Cao's army was defeated and retreated to Fancheng, and Cao Ren, the defender of Fancheng, was very angry and killed many deserters. At that time, Cao Cao was still raising troops, and Cao Ren did not wait to tell Cao Cao, so he accumulated grain and stationed troops, and wanted to lead troops to fight with Liu Bei and others.

Deputy General Li Dian persuaded: "Liu Bei is a masterpiece in the world, and besides, Duan Dahu who got the secret report is also in Xinye. Duan Dahu is not only a righteous brother with the prime minister, but he is also strong in martial arts, so he is still careful. ”

Cao Ren did not listen and insisted on leading his troops to attack Xinye.

Seven days later, Cao Ren led 10,000 soldiers and horses, Haohao Tangtang came to Xinye City. This time it was not like Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang's soldiers and horses, but the regular army of Cao's army, and there were few new field soldiers, even Xu Shu did not dare to let everyone meet the enemy outside the city.

In the past few days, Xu Shu has only done one thing, that is, to train soldiers. These Jingzhou soldiers have not been in battle for a long time, and they are like a plate of scattered sand when they fight, but Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei are not good at this. Xu Shu's arrival opened everyone's eyes, and it turned out that the training soldiers could be like this:

Every morning at five o'clock, he ran 20 miles with his weapons, and after he returned, he practiced marksmanship and archery non-stop. In the afternoon, it was real fighting time, in a group of five, and the soldiers who were ranked last were not allowed to eat......

Duan Dahu, the lord of Xinye City, has been sullen in the past few days, and he has been drinking all day long, he has an amazing amount of alcohol, and Zhang Fei, who drank it, had to go to the toilet to escape, because Xu Qianxue was gone.

Liu Bei was also puzzled: "After arriving in Jingzhou, Miss Xu went out early and returned late, but later she disappeared." I sent soldiers to inquire in many places, but they found nothing, not even a single letter left. It's really weird!" But he comforted Duan Dahu and said: "Brother Xian, Miss Xu is strong in martial arts, I think she has some personal matters to do, but there is no need to worry, she knows the news of you in Xinye, and she will definitely come quickly." ”

Duan Dahu was also reasonable when he heard it, who doesn't have a private matter anymore?

He didn't worry about Xue'er's safety, how could there be so many masters in this Jianghu!

Hearing the news that Cao Ren was leading troops to invade Xinye, Duan Dahu insisted on going to fight Cao Ren in person. Among Cao Ying, he has the best relationship with Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Xiahoudun, Cao Hong and others, all have close personal relations with him, Cao Ren is older, although they have seen each other on weekdays, but they do not have too many deep friendships.

Cao Ren and Li Dian took all the generals and scolded under Xinye City, asking Duan Dahu and Liu Bei to surrender the city. After scolding for a while, I suddenly heard a drum sound on the upper floor of Xinye Castle, which began to pace very slowly, but it was able to grasp people's heartstrings. Then it got faster and faster, like a storm.

There are large and small eight-sided stone drums on the top of the city tower, Zhao Yun holds a drumstick, her body is graceful, and she is dressed in white and fluttering, and she personally beats the war drums. The drums did not stop, and there was a loud rumble, and at the opening of the Xinye City Gate, Duan Dahu rode out and took Cao Jun Daxu directly.

"Duh!" Li Dian shouted, and slapped his horse with a gun, blocking Duan Dahu's way.

Duan Dahu was using a knife on the battle array at this time, but it was very different from when he went down the mountain. In the past, he used to open and close with a knife and win with bravery. At this time, the knife is used, and the knife intent is emphasized. After a knife, the internal force of the longevity formula in the body is like the water of a river endlessly, and where it is intended, it is where the blade is.

Li Dian fought with him for less than ten rounds, Duan Dahu's knife technique did not have a fixed routine, he was terrified when he killed directly, and stabbed Duan Dahu in the belly of the horse with a shot, Duan Dahu just stretched out his knife to block it, but saw that Li Dian did not turn his head back and turned his horse back into the battle.

Duan Dahu shouted: "Li Dianxiu is leaving!" and single-handedly broke into the Cao array. There was a cannon shot in Xinye City, and three military horses poured out, but it was Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, who were murderous and rushed towards Cao Jun, and the momentum was shocking!

Cao Ren was shocked and ordered: "Don't panic all the troops, the archers shoot their feet!" For a while, arrows rained down, but it was difficult for the soldiers and horses of the three roads to clash forward.

Duan Dahu saw that Cao Ren could stabilize his position in this situation, and secretly praised Cao Cao's brother for really having the style of a general! But the flying horse came towards Cao Ren, Cao Ren was not to be outdone and raised his gun to block, and all the generals of the Cao army beat the horse to aid Cao Ren, and Duan Dahu slashed the two of them left and right, and saw that the charge was hopeless, and returned to Xinye City in laughter.

The Xinye City army also came and went in a hurry, and they were all withdrawn in an instant. On the entire battlefield, only the 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Cao Ren were silent.

Long.

Cao Ren's face was embarrassed, and he said angrily: "Li Dian slackened the morale of the army in front of the station, and sold the battle to the enemy general today, it is really a great shame!

Li Dian was stunned for a moment, turned off his horse and bowed to the ground, and shouted: "Wronged! Duan Dahu's martial arts are world-famous, and he really didn't deliberately lose to him." All the generals pleaded hard before they spared Li Dian.

......

......

In the evening, Cao Ren's anger calmed down a little and arranged for everyone to set up camp. Summoned all the generals and said: "Duan Dahu bravely crowned the three armies, and there are the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang and Zhao Yun to defend Xinye, and we are at a disadvantage by fighting generals. ”

Li Dian asked, "How do you fight soldiers?"

"I have been familiar with military books since I was a child, and in the past few years, I have studied a set of formations, called the 'Eight Golden Locks' array, which is divided into rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, and opening eight doors, there are eight eight or sixty-four changes, and the end is complex and abnormal, and the power is overwhelming. Those who don't know this formation, no matter how many people you enter, it will be a dead end!" Cao Ren said.

The generals were overjoyed and praised Cao Ren's wisdom and scheming. As he was talking, a cold wind blew along, and the door of the tent was blown up, and the candles on the table were bright and dark. When the lights and candles were restored and everyone watched, there was a man in black in the center of the big tent. He wore a black cloak, and he was dressed in

The man in black came from nowhere, but he startled everyone, and their faces changed color and they drew their swords to kill the assassin from nowhere.

I only heard the man in black laugh and said, "General Cao, is this your hospitality?"

Cao Ren's face was suspicious, but after all, he was a general, so he calmed down and asked, "Who is the honorable driver?"

The man in black said with a smile: "I am the 'black general' of the Yin and Yang family among the hundred sons, and I was entrusted by the leader to help the general break through Xinye. ”

All the generals were talking about it, and no one knew where this Yin Yang Family, which had been silent for hundreds of years, came from? Cao Ren was also dumbfounded, and said: "I have never had anything to do with the Yin and Yang Family, so I don't know what Your Excellency has to say here?"

"Hey," the black demon general sighed, "Now in the rivers and lakes, no one knows about my Yin and Yang family?" After he felt sorry for himself, he said, "The general doesn't need to know who I am, just know that I'm here to help the general." Fang was outside the tent, listening to the general's Eight Gate Golden Lock Array was really powerful, but Xinye City had a new military advisor surnamed Xu Mingshu, this person has a talent that penetrates the heavens and the earth, and I am afraid that a formation born out of the Bagua Array will not be difficult for him. But if you add my Yin and Yang family's 'black line enchantment', hehe, I'm afraid this new wild is at your fingertips!"
