This middle-aged man's name is Zhuang Cun, thirty-five years old. It was the people in the small village that Cao Ren passed by just now, who had been idle all his life. No children, no daughters, no wives.

But the middle-aged man's dream is very big, and his dream is to have a fortune in his lifetime, find ten big-ass mothers-in-law, and give birth to a litter of cubs.

But there is a long way to go from dreams.

For this dream, the middle-aged man once went out of the village alone, traveled north and south, and visited many places, but when he returned to the village, there was nothing but pain.

Despite this, the experience outside caused Zhuang Cun's eyes to be very poisonous.

At a glance, he recognized that Cao Ren and the others might be defeated, and there might be people chasing and killing behind them. If it weren't for the defeated army, if it weren't for being chased and killed, it would have been impossible to leave in such a hurry.

And Cao Ren escaped halfway with Niu Jin and others, he must be a big man.

Sorry for your life.

Therefore, Zhuang Cun believes that this opportunity to make a fortune is not good or rich.

Therefore, Zhuang Cuncai looked at Cao Ren and them with the same eyes as his daughter-in-law, and greed couldn't help but pounce on them.

But again, I held back. Pounce on it now, and you'll be crippled.

Zhuang is waiting, he has to wait for the pursuers behind him to arrive, and then sell the news.

When Deng Ai led the troops to kill, Zhuang Zheng said in his heart Sure enough, the army was imposing, and the soldiers were upright, and they really won the battle.

With great joy in his heart, Zhuang Cun did not hesitate any longer, got up and ran forward.

"General, general, the little one has something important to report." Zhuang Cun shouted as he ran.

Deng Aizheng led his troops to chase and kill Cao Ren with all his might. Zhuang Cun shouted abruptly, it was very dazzling, Deng Ai turned his head to look, and saw a middle-aged man running towards him.

Coarse cloth shirts, are ordinary people.

Deng Ai's heart moved, something to report? Could it be that this man has discovered something important? "Stop." Deng Aiyang raised his hand and ordered loudly.

"What?" Straddled the war horse, Deng Ai looked at Zhuang Cun condescendingly and asked.

"The little one saw a few people, broke away from the army in front of them, and fled towards the north." Zhuang Cun came to Deng Ai in a hurry and pointed to the Northern Dao.

During this period, Zhuang Cun was still bold and secretly glanced at Deng Ai.

When he saw Deng Ai's young face, he gasped in his heart, obediently, what a young general.

Although he was surprised by Deng Ai's youth, Zhuang Cun did not despise him in his heart, he traveled to the north and south, traveled to many places, and knew that sometimes people's abilities have nothing to do with age.

From Deng Ai being so young, but leading his troops to chase and kill, the general who looks quite old, can see the doorway.

Straddled the war horse, Deng Ai's eyes flashed because of Zhuang Cun's words.

If you break away from the army, you may be absconding alone. But it can also be a trap.

One trap was for Cao Ren to let some of the soldiers escape, deliberately letting the man see it. Another trap is that the man himself is Cao Ren's person. Point out the wrong direction.

However, even if he knows the trap, Deng Ai will not let it go.

"You lead eight hundred men in the pursuit." The decisive color in Deng Ai's heart flashed, and then he turned to the military marquis beside him.

"No." The marquis immediately took eight hundred of them and continued westward.

In an instant, it was out of Deng Ai's line of sight. Deng Ai withdrew his gaze and glanced at the remaining two hundred soldiers.

"Take him on and head north." At the sound of an order, Deng Ai came out of the crowd and took the lead to the north.

"No." The soldiers answered, and immediately set up Zhuang Cun and followed behind Deng Ai.

At this time, Zhuang Cun was very well-behaved, and let the soldiers drive, because he knew that if the news he said was correct, he would definitely be rewarded afterwards.

If it's wrong, you'll lose your head.

A leading general, no matter how young he is, will not trust a person for no reason. At least there will be some collateral.

In the north, after breaking away from the army for some distance, Cao Ren ordered a stop to rest. He looked back and saw that it was already far from the main road, and even if he took a break, he would not be noticed.

Now it's time to take a good rest, recuperate your spirits, and return to Wancheng.

Cao Ren found a random place to sit down, facing north. In Wancheng, there are the most elite 2,000 soldiers and horses left by him, as long as he returns to Wancheng, he will lead the soldiers and horses south again to collect the remnants.

It is not impossible to fight Liu Feng.

The only thing that makes Cao Ren pity is that the thousand people he managed to gather have now given up in vain.

The commander of the army really wanted to kill him. Cao Ren couldn't help but grit his teeth when he thought of the guy who had been chasing him for countless miles and always chasing him.

However, Cao Ren thought that although he was now separated from the army, he was safe. I couldn't help but feel a little more comfortable, and I didn't know if I was blessed.

No, it's not time to relax. Just when Cao Ren felt relaxed in his heart, a vigilance also rose from Cao Ren's heart, and now the distance was too close. You'll have to go a mile or two further north.

Thinking about it, Cao Ren stood up and glanced around at the people around him.

All of them are his own personal soldiers, and the only one who is not a personal soldier is Niu Jin. About fifty people. Including Niu Jin, what Cao Ren saw was a kind of joy for the rest of his life.

Cao Ren lifted his chest and took a breath, and said loudly: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and the shame of today will definitely be recovered." Now, we're safe. You can go back to Wancheng. ”

Hearing the word Wancheng, the eyes of the soldiers immediately swelled with extreme longing, under the influence of the nightmare fire bull array that failed in the crusade against Jiangxia.

These soldiers miss Wancheng very much, how tall the walls of Wancheng are, and how thick the walls are.

The eyes of the soldiers couldn't help but add a little brilliance. Cao Ren saw it in his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Although there are fewer people, these fifty people are also good.

But just when Cao Ren was about to go all out and order the whole army to move.

But from behind, there was a hearty laugh. "Where is General Cao going?"

Although the voice is strong, it can't hide a trace of immaturity. Immediately, the sound of a large group of people and horses moving reached Cao Ren's ears.

I only felt a muffled thunder in my head, which made Cao Ren dizzy.

Impossible, impossible. The big goal is still to the west, a very clear goal. Even if he thought that he would break away from the army and flee, it would not be possible to be so accurate, and at this time, this place found him.

Cao Ren suddenly turned his head, only to see about two hundred people appear in front of him.

At the head is a general, a young general. At this moment, Cao Ren calmed down, squinted his eyes and began to calculate how to escape.

But the more he calculated, the more he made Cao Ren desperate.

His army consisted of fifty men, and the opposing side was two or three hundred. If it was in normal times, Cao Ren had the confidence to fight with strong soldiers and fight with the other party. But now, people are sleepy.

Hunger is unbearable.

How to fight? And judging from the other party's unhurried pursuit, he is definitely a difficult person. It is extremely difficult to escape from the other party's hands.

Moreover, the strength to escape is gone.

In desperation, Cao Ren slowly pulled out the long sword at his waist and looked at Deng Ai deadly.

Immediately, word by word: "Come and report your name." ”

"Jiangxia is too guarded, General Yang Wu is under the military marquis, Deng Ai." Deng Ailang said. At this moment, he had already confirmed that the person in front of him was Cao Ren.

Because he saw Niu Jin, although Deng Ai had never seen Niu Jin, he had heard Zhang Gui mention it, and he was more impressed.

"At a young age, I know the truth of slowly drawing. It is really promising, if you are willing to follow me to the north, I will recommend you in front of Cao Gong, so that Cao Gong can cultivate you. Cao Ren gritted his teeth in his heart and opened his mouth to launch a final counterattack.

A kind of capital.

"Cao Gong unified the north, his strength was strong, there were many generals under his account, and the army was like clouds. On the other hand, Liu Feng only guarded the three counties and survived. How to decide, the little general should be cautious, cautious. ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Ren looked up at Deng Ai, but he didn't see the result he expected, and Deng Ai was unmoved. Cao Ren's heart couldn't help sinking.

Deng Ai is indeed unmoved, maybe Cao Ying is really the trend of the times. But Deng Ai will definitely not have any second thoughts.

It was Liu Feng who cultivated him, and his mother, who was still in Xiling City, was taken care of by Liu Feng.

And Deng Ai is not the kind of fool who is still bewitched by the words of the other general's words when he captures the other general. Deng Ai was not only unmoved, but ordered the soldiers behind him: "Fence up." ”

"No." The soldiers agreed in unison, and slowly stepped forward, not only surrounded by groups, but also looked at Cao Ren like a wolf, if Cao Ren made any changes, blood would definitely be splashed on the spot.

Niu Jin and Cao Ren's personal soldiers were nervous for a while, and immediately surrounded Cao Ren in the middle.

I want to fight, but I don't have the strength. If you exert a little force, you will be dizzy, and you will not have the strength to fight again. A wave of despair pervades this small army.

Cao Ren slowly glanced at everyone, these are all people who are in trouble together.

"After I'm gone, you will send this man down." As soon as the words fell, Cao Ren raised the sword in his hand violently and wiped it towards his neck.

As Cao Ying's brother, he has no possibility of surrendering. It is better to live and endure humiliation than to preserve your honor.

But at this moment, in an instant, Niu Jin stepped forward and grabbed Cao Ren.

"You." Cao Ren glared angrily and looked at Niu Jin deadly.

Niu Jin Yiran looked at Cao Ren fearlessly and said, "General, don't be afraid that there will be no firewood to burn." Cao Gong is powerful and resourceful, and he will definitely be able to find a way to save the general. ”

Not only Niu Jin, but also the soldiers around Cao Ren also looked at Cao Ren with such eyes.

There is a feeling called **Dai.

When Cao Ren drew his sword and killed himself, Deng Ai was shocked and nervous. Cao Ren, who has this hand, will die in vain.

What a loss.

Next, Niu Jin made a fierce move and took Cao Ren's sword. Deng Ai's tense heart suddenly relaxed.

"General Cao, rest assured, Jiangxia is a good place." Deng Ai smiled slightly and raised his fist towards Cao Ren.

Cao Ren almost fainted.
