"He's stalling for time! The army stepped forward and took down this thief!"

A mountain call, Cheng Yu's men and horses attacked, Gao Yi rode his horse and retreated, at this time there was a shout of killing on both sides, it turned out that the cavalry of the Gao family army arrived, they killed Cheng Yu's ambush by surprise, the cavalry fought the archers in close quarters, or attacked, that scene can only be described as slaughter.

In a short time, Cheng Yu's ambush soldiers had been killed and wounded, and the remnants had to withdraw and come to meet Cheng Yu's main force, and the two cavalry on the left and right of the Gao family army were not ambiguous, and the cavalry team that had been fighting in the center for a long time surrounded Cheng Yu's army on three sides, and after a charge, there were countless corpses of Cheng Yu's army on the ground.

The most exciting thing is that Cheng Yujun's formation was scattered, and with this opportunity, the first group of more than 1,000 cavalry in the central charge did not look back according to Gao Yi's prior arrangement, and directly pursued the remnants of Fengji.

Gao Yi led the remaining 2,000 cavalry and continued to ravage the enemy soldiers in Cheng Yu's army formation, and fought and advanced, forcing Cheng Yu to gather the remaining few remnants of the defeated generals and retreat towards Pingqiu City.

"Simply clean up the battlefield of World War I, collect the weapons of those prisoners, leave five hundred people to escort them back to Fengqiu City, and the rest, rest for a while, and continue to move forward with me!"

Gao Yi washed his face by the river, and ordered in a deep voice, this victory did not make him feel happy, on the contrary, he was a little worried, Cheng Yu's appearance, engagement and retreat were extremely stable and orderly, as if they had been arranged in advance, and the soldiers captured by his troops were also not strong in combat, more like a group of rabble that was temporarily pulled up.

If there is a rabble here, then where are those elite generals? Puyang, Juancheng, or Dingtao, Juye? Cao Cao will definitely not make the mistake of attacking Tao Qian before, so why did Gao's army encounter some soft resistance when attacking Cao Cao's rear in five directions this time?

Could it be that Cao Cao did not intend to defend Xu Du from the beginning, but deliberately ordered someone to secretly rearrange a line of defense?

"Get the map!" Gao Yi suddenly thought of something.

Looking at the distribution of cities dotted around Yanzhou on the map, Gao Yi was more sure of what he thought.

Obviously, before Cao Cao left Xuzhou, he must have secretly instructed the remaining forces of Yanzhou and Yuzhou to concentrate in the eastern part of Dongjun-Jiyin County-Liangguo-Peiguo West, and the heavy troops were fixedly connected to several cities in Puyang, Juancheng, Dingtao, Juyang, and Qiaoxian.

In other words, Cao Cao really planned to abandon Chenliu, Yingchuan, Chenguo, Runan, and even most of Huainan to consume the morale and grain and grass supplies of the Gao army, and at the same time take Xuzhou as quickly as possible and quickly use it as a strategic rear, so that he could confront or engage the Gao army in the front-line positions arranged in advance by mobilizing all the main forces.

Moreover, Cao Cao's arrangement, it seems that the purpose is not only Gao Yi, but also includes Yin Feng and Sun Ce and Lu Bu, if Yuan Shao and Liu Biao attack Gao's army from the flank and rear respectively, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Fortunately, Yuan Shao is now being restrained by Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan, and with Yan Liangtian Feng and others as internal responses, this invisible threat can be ignored.

But Liu Biao does not rule out the possibility of not being bought by Cao Cao.

But what made Gao Yi most puzzled was that Cao Cao was willing to give up Xu Du!

Isn't this clearly asking Gao Yi to enter Xu Du and hold Liu Xie?

"Lord, after cleaning up the battlefield, you can continue to march!" Deputy General Zhu Lai and Fei Qiang hurried over, seeing Gao Yi deep in thought and couldn't bear to disturb, but after hesitating, he still spoke.

"Xu Du, is there any news?" Gao Yi asked coldly.

Zhu Lai and Fei Jin exchanged glances: "Not yet, Lord Xun Yu only said in the letter that the lord does not have to be anxious, he will get everything done!"

"Send him a letter, and when this place is stable, I will send an army to invite Your Majesty, the Your Majesty of Wancheng, to Xudu for a large-scale ceremony of returning power, so that all the princes and people in the world will know about this grand ceremony!"

Zhu Lai and Fei Jin were a little stunned, although they were Gao Yi's lieutenants, but they had only joined the Gao family army not long ago, Gao Yi was so casually told such a confidential matter and handed it over to the two of them to do, which was simply flattering.

"I, I heard you right, right? Isn't this supposed to be carried out by General Chen's Hawkeye troops?" Zhu Lai muttered to himself.

Fei Jin suddenly smiled: "Could it be that the lord has already acquiesced to us joining the Hawkeye Army? Wow, this is a supreme honor!"

"Really? We're part of Hawkeye, aren't we dreaming? I'm going to die happy!"

Gao Yi listened to the cheers of the two people behind him, and a faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, the little people are really an easy crowd to satisfy.

When the men and horses were approaching the Linji Pavilion, Gao Yi found that the thousand cavalry he sent had actually returned, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart, could it be that Huangfu Hong was unfortunately killed in battle?

As soon as this thought came to mind, it was interrupted by Zhao Yun's voice: "Brother!"

"Yundi! How can it be you!" Gao Yi was overjoyed, seeing that in the crowd, it was Zhao Yun himself, in white robe and silver armor, which was particularly eye-catching, and beside him, there was Huang Fuhong who was safe and sound!

What is the situation? Zhao Yun should have helped Yin Feng's men and horses deal with Cao Cao in Xuzhou at this time, why did he suddenly appear here? Could it be that he said-

At this time, Gao Yi didn't want to hear any more bad news.

With such a thought, Gao Yi had already ridden his horse forward, turned over, saw Zhao Yun and Huang Fuhong also dismounted, and asked with a smile: "How did you two get together?

Huang Fuhong and Zhao Yun glanced at each other, and couldn't help laughing: "I can't figure out the situation either, I just remember that when I was almost killed by Feng Ji's men and horses, Senior Brother Mingyang, your Brother Yun descended from the sky like a divine soldier, and he rescued me from the siege with the strength of one person!

Gao Yi smiled: "If it were someone else, I wouldn't believe it, but Brother Yun, I believe he can do it!"

Indeed, in the romance, Zhao Yun went from appearing to save Gongsun Zhan, to later Runan to save Liu Bei, Changbanpo seven in and seven out, intercepting the river to capture Adou, and Hanshui to save Huang Zhong, all of which were done in adversity, such a person, no matter who got it, was a great luck.

Zhao Yun looked humble, and arched his hand to Gao Yi and said: "The elder brother has a good reputation, and the younger brother came to report because of something important, so he accidentally saved the emperor's son, if it weren't for the elder brother's thousand elite horsemen who came to answer in time, I'm afraid that the younger brother and the emperor's son would have died in the hands of Fengji's people!"

Gao Yi chuckled in his heart, but he didn't ask immediately, he just smiled and said to Huangfu Hong: "Senior brother has worked hard today, we have prepared a grand celebration banquet in Fengqiu City——"

Huang Fuhong interrupted Gao Yi's words: "It's too early to celebrate the banquet, senior brother, you should listen to the news brought by General Zhao Yun, something big has happened in Xuzhou!

Gao Yi smiled embarrassedly, this Huangfu Hong was really sharp-eyed, and nothing could escape his eyes: "Okay, good, you have seen through it, Senior Brother, Brother Yun, just say it, I will let the army go to the mound first!"

Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, and slowly said this bad news, which was not equivalent to a shocking thunderbolt: "Cao Cao saw through the battle plan of General Lu Bu and Princess Wannian, avoided the main force of Xuzhou and Yangzhou, and led an army of 50,000 to surround General Lu Bu in Xiapi!

Gao Yi was taken aback: "How could Cao Cao be so powerful? Unless he has an internal response-I actually ignored Chen Deng!"

Zhao Yun nodded: "It is indeed Chen Deng's secret, otherwise Cao Cao's men and horses would not be so fast, not only that, Chen Deng also rescued Liu Bei from the battlefield of Xiaopei and entered Guangling under his rule, and Guangling is the place where Sun Ce's men and horses must pass through to the north, but Chen Deng has carried out a lot of war preparations in Guangling, and General Sun Ce's attack has been unsuccessful for several months, and it is still in a stalemate!"

When Gao Yi heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, he really underestimated Chen Deng, he couldn't imagine that this person would play such a big role in this war, he should have gotten rid of this person at all costs.

Sun Ce did lose to Chen Deng in history, if it wasn't for Chen Deng's operation in Guangling, Sun Ce's territory might have become bigger later, but Cao Cao's strategic focus has always been in the north, and when he wanted to use troops in the south, Chen Deng had already died of illness.

And this time Chen Deng defeated Sun Ce, obviously a joke made by Gao Yi in history, Gao Yi knew that what should come will always come, and he can't hide from it.

"But this is not right, hasn't Princess Wannian already led 50,000 Gao family troops north from Xuyi? With such a force here, how could Cao Cao reach Xiapi safe and sound?"

"This is another big thing that the junior brother wants to tell his brother!" Zhao Yun was a little at a loss, "When Princess Wannian passed through Xiaopei with these tens of thousands of horses, she suddenly encountered a sandstorm, and after the sandstorm, Princess Wannian and these tens of thousands of horses disappeared out of thin air!"

"What, gone?" Gao Yi's eyes widened suddenly, "Brother Yun, what are you kidding?"

"Brother, you look at me, like you're joking?"

Gao Yi's body couldn't help but stumble, and tens of thousands of people disappeared together, this joke was a bit big.

Zhao Yun stepped forward to support Gao Yi: "Brother, at this time, you can't have any more accidents, General Lu Bu is in danger, and we urgently need to send someone to save him!"
