In the third year of Jian 'an, Cao Ang, the later general, served as the general of Sikong. He and Xu Huang, the general of Bi, led their troops to Yingchuan and Lushan and went straight to Wancheng. Although Cao Ang was the main general in this battle, Xu Huang's ability was outstanding. Ever since he joined Cao Cao's camp in the first year, he had been deeply praised by Cao Cao. Therefore, Cao Ang was deeply convinced by his opinion.
Xu Huang had a refined and refined appearance. He looked like a middle-aged scholar who had read a lot of books. His three strands of black hair fluttered in the wind and were combed very neatly. He wore a white robe and armor, and a lion belt around his waist. In his hand was a wide axe. The front part of the axe revealed a sharp awl-like blade, which made one feel fear in their hearts.

"General Xu, in your opinion, how should we repel the enemy in this battle?”Along the way, Cao Ang and Xu Huang had a good conversation. Xu Huang was straightforward and upright, and he was well-versed in the art of war and military strategies. Cao Ang had a lot to learn from his conversations along the way.
"Hahahaha!" Xu Huang laughed heartily and said loudly,"Then what should we do according to the general's wishes?”The two of them had become very familiar with each other over the past few days. Cao Ang chuckled and said,"It was Cao Ang who asked the general first. Why are you asking me instead?”
"Hahaha, General is the leader, Xu Huang is the second.”Cao Ang looked at Xu Huang's laughter and couldn't help but smile helplessly. Then, he said in a deep voice,"In Cao Ang's opinion, we should retreat Cai Mao's troops and stabilize Jingzhou.”
Hearing this, Xu Huang seemed to be extremely interested and chuckled."General, your words are interesting. However, we are only driving the enemy away, not seizing the Jing State. Why do you say that we want to stabilize the Jing State?”
Hearing this, Cao Ang smiled back." General Xu, Jingzhou is a vast land with abundant resources. The country is rich and the people are strong. When do you think is the best time for us to recover this place?"”Xu Huang stroked his beard and smiled.”
Cao Ang nodded." If that's the case, then how can we keep Jingzhou outside of the north and not become enemies with us before the north is settled?"”Xu Huang was one of the Five Generals of Cao Wei. As long as Cao Ang pointed out a few words, he immediately understood. He nodded and said,"That's right, retreating the enemy is a small matter, but we can't be too ruthless and form a huge grudge with Liu Biao. As such, this scale was not easy to grasp.”
"That's right," Cao Ang said with a smile,"so we need to plan this matter carefully." If Cao Ang's calculation is correct, if he wants to be at peace with Liu Biao, I'm afraid this matter will have to depend on Cai Mao.”

Several days later, the army arrived at Wan City. At this time, Zhang Xiu's army and Cai Mao's army had a few probing battles, each with their own victories and defeats. When Cao Ang, Xu Huang, and Sima Yi arrived at the city gate, Zhang Xiu personally came out to welcome them." Haha, Eldest Young Master, you've traveled a long way. I've prepared some wine to welcome you. Eldest Young Master, please!”
Cao Ang couldn't help but shake his head and smile. He walked into Wan City with Zhang Xiu and the others. Along the way, a burly man behind Zhang Xiu attracted Cao Ang's attention. He had a tiger beard, sharp muscles, dark complexion, and rough skin. He had some qualities of a fierce warrior.
"Eldest Young Master, this time, the Jingzhou army has come in a menacing manner and is quite difficult to resist. I have fought with them several times, and it can be said that the outcome is evenly matched.”At the banquet, Zhang Xiu asked Cao Ang for advice.
"General Zhang, I wonder why Liu Biao didn't personally lead the army?”Zhang Xiu saw a handsome young man with a refined temperament asking him a question and couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Cao Ang introduced,""This is the commander of my army, Sima Yi from Hanoi, his surname is Zhong Da.”
Zhang Xiu smiled and said," So it's Mr. Sima. Nice to meet you. Zhang Xiu used to be in an alliance with Liu Biao and had some friendship with him. I think Liu Biao remembered the old friendship and did not come personally."”Xu Huang, who had been drinking and laughing, said,"Hahaha, Liu Jingsheng is a sentimental person. He really lives up to his reputation as one of the eight handsome men in Jiangxia!”Cao Ang thought to himself, In this world, it is impossible to survive with just elegance and loyalty. However, this has given me a good opportunity!”
"General Xu, the enemy has come from afar to attack the city. If we don't fight, we are showing weakness! Since we are here today, we will fight with Cai Mao first to dampen his spirit and then make a good plan.”Hearing Cao Ang's words, Xu Huang smiled and said,"General, you are right. In this first battle, we can try out the effects of that new item.”
Cao Ang smiled knowingly. Although Zhang Xiu didn't know what he meant, he still stood up and said politely,"Zhang Xiu is also willing to fight with Eldest Young Master!”
————
Three days later, Cai Mao received Cao Ang's letter of challenge and immediately set off to Wan City to fight the Cao army. At this time, Cao Ang and Xu Huang were also fully prepared. The city gates of Wan City opened, and a group of soldiers instantly set up their formation. The person in the lead had a friendly smile on his face. He held a three-pointed double-edged sword and wore chain mail. It was the rear general Cao Ang. He and Sima Yi behind him were protected by Dian Man, Xu Yi, and the other Tiger Warriors. They gathered together and walked out. The generals behind them were led by Xu Huang and Zhang Xiu. The general's aura was magnificent, far from what ordinary soldiers could compare to.
From the opposite camp, a red-robed general with a silver helmet on his head rode out, escorted by a group of Jing and Xiang generals. It was Cai Mao. Cai Mao looked at the mighty and orderly Cao Cao army, which was filled with killing intent, and could not help but feel some fear in his heart. The Qingzhou soldiers truly lived up to their reputation!
However, thinking was just thinking, he still had to put in a lot of effort on the surface. Cai Mao steadied his mind and then shouted,"All of you soldiers, listen up. Wan City belongs to Jing Xiang. As the Lord of Jing Zhou, my Lord Liu Jingsheng has the right to deploy the garrison. If Zhang Xiu withdraws from the city now and gives up Wan City, our two families will naturally stop fighting and not offend each other. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and attacking the city and seizing the land!”
Cao Ang smiled and said," General Cai, you are wrong. All the land under the sky is the land of the king, and all the land on the shore is the land of the king. Zhang Xiu is the prefect of Wancheng, who was appointed by the emperor himself. Since when does Liu Jingsheng have the final say?" If Liu Jingsheng doesn't show up, what are you?”
In terms of bickering, how could Cai Mao be Cao Ang's match? His face was flushed red as he gritted his teeth and said,"Good kid! Stop your nonsense. Who will help me capture this thief?”
"I'm willing to go!" As soon as he finished speaking, a general rode out from Cai Mao's left. It was his Jingzhou general, Wang Wei. Zhang Xiu gave him a look and saw the burly man who Cao Ang had looked at yesterday. He waved his knife and rode out." Who is this?"”Cao Ang asked Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu smiled and said,"Young Master, this is Hu Che 'er from my tent.”
"Oh!" Cao Ang slightly nodded. So he was Hu Che 'er. On the battlefield, Hu Che' er and Su Fei were fighting back and forth, attacking each other for more than 30 rounds. Hu Che 'er raised his knife and chopped off Su Fei's spear. Cao Ang couldn't help but praise,"Good!"
Su Fei rode back, and Zhang Xiu called Hu Che 'er back. Cao Ang laughed and said,""General Hu, you have such good skills." Hu Che 'er stopped his horse and said,"General, you praise me too much!"”
Xu Huang laughed and said,"Hahaha, this general is very skilled. General, Xu Huang requests permission to fight!"”Cao Ang turned to look at the smug Zhang Xiu and thought to himself, If I don't let you experience it, I'm afraid you'll underestimate the generals of Cao's camp.
"That enemy general! Come out and die!" Seeing Su Fei defeated, Cai Mao's expression was unfriendly. Vice General Wang Wei of the Jing State army rode out with a long saber in his hand. He shouted from afar and challenged Hu Che 'er to battle.
Xu Huang held a huge axe and flew towards Li Hua, riding his horse and saying,""Hahaha, don't shout like that, wait for me to come and teach you a lesson.”Wang Wei saw the general's outstanding demeanor and said with a serious expression,"Wang Wei, who are you here for? Quickly report your name!”
"I'm Xu Huang under Sikong. Brat, bring it on!”Xu Huang slowly raised the axe in his hand. He looked weak, but in reality, he was ready to fight.
"Come on!" Wang Wei raised his saber, and Xu Huang calmly swung his greataxe at Wang Wei's weapon. Immediately, Wang Wei's saber attack was negated. Then, the greataxe followed the previous path and increased its speed, instantly slashing at Wang Wei. "Ah!"
In just one round, half of Wang Wei's body had been smashed to the ground, dying on the spot. The Jing State army was shocked. Who was this enemy general? He was actually so powerful. The seemingly heavy axe in his hand was actually as messy as a feather. For a moment, both sides were shocked.
"What a thief! Watch me avenge Wang Wei!" Among the Jingzhou army, General Zhang Yun rode out with a spear and came to fight Xu Huang. As for Xu Huang, he laughed out loud and swung the giant axe in his hand as he fought Zhang Yun. In less than twenty rounds, Zhang Yun's saber techniques were scattered and his strength was exhausted. He was about to be defeated!
"How arrogant!" Another general came out. It was General Chen Jiu of Jing. He held a long saber and pincered Xu Huang with Zhang Yun. In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged more than ten blows. The two of them panted slightly, but Xu Huang looked unworried. He still defended tightly with his axe.
"I'm coming!" Seeing Xu Huang's bravery, another general appeared from the Jingzhou army. It was the partial general Deng Long. The three generals fought Xu Huang alone, and the shadows of sabers, spears, and axes flew in the air. It was a dizzying sight. Cao Ang saw that Xu Huang was able to fight against three generals and was still able to hold on, and he couldn't help but be secretly amazed!
"We're coming!" The two enemy generals appeared again. They were Cai Mao's younger brother, Cai Zhong and Cai He. Seeing this, Zhang Xiu said angrily,""Cai Mao is so shameless, actually using generals like this! Are you trying to bully me?" After saying that, he wanted to force himself out.
At this moment, Xu Huang suddenly let out a long laugh and returned to his horse."What a good way to win with numbers. The Jing State army is indeed impressive. Xu Huang is no match for them.”
"Don't leave, I want to avenge Wang Wei!”Chen Jiu saw Xu Huang return to his horse and thought that he was exhausted from fighting against so many enemies. He quickly caught up with Xu Huang. Suddenly, Xu Huang stood up on his horse, holding a cold axe in his hand. He pulled the reins, turned around, and swung the axe down. Chen Jiu's head was shattered, and blood splattered everywhere. His headless body stood upright for a moment before he slowly fell down.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Huang had single-handedly defeated several people and chopped down two generals with his axe. His martial arts skills were so powerful that it shocked the generals and soldiers of the two armies. However, his expression was still the same as before. He stroked his beard and laughed, causing the Jing State army to shudder.
"General, General Xu has killed the enemy general and the enemy is terrified. This is the best time to send troops to defeat the enemy.”Sima Yi whispered into Cao Ang's ear. Cao Ang smiled and nodded slowly,""That's right. If we want to negotiate with Cai Mao, we must first show our strength. Only then will we have the capital to negotiate!" After he finished speaking, Cao Ang waved his three-pointed double-edged sword and the middle army dispersed. A group of cavalrymen with thousands of cavalrymen appeared in front of the formation. These cavalrymen were dressed in bright and beautiful armor. Each of them had a cold expression on their faces and their bodies were filled with a murderous aura that made people feel a chill. The horses were as neat as a cloud, and dust flew under their hooves. What was hard to notice was that this cavalry had a pair of stirrers under their feet. The saber in their hands was extremely curved, and the handle was extremely short. Cao Ang smiled slightly, and a chill rose in his eyes. The Meteor Hall's first batch of test subjects will be your Jing State Army!
