Chapter 376 Hulao (End)
To be honest, Cao Zhang is not afraid of Liu Chuang.
Even if Liu Chuang is famous, Cao Zhang will not feel any fear when facing Liu Chuang.
After spending nearly a year with Liu Chuang, he has more or less knowledge about Liu Chuang. His brother-in-law may be fierce to the enemy, but he is extremely generous to his relatives. Even though he is an enemy with Cao Cao, he always maintains a sense of family affection. Perhaps to outsiders, Liu Chuang and Cao Cao are tense and have no room for reconciliation. However, Cao Zhang knew very well in his heart that the relationship between Liu Chuang and Cao Cao is far less bad than the outside world. As Liu Chuang said, he and Cao Cao are now in a difficult situation.
However, Dong is different.
Cao Zhang had generally heard about Dong Qi, and knew that the black guy was in a stubborn mind. No one in the world made him bow his head except Liu Chuang. Such a guy is born with divine power and extremely murderous. Cao Zhang was not afraid of Dong Qi killing him, but was worried that Dong Qi would deal with him and make him lose face. It was not a good thing to anger Dong Qi... That guy was not at all serious.
"I'll go to Yanjing..."
Cao Zhang lowered his head and answered cowardly.
But Liu Chuang ignored him and waved his hand at him, then lowered his head and read the official documents.
Cao Zhang walked out of the tent in shame and saw Dong Qi standing outside the tent guarding. When he walked out, Dong Qi also saw him and grinned his teeth. His white teeth made Cao Zhang feel excited and ran away with his head down.
Dong Qi looked at Cao Zhang's back and showed a look of doubt.
He didn't quite understand why Cao Zhang saw him like a little sheep from a big bad wolf? Compared with Cao Zhang on the battlefield yesterday, he looked like two people.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In mid-August of the ninth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao arrived at Baima.
He was about to rest, and then he quickly rushed back to Xudu, but he did not want to hear from Hulao Pass that Cao Zhang and Dianman were captured by Liu Chuang.
After hearing the news, Cao Cao felt nervous.
"Lord. The third prince was captured by Liu Chuang. He must send someone to Hulao Pass as soon as possible to rescue the third prince."
Dong Zhao was very anxious and volunteered: "Why not like this? I will go to Hulao Pass now and lobby for Liu Chuang to release the third son?"
But Cao Cao calmed down. After pondering on the desk for a moment, he suddenly smiled.
"You don't have to worry about Gongren. Even if Ziwen falls into Liu Chuang's hands, he will have no worries about his life."
"ah?"
"I know Chuang'er's nature quite well.
The battle between me and him will never be affected by Ziwen... Now the battle between Huzhu has reached a critical moment. Once Huzhu is broken, I am afraid that there will be a decisive battle between me and Chuang'er. At this time, neither me nor him will give in. Gongren, you can only encourage Chuang'er to be arrogant and he will not release Ziwen back at this time.
And don't pay attention. Just return to Xudu...
He passed my order and asked Gongming to station in Xingyang and ordered Wenlie to station in Meishan.
Wen Ruo wrote that Xu Du has been quite uneasy recently, and those little ones are also ready to move, so we must be careful. Since we want to fight Chuang'er, we must ensure that the food channels are smooth. Chuang'er is no better than Yuan Shao. He will never make any mistakes made by Yuan Shao back then. We must be more careful."
Liu Chuang knew Cao Cao, and Cao Cao also knew Liu Chuang.
Dong Zhao didn't know how to comment on this couple's father-in-law and son-in-law. After hearing Cao Cao's words, he could only smile bitterly and shake his head.
However, facts also prove Cao Cao's speculation.
On the third day after Cao Zhang was captured, Cao Cao received a letter from Hulao Pass, and the person who wrote the letter was Liu Chuang.
In the letter, Liu Chuang told Cao Cao: Ziwen was naughty and underestimated the heroes of the world. He must teach him a lesson.
Since you don’t have time to teach him a lesson, why don’t you let me teach him a lesson on your father-in-law? Yuwa is pregnant, and at the same time, because of the fight between you and me, I am depressed all day long. I was worried that she was bored at home alone, so I asked Ziwen to go to Yanjing to accompany Yuwa.
Liu Chuang's letter is considered sincere.
After Cao Cao saw it, he couldn't help laughing...
Yuwa is finally pregnant, and the third generation of my Cao family is finally coming to life!
Although the child's surname will eventually be Liu, Cao Cao didn't care. He always felt that he was a little owed to Cao Xian. Now that Cao Xian has a child, she will further strengthen her position on Liu Chuang. At the same time, it also shows that Liu Chuang did not neglect Cao Xian because of the fight between him and Cao Cao, which also made Cao Cao quite pleased.
only……
After the joy, Cao Cao calmed down immediately.
Because from Liu Chuang's words, Cao Cao also felt Liu Chuang's determination.
Liu Chuang is bound to win the Hulao this time... He must have made up his mind to have a decisive battle with Cao Cao and a complete decisive battle.
Two years ago, when Yuan Shao died of illness, Cao Cao expected that the lord of the north would inevitably compete between him and Liu Chuang.
However, he did not expect that this day would come so quickly, which surprised him... Two years ago, Liu Chuang had only one and a half of the territory of the state, and it was all bitter and cold, with a sparse population. But who would have expected that in just two years, he would have dominated Hebei and occupied Liangzhou. Even in terms of foundation, Liu Chuang could not compare with Yuan Shao at the time. But in terms of strength, Liu Chuang really had the power to fight Cao Cao. All of this was too fast! It was so fast that before Cao Cao could wake up from the joy of defeating Yuan Shao, he found that an opponent who almost surpassed Yuan Shao had appeared in front of him.
Unstable foundation?
As long as Liu Chuang can keep winning, his foundation will naturally be consolidated.
Perhaps, Liu Chuang's qualifications are not as good as those princes, but as long as he keeps winning, what is the qualifications in front of absolute strength?
It turns out that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger!
Cao Cao suddenly felt an inexplicable fatigue...
Before I knew it, I was almost at the age of knowing my destiny.
But he didn't expect that at this age, he would have to face off against a junior on the battlefield. This also made Cao Cao suddenly feel that he was really old!
However, even so, I will not admit defeat!
Want to be the Lord of the North?
Simple... Take out your means and I will talk about it before you win.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao suddenly felt a different kind of pride. This kind of pride seemed to appear when he decided to fight Yuan Shao a few years ago. Since Yuan Shao's death, he seemed to have lost this kind of pride. Unexpectedly, at this time, it would appear again.
Five years ago, I defeated Yuan Shao with fewer defeated him here.
Now, I want to have another decisive battle with you in Guandu. If you, Liu Mengyan, really have the ability to defeat me, what's the point if I lose?
"Meng Kang, I'll send my order and leave early tomorrow morning. We will return to Xudu as soon as possible!"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Liu Chuang didn't know that he was facing huge pressure. Cao Cao was full of fighting spirit.
However, even if he knows, he will not think of retreating!
The sun is shining and bright.
The scorching sun shines on the earth in autumn, but the halo of sunshine is a faint blood color.
Outside Hulao Pass, Han army soldiers lined up.
Three hundred winch crossbows were divided into three arrangements in front of the formation. One catapult cart was like a fierce monster, crawling behind the winch crossbow.
There was no one in the tiger's prison.
At the critical moment, the Cao army's big flag was flying, and under the sunlight, a cold light flashed from time to time.
The Cao army soldiers hid behind the female wall and watched the Han army's movements closely. Although the Han army had not launched an attack, the evil spirit that came to their face was enough to make many people feel nervous. Even Cao Peng and Xiahou Dun couldn't help but feel scared. Not to mention, Guo Yi, who had never experienced such a solemn atmosphere, had a pale face as paper, and could not help swallowing, and his heart was pounding.
Is this the fierce man in Liu Chuang’s hands?
Guo Yi fought with the Han army, but he never felt such a strong murderous aura.
The soldiers were still the same soldiers. However, the commander was replaced by Liu Chuang, so that the morale of the entire Han army suddenly became particularly high.
Dongdongdongdongdongdong!
The rhythmic sound of war drums came from the Han army formation.
Liu Chuang jumped out of the horse. He circled the horse in front of the formation, then held the war horse under the gate flag, held up the Jiazi sword, and shouted sternly: "Three Army Lang, Hulao is in front of you now."
After several years of fierce battle, it is now time for a decisive battle... After breaking through Hulao Pass, Cao's army will have no way out; on the contrary, if we cannot break through Hulao, we will become the object of ridicule for the people of the world. Today, I will supervise the battle myself, and the children should strive for the first place and not retreat."
"Break through the Huzhu and support the Han Dynasty!"
"Break through the Huzhu and support the Han Dynasty!"
The Han soldiers shouted in unison, and their voices echoed over the Hulao Pass like giant thunder.
Fa Zheng, Zhang He, and Gao Shun were all as heavy as water, with solemn expressions, only looking at the Jiazi sword in Liu Chuang's hand.
Cao Peng was in the Hulao and couldn't help swallowing.
He turned his head, looked at Xiahou Dun, and suddenly chuckled softly: "Uncle, today you and my uncle and nephew have no way out to fight to the death."
Xiahou Dun nodded and smiled.
“So what if you fight to the death?
Since I was in Chuping's first year, I have experienced more than a hundred wars in all kinds of battles. There are more than a thousand people who died at my hands. Why should I beg for death? I am a person who is guilty, and it is fine to die in the Huzhu. But my friend, you are young... Listen to me, a real man should serve the country with useful power. You are extremely brave and wise and well-intended... If the situation is critical, you can retreat first with Bo Yi. I will fight to cover up my death... Friend, don't argue with me, you must know that you can only get revenge if you are alive."
Cao Peng did not answer, but suddenly pulled out his sword and stood up.
"The country has supported us for a long time, and now it is the day for us to serve our country.
The three armies obeyed the orders and guarded Hulao Pass to the death. It depends on what methods the flying bear had... Those who dared to take a step back would kill them on the spot, which would be merciless."
"Fight to death, fight to death, fight to death!"
When Hulao was closed, Cao's soldiers shouted in unison.
However, before they could shout, the sound of war drums outside Hulao Pass suddenly stopped, and then a roar like thunder came: "The sky thunder fire is ready, eject!"
Chapter completed!
