Xiahoudun thought for a while, suppressed this tempting thought, and said to Cheng Pu: "Demou, that Gan Ning is here, who knows if there are reinforcements behind him." If our three armies come out together, and this person escapes, or the Han army comes to help, your and my plans will be in vain. Isn't that more than worth the loss? ”

Cheng Pu thought about it, and it was. There is no need to expose Huang Gai and Han Dang for the sake of Gan Ning. Their real purpose was not to destroy Gan Ning, but to burn the Han army's grain storage place, so as to force Liu Bei to withdraw his army. That's the most important thing. After figuring it out, Cheng Pu had no choice but to say indignantly: "It's cheap." ”

Gan Ning didn't dare to act rashly, he set up camp first, and then dispersed the scouts. Seeing this, Xiahoudun chuckled, and then said to Cheng Pu: "Demou, this Gan Ning is not a wasted name, not a reckless man." But that's fine. You and I will raise troops to confront him here, and by the way, inform the righteous and the public, and let the two of them go north quickly. ”

On the second day, the Han army scouts came to report, saying that there was no ambush of the Cao army within a radius of dozens of miles. Gan Ning was overjoyed when he heard this, so he led his troops out of the camp and called for battle: "Xiahou Pifu, Cheng Pu Lao'er, dare to come out and fight with me!" ”

When Cheng Pu heard this, he was angry and was about to go out of the camp to fight with him, but he was held down by Xiahoudun. Just as he was about to persuade, the shouting and scolding of Gan Ning and the Han army outside came from afar.

"Xiahou Pifu, your brother has lost Nanyang and become a prisoner, and you still have the face to come out and lead the troops? Cheng Pu'er, you are old, can you still use a knife? If you don't dare to come out to fight, just go home and hug your grandson! ”

It's okay now, not only Cheng Pu, but Xiahoudun was also trembling with anger. Gan Ning was only happy there, and the junior colonel next to him asked: "General, we scolded so much, what if Cao Jun rushed out." We don't have as many of us. ”

Gan Ning glared and scolded: "Something that has no interest, I'm very afraid, hey, this Cao army, sneakily came from the north, maybe what the hell is going to do, how can you easily fight me?" Besides, even if you are willing to fight me, Lao Tzu is not afraid! ”

Of course Gan Ning is not afraid, not to mention that the powerful Han army behind him is backered, can't he still run if he can't win. He can fight tough battles, but he won't fight to the death.

Cheng Pu was so angry that he had to stand upside down, and he was about to rush out, but Xiahoudun himself was half angry, but he hugged Cheng Pu to death: "Demou, that husband has no fear, and there must be a follow-up." Not long after the righteous father and the public cover have gone, if they fight at this time and fall into the trap of the husband, they may be exposed to the righteous and the public cover. Let's bear with it first, when the righteous and the public are far away, you and I will go out of the camp together, and then we will definitely want the mouth-selling man to look good! ”

For the next few days, Xiahoudun and Cheng Pu only sat in the tent, and then listened to Cao Jun and Han Jun scolding each other. Gan Ning is a big surprise, Xiahou Dun doesn't know, Cheng Pu has been dealing with him for several years, but he is not such a good talker. Now that I can hold it, there must be a ghost in it!

Gan Ning thought about it and couldn't figure it out. I just don't want to. So he called someone again and asked him to lead someone to Liu Bei to report the news. When he caught up with Cao Jun before, he had already sent a letter on a flying horse. At this time, the messenger had not returned. After the others left, Gan Ning called the colonels, and then said: "Cao Jun is stationed here, and our army has insulted him several times, but he is unmoved. I want to raise an army to attack it, so that I can test its intentions. ”

Gan Ning's idea is very simple, since I don't know why you want to stay here and not leave or fight, then I will arch forward and take the initiative to fight with you. Look what the hell you're up to. Could it be that there are mines under the ground, and you are digging for gold?

When the lieutenants heard this, they thought about it in their hearts and felt that there was no other way. So they all said to Gan Ning that you are the boss, you have the final say, and we will act according to orders.

Outside scolding and scolding, the Han army turned around and left. They all retreated to the camp. Cao Jun was dumbfounded, saying that he didn't know what was going on, so he went back to report. When Xiahoudun and Cheng Pu heard this, they also felt strange in their hearts, so they came out to watch it together.

Who would have thought that he only saw the drums and trumpets in the Han camp, and after a while, the camp gate was opened, and the Han army poured out like a tide in a neat formation. Then, under the leadership of the drums, he slowly pressed towards the Cao army camp.

Cheng Pu saw it, and couldn't help but say in a loud voice: "It's not good, the Han army reinforcements are only afraid of coming." ”

Xiahoudun looked at Cheng Pu, and Cheng Pu explained: "A few days ago, Gan Ning only made people insult us, but he didn't dare to take the initiative to fight. That's because I have a lot of soldiers and few of them, so I want to lure us into battle, and they defend it according to the big camp. This time, it took the initiative to attack us, and it must be that the Han army has many soldiers and our soldiers are few, so the offensive and defensive situation is easy. ”

People say that the older the rivers and lakes, the less courage they have. The battlefield experience is too rich, so there are many reactions in the mind. Cheng Pu and Xiahoudun are both veteran generals, and they have fought countless battles in their lives. The belly is filled with all kinds of knowledge about war. Based on experience, they deduced that the reason why the Han army attacked was because reinforcements from the Han army had arrived. Otherwise, how would Gan Ning dare to attack more with less and take the initiative to fight?

Gan Ning's husband is very bad, this is to drag us down, and then drag us until the Han army reinforcements come, and surround us in a pot. We can't afford to be fooled by this.

Xiahoudun and Cheng Pu quickly reached a consensus, feeling that they could not fight Gan Ning here. can't be dragged down by Gan Ning, otherwise the safety of your army will be worried.

They made thousands of calculations and thoughts, but how did they know that Gan Ning was also helpless by them. So they wanted to launch a tentative attack and see what the hell they were trying to do. Where are the reinforcements of the Han army?

Gan Ning took the soldiers and horses and slowly walked to the Cao army camp, and saw that it was only two or three arrows away, seeing that there was no movement in the Cao camp, Gan Ning gritted his teeth and said: "All attack!" ”

The drums changed again, and the cavalry took the lead, divided into two teams, one on the left and one on the right, and galloped forward. The sword and shield hand in the middle protected the spearman, and also let out a shout, and began to scream and move his legs, and launched a charge. The archers who followed behind also ran wildly all the way, and when they saw that they were within range, the strong crossbow captain shouted: "Release!" ”

With a bang, countless arrows shot up into the sky, cutting an arc in the air, and then, under the traction of gravitational acceleration, they shot towards Cao Ying.

Xiahoudun said: "The Han army did not leave a back hand to launch a full charge, and sure enough, reinforcements arrived. Fortunately, the righteous and the righteous are gone. Demou, let's go too. Next, we will try our best to hold off this Han army and lead them around. ”

Cheng Pu sighed: "As long as the righteous and public overthrow can be successful, the old man will die on the battlefield, and there will be no regrets." ”

Gan Ning rushed halfway with the army, and suddenly found that in front of Cao's camp, there seemed to be no soldiers and horses? What the? Do you set up an ambush behind the camp to lure me into the camp and then fight back?

At this moment, the cavalry captain came to report: "General, Cao's army has retired!" ”

What, Cao Jun is going to run? Gan Ning said in a deep voice: "Rush in, break the village!" Pursuit! ”

The cranky thinking of the main generals on both sides led to the birth of a confused battle. The Han army rushed into Cao Zhai, and then pursued at the tail of the tail, breaking the rear guard of the Cao army, capturing countless captures, and returning triumphantly.
