After Pang De finished speaking, he swung his knife to stop Cao Zhang, and Guan Ping took advantage of this time to turn his horse and run back to his team. Guan Yu saw him come back, his face sank and said: "If you are not good at learning, you can still learn people, go back and see how I clean you up!" ”

Guan Ping knew that he was wrong and didn't defend himself, and stood behind Guan Yu in a gloomy manner. At this time, Cao Zhang, who was in the field, saw Guan Ping fleeing, so he poured all his anger on Pang De, and stabbed him as soon as he ran to him. Pound flicked the knife and sealed Cao Zhang's big 㦸. Then he slashed the knife horizontally, and it was already lightning slashing towards Cao Zhang's chest.

This knife came very quickly, and Cao Zhang didn't think about it, and took the big one to the knife. With a bang, the force of Pang De's knife was very strong, and Cao Zhangzhen's people and horses unconsciously took two steps back.

Pang De succeeded in one move, and with a flick of the big knife, he killed Cao Zhang. Cao Zhang already knew that Pang De was powerful at this time, and he didn't dare to relax in the slightest, so he fought with Pang De with his spirit.

Xu Yu at the head of the city looked anxious, he was afraid that Cao Zhang would lose, and as soon as he saw that Pang De was powerful, he asked people to hurry up and withdraw his troops. Cao Zhang was already very tired at this time, although he had only fought with Pang De for three or five faces, but the nervous feeling made his physical strength consume too quickly, and he was almost ready to fight Guan Ping with fifty moves.

Xu You asked Ming Jin to rescue Cao Zhang, only to see him dangling for a while and then turning his horse and running back. Pang De had the intention to chase, but Cao Zhang's horse was fast, and seeing that the two quickly distanced themselves, Pang Dele stopped the war horse and sent Cao Zhang back to his team. Then Cao's army collected his troops and returned to the city, and Pang De also returned to his side.

Not to mention how Guan Yu arranged here, just said that Cao Zhang returned to the city and returned directly to the Taishou Mansion, and said to Xu Yu while resting: "Sir, the person who fought against me later should be Pang De, and I can't beat him, let alone Guan Yu." What should we do for the sake of the present? ”

Xu You thought for a while and said, "Third Prince, let's ask for help!" That Guan Yu is invincible alone! If it is allowed to lead its troops to attack the city, I am afraid that the strength of Yecheng will not be able to survive for more than a month. ”

"Hey!" Cao Zhang sighed and said, "Then please draft a letter, sir, and I'll use it later!" Xu Yu answered and went down to write a letter.

Cao Zhang, alone in the lobby, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he suddenly got up and kicked the case in front of him to the ground, and then said hatefully: "Father is eccentric, if you give me a few generals, why am I so timid!" That's it, no one can count on it, I'm better at cultivating talents by myself! After saying that, he shouted loudly outside the door: "Someone! ”

A guard came in and knelt down on one knee and said, "What do you want from the third prince?" ”

"Go and find the division commander, I have something to discuss with him! Let someone come in and clean up again! After speaking, Cao Zhang sat back in his place. The guard answered and turned to leave. There was not much time, and the maid came in to rearrange the case, and served Cao Zhang freshly brewed tea.

At this time, the division commander arrived, and the division commander's name was Shi Zan, who was originally a ranger stallion skillful, and was favored by Cao Zhang as his subordinate. He is training Cao Zhang's own army. Cao Zhang named it the White Bear Army. At present, only 1,500 people have been recruited, but after a period of training, the combat strength of these 1,500 people is now no less than that of 10,000 people. This is also Cao Zhang's biggest hole card.

When Cao Zhang saw Shizan coming, he asked him to sit down and talk. Shi Zan was not polite, and after sitting down, he hugged his fists and said: "My subordinates heard that today's lord defeated Guan Yu's son Guan Ping, which shows that the lord's martial arts are almost complete." ”

Cao Zhangyi waved his hand and said: "Hey, it's just Guan Yu's son, and when I defeat Guan Yu one day, it will be considered a martial arts achievement." ”

"Lord, you are still young, so naturally you have a chance!" Shi Zan echoed with a smile. Cao Zhang heard Shi Zan's compliment, and immediately laughed. After laughing, he asked, "Division Commander, my White Bear Army is now useful?" ”

"Rest assured, the White Bear Army is ready to go to the battlefield at any time and cut through all obstacles for the lord."

"Okay, tell me directly if the division commander lacks anything, I will go back to do it for you, and you must train the White Bear Army into an iron-blooded army for me." Cao Zhang's eyes lit up.

"It's the lord. However, now that the White Bear Army still lacks some blood, why don't you let them go out of the city to fight? The division commander suggested.

"Murder? There are dozens of prisoners in the prison, you can take them all! Go and let them kill Lian Guts, the Qi army outside the city is powerful! Let's wait and get out of town! ”

"Obey the Lord's orders!" Shi Zan answered, then took his leave and went to the prison to collect the prisoners. However, after he left the Taishou Mansion again, he secretly said in his heart: It's a pity! If Cao Zhang allowed him to go out of the city, he could take the opportunity to occupy the city gate and welcome Guan Yu and the others in. It turned out that this Shi Zan was a member of the Shadow at all, and he deliberately approached Cao Chang to gain his appreciation, and then stayed with him in order to sow discord between their brothers.

Cao Cao received a lot of talents in Jingzhou, and just when he was happy, he suddenly received two letters asking for help. Cao Cao opened it and saw that his head was buzzing, he didn't expect Xiahou Yuan to die!

Cao Cao stood up suddenly, he wanted to immediately lead his troops out to avenge Xiahou Yuan, but reason told him that he was already attacked on three sides at this moment. Jingzhou and Yecheng were all very unsafe, and they could no longer easily send troops westward.

Cao Cao couldn't make up his mind for a while, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Ma Tan, so he beckoned Ma Jian to come forward, and then told him the two letters and the current situation. Then ask him what he thinks he should do?

Ma Tan thought for a while and said: "Hanzhong is worry-free, as long as Hanzhong City can be defended, no matter whether Hai Liu Zhang or Liu Beijun can take Hanzhong City." But Yecheng is not easy to say. If you don't send someone to answer as soon as possible, I'm afraid that the third prince won't be able to hold on for a few days. Listening to Ma Yan's words, Cao Cao waved his hand and motioned for him to leave. Ma Jian didn't care either, and continued to do the work under his hands.

Cao Cao thought for a moment and then began to pick up a pen and write, and in a short time, the two letters were sent. Then Cao Cao sent someone to tell the general Xu Huang, the guard general of Jiangling City, and secretly came to him.

Turning the day, Xu Huang rushed to Xiangyang City. Then Cao Cao told Xu Huang to let him sit in Xiangyang, and he must take Xiangyang City and Jiangling City into his own hands. Xu Huang nodded knowingly, Cao Cao was very satisfied with his attitude, so he urgently transferred the general Li Dian to Jingzhou to assist Xu Huang, and he must keep Jingzhou to the death.

After Cao Cao made arrangements, the next day he left Jingzhou with his guards and tigers and leopards to return to Xuchang, and his departure made Zhou Yu very happy. Zhou Yu began to dispatch troops, ready to send troops to Cao Jun at any time to give Cao Jun a taste.
