Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 474: Are reinforcements coming? Being looked down upon

Cao Zhang's eyes were as sharp as torches. He knew that it was time. Now was the best opportunity to kill Meng Huo. Looking at Meng Huo who was getting closer and closer to him, Cao Zhang waved his Fang Tian Hua Ji and used the last move of Tian Yuan Jueming Ji Fa, breaking the sky with the halberd and swinging it out violently and vigorously.

There are a total of sixteen styles of Tianyuan Jueming Halberd Technique, and each style is divided into sixteen moves. The first and last move of each style can get double bonus of Tianyuan Jueming Halberd Technique. And the last move, Breaking the Sky with the Halberd, is the strongest style among the sixteen styles, and the strongest move among the strongest styles. Even if you, Meng Huo, have special bonuses, how can you not be defeated?
As the Fang Tian Huaji was swung out, a huge and fierce force that seemed to split the clouds and mist, separated the sky and the earth, and flew towards Meng Huo.

Meng Huo chopped hard on the aura, but it felt like he was chopping on the weapon itself, because the aura was too hard. The aura passed by, and Cao Zhang's full-strength attack made Meng Huo fly backwards. He hit the city wall hard, and then spat out a mouthful of sweet blood with a wow.

Cao Zhang gasped heavily. After that slash of sword, he felt exhausted again. However, every time he was exhausted, his experience points would be greatly improved, but his legendary general points had not changed. It was exactly the same as when he just came back from the Huns, without any increase at all.

By the time the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry arrived at the battlefield, Meng Huo had already been carried into the city. Only Cao Zhang, who was still recovering his strength, was left on the battlefield. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry wanted to take Cao Zhang away, but Cao Zhang refused.

Cao Zhang turned around and looked in horror in the direction behind him, because from there came a breath that made his heart palpitate. The breath was indescribable, but Cao Zhang had felt the same breath on Dian Wei, and this breath was not from Dian Wei.

In other words, the person who came was also a legendary general, and not Dian Wei.

"The whole army is ready for war!"

Cao Zhang roared with all his might, which made the barbarian generals on the city wall feel their hearts in their throats. But the next moment, they found that Cao Zhang did not seem to be attacking the city wall, because he was leading all his troops to surround the exit of the canyon.

"What's going on here?"

Meng Huo, who was hit by Cao Zhang's halberd and vomited blood, asked softly. He was leaning against the wall at the moment and couldn't stand up.

"Brother, it seems that reinforcements have come in from outside. Cao Zhang led his troops to meet the enemy."

Meng You narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, but the distance was too far and he couldn't see clearly. However, based on Cao Zhang's reaction just now, the person who came was at least not in the same group as Cao Zhang. In that case, it would be easy to deal with. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. They still understood this sentence very well.

"Reinforcements? When have we ever had reinforcements in the north of Yongchang County?"

Meng Huo asked in confusion. Since he divided the territory and established self-government, all his forces have been in Yongchang County. Even if he had external aid, it should be from the barbarians outside the country, and the support should come from the south. Who could this person from the north be?
But as Meng You said, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and Meng Huo also became more energetic.

"Manniu, you lead the army out of the city to fight, attack from both sides, and make sure that these two grandsons, Liu Zhang and Cao Zhang, die here today!"

Meng Huo could not hide his excitement, and ordered a top-notch barbarian general beside him to lead his troops out of the city to fight.

On the other side, at the exit of the canyon, Cao Zhang and Zhang Ren, the two strongest fighters at present, were already waiting here. Behind them was a part of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, about two thousand people. The others were currently on the small roads around the military town to block the entry and exit of the military town personnel.

Especially the tomb raiders and the Fachiu generals, whose combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. They are in charge of the main roads, where all food and grass are transported, and they cannot leave.

Even if we give the order to assemble now, by the time they gather, Cao Zhang and the others might have been captured. It would be better not to make this plan at all.

"Ziwen, why are you so nervous? I have hundreds of thousands of troops outside the canyon. If they are really Meng Huo's reinforcements, they have to pass through my army before they can get in. Besides, even if they get in, they will definitely suffer heavy losses. They are no match for us."

In response to Liu Zhang's endless chatter, Cao Zhang only used a few words.

"The one who came is a legendary general."

This sentence choked Liu Zhang who was about to continue speaking. Zhang Ren's palms were covered with cold sweats as he heard it.

"Are you sure about this? Could it be that your father and Dian Wei have returned? Isn't Dian Wei also a legendary general?"

Liu Zhang's voice trembled a little. If he really was a legendary general, he would probably die here today.

"How could I not be aware of General Dian's aura?"

Cao Zhang said with some annoyance. His palms were sweating at the moment. After all, it was the first time he faced an enemy who was a legendary general. He was inevitably a little nervous, but more of it was warlike. He wanted to know how big the gap was between himself and the legendary general.

Soon, Cao Zhang could see the somewhat lonely figure. He clenched the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, no longer caring that he had little strength left. He made up his mind that even if he died, he had to make the opponent lose two teeth.

After being able to see the figure clearly, Cao Zhang, who was originally ready to go with a tense spirit, was suddenly stunned, because the person who came was not Guan Yu, nor was he a general under Liu Bei. Instead, he was the group that should not be on this battlefield.

"Sun Ce?"

Cao Zhang shouted with a hint of doubt, somewhat unsure. After all, there was really no reason for Sun Ce to appear in this place.

"Ziwen, it's me."

Sun Ce was incredibly fast and in the blink of an eye he was only one step away from Cao Zhang. Although Cao Zhang relaxed a little, he was still wary of Sun Ce. Although the two sides did not have enmity, the failure of their previous cooperation also made their relationship not very good.

"What brings you here?"

"It was your father who asked me to come here to help you break into the city and capture Meng Huo alive."

"My father? What's the evidence?"

Hearing this, Cao Zhang became even more confused and alert. He gently flipped the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his right hand. As long as there was anything wrong with Sun Ce, he would take action immediately.

"Don't get excited. Put down the Fang Tian Hua Ji that your father just gave you."

Sun Ce pressed his hand towards Cao Zhang, who was stunned when he heard it. Cao Cao gave him the Fang Tian Hua Ji, which was something only the father and son knew. How could Sun Ce know it?
"How do you know that this Fang Tian Hua Ji was given to me by my father?"

"Of course your father told me, what else could it be?"

"Just these words are not enough to rely on. My father is a cautious person. If he really sent you here, he would definitely not tell you only such an ambiguous sentence. What is your purpose in coming here?!"

Cao Zhang, who knew Cao Cao's temper well, pointed his halberd at Sun Ce.

"Hahahaha, what do you mean by cautious? I think you're just being suspicious."

Sun Ce couldn't help but burst into laughter. Cao Zhang raised his halberd and pointed it forward, speaking angrily.

"If you don't retreat, it means that you, Jiangdong, have declared war on me!"

Hearing this, Sun Ce shook his head, took out a ring from his waist and threw it directly to Cao Zhang. Cao Zhang originally wanted to smash it directly, but suddenly found that the object looked familiar. After taking it in his hand, he discovered that this was the ring his father wore on his hand all year round.

"They are indeed father and son, with the same temperament. Your father gave this to me because he was afraid that you would not believe it. Dian Wei is still with your father. Even if I take it by force, I will definitely not be able to escape unscathed if I want to get past Dian Wei's obstruction." Cao Zhang carefully looked at the ring on his palm. After confirming that it was indeed his father's, Sun Ce threw the ring back.

"Why did your father ask you to come here?"

Sun Ce did not answer, but drove his horse closer to Cao Zhang, and came to his side. He smiled and glanced at the cavalrymen behind Cao Zhang and Liu Zhang.

"Are you sure you want to say this here? I heard that you pulled out four spies from the baggage camp alone. Are you sure there are no spies for Liu Bei among them?"

"Is this what my father told you?"

Cao Zhang raised his hand and waved to the cavalry behind him, signaling them to retreat. After seeing Cao Zhang's gesture, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry began to retreat. Several of them cast unfriendly glances at the two men. Sun Ce smiled and tapped a few of them with his hand.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Ziwen, is this how you usually control your subordinates? You told them not to listen to the general's conversation. They are so unconvinced over such a small matter and even glared at me. Or are they spies planted by Liu Bei among you?"

"Okay, they're far away now. Do you have to avoid them when talking to me?"

Cao Zhang said this with some impatience, but there was a strong sense of vigilance in the depths of his eyes, and the seeds of suspicion had been planted.

"First of all, from now on, no matter what order you give, all orders will only be given to those who are to carry out the order, and this must be done before the matter begins. Even if it is a close confidant, this must be done. Do you understand?"

Sun Ce looked at Cao Zhang with a smile, but Cao Zhang stared at Sun Ce expressionlessly without any reaction. Sun Ce knew he was boring and spread his hands.

"The second thing is, I will help you break the city and capture Meng Huo alive. You will follow me to take Meng Huo to Jiaozhou, and then we will rush to Jingzhou to help."

"Rush to help Jingzhou? What do you mean by rush to help Jingzhou?"

Cao Zhang was suddenly startled. Sun Ce stretched out his index finger and shook it in a pretentious manner. The meaning was obvious: he had to obey the first thing.

"Okay, next, let's deal with Meng Huo first."

As Sun Ce spoke, he took off the Overlord Spear from his back and removed the cloth covering it, revealing the sharp spear tip.

"Oh, yes, there is also this thing."

Before he finished speaking, Sun Ce threw out a tiger talisman. After Cao Zhang took it, he immediately recognized that it was the Yizhou Army Tiger talisman that Liu Zhang had just given to her father.

"Did your father give you this, too?"

"Hahaha, you may not understand now what kind of cooperation we are having this time, but after you meet your father, he should let you know. If he doesn't tell you, it means you shouldn't know."

"Pretending to be profound."

Cao Zhang turned around and caught up with Sun Ce who was already riding forward.

"The Yizhou troops are right behind us now. They should be here in about a quarter of an hour. I have only mobilized a small number of them, only 10,000, which should be enough."

"Haven't you already been promoted to a legendary general? Can't you just go in and kill them one by one?"

"You know, your father knows, but Liu Bei, his subordinates, and his spies don't know. This time, I am only responsible for escorting Meng Huo. Who knows if there are any spies of Liu Bei in this city, and whether they will pass on the news before they die?"

"A bit too cautious, isn't it?"

"No, it's not enough, not too much."

After saying this, both of them fell into silence, with nothing to say to each other.

Sun Ce spoke again only when the sound of horse hooves could be heard from the exit of the canyon.

"Okay, let's do what's in front of us first... Hey? What is that?"

Cao Zhang looked in the direction of Sun Ce's finger, and saw that the originally empty battlefield was now filled with barbarian troops pouring out of the city.

Cao Zhang had also seen the first-class general who was leading the barbarian tribe. He was one of the men who had just gone out of the city and dragged Meng Huo into the city. In addition to him, there were several other people beside him, and they all seemed to be first-class generals.

"Could it be that he thought the enemy was coming, so he came out to attack from both sides?"

Sun Ce asked in disbelief.

"No, you can't even get this kind of stuff?"

"It's not that we can't take it, we just want to do it without spending a single soldier."

Cao Zhang explained with a dark face. He did not expect why Meng Huo suddenly acted confused. In this situation, even if it was really the enemy attacking them, they should at least wait until they fought with the attackers before they went out of the city to join the battle.

In the end, they just rushed out without saying anything, which only made them look stupid as they couldn't even defeat such a brainless enemy.

"Bo Fu, you don't need to do anything, leave it to me."

Cao Zhang felt that if he didn't do something, he would be beaten to a pulp by Sun Ce. Both of them were sons of their respective lords, and Sun Ce was now a legendary general. Cao Zhang already felt that he had lost face for his father, and now that Sun Ce had come, he kept talking nonsense. How could Cao Zhang, who had a bad temper, stand this?

If the two parties were not in a cooperative relationship now, and it did not seem to be an ordinary cooperative relationship, and if Cao Zhang was not unable to defeat Sun Ce now, Cao Zhang would have taken action long ago and beat Sun Ce first.

As if he knew what Cao Zhang was thinking, Sun Ce immediately put away the cloth strip that had been half-removed, and covered the Overlord Spear again. At the same time, he took off the black gauze from his waist and covered his face with it.

Cao Zhang said nothing, but began to ride his horse slowly forward, his eyes full of anger.

When the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry saw that their main general had started the charge, they no longer cared about Sun Ce who had just looked down on them, and they all followed Cao Zhang and started the charge.

Sun Ce really did not intend to join the battle. He just picked a place with a better view and watched quietly as Cao Zhang wielded his Fang Tian Hua Ji and charged back and forth among the barbarian soldiers.

At this time, the Yizhou army finally poured out of the narrow canyon like a tide. As soon as they came out, they rushed out in a fan shape as if a floodgate had been opened.
