Lord Guan Yu's army has already stationed at Changbanpo, and the next strategic deployment has not been made.

When I came back, their surprised expressions were within my expectations. Everyone was too shocked to speak as usual.

I told them about the great victory at Xinye, but this time the battlefield was not in the wilderness, but within the city walls.

They were at a loss as to why a lone rider like me could have such great killing power.

What was most important was that the young master, Ah Dou, in my arms looked rosy-cheeked and had not received the slightest injury.

The next day, the war report finally came back. Cao's army had lost fifty thousand soldiers, and there were countless wounded. General Xiahou Dun was critically injured.

General Yu Jin had gone insane with fear and would shriek when he saw any light:

"Demon, demon, he's a shining demon. He'll blow us all up, he'll blow us all up!"

This time, Cao's army was on high alert and no longer underestimated Lord Liu Bei's fighting prowess.

According to our Lord from within Cao's army, Cao Cao now believed that Liu Bei was the reincarnation of Han Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu.

Otherwise, why would every battle he started be accompanied by strange signs, especially this one at Xinye.

The tremendous explosion may not have been as grand as when we fought against Wang Mang's army, but it was still devastating.

So, to make sure he had everything covered, Cao Cao this time decided to summon all his soldiers. Other than the necessary garrison forces, the entire army was to attack.

Liu Bei's forces must be completely wiped out to prevent any future trouble, at any cost.

I heard that Cao Cao has been reading through the records of Han Guangwu Emperor's battles. Every time he does, he starts questioning his life choices.

An event like the falling meteor was too terrifying for him, without any way to counter it, and even lacking the courage to do so.

It was only after a joint petition from his advisers that Cao Cao ultimately decided to pursue Liu Bei.

There was nothing particularly confidential about the petition, and it was easily delivered to Liu Bei by a spy.

But the content of the note made Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei grimace:

"Liu Bei has a top-grade *** in his house."

Liu Bei ripped the note to pieces and cursed Cao the thief for his excessive provocation, then turned his gaze to me.

As I fed Ah Dou, I lightly patted Liu Bei's shoulder and said calmly:

"Don't worry, I will take action."

Once again, everyone was overwhelmed by my king's aura, to the extent that Zhuge Liang entrusted me with the most important rear defense work once again.

The citizens in the city left with Liu Bei, who said to them:

"Folks, let's leave quickly and not delay General Long Aotian's performance.

"When the General is angry, even the city will be blown up. Think about Xinye of a few days ago. If you don't leave now, when will you?"

The residents of Changbanpo were also among the most lovely people under the sun, quickly evacuating to allow me to battle the Cao army with no restrictions.

By noon the next day, the once vast Changbanpol was almost deserted, with almost only me left.

Lord Liu Bei, the last one to depart, looked at Ah Dou in my arms with tears in his eyes, reluctant to leave.

I waved a silver spear in my hand and the bright red cloak danced in the air:

"Rest assured, after this matter is concluded, you and your son will be reunited. Go, Lord, and do not hinder my performance."

Liu Bei didn't want to let go of Ah Dou's cradle, so I directly waved my long spear and stabbed Red Hare in the hindquarters.

Our Lord quickly ran towards the direction of Dangyang Bridge, but the road wasn't smooth. He was thrown off Red Hare and dragged along, shouting:

"Long...Long Aotian...I..."

I didn't hear the rest, but from my understanding, our Lord must have used many words of praise towards me...
