That is, time, Zhang Fei no longer has the slightest resentment towards Zhuge Liang, and all he has in his heart is respect. Pan Feng watched it from the sidelines, and he also sincerely admired Zhuge Liang. The same is true of the rest of the generals and ministers.

Liu Bei watched Zhuge Liang use troops for the first time, not only defeated Xiahoudun, but also won the hearts of the people, this means is so high that Liu Bei is also extremely admired.

Subsequently, Zhuge Liang led his troops into the city under the cries of the people of Xinye and accepted the applause of the people. Many people even gave supplies as a token of respect. Zhuge Liang politely refused, and said to the people that he was ordered by the emperor's uncle to protect Xinye, which was his duty, how could he dare to accept gifts. As a result, Zhuge Liang won the admiration of the people again. When the military horses of the various departments are settled, Liu Bei will hold a banquet in the city to reward the meritorious people, which is naturally not a problem.

However, it was said that Xiahou was defeated and returned to Fancheng, regardless of the persuasion of everyone, with serious injuries, he came to see Cao Ren by himself, and fell to the ground to ask for death. Cao Ren was shocked when he saw that Xiahou was covered in blood and red, and his left eye was even more blind. Then asked Cheng Yu on the side, Cheng Yu told the past and knelt down to ask for guilt.

After hearing this, Cao Ren's face became a little more worried, so he spoke to appease Xiahoudun and Cheng Yu, temporarily release the two of them, and give them the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

"Yuan let you use soldiers since you were a child, don't you know the reason that arrogant soldiers will be defeated. If it weren't for Cheng Zhonglang's prudence, even if you have the courage to be invincible, you will not be able to escape! If you die in battle, the prime minister will be heartbroken, ignore the affairs of the northwest, and overturn the army to attack Xinye! Even if Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others can be killed at that time, it will be a great opportunity to conquer the northwest in vain! ”

Xiahou was full of remorse in one eye, and kowtowed.

Cheng Zhonglang once said this, I only cared about fighting at the time, I didn't listen, and I regretted it! Fortunately, Cheng Zhonglang Bujun was cautious later, and Han Hao desperately came to save him, so he was able to escape. ”

Cao Ren listened to the words, and he appreciated Cheng Yu and Han Hao. Cheng Yu and Han Hao thanked them. After that, Cao Ren and Jia Xu glanced at each other, and Jia Xu said intently.

"Liu Bei is so rampant, and he is really troubled. However, this person has the help of Zhuge Liang's great talent, thinking that Jiao has turned into a dragon, and he should not be impatient and take it, but should be cautious. ”

"What the military advisor said is reasonable. This Zhuge Liang is so good, we should be cautious. ”

After Cao Ren finished speaking, he ordered all generals to fight at the moment, and not to act rashly and mistakenly fall into the treacherous plans of the other army. The generals wrote it down and regarded Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang as their great enemies.

A few days later, Cao Ren ordered Cao Chun and Cheng Yu to lead 3,000 troops to guard Fancheng, and Xiahoudun was seriously injured and returned to Luoyang to recuperate. Cao Ren led 37,000 soldiers and horses, divided into three armies, with Xu Chu and Gao Ran as the front army, leading 10,000 tigers and leopards to ride, Zhang Jaw as the middle army, leading 6,000 sword and gunners and 4,000 crossbowmen. Cao Ren and Jia Xu pressed the rear army, led 10,000 sword and shield men, 7,000 crossbowmen, and escorted them to the grain and grass baggage. The 37,000 Cao army rushed to the Xinye realm upside down. There were already scouts reporting to Xinye, and Liu Bei heard that Cao Ren really led the army to come, and hurriedly asked Yu Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry, his face was flat, as if he had a good plan in his heart.

I saw Zhuge Liang gently shaking the goose feather fan and smiling at Liu Bei.

"The lord doesn't have to worry, the mountain people have their own clever plans."

"The military advisor actually has a strategy to deal with the enemy?"

Liu Bei's face was shocked, and he was even more surprised by Zhuge Liang, and secretly paid in his heart, no wonder the nursery rhyme said that if Wolong and Phoenix Chicks get one, they can calm the world. Earlier, although Liu Bei saw Zhuge Liang's strategy, he was also skeptical, but now he can really believe seven points.

Zhuge Liang then whispered in Liu Bei's ear and said so and so. The more Liu Bei listened, the more surprised he became, and exclaimed.

"Hahahaha! If according to the strategy of the military advisor, Cao Mengde will not dare to peep again!! ”

That night, Zhuge Liang gathered all the generals to listen to the order, and all the generals knew that Zhuge Liang was capable, and they did not dare to make a mistake, so they all listened carefully. Two hours later, Zhuge Liang's distribution was decided, and the generals were ordered to go.

However, it was said that Cao Ren led the troops all the way forward cautiously, and all the dangerous areas were first sent to scouts before they marched, although the march was slow, but it was safe.

Cao Ren and Jia Xu were in the rear army, and they didn't see Zhuge Liang arrange for a long time, and both of them were suspicious. This Zhuge Liang strategy came at hand, knowing that the army was pressuring the territory, how could it not be arranged? The more this was the case, the more cautious Cao Ren became, and it took a lot of days before he entered the realm of Xinye.

On the way, Jia Xu kept a deep face, feeling that there was something wrong with this. After entering the Xinye realm, Cao Ren saw that Jia Xu's face was still like this, so he spoke and asked.

"Why is the military advisor so worried, could it be that he has discovered Zhuge Liang's plan?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said.

"Definitely. The governor is so cautious, then Zhuge Liang understands people's hearts, so he naturally will not design rashly. Xu just thinks that our march is so slow, at this time Fancheng's troops are empty, if Zhuge Liang sees that we are afraid and sends troops to take the opportunity to take a detour, Fancheng is lost, and we wait for the back road to be cut off, and the army's morale will be in chaos! In this way, Zhuge Liang sent troops from Xinye to take advantage of the situation to kill, and our army will be wiped out! ”

If Cao Ren hadn't gone through the previous defeat and Xiahoudun's defeat, most of them would laugh at Jia Xu and disturb himself. But now Cao Ren knew that Zhuge Liang was powerful, and when he was reminded by Jia Xu, he suddenly became anxious and hurriedly asked.

"If so, what should I do? Teach me, Hurry up! ”

Jia Xu's eyes shimmered, although he was under Cao Cao's command, although he rarely had a plan, so that the light was gradually suppressed by Guo Jia. But this does not mean that Jia Xu, who is known as the 'poisoner', has lost his ability to Guo Jia. Jia Xu quickly made a layout and said to Cao Ren.

"Now send a fast horse back to Fancheng, just in case. If Zhuge Liang wants to defend Xinye, he will not dare to send more troops and horses, according to my expectation, there will be more than 10,000 at most. ”

Cao Ren thought about it and felt so. Immediately ordered the front army, ordered Gao Ran to lead 5,000 tigers and leopards to rush back to Fancheng, and at the same time ordered Zhang Jaw to send 3,000 sword and gunmen to join the front army. Each general was ordered to deploy separately, and after Cao Ren made a good layout, he continued to lead the army to Xinye.

32,000 Cao troops spread all over the mountains and fields, pressing towards Xinye. Liu Jun scouted and reported to Liu Bei. Liu Bei had prepared in advance, Zhuge Liang smiled, and then asked Liu Bei to go out to meet the enemy. Liu Bei led the army out of the city, first met with Xu Chu's former army, and the two armies set up a good position, and the two formations were in a circle. Pan Feng went out to call the general to answer, and his huge body frightened Cao Jun.

"Help the evil thief, why do you repeatedly violate my Xinye realm!!?"

When Xu Chu heard this, he was furious, and without saying a word, he slapped his horse and flew away, and took Pan Feng directly with his knife. Pan Feng waved the one hundred and eighty pounds of mountain-opening giant axe to meet Xu Chu. Xu Chuhu's eyes widened, and with a knife, he went to Pan Fengmian Gate to kill. Pan Feng's body was huge, but he was extremely agile, he dodged sharply, and an axe flew and slashed towards Xu Chu's waist. Xu Chu shouted loudly and raised his knife to block it, Pan Feng's strength was really terrifying, and Xu Chu only felt that his arm was numb for a while.

At this moment, Pan Feng drew a giant axe and struck again. Xu Chu abruptly avoided the big axe. Suddenly, Xu Chu burst into a huge momentum, the whole person was like a giant tiger with teeth and claws, and the knife swing was like a raging storm, forcing Pan Feng to turn from offensive to defensive. As soon as Xu Chu's offensive stopped, Pan Feng attacked again. The two of them became more and more anxious, and the soldiers on both sides watched intently and exclaimed again and again.

The sound of knives and axes collided non-stop, and gradually the two of them had killed for more than a hundred rounds, but they still couldn't tell the winner. Pan Feng split Xu Chu's tiger head knife with an axe and shouted.

"Xu Zhongkang, do you dare to change horses and fight again!?"

"Why don't you dare, I'm afraid you won't dare to fight!"

Xu Chuhu's eyes were fierce, and his fighting spirit was high, and he had the momentum to fight Pan Feng for another 300 rounds. The two of them then returned to the formation, changed horses, and rested for about half a pillar of incense.

Xu Chu got up, unloaded his armor on the spot, was full of muscles, lifted a knife naked, turned over his horse, rushed to the front of the battle, neighed loudly, and invited Pan Feng to fight. The two armies were horrified. Pan Feng's face was cold, and his phoenix eyes narrowed, and he immediately got on the horse and carried an axe to fight Xu Chu. The two horses rushed to each other, and the two fought to more than 30 times, and in an instant, Xu Chu Fenwei raised a knife to cut Pan Feng's head, Pan Feng dodged quickly, and an axe slashed at Xu Chu's chest. Xu Chu also dodged in a hurry. The two of them continued to attack, and in the Liu army's array, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel worried, lest Pan Feng have some losses. Zhuge Liang was also surprised and sighed beside him.

This Xu Zhongkang was named the Tiger Marquis by Cao Mengde. Seeing its battle today, the offensive is like a tiger pounced, even if it is a hero such as the second general, it is difficult to take it down, I see that the evil fighter is not as good as Xu Chu, the real tiger idiot! ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he was even more worried in his heart, and hurriedly threw his eyes at Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang bowed slightly, and Liu Bei ordered the soldiers to blow the horn of Mingjin to collect the troops. Pan Feng heard the sound of the horn, attacked wildly, swung his feet, and rushed back to the back of the formation. Xu Chu knew that Pan Feng was good, so he didn't dare to chase it, and when he saw Zhuge Liang's banner in the other army's array, he didn't dare to rush in. Therefore, the soldiers were not ordered to take advantage of the situation to pursue.

At night, Zhang Jaw and Cao Ren led their troops to arrive and set up camp. Cao Ren gathered the generals to discuss in the tent, and Xu Chu told him about the battle earlier today, Cao Ren frowned and said.

"Pan Wushuang's martial arts are extraordinary, and the prime minister is quite afraid of him, this time in the battle of Xinye, the prime minister has already reminded him that he must beware of the two of them in the battle before the battle. One is Pan Wushuang, and the other is his brother Zhang Yide. ”

"Why should the governor grow up others and destroy his own prestige! Tomorrow I will take Pan Wushuang's head and dedicate it to the governor!! ”

Xu Chu was angry when he heard this, and shouted angrily. Cao Ren saw Xu Chu's fighting spirit, sighed secretly in his heart, and then glanced at Jia Xu again. Jia Xu smiled slightly and immediately said a plan.

"If the Tiger Marquis wants to fight tomorrow, when this is the case, he will definitely be able to capture that Pan Wushuang!!"

Xu Chu listened to the words and remembered in his heart that his words would be done according to the plan.

The next day, Xu Chu led the army to Liu Junzhai to fight, Pan Feng flew out of the horse, and the two generals saw each other, like enemies meeting, and immediately rode horses to meet and fight. Xu Chu killed Shuhe, and suddenly slapped his horse and retreated. A sneer curled on Pan Feng's face, and the secret way was really as the military advisor said, he reined in the horses and didn't chase them. Xu Chu originally wanted to lead Pan Feng to chase after him, and then ordered the crossbowmen hidden under the sword and shield to fire arrows in unison, and then threw flying stones to injure Pan Feng first, and then waved his army to chase and kill. But Xu Chu didn't expect that Pan Feng seemed to see his plan, and he was in a hurry. Cao Ren saw that Jia Xu's strategy was unsuccessful, so he ordered Zhang Jaw and Han Hao to attack together. Hua Xiong and Wen Ping, who were in Liu Jun's formation, had been waiting for a long time, and immediately commanded the two wings of the iron cavalry, rampage, and killed the future. Cao Bing was in chaos. Xu Chu was entangled by Pan Feng, and later Hua Xiong came, Xu Chu fled in a hurry, was slashed in the back by Hua Xiong, and yelled in pain and left. The generals of the Cao army retreated into the village in a panic.
