Cao Cao listened, and just when everyone thought that Cao Cao would be angry and scolded Cao Ren, Cao Cao laughed.

"Hahaha!! Zhuge Pifu is really resourceful, and he deserves to be a lonely henchman! ”

Cao Cao laughed, and soon Dian Wei and Cao Hong also led the remnants of the army to arrive, and the two generals dismounted and knelt down to plead guilty. Cao Cao squinted his eyes and smiled, not as if he was not the slightest annoyed by the defeat. I only heard Cao Cao laugh.

"Victory and defeat are the norm in the military. Zhuge Liang is a masterpiece of the world, and his wisdom is high, which is not inferior to Jiang Ziya of Xingzhou and Zhang Zifang of Wanghan. You should take this defeat as a lesson from the past, and you must be cautious in dealing with any future battles against them, and you must not underestimate the enemy in the slightest!! ”

As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, the generals kept them in mind. Cao Cao did not dare to make the army rush again, so he ordered all the troops to go down to the village to rest and recuperate.

So, Cao Cao ordered the three armies to be more than 20 miles outside the city of Xiangyang, covering the mountains and fields, and according to the village. Zhuge Liang sent scouts to find out, knowing that Cao Cao did not dare to attack in a hurry, and immediately ordered the soldiers in the city to prepare all kinds of materials to defend the city in preparation for the upcoming offensive and defensive battles.

A few days later, Cao Cao urged the three armies, and ordered Xiahou Yuan to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to defend the camp, raise 80,000 troops, and slaughter Xiangyang City with great momentum. Zhang Fei heard that Cao Cao was leading troops to kill, and quickly asked Zhuge Liang for battle. Zhuge Liang saw that Zhang Fei was high-spirited, and it was not easy to frustrate his ambition, so he immediately ordered Zhang Fei to be cautious in everything and not to be careless about the enemy. Zhang Fei listened to Zhuge Liang's promise, laughed, and remembered it straight, but he didn't take Zhuge Liang's words to heart.

Zhang Fei then ordered 20,000 horses and infantry troops and led his troops out of the city to meet the enemy. When Cao Cao saw Zhang Fei leading his army out of the city, he immediately ordered the army to prepare for battle. When he was young, Zhang Fei also led 20,000 soldiers to set up a formation, and the two formations were in a circle. Zhang Fei got out of the horse, ran out of the formation, and pointed at Cao Cao with a snake spear and scolded loudly.

"Cao Mengde, the three generations of your Cao family are all Hanchen, and they are deeply favored by the emperor. But you are not greedy enough, you control the society, and hold the current saints hostage, you are really a deceitful and annihilating ancestors, a person who is false and righteous and shameless, how different is it from beasts!? ”

Cao Cao laughed angrily when he heard this, looked around at the generals behind him, and shouted.

"Who dares to go to war and kill this crazy man who doesn't know the height of the sky!!"

As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Xu Chu yelled, slapped his horse out in response, and went straight to fetch Zhang Fei. When Zhang Fei saw Xu Chu coming, he grinned and hurriedly slapped the horse to meet him. Xu Chu slapped his horse and danced with a knife to kill closer, and Zhang Fei fought with a spear. The two swords and spears flew and collided, and the offensive was fierce, the spear moved like a storm, and the knife moved like a sky-breaking force, twisting a fierce battle, killing the soldiers of the two armies in horror. Zhang Fei's eyes widened, Xu Chu opened his strange eyes, the two of them roared and roared, and they both used their weapons hard, fighting for fifty or sixty rounds, and the winner was not divided.

Zhang Fei's offensive was continuous and powerful. Cao Cao was shocked when he saw it, and looked back at the generals under the banner of the door.

"This Yide is not reduced by the courage of Wang Lu Bu back then!!"

Before he could finish speaking, an exclamation began left and right. Cao Cao hurriedly threw his eyes back, only to see Xu Chu struggling to slash out a knife, Zhang Fei was extremely sensitive, dodged, and at the same time a spear suddenly stabbed out, flying straight to Xu Chu's door. Xu Chu swung the knife sideways, and the snake spear collided with shock, with a loud bang, and sparks burst out. Xu Chu and his horse retreated a few meters, and Zhang Fei rushed to kill.

Seeing that Xu Chu was in danger, Xu Chu roared and slashed three times in a row with a knife. The first knife slashed the snake spear that Zhang Fei struck, and the second knife was raised, and once the knife was drawn, it suddenly slashed horizontally, Zhang Fei tilted his head, and the blade almost grazed the bridge of Zhang Fei's nose and rushed through. Zhang Fei was about to fight back, but the third knife came again quickly, and flew back towards Zhang Fei diagonally. The sound of the knife breaking was like the roar of a giant tiger. Zhang Feihuan's eyes were slightly shocked, and the muscles of his body rose suddenly, and a spear pierced out of the sky, and the sound of the spear breaking through the void was like a leopard roaring. Between the lightning and flint, the swords and spears collided, and the two of them fought hard, and the two faces became particularly hideous.

Zhang Feihuan's eyes glared, and with a snort, he suddenly withdrew the snake spear. Xu Chu was not in time, and the knife type was falling. Zhang Fei danced a snake spear and swept Xu Chu's chest, Xu Chu was swept by Zhang Fei, his strange eyes were about to burst, he endured severe pain, and slashed with a knife, splitting a violent spark on Zhang Fei's armor.

The spark flashed, and two horses neighed. The two of them retreated almost at the same time. Xu Chu glared at Zhang Fei and gritted his teeth, Zhang Fei stared at Xu Chu and grinned.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, and this black house martial arts is a little stronger!!"

Xu Chu thought secretly in his heart. At the same time, Zhang Fei was also thinking secretly.

"This Xu Zhongkang is still so difficult!!"

After a while, Xu Chu suddenly slapped the horse, and the horse retreated. Zhang Fei thought that Xu Chu was desperate and wanted to escape, so he grinned and laughed, and suddenly chased after him, shouting behind him.

"Xu Zhongkang, it's not a hero to escape!!"

Xu Chu ignored Zhang Fei's scolding, rode his horse and galloped, and at the same time secretly cast a look at Xiahou Yuan in the array. Xiahou Yuan comprehended, immediately held down the gun, grabbed the bow and arrow, and was ready to sneak attack at any time.

In the city, Zhuge Liang saw Zhang Fei chasing after Xu Chu, his face changed, and he shouted to Pan Feng beside him.

"Not good!! Xu Zhongkang still has the power to fight viciously, but he deliberately retreats, which must be a deception!! General Pan, quickly lead the army out of the city and prepare to respond! ”

When Pan Feng heard this, he was afraid that Zhang Fei would lose, so without saying a word, he immediately rushed down the city and led his troops out of the city.

said that it was too late and that it was fast, Xu Chu abruptly deliberately slowed down the horse's speed, and Zhang Fei saw that he was getting closer and closer, and it was when he was happy. Suddenly, Xu Chu turned around suddenly, and the tiger-headed broadsword flew up like a thunderbolt. Zhang Fei was shocked and hurriedly raised his spear to block it.

There was a loud bang. Xu Chu's knife was furious, and it split Zhang Fei and his horse apart. At the same time, a bowstring sounded and arrows flew, and when Zhang Fei found out that the dark arrow was coming, the arrow had already arrived in front of him.

Zhang Fei couldn't resist it, and the arrow hit Zhang Fei's helmet with a clatter. Zhang Fei screamed miserably and fell off his horse. Xu Chu was overjoyed and was about to get off the horse to cut Zhang Fei's head. Unexpectedly, Xu Chu just jumped off the horse, and Zhang Fei, who fell to the ground, suddenly attacked, like a black panther, and pounced on Xu Chu. Xu Chu didn't expect that this Zhang Fei was actually cheating to death, and when he came back to his senses, Zhang Fei's burly and huge body had already pounced. I saw that Xu Chu was knocked down by Zhang Fei, and a pair of casserole iron fists hit Xu Chu's head. Xu Chu was punched several times by Zhang Fei, only to feel dizzy for a while, knowing that he couldn't continue to be rampant by this Zhang Fei, otherwise he would be beaten to death by him. Xu Chu drank violently, grabbed Zhang Fei's wrist with both hands, and pushed Zhang Fei down with his lower back. The two grabbed and fought on the ground, and their robes were torn to pieces. When the soldiers of the two armies saw it, they thought that the two beasts and monsters were biting.

At this moment, two soldiers rushed out. It is Zhang Jaw and Xiahoudun. The two had already heard Cao Cao's military order and came to besiege and kill Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei heard the sound of horses' hooves, and knew that Cao Cao must have sent someone to surround and kill him. Zhang Fei was angry from his heart, and he was angry with his guts, gritted his steel teeth, roared, grabbed Xu Chu with both hands, and slammed into Xu Chu's door. Xu Chu was really hit, and screamed miserably, only to feel a roar in his head, his eyes were so painful that he couldn't open them, it was pitch black, and he was so angry that he punched and punched. Zhang Fei took the opportunity to escape, jumped back to his mount, saw Xiahoudun and Zhang Jaw killed, pulled out the horse and fled, and did not forget to smile provocatively at the two when he fled.

"Hahaha!! You wait more and bully less, you are not a hero. Grandpa Zhang won't accompany him!! ”

When Xiahoudun and Zhang Jaw heard this, they were so angry that they rushed to the crown, and directly taught Zhang Fei to stop the horse and fight. After a while, Xu Chu's eyesight recovered, and when he heard Zhang Fei's arrogant words, he was so angry that his liver and gallbladder were about to break, and he rushed straight to his mount, and patted his horse to chase Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei galloped all the way and retreated into the formation, seeing that Xiahoudun and Zhang Jaw were still coming, he immediately ordered the crossbowmen in the formation to shoot arrows, and thousands of arrows were fired at the same time.

After a while, Pan Feng arrived, stared at the phoenix, and looked over. Xu Chu also rushed to Xiahoudun and Zhang Jaw, and the generals of the two sides stared at each other. For a while, no one dared to kill easily.

Cao Cao was afraid that Xiahou Xuan, Xu Chu, Zhang Jaw and others under his command would lose, and ordered Xiahou Yuan and Dian Wei to go out to plunder. Pan Feng saw that there were another fierce generals in Cao's array, and he hurriedly threw his eyes with Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei comprehended and quickly ordered the army to retreat. Seeing the situation, Xiahoudun, Xu Chu, and Zhang Jaw immediately slapped their horses behind to cover up and kill, and chased for a while, Pan Feng and Zhang Fei rushed to fight to gain time for the army to evacuate. Pan Feng and Zhang Fei are extremely strong in martial arts, and Xiahoudun, Xu Chu, and Zhang Jaw can't break the two of them.

When he was young, Jingzhou soldiers and horses all entered the city. Cao Jiang came later, Pan Feng and Zhang Fei rushed to seize the road and fled together, and Xiahoudun, Xu Chu, and Zhang Jaw did not dare to chase and kill.

Cao Cao took the opportunity to drive the army to the city of Nanyang, and after Pan Feng and Zhang Fei entered the city, they closed their doors. Cao Cao quickly ordered an army of 80,000 to surround Xiangyang City,

Shouted and cursed the defenders of the city to fight. Zhuge Liang saw that Cao Cao was powerful, how could he easily go into battle, and ordered the soldiers to be closely guarded, but when he saw Cao Jun approaching, he immediately shot it with random arrows, and the flying stones rolled to block it.

Cao Cao personally rode his horse, approached to investigate, and saw that the moat was very wide, the water was deep, and it was difficult to approach the city. If it is attacked by force, it will surely suffer heavy losses. Cao Cao thought that Sun Ce would send troops to attack Jingzhou's belly and back at any time in Jiangdong, and he was not in a hurry to meet Zhuge Liang hard, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to carry soil and fill the trenches under the city, and mixed them with earthen cloth bags and firewood and grass, made a ladder on the edge of the city, and set up a cloud ladder to peep into the city. The defenders of Jingzhou in the city looked anxious, and Zhang Fei asked Zhuge Liang for battle many times, but Zhuge Liang was not necessarily impatient, but was calm and calm, and only taught Zhang Fei to be calm and not impatient, even if he had his own clever plan to deal with it.

It is said that Cao Cao personally rode around the city to see it, and explored the terrain around Xiangyang City, so for three days. Three days later, Cao Cao urgently sought out Guo Jia to discuss, and Guo Jia said with a smile.

According to the king, the color of the bricks and soil in the southeast corner of the city, old and new, and most of the antlers were destroyed, which must have been caused by the war of the old years. If the king gathers all his army and captures it, it will not take him one night to break through the female wall and enter the city. However, there are many defenders in the city, and with Zhuge Liang's wisdom, how can he not discover our intentions. If Zhuge Liang really hits the plan, the king immediately kills the army to the southeast corner, so that Xiangyang City can be broken!! ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile.

"Hahaha!! The plan of filial piety coincides with the willingness! ”

Cao Cao then ordered the soldiers to pile up firewood on the corner of the west gate, gather the generals, and go to the city there. Seeing such a situation in the city, Pan Feng and Zhang Fei hurriedly came to Zhuge Liang and told Cao Cao that he would gather 80,000 soldiers and horses to attack the West Gate, and persuaded Zhuge Liang to withdraw the soldiers and horses in the city to the West Gate to block Cao's soldiers.

When Zhuge Liang heard this, his eyes lit up, and he smiled with a smile.

"Two generals, don't be impatient."
