Mi Zhu was originally going to wait for the men and horses from Nanyang to come over, but with a thousand soldiers and horses now, it was really difficult to hold so many Cao troops. It's just that Mi Zhu didn't have to wait long at all, and Zhang Xiu came with the troops.

When Zhang Xiu learned that Ye County was attacked, she admired Mi Zhu very much in her heart, and she was still a good reader, so she immediately thought of the most likely place for Cao Jun to attack. Zhang Xiu usually doesn't like to read so much, but after seeing such a gap, Zhang Xiu decided to spend more time on reading in the future.

Zhang Xiu hurriedly arrived with his troops, but after he arrived in Duyang, he found that Gao Shun and the others had already attacked. When I thought of Gao Shun's troops, although the trapping camp was very strong, I always felt a little unsafe. Zhang Xiu did not stop in Duyang, and chased after them in the direction of Gao Shun under the guidance of the troops left behind in Duyang.

When Zhang Xiu arrived, the battle was over, and all the Cao troops were squatting on the ground and guarded by Liu Jun's soldiers.

"Mr. Mi, how is the battle? What about General Gao Shun? Did you go after Cao Jun? Zhang Xiu didn't see Gao Shun's figure, and hurriedly asked.

"General Zhang. You've come just in time. The Cao army's invasion has been wiped out. Except for these who were alive, that is, about a hundred or so people fled. General Gao Shun took the trapped camp and General Zhang Yide to attack Runan. Mi Zhu briefly introduced the process before and after to Zhang Xiu.

"Huh? Attack Runan? Zhang Yide? Is that Zhang Fei!? Zhang Xiu's brain feels that it is not enough, isn't this Zhang Fei Liu Bei's brother, how can he get mixed with his side.

Mi Zhu knew that Zhang Xiu had not received the news yet, so he explained: "Zhang Fei was captured by His Majesty last time, and he should be under His Majesty's command, and now he is his own person." ”

Zhang Xiu didn't expect such a thing to happen, which is too surprising.

Mi Zhu knew that Zhang Xiu was a little unconvinced now, and he smiled indifferently: "General Zhang doesn't need to doubt it. It is estimated that His Majesty's notice will soon reach Nanyang, and General Zhang will naturally be able to understand this matter at that time. ”

As Tong Mizhu said, Zhang Xiu doesn't believe it now and has no other way.

It's just that now Gao Shun and Zhang Fei are not here, Nanyang's safety has been temporarily resolved, and Zhang Xiu can only transfer the captured Cao army to Nanyang City now. No matter how you say these Cao Jun are strong laborers, such manpower is a huge wealth wherever it is placed, Zhang Xiu, as the guard general of Nanyang, of course knows that he can make the best use of things and make the best use of his talents, and if he doesn't use these Cao Jun soldiers, Zhang Xiu feels that he can't help himself. At the same time, Mi Zhu was also left behind by Zhang Xiu to assist Zhang Xiu in handling some serious matters. Mi Zhu agreed with a wry smile, Zhang Xiu is the biggest official in Nanyang, and Mi Zhu still needs to give Zhang Xiu face. As for the situation on Zhang Fei and Gao Shun's side, Mi Zhu believed that with Zhang Fei and Gao Shun's strength, even if they couldn't take Runan City, they wouldn't have much loss. For this, Mi Zhu has a lot of confidence.

Go to Zhang Fei and Gao Shun's side.

Zhang Fei is very familiar with the road between Nanyang and Runan, because he came to Nanyang from Runan with Liu Bei back then, and at this moment he is just taking the old road again.

With Zhang Fei's lead, the speed of the march is naturally much faster.

Gao Shun didn't seem to know about Zhang Fei's experience, and asked suspiciously, "General Zhang, why are you so familiar with this experience?" ”

"Of course it's familiar. At the beginning, my eldest brother and I came to Nanyang from Runan. Zhang Fei explained.

Gao Shun finally knew the reason, thinking that Zhang Fei had a hard time with Liu Bei before, and he had to run around almost every time. Now that he is here with Liu Yu, Gao Shun feels that Zhang Fei should be able to live a very nourishing life in the future, anyway, Gao Shun himself thinks so.

"After stepping over this mountain and embarking on a day's and night's journey, Runan City will not be far away." Zhang Fei pointed to a mountain peak in the distance and said.

Gao Shun nodded, although this trip was far away, but their troops were still acceptable.

The officers and men of Liu's army marched rapidly under the leadership of Gao Shun and Zhang Fei. After stepping over the peak that Zhang Fei pointed to, Gao Shun ordered all the soldiers to stop and rest. People are not machines, even the strongest people will feel tired and hungry, and the necessary rest is certain. Zhang Fei is a little anxious, the soldiers are very fast, and now if he delays a little time, I am afraid that Runan will have to take precautions.

"General Gao, now is not the time to rest." Zhang Fei muttered.

"General Zhang, the soldiers have experienced a battle before, and they have traveled all the way. It's almost nightfall, so why not get some rest. I'm afraid that when I get to Runan, the soldiers won't even be able to pick up their weapons. Gao Shun said.

Zhang Fei was refuted by Gao Shun and had nothing to say, he Zhang Fei was very strong, but the soldiers were ordinary people, and they couldn't be compared with him at all. Zhang Fei knew that he was a newcomer to Liu Yu's side, and now the weight of his speech was not as heavy as Gao Shun's, so he naturally couldn't talk too much.

Gao Shun saw that Zhang Fei had no objection, or acquiesced, so he ordered the whole army to set up camp, bury the pot and cook, and rest for the night.

Zhang Fei also found a place to rest, and also chose a very special camp tent, not with the soldiers. In fact, this is Zhang Fei's personality problem, Zhang Fei was born in a wealthy family since he was a child, and the education he received is an elite education, from his heart, he looks down on the low-level people and soldiers, but if you have the strength to be recognized by Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei attaches great importance to it. Zhang Fei is a light soldier, this is a famous existence in history.

Unlike Zhang Fei, Gao Shun mingled with the soldiers, and the soldiers also liked to be with Gao Shun very much. Zhang Fei looked at Gao Shun like this, and he didn't approve of it in his heart, but he couldn't influence Gao Shun's thoughts. Everyone has their own way of living and fighting, and there is no need to interfere and influence the other.

Gao Shun and Zhang Fei's troops rested under this peak.

It was late at night, and only the stars flickered under the moonlight.

In the distance of the mountain where Zhang Fei and Gao Shun were, a small army was running madly towards Runan. They were Xia Houlan and his Qin army who had escaped before.

Xia Houlan was planted this time. Originally, it was well designed, Xiahoulan raided into Nanyang, took one or two county seats, and then wandered around Nanyang to attract Liu Yu's troops, so as to achieve the strategic purpose of dispersing Liu Yu's forces, so that Cao Ren could secretly enter Yingchuan and take the important place of Yingchuan. But Xia Houlan didn't expect that he would encounter a terrifying trap camp before he could exert more combat power. A trap defeated Xiahoulan, so that he had to choose to retreat in order to have a follow-up effect. What's even more unfortunate is that Xia Houlan was actually blocked by Zhang Fei. If it weren't for Xia Houlan's cleverness, he might be the soul under Zhang Fei's snake spear now.

"Liu Bei! You two-faced guy. I'm going to tell the Prime Minister the truth of the matter. "Xiahou Lan already sees Liu Bei as a thief who betrayed the alliance.

Xiahou Lan and they were fleeing for their lives, so they had no intention of stopping at all, but their war horses couldn't stand it. In the end, several war horses fell directly to the ground from exhaustion, and they looked like they were dying.

"General, let's take a break. If we continue like this, we may have to walk back. The captain of the pro-soldier said.

"Okay, let's get some rest." Xia Houlan knew that if they didn't take a break now, if all the war horses fell, they would be miserable.

Xia Houlan and the others immediately got off the horse, and the captain of the personal soldiers took out a piece of flatbread and a pot of water very intimately and handed it to Xia Houlan. Don't underestimate these two things, once the war starts, it will be a dark existence, no one knows how long it will take, and it is very likely that such a bite of food and drink is a life.

It can be seen that the captain of the pro-soldier is very central to Xiahou Lan.

After resting for a while, the horse's strength was also restored, and Xia Houlan ordered all the personnel of the pro-army team to continue to move forward immediately.

Xia Houlan had a hunch that Zhang Fei, Gao Shun and the others might be chased after them soon, and they had to move forward as soon as possible, even if it was more dangerous to travel in the night, it was better than being chased by Zhang Fei and Gao Shun. Only by arriving in Runan City can Xiahoulan have a trace of safety.

But Xiahou Lan thought very well, but their war horses were not powerful. After forcibly advancing for a period of time, the horses were finally exhausted, and no matter how much they were whipped, they couldn't move forward, and some of the horses directly lost their strength and collapsed on the ground, throwing the soldiers on horseback into the mud, and almost didn't fall to death. Cao Jun's high-quality war horse resources are extremely scarce, and the war horses of Xia Houlan and the pro-soldier team are not high-quality war horses, and it is good to be able to hold on to it until now. Xiahou Lan's luck was much better, his war horse was just out of strength, but he didn't throw him out.

Xia Houlan regretted it to death now, if she hadn't been so anxious just now, she would have given the war horse another rest, and such a thing would not have happened.

"General, what are we going to do?" The captain of the pro-soldiers was about to cry, what he said before really worked, and he and the others really had to walk back to Runan.

Xiahou Lan is also worried, without war horses, it is very difficult for them to go back to Runan, and they may be encountered by Liu Jun who is chasing after them. Why did Xia Houlan conclude that Zhang Fei and Gao Shun would chase and kill him?

Gao Shun may not chase after him, but Xia Houlan thinks that Zhang Fei will. There is no other reason, because Xiahou Lan knew about Liu Bei's betrayal of the alliance, Zhang Fei will resolutely destroy himself and others for the benefit of his eldest brother, so as to kill people and let Liu Bei continue to pit Cao Cao.

"Let's go and meet General Zixiao!" Xia Houlan didn't say a word and chose her next direction.

Now it's impossible to go back to Runan, it's better to go directly to Cao Ren.

Xia Houlan's change of direction is undoubtedly a correct choice, but it is also because of this choice that it has led to a very serious consequence.

After Zhang Fei and Gao Shun rested for the night, they gave the soldiers a full meal when it was dark the next day. People are iron and steel, and if they don't eat a meal, they will be hungry and panic, not to mention the march with huge physical consumption, how can they win a battle without a full stomach.

Zhang Fei and Gao Shun hurried again. After a night's rest, the soldiers' spirit and physical strength were very full, and the speed of the march was very fast, far beyond Zhang Fei's expectations.

In fact, Zhang Fei used Liu Bei's soldiers and horses to consider the time of marching, and he never thought of the actual combat strength of Liu Yu's soldiers and horses. This is also due to habit, and Zhang Fei cannot be blamed for his miscalculation. How could Liu Bei's soldiers and horses be on a par with Liu Yu's. The treatment, welfare, and morale between the two armies are not of the same rank. Liu Yu's people are all yearning to join the army, and after making military achievements, they can glorify their ancestors, be exempted from labor and the like, plus Liu Yu's generals have always been relatively fair, and there are few situations where the merits and rewards are privately swallowed, and the most important thing is that Liu Yu's training is very sufficient, plus constantly winning battles, the soldiers have accumulated a lot of actual combat experience. It is strange that such a unit is not combat-ready. On the contrary, except for some elites under Liu Bei, most of the others were strong men to fill the number. Liu Bei was bumpy and displaced, not to mention winning battles to accumulate experience for the soldiers, it would be good to have enough training time.

Originally, Zhang Fei was going to rush to Runan in a day and a night, but it only took one day to arrive, and he just saw the shadow of Runan City at dusk.

Gao Shun immediately asked the soldiers to buy time to rest and recover their lost physical strength, and his plan was to take advantage of the night to give a surprise attack on Runan City.

Gao Shun has discovered the true situation of Runan City now, because Cao Jun in Runan City did not realize that Liu Jun would suddenly kill here, and Xiahoulan did not return to Runan, the current Runan is still the same as usual, and the defense is very lax. Such a great opportunity, how could Zhang Fei and Gao Shun miss it.

About an hour later, the sky was completely covered in night. Zhang Fei and Gao Shun led their troops to slowly approach Runan City in secret.

For example, the defenders of the southern city did not notice the arrival of enemy troops outside the city at all.

When Liu Jun was very close to Runan City, Cao Jun also discovered an abnormality. But this discovery is a bit late.

"There are enemies!" The soldiers of the Cao army defending the city shouted frantically.

"Kill into Runan! Annihilate the Cao army! Discovered by Cao Jun, Zhang Fei and Gao Shun were no longer sneaky, and directly put on a posture to attack Runan City.

Zhang Fei and Gao Shun stormed Runan City, cut the drawbridge before Runan City could form an effective resistance, and opened the city gate in one fell swoop, killing Runan City.

The Cao army in Runan City was simply a plate of scattered sand, and when he saw Liu Jun enter the city, he fled directly into the wilderness.

Zhang Fei held the Zhangba snake spear and kept killing the fleeing Cao Jun, killing very happily.

Gao Shun led the trapped camp to continuously expand the results of the battle, and wiped out the Cao army in the city little by little.

In one night's effort, the entire Runan City fell under the control of Zhang Fei and Gao Shun. Cao Jun fled, and if he couldn't escape, he surrendered directly and became a prisoner of Liu Jun.

"Haha! Rejoice! Zhang Fei hasn't been so happy and proud for a long time, and he hasn't tried the taste of victory for a long time.

Gao Shun frowned and didn't speak, as if he had found something wrong.
