Chapter 538: Careful Planning, Losing Two Generals

Cao Zhang, who felt the strong wind, waved Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand and cut off the flying arrow directly.

"Haha, little Cao Zhang, my prime minister asked me to wait for you here for a long time."

As soon as the voice fell, Taishi Ci rushed out of the woods with Wei Yan, followed by Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry.

Seeing the two people setting up an ambush here, Cao Zhang didn't have a look of panic on his face, but was very excited.

He had known for a long time that these two people were both famous generals and that a battle was imminent. If they could kill one of them here, it would definitely be good news for them.

"Your prime minister is not asking you to ambush here, but he is asking you to die."

After saying that, Cao Zhang waved Fang Tian's painted halberd and rushed over.

Wei Yan snorted coldly and directly blocked Cao Zhang's attack with the White Tiger Sun-Eating Sword.

Both sides are famous generals, and both are very powerful, so they naturally kill each other frequently.

Yanyun's eighteen cavalry were not idle either. Under the command of Tai Shici, they rushed into Cao Zhang's army formation.

The mission Cao Zhang received this time was not originally for fighting. He did not bring out the tiger and leopard cavalry under his command, but ordinary cavalry. Naturally, they could not withstand it. They were all second-rate generals and Yanyun's eighteen cavalry. charge.

In just one face-to-face encounter, Cao Zhang's 5,000 cavalry lost 800 people.

Seeing this situation, Cao Zhang knew that his men could not hold on for long, so the speed of swinging Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand gradually increased.

Young Yingwu combined with Tianyuan's Death Halberd Technique, not only increased the attack power by 600%, but also had a 100% armor-piercing effect.

Facing Cao Zhang's sudden acceleration, Wei Yan did not react for a moment. His armor was penetrated by Fang Tian's painted halberd, and a small injury appeared on his abdomen. Fortunately, Wei Yan reacted in time and avoided this fatal attack.

Looking at the armor on his body, Wei Yan shook his hand and looked at Cao Zhang.

"Good boy, you have some skills. I underestimated you, so come and try me."

Wei Yan no longer hid his clumsiness and directly used the last move of the White Tiger Sun-Eating Sword Technique, White Tiger-Eating Sun.

The strong blade carried the wind and slashed at Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang held Fang Tian's painted halberd above his head and resisted the move.

However, the moment the two parties came into contact, Cao Zhang almost threw the Fang Tian Painted Halberd in his hand. The powerful force caused his arm to bend instantly.

Cao Zhang felt that instead of blocking the opponent's sword, he felt like a mountain was pressing down on his Fang Tian Hua Ji.

Gritting his teeth and knocking Wei Yan's knife away, Cao Zhang hurriedly retreated. After pulling away a safe distance, he couldn't help but move his numb arms.

Both of them are famous generals, and when their potential and standing strength are almost equal, it will be difficult for each other to completely kill the other.

Cao Zhang wanted to understand this, and when he was about to find an opportunity to retreat, a sound of breaking wind came from behind.

There was a crisp "ding" sound.

Cao Zhang subconsciously stood Fang Tian Hua Ji behind him, and an arrow hit Fang Tian Hua Ji's halberd.

At this time, Cao Zhang broke out in a cold sweat, because he just remembered that this time Liu Bei sent not only the famous general Wei Yan, but also the famous general Tai Shici.

It's just that after Taishi Ci shot an arrow at the beginning, he left the battlefield, causing himself to forget about it.

Facing the two famous generals' attacks from the front and back, even Cao Zhang was in a hurry and could only defend passively.

Even if he uses the Tianyuan Death Halberd Technique, he can only barely resist it.

However, Huang Xuer's characteristics, +200% defense and +200% toughness, gave Cao Zhang some help, at least allowing Cao Zhang to temporarily defend against the siege of the two men.

Just when Cao Zhang was entangled by the two famous generals, Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry had completely defeated the thousands of cavalry brought by Cao Zhang, and his own losses were less than 300.

But after all, there were only 2,000 people, and hundreds of cavalry were allowed to run away.

Cao Zhang was delighted when he saw this. Once these cavalry ran back, the news that he was surrounded would be conveyed to Cao Cao, and reinforcements would arrive soon.

But a scene soon appeared, leaving Cao Zhang completely desperate.

"Wen Chang, Ziyi, you guys haven't finished yet. I've finished over there. I encountered 600 cavalrymen on the way, and I took care of them all."

As soon as the voice fell, Zhang Liao rushed over from the direction of Cao Cao's military camp with his white horse Yi Cong.

Obviously, this team of white horse soldiers went to disrupt Cao Cao's resting rhythm. Now that the task was completed, they happened to meet them.

After Cao Zhang figured it out, his movements became a little panicked.

"Wenyuan, we are almost here too."

Wei Yan found a loophole in Cao Zhang's defense and used White Tiger to Devour the Sun again. The Fangtian Painted Halberd in Cao Zhang's hand was shaken and he dropped it directly. Taishi Ci's double halberd was directly placed on Cao Zhang's neck.

"Child Cao Zhang, you have been arrested."

Taishi Ci smiled proudly. After hearing that Gu Rubing obtained the so-called war compensation from Sun Jian and using Sun Ce, Taishi Ci knew that what he had in his hands was not a prisoner, but a moving mountain of gold!

Cao Zhang wanted to say something else, but Wei Yan knocked Cao Zhang unconscious with a punch.

Then Cao Zhang was tied up roughly.

"Oh, oh, be gentle to our golden mountain. If this person breaks his arms and legs, our golden mountain will be much less!"

Taishi Ci looked at Wei Yan and shouted hurriedly, after all, his value is here.

"It's okay. Even if his arm is broken, I don't believe Cao Cao doesn't want it. This is his son and he is a famous general."

The three of them talked and laughed along the way and returned to Nanjun.

Gu Rubing and Zhuge Liang were already waiting on the city wall.

After seeing the three people returning, they immediately came to the city gate to greet them.

"Lord!"

The three of them worshiped in front of Gu Rubing at the same time.

"Get up, what's the outcome of this battle for you three?"

Gu Rubing helped the three of them up, and at the same time looked curiously at Cao Zhang, who was tied up on the horse.

"Lord, we have completed the mission of the prime minister. Bai Mayi is back safely. Ziyi, we also caught Cao Zhang who came to attack us."

"Oh? Cao Zhang?"

Gu Rubing's eyes widened when he heard it was Cao Zhang.

He was just pulled to the city wall by Zhuge Liang at first, saying that he wanted to give him a surprise, but he did not expect that the surprise turned out to be Cao Zhang.

Since Zhuge Liang switched to strategist mode, his ability on the battlefield has become stronger. He can predict events like a god and can almost guess his opponent's next move.

"Congratulations, lord, on the golden mountain."

Zhuge Liang stood aside and bowed to Gu Rubing.

"Okay, okay, this time all four of you have merit. When the war is over, we will reward you together."

Sheriff's Mansion.

Cao Zhang woke up in a daze and happened to see Gu Rubing sitting in the first place, accompanied by Zhuge Liang and the three generals who captured him.

"You guys are despicable people. You bullied the small ones by bullying them. You agreed to a decisive battle in five days, but now you do it. You have no credibility at all. I didn't expect that Liu Bei, who is full of kindness and kindness all over the world, would be such a person behind his back. "

When Cao Zhang saw Liu Bei, he knew he couldn't get rid of him, so he just cursed him first.

"Bullying the minority with the greater number? You allied forces from all directions are attacking our Nanjun. Is this bullying the minority with the greater number? I have not broken the promise of a decisive battle in five days. This is at most a sneak attack, and it shouldn't be considered a decisive battle, right? According to this statement, it seems You are the shameless ones.”

Listening to Gu Rubing's words, Cao Zhang held back everything he said. He always felt that what Gu Rubing said was wrong, but he just couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Okay, take General Cao down and treat him well. Early tomorrow morning, invite Cao Cao out. I want to talk to him."

"Lord, wait a minute! This matter is not over yet. One Cao Zhang is indeed very important, but since we have already taken action, this one Cao Zhang is not enough."

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he smiled mysteriously!

In Cao Cao's military camp.

At this time, the soldiers were still sorting out the camp that was messed up by the white horse Yi Cong.

Seeing such a chaotic camp, Cao Cao felt a little angry in his heart, but when he thought that his Cao Zhang should have arrived at Nanjun City at this time, Liu Bei, like himself, couldn't sleep well, and the anger in his heart could not help but diminish a lot.

However, when the camp was sorted out and an hour passed, there was still no sign of Cao Zhang coming back.

Cao Cao was also a little anxious, and immediately sent Cao Ren and five hundred golden captains to check.

If he really takes action, the 500-year-old Mojin Colonel can also help Cao Zhang break out.

According to Cao Cao's guess, Cao Zhang was probably held back by Nanjun, so he didn't come back. He wanted to ask Cao Ren to support him and kill Liu Bei's majesty on the way.

However, as soon as Cao Ren walked halfway, he saw corpses on the ground, all wearing Cao Jun's armor.

There are still many traces of battles around.

Cao Ren knew something had happened, and when he was about to take his people back to report, an arrow was shot from a distance.

While Cao Ren waved his sword to block it, the force from the flying arrow made Cao Ren a little surprised.

Immediately afterwards, two thousand White Tiger Sun-Eating Guards rushed out from around the woods, surrounding the five hundred golden captains.

"It's broken! I fell into a trap."

"The Prime Minister asked me to wait here to ambush, but unexpectedly, a big fish came."

After the voice fell, Huang Zhong and Xu Rong came over slowly on horseback from two directions.

When Cao Ren saw the two people appearing, he knew that he might not be able to get a favor. The only way now was to let his men rush out, tell Cao Cao the news here, and find someone to reinforce him.

"In a moment, I will try my best to send you out. After you go back, quickly ask the lord to come for reinforcements."

A centurion immediately shook his head after hearing this.

"No, general, we will fight with you to the end."

"Don't you see how many people there are on the other side? With just the number of people we have, even if they are all dead, there won't be many casualties. Leave quickly. This is a military order!"

After hearing this, the centurion felt unwilling but could not persist.

"General, take care! Wait until we come back!"

Cao Ren laughed loudly, and then rushed towards Cao Ying with Captain Mo Jin in mind.

The person guarding the direction of Cao Ying is Xu Rong.

When Xu Rong saw Cao Ren coming towards him, he didn't panic at all. After being promoted to a famous general, he felt that he had become stronger than ever before, and he also gained some confidence in his heart.

However, at the moment when the two sides fought, Xu Rong knew that there was still some gap between himself and these veteran generals, but it was not big and it was acceptable.

Cao Ren saw that Xu Rong could not be beaten back with one blow, and when he was about to make a second blow, a strong wind came from behind him again.

You don't need to look to know that Huang Zhong must have taken action.

Cao Ren dodged the flying arrows sideways, and when he was about to continue attacking Xu Rong, Huang Zhong appeared behind Cao Ren holding a red blood knife.

Facing the famous general Cao Ren who was alone, Huang Zhong did not look down on him and directly used his full strength.

The red blood knife absorbed Huang Zhong's heart blood and turned into gold instantly.

Seeing that Huang Zhong's red blood sword was about to strike, Cao Ren did not dare to hesitate and swung his sword again to stop it.

But this powerful force made Cao Ren's whole body freeze.

Cao Ren originally wanted to fight quickly, but he didn't expect that the real Huang Zhong wanted to fight quickly and used all his strength right from the start.

Just when Huang Zhong and Xu Rong were entangled with Cao Ren.

The five hundred tomb-grabbing lieutenants, after sacrificing four hundred people, finally broke through the siege and rushed towards Cao's camp.

However, just after taking a few steps.

"Shoot!"

A voice sounded in the distance.

A rain of arrows appeared, directly shooting the hundred tomb-grabbing lieutenants on the spot.

Then the wandering crossbow lieutenant and the white feather light cavalry, a total of four hundred people, walked out from a distance.

After seeing that all the five hundred tomb-grabbing lieutenants he brought were killed, Cao Ren's eyes suddenly turned red, and the moves in his hands were a little messy.

Huang Zhong took this opportunity to cut Cao Ren off the horse with a knife.

After Cao Ren landed, he still wanted to resist, but Xu Rong put a knife on his neck.

Seeing this, Cao Ren closed his eyes directly.

"Kill me."

"Kill you? That won't do. The Prime Minister said he wants to exchange you for a lot of good things. I heard Cao Cao is very rich, but I don't know if it's true."

Huang Zhong looked like a profiteer and smiled smugly.

As for why he looked like this, it was completely from Gu Rubing's true teachings.

When Cao Ren heard that he was going to threaten Cao Cao, he gritted his teeth and prepared to use the knife in Xu Rong's hand to commit suicide.

Huang Zhong saw Cao Ren's thoughts and threw the Fang Tian Hua Ji directly in front of Cao Ren.

"You should be familiar with this thing?"

"Young Master?"

Cao Ren was of course familiar with the Fang Tian Hua Ji, and the owner was Cao Zhang.

Since the Fang Tian Hua Ji was in Huang Zhong's hands, it meant that Cao Zhang might have been captured as well.

Huang Zhong's words soon verified Cao Ren's guess.

"The young master of your family who is good at fighting is in the hands of my master. My master said that if you dare to commit suicide, he will let your young master be buried with you."

Hearing this, Cao Ren gritted his teeth.

"I'll go with you."

After receiving this answer, Huang Zhong nodded with satisfaction.

Huang Zhong was not as rude as Wei Yan. He just tied Cao Ren to the horse and returned to Nanjun.

Before leaving, he also put a letter written by Zhuge Liang on the body of a tomb raider.

Cao Cao didn't know why, but he always had a bad feeling since Cao Ren left.

And as time went by, that bad feeling became stronger.

After a long time, Cao Cao realized that he had been busy organizing the camp, sending Cao Zhang to harass Nanjun, and sending Cao Ren to reinforce. Until now, he seemed to have not received any news from the scout.

And according to the time calculation, when the scout disappeared, it seemed that he sent Cao Zhang out.
