At this moment, Guo Jia, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly coughed violently.

Seeing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel nervous, and hurriedly jumped off the horse, helped Guo Jia, and asked with concern: "Fengxiao, how do you feel?"

Guo Jia coughed for a while, then shook his head and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I'm fine." After speaking, Guo Jia couldn't help coughing again.

Cao Cao couldn't help frowning, and his expression looked extremely worried. "Fengxiao, or I will send someone to send you back to Yanzhou, you are not in good health, I am afraid that I will not be able to stand the pain of the march!" Cao Cao is treacherous and often does things that are hypocritical, but at this time, Cao Cao's expression and demeanor are completely from the heart. Guo Jia is not only a talent who can help Cao Cao win the world, but also Cao Cao's confidant.

Guo Jia finally stopped coughing, he smiled and showed a touched look, and said, "My lord doesn't need to worry about me, it's just a minor illness." This time, I will help the lord no matter what, this battle is very important, and there is no room for loss!

Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh, nodded, and didn't say anything more. Then he instructed the soldiers who protected the carriage to take care of Guo Jia.

An hour later, in the evening, Cao Cao's army appeared in the field of vision of the Northern Army. The northern army saw from a distance that Cao Cao's army began to cut down trees and set up camp.

What the Northern Army didn't see was that another Cao Cao army was lying in ambush not far away.

That night, Cao Cao's army was nervously waiting for the northern army to come and rob the camp, and Cao Cao's army could be said to be fully prepared, once the northern army came, it would fall into the net.

However, the whole night passed, and not even a single figure appeared in the Northern Army. However, Cao Cao was not disappointed, after all, there was nothing wrong with being careful.

"Fengxiao, why didn't you say that the Northern Army didn't come to rob the camp? Could it be that when they saw my army of 300,000, they were afraid! In the handsome tent, Cao Cao said a little proudly.

Guo Jia on the side shook his head, "I'm afraid not necessarily." The courage of the Northern Army is unparalleled in the world! How can you fear the enemy? I think the reason why they didn't come to rob the camp was because they expected our army to set up an ambush!

Cao Cao couldn't help frowning and nodded.

Cao Cao did not rush to attack the city, but ordered all armies to hold the camp and not fight for the time being.

Cao Cao's 300,000 troops pressed Huguan, and Huguan only had 40,000 defenders, and the situation at Huguan was very critical. In this case, ordinary people will never take the initiative. However, on the second day after Cao Cao's army set up camp outside Huguan Pass, Zhang Fei, as the commander of Huguan, only led hundreds of horsemen out of the pass and came to Cao Jun's camp to challenge.

That high-spirited and confident appearance didn't seem to take the 300,000 Cao army in his eyes at all.

Don't think that Zhang Fei's appearance in the battle was a reckless move made by Zhang Fei under impulse, in fact, this action was also agreed by Tian Feng. Tian Feng believes that Cao's army is powerful, and if he is allowed to do it, he is afraid that it will be quite unfavorable to his own side, so he must find ways to frustrate Cao's army's spirit. Cao Jun is tired from afar, so it is better to take this opportunity to challenge, and only need to kill or defeat a few of his generals to achieve his goal.

Zhang Fei led hundreds of horsemen to Cao Jun's Dazhai and scolded the challenge. A moment later, a sergeant reported this information to Cao Cao.

So Cao Cao hurriedly led a group of generals to the Yuanmen. Looking out, I saw a tower-like giant man with a steel needle beard on his face shouting and scolding, and his momentum was so great that people couldn't help but be afraid.

Seeing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but be shocked, and muttered to himself: "It's really a tiger general!"

At this time, Zhang Fei also saw Cao Cao at the gate, so he immediately pointed the finger at Cao Cao, and scolded in a louder voice: "Cao thief, you shrunken turtle!" Do you dare to fight your Grandpa Zhang for 300 rounds?

Cao Cao was so angry that he immediately shouted to the generals around him: "Who is going to kill this madman for me?" "

The generals have asked for battle, and the crowd is extremely excited.

Seeing this, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing and said, "I have all the generals, why worry about the big thing!"

At this time, Cao Cao's general Xiahou dun lined up to ask for battle: "Lord, let me go out to fight and dedicate my head in front of the tent!"

Cao Cao saw that it was Xiahoudun who spoke, so he said happily: "Yuan let the horse go, and he will definitely be able to succeed!" Seeing

that Cao Cao agreed, Xiahou should even go out to fight across the horse. However, at this moment, a subordinate general suddenly stepped forward and said: "Lord, General Xiahou is a general in the army, and General Xiahou is really exalting the other party when he fights!" As the saying goes, 'Kill the chicken with a knife!' It's better to let the youngster come out! "。 The person who said this was an unknown general under Cao Cao, named Kong Xiu. This man had taken refuge with Cao Cao not long ago, and because of his good martial arts, he was appointed as a general. Although he is a general, his status in the army is not high, and he cannot be compared with Xiahoudun and others. The reason why he was so active in asking for war was that he wanted to make military exploits in order to improve his status in Cao Cao's army.

Kong Xiu's words were very appropriate, not only expressing his willingness to ask for battle, but also praising Xiahoudun and Cao Cao. Therefore, Xiahoudun on the side was not angry, but looked smiling.

Cao Cao showed a thoughtful expression, and after a while, he said happily: "Since General Kong is so eager to fight, I will allow you to fight!"

Kong Xiu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and thanked: "Thank you, lord!" The last general will be beheaded, and the head will be dedicated to the tent!

Immediately, Kong Xiu stepped on the war horse led by his subordinates, carried a big knife, and Pegasus left the village.

Kong Xiu stepped onto the war horse, Pegasus came out of the camp, and hundreds of soldiers followed closely behind. As soon as Kong Xiu came out of the camp, the war drums in the camp rang out violently.

Kong Xiu rode his horse to dozens of steps in front of Zhang Feima, raised his big knife and pointed at Zhang Fei and asked, "Come and report your name!" I don't kill the unknown general under the knife of Kong Xiu! "。 Kong Xiu's momentum is good, and he has a bit of a majestic taste, but just shouting at Zhang Fei with his slightly thin body makes people feel weird no matter how you look at it.

Zhang Fei looked Kong Xiu up and down a few times, and then grinned and laughed. There was a hint of mockery in the laughter.

"Cao Thief, are all your generals such monkeys?" Zhang Fei didn't pay attention to Kong Xiu at all, but turned his head to look at Cao Cao at the gate and laughed.

When Cao Cao and his generals saw this, their faces became very ugly.

In fact, Kong Xiu's figure is still quite majestic, but in front of Zhang Fei, he looks a little thin and thin, but it is not as exaggerated as Zhang Fei said. The reason why Zhang Fei said this was completely to take the opportunity to humiliate Cao Cao.

Kong Xiu, who was immediately in front of Zhang Fei, saw that the other party didn't put himself in his eyes at all, and he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and his face turned red.

"Since you don't dare to report your name, I won't force you!" Kong Xiu said a word angrily, and then rode his horse towards Zhang Fei to kill.

Zhang Fei retracted his gaze and fixed his gaze on Kong Xiu's body, and a terrifying killing aura suddenly emanated from Zhang Fei's body.

Seeing this, Kong Xiu couldn't help but be startled, and he couldn't help but pause when he was about to launch an impact.

Xiahoudun, who was watching the battle at the gate, originally looked very relaxed, but at this time, his complexion suddenly changed greatly. In addition to him, Xu Chu and Xiahou Yuan, who followed Cao Cao's side, also had their faces changed greatly.

Although the others suddenly felt their hearts tighten, they showed blank expressions on their faces.

This situation is actually not surprising, because only a martial artist of the same level can really feel the subtle changes in the opponent's momentum. At this moment, in the eyes of Xiahoudun and others, Kong Xiu was like a lamb under the claws of a fierce tiger.

"Lord, hurry up and recall Kong Xiu, otherwise he will die!" Xiahoudun said to Cao Cao anxiously.

Cao Cao couldn't help but be slightly shocked when he saw Xiahoudun in such a situation. He trusted Xiahoudun's judgment, but he did not immediately order the soldiers to be called, for the simple reason that if his side retreated without a fight, the blow to morale would be greater than the defeat.

Even if Kong Xiu is defeated, it is better to let him die on the battlefield than to flee without a fight! Cao Cao thought so in his heart, and a ruthless and resolute look flashed in his eyes.

"Since General Kong Xiu dared to ask for his life to fight, he must still be sure. What's more, retreating before fighting is not good for the morale of the army. Don't be impatient, just take a look and talk about it. Cao Cao frowned and said in a deep voice.

"But..." Xiahoudun still wanted to persuade him. How did Xiahoudun know what Cao Cao was thinking in his heart, he just wanted to tell Cao Cao that Kong Xiu had no chance of winning at all.

Cao Cao's face showed displeasure, his eyes widened, and he said in a low voice: "Yuan Rang, I have already decided, don't say more!"

Seeing this, Xiahoudun had to swallow the second half of the words back into his stomach. He didn't want to, let alone dare to disobey Cao Cao's orders.

At this moment, the soldiers at the gate suddenly let out an exclamation. There was a clear sense of fear in the exclamation.

Xiahoudun and Cao Cao hurriedly looked outside the gate, only to see that the two war horses had staggered past, but only the fierce general of the other party was left on the horse, and Kong Xiu's war horse was empty.

Seeing this scene, Xiahoudun and Cao Cao couldn't help but be shocked.

"What's going on?" Cao Cao asked Xu Chu beside him in a deep voice.

Xu Chu hurriedly hugged his fists and reported: "Just now, when the opponent's fierce general was at its peak, he suddenly rode a horse and attacked, Kong Xiu couldn't react in time, and was killed by the opponent with a spear!"

Cao Cao's face suddenly turned ugly, although he was mentally prepared for this result, he didn't expect Kong Xiu to be killed by the other party in one move. Cao Cao was a little annoyed in his heart, but this anger was not aimed at Zhang Fei, but at Kong Xiu, who was already dead, because Kong Xiu would definitely damage his own spirit if he defeated so cleanly.

"Lord, let me go and meet that general of the Northern Army!" Xiahou Xuanhao asked for war. Xiahoudun called Zhang Fei a general at this time, not because he already knew the identity of the other party, but because Xiahoudun naturally raised his respect based on the momentum and martial arts shown by Zhang Fei. Although Zhang Fei had participated in the battle of the Nineteenth Route Princes against Dong Zhuo with Chen Chu, Zhang Fei did not have much reputation in the Central Plains at that time, so Cao Cao's side did not notice him, and Cao Jun's attention at that time was all on Guan Yu, who beheaded Huaxiong.

When Cao Cao saw Xiahou asking for battle, he was suddenly happy in his heart, and then a trace of worry rose. Happily, Xiahoudun will definitely be able to kill the enemy general when he goes out to fight; The worry is that if there is an emergency, then Cao ** will have to break off an arm.
