The rapid sound of gold ringing came from Cao Jun's formation.
Li Yan immediately turned his horse and retreated. However, he did not just retreat. Instead, he glanced at Liu Hu with a look of disdain, as if to say, at this level, how dare he go into battle? Liu Hu was criticized by Li Yan
With a look of disdain, he flew into a rage and immediately chased after him on horseback.
But at this time, Cao Peng suddenly jumped out of the formation and was in front of Liu Hu in the blink of an eye.
The painting pole halberd roared down with a sharp wind. Liu Hu quickly raised his gun to meet it, only to hear a loud clang. The huge force carried by the painting pole halberd really made Liu Hu feel confused.
His ears were ringing. The war horse under his crotch was thumping back. Liu Hu quickly reined in his horse, looked wary, and stared at Cao Peng.
Cao Peng pointed his halberd at Liu Hu from afar, with a sneer on his lips.
"You are not my opponent, let's find someone else."
That kind of arrogant tone would be intolerable to anyone.
Liu Hu was so angry that he wanted to rush forward and fight Cao Peng, but he saw that Cao Peng had already retreated to the flag gate. The archers fired thousands of arrows, forcing Liu Hu back. Cao Jun then withdrew his troops and returned to Dazhai. Liu Hu
Then he returned to the Jingzhou camp full of anger.
He wanted to have a head-to-head contest with Cao Jun.
However, Cao Peng was unwilling to give him a chance...
You are not my opponent, change someone else! Listen, how arrogant are these words? Not to mention Liu Hu, but any man with a little bit of blood will probably not be able to stand it. After Liu Hu returned to the camp, in the big tent
Zhong was furious and kicked the tables and chairs over one after another.
Someone else?
Who to replace!
Liu Hu naturally thought of Huang Zhong.
However, he was a little confused, why did Cao Peng want Huang Zhong to fight? Was he so sure that he could defeat Huang Hansheng?
Huang Zhong was not Liu Hu's person, so Liu Hu was naturally wary of Huang Zhong.
If before today, he was still somewhat grateful to Huang Zhong, then after being humiliated by Cao Peng today, Liu Hu felt more inexplicable suspicion of Huang Zhong. He always felt that there was something between Cao Peng and Huang Zhong.
What's the problem... But he also knew that Huang Zhong had been guarding Changsha all these years, and there was no way he could be related to Cao Peng. Besides, Huang Zhong was Liu Pan's man, so even if Liu Hu was suspicious of Huang Zhong,
He also had to consider Liu Pan's face. After calming down, Liu Hu couldn't help but frown.
Otherwise, try it out tomorrow?
"Come here, please invite General Huang to come and discuss matters."
Having made a decision in his heart, Liu Hu immediately ordered someone to summon Huang Zhong.
The matter discussed was actually very simple. He hoped that Huang Zhong could go to war and save face. The Jingzhou Army was newly defeated and needed a victory to boost morale. There is no doubt that on the battlefield, no one in the Jingzhou Army could do it.
He is more suitable than Huang Zhong. Even though this old pawn is over fifty, he must be the first to board every battle. He is definitely a strong soldier... It is a pity that Huang Zhong is not Liu Hu's man. Otherwise, he can do whatever he wants.
He needs to be reused. Liu Hu hopes that Huang Zhong will go out to fight tomorrow and win a big victory and improve his morale.
At the same time, this was also a test for Huang Zhong.
If Huang Zhong is in trouble or refuses, it means there must be something wrong with him.
However, Huang Zhong agreed very happily, which made Liu Hu feel very uncomfortable. In fact, he really didn't want Huang Zhong to fight, but he had no other choice. Cao Peng was by no means a match for him, and even
Li Yan, who was fighting against Liu Hu today, was not an easy leader to deal with either. Judging from the advance and retreat of Cao's army today, it can be seen that these two men are both masters who are good at using soldiers. Their military discipline is strong and well organized.
Without Huang Zhong, Liu Hu really wasn't too confident.
"In this case, I will work hard tomorrow, old general."
"If you are loyal to your duty, how can you say it's hard work?"
Huang Zhong handed over his hand and then exited the Chinese army's tent.
Liu Hu was left alone, sitting there blankly, thinking wildly...

Early on the next morning, Huang Zhong wore his helmet and armor and was neatly dressed.
He led his eight hundred swordsmen from the Jingzhou Army Camp and went straight to the Cao Army Camp.
"Jingzhou Zhonglang General Huang Zhong is here, why doesn't Cao Cao, the traitor, come out and die?"
Huang Zhong was outside Cao Jun's camp, circling and calling for formation. After a while, he heard the rumble of war drums coming from Cao Jun's camp.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a group of people coming from Cao's camp.
However, when Huang Zhong saw the other party's dress clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Cao Peng was dressed in casual clothes, wearing a moon-white cicada suit, a silk scarf on his head, holding a folding fan, and came to the front of the formation with a spring breeze on his face and a smile on his face.
"Old General Huang, are you okay?"
"ah……"
Huang Zhong was confused!
He couldn't figure out which song Cao Peng was singing. Looking at his clothes, he looked like a young man going out to fight. He didn't wear armor or hold weapons. He didn't even bring a sword.
He only had a folding fan on his body and in his hand.
As the saying goes, don't hit anyone with a smiling face.
Although Huang Zhong had a hostile relationship with Cao Peng, it did not mean that he was an unsophisticated person.
It was obvious that they were not here to fight with him, so he couldn't just rush over with the knife in hand without saying anything... So, Huang Zhong had to force a smile, put away the knife and let go, "Mr. Cao, what do you mean?"
"Oh, my friend lived in Nanyang when he was young, and it sounds like he is also from the same hometown as the old general.
Back then, I often heard people mention the name of the old general, saying that when millions of yellow turbans besieged the city, the old general entered an uninhabited country among millions of enemy troops, killed the general and captured the flag, and became famous. Unfortunately, Peng was just born at that time.
I can't fight side by side with the old general. But in my heart, I have a special admiration for the old general. It is a blessing to be able to see the old general today and express my feelings...
A great day is really not suitable for such unscrupulous things as fighting and killing, so when I learned that the old general had arrived, Punt came to pay a visit to the hero of the past."
Huang Zhong's expression suddenly softened.
Everyone likes to hear nice words, not to mention people like Cao Peng who praised him greatly.
If Cao Peng was an unknown person, Huang Zhong might not feel much about it; but the problem is that Cao Peng was the imperial governor of Nanyang, and he was the famous Cao Sanpian. He had a status that cannot be ignored among the scholars.
.Such a person has greater destructive power when he speaks words of praise. Huang Zhong looked at Cao Peng, and his eyes softened a little... But then he thought about it, Cao Peng was his enemy. He must not do it because of him
In just a few words, my belief was shaken. I won’t kill you today, but I will take your head tomorrow!
"Mr. Cao, people of the bright side don't do secret things.
Today, the young master pays tribute to Huang Zhong, an old soldier, and Zhongyi is extremely grateful. However, the young master helps the emperor to do harm and violates our boundaries, and he is Huang Zhong's mortal enemy. Tomorrow, Huang Zhong will come again to challenge the battle. When the time comes, he must see the young master. At that time, the young master
But don’t blame me for being ruthless with the sword.”
Cao Peng couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"My friend also has this idea."
"Then, let's see you tomorrow."
Cao Peng smiled slightly on his horse, then turned his horse and walked back.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly reined in his horse and turned around, hugging Huang Zhong with a fist and saying, "Old general, please take care of yourself."
"Young master, please take care of yourself."
When Huang Zhong saw Cao Peng retreating to the camp, he simply led his troops back as well.
But as soon as he entered the camp, Liu Hu's face was as heavy as water.
Before Huang Zhong could speak, Liu Hu suddenly shouted sharply: "Come here, take down this shameless old pawn who is asking for honor behind his back."
The swordsmen and axemen rushed forward and held Huang Zhong down.
Huang Zhong was shocked and said quickly: "Master Tiger, why are you doing this?"
"I have known for a long time that you, the old man, have colluded with the Cao family thief... Today I ordered you to go out to fight, but you and the Cao family thief were flirting and talking happily.
If it weren’t for colluding with the little thief, how would peace be like this?”
"Young Master Tiger, you are wronged!"
Huang Zhong shouted: "Cao Youxue and I only met each other for the second time, but he lived in Nanyang when he was young and had heard the name of the last general. Therefore, when I challenged him to fight, he came out with nothing, and the last general could not
Killing an unarmed man. That’s why I didn’t take action. Please tell me, sir.”
Liu Hu sneered solemnly, "Old man, are you deceiving me for being ignorant?"
"Really, what the last general said is absolutely not false. If Mr. Hu doesn't believe it, Zhong will go to battle tomorrow and will behead Cao Peng. You can supervise the battle. If Huang Zhong can't get Cao Peng's head, Mr. Tiger will
If you kill me again, Huang Zhong will not complain at all..."
Liu Hu couldn't help but hesitate.
Huang Zhong didn't seem to be lying. Could it be that today was really just a coincidence?
If I kill Huang Zhong at this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to convince the generals in the army. Since he said that he will take Cao Peng's head tomorrow, I will give him another chance. If I kill Cao Peng, I will give him back.
Innocent; if you can't kill Cao Peng, you can still be convincing by killing him again.
Thinking of this, Liu Hu said sharply: "Okay, then I will believe you for once today.
Come, watch him. If you can really kill Cao Peng tomorrow, I, Liu Hu, promise to apologize to you, report to Liu Jingzhou, and promise you a future. But if you can't kill Cao Peng,
Then don't blame me, Liu Hu, for being ruthless. It's you who said it, and the opportunity has been given to you. You can seize it yourself."
After that, he threw up his sleeves and returned to the Chinese army's tent.
Huang Zhong, on the other hand, smiled helplessly and walked into another tent under the supervision of the swordsman.
At this moment, he had generally come to his senses.
What Cao Peng did today definitely had ulterior motives... It's a pity that I am still complacent, but I don't want to fall into the trap of a child like you.
In this case, I will definitely not show mercy tomorrow!

Nothing happened that night. Huang Zhong got up early the next day. After breakfast, he dressed neatly, picked up his knife and mounted his horse.
Liu Hu led a large army to accompany him to the battle. It was said that he wanted to cheer Huang Zhong by beating drums, but rather to monitor Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong, holding a sword and urging his horse, came to the outside of Cao's army's camp and shouted for battle.
However, the gate of Cao Jun's camp was closed and there was no response from inside.
Huang Zhong stood at the gate of Cao's camp and hesitated for a long time. Seeing that there was no movement inside, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
At this time, he suddenly saw the gate of Cao's camp open. Li Yan, alone, rode his horse out of the camp. After taking a few steps forward, he reined in his horse.
He stood on the horse and saluted Huang Zhong with his hands raised.
"Old General, my young master said, please don't break your promise, Old General. He will wait and see."
After that, before Huang Zhong could react, Li Yan turned his horse's head and returned to the camp. Huang Zhong was left there, looking stunned.
It took him a long while to finally react.
This Cao Peng is clearly trying to frame me!
A burst of anger suddenly arose in his heart, and Huang Zhong became furious and shouted sternly: "You little thief, how can you bully me like this..."
After saying that, Huang Zhong urged the Malun Dao and rushed towards Cao Ying!
