After Zhang Liao surrendered to Li Xian, Cao Ren had become a trapped situation in Wan County.

Li Xian led his soldiers and horses back to Bowang County and discussed with Fu Zhu and others how to capture Wan County.

In the military tent, Li slanted at everyone, hoping that they would make suggestions.

Xiahou Lan first said: "Now Cao Ren is a lonely city, as long as we send people to block Cao Hong's reinforcements in Ye County, and then attack Wan County with all our strength on all sides, we will be able to conquer it quickly." ”

Gao Shun shook his head and said: "No, then we will lose too many troops, and it is not advisable to storm the city, so we have to find a way to lure Cao Ren out of the city to fight." ”

Frustrated and looked at Gao Shun with a smile: "What Peping said is right, now Cao Ren only has two ways to choose, one is to stick to Wan County and wait for Cao Cao's reinforcements, and the other is to go out of the city to Ye County and meet Cao Hong." Wen Yuan came to surrender, Cao Cao has not received the news at this time, once Cao Cao gets the news, he will definitely raise a large army, so we must quickly occupy Wanxian. ”

"Then how can you lure Cao Ren out of the city?" Xia Houlan felt that she had no good way.

Li Xian looked at Xia Houlan with a smile, it seemed that he obviously had an idea in his heart, but Xia Houlan was stunned by him.

"Actually, there is no need to lure him now, Cao Ren will definitely go out of the city, but if you want to defeat him, you have to need General Xiahou."

Based on his understanding of Cao Ren, Li Xian expected that he would choose to go out of the city to Yexian to meet Cao Hong, because it was meaningless for him to be trapped in Wanxian County now.

"Need me? The general won't let me cheat again, will he? Seeing Li Xian's smiling expression, Xia Houlan had already guessed that it was not far from ten.

"Yes, my idea is that if you go to deceive and flee in the direction of Bowang County like last time, Cao Ren will definitely think that you are deceiving and luring him to chase after him. Therefore, he will not chase after him, but flee in the direction of Wuyin, and then flee from Wuyin to Yexian......"

Before Li Xian finished speaking, Zhao Yun had already heard what Li Xian meant, and said hurriedly: "The general asked me to intercept Cao Ren." ”

"That's exactly what I mean." Li Xian looked at Zhao Yun and smiled.

Fu Zhu also agreed with Li Xian's strategy: "At the same time, General Jun Yi can lead his troops to ambush near Wan County, and after Cao Ren leaves the city, if he pursues General Xiahou, General Jun Yi will lead his troops to attack Cao Ren with General Xiahou in the future." If Cao Ren fled to Wuyin, General Jun Yi led his troops into Zhanwan County and cut off Cao Ren's retreat. ”

"Yes, General Xiahou, if Cao Ren flees in the direction of Wuyin, you can pursue him behind. When Zilong ambushes the troops, you attack in front and back, and Cao Ren will be defeated. ”

Zhao Yun thought of Ye County and asked, "What about Cao Hong in Ye County, and Yu Ban who is in Kunyang, what should they do if they lead the troops to rescue Cao Ren?" ”

He smiled and said, "General Zilong, don't worry, Cao Hong has no second way to go now except to stick to Ye County." He had to stay in Ye County, waiting to pick up Cao Ren. If he sends troops and Yexian occupies it for us, then they will all be trapped in Nanyang and will not be able to escape. Therefore, as long as we lead the army to the city, we will not besiege or attack. When the news of Cao Ren's defeat came, Cao Hong would also retreat and leave. ”

"Yes, now there is Zang Ziyuan in Luyang, Liu Jingsheng in Xiangyang, and there are also our people in Sui County, if Cao Hong loses Ye County again, then they will have no way out of Nanyang."

The plan has been decided, and Li Xian ordered Xiahou Lan to lead 2,000 people to Wanxian County to challenge, to deceive Cao Ren like last time, and induce Cao Ren to suspect and not pursue, but to flee in the direction of Wuyin.

Zhang He led 2,000 people to lie in wait near Wan County, if Cao Ren pursued Xiahou Lan, he would help later, and if Cao Ren fled to Wuyin, he would take the opportunity to enter Zhanwan County.

Zhao Yun led 3,000 people to ambush in Wanxian to Wuyin, Cao Ren will be more careful when crossing the water, after passing the water, they will think that there will be no more ambushes, and then suddenly kill, they will be able to win. At the same time, Xiahou Lan led the troops to help, and attacked back and forth, if he could completely annihilate Cao Ren, it would be better.

Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Fu Zhu followed Li Xian to lead the troops to the city of Yexian and waited for their news.

If this battle is won, Cao Cao will definitely lead the army to arrive soon, so after Zhang He occupied Wanxian, he immediately sent someone to Luyang to inform Zang Hong, and asked him to lead 3,000 soldiers and their families to Wanxian to guard Wanxian.

After arranging everything, Li Xian took Fu Zhu, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao to lead 5,000 people to attack Ye County.

After Yu Ban, who was guarding Kunyang, learned that Li Xian had raised troops to Ye County, he immediately led his troops into Ye County and guarded Ye County with Cao Hong.

Originally, Yu Ban persuaded Cao Hong to retreat to Kunyang, and when Cao Cao's reinforcements arrived, Cao Hong thought that Cao Ren was still trapped in Wan County, and he couldn't just abandon Ye County.

After Li Xian arrived in Yexian, he did not besiege.

In fact, he didn't have the troops to surround him, Cao Hong and Yu Ban in Shouye County had a total of 5,000 people, and Li Xian only had 5,000 men, not to mention besieging the city, there was not much chance of winning the battle.

Therefore, Li Xian only left the city twenty miles away and sent a messenger to let Cao Hong retreat.

In the past, when Li Xian was at Cao Cao's place, he usually had a good relationship with Cao Hong, and the kamikaze horse he rode was also a gift from Cao Hong, so he also wanted Cao Hong to get out of the way.

Cao Hong had already sent people to Cao Cao for help, and both he and Yu Ban thought that they could not send troops to fight, so they confronted Li Xian like this.

Zhao Yun led 3,000 men and horses to ambush next to the road from Wanxian to Wuyin, quietly waiting for Cao Ren's appearance.

Zhang He led 2,000 people to lie ten miles northwest of Wanxian County, and sent scouts to pay attention to the movements of Wanxian County.

Xia Houlan brought the two thousand brothers who pretended to be defeated last time to Wanxian County, this time Xia Houlan specially explained to them, to pretend to be a little like a little, but it can't be like last time, it's too real, and sometimes it will seem too fake.

Some of those brothers muttered in a low voice: "This is going to be defeated again, don't you stand and wait for death if you don't run?" If we are allowed to win the battle and are not afraid of our lives, but if we are asked to pretend to be defeated, it is better to be defeated. ”

The person next to him also whispered: "Don't say it, Xiahou Jun is hearing that he will be punished by military discipline." If you lose, you will be defeated, just remember to run faster, last time Wang Wu ran slowly, and as a result, he was beheaded by the enemy soldiers. ”

"That's what I said, Xiahou Junzheng doesn't want us to die, even if he runs early, he won't be punished, buddy, remember to pull me when the time comes."

"Well, you just follow me."

This time, before they could start scolding, the city gate had already opened, and a large group of people rushed out.

Xiahou Lan knew that Cao Ren was really the whole army was dispatched, and he didn't care if he pretended to be real or fake, so he immediately ordered: "Withdraw quickly." ”

He knew that he would definitely not be able to defeat Cao Ren by relying on his own people, and Cao Ren was in a hurry to escape now, and he would fight with you if he was in a hurry, so he would save himself first, anyway, General Li would also pretend to be defeated by himself.

As soon as his brothers heard Xiahou Lan's order to retreat, they immediately turned around and ran away.

A few days ago, when the news of Zhang Liao's surrender of Xiancheng reached Wanxian, Cao Ren was taken aback.

The surprise was not because Zhang Liao surrendered, but because he had fallen into a lonely predicament.

Now Luyang, which is out of Luoyang, is guarded by Zang Hong, and there are also Li Xian's men and horses in the adjacent county, and Li Xian is leading his troops to attack Ye County.

If Li Xian captures Yexian, he will be surrounded by enemies on all sides, and there will be no door to the sky and no way to go to the ground.

Therefore, he decided that he had to take advantage of the fact that Li Xian had not yet captured Ye County, break through to Ye County, and join Cao Hong.

But if you go directly to Ye County, there will be an ambush, and you can only bypass it from Wuyin.

After thinking about it, before he had time to get out of the city, the scout reported that the last time the Xiahou general had brought troops to attack Wanxian again.

Cao Ren didn't care whether General Xiahou was really weak or deceitful, especially when he saw that Xiahou Lan's soldiers were still scattered like the previous time, he immediately ordered the whole army to go out of the city to attack, and then retreated to Wuyin.

Cao Ren led the troops to chase after him for less than five miles, and suddenly turned to the direction of Wuyin.

Xia Houlan ran out of ten miles, only to find that there were no pursuers behind him, and after letting people go back to investigate, he was sure that Cao Ren was really as Li Xian expected, and went to Wuyin.
