Tai Shici believed Ji Ling's words, and withdrew from Hefei to Yangzhou with the exhausted Gao Jiajun, and at the same time Feige passed a book to Gao Yi in Wancheng, telling all the things about Hefei, and affirming the meaning of Yinfeng before he fell into a coma, and then he waited for Gao Yi's further arrangements.

As for Ji Ling, he really kept his word and did not embarrass Tai Shici's men, but ordered his subordinates to quickly devote themselves to the rescue of Hefei refugees.

At this time, Yuan Yao returned to Shouchun with a strategy, but Cao Cao and Liu Bei did not take the opportunity to chase and kill, because when Yuan Yao crossed the river, he secretly ordered Li Feng, Liang Gang and Le to lead thousands of men and horses, and followed Zhang Xun to respond with each other.

And Qiao Rui here, did not follow Yuan Yao's intention to sneak attack Xu Du, but directly led the troops to attack the weak defense of Chen Guo, Zhang Xun didn't know what Qiao Rui meant, so he had to lead the men and horses to continue to follow up, as for the three Li Feng who went to deal with him behind him, Zhang Xun had not had time to find out, he had been discovered by Cao Cao's exploration horse, and immediately reported to Cao Cao who was facing Yuan Yao's army across the river on the north bank of the Huai River.

"Yuan Yao's five generals add up to 50,000 people, I'm afraid that Yuan Rang alone is not an opponent, and he may not be able to stop it!" Cao Cao put down the urgent report in his hand and looked at Guo Jia who was drinking alone, "Fengxiao, what good way do you have?"

Guo Jia sneered at the corner of his mouth, and turned sideways to stare at Cao Cao: "Yuan Yao is following the lord's example, he just wants to distract the lord's attention, don't pay attention to it! Just prepare to cross the river to attack Shouchun!"

"I disagree!"

Suddenly, there was a neighing sound of war horses, and the two looked not far away, only to see Xun Yu riding a horse coming, turning over and dismounting, pointing at Guo Jia and objecting: "Feng Xiao has always been thoughtful, if you make such a small mistake? Chen Guo is the place to rush, if it is lost, Xu will open the door wide, let the enemy slaughter, Yuan Yao's plan is to send a signal to the princes of the Quartet: Xu Du now has no strategic points to rely on, and those who want to take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters can come casually!" If Wen Ruo said that you only seek the current interests and do not know the overall situation, I didn't believe it at first, but now I have to believe it!"

"I don't know the overall situation?" Guo Jia laughed dumbly, and then said sharply, "The art of war is the most important thing to pay attention to surprise, anticipating the enemy first, if we can think of the enemy can also think of it, then what is the point of the plot? Yuan Yao's army is 170,000, and the lord is only 60,000, if he doesn't use a trick and duel with the right path, instead of hitting a stone with an egg? Brother Gongda also knows a lot about the art of war, don't you know that this time is powerful?"

"Okay, don't say a word!" Cao Cao waved his hand to stop the quarrel between the two, and said in a deep voice, "I have made up my mind, Gongda, you and Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan are here, don't move lightly, I will lead an army of 30,000 with Feng Xiao and Wen Ze, and help Yuan let break Yuan Yao's 50,000 horses, if successful, then encircle Shouchun together, don't ......"

Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, and then said solemnly: "It will definitely succeed!"

After saying that, Cao Cao went out of the tent to give instructions, and Guo Jia also went out, and passed a very complicated look to Xun You, who was smiling strangely in the tent.

Cao Cao's sudden decision made Liu Bei, who was leading troops to attack the defenders of Yuan Yaohuai's River at the moment, a little depressed, he only brought 15,000 men and horses from Xiaopei, and now he has lost 3,000 people, but Cao Cao said in a word that because of the lack of food and grass, Liu Bei canceled the next military plan and waited for the next order.

Zhang Fei, who was killing heartily in the enemy's formation, swung his spear, resulting in the lives of dozens of people, and his big hand wiped the tiger's whiskers, and roared like thunder: "What, my old Zhang heard it right, Cao Cao's grain and grass were eaten up so quickly?

Guan Yu, who was not far away, was also swept with a long knife, which shocked countless enemy cavalry and dismounted, and they were seriously injured in each mouth spitting blood, and it seemed that they would not be able to recover in ten days and half a month.

But they no longer have this chance to recover, Guan Yu's personal soldiers around Guan Yu saw that the main general was full of might, and immediately struggled forward, swinging their knives and falling, ending the lives of these unlucky ghosts.

Guan Yu put away his sword and rode his horse, looked at Liu Bei, frowned, and expressed his unhappiness in his thick voice: "This is not like Cao Cao's style of acting, there must be something strange in it!"

Liu Bei nodded, and said to Cao Cao's herald: "Please report back to Lord Sikong, Liu Bei obeys the military order!"

Cao Cao's current official position is Sikong, originally Liu Xie in recognition of Cao Cao's great contribution to the rescue, deliberately named Cao Cao as a general, and was afraid that Yuan Shao would be dissatisfied, so he added Yuan Shao as a captain, but Yuan Shao knew that he was furious, thinking that he had saved Cao Cao in danger many times, how to the end of the official position was under Cao Cao, Cao Cao knew about this, and personally resigned from the position of general, and asked Liu Xie to seal this official position to Yuan Shao, and he served as the position of Sikong.

However, this is only a well-known statement, but what Sun Qian, who is engaged in official affairs, reported to Liu Bei is another statement:

Liu Xie listened to many old ministers of the Han Dynasty about Cao Cao will replace himself as the emperor, and used this time to create a contradiction between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, so that the alliance between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao was gradually replaced by mutual suspicion, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, any of these two families will threaten the interests of the Han Dynasty, but if they are weak, they will be coveted by the surrounding princes, Liu Xie is not the puppet fool in the eyes of outsiders, in fact, he is more shrewd than anyone else, but he has no opportunity to show this eloquence.

Liu Bei was not very surprised when he heard the news brought by Sun Gan, as if all this was expected by him, but he was quite curious about how Sun Qian knew about these confidential things.

"It seems that I underestimated Gongyou's ability too much before, so I don't know if I have a backup, and I hope to give me more advice!"

Since Lord Tao Qian entrusted Xuzhou to you when he was dying, I and other old bureaucrats naturally did their best to do things for the lord, and Zizhong and Wenlong were called businessmen, but in fact, they spread countless details in the thirteen states of the world, and as soon as there was information, they could be the first to learn, although the lord had nowhere to live at this time, but there was still a long way to come, I believe that with the ability of the lord, we will definitely lead us to open up a world!"

Now recalling Sun Gan's words, although Liu Bei is like a sweet food, but he clearly feels bitter in his heart, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, now five or six years have passed, and there is still no territory as the basic, the title of Xuzhou Thorn History is only less than a year, it was stolen by Lu Bu, and now he is sending people everywhere under the fence, looking up at others and living, is he incapable, or should his life be like this?

"Whoosh!" Liu Bei's double-strand sword brush swept down a group of enemy soldiers in front of him, and the earth-shattering momentum forced the swarming enemy soldiers and horses to stagnate, and then Liu Bei put the sword into the sheath, gritted his teeth and gave an unwilling order: "Withdraw the army!"

Lü Bu also received the news that Cao Cao divided his troops to go to Chen State to fight against Yuan Yao's general, and saw that Liu Beijun had also stopped fighting with Yuan Yaojun, so he also followed the advice of the military advisor Chen Gong, and ordered the army to temporarily stop marching and station at the ferry on the north bank of the Huai River, but ordered Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to lead their headquarters to go to Shouchun at night to disguise themselves as civilians and prepare for a surprise attack on Yuan Yao's base camp.

Because only Lu Bu knew that Sun Ce's men and horses had already arrived outside Shouchun City.

Outside the city of Chen Guo, the Qiao Rui army was fighting to the death with Xiahoudun's Qingzhou soldiers.

Qiao Rui knew that the Qingzhou soldiers were strong, so they did not confront them head-on, but divided the men and horses into three parts, and launched a fierce attack on the Qingzhou soldiers from the left, middle and right directions at the same time, so that Xiahoudun immediately felt a lot of pressure, the Qingzhou soldiers have always fought in a collective way, and they can only play an exponential combat effectiveness when they are assembled, but if they are divided, it will not only weaken the dense combat effectiveness, but also not conducive to the mobilization of men and horses.

Han Hao and Shi Jian Qin Qi came to see Xiahoudun: "The enemy army is strong, it is better to retreat for the time being and find another clever plan!"

"Retreat, where can you retreat?" Xiahoudun shouted in a deep voice, pointing to Chen Guocheng behind him to show the three of them, "Behind us is Chen Guo, if we retreat, the enemy will slaughter them, in that case I would rather kill myself!"

"But!" Han Hao couldn't bear to look at the battlefield in front of him, the Qingzhou soldiers were being killed by Qiaorui's men and horses, "If this continues, our Qingzhou soldiers will suffer heavy losses!"

Xiahoudun frowned, and he was also unwilling: "I have heard that Yuan Yao has three major generals, Ji Ling, Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui, Ji Ling is wise and brave, can fight well, Zhang Xun governs the army strictly, is upright, and quite prestigious, and although this Qiao Rui is brave and brave, leading the troops is not inferior to me, but I have never believed it, when I saw it today, I knew that there were people outside the people!"

"It's rare to hear a general praise an opponent!" Qin Qi said in a complicated tone with a spear in his hand, his delicate face a little more tired from the battles he had fought for days.

"Good is good, if the opponent is really powerful, why should I spare my praise?" Xia Houdun said as he pointed to Qiao Rui, who was calmly directing the army to fight in the distance, and said leisurely, "I don't know what will happen to his soldiers if he kills this commander?"

Shi Jian shook his head: "This method may not be feasible, Qiao Rui knows that he is not the opponent of the general, and he will definitely not fight!"

"I'm not saying that I'm going to go head-to-head with this Qiaorui, but I'm going to make a bet!" Xiahoudun said loudly, and rode his horse in the direction of Qiaorui.

"Da Shuai is not good, the enemy commander Xia Hou Dun is coming in the direction of Da Shuai!" "The deputy general beside Qiao Rui saw that not far away Xia Hou Deng rushed into his battle formation on horseback, and the Qilin Tooth in his hand took turns to move, and the soldiers in front of him were all shocked, and they couldn't help but be shocked and came to report to Qiao Rui.

"What are you afraid of?" Qiao Rui is a general after all, although he doesn't understand Xiahoudun's intentions, but he still gives the order, "Order the soldiers to disperse, set up bows and crossbows, and let him in!"

Han Hao and the three of them saw that Xiahoudun suddenly did this extraordinary thing, and when he came back to his senses, Xiahoudun was already in the enemy's formation, so he immediately waved his troops and rushed over, but before he could reach him, he watched in surprise as the enemy army dodged a way and put Xiahoudun in, and then quickly plugged the gap, Han Hao and other three generals led the troops to rush and kill for a while, but they could not move at all, and could only sigh together, and did not know what Xiahoudun had a deep meaning.

Xiahoudun rode his horse to a hundred steps away from the bridge, knowing that he would suffer from ten thousand arrows piercing his heart if he walked forward, but he was still fearless, looking at the bridge not far away with the same vicissitudes of life as himself, Xiahoudun praised: "It is worthy of being the general under Yuan Yao's account, it is really a lesson!"

Before Qiao Rui rode out of the horse, he gave his hand and saluted: "General Xiahou can be defeated but not defeated in times of crisis, retreat without chaos, it can be seen that he is also a good man in governing the army, if it is not for the encounter on the battlefield, I really want to make a friend of the general! The general is the commander-in-chief, but he is here lightly, I don't know what advice?"

"Not bad!" Xiahoudun deeply agreed, looked around at the enemy soldiers who were ready to rush forward at any time, and said with a dignified expression: "Our army is about to be defeated, and the people of Chen Guo have no one to rely on behind him, I don't know what Lord Qiao Rui is going to do after breaking the city?"

Qiao Rui understood what Xiahoudun meant, and said loudly: "After the city is broken, I will definitely restrain the soldiers, and I will not commit any crimes with Minqiu, and I will return all the soldiers who captured your army after this war is over!"

"Then I'll rest assured!" Xiahoudun was about to say something, when a member of the Tanma came to Qiao Rui's side, glanced at Xiahoudun in surprise, and then reported to Qiao Rui: "Qiqi Marshal, Your Majesty is afraid that Dashuai will not be able to support it alone, so Zhang Xun is specially ordered to lead the people from the headquarters to help!"

"......" Qiao Rui was startled and looked at the exploration horse, "Where is Zhang Xun?"

"I have arrived at the Chinese army, and I am rushing to the front army here at this moment!"

"So fast!" Qiao Rui was surprised inexplicably, turned around and looked not far away, and sure enough, he saw a group of people and horses galloping over, waving smoke and dust into the sky, the first general, with a solemn face, it was Zhang Xun.

Xiahoudun sneered: "Rush to help, I think it's a merit!"

Qiao Rui hesitated, uncertain, and said to Xiahoudun: "I can't hide it, when I came here, Yuan Yao was already suspicious, in fact, he ordered me to sneak attack Xu Du, I knew that this was a dead end, so I turned to attack Chen Guo at the opportunity, thinking that Zhang Xun received Yuan Yao's secret order and wanted to get rid of me!"
