    Only Pan Feng and the others broke through, but even so, the three generals only escaped death. Pan Ping had more than a dozen wounds, large and small, and was covered in blood.  Hua Xiong was also in a very embarrassed state. His armor had numerous holes, and there were knife marks and gun muzzles on his legs, abdomen, and arms.  As for Pan Feng, he was also seriously injured.  Xi Zhicai secretly saw it, bowed his hands, and smiled calmly.

    "I have always heard that Pan Gong is an unparalleled general. I saw it today. If it is true. If I didn't have the courage of Pan Gong, even if I could find a way to break the formation, it would be difficult to succeed. Admire, admire."

    Hearing this, Pan Feng narrowed his eyes into two sharp thin lines and said coldly.

    "Your formation has been broken by me, and our army has indeed won this formation!!"

    Pan Feng won, but the victory was extremely miserable.  Xi Zhicai chuckled and nodded in response.

    "It is true as General Pan said, now you and I have a victory and a loss, so this battle formation should be considered a draw. You and I are our own masters, and we both have important responsibilities, and we are not willing to stop here. Since it is a draw,  , we should choose another method to determine the outcome.¡±

    When Pan Feng heard this, his expression changed, his eyes were fixed on Xi Zhicai, and he asked coldly.

    "Then in your opinion, what should it be!?"

    "Wait a minute!!"

    At this moment, Fazheng suddenly hurried over on horseback.  Fazheng said sharply in Pan Feng's ear.  

    "Although our army can break this formation, both Pan Gong and the two generals are injured. If they come to fight with the generals, it will be very bad for our army. If the generals really want to decide the outcome, they can choose to fight.  "

    Former commander Ma Dai brought out more than 2,000 Bai'er elite soldiers from Guanzhong City.  Now that Zhang Ren is dead, the white-eared soldiers are temporarily commanded by Pan Feng.  The death of Zhang Ren made all the Bai'er soldiers deeply hate the Tang people and eager for revenge.  The White-Er Jing soldiers have become a mournful army. If they want to fight, even if they are against the Black Wind Cavalry, they have a good chance of winning.  Pan Feng also seemed to understand the profound meaning of Fa Zheng. After concentrating his concentration, he spoke to Xi Zhicai again.

    "Do you dare to fight with soldiers!?"

    After Xi Zhi heard this, he smiled jokingly, with a hint of contempt in his eyes, and said deliberately to annoy Pan Feng.

    "I have always heard that Mr. Pan is an upright and heroic figure with a deep understanding of etiquette, but he did not expect that he would be such a rude villain. Our army asked you to choose first, and you chose the fighting formation first. Please follow the etiquette.  Say, it¡¯s my turn to choose!¡±

    When Pan Feng heard this, his eyes widened suddenly and he shouted angrily.

    "If you want to choose, just choose, I will accompany you, why do you need such nonsense!!"

    When Fa Zheng heard this, his expression suddenly changed. When he wanted to stop him, Xi Zhicai spoke first.

    "How dare you choose a fighting general, Mr. Pan!"

    "Stay with me to the end!"

    Pan Feng nodded and answered almost without thinking.  Only then did Fazheng respond and shouted hurriedly.

    "No! The generals of our army were injured in this intrusion just now. Xi Zhicai, you took advantage of the situation and won the victory without using force!!"

    As soon as Fazheng said these words, Guan Yu's eyes narrowed, filled with murderous intent.  Xi Zhicai cast a dark look to stop him, then smiled and replied to Fa Zheng.

    "Both armies are trying to break into the formation. Your general is injured because of his lack of ability, so how can he rely on others? Could it be that you and other Shu people are cowardless people who are afraid of war and shrink back!?"

    "Why don't you dare to speak arrogantly!! Just fight!!"

    Pan Feng shouted sternly and responded again without waiting for Fazheng to reply.  Xi Zhicai was elated after hearing this.  Unexpectedly, Guan Yu suddenly rode forward, raised his hand and said coldly.

    "If we are fighting, we must be fair. Pan Wushuang, you were injured in the previous battle, and now you and your soldiers have suffered new injuries. Guan does not bother to take advantage of you. How about fighting soldiers first, and then becoming generals?"

    As soon as Guan Yu said this, Pan Feng's face couldn't help but change.  The two pairs of phoenix eyes looked at each other, but they both valued heroes and recognized heroes.  What kind of person Guan Yu was, Pan Feng would not dare to underestimate the enemy even in his prime.  At that moment, Pan Feng also nodded and replied.

    "I have always heard about Guan Gong's great virtues, and now I see it. It is so. I admire it deeply and follow what Guan Gong said."

    "How do you fight?"

    Guan Yu was unmoved by Pan Feng's praise and asked coldly.  At this time, Fa Zheng whispered a few words into Pan Feng's ear.  After Pan Feng heard this, he replied.

    "How about each of the two armies takes a thousand men and horses, regardless of military type, and no generals are needed, to fight in Japan?"

    After hearing this, Guan Yu nodded, reined in his horse and left.  When Xi Zhicai saw him, he sighed helplessly. Guan Yu was so arrogant, something would happen sooner or later.

    Guan Yu and Pan Feng discussed and made a decision, so the two armies each retreated.  The Tang army seemed to be defeated in this formation, but if you really think about it, the Tang army would naturally win.  After all, all the hundreds of cavalry led by Pan Feng were destroyed, and the three soldiers were all injured.  At that time, if the army was illegally sent to rescue in time and Guan Yu led his troops to cover up the killing, Pan Feng and the three generals would undoubtedly die.?But since the victory or defeat has been decided, there is no need to take it seriously.

    That night, all the troops in Guanzhong City went to rest.  Guan Yu was discussing with Xi Zhicai at the government office in the city.  At this time, Xi Zhicai no longer wanted to entangle Guan Yu with his decision on the battle.  After all, Guan Yu is the commander-in-chief of the army, and Xi Zhicai also understands Guan Yu's arrogance.  If there is a battle between soldiers, there is no doubt that Guan Yu will choose the Black Wind Cavalry to fight.  Pan Feng said that generals cannot be used, so Guan Yu naturally cannot command the army. The two are discussing the matter of selecting generals.

    "Hua Xiong and Pan Feng's fake son Pan Ping are both injured. Tomorrow, Pan Feng will definitely send Ma Dai to lead the army. This man has been fighting everywhere with his brother Ma Mengqi for seven or eight years. He is decisive and has high martial arts. Both  The white-eared elite soldiers of that army are not idle. If they are not led by a wise and brave general, I am afraid that the Black Wind Cavalry will not be their opponent."

    Hearing this, Guan Yu frowned. Since the formation of the Black Wind Cavalry, they have often defeated more with less and never lost. This is one of Guan Yu's assets that makes him stand out from the rest.  What's more, Guan Yu regards every Black Wind Cavalry soldier as his own flesh and blood.  Guan Yu could not tolerate the defeat of the Black Wind Cavalry, and he could not tolerate the loss of one of the Black Wind Cavalry!

    Guan Yu held his beautiful beard in his hands, his eyes as sharp as razor blades, and said in a concentrated voice.

    "Although E Huan is brave enough to be invincible, he has an impatient temperament. If I teach him to lead troops, I have a lot of concerns. But except for E Huan, there is no other officer in the army who can match Ma Bozhan. So.  What should the military advisor think?"

    Hearing this, Xi Zhicai suddenly smiled and said softly.

    "Guan Gong's words are wrong. Deng Shizai is good at martial arts, careful in thinking, cautious in actions, and knows how to use troops. If this person is sent to lead the troops, nothing will happen."

    "Deng Shizai!?"

    Guan Yu¡¯s thick eyebrows furrowed and he shook his head.

    "Although this boy is somewhat brave, he is still young and has little experience in combat. I am afraid he is not as experienced as Ma Bozhan."

    Xi Zhicai smiled brightly, as if he admired Deng Ai very much, and said in a deep voice.

    "Guan Gong doesn't need to worry too much. But I still remember that in the past, I called Deng Ai and E Huan to seize the Cangcheng Pass. Not long after they captured the pass, Ma Bozhan led his troops to attack. Later, although they retaliated, they were defeated.  It was not possible to defeat him with both hands. I knew that E Huan had a bad temper, so I asked the soldiers and found out that E Huan almost made a mistake, but Deng Ai had planned to repel Ma Dai. I expected that he would not be able to fight.  This is to prevent E Huan from getting angry with him and hurting the feelings between his colleagues, so he doesn't report the truth. "

    "Oh? Such a thing is possible!?"

    When Guan Yu heard this, his face changed slightly, he held his beautiful beard in his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.  Xi Zhicai smiled but said nothing.  Guan Yu pondered for a while and then spoke to Xi Zhicai.

    "In this case, as the military advisor said, I will teach Deng Ai how to command the army tomorrow morning. I have to take a closer look to see what kind of ability this boy has, so that he can be so valued by the military advisor."

    The night passed in the blink of an eye.  At the dawn of the next day, Deng Ai was suddenly ordered by General Guan Yu to go to the government office in the city to pay a visit.  On the way, he happened to meet E Huan.  When E Huan saw Deng Ai, his ugly face showed a strange look, and he blocked the way to greet him.  Deng Ai whispered a few words to the accompanying soldiers, then walked towards E Huan and bowed before him.  E Huan waved his hand and asked angrily.

    "Where are you going!?"

    It turns out that E Huan heard yesterday that the two armies were about to fight, and he also heard from Pan Feng that the generals of the two armies were not allowed to participate.  E Huan was secretly happy after hearing this, thinking that if Guan Yu did not lead the army, he would lead the world-shaking Black Wind Cavalry into battle.  So after E Huan returned to the city, he waited for Guan Yu to summon him.  Unexpectedly, he waited all night in vain, but Guan Yu didn't come to call him.  Unconsciously, at dawn, E Huan couldn't bear his temper, so he came over and asked for help.  Deng Ai looked at E Huan with bloodshot eyes, thinking that he must have had a sleepless night.  Deng Ai was a very thoughtful person, and after thinking about it, he guessed seven or eight.  Deng Ai didn't hide anything and replied in a solemn voice.

    "Reporting to the general, Guan Gong suddenly sent someone to summon him this morning, and he was about to go back to his mission."

    When E Huan heard this, his face suddenly changed, and his eyes had a somewhat complicated look, ranging from resentment to incredulity.  E Huan stretched his face, glared at Deng Ai, and asked again anxiously.

    "Really?"

    "How dare you hide it from me?"

    Deng Ai was calm and replied calmly.  E Huan rolled his eyes. What is the truth now? He has not yet analyzed it. He suppressed his anger in his heart and said to Deng Ai.

    "What a coincidence. I was about to go see the general and talk about the battle. You and I can go together!"

    After E Huan finished speaking, without waiting for Deng Ai to answer, he took long strides and walked towards the county government office.  Seeing this, Deng Ai shook his head helplessly, looked at each other with the accompanying soldiers, and then followed.  A group of people walked on the bluestone street. The shops on both sides of the street had opened, and many people had already left their homes.  Guanzhong City is a county town in Brazil and connects Jingzhou and Yongzhou.Although this place is not as prosperous as Chang'an, it has a strong Shu style.  The aroma of oil cakes and tea wafted from everywhere. As Deng Ai hurried on, he looked at the scenery everywhere, thinking in his heart that if this place was later included in the territory of the Tang State, it would definitely be more prosperous under the Tang State's unique business-friendly policies, and the people here would definitely be more prosperous.  You can also live and work in peace and contentment.

    Although the Western Tang Dynasty was founded not long ago, since Wenhan separatized Hedong and Bingzhou, the foundation of the Western Tang Dynasty was laid. Later, when Wenhan conquered Yongzhou and Liangzhou, Wenhan issued policies to encourage merchants from Hedong and Bingzhou to go there.  The development in the west, and at that time, the two places passed through farming, and there was already abundant food.  Wenhan had sufficient troops, and merchants from both places had no worries and went there one after another.  By the time the country is established, everything will fall into place.  The national power of the Western Tang Dynasty was so powerful that, except for Wei State, which had dominated the Central Plains for a long time, it was difficult for Wu and Shu to compare.  Therefore, Wen Han has always been as wise as the ancient emperor in Deng Ai's mind.  Deng Ai firmly believed that given time, Wen Han would be able to unify the country, end these years of chaos, and bring peace and prosperity to the land of China.

    Deng Ai was thinking about it and arrived at the government office unknowingly.  Guan Yu was waiting for Deng Ai, but he heard that E Huan had also come to visit him.  Guan Yu frowned and looked at Xi Zhicai.  Xi Zhicai frowned, shook his head and said.

    "It seems that this ugly tiger must have come to ask for a fight. If Guan Gong refuses, it will chill this man's heart."

    When Guan Yu heard this, he summoned E Huan and Deng Ai to come in together.  After a while, the two of them entered the palace.  After praying, E Huan was shocked, his eyes were bright, and he shouted sternly.

    "A certain person has been deeply favored by the king of Tang Dynasty, and he is willing to die in repayment. A certain person is willing to lead troops to fight with his army. If there is any negligence, he is willing to receive military orders!!"

    E Huan¡¯s voice was loud and loud, making the whole hall seem to shake.  Seeing E Huan's high fighting spirit, Guan Yu held his chin and beautiful beard, nodded slightly, and there was a hint of approval in Danfeng's eyes.  Guan Yu did not answer, and then looked at Deng Ai, only to see that Deng Ai was unmoved and did not come to fight for him.  Guan Yu thought that Deng Ai was afraid of fighting, so he couldn't help but have a look of displeasure on his red face. He snorted coldly and asked Deng Ai.

    "Deng Shizai, do you know why I summoned you to see you?"

    When Deng Ai heard this, he quickly knelt down and answered.

    "If Guan Gong has an order, just give it. I am willing to serve you with all my heart!"

    Hearing this, Guan Yu stared at Deng Ai coldly from above and suddenly asked.

    "I have always heard that you are a wise and brave general. Today I have an appointment with Pan Wushuang to fight, and I want to send you as a general to lead the army to fight against the enemy. But I see that you are not as brave as E Huan. I am really disappointed!"

    Hearing this, Deng Ai's expression condensed and he replied calmly.

    "General, calm down. I am a general. I should obey military orders in everything. If the general asks me to go and kill the enemy, I will bravely lead the army and never retreat. After the general cuts me off, I will defend it. I will fight to the death. I would rather behead my head."  There is no room for discretion. The general is the leader of the three armies, and I am the general. I only have to obey the military orders. If there is anything wrong, I can advise you and I cannot disobey the orders!  "

    "Hmph, you are so clever with your words and so handsome!"
