Chapter 86.2

Cao Xu heard Wei Shaos army had won the battle of Shangdang not long ago. But, he never expected he would show up here in person. Wei Shaos reputation was well-known, and Lei Yan said they had come with troops. Cao Xu felt scared and realized he only had 1,000 men. He might not be an opponent at all if they fought. It would be better to retreat first and report the news about Wei Shao leading his troops south to his Lord as soon as possible.

Cao Xu decided to retreat. After he withdrew a few feet away, he suddenly climbed on his horse and sped off in the direction of Xiaodi.

Wei Shaos expression was condensed and cold. He raised his arm, and a large bow was handed to him by his attendant. He drew his arrow, aiming at the back of the horse, and suddenly released the bowstring. Clang, arrow chased the wind and deeply nailed into the back of Cao Xus heart.

Cao Xu fell from his horse and landed dead.

I am Wei Shao of Youzhou! I am leading the army here! Xue Tai deserved punishment! All of you soldiers, remove your swords and weapons, and I will spare your lives!Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

Wei Shao withdrew his bow and raised his voice against the wind, sending word-by-word.

Everyone in Xue Tais army knew the name of Wei Shao in the north. They were surprised to see him suddenly appearing here, awe-inspiring, imposing, and no one dared to move forward. Zhang Biao and Cao Xu, one was wounded, and one was dead. Without a leader, their hearts and minds become confused. Many of these soldiers were captured and forced to serve in the army. Not everyone was vicious, and they were scared by Wei Shaos deafening roar. Their swords fell to the ground and ran in all directions. In an instant, only civilian people remained. It was unknown which one led the way. They suddenly kneeled towards Wei Shao and chanted marquis great kindness, and countless people cried.

Wei Shao down the stone platform and let the people fill and strengthen the dug-out earth.

Everyone remembered, and all hands were on the line. A few men came running with fear, saying the back slope in front of them suddenly gushed water. The water flow was quite large, probably due to being dug too deep.

Residents on both sides of the Huai River knew once the back slope flooded, there was a hole in the bottom of the bank. If you couldnt find the hole and fill it in time, it would become larger under the water force and break the entrance, which was very dangerous.

The people all became pale and rushed to the back slope. The slope indeed continued to gush muddy yellow water. It soon converged as a stream. The crowd was anxious. One after another climbed up the dam to find the hole, but the water gushed. How to find the hole under the current surge?

There was a man named Chen Shao of Southern Chu among Wei Shaos entourage. He was skilled in the water. When he saw the situation, he initiated and said, Marquis, you can tie a rope to my waist. Let me go into the water to check.

Wei Shaos nature is violent, and his character is uncompassionate and even vengeful. Otherwise, when he was a teenager, he would not have the title of Little King.

Qin lost his deer, and the whole world fought for it.

Wei Shao was no exception. Since he was in his position, he always had such ambition.

His ambition was to become a monarch and take over the world by force.

Over the years, Mrs. Xu and Mr. Gongsun Yang guided him. As he grew older and traveled around, he saw the peoples hardships. Being in a high position, he took their hardships to heart as if they were a responsibility imposed by heaven.

The reasons for todays improvised route were: first, he intended to help Yang Xin, and second, the miserable state of the villagers encountered on the road.

But here, he met such an elderly man.

He naturally heard the meaning of the elderly mans words. He could not help but be stunned.

The elderly man finished, bowed to him, turned around, and walked away.

Wei Shao looked at his back and could not help but ask: Dare to ask the elderly mans honorable name, and may I see you again?

I have a half-apprentice who learned for three months and is now under the command of Marquis. If there is a chance in the future, we will meet again. I hope you will not disappoint me with what I have seen today and that you will bring happiness to people in the future.

The elderly man did not turn back. His words floated in the wind, and his figure disappeared on the shore of the Huai River.
