Chapter 500: The Strategy of Alienation, the Skills of Legendary Generals

Cao Cao ignored the two parties who were already fighting together, but walked to Liu Xie, put his hand on Liu Xie's shoulder without any scruples, and walked towards the palace arm in arm.

After walking a certain distance, Cao Cao and Liu Xie turned around and saw that more than a thousand imperial guards and two hundred cavalry were already fighting together behind them.

However, the battle situation was somewhat different from what Liu Xie had expected. He originally thought that even if the Royal Forest Army was not as good as Cao Cao's cavalry, they would not be defeated too badly. Only after Liu Xie saw the situation on the battlefield did he realize that he had just How ridiculous the idea is.

On the battlefield, the difference in numbers between the two sides was huge, a full seven times difference in numbers. However, on the battlefield, it was as if Cao Cao's men had seven times as many people as the Royal Guards.

The battle has only begun for more than a hundred breaths. In such a short period of time, logically speaking, there should be no changes. However, as the battlefield, the gate of the palace is already bleeding like a river at this moment. More than a thousand imperial guards are standing there. In front of those two hundred fine knights, they looked like children holding weapons.

Almost like chopping melons and vegetables, they had already eliminated nearly half of the Imperial Guards on the battlefield. The most important thing was that Cao Cao's two hundred cavalry didn't even bother to charge. They just waved their spears and neatly harvested those soldiers. The heads of the Guardsmen.

As for the three imperial forest lieutenants, except for one who was instantly killed by Deng Ai at the beginning of the battle, the remaining two did not escape the fate of being killed, and their heads were cut off by Deng Ai one after another.

The 1,500 Royal Guardsmen were unable to hold off the 200 cavalry for a quarter of an hour before being completely wiped out by the opponent.

"Your Majesty, tell me, why are you doing this? Now there is no one who can protect you. Hey, it would be great to keep them."

Cao Cao supported Liu Xie and looked at the 1,500 imperial guards who had been washed with blood with a smile. Liu Xie's hands were shaking slightly at this moment, because Cao Cao's 200 cavalry not only took him less than a quarter of an hour, but All the 1,500 imperial guardsmen that were finally won over were killed, and the 200 people on the other side did not suffer any damage at all. The only damage seemed to be that one man laughed so exaggeratedly that his jaw was dislocated.

"Prime Minister, you seem to have forgotten that I am the king of a country, and your subordinates are my subordinates!"

Liu Xie was filled with anger at this moment and could no longer endure Cao Cao's humiliation.

"Cao Cao! Either you kill me right here! Or, don't say these useless things!"

"Hahaha, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, tell me about you. If you had done this earlier, there would be no need for the quarrel between us, the monarch and his ministers, to reach this level."

Not only was Cao Cao not angry at Liu Xie's anger, but he smiled and patted Liu Xie on the shoulder.

"Now that His Majesty has spoken out, we don't have to keep pretending. Can we talk about our relationship openly now?"

Liu Xie couldn't help but be stunned by Cao Cao's abnormal attitude. He was already prepared to be killed by Cao Cao, but Cao Cao's reaction told him that Cao Cao had no such plan.

"What's the relationship? How to talk about it?"

"Your Majesty, I know you have your own ideas. So many times before, you tried to inform Liu Bei and wanted to join forces with Liu Bei. I pretended to turn a blind eye to this and only gave Your Majesty some small punishments."

"A small punishment?"

Liu Xie sneered, but Cao Cao didn't care.

"Your Majesty, what do you hope for when you join forces with Liu Bei?"

"Of course I hope Lie Wang can help me take back the world from your hands!"

Liu Xie no longer tolerated it. It had reached this point and there was no point in hiding it anymore, so he said whatever he felt in his heart.

Cao Cao seemed to have expected Liu Xie's words, and he snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty, this world has always been yours. Haven't you always been the emperor of the Han Dynasty? Why do you need Liu Bei to take it back for you? And why do you think Liu Bei will be more loyal than me?"

"King Lie is a clan member of the Han Dynasty and the twelfth grandson of Prince Jing of Zhongshan! He is of the blood of my royal family. What do you think, Prime Minister Cao?"

Cao Cao's tone was very gentle, and Liu Xie's tone also softened, and his title changed from Cao Cao back to Prime Minister Cao. Just now Liu Xie was running to die, but looking at Cao Cao, he didn't mean to kill him. , he will naturally not continue to seek death.

"A clan member of the Han Dynasty? Hahahaha, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I really don't know. Do you really not understand, or are you just pretending to be confused?"

"What's the meaning?"

Liu Xie said doubtfully.

Cao Cao was serious and serious in his words.

"I am not a member of the Han family, so I will not act in place of His Majesty, because then I will be condemned. But Liu Bei is different. He is a member of the Han family. Even if he replaces His Majesty, he will not Being accused by thousands of people, he can use the Chuanguo Jade Seal to make an imperial edict of surrender and replace His Majesty. When the time comes, with the Chuanguo Jade Seal in hand and the imperial edict, no one in the world will think of him. Regardless of whether he has seized the throne, everyone will feel that His Majesty is a generous emperor who is willing to abdicate to Liu Bei, but I can keep His Majesty on the throne. "

"Is Prime Minister Cao trying to drive a wedge between me and King Lie?"

"Hahaha, Your Majesty, do you still need me to provoke you? You just need to think about it carefully and you will understand."

"What are you thinking? I don't understand."

Liu Xie was not a fool. How could he not know what Cao Cao meant? But what he always wanted was to use Liu Bei's strength to drive Cao Cao out and regain his power, and then talk about Liu Bei. But Cao Cao's words forced him to Think more.

Looking at Liu Xie's thinking expression, Cao Cao knew that his words had an effect, and he smiled and continued.

"Your Majesty, why should you deceive yourself? If Liu Bei is really a good minister and has no disobedience, when your Majesty gave him the jade seal as the royal seal in the court, he would not have accepted it. He would definitely have accepted it. Refuse, but what about the reality? Not only did he accept it, but he also openly used the imperial seal as his royal seal. Isn’t this an act of disobedience?”

Just when Liu Xie was about to say something, Cao Cao spoke again.

"Your Majesty has lived in the palace for a long time, so he may not understand the current situation. Does your Majesty know who is the largest prince in the world today?"

"Oh, isn't the biggest prince, Prime Minister Cao, you?"

"Hahaha, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you think too highly of me. How can I be called the greatest prince? I'm not even worthy of carrying someone's shoes. In this world, Liu Zhang of Yizhou, Sun Jian of Yangzhou, Jiaozhou Taxi Xie and I are not as good as the greatest prince, does your Majesty know who it is?"

Having said this, how could Liu Xie not understand? It’s just that he can’t believe it now. He can’t believe that Liu Bei has developed to the point where he is now. Last time in the court, Liu Bei asked for orders for his subordinates. Xie also thought that after those people were named state shepherds, they would no longer be loyal to Liu Bei and would divide Liu Bei's rights. But now listening to Cao Cao, it seems that the world except Yizhou, Jiaozhou, Yangzhou, Silizhou and Except for Yuzhou, all other territories are already under Liu Bei's control.

Seeing Liu Xie become even more silent, Cao Cao knew that his persuasion had succeeded, so Cao Cao said the straw that broke the camel's back.

"Then Liu Bei has now controlled Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Liangzhou, Jingzhou, and Jizhou. In other words, Liu Bei is now the largest prince, and the four of us working together can hardly resist Liu Bei alone. , but Liu Bei has not attacked Yuzhou for a long time. What do you think of Liu Bei? He could easily capture Yuzhou and save you from me, but he never took action. What is he? I don’t need to say more about my thoughts.”

Cao Cao took his arm off Liu Xie's shoulders.

"Instead of inviting a wolf into the house and letting a person who is qualified to inherit the throne control your life and death, it is entirely up to Your Majesty to decide whether to let me, an outsider who is not qualified to inherit and who will always support you as the emperor, succeed."

Liu Xie became more and more silent. He kept silent and didn't say a word. Cao Cao knew that his plan was working. Cao Cao did not continue to increase the heat. It was enough at this level. Low temperature and slow cooking was the best. If he continued the torture, it would be too much.

Cao Cao ignored Liu Xie and waved to Deng Ai. Deng Ai trotted over from a distance and cupped his fists.

"Lord."

"Arrange a few people to take His Majesty back to His Majesty's palace. Prepare for Your Majesty according to His Majesty's previous living standards. In addition, the eunuchs and maids will also be restored to their original state."

"As you command!"

After Deng Ai took the order, he turned around and left without looking back. Cao Cao and Xun Yu also walked towards the Prime Minister's Mansion in their palace. The goal had been achieved. Next, they only had to wait for Liu Xie to figure it out. .

What Cao Cao said to Liu Xie was half true and half false, depending on what Liu Xie thought.

Compared with the battle in the palace, the fighting on the battlefield was even more brutal, especially the legendary battle between generals on the border between Yanzhou and Jingzhou.

Each of the four legendary generals is not only more powerful in combat, but also has top-notch defense and vitality, as well as physical strength. The difference in their strength is not big, and each of them has not yet used the skills they gained after being promoted to legendary generals. , only by using skills will the gap between them be revealed.

However, it was obvious that no one of the four was willing to use their skills first.

The four people on the battlefield have now changed their opponents. Zhang Fei, who was originally fighting against Sun Ce, has been fighting against Dian Wei, and Guan Yu is also fighting against Sun Ce.

But after all, Guan Yu has taken another step forward in the level of legendary generals. Even without using skills, his strength is still ahead of Dian Wei and Sun Ce. The substitution of Dian Wei and Sun Ce was also because they were unable to withstand Guan Yu and had to bear the pressure.

The Qinglong Yanyue Sword in Guan Yu's hand was like a green dragon descending from the earth. Every time he swung it, a green light flickered. Occasionally, with a blow, a green dragon's shadow would appear from the sky and leap into the sky. Sun Ce could be said to be under great pressure. He used all his strength to achieve this. Resist Guan Yu's attack.

Among their four legendary generals, Sun Ce, who was promoted last, is the weakest. Now he is facing the strongest Guan Yu. The pressure can be imagined. However, Sun Ce relied on his extraordinary strength and used the Overlord Spear to resist Guan Yu's attack. .

The battle between Dian Wei and Zhang Fei on the other side was more intense. The difference in strength between the two of them was very small.

Dian Wei's halberds danced like the wind, each swing carrying thunderous power. Zhang Fei's Zhangba Snake Spear was not to be outdone, every strike was like an angry sea wave, unstoppable. The two of them went back and forth, fighting inextricably, and for a while, neither side could do anything to the other.

After Sun Ce was repelled again, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Overlord!"

As Sun Ce roared, a towering phantom appeared behind him. It behaved exactly like Sun Ce, also holding a phantom Overlord Spear. Sun Ce's aura began to rise steadily.

"Guan Yu, take my shot!"

Sun Ce roared and swung out a spear. The Overlord Spear was originally larger than other spears. Now it was different from the sound of other spears breaking through the air. The Overlord Spear made a dull sound when it passed through, as if it did not tear the air, but smashed the air back.

Guan Yu raised his sword and slashed forward. The huge blade rolled forward and collided with Sun Ce's Overlord Spear. A huge wave of air instantly spread around with the two of them as the center.

This blow caused the dust on the battlefield to fly, and the collision of the two forces made the surrounding earth tremble.

Although Guan Yu was powerful, he was still somewhat powerless against Sun Ce, who had already activated the legendary general skills. After one blow, Guan Yu was knocked back several feet away, and only after the Green Dragon Crescent Blade was stationed could he stabilize his body.

When Sun Ce used this skill, his combat power instantly doubled, and his momentum was like a rainbow, as if the King of Western Chu was reborn.

Seeing this, Guan Yu no longer took it lightly. He took a deep breath, and the Green Dragon Crescent Blade rotated in his hand. Then a low dragon roar sounded, and Guan Yu used his own Spring and Autumn sword technique again. The first sword would gain a 1500% attack power bonus.

A green giant dragon phantom appeared and crashed into the phantom behind Sun Ce in the sky. Guan Yu's body had already chopped Sun Ce's Overlord Spear with the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

The two peerless forces collided again, and cracks seemed to appear in the sky.

Although Guan Yu had gained a huge improvement after using the Spring and Autumn Sword Skill, he was still not as good as Sun Ce who used his skills and was repelled again.

At the same time, the battle between Zhang Fei and Dian Wei also entered a white-hot stage. Zhang Fei's snake spear was like a living giant python, constantly shuttling between Dian Wei's double halberds, looking for flaws. Although Dian Wei was extremely powerful, he also felt unprecedented pressure in the face of Zhang Fei's fierce attack.

"Evil Come!"

After Dian Wei was almost injured by Zhang Fei again, he also roared loudly. Behind him, there was also a phantom holding a double halberd standing up, like an enlarged version of Dian Wei.

Zhang Fei sneered at this, his eyes full of contempt.

"Tiger Soul!"

Like Sun Ce and Dian Wei releasing skills, behind Zhang Fei, it seemed as if a tiger was roaring to the sky, and then a huge phantom also appeared behind Zhang Fei, holding a huge snake spear.
