Among the next generation of the Cao family, Cao Zhang can be said to be the best when it comes to martial arts. As he grows older, his skills become stronger and stronger.
There really aren't many people to fight against right now.
Ah Fei is one of these few people.
Two young generals clashed with each other, their horses crossed, their spears and halberds raised, and they fought for dozens of rounds, with neither victory nor defeat.
But as time goes by, Ah Fei has gradually begun to gain the upper hand. After all, he is young and strong, and has already achieved martial arts. However, Cao Zhang is still in adolescence and is still growing in body. Facing Ah Fei, he is still somewhat powerless.
But even so, Cao Zhang refused to retreat and fought against A Fei to the death.
Ah Fei couldn't help but be moved by this brute strength and bravery.
As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer Cao Jun in the city, the Jinling Army occupies more and more important locations, and the number of personal guards around Cao Zhang is also getting smaller and smaller. Although he is still fighting with A Fei,
The current situation gradually changed, with the Jinling Army gradually surrounding the two of them.
If this continues, Cao Zhang will defeat A Fei, but in the end he will be captured alive by the Jinling Army.
The situation was already so dangerous. If it were anyone else, he might not have the energy to fight A Fei, but Cao Zhang's personality did not follow that of Cao Cao. He was completely stubborn in this regard. He fought with A Fei desperately,
In his opinion, being able to defeat Ah Fei is the only important thing right now, and other things are completely irrelevant and not in his mind.
Huang Zhong watched from the side and saw that Cao Zhang was focusing on Ah Fei wholeheartedly. He couldn't help but sigh. He sighed and said: "This kid is quite stubborn. Can't he see that he is surrounded? He kept on saying.
What's going on with Fei'er?"
Although the two of them were fighting, the situation around them was still visible to them.
Ah Fei couldn't help but feel strange when he saw that his own soldiers had surrounded the two of them, but Cao Zhang seemed not to be watching, and just kept fighting with him.
While fighting Cao Zhang, he asked doubtfully: "Thief general! It's already this time, why are you still competing with me? Didn't you see that we are surrounded by Jinling generals? You just defeated me,
What’s the use?”
Cao Zhang stared at A Fei with his eyes motionless and said: "I'll beat you first, and we'll talk about other things later!"
Ah Fei chuckled and said: "He is quite a straight man. It is not easy for him to focus on fighting me without worrying about the things around him. But it is a bit funny... Such a boy can actually be Cao Cao's son?"
"Don't call my father by his first name!"
After saying that, he saw the painted halberd in his hand rushing towards A Fei's face to say hello.
Ah Fei helplessly used the spear in his hand to block left and right, and swept Fang Tian's painted halberd in both directions.
At this moment, Huang Zhong suddenly rode up on his horse, raised his sword high, and swept through thousands of troops with one strike, directly cutting off the legs of Cao Zhang's horse and knocking him off the horse.
Cao Zhang's attention was focused on A Fei. The situation suddenly changed. He immediately panicked. In desperation, he was knocked to the ground.
Cao Zhang just wanted to get up, but Huang Zhong swung his knife and pressed the tip of the knife directly to his cheek, preventing him from moving.
Cao Zhang lay on the ground, staring at Huang Zhong angrily.
"Sneak attack from the side! What the hell? You're so old!"
Facing Cao Zhang's questioning, Huang Zhong showed no expression. He just winked at the soldiers behind him and said, "Press him down!"
The Jinling soldiers on the side rushed up and tied Cao Zhang up with ropes.
Cao Zhang cursed hard and harshly, causing everyone around him to turn their heads to look.
Huang Zhong was content with himself and showed no signs of discomfort.
Ah Fei came up behind Huang Zhong on horseback and whispered: "Father, are you losing face by doing this? All the soldiers of the three armies are watching here."
Huang Zhong shook his head and said: "Although I have lost some face, time is urgent now. Controlling Chang'an City is the most important task. You and him competing here in martial arts will waste too much time. As a general, you should
Put the overall situation first and don’t act willfully.”
Ah Fei thought carefully for a long time, then raised his hand to Huang Zhong and said: "What the foster father taught me is that the child knows that he is wrong."
…
Cao's troops in Chang'an City retreated one after another. Chang'an City was captured in an instant, and the pottery merchants completely occupied Chang'an City.
Chang'an is the top priority in Guanzhong. Once Chang'an is obtained, the land of Guanzhong will no longer be a problem for the Jinling Army.
Tao Shang led his troops into Chang'an City. Along the way, various generals reported the situation in the city to Tao Shang. After hearing this, Tao Shang was very happy. He nodded to the generals with a smile and offered words of comfort.
The pottery merchant was even happier until Cao Zhang was brought to him by A Fei and Huang Zhong.
This is truly an unexpected gift.
"Hello, Third Young Master Cao." Tao Shang nodded to him with a smile.
Cao Zhang glared at the potter fiercely, turned around and snorted, but said nothing.
"Your elder brother is currently a guest at my place, and now Mr. Cao is also here. If I invite your elder brother and your father later, will the four of you be able to have a table of mahjong at my place?"
Cao Zhang snorted: "Tao Thief, don't be so arrogant! Cao will make you pay the price sooner or later."
Tao Shang ignored Cao Zhang's harsh words, but turned to look at Pei Qian behind him, and ordered: "Send someone to invite the Second Young Master Cao."
Cao Pi also followed Tao Shang Qian to Guanzhong with the army, but he has been serving as Tao Shang's guest minister, and he usually has nothing to do in the military camp.
Not long after, Cao Pi came to the pottery merchant under the guidance of Pei Qian.
Cao Pi respectfully bowed his hands to the pottery merchant and said, "I have met the Prime Minister."
Tao Shang pointed at Cao Zhang and said: "Second Master Cao, since you came to my place, Tao has not arranged any errands for you. Now that you think about it, you shouldn't. Now that Tao has captured a prisoner, he wants to invite Cao
The second young master is taking care of it on your behalf, I wonder what the second young master wants?"
Cao Pi raised his head and looked at those people with a smile, feeling an indescribable embarrassment in his heart.
Cao Zhang had a fierce expression on his face, and he yelled at Cao Pi: "You shameless rebel! Do you still have the nerve to appear in front of me?"
Cao Pi lowered his head and said nothing.
In this situation, he was indeed a little embarrassed to face Cao Zhang.
When I was young, I saw Cao Pi cupping his hands towards the pottery merchant and saying, "Prime Minister, can you... not let me do this?"
Cao Zhang laughed loudly: "Cao Pi, you also know the word shame."
The pottery merchant whispered: "What if I insist on doing this."
Cao Pi glanced at Cao Zhang in embarrassment, and finally sighed helplessly, saying: "In that case, I will just take the order."
