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

Chapter 462: Zhang Ren is promoted to a famous general, Liu Zhang suddenly becomes enlightened
Zhang Ren hesitated for only a moment before making a decision. He took out a spear from his waist and threw it out. This attack was not aimed at Meng Huo, but at a first-class general who was fighting against two enemies on the battlefield.

Zhang Ren had seen this man in the previous battle. He was Meng Huo's brother Meng Jie, also a fierce general. At this moment, he was holding a big knife and fighting with Deng Xian and Leng Bao, with a style quite like Meng Huo on the battlefield.

A gun tip cut through the air, making a sharp sound, and rushed straight towards Meng Jie. Meng Jie had just fought off Leng Bao when he suddenly heard a sound of breaking wind in his ears, and subconsciously raised his knife to block it.

There was a clang sound, and at the same time, a huge force was transmitted to Meng Jie's arm. He was hit and suddenly tilted. It was this tilt that gave Deng Xian a chance. He stepped forward and threw a gun at Meng Jie. Leng Bao rushed forward from the other side, raised his spear and stabbed, trying to kill him in the throat with one shot.

Almost instantly, the continuous attacks from the three people made Meng Jie unable to defend himself. Although Leng Bao's spear failed to pierce his throat, it hit his chest, and a horrifying wound appeared on Meng Jie's chest.

When Meng Huo saw this scene, his eyes were bloodshot. He no longer cared about staring at Zhang Ren, and turned around to kill his brother. His younger brother had just been seriously injured and had a near-death experience. How could he bear to watch his brother repeat the same mistake?

"Thief, your enemy is me!"

Zhang Ren shouted loudly, swung his spear, and rushed towards Meng Huo to stop Meng Huo from supporting Meng Jie.

Although Meng Huo's side had many first-rate generals, most of the troops were first-rate generals from the barbarians. Only his elder brother Meng Jie and younger brother Meng You were considered to be strong enough. The actual level of other first-rate generals from the barbarians was only half of that of ordinary first-rate generals. This was why Meng Jie fought alone against Deng Xian and Leng Bao, while the other four could not defeat the other two.

As long as Meng Jie dies or loses his fighting ability, then except for himself, no one else among the people Meng Huo brought here today can go back with him.

"Get out of my way, Grandpa!"

Meng Huo roared, turned around and swung his axe. The moment the axe was chopped, it was as if a tiger pounced forward. The violent momentum suppressed Zhang Ren so much that he even felt a little breathless. The power was overbearing and sharp, giving Zhang Ren a feeling that if he dared to stand in front of the axe, he would die on the spot.

But at this moment, Zhang Ren suddenly felt an incomparable heroic spirit in his heart. Facing this fatal axe, Zhang Ren not only did not retreat, but instead shook his arm violently, raised his spear horizontally, and met Meng Huo with the spear. It was at the moment when the two weapons touched that Zhang Ren was finally promoted from a first-class general to a famous general.

Meng Huo only felt that Zhang Ren's strength seemed to have increased a lot in an instant. He was about to break Zhang Ren's defense in an instant, but Zhang Ren's sudden burst of power blocked him.

"kill!"

Zhang Ren shouted loudly, and swung the spear in his hand, pointing it at the lower part of Meng Huo's hand holding Pangu Axe. Then he swung out with the spear, and the butt of the spear struck horizontally, hitting Pangu Axe that he had just pointed at with the spear, and actually knocked Pangu Axe out of his hand and flew out. Meng Huo looked at Zhang Ren in horror, and he didn't have time to react at all, but Zhang Ren had already stabbed out the spear again, trying to kill Meng Huo with one shot.

The sudden outburst and the shot that carried a fierce gust of wind finally made Meng Huo react. He roared, opened his hands, and swung them violently. The explosive power of his arms blocked Zhang Ren's shot. Then, with the help of the terrain, he used the Baji Bengquan force, and the two snakes came out, knocking Zhang Ren out with one punch.

Zhang Ren stepped back, using his spear to support himself on the ground, and then slowly stopped his backward trend. He stopped and swung his spear hard like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, blocking Meng Huo who was approaching him with a pair of iron fists.

After the shot, a bloody mark was left on Meng Huo's hands, and Zhang Ren was kicked out by Meng Huo.

At this time, Meng Jie, who was besieged by Leng Bao and Deng Xian, was lying on the ground in despair, dying. After being pierced through the shoulder by a bullet from Leng Bao, he was knocked several feet away by Deng Xian. Leng Bao, who was following closely behind, fired another shot at him, leaving Meng Jie with only one breath left.

The two of them were not interested in fighting. If Meng Huo returned to the battlefield, they would be the first to suffer. They did not want to take this risk. After all, Zhang Ren and Meng Huo had fought many times, but they were defeated every time. Could they stop Meng Huo this time? It was because of this idea that they did not dare to take the risk. They repaired Meng Jie's wounds and withdrew in disgrace.

However, how could they have imagined that Zhang Ren would block Meng Huo this time, and not only block Meng Huo, but also leave a mark on Meng Huo's body for the first time. This was the first time they had injured Meng Huo since they began to attack Yongchang County, and it was also the first time they had gained the upper hand in a fight between military generals.

"Great! Hahahaha, you are worthy of being the most powerful general under my command, hahahaha! Justice! Awesome!"

Liu Zhang excitedly cheered for Zhang Ren, and at the same time waved the two short hammers in his hands and beat the big drum to cheer for Zhang Ren and the others.

As Zhang Ren injured Meng Huo, the morale of the Yizhou army was boosted. All the soldiers on the front line shouted Zhang Ren's name loudly. On the other hand, Meng Huo's injury seemed to have made them lose their backbone.

In this slightly noisy environment, Meng Huo lost another first-class general, and Meng Jie also breathed his last. After all, he could not wait for Meng Huo to come and rescue her.

Seeing Meng Jie die, Deng Xian and Leng Bao both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Killing Meng Huo's brother Meng Jie was a great military achievement. If he was lost in vain, the two would probably regret it. Fortunately, Meng Jie's injuries were too serious and he didn't survive until Meng Huo came to support him.

"No! Bro!"

Meng Huo, the famous general, actually burst into tears at this moment. He had lived with his brother and younger brother since he was a child, and they had the deepest relationship. Previously, he failed to protect his younger brother, which caused his younger brother to be seriously injured. It can be said that he had saved his life from the King of Hell.

Now he watched his brother die in front of his own eyes. Not only did he fail to stop it, he couldn't even avenge his brother. This situation brought Meng Huo to the brink of collapse. He rushed to Meng Jie's body and picked up his brother's body.

At the same time, the three first-class generals of the barbarian tribe who were promoted looked at the desperate Meng Huo, and they were even more desperate. They were facing the siege of five people, which doubled the pressure. Not to mention that they were also facing Zhang Ren who had been promoted to a famous general. It was even more difficult for them to resist the opponent's offensive, and soon everyone was injured.

Just when the three were on the verge of collapse, Meng Huo finally stood up from the ground, picked up his Pangu Axe from the ground beside him, his eyes seemed to be bursting with anger, he stared at Zhang Ren and others angrily, his hands tightly grasping the handle of Pangu Axe, the veins on his arms bulged, and he stared at Deng Xian and Leng Bao, the two people who killed his brother.

"kill!"

Meng Huo shouted angrily and rushed towards Deng Xian with Pangu Axe, intending to chop together the two people who killed his brother. At the same time, he kept staring at Leng Bao, vowing to kill them both.

"Justice, save me!" Deng Xian shouted hurriedly. He could not resist Meng Huo's attack. The two of them could kill Meng Huo's brother together, but they could not stop Meng Huo's attack. Even if they joined forces, they could only live longer under Meng Huo's hands.

Before Deng Xian called for help, Zhang Ren had already stepped forward with his gun and stood between Deng Xian and Meng Huo.

"Get out of here, Grandpa!"

Facing Zhang Ren who was blocking his way, Meng Huo immediately attacked with an axe. This is the most powerful attack method with weapons such as swords and axes. It can split Mount Huashan with force. If someone who is not strong enough wants to take this move, he will probably end up with both arms broken and it will be difficult for him to take this blow.

Even Zhang Xiu, who had been promoted to a famous general, was forced to retreat several feet away by this attack, but he did block the attack. Meng Huo's attack failed to work, so he stepped on the ground with one leg and leaped forward, trying to bypass Zhang Ren and kill Deng Xian and Leng Bao. However, Zhang Ren was like a fly, always lingering around him. When Meng Huo was about to break through Zhang Ren's defense line, Zhang Ren suddenly stabbed out with a gun, blocking Meng Huo's route and direction and stopping him again.

Meng Huo was blocked again and looked at Zhang Ren without any emotion in his eyes.

"Since you are looking for death, I will let you die first."

Meng Huo no longer insisted on bypassing Zhang Ren to attack Deng Xian and the others. He saw through Zhang Ren's purpose, which was to use Deng Xian and the others as bait to lure him into continuous attacking so that he could find a chance to hurt himself. After realizing this, Meng Huo made a prompt decision. Since Zhang Ren wanted to die so much, he would let Zhang Ren go first and be buried with his brother.

Seeing that Meng Huo was no longer fooled and chose to fight him head-on, Zhang Ren immediately retreated more than ten feet, putting some distance between himself and Meng Huo and no longer fighting him in close combat.

Looking at Zhang Ren who was like a flea, whom he could neither hide nor kill, Meng Huo was about to collapse. Seeing that the three of his subordinates were suffering more and more injuries and were about to follow in the footsteps of the first-rate general and his brother, Meng Huo finally gritted his teeth and said a word.

"withdraw!"

As Meng Huo uttered the word, the three injured first-rate generals seemed to have heard the sound of nature. Joyful smiles appeared on their faces, and they immediately began to retreat, as if they were afraid that if they ran too slowly, they would not be able to escape.

Zhang Ren and the other five men watched Meng Huo and his men retreating and did not continue to pursue them. In this battle, not only did they injure Meng Huo, which had never been done before, they also killed Meng Huo's brother Meng Jie, and incidentally killed another first-class general.

It can be said that they have not achieved such a great victory since the war with Meng Huo, so they were very tactful and did not choose to pursue.

After Meng Huo's figure disappeared, the few people turned around and walked towards the Yizhou army camp. Liu Zhang came to the gate of the camp early to welcome them back, with an unconcealable joy on his face.

Judging from Zhang Ren's performance on the battlefield, it can be seen that Zhang Ren must have been promoted to a famous general, otherwise how could he be able to fight Meng Huo to a stalemate in such a short time.

After Liu Zhang opened Zhang Ren's panel, he saw the word "Famous General" clearly displayed in the column of Zhang Ren's famous general level, and after the famous general, it was the four words "Legendary General" that Liu Zhang saw for the first time.

After seeing the four words "Legendary General Clicks on These", many things that Liu Zhang couldn't understand before seemed to be understood at that moment. He was originally wondering why Dian Wei and others under Cao Cao were already famous generals, so they still had to go out and fight with those foreign races.

The reasons and excuses Cao Cao gave him, such as he couldn't stand the foreign races attacking their Han Dynasty and those who are not of our race must have different hearts, were just a cover-up for Cao Cao to promote Dian Wei to a legendary general.

Then, what about Guan Yu, who was said to have broken the city wall in Yangzhou with one sword and forced back hundreds of thousands of Sun Jian's troops? Has he already been promoted to a legendary general?

At this moment, Liu Zhang realized how big the distance was between him and Cao Cao, Gu Rubing and others.

Just as Liu Zhang was immersed in shock, a voice suddenly sounded, pulling him out of his thoughts.

"Report, my lord, Cao Cao has appeared ten kilometers away with several thousand cavalrymen."

"Cao Cao?"

After hearing the name, Liu Zhang immediately left the chair he was sitting on and stood up suddenly. He was still thinking about Cao Cao just now, but he didn't expect that Cao Cao would come to him now. However, Liu Zhang had no intention of raising an army to punish Cao Cao. He was just a little confused as to why Cao Cao came to Yizhou at this time.

However, when he saw Dian Wei beside Cao Cao, he understood, because Dian Wei standing beside him was so special. Dian Wei just stood there quietly, as if he had become the center of the world. Everything around him seemed to be revolving around Dian Wei, as if it existed for Dian Wei.

This strange feeling made Liu Zhang instantly connect Dian Wei and the words "legendary general" in his mind. Although he had never seen a legendary general before, Liu Zhang's intuition told him that this should be a legendary general. Otherwise, what else could be worthy of the title of legendary general.

"Brother Meng De, I didn't know you were coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I hope you can forgive me."

After clearly realizing the gap between himself and Cao Cao, Liu Zhang became more wary of Cao Cao. After all, Cao Cao had long known the method of promoting military generals, but had kept it from him. His purpose of coming here now was naturally to use Meng Huo's name to improve the level of his generals in the future, or in other words, to subdue Meng Huo.

As for a fight with himself, Liu Zhang didn't even think about it. He had never seen the power of the legendary general, so naturally he didn't think that Cao Cao could defeat him with only Dian Wei, Cao Zhang and 5,000 cavalry.

After seeing Liu Zhang, who was still enthusiastic towards him in words but was distancing himself from him in actions, Cao Cao naturally understood what was going on. He turned to look at Zhang Ren with a chill in his eyes.
