    After a while, Pan Zhang arrived first with his troops.  Pan Zhang saw a group of Cao soldiers in the distance. He was startled and hurriedly led the soldiers to take a detour.  Ling Tong, who was behind, also saw this and quickly waved his troops forward, hoping to block the group of Cao soldiers.

    Xia Houyuan's tiger eyes shone brightly. He saw Pan Zhang fleeing around the road, but he did not pursue him. Instead, he ordered his army to meet Ling Tong's tribe, and the two armies fought together.  Xia Houyuan drew his spear and rushed into the Jiangdong formation. Ling Tong danced his whip to resist, and the two fought for dozens of rounds.  When Ling Tong saw that Pan Zhang had gone far away, he quickly ordered his army to retreat.  Xia Houyuan sent his troops to pursue him, and when they reached Xiapi City not far away, Sun Ce led a group of troops out of the city to assist in the battle.  Xia Houyuan seemed to have expected this and immediately ordered the soldiers to retreat.  Ling Tong retreated into the city. When Sun Ce saw Cao's soldiers fleeing, he did not pursue them. He immediately asked Ling Tong if Pan Zhang had succeeded in breaking through.  Ling Tong quickly reported the previous events, and Sun Ce knew that his heart was hanging in his throat, and he finally calmed down a little.

    It is said that Zhou Yu marched in with his troops in Yuzhou. There were so many soldiers in Jiangdong and there were so many fierce generals that Man Chong was unable to resist and was defeated one after another.  Jiangdong's army was unstoppable along the way. Within one month, it occupied almost half of the land in Yuzhou and went straight to Chenliu County.  In recent months, Jiangdong's army has won complete victories in dozens of battles, large and small.  Just when the Yuzhou soldiers were defeated repeatedly and the situation was extremely bad, Man Chong received the military order from Cao Ren. Man Chong seemed to have received a reassurance. He immediately ordered soldiers and horses from various counties to concentrate all the troops in Yuzhou.  Xuchang City.

    Xuchang is the place where the Cao family made its fortune, and most of the families in the city are Cao family members. Therefore, Cao Cao successively sent people to repair and transform Xuchang City. Today, Xuchang City can be said to be impregnable and is a famous strong city in Yuzhou.

    At this time, Manchong gathered 30,000 troops to closely guard Xuchang City.  Zhou Yu led his troops all the way to 20 miles away from Xuchang City. A total of 50,000 to 60,000 Jiangdong troops spread across the fields, with camps and forts erected in a majestic manner.

    The name of Zhou Lang in Jiangdong was so powerful in the Central Plains that when people of the Cao family heard this name, their faces changed as if they heard it.

    It is said that Zhou Yu was in the camp at this time, gathering the generals to discuss a plan to attack Xuchang City.  Zhou Tai came out proudly and held his hands in his hands.

    "Our army has won many victories and its morale is like a rainbow. On the contrary, Naman Chong has been defeated many times and lost half of the territory of Yuzhou. The morale of the soldiers in Yuzhou is low and their morale is turbulent. At this time, the governor should take advantage of the situation and attack Xuchang in one fell swoop, setting the stage for the battle in Yuzhou!!!"

    As soon as Zhou Tai said this, most of the Jiangdong soldiers in the tent echoed.  Zhou Yu smiled calmly and said calmly.

    "Thanks to your bravery, our army has now captured half of Yuzhou. However, Xuchang is an important city in Yuzhou, and most of the families in the city are from the Cao family. If our army attacks with great strength, the other army will risk their lives to fight.  "

    When the veteran general Han Dang heard this, he frowned and asked angrily.

    "Then what should we do according to the opinion of the Grand Governor?"

    "Don't you hear the Art of War cloud? (Please use the pinyin domain name of this website to visit us.) The way to use troops is to attack the heart first, and to attack the city next. The heart war is the top, and the military war is the bottom."

    Zhou Yu¡¯s eyes were as bright as a torch, and Han Dang and other generals nodded their heads after hearing the words.  Zhou Tainai was impatient, but he didn't know why and asked quickly.

    "If we follow what the Grand Governor said, how should we attack the heart?"

    Zhou Yu¡¯s smile became brighter and brighter, so he taught him this plan.  When the generals heard the plan, they were all horrified, and they all said it was wonderful.  Zhou Yu's plan was finalized, and all the generals made arrangements.

    Early the next morning, Zhou Tai led a large army to Xuchang City, causing the soldiers to curse in all kinds of ways, all criticizing Cao Cao's three generations of ancestors.  The defenders on the city listened to the scolding, but no one was angry.  The Cao family in the city were even more indignant. They came to seek favors from Manchu and forced them to send troops to attack the Jiangdong Army below the city.

    The matter was serious, and Man Chong did not dare to tell everyone about Cao Cao's secret plan, but he did not dare to offend the Cao clan members, so he had to use all his words to persuade them to retreat.  Unexpectedly, the Jiangdong soldiers and horses outside the city seemed to be addicted to scolding. They divided their troops and cursed day and night. The overwhelming shouts and curses shook the entire Xuchang City.

    Five or six days later, Zhou Yu set up camp on the spot and set up camp five or six miles outside the city of Xuchang. He drank alcohol every day. Each of them drank until they were extremely drunk, then sat outside the city and insulted them.  The defenders on the city responded to reports every day. Man Chong became suspicious when he saw Jiang Dongbing being so weird.

    One day, Zhou Yu taught the wine to be placed under the tent and ordered the soldiers to drink with great fanfare.  There was a detailed report for Man Chong. Man Chong was startled when he heard the report. He came to the city to wait and see, and saw that the Jiangdong generals headed by Zhou Yu were sitting under the tent, drinking, and making their soldiers sumo wrestle for fun.  On the other side, there were soldiers drinking and cursing at the city.  Jiangdong Army seemed to regard the defenders in the city as nothing, and its arrogance was simply outrageous.

    "Zhou Gongjin is really bullying people too much this time!!!"

    Man Chong was so angry that he shouted, threw up his sleeves and left the city. As soon as he returned to the county office, he saw many people from the Cao family surrounding the door.  The leader was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist. He was very powerful, with a pair of huge and powerful ape arms, and he seemed to be capable of tearing apart a tiger.??, his eyes are impressive.  When Man Chong saw the young man, he was immediately frightened. He secretly wondered if this demon king had not been cultivating under Wang Yue. When did he return to Xuchang?  ?

    Man Chong was surprised and quickly raised his hands to pray.

    "Man Boning has met the Third Young Master! I'm disappointed in you, but I hope that the Third Young Master will forgive me!"

    This son is the third son of Cao Cao, Cao Zhang and Cao Ziwen.  When Cao Ziwen was born, there was a vision in the sky. It was dusk, the golden light was bright, and the clouds in the sky vaguely formed the shadow of a giant dragon.  Cao Cao once invited his minister to ask, and the minister told him that this was a sign of the Dragon Emperor, and that this son would become a great weapon in the future, either an emperor or a king.  Cao Cao was naturally overjoyed when he heard this, and since then he has devoted himself to cultivating Cao Zhang.  It's a pity that Cao Zhang doesn't like articles and military tactics, and has determined to be a general since he was a child.  For this reason, Cao Cao repeatedly punished Cao Zhang severely, but Cao Zhang still went his own way and practiced martial arts secretly. Cao Cao had no choice but to secretly order Cao Zhang to practice under Wang Yue.

    As for Wang Yue, since the death of Shi Changshi, he originally wanted to retire to the mountains and forests.  However, later it was seen that the world did not return to normal due to the death of Shi Changshi. The Han Dynasty was almost overturned after the rebellions of Dong Zhuo, Li Cui and Guo Si.  Fortunately, Cao Cao appeared at that time and rescued Emperor Xian of Han from dire straits.  However, the good times did not last long, Cao Cao's ambition became apparent, and Emperor Xian of Han was still a puppet in the hands of others.

    In order to save the Han Dynasty, Wang Yue decided to go out again to assassinate Cao Cao.  But later, for some unknown reason, Wang Yue not only failed to assassinate him, but was persuaded by Cao Cao to become a mysterious diner in his mansion.  After that, Cao Cao handed over his beloved son Cao Zhang to Wang Yue and asked him to follow Wang Yue to practice everywhere.

    Besides, this Cao Zhang is born with great power, ambition is impassioned, and his thoughts are even more agile.  The least likely thing is unfair, and he always likes to hoe the strong and help the weak.  Most of the dandy boys in Luoyang were taught a lesson by Cao Zhang.  However, because Cao Cao was a very popular minister and had great power in both the government and the public, the officials in Luoyang saw their children being beaten until their heads were swollen and their eyes were blue, but they dared not speak out in anger.  When he was young, Cao Zhang loved to hunt with Cao Cao.  One time, Cao Cao saw a giant tiger and missed three arrows in a row. He was so angry that he smashed his bow on the ground.  Cao Zhang, who was only twelve years old at the time, suddenly slapped his horse and rushed towards the giant tiger.  Cao Cao was afraid that Cao Zhang would make a mistake, so he quickly ordered his subordinates to follow closely.

    However, Cao Zhang was riding a Dawan horse, which was extremely fast and disappeared without a trace.  When the servants found Cao Zhang, they first saw a broken bow not far away, which frightened the servants into thinking that Cao Zhang had been injured by a giant tiger.  But he saw Cao Zhang covered in blood, holding half of the giant tiger's body in each hand, and walking out of a place with a bright smile.

    So far, the story of Cao Zhang tearing a tiger with his bare hands spread throughout Luoyang, and no one in Luoyang knew it. The third son of Prime Minister Cao, who was only twelve years old, was able to fight a tiger. It was then that Cao Zhang's name as the "Devil King" spread.

    "The Jiangdong Army outside the city is extremely arrogant, calling me the ancestor of the Cao family for days! Man Boning, you are a minister of my Cao family, but you stand by and watch, why is this!?"

    Cao Zhang stared with a pair of huge eyes as big as copper bells, and Man Chong secretly complained. Just when he didn't know what to do, he noticed that behind Cao Zhang there was an old man with a broken arm in black plain clothes, gray hair, and a cold face. It was Wang Yue.  .  Man Chong quickly cast a glance, Wang Yue nodded silently, and whispered a few words into Cao Zhang's ear.  Cao Zhang seemed to have great respect for Wang Yue and suppressed his anger immediately.  After Man Chong and a group of Cao family members made a confession, they led Cao Zhang and Wang Yue into a secret room and informed Cao Cao of his plan.

    When he was young, Cao Zhang stared at Man Chong and asked with some suspicion.

    "Is this really my father's plan?"

    "If it weren't for the king's order, how could Chong dare to let the rats from Jiangdong be so arrogant!"

    Man Chong worshiped hurriedly, feeling uneasy.  This Cao Zhang is a powerful master who acts lawlessly. Once he is full of passion, he will dare to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire.

    Cao Zhang pondered for a while, his big eyes moving flexibly.  Suddenly Cao Zhang's face darkened and he shouted in a condensed voice.

    "Even so, we cannot allow those young men to be so presumptuous. The Jiangdong Army outside the city is currently unprepared. Why don't you send an elite soldier to blunt its edge!?"

    When Man Chong heard this, he quickly said.

    "Although Chong has this intention, his intention is powerless. Zhou Gongjin has so many powerful generals. Many generals in Yuzhou have been killed in battle. At this time, there is really no general available for use!"

    As soon as Man Chong said this, Cao Zhang's eyes suddenly burst into light, and a bright smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

    "Sir, don't worry too much! Let's see how I defeat these Jiangdong rats!!!"

    Cao Zhang actually wanted to go into battle, but Man Chong's face changed drastically when he heard this. He hurriedly stopped him and shouted an admonishment.

    "The Third Young Master is rich in gold, how can he be personally involved in the danger! Besides, Zhou Gongjin is a man of many schemes, I'm afraid there may be some fraud involved! If the Third Young Master has any chance, this is a military official in Yuzhou!"

    "Hey!! Why are there so many nonsense!! Don't worry, sir, with my martial arts skills, these Jiangdong rats can't hurt me!"

      Cao Zhang pushed Man Chong away with one hand and was about to step out.  Man Chong didn't dare to let Cao Zhang, a new recruit who had never been tempered by war, go into battle, so he quickly stopped him with all his strength.  At the same time, he looked urgently at Wang Yue for help.

    But this time Wang Yue stood on Cao Zhang's side and said in his unique emotionless voice.

    "Sir, there is no need to worry too much. I will be guarding the third young master immediately to ensure that he is safe."

    Even so, Wang Yue was nearly seventy years old, so Man Chong couldn't put his mind at ease and was hesitating how to refuse.  Wang Yue seemed to be aware of Man Chong's concerns and smiled coldly.

    "Although I am old, my martial arts skills are not unfamiliar at all. If you are still worried, sir, you can teach the soldiers to make preparations tonight. If the battle situation is not good, send troops to respond immediately. I will fight to the death to protect the third master when he returns!"

    "Can!"

    Man Chong was about to answer when suddenly, Wang Yue's seventy-year-old body suddenly burst out with an extremely huge momentum, which actually forced Man Chong to retreat continuously.  When Man Chong came back to his senses, he suddenly saw Wang Yue holding two thin needles in his hand. Suddenly, he shot the needles, and the needles flew past, hitting two tiny flies in the middle.  Man Chong was astonished. When he came to his senses, Cao Zhang and Wang Yue had already left the secret room.
