Cao Thief

Chapter 670
Huang Zhong came from Tangzi Township to escort grain and grass.

At his age, people are no longer as competitive as young people.Disobedience to the old is not the kind of aggressiveness.He could roughly guess what Liu Hu was thinking, and he didn't have much opinion on Liu Hu's decision to keep him in Tangzi Township.It's just that Huang Zhong didn't expect that when he was escorting grain and grass, he encountered Liu Hu's defeat.So he rushed out from the back camp and saw Cao Peng preparing to kill Liu Hu.

Huang Zhong didn't know Cao Peng, but he vaguely guessed Cao Peng's identity.

After saving Liu Hu, Huang Zhong did not retreat immediately, but pointed at Cao Peng with the Tiger Roaring Knife snatched from Pound's hand.

He is fighting against Cao Peng!

The Jingzhou soldiers who have begun to defeat need to be injected with a booster.

And the best booster is undoubtedly to kill Cao Peng.If Cao Peng can really be killed, not only can the defeat be saved, but the war can even be ended quickly.Huang Zhong's beard grew wild, he roared, and charged forward on his horse.At this time, Cao Peng also stabilized his mind. Seeing Huang Zhong rushing up, he did not show the slightest fear.Neither of the two opened their mouths to speak, but they knew each other's intentions very well.In the past three years of ghost salary, Cao Peng has realized his 'potential'.

Like a ball of raging flames, rushing forward, drawing a circle with a halberd, turning into a ray of light, obliquely wiping it out.

Huang Zhong, on the other hand, showed a dignified look, flipping the Tiger Roaring Saber in his hand, slashing mountains with the saber, overflowing with the saber, and in an instant, they exchanged more than ten strikes with the painting pole halberd.The two horses pedaled wrongly, and the two turned the horses' heads again.Cao Peng's expression became extremely ugly.

This old guy is so strong!
Cao Peng couldn't help sighing secretly in his heart, he was worthy of the five generals of Shu Han.

He reined in the horse, and tightly held the painting pole and halberd in his big hand, trembling uncontrollably, his arm was sore and limp.

Huang Zhong sneered and urged the horse to charge out again.But at this moment, a gong sounded behind him, and it was Liu Hu who had withdrawn after leaving the battlefield.

Huang Zhong didn't want to just retreat like this, but the military order was like a mountain, and since Liu Hu had already demanded gold, he absolutely could not disobey the order.

"You are Cao Peng."

Huang Zhong spoke suddenly, his voice was like gold and stone, revealing a sense of strength.

Cao Peng's arm has regained consciousness, and he smiled proudly after hearing this: "Of course!"

"This time, spare your life.

Come, a certain family will take your head. "

Huang Zhong spoke suddenly, with a strong killing intent in his words.

Cao Peng's heart trembled, but there was no expression on his face, he sneered and said, "This is what I want."

Huang Zhong chuckled twice, held the line up personally, and retreated slowly towards the camp.At the same time, Pang De, Li Yan and others also leaned forward.

"Young master, why did you withdraw your troops?"

When Pang De saw Huang Zhong, he immediately flew into a rage.

He was defeated by Huang Zhong, but to be honest, he didn't hold any resentment.

Huang Zhong defeated him because of his real talents and learning, without any opportunistic tricks.To lose is to lose, and Pound can't afford to lose in this regard.

But this old man snatched his Tiger Roaring Knife, which made Pound feel ashamed and angry.

The Tiger Roaring Knife was a gift from Cao Peng, and it also represented Cao Peng's trust in him.But now, he has lost that trust, how can he not feel ashamed when he sees Cao Peng?
Cao Peng looked at the Jingzhou soldiers who were slowly gathering, and led by Huang Zhong, they slowly retreated towards the barracks.

"This old soldier is not to be taken lightly, and should not be underestimated.

You can see that he personally held the formation, just to prevent the pursuit.If you continue to attack, I'm afraid it will backfire.Moreover, everyone has just gone through a tough battle, with huge losses, and the sergeants are exhausted... Our troops are not as strong as the opponent's, so we should hold our ground before we care about it.

Ling Ming, are you okay? "

Pound looked very embarrassed.

Cao Peng's concerned inquiry made Pang De feel even more ashamed.

"The last general is incompetent, and he was defeated by an old soldier."

"Hey, you can't say that... This Huang Hansheng is not someone to wait for.

Although this person is old, he is extremely brave and cannot be underestimated.I fought against him just now, if Liu Huming hadn't withdrawn his troops, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been his opponent if the fight continued.Now, let's hold our ground first.Zhengfang and I camped outside the city, and immediately sent someone to notify Boping, asking him to send someone to block the city wall first, and then come to see me.This battle may not be over in a short time, everyone should be more careful. "

At this time, Pound no longer had the arrogance he had earlier.

He and Li Yan quickly surrendered their hands and sent people to clean up the battlefield at the same time.

As for Cao Peng, he immediately set up camp outside Huyang City, with Li Yan's camp on the left and right, forming an effective defense against Huyang.

Setting sun, sunset.

The entire Huyang was shrouded in blood.

On the battlefield outside Huyang City, the wailing of the wounded echoed from time to time.The ownerless war horse wanders around, looking for the owner who has disappeared, which makes people feel heartbroken.

In the battle of Huyang, Jingzhou soldiers suffered more than a thousand casualties.

And Cao Jun's casualties were as many as six or seven hundred...

Cao Peng's flying camel soldiers also suffered losses, about thirty or forty.

Seeing the wounded soldiers being sent into Huyang City one by one, Cao Peng also felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

After the camp was built, Cao Peng sat in the big tent of the Chinese army.Kuai Zheng also rushed to see Cao Peng after arranging the affairs in the city.

"My lord, you come to Huyang, Wancheng, there won't be any accidents."

Li Yan asked worriedly, while Pang De also nodded repeatedly.

Cao Peng smiled, "Don't worry about Liu Bei for the time being. He is short of food and grass, and it is impossible to launch a large-scale war, so he can only stick to Wancheng. Moreover, I let Wen Chang command the troops, and I have Yang Zilu and Lu Ziheng's assistance is enough to stabilize the situation...

Besides, the battle of Huyang started, and the battle of Nanyang will also be transferred from Wancheng to Huyang.

Now Liu Bei is looking forward to dragging Liu Biao in, so he will calm down temporarily.And once Liu Biao sends troops, I am afraid we can only stick to the spot and not attack without authorization.Firstly, there are not so many troops, and secondly, Liu Biao also has prestige in Nanyang.His dispatch of troops will inevitably arouse the wait and see of the tyrants everywhere.Although those people are beginning to lean towards us, Liu Biao is the Lord of Jingzhou. "

When Cao Peng said this, he couldn't help showing a touch of bitterness and helplessness.

On the way to Huyang, he had been thinking about this question.The battle of Huyang broke out suddenly, which made Cao Peng's previous plans had to be temporarily stranded.However, is the battle of Huyang really Liu Biao's intention?If it wasn't Liu Biao's intention, if Liu Hu went to war without authorization, it would definitely change the situation.The pressure that Cao Peng has to bear will be countless more than before... How can he not worry?
However, Cao Peng is most worried about Huang Zhong in front of him.

This old pawn is brave and resourceful, and is a very tricky role.It is conceivable that Cao Peng will inevitably face tremendous pressure from Huang Zhong next.In terms of fighting on the battlefield, Cao Peng is not Huang Zhong's opponent.If Pang De hadn't been injured, the combination of the two might be able to resist Huang Zhong.But the problem is that Pang De is obviously injured now... He was shot by Huang Zhong during the surprise attack on Tangzi Township before, and then he went through a hard battle, and his injuries added to his injuries. It is by no means that he can recover in a short time.On your own... a bit dangerous.

Huang Zhong is 54 years old, but he doesn't look old at all.

Historically, when he was 60 years old, he was still able to fight Guan Gong evenly, which shows that his force value is amazing.

"Boping, Zhengfang, what can we do about Huang Zhong?"

It can be heard that Cao Peng attaches great importance to Huang Zhong, which also makes Kuai Zheng feel a lot more comfortable.He had reminded Pound before that he wanted Pang De to pay attention to Huang Zhong, but Pang De didn't care, and suffered a big loss in the end.Now Cao Peng's attitude is obviously very interested in that Huang Zhong.In this way, Kuai Zheng didn't remind Cao Peng again. After listening to Cao Peng's words, he thought for a while and replied: "In the early years, I heard people say that Huang Zhong has a strong temperament and cannot be defeated. But if you say If there is any countermeasure, I really can't say it, maybe Zhengfang can have an idea?"

Cao Peng noticed that Li Yan had been thinking deeply.

Hearing Kuai Zheng's words, Li Yan quickly raised his head and said, "I discovered something in the past two days, but I don't know if it's useful."

"Oh?"

"Liu Hu came to Huyang yesterday and launched an attack.

But Huang Zhong never showed up until today.I think, could it be that there is a conflict between Liu Hu and Huang Zhong? "

Pang De also said: "If the affirmative party doesn't say anything, I haven't noticed it yet.

That's right, when I joined the battle today, I didn't notice Huang Zhong appearing at first. "

"Contradictions... I'm afraid there is a little bit, but it shouldn't be too big." Kuai Zheng twisted his beard, showing a thoughtful expression, "However, Huang Zhong has always followed Liu Pan, and it is not Liu Hu's trilogy. As for Liu Hu, he has a very good face and is not very broad-minded. Huang Zhong didn't appear until the end, so it may not be because of any conflict between the two. I think it is very likely that Liu Hu is suppressing Huang Zhong...

After all, he was the coach of the Huyang battle, if Huang Zhong contributed too much, he might not feel honored on his face.

Well, suppression, I think it is very likely that Liu Hu is suppressing Huang Hanshen! "

Can only be outsmarted, but invincible?

After listening to the narration by Kuai Zheng and others, Cao Peng couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

"Boping, tell me about Liu Hu."

"Oh, it's easy... In the past few years, Uncle Fu and I lived in Xiangyang, and I know a little about Liu Hu. If Youxue wants to know, I will tell you." Speaking of Uncle Fu, Kuai Zheng's face But suddenly there was a look of sadness.Uncle Fu, his old housekeeper, lost his life in protecting Kuai Zheng on the top of the city today.The old butler has followed Kuai Zheng for many years and never left him.It can be said that during Kuai Zheng's most depressed years, if not for the presence of the old housekeeper, Kuai Zheng might not have been able to support him...

Think about it too, when Kuai Zheng was abandoned by his family, he had nothing.

Although he is a concubine, but he is still a young man, how can he know how to survive?How to do business, how to make money, he knows nothing.Fortunately, the old housekeeper was there, and Kuaizheng survived the most difficult stage by careful planning for him.Seeing that life is getting better now, but the old housekeeper lost his life before he could enjoy the blessings in the future.This made Kuai Zheng feel like, how can he be happy?

Fortunately, he clearly distinguishes the severity.

Hiding the sadness in his heart, Kuai Zheng talked endlessly, and introduced things about Liu Hu to Cao Peng...

Before you know it, it's almost midnight.

In the barracks, there was a sudden wind, which made people feel much cooler.

Li Yan stood up abruptly, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Yan has come up with an idea, maybe it can turn Liu Hu and Huang Zhong against each other."

"Oh?"

Cao Peng was overjoyed, and quickly leaned over and asked, "Zhengfang, would you like to hear more about it?"
