    Gan Ning raised his brows slightly, his eyes instantly made contact with Cao Zhang, and he immediately recognized Cao Zhang's identity.  Because of Han Xiang's words, Gan Ning felt a little curious in his heart. He looked at Cao Zhang coldly with squinted eyes and grinned brightly.

    "Humph! The old one left, but the younger one was caught."

    As soon as Gan Ning finished speaking, General Huwei, a member of Cao's army, knew that Gan Ning was powerful. He suddenly issued an order and rushed out with a sword, hoping to strike first.  As soon as the order was given, nearly a hundred Tiger Guard soldiers rushed over.  Seeing a hundred people attacking them like tigers and wolves, Gan Ning's smile became even brighter. He shouted loudly and charged with his sword.

    I saw the tiger guard general rushing towards him, his Gan Ning sword dancing like a strong wind, flying and slashing rapidly. The tiger-toothed sword first struck at his neck, and then chopped off his head with one blow.  Gan Ning killed General Huwei with a single blow, then rode his horse into the oncoming crowd, charging wildly and unstoppably.  A series of screams could not be heard, and Gan Ning rushed past like lightning. In just a split second, Gan Ning suddenly cut his way out.  After a while, the sound of corpses hitting the ground was heard.  Before Cao Zhang could sense it, Gan Ning had already galloped in front of him.  Cao Zhang quickly ordered the soldiers guarding him to hand over the black iron giant sword. One soldier carried it while another soldier rode towards Gan Ning.  Gan Ning kept charging, and the two horses charged at each other. Gan Ning raised his sword very quickly, and with one strike he cut down the oncoming soldier and knocked him off his horse.  Cao Zhang's face was solemn, as if facing a powerful enemy. He grabbed the black iron giant sword and prepared to face the enemy. However, he was shocked to find that his physical strength was exhausted and he could not grasp the giant sword at all.  In the midst of lightning and flint, Gan Ning rushed on horseback. The only remaining Tiger Guard soldier guarding Cao Zhang was about to explode, but Gan Ning stabbed him to death first.  Gan Ning's speed was astonishing, and it could be said that everyone was amazed.

    Before Cao Zhang could catch it, he felt a sudden chill in his throat. It turned out that Gan Ning had already pressed the knife to his throat.  Cao Zhang's somewhat childish face suddenly turned cold, and his eyes were full of unyielding and unwilling looks.  Gan Ning had a joking smile on his face. The group of Tiger Guard soldiers behind him who had been rushed into chaos just stopped panicking, only to find that Cao Zhang had been held to the throat by Gan Ning with a knife.  For a moment, everyone's face turned pale with fright, and they all had expressions of disbelief.

    Fast, Gan Ning was really fast, from breaking through to capturing Cao Zhang.  Gan Ning could be described as lightning fast, so fast that no one could react in time.

    Seeing Cao Zhang being captured, the Tiger Guard soldiers threw rat weapons to avoid making mistakes.  Gan Ning frowned suddenly, looked directly into Cao Zhang's eyes coldly, and asked coldly.

    "Little thief Cao, can you admit your defeat?"

    Although his life was in the hands of others at this time, Cao Zhang did not show weakness. Instead, he glared angrily and shouted sternly.

    "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. If you want to kill or behead, just come! If I, Cao Ziwen, frown even half a brow, I am not a good man!!!"

    Hearing this, Gan Ning narrowed his eyes, and his murderous aura suddenly broke out, as if he was about to kill Cao Zhang.

    "Evil thief!!! Don't hurt the third young master!!!"

    Seeing this, the Tiger Guard sergeants were so anxious that they all shouted loudly.  Cao Zhang showed no fear and even shouted angrily before his death.

    "If you give me three years, I, Cao Ziwen, will not be afraid of the world's heroes! Thief, you are not a hero if you take advantage of the opportunity!!"

    As soon as Cao Zhang finished speaking, Gan Ning's arm strength stopped, and the sharp blade cut a bloody hole in Cao Zhang's throat.  Gan Ning's eyes almost narrowed into a thin line, and he suddenly laughed wildly.

    ¡°Hahahahahahaha!!!¡±

    While Gan Ning was laughing wildly, he made another incredible move. He actually took back the knife, as if he didn't want to kill Cao Zhang.  Cao Zhang asked in a cold voice with a cold face as he listened to Gan Ning's disdainful laughter.

    ¡°Thief, why are you laughing!?¡±

    Gan Ning suddenly recalled Han Dang's words in his mind, and a thought suddenly arose in his mind, and he said in a condensed voice.

    "Okay! Little thief Cao, I will give you three years, and I will come back to take your life after three years!"

    After Gan Ning finished drinking, he tightened the reins and his horse rushed past Cao Zhang. As he passed Cao Zhang, Gan Ning's eyes suddenly gleamed.  In an instant, Cao Zhang felt as if he saw a huge bird with thunder all over its body spreading its wings and flying towards him. He was so frightened that his original injuries suddenly broke out and a mouthful of blood spurted out on the spot.  Cao Zhang suddenly spurted blood. The Tiger Guard sergeant thought that Gan Ning was secretly attacking him, so he hurriedly looked at Cao Zhang and rushed towards him. At the same time, he kept yelling and scolding Gan Ning who retreated gracefully.

    Gan Ning seemed to ignore the continuous shouts and curses coming from behind, and only saw a cynical smile curling up at the corner of his mouth as he murmured.

    "Little thief Cao, I will let you grow for another three years to see if you have unparalleled strength in the world!"

    The unruly Gan Ning could have killed Cao Zhang, but because of his arrogant temper, he let Cao Zhang go.  In the next three years, whether Cao Zhang will be able to control Cao Zhang as Han Dang said, no one in the world will be able to control him, is a matter for later.

     When the Tiger Guard sergeant saw Gan Ning leaving, he was afraid that another wave of pursuers would arrive, so he quickly protected Cao Zhang and fled.  On the other side, Cao Cao also successfully escaped.

    At the same time, on the banks of the Yangtze River, Jiangdong's army was chasing Cao's soldiers and horses all over the mountains and fields. Cao's soldiers were killed and lost their helmets and armor, and ran away with their heads in their hands, without the ability to fight back.  The Jiangdong army, under the command of various generals, continued to fight until late at night.  Zhou Tai, Han Dang, Lu Meng and other generals rushed to report. Zhou Yu learned that Cao Cao had escaped again. Although he was extremely angry, he did not dare to go deep into the enemy's territory. He quickly sent orders to all troops to cross the river by boat that night.  Go to Koto.

    At this point, the war between Cao and Sun came to an end.  Both sides lost a large number of troops and horses. Many generals on Cao Cao's side were seriously injured, and many generals died in this battle. Among them, the ones that Cao Cao deplored the most were Cao Hong and Cao Zilian.  Cao Cao fled back to Xiapi in embarrassment. The Xiahou brothers, Zhang Jaw, Yu Jin and other generals were all injured. Almost half of the 30,000-strong army was wiped out by Jiangdong's army. Fortunately, only a few thousand people survived.

    Cao Cao originally thought that he could force the Jiangdong troops led by Zhou Yu into a dead end on the bank of the Yangtze River and eliminate future troubles. However, he unexpectedly was defeated by Zhou Yu. His army suffered heavy casualties and he was almost killed.

    Afterwards, Cao Cao meditated for a night. Suddenly he suffered from a headache and screamed in pain. Jia Xu, Xun You and other counselors urgently asked a doctor for treatment.  At this moment, a general suddenly sent a letter from Zhou Yu.  It turned out that this general Cao Cao had been captured by Zhou Yu before, but Zhou Yu did not kill him. Instead, he asked him to go back and deliver this letter to Cao Cao.

    When Jia Xu and Xun You saw that Cao Cao was suffering from a serious illness, they were afraid that Cao Cao would be angry and make his illness more serious, so they wanted to stop him.  Cao Cao insisted on seeing it and watched it.  It¡¯s briefly mentioned in the book.

    "The Sun family in Jiangdong and the King of Wei were both ministers of the Han Dynasty. The two families had agreed to a truce, but the King of Wei was aggressive and wanted to kill Zhou. Now the world is in chaos. Although the King of Wei is the most powerful in the world, his foundation is unstable. North  If the king of Wei insists on going to war with Jiangdong, the heroes of Jiangdong will fight to the death to protect their homeland. All the princes in the world are afraid of the power of the king of Wei, and they will immediately unite to attack the king of Wei.  The Yangtze River is in trouble today. You should think about it yourself!"

    After Cao Cao finished observing, he broke out in a cold sweat. The original headache was cured without any medicine.  Cao Cao squinted his eyes and pondered for a while, remembering that there was still a large army fighting in Jingzhou today.  Cao Cao immediately suppressed the idea of ????taking advantage of the opportunity to attack Jiangdong. He wanted to attack Jingzhou first and stabilize the situation, so he planned to plot Jiangdong.

    Cao Cao paid attention, and then issued orders to all the soldiers to rest and recuperate for a period of time, and then immediately go to Jingzhou to help in the battle.  At the same time, a sacrifice was held to commemorate Cao Hong. Cao Cao cried and laid a memorial ceremony for him in person, and Gu told the generals to explain.

    "I love my nephew alone, but I don't feel deep pain. I cry for Cao Hong alone!"

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Cao Cao then posthumously named Cao Hong as Gonghou.  Cao Ren, Cao Chun and other Cao generals all cried over Cao Hong's death.

    And in the southern part of the Central Plains, when wars were raging everywhere, in the land of Shu in the west of the world, in the city of Anhan in the east of Chuan.

    Let us say that although Wenhan defeated the Xichuan Army two months ago and captured the peerless warrior Huang Zhong, due to the depletion of food and grass and the exhaustion of the soldiers, Wenhan did not dare to take the risk of attacking Jiameng Pass. He withdrew his troops back to Anhan, ceased fighting and rested, and at the same time returned from Yong,  Liang Erzhou transferred grain and grass supplies.

    Within two months of recuperation, Huang Zhong was seriously injured and fell into a coma. Wenhan sent people to escort Huang Zhong to Chang'an for treatment, and also sent people to ask Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji to go for treatment in person.

    Huang Zhong¡¯s loyalty and righteousness are unparalleled, and he has peerless courage. There are few opponents in the world. If Huang Zhong can vote for him, it will undoubtedly be a big help.  Wenhan was extremely concerned about Huang Zhong and was afraid that Huang Zhong's family would be implicated, so he secretly sent people to visit Jingzhou and secretly escorted his family to Hedong for resettlement.

    After Wenhan made arrangements for Huang Zhong, Zhang Song offered a plan. He said that the troops in Xichuan were currently empty and Liu Zhang was weak by nature. He could secretly send someone to Yizhou to meet Liu Zhang with a letter and persuade him to surrender.  Wenhan was overjoyed when he heard the plan. He discussed it with Li You and Cheng Gongying, and they all believed that the plan was feasible. He immediately sent someone to follow Shuwang to advance to Xichuan.

    But he said that since Liu Zhang learned that the battle situation at Jiameng Pass was unfavorable and that his army suffered heavy casualties, Liu Zhang had been a coward in his life. He heard about the battle situation and could not sleep day and night, feeling deeply worried.  One day, Liu Zhang urgently gathered all the officials to discuss.

    "Wen Bufan has defeated our army, and Jiameng Pass is in danger. If Jiameng Pass is lost, the enemy army can march straight in and attack Huanglong. Yizhou is in danger. I'm afraid that in less than a year, all the forty-one states in Xichuan will be invaded by thieves.  Hands. Can you give me some advice on how to solve this problem?"

    Liu Zhang's voice was trembling, showing his weakness. Seeing this, all the civil and military officials in Xichuan felt chilled and worried.  Huang Quan's eyes narrowed and he hurriedly attended, holding his hands in hand and admonishing him.

    "The most evil person in Wen Bufan's life was Liu Xuande. I originally advised my lord to cede territory to Wen Bufan and have a truce, but Liu Xuande strongly opposed it. Liu Xuande didn't know the heights of the world and insisted on going to war with Wen Bufan. The reason for his defeat is all because of this person.  My lord, why don't you send Liu Xuande to your side?Next, he sent an envoy to send his head to Wen Bufan, and then told him that he was willing to cede territory and seek peace.  Wen Bufan was overjoyed and would definitely agree to this.  This crisis in Xichuan can be solved!  "

    As soon as Huang Quan said this, the expressions of all Xichuan ministers in the hall changed drastically.  However, many advisers agreed with Huang Quan's views and attended the meeting one after another.  When Liu Zhang heard this, his face darkened and he hesitated.

    "No, Liu Xuande is my brother. Now, at my invitation, he came all the way to Sichuan to fight against the powerful enemy for me. But at this time, I am seeking to protect myself and harming him. It is really unjust!"

    Although Liu Zhang was saying this, Huang Quan vaguely noticed that Liu Zhang was a little emotional, but he did not dare to say what he was thinking due to moral reasons.
