Three Kingdoms: I, Liu Feng, do not want to die

Dong Cen and Shao Nan looked at each other and were secretly delighted, but neither of them planned to return to Chaisang.

After discussing for a while, Dong Cen advised: "General, I think that Governor Zhou is now in a suspicious place, and we have been here for a long time. If we return rashly, it may arouse suspicion. If we are accidentally intercepted by Liu Feng on the way back, it may ruin your plan."

Shao Nan also said: "Since Governor Zhou has sent seven letters in a row and sent the two of us as hostages, his determination to surrender to Wei will not change. In this case, why not wait until we reach Chaisang and contact Governor Zhou? By then, even if we arouse suspicion or are intercepted by Liu Feng, the general can deal with it calmly."

Cao Xiu thought about it for a while and suddenly felt that what the two said made sense.

There were many cases of messengers being captured by the enemy and leaking secrets while traveling.

The fact that Dong Cen and Shao Nan were able to put themselves in Cao Xiu's shoes made Cao Xiu trust them even more.

"In that case, I will do as you two say. When I take Poyang, I will not treat you two unfairly. If you two can make more contributions, you can be granted titles of nobility!" Cao Xiu "generously" promised.

Dong Cen and Shao Nan were delighted to hear this and bowed in thanks.

Cao Xiu was even more proud, as if Poyang was already in his grasp and Jiangdong was within his grasp.

the other side.

The messenger sent by Yu Jin also arrived in Luoyang after five days of rapid travel and presented the general report.

Upon learning that it was Yu Jin who sent the military report privately and that Yu Jin strongly demanded that the military report be presented to Cao Pi in person, Cao Pi felt both headache and anger.

According to normal procedures, it should be Cao Xiu who sent someone to submit the military report, rather than Yu Jin reporting it over the head, and it is even more impossible for a small soldier to present it in person.

Cao Pi did not make things difficult for a small soldier and refused to allow him to see the emperor. However, after meeting the soldier, Cao Pi's tone was not very friendly: "I have already issued an order that the two of you should not fight. How dare you disobey the order!"

Although the messenger was too frightened to look up, he did not forget to remind Yu Jin: "Your Majesty, General Zhennan did not fight with General Zhengdong. General Zhennan told me that the reasons have been fully stated in the military report, and I must personally hand over the report to Your Majesty, otherwise I will never forgive his crime even if I die."

Cao Pi couldn't help but frown.

Didn’t Yu Jin fight with Cao Xiu?
Why would they send the military report privately if there was no dispute, and why were they so cautious as to fear that the military report might not be delivered?
After realizing that there was a misunderstanding about Jin's presumptuous behavior, Cao Pi ordered the attendant to fetch the military report and spread it out for a closer look.

It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but when he did, Cao Pi was shocked.

"I only asked Cao Xiu to keep a close eye on the changes in Jiangxia and Jiangdong. Why did Cao Xiu suddenly send out troops?"

Cao Pi felt something was wrong.

If only Zhou Yu wanted to offer Poyang, Cao Pi would not think there was anything wrong; but with Liu Feng waiting outside Chaisang, Cao Pi dared not be careless.

Wen Pin’s death is still fresh in our minds.

What if Liu Feng repeats his old tricks and openly plans to take Jiangdong, but when he sees that he has no chance to take Jiangdong all for himself, he turns around and tries to seize Pingchun? Wouldn't he then go from being a fisherman watching the snipe and the clam fight to being a mantis stalking a cicada?
Cao Pi urgently ordered Shang Shu Jiang Ji and Fujun Sima Yi to come to the palace to discuss the matter. With such a big change, Cao Pi was afraid that a wrong judgment would lead to a big mistake, so he consulted with Jiang Ji and Sima Yi first to be safe.

Not long after.

Jiang Ji and Sima Yi entered the hall one after another.

Upon learning of the incident that Cao Xiu had decided to send troops, Jiang Ji and Sima Yi were also shocked.

Jiang Ji pondered and said, "Your Majesty, I think the General Zhennan's worries are not unreasonable. The people of Wu are cunning and treacherous, so we must be on guard.

Zhou Yu of Poyang sent seven letters of surrender and left his confidants as hostages. This was too deliberate and coincidental. The art of war was full of falsehoods and realities, aimed at luring the enemy deep into the territory. If one was not careful, they would fall into the trap.

Therefore, I think we can let General Zhendong enter Lujiang first, join forces with Jia Kui and Wang Ling, and then go to support Zhou Cang.

If Zhou Cang is pretending to surrender, with the generals here, it will be safe; if Zhou Cang is really surrendering, we can take the opportunity to capture Poyang and prevent Liu Feng from annexing Jiangdong. "

Sima Yi looked worried: "I think it may not be as simple as it seems. The information that my spy Shi Bao brought back earlier was confirmed in Zhou Cang's letter of surrender."

Jiang Ji was slightly surprised: "Since it has been confirmed, why is Zhongda still worried?"

Sima Yi frowned slightly: "Although I have helped Shi Bao, scholars from poor families are not as virtuous as scholars from wealthy families. If Shi Bao covets the benefits given by Liu Feng, he may be persuaded to rebel.

I was just thinking, if the information we have now is all deliberately given to us by Liu Feng, then what is Liu Feng's real intention?"

Jiang Ji was surprised and asked, "Zhongda, aren't you worrying too much?"

Jiang Ji couldn't understand Sima Yi's train of thought.

Normally, the truth of an intelligence piece needs to be corroborated by other intelligence.

And now: the information brought back by Shi Bao was confirmed in Zhou Cang's letter of surrender.

This means that Shi Bao’s intelligence was true, and Zhou Cang’s letter of surrender that supported Shi Bao’s intelligence should also be true.

But what Sima Yi was thinking was: Shi Bao's information was confirmed, which meant that the letters of surrender from Shi Bao and Zhou Cang were both false.

How could Jiang Ji understand such logic?

Even if Shi Bao was instigated by Liu Feng to rebel, could it be that Zhou Cang was also instigated by Liu Feng to rebel?

If Zhou Cang could be instigated by Liu Feng to rebel, why would Liu Feng go to so much trouble?
Just let the civil and military officials of Jiangdong force Sun Quan to surrender!
Sima Yi took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I have a guess. Liu Feng's real intention is most likely not in Jiangdong, but in Zhengdong General."

"Hmm?" Cao Pi's eyes shone. "Zhongda means that Liu Feng is going to use the same old trick again and attack Pingchun by surprise? But Pingchun is not Shiyang. If Liu Feng wants to go to Chaisang to attack Pingchun by surprise, it will take more than 20 days to march. With Yu Jin waiting in Pingchun, how can Liu Feng capture Pingchun?"

Sima Yi shook his head: "Your Majesty, what I mean is that Liu Feng went there specifically to attack the General Zhengdong. If the General Zhengdong was in Pingchun, Liu Feng would not be able to march for more than 20 days to attack Pingchun. But now, the General Zhengdong is not in Pingchun!"

Cao Pi stood up in shock.

If Sima Yi's guess was correct, then Cao Xiu was now like a snake that was lured out of its hole by a snake catcher. Without a cave to hide in, it would be caught by the snake catcher.

The more Cao Pi thought about it, the more he felt that Sima Yi's guess was closer to Liu Feng's true intention.

Jiang Ji also understood.

True.

It was basically impossible for Liu Feng to go to Chaisang to launch a surprise attack on Pingchun, as the journey was too long.

However, when Cao Xiu left Pingchun and headed to Chaisang to meet Zhou Cang, he might be attacked by Liu Feng at any time!
"But why would Zhou Cang cooperate with Liu Feng? Doesn't Sun Quan want to be the only one in the south? With Sun Quan's temper, how could he be willing to submit to Liu Feng? Why did Liu Feng firmly believe that Sun Quan was not deceiving him?" Jiang Ji asked the key question.

The biggest contradiction in Sima Yi's speculation lies in: Sun Quan's attitude!

"Liu Feng had a very close relationship with Sun Quan's eldest daughter Sun Luban, second son Sun Lu, and nephew-in-law Lu Xun. Liu Feng wanted to seize Jiangdong without bloodshed, so he must have promised Sun Quan benefits that were difficult to refuse. In other words, even if Sun Quan wanted to refuse, Sun Quan's relatives would agree to the benefits promised by Liu Feng.

In the current situation, Sun Quan has already lost the qualification to monopolize Jiangdong. He has only two choices: to rely on the Pseudo-Han or the Great Wei. Whether to rely on the Pseudo-Han or the Great Wei depends on how much benefit Sun Quan can get from both sides. "

There was a pause.

Sima Yi bowed to Cao Pi and apologized: "Your Majesty, I am guilty. I failed to detect Liu Feng's conspiracy in time, otherwise I should have advised Your Majesty to give Sun Quan greater benefits."

Having said that.

Cao Pi also understood.

Sun Quan found that being a nobody in the Han and Wei parties was no longer feasible, and it was time to take a stand. At this time, Liu Feng offered conditions far exceeding Cao Pi's, and relatives such as Sun Luban, Sun Lu, and Lu Xun all favored Liu Feng, so Sun Quan naturally had to stand on the side of the Han.

"Pass on my order. Order Cao Xiu to withdraw his troops and return to Pingchun immediately!" Cao Pi took a deep breath and made his final decision.

Sima Yi added: "At present, the General of the Eastern Expedition has already sent out troops for five days. Even if the envoys travel day and night to Pingchun, it will take five days. It will take another three to five days for the imperial edict to reach the General of the Eastern Expedition. In order to prevent unexpected events, Your Majesty must mobilize troops from other places to provide support."

Cao Pi pondered for a moment and said, "Zhongda, you go to Yingchuan in person, create a false alarm in the direction of Wancheng, and secretly lead troops to the three passes of Yiyang to support Yu Jin in Pingchun.

At the same time, send a message to Jia Kui and Wang Ling in Shouchun and Man Chong in Hefei, saying that I and the three of them have the right to act at our discretion. Even if we lose Hefei, you must bring Cao Xiu back safely to me."

When talking about "bring Cao Xiu back safely", Cao Pi's tone became more urgent.

Cao Ren is old now.

The only clan generals that Cao Pi could trust were Cao Zhen, Xiahou Shang and Cao Xiu.

Cao Zhen was Cao Pi's designated candidate to succeed Cao Ren. He had to command all the internal and external armies and could not stay away for long.

The only ones who stayed away for a long time were Xiahou Shang and Cao Xiu.

Compared with Xiahou Shang, Cao Zhen prefers Cao Xiu.

Although the two men held equal official positions, Cao Pi disliked Xiahou Shang's character.

After returning to the capital, Xiahou Shang doted on his concubine and neglected his wife Cao. Cao cried and complained to Cao Pi, so Cao Pi ordered the execution of Xiahou Shang's concubine.

I thought this matter could be resolved.

What Cao Pi did not expect was that Xiahou Shang was so sad after his concubine was executed that he became ill and mentally confused. After burying his concubine, he still missed her and went out to the cemetery to see his concubine every few days. He also spoke coldly to Cao.

Cao Pi was so angry that he couldn't help cursing.

In Cao Pi's view: It was just a beautiful concubine who died, not his parents or children. Who would be obsessed with a tool?
But Xiahou Shang acted like a lovesick man in front of Cao Pi and almost committed suicide for love.

Since Xiahou Shang was unreliable, Cao Pi naturally placed high hopes on Cao Xiu.

Cao Xiu is now over 40 years old, in the prime of his life, and is one of the earliest royal generals to follow Cao Cao.

Cao Pi needed Cao Xiu to deal with Liu Bei's side, and he also needed Cao Xiu to suppress Cao Zhang.

And now.

It is very likely that Cao Xiu fell into Liu Feng's trap of luring the snake out of its hole and is in danger.

Cao Pi can't just sit back and watch!

For Cao Pi, the city can be lost, but Cao Xiu must not die!

At this moment, Cao Xiu did not know that the danger had arrived.

Less than three days after Cao Xiu's army left Pingchun for Chaisang, their whereabouts were discovered by scouts from Jiangxia.

The place is so small that it is almost impossible to completely conceal your whereabouts.

In particular: Jiangxia's scouts had been keeping an eye on Pingchun's movements, and deliberately targeted him, but it took Jiangxia's scouts three days to discover Cao Xiu's whereabouts. Cao Xiu was already proud of himself.

Cao Xiu also knew that he could not hide the secret from Jiangxia's spies, so he announced to the public that he was heading to Wancheng, Lujiang.

After arriving at Lujiang, Cao Xiu suddenly turned south and entered Chaisang.

However, before Cao Xiu arrived at Chaisang, Cao Pi's imperial edict was finally delivered to Cao Xiu by the messenger who rode his horse at full speed.

However, Cao Xiu did not agree with the imperial edict to withdraw the troops to Pingchun. Instead, he questioned the messenger: "Do you know who came up with the idea on behalf of Your Majesty to prevent me from making achievements?"

The messenger did not dare to look Cao Xiu in the eye and said, "General, I don't know."

Cao Xiu chuckled: "You are His Majesty's personal guard, do you not know, or do you dare not say it?"

The messenger bowed his head and said, "I don't know, and I dare not say."

Cao Xiu sneered: "Even if you don't tell me, I can guess that your majesty trusts Sima Yi the most and will discuss everything with Sima Yi.

What ability did Sima Yi have to dare to speak nonsense about military and national affairs? If Sima Yi had not stopped the general from burning Xiangyang and Fancheng and withdrawing his troops back to Wancheng, how could the general be captured alive by Liu Bei?
If it weren't for your Majesty's protection, I would have chopped Sima Yi off and thrown him into the river to feed the fish. You are just a scholar, and you are qualified to teach me how to do things?"

The messenger said weakly: "Your Majesty's decree"

Cao Xiu took the imperial edict and said, "I won't make it difficult for you. I have received the imperial edict, but you may not obey the military orders outside. I will make my own judgment on whether to withdraw the troops.

You return to Luoyang and tell His Majesty that once I defeat Liu Feng, Jiangdong will be within my grasp!"

Seeing that Cao Xiu accepted the imperial edict and refused to withdraw his troops, the messenger had no choice but to ride back again.

Cao Xiu had already shouted, "A general is not subject to military orders when on a mission." Could a small messenger really stop Cao Xiu?

Dong Cen and Shao Nan were secretly delighted.

In order to avoid Cao Xiu noticing anything unusual, Dong Cen pretended to be worried and said, "That being said, the general is almost at Chaisang, but Liu Feng seems to have not noticed. Liu Feng is known to be brave and good at fighting. I am worried that Liu Feng has some conspiracy. It is better to wait for the troops from other routes to arrive before joining forces to Chaisang."

Shao Nan also said: "Now the army is only a hundred miles away from Chaisang, and the scouts of Governor Zhou should have discovered the general's whereabouts. It is better to wait for Governor Zhou to send someone to convey the message, so that we can be sure of nothing going wrong."

The more cautious Dong Cen and Shao Nan were, the more Cao Xiu felt that they were sincere, and he immediately said with a smile: "If we wait for Zhou Cang to send someone to deliver the message, something unexpected might happen. If Liu Feng finds out and kills Zhou Cang, my trip would be in vain.

As the saying goes, "take the enemy by surprise and attack them when they are unprepared." Although Liu Feng can detect our army's movements, he does not know our intentions. When the army reaches Chaisang, I will cooperate with Zhou Cang from inside and outside. Even if Liu Feng is brave and good at fighting, how can he stop us? "

Immediately.

Cao Xiu did not wait for Jia Kui and Wang Ling to join forces, and urged his troops to march quickly.

Dong Cen and Shao Nan were secretly delighted.

Chaisang now was like a big net that opened towards Cao Xiu, waiting for him to get in. When they were about ten miles away from Chaisang, a fast horse suddenly came from the direction of Chaisang and ran into Cao Xiu's front scouts in a panic.

Seeing that the other party was hesitant, the scout of the front army escorted him to the central army to see Cao Xiu.

Before Cao Xiu could interrogate him, the man shouted to Dong Cen and Shao Nan, "Captain Dong, Captain Shao, it's me, Zhou Zong."

Dong Cen and Shao Nan were both shocked.

"Captain Zhou, you are not with the prefect, why are you here?" Dong Cen hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Shao Nan introduced to Cao Xiu: "General, this man is Zhou Zong, the cousin of the Zhou Taishou. It's strange. Zhou Zong is the personal guard of the Zhou Taishou. Why did he come here suddenly? Could it be..."

Before Shao Nan finished speaking, Zhou Zong hurriedly said, "For some reason, Liu Feng suddenly attacked the Chaisang Water Fort. The two thieves Xu Sheng and Ding Feng set fire to the water fort and cooperated with Liu Feng from inside and outside. The governor could only fight back hastily."

Dong Cen was surprised and asked, "Could it be that Xu Sheng and Ding Feng discovered what the governor was planning?"

Shao Nan said anxiously: "General, please send me a group of soldiers to support the governor. Xu Sheng and Ding Feng are both loyal to Sun Quan and have great prestige in the army. If the governor is killed, Chaisang will be occupied by Liu Feng!"

Cao Xiu could not help but feel angry: "How could such a mistake happen at this time? Damn it!"

If it was two days ago, Cao Xiu would not have gone to rescue him, just as he said to Dong Cen and Shao Nan at the beginning, "Before my army arrives, the news must not be leaked. If Zhou Cang is not careful, I will not risk my life to rescue him."

And now.

Cao Xiu was only ten miles away from Chaisang.

If he didn't rescue him, he would have to watch Liu Feng seize Chaisang. Liu Feng would even send people to mock Cao Xiu: Chaisang has been taken by me first.

"Pass on my military order. Leave one army behind to guard the baggage. The rest of the soldiers, follow me to Chaisang!"

Cao Xiu did not hesitate. The current situation did not allow him to hesitate. Dong Cen and Shao Nan once again asked Cao Xiu to send troops ahead.

Seeing that the two men were eager to fight, Cao Xiu also assigned them a thousand soldiers and ordered them to go to Chaisang as vanguards.

When the army ran to the five-mile point, the scout reported to Cao Xiu that "there are flames shooting up into the sky and shouts of killing in the northern camp of Chaisang", which made Cao Xiu even more anxious.

There are two water forts in Chaisang, one in the north and the other in the south, which are used for crossing the river from north to south.

If he could not seize the northern camp of Chaisang, even if Zhou Cang survived, Cao Xiu could only sigh at the river.

What Cao Xiu wanted was the entire Poyang, not just Zhou Yu alone.

"Troops, hurry!"

Cao Xiu urged the army again.

But when Cao Xiu's army arrived at the northern camp of Chaisang, the shouting and screaming that the scouts had previously detected gradually turned into laughter.

"Hmm? Could it be that Zhou Qian is dead?"

Cao Xiu reined in his horse and couldn't help but become suspicious.

Before Cao Xiu could figure it out, he saw a large number of soldiers rushing out from Chaisang North Camp, and heard the soldiers shouting, "Kill Cao Xiu and you will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"

Cao Xiu's face changed drastically.

Just as he was about to order the troops to fight, he saw that the army in front was in chaos again.

However, Dong Cen and Shao Nan directly attacked the Wei army captain who was in charge of the troops, shouting that they were creating chaos.

The sudden change came too fast.

Not to mention the Wei army's generals and soldiers, even Cao Xiu didn't react.

It was not until the vanguard army reported that Dong Cen and Shao Nan had killed the captain in command that Cao Xiu realized he had fallen into a trap.

Thinking of Zhou Cang's seven letters of surrender, thinking of Zhou Cang sending Dong Cen and Shao Nan as hostages, thinking of Zhou Cang cutting his hair, thinking of Dong Cen and Shao Nan who had always been reminding Cao Xiu to be cautious.

Cao Xiu only felt a stream of blood spurting out from his heart and lungs, as if it was going straight to his throat.

After hunting geese all day, he was actually pecked in the eye by a goose.

How much he trusted Zhou Qian before, how much he hates him now.

"Zhou Qian!"

Cao Xiu gnashed his teeth in hatred.

But before he could vent his hatred, military intelligence came from the rear that a troop had cut off Cao Xiu's retreat and was heading towards him.

Cao Xiu's anger instantly turned into fear: "Oh no! This must be an ambush by Liu Feng's kid!"

Just as Cao Xiu expected.

The troops that came were the ambush troops deployed by Liu Feng, and the one leading them was Guan Xing.

"withdraw!"

Cao Xiu didn't dare hesitate any longer.

He had originally planned to fight with the Wu soldiers in the northern camp of Chaisang and defeat the Wu army by force, but he never expected that there were ambushes in the rear that cut off his way back.

however.

Cao Xiu couldn't retreat from the battlefield just because he wanted to.

Liu Feng and Guan Xing had been planning for several months and finally waited for the opportunity to close the net today. How could they let Cao Xiu retreat easily?

Dusk fell on the north bank of Chaisang.

Cao Xiu's clothes and armor had been stained dark red by blood, and the warhorse under him was also whining with fatigue.

The ambushes from all directions not only surrounded Cao Xiu, but also divided his troops.

The soldiers were already exhausted after traveling a long distance, and now they were being taken advantage of by the combined forces of Han and Wu. Whether in terms of military strength or morale, Cao Xiu was at an absolute disadvantage!

Taking advantage of the darkness, Cao Xiu finally fought his way out and fled north with more than a hundred cavalrymen.

As for the army behind him, Cao Xiu no longer cared about it.

Seeing Cao Xiu break through the encirclement and escape, Guan Xing did not pursue him, but instead ordered his troops to continue encircling and killing the Wei army that was still resisting.

Seeing that Guan Xing did not pursue, Zhou Cang approached and asked, "General Guan, why did you let Cao Xiu get away when you were intercepting him from the rear?"

Guan Xing said frankly: "Cao Xiu is brave and good at fighting. I am no match for him. If Governor Zhou wants to chase him, I will not stop him."

Zhou Qian was suddenly speechless.

You are not Cao Xiu's opponent, so am I Cao Xiu's opponent?
Seeing Zhou Cang's anxious look, Guan Xing smiled again: "Why should you be anxious, Governor Zhou? Our military mission is just to ambush Cao Xiu. It would be great if we can keep Cao Xiu, but if we can't, don't be discouraged, because His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan hasn't made a move yet."

Zhou Qian finally reacted and said happily, "I lost my composure. I forgot about the bravery of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan."

Even though the Jiangdong generals were made to cry for their parents in the past, now that the two sides have joined forces, they naturally tacitly agree not to mention the past anymore.

And this moment.

The one thousand Wei soldiers who were originally left by Cao Xiu to guard the baggage had been killed.

A troop of soldiers was stationed silently at Cao Xiu's baggage storage area.

The leader was Liu Feng.

The real king always appears at the end.

When plotting against Cao Xiu this time, Liu Feng focused more on the general situation rather than the details.

The specific details were completed by Guan Xing, Lu Xun, Zhou Cang and others.

even.

Liu Feng appeared here only at the invitation of Guan Xing.

According to Guan Xing, Cao Xiu had fought for many years and was brave and good at fighting. He could break out of an ambush even if he was ambushed. Although Guan Xing was also brave, he was not as good as Cao Xiu, who had rich battle experience. So the task of stopping Cao Xiu could only be handed over to Liu Feng.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The sound of rapid arrows shot towards the Wei cavalry coming forward, and more than a dozen Wei cavalry fell on the spot before they had time to dodge.

Looking at the general in front of him, Cao Xiu's mouth curled up with bitterness, and he subconsciously tightened the reins and spear.

"Liu - Feng -"

If Cao Xiu had taken another smaller route instead of returning to the baggage collection area, he would not have met Liu Feng.

However, there is no if in reality.

When Cao Xiu chose to return to the baggage collection point, he was doomed to face interception by Liu Feng.

"Cao Wenlie, surrender or die."

Liu Feng's cold voice rang out in the twilight.

Looking at the rows of archers standing behind Liu Feng, the cavalrymen on Cao Xiu's left and right all showed fear on their faces.

The bow and crossbow are the nemesis of lightly armored cavalry.

Especially when the cavalry's horsepower is exhausted and they encounter archers, it is like adding insult to injury.

"General, what should I do?"

The deputy general's voice trembled, and his hands holding the reins were also shaking.

Cao Xiu felt even more bitter.

How to do?
What else can we do except fight our way out?
Before Cao Xiu could speak, Liu Feng's words rang out again: "Cao Wenlie, you know that whether I kill you today or not, you won't live long.

You are the General who Conquers the East appointed by Cao Pi, and you are at the same rank as Cao Zhen's General who Conquers the West. In the past, Cao Cao praised you as "the Cao family's talented horse."

I originally thought that your strategy would be the same as Cao Zhen's, or even better than Cao Zhen's, but I never expected that Zhou Cang only used seven letters of surrender, two hostages, and one hair cut to trick you into leading your army alone.

Such a skill is really sad. "

Cao Xiu only felt the blood in his heart and lungs spurting out again and about to rush up his throat.

"Liu Feng, you little bastard, if you want to fight, just fight. Why waste time talking!" Cao Xiu glared and shouted angrily, not wanting to argue with Liu Feng.

Unexpectedly, Liu Feng just made way for him.

Cao Xiu glared at him and asked, "Liu Feng, what do you mean by this?"

Liu Feng looked at Cao Xiu with contempt: "Cao Wenlie, I just found out that your strategy is not as good as Cao Zhen's, and you are not worthy of the title of 'Cao Family's Thousand Mile Horse'.

I just don’t know if your martial arts are not as brave as Cao Zhen’s?

Don't worry, as long as you choose to leave, I will never stop you, let alone shoot an arrow in your back."

Cao Xiu's eyes began to turn red.

Seeing this, the deputy general beside him became very anxious and quickly advised: "General, don't fall for Liu Feng's provocation."

Cao Xiu, however, shouted at his subordinates to retreat, and pointed his spear at Liu Feng: "Little Liu Feng, how dare you underestimate me! Do you dare to fight me?"

Liu Feng shook the reins and rode out: "As you invited me, I will grant you a fight!"

Being underestimated and despised repeatedly by Liu Feng, Cao Xiu could no longer suppress his inner anger, and he rode his horse with his spear in hand, heading straight for Liu Feng.

Cao Xiu's horse neighed and suddenly fell to its knees on its front legs. Cao Xiu was caught off guard and was thrown away by the horse. A strong man holding a hemp rope came forward and tied Cao Xiu up.

However, Liu Feng had already dug a horse trap ahead of him. Cao Xiu's anger had eroded his reason, and he never expected that Liu Feng would play such a dirty trick at this time!
"Liu Feng, you are shameless!" Cao Xiu was knocked unconscious and felt angry and furious.

Looking at the struggling Cao Xiu, Liu Feng's mockery once again rang in Cao Xiu's ears: "You are already over 40 years old, why are you still as impatient as a child? On the battlefield, all is fair in war. How can you be a general if you are so reckless?"

Cao Xiu could no longer suppress the irritation in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his entire spirit became listless.

Liu Feng looked at the more than one hundred riders behind Cao Xiu, and his eyes fell on the fat and strong war horses. He praised: "The northern horses are indeed extraordinary. Leave your war horses and weapons, and I will spare your lives!" (End of this chapter)
