In the early morning of the second day, the main force of Young Master Zhuge approached Xudu, and the outpost came to report that the Cao army was arrayed outside the city of Xudu.

Zhao Yun was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Zhan'er, Cao Jun abandoned the fortified city and chose to fight a decisive battle with our army under the city of Xudu, this is really a godsend!" If we can defeat the Cao army in one fell swoop and occupy Xudu, and welcome the Han Emperor into Shu, then the world will be shaken, and the people of the four seas will return to the wind, and there will be no harm to the great cause of the lord! Zhao Yun was very excited, as if the revival of the Han family was vaguely at hand.

Fu Shiren on the side also nodded in agreement, and all the generals were happy, but Sun Jiao was on the side, unhappy and dull.

Young Master Zhuge secretly noticed Sun Jiao's expression, sighed, and said, "Let's wait until we defeat Cao Jun!" ”

Young Master Zhuge , Zhao Yun and Sun Jiao led the cavalry directly to the city of Xu, and at this time the Cao army had been lined up at the south gate for a long time. It was the middle of winter, the cold wind was fierce, many soldiers were shivering from the cold, the north was cold and dry, and people at this time did not have anti-freeze skin care products, many soldiers had frostbite on their hands and feet, and their hands holding shields and weapons trembled slightly in the cold wind.

At the front of the team, Cao Pi was under the handsome banner, looking far away, and saw from a distance on the official road in the east, a group of people and horses roared over, raising a puff of smoke and dust, Xiahou Shang was overjoyed when he saw this, and pointed to the Shu army and said: "Shizi, they are coming!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Pi nodded with a smile, and subconsciously looked at a dense forest east of Xudu, where there were three thousand Cao army cavalry in ambush, ready to wait for the Shu army to be attacked from behind.

The Shu army approached, and five hundred meters away, the Shu army stopped and lined up to confront Cao's army.

After the two armies finished arranging, Cao Pi stepped forward and said loudly: "Please answer the commander of the Shu army!" ”

Hearing Cao Pi say this, the generals of the Shu army looked at each other, their faces were embarrassed, it stands to reason that according to the qualifications of the Shu army, it should be Zhao Yun, and according to the military rank, Young Master Zhuge and Zhao Yun are at the same level, but this is easy to do, the key is that this time it is a coalition army, and Wu Jun is also a shareholder, which is not easy to do! After a while, it was Young Master Zhuge who spoke first: "In our army, General Zhao is the most respected, and the Wu army is respected by General Sun Jiao, so it is better for the two of them to go out to answer!" ”

When Sun Jiao heard this, he waved his hand again and again and said: "My Jiangdong is participating in the war in the name of the Shu army this time, it is not appropriate for me to come forward, I think it is better for General Zhao to come forward!" ”

When Young Master Zhuge heard Sun Jiao say this, he knew that Sun Jiao didn't want Sun Quan to set himself on fire, so he smiled and said to Zhao Yun: "Since General Sun Jiao is unwilling to go, then let me accompany Master on a trip!" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yun nodded with a smile and said, "That's very good!" ”

Zhao Yun hit the horse forward, Young Master Zhuge followed, and Zhao Yun made a mistake with a horse's head, and when he was a stone's throw away from Cao Pi, he saw that Cao Pi was on the left, and he looked at each other angrily, with a face of Chinese characters, short beard, eight feet long, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his might was abnormal.

Cao Pi saw Zhao Yun and Young Master Zhuge standing still, and spoke first: "The opponent's general can have a name!" ”

When Zhao Yun heard this, he sneered, and replied in a loud voice: "King of Hanzhong, General Zuo, Yuzhou Mu, Zhao Yun, the general of Zhendong under Uncle Liu Huang." ”

Young Master Zhuge also immediately replied: "Zhuge Zhan, the general of Zhenbei under the command of the King of Hanzhong! ”

When Cao Pi heard this, his face showed surprise, he didn't expect Zhuge Zhan to be so young, and said: "Prince of Wei, Cao Pi!" ”

When Zhao Yun and Young Master Zhuge heard this, they were shocked, they didn't expect Cao Pi to fight in person, which was indeed beyond their expectations.

Before the two of them could react, Cao Pi refused Ma Lang and said: "Since you two are Han Chen, don't you know that Xu Du is the location of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, you led the army to invade the territory and offended the Son of Heaven, do you want to rebel?" ”

When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he sneered: "What a thief shouts to catch a thief, your father and son are embarrassed to be traitors, although they are called Han Xiang, they are actually Han thieves, bullying the Son of Heaven, abusing the people, abusing and killing relatives, and poisoning the phoenix, dare to ask yourself if you are such a loyal minister?" ”

When Cao Pi heard this, he was furious and said: "Presumptuous, since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, rebellions have broken out, traitors are in charge, and the heroes are rampant in the world. However, Liu Xuande, who was strong and reckless, divided one side, did not follow the edict of the Son of Heaven, did not care about the suffering of the people, and resisted the heavenly soldiers for his own selfishness, so that the four seas could not be unified for a long time, and the people were poisoned by war, this is a real thief! ”

When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened in his heart, later generations said that Cao Pi was both civil and military, talented, Young Master Zhuge didn't believe it, but today he listened to Cao Pi's words, and couldn't help but believe most of them, and said that the founding monarch who could open the foundation of the country was really not good at it.

couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said with a smile: "Facts speak louder than words, even if your tongue is sharp, you can't wash away the infamy of your father and son and national thieves, let's argue again, it's pointless, let's see the high and low on the battlefield!" ”

When Cao Pi heard this, he sneered and said, "I'm afraid you won't succeed!" ”

The four of them turned around and returned to the formation, Young Master Zhuge and Zhao Yun stood side by side, looking at the Cao army from a distance, the 3,000 cavalry of Xiahou Shang, the former military division of the Cao army, and the 10,000 foot soldiers of Sima Yi behind the formation, with swords and halberds, neat military appearance, clear banner, and from a distance, quite majestic. Young Master Zhuge immediately sighed unconsciously: "From them, I understand why Cao Cao was able to change from weak to strong in twenty years, and finally swept away the Central Plains. If we have such a majestic army, why worry about the world! ”

When Zhao Yun heard this, he pursed his lips disapprovingly, and said: "A certain has also fought with Cao Jun many times, and they have not opened a head more than others, why should Zhan'er be so ambitious and destroy his own prestige!" ”

When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he smiled and didn't say anything.

At this time, the war drums sounded in the Cao army's formation, and the first war drum was to tell the soldiers that the war was about to start! The commander of the Shu army rushed to attack, all cavalry, and it was impossible to carry heavy war drums, so the Shu army took the war drums of the Cao army as the name. After the first battle drum was completed, the Shu army drew out the long sword from their waists, held the long sword tightly in one hand, and the tip of the sword was pointed to the ground. Immediately, the second war drum sounded, and the cavalry of the front army of the Shu army unsheathed their swords and were in a state of preparation for charge. The third puff up, Young Master Zhuge pulled out his long sword from his waist, swung it forward, and shouted, "Rush! Then he took the lead and rushed over.

At this time, on the opposite side of the Cao army, Xiahou Shang was also holding a spear, taking the lead, and the cavalry of the Cao army followed closely and rushed over. The two armies were connected, countless soldiers fell to the ground, the two armies fought together, and the sound of fighting shook the sky.
