The Ultimate Borer

Chapter 287 On the eve of the war

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

The sound of war drums rang out one after another, and tens of thousands of soldiers began to organize their equipment and march towards Jiangdong. The first to bear the brunt was Cao Cao, riding a white horse, holding a sword in his hand, and looking very vigorous.

Behind him, five chestnut horses were marching side by side, with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Ma Chao sitting on them respectively. In the middle of the team, there was a chariot pulled by three horses, and the person sitting on it was none other than Zhuge Liang. He seemed a little nervous, as even though the Spring Festival had just passed, he kept fanning himself with the fan in his hand.

"Strange, why did Lao Cao insist that we go to Jiangdong on horseback? Wouldn't it be faster to take a car?"

Zhang Fei could still maintain a serious appearance in the first few hours of departure, but once the time was too long, his true colors began to show.

"Second brother, just hold on a little longer. We are fighting for the Han people now, so we must maintain their image. Moreover, we are fighting for a legitimate reason. If we stay in the car, others will think we are afraid to show ourselves because we feel guilty!"

Guan Yu patiently explained to Zhang Fei.

"But, after riding for so long, my little dick hurts!"

Zhang Fei said this somewhat awkwardly. When everyone heard what he said, they suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in their lower abdomen and unconsciously adjusted their sitting posture.

"Brothers, please hold on a little longer!"

Cao Cao didn't turn around and spoke with his back to the Five Tiger Generals.

"We'll reach Jiangdong in at most an hour, and then we can change vehicles. Thank you all for your hard work, brothers. Because of the general, I must let him see us go into battle openly!"

"It's okay, President. We are all martial artists. This little difficulty is nothing to us!"

"That's right, it's just a matter of an inch or two. If my Ma family hadn't yet passed on the family lineage, I really want to cut it off with a knife and practice the "Sunflower Manual" at home!"

Ma Chao's words made everyone feel a chill in their crotch, so they had to clamp their legs together and continue on their way.

……

At the same time, Xiliang University also sent out the strongest lineup since its establishment, with Lu Bu, Han Sui and Zhang Xiu as the main generals, Zhang Ji, Guo Si and Li Jue as deputy generals, Fang Mu as the commander-in-chief, and Jiang Wei as the deputy commander. After leaving a total of 10,000 defensive troops in Xiliang University and the Eastern Han branch, the rest, whether they were the open combat forces or Fang Mu's own private troops, all rushed to the Yellow Turban University.

Compared to Cao Cao and his men's high profile, Fang Mu and his group were much more low-key. They were not fighting on behalf of the imperial court, so there was no need to make it known to everyone. All the troops were dispersed as much as possible, striving to reach the vicinity of Yellow Turban University as quickly as possible.

"My Lord, I'm so excited just thinking that our enemy is Zhang Jue, the world's best martial artist!"

"Yes, yes, to be able to fight against the world's best martial artist is probably the pursuit of every martial artist!"

"I just don't know, who is more powerful, Zhang Jiao, or the combined attack of the five of us and the lord!"

……

The five people were chattering about it. Facing the strongest opponent in history, they were not afraid at all. Instead, they were eager to try.

"By the way, my lord, why didn't Master Zuo Ci come with us? Isn't he planning to take action?"

Fang Mu shook his head. Zuo Ci's condition was not very good. He was sick - it was more like a backlash than an illness.

Although Fang Mu found the flaw in Sun Jian's "Fire Flame" and forcibly opened a crack in the illusion, he was ultimately unable to truly break it. The person who finally took action was actually Zuo Ci, but it seemed that because his level was too high, he was backlashed by the Silver Time and Space Heavenly Dao after taking action.

Seeing that he was not in good condition, Fang Mu chose to let him stay in his base camp. If he really couldn't win, he would let him help. After all, for a master like him, it is not impossible to attack across a distance.

"I really can't understand why Cao Cao would listen to the advice of that idiot Jiang Gan!"

What Li Jue was talking about was the tactical arrangement problem not long ago. Because there are many water areas and rivers in the Jiangdong area, their soldiers are also better at water battles.

Both the Western Liang Army and He Jin's troops were infantry soldiers who knew nothing about water battles. Many of them were even landlubbers and would get seasick as soon as they got on a boat, let alone fighting.

Therefore, when Jiang Gan learned that Cao Cao was about to send troops to Jiangdong, he immediately offered advice to Cao Cao and proposed a plan of "iron chain warships", saying that all the warships should be connected together with iron chains, so as to prevent the warships from swaying on the water and prevent the soldiers from seasickness.

What's even more terrible is that Cao Cao actually thought this plan was quite good and had even asked people to start preparing. If Ma Chao hadn't said it casually when they were chatting, Fang Mu would never have thought that Cao Cao would actually do such a thing.

So Fang Mu successfully made Cao Cao give up his plan with just one sentence, "What are the internal strength attributes of Jiangdong University?", and hung Jiang Gan at the gate of the Eastern Han branch for three days and three nights.

"If you're afraid of seasickness, you can ask Hua Tuo to develop a seasickness medicine!"

After hearing what Fang Mu said, Cao Cao suddenly realized the truth and quickly asked Hua Tuo to develop a seasickness medicine. After getting the formula, he put it into the factory to work on the assembly line. It only took three days to meet their medication needs.

……

"Wenji, don't sleep, open your eyes!"

At this time, in a dark room, Xiao Qiao and Cai Yan were handcuffed with two iron chains and hung on the beams.

It was obvious that the two had been imprisoned here for a long time. They looked pale and thin, and not in good condition - especially Cai Yan, who was almost fainting from hunger. Only Xiao Qiao was desperately calling her.

"I'm so hungry, so sleepy, and I want to sleep!"

Cai Yan's words seemed weak. She had been forced by her father to write since she was a child, and her own ambition was in literature. The only 5000 points of her martial arts index came from Xiao Qiao who taught her martial arts when they played together as children and let her practice it herself.

Therefore, Cai Yan's ability to endure hunger is completely inferior to Xiao Qiao, who has practiced breathing techniques, and she is almost unrecognizable from being thin!

"You can't sleep. If you do, you'll never..."

Xiao Qiao originally wanted to say "Once you fall asleep, you will never wake up again", but when she thought of her bad mouth, she stopped immediately.

"Xiao Qiao, there's something I want to tell you. I'm afraid that after I fall asleep, I'll never have the chance to tell you again!"
