Han Shimou

Chapter 738 Cao Ren's Pride

Hua Xiong's eyes condensed, as if he had noticed Lv Kuang's plan. While chasing him quickly, he was also on guard. When Hua Xiong approached, Lv Kuang suddenly picked up the gun, suddenly turned around, shot back the horse gun, and stabbed Hua's ambition. Hua Xiong had been prepared for a long time and quickly flashed away from Lv Kuang's shot.

"Little thief, if you dare to humiliate my lord, I will take your life now!"

Hua Xiong shouted sharply, waved the knife, his hand fell, the blade passed, the body was separated, and Lv Kuang was about to cut off his horse. Lv Kuang wanted to return the horse gun, but was hacked to death by Hua Xiong. His soldiers suddenly panicked and were all scared. Seeing this, Liu Bei quickly covered up the army and defeated the other army. Lv Xiang couldn't resist and led a remnant soldier to escape.

Unexpectedly, Lv Xiang just escaped not far away. An army on the side of the road was prominent. He was the leading general, wearing armor and holding a thunder gun. It was Taishi Ci. Taishi Ci led the army to attack, and Lv Xiang did not dare to attack, so he grabbed the road and fled. Tai Shici covered up behind, and Lv Xiang folded most of his troops and ran away in a panic. Lv Xiang was frightened and was still in shock. He traveled less than ten miles. Suddenly, there was a gunshot, and another army blocked the way. As the first general, the leopard's head and eyes are ringing, holding a eight-foot snake spear, sounding like thunder, and shouting with the spear.

"Zhang Yide is here! Why don't the thief get off the horse and die!!!"

This will be Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's third brother. After drinking, Zhang Fei patted the horse and straightened the spear, and took Lv Xiang straight. Lv Xiang was caught off guard. Before he could react in the future, he was stabbed in the throat by Zhang Fei's spear, screamed, and turned over and died. The rest of the people scattered around. Liu Bei came later and joined the two armies to chase them. Most of Lv Kuang and Lv Xiang's troops were captured by Liu Bei's army. Liu Bei received more than 3,000 soldiers and countless heavy supplies, so he returned to the county. Reward the single blessing, and reward the three armies.

During this period, Shan Fu, in order to be loyal, told Liu Bei his real name. It turned out that when Shan Fu was young, he was a righteous Bo Yuntian. He was good at learning fencing and was successful in learning. He once killed people for his good friend's revenge, and then Shan Fu walked away with his hair on his face and was captured by the government. The official asked his name but did not answer. He was tied to the car and beat the drum in the city. Today, people in the city know it. Although those who know it dare not say anything, their companions steal to save him. He fled with a change of name. After that, Shan Fu saw that the world was in chaos. With knives and guns alone, it was difficult to transform the troubled times. Shan Fu then abandoned Wu Congwen, turned to learn, visited famous teachers, and worshipped Sima Hui as his chief apprentice. The true identity of Shan Fu is Xu Shu, a native of Yingchuan, and the character is also straight.

Liu Bei knew what had happened in the past. He not only did not blame Xu Shu for concealing it before, but also praised him for avenging his friends in previous years. When Xu Shu heard this, he was quite moved. He only felt that Liu Bei knew his heart and was even more loyal to Liu Bei.

However, it was said that the defeated army returned to see Cao Ren and reported that Erlu was killed by Hua Xiong and Zhang Fei respectively, and nearly 3,000 soldiers in the army were captured alive. Cao Ren was shocked and discussed it with his brother Cao Chun. Cao Chun was very cautious and said.

"Brother, our army is newly defeated, and the other army is fierce. Today, it is best to press the soldiers, declare the prime minister, and set up the soldiers to fight. It is the best strategy. When Cao Ren heard this, he was a little dishate and said coldly.

"Otherwise. Today, the two generals were killed in battle, and many soldiers and horses were killed. This revenge must be repaid urgently. If this matter is transmitted back to Luoyang, you and I will have no face! What's more, what's the matter with the Prime Minister's army?"

"How can the elder brother ignore the overall situation because of his personal face? Although Liu Daer has few soldiers, there are many capable people under his command. Pan, Zhang Taishi and Hua's four generals are all invincible. They take the head of the enemy general within thousands of troops, just like exploring things in a bag. There was a detailed report before, and Liu Da'er came down with a capable person. This person is unfathomable, and the defeat of Er Lv is what I expect is the strategy designed by this person. Liu Daer is helped by this person. He is like a tiger with wings. He can't be despised.

"Pure brother, you have always dared to fight bravely. Today, how can you say this dejected word that makes others lose their own prestige! It's hard for you to be afraid of big-eared thieves!"

Cao Ren suddenly shouted harshly. Liu Bei started his own business and had few victories. For most of his life, he lived a life of being chased and killed everywhere. In particular, whenever Liu Bei meets the power of Cao Cao, he is bound to retreat. Therefore, in the eyes of Cao's generals, Liu Bei is just a clown. Cao Ren is the head of the general under Cao Cao's command. If the defeat of the two Lv soldiers is transmitted back to Luoyang, Cao Ren's reputation will inevitably fall to a thousand feet!

Therefore, Cao Ren is dedicated to a big victory to cover this shame!

Cao Chun didn't know that Cao Ren was afraid that his position would be shaken. He shook his head slightly and said again.

"The so-called knowing the enemy can win every battle. My brother is not afraid to fight, but I'm afraid he can't win.

At this time, Cao Ren could not listen to the advice, but he suddenly became angry and roared.

"The meaning of my pure brother's words is that I'm not Liu Dayer's opponent!!? I have fought with the Prime Minister all my life, and I have never lost. At present, if I can't capture Liu Daer alive, I will never return to Luoyang!"

"It's not good! Brother, this stubborn temper is coming again! At this time, the Prime Minister is not here, I'm afraid no one can persuade him!"

Cao Chun did not think of his own words, but aroused Cao Ren's temper. His eyes were shocked. After a while, he hurriedly said.

"If my brother goes, he will leave someone to stick to Fancheng in case something unexpected happens."

"No! I want you to go with me and see with my own eyes how I can capture the big-eared thief!!"

Cao Chun had no choice but to persuade him too much. He had no choice but to order 25,000 military horses with his brother Cao Ren and cross the river to Xinye. However, at the same time, Cao Chun was afraid that Cao Ren would leave in anger, resulting in a great defeat, and secretly sent people to order Luoyang to report to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao received Cao Chun's report. When he learned that Cao Ren was angry and attacked Xinye, he was immediately shocked. Cao Ren is a man of commanding the army and is familiar with the art of war. He is a rare handsome talent. That's why Cao Cao promoted Cao Ren to the head of the general and gave him more important responsibilities. But no one is perfect, and Cao Ren also has a fatal shortcoming, that is, pride. If Cao Cao is by his side, Cao Ren still knows how to restrain himself. If Cao Cao is not here, Cao Ren's shortcoming will definitely lead to a big disaster.

Cao Cao was extremely familiar with Cao Ren. He immediately sent Xu Chu to lead a fast ride, took his handwritten letter, and rushed to Xinye. However, he said that Cao Ren was angry, so he raised the soldiers of the headquarters, 25,000 soldiers and horses, and crossed the river like stars and night, intending to step on the land of Xinye.

Not long after Liu Bei won the victory and returned to the county, he was happy to be assisted by Xu Shu, who helped the world, and there is hope to build a great career in the future. Xu Shu showed his talent, and Pan Feng, Zhang Fei, Tai Shici and other generals were extremely admired and willing to be under his command.

Liu Bei was ambitious. He stepped up the recruitment of troops in Xinye. While being wary of Cao Cao, he was secretly calculating how to seize the jurisdiction from Liu Biao, accumulate the general trend as soon as possible, and plot the world.

Just when Liu Bei tried his best to plan for the future. Xu Shu suddenly came to look for him and told Liu Bei.

"Cao Ren has been a soldier in Fancheng for a long time, which means that Cao Cao went to the south of the Yangtze River and explored the wind. Cao Ren is a general under Cao Cao's command. He has a high reputation and shocked his army. In addition to Cao Cao, the generals and soldiers are the most respected, and they belong to this person. Because of this, Cao Ren is proud in his heart and will never allow his fame to be damaged. The lord has always been restrained by Cao Cao, and the Cao army despised the lord. Today, Erlu was killed, and most of his soldiers and horses were captured by the lord. Cao Ren felt that he had lost his power and must rise up a large army to fight. In order to win a big victory, kill the master, and cover the previous shame.

As soon as Liu Bei heard this, he was shocked. Cao Ren used his troops like a god and was a famous Changsheng general in the world. Liu Bei was afraid of Xinye and was overturned by his soldiers and horses. He hurriedly asked.

"Cao Zixiao is a man who has a deep understanding of the art of war. In the past, I heard Cao Cao say that when it comes to fighting, even he is not necessarily Cao Zixiao's opponent. This man's ability to use soldiers is better than Cao Mengde. Military division, how can I welcome it!!?"

"Ha ha. Lord, don't panic. I have my own tricks to deal with it."

Xu Shu's eyes were bright and he was confident. Seeing this, Liu Bei quickly asked.

"The military division has a plan. Come on."

Xu Shu smiled brightly, giving people a strange feeling that even if the sky falls, he also has a plan to save him. I only heard Xu Shu say slowly.

"Cao Zixiao comes with anger. If he is angry, he will be chaotic, and if he is chaotic, it is easy to make mistakes. I'm afraid he can't give full play to his talent. In this case, there is no need for the lord to panic. And Cao Zixiao raised his troops and horses to kill him. Fancheng was empty, and we could take advantage of it. As soon as Fan Cheng was lost, Cao Zixiao guarded the base camp and naturally retreated.

Liu Bei's eyes were exposed repeatedly, and he hurriedly continued to ask again. Xu Shu whispered in a low voice.

"Hahahaha, okay, okay!!! The military master is really a god!"

Liu Bei was overjoyed and said yes repeatedly. He paid more attention to Xu Shu in his heart, obeyed his words and prepared in advance according to Xu Shu's teachings.

A few days later, Liu Jun came to report.

"Report!! Lord!!! Cao Ren led the army and crossed the river. His army marched quickly, and the villain waited for his journey, and he would go to Xinye City in half a day.

The Liu Jun was in scouting, his face was full of panic, and his eyes were full of fear. However, Liu Bei was sure and looked at Xu Shu. Xu Shu said with a slight smile.

"It didn't come to my expectation. Cao Zixiao really came quickly!"

"Forever, the military teacher's expectation is like a god. It has long been calculated that Cao Zixiao will inevitably urge the army to rush, and he will definitely rush to the realm of Xinye within three days, teaching me to prepare early. Otherwise, I will be caught off guard by him!"

Liu Bei praised unabashedly. Xu Shu was not shocked, nods and smiled, so he asked Liu Bei to go out to meet the enemy. Cao Ren led the troops to rush, and the footsteps, horses' hoofs and soldiers in the army shook the sound of dang, shaking the sky and the sea, and the army was majestic. At this moment, the wind and dust were rolling in front of him, and Liu Bei led five or six thousand soldiers and horses, which was very inferior to Cao Ren's large part. When Cao Ren saw that Liu Bei arrived, his face turned cold. He smiled secretly that Liu's ear was not alive or dead, so he ordered the soldiers to prepare. Liu Bei also ordered the soldiers to fight and prepare to kill. Soon after, Liu Bei cast his eyes on Hua Xiong. Hua was ambitious and rushed out of the battle before rushing out of the battle.

Cao Ren knew that Hua was so strong that he did not dare to fight easily. After reviewing the battle, he asked who dared to fight. In the past, Gaolan, one of the four pillars in the river, came out. Cao Ren's face was happy. Gaolan's martial arts were extraordinary, which should be able to resist Hua Xiong, and then said a few words in Gaolan's ear. Gao Lan nod his head and got the order, so he waved his knife and flew away. The two horses rushed to each other, and Hua Xiong suddenly cut a round of broken dragon knives. Gao Lan separated them with the knife, and then struggled to swing Hua Xiong's broken dragon knife. Hua Xiong was shocked and powerful, shook his spirit, suddenly cut off the dragon knife, and poked straight into the door. Gao Lan hurriedly avoided it, shouted, and waved his knife to attack Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong may block or avoid. As soon as Gao Lan's offensive stops, Hua Xiong will attack again. The two of them came and went, killing for about dozens of rounds, and the soldiers on both sides were shocked.
