Three Kingdoms: Peak Summons

Chapter 856 Let’s retreat and keep filial piety

Chapter 854: Retreat to remain filial piety

Li Cunxiao felt uneasy and asked with a dry smile: "My lord, I haven't caused any trouble recently. Why are you looking at me like this?"

Hearing what Li Cunxiao said, Qin Hao was very angry. This guy was really self-aware and knew that he had caused a lot of trouble for himself.

Seeing his master smile, Li Cunxiao also breathed a sigh of relief, but Qin Hao glared at him and said calmly: "You didn't cause any trouble? You have caused a huge disaster this time."

 “A catastrophic disaster?”

Li Cunxiao opened his mouth and said with a slight stutter: "No, that's not the case, is it? Why doesn't the general have no impression at all?"

 “I’ll give you some hints, Cunxiao, do you think the crime of deceiving the emperor is a serious disaster?”

Li Cunxiao's pupils shrank, his tone softened, and he smiled bitterly: "My lord, this should be regarded as a well-intentioned concealment, can't it be regarded as bullying the emperor?"

 “Bold.”

Qin Hao slammed the table angrily and shouted: "Are you still reasonable? If I hadn't discovered the clue, how long would you have kept it secret from me?"

Li Cunxiao lowered his head and said weakly: "It won't take long before the fight against Dong is over..."

Li Cunxiao was about to raise his head when he noticed a look that could kill someone. He was so frightened that he did not dare to say another word.

Seeing this, Qin Hao let out a long breath and said with a helpless face: "The fusion of dual martial arts is such a dangerous thing. If you are not careful, you will become a useless person. But it is good for you, Li Cunxiao, not to retreat at such an important moment, but instead Go fight Li Yuanba, don’t you want to live?”

 Qin Hao didn't know it at first, but later he sensed that the internal energy fluctuations in Li Cunxiao's body were much purer than before, which was obviously a precursor to the imminent fusion of the two techniques.

Li Cunxiao also sighed. The lord finally knew it, and he was thinking that if he went to the battlefield, it might not be that easy.

Li Cunxiao raised his head, looked directly into Qin Hao's eyes, and said seriously: "My lord, Li Yuanba has become more terrifying than before. Except for the last general, no one in the coalition can save his life under his hammer. If the last general doesn't go If we block him, our army will probably suffer a lot of casualties, so..."

These words can be said to be crazy and friendless, and they simply regard the more than 500,000 coalition troops as nothing. However, when Li Cunxiao said it from his mouth, there was no sense of peacekeeping at all. After all, he is indeed the strongest among the more than 500,000 coalition troops. .

However, before Li Cunxiao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qin Hao with a wave of his hand.

“So you put all the responsibilities on your shoulders, knowing that your breakthrough is imminent, but you ignore your own safety and fight against Li Yuanba?”

Li Cunxiao was stunned and said quickly: "My lord, the last general is not..."

Qin Hao put his hands on Li Cunxiao's shoulders, stared into his eyes, and said softly: "Cunxiao, I know that you are thinking about me, my lord, but you must know that you are only a human being, not a god. If you have any responsibilities, It's your responsibility, so why do you need me as your lord?"

Hearing this, Li Cunxiao still didn't know that the master did not really blame him, but was still thinking about him wholeheartedly. He was extremely moved in his heart and his eyes were slightly red.

“My lord, you will go alone from the end. This is the minimum price to pay for blocking Li Yuanba. Otherwise...”

"No, this is the biggest price for me, because it may cause me to lose my favorite general. Even if it is a slight possibility, I still cannot accept it."

Li Cunxiao suppressed the emotion in his heart and said with a wry smile: "My lord, the general knows what he is doing. The integration of the techniques is on the right track. Everything will be fine. Although Li Yuanba is stronger than the general, it is not that easy to kill me."

"Shit, if you had been honest, you wouldn't have done such a stupid thing." Qin Hao scolded him angrily, and then comforted him: "After you break through, defeat Li Yuanba and become the world's No. 1 One, wouldn’t it be better?”

“But I don’t know how long I will have to stay in seclusion. If it delays my lord’s great cause...”

Qin Hao patted Li Cunxiao on the shoulder and said seriously: "Cunxiao, I have my own way to deal with Li Yuanba. Your biggest task now is to ensure your own safety, so as to break through to a higher realm and become stronger than before until the fight is over. Invincible in the world, he climbed to the top of the martial arts list."

"But…"

Li Cunxiao still wanted to fight for it, but Qin Hao didn't even give him a chance to speak, and directly ordered: "Li Cunxiao listens to the order."

Li Cunxiao was stunned for a moment, then knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said, "The end will be here."

"You don't need to participate in the next battle. I'm ordering you to retreat immediately. When will you break through and return to the army? Do you understand?"

Li Cunxiao took a deep breath and shouted: "No."

Qin Hao finally showed a smile on his face and said with a faint smile: "Cunxiao, the battle between the coalition army and the Liang army will not end so soon. I am waiting for you to come out and defeat Li Yuanba."

“The general will definitely live up to his lord’s trust.”

Under Qin Hao's forced military order, Li Cunxiao stayed in Suanzao Seclusion to break through. As for when he would come out of seclusion, let alone Qin Hao, even he himself didn't know. It might be one month or two months. , but what is certain is that Li Cunxiao will definitely become stronger after coming out of seclusion.

 At that time, the battle for the first place in the world will start again between the two.

The next day, after Qin Hao led all the princes to hold a swearing-in ceremony, the allied forces of the Kwantung princes were officially divided into three. Qin Hao, Yuan Shao, and Sun Jian each led one section and went to Hulao and Xuanyuan Guangcheng respectively.

 The battle against Dong officially started.

The Eastern Route Army had nearly 330,000 troops, but Qin Hao did not take all the troops away, but only took 200,000 troops to Hulao Pass.

 The reason why Qin Hao left nearly 130,000 troops in Suanzao actually had two purposes.

 First, even if the entire army is brought over, it will not be able to deploy at all. Twenty armies are enough to attack the city.

 The second is to frighten Mengjin's Yang Lin and let him know that the coalition forces are sufficient. Once Mengjin's forces are slightly reduced, the coalition forces will directly kill him.

The 200,000-strong army marched with great momentum. The marching team was like a long dragon, and it was impossible to see the end of the flags.

Three days later, the coalition forces finally arrived at Hulao one after another. After Qin Hao took care of setting up camp, he immediately brought all the princes to visit the city.

The last time Qin Hao came to Hulao Pass, it was when Xiang Yu launched a prisoner-of-war riot and was on his way back eastward.

At that time, the Yellow Turban prisoners of war in the Sizhou prisoner-of-war camp rioted, and under the leadership of Xiang Yu, they successively broke through the Dagu and Hulao passes. Li Shimin came to encircle and suppress them on Dong Zhuo's order. In order to save his mother, Qin Hao led three thousand elite cavalry northward and conquered Come to help.

At that time, Qin Hao and Li Shimin were comrades-in-arms. After the war, Li Shimin gave Qin Hao many Xiliang war horses as a thank you. However, this time the two were life and death enemies. At the same time, their identities and status had also undergone great changes. Even the general trend of the world It's all between the two of them.
