Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 589: Battle of Luoyang (XII)
"You are so arrogant! If you are not using the Fang Tian Hua Ji, then you are Lu Bu!"

When Cao Zhen saw that Bao Yi dared to provoke him in such a tone, he could not help but get furious, and he picked up his sword and went forward to fight with Bao Yi.

However, Cao Zhen did not seem to have expected that Bao Yi was so powerful. After all, Cao Zhen himself was skilled in archery and horse riding, and had good martial arts. Although he was not first-rate, he was at the top of the second-rate.

Cao Zhen asked himself that even if Zhang He wanted to take him down it would be a very difficult task, but now facing this big black man, Cao Zhen felt tremendous pressure.

Although Cao Zhen had never fought against Lu Bu in person, he could probably imagine the difficulties his uncles had in fighting against Lu Bu. Now Cao Zhen was being beaten by Bao Yi. He was inferior in strength, and his skills were similar. His speed was not inferior either, and he was completely suppressed by the other party.

"Come and die!"

After Bao Yi and Cao Zhen exchanged a few moves, he found that Cao Zhen's level seemed to be limited, so he suddenly exerted his strength, ready to defeat Cao Zhen completely.

"hateful……"

Cao Zhen struggled to hold on, but the gap in martial arts was too great. After the two of them barely exchanged a few moves, Bao Yi's painted halberd chopped down and numbed Cao Zhen's hand holding the knife. For a few seconds, his left hand could not even move.

"Cao Zhen, die!"

Bao Yi shouted loudly and was about to kill Cao Zhen, but unexpectedly a long spear came from the side and pointed directly at Bao Yi's throat, forcing him to give up this great opportunity to kill Cao Zhen.

"Who are you?"

Bao Yi was a little confused when he saw that the other party was an unfamiliar old man. He had never seen this person before, and Feng Xi had never said that the other party had such a veteran.

"I am Cao Hong Cao Zilian! Youngsters like you, do you still remember me?"

The veteran looked very motivated and looked at Bao Yi with burning eyes.

"Cao Hong?"

Bao Yi was not a muscle-bound fool, so he had naturally heard of Cao Hong's name. A few months ago, Feng Xi had mentioned that Cao Hong was demoted to a commoner, but he never mentioned this man again after that.

However, as a veteran general during Cao Cao's uprising, Cao Hong still has a relatively great reputation. At least Feng Xi once mentioned Cao Hong's role when he reviewed Cao Cao's uprising to his generals. If he had not given his horse to Cao Cao in the Battle of Xingyang, it would be questionable whether there would be a Cao Cao in the future.

Feng Xi's evaluation of Cao Hong was also very simple: he had a bad temper, was stingy, and had too many character flaws, making him unsuitable to be a general on his own; but he was loyal, had good martial arts, and was a confidant of the Cao family, so Cao Cao loved him very much.

"Haha, I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be Cao Hong, the stingy man who recruited singing girls in the army and became a commoner because he refused to lend money to Cao Pi!"

Bao Yi had also learned a lot of jargon from Feng Xi, so he called out Cao Hong's nickname without hesitation and dug up his dark history.

"You! You are so brave, you thief, die now!"

Cao Hong was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. There were many things he didn't want to mention. The two things that Bao Yi mentioned were also two not-so-glorious things in his life. Now that Bao Yi said them so blatantly when the two armies were fighting, how could he not be angry?

"Uncle, I'm here to help you!"

Cao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Cao Hong coming, he went up without saying a word and joined Cao Hong in besieging Bao Yi.

Although Cao Hong's martial arts skills were good and at a first-class level, he was now old and weak, and he had not fought for several years, so his performance was not much different from Cao Zhen's. Although the two fought hard, they could not pose an effective threat to Bao Yi, whose martial arts skills were even better than Zhang He's.

"General Xu! This man is one of the murderers of your father. Come and help us!"

During a break in the battle, Cao Zhen saw a Wei general nearby and called out to him loudly.

This man also has a grudge against the Han army. He is Xu Gai, the son of Xu Huang. He was in Luoyang when Xu Huang died. Later, he had no chance to take revenge and go to the battlefield in person. It was not until today when the Han army arrived in Luoyang that he had the opportunity to avenge his father.

"What?! You evil thief, give me your life!"

Just as Cao Zhen had expected, Xu Gai immediately attacked with his axe in hand.

Xu Gai's martial arts were inherited from his family, but it was obvious that Xu Gai's level was not as good as his father Xu Huang's, and his martial arts skills were only second-rate. At this moment, three people besieged Bao Yi, but Bao Yi was still at ease. Although it was not particularly easy, the three of them could not endanger Bao Yi's life.

For some reason, Cao Hong suddenly thought of the man who held the Fang Tian Hua Ji and was invincible, but he immediately shook his head. That man was so heroic and his aura was so terrifying that Cao Hong didn't even dare to look at him. Although Bao Yi is strong now, he is still far from that level.

"Bao Yi, how can you fight three people alone? Do you think you are Lu Bu?"

A teasing voice was heard, and then a white figure came near the battle circle of the four people.

"Let me see, isn't this Cao Zhen? His commanding ability is terrible, and his martial arts skills are not good either. It seems that if your father had not contributed to Cao Cao, you would have had a hard time becoming his adopted son, let alone his patroness."

The person who came began to seriously slander Cao Cao and even Cao Zhen's biological father. Needless to say, who else could it be but Feng Xi?
"You bastard! I want you to die for humiliating me like this!"

Upon hearing Feng Xi humiliating himself, his father, and his adoptive father in this way, Cao Zhen's eyes turned red and he was about to leave Bao Yi behind to fight Feng Xi.

"Zi Dan! Don't fall into your trap!"

Although Cao Hong was a little angry, this passage was mainly scolding Cao Zhen, so Cao Hong was still able to maintain some rationality.

"Who are you, old man? Are you the stingy Cao Hong who boasted and gave the cold shoulder to Cao Pi? How about you save money all your life and give it to your nephew for free? Are you happy? I heard that if it weren't for Queen Mother Bian's intercession, you would have been killed directly. Tsk tsk, Cao Hong, you have this in your life. I wonder if you will cry and complain to Cao Cao after you go down."

Feng Xi criticized Cao Hong again, making Cao Hong tremble with anger. There was nothing he could do. Bao Yi was just poking at his sore spots, but Feng Xi's words were just tearing open his wounds, and then he sprinkled salt on them. This casual and nonchalant attitude made Cao Hong furious.

"Who are you? You look very young."

Feng Xi ignored the two Cao family members with angry eyes and instead glanced at Xu Gai.

"I am Xu Gai, the son of Yangping Marquis and Right General Xu Huang!"

Seeing Feng Xi asking him, Xu Gai puffed out his chest and was very proud. He has always been proud of his father.

"Oh, son of Xu Huang, I was the one who killed your father. He died miserably. He was shot like a hedgehog by my Han army's archers. It took us half an hour to pull out the arrows afterwards."
