Chapter 17: Three Dukes from Four Generations? I killed three dukes from four generations!
Broken the platform?

Robbed Yuan Shu?

The hatred on Liu Bei's face turned into surprise in an instant, and he looked back at Xiao Fang.

Naturally, he would be more than happy to give Yuan Shu a beating.

The original intention of disguising as a merchant ship and passing by was just to deceive Yuan Shu and avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

If we take action against Xu Tai, won't our whereabouts be exposed?

"After we pass Xutai City, even if Yuan Shu discovers our whereabouts and sends troops to pursue us, as long as we don't stop and linger, Yuan's army will never be able to catch up."

"We are going to Runan to recruit various Yellow Turbans. There will be thousands more mouths to feed, so we will naturally need more food and fodder."

"Xutai is where Yuan Shu transports grain and grass. We just took it. It can not only replenish grain and grass, but also help the lord vent his anger."

"It's the best of both worlds, why not do it?"

"Besides, I estimate that Yuan's army in Xutai has only a thousand men and is not well prepared. We can just catch them off guard."

Xiao Fang saw what Old Liu was thinking, and he slowly told him his motives and confidence for advocating the attack on Xutai.

Everyone suddenly understood.

Zhang Fei's fighting spirit was immediately aroused, he rolled up his sleeves and shouted:
"Brother, what Military Advisor Xiao said is correct. We were forced to leave Xuzhou, and it was all thanks to that bastard Yuan Shu!"

"I've been holding my breath for a long time. Just give the order and let me kill as many people as I can."

The accumulated anger of the crowd was ignited in an instant, and they all asked to fight.

Liu Bei no longer had any worries, and murderous intent burned in his eyes.

He drew his sword and pointed it at the platform:
"Pass on my order. All ships turn around and head for the north shore."

"I want to take them by surprise and capture the platform!"

The order was passed down and the flag was waved.

The ships originally heading west immediately changed direction and rushed towards the Xuyi ferry on the north bank.

North bank, ferry.

A young man in fine clothes was standing at the ferry terminal with his hands behind his back, supervising the soldiers to unload bags of food and fodder from the boat.

"General Chen, the 50,000 hu of grain and fodder are all here."

"I will go back to Shouchun first. Once my father's order arrives, you can transport these 50,000 hu of grain and grass from Sishui to Xiapi."

The young man in gorgeous clothes waved his hand and pointed into the distance, his words and demeanor exuding the nobility of a young man from an aristocratic family.

"I will obey my orders."

Chen bowed and accepted the order, then lowered his voice and said:

"My Lord, I really don't understand. Since Lu Bu has already captured Xia Pi, why does the Lord still need to send him food and grass as promised?"

The young man in gorgeous clothes was Yuan Shu’s eldest son Yuan Yao.

Previously, in order to deal with Liu Bei, Yuan Shu secretly promised Lu Bu 200,000 hu of grain and fodder, in order to lure him into betraying Liu Bei and launching a surprise attack on Xuzhou.

"Although Liu Bei lost Xuzhou, he still entrenched himself in Haixi and still had several thousand soldiers."

"If Lu Bu forces Liu Bei to surrender and uses him as a pawn, it will be disadvantageous to my father's future military operations in Xuzhou."

"Father, these 50,000 hu of grain and grass are just bait, in order to make Lu Bu kill Liu Bei."

"For only 50,000 hu of grain, Lu Bu was forced to cut off his own claws and teeth. Do you think this is a good deal?"

Yuan Yao stood with his hands behind his back, with a smug expression on his face, and pointed out the mystery.

Chen suddenly realized and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"So this is a plan that kills two birds with one stone. I am indeed stupid and can't figure out your foresight."

Yuan Yao put on a proud expression and sneered:

"My father's political tactics are unfathomable. Not only you, but even I find it difficult to grasp them."

Chen nodded repeatedly and complimented Yuan Shu again.

Yuan Yao looked towards Haixi, with a scornful expression on his lips:
"Liu Bei, Liu Bei, you are just a weaver of mats and a shoe seller, and you dare to think that you can seize Xuzhou and become equal to my father?"

"After my father failed to kill the eunuch Cao Aman, could he not kill you?"

After a burst of sneering, Yuan Yao turned around and prepared to board the boat.

at this time.

On the river, dozens of large and small boats suddenly rushed towards the ferry like a gust of wind.

A flag with the word "Liu" on it suddenly rose before it reached the shore.

The Yuan soldiers who were moving things by the river were all stunned by this sudden change.

Yuan Yao stopped and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

"Liu character flag?"

"Could it be Liu Bei's troops?" "That's impossible. Wasn't Liu Bei trapped in Haixi? How could he suddenly appear in Xutai?"

Yuan Yao looked as if he had seen a ghost, his eyes were filled with confusion and he stood there frozen for a moment without any reaction.

On the bow.

Xu Sheng had drawn his sword and pointed toward the shore:
"Bowmen, release your arrows and kill Yuan's army!"

Hundreds of archers on each ship immediately drew their bows and drew their arrows.

The sharp arrow soared into the air and whistled towards the shore like a locust.

In an instant.

Screams were heard everywhere and streams of blood flew into the air.

Yuan's soldiers were caught off guard and fell into chaos in an instant.

"It was Liu Bei's surprise attack!"

"Master, be careful!"

Chen was the first to react. He screamed, drew his sword and stepped forward to block the incoming arrow for Yuan Yao.

All the soldiers on both sides were shot by arrows and fell to the ground, with blood splattering all over Yuan Yao's face.

Young Master Yuan Yao was just awakened by the blood and his face turned pale with horror.

"No way, this doesn't make sense!"

"Liu Bei was clearly in Haixi, so why did he appear in Huaishui?"

Yuan Yao cried out in shock, his face full of astonishment.

Chen didn't care about anything else and shouted:
"Don't worry about it, young master, follow me and retreat to Xutai City!"

Yuan Yao suddenly came to his senses, his shock turned into fear, and he hurriedly jumped on his horse, trying to escape from the ferry.

It's too late.

The ships had crashed into the pier.

Zhang Fei jumped off the warship on his horse, holding the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand, and rushed towards the fleeing Yuan army first.

With his spear raised and slashed, Yuan's soldiers were killed in large numbers like wheat stalks.

From the very beginning, he locked his eyes on Yuan Yao, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and guessed that he must be an important figure in Yuan’s army.

So he cut a bloody path and headed straight for Yuan Yao.

"Sir, go ahead. I'll stop this thief!"

Chen didn't know where his confidence came from. He turned his horse around and waved his sword to stop Zhang Fei.

The knife style has not yet been released.

Zhang Fei thrust his spear forward, as fast as lightning and as powerful as thunder.

Before Chen could react, his chest was pierced and he fell off his horse with a scream.

"Lord chicken and dog!"

Zhang Fei cursed and continued to rush towards Yuan Yao without stopping.

When Yuan Yao saw Chen being killed in one move, he was so frightened that his face turned pale. In panic, he hastily drew his sword and tried to resist.

The sword has not yet been unsheathed.

Zhang Fei thrust his spear forward.

With a scream, half of Yuan Yao's arm was cut off, and he fell out like a kite with a broken string, falling heavily to the ground.

Zhang Fei reined in his horse, raised his bloody spear, and was about to chop off his head.

"I am Yuan Yao, and Yuan Gonglu is my father!"

"My Yuan family has three dukes for four generations. Whose general are you? How dare you kill me~~"

Yuan Yao endured the severe pain of his broken arm and roared at Zhang Fei in despair.

Zhang Fei was happy when he heard it.

Originally, he just wanted to kill a lot of people, rob Yuan Shu of his food and vent his anger.

Unexpectedly, a big pie fell from the sky and it happened to be Yuan Shu’s eldest son!

"Bullshit, I'm going to kill you, you three dukes from four generations!"

Zhang Fei roared with disdain, and swung his blood spear down mercilessly.

"Where is Liu Bei? I want to see Liu——"

Before he could utter the word "prepare", the blood spear had already swept past like lightning.

A human head rolled to the ground.
