    Even though Cao Zhang was young, he was very mature in his thinking. He could see the concerns in Zhang Jia at a glance and shouted sharply.

    "The Wu thieves have invaded our territory, and the country is at risk of survival. It is everyone's responsibility to protect our country!! General, why should we worry too much!!"

    He listened with his jaw open and his face was calm.  At this time, Cao Pi also walked out.

    "What Brother Zhang said is true. Although we are the heirs of Prince Wei, we are also generals in the army. We should act according to orders and fight to the death. I hope that the general will not take it into consideration, but there are military orders, so just give them."

    "Cao Pi's sharp sword-like eyes sparkled, quite like his father's heroic demeanor.  Hearing this, Zhang Jia looked at Xia Houyuan.  Xia Houyuan looked calm and nodded.  Zhang Jia felt certain in his heart and said.

    "Gan Xingba is not an easy person, you must not underestimate the enemy. What should you do if you encounter an enemy?"

    Cao Pi smiled brightly, his pupils shrank, and he said in a condensed voice.

    "Pi has always heard that Gan Xingba is unruly, arrogant, and does not take the heroes of the world seriously. If he hears that we are going to fight, he will definitely feel contempt. In this way, we will have an opportunity to take advantage of him.  It can be broken."

    As soon as Cao Pi said this, he opened his jaw and showed a strange color on his face, sighing secretly in his heart.  Xia Houyuan laughed and opened his jaw.

    "You are always here, so why should you worry about it? Just wait and see for the good news!!"

    Hearing this, Zhang Jia also laughed, and ordered Cao Pi and Cao Zhang to lead eight thousand tiger guards to fight against the enemy.  The two of them took the order, quickly gathered their troops and horses, and set off immediately.  At noon, it was early summer, the sun was shining brightly, and the burning flame seemed to burn all the water in the world.  Gan Ning led the army forward, and all the soldiers in the army felt thirsty.  Gan Ning quickly ordered his scouts to explore, hoping to find water sources to quench their thirst.  Cao Pi led his army to a hilltop not far away.  As soon as Cao Zhang saw the Dongwu people, his big shining eyes suddenly shot out two rays of light, and he wanted to lead his troops down to fight.  However, Cao Pi moved his hand and stopped Cao Zhang with his eyes.  Cao Zhang always respected Cao Pi and did not dare to make mistakes.  Cao Pi held his chin with his hand, squinted his sharp eyes, and looked for a while. He saw the Soochow soldiers in various shapes and forms, exhausted, with their mouths open to breathe, and their complexions were pale and weak.  The more Cao Pi looked, the brighter his eyes became. Suddenly a burst of sunlight flashed over. Cao Pi felt a burst of heat, and suddenly his face changed, revealing a bit of joy.  Cao Pi then instructed his soldiers to immediately rush to the mountains southeast of here.  There, there is a long river.  It turned out that Cao Pi expected that the Wu soldiers were thirsty and wanted to find water to quench their thirst.  It just so happened that Cao Zhang had explored the terrain within tens of miles of Chen County earlier and was very familiar with the surrounding terrain.

    I don¡¯t know how long it took, but the sun above my head became brighter and brighter, and the flames were poisonous, as if they could penetrate right through the body and burn the internal organs.  Gan Ning's throat kept swallowing, but there was no saliva in his mouth.  Each Wu soldier dragged his feet, moving slowly and with great difficulty.  Suddenly a scout came to report and found a long river a few miles southeast.  When Gan Ning heard this, his face was overjoyed and he quickly led his troops and rushed forward.  Those Wu soldiers seemed to have been suddenly given a shot of chicken blood. They became more alert and ran away.  After a while, Gan Ning rushed over and saw that there was indeed a long and slender river in front of him, and the water in the river was not fast.  The river was not very deep, so Wu's soldiers rushed to get there first. All the people and horses went down to the river to drink water. The people were shouting at each other and the horses were neighing.  But he said that Cao Pi had previously led a group of men and horses to fly over and bulldozed earth and moved rocks upstream to stop the river water.  About half an hour passed.  Cao Pi suddenly heard the neighing of the horses in the river, and his face suddenly lit up, knowing that it must be the Wu soldiers and horses drinking water in the river.  At that moment, Cao Pi drew his sword and made a move. With an order, the military advisors all pushed away the earth and rocks. The water surged and rushed downstream.

    "" Wu soldiers were taking a drink and resting. Suddenly, the mountains shook, and they saw a flood coming from above.  Wu's troops were unprepared;

    Most of the soldiers drowned in the water, and the men and horses were scattered.  Fortunately, the people of Wu were well versed in the nature of water, and Gan Ning jumped out of the water like a dragon.  As soon as the water subsided, Gan Ning quickly picked up a knife from the ground and shouted loudly.

    "The armies prepare for war!! The Wei people must have an ambush!!"

    As soon as Gan Ning finished speaking, the mountains and forests below suddenly started to tremble with drum beating.  A group of men and horses galloped over, and the leading general was Cao Zhangye, with a yellow beard and a white face, holding a huge black iron sword.  Cao Zhang stared and shouted.

    "Wu Thief, come and take your life!!!"

    A violent roar frightened Wu Jun.  Cao Zhang led his troops to attack with great force. Before most of the Wu soldiers had time to pick up the soldiers, the Wei soldiers came and killed them one after another. The Wu soldiers were caught off guard and screamed in agony.  Gan Ning anxiously found a horse and jumped on it. Just as he was about to charge down, he saw Cao Zhang riding his horse and killing him. The black iron giant sword in his hand danced like a dragon in the sky, flashing thunder and striking down.  Gan Ning's expression changed, and he quickly raised his sword to resist.  Cao Zhang made a powerful move like a tiger, and killed seven or eight people in a row. The black iron giant sword made the wind blow. Gan Ning was killed for a while and was unable to fight back, but there was murderous intent hidden in his eyes.  When Cao Zhang danced the eighth sword, Gan Ning suddenly became angry and dodged. Cao Zhang slashed the air with his sword, and Gan Ning's big sword came up., the rays of light intertwined, horizontally, vertically and diagonally, the sword light was so fast that there was no shadow, and I don¡¯t know how many people were killed.  Cao Zhang twisted his sword and defended, not daring to be careless. When Gan Ning's offensive stopped, he immediately launched a counterattack.  Gan Ning smiled coldly, slashed with his sword at an angle, swung Cao Zhang's black iron giant sword away, and then stabbed Cao Zhang's breastplate suddenly, cursing in his mouth.

    "Three sons of the Cao family, several years have passed, but nothing more than that!!"

    "Han Shimou Chapter 1121: The Cao brothers outsmart Gan Xingba" Seeing Gan Ning's sword was about to strike, Cao Zhang's expression changed, and his whole face looked like an angry tiger. When he dodged, his hands  He swung his sword and hit Gan Ning on the head.  Gan Ning was startled when he saw Cao Zhang's skills suddenly becoming faster. Then he noticed a gust of wind coming towards his head and hurriedly turned around to avoid it.  Cao Zhang split it with his sword, then twisted his sword and smashed it again.  Gan Ning didn't know when a smile appeared on his lips, and his smile became stronger and stronger, as if he was killing with great pleasure.  Suddenly, shouts of killing came from the upper reaches, and Cao Pi led his troops to kill them.  Two Wei soldiers attacked from behind, and the Wu soldiers broke up and fled.  Gan Ning saw that the situation was like this, he suddenly became powerful, his sword flew like thunder, killed Cao Zhang, reined in his horse and fled.  Cao Zhang cursed loudly and suddenly came to chase him.  Cao Pi suddenly came over on flying horse and stopped Cao Zhang with a shout.

    ¡°Brother Zhang, don¡¯t go chasing after him!!¡±

    When Cao Zhang heard this, he reined in his horse suddenly.  At this time, Gan Ning suddenly turned around and shot an arrow.  The cold arrow suddenly shot out. Cao Zhang was blinded by the sight. He slashed with his sword and cut the cold arrow into pieces. He stared at Gan Ning with his bright eyes and cursed.

    "You are a sycophant! If you hurt someone with cold arrows, you are not considered a hero!!"

    Gan Ning heard this and burst into laughter. He galloped forward and opened his mouth to laugh.

    "The third son of the Cao family, don't you understand that soldiers never tire of deceit!!"

    When Cao Zhang heard this, he was so angry that his whole body was on fire. As soon as he grabbed the reins, he wanted to chase him.  Cao Pi secretly rode his horse to block the way, with a contemptuous smile on his face, and smiled and cursed at Gan Ning.

    "Gan Xingba, if you knew the art of war, how could you be defeated so quickly!? In my opinion, you are nothing more than this!"

    As soon as Cao Pi said this, Gan Ning's face suddenly darkened, a pair of sharp eyes like an eagle's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he shouted sternly.

    "Han Shimou" "Who are you, how dare you insult me!!?"

    "Hmph! Listen carefully, Gan Xingba, the one who defeats you today is my second brother Cao Ziwen, Cao Ziheng!!"

    Cao Zhang snorted coldly and shouted loudly.  Gan Ning narrowed his eyes and gave Gan Ning a hard look, as if to imprint his appearance in his mind, and then slowly withdrew with more than a thousand remaining soldiers.  Cao Pi saw Gan Ning guarding the rear formation and did not dare to pursue him. When Gan Ning's army was far away, he ordered his soldiers to clean up the battlefield and obtained countless weapons and horses.

    But it was said that Gan Ning had been defeated for a while, and he felt bad luck in his heart and was eager for revenge.  As they were retreating, a gust of wind and dust covered the sky in front, and only the banners covered the sun. Sun Quan led most of his troops to come over the mountains and fields.  Sun Quan, supported by Ding Feng, Ling Tong and other generals, rushed to the front of the formation.  Gan Ning quickly dismounted and bowed. Sun Quan was shocked when he saw Gan Ning and the soldiers behind him. Their armor was uneven, they were all wet, and they were in a very embarrassed state. He was shocked and asked.  Gan Ning quickly told him what had happened.  When Sun Quan heard this, he was very surprised and opened his mouth.

    "The two sons of the Cao family, one literary and one martial, are so capable!!"

    Gan Ning heard this and said through gritted teeth.

    "My lord, don't worry. I didn't make any preparations before, so I fell into his trap. If we go again, we will definitely capture the two sons of the Cao family!!"

    When Sun Quan heard this, his face darkened.  At this time, Zhou Yu was in the rear army, responsible for escorting the baggage and siege equipment. There was one less person to discuss with him, and it was Hesitation.  Lu Meng, who was standing next to him, saw him, bowed his hands, and shouted in a solemn voice.

    "If General Gan goes, I am willing to go with him!!"

    When Sun Quan heard this, he looked over and saw that it was Lu Meng. He felt reassured and smiled.

    "Entertainment Show" "If Xingba and Ziming go together, nothing will go wrong!"

    After Sun Quan finished speaking, he ordered the soldiers to build a stronghold by the water on a flat hilltop a few miles away.  All armies rested.  Early the next morning, Gan Ning ordered five thousand soldiers and horses, led the army and set off, expecting Chen Cheng to kill with great force.  Let's say that Cao Pi returned to the city after a great victory yesterday. When Zhang Jia heard that Cao Pi had planned to defeat Gan Ning, he was overjoyed and held a banquet to reward him.  On the second day of Pingming, Cao Pi and Cao Zhang came together to find Zhang Jia and paid homage.  Cao Pi said in a deep voice.

    "Gan Xingba, this person has always wanted revenge. He was defeated by me yesterday, and he will definitely come for revenge today!!"

    Hearing this, he opened his jaw, felt shocked, and said quickly.

    "If this is the case, I will lead my troops to meet the enemy!"

    "General, don't worry. You can't kill a chicken with a sledgehammer! Besides, the general's reputation is far and wide. If Gan Xingba sees your banner, he will be cautious. I have a plan to defeat Gan Xingba again!"

    Cao Pi¡¯s eyes were bright and bright, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.  Hearing this, his face trembled and he asked quickly.

    "The plan is coming from An, Zi Heng will come quickly."

    Although Cao Pi and Cao Zhang are the heirs of Cao Cao, but they all have no pretensions. After getting acquainted with them, they all call them by their names.  Cao Pi smiled brilliantly and said that the plan was like this.  He opened his jaw, his eyes shone, and he laughed with his beard.

    "This is a very good plan. I can hide in the army and go with you. If I can capture Gan Xingba, it will be like cutting off Sun Zhongmou's arm!!"

    After hearing this, Cao Pi thought it was good, nodded and smiled.

    So Zhang Jaw ordered Xiahou Yuan to guard the city, and assigned eight thousand elite troops to Cao Pi to command. Zhang Jaw changed his armor and hid in the army.  Cao Pi led his troops away and rushed to a valley ten miles outside the city, where he taught Zhang Jaw to lead an army to ambush behind.  Cao Pi, however, led his own troops and rushed to the valley.  After a while, Gan Ning led his troops to fight, and then they set up their formations so that the two armies faced each other.  Gan Ning stood on his horse with his sword drawn, stood under the gate flag, raised his sword and shouted sternly.

    "Does the son of the Cao family dare to fight a decisive battle with a certain person!!?"
