    Hua Xiong's eyes narrowed, as if he was aware of Lu Kuang's plan. While he chased after him quickly, he was also on guard.  When Hua Xiong was chasing after him, Lu Kuang suddenly raised his gun, turned around suddenly, made a killing move with his carbine, and stabbed Hua Xiong in the heart.  Hua Xiong was well prepared and quickly dodged to avoid Lu Kuang's shot.

    "You little thief, if you dare to insult my lord, I will take your life now!"

    Hua Xiong shouted sternly, swung the knife in his hand, raised the knife and dropped it. The blade passed by, and the corpse was separated, and he was about to chop Lu Kuang off his horse.  Lu Kuang tried to use his carbine, but was killed by Hua Xiong with one move.  The soldiers in his army suddenly panicked and became confused, and they all looked fearful.  When Liu Bei saw this, he quickly led his troops to cover up the attack and defeated the other army.  Lu Xiang couldn't resist the enemy and led a remnant of his troops to escape.

    Unexpectedly, Lu Xiang just couldn't escape far, and an army stood out on the road. The leader was a general, wearing silk armor and holding a thunder spear. He was none other than Taishi Ciye.  Taishi Ci led his troops to charge, but Lu Xiang did not dare to attack, so he seized the road and fled.  Taishi Ci was behind to cover up the killing, but Lu Xiang lost most of his troops and ran away in panic.  Lu Xiang was frightened and frightened. After walking less than ten miles, there was a sudden sound of cannon and another army blocked the way.  The leader is a general, with a leopard head and eyes, holding a snake spear eight feet long, with a voice like thunder, and shouting while raising the spear.

    "Zhang Yide is here! The little thief will get off his horse and die soon!!!"

    This general is none other than Zhang Fei, Liu Bei¡¯s third younger brother.  After Zhang Fei finished drinking, he clapped his horse, raised his spear, and went straight to Lu Xiang.  Lu Xiang was caught off guard, and before he could react, Zhang Fei stabbed him in the throat with a spear. He screamed, turned over and fell off his horse and died.  The rest of the crowd scattered and ran around.  Liu Bei came from behind and combined his two armies to pursue them. Most of Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang's troops were captured by Liu Bei's army.  Liu Bei received more than 3,000 surrendered troops and countless supplies, so he led his troops back to the county.  Shan Fu will be highly rewarded, and the manuscript will be rewarded to the three armies.

    During this period, Shan Fu, in order to maintain his loyalty, told Liu Bei his real name.  It turns out that when Shan Fu was young, he was a powerful man named Bo Yuntian, who loved to learn fencing and was successful in his studies.  He once killed someone to avenge his friend. Later, Shan Fu ran away in disgrace and was captured by the government.  When the officials asked him his name, he refused to answer, so he was tied to a cart and walked around the market beating drums. People in the market knew him, but those who knew him did not dare to speak, and his companions stole and rescued him.  He changed his name and fled. After that, Shan Fu saw the world in chaos. It would be difficult to change the chaotic world with swords and guns alone.  Shan Fu then gave up martial arts and followed literature, and turned to study. He visited famous teachers and became his chief disciple under Sima Hui.  Shan Fu's true identity is Xu Shu, a native of Yingchuan, with the courtesy name Yuan Zhi.

    Liu Bei knew about his past affairs, and not only did he not blame Xu Shu for concealing it before, but he also praised Xu Shu for his kindness and righteousness in revenge for his friends in the past years.  When Xu Shu heard this, he was very moved. He felt that Liu Bei knew Liu Bei's heart and was even more loyal to Liu Bei.

    But the defeated army returned to see Cao Ren and reported that Hua Xiong and Zhang Fei had killed two Lu, and nearly three thousand soldiers in the army were captured alive.  Cao Ren was shocked and discussed with his brother Cao Chun.  Cao Chun was a very cautious person, and he gave advice.

    "Brother, our army has suffered a new defeat, and the enemy's army is facing a fierce front. It is best to stay still and report to the prime minister to raise a large force to attack." Cao Ren was slightly unhappy when he heard this and said coldly.

    "Otherwise. Today, two generals have been killed in battle, and many troops and horses have been killed. This revenge must be avenged urgently. If this matter is reported back to Luoyang, you and I will be completely ashamed! Not to mention the small area of ????Xinye, why bother the Prime Minister's army?"

    "Brother, how can you ignore the overall situation just because of your own dignity? Although Liu Da'er is weak and has few soldiers, he has many capable people under his command. The four generals Pan, Zhang Taishi and Hua are all brave enough to be invincible.  The enemy general's head was taken out of the army, and there was another detailed report from the previous episode. Liu Da'er had a capable person. This man was unfathomable. I expected Er Lu to be defeated.  The strategy devised by this person, Liu Daer has the help of this person, which is like a tiger, and should not be underestimated. "

    "Brother Chun, you have always been brave and brave in battle. How could you say such depressing words today that make others lose their ambition and destroy your own prestige! How can you be so cowardly to a big-eared thief!"

    Cao Ren suddenly shouted harshly, "Liu Bei has rarely won any victories since he started fighting. He spent most of his life wandering around and being hunted down everywhere."  In particular, whenever Liu Bei encountered Cao Cao's forces, he would be defeated and defeated.  Therefore, in the eyes of General Cao, Liu Bei was just a clown.  Cao Ren is the leader of Cao Cao's generals. If word of Er Lu's defeat reaches Luoyang, Cao Ren's reputation will plummet!

    Therefore, Cao Ren wanted to win a great victory to cover up this shame!

    Cao Chun did not know that Cao Ren was doing this because he was afraid that his position would be shaken.  He shook his head slightly and then spoke again.

    "It is said that only by knowing the enemy and knowing yourself can you be victorious in every battle. I am not afraid of fighting, but I am afraid that I will not be able to win."

    At this time, Cao Ren could not listen to the advice. Instead, he suddenly became angry and roared violently.

    "What does Chundi mean by what he said is that I am not Liu Dal'er's opponent!? I have fought with the Prime Minister all over the world in my life and have never been defeated. If I can't capture Liu Dal'er alive now, I will never return to Luoyang!"

    "No! My brother's stubborn temper is here again! The Prime Minister is not here at this time, I'm afraid no one can persuade him!"

    Cao Chun did not expect that his words would arouse Cao Ren's temper. His eyes were startled, and after a while, he hurriedly said.

    "Brother if, so he left a certain person to guard Fancheng to prevent any unexpected events.  "

    "No! I want you to come with me and see with your own eyes how I capture that big-eared thief!!"

    Cao Chun had no choice but to persuade him in vain, so he had no choice but to mobilize 25,000 troops and horses with his brother Cao Ren and cross the river to join the new country.  But at the same time, Cao Chun was afraid that Cao Ren would leave in anger and suffer a great defeat, so he secretly sent someone to Luoyang to retaliate against Cao Cao.

    When Cao Cao received Cao Chun's report and learned that Cao Ren was angry and attacked Xinye, he was immediately shocked.  Cao Ren was a man who commanded troops well and was proficient in the art of war. He was a rare commander.  It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao promoted Cao Ren to the top of the generals and gave him many important responsibilities.  But no one is perfect, and Cao Ren also has a fatal flaw, that is pride.  If Cao Cao is by his side, Cao Ren will be somewhat restrained. If Cao Cao is not around, Cao Ren will definitely cause disaster if he commits this shortcoming.

    Cao Cao was very familiar with Cao Ren, so he immediately sent Xu Chu to lead a fast cavalry and rushed to Xinye with his personal letter.  But Cao Ren was angry, so he raised a large army of his own troops, with 25,000 troops and horses, crossing the river at starry night like earth-shaking, intending to flatten the new land.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Not long after Liu Bei returned to the county after his victory, he was very happy to have Xu Shu, a talented person who helped the world, to help him, and he was expected to have great construction projects in the future.  When Xu Shu showed his talent, Pan Feng, Zhang Fei, Taishi Ci and other generals all admired him very much and were willing to accept his command.

    Liu Bei was ambitious and stepped up his recruitment in the new fields. While he was wary of Cao Cao, he was secretly plotting how to seize territory from Liu Biao, build up momentum as soon as possible, and plan for the world.

    Just when Liu Bei was trying his best to plan the future.  Xu Shu suddenly came to look for him and reported it to Liu Bei.

    "Cao Ren has been stationed in Fancheng for a long time. His intention is to go to the south of the Yangtze River for Cao Cao to explore the wind. Cao Ren is a general under Cao Cao. He has a high reputation and is powerful in his army. Apart from Cao Cao, the soldiers who respect him the most are undoubtedly  Because of this, Cao Ren has pride in his heart and will never allow his reputation to be compromised. Cao Cao's army has always despised him. Now, Erlu was killed and most of his troops were captured by Cao Renxin.  Feeling that he has lost his power, he will raise a large army to fight in order to achieve a great victory and kill the lord to cover up his previous humiliation."

    When Liu Bei heard this, he was immediately shocked. Cao Ren was a god with his troops and was a famous victorious general in the world.  Liu Bei was afraid that the new field would overwhelm his troops and horses, so he asked hurriedly.

    "Cao Zixiao is a man who knows the art of war well. In the past, I heard Cao Cao personally say that even he is not necessarily Cao Zixiao's opponent when it comes to marching troops in battle. This man's ability to use troops is even better than Cao Mengde. I am a military advisor.  Why welcome it!¡±

    "Haha. Don't panic, my lord. I have a clever plan to deal with it."

    Xu Shu¡¯s eyes were bright and he looked confident. Seeing this, Liu Bei asked quickly.

    "The military advisor actually has a plan, tell him quickly."

    Xu Shu smiled brightly, giving people a strange feeling that even if the sky fell, he would still have a plan to save him.  Just listen to Xu Shu speak slowly.

    "Cao Zixiao comes with anger. Anger leads to chaos, and chaos leads to mistakes. I am afraid that his talents are not fully utilized. If this is the case, why should my lord be panicked. Moreover, Cao Zixiao has brought all the troops and horses to kill, and Fancheng is empty. I  When Fancheng is lost, Cao Zixiao will retreat naturally. "

    Liu Bei's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he quickly continued to ask.  Xu Shu whispered so and so.

    "Hahahahaha, good, good, good!!! The military advisor is truly a god!"

    Liu Bei was overjoyed and said yes repeatedly. He valued Xu Shu more in his heart, obeyed his words, and prepared in advance according to Xu Shu's teachings.

    A few days later, Liu Jun's scouts came to report.

    "Report!! Lord!!! Cao Ren has led his army and has crossed the river. His army is advancing very fast. The villain is waiting for his footsteps. He will reach the gate of Xinye City in half a day."

    Scout Liu Jun¡¯s face was full of panic, and his eyes were full of fear.  However, Liu Bei was determined and looked at Xu Shu.  Xu Shu smiled slightly.

    "It's just as I expected. Cao Zixiao really came very quickly!"

    "Fortunately, the military advisor is very good at predicting things. He has already calculated that Cao Zixiao will rush the army and rush to the new field within three days. Teach me how to prepare in advance. Otherwise, I will be caught off guard by his army at this moment!"

    Liu Bei praised unabashedly.  Xu Shu was unfazed by the favor and humiliation, nodded and smiled, and then asked Liu Bei to send troops to meet the enemy.  Cao Ren led his troops and was rushing forward. The sound of footsteps, horse hooves, and soldiers fighting in the army shook the sky and the sea, and the army was mighty.  At this time, the wind and dust were billowing in front, and Liu Bei led five or six thousand troops to greet them. Compared with most of Cao Ren's troops, they were very inferior.  Cao Ren's face turned cold when he saw Liu Bei arriving. He secretly laughed at Liu Da'er's ignorance of life and death, and ordered his soldiers to prepare in formation.  Liu Bei also ordered his soldiers to fight and prepare for the killing.  Soon after, the two formations faced each other. Liu Bei glanced at Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong understood and rushed out of the formation to challenge.

    Cao Ren knew that Hua Xiong was very capable and did not dare to accept the challenge easily. After looking back at the formation, he asked:??Go to war.  Gao Lan, who used to be one of the four courtyard pillars in Hejian, came out in response. Cao Ren's face lit up, Gao Lan's martial arts was extraordinary and he should be able to withstand Hua Xiong, and then he whispered a few words in Gao Lan's ear.  Gao Lan nodded and got the order, then waved his sword and let his horse fly away.  The two horses collided with each other. Hua Xiong slashed hard with his Dragon-Severing Saber. Gao Lan blocked it with his sword, and then swung Hua Xiong's Dragon-Severing Saber away with all his strength.  Hua Xiong was shocked by Gao Lan's strength, and with a lot of energy, he suddenly broke off the dragon knife and stabbed Gao Lan straight in the face.  Gao Lan hurriedly avoided it, shouted loudly, and swung his sword to attack Hua Xiong wildly.  Hua Xiong either blocked or avoided, and when Gao Lan's offensive stopped, Hua Xiong attacked again.  The two of them went back and forth, killing each other for dozens of rounds, and the soldiers on both sides watched in shock.
