Chapter 236: Chapter 235
The next day.
Chen Ye, clad in armor and riding a tall horse, stood at the forefront of the army, wielding a massive broadsword.
With the system's assistance, as soon as Chen Ye touched the horse, he automatically mastered horseback riding.
Of course, this skill was temporary! Once he left the current world, he would forget it.
"I never expected that it would be the Battle of Red Cliff!" Chen Ye sighed.
The current time was September of the thirteenth year of Jian'an!
At this point in time, the Battle of Red Cliff was about to break out.
Initially, Chen Ye thought that being assigned to Cao Cao's camp was a good thing.
After all, during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao's forces were always the strongest.
But now it seemed like this was a major pitfall!
According to the original storyline, Cao Cao would suffer a significant defeat at the Battle of Red Cliff!
Not only would he lose a considerable number of troops, but he would also miss the chance to unify the country in a short period!
This defeat was probably the biggest loss Cao Cao had suffered since his rise to power.
This battle also laid the groundwork for the division of the world into three parts, setting the stage for the Three Kingdoms era.
"Historically, Cao Cao's defeat here was a huge loss of 600 points! However, the alliance between Sun Quan and Liu Bei was more about luck than strategy. Now that I know the plot, as long as I warn Cao Cao in advance, can we still lose?"
"Hmm... That Zhuge Liang could be troublesome. I'd better take him out early, lest he keeps coming up with more tricks!"
Chen Ye thought to himself.
He was self-aware, knowing that his greatest advantage was his knowledge of the plot.
In terms of strategy, he certainly couldn't outplay Zhuge Liang!
Behind Chen Ye was an army composed of Reincarnators, all of whom had voluntarily chosen to follow Lord Shura...
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Suddenly, the sound of war drums filled the air.
Chen Ye immediately perked up.
He knew that Cao Cao was preparing to pursue Liu Bei.
At present, Cao Cao's army had already taken control of Xiangyang City, and ahead lay Dangyang County!
According to history, in Dangyang County, a famous battle would soon take place— the Battle of Changban!
This battle was renowned for the remarkable feats of two individuals.
One was Zhao Zilong of Changshan, who charged into Cao Cao's army, killing seven times and saving Liu Bei's son, Ah Dou, with no one able to stop him!
The other was Zhang Fei, who, on the Changban Bridge, let out a mighty roar that scared a Cao general to death and caused Cao Cao's army to halt, buying time for Liu Bei to escape!
"Zhao Zilong, Zhang Yide... I wonder if your martial skills can withstand my fists!" Chen Ye thought with a smile.
Then, he led the Reincarnators, following the main army, advancing towards Dangyang County.
...
That morning, Cao Cao's army arrived at Changban.
Standing atop Jing Mountain, overlooking his unstoppable army, Cao Cao's heart swelled with pride and confidence!
He now commanded tens of thousands of soldiers, had countless great generals and strategists, and controlled more than half of the Han Empire's territory.
Such advantages made Cao Cao full of confidence in his quest to unify the land.
The day he united the realm under one rule would be the day he ascended the throne as emperor!
Those who had once looked down on him could never have imagined that Cao Aman would rise to such heights!
Caught up in his triumph, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile.
However, there were still two obstacles that needed to be removed.
Sun Quan and Liu Bei!
With such momentum, Cao Cao didn't believe he could fail.
Sun Quan was nothing more than a fledgling—how could he possibly stand against him?
As for Liu Bei...
Seeing the Liu army below, battered and fleeing, Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh heartily.
Suddenly, Cao Cao noticed a fierce general charging up from the bottom of the mountain, his silver spear dancing, cutting down every foe in his path, unstoppable.
Cao Cao immediately took an interest and asked, "Who is this man?"
At this time, Zhao Yun's reputation was not yet well-known, so most of Cao's camp didn't recognize him.
Cao Hong rode forward and loudly asked Zhao Yun, "Which warrior do I have the honor of addressing?"
"I am Zhao Zilong of Changshan!!" Zhao Yun replied loudly as he continued his charge, cutting down several more of Cao's soldiers in the process.
"What a formidable general!" Cao Cao exclaimed, unable to contain his admiration, and he shouted, "Such a rare talent! Pass the order—do not kill him. I want this man captured alive!"
Cao Hong immediately conveyed the lord's command.
Zhao Zilong was not only brave but also incredibly fast, making him difficult to capture alive.
Under normal circumstances, a volley of arrows from the army would have left Zhao Yun with no chance of escape.
But because Cao Cao admired his talent and ordered him captured alive, no one dared to loose a cold arrow, allowing Zhao Yun to escape with Ah Dou, solidifying his legendary status.
At that moment.
Chen Ye was among the army.
He wasn't part of the vanguard, so he wasn't on the front lines of the battle.
That white-armored general with the silver spear charging into Cao's army had already caught Chen Ye's attention.
"That must be Zhao Zilong of Changshan," Chen Ye thought, his gaze filled with admiration for Zhao Yun.
If Xu Chu represented sheer strength, then Zhao Yun embodied speed.
Zhao Yun was incredibly fast!
His spear thrusts and retractions were as quick as lightning.
The silver spear in Zhao Yun's hand twirled and danced, forming a blur of gunflowers.
Ordinary people could only see the shadow of the spear's tip.
Thus, before his enemies could react, they would find a bloody hole in their bodies, pierced by Zhao Yun's spear.
"The lord has commanded, whoever can capture Zhao Zilong alive will be richly rewarded!"
A messenger shouted as he ran through the ranks, relaying the orders.
Hearing the messenger's words, Chen Ye's eyes flashed.
He turned to the Reincarnators behind him and asked, "Is anyone interested in taking him down?"
The Reincarnators, seeing Zhao Yun's formidable prowess, all wore serious expressions and shook their heads, admitting they couldn't handle him...
"Duwei, you should do it!"
"Yeah! That enemy general is too fast; his agility must be over 200 points. We can't deal with that..."
Chen Ye nodded.
Then, with a kick to his horse's flanks, he galloped out from the ranks, heading straight for Zhao Zilong.
His actions immediately drew the attention of many.
"My lord, look at Luo Zhongye! It seems he's going to capture General Zhao Zilong for you!" Cao Hong quickly alerted Cao Cao.
"Oh?"
Cao Cao's interest was piqued as he turned his gaze towards Chen Ye.
Not only Cao Cao, but several generals on the field, including Xu Chu and Xiahou Yuan, were also watching closely.
The enemy general's bravery and speed were astonishing.
They doubted that even if they went up, they would fare well—capturing Zhao Yun seemed almost impossible.
Could Luo Zhongye, whom the lord had praised as a tiger general of his time, succeed?
