Wang Kai withdrew to Liguo for a few days to repair, and Cao Cao of Wancheng finally knew why Yuan Shu would evacuate Wancheng, it turned out that Yuan Shu had no tricks, but Liu Biao sent troops to attack Yuan's grain throat - Biyang County.

Cao Cao, who knew the news, also regretted not chasing Wang Kai, but the matter had come to this point, and Cao Cao could only complain.

Then, Cao Cao began to organize his army to prepare for westward expansion, because Cao Cao's goal was to focus on Shunyang County in addition to Wancheng, that is, Shunyang County, which connected Hanzhong and Guanzhong, and only by occupying Wancheng and Shunyang at the same time, Cao Cao could completely block Wang Kai so that he could not get out of the pass.

There is another reason why Cao Cao is preparing to advance westward, that is, Liu Biaojun and Yuan Shujun will have a big battle in Biyang County, and Wancheng will become relatively safe, so Cao Cao can take advantage of the situation to send troops.

Just as Cao Cao was preparing to march westward, Yuan Shu led 28,000 people to Wuyin County and joined up with Le and Lei Ji.

Subsequently, Yuan Shu found Lei Shu and asked about the specific process of Biyang's loss.

After Yuan Shu listened to what Lei Shu said, Yuan Shu quickly gathered 35,000 people to kill Biyang, and the remaining 3,000 people were led by Le to garrison Wuyin.

Two days later.

Yuan Shu's army also rushed to the north gate of Biyang County.

After Wen Ping, who captured Biyang, saw that Yuan's army had arrived, he immediately sent an order for the 10,000 soldiers at the north gate to prepare for battle.

Besides, when Yuan Shu led the army to Biyang County, he directly ordered a strong attack, because if Biyang County was recaptured one day earlier, the risk of Yuan's army being wiped out would be reduced by one point.

Wen Ping saw that Yuan's army directly began to attack the city, and he also commanded his soldiers to resist with all their might.

Because Wen Ping was good at defending the city, Yuan's army stormed for several days but failed to recapture Biyang County.

At this time, Cao Cao of Wancheng also received news from Biyang County.

Immediately, Cao Cao left Cheng Yu, Le Jin and 10,000 troops to garrison Wancheng, while he himself raised 30,000 troops and marched towards Liguo with Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Yue Xi, Cao Chun and Xun You.

After Cao Jun dispatched, Jinyiwei, who was closely following Wancheng's movements, quickly transmitted the news back to Liguo.

When Wang Kai learned that Cao Cao was actually going west, he was very surprised and said: "How did Cao Cao raise troops to go west?" Could it be that he already has insight into my immigration plans? Impossible! ”

Shocked, Wang Kai also quickly dispatched troops and horses to prepare for the battle, because if the country of Li was broken, the immigration plan was likely to be cut in half.

A day later.

Cao Cao led 30,000 soldiers and horses to the east gate of the Li Kingdom and stationed there.

When Wang Kai got the news, he immediately took Wei Chigong, Pei Xingyan and Li Ru to live in the city tower, because Cao Cao was not so easy to deal with.

Besides, after Cao's army set up camp, Cao Cao also came to Xun You to discuss the plan to break the city.

Facing Wang Kai, an opponent, Xun You and Cao Cao communicated for a long time but couldn't think of any good way.

Helpless, Cao Cao immediately decided to storm the state of Li.

Following.

Cao Cao's 30,000-strong army set up a position and prepared to attack the city.

When Wang Kai saw this, he also immediately commanded the Kai soldiers on the city tower to prepare for the battle.

A big war is also on the verge of breaking out.

As Cao Jun launched the catapult, Wang Kai hurriedly let the soldiers on the city tower dodge.

After the Cao army fired three volleys, the infantry under the command of the Cao army carried the ladder and launched a charge, and the building cars and crashes in the Cao army's camp also advanced towards the county seat of Liguo.

After Wang Kai, who was on the city tower, couldn't hear the sound of stones hitting the wall, he immediately rushed to the side of the city tower with his soldiers and began to fight back.

After a day of fierce fighting between the two armies, Cao's army still failed to capture the tower, after all, Cao Cao had not yet attacked with all his strength.

Then turn to the side of Biyang County.

Yuan's 35,000 troops attacked Biyang County continuously for nearly half a month, but also without success.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Shu was also furious.

At this time, Yang Hong proposed to Yuan Shu to send soldiers and horses from the rest of the counties to support, but Yuan Shu, who had a good face, was willing to agree.

In this way, Yuan Shu still relied on his headquarters to launch an attack on Biyang County.

Since then, Wang Kai and Cao Cao fought fiercely in Liguo, Yuan Shu and Wen Ping fought fiercely in Biyang, and Liu Pan and Ji Ling fought fiercely in Caiyang.

The war between the three places lasted for about a month.

Yuan Shu suffered tens of thousands of casualties on his side, but he still failed to capture Biyang County.

At this time, Yuan Shu finally put down his face and sent someone to transfer Ji Lingjun back to help.

Just when Yuan Shu's messenger came to the north gate of Caiyang County, the Jingzhou sergeant who was ambushed outside the north gate immediately intercepted and killed him, because Kuai Liang had already figured out Yuan Shu's character, and intercepting and killing Yuan Shu's messenger was the most important part of the Jingzhou army's recapture of Caiyang.

After the Jingzhou army, which was ambushed outside the north gate of Caiyang County, returned to Liu Pan's camp with Yuan Shu's letter, Liu Pan immediately found Kuai Yue and said to him: "Mr. Xenodu, we have finally intercepted Yuan Shu's dispatch to Ji Ling!" ”

Kuai Yue was also overjoyed when he heard this: "General Liu, without further ado, we quickly prepare to capture Caiyang County." ”

After hearing this, Liu Pan hurriedly agreed.

When Liu Pan was ready, he immediately sent a fake messenger to report to Ji Ling.

After Ji Ling received Yuan Shu's letter from the fake messenger, he was shocked and thought, "Is the situation in Biyang County so sluggish?" ”

Thinking of this, Ji Ling immediately summoned the whole army to prepare to leave Caiyang County at night, because Yuan Shu's letter said to let his whole army evacuate, but what Ji Ling didn't know was that the letter sent to him had been moved by Kuai Yue, Yuan Shu's real order was to let Ji Ling leave 10,000 people to continue to hold on, and Ji Ling led 20,000 people back to aid Biyang, but Kuai Yue changed 20,000 people to the whole army.

Just when Ji Ling was preparing to withdraw his troops, Liu Pan's side was also divided into two routes, one was led by Liu Pan to set up an ambush in Tangzi Township in the north of Caiyang County, and the other was led by Kuai Yue to wait for an opportunity to capture Caiyang County.

After Liu Pan led 5,000 soldiers and horses to ambush in Tangzi Township, Ji Ling immediately led his troops to evacuate Caiyang County.

Kuai Yue, who had been prepared for a long time, saw Ji Ling's department go out of the city, and he immediately took the rest of the soldiers and horses to secretly occupy Caiyang County.

After that, Kuai Yue left 5,000 people to garrison Caiyang, and he himself led an army of more than 10,000 people to march to Tangzi Township with Yuan's army.

Besides, after Ji Ling led the army to the north for a day, when he saw Tangzi Township not far ahead, he immediately ordered the whole army to go to Tangzi Township for repairs.

When the army under the command of Ji Ling was stationed in Tangzi Township for repair, Liu Pan, who was ambushed nearby, also ordered the 5,000 soldiers under his command to wait for the opportunity.

After it was dark, the army under Ji Ling's command rested in Tangzi Township.

Liu Pan, who was ambushed nearby, learned that Ji Lingbu had fallen asleep, and he immediately ordered his 5,000 soldiers to set off rockets in Tangzi Township.

In just an instant, Tangzi Township became a sea of fire, because Liu Pan had already planted something to ignite fire in Tangzi Township.

Besides, when Ji Ling woke up from his sleep and found himself in a deep sea of fire, he also hurriedly shouted to gather the army, but the soldiers of Yuan were not elite, no matter how Ji Ling shouted, the soldiers of the Yuan army could not form a cohesive force at all.

In desperation, Ji Ling had to withdraw to Huyang County with the soldiers who obeyed the order.

But before Ji Ling could go far, Liu Pan led the five thousand soldiers under his command to kill.

Sergeant Yuan, who had already become a frightened bird, lost his morale even more when facing Liu Panjun's fight.

When Ji Ling fought for a while and suddenly saw Liu Pan, he immediately rushed to Liu Pan angrily and shouted: "Liu Pan, give me my life!" ”

When Liu Pan saw Ji Ling wielding a three-pointed two-edged knife to kill, he also raised his knife to meet him.

At this time, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun in Huyang County also learned the news that Ji Lingjun was ambushed in Tangzi Township, because Huyang County was very close to Tangzi Township.

Immediately after, Zhang Liao immediately said to Gao Shun: "General Gao, you leave 5,000 people to garrison Huyang, and I will lead 5,000 people to rescue General Ji." ”

After Gao Shun agreed, Zhang Liao quickly rushed to Tangzi Township with 5,000 soldiers and horses.
