Chapter 740: It's another fraud

"There must be capable people in Liu Daer's army, and our formation has been broken. It seems that most of the people who are capable of this ability are the people who have recently joined Liu Bei's command as I told me before. ”

After hearing this, Cao Chun's face became a little solemn, and he had other worries, so he persuaded Cao Ren.

"Liu Da'er's talent is not low, and even the prime minister often says that he is a masterpiece in the world, and he is afraid of it. What's more, Liu Daer is good at winning people's hearts, and he is relied on by peerless generals such as Pan, Zhang, Taishi, and Hua. As far as I can see, Liu Da'er lost power and lost again and again in the past, all because of the great talents under his command who did not have a certain strategy. Now that he has that master, like a tiger with wings, like a dragon turning into a dragon, he can no longer be despised.

At present, my brother has led his troops and horses to Xinye, and Fancheng's troops are empty, and I am very worried. If that master taught Liu Da'er to attack Fancheng, Fancheng would be in danger! ”

After Cao Ren heard this, he groaned for a while, and it was just in his hesitation that a soldier suddenly came to report. The Huang family, a wealthy family in Xinye, came to see people from the faction. When Cao Ren heard this, his face immediately turned overjoyed and he hurried to greet him. The Huang family has seen Cao Ren from people, and after Shi Libi, he said that Liu Bei has a benevolent name, but he is actually a traitor, and since he came to Xinye, he has tried every means to obtain benefits from the wealthy families in Xinye City. The Huang family suffered the most, and immediately heard that Prime Minister Cao Cheng wanted to ask Liu Bei, so he came to help, thinking that he should be inside, and tonight's three watches, with the magpie crying as a code. Cao Ren exclaimed with joy when he heard this.

"This is the heavens that want to punish Liu Da'er!"

Cao Ren rewarded the people who came, and as soon as the Huang family withdrew from the tent, Cao Chun frowned deeply.

"Brother, don't be in a hurry to act first, my brother often hears that Liu Da'er is popular in Xinye, and my brother is only afraid that there will be fraud in it, so I must guard against it."

Cao Ren heard this, laughed, and said.

"Brother Chun doesn't have to worry too much. Historically, in all parts of the world, wealthy families and ordinary people have not stood apart due to interest disputes. If Liu Da'er wants to win the hearts of the people, he must give his own benefits and appease the people. This will inevitably offend the wealthy families in the city. What's more, Liu Daer has recruited troops and horses in Xinye in recent years, spending a lot of money and food, if he doesn't ask for it from the wealthy, how can he succeed. The wealthy Huang family, with hundreds of servants, is a huge room in a county, with plenty of gold and enough food, how will Liu Daer exploit it! Huang holds a grudge because of this, and it is natural that he wants to get rid of it! ”

"But Fancheng is empty, so what?"

Cao Chun's face tightened, and he asked again. Cao Ren squinted, Fancheng was indeed empty, and he had no choice but to retreat, but if he withdrew like this, Cao Ren was unwilling. Cao Ren thought for a while, and then said.

"The so-called opportunity must not be lost and never come again, there is a good opportunity now, how can we let it go. Tonight I will go and take the city first, and if I can get it, I will make a plan. If not, retreat back to Fancheng! ”

How could Cao Chun not know what Cao Ren was thinking, knowing that he was unwilling, after pondering for a while, he said.

"Brother's attention has been decided, and it is useless for my brother to persuade him. However, if the elder brother wants to go, he should divide the three armies into three teams. Two teams met outside the city, and one team entered the city to ensure that nothing went wrong. ”

When Cao Ren heard this, he smiled and replied.

"Good! According to the words of the pure brother. ”

Cao Ren followed Cao Chun's words, so he divided the army into three teams and prepared to fight that night.

When about three watches, the moonlight was shining, Cao Ren led an army to the west gate, taught the soldiers to learn the magpie to cry three times, after three sounds, the city of the west gate suddenly torches were burned, and then the city gate was opened, and the drawbridge slammed down.

Cao Ren was overjoyed, and rushed to the horse first, and the soldiers and horses behind him followed Cao Ren to the west gate. Cao Ren was full of blue killing intent, and wanted to take Liu Bei's head as soon as possible, so he whipped and flew all the way to Xinye County.

Suddenly, Cao Ren's face changed drastically, remembering that there was no one on the road just now, Cao Ren knew that he was in the middle of the plan, and secretly screamed in his heart, so he hurriedly turned back his horse and shouted.

"Hurry up and get out of the army!"

As soon as Cao Ren's voice fell, a cannon rang out in the county office, and four flames burst into flames, roaring into the sky, golden drums rang out in unison, and the shouts were like a river boiling over the sea. Cao Ren pulled out his horse and turned around, only to see Liu Bei turn out of the east lane, and Liao Hua out of the west lane, attacking and covering up. Cao Ren's face changed drastically, and he was so frightened that he jumped out of his body and hurriedly fled to the north gate. Cao Ren fled all the way, and before he reached the north gate, he turned out of Tai Shici and killed for a while, Cao Ren escaped under the desperate resistance of the soldiers. Cao Ren was ambushed twice, most of the soldiers and horses were broken, and he hurried to the south gate, when suddenly a tiger roared and Hua Xiong danced the broken dragon knife to block the way.

Cao Ren gritted his teeth angrily, and wanted to kill it. Hua Xiong ordered the soldiers to stop, and the men and horses intercepted in all directions, Cao Ren fought to the death, but still could not break, and saw Hua Xiong come to kill with a knife, and immediately pulled the horse back, and then turned to the north gate.

Cao Ren fell into a dead situation repeatedly, and I was afraid that there would be a chance that he would order a general to change his armor with him, hide in the army and flee to the north gate. Suddenly, another shout broke out at the north gate, and Zhang Fei was seen coming from the spear and prancing horse in the firelight. Zhang Fei roared angrily, the sound was as loud as thunder, and he killed Cao Ren from all the horses, Cao Ren covered his face with his hands, and fled with a panicked whip. Zhang Fei came from behind, swept a spear at Cao Ren's helmet, knocked Cao Ren's helmet away, and shouted.

"Where is Cao Zixiao?!!!! Come on!! ”

Cao Ren stopped his fear, and hurriedly pointed with his hand, and the general who had exchanged armor with him just now shouted.

"The one in front of him is wearing silver armor!"

When Zhang Fei heard this, he stared at the ring and recognized Cao Ren's armor, so he hurriedly abandoned Cao Ren and chased forward on his horse. Cao Ren turned his horse's head and looked at the east gate and left, just as Gao Ran and Cao Chun arrived with help from outside the city. Cao Ren hurriedly shouted, Gao Ran, Cao Chun saw it, busy supporting Cao Ren, killing a bloody road, to the city gate, the flames were very strong, the city pushed down firewood and grass, there was fire everywhere, Gao Ran used a knife to pull away, Pegasus smoked and burst into flames first. Cao Ren then came out. When he arrived at the doorway, a beam of fire collapsed from the city gate, Cao Chun's eyes were sick, and he hurriedly swept the beam of fire into two sections with a gun, and Cao Ren quickly fled.

Liu Bei gathered all the armies and went out of the city to chase and kill, but Cao Ren didn't have time to collect his troops and return to the village, so he was anxious to look at the Beihe River and leave. When I got to the river, I wanted to find a boat to cross the river, but I was in a panic. Liu Bei's army chased after him, and each general rushed to kill him, wanting to kill Cao Ren. Seeing that the situation was like this, Cao Ren broke out wildly, led the army to fight to the death, and the soldiers of the Cao army were also fighting against the water, and the offensive became extremely strong in an instant, and Liu Bei's army was difficult to attack for a while. Cao Chun was busy protecting Cao Ren, and he got off the boat and took advantage of the situation to cross the river. When Liu Bei saw Cao Ren fleeing, he ordered his soldiers to storm it, but Cao's army gradually couldn't resist it, and most of them drowned in the water.

Cao Ren hurriedly crossed the river, went ashore and headed straight for Fancheng overnight. Cao Ren led the defeated army to Fancheng, panicked and ordered the soldiers to open the door, the city gate was just opened, Cao Ren panicked a little, and he was glad to have escaped. Who knew that a giant axe suddenly danced from Fancheng to Cao Ren and flew straight to kill. It is Liu Bei's righteous brother, Pan Wushuang!

Pan Feng carried the axe and shouted.

"I've been taking Fancheng for a long time!"

Cao Ren was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he pulled out his horse and fled in a panic. Pan Feng led the army to chase after him, but Cao Ren was ambushed repeatedly, his mind was weakened, he was tired, and he fled slowly. Seeing that Pan Feng was about to rush to kill, a group of people suddenly came out from the halfway. The head of the general, the tiger head and tiger brain, the whole body is powerful, and he dances a tiger head sword, which is Xu Chu, the general under Cao Cao.

It is said that Xu Chu got Cao Cao's order and flew from Luoyang to Fancheng, and when he was about to arrive, the scouts who went to investigate found that Fancheng was being attacked by Pan Feng's army, and saw that Fancheng was about to be conquered. Xu Chu had few soldiers and didn't dare to rush to the rescue, thought for a while, and sent someone to wait for Xinye to report, while he led the army to ambush a certain place first and sit and watch the situation. Not long after, Cao Ren's defeated army rushed back, and Xu Chu heard that the scout was coming, so he quickly prepared and waited for the opportunity to move.

Xu Chuhu was stunned, and he struggled to slash Pan Feng. Pan Feng saw that it was Xu Chu, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly shook his spirit to fight with him. Cao Ren, the world-famous victorious general, suffered repeated setbacks in a few days, and most of the 30,000 soldiers were lost, Cao Ren's stomach can be said to have accumulated monstrous anger, that is, he roared, waved his gun and went to Pan Feng to kill, Gao Ran and Cao Chun saw this, and they were busy carrying weapons and also went to Pan Feng to kill him.

Xu Chu, Cao Ren, Cao Chun, and Gao Lan surrounded Pan Feng and attacked non-stop, and the remnants of Cao Ren's troops were also rescued by the new force led by Xu Chu, regained the chaos and fought desperately with the soldiers of Pan Feng's army. Although Pan Feng is a fierce general in the world, few people in the world can compare with him, but at this time he is facing four generals, among which Xu Chu and his martial arts are only between the best, and Gao Ran is also a super general, as for Cao Ren and Cao Chun, they are also extraordinary in martial arts, and they are among the ranks of first-class generals. Under the siege of these four generals, Pan Feng's move couldn't be stopped, Pan Feng's mind was spinning, and suddenly an axe slashed at Cao Ren, Xu Chu, Cao Chun, and Gao Ran were shocked and rushed to help. Unexpectedly, this was just a false move, Pan Feng took the opportunity to swing his position, pulled out his horse and retreated. Cao Ren, Xu Chu, Cao Chun, and Gao Lan's four generals, where they were willing to give up, rushed to chase and kill, and their soldiers rushed up, killing Pan Feng's army and retreating.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Pan Feng hurriedly walked back to Fancheng, but suddenly a cannon roared, and another road of soldiers and horses came out. The leader is Zhang Jaw, one of the four courtyards of the original river.

It turned out that not long after Xu Chu left. Cao Cao was distracted for several days, fearing that there would be an incident in Fancheng, so he quickly led three thousand tigers and leopards to the rescue. Zhang Jaw led the starry night to hurry, and happened to meet Pan Feng, and hurriedly led the army to stop the killing.

Pan Feng saw an army coming in front of him, and thought that this Fancheng must not be at the moment, so he paid attention to it, so he hurriedly taught the soldiers to withdraw to Xinye City. Cao Ren suddenly saw Pan Feng retreating, and was busy chasing from behind, and Zhang Jaw also led his troops to chase after him, all the way to the river. Pan Feng's soldiers were exhausted and difficult to move, and when they saw that they were about to be surrounded by Cao's army, Liu Bei led his pursuers to arrive in time. Liu Bei was shocked when he saw that Pan Feng was surrounded and killed by so many soldiers and horses, and quickly ordered the soldiers to go to help in the battle.

Cao Ren was rescued by Xu Chu and Zhang Jaw to recapture Fancheng. Even so, under the defeat of a series of battles, Cao Ren also lost nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses. Later, if it weren't for the rescue of Xu Chu and Zhang Jaw, I was afraid that the remaining 10,000 remnants of Cao Ren would not be seven or eight out of ten.

Later, Cao Ren learned that Xu Chu and Zhang Jaw would come, all because Cao Chun sent someone back to Luoyang to inform Cao Cao beforehand. Afterwards, Cao Chun pleaded guilty to Cao Ren. Cao Ren was not only not angry, but bowed to his brother again, saying that if it weren't for Cao Chun's foresight, he was afraid that he would have been wiped out at this time, and it was still unknown whether the head on the neck was still there. After Cao Chun heard this, he was relieved, and he thought that Cao Ren would hate him because of this. At this point, Cao Ren and Cao Chun's friendship is deeper, and these are not a problem.

Cao Ren was repeatedly frustrated at Liu Bei's hands, and he knew that he was powerful, and he didn't dare to commit another crime for the time being. Cao Ren then ordered someone to investigate, and learned that the person who planned for Liu Bei was a person named Xu Shu. After Cao Ren inquired, he sent a report back to Luoyang, first, to ask Cao Cao for guilt, and second, to explain to Cao Cao how powerful Liu Bei was.

It was said that Liu Bei withdrew his troops that night and rushed back to Xinye. The next day, Pan Feng suddenly brought two people to meet, one of whom was Liu Mi, the commander of Fancheng County.

After Pan Feng got Fancheng, Liu Mi knew that he was the righteous brother of Uncle Liu, and he was overjoyed, so he led the defenders of the city to vote. Later, Pan Feng pursued Cao Ren that night, leaving Liu Mi to guard the city, Liu Mi later saw that Pan Feng was besieged and killed, and saw that the situation was not good, lest Cao Ren settle accounts with him after the autumn, so he quickly led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, abandoned the city and fled, and went to Xinye, and then happened to meet Liu Bei's soldiers and horses. Liu Mi told that the soldier was an acquaintance of Pan Feng, Pan Feng rushed to meet, saw that it was Liu Mi, and originally wanted to introduce Liu Bei, but seeing that the army had just fought fiercely with Cao Jun at that time, Liu Bei was tired, so he taught Liu Mi to follow him into the city first, and then go to see Liu Bei tomorrow. Liu Mi didn't dare to make a mistake, so he promised.

Liu Bei heard that Liu Mi was a relative of the Han family, and hurriedly received him, and after the salute with Liu Mi, Liu Bei saw a person standing on the side. Liu Bei regarded him as a young person, but he was a powerful person, so he asked Liu Yudao.

"I don't know who this is?"

Seeing that Liu Bei was quite happy with his nephew, Liu Mi was overjoyed, and hurriedly said.

"Here my nephew Kou Feng, the son of Ben Luo Hou Kou clan. Because both parents died, they depended on me. Although this son is young, he is quite martial arts, knows etiquette and righteousness, and I rely on him a lot on weekdays. ”

After Liu Mi finished speaking, Kou Feng was also dexterous, and he knelt down on his knees and bowed to Liu Bei.

"I heard that Uncle Liu Huang is a hero in the world, and now I see that it is true! Recently, I heard that Uncle Liu Huang defeated the Cao thief, which was really happy. Being able to see Uncle Huang today is really a blessing for the three lives of the seal! ”

"Haha, false names are false names, little nephews don't have to take it seriously. As for the previous war, I didn't want to kill more, but Cao Zixiao was aggressive, and I had to lead troops to block it in order to protect the safety of the people of Xinye. ”
