Han Zhong, who was galloping on his horse, looked back and saw Cao Zhang's solo ride following behind them.

"Kill him!" Han Zhong shouted: "Kill Cao Zhang, I will definitely show my merit to General Gongsun, and I can reward a thousand gold!" ”

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, as soon as Han Zhong's shout fell, twenty or thirty guards turned around and rushed towards Cao Zhang.

Seeing a group of people rushing over, Cao Zhang brandished his weapon and killed him head-on.

A Liaodong soldier who was facing him was about to rush in front of Cao Zhang, but before he could pick up his weapon, he was overturned by Cao Zhang's halberd.

killed this Liaodong Army, and Cao Zhang's movements did not stop.

The halberd flew up, and when he rushed past the group of Liaodong troops, there were six or seven corpses and horses without their owners left behind him.

Seeing this, the Liaodong Army, who had not been able to make contact with Cao Zhang, was shocked and covered in cold sweat, how dare they catch up.

They looked at each other, shook off the reins, and rode away.

The war horses in Cao Shuo's army were all good horses sent from the Xiongnu or Xiliang.

As the third son of the Cao family, working under Cao Shuo, Cao Zhang's war horses are certainly not comparable to ordinary horses.

A moment later, seeing that he was about to catch up with Han Zhong, several guards who were following Han Zhong turned around.

Before they could catch up, Cao Zhang had already picked up his halberd and knocked over two of them.

Before the rest of the people could come to their senses, Cao Zhang walked through them.

The guards beside him were all thrown away by Cao Zhang, and seeing that they were about to be caught up, Han Zhong turned his heart sideways and turned his horse to meet him.

Seeing him coming up, Cao Zhang shouted: "Good come!" ”

After all, Han Zhong is just a staff member, not to mention kung fu on horseback, even when he gets off the war horse, his swordsmanship is commonplace.

He didn't even get close to Cao Zhang, and he was pierced through the heart by a halberd.

The heart socket was penetrated, and Han Zhong immediately fell from the horse.

Cao Zhang turned over and dismounted, poked the halberd to the ground, drew his long sword and stepped forward to cut off his head.

Remounted the horse, picked Han Zhong's head with a halberd on the trough, and shouted loudly while galloping on his horse: "Listen to the Liaodong army in the city, your lord general has been ambushed." Those who put down their weapons live, and those who resist die! ”

News of Han Zhong's killing soon spread throughout the city.

The morale of the Cao army was boosted, but the soldiers of the Liaodong Army lost their will to fight in an instant.

Many Liaodong troops laid down their weapons and surrendered to Cao's army.

Some of them managed to break through and escape from the city.

At the end of the battle, the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield, and Chen Zhi and Zhu Ao, who were covered in blood, came to Cao Zhang's side.

"Did the third prince chase the enemy commander just now?" Seeing Cao Zhang, Chen Zhi asked.

"That guy wants to run, how can I let him run?" Carrying the head to Chen Zhi and Zhu Ao, Cao Zhang said: "Seeing that he couldn't run away, he actually wanted to turn back and fight, but I cut him down!" ”

"I came here with the third son, and it was on the orders of the son." Chen Zhi said: "The son ordered me to take care of the third son, in case the third son has three long and two short, how can I bear it?" ”

"When the eldest brother comes, I will definitely not be able to escape a reproach." Cao Zhang said: "The credit for killing the enemy's commander is not worth the fault of greedy merit......

"It's good that the third prince can understand these truths." Zhu Ao said: "If you meet your son and talk to him about good things, it won't be anything." After all, we won this fight! ”

"If General Chen hadn't reminded him outside the city, I would have already implicated General Zhu and two thousand soldiers." Cao Zhang said with a smile on his face: "No matter how the eldest brother blames, I admit it!" ”

Chen Zhi originally wanted to say a few more words, but Cao Zhang admitted his mistake in person, which made him unable to speak.

He said to Cao Zhang: "The third prince has experienced few things, and it is inevitable to make some mistakes. When the son came, General Zhu and I also talked about the third son. ”

"Thank you, two generals!" The two were willing to excuse him, and Cao Zhang hurriedly thanked them.

The news of the first battle in the Korean city soon reached Cao Shuo's ears.

The leading army was advancing, and Cao Shuo, who got the news, frowned.

"The third prince is really greedy for merit, if it weren't for the dragon pattern riding strategy arranged by the prince in advance, this loss is not small." Guo Jia said on the side.

"Ziwen has experienced less things." Cao Shuo said: "He only knows how to lead the troops to fight, but he doesn't know that the battlefield is full of deceit, and one negligence will cause thousands of soldiers to die." ”

"Childe also has the intention to sharpen him, I think it's better to admonish him." Guo Jia said good things for Cao Zhang.

"The military order can't work, how can I lead the troops in the future?" Cao Shuo said: "It was because I was worried that he was greedy for merit, so I asked General Zhu to cooperate, but he still did such a thing......"

"No matter what, our army has won this battle after all." Guo Jia said: "The third prince has had a lot of merits, and the punishment is too heavy, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the soldiers." ”

Glancing at Guo Jia, Cao Shuo asked, "What does Fengxiao mean ......?"

"I mean that the merits and demerits are offset by the merits, and a few words of reprimand let the soldiers know that they cannot disobey military orders on the battlefield." Guo Jia said: "After this battle, the third prince will definitely be cautious in his future affairs. ”

"I'm afraid he doesn't have a long memory." Cao Shuo said: "Fengxiao doesn't need to say much, I'll wait until I see him and then make plans!" ”

Cao Chang occupied the Joseon county seat, and the soldiers were stationed in the city.

Cao Shuo had not yet arrived, and he did not dare to easily dispose of the prisoners of the Liaodong Army, so he only gathered people in one place and imprisoned them.

Two days later, Cao Shuo arrived.

went out of the city with Chen Zhi and Zhu Ao to greet him, and Cao Zhang was shirtless, with thorns tied to his body.

Seeing Cao Shuo from afar, he turned over and dismounted, and trotted to meet him.

In front of Cao Shuo, Cao Zhang knelt on the ground, raised his face and said: "Eldest brother, this time I am greedy for merit, if it weren't for General Chen's timely reminder outside the city, it would definitely involve General Zhu and two thousand soldiers, and please punish the eldest brother!" ”

Lowering his head and looking at Cao Zhang, who was guilty of Jing's plea, Cao Shuo asked, "Do you know it's wrong?" ”

"I know it's wrong." Cao Zhangying said.

"How many enemies have you killed in this battle?" Cao Shuo asked.

Cao Zhang replied: "Killed more than 500 enemies, captured 3,000, and the rest of the enemy troops ran away!" ”

"With only 2,000 people having such a record, it can be regarded as a good fight." Cao Shuo asked, "Who is the commander of the enemy army?" Where is he now? ”

"At first, I didn't know the name and surname of the enemy's commander, but later I learned from the captives that his name was Han Zhong." Cao Zhang said: "During the scuffle in the city, he was killed by me, and his head was also cut off by me. ”

"So you have a lot of achievements?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Make mistakes first, don't dare to take credit." Cao Zhang said: "Please also ask the eldest brother to punish him." ”

"I will punish you for standing on the school field naked-chested and carrying thorns for three consecutive days and shouting 'I was wrong', except for eating, sleeping, and going to the toilet, you are not allowed to stop the rest of the time." Cao Shuo said: "If it weren't for merit, I wouldn't spare you this time!" ”
