What is Cao Zhang’s situation?

It was not better than Cao Peng expected, nor did it happen as Cao Peng imagined.

Because Liu Chuang had no time to pay attention to Cao Zhang, after the war that night, he received news that Gao Shun commanded 10,000 troops and arrived on the north bank of the Yellow River.

At the same time, with the emergence of Sima Fu, the situation in Hanoi gradually stabilized.

The resistance of the three counties of Shanyang, Huojia and Xiuwu weakened accordingly. I believe that it will not take long before the three counties surrender to Liu Chuang. The soldiers of the three counties are, to put it bluntly, the private soldiers of the three counties. They hope to get some benefits from Liu Chuang, so they fought hard to resist.

Now, Liu Chuang's focus has shifted from Hanoi to Hulao, and the three counties continue to struggle, so there is no practical significance. The most important thing is that Sima Fu may not be famous, but the reputation of the Sima family's children is also of great significance to the gentry of the Hanoi.

With Sima Fu coming forward, there are only some minor details left, and Liu Chuang doesn't need to come out at all...

Gaoshun's pressure is reduced accordingly.

After Sima Fu arrived in Huai County, he immediately raised his troops and headed straight for Hulao Pass.

At the same time, the prefect of Yanmen, Guo Xiang, also drew troops from Yanmen and quickly moved closer toward Hanoi. Liu Chuang wanted to welcome Gao Shun, so he didn't care about Cao Zhang's affairs for the time being. In fact, even if he saw Cao Zhang now, he didn't know what to say.

Could it be that I told Cao Zhang that he would be in line with him and that he would be in opposition to Cao's operations?

I guess if he dares to say this, Cao Zhang will immediately turn against Liu Chuang. Although Cao Zhang is young, he is a very intentional person. Liu Chuang never thought about surrendering Cao Zhang, so he asked him to calm down first and then make plans. Anyway, he would not really make things difficult for Cao Zhang.

Gao Shun stayed in Pinggao for one day and visited Cao Xing.

Previously, Cao Xing attacked Cao Zhang at the Dahe Ferry and was seriously injured.

Fortunately, the rescue was timely, and Cao Xing had no worries about his life. After the rescue of the military doctor, he quickly woke up...

"But Shulong felt embarrassed to face his lord, and he was actually trapped in the hands of a bunch of children. Haha, when I saw him in Pinggao, he was very ashamed."

After Gao Shun met Liu Chuang at the ferry entrance, he smiled and talked about Cao Xing.

In fact, Liu Chuang could hear that Gao Shun was actually exploring his own words... He was worried that Cao Xing's defeat this time would affect his position in Liu Chuang's future. Speaking of which, Cao Xing has been smooth sailing in northern Xinjiang in recent years, and has gained the upper hand several times of confrontation with the Xianbei people. This time he returned to the Central Plains, Cao Xing was ambitious and wanted to build a career. However, he was beaten by Cao Zhang and other kids and left in a mess. In the end, he almost lost his life at the Yellow River Ferry.

If you change someone, you may not be worried.

Liu Chuang laughed. "Shulong was thinking too much. It is said that victory or defeat is common for military strategists. Who can truly win every battle? This time he was just careless and caught the ambush of Cao's army. If he really fought face to face, I am afraid that Cao's army might not be able to get a advantage in his hands.

I have a lot of business recently and have no time to visit.

Xiaogong turned around and sent someone to tell Shulong, saying that I would return to the battlefield after he recovered from his injury. Now that we are competing for the Central Plains, there must be a series of wars. I also hope that he will get better soon and not think about it anymore."

Speaking of which, Liu Chuang and Gao Shun Cao's relationship is also very close.

When he first arrived in Liaodong, Gao Shun and Cao Xing and other former generals of Lu Bu did help Liu Chuang a lot.

Without these people, it would not be easy for Liu Chuang to quickly gain a foothold in Liaodong. Now, Liu Chuang has risen in Hebei, with many powerful generals and many counselors, but his feelings for old men like Gao Shun have not changed at all.

If you are rich and noble, don’t forget each other!

These six words seem easy to say, but it doesn't seem easy to do it.

Of course, Liu Chuang could not underestimate Cao Xing because of several failures... To be honest, Cao Xing's previous sneak attack was due to Cao Xing's carelessness. Otherwise, Cao Zhang and the others might not be able to get a advantage. In terms of force, Liu Chuang's ten generals are brave and good at fighting, and there are also powerful generals like Ma Chao. But if we talk about marching and fighting, the talents of Gao Shun and Cao Xing may not be inferior to those of the top ten generals.

The reason why Liu Chuang found Gao Shun and Cao Xing from Northern Xinjiang and Shangdang this time was because he wanted to use their experience.

Gao Shun was relieved when he heard Liu Chuang's words.

"Shulong also felt guilty. Now he can't wait to recover and share his worries for the lord."

The two stayed in the Han army camp at the Ferry that night.

Gao Shun asked about the battle situation in Hulao, and the smile on Liu Chuang's face disappeared immediately.

"In today's battle, Cao's army was indeed at a disadvantage.

However, his strength is still there, Xun Yu will definitely continue to send more troops to Hulao. Cao Cao has already begun to withdraw from Qinghe and thinks he will return to Xudu soon. If he cannot break through Hulao before Cao Cao returns, he will be afraid that he will return without success... Fortunately, the situation in Xiliang has been reversed. Zhang Lu retreated to Hanzhong, and Yuanzhi would have no worries. As long as the battle in Guanzhong is fought, our pressure will inevitably be weaker... Xiaogong, the battle in Hulao will inevitably be extremely tragic, and I will rely more on Xiaogong to share my worries."

Gao Shun laughed immediately when he heard this.

"Lord, just rest assured, I will help you."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, Liu Chuang and Gao Shun led their troops to return to the outside of Hulao Pass.

The walls of Hulao Pass were strong and thick. The Cao army on the pass was ready to fight and had already set off on his stance to defend the enemy.

Liu Chuang was not afraid that Cao Peng would face him head-on, but he was extremely troubled by the Cao army's attitude of strictly guarding and defending. In this way, the battle in Hulao would inevitably turn into a tragic offensive and defensive battle. Even if Liu Chuang was prepared in his heart, he was a little worried.

After this battle, God knew how many soldiers would be killed or injured...

If possible, Liu Chuang really didn't want to fight Cao Jun like this.

After all, the Han people killed each other. In history, why did the Five Barbarians invade China appear? There may be many reasons, but the most critical point is that the Han people's population dropped sharply after a hundred years of war, and their vitality was greatly damaged.

However, if we want to avoid the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, this war is inevitable.

Liu Chuang took Fa Zheng and Gao Shun to investigate the defense situation of Hulao Pass, and couldn't help but complain secretly...

Even if he had two weapons in his hand, he had to pay a huge price to break through the Huzhu. After Liu Chuang and the other two searched outside the city, they returned to the Han army camp. However, as soon as he entered the central army tent, he saw Zhang He hurried over.

"Lord, the third son of the Cao family is clamoring to meet you."

When Liu Chuang heard this, his brow frowned.

After hesitating for a moment, he whispered: "Since that's the case, bring him here."

Fa Zheng and Gao Shun immediately bowed and left because they knew that this was already a family matter of Liu Chuang, and they were not suitable for staying here.

After a while, Cao Zhang strode into the central army's tent.

The boy had no attitude of being a prisoner at all. After seeing Liu Chuang, he sternly said: "Brother-in-law, today I will become a prisoner under your rank. You can kill and cut it at your own risk. But if you want me to surrender to you, you can't imagine it!"

Liu Chuang frowned, looked at Cao Zhang, and then smiled bitterly after a while.

"Ziwen, you sit down first."

"I won't sit!"

Cao Zhang stubbornly looked at Liu Chuang without fear, and shouted: "For the sake of my second sister, I will call you brother-in-law. But now, I represent my father, but you are his enemy. Don't be stubborn, what should I do to deal with me, and give me some fun."

Liu Chuang was also angry, "If it weren't for your sister's friendship, I picked up the head sacrifice flag last night, how could I let you quit here?"

He took a deep breath and smiled bitterly after a while.

"Ziwen, just don't worry, I will never ruin your life.

I told you that it is not a personal grudge between me and my father-in-law. Today's situation is a forced one. Your father cannot retreat, and I cannot retreat either. You must also know the ideal of not being able to withstand two tigers in a mountain. There must be someone who has to bow his head to achieve it.

To be honest, I didn't expect you to appear on the battlefield, and I suffered two losses in succession, and even almost caused me to lose a general. I won't ruin your life, but you can't let me let you go. I don't understand the principle of letting the tiger go back to the mountain... So, after thinking about it, I decided to send you to Yanjing. I will send someone to write a letter to my father-in-law and tell him the matter."

"I won't go to Yanjing."

"You can't decide whether to go or not."

Liu Chuang slapped the table and said sternly: "What do you think this is? Who do you think you are? Can you tell me about the conditions?

If it weren't for your second sister's sake, how could I allow you to be arrogant here?

If you are smart, please be obedient to me... Your second sister has now also got the body. You go to Yanjing to relax with her. If you still want to make a fuss about me and be a hero, I will break your legs, then strip your clothes, tie them up and send them back to Yanjing."

Liu Chuang's anger also made Cao Zhang lose his temper.

Speaking of which, he was quite afraid of Liu Chuang.

Although Liu Chuang usually smiles and looks kind to him, Cao Zhang heard that his brother-in-law had started a massacre in Liaodong last year, killing him with blood. This is a person who will not be ruthless in killing people at all! He also believes that Liu Chuang can do it if he can say it. If he is a grand third son of the Cao family, if he is really stripped naked and sent to Yanjing, it would be a shame.

So, as soon as Liu Chuang got angry, Cao Zhang immediately became shorter.

He Ai Ai for a while before he squeezed out a sentence, "When will it happen if my second sister is pregnant?"

"You asked yourself when you saw her... Now, get out immediately and pack up your things honestly.

I will let Ah Chou stare at you. If you dare to act rashly, don’t blame me for being ruthless. If Ah Chou starts, you will suffer the loss at that time.”
