Knowing that Cao Ren was captured again, Cao Hong was shocked, and set up camp ten miles back to discuss with Cheng Yu about saving people.

Cheng Yu said: "General Cao has a strong temperament, he was captured for the second time, even if he is redeemed, he will not be able to see the prime minister again, only by rescuing him can he be persuaded to change his mind." ”

Cao Hong thought so, frowned and said: "Liu Qitun's troops outside the city, and the defenders respond to each other, how should this be good?" ”

Cheng Yu stroked his beard and said: "Liu Qi gathered elite soldiers to defend Bowang, and related to Zhang and other tiger generals, you can't rush to send troops, only wait for the opportunity, Prime Minister Hou Cheng's army arrives, and then fight with him." ”

Cao Hong was also helpless, he alone could not fight against Guan Zhang's generals, so he had to set up camp, using Ye County as a place to store grain, waiting for Cao Cao's army.

The two armies confronted each other for several days, but before they knew it, it was already April, the weather was getting hotter, spring and summer alternated, it was rainy and rainy, and when Cao Cao's troops arrived, it was already the beginning of May.

In Bowang City, in addition to training, the generals are competing in martial arts, and Zhang Fei and Gan Ning are the most intense, both of them are aggressive people, plus Wei Yan, the daily military camp is very lively.

Liu Qi collected intelligence with Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, discussed the art of war and strategy, and under the guidance of the two, he had a deeper understanding of the operation in the era of cold weapons, coupled with the accumulation of his own historical experience, and his progress was also extremely fast.

On this day, Cao Cao's army arrived and was heading to Bowang to kill, Liu Qi took a deep breath: "Cao Cao, it's finally here!" ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Sun Tzu said: First in the battlefield and wait for the enemy, and then in the battlefield and tend to the war to work." Although Cao Jun is powerful, I am waiting for work, and I am invincible in terms of time, place, and people! ”

Xu Shu nodded and said, "We are well prepared, and this battle will definitely stabilize Nanyang." ”

Liu Qi was also full of confidence in this battle, looked at the gloomy sky, and said loudly: "Let the storm come more violently!" ”

Zhuge Liang went out, gently shook the feather fan and looked at the sky, the cold wind was blowing, and after a while, he said: "Tomorrow the sky will be clear, and from now on, you can order someone to transport grain from Wancheng, once every three days, there must be no mistake." ”

"Uh......" Liu Qi thought to himself, this Zhuge Liang is known as a generation of virtuous ministers, and he is too eyeless to dare to demolish the lord's platform?

secretly slandered himself, ordered Kou Feng and Fu Wei to be responsible for transporting grain, obeyed Zhuge Liang's dispatch, and the rest of the generals waited for Cao Jun to come to fight.

In the camp of the Cao army, Cao Hong, Han Hao and others knelt on the ground and told Cao Cao about the war, and the front army lost more than half of it, and Cao Ren was lost, and the morale was extremely low.

Cao Cao sighed lightly, ordered a few people to rest in the back camp, ordered Xu Huang to reorganize the men and horses, command the front army, and Xiahou supervised the Chinese army, preparing to raise troops to take revenge.

The military advisor Xun You said: "Liu Qi is assisted by Zhang and other tiger generals, and Zhuge and Xu Shu are strategic, and the defense is not leaky, and Bowang City is surrounded by mountains and rivers, so it is not suitable to attack, so you should use strange strategies." ”

Cao Cao stroked his beard and sneered: "Zilian and Zixiao are both scheming and belligerent, underestimating the enemy, although our army has been defeated repeatedly, losing 100,000 soldiers and horses, but Yu is just a skin!" Liu Qi took Jingzhou in the new leadership and won several battles in a row, young people will be arrogant, how can the arrogant soldiers be undefeated? ”

Xun You nodded and said: "What the prime minister said is extremely true, but he can be arrogant and wait for an opportunity to break the enemy." ”

The next day, the weather was clear, the sun was in the sky, Cao's army brigade arrived at Bowang, the two armies set up a position, and Cao Cao called Liu Qi to answer.

Liu Qi came out of the battle, hugged his fists and said: "The prime minister is summoned, don't you want to redeem Cao Ren?" ”

Although Cao Cao's figure is slightly shorter, he has an elegant bearing, and he has been in the top position for a long time, and he has a momentum of deep and long, with slender eyes, giving people a deep color.

"If I ransom Cao Ren, I will harm his life!" Cao Cao squinted at Liu Qi on his horse, secretly surprised.

I thought he was a sick and thin person, but when I saw that he was full of complexion, handsome, and very similar to Liu Biao in Luoyang, I thought of the poem he made, and I was shocked.

Do you really look away, this son learns to practice lying on the salary and tastes the courage, and the depth of the city is far beyond the people of his generation.

After thinking about it, he said in a deep voice: "Liu Qi, if you don't assist your father to defend Jingzhou, you dare to attack my soldiers and horses, and want to rebel?" ”

Liu Qi laughed and said: "The prime minister also knows that his father is the lord of Jingzhou? But I don't know how to explain the troops stationed in Nanyang and watching Xiangyang? ”

Cao Cao said coldly: "Nanyang is owned by Zhang Xiu, and now it is returned to the imperial court and dedicated to the country, so what is wrong with sending troops to take over?" ”

Liu Qi said with a smile: "Zhang Xiu was desperate back then, and it was his father who lent Wancheng to him, what right did Zhang Xiu have to give it away?" Since I have taken Jingzhou, I should take it back, so what's wrong? ”

"Young man, don't be too aggressive!"

Cao Cao glared at Liu Qi angrily and said in a deep voice: "Do you know that under the whole world, is it not the king's land?" I am now rebelling against the order of the Son of Heaven, and as a child of the clan, I dare to resist the heavenly soldiers? ”

"Hahaha!" Liu Qi looked up to the sky and laughed, pointed at Cao Cao and scolded sharply: "Cao Cao, everyone knows that you are famous and dragged the Han Dynasty, but you are actually a national thief, bullying the Son of Heaven, and killing your colleagues, how is it different from Dong Zhuo?" A certain clan member of the Han family, since he should serve the side of the righteous Qing monarch, except for traitors, traitors like you, and dare to claim the mandate of heaven, I have never seen such a brazen person! ”

"Bold!" Cao Cao was counted down by Liu Qi in front of him, and he was so angry that he shouted: "Where is Xu Zhongkang? ”

"Liu Qi'er, take your life!" Behind Cao Cao, a sturdy general flew out and took Liu Qi directly.

Liu Qi looked directly at Cao Cao, unmoved, as if he was disdainful of Xu Chu's thunderous impact.

"Rest hurting my lord!" With a broken drink, I saw a white shadow flying in, and it was Zhao Yun who answered the horse.

Xu Chu held a thick-backed machete in his hand, and slammed it at Zhao Yun with a roar, only to see Zhao Yunliang's silver spear tremble, and it instantly burst out with ten thousand points of coldness, which was dazzling

Jingle Bell –

only heard the deafening sound of a series of weapons colliding, as dense as raindrops, which forced Xu Chu to retreat, and the corner of the robe was picked up.

There was an exclamation in the Cao army, Xu Chu was the first brave general in the army, but he was blocked by this white-robed young general.

Cao Cao's eyes widened suddenly, and he exclaimed, "Who is this?" ”

Xiahoudun replied: "This person is Changshan Zhao Yun, the first Gongsun Zhan, and then followed Liu Bei to wander all over the place, and he has never been famous. ”

Cao Cao stared at Zhao Yun and frowned, "Why can the big-eared thief win good generals repeatedly?" ”

I saw Zhao Yun with a gun like a spiritual snake coming out of the hole, killing Xu Chu angrily, hurrying and envious.

When he was observing, he caught a glimpse of the front of the opposing army, Guan Yu was caressing his three-foot long hair, raising his knife and looking at him obliquely, the red rabbit horse had its ears erected, its hooves and tails swinging, ready to go, and couldn't help but jump in his heart, and retreated into the formation first.

Liu Qi raised his eyebrows and smiled, and then he slowly returned to the battle, just in this confrontation, he won in momentum.

Even if Cao Cao has Xu Chu, it is in vain, his current lineup is stronger than the five tiger generals, if he wants to fight generals, it is exactly what he wants!

The two of them were fighting in the field, although Zhao Yun's marksmanship was exquisite, but Xu Chu's strength was infinite, although the moves were slow, but he forcibly shook the bright silver spear away, and many killing moves were forcibly blocked.

The two fought for more than 30 years, Xu Chu looked embarrassed, and was attacked by Zhao Yun in a circle, but he did not show his defeat, and his defense was impenetrable.

Like a reef in stormy waves, let the wind and waves hit, stunned and immovable.
