Chapter 119: The Finale

Three days later, at Yuan Shao’s Grand Camp.

Rumors spread and drifted through the air. No one knew who started the trend, but after brewing for three days, the entire Yuan Camp was discussing that Xu You’s death was imminent.

Those who had been belittled by Xu You in the past wished for nothing more than for Yuan Shao to kill him.

But the Players knew very well that Xu You was likely to slip away.

That night, as the bright moon hung high in the sky.

Xu You rode alone, avoiding Yuan Shao’s Scouts around him, and gradually moved toward the direction of the Cao Camp at Guandu. However, the Players, who had long known where he was going, were waiting for him halfway.

“Xu Ziyuan, you actually dare to defect to the enemy.”

“Kill Xu You, he has turned traitor.”

“You all get out of the way, the Merit for his head is mine.”

From all four directions, front, back, left, and right, Players charged over. Xu You never imagined that so many people would know about the plan he had never told anyone.

Just as Xu You cracked his whip, trying to rush out of the encirclement, from the direction of the Cao Camp further away, shouts also rang out:

“Xu You, run quickly, we will handle these people.”

“Xu You, run away quickly!”

“Hurry, hurry, we can’t let Xu You be killed by the Players on the opposite side. Guo Jia’s mission to save him gives 10 points of Merit.”

“Kill the Yuan dogs, snatch Xu You!”

…

Because of one Xu You, the Players from both the Cao and Yuan sides started fighting each other again. But what was strange was that although the Cao Camp clearly wanted to save Xu You, they did not send any War Generals under their command.

“My Lord, raiding Wuchao is a trivial matter, why go personally?” In the Central Army of the Cao Camp, watching Cao Cao put on leather armor and hold sharp weapons, Guo Jia gave a low cough and shook his head to advise.

“This battle will determine the victory or defeat at Guandu, how can it be called a trivial matter?”

A middle-aged man of not tall stature but with a dignified face sat on the horse, a strange gleam flashing across his face: “Besides, Fengxiao has played the entire game of chess to the final move. If I do not go to place the piece, wouldn’t it be a pity?”

“This is not the merit of Jia alone. The surprise brought by Brother Guorang is far more important than my plans.” Guo Jia covered his mouth and spoke with a low cough, then looked at Tian Yu beside him: “Guorang, when you go this time, can you pass a message to that person for me? I am waiting for him to come back and drink wine.”

“Alright, I will definitely deliver it.” Tian Yu was also amused upon hearing this, knowing who Guo Jia was referring to.

As Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, and others from the Front Camp led the Cavalry out of the camp, Cao Cao and Tian Yu did not delay any longer and immediately reined in their horses to follow. Taking advantage of the fact that Yuan Shao’s attention would be distracted by the matter of Xu You, the Cao Army happened to rush to attack Wuchao.

In this lifetime, whether Xu You lived or died, he had made a contribution to the Cao Camp.

…

Guandu!

This was a good place nestled by mountains and rivers.

Yuan Shao stored a large amount of military grain here, so his vision was actually not bad. But he absolutely should not have let Chunyu Qiong defend it. Although this guy had the talent of a Great General, it was difficult for him to stand alone.

The most important reason was that he lacked self-discipline.

Alcohol was forbidden in the army, but Chunyu Qiong liked to drink a little. Coincidentally, the wine jar placed in front of him at this moment was brought by Mo Xiaobai from Daming Village.

Clutching the rare fine wine, Chunyu Qiong sent Sui Yuanjin and Qian Zhao, the two Vice Generals, out to patrol. He prepared to enjoy it alone. Such a stingy character directly pushed him into the Abyss of death.

After drinking a small half of the jar of fine wine, Chunyu Qiong was already groggy. Moments later, a Soldier walked over to add wine and food for him. Chunyu Qiong had no guard up at all and was still foolishly shouting “Good wine,” “Good wine.”

Until a bright knife was forced right in front of his eyes, Chunyu Qiong had a trace of alertness. But this bit of alertness was completely useless against his drunken brain.

It was not until his neck suddenly hurt that Chunyu Qiong woke up in shock and widened his eyes. But it was too late to open his eyes now. Before he could cry out, his entire head was cut off by the Soldier with a knife.

Quietly finishing everything, the Soldier did not linger at all. He wrapped up Chunyu Qiong’s head and retreated toward the back of the large tent.

The so-called Great General of the Yuan Family died so miserably at the hands of a Xiaoshi Soldier.

At the same time, on the only dry mountain road at Wuchao, Mo Xiaobai and Xianyu Fu finally arrived with the You Province Troops and Horses.

There were several inspections along the way, but they were all easily shouted down by Xianyu Fu.

However, while this move worked on the road, it was not so effective at Wuchao. Sui Yuanjin, who had been sent out to patrol, was already full of depression. When he saw Xianyu Fu, he did not speak kindly: “Show me My Lord’s order. Without an order, how do I know what you are here for!”

These words were originally spoken in anger, but to Mo Xiaobai’s ears, they sounded somewhat nervous.

Fortunately, Xianyu Fu was not nervous. He looked at Qian Zhao beside Sui Yuanjin, handed over the token, and said with a laugh: “Brother Zijing, it has been many years since we parted in You Province. We haven’t seen each other for a long time, have we?”

Although Qian Zhao found it strange that Xianyu Fu suddenly came to Wuchao, he had some friendship with Xianyu Fu when he was in You Province, so he nodded immediately: “Since My Lord sent you here, then let us go up together.”

Sui Yuanjin, who was at the side, did not really want to inspect. He glanced at the token twice, then began to curse and scold Chunyu Qiong. As the Main General, that guy only knew how to enjoy himself, leaving all the dirty and tiring work to him and Qian Zhao.

Xianyu Fu did not reply. He led the Troops and Horses into the camp on his own. Mo Xiaobai followed behind, wondering in his heart whether his jar of fine wine had been ruined by Chunyu Qiong.

The group dismounted and moved forward. However, just as the You Province Troops and Horses had all entered the camp, terrified shouts came from the camp above on the mountain top: “General Chunyu, General Chunyu’s head is gone!”

“General Chunyu is dead!”

“Someone killed General Chunyu!”

Successive shouts rang out throughout the Wuchao Grain Camp at this moment.

Mo Xiaobai and Xianyu Fu looked at each other, and excitement revealed in their eyes.

Chunyu Qiong died at just the right time!

However, while Mo Xiaobai could get excited, Qian Zhao and Sui Yuanjin could not smile.

Chunyu Qiong was dead?

The two of them had only been down the mountain for a while, how could he be dead?

Qian Zhao turned around abruptly at this moment. Before he could open his mouth to question Xianyu Fu why he had really come, Li Guang had already drawn his knife and stepped forward.

Even the Little Conqueror of Jiangdong could not defeat Li Guang, so how could a second-rate War General of You Province like Qian Zhao be an opponent of the Flying General? In his panic, Qian Zhao did not even have time to draw his weapon before Li Guang chopped off his head with a single strike.

Fresh blood sprayed out, splashing all over Sui Yuanjin.

“You, you all!”

Sui Yuanjin only realized it now and stared wide-eyed at Mo Xiaobai, but Xianyu Fu had already pounced on him. With a few slashes, he finished off this Yuan Army Lieutenant General who had little skill but loved to complain.

“Kill!”

The Main General and the Vice Generals were all dead. In Mo Xiaobai’s eyes, Wuchao had now become an undefended treasure trove.

Just at this moment, Cavalry came riding from the bottom of the mountain.

The newcomer saw the chaos on the mountain, and the excitement in his eyes was no less than Mo Xiaobai’s: “All Generals listen to the order, follow me to trample through Wuchao and burn Yuan Shao’s military grain.”

With three thousand You Province Soldiers, plus five thousand Elite Soldiers led by Cao Cao personally, and with Great Generals like Li Guang, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang leading them, attacking a Wuchao which was in a state of panic was simply too easy.

Once the two armies joined forces, they charged up the mountain top like splitting bamboo. The Yuan Army, having lost its command, could only scurry away like rats. They had no other choice but to run.

Wuchao was finished!
