Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 443: The famous general Meng Huo, no one is available

"Damn it, what is this traitor King Beixian going to do? He is not going to kill King Zhongxian, is he? He is such a villain. In my opinion, King Zhongxian should not have agreed to King Beixian's request for an alliance. Now that King Beixian has killed King Dongxian, King Zhongxian will definitely be the next one. As for King Xixian, he wouldn't dare to provoke him even if he had ten guts."

"We can't say he's a mean person. We can only say he's too ambitious and is willing to do anything to achieve his goals. But there are many such people in history who won't give up until they achieve their goals. Such people often become heroes and will not remain unknown their entire lives."

"Compared to Master Zhang Sanye and his men, Dian Wei's side is killing too slowly. Master Zhang Sanye and his men have already reached the Xianbei's capital, and they have been destroying the enemy along the way, with less than three digit casualties."

"Cao Zhonger should be the biggest beneficiary of this dungeon. He was the first one to start, and he immediately cleared the richest Western Regions, plundering gold, silver, treasures, and strong men. Now he has taken over the Wuhuan conquered by Ma Chao and Huang Zhong, and picked up Liu Caoxie's peaches halfway. Dian Wei and Cao Zhang are about to conquer the Xiongnu. By then, they can collect all the horses of the Xiongnu and Wuhuan, and I'm afraid they can form a cavalry force of hundreds of thousands of people."

"The King of the West is not a piece of cake. I feel that if Cao Zhonger wants to chew off this hard bone of the King of the West, he will at least have to break two front teeth. It can't be as easy as beating the other royal courts."

"Let's not talk about the Western Wise King, just take Zhang Xiu. He doesn't look like an ordinary person. If Dian Wei and Cao Zhang want to defeat them, at least the cavalry they brought will be very few. Maybe one of them will die before they can have a chance to defeat the Western Wise King's court."

"I don't think it should be too difficult. Look at the Xiongnu cavalry and Cao Zhonger's cavalry. The gap is really too big. Cao Zhonger's soldiers are so fierce here, and each one is like a general. More than 20,000 generals fighting ordinary soldiers, how can they win?"

"It's a bit exaggerated to say that he is a military general. It should be said that he is like Zhang Liao leading his troops to fight Zhou Yu. He can always defeat the larger force with a smaller one, and win by a big margin."

"Zhou Yu: Are you polite?"

"In history, only the victors are remembered for generations, but this is not absolute. For example, if your name is Zhou Yu."

"Zhou Yu: Don't cue, thank you."

"The Little Overlord killed quite ruthlessly on the Shanyue tribe. Shanyue had been attacked all the time by Sun Menghu, but the previous attacks were only on the outside and rarely fought to the end. But this time, the Little Overlord led Sun Ce to the heartland of the Shanyue tribe, the Shiwan Mountains. If they hadn't been used to the terrain, I think the Shanyue tribe would have been wiped out."

"Everyone is showing off, but Liu Zhang is the only one getting beaten. Hahahaha. He attacked Meng Huo, the leader of the southwestern barbarians, but not only did he fail to capture Yongchang County, he also lost most of the land in several counties near Yongchang County. The barbarians led by Meng Huo were really fierce, and each of them fought with their lives on the line."

"You haven't paid attention. In fact, Taishi Ci and Xu Rong under Liu Caoxie are the fastest. They have already captured the emperor of Goguryeo and made him a prisoner. Now they are forcing the emperor of Goguryeo to return to Qingzhou to report."

"What? The emperor was captured? Is it that fierce? Why hasn't anyone said anything? These past two days I've been busy watching Dian Wei and the Xiongnu fighting to the death. It's just constant killing, killing, killing. I'm tired of it. I wish Liu Caoxie's subordinates would have such a good job."

“I beg for a live broadcast replay function! [crying.jpg][crying.jpg][crying.jpg]”

"No wonder I don't like dungeons when playing games. It turns out to be so boring. I'm already tired of it. I just want to hack and slash at random."

In recent times, four of the five still active princes have launched attacks on foreign tribes, and each of them has a pretext. Liu Zhang is not aware of the promotion and killing of generals. He attacked Meng Huo only because Meng Huo occupied his territory and there was a fire in his backyard, so he went to put it out.

Shi Xie simply did not go to brush the dungeon, while Gu Rubing, Cao Cao and Sun Jian were scrambling to kill foreign generals, fearing that the other side would kill more than themselves and have stronger generals than themselves.

Sun Jian was the most unlucky among them. Although he was close to the border of the Han Dynasty, there was a vast ocean. There was a Shanyue tribe in his territory. Not to mention the complex and rugged terrain, the Shanyue tribe's generals were not enough for Sun Ce to use. He wanted Sun Ce to go to the southwest to fleece the barbarians, but all the barbarians in the southwest had been gathered by Meng Huo. Sun Ce killed more than a dozen tribes there, and only killed a few second-rate generals in total. He didn't even see the shadow of a first-rate general. He only had 18 legendary general points, including those accumulated before.

Fortunately, Sun Ce's characteristics are here. It only takes 70 legendary general points to be promoted to a legendary general, which means he has a lot of advantages at the starting line. After that, he can think of ways to see where there are other aliens to kill. If that doesn't work, the generals under Shi Xie can be killed.

This was Sun Jian's last resort. If he knew the strength of the legendary generals, Sun Jian would not have made such a choice. He would have chosen to gather the generals under Shi Xie and let them serve him. After all, there were several first-rate generals.

But now, after seeing the strength of the legendary generals, for Sun Jian, ten first-rate generals are not as powerful as one legendary general. In modern times, this legendary general is a strategic weapon at the nuclear level. You can choose not to use it, but you cannot live without it.

If you don't have it, some of your neighbors will bring it up to threaten you every now and then, so some things must be held in your hands to feel at ease. Sun Jian is well aware of this, so if Sun Ce still fails to be promoted to a legendary general in the end, he will use all his strength to attack Shi Xie, and use the generals under Shi Xie's command to become Sun Ce's final whetstone.

Sun Quan had reaped a lot of rewards by then. It had not been long since he was promoted to a second-rate general, but his experience points had already reached over 50. He was less than halfway away from being promoted to a first-rate general. After Sun Quan was promoted to a first-rate general, Sun Jian would have another general under his command, which would make him more confident.

Among the four people who were clearing the dungeon, Liu Zhang was the most frustrated. He was shocked to find that none of the many generals under his command could be a match for Meng Huo. All of them were beaten badly by Meng Huo. Even the strongest general under his command was no exception and was defeated.

Liu Zhang would never have thought that this previously unknown Meng Huo would actually be a famous general. Before this, he had never even heard of Meng Huo's name. As a result, he turned out to be a famous general. A famous general was hiding under his nose, but he didn't notice it. Now his territory was divided up by this famous general, and the general was going to rebel against him. This huge contrast made Liu Zhang furious.

The battle line of Yizhou had expanded from Yongchang County to Yuexi County and Zangke County. Liu Zhang fought for half a month, but not only did he fail to regain any territory, he also lost two and a half counties. This made Liu Zhang feel extremely frustrated.

But Liu Zhang had no way to deal with them. He could not defeat them with his generals. The enemy soldiers all hid in Yongchang County and did not leave the county at all. As for Yuexi County and Zangke County that they conquered, they just took them and left without occupying them at all. This gave Liu Zhang no chance to fight back.

If Liu Zhang really led his troops to reoccupy these cities, Meng Huo would suddenly appear and beat them up again. After several rounds of this, Liu Zhang could no longer bear it and simply left those cities vacant and no longer sent troops to station them. He only arranged a few county magistrates to take care of the people in the cities. Meng Huo did not continue to send troops to attack. In this way, Liu Zhang and Meng Huo were in a stalemate. Liu Zhang could not break into Yongchang County at all, and was blocked outside by Meng Huo relying on the terrain advantage. Meng Huo also said that he did not have enough troops and could not break out. He did not even occupy the cities in Yuexi County and Zangke County that he was capable of occupying, just to prevent Liu Zhang from occupying them, as a buffer zone between the two sides.

Liu Zhang had no choice but to go north in person to ask Cao Cao for support. Meng Huo was definitely a famous general. Liu Zhang had a total of seven first-rate generals, but none of them was Meng Huo's match. They even joined forces several times to fight against the enemy, but failed to defeat Meng Huo. Instead, the morale of Meng Huo's side was greatly boosted.

After Liu Zhang secretly came to Xu Du, he found that the security in Xu Du was very strict, which was no less strict than that in wartime, and even stronger. With this level of security, probably only a legendary general like Guan Yu could succeed in attacking Xu Du. No one else could even think about it.

But along the way, Liu Zhang did not see the figures of several powerful generals under Cao Cao. Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan were not there. Only some second-line generals were busy deploying the defense of Xudu City.

If Liu Zhang had not informed Cao Cao in advance that he was coming, the people Liu Zhang brought with him would probably have been shot into hedgehogs before they even got close.

Liu Zhang was anxious, so he walked very quickly and soon arrived outside Cao Cao's Prime Minister's Mansion. Outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, there were three layers of alert soldiers inside and outside. Each of them was neatly dressed, with shining iron armor and flashing spears. It was obvious that they were not ordinary soldiers.

This kind of defense suddenly made Liu Zhang's heart sink. This level could almost be described as airtight. Liu Zhang felt that this situation could only happen if something happened to Cao Cao. However, when Cao Cao replied to him last time, nothing should have happened. How could it become like this in just a few days?

Liu Zhang's mood suddenly became heavy. He walked towards the mansion with a frown on his face. It was not until he arrived at the reception room in Prime Minister Cao Cao's mansion and saw Cao Cao sitting in the hall safe and sound that Liu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Meng De, what's going on? Why are Xudu and the Prime Minister's residence so heavily guarded?"

Liu Zhang asked doubtfully. He originally thought that Cao Cao was so alert because something had happened, but after seeing Cao Cao, he rejected this idea. Cao Cao smiled and waved to Liu Zhang, then winked at the people around him, and those people bent down and lowered their heads and left the hall.

Cao Cao then spoke.

"Nothing, it's better to be prepared. After all, King Lie has taken out a legendary general. If they come to attack us and we are not prepared, we will be slaughtered by them. We have to be on guard."

As he spoke, Cao Cao's tone became heavy, and the tightly furrowed wrinkles between his brows showed his worry. Liu Zhang also let out a long sigh.

"Who could have imagined that the world's war situation would be changed because of a military commander?"

The two men looked at each other in silence, both feeling tremendous pressure. Guan Yu's promotion to a legendary general was like Guan Yu putting his Green Dragon Crescent Blade on their necks, and there was a thin layer of iron blocking their necks. As long as Guan Yu was willing to put in some effort, he could cut through the iron and cut off their heads.

What Cao Cao is doing now is to use the iron sheet on his body to support the spear, and at the same time let Dian Wei's halberd be placed on Gu Rubing's neck, so as to achieve a balance so that both sides dare not act rashly.

"Ji Yu, you only said in your letter that you had something important to discuss with me. What was it?"

Cao Cao broke the silence between the two and asked Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang also reacted and looked up at Cao Cao.

"I believe Brother Meng De has also heard recently that a military commander named Meng Huo appeared in the southwest of Yizhou. Meng Huo gathered dozens of barbarian forces of all sizes outside the country and occupied Yongchang County. Recently, he also conquered half of Yuexi County and half of Zangke County. Meng Huo had always been unknown before. He was a native of Yizhou County, but I had never heard of him until the end of the last war. He suddenly appeared, and..."

"And what?"

Cao Cao took on the task of supporting the actor at the right time and asked, Liu Zhang's voice was dull and a little regretful.

"That Meng Huo is actually a famous general with superb fighting ability. Even my three top-notch generals couldn't take him down together. He escaped."

"Famous general?"

Cao Cao also frowned, feeling very confused. From the time he traveled through time until now, there was only one person who was born a famous general, Lu Bu. Now that Lu Bu is dead, another one, Meng Huo, who was also born a famous general, appeared. This made Cao Cao wonder if Meng Huo would be the second Lu Bu in the future.

It has always been a small regret for Cao Cao that he failed to recruit Lu Bu under his command at that time. Of course, it is still much worse than not being able to recruit Guan Yu under his command. Now there is Meng Huo, a famous general who was born under his command, which makes Cao Cao want to recruit him under his command.

At the same time, Cao Cao also understood the purpose of Liu Zhang's coming here. Wasn't it to borrow soldiers and generals? All the generals under his command were first-class generals, and they were definitely no match for Meng Huo. He could only borrow Cao Cao's generals to deal with Meng Huo.

However, what Liu Zhang didn't know was that Cao Cao was also stretched thin. Of the five famous generals, Dian Wei was in the Xiongnu, working hard to be promoted to a legendary general. Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren were now in Wuhuan, trying to encircle and hunt down Huang Zhong and Ma Chao. They might not be able to get back in a short time. The only famous general left by his side was Xiahou Yuan, but Xiahou Yuan was responsible for training new recruits and preparing for war, so he couldn't spare time. Cao Cao was suddenly in a situation where no one was available.
