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

Chapter 411: Sun Ce Appears

In the end, Chen Dao still led the Bai Li soldiers to catch up. What if they really caught up? After all, every soldier under Li Yan's command was injured, and there were few lucky ones who were not injured. If they caught up, it would also reduce some of the pressure on the subsequent battle.

However, Chen Dao still underestimated Li Yan's willpower. He just held on to his legion talent until he entered the army formation. No wonder Li Yan was able to fight Chen Dao and Cheng Yu in a short period of time with his newly broken strength. With such a willpower, it was not surprising that Li Yan fought like this with Chen Dao and Cheng Yu.

Yang Ji found a place on the south bank of the Yangtze River to set up camp, far away from Zhou Yu's camp. Between the two camps was a wide plain area, which was where the next battlefield would be located.

Cheng Yu took off his bloodstained armor, changed into casual clothes, and then returned to his loyal Cao Cao. At this time, Cao Cao was following Yang Ji and assisting him, commanding the army to set up camp. This scene seemed a bit abstract.

However, for Cao Cao, the person involved, whether this scene is abstract or not is other people's business. What he cares about is whether he can meet Yang Ji's requirements. He had to negotiate with Yang Ji for a long time before getting this job from Yang Ji. If he does a good job, he will have an extra strong proof when he goes to find Liu Bei in the future.

Everything Cao Cao did was to be hegemonic, but now no matter how he is, he can only live under Liu Bei's kingly way. Everything can only be done under the rules newly established by Chen Xi, Liu Bei and Yang Ji. This is the price that the loser should bear.

After arriving beside Cao Cao, Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao with a rather strange look. He was right about Cao Cao. Even though Cao Cao was being driven by others at this time, it was difficult to conceal his unscrupulous side. Otherwise, how did Cao Cao get the task of commanding the army to set up camp from Yang Ji?
Suddenly, Cheng Yu felt that it was not that Cao Cao was incapable of seeking common ground while reserving differences. It was just that Cao Cao was no longer the one seeking common ground, but the one being differed by others.

Or you can put it the other way around. After all, letting Cao Cao seek common ground between himself and Liu Bei, and then tolerating the differences between Liu Bei and himself, is also an explanation, isn't it?
Cheng Yu shook his head and threw away the strange idea in his mind. This was the lord he recognized, so he couldn't arrange it like this. But if I think about it like this occasionally, it seems to be quite exciting. How about finding a few people to expand my thinking together in the future? ——Such an idea suddenly flashed through Cheng Yu's smart mind, and it quickly took root and could not be exorcised.

"Zhongde, are you injured?" Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu, who had been daydreaming since he came here, with some surprise. For some reason, after Cheng Yu came to his side, Cao Cao felt that someone was plotting against him behind his back. After looking around for no one, Cao Cao finally set his sights on Cheng Yu.

After all, Yang Ji had no interest in making up stories about him behind his back. Even if he wanted to, Yang Ji would do it in front of him. Chen Qun was discussing something with Yang Ji at this time, so he probably didn't have time to make up stories about him. What's more, Chen Qun was a gentleman, so how could he make up stories about others behind their backs? He had to make up stories in front of others.

After counting, it seems that the only one left is Cheng Yu in front of him. After all, at his level, the only person who can arouse his impulse seems to be someone of the same level who is plotting behind the scenes.

Moreover, after Cheng Yu came to Cao Cao, the look in his eyes when he looked at Cao Cao was a little strange, which made it hard for Cao Cao not to become suspicious. Otherwise, wouldn't his title of the suspicious little prince be in vain?

It's not that he doubted that Cheng Yu had any bad intentions towards him. After all, among so many civil and military officials, only Cheng Yu could be said to be of the same ilk as him. Xi Zhicai was a fellow traveler, and there was a big difference between him and someone like Cheng Yu who could do bad things together.

As for the others, Cao Cao was not sure why they gathered under his command and were at his service. However, after thinking about it, apart from the benefits, there seemed to be nothing worth those people joining him.

The situation on Liu Bei's side is fundamentally different from the situation here. The senior executives who united around Liu Bei basically gathered around Liu Bei because of their ideals, or in other words, Liu Bei's original team basically gathered around Liu Bei because of their ideals.

Although ideals will eventually turn into interests, ideals will change with the changes in the surrounding environment and human beings themselves, until ideals become nothingness. Although interests will also undergo countless changes, they will ultimately be interests.

"With Li Yan's soft sword skills, how could he possibly hurt my well-tempered body!" Cheng Yu raised his hand and punched his seemingly not-so-protruding chest. When he raised his hand to punch his chest and rolled up his sleeves, Cao Cao saw the strong muscles on Cheng Yu's arms.

The muffled sound of Cheng Yu's fist hitting his chest made Cao Cao's mouth twitch. Although he had known for a long time that Cheng Yu was a muscular freak, he still felt very divided every time he saw him. Why would Cheng Yu, a wise man with awakened spiritual talent, think of training his physique to this level?

"Ah? Oh, well, I'm glad you're okay." Cao Cao came back to his senses and said perfunctorily. He began to doubt whether practicing internal qigong was the right thing to do.

Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao with a guilty conscience. Seeing Cao Cao's current performance, could it be that he sensed his arrangement behind the scenes? After all, Cao Cao had awakened the monarch's talent. In addition to those skills, there would always be some mysterious and mysterious things.

"Hey, brother Zhongde is back. How did you feel about the battle with Li Yan?" After talking to Chen Qun, Yang Ji walked over and asked Cheng Yu.

"Except for the last arrow attack, Li Zhengfang's physique and internal energy are just at a normal level." Cheng Yu curled his lips. He thought that Li Yan, who was at the critical point of both internal energy and mental strength, would be very powerful, but it turned out that he was not even as good as Li Tiao.

It is obvious that Cheng Yu did not know the peculiarities of Li Tiao, otherwise he would not have compared Li Tiao with Li Yan. If things go wrong, even if Cheng Yu made a breakthrough, he would not be able to beat Li Tiao.

“Being able to reach the critical point of mental power shows that he has spent a considerable amount of energy on it.” Yang Ji said with a smile. Everyone has the same amount of time. Li Yan has spent his time on mental power, so he has consumed less energy on martial arts.

"If Li Zhengfang had made the right decision earlier, his strength would not have remained so balanced until now." Cao Cao commented sharply on Li Yan. Balance often means only one thing, that is, there is no outstanding point.

"Then, Boss Cao, how long are you going to wait before you make the right decision?" Yang Ji looked at Cao Cao. This guy asked him for the task of building a large camp, but he ended up chatting with people here. Isn't this dereliction of duty?

"Ah?" Cao Cao was a little confused at first. What choice did Yang Ji want him to make?
"..." Cao Cao suddenly realized what Yang Ji was saying, and subconsciously said to Yang Ji: "I can make a decision now." After that, he left here directly. It was so miserable that he was discovered by the big boss while slacking off. ...

In a daze, Zhou Yu heard a harsh voice saying to him: "Gongjin, Jiangdong has already fallen, even Shouchun has been captured by us, and even Sun Bofu has been captured by us. Do you really want to continue to resist?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yu suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up from the bed. Then he heard a voice that was engraved in his soul: "Gongjin, you finally woke up~" It could be heard that the voice was very excited, and even had a bit of a crying tone.

In confusion, Zhou Yu felt someone holding his hand. He didn't know why, but he should have pushed away the guy who was holding him. However, he didn't have that idea. Instead, he naturally held the guy's hand with his backhand.

"Bofu?" Zhou Yu realized who this person was and called out a name in a very hoarse voice. Zhou Yu's vision finally focused and he saw Sun Ce with slightly red eyes.

"Gongjin, it's me." Although Zhou Yu's voice was very low, Sun Ce still heard Zhou Yu's call and immediately gave his response.

“……” Looking at Sun Ce, Zhou Yu moved his mouth and wanted to speak, but nothing came out, as if something was blocking his throat.

At the same time, Zhou Yu also felt bursts of pain in his spiritual sea. That was caused by the injection of new spiritual power into his spiritual sea after his spiritual power was exhausted. It seemed that he could not use his spiritual power for a while, otherwise it would cause irreversible damage to his spiritual sea.

Zhou Yu really wanted to ask Sun Ce to give him a bowl of water to moisten his throat, but unfortunately, he couldn't utter a word. Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu with his mouth open but unable to speak, and he was anxious. He didn't even think that Zhou Yu wanted to drink water. It seemed that the tacit understanding between him and Zhou Yu was cultivated in vain.

"My lord, this is the water the commander-in-chief ordered." Fortunately, there was a military doctor in Zhou Yu's tent who could hear what Zhou Yu had to say, otherwise Zhou Yu would have had to drag his aching head to find water to drink.

"Ah?" Sun Ce was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening to Zhou Yu. He quickly took the bowl handed to him by the military doctor and put it to Zhou Yu's mouth, as if he wanted to force the liquid to flow directly into Zhou Yu's mouth.

Unfortunately, Zhou Yu did not want to be so tough with Sun Ce. He reached out and snatched the bowl from Sun Ce's hand, then raised his head and drank all the water in the bowl. He took the kettle handed to him by the military doctor and blew into the mouth of the kettle. He drank all the water in the kettle in a few gulps, leaving Sun Ce staring at Zhou Yu who was raising his head and blowing into the kettle.

"Huh - I'm finally alive." Zhou Yu let out a long sigh. Although his voice was still hoarse, he could finally speak.

"How many days have it been since I fell into a coma?" Zhou Yu ignored Sun Ce who was right in front of him, but turned to ask the military doctor. He no longer wanted to ask why Sun Ce appeared here. It was just that. The bond between him and Sun Ce could not be blocked by space.

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, it has been three days since you over-consumed your mental energy." The military doctor answered respectfully, ignoring Sun Ce's glare. The military doctor now finally understood what those people meant by their expressions when they talked about their lord Sun Ce. It was a pity that the commander-in-chief had persisted until now without laying a hand on his lord.

"It's been three days..." Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, handed the kettle to the military doctor, and motioned him to get another kettle of water. He didn't know why he was still very thirsty.

"How's the situation on Gongyi's side?" Zhou Yu did not ask Sun Ce about the situation of the army first, but asked about the Jiangxia navy first. With Li Tong and others, they should be able to stop Yang Ji's attack. Even Yang Ji would have to rest after forcing his way across the river before he could continue to attack Zhou Yu's army.

After all, the Jiangnan area is separated from Yang Ji's camp by the Yangtze River. Moreover, Yang Ji brought all 60,000 troops across the river, which required a lot of food and grass. Did Yang Ji's army really bring enough food and grass when crossing the river? Zhou Yu was very skeptical about this.

However, the navy is very worrying. Jiang Qin is no match for Gan Ning. The Jiangxia navy may not be afraid of the Qingzhou fleet due to the foundation accumulated over the past hundred years, but there is a gap between the commanders of the two armies, and the foundation of the Jiangxia navy cannot fill the gap between the commanders.

"Alas." Sun Ce sighed and said, "Gong Yi was seriously injured by Gan Ning. If it weren't for the guards around him who tried their best to rescue him, he probably wouldn't have come back this time. Two-thirds of the Jiangxia navy's warships were sunk, and the remaining warships also suffered varying degrees of damage. The Jiangxia navy is seriously damaged."

"Where are the sailors?" Zhou Yu was silent for a long time and asked in his still hoarse voice. Two-thirds of the warships were sunk, and it was unknown how many sailors on them could survive.

"Some were captured by the Qingzhou fleet, some were rescued by our people, and some swam back by themselves, and the rest..." Sun Ce didn't say anything more about the situation, but Zhou Yu already understood it.

The military doctor quietly walked out of Zhou Yu's tent. It was not suitable for him to stay here any longer. And since Zhou Yu had already woken up, as long as he did not continue to use his mental power for a while, there would basically be no problem.

After a long time, Zhou Yu stretched out his hand and pressed his temple, sighed deeply, and continued to ask Sun Ce: "What's the situation outside now?" After the precedent of the Jiangxia navy, Zhou Yu was most afraid that the army would also suffer heavy losses.

"Although the army's losses are a bit heavy, the basic combat effectiveness can still be guaranteed." Sun Ce shook his head and said, but what he didn't tell Zhou Yu was that if he hadn't arrived in time, the battle would probably have been won by Yang Ji.
