    Dian Wei and Cao Zhang got into a fight, but Cao Zhang could hold on at first.

    But since the injury he suffered last time has not healed yet, his strength naturally cannot be fully unleashed.

    And on the day when Qia Qia was injured, Dian Wei was also there to witness it.

    So at this moment, Dian Wei specifically greeted Cao Zhang's wound, forcing Cao Zhang to keep defending and always at a disadvantage.

    The battle gradually continued, and the pain in Cao Zhang's wound gradually came over, making him fight against Dian Wei.

    You have to fight hard to suppress the pain and stimulation coming from the wound.

    In this way, it will naturally be more difficult for Cao Zhang to exert his strength.

    On the other hand, Dian Wei became more and more courageous as he fought. He kept slashing with the giant ax, and finally cut off Cao Zhang's weapon with a click.

    Once a general loses his weapon, it is like a tiger having its claws removed.

    So when Cao Zhang saw this, he no longer dared to continue the fight, so he turned around and ran away.

    When Dian Wei saw this, he charged and killed again. Finally, Cao Zhang was able to leave after leaving hundreds of corpses behind.

    Although they are embarrassed, their goal has been achieved.

    After this battle, Dian Wei's army was seriously injured, and almost everyone suffered losses.

    The most important thing is that after the opponent's struggle, Cao Cao was able to take advantage of this gap to distance himself.

    After dealing with Cao Zhang¡¯s threat, Dian Wei quickly searched for traces of the fleeing army.

    But after being disturbed by Cao Zhang, many traces were mixed together, and for a while it was impossible to tell whether it came from Cao Cao or Cao Zhang.

    Dian Wei was naturally unwilling to give up easily, so he could only try both.

    But in this way, Dian Wei's tracking speed will naturally be greatly reduced, and Cao Cao will have time to escape.

    After Cao Zhangrao made a big circle, he finally reunited with Cao Cao.

    And Dian Wei, who was still struggling to find his way, had been thrown far away and could not catch up in a short time.

    Until this moment, Cao Cao finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then he thought that all his tens of thousands of troops were lost to his opponents.

    There were 250,000 troops in this expedition, but now there are only less than 10,000 who are still with him.

    How could such a situation not make Cao Cao extremely sad?

    Although Cao Cao didn't say anything, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

    When Cao Zhang saw this, he wanted to step forward to comfort him, but after thinking for a long time he didn¡¯t know what to say, so he had to give up.

    Fortunately, it didn¡¯t last long, and in the afternoon of the second day, the army finally broke out of the mountains.

    In front of them, a small city stood, but it made these Cao soldiers extremely excited.

    The guard general of Pengyang City is named Wang Ling, and he is a talented general with both civil and military skills.

    It¡¯s just that he was not a direct descendant of Cao Cao, so he was unable to participate in the decisive battle between Cao and Liu at first, and was assigned to garrison in Pengyang.

    ¡°But in this way, it allowed him to escape and be safe.

    However, Wang Ling's mood has not been good these days.

    Because he had already heard about the decisive battle in Yi Ju Beiyuan, and the news of Cao's army's defeat spread throughout the city.

    Now the soldiers in the city are all filled with a dark cloud, fearing that Liu Ke will come to capture Pengyang after cleaning up the mess.

    Because all the cities in the southern part of Beidi County are now owned by Liu Ke, and several cities in Anding County have been occupied by him.

    Nowadays, in this large area, only the city of Pengyang is still owned by Cao Jun.

    In this situation, it is absolutely impossible for the other party to let it go on for a long time, and it must be conquered as soon as possible.

    Therefore, Wang Ling became more and more anxious.

    If you want to resist, you only have 5,000 soldiers. How can you compete with the opponent's 300,000 troops?

    But if you abandon the city and flee, you will inevitably be severely punished.

    ¡°After all, no matter what time it is, those who flee without fighting will be subject to the most severe military law.

    Wang Ling even thought of surrendering directly to Liu Ke.

    He was born in the Wang family, a prominent family in Taiyuan, and now it has long belonged to Liu Ke's territory, and many people in the family are serving under Liu Ke.

    "But Wang Ling is a proud man and has always strictly respected Confucian dogma. How could he betray his master?"

    Just when Wang Ling was in a difficult decision-making situation, his sergeants suddenly rushed in to report.

    "Report, sir, the scouts have discovered the movement of Liu Ke's army twenty miles south of the city. It is expected to arrive at the city tomorrow!"

    "Whatwhat?! It came so fast!"Wang Ling was shocked when he heard this and murmured to himself.

    Then, he finally came to his senses and quickly ordered: "Hurry, order the whole city to be on alert and defend!"

    His men took the order and left, but Wang Ling was still worried and kept pacing in the room, thinking about how to deal with it.

    At this time, Cao Cao's army finally arrived at the city.

    The city had just received news that Liu Ke's army was about to attack, and saw such an army approaching the city. How could it not be nervous?

    Therefore, an alarm sounded instantly on top of the city, and the whole city quickly got ready.

    The piercing siren immediately woke Wang Ling up, and he rushed to the top of the city to check the situation.

    Wang Ling breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a team slowly approaching not far away. The number of people was less than ten thousand.

    I saw a small group of people walking out of the team and quickly arrived in front of the city.

    He shouted to the city: "Guardian on the city, open the city gate quickly!"

    Wang Ling saw this and said unceremoniously: "Who are you? You are attacking my city. If you don't retreat quickly, be careful of my bow and arrow!"

    Originally, both parties were wearing the same clothes, and Wang Ling should have been able to recognize them from the beginning.

    But after several days of marching in the deep mountains and old forests, Cao Jun¡¯s clothes were also hung in tatters.

    Nowadays, there are not many people with intact clothes. They are like beggars on the run.

    No wonder even Wang Ling despised him.

    However, as soon as Wang Ling spoke, Cao Zhang recognized his voice.

    The two of them had some friendship on weekdays, so Cao Zhang quickly said: "Is this Yan Yun in the city? Don't you even recognize me?"

    Wang Ling was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly went to the top of the city to check.

    At this moment, Cao Zhang also took off his helmet, tidied up his appearance a little, and wiped away the blood on his face before Wang Ling finally recognized him.

    "Ha, it's actually Ziwen? Why do you look like this? I almost didn't recognize you before."

    Seeing that it was Cao Zhang, Wang Ling quickly ordered the city gate to be opened.

    When he heard that Wei King Cao Cao was behind him, he was so frightened that he rushed down to the city and went to the roadside to greet him personally.

    Cao Cao did not blame Wang Ling for making things difficult at the beginning, but praised him very much for his cautious approach.

    And Wang Ling¡¯s face was also very excited.

    It¡¯s not that he was appreciated by King Wei, but because now that King Wei has entered the city, he can finally hand over the heavy burden on his shoulders.

    It turns out that Wang Ling was torn between whether to fight, surrender or escape.

    Now he doesn¡¯t need to worry about all this anymore, everything is just arranged by the king.

    So Wang Ling simply handed over the entire city defense to Cao Zhang and stayed in front of the tent to listen to him.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
