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

As mentioned last time.

In Xuchang, Cao Cao suddenly had a splitting headache and wished he could chop off his skull with a sharp axe.

His subordinates suggested that they invite the renowned physician Ji Ping to treat him.

Yoshihira?

Cao Cao was startled, suddenly remembering what Liu Dai and Wang Zhong had said to him when they returned.

"Liu Xuande said he did not want to rebel against the Prime Minister."

"He instructed the two of us to extend our greetings to the Emperor's brother-in-law Dong Cheng, General Wang Zifu, and Wenruo (Xun Yu)."

"It is also said that if the Prime Minister suffers from headaches, he can ask the famous physician Ji Ping to treat him."

After hearing this, Cao Cao became suspicious, because he had never heard of Liu Bei having any relationship with the emperor's brother-in-law, General Wang Zifu, or Xun Yu.

After careful consideration.

Cao Cao laughed heartily.

Guo Jia, who was standing nearby, hurriedly asked, "Why is the Prime Minister laughing so loudly?"

Cao Cao countered, "Fengxiao, do you know how Emperor Gaozu dealt with Fan Zeng back then?"

Guo Jia recalled: "Fan Zeng was Xiang Yu's chief strategist, resourceful and wise, and was revered by Xiang Yu as 'Uncle.' In order to get rid of Fan Zeng, Chen Ping bribed the generals of the Chu army with 40,000 gold coins to spread rumors about Fan Zeng, and eventually drove Fan Zeng away."

Cao Cao nodded and said, "I don't laugh at anyone else, but I laugh at Liu Bei's lack of strategy. He actually tried to imitate Chen Ping and sow discord between me and Wenruo. How could I fall for such a clumsy trick?"

He saw through the scheme at a glance.

Cao Cao was quite intelligent, but he was unlucky enough to encounter the intelligence expert Jia Xu.

this day.

A man came to Cao Cao's residence. He claimed to be a servant of Dong Cheng, the emperor's brother-in-law, and said that he had overheard Wang Zifu, Dong Cheng, and Ma Teng plotting to assassinate Cao Cao.

What evidence do you have?

"I saw Yoshihira bite his finger to swear an oath to administer poison!"

Cao Cao then feigned a headache, summoned Ji Ping to administer medicine, and then grabbed Ji Ping. Sure enough, the medicine was poisoned, and Ji Ping only had nine fingers.

This thief really wants to harm me!

Cao Cao was furious, so he led his troops to Dong Cheng's house, where they found an imperial edict hidden in his belt. Upon reading it, his face grew increasingly grim: "Fine! Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu, Liu Bei! Guards, according to the list, imprison Dong Cheng and Wang Zifu's entire family. Don't let a single one escape!"

As he spoke, Cao Cao suddenly recalled past events and exclaimed, "And Xun Yu!"

Seeing that things were going badly, Guo Jia quickly advised, "I didn't see Wenruo's name on it. Prime Minister, you mustn't fall for this trap."

Cao Cao shook his head: "Ji Ping wasn't even up there, yet they still made their move! Arrest them and Consort Dong, and behead them on a chosen day!"

While Cao Cao was wreaking havoc, Chen Feng was secretly poaching Cao Cao's men.

Ever since seeing the simulation results, Chen Feng has been worried about one thing.

Although he and Jia Xu had come up with the idea of ​​using a five-pronged attack to weaken Cao Cao's forces and reduce the protection of his generals, there was still one problem they couldn't solve.

That was the blessing and allegiance of the god Cao Cao.

If Cao Cao were to lose all shame and slap himself repeatedly, draining everyone's fighting spirit, then Liu Bei would undoubtedly be defeated.

Therefore, we must not send troops to deal with Cao Cao.

That would require protection against area-of-effect damage.

But whether it's Zhao Zilong, the second best in the world, or Guan Yu, who is famous throughout China, they both deal single-target damage.

"Where can I find someone like Yuan Shen, someone who can shoot down the entire field?"

Just as he was worrying, the wild Liu Ye appeared.

Chen Feng advised, "Liu Bei is the Imperial Uncle of the Han Dynasty, and his benevolence and righteousness are known throughout the land. Why don't you join him, sir?"

Liu Ye disagreed with Chen Feng's words: "Prime Minister Cao is a hero of our time and is eager to recruit talented people. I still want to serve under him."

Chen Feng asked, puzzled, "Your surname is Liu, aren't you a member of the Han imperial family, a descendant of the Prince of Fuling? Why would you choose to serve Cao Cao?"

Liu Ye asked in bewilderment, "Why can't I, with the surname Liu, submit to Cao Cao?"

Chen Feng said, "Cao Cao claims to be the Chancellor of Han, but he is in reality a traitor! You and Lord Xuande are both members of the Han imperial family; you should uphold the Han dynasty and carry out the emperor's secret edict to punish the traitor!"

Liu Ye didn't believe it at all: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. Prime Minister Cao is the true loyal minister of the Han Dynasty."

"He's a traitor!"

"You're the traitor!"

Seeing that Liu Ye was still stubborn, Chen Feng's gaze gradually turned cold. He thought to himself, "I am Cihang. If you agree, nothing will happen. If you don't agree, I will kill you right now."

Just as Chen Feng was about to make his move.

A notification suddenly appeared in the public chat:

Cao Cao killed Dong Cheng, the emperor's brother-in-law.

[With the breakthrough, the Crouching Dragon emerges from the mountains!]

Liu Ye was dumbfounded: "......"

Chen Feng scoffed, "Is this the loyal minister you were talking about?"

But that's not all.

Cao Cao hanged Consort Dong.

[A double kill, instant fame! A triple kill, the world is astonished!]

Liu Ye didn't understand: "Why is killing Consort Dong considered a double kill?"

Chen Feng sighed, "Don't you know? Consort Dong is already five months pregnant."

Liu Ye shouted, "That traitor Cao! How dare he kill the Emperor's child! I will never let him get away with this!"

Get it done.

Chen Feng was overjoyed: "My score is finished!"

At this time, they were in Xudu.

Cao Cao was still angry after killing Dong Cheng and others, so he summoned his advisors and asked, "Although Dong Cheng and the others have been executed, Liu Bei and Ma Teng are still alive. We must eliminate them!"

Cheng Yu asked worriedly, "What if we attack Liu Bei, and Yuan Shao launches a sneak attack from behind?"

Guo Jia told him not to be afraid, as he possessed wisdom and insight, and could discern the subtle signs and understand people's intentions: "I think Yuan Shao is a man who is good at scheming but indecisive, so we don't need to take him seriously. We should just focus on dealing with Liu Bei."

Judging from Chen Feng's previous simulation results, Guo Jia's words were absolutely correct.

Unfortunately.

He encountered the intelligence officer Jia Xu.

months ago.

In Liyang, where Yuan Shao was located, a message was circulating.

It is said that Cao Cao recently acquired a guest who could use sorcery to cause people to be covered in scabies and suffer unbearable pain.

Soon after, the news took a new turn, saying that Yuan Shao favored his five sons, and Cao Cao wanted to use sorcery to kill them, causing Yuan Shao to become uneasy and his army to collapse like a house of cards.

Hearing these rumors.

His subordinates quickly came to remind Yuan Shao.

But Yuan Shao laughed and said, "These are just rumors circulating in the marketplace. I suspect they are just rumors spread by Cao Cao to sow discord among our troops."

Yuan Shao's guess was correct.

These are indeed rumors deliberately spread by someone.

However, the source was not Cao Cao, but Jia Xu, an outstanding overseas student of Cihang University.

When Chen Feng heard that Jia Xu was going to send people to spread rumors, he exclaimed, "This plan is brilliant!"

Jia Xu asked with a smile, "Where are the gods?"

Chen Feng said, "God is behind us. Who could have imagined that Yuan Shao's youngest son would actually die from scabies in the future? When that happens, Cao Cao will be covered in mud on his crotch. Even if it's not shit, it will still look like shit."

After saying that, Chen Feng still felt unsatisfied: "First shoot the arrows, then draw the target, and plan for several months. Even if Zhuge Liang came, he probably wouldn't be able to see through it."

But Jia Xu suddenly shuddered: "No, he can see through it."

Chen Feng was taken aback: "He can know about things that haven't happened yet?"

Jia Xu shook his whisk: "He really knew. You've forgotten that Zhuge Liang, across several universes, foresaw Cihang's arrival."

It really is!

Chen Feng's back was covered in cold sweat: "I don't know why, but suddenly I don't want to fight the Battle of Red Cliffs anymore."

At this time, they were in Yuan Shao's camp.

Upon hearing that Cao Cao had raised an army of 200,000 and divided it into five routes to attack Xuzhou, Tian Feng hurriedly went to find his lord.

to the place.

Tian Feng had not yet spoken.

Then Yuan Shao said, "Of my five sons, my youngest son is my favorite. I never expected Cao Cao to use sorcery to kill all five of my sons. I want to avenge them. What do you think?"

Tian Feng: "Huh?"

Yuan Shao then said, "Now that Cao Cao is campaigning against Liu Bei in the east, Xuchang is vulnerable. I only need to take advantage of this situation to enter the country, which can protect the emperor and save countless lives. What do you think?"

Tian Feng: "Huh?"

My lord is so wise today, I'm a bit stumped by Tian Feng.

Tian Feng thought for a moment and said, "Having lost your beloved son, will you be distraught and unable to fight calmly?"

Yuan Shao was furious: "I am not confused, only enraged! Men, I am raising a million troops to fight Cao Cao to the death!"

After saying this, Yuan Shao asked, "What brings you here?"

Tian Feng thought to himself, "You've said everything, what's the point of me saying anything more?" So he said, "Nothing much, I'm just taking a stroll."

At this time, in Xiaopei City, Xuzhou.

They saw that Cao Cao had raised an army of 200,000 men in five routes to attack.

Liu Bei was greatly alarmed: "What should we do?"

Zhang Fei said, "What are you afraid of, brother? Cao's troops have come from afar and must be exhausted. When they arrive, I will put on my armor, gag myself, and raid their camp. We will surely defeat Cao Cao."

Just as the two brothers were about to go out to deliver it.

Jia Xu said, "No! As Sun Tzu said, 'If you have ten times the strength, surround them; if you have five, attack them.' We are in Xiaopei City, and Cao Cao would need ten times the strength to take us down. If we go out and fight on the plains, five times the strength would give us the advantage. So why should we abandon the city walls and launch a surprise attack?"

Upon hearing this, the two realized it made sense.

But Zhang Fei was still itching to fight: "Mr. Wenhe, are we just going to watch Cao Cao surround us like this?"

Jia Xu squinted: "Of course not."

To put it another way,

Cao Cao was attacking Xuzhou when a sudden gust of wind blew a flag off his side.

The strategist Cheng Yu believed: "With the southeast wind blowing, someone will surely raid the camp tonight."

Cao Cao thought the same way, so he ordered Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Yu Jin, Li Dian, Xu Huang, Yue Jin, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and other generals to divide their troops into nine teams, leaving only one team to set up camp, while the rest of the troops ambushed from all sides.

Cheng Yu laughed and said, "The trap has been set, the ambush is complete, we are just waiting for the enemy to come in."

Then the night passed, and nothing happened.

Cheng Yu was dumbfounded: "With such a tight net, even Liu Bei couldn't escape it if he had wings, but if he doesn't come, there's nothing we can do."

Just as the generals were getting tired, they suddenly saw a troop of cavalry carrying the banner of "Prime Minister Cao" approaching.

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief: "You scared me! I thought Liu Bei was coming to launch a sneak attack, but it turns out I came on my own."

Wait, I'll do it myself?

wrong!

Just as Cao Cao was reacting, a loud shout rang out: "I am Zhang Yide of Yan! Who dares to fight me to the death!"

That's right, this banner was left behind by Chen Feng, specifically for the purpose of ambushing Cao Cao.

After a fierce battle.

Cao's army suffered a major defeat, losing more than 10,000 men.

Meanwhile, bad news kept coming in from the world chat.

Yuan Shao declares war on Cao Cao's army!

[Liu Biao responded to the call and declared war on Cao Cao's army!]

[Yan Liang, a famous general from Hebei, attacked Baima. Liu Yan, the governor of Dongjun, was defeated and killed!]

Yuan Shao's army has crossed the river and is advancing on Yangwu, heading straight for Xuchang.

Cao Cao shouted:

"Oh no, someone's raiding our base!"

"Withdraw the troops immediately!"

According to the scouts, Cao Cao's army abandoned their armor and helmets, unsaddled their horses, and left their baggage by the roadside.

Zhang Fei couldn't contain himself and said, "Mr. Wenhe, let me try again!"

Jia Xu glanced at him and said, "I won't go. This is Guo Fengxiao's plan."

Liu Bei was dumbfounded: "This is also a trap?"

Jia Xu laughed and said, "Cao Cao deliberately dropped things to lure our army out of the city to loot. My lord, think about it: most of our troops are Cao Cao's old subordinates, and the soldiers are fond of money. What if we are suddenly ambushed while fighting for the loot?"

It really is.

Zhang Fei nodded, seemingly understanding, as if he was starting to get a brain.

the other side.

Cao Cao had been lying in ambush for half a day, losing everything, but Liu Bei hadn't pursued them. He couldn't help but wonder, "What's going on? When did Liu Bei become so clever?"

Guo Jia was also dumbfounded: "How could you see through that?"

No way.

Cao Cao could only order Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Yue Jin, and Xiahou Yuan to take 140,000 troops with them to resist Yuan Shao and Liu Biao and protect Xuchang.

As for him, he led 50,000 troops to continue the attack on Xiaopei.

"If I leave, Liu Bei and Yuan Shao will attack me from both sides, so Liu Bei must be destroyed."

But after seeing Cao Cao's army leave, they returned.

Liu Bei was now convinced: "If it weren't for you, sir, I would have fallen into your trap!"

Thinking of this, Liu Bei bowed and thanked him, saying, "Having Wenhe is like a fish finding water!"

"Like a fish in water? Where can you find such stagnant, stagnant water?"

At this moment, Chen Feng used his agility to lead Liu Ye through the army and back to Xiaopei City.

Liu Bei was overjoyed: "Bu Yin, you're back!"

Chen Feng pointed to Liu Ye behind him and said proudly, "Xuande, look what a treasure I brought back for you."

Just as Liu Ye was about to cast a blessing and summon a meteor shower of fire,

A man was enjoying a delicious sashimi while swimming; this man was Chen Deng.

Suddenly, a sleazy old man walked into the house.

He was Chen Gui, Chen Deng's father, an old man who used schemes to outwit Lü Bu.

Chen Gui asked his son, "The enemy is at the city gates, why aren't you in a hurry?"

Chen Deng explained that they were a powerful clan, and both Liu Bei and Cao Cao needed their support when ruling Xuzhou.

So just do your job well, neither slack off nor work yourself to the bone.

Even if Prime Minister Cao wins, he won't make things difficult for them.

Seeing his son's intelligence, Chen Gui smiled and said, "Well said, but I think Cao Cao is being attacked from all sides and can't hold on any longer. It would be better if we did our part."

As soon as the two men reached the top of the city wall, they saw a shower of fiery meteors raining down on Cao Cao, causing him and his men to fall and his army to be routed.

Chen Feng looked at the system announcement.

Liu Bei's army killed Li Dian, and you gained the Protection of Forgetfulness.

You have gained one level of cultivation.

Strange, how did I manage to kill an elite monster? And how did I acquire this level of cultivation?

Chen Feng glanced at Jia Hu.

[Blessing of Forgetfulness: Let bygones be bygones. Those who harmed Li Dian will gain one level of cultivation along with Li Dian.]

What kind of masochist is this?

Just as Chen Feng was reviewing the records.

Suddenly, hundreds of attacking trebuchets were captured by Cao Cao's army.

Twelve ingenious strategies can turn the tide!

Suddenly, blue battle aura surged within Cao Cao's army formation; it turned out that Xun You had activated his protective strategy.

[Unconventional Strategy: Steal an enemy's ability by consuming all your battle energy]

Cao Cao was overjoyed: "Hahaha, we've won again! Smash it!"

But the next second, Cao Cao's smile froze.

A silver-white battle aura suddenly appeared on the top of Xiaopei City, and the thunderbolt cart that had just been stolen was snatched back.

It was the old man Chen Gui.

He laughed and said, "It was just a little trick to tease this brute."
