Cao Zhang was confined by Li Ru for a day before he calmed down. Strange to say, Cao Zhang is not responsible for defense, and there is no one outside the city. Li Ru couldn't guess whether Nan Ye outside the city had calculated whether Cao Zhang was locked up or found out that he couldn't get scolded for three days, so Cao Zhang gave up.

Looking at the unchanged scenery in the courtyard, thinking that there was still a large army besieging the city outside the city, Cao Zhang was restless. Looking for Li Ru to ask for battle: "All the generals are in the city, what kind of system is I sitting here alone?" I also asked Wen Xiansheng to let me go to the city to garrison. ”

Li Ru shook his head and said: "Your Highness is going to the city to fight again, it is better to recuperate in the mansion, and wait until the three armies attack the city and then call the general to go to the city to fight." ”

Cao Zhang was imprisoned for a day and felt that he was about to be suffocated, where to wait for the army to attack the city, so he begged Li Ru and said: "The three families and horses are building equipment outside the city, and I don't know when it will be completed." Could it be that I've been staying in the house and doing nothing? Please also give me the opportunity to go to the city. ”

Li Ru thought that it was not a problem to put Cao Zhang under house arrest, so he said to Cao Zhang: "If His Royal Highness is ordered to guard the north of the city, is His Highness willing?" ”

If this question had been placed a few days ago, Cao Zhang would definitely not be willing, but at this time, as long as he could leave the house, Cao Zhang would not be picky, and nodded at that time: "The last general is willing to obey the order!" ”

Li Ru nodded when he saw Cao Zhang's agreement, it is safest to be unguarded in the north of the city, if it weren't for Li Ru's initial consideration of Cao Zhang's feelings, he would have wanted to arrange him in the north of the city for a long time, and now Cao Zhang's willingness to go would be better. So Li Ru ordered Cao Zhang to guard the north gate, and Deng Yi and Liu Xian were also transferred back and arranged for Niu Jin to be the deputy general. There are not many available generals under Li Ru's command, and he is not rich enough to use three generals to defend the empty north gate.

Cao Zhang knew it as soon as he arrived at the north gate and Nanye, and what made him even happier was that Cao Zhang hadn't brought a deputy general this time. But there was no one in the north, and Nan Ye didn't know who to arrange to fight, so he invited Liu Bei and Sun Quan to discuss together.

Sun Quan didn't take Zhou Yu this time, and the only one under his command who can be called a wise general is Lu Meng. Although Nan Ye has Guo Jia, he has the intention of hiding clumsiness. So Nan Ye, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei all looked at Zhuge Liang, waiting for him to come up with an idea.

When Zhuge Liang saw the three of them, he shook his feather fan lightly and said: "There is no need to fight today, not only today, but we will not fight for three consecutive days, so as to slow down the morale of the army." Three nights, we can arrange it like this......"

Li Ru did not see the soldiers and horses for three consecutive days to attack the city, and Cao Zhang's confinement for one day before was already four days, which made Li Ru feel at ease. A few days ago, Cao Zhang's defense was fought by young generals on either side, which made Li Ru have to suspect that there were detailed works in the city to reveal the city defense. At this time, the enemy army did not come to the north of the city to call for battle, and the possibility of the existence of the fine work was minimized. Li Ru felt that perhaps Cao Zhang's visit to the city was too ostentatious, which attracted the enemy soldiers to call for battle. Thinking that there was nothing to do in the city, Li Ru naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

Cao Zhang's three days of guarding the city did not see anyone coming, but the idle egg hurt. But everyone has an inferior nature, and Cao Zhang's character is a bit cheap. Before he was jumped by Ling Tong, Liu Feng, and Huang Xuqi, gritting his teeth and almost having a cerebral hemorrhage. Now that no one has come to provoke him, he is bored again, and he can't wait for someone to scold him under the city.

Guarding the empty city gate, Cao Zhang also felt bored, so he simply found a leeward and shady place to sit, and asked a few cronies to walk around the mountains together, drink a little wine, and settle down leisurely.

On this day, Cao Zhang was drinking, and a soldier came to report: "There are four horsemen outside the city gate to watch the city, it seems that three families are exploring horses and working carefully." ”

Cao Zhang, who had nothing to do, was overjoyed when he heard that someone outside the city was watching the formation, and said to the soldiers: "Take me to see it quickly." ”

The soldiers led Cao Zhang to the city, and sure enough, four people rode horses under the city and pointed at the city. Cao Zhang's hand put on the pergola and looked at it, and he suddenly became angry. It turned out that the four people under the city were not outsiders, but the four young generals Ling Tong, Huang Xu, Liu Feng, and Guan Ping.

The four generals under the city also seemed to see Cao Zhang, and when they saw Cao Zhang, they did not retreat but advanced when they went to the city, and they came to a place a stone's throw away from the city gate. These four people did not scold, but directly raised their right hands together, raised their middle fingers, and then raised their big fingers, wiping their throats in uniform and provocative.

Although Cao Zhang didn't hear a scolding, there seemed to be a scolding voice from the four in his ears: "Your mother! "you!"

The silent invective under the city made Cao Zhang, who had just finished drinking, angry and out of control, and ordered several cronies: "Open the city gate quickly, I will definitely break the four thieves into pieces." ”

Several generals also knew that Li Ru was not allowed to go out of the city, so they persuaded: "Your Highness, don't fall for such villains." ”

Cao Zhanghe sneered: "The four of them came here without soldiers and horses, they must have wanted to lure me to fight the generals, and then capture me together." I didn't get into it, so I led a large army to see how the four of them were my opponents. You wait to pass on my general order, order 5,000 soldiers and horses to go out of the city with me to capture the four thieves, and the rest of the soldiers will guard the city. Also, don't tell Wen Xiansheng about this. ”

When the generals heard that Cao Zhang was going to beat four people in a group to win more, he also felt that there was nothing to worry about. There are no three families outside the north gate, and if five thousand to four loses, Cao Bing can commit suicide en masse.

Although Cao Zhang is proud and belligerent, he is not stupid. Although he had never fought with Liu Feng, Huang Xu, or Guan Ping, he knew that Ling Tong's martial arts were not bad. Cao Zhang used Ling Tong to measure the three generals of Huang Xu, and asked himself if he had the ability to fight four Ling Tong alone, so he led the army out of the city to capture the four generals.

Huang Xu and the other four young generals did not rush to run when they saw the city gate open, but immediately crossed their knives and waited for Cao Zhang. Cao Zhang saw that the four generals did not run, nor did they lead the troops to rush to kill, but ordered the men and horses to go out of the city and line up. It would take some time for 5,000 men and horses to go out of the city from a city gate, and if Cao Zhang opened the door, he would rush out, and there would be more than 100 people who would follow him, and he would not be able to give full play to the advantage of the 5,000-strong army. The four generals did not leave, Cao Zhangle had to first deploy men and horses outside the city, and then rush together to kill and capture the four generals.

Just when the men and horses in the city were about to be exhausted but not finished, Liu Feng suddenly jumped in front of the horse formation, pointed a gun at Cao Zhang, and shouted: "Cao Zhang's child, dare not use the army to fight me?" ”

Cao Zhang saw that Liu Feng was alone and said without fear: "Why don't you dare, eat my halberd!" "After that, he rode his horse and wielded his halberd and went straight to Liu Feng, with 5,000 troops on the side, Cao Zhang really didn't need to be afraid.

Liu Feng has the highest status among the four young generals, but his martial arts are the worst, where is Cao Zhang's opponent. The two fought but three together, and Liu Feng was defeated and left.

Cao Zhang's experience in leading troops is indeed not much, but there is a lot of experience in heads-up, whether Liu Feng is deliberately deceitful or has low strength, Cao Zhang can see at a glance. Seeing that Liu Feng was indeed defeated and fled away, Cao Zhang raised his halberd and waved it: "All the gentlemen will follow me to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!" Then he led 5,000 men and horses to chase after him.

Liu Feng was almost scared when he saw Cao Zhang's close pursuit, although his task was to deceive and lure the enemy, but at this time, the fake show was really done, and he couldn't help but be afraid. It's like a person trying to take a bone to lure a pug, only to find that the pug has become a Tibetan mastiff. Although the task has not changed, it is all about leading dogs, but this gap in heart is really not easy to bear.
