In the early morning of the second day, the mist slowly dissipated. While many people were sleeping, the soldiers in the camps on both sides had already begun to prepare their troops and prepare for the new war.

When the mist slowly dissipated, the sky was not cleared. It was not the kind of sunny weather. It was always cloudy today.

Under the melancholy sky of the rare autumn of this year, the soldiers of the Chu army, composed of red armored infantry and cavalry, were arrayed on the southern hill of Nanshan. The word "Chu" on the Dahu flag was still faintly visible.

The hilltop to the north of the main battlefield was covered with darkness, and the regiments with black flags and armor were arranged neatly under the banner of "Cao" in order to stand ready.

Those Cao troops looked angrily at the Chu troops on the hilltop to the south, ready to charge and kill them at any time.

The Chu army at the foot of the mountain in the south gathered into two formations of infantry and cavalry. They looked at Cao's army at the foot of the mountain in the north with equal anger, and were also ready to attack at any time. The two sides faced each other to the death, and neither side was not prepared to attack and kill.

There was no charge from either side, as if the two armies were staring at each other like two tigers.

Cao Cao sat opposite and looked at the military formation in front of him. He couldn't help but admire him: "You are really a good boy?"

The commander beside him, Lu Chang, asked: "Prime Minister, why are you praising this so-called King of Chu before the battle begins?"

Cao Cao pointed to the Chu army's phalanx and said: "Look, although the Chu army only has 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers, those 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers are actually scattered and orderly. You see, there is a large infantry formation in the center, with cavalry on both sides to protect the flanks."

, and everyone is wearing bright armor, and their military formation can best prevent the enemy from sneak attacks from the flanks. Once they encounter the central position and encounter a fierce battle, they can detour from both wings. It is really wonderful, wonderful...

…”

Cao Cao led the way and said: "Go over and pass the order to me. I want to meet this King of Chu?"

"yes."

At this time, the messenger chief led several soldiers to the Chu army's formation.

Nie Zefeng was in the center of the army, surrounded by Jia Xu, Ma Liang, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, Wenpin, Pei Yuanshao and others.

Looking at the fast horses coming from the other side, Jia Xu gestured slightly: "Shoot them for me?"

Nie Zefeng dissuaded and ordered: "Stop it and see what they mean."

At this time, several fast horses approached and shouted loudly: "Prime Minister, I want to have a drink with the King of Chu. I wonder what the King of Chu wants?"

Nie Zefeng thought for a while and sent a message to the messenger commander next to him. After hearing the order, he loudly replied: "My King of Chu is willing to speak with Prime Minister Cao."

After Nie Zefeng received it, he said to Zhao Yun: "General, please accompany me."

"The general will obey his orders."

At this time, Nie Zefeng took Zhao Yun and three cavalry to the central position for an alliance meeting.

Under the protection of several cavalry, Cao Cao came to the small fire pit built by the infantry who had just taken advantage of the moment to pass the order.

While Cao Cao was personally carrying the wine that was being warmed by Gangbang, he saw Nie Zefeng arriving.

Cao Cao raised his head and saw Nie Zefeng, who was dressed in military uniform. He saw that Nie Zefeng was covered in golden chainmail and was covered in golden light. Although there was no brilliant sunshine, he showed a kind of domineering power.

Cao Cao exclaimed inadvertently: "Too young, too young."

Nie Zefeng was not polite but sat on the floor and looked at Cao Cao opposite. Today he finally saw clearly the Cao Cao he had always admired among the Three Kingdoms.

Nie Zefeng looked at Cao Cao across from him. He was just a little shorter than ordinary people. According to the height of today's people, he might be about 1.65 meters. Moreover, Cao Cao himself felt a bit skinny.

Nie Zefeng thought in his mind that there might be a sentence that is particularly suitable to describe Cao Cao, and it condenses the essence.

Cao Cao smiled and said: "The King of Chu is young. The King of Chu is so young. I never thought that the King of Chu who controls the nine counties of Jingxiang would be so young. Is the general twenty-five years old today?"

Nie Zefeng thought in his mind that he never expected that he would be praised highly by Cao Cao.

Nie Zefeng smiled and said: "Prime Minister Cao, to be honest, I have just turned twenty-three this year."

Cao Cao once again praised: "I dare to ask the King of Chu, these are all soldiers under your account. They are indeed tiger and wolf warriors."

Nie Zefeng also smiled apologetically and said: "Prime Minister, since you raised your troops, you have defeated Lu Bu, destroyed Yuan Shu, and expanded your territory thousands of miles. You are truly a hero."

Nie Zefeng smiled and said: "Prime Minister, this wine is almost ready. If it boils, it will be a little bad."

Cao Cao seemed to hear it and said: "There are only a few heroes in the world, I will definitely be able to defeat them one by one."

Nie Zefeng took a glass of wine handed over by Cao Cao and drank it in one gulp. Nie Zefeng praised: "Good wine, good wine."

Cao Cao said: "I have come to attack you rebellious generals under the emperor's decree. Why don't you surrender? After surrender, I will be a high official with a generous salary, and I will give you a lot of land and land for beauties."

After Nie Zefeng finished drinking, he smiled slightly and said: "Cao Cao, don't others know it? Don't I know you? Your interception of the emperor is nothing more than using the emperor to control the princes and gain political advantage. Then you never proclaimed the emperor, or more

Because, that’s because you want to wait for your sons to complete these things..."

Nie Zefeng's every word struck a chord in Cao Cao's mind, making Cao Cao a little at a loss now.

After Nie Zefeng finished speaking, he got on his horse, then mounted his horse and rode away, saying: "Cao Cao, it's not that I won't kill you today, it's because if I kill you as Cao Cao, the Central Plains cannot be unified, and I also tell you

You, Yuan Shao, have led a heavy army to attack Xuchang."

After saying that, Nie Zefeng raised his riding whip and galloped away, leaving behind a trail of horse hooves and smoke. Cao Cao was always there, unable to recover for a long time, because this was the first time in his life that Cao Cao had been treated like this.

play.

Lü Chang came personally to urge us: "Prime Minister, the King of Chu has left. Should we return to the camp now, they may be about to kill us."

Cao Cao stood up, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He suddenly swept the wine bottles and wine bottles on the small table to the ground.

Then he returned to the opponent's own military formation.

Cao Cao looked at the 100,000 soldiers and horses behind him, and thought angrily in his heart, the first time he fought against the Chu army, it was because our army was unprepared. This time, I think if our army of 100,000 soldiers can't defeat his tens of thousands,

How can the army control the Central Plains in the future?

Cao Cao, who returned to the formation, raised his sword and pointed it.

"Start the war."

Immediately there was smoke everywhere, and Nie Zefeng, who also returned to the military formation, also commanded the army to attack.

The rolling chariots, countless Xiliang cavalry, the neighing of the fast horses, and the neat steps of the shield bearers
