When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 411 With Zhongde's help, why should I fear Zhang He? !

Desperate?

Zhang He's pupils trembled and a solemn look flashed in his eyes. The voice sounded so familiar. Which general under Liu Xuande's command was this?
He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a warrior leading the cavalry charging down. He was short in stature but had a familiar face.
"."

"Cao Mengde?"

Zhang He was surprised, and the solemnity in his eyes disappeared without a trace.

He never expected that the one charging in the front was not Huang Zhong, Guan Yu or Zhang Fei, but Cao Cao.
Who is Cao Cao?
Yuan Shao’s former good friend is now a thorn in his side.

It’s not that Zhang He looked down on Cao Cao. Whenever he saw a strange face, he would be on high alert. But the person who came was Cao Cao, and Cao Cao charged into the battle line. What a joke!
Zhang He wanted to turn around and capture Cao Cao, but just as he was about to do so, he hesitated.

Cao Mengde is no fool.

Previously, Yuan Jun suggested ordering Dong Zhuo to come to the capital, but Cao Mengde, regardless of their friendship, strongly opposed it.

In other words, this person is not brave, but perhaps good at strategy.

In this case, there must be a deeper meaning behind Cao Mengde's leading by example?

Zhang He could not help but look at Cao Cao and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry again. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were galloping like lightning, and no one slowed down as they rushed down the hillside, and no one fell off the saddle due to loss of control of their horses. Their faces were full of determination, and their morale was terrifyingly high.

He subconsciously compared it with his own Jizhou cavalry, but no matter how he tried to make up for it, it was difficult for the Jizhou knights to have such high morale, unless Yuan Shao himself came?

In short, in a war, when the number of soldiers is almost the same, morale is the most important thing.

If morale cannot be maintained, the troops will collapse at the first blow and scatter like birds and beasts, let alone fighting.

Zhang He immediately understood Cao Cao's intention - to motivate the cavalry and boost morale!

Judging from the results, Cao Cao was very successful.

The morale that Zhang He had worked so hard to raise prevented the Jizhou cavalry from retreating, and at least gave them the strength to fight bravely forward.

However, facing the iron hooves of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the once elite Jizhou cavalry was so vulnerable.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry charging down the hillside were like two sharp knives, while the thousand-man Jizhou cavalry were like a long worm. The sharp knives were extremely sharp and could cut the worm in half with just one encounter!
The team was instantly split into two parts. One part was led by Zhang He and rushed to the front, with the dawn of escape shining on their faces. The other part was from the middle to the end of the team, who had to face the sharp blades of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and suffered the threat of death.

"General! What should we do now?"

The knight beside him spoke anxiously, like a humming kettle.

Zhang He said resolutely: "We have something important to attend to. We will withdraw first and join Yuan Gong!"

"Yes." The knights understood that Zhang He's words were the best way to deal with the situation at the moment. They retracted their gazes and urged their horses to gallop away into the distance.

Cao Cao's face darkened, and a scornful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "I thought Zhang He was a famous general in Hebei, but now I see that he is just a coward. If I let him escape, I will be unwilling!"

"Captain." Zhang Xiu could not help but say, "We have reaped great rewards on this trip, why should we continue the pursuit?" "Sima Zhang, you don't understand, a real man should kill the general and seize the flag!" Cao Cao said in a heroic tone.

Zhang Xiu sighed helplessly, thinking: It seems that I can't convince Captain Cao.
While Zhang Xiu was still sighing in his heart, Cao Cao came up to Zhang Xiu, pointed at the Jizhou cavalry they had left behind, and said, "Sir Zhang, look, these are only a few hundred cavalry. If you can behead and capture Zhang He, it would be a great military achievement. Not only will it make you rich, it could even provide shelter for your descendants!"

Zhang Xiu turned and looked at the Jizhou cavalry. Although some of them were still resisting, most of them had dropped their weapons and raised their hands in surrender.

As I watched, a different idea emerged in my head. You know, Zhang He was Yan Liang's deputy general, and his status was second only to Yan Liang. If Zhang He was really beheaded or even captured as Captain Cao said, such a great military achievement would make people itchy!

After all, who doesn’t want to be rich and powerful? No, it’s about supporting the Han Dynasty!

Seeing Zhang Xiu's interest, Cao Cao knew he had succeeded. He had investigated Zhang Xiu and found that he was brave in battle and capable of commanding troops. He had no other hobbies except money.

Speaking of love of money, Cao Cao knew someone who loved money particularly, and that was Xu You, Xu Ziyuan.

However, unlike Xu You's greed, Zhang Xiu's love of money was more inclined towards rewards from the court. When others gave him money and asked him to do things for them, Zhang Xiu was unwilling to pay any attention.

All in all, although Cao Cao despised Zhang He, he felt it would be safer to bring Zhang Xiu along.

As for the Jizhou cavalry that were left behind.
"Gongtai, I'll leave them to you. You take some soldiers and horses, keep an eye on them, and escort them back to the camp!" Cao Cao seemed to remember something and added, "Their horses and the horses in the army are all given to me. We will each take two horses and catch up with Zhang He!"

Chen Gong asked worriedly, "Will this trip be dangerous?"

"Danger?" Cao Cao waved his hand, "With Sima Zhang here, what danger is there?!"

These words touched Zhang Xiu's heart, and he nodded subconsciously.

Seeing that Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu were determined, Chen Gong stopped trying to persuade them. However, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Captain, the terrain here is complicated. Please bring a guide with you."

"Guide?" Cao Cao was full of confusion. Where could the guide come from now?

Chen Gong quickly gave the answer.

Chen Gong looked at someone with a hint of meaning. Cao Cao followed Chen Gong's gaze and saw a dusty scholar sitting on the ground. He did not look like a famous scholar at all. However, Cao Cao saw something. He felt that this man had extraordinary talent, so he clasped his fists towards the man and said respectfully, "Cao, nice to meet you, sir."

As Cao Cao was speaking, he looked at Chen Gong again and said, "Gongtai, why don't you introduce this gentleman to me?"

Chen Gong smiled and said, "Captain, this man is my good friend from the same county, Cheng Yu Zhongde! Zhongde came to Bingzhou much earlier than us, and he is much more familiar with this place than we are. I spent a lot of time and effort to get Zhongde to help me!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Gongtai." Cao Cao comforted Chen Gong, and then looked at Cheng Yu with burning eyes.

Cheng Yu seemed to agree with Chen Gong's words. He nodded, stood up, patted his sleeves, clasped his fists and said to Cao Cao: "Cheng Yu, Cheng Zhongde, from Dongjun, greets the captain!"

“Hahaha!” Cao Cao stepped forward quickly, not caring whether Cheng Yu was dirty or not, and directly held Cheng Yu’s hands. “With Zhongde’s help, why should I be afraid of Zhang He?! After this battle is over, I will definitely write a letter to the emperor on Zhongde’s behalf!”

Cheng Yu fell silent, and nodded for some unknown reason. When he was about to refuse, he suddenly found himself riding on a war horse, following Cao Cao to chase Zhang He. As for the number of people, there were a total of one thousand.
