Cao Cao obviously didn't care about Li Xian's premonition, he didn't believe that these newly recruited soldiers would rebel, because the commanders of the army were all people brought by himself.

He rested in the tent very early.

But he didn't know that Lujiang and Danyang were facing each other across the river, and the people of the two places had always hated each other, and now let their two battalions together, and soon there was a contradiction.

When fetching water by the river in the afternoon, a Danyang soldier accidentally bumped into a Lujiang soldier, and the Lujiang soldier couldn't help scolding: "It's not long-eyed." ”

There were six people in Danyang soldiers at that time, and there were only four people in Lujiang soldiers, Danyang soldiers heard him scolding themselves, threw the water bag in his hand to the ground, and did not speak, but went up directly and punched Lujiang soldiers in the face.

This Lujiang soldier is also young and vigorous, how can he stand the bullying of others, and it is impossible for other companions to stand by and watch, so the two groups of people fought together.

However, at that time, no one had any weapons on them, just fists and kicks.

There are only four Lujiang soldiers, and the Danyang soldiers have always been brave, and the Danyang soldiers must have won.

Although the Lujiang soldiers were injured, they were all in pain, and several people returned to the camp with blue noses and swollen faces.

When I returned to the camp, I told them that this was terrible, Lujiang Danyang already had a feud, how could I bear it if I came out and was bullied.

Because there were only three soldiers brought by Cao Cao, plus four people from Li Xiancai, the soldiers on Cao Hong's side were all selected from the Lujiang soldiers.

Several soldiers of the Lujiang soldiers brought those tun commanders to discuss, and unanimously decided to attack the Danyang barracks at night.

And they gave orders to the captains of the troops, that all their weapons should be prepared, and that it would be the middle of the night, when all men were asleep.

The 2,000 Lujiang soldiers all rushed to the Danyang barracks with weapons, cutting people when they saw them, and burning them when they saw them. They usually can't fight the Danyang people, and they always lose more in fights.

Now that there is a sudden sneak attack, the Danyang soldiers are sleeping, and many people can't figure out what's going on, and they don't have time to take the weapons, and they are cut down as soon as they get out of the military tent.

The sudden night attack of friendly forces could not withstand even the elite soldiers.

The Danyang soldiers were quickly scattered, and many people didn't know who they died in.

By the time Xiahoudun and Cao Ren organized a resistance of their men, the Lujiang soldiers had already attacked outside Cao Cao's tent.

Cao Cao was sleeping soundly, and when he heard the shouts of killing outside the tent, he hurriedly went out of the tent with his sword to check.

As soon as he got up and walked out of the tent door, the big tent was set on fire from the outside.

He hurriedly jumped out of the tent and saw that his guards had been killed and fell to the ground, and dozens of people were rushing towards him with knives.

Those Lujiang soldiers were also red-eyed at this time, as long as the clothes they wore were different from theirs, they were all regarded as Danyang people.

They raised their swords and rushed towards Cao Cao, who hurriedly swung his sword to resist, and cut down several people in the blink of an eye.

At this time, a man as short as Cao Cao also rushed in with a knife, cut down a few Lujiang soldiers, and said to Cao Cao: "General, go quickly." ”

Cao Cao didn't speak, only resisted the fight with him, and after a while, the two of them killed more than thirty people. The rest of the Lujiang soldiers saw that the two of them were too fierce, and no one dared to approach again, but just surrounded them, wanting to take the opportunity to cut them down.

At this time, Xiahoudun and Cao Ren also arrived with dozens of people, killed those Lujiang soldiers, and escorted Cao Cao to retreat north.

Cao Cao's military tent was in the middle of the camp, and to the north of him was Li Xie's Qu Division.

Li Xian did not sleep that night, he ordered his subordinates not to fall asleep either, he was waiting for the recruits to rebel.

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, when the shouts of killing started, he hurriedly picked up his knife and walked out of the tent.

He ordered the captains of the cantons to lead the men to assemble in front of his tent.

When the five hundred people were assembled, he did not give the order to save Cao Cao, because it was too chaotic now. He couldn't figure out who was rebelling or who the enemy was.

He commanded the crowd in formation, with the front row of shield men, the second row of spearmen, the third row of sword soldiers, and the four rows of archers, waiting for the battle.

When the Lujiang soldiers raised their swords to attack them, Li Xianxian shouted: "Stop, or shoot and kill." ”

The Lujiang soldiers were red-eyed, how could they hear it, and they still rushed in stride.

Li Xian no longer hesitated, and ordered the archers to launch an attack.

The Lujiang soldiers who rushed in front fell more than a dozen people, but they were also brave and still rushed forward.

The archers then launched a second round of attacks, and several Lujiang soldiers who were not shot rushed to the front of the formation, and were also stabbed to death with spears.

After shooting fifty or sixty people, those Lujiang soldiers did not dare to attack again, and turned to attack south.

Li Xian still maintained the formation, he was afraid that the formation would be scattered if it was chaotic.

He sent people to find out what was going on with Cao Cao, and at the same time to find out who was rebelling.

The scouts sent out reported that the whole camp of the Lujiang soldiers rebelled and attacked the Danyang barracks.

Li Xian was worried about Cao Cao's safety, but history records that he is fine, and if there are no other accidents, he should be safe.

Just thinking about it, Xiahoudun and the others escorted Cao Cao to retreat to his side.

Because at that time, there were rebels in the east, west, and south, and all the military tents were burned.

Only the north was quieter, and the tents were not burned, so they retreated to the north.

Li Xian hurriedly ran forward to meet Cao Cao: "Li Xian failed to lead the troops to protect the general, please punish the general." ”

Cao Cao shook his hand and said, "You are not guilty, but Ben will be too careless and did not believe your hunch." If you can keep the soldiers in order, it's already a great achievement. We will retreat to the north first, and then we will deal with it at dawn. ”

Li Xian led 500 men and horses with Xiahoudun and others to escort Cao Cao and retreat north.

After exiting twenty miles, Cao Cao ordered everyone to rest in place and wait for dawn.

Cao Cao sat down against a tree and said, "If it weren't for Wen Qian's presence tonight, it would be dangerous, and tonight's work would be none other than Wen Qian and Li Xian." He turned his head to Li Xian again and said, "Li Xian, are you the crown?" Can there be a table word? ”

It turned out that the short man who killed the enemy with him was Le Jin Le Wenqian, who was Cao Cao's subordinate.

Li Xian knew that his body was not yet crowned, and he did not have a table word, so he wanted to give himself a table word.

Now Cao Cao asked, he was in a hurry, and he only remembered that the meaning of the words taken in ancient times was similar to that of the name.

As for the meaning of the oblique word, he only thought for a while that the oblique is not straight, so he immediately replied: "Li Xianbiao's words are not straight." ”

Cao Cao laughed when he heard this: "Li Buzhi, your words are strange and refined." ”

As soon as he saw Cao Cao, he immediately knelt down on one knee and asked Cao Cao for his guilt: "Tonight's events are all Hong's responsibility, please punish the general." ”

Cao Cao stretched out his hand to help him up and said, "What is the reason for tonight's incident?" ”

Cao Hong replied: "Hong has inquired clearly, it was the Danyang soldiers who beat the Lujiang soldiers when they fetched water by the river, and the two places in Lujiang and Danyang have been enemies with each other for a long time, so the Lujiang soldiers attacked the Danyang barracks at night. The Lujiang soldiers were recruited by Hong, and Hong was willing to take responsibility. ”

"It's a negligence, before Lee... I have been reminded that tonight's events have nothing to do with you, but are the responsibility of the. After Cao Cao finished speaking, he leaned against the tree and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Li Xian commanded his soldiers to be on guard all around, and sent spies to investigate the situation in the camp.

After this chaos, most of the Lujiang soldiers ran south back to Lujiang, while the Danyang soldiers ran north to avoid the Lujiang soldiers.

By the time dawn came, Li Xian had already gathered more than 300 scattered Danyang soldiers in his hands.

Cao Cao sent people to the camp last night to clean up the remnants of the leftovers, and put the scattered soldiers collected by Li Xian under the command of Cao Ren's subordinates, and Li Xian still took his 500 soldiers with him.

All the way to the sour dates, there were a lot of soldiers who escaped last night on the way. When the march reached Jianping, another thousand men were gathered and raised. With the addition of the 500 people in Li Xian's hands, there are now nearly 2,000 people.

Five days later, Cao Cao's military horse returned to the sour date.

At this time, the princes of all walks of life were running out of food, and they had already returned to the county with their own people.

Cao Cao recruited nearly 2,000 people from Yangzhou, plus more than 1,000 people before, and now has more than 3,000 horses in his hands.

Because all the princes have dispersed, the thousands of men and horses in his hands are no longer able to attack Dong Zhuo, and he has no territory.

After resting for two days, he led his troops to Hanoi Yuan Shao.
