At this time, Cao Cao still had a few generals who were confidants, but Cao Hong rushed out of the gang as the only representative, which also fully reflected Cao Cao's reliance on the same brother, as a person with the same surname and the first warrior under his own command, Cao Cao pinned all his hopes on Cao Hong, he hoped that Cao Hong could shine, Cao Cao as the caller of the conquest of Dong Zhuo to this war, he should have sent generals to defend the enemy, Cao Cao has always been cautious, He failed to send his subordinates to meet Hua Xiong before, also out of love for them, and another point is that he does not have full confidence in the ability of these generals recruited now, because since the recruitment of these people, Cao Cao has not been able to fight, these generals have not been able to fully perform on the battlefield, and they are not sure whether their force can be called to come, and they will win the battle, if he fails, what will his face be left? He didn't want to move out of his love generals like the previous princes and end in failure, if he moved out, he would definitely succeed, and only in this way could he establish his Cao Cao's excellence among the princes, Cao Cao had always pursued perfection and also had the ambition to surpass others.

This time sending Cao Hong to fight is also something that has to be done, the matter has reached this juncture, other princes have recommended talents, whether successful or not, at least they have fulfilled the corresponding obligations, and he, Cao Cao, as the initiator of the Kwantung Army, is indifferent in the face of this war, how to convince the princes? What will everyone think of him, Cao Cao thought about it again and again and decided to let Cao Hong fight, as a general of the lineage, Cao Cao gave him this honor.

Cao Hong is also a young and vigorous young general and coincided with the first battle of Wen Ping, so he also tried his best to let go of Yibo, but saw him shoot the horse and dance the gun out of the battle and quickly fought with Wen Ping, Cao Hong was not in a hurry to compare strength with Wen Ping, he was also an acute son, and immediately the steel gun swayed and sent out a ruthless move to poke Wen Ping, Wen Ping's big axe immediately caught the two and went straight to the topic as soon as they fought. The two weapons began to fight hard, and soon started fighting in terms of technique, Cao Hong's steel gun continued to make efforts to kill and kill Wen Ping, Wen Ping tried his best to resist with a big axe, Cao Hong's marksmanship was skillful, and it coincided with the flexibility of weapons. It is the opponent of the civil recruitment.

Wen Ping's big axe has a lot of weight, but such a weapon seems to be a little unadvantageous in terms of technical fighting, after all, it is not easy for such a heavy axe to shake off his arms and swing to the gun as much as he wants, so as soon as the two fought, Cao Hong occupied the initiative, a steel gun went straight in, and the focus of the fight was shifted to the technique, in the competition of techniques, Cao Hong's steel gun continued to attack Wen Ping, Wen Ping had to use the big axe to defend himself tiredly, and Cao Hong was like a lion kept pounced on Wen Ping

The two of them fought for twenty or thirty in a row, Cao Hong pounced for a while, and Wenpin's big axe was still parryed, and no one could defeat anyone. Cao Hong has been on the offensive, Wen Ping has been on the defensive, both of them are young and vigorous people, and they are also extraordinarily invested in fighting, and they have entered a stalemate at the beginning, Cao Hong failed to overwhelm Wen Ping with a pounce, after this while, Cao Hong's offensive gradually became slow, Wen Ping has been defending, seeing that Cao Hong's offensive weakened all of a sudden, Cao Hong was a little tired. He wanted to launch a fierce attack on Cao Hong, but after more than ten battles in a row, he found that he did not have enough strength to cause a strong counterattack against Cao Hong.

At this time, after this fierce battle, Wen Ping couldn't do it before, and launched a counterattack against Cao Hong like he overwhelmed Mu Shun. The only thing he can do is to gradually gain some offensive rights with his big axe, so that himself, who has always been passively defensive, gradually grasps some offensive initiative, and his offense must be gradually developed without being as fierce as before.

Wen Ping's big axe gradually began to fight back at Cao Hong, this axe has some weight, plus Wen Ping's strength, every attack is a lot of pressure for Cao Hong, but fortunately, Cao Hong can also hold on. The two of them fought for forty or fifty times in a row, and the camps on both sides were amazed, especially Cao Cao's ability to see the brothers of the same clan for the first time was powerful, and he did not disappoint him, although he failed to win, it was enough to compete with the young man sent by Dong Zhuo. He didn't lose face in front of all the princes

The fight between the two went on for more than 60 years and still won or lost, the two young people refused to give in, and they did not admit defeat is the opponent of chess, Dong Zhuo saw that Wen Ping could not win, so Ming Jin collected his troops and beckoned the army to withdraw to the tiger prison to guard it, Yuan Shao did not pursue, collected his troops and returned to the camp in order to fight again, the first battle between the two sides came to an end, and the soldiers of the two camps fought equally.

Dong Zhuo returned to the Tiger Prison Pass and immediately convened all the soldiers to discuss countermeasures, Dong Zhuo said to the soldiers: "Yuan Shao has fierce generals under him, we can't underestimate the enemy, it is better to stick to the pass and reject it, I believe Yuan Shao will not be able to support it for a long time!" ”

"The lord doesn't have to be like this, he Yuan Shao has generals, and we also have fierce generals, why be afraid of him? Tomorrow I am willing to go to war to save the morale of the lord! Zhang Xiu said.

Guo Yan also came out and said: "The lord must not lose his momentum in front of the Kwantung Army, if he is crushed by them, it will be difficult to clean up in the future!" ”

"The two generals are right! The lord must not lose morale this time, we must let them know the strength of our army, let them know the difficulties and retreat, even if they do not retreat, let them know that it is not easy to shake us, to let them know that we are powerful, force them to submit, after a long time they have no record will inevitably disintegrate from the German army, the so-called fighters, the military heart is very important! I hope the lord will think twice! The lord doesn't have to worry about fighting, I really can't do it, I'm willing to fight the Kwantung Army! Guan Yu came out to persuade.

Guan Yu's words opened suddenly, and Dong Zhuo immediately decided: "Who wants to fight against the Kwantung Army in Japan?" ”

"I'm willing to fight!" Zhang Xiu was the first to come out of the queue.

This time, Zhang Xiu finally grabbed the right to play.

Yuan Shao's army withdrew to the camp, and a military meeting was held at the moment, and the princes of the Eighteenth Road gathered in Yuan Shao's Chinese army camp, Yuan Shao said that everyone said: "Today's battle we fought a draw with Dong Zhuo, General Cao Hong contributed a lot, but folded General Mu Shun, General Cao Hong's courage is commendable, and Cao Hong was promoted to lieutenant on the same day, what are we going to do next?" Let's talk about it! ”

Cao Cao recommended: "The morale of my army is high, and we should attack tomorrow!" ”

"What Meng De said is reasonable, and tomorrow it will be a siege!" Gongsun Chan echoed.

Later General Yuan Shu said: "Could it be that Dong Zhuo is just sitting and waiting for us to attack?" ”

"Dong Zhuobing's generals will not give in easily, and he will continue to fight tomorrow! I heard that Dong Zhuo's Guan Yunchang bravely crowned the three armies, no one was invincible, he failed to fight today, I think it must be reserved for backup, if Guan Yunchang fights, how can we resist the enemy? Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xindao.

Yuan Shao said after hearing this: "Guan Yu is the tiger general of the world, I saw that he did not go out today, if he goes out, I am afraid we will be really difficult to deal with, Dong Zhuo just sent two second-rate generals before, we will be difficult to parry, if Guan Yu is out of the horse, how can we resist the enemy?" ”

"I have a lot of generals in the Eighteenth Route Army, 'a good wolf can't bite a group of dogs', we will also pile him to death when we use people, not to mention that we are not without brave generals, Zhang Yide in the past, Cao Hong today, there will be a second Zhang Yide and Cao Hong in the army in the future, isn't he Dong Zhuo also a Guan Yunchang? Could it be that he will fail to come out with a second one? What are we afraid of? Cao Cao argued.

Gongsun Chan continued: "There are still many generals in the army, among which there are many talents, our army has come from the original way, and it is advantageous to fight quickly, and it will not be able to support it if it is delayed. ”

Jizhou Mu Han Fu recommended: "The person Dong Zhuo relies on is Guan Yuye, as long as Guan Yu is removed, everything will be solved!" ”

"How can this be done lightly!" The party is too guarded and public.

Xiliang Taishou Ma Teng continued: "When Guan Yu comes to the sunrise to fight, why is it difficult to clean him up with arrows?" ”

Gongsun Zhan continued: "Guan Yu and Liu Bei and Zhang Fei beside me are righteous brothers, why don't you let the two of them persuade Guan Yu to vote?" ”

"Guan Yu has followed Dong Zhuo's side for many years, loyal and failed to rebel, and now Dong Zhuo dominates the Beijing Division, his power is so great, the future is not clear, will he give up this glory and wealth to join us? What a joke! Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin said disdainfully.

Gongsun Chan continued: "Try the head office! No, it's not inappropriate to think about using Matthew's way again! It's better than what we have done to impress the soldiers and lose the generals, and once we succeed, won't we have to take a lot of detours? ”

"That's not a bad idea! If Guan Yunchang solves it, Dong Zhuo will become an eagle with broken wings, and no matter how much he tosses, it will be useless! Cao Cao echoed Gongsun Zhan.

Yuan Shao stroked his beard after hearing this and said, "Hmm! In this way, let Liu Bei write a letter to Guan Yu to persuade him to vote, and if it doesn't work, he will continue to send troops to attack tomorrow! Get ready for the siege! Yuan Shao gave the order, the princes took the order and left, everyone was still talking while walking, Yuan Shao saw that the princes were so big-headed, he had always been a resourceful and decisive person, and he always felt that there were too many headaches when he took the position of the leader of the alliance

But it was said that Gongsun Zhan returned to the camp to find Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, and told Liu Bei about the things that had been discussed with Yuan Shao before, and Liu Bei said after hearing this: "This matter is difficult to say and easy to say, it all depends on what my second brother thinks now, if he really can't be moved by me, then I will persuade him on the battlefield!" ”

"Xuande is so well aware that righteousness is really a gentleman! If this success is done, it will be a great credit! Gongsun Chan continued. (To be continued.) )
