To put it bluntly, Cao Zhang is not afraid of Liu Chuang.

Even if Liu Chuang is famous, Cao Zhang will not feel the slightest fear when facing Liu Chuang.

has been with Liu Chuang for nearly a year, and he has more or less some understanding of Liu Chuang. This brother-in-law may be fierce to his enemies, but he is extremely generous to his relatives. Even if he and Cao Cao are enemies, they have always maintained a bit of family affection in it. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Liu Chuang and Cao Cao are tense and there is no room for reconciliation. But Cao Zhang knew very well in his heart that the relationship between Liu Chuang and Cao Cao was far from being as bad as it seemed to the outside world. As Liu Chuang said, he and Cao Cao are now difficult to ride a tiger.

However, Dong Li is different.

Cao Zhang had generally heard about Dong Li, and he also knew that the black boy was missing a tendon in his head, and no one in the world asked him to bow his head except Liu Chuang. Such a guy is born with divine power and is extremely murderous. Cao Zhang was not afraid that Dong Li would kill him, but he was worried that Dong Li would clean him up and make him lose face. It's not a good thing to make Dong Li angry...... That guy, but not the slightest bit serious.

"I'm going to Yanjing to ......"

Cao Zhang lowered his head and replied cowardly.

But Liu Chuang ignored him anymore, only waved his hand at him, and lowered his head to read the official documents.

Cao Zhangshen walked out of the big tent and saw Dong Li standing outside the big tent guarding. When he walked out, Dong Yan also saw him and smiled at him. The white Sensen's teeth made Cao Zhang's spirit chill, and he ran away with his head down.

Dong Li looked at Cao Zhang's back, revealing a puzzled look.

He didn't quite understand, why Cao Zhang saw him like a little sheep of the big bad wolf? Compared with Cao Zhang on the battlefield yesterday, it was like two people.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In mid-August of the ninth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao arrived in Baima.

He was about to take a rest, and then quickly rushed back to Xudu, but he didn't want to send news from the Tiger Prison Pass that Cao Zhanghe Dian Man had been captured by Liu Chuang.

After hearing the news at first glance, Cao Cao's heart was also tight.

"My lord. The third prince was captured by Liu Chuang, and he had to send people to the Tiger Prison Pass to try to rescue the third prince. ”

Dong Zhao was in a hurry, and hurriedly volunteered: "It's better to go to the Tiger Prison Pass and persuade Liu Chuang to release the third son?" ”

Who knows, Cao Cao calmed down. After a moment of silence, he suddenly smiled.

"Gongren doesn't have to worry, Ziwen is in the hands of Liu Chuang, and he has no worries about his life."

"Huh?"

"I still understand Chuang Er's temperament.

The fight between me and him will never involve Ziwen...... Now the Battle of the Tiger Prison. It's time to make it critical. Once the tiger prison is broken, I am afraid that there will be a decisive battle between me and Chuang'er. At this time, neither I nor him will back down half a step. Gongren, if you go at this time, it can only encourage Chuang Er's arrogance, and it is impossible for him to release Ziwen back at this time.

Ignore it. Just return to Xudu......

Pass my order, Gongming stationed in Xingyang, and ordered Wenlie to be stationed in Meishan.

Wen Ruo's letter, Xu Du has been quite restless recently, and those little ones are also about to move, so they must be guarded against. Since you are going to fight a decisive battle with Chuang'er, you must ensure that the grain road is unblocked. Chuang'er is no better than Yuan Shao, the mistakes Yuan Shao made back then. He will never do it again, and I have to be more careful. ”

Liu Chuang understands Cao Cao, and Cao Cao also understands Liu Chuang.

Dong Zhao didn't know how to comment on this pair of Weng sons-in-law, and after listening to Cao Cao's words, he could only smile bitterly and shake his head.

However, the facts also proved Cao Cao's speculation.

On the third day of Cao Zhang's captivity. Cao Cao received a letter from the Tiger Prison, and the person who wrote the letter was Liu Chuang.

Liu Chuang told Cao Cao in the letter: Ziwen is stubborn and underestimates the heroes of the world. A lesson must be learned.

Since you don't have time to teach him, it's better for me to teach him a lesson on my father-in-law's behalf. Yuwa is pregnant, and at the same time, she is depressed all day long because of the fight between you and me. I was worried that she would be bored at home alone, so I asked Ziwen to go to Yanjing and accompany Yuwa.

Liu Chuang's letter can be regarded as sincere.

After Cao Cao saw it, he couldn't help laughing......

Yuwa is finally pregnant, and the third generation of my Cao family is finally about to come into the world!

Although the child would eventually be surnamed Liu, Cao Cao didn't care. He has always felt a little indebted to Cao Xian, and now that Cao Xian has a child, it will further strengthen her position on Liu Chuang's side. At the same time, it also shows that Liu Chuang did not snub Cao Xian because of the battle between him and Cao Cao, which also made Cao Cao quite pleased.

It's just that......

Cao Cao calmed down immediately after his joy.

Because from Liu Chuang's words, Cao Cao also felt Liu Chuang's determination.

Liu Chuang is bound to win the tiger prison this time...... Presumably he had already made up his mind to have a decisive battle with Cao Cao, a complete decisive battle.

Two years ago, when Yuan Shao fell ill and died, Cao Cao had anticipated that the lord of the north would inevitably compete between him and Liu Chuang.

It's just that he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly, so fast that he was surprised...... Two years ago, Liu Chuang was only one and a half states, and it was all a bitter cold land, with a sparse population. But who would have expected that in just two years, he would dominate Hebei and sit in Liangzhou. Even from the foundation, Liu Chuang can't be compared with Yuan Shao at the beginning. But in terms of strength, Liu Chuang does already have the strength to wrestle with Cao Cao. This qiē is really fast! It was so fast that before Cao Cao could wake up from the joy of defeating Yuan Shao, he found that in front of him, an opponent who had almost surpassed Yuan Shao had appeared.

Unstable foundations?

As long as Liu Chuang can maintain his victory, the foundation will naturally be solidified.

Perhaps, Liu Chuang's qualifications are not as good as those princes, but as long as he keeps winning, what is his qualifications in the face of absolute strength?

Sure enough, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers!

Cao Cao suddenly felt an inexplicable tiredness......

Unconsciously, he is almost at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven.

didn't expect that at this age, he would have to face off against a junior. This also made Cao Cao suddenly feel that he was really old!

However, even if this is the case, I will not throw in the towel!

Want to become the Lord of the North?

Simple...... Take out your means and win, and I'll talk about it.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao suddenly felt a different kind of pride. This kind of pride. It seems that a few years ago, when he decided to fight Yuan Shao, he appeared. Since Yuan Shao's death, he seems to have lost this heroism. I didn't expect it to re-emerge at this time.

Five years ago, I defeated Yuan Shao here with less than more.

Now, I'm going to have another decisive battle with you in Guandu. If you Liu Mengyan really have the ability to defeat me, what does it matter if I lose?

"Meng Kang, pass my order, leave early tomorrow morning, and we will return to Xudu as much as possible!"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Liu Chuang didn't know that he was facing tremendous pressure. Cao Cao was highly motivated.

However, even if he knew, he would not have the idea of backing down because of this!

Sunny.

The autumn sun shone on the earth, but the halo of the sun revealed a faint color of blood.

Outside the Tiger Prison Pass, the Han army Chen soldiers lined up.

Three hundred winch crossbows were arranged in three rows in front of the formation. The catapults were more like ferocious monsters, crawling behind the winch crossbows.

The tiger prison was closed, and no one was seen.

At the juncture, Cao Jun's flag fluttered, and under the reflection of the sun, a touch of cold light flashed from time to time.

The Cao soldiers hid behind the women's wall, closely watching the movements of the Han army. Although the Han army had not yet launched an attack, the evil aura that swept in their faces was enough to make many people nervous. Even Cao Peng and Xiahoudun. I can't help but feel my heart beating. Not to mention, Guo Yi, who had never experienced such a solemn atmosphere, was as pale as paper, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, his heart pounding.

Is this the thug in Liu Chuang's hands?

Guo Yi fought with the Han army, but he had never felt such a strong murderous aura.

Soldiers, still the same soldiers. However, the coach was replaced by Liu Chuang, so that the morale of the entire Han army suddenly became extremely high.

Knock knock!

The rhythmic sound of war drums came from the Han army's array.

Liu Chuang jumped out of the horse. walked in front of the formation and circled for a while, and then restrained the war horse under the banner of the gate, raised the armor sword, and shouted: "Three army sons, the tiger prison is in front of you today."

After several years of fierce battles, it is now time for a decisive battle...... If the Tiger Prison Pass is broken, the Cao army will have no way to retreat; On the contrary, if we can't break through the tiger prison, we will become the object of ridicule of the world. Today, I should personally supervise the battle, and my sons should fight bravely to be the first, and not retreat. ”

"Break through the tiger prison and help the Han room!"

"Break through the tiger prison and help the Han room!"

The Han soldiers shouted in unison, and their voices echoed like thunder over the Tiger Prison.

Fa Zheng, Zhang He, and Gao Shun were all as heavy as water, and their expressions were solemn, only looking at the Jiazi Sword in Liu Chuang's hand.

Cao Peng couldn't help but swallow his saliva when the tiger prison was closed.

He turned his head, glanced at Xiahou Xuan, and suddenly laughed softly: "Uncle, today you and my uncle and nephew, there is no way to retreat except for fighting to the death." ”

Xiahoudun nodded and smiled.

"What about fighting to the death?

Since the first year of the first peace, since the lord of the first year, he has been fighting in the east and west, and has experienced more than 100 wars, large and small, and more than 1,000 people have died at my hands, so why not die? I am a sinner, and it will be okay for me to die in the tiger prison. You're young...... Listen to me, the eldest husband should serve the country with a useful body. You are brave and resourceful...... If the situation is critical, you can take Boyi to retreat first. I'll cover here...... Youxue, don't argue with me, you must know that only by living can you take revenge. ”

Cao Peng didn't answer, but suddenly pulled out his sword and stood up.

"The country has been raising me for a long time, and now is the day when we will serve the country.

The three armies obeyed the order and defended the Tiger Prison Pass, but it depended on what means the flying bear had...... Those who dare to take a step back will be killed on the spot, and there will be no mercy. ”

"Fight to the death, fight to the death, fight to the death!"

The tiger prison was closed, and the soldiers of the Cao army shouted in unison.

However, before their shouts fell, they heard the drums of war outside the Tiger Prison Pass suddenly stopped, followed by a thunderous roar: "Heavenly thunder fire prepare, throw!" ”

The armor sword in Liu Chuang's hand suddenly slashed hard, and then he heard a series of crunching sounds, and more than 100 catapults were launched in unison, and a heavenly thunder fire the size of a watermelon rose into the air and flew towards the head of the Tiger Prison Pass......
