Hua Xiong's eyes froze, as if he sensed Lu Kuang's plan, and while chasing after him quickly, he was also on guard in his heart. When Hua Xiong approached, Lu Kuang suddenly picked up the gun, turned around suddenly, and stabbed Hua Xiong in the heart. Hua Xiong had already prepared, and with a quick flash, he dodged Lu Kuang's shot.

"Little thief, if you dare to insult my lord, I will take your dog's life now!"

Hua Xiong drank sharply, raised the knife and waved, his hand raised the knife and fell, the blade passed, the corpse was separated, and Lu Kuang was cut off the horse. Lu Kuang wanted to return the horse pistol, but was hacked to death by Hua Xiong. His soldiers were immediately panicked and frightened. Seeing this, Liu Bei quickly led the army to cover up and kill, and the other army was defeated. Lu Xiang couldn't resist the enemy and led a remnant of the army to escape.

How do you know that Lu Xiang just escaped not far, and the first army on the side of the road was prominent, headed by a general, wearing silk armor and holding a thunder gun, it was Tai Shi Ciye. Tai Shici led the army to rush and kill, but Lu Xiang did not dare to attack, so he fled after taking the road. Tai Shici covered up and killed in the back, and Lu Xiang broke most of his troops and fled in a panic. Lu Xiang was frightened and undecided, and he couldn't travel more than ten miles, when suddenly a cannon rang out, and another army blocked the way. The head of the general, with a leopard's head and eyes, holds a Zhangba snake spear, the sound is like thunder, and the spear is yelling.

"Zhang Yide is here! The thief is not going to get off his horse and die!! ”

This will be exactly, Liu Bei's third brother Zhang Fei. After Zhang Fei finished drinking, he slapped his horse and speared, and went straight to Lu Xiang. Lu Xiang was caught off guard, and before he could react, he was stabbed in the throat by Zhang Fei with a spear, screamed, turned over and fell off the horse and died. The remnants scattered in all directions. Liu Bei came from behind and joined the two armies to chase after him, and most of Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang's troops were captured by Liu Beijun. Liu Bei received more than 3,000 surrendered troops, and received countless heavy materials, so he returned to the county. Reward Shan Fu, and reward the three armies.

During this period, Shan Fu, in order to be loyal, told Liu Bei's real name. It turned out that when Shan Fu was young, he was a righteous and thin cloud hero, eager to learn fencing, and successful in learning art. once killed a friend to avenge his friends, and then Shan Fu walked away with his hair and face painted, and was captured by the government. The officials did not answer when they asked him his name, but tied him to his chariot and beat the drum in the city, and now the people of the city know him, although those who know him dare not speak, and his companions steal and rescue him. It was to change his name and flee, and then Shan Fu saw the chaos in the world, and it was difficult to reform the troubled times with swords and guns alone. Shan Fu then abandoned martial arts and literature, turned his knots to learn, visited famous teachers, and worshiped Sima Hui as his chief apprentice. Shan Fu's real identity is Xu Shu, a native of Yingchuan, and the character is straight.

Liu Bei knew about his past, not only did he not blame Xu Shu for concealing it before, but he also praised him for his affection and righteousness for avenging his friends in previous years. When Xu Shu heard this, he was quite moved in his heart, and he only felt that Liu Bei knew his heart and was even more loyal to Liu Bei.

However, it was said that the defeated army returned to see Cao Ren and reported that Erlu was killed by Hua Xiong and Zhang Fei respectively, and nearly 3,000 soldiers in the army were captured alive. Cao Ren was shocked and consulted with his brother Cao Chun. Cao Chun was very cautious and admonished.

"Brother, our army is newly defeated, and his army is fierce. Today, it is only advisable to press the army, declare the prime minister, and raise a large army to recruit and suppress, which is the best policy. When Cao Ren heard this, he was slightly displeased and said coldly.

"Not really. The second general was killed in battle, and many military horses were killed, and this revenge must be avenged. If this matter is reported back to Luoyang, you and I will lose face! What's more, in the land of the new wild projectile, why not the army of the prime minister? ”

"How can my brother ignore the overall situation because of his personal face. Although Liu Daer has few soldiers, there are many capable people under his command, Pan, Zhang Taishi, and Hua four generals, all of whom have the courage to be invincible, and take the head of the enemy general within the army, like a bag of prospects. A few years ago, there was a detailed report, and Liu Da'er commanded a capable person. This person is unfathomable, and the defeat of Erlu is due to the fact that this person designed the strategy. Liu Da'er has the help of this person, like a tiger with wings, and cannot be taken lightly. ”

"Brother Chun, you have always dared to fight bravely, how can you say such discouraged words today that will destroy your own prestige! It's hard for you to be timid about big-eared thieves! ”

Cao Ren suddenly shouted, Liu Bei has rarely won since he raised his mind, and he has been displaced for most of his life, living a life of being chased and killed everywhere. In particular, whenever Liu Bei encounters Cao Cao's forces, he will inevitably be defeated and retreat. Therefore, in the eyes of the Cao generals, Liu Bei was just a clown jumping off the beam. Cao Ren is the head of Cao Cao's generals, if the defeat of Erlu is reported back to Luoyang, Cao Ren's reputation will inevitably plummet!

Therefore, Cao Ren is bent on winning a big victory to cover this shame!

Cao Chun didn't know that Cao Ren was afraid that his position would be shaken. I saw him shake his head slightly, and then he spoke.

"The so-called knowing each other and knowing oneself is the only way to win all battles. If the younger brother is not cowardly, he is afraid that he will not be able to win. ”

At this time, Cao Ren could listen to persuasion, but he was angry and roared violently.

"What Brother Chun meant by saying that I am not that Liu Da'er's opponent!? I have fought the world with the prime minister all my life, and I have never been defeated, and now if I can't capture Liu Da'er alive, I will never return to Luoyang! ”

"Not good! Brother's stubborn temper is here again! At this time, the prime minister is not here, but I am afraid that no one can persuade him! ”

Cao Chun didn't expect his words, but instead aroused Cao Ren's temper, his eyes were shocked, and after secretly paying for a while, he hurriedly said.

"If my brother goes, he will stay in Fancheng to guard against accidents."

"No! I want you to go with me, and see for yourself how I catch the big-eared thief!! ”

Cao Chun was helpless, and it was useless to persuade him, so he had no choice but to raise 25,000 military horses with his brother Cao Ren and cross the river to join Xinye. However, at the same time, Cao Chun was afraid that Cao Ren would go away in anger and be defeated, so he secretly sent someone to send an order to Luoyang to report to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao received Cao Chun's report and was shocked when he learned that Cao Ren was angry and attacked Xinye. Cao Ren is a man who has a good command of the army and is well versed in the art of war, and he is a rare handsome talent. It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao promoted Cao Ren to the head of the military generals and entrusted him with more important tasks. But no one is perfect, and Cao Ren also has a fatal flaw, that is, arrogance. If Cao Cao is by his side, Cao Ren still knows a little restraint, if Cao Cao is not there, Cao Ren will be guilty of this shortcoming, and it will definitely cause a big disaster.

Cao Cao was very familiar with Cao Ren, and immediately sent Xu Chu to lead a fast horse, take his handwritten letter, and rush to Xinye. However, it was said that Cao Ren was angry, so he raised the troops of his headquarters, 25,000 soldiers and horses, and crossed the river in a starry night like an earth-shaking earth, intending to set foot on the land of Xinye.

It is said that not long after Liu Bei returned to the county in victory, he was happy to be assisted by Xu Shu, a talented man who helped the world, and he was expected to build a great cause in the future. And Xu Shu showed his talents, Pan Feng, Zhang Fei, Tai Shici and other generals were extremely impressed and willing to be commanded by him.

Liu Bei was ambitious, stepped up the recruitment of troops in Xinye, and while beware of Cao Cao, he secretly planned how to seize the territory from Liu Biao, accumulate the general momentum as soon as possible, and plot the world.

Just when Liu Bei was trying his best to plan for the future. Xu Shu suddenly came to look for him and told Liu Bei.

"Cao Rentun's soldiers in Fancheng have been in the city for a long time, and its intention is to explore the wind for Cao Cao to go down to the south of the Yangtze River. Cao Ren is a general under Cao Cao, and his reputation is so high that he is powerful in his army. In addition to Cao Cao, the most respected soldier should be this person. Because of this, Cao Ren is proud in his heart and will never allow his reputation to be damaged. The lord has always been defeated by Cao Cao, and Cao Jun despises the lord. This time, Erlu was killed, and most of his soldiers and horses were captured by the lord. Cao Ren felt that he had lost his prestige, and he would raise a large army to fight. In order to win a great victory, to destroy the lord, to cover the previous shame. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he was immediately shocked, Cao Ren used his troops like a god, and he was a famous victorious general in the world. Liu Bei was afraid of Xinye, and was overturned by his soldiers and horses, so he hurriedly asked.

"Cao Zixiao is a person who understands the art of war. In the past, I heard Cao Cao personally say that if it comes to marching and fighting, even if he is not necessarily Cao Zixiao's opponent. This person's ability to use troops is better than Cao Mengde's. Strategist, how should I welcome him!? ”

"Huh. Don't panic. I've got a trick up my sleeve. ”

Xu Shu's eyes were bright, and he looked confident, Liu Bei saw this and hurriedly asked.

"The military advisor has already made a plan, let's talk about it quickly."

Xu Shu smiled brightly, giving people a strange feeling that even if the sky fell, he had a plan to save him. I only listened to Xu Shu say slowly.

"Cao Zixiao came with anger, anger is chaos, chaos is easy to make mistakes. He is afraid that he will not be able to give full play to his talents. If this is the case, why should the lord be alarmed? And Cao Zixiao raised all his troops and horses to kill, Fancheng was empty, and we could take advantage of it. As soon as Fancheng was lost, Cao Zixiao defended the base camp and naturally retreated. ”

Liu Bei's eyes were exposed again and again when he heard this, and he hurriedly continued to ask again. Xu Shu whispered in his ear, so and so.

"Hahaha, okay!! The military advisor is really a god and a man! ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed, and said yes in a loud voice, paying more attention to Xu Shu in his heart, obeying his words, and preparing in advance according to what Xu Shu taught.

A few days later, Liu Jun's scouts came to report.

"Newspaper!! Lord!!! Cao Ren led the army and crossed the river. His army marched quickly, and the villain waited for his footsteps, and he would arrive at Xinye City in half a day. ”

The Liu Jun scout, his face full of panic, his eyes full of fear. However, Liu Bei was determined and looked at Xu Shu. Xu Shu smiled slightly.

"As I expected. This Cao Zixiao really came quickly! ”

"Fortunately, the military advisor is like a god, and he has long calculated that Cao Zixiao will inevitably urge the army to rush to the army, and he will inevitably rush to the Xinye realm within three days, and teach me to prepare early. Otherwise, at this moment, I will be caught off guard by the army led by him! ”

Liu Bei praised unabashedly. Xu Shu was not shocked, smiled with his chin bowed, and then asked Liu Bei to send troops to meet the enemy. Cao Ren led the troops to catch up, and the footsteps, horses' hooves, and soldiers in the army were shocked

G sound, shaking the sky and shaking the sea, the military might. At this moment, the wind and dust were rolling in front of him, and Liu Bei led five or six thousand soldiers and horses to usher, which was very inferior to Cao Ren's most of the men and horses. When Cao Ren saw Liu Bei arrive, his face turned cold, and he secretly laughed that Liu Daer didn't know whether he was alive or dead, so he ordered the soldiers to set up a formation and prepare. Liu Bei also ordered his soldiers to fight and prepare to be killed. Soon after, the two formations faced each other, Liu Bei cast a look at Hua Xiong, Hua Xiong comprehended, and fought before rushing out of the formation.

Cao Ren knew that Hua Xiong was good, and he didn't dare to fight easily, and after reviewing the battle, he asked who dared to fight. Gao Lan, one of the four courtyard pillars in the river in the past, came out in response, Cao Ren's face was happy, Gao Lan's martial arts were extraordinary, and he should be able to resist Hua Xiong, and then said a few words in Gao Lan's ear. Gao Ran's jaw was ordered, and then he swung his sword and flew away. The two horses rushed to each other, Hua Xiong slashed with a round of broken dragon knife, Gao Ran held the knife to separate, and then swung hard to swing away Hua Xiong's broken dragon knife. Hua Xiong was frightened and shook his spirit, suddenly broke the dragon knife, and stabbed directly at the door of Gao Ran. Gao Ran hurriedly avoided it, shouted, and waved his knife at Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong either blocked or avoided, and as soon as the Gao Ran offensive stopped, Hua Xiong attacked again. The two of you went back and forth, killing about dozens of rounds, and the soldiers on both sides were shocked.
