The messenger returned to the Wei camp and reported what the Han camp saw to Cao Xiu, who heard that Zhang He and the others were indeed injured, and the battalion was also collecting vehicles.

On the second day, seeing that the Han army's boats and boats had all gone down the river, Guan Yu personally boarded the boat to drill the navy, and Jiangdong He Qi and Liuzan were the sailors, leading large and small ships to shuttle back and forth.

I saw that there was a degree of advance and retreat, and it ran freely in the turbid waves, but this temporarily formed naval army was even more neat than the one that I had trained in Huainan for three years.

The more Cao Xiu looked at it, the more angry he became, and pointed to the fleet on the opposite shore and scolded: "Jiangdong rats, surrender without a fight, they are all thieves who bend their knees and turn their backs on the master, what kind of face do you have to show off your might in front of me?" ”

Looking at the room, Guan Yu took the building boat to ride the wind and waves, crossed the center of the river until the front of Liyang Village, stopped in a stone's throw away, pressed the side of the boat with his hand, stroked his long hair, and looked at the north bank, which shocked the Wei army to retreat.

The waves were rolling, the warship was undulating, Guan Yu was like a green dragon out of the water, and said coldly: "Cao Xiu Xiaoer, you are known as the Cao family's thousand-mile horse, can you dare to fight with Guan Mou?" ”

Cao Xiu was furious, pointed to the boat and shouted: "Why don't you dare, you have the ability to come ashore." ”

Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes were exposed, and he stroked his beard and said: "You are a water general, why don't you get off the boat and fight?" ”

"Hmph, when I'm a three-year-old?" Cao Xiu sneered coldly: "Guan Yunchang, you don't have the courage to go ashore, why do you have to send troops?" ”

"Vertical Zi'an dares to underestimate Guan?" Guan Yu was furious, and he was about to order the navy to dock the warship to fight Cao Xiu.

On the side, Guan Ping and Zhou Cang hurriedly persuaded him, and Zhou Cang personally got off the boat and turned the rudder, turned the boat around and left.

Cao Xiu ordered people to fire arrows in unison, although he failed to hurt the other party in the slightest, but he thought that he had increased the morale of the three armies, and he looked up to the sky and laughed.

Full of favor said worriedly: "The general angered Guan Yu this time, but I am afraid that he will send troops immediately and miss a major event." ”

Cao Xiu shook his head and said: "The army has no jokes, then Guan Yu has the best face, since the order is sent tomorrow morning, there will be no change." I deliberately provoked him this time, so that he would personally board the ship tomorrow to fight him, so that he could attack him. ”

Only then did Man Chong suddenly say: "It turns out that the general is a radical general, and Guan Yu has brought humiliation on himself this time." ”

Cao Xiu smiled proudly: "A certain party deliberately provoked him with words, but also to test Guan Yu's temperament, I don't want to be the same as back then, and it is difficult to change my true temperament, which shows that punishing Zhang He and the others is definitely not a plan." ”

Man Zhong admired: "The general is high." ”

The battle was imminent, as Guan Yu went away angrily, the Wei army was also very vigilant, the two armies prepared separately that night, the lights on both sides of the river were bright, and on the eve of the decisive battle, even the waves on the river seemed to be much calmer.

After the third watch, Cao Xiu led the elite soldiers to detour in the direction of Puyang, and there was already a fleet waiting on the river bank, crossing the south bank of the men and horses, and then turning back to the vicinity of Baimajin, and the hour was nearly five watches.

The spring breeze warmed, the days were gradually longer and the nights were shorter, and the east had gradually turned white, Cao Xiu hid the men and horses in a mountain col, and sent scouts to the front to inquire about the news, and his heart was beating wildly.

Unexpectedly, the sky was already bright, and the soldiers had finished eating, and they heard the faint thunderous drums in the distance, and they were all ready to standby.

Cao Xiu stood on a rock, hid under the green pine and watched, Tanma came twice to report that the Han army had disembarked and sent troops, but there was no information about fireworks, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

If Zhang He and Yu Ban are transferred, even if they succeed with only his soldiers and horses attacking the camp, I am afraid that it will have little effect, and it is not worth fighting to the death.

The drums became more and more intense, and when he was hesitating to retreat to the river bank to defend it, suddenly a thick smoke rose into the sky from the southeast, like a beast of fierce beast coming out of its cage, quickly spreading in the morning breeze.

"Order, the whole army attack!" Cao Xiu was overjoyed, and immediately jumped off the rock and came to the col to meet the enemy on horseback.

Bai Majin was covered by black smoke in an instant, the sky was dark, the Wei army rushed to the Han army camp with the wind and smoke, and saw the fire raging from a distance, the entire camp was burned, and the people and horses on the shore were panicked.

Cao Xiu was overjoyed, took the lead, and attacked the back of the Han army on the bank of the river.

"Who is coming...... Zhang He? Cao Xiu hurriedly reined in his horse, and when he saw the person who came, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Junyi, the plan is done!" ”

"Yes, it's done!" Zhang He nodded slowly, and the horizontal gun stopped in front of him, standing still.

Cao Xiu hurriedly said: "General Zhang quickly killed the enemy with me, and revenge is in front of you." ”

Zhang He was full of color, and said sharply: "The Cao family usurped and colluded with foreign clans, how can a certain dignified Hanchen be in the company of traitors, and today he is about to behead you and other traitors." ”

"Huh?" Cao Xiu was stunned for a moment, then his face changed greatly, and he scolded angrily: "Zhang He dog thief, you dare to lie to me? ”

Zhang He sneered: "Like you, such a plaster disciple is just a reputation touted by each other, in vain, if it is not for the identity of the Cao family, how can you be above a certain place?" ”

"Today, I will let you know that Cao is powerful!" Cao Xiu saw that the Han army continued to pour out after the smoke, and he knew that he was in the plan, and at this time he had to fight to the death, and roared to take Zhang He directly.

Zhang He's face sank like water, and he came forward to fight with his spear, and the Wei army was moving forward to meet the enemy, and suddenly the people and horses behind him were in chaos, screaming endlessly, but it was Yu Ban who led the troops to kill, and attacked back and forth.

This time, in order to capture Guan Yu, Cao Xiu broke the cauldron and sank the boat, and the elite was exhausted, including 500 tigers and leopards, but the enemy was attacked on the back and back, and it was still difficult to resist the offensive of the Han army, not to mention that there was also Yu Ban's command, which killed the Wei army on their backs.

Cao Xiu and Zhang He fought for more than 20 years, regardless of the winner or loser, turned his head to see Yu Banzheng leading the troops to kill, and scolded: "Yu Ban betrays the villain, I swear to kill you!" "Attack.

"Take care of yourself first!" Zhang He let out a deep sigh, and the head of the gun was as fast as lightning, stabbing at Cao Xiu's left ribs.

Cao Xiu was frightened and hurriedly lay on the back of the horse to dodge, but Zhang He had expected it, his wrist sank, and the head of the gun was suddenly pressed down, like an iron rod, and hit him the back.

"Poof-" Cao Xiu snorted, spitting out a mouthful of blood on his horse, and his eyes were full of stars.

"Those who descend will not be killed!" Zhang He raised his gun and shouted.

"Hahaha-" Cao Xiu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, gritted his teeth and laughed angrily: "Cao Jiaerlang, how can you bend your knees to surrender to the enemy?" ”

At this time, the Wei army had fallen into a heavy encirclement, and all the soldiers and horses around were killed, only the tiger and leopard cavalry were still barely fighting, but they were all separated by Yu Ban, and they were fighting separately, and they were in danger.

Cao Xiu knew that the general trend had gone, and the second time he was in a bitter plan, which made him ashamed and angry, and he felt shameless, and he circled Ma Lai and Zhang He desperately, and died on the battlefield vigorously, far better than the shame and defeat.

At this time, Cao Xiu was like crazy, regardless of his own danger, he roared and only rushed to kill in front of Zhang He, and before he reached Shihe, he had been shot several times in his body, and the blood flowed like an infusion.

Seeing that Cao Xiu was bent on begging for death, Zhang He sighed in his heart, shook his hand and picked him off the horse, and shouted to Yu Ban in the distance: "General Yu, it's time for you to make a move!" ”

Yu Banzheng commanded the soldiers to surround and kill the tiger and leopard riders, and when he heard the sound, he looked over and saw Cao Xiu rolling down the grass and turning into a bloody man, unable to stand up, but he still drew his sword and crawled towards Zhang He.

Yu Ban's expression was complicated, and after a little hesitation, he finally gritted his teeth, pulled his bow and shot at Cao Xiu, the arrow hit his eyebrows, and he was killed on the spot!
