"Can't you hear me? I did. [ ] Kill the horse! Cao Zhen endured the pain in his heart and shouted.

"Yes, the last general obeys!"

A cold light swept by, and one by one the war horses fell.

A cauldron was also set up in Cao Jun's barracks, and as the firewood became more and more vigorous, the water in the pot boiled. The steaming horse meat, as well as large pieces of horse bones, were thrown into the pot, and the water splashed and fell to the ground, and the horse meat quickly changed color in the boiling water.

The aroma of meat wafted into the air, and under the fire, the soup gradually became known to be white.

……

A young Cao Bing looked at the bowl in his hand in surprise, in addition to the thick broth, there was also a piece of meat.

"There's meat, what's going on?" Cao Bing said in surprise.

"Whatever, I've drunk gruel for so many days, let's eat it if you have meat!" Next to the one-person interface.

"It's not that I don't want to eat it, it's just that I don't know what kind of meat it is, so I don't dare to eat it." The young Cao Bing said.

The implication of this young Cao Bing's words is that he is worried that this meat is human flesh.

Ages of war or famine. Eating human flesh is not unusual. When Cao Cao was short of food, Cheng Yu also used human flesh as military food.

However, since Cao Cao unified the north, the great development of Tuntian, and the Tuntian policy in the Cao Pi era is even more popular, in the last ten years, there is no longer the use of human flesh as military food.

Beside him, a man who looked like an officer heard the conversation between the two, and immediately came over and said to the young Cao Bing: "You can eat it with confidence, these are all horse meat." ”

"Horse meat?"

"It's horse meat, the general ordered the horse to be killed, and the general personally killed his own war horse, or where did you get the horse meat to eat!"

"The general killed his own warhorse?" Cao Bing looked at the bowl in his hand in surprise, at this time, the bowl seemed to be much heavier.

"The general actually killed his own war horse for us to eat! Such a great kindness, I should give my life to repay it! ”

……

The news of Cao Zhen's killing of horses soon spread among the army.

Cao Jun's morale was completely aroused at this moment, and this kind of encouragement was different from usual, it was completely a mourning encouragement.

This is like when Wu Qi sucked abscesses for soldiers, at this time, the soldiers of Cao Jun were full of gratitude to Cao Zhen, and this gratitude, after being reflected on the battlefield, became combat power.

Cao Jun rushed forward to kill as if he had eaten stimulants, Adou originally wanted to use fried wheat to hit Cao Jun's morale, but he didn't expect to force Cao Zhen to kill the horse, which had the opposite effect completely.

The sergeants marched forward. The shouting of killing reached Cao Zhen's ears, and Cao Zhen's originally cold face also loosened a little.

The guard next to him walked over, still holding a bowl of horse meat in his hand.

"General, you better eat something!"

Cao Zhen shook his head, looked at the bowl, and thought about his beloved war horse, Cao Zhen couldn't eat it anyway.

"All the meat is gone?" Cao Zhen asked.

"It's all divided. There are not many births left. ”

"Got it, you go down first!" Cao Zhen waved his hand.

"General, you better eat something, you haven't eaten for a whole day, and your body won't be able to support it in this way. If you fall, who will command us in battle? The squire said sincerely.

"Hey......" Cao Zhen looked at the bowl of meat, and then sighed helplessly. The horse has been killed, the meat has been divided, and if he can't fight it again, Cao Zhen really can't do anything.

"Huh......" Cao Zhen took a deep breath, and then looked at the bowl of horse meat, as this attendant said, if even he falls, who will command the army!

"There's no way back, it's time to give it a go!" Cao Zhen took the bowl from the attendant's hand. I grabbed a piece of meat, stuffed it in my mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it without biting it.

In the blink of an eye, a bowl of meat was eaten by Cao Zhen, and then Cao Zhen touched his mouth and said to the person next to him: "Go, bring me a knife, I will go into battle in person!" ”

……

Cao Zhen's handsome flag moved slowly, and gradually came to the front line, and Cao Zhen was also dressed neatly, holding a blade in his hand, and looking ahead with a cold face.

"Look, the general is here!"

The soldiers of Cao Jun have noticed that Cao Zhen's handsome banner has come to the front.

"Brothers, kill me!" Cao Zhen held a big knife in his hand and began to charge forward in the lead.

Cao Zhen, as the commander-in-chief, took the lead in this way, which made the soldiers attack harder. With the arrival of Cao Zhen, a new wave of attacks appeared.

……

"Cao Zhen's handsome flag? Cao Zhen has personally gone into battle, and it seems that Cao Zhen is going to make a last stand. In the face of Cao Bing's ferocious offensive and the Cao Army's banner looming in the distance, Adou knew that it was now the last moment. It's a matter of success or failure.

"Zhang Wei, go get my big stick." Adou said softly.

"Your Majesty, are you going into battle? How can this be! Zhang Wei immediately objected.

"It's been a long time since I've exercised, and it's time to move my muscles." Adou pointed ahead, and then said, "Say it again." Cao Zhen rushed over in person, and we can't weaken our momentum. ”

"Your Majesty, no, if the prime minister and Lord Chen Zhi know, they will have to kill me!"

"Hehe, Zhang Wei, if I rush forward now, can you stop me?"

"Uh......" Zhang Wei suddenly appeared, as Adou said, if Adou rushed to the front line with an iron heart, with Zhang Wei's martial arts, he really couldn't stop it.

"Alright, I've made up my mind, you can't let me go to the battlefield empty-handed! Go ahead, help me get the stick! ”

Zhang Wei has been by Adou's side for so many years, and he already knows Adou very well, this majesty is indeed very capricious sometimes, but Zhang Wei's kung fu is far inferior to Adou, and Zhang Wei has no way to do anything about Adou's willfulness.

Thinking about it again, since Adou is going into battle, it is definitely much better to have a stick in his hand than to use his bare hands. Thinking of this, Zhang Wei had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, and hurriedly went to help Adou get the stick.

……

Cao Zhen personally went into battle. Led by Cao Zhen, the Cao army stepped forward bravely, on the contrary, the Han army on the opposite side was defeated and retreated.

Finally, the banner of Emperor Luan appeared on the battlefield.

Adou was wearing a thin layer of gold silk armor, although this gold silk armor was thin, but when it came to willfulness, it was comparable to ordinary armor. On the outside of the gold silk armor, it is covered with a layer of gold armor, plus a dragon pattern gold crown. The goggles were polished.

Adou's dress is undoubtedly very conspicuous, rushing into the crowd, as if standing out from the crowd.

"Hey, look, that seems to be Your Majesty!"

"How is it possible, how could His Majesty come here...... Ah, really Your Majesty! ”

"Your Majesty is here, Your Majesty is personally in battle!"

The news flew and finally reached Jiang Wei's ears.

"What, Your Majesty is out on the battlefield!" Jiang Wei suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and then immediately said: "Go, follow me to protect Your Majesty, if Your Majesty makes any mistakes, our hundred heads are not enough to cut off!" ”

Adou's appearance immediately boosted the morale of the Han army, but because Adou's dress was too obvious, Cao Jun could immediately recognize it.

"The general has an order, whoever captures the Han lord, whether he lives or dies, seals 10,000 households, and has a reward of 100,000!" After Adou appeared, Cao Zhen reacted immediately.

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, and the reward of 10,000 households and 100,000 gold, even if the five sons have fought for a lifetime, they have not been treated like this. Cao Bing, who could see the Adou Emperor Banner in all areas of sight, couldn't help but rush in that direction. And those Cao Jun, who were very close to Adou, immediately raised their swords to kill him, and for a while, swords, guns, swords, halberds, and even cold arrows and crossbows all beckoned to Adou.

"Good time!" Adou snorted lightly, and waved the big stick in his hand, bringing up a gust of stick wind, under the stick wind, whether it was swords, guns, swords, halberds, or arrows and crossbows. Unable to get close to Adou's body.

"Your Majesty has personally killed the enemy, and we will not move forward bravely, but when!"

Seeing Adou so brave, the soldiers of the Han army also shook their spirits and began to fight bravely.

Adou glanced at Cao Zhen's handsome flag from a distance, and his body involuntarily killed in the direction of Cao Zhen, in Adou's opinion, capture the thief and capture the king first, if you can control Cao Zhen, this battle will be won.

Cao Zhen, who was on the other side, also paid the same attention, and if he controlled Adou, he would be able to reverse the battle. So Cao Zhen is also approaching in the direction of Adou.

The two sides quickly stuck together.

Adou looked up, and in the crowd opposite, Cao Zhen's figure could already be faintly seen, and Cao Zhen could also capture the golden figure in the Han army.

"Over there!" Both sides shouted in unison.

The last time Adou saw Cao Zhen was many years ago, and Cao Zhen has not changed much after so many years. On the contrary, Adou has changed a lot, he has changed from a teenager to a young man, and with the temperament of a superior who has been an emperor for many years, he has already been like two people back then.

"Cao Zhen, it's impossible to do anything, I think you should surrender! I, Liu Chan, hereby promise that I will never hurt you and your soldiers in the slightest. ”

"Surrender, I think it's you who should surrender! Liu Chan, I will capture you today and let you see how powerful I am! ”

"Hmph, boiled duck - hard beak! Back then, so many of you couldn't keep me, remember that you were just my one-in-one, and you still had the face to arrest me! Overestimate one's strength or oneself! I advise you not to use the mantis arm as a car! ”

"I can't do it, I want to see who is not able to do it today, brothers, Liu Chan is in front, follow me, catch Liu Chan!" Cao Zhen waved his big knife and led the soldiers to rush in the direction of Adou.

Back then, Cao Zhen had seen Adou's martial arts. Adou is a famous enemy of 10,000 people, and this Central Plains knows everything. But for Cao Zhen, this is the only chance. Besides, Adou has been the emperor for so many years, pampered and pampered, and it is difficult to say how much martial arts foundation is left.

"Protect Your Majesty!" Jiang Wei's voice came.

"Your Majesty, the minister is here to help you!"

"Your Majesty, the minister is also here!"

Zhang Wei looked back and saw that not only Jiang Wei, but also Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Guan Suo, Ma Zhong, Zhang Yi, Fu Tong, Wu Ban, Feng Xi, Zhang Nan and other Han army generals all rushed over.

At this time, all the Han generals knew that if Adou was injured, everyone would have to be unlucky, and everyone rushed over desperately. At this moment, Cao Zhen suddenly appeared, and it seemed that there were Han generals in all directions!

"Okay, it's all here! Well done! A cold light flashed in Cao Zhen's eyes, but at this moment, Cao Zhen's heart was more helpless.

The Han army is really full of talents, on the contrary, on the side of the Cao army, since the death of the older generation of two Cao and two Xiahou and the five good generals, there has been a fault line in talent. Especially the generals who can charge into battle, there are only a few people such as Xiahouba and Deng Ai.

The talent fault line in Wei is an indisputable fact, and it is also the sequelae left by the turmoil. The so-called troubled times produce heroes, from the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the late Jian'an period, the Central Plains region has been in chaos for 30 years, in these 30 years, of course, there are many heroes, but also promote the great era of talent gathering at the end of the Han Dynasty, but with the extension of the war, the older generation of heroes have died one after another, and the new generation will not get a good and stable living environment, which will eventually cause such a talent fault.

On the contrary, Yizhou was not affected by the war at the end of the Han Dynasty, and the people's lives were relatively stable, even if the older generation such as Yan Yan and others died one after another, Zhang Yi and Ma Zhong of the Mesozoic Era could also support the overall situation, so there was no talent gap, just like these generals present, except for Jiang Wei, the rest were generals from Xichuan.

Now the distribution structure of officials under Adou's command is the same, the second generation of Jingzhou officials have grown up, but there are few officials from Yongliang, and it is the Shu officials who really support the overall situation.

……

The addition of Jiang Wei and others made the battle situation one-sided in an instant.

"Cao Zhen, you don't have a chance, it's better to surrender!" Adou looked at Cao Zhen and said.

"Surrender, you want to be beautiful, only Cao Zhen who died in battle, Cao Zhen who did not surrender!"

"Cao Zhen, can you bear to watch the tens of thousands of troops under your command be buried with you?"

"Funeral? You can say that again! Even if you die, you have to pull a cushion on your back, and you would rather be broken than broken! ”

Adou's brows furrowed slightly, the so-called killing of a thousand enemies and self-loss of eight hundred, if it is a hard fight, even if the Han army wins in the end, it will pay a painful price, and in the end, both sides will lose. In this way, it will give Dongwu a chance to take advantage of, Adou doesn't want to make a wedding dress for Dongwu for half a day.

"That's it, Cao Zhen, I'll give you a chance. How about I personally fight you? Adou said.

"Really?" Cao Zhen was overjoyed, this was a good opportunity for Cao Zhen, Adou was willing to go into battle in person, which was much less difficult than capturing Adou in the army. Then Cao Zhen thought about it slightly, and immediately pondered, Adou didn't want to have too much loss.

Cao Zhen's eyes flashed with a cold light, and then he said, "You want to fight with me!" Why! I don't do it! You are the enemy of all people, this world knows, you just said, I was just your general, I fought with you, wouldn't I be sent to death! ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"We're going to shoot five of us, and we're going to hit you one!" Cao Zhen said proudly.

"Cao Zhen, you are shameless!" Jiang Wei next to him immediately scolded.

Adou waved his hand to stop Jiang Wei, and then nodded: "Okay, I promise you!" You can pick five people out, but among them, you must be Cao Zhen! ”
