Cao Cao also did not order to go out of the city to cover up the killing, and allowed the Jiangdong armies to withdraw to his village. The two armies fought fiercely for a day, the sky gradually darkened, and the red yellow light shone on the city of Xiapi, only to see the city of Xiapi up and down, the corpses were all over the ground, and the blood stains were stained. A fresh breeze blew, as if they were all stained with a strong smell of blood.

The cruelty of war seems to make people gradually numb, and there are more flesh and blood knives and guns, and it is not so terrible. The soldiers and civilians of Xiapi City seized the rest and prepared to deal with tomorrow's war.

Cao Cao stood on the battle tower, watching the scene on all sides, and the tragic scene was like in his heart, lingering. The soldiers guarding behind Cao Cao stood silent. After a long time, Cao Cao left.

Let's say that Zhou Yu collected his troops and returned to the village, and was discussing countermeasures with a group of civil and military forces in Jiangdong. Suddenly, a scout rushed into the account, and reported that Cao Ren, the general of the Cao army, suddenly attacked Qian County, Jiang Yin was captured, Yuzhou was lost, and all the soldiers and horses of the army in Yuzhou were destroyed. At this time, Cao Ren and Zhang Jaw, Cao Zhang and other generals are coming from Yuzhou, and they will soon reach the realm of Xiapi.

Zhou Yu's face changed drastically when he heard this, fortunately he had made preparations in advance, and expected that there was a high possibility of an accident in Yuzhou, so he first sent a team of scouts to Yuzhou to investigate. If not, as soon as Cao Ren's soldiers and horses arrived, they would attack his army from behind. Cao Cao, who was stationed in Xiapi City, would also take the opportunity to send troops to attack, and immediately suffer from the enemy on the back of his own army, which would inevitably be greatly damaged.

The current situation is extremely urgent for Zhou Yu, and all the generals have the heart to withdraw their troops. Zhou Yuhao's eyes narrowed, and he secretly noticed the expressions of the generals, and his heart was hesitant. Lu Xun attended and admonished.

"The bones of the lord are not cold, they are still in the hands of Cao Lao Thief, if our army withdraws, it will be laughed at by the world. The Metropolitan Governor but rest assured, Xun has a plan to teach Cao Lao Thief, and there is no place to bury him when he dies!! ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, his face suddenly turned ecstatic, and he asked quickly.

"The plan comes out of An, and Bo Yan comes quickly."

Lu Xun bowed slightly, his eyes were like torches, and he said in a condensed voice.

"Cao Zixiao's reinforcements are coming, there is a valley twenty miles southeast of Xiapi, which is the place where Yuzhou must pass through Xiapi, and can ambush elite soldiers. The Metropolitan Governor can prepare an offensive under the city in the near future. Cao Zixiao found out, and he would quickly send troops to attack, and immediately ambush troops everywhere, and break it with one drum.

Kill and disperse his reinforcements, and the Metropolitan Governor can return his own way to his own people, so that the army will break Surabaya, so as to force the old thief to abandon the city and flee. At that time, we only need to ambush the old thief in the place where he has withdrawn, and we will surely capture and kill the old thief in one fell swoop!! ”

Zhou Yu's face changed rapidly, his eyes were shocked, and he suddenly covered his palms and laughed.

"Hahahaha!! Bo Yan is a wonderful plan, your intelligence is high, it really makes the governor of Pontus feel inferior! ”

Lu Xun heard this, but he bowed very modestly and said.

"The Governor of the Metropolitan Governors praises it. Xun is a small talent, it is difficult to be elegant, how dare he compare with the governor. ”

"Hey! Bo Yan Hugh is arrogant, if you can capture and kill Cao Lao, it depends on your merits! ”

Zhou Yu stepped down, walked up to Lu Xun, and slapped Lu Xun's shoulder heavily, with admiration in his eyes. When he was young, Zhou Yu quickly issued orders to the generals according to Lu Xun's plan, and the generals took the orders and went to make arrangements urgently.

The next day, Zhou Yu ordered another heavy army to kill Xia Picheng, and 30,000 soldiers and horses were concentrated at the north gate to attack, but the offensive of all troops and horses was slow, and they were all bluffing. Cao Cao saw it in the city, his brows were deeply locked, and he didn't know what medicine Zhou Yu was selling in his gourd, so he ordered the soldiers to be cautious, and at the same time sent people to patrol around the city to guard against any changes.

Zhou Yu bluffed, like this for days, just when Cao Jun was puzzled. Cao Ren led 10,000 soldiers and horses to rush to the Xiapi realm. Cao Ren suddenly stopped the army and ordered a team of scouts to explore the battle. The scout team took the order and left, Chi Li entered, and arrived at the Jiangdong military village at night, when Zhou Yu had just collected his troops and returned to the village. Cao Bing's scouts saw that the attention of the Jiangdong army seemed to be on the capture of Picheng, and as soon as they returned to the camp, they rested and cooked, and did not take much precautions. Cao Bing scouts watched it for a long time, and quickly reported back to Cao Ren. When Cao Ren heard this, he was overjoyed, and quickly called the soldiers to rest for the night, recuperate, and launch an attack when the Jiangdong Army collected its troops and returned to the village the next day.

That night, Cao Zhang came to find Cao Ren and took the initiative to ask for help, willing to be a pioneer. Cao Ren raised his eyebrows, unconsciously recalling a certain period of the past. On that day, he was in Qian County, and when he saw that Cao Zhang actually captured Jiang Dongmeng's general Jiang Yin, he was extremely surprised. Later, I heard from the soldiers of Yuzhou that Xuchang City relied on Cao Zhang's martial arts to ensure that there was no loss. Only then did Cao Ren know that the third son of the Cao family had become a brave general in his own right. Later, Cao Zhang wanted to fight with the army, and Cao Ren also agreed to Cao Zhang's request. Because Cao Ren understands that if you want to become a general, you must go through the tempering of war.

"Uncle don't worry too much, the little nephew will definitely live up to his life!"

Cao Zhang saw Cao Ren groaning, thinking that Cao Ren didn't believe in his strength, so he hurriedly asked again. Hearing this, Cao Ren smiled slightly and smiled at Cao Zhang.

"Haha. It is the luck of the king that the third prince has such determination. But the war is not as simple as fighting fiercely, Zhou Gongjin is a genius of the world, and it is necessary to be more cautious when fighting with him. The so-called virtual is real, and the real is virtual. The Jiangdong army is unprepared, but it is possible that there will be an ambush on the way, and if our army is unprepared, it will be destroyed.

The vanguard is the head of an army, and its duty is particularly important, not only to fight bravely, to take the fighter first, but also to pay attention to the surrounding battle situation, and adapt to changes. If the third prince wants to take on this important position, he needs to be extremely cautious. ”

Cao Ren taught patiently, Cao Zhang listened carefully, he was talented and intelligent, and when he listened to it, he understood most of the truth.

"Uncle Jin Yu's good words, the little nephew must keep it in mind. If the uncle is not a little nephew, the little nephew is on call at any time! ”

"Haha. Good! The last general wants to take Zhang Junyi as the vanguard general, and the third prince is willing to be his deputy general? Zhang Junyi is courageous and thoughtful, and he is one of the few generals in our army. If you were on it, you would have learned a lot! ”

Cao Ren smiled brightly, Cao Zhang's eyes shone brightly, and he received his order at the moment. Cao Ren then summoned Zhang Jaw to see him and instructed the two of them one by one.

The next day, Cao Ren was ready to go, and by noon, he was moving. Zhang Jaw first led 3,000 elite soldiers, and Cao Zhang, Wang Yue and other generals took the lead. Whenever you reach a dangerous place, you must first do an investigation to determine the safety before you march quickly. Cao Zhang watched them one by one, and from time to time he would teach Cao Zhang.

When he was young, the vanguard of Zhang Jaw rushed to a valley, Zhang Jaw's face suddenly changed, and he ordered the troops to stop, so he immediately rode out of the battle and looked carefully around the valley. Cao Zhang saw that the valley was silent everywhere, and there was no ambush at all, so he rushed to ask Zhang Jaw.

"Why did General Zhang suddenly stop the process, did General Zhang find that there was an ambush in this valley?"

Listen to the words, and don't answer first. In his youth, the scouts reported that they had explored the valley and found no sign of an ambush. However, Zhang Jaw still did not order the soldiers and horses to continue the march. Cao Zhang's brows furrowed, and he wanted to ask again. Jaw opened and suddenly pointed to the jungle in the valley.

"Third son, look at that jungle, there are many broken branches, there are many notches in the grass that are trampled on, and there is a faint murderous aura in the valley. If I'm right, there's an ambush here! ”

Cao Zhang listened to the words, half-convinced, and asked urgently.

"If so, what now?"

The jaw of the tiger was shining, and he thought for a while, and said in a condensed voice.

"You can plan it and break this ambush. The last general first sent someone to report to the Chinese army, and when he was young, the last general would lead an army as bait, and the third prince would lead the remaining soldiers and horses to ambush around the valley mouth. When the last general enters the valley to earn the ambush army, the third prince will lead the ambush army to meet the head-on attack! Until General Cao's army arrived, he smashed the other army in one fell swoop! ”

Cao Zhang saw that Zhang Jaw was confident and did not dare to make a mistake, so he immediately followed Zhang Jaw's instructions and led troops to ambush around the valley mouth. After a while, Zhang Jaw led the army into the valley. Cao Zhang was outside the valley, concentrating and listening carefully.

About half a pillar of incense passed, and there was a sudden explosion of earth-shattering shouts of killing in the valley. Countless arrows broke through the air, and the sound of boulders falling to the ground erupted in turns. Cao Zhang's heart was terrified when he heard this, and he thought that if he were to lead the vanguard troops today, most of him would undoubtedly pass through this valley and fall into the ambush of the Jiangdong Army, and he would definitely suffer heavy losses at that time.

Cao Zhang thought in his heart, and he was unconsciously quite impressed by Cao Ren's foresight and the use of troops with open jaws. After Cao Zhang's thoughts, he ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle. After a series of loud noises, Zhang Jaw soon led his troops to flee out of the valley in a panic. Behind it, there was a group of soldiers and horses chasing after him, and the leader was the Jiangdong fierce general Xu Shengye.

Cao Zhang's spirit was shaken, and when he saw Xu Sheng's deployment rushing out of the valley, he immediately issued an order. At the moment, the drums were beating, and Cao Zhang waved his troops to kill Xu Sheng's deployment. Jiangdong soldiers were unexpected, and there was a big chaos. Zhang Jaw turned around angrily and patted the horse to fight, leading the army to attack Cao Zhang back and forth. I saw that Cao Zhang was very brave, dancing the huge Xuantie giant sword and rushing into the Jiangdong Army formation, dancing impenetrable, rushing left and right, like a fierce tiger pounced into the flock. Xu Sheng saw that a young general was killing all sides in his army, his tiger eyes glared, he shouted, and suddenly shot his gun and killed quickly. Cao Zhang was rushing to kill, and suddenly saw a general wearing a silver and yellow robe coming, grinning evilly, not afraid of the counterattack, rushing forward, and attacking first. Cao Zhang struggled to swing the Xuantie Giant Sword and looked at Xu Sheng with a slash on the head. Xu Sheng saw that the giant sword in Cao Zhang's hand was huge, and he thought that the offensive must be extremely heavy, but he didn't expect Cao Zhang's body to have divine power and swing it extremely quickly. The Xuantie giant sword smashed in, Xu Sheng hurriedly reined in his horse to avoid it, Cao Zhang's eyes were sick, he shouted, and slashed horizontally with his sword. Xu Sheng hurriedly put the gun against it, and with a violent 'bang', Xu Sheng and his horse were cut back several meters.

"This son is terrifying!!"

Xu Sheng's face was full of horror and looked at Cao Zhang. The evil smile on Cao Zhang's face was even brighter, and he slapped the horse and wanted to come over to fight. Xu Shenghu's eyes narrowed, his face was cold, and he suddenly greeted him. Cao Zhang slashed three swords in a row, and Xu Sheng avoided them with agility. As soon as the three-sword offensive stopped, Xu Sheng saw a gap behind Cao Zhang, and suddenly fired a gun and stabbed out. Who knew that Cao Zhang was deliberately exposed, dodged sharply, and before Xu Sheng could react, he slashed his chest with a sword.

Between the lightning and flint, Xu Sheng forced the potential in his body, bent over and dodged sharply, and the fierce sword wind blew over. Xu Sheng was frightened for a while, struggled to shoot a shot, swinged his feet, and retreated.
