Chapter 472: Defeat Meng Huo for the Fourth Time and Meet Sun Ce

Yizhou, Yongchang County, border, an unknown military town, at this moment, two armies are fighting here, under the city wall, two people are fighting a great battle, one holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji, the other holding a Pangu Axe, the two are fighting heartily, weapons collide, sparks fly, waves of invisible and substantial fluctuations are spreading around with the two as the center.

Cao Cao and Liu Zhang sat high on their horses, squinting their eyes and watching Cao Zhang and Meng Huo fighting in the distance, they were all a little shocked in their hearts, because this was not the first time Cao Zhang and Meng Huo fought, before this, he had fought three battles with Meng Huo, each time ended with Cao Zhang's success, but each time failed to keep Meng Huo.

At the same time, what they don't understand the most is that Meng Huo is stronger each time, until now, he is almost on par with Cao Zhang.

The two fought more fiercely on the battlefield. Only the afterimage of Fang Tian Hua Ji was seen in the air, and the main body could not be seen at all. Meng Huo held his Pangu Axe and fought hard to resist. At the same time, he adjusted his posture to avoid being caught by Cao Zhang and knocking down Pangu Axe, otherwise it would be difficult for him to run away.

After a full-scale fight, the two separated briefly, took a breath, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and inhaled a breath of fresh air. Cao Cao raised Fang Tian Hua Ji and pointed at Meng Huo and said leisurely.

"Barbarian thief, I didn't expect that your strength has improved so fast."

"Hahaha, there are many things you didn't expect."

Meng Huo retreated instead of advancing, his body rotated in the air, and with the help of the rotation, he drove Pangu Axe to chop down fiercely. Cao Cao's pupils shrank, and his strength was exerted to the extreme. After the Tianyuan Jueming Halberd Technique evolved from Fang Tian Hua Ji, it became more fierce. When the halberd was drawn, it seemed that the world was dimmed.

The two men's full-strength attacks collided in the air, and a white aura that had condensed into substance burst out violently, shaking the surrounding tiger and leopard cavalry to the point that they could not stand steadily. They could only use their spears to support themselves to avoid being knocked to the ground by the fierce aura.

When the aura dissipated, the two men in the center of the battlefield had separated. Where Cao Zhang stood, the ground collapsed several inches, and there were cracks all around. Cao Zhang was still standing there with his Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand. Looking at the attacking Meng Huo, he had been repelled more than ten feet away by Cao Zhang at this moment. He knelt on one knee and supported his body with Pangu Axe, so he did not fall down.

After the two men fought with all their strength, the winner was immediately determined.

But Cao Zhang had no spare energy to chase and kill. After all, he did not have the characteristic of slowing down physical consumption, nor did he have the abnormal attribute of ignoring physical consumption like Zhang Fei. Cao Zhang, who was already exhausted, could only watch the other side's city gate open, and several first-class generals rushed out, carrying Meng Huo on horseback and leaving.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry on the periphery did not dare to act rashly, because they wanted to take advantage of this time and rely on the advantages of the cavalry's fast speed and high mobility to rush directly into the city, but they were forced back by the row of archers wearing feathers on the city wall. After several charges, they lost hundreds of people.

You know, they broke through the entire Xiongnu royal court, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry lost only more than a thousand people. Now they lost hundreds of people after several sieges. This loss made Cao Cao no longer order sieges.

Cavalry is indeed powerful and is the trump card among soldiers, but it is not suitable for use in this kind of offensive and defensive battle.

Watching Meng Huo withdraw, Cao Zhang, who was in the original place, gradually recovered some strength. He hooked his finger at Meng Huo, who had not yet closed the city gate and could still see him, full of provocation.

Although Meng Huo wanted to fight again, he was powerless. With the closing of the city gate, Cao Zhang and Meng Huo were completely separated.

Cao Zhang did not use anyone to help, but got on the warhorse and came to Cao Cao's side?

"Father, I am useless and cannot defeat Meng Huo."

"Ziwen, there is no need to do this. We just need to wait until there is no food in the city and they start to riot. By then, this small city will naturally fall without a fight. Now I let you fight Meng Huo, just to let you experience more, so that you will not be without countermeasures when you meet Liu Bei's group on the battlefield in the future."

"Yes, father, I will remember it."

Cao Zhang clasped his fists and saluted, and Cao Cao waved his hand.

"From now on, all matters here will be left to you. I have to go back to Xudu. Some things need to be put on the agenda early."

"Father, are you ready?"

"Yes, it is better to do it sooner rather than later. Since the energy is full, it is natural to show your strength."

Cao Zhang did not respond, but clasped his fists and saluted Cao Cao again. Before Cao Cao left, he took another look at the military town in the distance.

"As for Meng Huo, if you can subdue him, then subdue him. If he really refuses to obey, just kill him."

"I understand, father."

"Ji Yu, don't just sit there and watch the show. Call all the generals under your command who can still be used. When they can't hold on in the city, we will defeat them in one fell swoop. We don't have much time left."

Cao Cao didn't even look at Liu Zhang, but just gave a cold instruction. Liu Zhang was a little confused.

"What do you mean by little time? Isn't it that Meng Huo's time is running out?"

Liu Zhang's words attracted Cao Cao's extremely disgusted look.

"Is this little Meng Huo the only enemy in your eyes?"

Cao Cao's words seemed to wake up the dreamer, and Liu Zhang suddenly realized.

"Are you talking about Liu Bei? Is there going to be a move soon?"

Cao Cao nodded slightly, looking northwest at the same time.

"Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Zhang He have begun to return from the Xianbei Royal Court. They must be about to enter Youzhou by now."

"Xianbei? Liu Bei went to fight Xianbei?"

Liu Zhang was a little confused. He had some understanding of the royal courts established by the three nomadic tribes in the north. He knew that Xianbei's strength was much more than what was shown on the surface. He also knew that the Xiongnu and Wuhuan, the most noisy and joyful people, had a high probability of It was nothing more than a shield for Xianbei.

Liu Zhang has recognized Cao Cao as his master, and Cao Cao no longer hides some things from Liu Zhang and continues.

"We are not going to fight Xianbei, but we have already destroyed the Xianbei royal court. Several major tribes in Xianbei, such as the Tuoba tribe, the Qifu tribe, the Tufa tribe, the Budu tribe, etc., have all been destroyed. Liu Bei's men were destroyed. After this battle, the nomadic forces in the north will be paralyzed for more than a hundred years."

Cao Cao's eyes were cold. He originally wanted to attack the Xianbei Royal Court, but for various reasons, he finally chose the Xiongnu Royal Court, because the Xianbei Royal Court was not only farther away, but also stronger. As mentioned just now There are famous generals in each of those movies.

According to his intelligence, there were no fewer than five famous generals in the Xianbei Royal Court, and even more first-class generals.

This is not to say that Cao Cao did not have the strength to defeat Xianbei, but that Cao Cao did not have the strength to send responders to capture Xianbei while guarding against Guan Yu. At the same time, he had to be constantly on guard against Liu Bei's attacks. For various reasons, he had no way to attack Xianbei and could only attack the Xiongnu nearby.

The last time, he sent Cao Ren, Xu Chu, and Xiahou Dun to hunt down Huang Zhong and Ma Chao, and almost killed the two of them. This was another blood feud. If Liu Bei waited until Liu Bei was ready and took the lead in attacking, then He will face an extremely dangerous situation.

Cao Cao told Cao Zhang and the others that he would return to Xudu, but he actually wanted to go from Yizhou, detour to Wuling County in Jingzhou, and cross Jingzhou to find Sun Jian. If Sun Jian also had a legendary general under his command, then Cao Cao would not mind settling the old feud with Sun Jian. Join forces again. If not, Cao Cao will use a trick to divert trouble to the east, allowing Sun Jian to fight Liu Bei first, and he will reap the benefits.

In this way, Cao Cao was protected by Dian Wei. The two of them disguised themselves. After leaving Yongchang County, they took a direct detour to the east, passed through Zangqi County, and began to head toward the majestic mountains that bisected Zangqi County. Heading towards Jingzhou.

And just as Cao Cao said, at this moment at the border of Youzhou, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and Zhang He, with their subordinates suffering almost negligible losses, have begun to enter the territory of Youzhou.

All four of them had smiles on their faces, chatting and laughing all the way as they headed straight towards Linzi, Qingzhou.

Two days later, in Wuling County, Jingzhou, in an empty wilderness, the three people met here. The atmosphere between them was tense, and they might take action at any time, until one of them revealed his identity, and the two of them... A super war was avoided for a while.

"Hero, I am the current Prime Minister of the imperial court, Cao Cao! May I ask your name, my hero? Who is his subordinate?"

Cao Cao's eyes were fixed, and he looked carefully at the hooded general in front of him. He was holding a weapon wrapped in a strip of cloth. He could only vaguely see that it was a gun, but nothing else could be seen. But Cao Cao But from that person, he felt an aura that he had only felt from Dian Wei, which made him tremble with excitement.

"Of course I know it's Prime Minister Cao, but I don't know what Prime Minister Cao is sneaking through Jingzhou with General Dian for?"

"Oh? It seems that you know me? Can you show your true face so that I can see who I am?"

Cao Cao was a little surprised, but he already had a guess in his mind. The other person still had no intention of revealing his true colors and continued.

"Only if I know whether the Prime Minister is an enemy or a friend, can I dare to show my true face. Otherwise, if General Dian next to the Prime Minister takes action, I won't be able to handle it."

Seeing that the other party had no intention of continuing the conversation, Cao Cao also lost interest.

"Since you don't want to talk, let's just say goodbye."

Facing a legendary general who appeared out of nowhere, and who was most likely under Sun Jian, Cao Cao was naturally unwilling to start a conflict at this time. If it could be confirmed that there was a legendary general under Sun Jian, then Cao Cao could be sure that he would What attitude should I take to deal with Sun Jian?

"Prime Minister Cao probably wants to go to Yangzhou, right?"

Hearing the other party ask this question, Cao Cao became more certain that the other party must be Sun Jian's subordinate, but he just couldn't tell who it was.

"Yes, I am going to Yangzhou to discuss important matters with your lord."

Cao Cao didn't talk nonsense and directly stated his purpose. After hearing this, the man was obviously stunned, and then he spoke leisurely.

"Why, Prime Minister Cao is so sure that I belong to Yangzhou?"

"If not, you probably wouldn't have been talking nonsense here for so long."

After hearing this, the man on the other side took off the hood that was covering his face. Cao Cao and Dian Wei also saw clearly who this newly promoted legendary general was. When they saw that it was Sun Ce, their faces revealed He was surprised. Before this, Cao Cao thought it was Zhou Yu or Gan Ning, but he never thought it was Sun Ce.

Because the last time they cooperated, Sun Ce was not even a famous general, but now he has become a legendary general in the blink of an eye? This span is really a bit exaggerated.

"Since it belongs to my late father, let us come. It just so happens that my father also has something to discuss with Prime Minister Cao."

In this way, the original group of two people became a group of three people. At this moment, Cao Cao can be said to be the safest time. With two legendary generals by his side, who in the world can defeat him?

A group of three people went straight through Wuling County, and then, under the leadership of Sun Ce, passed through Cangwu County and entered Jiaozhou, and then went to Longbian County City in Jiaozhi County.

Both of them were legendary generals and were incredibly fast. If they weren't taking care of Cao Cao, they would have reached Jiaozhi County long ago with their speed.

When Sun Jian saw Sun Ce leaving and returning, with Cao Cao and Dian Wei following him, Sun Jian knew that the battle for the general situation of the world was not far away.

Even Dian Wei and Sun Ce were not qualified to attend this meeting. There were only two people in the room, Cao Cao and Sun Jian. A few days ago, it was here that Sun Jian and Shi Xie completed their negotiation. negotiation.

Half a month ago, Cao Cao had just completed negotiations with Liu Zhang.

Now, the two have their first meeting.

It can be said that in this period of time, there have been more talks that can change the situation than there have been wars that have changed the situation. Before this trend, no one is willing to waste their own troops anymore. They all want to use their respective The strongest stance determines the final outcome.

Inside the room, Cao Cao and Sun Jian were sitting opposite each other. Outside the room, the two legendary generals Dian Wei and Sun Ce were responsible for guarding. This kind of treatment had never been given before, and I'm afraid it will rarely be seen in the future.

"Brother Wentai, in order to express my sincerity, let me tell you some bad news first."

Cao Cao smiled and raised his glass. This is a negotiation method he learned from Liu Zhang. A glass of wine and a word will speed up the pace of negotiations. In this way, there will be a big difference between those who plan in advance and those who do not. differences, thereby obtaining more favorable conditions.

At that time, he was tricked by Liu Zhang in this way, so that some of the conditions proposed at that time were not the best, but they were not bad.

Sun Jian also raised his glass, drank it all in one gulp, and then stretched out his hand to Cao Cao, gesturing for Cao Cao to continue speaking.

"Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and Zhang He destroyed the Xianbei Royal Court and killed at least five famous generals from the Xianbei Royal Court. Huang Zhong and Ma Chao destroyed the Wuhuan Royal Court. My subordinates intercepted and killed them. Without success, it is certain that two of them have been promoted to famous generals, and the other four are unknown at the moment.”

As soon as Cao Cao arrived, he unleashed a Jingtian King Explosion.
