Shi Xin and Cao Cao walked down the Tongque Terrace together, thinking about their own thoughts, and they didn't say anything all the way.

When he got closer, he saw Zhou Tai standing alone with Dian Wei staring wide-eyed, while Zhao Yun clasped his hands and stared at the stairs with tiger eyes. And Xu Chu blocked the staircase at the entrance of the stairs to prevent the two of them from suddenly grabbing it.

Shi Xin walked like a fly, and shouted when he was far away: "Youping, Zilong, let's go back to the camp and prepare for war!"

Zhou Tai finally breathed a sigh of relief, put aside Dian Wei, and walked quickly with Zhao Yun to meet him.

Cao Cao patted the shoulders of the two generals, "Zhong Kang, Dian Wei, let's go too!"

Dian Wei walked two steps, suddenly turned his head and glared at Zhou Tai and said, "Zhou Tai, wait for the real chapter to be seen!"

Zhou Tai was not to be outdone, "See you when you see it, hit you all over the ground to find teeth!"

The two of them were angry in the confrontation just now, they had fought to the death in the Holy Sect Trials back then, and this time new and old hatreds broke out together.

Shi Xin and the other three quickly rushed back to the camp, and Xu Rong and Fa Zheng were already looking forward to it.

Fa Zheng sighed obviously, "My lord, I finally got you back!" His eyes looked at Shi Xin carefully, and after making sure that he was in good condition, he said, "After you leave, the more Xu Dudu and I think about it, the more worried we become, if you don't come back, we will have to go over to ask for someone." ”

There was a slight hint of blame in his tone.

Xu Rong followed him, although he didn't speak, it was also a meaning.

Behind the two of them were the other four Five Tiger Generals in addition to Zhao Yun, all with respectful expressions on their faces.

Zhang Fei gave a thumbs up and praised: "The lord is heroic and courageous, I am convinced by Zhang Yide!"

Guan Yu said: "The big husband should act like this! Cao Ying is all a kind of person who sells his head, and he is not to be afraid! The military advisor and the governor are too cautious. ”

Fa Zheng and Xu Rong glanced at each other and smiled helplessly.

"Let's have breakfast first and get ready to go!"

Shi Xin gave an order, and all the generals agreed in unison, and the fish rushed in.

After breakfast, Shi Xin gave a short but uplifting speech in the camp to boost morale. The two sides had a round of gongs and drums, and the sergeants shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky.

At this time, Cao Cao's side had also heard the horn of attack.

"Let's go!"

Shi Xin and Cao Cao led their respective armies and marched forward with a clamour.

Today's sky is clear and the breeze is cool, and it is a good time to fight on the battlefield.

The pace of the men and horses on both sides remained astonishingly consistent, with flags waving in the air, people not saying or singing, only the sound of uniform footsteps.

The two lords, Shi Xin and Cao Cao, did not hide in the Chinese army, but rode their horses and walked at the forefront of the army. Behind them, they are followed by their respective generals and special troops.

On Shi Xin's side is Guan Yu's Glaive Battalion, Ma Chao's Fubo Cavalry, and Huang Zhong's Strongbow Battalion.

Cao Cao only had Cao Ren's tiger and leopard riding.

Shi Xinjun dispatched Xu Rong in the Chinese army, and the rear army was controlled by Bocai. Fa Zheng led 30,000 troops to stay in the barracks to deal with emergencies.

Cao Cao's central army was controlled by Xun Yu, and Xun Yu was in charge of the rear army. Cao Cao only left 10,000 troops in the barracks, and did not leave much way back for himself.

As a result, the strength of the two armies on the front line became 120,000 to 140,000, with Cao Cao having the upper hand.

On the flanks of the army, hundreds of fast horses galloped back and forth, far and near, raising clouds of dust. They are experienced scouts of the two armies, spying on military intelligence from a long distance and communicating at close range.

After a gong and drum, the two armies stood two miles apart. The three generals gathered around their respective lords and rode out of the ranks.

Zhao Yun and Zhou Tai were half a horse behind Shi Xin, and Zhang Fei was directly behind the three of them, with round eyes and leopard heads looking around, and there was a violent posture at any time.

Xu Chu and Dian Wei were like two moving iron towers, closely following Cao Cao.

Behind them was Pound, who once again held a red coffin on his shoulders, and suddenly looked a little creepy. The face is deadly and murderous.

Although Shi Xin and Cao Cao had just separated, the solemn atmosphere at the scene couldn't help but make him cautious.

Cao Cao took the lead in speaking: "Sect Master Shi, it is inevitable that you and I will fight today. But before the war, you can send your own generals to liven up the atmosphere. I don't know what to do?"

Shi Xin echoed: "That's right! In that case, why don't we summon all the generals forward and fight each other?"

Fighting before the battle will be the basic means to boost morale, and Shi Xin has five tigers in hand, and he is not afraid at all. However, Cao Cao actually took the initiative to propose, which made him somewhat puzzling.

Did he forget that in the pursuit battle in Yanzhou, he was controlled by Guan Yu alone, so that the whole army retreated?600

Did he forget that in addition to Guan Yu, there was also a Zhang Fei of the same level, who was irritable and impulsive and did not take human life as a human life?

The two recruited all the generals forward, and on Shi Xin's side were the five tiger generals plus their respective lieutenants, as well as Zhou Tai, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou. Among them, except for Yan Liangwen Chou, who was in the eighth rank and sixfold, the rest of the people were all in the ninth rank, and Guan Zhang even reached the cultivation of the ninth rank and three folds.

Although they are two levels lower than Shi Xin's cultivation, they have no guidance, no pills, and completely rely on their own talent and hard work to upgrade, which is different from the situation where Shi Kimchi constantly encountered and Cao Cao's yang energy broke out in exchange for his life.

Ma Chao was a high-minded and arrogant person, and seeing that Zhao Yun, who was at the same time as him, had also risen to the ninth rank, how could he not be in a hurry? During this period of hard work, he cultivated hard, and finally rose to the ninth rank on the eve of the war.

Huang Zhong's competitive heart is not weaker than that of young people, he is the eldest of the five tiger generals, and he always holds back a lot of energy in his heart. Lian Po's mental method is a perfect fit with him, and under the talent of "being old and strong", he has also risen to the ninth rank and zero weight.

On Cao Cao's side are Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Cao Ren, Pang De, Zhang Xun, Ji Ling, plus the two major military divisions Xun Yu and Xun You.

The number is about the same, but Zhang Xun and Ji Lingba are threefold, which is higher than the deputy general on Shi Xin's side.

As for the other six, Pang De and Xun Yu were at the peak of the eighth rank, the other four were all at the ninth rank, and Cao Ren was the highest at the ninth rank.

Shi Xin looked at the other party's cultivation one by one with Tianyantong, and he was even more sure in his heart.

"Guan Yu, this is for you!"

There was a sudden loud shout in the field, Pang De rushed out, threw his hands hard, and the red coffin flew towards Guan Yu like a cannonball.

Shi Xin felt helpless, what is Pound's obsession with the coffin, every time he carries one out, isn't he tired?

Before Guan Yu could react, one of them had already strode out, blocking in front of Guan Yu, and shouted: "Bold fanatic, if you want to challenge General Guan, you are not worthy!"

Under the shadow of the cyan knife, there was a "click", and the coffin was split into sawdust.

Pang De saw the person who came, and it turned out to be Yan Liang, the general of Hebei.

"Hmph! The so-called Hebei Shuangxiong, when did he become Guan Yu's lackey, so eager to come forward for the master. ”

Pound snorted coldly, pointed forward with the coffin knife, and insulted.

"Bah, you are not only a lackey, but also a disloyal and unrighteous lackey who does not recognize your master. Your master Ma Mengqi is here, why did he vote for Cao Cao?" Yan Liang sneered.

Pound was furious: "What did you say?"

Yan Liang walked out slowly: "It's you, what are you staring at? I was poked in the sore spot, and I was annoyed and angry, right?"

Pang De took a deep breath, it was a matter of fame, and he had to make it clear: "Back then, I desperately escorted Ma Mengqi to escape from Wuwei, and escorted him to the Central Plains to join Shi Xin, I have already repaid the kindness of the old lord, and I have nothing to do with the Ma family." ”

raised his voice and shouted to Ma Chao: "Ma Mengqi, am I right?"

Ma Chao had a calm face, "Yes, Pang Lingming took the lead when he was in Liangzhou, and he was the first in every war, and he has always been the general that my father relied on the most." Later, I rushed back to Wuwei again and again to take revenge, but I was also well protected, and even wore heavy injuries and almost died. Your kindness to my Ma family has been completely repaid, and I, Ma Chao, even owe you. ”

Pound's relationship with Ma Chao is a bit complicated. Normally, Pang De is loyal to Ma Teng, and he and Ma Chao are the two generals that Ma Teng relies on the most. Before Ma Chao officially took over the inheritance, Ma Teng killed Sima Yi and Han Sui. Pang De only called Ma Chao the young master, and never called the lord.

Later, they were brought to the Central Plains by Puci from the Gobi, and Ma Chao went to Shi Xin with all his heart, and Pang De felt that Cao Cao was the master in his mind, so he had a long talk with Ma Chao.

Nominally, Ma Chao is still Pound's young master, as long as Ma Chao insists, Pound has to follow him. But Ma Chao has lost the capital to dominate the world, and after defecting to Shi Xin, he is at most a general, and forcibly leaving Pang De behind is somewhat difficult for a strong man.

After all, Pang De is different from Ma Dai and Ma Yunlu, and he and the Ma family are only masters and servants. When the master dies, he becomes a free man and is qualified to pursue his ideals.

The result of the conversation is like this, Ma Chao was relieved and reluctantly let Pound go.

Yan Liang laughed: "That's Ma Mengqi's generosity, you are not only not grateful, but take it for granted." Now that you meet the young master, are you worthy of the old master?"

Pang De was not good at words, and he was choked by Yan Liang and couldn't argue, and said loudly: "Then it's not your turn to be an outsider to point fingers." Yan Liang, get out of the way and tell Guan Yu to come out and die!"

Yan Liang seemed to hear the most ridiculous joke in the world, and laughed and said: "Haha, I'm laughing to death, with your cultivation, you also want to challenge our General Guan, I'm afraid it's not self-inflicted?"

Pang De didn't think so, his eyes skipped over to Yan Liang and glared at Guan Yu Senran and said, "Guan Yu, don't you dare to end the game, send this clown to gossip, do you want to be a turtle with a shrunken head?"

Yan Liang shouted: "Your grandmother, who is the clown? Let Lao Tzu meet you!"

Just as he was about to jump off the field, he suddenly heard Guan Yu snort coldly: "Yan Liang, you are not his opponent, get out of the way!"

"What?"

Yan Liang's face turned red, and he was about to argue, but finally grunted and swallowed the words back into his stomach.

For Guan Yu, he has a kind of awe from the heart, and under this premise, all emotions have become dissipated.

Shi Xin laughed, "General Guan, since Pang De wants to die, then you can fulfill him!"

Guan Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, replied yes in a deep voice, and strode out.

According to his temper in the past, he had already shouted "Pound's traitor", and then rushed out without warning. But after being reminded by Zhuge Liang, he learned to restrain his temper, especially his attitude in front of the lord.
