When Zhang Fei saw Cao Hong still holding his troops, he was also very upset.

Now that Ma Chao is watching, he is embarrassed to discuss with Ma Su again. He doesn't want to weaken his reputation under Ma Chao's nose.

In the Three Kingdoms, where talents emerge, Zhang Fei can become a famous general of a generation, so naturally he can't do it with his high martial arts skills alone.

In his rough and generous style, there is actually a delicate heart hidden. At critical moments, Zhang Fei often has a brilliant stroke.

The three armies of Cao Hong, Wu Lan and Zhang Fei were stationed in a straight triangle shape, maintaining a delicate balance.

If Cao Hong attacked, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao would be able to surround the Gushan Mountains, cut off the retreat route of Cao's army, and attack Wu Lan on both sides of the city.

If Cao Hong went to Gushan to attack Zhang Fei, not to mention the dangerous journey, nor could he prevent Wu Lan from intercepting his retreat. Even if Wu Lan lacks troops, as long as he keeps harassing the food road behind him, Cao's army will not be able to fight Zhang Fei with peace of mind.

Therefore, although Cao Hong had superior troops, he could only stop moving forward.

Zhang Fei had a sudden inspiration and simply adopted a deception strategy, posing a situation where he wanted to cut off the return of Cao's army, and made great efforts to recruit civilians and make preparations for cutting off Cao Hong's retreat, as if he was just waiting for Cao Hong's attack to distinguish.

Cao Hong was already very afraid of Zhang Fei, who was extremely brave, and now he had a Ma Chao helper. The army was very terrifying and he really fooled Cao Hong.

So, Cao Hong ordered the camp to be stationed and confronted Zhang Fei and Wu Lan from afar. From time to time, unfavorable rumors came, which made Cao's soldiers panic and their morale fluctuated.

After knowing Zhang Fei's intention to cut off the retreat, Cao Hong, the nominal coach, naturally couldn't make up his mind, so he turned his inquiry eyes to Cao Xiu. The time to test Cao Xiu!

Cao Hong dared not advance, and the opportunity for the fight was fleeting.

At this critical moment, after careful consideration, Cao Xiu finally saw the essence of Zhang Fei's strength outside and doing things in the middle, and stood up and said:

"Zhang Fei is bluffing! His military strength is less than one-fifth of ours. If we really want to cut off our return route, we should ambush the troops and sneak. Now he is making a big splash, which means that he will definitely not go and does not have the ability to cut off our return route. He is likely to be waiting for the reinforcements behind him to arrive. Our army should take advantage of the fact that its army has not yet gathered in Wudu, throw away all its concerns and rush to attack. As long as he defeats Wu Lan's occupation, Zhang Fei will naturally retreat."

After hearing this, Cao Hong thought that what Cao Xiu said was very reasonable, as the nominal coach, he still did not dare to issue an offensive order. Once he failed, Cao Xiu would not bear the responsibility for the failure!

Cao Hong could not blatantly hand over the decision-making power to Cao Xiu, so he thought of a way to let his generals share the responsibility together. So he beat the drum and gathered the generals to ask for the opinions of the generals.

All the generals also felt that Cao Xiu's words were reasonable and agreed with Cao Xiu's judgment. So Cao Hong ordered the entire army to be dispatched and attacked directly.

The detailed work sent by Zhang Fei soon discovered the movements of Cao Hongjun and reported to Zhang Fei.

Seeing that his plan was effective, Zhang Fei's complacent spirit had not yet passed, and suddenly remembered that for the sake of security, he did not notify Wu Lan in advance.

Wu Lan didn't know that she was bluffing, so she would definitely stick to the point of being discerning.

The city defense at Xiabian was not strong and could not be held firm. Zhang Fei immediately sent a confidant guard to inform Wu Lan to withdraw his troops quickly.

Although Zhang Fei and Ma Chao are extremely brave, they will not use their less than 10,000 county soldiers to defeat Cao Hong's 50,000 elite troops.

Cao Cao made great contributions to Cao Xiu, but he made a lot of money and his invincible Tiger and Leopard Cavalry took him away.

Zhang Fei and Ma Chao are both famous generals of the world. Both of them cherish their feathers very much. Although Wu Lan is in a dangerous situation, they dare not take risks and lead the troops to respond.

But it is unreasonable to let them conquer Wu Lan, Ren Kui's two thousand soldiers and horses ignored him and is easily criticized.

Not long after the commander left, Zhang Fei remembered the terrifying combat power of the tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Xiu. If Wu Lan cannot escape in time and is bitten by Cao Xiu's tiger and leopard cavalry, it will be more and more evil.

After discussing with Ma Chao, he decided to send another thousand troops to lead Lei Tong to support him. Even if the army is defeated, it doesn’t matter. Just save the lives of a few generals.

Sure enough, Zhang Fei's plan allowed Cao Xiu to see through, but Wu Lan, who insisted on the decision, believed it and kept thinking about how to cooperate with Zhang Fei, but did not realize his own dangerous situation.

When the people sent by Zhang Fei ordered the withdrawal of troops, time was already very tight. Wu Lan and Ren Kuigang led their troops out of the city not far away, and they saw Cao Hong's army from afar.

Although Cao Hong was a man of alcohol and sex, he was not ambiguous when he really arrived on the battlefield. After he decided to attack Xiabian, he was not afraid of danger and took the lead and rushed to Xiabian.

Seeing that they could surround Xiabian City less than ten miles away, Wu Lan and Ren Kui became turtles in the jar, and their contributions were as good as they could.

But Cao Hong discovered that Wu Lan and Ren Kui's army had already left the city and retreated towards Gushan. He didn't expect that he would hurry up and be late.

Seeing Cao Hong's army coming from afar, Wu Lan was ordered to retreat and wanted to retreat faster, but another general Ren Kui was unwilling to retreat without fighting.

Ren Kui has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has practiced good martial arts!

In the competition with peers, it can be said that it is invincible.

After entering the army, he often competed with his colleagues, and never failed. He believed that his martial arts had entered the ranks of first-class military generals.

When Liu Bei attacked Xichuan, he was eager to try in the army and wanted to make achievements on the battlefield.

However, because the Ren family has a good relationship with Fa Zheng and others, they are the ones who support Liu Bei, he was bound by the family and did not get the opportunity to join the battle.

After Liu Bei pacified Xichuan, he rewarded the heroes. Ren Kui relied on his qualifications and martial arts to obtain the position of Ya General under the operation of his family.

However, many of the other children in the family who did not receive official positions were dissatisfied with him and complained about him.

This time Ren Kui followed Ma Chao to attack Wudu, which can be said to be the first time in his life to lead troops to fight in a true sense. He retreated without fighting, so he naturally felt unwilling to accept it, so he said to Wu Lan:

"If the bandits arrived at the beginning, if they did not slapped their spirit first, even if the army retreated unscathed, they would have no face to see General Ma Chao!"

So, despite Wu Lan's dissuasion, Ren Kui suddenly pushed his horse and fought against Cao Hong.

Cao Hong was extremely brave and once against Ma Chao, and had a lot of experience in fighting. From Ren Kui's actions on horseback, he had long seen that Ren Kui's martial arts were a flowery style and was a junior brother who had never been on the battlefield.
