  Thirty miles outside the city of Suiping, a military camp was stationed, with flags flying high and an imposing atmosphere. The commander's flag read "Cao, Xiahou". In the central command tent, a middle-aged man in a green robe sat relaxed, intently reading a book. This man had an air of mystery about him, his eyes deep as the ocean, yet shrouded in darkness. His slightly upturned mouth seemed to hold a hint of evil intent.

  It made people look at this middle-aged man in a green robe and couldn't help but feel a little hairy.

  On the other end of the commander's tent in the Chinese army, a map of Yu Province was hung up, with circles and dots all over it, as if indicating something...

  After a long time, a soft curse sounded: "This Liu Dajie, why hasn't he taken the bait yet? I've been hiding here for three days..."

  Taking a closer look, it was a burly middle-aged man wearing fish-scale iron armor, with whiskers like steel needles standing upright. The most striking thing was that there was a sinister scar on his left cheek, and a black mask was worn over his left eye. With every movement, the intimidation he gave off was like that of a tiger or leopard, making one's hair stand on end.

  Or was it this voice that startled the middle-aged man in green clothes, and the middle-aged man chuckled and said: "General Yuan Rang can't hold his breath so quickly?"

  "Hoo, sir, how can I calm down? The war with Yuan Shao is imminent, but I'm not on the front line, instead leading troops to annihilate Liu Dai'er. It's called annihilation, but it's actually stationed here, not moving at all... what do you think of me..."

  "Haha...... Yuan Rang General, what is most important for a commander?" The middle-aged man in green clothes looked up and asked the robust general.

  "Ah... for a hero... A hero, the soul of a warrior, should not be arrogant or impatient..." The middle-aged man named General Yuan Rang suddenly came to his senses, thought deeply for a moment, and then turned to the young man in green clothes: "Mr. Wenhe, before Meng De left, he instructed me to ask Mr. Wenhe for advice on many things. I have something unclear, sir, may I..."

  The majestic general was Xiahou Dun, Cao Cao's first trusted general. The middle-aged man in green clothes was Jia Xu, also known as Jia Wenhe, who had recently joined Cao's camp.

  "Does General Yuan Rang have any doubts about his lord's orders?" asked Jia Xu with a smile, looking at Yuan Rang.

  "Not bad, Mr. Wen has made a good point, but I don't understand why Master is being so stubborn?"

  "Haha, General Yuan Rang is indeed brave and powerful, with a good way of governing the army... He can be considered a talented general... A commander, as General Yuan Rang just said, is the soul of his soldiers... When encountering things, he remains calm and unhurried; when winning battles, he is not arrogant; when losing battles, he is not discouraged..."

  "Our lord and Yuan Shao are about to engage in a great battle, while Liu Xuande is a hero of the world, skilled in the art of hiding his time. With Guan Yu and Zhang Fei by his side, if he has the help of a noble scholar, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. After Liu Bei's return from Yuan Shao, did he want to respond to Yuan Shao from afar? Attacking each other from north and south, our lord must first eliminate the threat before the great battle. Liu Bei is still unstable in Suiping, the time to eliminate him is ripe..."

  "You had the perfect opportunity to eliminate Liu Bei, so why did you order me to hold back? Isn't this a waste...?" Xiahou Dun opened his tiger-like eyes wide and shouted loudly.

  "Heh heh, are you really going to remain still?" Jia Yu stroked his three long whiskers and said in a low voice.

  "What does the teacher mean..."

  "Hehe, General Yuan Rang, it's getting late, I'll take my leave first..."

  "Ah... farewell, sir..." Xiahou Dun said with a bow.

  Suddenly, a cool breeze swept past outside the tent, and Jia Yu quietly tightened his cyan robe, gazing up at the starry sky above, muttering to himself: "This might be Guo Langzi's scheme? Hmph, that despicable Guo Fengxiao... originally I was going to keep a low profile, but that guy's single sentence made me unable to... Ah!"

  Every time he thought of this, Jia Yu had a fire in his heart that was boiling and burning...

  Jia Xu's profound eyes flashed with an inexplicable glow as he recalled Liu Bei's warm and benevolent mask hiding a fierce ambition to conquer the world. Liu Bei, a hero of the age, if he were to die, would it not be beneficial for our lord?

  But thinking of Cao Cao's temperament, Jia Xu's eyes quickly dimmed, and he let out a low sigh before walking back to his own tent.

  "Master's temperament is like this, well... let's just observe for now..."

  The wind continued to blow, a low sigh slowly dissipated in the air.

  *****

  Suì Píng Chéng, Liú Bèi zhòng rén zhěng zhuāng dài fā, zhàn yì gāo xiáng!

  Translation:

  Then Ping City, Liu Bei and his men were fully armed and ready to set off, with high morale!

  Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others were full of fighting spirit. Zhang Fei's face was flushed with excitement, clenching his fists, while Liu Bei was also in high spirits.

  Appearing to be full of energy, Chen and Zhao Yun had a solemn expression. Half a moment later, Liu Bei's eyes wandered around the crowd, then he drew out his pair of swords from his waist and swung them in the air, shouting loudly: "All generals listen to my orders! The outcome will be decided today, I hope all of you will advance and retreat with me..."

  "I will follow you to death, Young Master..."

  "Good, after this battle is won, one by one reward, according to the original plan, set off..."

  "Yes!" The generals all raised their hands in response.

  "Hmm... Liu Bei looked at his ' resourceful and clever' son, pondered for a moment before saying: "Xuan'er, this time you'll follow me to experience the atmosphere of war!"

  "Ah..." Liu Xuan heard Liu Bei say this and his eyes twitched violently for a moment, then he shrugged helplessly and replied: "Yes, father!......"

  "Pong, pong, pong......"

  Zhang Fei led three thousand new soldiers towards Xiahou Dun's camp, and on the way, Zhang Fei's personal soldier approached him and whispered: "General, our three thousand troops are going to attack Cao's army? Won't this...?"

  Zhang Fei heard his trusted general Chen Da express his concerns and glared at him, saying: "Chen Da, how many years have you been with me?"

  "Huh? Ah... since General took command, I've been following him for seven years now. Why is the General asking this?" Chen Da rubbed the back of his head in puzzlement, but quickly spoke up.

  "Yes, it's been seven years in the blink of an eye," Zhang Fei also felt a little sentimental, as if time had passed in the twinkling of an eye.

  "So you think Ben will lead these 3,000 undisciplined troops to clash head-on with Xia Hou's 5,000 elite soldiers?"

  "Hmm... General, of course not." Chen chuckled to himself and thought: "You're not stupid at all, once you get impulsive, even five oxen can't pull you back..." But this was just a thought, he couldn't say it out loud, fearing that if he did, Zhang Fei would take it as an excuse to vent his anger.

  Chen Dafu recalled the words of his superior before departure, and couldn't help but nod his head twice. Can a general with such a temper be restrained by a small soldier like me?

  "Chen Dao, you have followed Yide for a long time and are familiar with his temperament. In this battle against Cao's army, Yide's success or failure is crucial to the final outcome. If Yide becomes impulsive and reckless, remind him at all costs, remember!" Liu Bei's words of caution still echoed in his ears.

  After marching for about two and a half hours, Zhang Fei finally saw the Cao army camp in the distance. From afar, he could see that the Cao army camp was arranged very tightly, and Zhang Fei nodded to himself in secret, although he had said that Xiahou Dun was not worth fighting, but in his heart, he still took it seriously, relying solely on marching and fighting, the strictness of the army, Zhang Fei's respect had already increased.

  Xiahou Dun was a great general of Cao Cao and did not get his reputation in vain; he had real talent and ability.

  But what's the use? I, Zhang, want to deal with Xiahou Dun, and yet I'm afraid of that Xiahou Dun. Hmph...

  In an instant, Zhang Fei turned his head and shouted at Chen: "Chen Da, go and call out Xiahou Dun to come out and meet his death..."

  "Yes! General!" Chen Da responded quickly and excitedly upon receiving the order.

  "This guy is even more diligent than I am!"

  Someone who can be Zhang Fei's personal army captain, of course, is also similar to Zhang Fei! Chen Da has a tendency towards war violence and bloodiness in his bones...

  In a short while, under Chen's furious rebuke, the three thousand soldiers formed a line and loudly shouted orders to drive out Xiahou, the treacherous dog, to meet his death...

  The so-called three thousand soldiers are just a mob, how long can they march? The three thousand soldiers have already cried out in distress, their formation scattered and disorganized. If it weren't for Zhang Fei and Chen Da's bravery intimidating this crowd, I'm afraid these three thousand soldiers would have packed up and left long ago.

  Chen Da's loud command made the group of people feel relieved, and they immediately dispersed their formation. Some sat down, some lay down, some even took off their helmets and armor and fell asleep with their feet in the air, while others pulled down their pants to urinate... The scene was a chaotic mess, and Chen Da and his men couldn't help but shake their heads. With these people shouting about resisting Cao's army, they would probably scatter before even engaging in battle.

  Thinking of this, Chen's eyebrows were even more worried, and he didn't know what the general was thinking. Zhang Fei's prestige over the years made Chen choose to obey reluctantly!

  Behind him, Zhang Fei took in the 3,000 soldiers in front of him as if they were within his grasp. A hint of pity flashed across his tiger-like eyes, but was quickly covered up by coldness and bloodlust. Originally, Zhang Fei had some reservations about these people, it was clear that these 3,000 men were just bait, but after seeing their behavior today, the slightest bit of mercy he had was thrown far away!

  Zhang Fei appears to be rough and impulsive in his actions, but he is actually meticulous in his thoughts. Although he was dissatisfied with the orders given by his elder brother, he still carried them out grudgingly. Despite being rough around the edges, Zhang Fei knew what was important and what wasn't, and he understood the gravity of different situations.

  Three thousand people enthusiastically shouted and scolded towards Cao's military camp, greatly excited. Completely unaware of the danger approaching...

  Cao Jun's camp, the commander of the central army, Xiahou Dun's face was gloomy, his facial muscles twitching violently, and a scar on his left cheek looked even more ferocious.

  Xiahou Dun heard the deputy general report that Zhang Fei led 3,000 soldiers to shout and scold outside the camp. Xiahou Dun's anger rose, and he slammed his fist on the command case, destroying it. He wanted to go out of the camp to fight, but at that moment, Cao Cao's words appeared in his mind, and he reluctantly gave up for the sake of Cao Cao's great plan. He ordered the front camp to closely watch Zhang Fei's army.

  From start to finish, Jia Yu sat beside the left prime and was reading a book. Jia Yu saw Xia Hou Dun's urgent defeat but did not make a sound. He only saw Xia Hou Dun calm down after a moment and order the soldiers to be vigilant. A hint of a smile appeared on Jia Yu's slightly raised mouth.

  It seems that General Yuan Rang is not a rotten wood that cannot be carved after all. The lord also wants to take this opportunity to hone General Yuan Rang, right? Perhaps, this is the true intention of the lord. He didn't send General Miao Cai over for nothing. Jia Xun pondered secretly in his heart.

  Xiahou Dun saw that the commander's case was torn into four or five pieces, and found that he seemed to have been a bit impulsive, stole a glance at Jia Xu, with no significant movement, and let out a mouthful of turbid air.

  Outside Cao Jun's camp, the three thousand soldiers led by Zhang Fei had been shouting themselves hoarse without seeing a single soldier from Cao's army come out. Zhang Fei muttered to himself, "Could it be that my old self has intimidated them? Has Xiahou been scared off?" If he hadn't seen that there were indeed Cao's soldiers on guard inside the camp, Zhang Fei would have thought that the camp was empty.

  After about half a time, Chen Da arrived beside Zhang Fei in a hurry. At this time, Zhang Fei had already dismounted and was resting, sitting on a stone beside him, polishing the 18-foot snake spear. Seeing Zhang Fei's focused expression while rubbing the spear, Chen Da coughed several times with a helpless look.

  Zhang Fei slowly said without lifting his head: "What's there to say?"

  "Alas... General, no matter how we taunt him, Xiahou Dun just won't come out to fight! This..." Chen Da said with a bitter taste.

  "Hmm, it seems that Xiahou Dun is indeed able to hold his temper. Hmph, continue scolding him for me, yes, include his parents and siblings in the scolding...scold them to death, no matter how ugly the words are..." Zhang Fei said with a sly smile after a moment of contemplation.

  "Hmmph... If you still don't come out, I'll add the ancestors of eighteen generations to it, and be gone..." Zhang Fei said with a big wave of his hand.

  "Yes!"

  "Big Chen..."

  "What else does the general have?" Chen Da looked at Zhang Fei with doubt.

  "Come closer, Xiahou Dun won't come out to fight, hmm... you're like this and that..." Zhang Fei's tiger eyes rolled around, his big mouth opened wide in a smile, as he slowly spoke to Chen Da in a soft voice.

  Cao Jun's camp, central army commander's tent.

  Bang!

  Inside the tent, another loud cracking sound was heard. Immediately, a furious roar shook the sky.

  "Damn it, Zhang Tufu, you thieving scoundrel! If I don't chop you into a million pieces, I swear I'll never be human again..."

  Come on, mobilize 4,000 soldiers and horses to follow me into battle...

  Wei Yan heard Xiahou Dun's uncontrollable anger and slightly furrowed his brow, putting down the book in his hand: "General Yuan, this is Zhang Fei's provocative plan, General Yuan must not fall for it..."

  "Hmph, who cares if he's hot-headed or not, that Zhang Fei actually insulted Meng De, just watch me take him down..."

  Jia Xu saw Xiahou Dun like this, Jia Xu also didn't dare to say anything. Relying solely on Xiahou Dun's and Cao Cao's friendship, everyone in Cao's camp knew about it. Moreover, he had just entered Cao's camp... Jia Xu also didn't dare to persuade him! Xiahou Dun stormed out of the tent in a rage, Jia Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, listening to the deputy general say that Zhang Fei led an army of three thousand men, looking like nothing more than a mob. This might be Xiahou Dun's true intention.

  Three thousand mobs can defeat my Cao army's four thousand Qingzhou soldiers? What a joke...

  Jia Xu, however, had a keen sense of smell and caught a whiff of conspiracy. He muttered to himself: "Who could have set this trap? Liu Bei? Guan Yu? Jian Yong?..." Jia Xu shook his head one by one, thinking that if Liu Bei and the others had such strategic thinking, they wouldn't have been wandering around for so many years without achieving anything!

  No matter what, Xiahou Dun had already gone to battle and couldn't be stopped. Xiahou Dun was unexpected, Jia Xu also couldn't escape responsibility, Jia Xu also sighed helplessly, then came out of the tent and said to the small soldiers outside: "Quickly go invite General Li Dian to come here, say there's something to discuss..."

  After a moment, Li Dian anxiously entered the commander's tent and saw Jia Xu deep in thought beside the map. Li Dian also came to his side and said: "Sir, what about General Xiahou?"

  "Alas, let's not talk about this for now. Yuan Yan is determined to go into battle, and Zhang Fei is clearly luring him in. If Yuan Yan enters lightly, he will surely fall into the enemy's trap, and it's likely that disaster will befall us! We can't just sit back and wait for death."

  "Hmm, Zhang Fei's mere three thousand undisciplined troops, if not for Xiahou General, I'm afraid there wouldn't be any other options. Sir, you said Xiahou General is mostly unlucky and rarely lucky, isn't that a bit too hasty?" Li Dian furrowed his brow and said.

  After all, Cao Jun's Qingzhou army combat power is well-known to everyone. Although it can't compare with Cao Cao's Hu Bao cavalry, Hu Wei army, and Imperial Guard, the difference is not too far apart.

  Jia Yu shook his head and said, "General Man City, look at Liu Bei's ambition, it is not small. With Guan Zhang's help, I'm afraid General Yuan will be blinded by anger and secretly calculated by Liu Bei..."

  When Jia Xu mentioned Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Li Dian's face suddenly turned gloomy, with a worried look between his eyebrows. In fact, it was as Jia Xu said, and Li Dian could only nod in agreement.

  "If so, sir, you must have a clever plan to help General Xiahou?"

  "It's not a clever plan, it's just asking for reinforcements."

  "Reinforcements?" Li Dian was somewhat perplexed, furrowing his brow as he looked at Jia Xu: "Sir, what reinforcements are you referring to?"

  "General Miao Cai..." Jia Xun stroked his beard before slowly speaking.

  "What a genius?"

  Not bad, if I'm guessing correctly, General Miao might have already arrived here. Jia Yu narrowed his eyes and pointed to a point on the map.

  "General Miao is known as the swift general, now secretly arriving here, I'm afraid it's Guo Ziyi's plan to 'repair the plank road and secretly cross the Wei River'. General Yuan is just confusing Liu Bei, but no matter how much he calculates, he can't calculate Zhang Fei's rotten move. Alas... Mancheng, quickly dispatch a trusted person to summon General Miao to lead his troops here, perhaps it will be too late, I'm afraid we won't make it in time." Jia Xu let out a small sigh before slowly speaking.

  "I'll go right away."

  "Manchester City, you wait below with a thousand remaining soldiers to ambush this place. After General Miao and General Yuan withdraw, you can retreat."

  "Is that you, sir?"

  "I? Don't worry, the way of using troops is virtual and real, real and virtual..." Jia Xi smiled.

  "That's all for now, I'll go make arrangements." Li Dian bowed and backed out of the commander's tent, then immediately went to make arrangements.

  Jia Xu gazed at the floating clouds in the sky for a while before slowly saying: "Alas... what's all this about? Liu Bei, heh heh, I'll return you a favor, and also help Yuan Yan's general vent some anger..."

  As he spoke, he went towards the rear army.
