Chapter Seventy-One: The Angry Yellow Beard

"Bang!"

With the final farewell of the father and son, Pang Hui did not hesitate, his momentum soared, and he slashed out, which can be described as a change of color.

Seeing this, Pang De's sword eyebrows froze, and he immediately swung his sword to block the blow.

The blow failed, and the father and son fought together, but it was Pang Hui's main attack, and Pang De had been defending and had not used all his strength.

After all, tiger poison does not eat children, not to mention that Pound is ashamed in his heart, and he did not make a move on his son.

"Bang bang."

As the footsteps behind him sounded, Pound's ears and eyes moved, and he said softly: "Later, from now on, you and I, father and son, will be separated." ”

"I hope to take care of your mother, and I am ashamed of you for my father!"

As soon as these words fell, Pound flew out in an instant and fell straight into his own army.

Immediately, Pang De got up with difficulty and shouted: "The whole army, quickly retreat and move closer to the major general." ”

As the Jingzhou army slowly retreated, Pang Hui stared at Pang De's figure in front of him, his eyes moved slightly, and he held back his tears without shedding them, and did not give the order to pursue.

On 21 September, Guan Ping and Xiahou Shang confronted each other east of Xutian for more than a day, and the Xudu side finally ushered in a turning point.

Three thousand elite horsemen have arrived, and not only that, but Cao Zhang, the Marquis of Yanling, who is in the north of the earthquake, has also galloped under the horse and entered Xudu City.

Xu Capital City.

"Eldest brother, after my brother received your urgent battle report, he immediately sent his father to the king, and then rushed back non-stop."

"What's the matter, is the situation under control, my brother hasn't come back late, has he?"

In Wang Shizi's mansion, Cao Zhang, who was burly at this time, panted and said.

Seeing this, Cao Pi couldn't help but show a hint of concern, and chuckled: "Ziwen, you must have been tired all the way to the dust, right?" ”

"You go back to the house to rest and rest first, and when you recuperate, you will lead three thousand elite horsemen out of the city tomorrow and defeat the Jingzhou army in one fell swoop."

Hearing this, Cao Zhang's face suddenly became resolute, and he said in a loud voice: "Eldest brother, now the battle situation is urgent, my brother doesn't need to rest, he can immediately lead the army to kill and crush the thieves in Jingzhou." ”

"I hope to allow my brother to fight!"

For a while, Cao Zhang ignored his physical and mental exhaustion and directly asked for battle.

"No, Ziwen, you came back from Chang'an all the way, how can you immediately go into battle to fight?"

"Listen to my brother, go back and rest first."

"At present, Boren is leading the crowd to drag down the Jingzhou thief army, and the situation is not hindered for the time being!"

"Big brother!"

Seeing this, Cao Pi suddenly showed displeasure on his face, and said coldly: "Ziwen, go home!" ”

With Cao Pi's order, Cao Zhang was also helpless, so he was ordered to retire and return to his house to rest.

Waiting for Cao Zhang to leave, Cheng Yu, Hua Xin and other ministers slowly entered the mansion and bowed: "The ministers see the son!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, excuse me!"

After some politeness, Cao Pi waved his hand and said: "Hua Shangshu, Cheng Hou, now that Ziwen and Jingcai have arrived, can our army go out of the city to fight." ”

Hearing this, Hua Xin said first: "Childe, the second son's courage is unpredictable, and the three thousand elite cavalry are also strong, cooperating with General Xiahou's two thousand foot soldiers. ”

"Xinxiang, it's not difficult to annihilate the enemy army!"

When the words fell, Cheng Yu thought about it from the side, and also said: "Son, the old minister thinks that this time let the second prince lead the army to fight, and let him force Guan Ping to Biyang territory, not to exterminate the Jingzhou army in the suburbs." ”

"Cheng Hou, what do you mean by this?"

"Childe, due to the beginning of the Battle of Xiangfan, our army has not had the spare strength to harvest rice, but now that it is about to enter winter, and to avoid long nights and dreams, we should immediately start arranging a bumper harvest."

"Therefore, the old minister suggested that the Jingzhou army be compressed to the territory of Biyang, and then we will recruit people to harvest rice."

As Cheng Yu spoke, Hua Xin nodded frequently, and also gave his hand: "Son, Cheng Hou is reasonable!" ”

"Okay, since that's the case, then when the battle goes out tomorrow, Pi will inform Ziwen."

Hearing this, Cao Pi also said softly.

………

East of Xutian, plain.

At this moment, the two armies were camping and confronting each other, dragging out time, and after a while, there were bursts of "stampede" sounds in the distance.

In the middle of the sound, the scouts on both sides rushed back to their main formation, reported the military situation, and made a report, but Xiahou Shang suddenly showed joy.

On the other side, Guan Ping listened to the military situation, his face remained unchanged, touched the faintly visible green beard under the E, and muttered: "The reinforcements of the Cao army have arrived, or thousands of knights?" ”

"It seems that Cao Pi really wants to wipe out our army!"

With a sigh, Guan Ping then ordered softly to the guards from the side: "You two go quickly to inform General Sun, and let him lead the crowd to Rushui first, find our hidden warships, and then answer us." ”

"No!"

Immediately after, Guan Ping continued to turn his head to look at Pang De from the side, and said: "Pang De, Zhao Zhong, you two, each lead an army to attack left and right, and lure the enemy army to march in the direction of Xu Tian." ”

"Ben will be a striker, and he will retreat to the direction of Xu Tian first."

"No, no!"

The order was passed down, and Pang De and Zhao Zhong agreed and took the order.

Immediately, the two led the army to fight one left and one right, and Guan Ping led the main force to retreat quickly.

A cannon sounded, and as Pang De and Zhao Zhong fought with Cao's army first, they fought and retreated, and the two armies gradually marched in the direction of Xu Tian.

Early the next morning, the south gate of Xudu, at this moment Cao Pi and the ministers gathered on the city, Cao Zhang was dressed in military uniform, holding a long knife, standing majestically at the city gate, behind him was magnificent, already ready to go three thousand fine horses.

After a while, Cao Pi walked out first with a sword, faced Cao Zhang, and shouted: "Ziwen, my brother will be waiting for you to lead the army out of the city today, defeat the Jingzhou thief army in one fell swoop, and return triumphantly!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Zhang's face was also happy, and he shouted: "Don't worry, eldest brother, my brother will live up to your hopes and will return triumphantly." ”

"All the Great Wei soldiers, raising the army for a thousand days, at this time, I have been silent since the first battle broke the Saihu, and there is no sheath."

"Today, the thieves in Jingzhou are not self-sufficient, they come to attack our army, soldiers, and crush them!"

"Oh, kill, kill."

For a while, as Cao Zhang waved his knife and roared, the three thousand elite horsemen under his command also raised their guns and shouted.

At this moment, this elite cavalry once again raised its spirits and shouted angrily, once again proving to everyone that they were invincible and led the enemy to blood.

"Kaesong, attack!"

In the next second, Cao Zhang shouted loudly and ordered.

"Squeak, squeak."

The city gate slowly opened, and thousands of knights followed behind Cao Zhang, galloping out and rushing to the outskirts.

"Stomp, stomp!"

The earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves sounded, and this elite horse seemed to burst out of the air like a bloody tiger!

Xutian direction.

"Hahaha!"

"Guan Ping, look at it, the Marquis of Yanling in the north of the Weizhen Saibei has already led thousands of elite cavalry to rush to kill, and today you and the Jingzhou army will be destroyed here."

"Acquaintances, if you return as soon as possible, you will definitely be not guilty of the past, otherwise, today next year will be the death sacrifice you are waiting for."

Outside the field, looking at the dust in the direction of Xudu, and listening to the earth-shattering sound of war hooves, Xiahou Shang couldn't help but be more and more overjoyed, so he looked at the Jingzhou army on the opposite side and persuaded him to surrender.

It's just that Guan Ping showed a sneer on his face and said lightly: "Really? ”

"Xiahou Shang, don't be too happy, the show has just begun!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiahou Shang and the others couldn't help but wonder, Guan Ping is now cornered, why is he still so confident?

It's just that after thinking about it for a while, Cao Jun and the others are still puzzled!

"Okay, Guan Ping, I'm going to see what tricks you have in place."

At this moment, Xiahou Shang was laughing, and his words were full of sarcasm.

He doesn't believe that today's Guan Ping still has a strategy to turn defeat into victory.

After all, in less than half an hour at most, Cao Zhang would be able to lead 3,000 elite cavalry to arrive, and then join forces with his infantry to launch a fierce attack on the Jingzhou army.

Xiahou Shang did not believe at all that the combat strength of the Jingzhou army would be so strong that it could withstand the impact of the elite cavalry led by Cao Zhang.

After thinking for a while, Xiahou Shang still looked the same as before at this time, full of confidence in his own victory.

And the source of his self-confidence is the three thousand elite horses.

"Guan Ping, the three thousand elite horses of the Marquis of Yan Ling are fleeting, and you can't escape no matter what you do today."

Subsequently, Xiahou Shang continued to provoke.

Xu Tian is at least more than 20 miles away from Rushui, and the Jingzhou army is all foot soldiers, even if they run and evacuate with all their strength at this time, they will inevitably be caught up by the elite cavalry.

Then, a big defeat was inevitable!

Seeing this, Guan Ping's face was gloomy, and he said lightly: "Who killed the deer, especially I don't know!" ”

"Okay, let's wait and see!"

When the words fell, Xiahou Shang didn't say much, looking at the rushing knights who were gradually approaching, and began to order a formation, ready to attack the Jingzhou army at any time.

As for this moment, Guan Ping was also secretly estimating the timing, and then quietly ordered: "Zhao Zhong, be ready at any time and act according to the plan!" ”

"No!"

Hearing this, Zhao Zhong also took the order to retreat and began to prepare.

Gradually, the sound of horses' hooves shook the sky from far and near, and the momentum became more and more vigorous.

At this time, in the distance, every step forward of the three thousand elite riders was as if the earth was trembling!

"Stop, whole army!"

After half a ring, three thousand elite horsemen arrived on Xu Tian Road, and with a wave of Cao Zhang's long knife, thousands of knights suddenly stopped forming a formation like arrows from the string.

The formation is extremely strict, the momentum is like a rainbow, and the order is forbidden!

Immediately, Cao Zhang's horse took a few steps forward, stood proudly on the road, and said in a loud voice: "Guan Ping, the son of the King of Wei of the Han Dynasty, Cao Zhang, the Marquis of Yanling, is here." ”

"I came with a divine soldier, and if you wait for the thieves to dismount and surrender as soon as possible, when will you wait?"

There was a loud shout, and the sound was extremely high, and it spread for miles.

Seeing this, Guan Ping, opposite Xu Tian, ordered softly: "Zhao Zhong, the time has come, look at the eyes of the general in a while." ”

After giving some orders, hundreds of soldiers in the Jingzhou army formation stood with torches held high.

Immediately, Guan Ping also echoed: "Hahaha, who should I be here." ”

"It turned out to be Cao Cao's traitor's yellow beard!"

With a hearty laugh, Guan Ping shot back forcefully, but as soon as these words came out, Cao Zhang's face turned blue in an instant, and suddenly the strong momentum in his body suddenly burst out.

"Guan Ping, you dare to provoke this general, today, I swear to kill you and take your head!"

Suddenly, Cao Zhang shouted angrily.

Huang Xu'er, because of the long yellow beard under the E, so on weekdays, his father Cao Cao is nicknamed Huang Xu'er.

And because he is brave and unfathomable, he is deeply loved by Cao Cao, so every time he fights, he will shout "Huang Xu'er" to fight.

However, if anyone else called this title except his father Cao Cao, Cao Zhang would be very angry.

At this time, Guan Ping's sarcastic words came out, and Cao Zhang was already angry to the extreme.

"Xiahou Shang, form a formation, cooperate with Benhou Jingcai, and prepare to attack the Jingzhou army."

With an order, just as Cao Zhang and Xiahou Shang were about to attack, suddenly, something happened suddenly!

"Bang bang bang!"

In just a few moments, hundreds of soldiers in the Jingzhou army formation came out of the ranks, and then struggled to throw the torches in their palms into the field.

"Whew!"

In an instant, the torch touched the dry rice, and in an instant, it evolved into a raging fire, and looking at this posture, there was also a trend of intensification.

Seeing this, Cao Jun and the others were frightened, and they couldn't understand why all of a sudden, Xu Tian was on fire.

"What's going on?"

For a while, when Xiahou Shang saw this, he couldn't help but gasp, his face full of disbelief.

Although it is the golden autumn season and the rice is dry, it is not so easy to cause a major fire.

"Could it be that the fields are covered with oil?"

After thinking for a moment, Xiahou Shang was terrified for a moment, he didn't expect that Guan Ping led the crowd to lure him away yesterday in order to spread fire oil in the field and destroy Xu Tian.

Originally, he was still saying that Guan Ping was so cooperative, but now with the fire, he suddenly woke up.

However, it was too late, and the rice contaminated with fire oil was ignited, and the fire spread throughout the field.

Soon, the flames spread directly to the road, completely blocking the two armies and cutting off the route of Cao's army to the Jingzhou army.

Seeing this, Guan Ping suddenly showed great joy, stepped forward with a knife and laughed: "Haha, Huang Xu'er, Huang Xu'er, I didn't expect it, you just returned to Xudu, and the general gave you a surprise." ”

"What, this surprise is still satisfying?"

For a moment, Cao Zhang was already extremely angry, his fists were clenched tightly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Guan Ping thief, you are despicable and shameless!" ”

At this moment, Cao Zhang and Xiahou Shang really didn't expect that Guan Ping would destroy his land and destroy his Great Wei foundation.

It must be known that Xu Tian has always been the largest tuntian land, and has always been the foundation for maintaining Cao's army's military grain and grass, and now once it is burned by fire, it will be difficult to recover, and the military food in the coming year will be greatly affected.

Seeing the flames blazing the plains, Guan Ping was overjoyed and shouted: "Huang Xu'er, I have delivered the gift, and then I will no longer accompany you, go first!" ”

When the words fell, Guan Ping waved his big sword, and the main army gradually walked away towards Rushui.

As for the Cao army on the opposite side, they were unable to get out, the road was blocked by the flames, and they had no way to pursue the enemy.

Looking at the burning fields and countless rice grains destroyed, Cao Zhang couldn't help but shout: "Guan Ping, I am inseparable from you in this life!" ”

At this moment, Xiahou Shang also led the crowd to join the elite cavalry, and then said to Cao Zhang: "Second son, quickly arrange for the soldiers to return, and let Pi Gongzi start to arrange manpower to come to fight the fire." ”

"Otherwise, Xu Tian's foundation will be destroyed!"

Xiahou Shang also said in a hurry at this time, as for the Jingzhou army, it had already arrived at the shore of Rushui, boarded the ship that had been waiting for the shore for a long time, and then headed south in the direction of Biyang.
