Zhang Fei couldn't figure out why Cao Ren suddenly appeared.

Judging from the previous intelligence, there are very few traces of Cao Ren. It can almost be said that where Cao Ren is, even Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi don't know.

In fact, Cao Ren originally had a task. But in the end, because of the change in the situation, Cao Cao changed Cao Ren's mission.

Cao Ren was arranged by Cao Cao to constantly move between the two lines of defense of Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou as the most powerful reserve force.

When Zhang Fei turned over the river and the sea in the defense line arranged by Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren's soldiers and horses happened to come to Xiahou Yuan's side.

Cao Ren saw that Xiahou Yuan's front was in a mess, and he knew that something was wrong, so Cao Ren asked his troops to immediately support Xiahou Yuan's troops, and he himself quickly came to join Xiahou Yuan.

Just when Xiahou Yuan was at his most dangerous, Cao Ren was able to lend a helping hand and shatter Zhang Fei's scheme.

Zhang Fei and Cao Ren were entangled together, and the two did not distinguish between victory and defeat.

Cao Ren is a guy who is not afraid of death, and the attack routine has always been the rhythm of forgetting life and death, plus Cao Ren was sure that Zhang Fei's weapon was too long and suffered a loss in close combat, so he kept sticking to Zhang Fei to fight.

In terms of martial arts, Cao Ren can be regarded as a top-class general under Cao Cao, and he can fight with Zhang Fei to a certain extent, and he will not be too far behind Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei was a little depressed, but one fight, two were also killed, and he didn't have many other thoughts about Cao Ren's intrusion except for being a little surprised. As long as Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan are killed, it will be enough.

Slowly, the situation of Cao Ren and Zhang Fei on equal footing changed dramatically. Zhang Fei's weapon is very long, and he suffers a loss in close combat. However, Zhang Fei is deeply aware of this, and after more than a dozen rounds of adapting to Cao Ren's routine, Zhang Fei began to counterattack, and the strength of the counterattack was very strong, reversing the situation of the battle between the two in one fell swoop.

Zhang Fei just held the interruption of the handle of the snake spear, used the snake spear as a big knife, and slashed directly at Cao Ren. In terms of using knives, Zhang Fei's brother-in-law Guan Yu is a representative figure of this era. Zhang Fei used to learn from Guan Yu when he was idle and had nothing to do, and learned a lot of moves with knives from Guan Yu, so Zhang Fei faced Cao Ren, who also used knives, and after becoming familiar with Cao Ren's attack routines, Cao Ren could only be beaten by escort.

Cao Ren is depressed. Over the years, Cao Ren has continued to refine his martial arts, and he thinks that he can fight with the best generals in the world. The cruel reality shattered Cao Ren's self-confidence.

When he was beaten by Zhang Fei, Cao Ren shouted while responding: "Miaocai, what are you still doing?" ”

Cao Ren thought of asking Xiahou Yuan to join forces with him to deal with Zhang Fei.

Xiahou Yuan naturally knew this, but the war horse he just now cut off Zhang Fei's leg, and he was saved by Cao Ren at the last time, but Xiahou Yuan still fell to the ground with the war horse. During the time when Cao Ren and Zhang Fei were fighting, Xiahou Yuan was busy getting up from the fallen war horse.

Xiahou Yuan had just gotten a new war horse, and after Cao Ren had just finished speaking, he killed Zhang Fei.

With the addition of Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren's pressure was greatly reduced.

"Zixiao! Let's join forces and kill this guy! Xiahou Yuan said loudly.

"Good!" Cao Ren responded with a simple word.

The two cooperated with each other, both offensive and defensive, but they trapped Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei was a little embarrassed, and there was a faint bad thought in his heart, could it be that he was going to capsize in the gutter this time and be killed by Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan?

When Zhang Fei was thinking wildly, the Liu army led by Ma Liang and the Cao army were already inseparable.

In the era of cold weapons, fighting was a bloody scene, Liu Jun and Cao Jun constantly had soldiers fall, and then the fallen soldiers were trampled into pulp by their comrades or enemies. This is reality, and there is nothing false about it.

A force appeared on the edge of the battlefield, and this force quickly rushed towards the battlefield of Cao and Liu's armies.

This army is Zhuge Liang's main force, an army commanded by Zhuge Liang himself.

After Zhuge Liang set off with Zhang Fei, he followed with his troops. Along the way, Zhuge Liang sent a large number of scouts to inquire about Cao's army. And the intelligence of Cao Jun and Zhang Fei's battle naturally fell into the hands of Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang immediately ordered the whole army to advance at full speed and rush to the scene as fast as possible.

Xiahou Yuan's lieutenant general was in charge of commanding and observing the situation, and he immediately discovered the anomaly on the edge of the battlefield. When it became clear that it was a large number of Liu Jun's troops who had arrived, the deputy general turned pale with fright.

"Oh no! Hit the trick! Without saying a word, the adjutant general hurried to find Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren teamed up to fight Zhang Fei.

And the Cao soldiers slowly moved closer to this side. With Cao Ren's troops joining, Xiahou Yuan's forces were replenished, and there were more troops to surround Zhang Fei.

Even some archers have already aimed at Zhang Fei, ready to give Zhang Fei some yin when Zhang Fei is not paying attention. The situation was very unfavorable to Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei thought to himself: "If this continues to drag on, it is estimated that the boat will really capsize in the gutter!" No, we can't trade at a loss. ”

After Zhang Fei withstood the attacks of Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren, the momentum of the whole person became strong again.

"You two have the general!" Zhang Fei's murderous appearance was very terrifying.

"Be careful, Zhang Fei is going to work hard!" Cao Ren hurriedly told Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan nodded in response.

At this moment, Zhang Fei's stormy attack broke out, and the snake spear attacked Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan's vital points everywhere.

Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan cooperated with each other and defended each other, which was able to prevent Zhang Fei's storm.

Zhang Fei's eyes, who didn't succeed, darkened, and it seemed that his best chance had passed.

"I can't stay here for long!" Zhang Fei made a decision.

Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren took defense as an offense, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack Zhang Fei.

But Zhang Fei had already made a decision, and when Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan had other plans, the snake spear turned and killed the Cao soldiers who surrounded him.

Cao Jun was stunned by Zhang Fei.

After killing the Cao soldiers in front of him, and having space to break through, Zhang Fei didn't stay for long, and directly began to drive the black horse to break through.

After Zhang Fei broke out of the encirclement, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren realized that Zhang Fei knew that he would be defeated after a long battle, and now he wanted to escape.

"What a shameless fellow! Soldiers, kill with this! Xiahou Yuan ordered Cao Jun to kill Zhang Fei.

At this time, Xiahou Yuan's adjutant general had already come to his side, pointed in the direction where Liu Jun's large army was coming, and hurriedly said: "General, the big thing is not good, there are an astonishing number of Liu Jun who are killing quickly!"

Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren looked in the direction pointed by the deputy general, and were immediately frightened, the black pressure troops were coming towards them, but they were busy fighting Zhang Fei just now, and forgot to observe the situation on the battlefield.

"Hit the mark!" Xiahou Yuan understood that he had made a mistake.

"Miaocai, Zhang Fei will kill this guy in the future! We are now organizing our forces to deal with the attack of Liu's army. Cao Ren said immediately.

Xiahou Yuan had already built a large number of fortifications before, and now with Cao Ren's troops, Zhuge Liang's army has not yet been killed, and Cao's army still has enough time to prepare.

"Just let that guy live a little longer! Zixiao, you take your troops into the fortifications, let's deal with Liu Jun's large army first. Xiahou Yuan listened to Cao Ren's proposal.

Cao Jun began to give up the pursuit of Zhang Fei.

And Zhang Fei didn't notice the abnormality and broke through. After a period of assault, Zhang Fei successfully broke out of the encirclement of Cao's army and returned to Ma Liang's side.

Liu Jun has two different attitudes towards Zhang Fei's safe return.

One is astonishing. Zhang Fei raided the defense line of the Cao army alone, killed countless people, and was able to come back unharmed, this kind of extremely strong and brave force is simply not something that people can do. But Zhang Fei just did it. Many Liu Jun soldiers immediately became Zhang Fei's brainless fans.

The other is complaining. Among them, Ma Liang is the leader. In order to rescue Zhang Fei, Ma Liang forcibly attacked the defense line of the Cao army, which sacrificed a large number of soldiers' lives, and it was strange that Ma Liang did not complain about Zhang Fei.

Ma Liang was both happy and angry when he saw Zhang Fei arrive unharmed, and said, "General Zhang, it's really good that you have returned safely. But why did you raid the Cao army on your own just now, if there is a case, how will you explain to the military advisor, how to explain to General Guan, and how to explain to Your Majesty? ”

After being told by Ma Liang, Zhang Fei was not dissatisfied, but smiled and said, "Ji Chang, I'm sorry." ”

A word of embarrassment sent Ma Liang away, Ma Liang was so depressed that he couldn't do it, and sighed: "I don't know what to say about you, when the military division comes, you'd better not talk nonsense." ”

"The military advisor is here? When did it happen? Zhang Fei didn't expect this.

Ma Liang was even more speechless, what is Zhang Fei's brain.

Just when Zhuge Liang was about to arrive at the battlefield, he sent a scout to communicate with Ma Liang.

Ma Liang turned around and found that a large number of Liu Jun's troops were rushing towards this side, which was why he did not order to stop the attack after Zhang Fei returned.

"Then I will continue to attack Cao's army." Zhang Fei thought that he still had Zhuge Liang's military order on his body, but now he has not completed it.

"Forget it, let's talk about it when the military advisor comes." Ma Liang will not let Zhang Fei take any more risks, and his trust in Zhang Fei has reached the lowest level.

Zhang Fei looked at Ma Liang in a daze, a little embarrassed.

It didn't take long for Zhuge Liang's army to arrive and join the battle with Cao's army.

With a large number of troops joining, the situation on Liu's side was very good, and Cao's army's defense line was precarious.

Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren observed the situation for a long time, and finally found that they could not continue to maintain this line of defense, so they ordered a retreat to the second line of defense.

In addition, Xiahou Heng and Xiahou Wei, who were knocked off their horses by Zhang Fei just now, did not die, they were both seriously injured, but fortunately, their lives were not in danger. His own son did not die in battle, and Xiahou Yuan's mood relaxed a lot, and his mind calmed down a lot.

The current situation is not in favor of Cao's army, of course Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren will not waste their troops here, anyway, the fortifications are more than this line of defense, and it is the right way to retreat to the second line of defense to continue to defend.

Moreover, Xiahou Yuan's second line of defense is stronger than the first line of defense.

Cao's army slowly retreated, and as the number of troops decreased, the first line of defense laid out by Cao's army fell into the hands of Liu's army.

The morale of Liu's army, who occupied the fortifications of the Cao army, was greatly boosted.

And Zhuge Liang, Ma Liang, Zhang Fei and others also converged.

In Zhuge Liang's temporary military tent, Ma Liang took Zhang Fei to report respectfully to Zhuge Liang.

"Humble duties see military advisors." Ma Liang is still wearing the costume of pretending to be Zhuge Liang, and the feather fan in his hand has not been thrown away.

Zhuge Liang looked at Ma Liang pretending to be himself in a daze, if he didn't know that this was Ma Liang, I'm afraid he would have suspected that it was a demon who jumped out of nowhere.

"Ji Chang, what are you doing?" Zhuge Liang asked.

Before Ma Liang could answer, Zhang Fei said in a snort: "Strategist, you don't know." In order to confuse Xiahou Yuan, Ji Chang called your name without your consent, and dyed his eyebrows black. Look, even the fan is exactly the same as yours. ”

Ma Liang really wanted to cover Zhang Fei's mouth, but when anything came to Zhang Fei's mouth, it became a little tasteless.

Hearing Ma Liang dye his eyebrows black, Zhuge Liang couldn't help laughing. But Zhuge Liang knew that Ma Liang attached great importance to his pair of white eyebrows, and it seemed that he was very attentive to being able to dye them black.

Zhuge Liang put away his smile and said to Ma Liang: "Ji Chang, you did a good job!" Your merits will be remembered by this military division. ”

This simple compliment made Ma Liang feel that he was doing the right thing and was recognized by Zhuge Liang.

"Master Xie!" Ma Liang said gratefully.

Zhuge Liang looked at Zhang Fei and asked, "Ji Chang is doing a good job." But relatively speaking, Yide, have you completed the task assigned to you by this military division? ”

"This? Military advisor, I had already killed Xiahou Yuan in front of him, and I was just a little bit short of being able to kill him. Who knew that there was a bad seed of Cao Ren, which ruined my good deeds. Zhang Fei touched his head and said.

"Cao Ren!? Are you sure? Zhuge Liang's eyes showed a fine light.

Zhuge Liang's purpose was to use Zhang Fei to attract the attention of Cao Jun and attract the forces of Cao Jun from all walks of life, so that Guan Yu could drive straight into Shouchun, and now it seems that Zhuge Liang's strategy is gradually taking effect.

"The last general doesn't dare to talk nonsense. The last general dared to act boldly, and did not complete the orders of the military division, so he asked the military division to punish him. Zhang Fei thought that Zhuge Liang doubted his words.

Zhuge Liang smiled mysteriously, and the feather fan in his hand pretended to be forced.

Zhang Fei and Ma Liang immediately understood that Zhuge Liang's calculation was successful. Because every time the calculation is successful, Zhuge Liang has such an expression, which is Zhuge Liang's bad problem.
