Finale
After the defeat of Xiahou Yuan, Ye County now has Zhang He and Xiahou Lan's soldiers and horses.
Xiahou Lan also killed more than 1,000 people when they attacked Xiahou Yuan, so they still have more than 3,000 people.
plus the original soldiers and horses in Ye County, there are tens of thousands of people.
As soon as Li Xian was happy, he wanted to take advantage of the victory to attack Cao Cao, wanting to beat Cao Cao away as soon as possible.
He persuaded him: "Cao Cao still has more than 20,000 people, and if we attack, I'm afraid the chances of winning are very small." ”
Li Xian laughed and said: "Don't be afraid, now I have so many generals and soldiers and horses around me, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Zhang He, Xia Houlan, which one is not brave with ten thousand enemies?" How many generals are there around Cao Cao? Now is the right time to take this opportunity to make a prestige, and Jingzhou will also be subdued by us. ”
Seeing that Li Xian had won two games, he was arrogant and underestimated the enemy, and knew that it was useless to persuade him, so he didn't say anything anymore.
So Li Xian ordered 8,000 men and horses, led the generals, and set off to Cao Cao's camp, leaving only Fu Zhi and 2,000 men to defend the city.
When Cao Cao received the news of Xiahou Yuan's defeat, he knew that Li Xian was invincible at this time, and was considering retreating his troops back to Xudu, and then moving the capital to Juancheng to avoid Li Xian's edge.
But before he could consult with the generals, a scout reported that Li Xianqin led the army to challenge.
He hastily summoned all the generals and counselors to take counsel.
Guo Jia said: "Don't be afraid, Li Xiansheng came arrogantly, and Jiaguan will defeat him this time." ”
Xun You also immediately said: "What Feng Xiao said is very true, Li Xian is here, the public does not need to avoid it, and there is no need to rush to fight, first sharpen his sharpness, and then surprise the army, he will definitely be able to defeat Li Xian." ”
Cao Cao felt that he still had more than 20,000 horses, and he would not necessarily be defeated, and if he could win this battle, he would not have to move the capital.
He arranged for the battalions to prepare for battle, but no one was allowed to fight without an order.
Li Xian led his troops to Cao Cao's camp and challenged Cao Cao.
However, Cao Cao let him abuse him, but he didn't fight.
There was no way, Li Xian had to retreat ten miles back to camp, and three days later, he led his troops to challenge Cao Cao.
Cao Cao still couldn't avoid the battle, and Li Xiandu was so anxious that he wanted to storm Cao Cao's camp.
However, the camp was not so easy to attack, although it was not as strong as the city, but it was also surrounded by high fences, as well as moats, horses, antlers, chariots and other camp defense equipment.
If you attack strongly, you will suffer too many casualties, and there are so many soldiers and horses in Cao Cao's camp, it is impossible to attack strongly.
Li Xian went to challenge every few days, and it was almost a month.
Just as he was about to lead the army back, Cao Cao actually led a large army to his camp to challenge.
This time, he took the initiative to put the right to fight in Cao Cao's hands, and for the soldiers in his battalion, the morale was somewhat damaged.
But if you don't fight, the morale is over.
At that moment, he ordered his men and horses and went out of the camp to meet them.
The two armies lined up and hedged in a row.
This time, Cao Cao gathered momentum, and before the war, he went to the camps, and his morale was more excited.
During the attack, the soldiers sacrificed their lives, and Li Xian's men and horses retreated.
Especially the chivalrous team led by Xu Chu, Cao Cao also sent him to the battlefield.
Xu Chu led people to rush towards Li Xian, and no one could stop him all the way.
Then surrounded Li Xian, Xu Chu fought against Li Xian, and after 80 rounds, Li Xian was stabbed off the horse.
Cao Cao instructed Xu Chu that it would be better if Li Xian could be captured alive, so after Li Xian was injured and fell off the horse, Xu Chu did not kill him, but captured him in front of Cao Cao.
Li Xian was captured, Zhao Yun and their army were in turmoil, and it was even more difficult to defeat Cao Cao's men, and they were soon defeated.
Zhao Yun, Gao Shun and others were also captured alive.
Cao Cao then marched into Wanxian, and Zang Hong originally wanted to resist from the city, but Li Xian wrote a letter to persuade him to surrender so as not to suffer the people of Wanxian.
Back in Xudu, Cao Cao asked Li Xian if he would like to surrender.
Li Xian said that as long as you promise not to slaughter the people in the future, I will no longer be your enemy, otherwise please kill me.
After thinking about it for a while, Cao Cao agreed to Li Xian's request.
Since then, Li Xian has been with Cao Min in Xudu, but he no longer holds any position, but lives a carefree life at home with his wife and daughter every day.
Zhao Yun and Gao Shun also listened to Li Xian's persuasion, surrendered to Cao Cao, and soon helped Cao Cao pacify the world.
Li Xian finally lived to be in his seventies, and at that time, it was still the Han Dynasty.
