chen Feng still nodded and said, "It's good to be scolded!"

This remark was overheard by a burly man nearby, who asked in a deep voice with curiosity, "Brother, you even understand literature?"

Chen Feng smiled and said, "I am a military officer and I am illiterate."

The burly man frowned: "Since you can't read, how can you be sure you can insult me?"

Chen Feng said only one sentence: "Put the first four characters of those four sentences together."

The burly man pondered for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Damn... I see! Brother, you are truly an extraordinary man. May I ask your name?"

"Chen Feng, courtesy name Buyin."

"Yan Liang, the vanguard general, came from a humble background and had no courtesy name."

After exchanging words, Chen Feng realized that the burly man in front of him was Yan Liang, one of Yuan Shao's top four generals.

Why not take this opportunity to spar with Yan Liang and test your street-level physique to see how it compares to others in this Three Kingdoms universe?

With that in mind, Chen Feng extended an invitation to spar.

Upon hearing that someone was willing to spar with him, Yan Liang was overjoyed: "Excellent! I'm already tired of sparring with Brother Wen Chou in the camp!"

The two sides found a training ground.

Yan Liang took out a broadsword, held it horizontally at one end, and said politely, "General Chen, please."

"Okay, I won't stand on ceremony."

Since his trip to Cihang City, Chen Feng had completely lost all sense of propriety and shame, so his attack was swift and decisive.

The Gentle Breeze Demon-Subduing Sword!

Chen Feng made his move without calling out his name or making any initial gesture.

So before Yan Liang could figure out what was going on, he was ambushed by the invisible sword lying in ambush above his head and knocked unconscious on the spot.

Seeing such a naive opponent, Chen Feng burst into tears: "Is this what it feels like to be in the mortal world? It's wonderful."

Because they were inside the city.

Chen Feng certainly wouldn't summon a meteorite, so he walked up to Yan Liang, who was covered in blood, and kicked him off the stage: "Thank you for the concession!"

I have a pretty good understanding of the world's level now.

Chen Feng made a rough estimate: "The top four experts of a regional lord can't even beat me, who is at the level of a weak street warrior. It seems that the stats in this world are indeed average. However, the fact that they weren't killed by the Qingfeng Demon-Subduing Sword proves that their physical defense is also at the level of a weak street warrior, which is not bad."

After his defeat, Yan Liang expressed his dissatisfaction and demanded a rematch.

Chen Feng asked worriedly, "You're injured, can you manage?"

"It's alright!"

With a wave of his hand, Yan Liang had a fruit platter brought over. He then took out a few peaches and popped them into his mouth. His wounds instantly healed, and his scattered fighting spirit was restored.

interesting.

Chen Feng picked up a peach and heard the system say:

[Peach, a recovery item from the Mythical Three Kingdoms universe, can be taken out of the world and restores 10% of health upon consumption.]

Only 10%?

There's absolutely no need to take it out.

Chen Feng disdainfully put down the peach and was about to push it away when he heard the system add: [It can help the dying escape from near death. Even if the dying person is killed and only has a mouth left, as long as they can eat the peach, they can come back to life. This judgment has a multi-level priority judgment.]

I rely on?

Don't take it!

Chen Feng quickly brought the fruit platter back, thinking to himself, "Multi-level priority judgment? No wonder Dong Zhuo's wine could intoxicate Cihang and the gods within the War General; the mechanics of this world are truly too advanced!"

Is this what it means to fill in the numbers with care but not with your feet?

Chen Feng put the peach into the system space.

You have received 10 peaches.

If you successfully evacuate, you will be able to reach Cihang City, Space 42.

Chen Feng had already studied it yesterday.

Retreat is simple; only two conditions need to be met.

First, retreat is only allowed within one's own territory. For example, if Chen Feng is currently in Yuan Shao's camp, he can flee in the four provinces of Ji, Qing, You, and Bing, but not on the battlefield.

Secondly, there must be no enemies nearby during the evacuation.

"If we leave now, we can take away two levels of cultivation and a bag full of life-saving items. The Mythical Three Kingdoms world is indeed lucrative."

Chen Feng was very happy.

On the other side, Yan Liang had already brandished his cleaver and launched an attack: "Take this! First-tier combat skill! Crescent Slash!"

With that, a golden crescent-shaped aura of battle qi shot towards Chen Feng.

Chen Feng wanted to test the strength of this world, so he tried to withstand the attack with his bare body, only to find that his clothes were slightly dirty.

"generally."

Seeing that Chen Feng didn't react, Yan Liang knew he had no choice but to use his true strength. So he went all out, surrounding himself with his battle aura and displaying flames all over his body, saying, "Eighth-tier battle skill! Divine Flames Rage!"

Flame Battle Aura?

Chen Feng touched the flame with his finger and felt a sharp pain: "This thing can break through my defenses!"

This isn't going to be fun.

If you can break through Chen Feng's defenses, you can kill him.

Just then, Yan Liang produced something new: "A general must never lose his courage!"

After a strange shout, a burst of silvery-white light exploded on Yan Liang's body.

Chen Feng, who was familiar with the Mythical Three Kingdoms system, knew that this meant the conceptual skill was about to be unlocked.

then!

With a snap.

Chen Feng was slashed off the stage by Yan Liang.

The Mythical Three Kingdoms system also provides the skill name: [Rapid Strike: Yan Liang's next attack deals triple damage; if the attack misses, Yan Liang will suffer full damage back.]

Great!

Chen Feng dusted himself off, inwardly shocked: "One to one, I'm actually evenly matched with Yan Liang? Then Guan Yu, who can kill Yan Liang in an instant, would probably beat me to a pulp!"

Compared to Chen Feng's agitation, Yan Liang was overjoyed: "I never expected you to be so brave, brother! If I had known you were this good, we should have met long ago. Come, join me for drinks and meat!"

The following days.

Because Ju Shou and others were dissatisfied with Xu You, Yuan Shao's army was slow to move, so Chen Feng had no choice but to keep sparring with Yan Liang.

"General Chen, let's fight!"

"Come."

"General Chen, let's fight!"

"Come."

"beat."

"Come."

"......"

Yan Liang glanced at Chen Feng but didn't say anything.

Chen Feng went out immediately.

[Ding! Yan Liang's friendship level has been raised to friend]

[If Yan Liang survives this battle, you can take him out of Cihang City. If you do so, Yan Liang will be deleted from all timelines in this world.]

As the two sparred, Chen Feng gained a deeper understanding of the power of this world.

There are two forces in this world.

Battle Qi Techniques: Abilities that even ordinary soldiers can learn. The higher a person's martial arts aptitude, the more advanced their Battle Qi Techniques will be, with the highest being the tenth rank.

When Chen Feng first heard about the first and eighth ranks, he thought that this place was like Cihang, where there were a hundred ranks of fighting skills. But when he asked, he found out that it wasn't. Sure enough, compared to Cihang, other places were really too sunny.

Another one is the ultimate skill, which is the blessing that Chen Feng exchanged. It is only for famous generals, and all of them are concept-level skills. The weakest of them has a star-level judgment, and the high ones can even reach the multi-level.

In addition, this world also has the setting of Qi resonance.

That is, the more troops a military or civil official leads, the more their fighting spirit will resonate with their subordinates, increasing their power.

"So, if that's the case, then the Demon Lord Dong Zhuo unified the world and controlled all the country's troops. Fighting him would be tantamount to making an enemy of the world?"

Just thinking about it gave Chen Feng a headache.

At that moment, a message suddenly flashed in Xu Shao's world chat: [Zhang Xiu has surrendered to Cao Cao, and generals such as Jia Xu have joined Cao Cao's camp.]

what?

Chen Feng sensed something was wrong: "Zhang Xiu has Jia Xu under his command. Am I going to have to fight Jia Xu?"

The thought of fighting that cunning old fox...

Chen Feng immediately panicked.

No, we have to get to battle right away! We can't delay any longer!

So Chen Feng approached Yuan Shao through Yan Liang. Coincidentally, Sun Qian, Liu Bei's general, and Tian Feng, Yuan Shao's most intelligent strategist, were also there, and they had come to ask Yuan Shao to send troops.

Sun Qian said, "My lord (Yuan Shao), if you don't send troops soon, my master won't be able to hold out!"

But when faced with his allies' pleas for help, Yuan Shao looked ashen-faced.

Only after asking did I learn that Yuan Shao had five children, and his most beloved youngest son had recently died of scabies. Therefore, he was in a state of utter distress: "My five sons are failing; I have no will to fight now!"

Tian Feng then advised, "This is an opportunity not to be missed. My lord, please accept this misfortune and move on!"

"What's there to mourn? You've never lost a son," Yuan Shao retorted angrily to Tian Feng. "You old scoundrel! You were the one who told me not to send troops before, and now you're the one telling me to send troops. Are you playing me for a fool?"

Tian Feng explained, "Today is different from the past. Cao Cao is now attacking Liu Bei with all his might, leaving his rear vulnerable. This is the perfect opportunity for a surprise attack. My lord, you must not hesitate!"

"Left and right, get them out of here!"

"Honest advice is hard to hear!"

Tian Feng was dragged away.

Chen Feng was dumbfounded.

Even a strategist of such high rank couldn't persuade him, so it was even less likely that a mere general like him would succeed.

He could have won by attacking quickly or slowly, but Yuan Shao chose to attack quickly first and then stop.

Of the four correct options (A, B, C, D), I chose E. Isn't that a disaster?

Sure enough, shortly after the request for help was rejected, a notification appeared on the public chat:

Cao Cao defeated Liu Bei, and Guan Yu has temporarily defected to Cao Cao's camp.

Oh no, oh no!

Chen Feng looked at Yan Liang, who was sparring with him, as if he were looking at a dead man, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"Yuan Shen, you're such a rip-off!"
