The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 288 Cao Bao? Idiot? Cao Bao!

“Among aristocratic families, there is never a lack of people who want to shoulder the so-called glory of the aristocratic family.

They planned this mutiny with various intentions, just to spread the chaos to Lord Xuande."

"The participants in the mutiny only need to eliminate all the enemies in front of them, but the people behind the scenes have to consider more things...

Apart from the innocent people affected by the mutiny…” Li You said in a low voice as he looked at the fire in Xuzhou City.

Following Li You's gaze, Liu Bei also discovered the chaos hidden in the fire.

Liu Bei's face instantly turned gloomy. He really didn't expect that someone would attack ordinary people under such circumstances.

Instead of spending time plundering ordinary people’s things, it would be better to plunder the wealthy families in the city!
How much can ordinary people scrape out? The gains from robbing a wealthy man are more than what you get from plundering ordinary people in half of the city.

"Shuzhi..." Liu Bei was stopped by Yang Ji before he could finish his words.

"Lord Xuande, just let Shuzhi go. You don't have to go there yourself." Yang Ji said, pulling Liu Bei.

Liu Bei turned his head and looked at Yang Ji, "Zi Yu, do you think there is no way I can get out safely?"

"You are the lord. If you take action yourself, what do you need us, your subordinates, to do?" Yang Ji said softly.

"What do you want to say?" Liu Bei looked at Yang Ji calmly. He didn't think that Yang Ji would use such a lame excuse to stop him.

Commanders like Yang Ji, who also possess the corresponding combat capabilities, know best what kind of destructive power the refined internal energy can exert in such a chaotic battlefield.

What's more, now in Xuzhou city, due to the inaction of Cao Bao, a traitor of Xuzhou family, and even his reckless command that was a drag, the elite Danyang troops under Tao Qian were simply unable to exert their due organizational ability.

Correspondingly, the clouds originally distributed in the city were also made extremely scattered by Cao Bao's command, and had almost no suppressive power against powerful individuals.

Unless someone is very stubborn and insists on rushing into an area with dense clouds, he will be effectively suppressed by the clouds.

"Lord Xuande, do you think the private soldiers of the Xuzhou families are a match for the elite troops of Danyang under Tao Gongzu?" Yang Ji sighed and pointed out the root cause why the battle has not ended until now.

To put it bluntly, the reason why the 3,000 elite Danyang soldiers who were protecting Tao Qian have not ended the battle until now is because the incompetent Cao Bao is holding them back.

Even if the number of private soldiers from noble families besieging Tao Qian's residence reached tens of thousands, and even if the commanders of these tens of thousands of private soldiers had certain command capabilities, what could they do?
Private soldiers are private soldiers. Even if they are organized, they are still private soldiers. There is a substantial gap in combat effectiveness between them and regular troops with elite talents.

If the 3,000 elite Danyang soldiers who were protecting Tao Qian had not been held back by that idiot Cao Bao, they would have wiped out these private soldiers of the noble families long ago.

Moreover, even with Cao Bao holding back on command, Danyang's elite troops were able to push the front line back.

If Cao Bao hadn't been behind the scenes, Danyang's elite troops would have wiped out this group of private soldiers from aristocratic families long ago.

"You mean, let Shu Zhi get rid of Cao Bao?" Liu Bei raised his eyebrows.

"Alas, I didn't say that." Yang Ji quickly rejected Liu Bei's guess, and then said: "Cao Bao died at the hands of the private soldiers of the noble family. It has nothing to do with us."

"Hiss!" Liu Bei took a breath of cold air. He really didn't expect that Yang Ji actually intended to use this method to get rid of Cao Bao.

However, Liu Bei liked the method proposed by Yang Ji very much. It not only saved his hands from getting dirty, but also allowed the Xuzhou family to take the blame.

Hey, it seems like the Xuzhou family has already taken the blame for two things?

But it doesn't matter. The family is very wealthy anyway, so it's a good thing to take more blame. After all, it can help you lose weight.

There was another thing Liu Bei didn't expect. He didn't expect that Yang Ji's mind had become so... flexible that he actually wanted to get rid of Cao Bao in this situation.

However, as the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." This is what happens if you stay with people who have flexible bottom lines for a long time.

Thinking back to when I first met Yang Ji, there was no way this guy would play the trick of killing someone with a borrowed knife. At most, he would just go up and swing the knife at someone.

Liu Bei's eyes involuntarily slid towards Li You. If Li You were in charge, Cao Bao would probably die a more miserable death.

It was different from Yang Ji's death on the battlefield, Jia Xu's unclear death, and Guo Jia's death under public criticism.

If Li You were to do it, Cao Bao would probably regret coming into this world.

That is to say, Li You recently dyed his beard white and disguised himself as a kind old grandfather, so Liu Bei dared to take him out to visit various places.

Otherwise, those little brats hanging around in the village would definitely regard Li You as the big devil who would kidnap children in the eyes of their parents.

"..." The corners of Li You's mouth twitched. Could he say that Yang Ji's change was really not their fault?
Unfortunately, Li You cannot shift the blame. Most of the reason why Yang Ji has become as flexible as he is now is due to them.

After all, it's because their bottom line is so flexible. After spending a long time with people like Chen Xi and Yang Ji, who have relatively high moral bottom line, Li You feels that his own moral standards have improved a lot, not to mention Yang Ji and Chen Xi.

Although it is all an illusion, who says that pretended morality is not morality? As long as you can maintain it, you are a person with high moral standards.

"Shuzhi, insert your elite Danyang troops into the command line of the opposite Danyang, and then...

Then send Cao Bao to the swords of the private soldiers of the opposite family." Yang Ji turned his head and said to Chen Dao.

Chen Dao glanced at Liu Bei, and after seeing Liu Bei nod, he replied to Yang Ji: "Yes!"

After slightly reorganizing the formation, Chen Dao led his 900 elite Danyang soldiers directly into the battle line of Tao Qian's troops and the private army of the aristocratic families.

As for why it was nine hundred elite Danyang soldiers, it was of course to show our sincerity in taking over Xuzhou.

Weird.

The truth is that Chen Dao's legion talent can only cover more than 900 soldiers, so Yang Ji only brought out 900 elite Danyang soldiers.

If Chen Dao's legion talent could cover a complete legion like other generals with internal energy, Yang Ji would definitely bring out a complete Danyang legion.

As for the reactions of all parties in Xuzhou? To be honest, no one cares, except for the local gangs in Xuzhou. No one cares about this kind of thing.

Unfortunately, Chen Dao’s legion talent is very special, and for the time being he is unable to achieve full coverage of the legion like other generals whose internal energy can leave their bodies.

"It seems that Shuzhi has good vision." Yang Ji smiled as he looked at Chen Dao's back. "After all, he is a guy that you and Zichuan both like. He knows how to do such a simple thing." Li You shook his head and said.

Maybe Chen Dao’s political sense is not sensitive, but he definitely knows what he is doing and what he is doing in his capacity.

Nowadays, although Chen Dao is Yang Ji's deputy general, he is actually the captain of Liu Bei's personal guard. The status of deputy general is only to enable Chen Dao to smoothly command these 900 super elite Danyang soldiers.

"You guys." Liu Bei shook his head. Although he did not agree with this approach, it was something that had to be done.

The command between armies is very important. It is impossible for just one person to command an army, and the army must obey the orders of this unknown guy, right?

Chen Dao led his 900 elite Danyang troops and smoothly integrated into Tao Qian's Danyang battle line.

Moreover, in front of Cao Bao, Chen Dao merged the cooperation talents of Danyang under his command into the cooperation talents of Tao Qian Danyang.

However, Cao Bao, the commander of the elite Danyang troops under Tao Qian, did not react at all, not even the slightest perception.

The corners of Chen Dao's mouth couldn't stop twitching. No wonder Liu Bei, Yang Ji and others said that Cao Bao was a fool. He didn't even know that the elite talents of his own army had been invaded.

Even the soldiers on the front line sensed that something had entered into the talents of their elite troops, and they looked towards Chen Dao frequently, but Cao Bao still did not react at all.

"Hey, which unit are you from?" A Danyang centurion from Tao Qian's army asked Chen Dao vigilantly.

In order to alert Chen Dao and the others, the Danyang centurion even broadcast Chen Dao's existence through his talent, but Cao Bao still did not detect Chen Dao's existence.

"My dear brother, we are under the command of General Liu Xuande, the Eastern Guardian, and we are here to escort General Liu Xuande to meet Envoy Tao.

It's a pity that we encountered such an incident right after arriving in Xuzhou City." Chen Dao said, pointing at the war around him.

"Ah? Envoy Liu has entered the city?" The centurion of Tao Qian's army was confused. Why was the news different from what they had received?
Hearing what the centurion on the opposite side said, Chen Dao's eyes flashed. As Yang Ji and Li You said, their itinerary report had been secretly modified by someone.

"Don't you know? I remember we reported our itinerary to Envoy Tao every day?" Chen Dao said with a confused look on his face.

After hearing what Chen Dao said, the centurion named Tao might have thought of something and his face instantly turned gloomy.

[Okay, okay, these damn Xuzhou noble families are actually planning to destroy the future of our Tao family.] The centurion surnamed Tao seemed to have figured something out.

"May I ask where General Liu is? It would be bad if he was injured by these chaotic soldiers." The centurion named Tao thought of Liu Bei who had entered the city.

If something went wrong with Liu Bei in Xuzhou City, he would not dare to think about the future and would have to think about how to live in his next life.

"My lord, it's okay. There are two...three generals with internal energy leaving their bodies protecting us. They are watching us from a distance." Chen Dao pointed to where Liu Bei was.

The centurion named Tao used his perception ability from his cooperative talent to look in the direction Chen Dao pointed, and indeed saw a dozen people standing in the distance.

Afterwards, the centurion named Tao realized what Chen Dao had just said, and two or three generals whose internal energy left their bodies.

“……” Damn it, there are two or three people with internal energy leaving their bodies. They don’t even have one in Xuzhou, and they are just guards... The centurion surnamed Tao sniffed inexplicably.

Although the centurion surnamed Tao did not know whether there were any generals with the ability to leave their bodies with internal energy in other places in Xuzhou, he definitely did not have any under Tao Qian's command.

Not to mention first-rate generals who can leave their bodies with internal energy, there isn't even an ordinary general who can cultivate his internal energy into a powerful Qi.

Bitterness suddenly welled up in the heart of Centurion Tao, and he wiped his eyes hard.

Then he said to Chen Dao, "Did Envoy Liu send you here?"

Although the centurion surnamed Tao hoped that Chen Dao would come to help them, deep down he didn't want Chen Dao to come to help them.

After all, even with Cao Bao holding them back, they were able to suppress these rebellious armies composed of private soldiers from aristocratic families.

The centurion named Tao chose to wear sunglasses and let them solve this kind of thing among themselves.

"Oh, about this, our general said that the command post where General Cao Bao of your army is located is too far away from the front line, which has caused various command orders to be seriously delayed.

This is why you have not been able to push back these rabble, which are not even miscellaneous soldiers, until now.

So our general asked us to come and persuade General Cao to move the command platform to the front of the battle line to ensure the timeliness of the command order. "

Chen Dao explained to the centurion named Tao the purpose of his visit.

"Tsk, how could that coward who is afraid of death move the command platform to the front line..." Centurion Tao was silent.

"You... I know nothing." The centurion named Tao turned around and continued to fight with the private soldiers of the aristocratic families.

"Alas..." Chen Dao stretched out his hand and wanted to stop the centurion named Tao, but unfortunately this unknown centurion had already returned to the front line, and Chen Dao couldn't call him out of the battle.

Chen Dao looked back in the direction of Liu Bei, then cast his gaze to the rear of Tao Qian's troops, where Cao Bao was causing trouble for Tao Qian's troops in Danyang.

[Is it the conspiracy of General Yang and Li Changshi, or is it that Cao Bao is just as his name suggests, a fool, which makes his subordinates hate him so much?] Chen Dao couldn't tell.

[Forget it, these things can't be used against me anyway, so I should complete General Yang's mission first.] Chen Dao ordered his men to move towards Cao Bao.

[…Sure enough, the name suits the person.] Chen Dao had already approached Cao Bao, but the guards around Cao Bao still didn't find anything unusual.

Was it that Cao Bao was too stupid and turned his personal guards into stupid ones as well, or was it that his personal guards ignored Chen Dao's actions?

"Go, replace General Cao's personal guards with our people." Chen Dao ordered the elite Danyang troops under his command.

After a while, the personal guards around Cao Bao were knocked down by the elite Danyang troops who had arrived here.

Except for the few lackeys around Cao Bao, the rest of the personal guards had been replaced by the elite Danyang troops on their side by Chen Dao.

"Order that centurion team over there to stop charging forward. Don't you see that the battle line over there has been breached by the enemy? Quickly withdraw and provide support!"

Cao Bao was still trying hard to hold back Tao Qian's elite Danyang troops, and he didn't notice that the guards around him had turned into living people.
