Free Web NovelChapter 265: Yu Jin vs. Zang Ba
Long Chen’s eyes were tightly fixed on the tall general in front of him—Tai Shici.
Simply standing there, Tai Shici exuded a powerful oppressive aura, like a primordial beast.
Then, Long Chen’s serious expression suddenly broke into a smile.
"Ziyi, I’ve been eagerly awaiting your arrival."
His smile was like a spring breeze, naturally giving people a comfortable feeling.
Tai Shici had a handsome face and very expressive eyes.
"Yes, we meet again, General Long."
"What, you’re still calling me General Long? That’s too formal," Long Chen said, feigning annoyance.
Tai Shici was slightly stunned, but upon receiving a hinting look from Zhao Yun beside him, he clasped his hands and said:
"Tai Shici is willing to serve my lord."
"Hahaha, good! Very good!" Long Chen was extremely happy, lifting him up and scrutinizing Tai Shici’s face closely.
In fact, he was secretly calling on the system in his mind to check Tai Shici’s attribute panel.
Since Tai Shici had now submitted to him, he could naturally view his attribute panel, and his favorability was also above 70.

......
After looking at his attribute panel, Long Chen couldn’t help but exclaim, "What a great tiger general!"
The more he looked at Tai Shici’s robust body, the more he liked him.
He then waved his hand and ordered:
"Good! Since Ziyi has come all the way to Yangzhou to serve me, he is indeed a loyal minister of this era!
Someone, immediately order that Tai Shici be temporarily assigned to Zilong’s army as a Sima. If he has more achievements, further rewards will follow!"
Upon hearing this, Tai Shici’s eyes brightened, and he quickly clasped his hands in thanks.
After settling matters in Yangzhou, Long Chen began preparing his army for departure.
At the same time,
The Emperor Liu Xie, located in Danyang County, Yangzhou, suddenly issued an edict, which quickly spread throughout the thirteen provinces of the Han Dynasty.
The edict stated that the Inspector of Yanzhou, Cao Cao, was utterly inhumane, daring to launch a massacre in Xuzhou.
This act was against the natural order and was absurd.
The Emperor ordered Grand General Long Chen to lead 100,000 troops north to Xuzhou to stop Cao Cao’s atrocities.
With the Emperor’s edict, Long Chen’s campaign against Cao Cao was now officially sanctioned.
It was as if he was carrying the might of the heavens, and wherever he went, people showed great respect—except for those warlords who had declared themselves kings and defied the central authority.
Sitting on the Ice Dragon King, whose body emitted a layer of icy mist, Long Chen smiled and said to the strategist Jia Xu beside him:
"With the Emperor’s edict, everything becomes more convenient."
Jia Xu respectfully clasped his hands and said, "What the lord said is true. The Emperor represents the Han Dynasty, and with the Emperor’s support, the lord represents the direction of the Han Dynasty.
As long as the lord is willing, what can’t be done! Of course, this doesn’t include actions that harm the country and people."
Thus, on the road from Yangzhou to Xuzhou, an enormous army marched forward, their dense banners seemingly covering the sky.
Clang! Clang!
The metal clanging of armor colliding during the march was particularly jarring.
......
......
Meanwhile, within the Xuzhou territory near Yangzhou, a prolonged battle was taking place.
Strictly speaking, it was a one-sided massacre!
On the vast land, rows of Cao Cao’s soldiers dressed in white armor surged like a tide, their faces stern and cold.
Opposing them were the Xuzhou army clad in yellow armor, led by the great general of Xuzhou, Zang Ba.
Zang Ba rode a pure black Dawan horse, clad in dark yellow armor that emitted a faint gleam, resembling an invisible murderous aura.
A long, deep scar on the left side of his face made him look extremely fierce.
Wielding his long sword, he unleashed waves of sword energy from the blade, creating a landslide-like force that instilled fear.
From the central army, Cao Cao noticed this man and frowned. With his keen eyesight, he immediately saw Zang Ba’s terrifying might, capable of shaking the earth.
"Yu Jin! Go face him!"
Cao Cao leisurely peeled a golden orange, his sharp, hawk-like triangular eyes fixed intently on Zang Ba.
Hearing this, Yu Jin clasped his hands and replied: fгeewebnovёl.com
"At your command!!"
He then urged his horse forward, holding a dark black long spear, his gaze like lightning, determined to take Zang Ba’s life.
Seeing a general in black armor charging out from the middle of Cao Cao’s army, solid and imposing, Zang Ba shouted loudly:
"Who are you? State your name! My sword does not kill the nameless!"
Yu Jin snorted coldly, "I am Yu Jin, a great general of Cao’s army. Who are you?!"
"Hahaha!! Fool, do you dare to call yourself a great general?!! Very well, let me test the strength of Cao’s great general!"
With that, Zang Ba charged forward, his violent aura surging like a tide, causing Yu Jin to raise an eyebrow.
Zang Ba swung his sword,
The cold blade slashed down emotionlessly!!
The ground was split open with a huge crack, and lava faintly gushed from deep underground.
Yu Jin’s spear swept across, a blue mist rising to form a giant air wave, blocking Zang Ba’s powerful strike.
"Heh, I never expected that old Tao Qian would have such a fierce warrior under his command, truly unexpected!"
Yu Jin said casually, his arrogant demeanor irritating Zang Ba.
"You stinking brat, don’t be arrogant in front of your Grandpa Zang. Soon, I’ll show you Grandpa’s might."
Zang Ba shouted angrily, his sword blade suddenly covered in scorching red lava.
Yu Jin said nothing more, only snorting coldly, seemingly mocking Zang Ba’s overconfidence.
However, inwardly, he had already acknowledged Zang Ba as a formidable opponent.
Zang Ba’s bravery made even Yu Jin have to focus and face him with all his strength.
Otherwise... a slight mistake could put him at a disadvantage.
After a brief rest, the two clashed again, fighting evenly, each showcasing their skills.
Cao Mengde, sitting on his chariot, watched intently, clearly wanting to recruit Zang Ba.
