"General!"

Cao Ren's eyes shouted and he never left Dongwuyang again, and when he heard the call of his subordinates, he just said softly: "Go!" ”

"Let me stay! Checkmate! ”

"No, you have to live with the hope of all of us! Because only by living can we tell the world that we are not afraid of the Ming army, and we have not completely failed! ”

Cao Ren's last sentence was almost a roar, calmed down a little, glanced at it lightly, and the soldier beside him said lightly: "Go!" ”

The soldier didn't say anything more, just tightened the things in his arms, and turned around and left without hesitation. What no one saw was that there were two more ravines and many spots on his dusty armor, as if it had rained down.

"Whew~"

Cao Ren let out a breath and felt his whole body relax. looked at the setting sun in the west, and then looked to the south, as if he saw Xuchang City, the familiar figure in the Prime Minister's Mansion-

"Big brother, be a brother again in the next life!"

Retracting his gaze, Cao Ren's whole person changed instantly. It was like a rusty iron sword that was instantly stripped of its shell, and a dazzling brilliance emanated from it, just-

This is not only dazzling, but also ...... Death!

Zhang Hu rushed out of the city and happened to bump into Cao Ren, who was also killed.

"Kill!"

Without saying a word, Cao Ren immediately turned the horse's head and pounced on Zhang Hu.

Zhang Hu also smiled coldly and greeted him.

The difference is that after most of the Cao army that attacked with Cao Ren was killed, Zhang Hu and Cao Ren did not immediately act after they fought again.

Cao Ren doesn't care what Zhang Hu wants to do, he can delay it for a while.

"Come on, I'll give you a chance to go head-to-head."

Cao Ren felt a little confused when he heard this, what is this for?

Previously, although the two had been fighting, soldiers from both sides harassed from time to time, which was not a heads-up. And now, it's him, it's him Cao Ren who has fallen into disadvantage, why do you want to give up all your advantages and go head-to-head with him?

Zhang Hu gave him the answer: "You are a general who is truly fearless of life and death, and you deserve such an honor." ”

Cao Ren suddenly realized, and then asked a surprising question: "Then aren't you worried about the general's soldiers taking the city?" You know, it's miles away from the city walls! ”

Zhang Hu realized at this time that he unknowingly let Cao Ren take him away from Dongwuyang, which also made him admire Cao Ren even more. suffered a dark loss, but Zhang Hu didn't care, and said: "Afraid? No, Ben would have believed they could hold the city. ”

Then he said with emotion: "General Cao Ren is worthy of being a person that even His Majesty attaches great importance to, and he is really powerful!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Ren couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "Gong...... Did Emperor Ming really say this? ”

Zhang Hu nodded and said, "According to what my father said, His Majesty once said to several governors in the army, 'Cao Mengde's use of troops has always been nowhere to be found, and he is as cunning as a fox. And if you ask who is most similar to Cao Jun, it is Cao Zixiao. If you encounter it, you need to be cautious. ’”

"Hahaha!"

Cao Ren laughed heartily and said: "It is an honor to be so praised by Emperor Ming!" ”

At this moment, Cao Ren seemed to have abandoned everything, no longer hostile to Gongsun Du, but like an old friend.

Zhang Hu didn't care about Cao Ren's deliberate delay, smiled faintly, and just looked at him.

Cao Ren suddenly smiled, and said in a deep voice: "Come on, let Ben General see how capable you are?" However, Cao Ren has a doubt in his heart, that is, who is the father in Zhang Hu's mouth?

Zhang Hu stretched out his long knife, and his eyes looking at Cao Ren instantly became dangerous. Suddenly, the left hand holding the reins shook and rushed out in an instant.

"Kill!"

Cao Ren shouted at the same time and greeted the general.

With a "poof", the two officially handed over. It was also at this time that Cao Ren found that Zhang Hu had exerted less than fifty percent of his strength at most.

Are you hiding your strength?

Cao Ren didn't believe in evil, so he turned around and quickly slashed out three times. This is his strongest three knives, even Xu Chu once said that if Cao Ren's three knives are not paid attention to, he may end up in the point of losing his head.

However, Zhang Hu took it steadily, which shocked Cao Ren. As everyone knows, Zhang Hu was even more surprised, he thought he had figured out the details of Cao Ren before, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"It's amazing!"

"You're not bad either!" Cao Ren replied that he refused to suffer at all.

Zhang Hu said awe-inspiringly: "So Ben will go all out to send General Cao on the road!" ”

"Really?"

Cao Ren pointed to his head and said coldly: "Cao's head is here, if you have the ability, come and get it!" ”

"Kill ......"

Zhang Huqing snorted and pounced. Cao Ren was not to be left behind, and raised his sword to greet him.

As soon as they fought, Cao Ren felt wrong: what a lot of strength!

How did he know that he had such strength, it was not Zhang Hu's birth, but that the food in the Ming army was good enough, of course, there was a little talent, but if he couldn't eat enough, how much talent could he have.

Looking back, is it only because of the armor and equipment that the Ming army can be so strong, because Gongsun Du loves the people like a son and is highly supported? No, absolutely not! The most fundamental reason is that everyone can be fed and clothed, especially children can thrive. A strong physique is one of the fundamental reasons for their strength.

If this is not the case, where will there be heavy shields and heavy horses. You must know that the number of heavy shield soldiers and heavy cavalry in the Ming army has all exceeded 10,000 people, and now there are almost 20,000, and they are the best of the best, and 20,000 people after strict selection.

Therefore, after Zhang Hu has a good growth environment, as well as the excellent bloodline inherited from Zhang Liao, his strength has reached an extremely high level, although it is not as talented as Zhang Fei and Lu Bu, but it is only one level lower than them. In other words, he's already at the top of his talent.

And Cao Ren is obviously not a talented person like Zhang Fei and Lu Bu, and it is understandable that he was defeated in strength.

But Cao Ren didn't understand, and he didn't have time to understand.

When Zhang Hu attacked with all his might, Cao Ren found that he had no power to fight back, and could only barely block the attacking blade to save his life.

Sonorous~

Another hard fight, Cao Ren and Zhang Hu opened a distance of three feet. In this short period of time, a question popped up in Cao Ren's mind: A little-known guy in the Ming army has such strength? So how many such people will there be?

Without waiting for Cao Ren's heart to feel remorse, Zhang Hu pounced again, he didn't want Cao Ren to have a chance to rest.

"Dingding......

There is a way to keep it for a long time and you will lose! Cao Ren was also like this, more than a dozen rounds passed in a row, and the hasty and frequent pick-ups consumed a lot of his energy and made him tired.

I couldn't help but show a flaw!

A trace, but enough to kill!

Zhang Hu seized the opportunity and slashed Cao Ren in the waist. If Cao Ren hadn't dodged in time, I am afraid that he would have been cut off half of his waist. Rao was like this, and he was also cut out of a palm-long wound.

After the knife, Zhang Hu did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but put away the knife and looked at Cao Ren, and said with respect: "General Cao, you have done everything you can, even if you lose, it is not your fault." Now as long as you put down your blade, Ben will keep you safe. ”

Cao Ren didn't expect that at this time, he would actually persuade him to surrender. Yes, surrender, although these two words are not mentioned, but for a general, how is it different from surrendering to lose his blade?

Showing an ugly smile, Cao Ren said firmly: "The general's soldiers have already set foot on the Huangquan Road, how can the general abandon them!" ”

Zhang Hu was silent for a long time before he said, "Okay! Today's matter should have been reported to the Governor as it was, and then forwarded to His Majesty. ”

Cao Ren smiled indifferently, covering the wound on his waist with one hand and raising the knife in his hand with the other.

"Kill!"

The killing intent in Zhang Hu's eyes was unprecedentedly strong, and it was approaching, and he slashed out with all his might. Cao Ren raised his sword to block, but it was blown apart, and the blade came out of his hand, and then the head on his neck rose to the sky.

"Bang~"

Cao Ren's head fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and stopped not far from Cao Ren, just looking at the south quietly. Zhang Hu didn't look back at him, but said softly: "Goodbye!" ”

Dongwuyang was not captured in the end, Cao Ren's strategy was indeed good, but the strength of the Ming army was not comparable to them. It's just that, just as Cao Ren was unwilling to surrender, none of the 30,000 soldiers who attacked the city surrendered this time, all of them died, and none of them survived.

Zhang Hu led people to rein in Cao Ren and all his subordinates, and flew pigeons to pass the book to Gao Shun.

Gao Shun continued, just after a little hesitation, he flew to report to Gongsun Du.

Gongsun Du continued, ignoring the obstruction of the ministers of the court, and issued an order to posthumously crown Cao Renwei -

Loyal and brave marquis, plus a mighty general!
