    That prestige was like an ancient evil, frightening all the Shu soldiers around to change their expressions.  As soon as it was said that it was late, Dian Wei suddenly flew up on his horse, his momentum surged, and he was frightening, hoping that Hua Xiong would come and kill him.  Hua Xiong seemed to see a black dragon and a white elephant beside Dian Wei, as if they had the potential to destroy the heaven and the earth.

    Hua Xiong's face changed drastically, and he quickly gathered his momentum, putting all his strength into the hand of the sword. Seeing Dian Wei approaching, he suddenly struck with the sword.  Suddenly, Dian Wei's two iron halberds were struck out.  There was a loud "boom" sound like the sky cracking, and the wind and dust spread into the sky, and Hua Xiong, his men and horses, were seen violently retreating out of the wind and dust.  After a moment, Dian Wei also came out of Fengchen and killed Hua Xiong.  Hua Xiong felt as if his internal organs were in pieces, and a stream of blood surged from his abdomen to his throat.  Seeing that Dian Wei was about to kill him, he sprayed a mouthful of blood towards Dian Wei's head.  Dian Wei opened his halberd and blood splattered all over his face.  At this moment, Hua Xiong had already reined in his horse and retreated into the formation, commanding his troops to charge.  Dian Wei suddenly killed him, and the morale of the Wei soldiers was greatly shaken.  Cao Cao led his troops back to kill him.  ,

    At this time, on a hillside not far away, Ma Liang sighed when he saw the battle situation, and quickly taught the soldiers to beat drums and give the order to withdraw.  The trumpets sounded together.  Hua Xiong immediately led his troops to retreat, leaving behind more than a thousand sword and shield hands. Dian Wei's blood had long since dissipated, but he could not break through now.  Hua Xiong returned to the Wei army's stronghold, ordered a group of cavalry to set fire everywhere, and then led his own army to attack Cao Ren together with Pan Ping's army.  Cao Ren's army could not resist and was defeated and dispersed.  The fire gradually spread in Wei Jun's stronghold.  Soon, Dian Wei broke through the defense line of Hua Xiong's army, and most of the Wei soldiers rushed to kill him.  Hua Xiong and Pan Ping did not dare to entangle too much and immediately withdrew their troops.  Cao Cao led his troops to the camp and quickly taught the soldiers to put out the fire.  The night's fighting ended here.  By the time the Wei army put out the fire, it was already dawn.  The Wei army suffered more than 20,000 casualties due to the surprise attack by the Shu army last night.  The Shu army only lost less than 2,000 people.  Cao Cao was furious with the thunder and quickly ordered his troops to rest.  Cao Ren sent his troops to guard the area and prepare for the Shu army to rob the stronghold again.

    When Hua Xiong returned to the city after a great victory, Ma Liang and Fazheng were already waiting at the city gate.  When Hua Xiong saw the two of them, he quickly dismounted and smiled at Ma Liang.

    "Haha. Ji Chang's plan is brilliant, and he should be the first to take the lead. It's a pity that he couldn't take the opportunity to kill the old thief last night!!"

    It turns out that the robbery of the stronghold last night was Ma Liang's plan.  Ma Liang listened, but he was humble and said.

    "General, you praise me so much. This great victory is all due to the hard work of all the officers and men. How can you dare to take the credit if you only talk about it!"

    Hearing this, Hua Xiong burst into laughter and admired Ma Liang even more.  At that time, he ordered all the troops to return to the city to rest, and then discussed matters with Ma Liang, Fazheng and others at the county government office in the city.  Hua Xiong was sitting in the high hall of the palace. Everyone was seated. Hua Xiong looked overjoyed and said in a deep voice.

    "The battle last night left the old thief frightened. Why not take advantage of the situation and pursue the enemy? After the sergeant has rested, we will go to the robbery village at the beginning of the night!!"

    Fa Zheng listened and hurriedly attended, shaking his head and saying.

    "No, Cao Cao is a man who knows the art of war. The reason why the previous plan was successful was because he was unprepared to attack, and Cao Cao's army traveled a long distance, and all his troops were exhausted. At this time, Cao Cao will definitely place hidden sentries all over the camp. If  If you act rashly, you will lose more than you win."

    When Hua Xiong heard this, he frowned and asked Fazheng.

    "Then what should we do based on filial piety and uprightness!?"

    Fazheng¡¯s expression condensed, his mind whirled with thoughts, he pondered for a while, and then he spoke slowly.

    "Last time, the old thief Cao divided his army. One part came to kill Xiangyang, and the other part attacked Jingzhou. Now, although our army rushes to Xiangyang in time, we don't know what the battle situation in Jingzhou is like, and we have sent people to explore it first, in case anything happens.  one."

    After hearing this, Hua Xiong couldn't stay calm and laughed.

    "There is no need to worry too much about filial piety. Jingzhou is guarded by Pan Gong, and his injury must have recovered now. Pan Gong is the unparalleled general of our Shu Kingdom, and he also has Jingzhou's "Er Kuai" to advise him. Just rely on those young people in the Wei Kingdom.  What's there to be afraid of?"

    Hearing this, Fazheng looked calm and shook his head.

    "Having said that, there are many people under the old thief who are resourceful and powerful. You must not be careless and underestimate the enemy. It is better to be cautious."

    As soon as Fa Zheng finished speaking, Ma Liang also echoed.  Hua Xiong heard that both of them were so cautious and did not dare to be careless, so he ordered several soldiers to go to Jingzhou in three groups to explore.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Cao Cao ordered his sergeants to hold a drum-beating meeting, and his subordinate Wen Wu discussed with his subordinates how to break the city.  Cao Ren and Man Chong looked at each other and then attended Bingzhi's previous discussion with Man Chong.

    "According to my opinion, why doesn't your Majesty send his troops to approach Xiangyang and lay siege to him? In this way, Hua Xiong's army is trapped in Xiangyang, and Jingzhou has no troops to rescue him. Even if Pan Wushuang is guarding him, how can he resist Yuan Yuan if he fights alone?  Let fifty thousand troops!"

    When Cao Cao heard the plan, his eyes that could swallow the sky suddenly lit up, and he glanced at Guo Jia.Guo Jia smiled silently, and Cao Cao understood it in his heart. According to Cao Ren's plan, he sent an order to break out the camp that day and set up a camp outside Xiangyang City.  The armies took orders and rose up from the stronghold.  Dian Wei first led an army to Xiangyang City to prevent Hua Xiong's army from attacking.  After a while, Dian Wei led his army to arrive first, and his 60,000-strong army set up a formation five or six miles away from Xiangyang City. The Wei soldiers from all departments were waiting in strict order.  When the Shu soldiers on the city saw this, they quickly informed Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong's face changed greatly when he heard this, so he summoned Fazheng and Ma Liang to climb the city together to watch.  When Hua Xiong and others arrived, most of Cao Cao's troops had already arrived and set up camp ten miles away from Xiangyang City.  Hua Xiong was so angry that he roared.

    "Old thief Cao is really bullying people too much!!! He dares to turn against the guest!! Look at me, I will take orders and kill him to retreat!!"

    After Hua Xiong finished drinking, he wanted to order troops to go to the city.  Ma Liang hurriedly tried to dissuade him and opened his mouth.

    "General, wait a minute, the other army has been prepared for a long time. Dian evil came to lead the army and prepared the preparations outside the city. If the general attacks rashly, I'm afraid it will not be easy to win!"

    After hearing this, Hua Xiong¡¯s face darkened and he shouted coldly.

    "If not, why don't we just let the other army set up camp under our city!?"

    Ma Liang sighed after hearing this and talked to Hua Xiong.

    "Wei's troops are numerous and powerful, and they are all ready and sharp at the moment. Our army can only defend the city and must not act rashly. Otherwise, Xiangyang will be in danger."

    After hearing this, Hua Xiong felt extremely impatient, but he had nothing to do.  A few days later, the Wei army camp was set up and surrounded the four gates of Xiangyang, with heavy packages.  Cao Cao saw that the trench in Xiangyang was very wide and the water was deep, so he was in dire need of approaching the city, so he ordered his sergeants to transport earth to fill the trench. He also used homespun bags mixed with firewood and firewood handles to make ladders and stools at the edge of the city.  He also set up a cloud ladder, and Cao Cao personally led the generals to peek into the city day and night.  The soldiers of Shu were all frightened when they saw that the soldiers of Wei were preparing for a long-term war.  However, Hua Xiong was bored day and night. One day, Hua Xiong heard that Cao Cao and his generals were climbing a ladder outside the city to take a peek.  Ma Liang and Fazheng seemed to have expected this. When Hua Xiong arrived at the school grounds, they were already waiting there.  When Hua Xiong saw the two of them, his face darkened and he shouted angrily.

    "Don't try to stop me. If this continues, I will undoubtedly sit and wait for death!! Mr. Pan has entrusted me with the great responsibility. If Xiangyang fails, how can I have the face to meet Mr. Pan!?"

    Hearing this, Fazheng shook his head, smiled, and said to Hua Xiong.

    "Old thief Cao is very good at using psychological tricks in his life. If the general comes out, he will play into his trap!!"

    When Hua Xiong heard this, he narrowed his eyes. He was not an ignorant person. He didn't know this truth, but the anger in his heart was hard to swallow. Besides, Hua Xiong also had his own reasons, so he shouted immediately.

    "At present, the Wei army is trapped but not attacking. If we wait here for several months and Jingzhou is negligent, what will happen!?"

    It turns out that although Hua Xiong said he had no worries about Jingzhou before, he was actually extremely worried in his heart.  After all, Jingzhou's troops are empty, and Pan Feng fights alone. If anything happens, Jingzhou will be in danger.

    Hearing this, Fazheng let out a long sigh. He couldn't help but show a bit of worry on his face, and said in a deep voice.

    "The current plan is to hope that Mr. Pan can turn the tide. And our responsibility is to protect Xiangyang and ensure that it is not lost."

    After Fazheng said it, Ma Liang also persuaded him because of his background.  After hearing this, Hua Xiong had no choice but to suppress the restlessness in his heart and wait and see.

    Cao Cao¡¯s more than 180,000 soldiers and horses surrounded Xiangyang City, and Xiangyang seemed to be an isolated city.  But he said that in Hanshou City in Jingzhou, Pan Feng recovered from his injuries. He had heard that soldiers at the front pass had come to report that Xiahou Dun had led his army to attack.  Pan Feng hurriedly mobilized troops and horses from various passes, and gathered more than 8,000 elite soldiers in Hanshou City.

    On the same day, another scout came to report that Xiahou Dun's 50,000 troops had arrived dozens of miles away from Hanshou City.  Pan Feng heard this and quickly consulted brothers Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang.  The two Kuai looked at each other and smiled. Kuai Liang smiled brightly and said confidently.

    "Pan Gong, don't worry too much, Liang has already made up his mind."

    Kuai Liang¡¯s teaching plan is like this at the moment.  Pan Feng was overjoyed when he heard the plan and praised him repeatedly.  It turns out that since the two Kuai brothers learned that Xiahou Dun had led his army to kill Jingzhou, they had been discussing the strategy for days and spent a lot of thought on it. This plan was perfect.  Pan Feng followed his plan and led an army to intercept Xiahou Dun's grain road. He also ordered brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang to divide their troops into two groups and set fire to the mountain.  The three generals each led 2,000 troops and horses.

    But it was said that Xiahou Dun led his army to kill Jingzhou, and Jia Xu taught him not to underestimate the enemy and to explore the road.  Xiahou Dun often made mistakes due to his impatience. Since Li Dian's death, his temper has changed drastically, and now his mind is more careful than before.  Xiahou Dun then followed Jia Xu's advice and ordered his troops to scout along the road.  Suddenly, a team of scouts rushed back and forth to report.

    "Report!! There are two groups of Shu soldiers who have blocked all the roads near and far, and set fire to all the places where they cut firewood. I don't know where the soldiers are."

    When Xiahou Dun heard this, his expression changed. Just as he was confused, he reported that there was another group of soldiers and horses heading towards the grain road, as if they wanted to fight.??Stealing food.  Xiahou Dun's face darkened and he asked Jia Xu for advice.  Jia Xu's eyes twinkled and he spoke to Xiahou Dun.

    "Food is the lifeblood of the army and must not be missed at all. Pan Wushuang retreated to Jingzhou to recuperate due to injury. The injury must have recovered by this time. If he comes to rob the food, it will be in danger. The general can send a strong general to protect it.  ¡±

    After hearing this, Xiahou Dun nodded heavily, then looked back at the generals and asked.

    "Who dares to go?"

    When all the generals heard Pan Feng¡¯s name, they all looked fearful.  We know that not long ago, Pan Feng killed Li Dian, seriously injured Le Jin, and gained notoriety.  Seeing that all the generals were afraid, Xiahou Dun was furious and roared.

    "You and others don't want to go, why don't you teach me to go there myself!?"

    As soon as Xiahou Dun finished speaking, he saw a fierce general wearing a golden tiger-head armor and holding a seven-foot tiger-head sword. He had the head of a tiger and the head of a tiger, and was full of terrifying power. He rushed out on horseback and shouted.

    "Pan Wushuang has nothing to fear, I am willing to go!!!"

    Xiahou Dun took a closer look and saw that it was Xu Chu. He was overjoyed and laughed.

    "If Zhong Kangruo goes, everything will be safe!!"

    When Xu Chu heard this, his expression was high and his eyes were full of pride.  Seeing Xu Chu like this, Jia Xu's heart trembled and he quickly ordered.

    "The Tiger Marquis is famous all over the world, and there are few people in the world who are the Tiger Marquis's rivals. But Pan Wushuang is really not an idle person, and the name of Wushuang General is definitely not in vain. The Tiger Marquis must not underestimate the enemy."
