Only Pan Feng and the three broke through, but even so, the three generals just escaped death, and Pan Ping had more than a dozen wounds on his body, large and small, covered in blood. And Hua Xiong was also very embarrassed, his armor was torn countless times, and there were knife marks and muzzles on his legs, abdomen, and arms. As for Pan Feng, there are also not light injuries on his body. Xi Zhicai secretly saw it in his eyes, bowed his hands, and smiled indifferently.

"I have heard that Pan Gong is a peerless general, and when I see it today, if this is the case. If the right talent does not have the courage of Pan Gong, even if the law is filial piety and can have a way to break the formation, it will be difficult to succeed. Admire, admire. ”

When Pan Feng heard this, his phoenix eyes narrowed into two sharp thin lines, and said coldly.

"Your formation has been broken by me, and this formation is indeed a victory for our army!!"

Pan Feng won, but it was extremely desolate. Xi Zhicai smiled, and responded very chicly.

"Indeed, as General Pan said, now you and my two armies have one victory and one loss, and this battle should be considered a draw. You and I are our own masters, we all have heavy responsibilities on our bodies, and we are not willing to stop here. Since it is a tie, you should choose another way and then divide the winner and loser. ”

When Pan Feng heard this, his face changed, his eyes stared at Xi Zhicai, and asked in a cold voice.

"What do you think!?"

"Wait!!"

At this moment, Fa Zheng suddenly hurried over with a look on his horse. Fa Zheng said sharply in Pan Feng's ear.

"Although our army was able to break through this formation, Pan Gong and the two generals were both injured. If he wants to fight the general, it will be very bad for our army. If the general really wants to divide the victory and defeat, he can choose to fight. ”

The previous Ma Dai brought out more than 2,000 white-eared elite soldiers from Guanzhong City. Now that Zhang Ren is dead, this white-eared elite soldier is temporarily commanded by Pan Feng. And Zhang Ren's death made the white-eared elite soldiers deeply hate the Tang people and take revenge. If you want to fight, even if you are riding against the black wind, you have a lot of chances of winning. Pan Feng also seemed to understand the deep meaning of Fa Zheng, and with a condensed expression, he said again with Xi Zhicai.

"How dare you fight!?"

When Xi Zhicai heard this, he smiled playfully, his eyes suddenly showed a little disdain, and he deliberately annoyed Pan Feng and said.

"A certain person who has heard that Pan Gong is a heroic person who is upright and knows etiquette, but he didn't expect to be such a rude villain. Last time, our army asked you to choose first, and you chose the battle formation first. According to etiquette, it should be our turn to choose this round! ”

When Pan Feng heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted angrily.

"If you want to choose, you can choose, I will accompany you, why such nonsense!!"

When Fa Zheng on the side heard this, his color changed, and when he wanted to stop it again, Xi Zhicai had already scrambled to speak.

"A certain choice of fighting generals, Pan Gong can dare!"

"Accompany you to the end!"

Pan Feng almost didn't think about it, and replied with his head bowed. Fa Zheng responded at this time and hurriedly shouted.

"No! Shicai broke into the battle this time, and the generals of our army were all injured, and you took advantage of the weakness to enter, and you won't be martial!! ”

As soon as Fa Zheng's words fell, Guan Yu's eyes froze, and his murderous anger was soaring. Xi Zhicai secretly looked at him to stop it, and then replied to Fa Zheng with a smile.

"The two armies have their own battles, and your generals are wounded, but their ability is insufficient, how can you rely on people? Could it be that you and other Shu people are all gutless rats, afraid of war and retreating!? ”

"Why don't you dare!! Dou Po is!! ”

Pan Feng drank sharply, and without waiting for Fa Zheng to answer, he responded again. Xi Zhicai listened to it with great joy. Unexpectedly, Guan Yu suddenly rode forward, raised his hand, and said in a cold voice.

"If there is a fight, it must be fair. Pan Wushuang, you have been injured before, and now you and your soldiers have added new injuries. Guan disdains to take advantage of you. How about fighting soldiers first, and then fighting generals? ”

As soon as Guan Yu said this, Pan Feng's face couldn't help but change. The two pairs of phoenix eyes looked at each other, but they were both heroes who recognized heroes. What kind of character Guan Yu is, even if Pan Feng is in his heyday, he does not dare to underestimate the enemy. At that moment, Pan Feng also replied.

"I have heard of Guan Gong Shengde, and I saw it today, and it turned out to be so. admired it deeply, so he followed what Guan Gong said. ”

"How do you want to fight?"

Guan Yu was unmoved by Pan Feng's praise, and asked coldly. At this time, Fa Zheng whispered a few words in Pan Feng's ear. Pan Feng listened and replied.

"The two armies each take a thousand men and horses, regardless of the type of troops, and do not need generals, how about fighting in Japan?"

Guan Yu listened to the head of the chin a little, and then reined in the horse and left. When Xi Zhi saw it, he sighed helplessly, Guan Yu was so arrogant, something would happen sooner or later.

Guan Yu and Pan Feng discussed and decided, so the two armies withdrew their own troops. This battle seems to be defeated, but if you really think about it, it will naturally be regarded as a victory. After all, the hundred horsemen led by Pan Feng were all damaged, and the three soldiers were each injured. At that time, if Illegality had sent troops to help in time, and Guan Yu led troops to cover up and kill, Pan Fengsan would have died. But now that the outcome has been decided, there is no need to take it seriously.

That night, in Guanzhong City, all the armies went to rest. Guan Yu is discussing with Xi Zhicai in the city's government. At this time, Xi Zhicai no longer decided to fight the soldiers without permission in Guan Yu, and then entangled. After all, Guan Yu is the commander in charge of the army, and Xi Zhicai also understands Guan Yu's arrogance. If you want to fight, there is no doubt that Guan Yu will choose the Black Wind Horse to fight. And Pan Feng said that generals could not be used, and Guan Yu naturally could not lead the army, and the two were discussing the selection of generals.

"Hua Xiong, as well as Pan Feng's false son Pan Ping, are all injured. Tomorrow, Pan Feng will definitely send Ma Dai to command the troops. This man has been fighting with his brother Ma Mengqi for seven or eight years, acting decisively and with high martial arts. At the same time, the white-eared elite soldiers of the other army are not idle, if there is no one who is wise and brave and commanded, only the black wind cavalry is not its opponent. ”

When Guan Yu heard this, he frowned, since the formation of the Black Wind Ride, he has often won more with less, and he has never been defeated, which is one of Guan Yu's proud capitals. What's more, Guan Yu regards every Black Wind Rider as his own flesh and blood. Guan Yu can't tolerate the defeat of the Black Wind Ride, and he can't tolerate the Black Wind Ride to lose one person and one ride!

Guan Yu held his beautiful hair in his hand, and his eyes were as sharp as a blade, and he said in a condensed voice.

"Although E Huan has the courage of being invincible, he is impatient, and if he is taught to lead troops, I have a lot of concerns. But except for Ehuan, there are no soldiers in the army who are Nama Bozhan's opponents. According to the opinion of the military advisor, what should be done? ”

When Xi Zhicai heard this, he suddenly smiled and said softly.

Guan Gong's words are wrong. Deng Shizai is good at martial arts, and he is thoughtful, cautious, and quite knowledgeable about the way to use soldiers. If you send this person to lead the troops, you can be sure that nothing will go wrong. ”

"Deng Shizai!?"

Guan Yu's pair of thick lying silkworm eyebrows furrowed, and shook his head.

"Although this son has a bit of martial arts, he is still young, and he has little experience in war, I am afraid that he is not as experienced as Ma Bozhan."

Xi Zhicai smiled brightly, seemed to appreciate Deng Ai very much, and said in a deep voice.

"Guan Gong doesn't need to worry too much. But I still remember that in the past, I called Deng Ai and E Huan to capture the Cangcheng Pass, and not long after the two captured the pass, Ma Bozhan led troops to attack. Later, although the two reported that they were two people and tried their best to break it, in fact, I knew that E Huan had an impatient temper, so I asked the soldiers, only to learn that E Huan was almost wrong at that time, but Deng Ai had planned to repel Ma Dai. I don't expect this son to fight for merit, lest E Huan be angry with him, hurt the feelings between his comrades, and report it truthfully. ”

"Oh? How could such a thing happen!? ”

When Guan Yu heard this, his face changed slightly, he held a beautiful hair in his hand, and a little smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Xi Zhicai smiled but did not speak. Guan Yu pondered for a while, and then said to Xi Zhicai.

"In this way, according to what the military advisor said, I will teach this Deng Ai to lead the army tomorrow. I have to take a good look at what this son is capable of to be so valued by the military advisor. ”

The night passed in a blink of an eye. At the next day, Deng Ai was ordered by General Guan Yu to go to the city to pay a visit. On the way, he happened to meet Ehuan. As soon as E Huan saw Deng Ai, his ugly face showed a somewhat strange look and blocked the way to greet him. Deng Ai whispered a few words to the accompanying soldiers, and then walked to Ehuan and bowed first. E Huan waved his hand and asked angrily.

"Where are you going!?"

It turned out that since E Huan heard yesterday that the two armies were going to fight, and heard Pan Feng say that the generals of the two armies were not allowed to participate. E Huan was secretly happy when he heard this, thinking that if Guan Yu did not command the army, this world-shattering black wind rider should be led by him. So after E Huan returned to the city, he waited for Guan Yu to summon him. Unexpectedly, he waited all night, but he didn't see Guan Yu to summon him. Unknowingly, at dawn, E Huan couldn't bear it, so he wanted to come and take the initiative to ask for help. Deng Ai looked at E Huan's eyes were bloodshot, thinking that he must have had a sleepless night. Deng Ai is a thoughtful person, and when he thinks about it, he can guess seven or eight. Deng Ai didn't hide it, and replied in a condensed voice.

"General Hui, this morning Guan Gong suddenly sent someone to summon him, and he was about to go to restore his life."

When E Huan heard this, his face changed suddenly, and his eyes were even more complicated, with a look of resentment and incredulity. E Huan stretched the whole ugly, glared at Deng Ai viciously, and asked anxiously.

"Really!?"

"How dare you hide it."

Deng Ai was calm and replied indifferently. E Huan's eyes rolled, what is the truth now, it has not yet been decomposed, and he first suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to Deng Ai.

"That's a coincidence. I was about to go to the general and talk about the fight. You and I will go together. ”

After E Huan finished speaking, without waiting for Deng Ai to answer, he took a big step and walked in the direction of the county office. Seeing this, Deng Ai shook his head helplessly, glanced at the accompanying soldiers, and followed. A group of people walked on the bluestone street, the shops on both sides of the street have opened, and many people have left their homes. Guanzhong City is the county town of Brazil, and the land of Jingzhou and Yongzhou, although it is not as prosperous as Chang'an, but it has a strong style of Shu. The fragrance of oil cake and tea wafted around, Deng Ai looked at the scene everywhere while hurrying, and thought in his heart that if this place was included in the territory of the Tang Kingdom in the future, under the unique business policy of the Tang Kingdom, it would inevitably be more prosperous, and the people here would be able to live and work in peace and contentment.

Although the Western Tang Dynasty was established not long ago, but since Wenhan divided Hedong and merged with the state, Tuntian was heavy on business, and the foundation of the Western Tang Dynasty had been set, and later when Wenhan attacked Yongzhou and Liangzhou, Wenhan issued a policy to encourage the merchants of Hedong and Bingzhou to develop to the west, and at that time, the two places passed through Tuntian, and there was abundant grain. Wen Han had sufficient troops, and the businessmen from the two places had no worries and went one after another. When the country was founded, everything fell into place. The Western Tang Dynasty was powerful, except for the Wei country, which had been in the Central Plains for a long time, Wu and Shu were difficult to compare. Therefore, in Deng Ai's mind, Wen Han has always been the Ming Jun like the ancient emperor. Deng Ai is convinced that in time, Wen Han will be able to dominate the country, end these years of turmoil, and bring peace and prosperity to the land of China.

Deng Ai thought about it, and unconsciously came to the mansion. Guan Yu was waiting for Deng Ai, but heard that E Huan had also come to visit. Guan Yu frowned and glanced at Xi Zhicai. Xi Zhicai frowned and shook his head.

"It seems that this ugly tiger must have come to ask for battle. If Guan Gong refuses, it chills this person's heart. ”

When Guan Yu heard this, he summoned E Huan and Deng Ai to enter together. After a while, the two entered the temple. After the salute, E Huan's spirit was shocked, his eyes were bright, and he shouted loudly.

"I was deeply inspired by the Tang King's acquaintance, and I was willing to repay him by dying. A certain is willing to lead troops to fight with the other army, if there is negligence, willing to receive military orders!! ”

E Huan's voice was loud, and the entire hall seemed to shake. Guan Yu saw that E Huan was high-spirited, holding his chin and hair, and bowing his head slightly, Danfeng's eyes already showed a little approval. Guan Yu didn't answer, and then looked at Deng Ai, but saw that Deng Ai was unmoved, so he didn't come to fight for it. Guan Yu thought that Deng Ai was afraid of war, and his bare face couldn't help but feel a little more displeased, snorted coldly, and asked Deng Ai.

"Deng Shizai, do you know why I summoned you to see you?"

When Deng Ai heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and replied.

"If Guan Gong has an order, just give the order, and he is willing to serve it!"

When Guan Yu heard this, he stared at Deng Ai coldly and condescendingly, and suddenly asked.

"I have heard that you are a wise and brave general, and today I made an appointment with Pan Wushuang to fight, and I want to send you as a general to lead the army to meet the enemy. But when I see you, you don't have the courage to be brave, and you really disappoint me! ”

When Deng Ai heard this, his expression froze, and he replied unhurriedly.

The general was angry. A certain is a general, everything should be obeyed by military orders, will want me to go to kill the enemy, I should be brave as the first army, never retreat. If you want me to defend after being cut off, I should fight to the death, and I would rather cut off my head than give up a place of proportion. The general is the head of the three armies, and I am the general. I only have to obey, and if there is anything wrong, I can persuade him, not disobey the commandment. This so-called military order is like a mountain! ”

"Hmph, clever words are like springs, and Yan is thick!"
