According to Cao Cao's explanation, Zhang Xiu reorganized his troops and horses along the border of Runan County and began to march towards Nanyang County.

Li Wei's soldiers and horses are now stationed at the junction of Nanyang County and Runan County, just waiting for the soldiers and horses sent by Cao Cao to guide him into the country.

But from the beginning, Zhang Xiuda did not want to welcome Li Dao back to Xuchang.

He led a group of old troops of the Xiliang Army led by Hu Che'er and hurried straight to Nanyang County.

When he arrived at the capital of Runan County, the general who led the heavy troops here was Le Jin under Cao Cao, and led the deputy general Niu Jin to be stationed here.

After Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses arrived, he immediately sent people to send customs clearance documents to the city, and asked Lejin to switch to make way.

After the envoy entered, less than a quarter of an hour later, Cao's soldiers threw his head down the city wall.

Zhang Xiu, who was standing and waiting under the city, was shocked when he saw this.

He looked at the head in a daze, then raised his head, looked at the city wall above, and scolded angrily: "Le Jin! Someone who dares to kill me! I will be ordered by Cao Sikong to go out of Yuzhou to do things, you are so rude! Aren't you afraid of punishment when you turn back? ”

Not long after Zhang Xiu's words were shouted, he saw that on the city wall, Le Jin flashed out with a smile on his face, and said to Zhang Xiu: "General Zhang, there is an order, if General Zhang turns back now, it is still too late, but if he is obsessed and has to act recklessly, hehe, Hugh blames my men for their ruthlessness!" ”

Zhang Xiu was horrified when she heard this, and understood that Cao Cao had already seen through her thoughts, and had already let Le Jin ambush herself here and ambush her own subordinates.

In this way, he was the one who fell for Cao Cao's slow-hearted plan.

Seeing that Zhang Xiu did not answer, and did not say anything, Le Jin did not hesitate and directly ordered his soldiers to release arrows on the city tower.

Countless arrows poured down from under the city tower, shooting straight towards Zhang Xiu's Chinese army.

Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses were caught off guard and retreated in a hurry.

At this time, the city gate opened, and a cavalry of the Cao army, led by a military general with a big axe, went straight to the center of Zhang Xiujun's army to kill the general.

Although Niu Jin is young, he is a strong general, and the cavalry under the command of Le Jin under his leadership is brave and unmatched, and it can be compared with the Xiliang cavalry under Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu saw that Niu Jin was not an idle person, so he immediately grabbed the horse and pounced on Niu Jin in person.

Although Niu Jin is brave, his opponent is Zhang Xiu, who is known as the king of guns in the north, and Niu Jin began to gradually fall into disadvantage after playing against him.

But it's a pity that Cao Cao's placement of soldiers and horses is obviously not the only one in Lejin.

From the other four directions, there was a sudden earth-shattering shouting of killing.

The five ambush soldiers planted by Cao Cao took advantage of this juncture to move one after another and killed Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses.

One way is Cao Jiang Shi Lian, all the way is Jia Kui, who recently joined Cao Cao from Hedong County, all the way is Yuan Lian, and all the way is Zhang Ji.

The one in the middle is the most powerful, and it is Cao Xiu, who was praised by Cao Cao as the Cao family's thousand-mile horse.

After the five-way soldiers and horses stormed Zhang Xiu, the people who would be killed by his Xiliang soldiers turned over on their backs, and at this time, Le Jin in the city also led a group of generals out, and the seven-way army formed a horn momentum with each other, defeating Zhang Xiu's soldiers.

Zhang Xiu himself, under the protection of Hu Che'er and a group of fierce Xiliang iron cavalry, fought a bloody way in Zhang Ji's army, and rushed straight to the rear to kill back.

A group of Cao generals chased after each other, slaughtering the remaining Xiliang soldiers who were left by Zhang Xiu on the scene, and at the same time dividing their troops to chase and kill Zhang Xiu to the greatest extent possible.

Zhang Xiu didn't even touch the edge of Yuzhou leading to Nanyang County, so he was driven back by Cao Bing.

Zhang Xiu led the remnants of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, crashing like headless flies along the way, panicking like a lost dog, fleeing to the east.

The soldiers and horses marched to the boundary of Woniu Mountain, but there were Yellow Turban thieves Kou, Huang Shao, He Yi, Pei Yuanshao and other soldiers who had surrendered to Cao Cao earlier blocked the way.

There are soldiers and horses in front of him, and there are fierce generals chasing after him, there is no way to enter the sky and no door to the ground, Zhang Xiu's first reaction is to pull out the blade, ready to wipe it on his neck, and said loudly: "My qi is near, and I will die here!" ”

Hu Che'er had already rushed up with a group of Xiliangsu generals to prevent Zhang Xiuhengjian from cutting himself.

Just when they were pulling to prevent Zhang Xiu from committing suicide, He Yi, Huang Shao, Pei Yuanshao and others suddenly appeared in a panic behind the crowd.

But I saw several fierce soldiers and horses rushing over, fighting with these Cao generals, and looking at the banners and costumes - it turned out to be the Xuzhou Army.

Li Feng, Chen Ji, Lei Bo, Gong Du and others each led their troops and horses to repel He Yi, Huang Shao and others, and the troops of Guan Hai, Dong Xi, Jiang Qin and others came forward and surrounded Zhang Xiu and others.

At first, Zhang Xiu saw that someone helped him defeat the Cao army who was chasing and intercepting him, and there was already a glimmer of hope in his heart, but when he saw that the soldiers and generals of the people turned out to be Tao Jun and others, the heart that had just risen suddenly fell to the bottom again.

A huge chariot came to Zhang Xiu under the protection of a group of tiger guards, and the person on the chariot was dressed in golden armor, red robe, white and beardless, very handsome.

His eyes first saw Zhang Xiu's banner, and then fell on Hu Che'er's face, and said, "Your Excellency is Zhang Xiu?" ”

Hu Che'er hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, I am Hu Che'er, but General Zhang's deputy general." ”

The potter suddenly patted his head and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person...... Seeing that your bones are amazed, and your domineering body is exposed, I naturally regard you as the commander of the army, it is me Meng Lang. ”

Regardless of whether what the potter said was true or not, it was comfortable to listen to Hu Che'er's ears.

This Taiping boy is really good at chattering, and he really knows how to look at people!

The potter looked at Zhang Xiu pointed by Hu Che'er again.

Looking at Zhang Xiu's gray face and depressed face, he smiled lightly and said, "General Zhang, Tao has been waiting for you here for a long time." ”

As soon as he heard the potter's self-report, Zhang Xiu didn't come up in one breath, and almost didn't suffocate to death.

"You, you...... How long have you been waiting for me? That denunciation letter, is it really your divisive plan? ”

The potter shook his head lightly and said: "It's not a plan to disagree, what I told in that letter is the truth, Uncle Zun Zhang Ji was indeed killed by Cao Cao, and Yuan Wan and Mrs. Feng are alive now, both in Xuzhou, if General Zhang doesn't believe it, return to Pengcheng with me, and you will know as soon as you ask." ”

In this situation, Zhang Xiu has nowhere to go, and there are seven Cao troops chasing after him, and he doesn't want to follow the potters to Xuzhou now, but I'm afraid it won't work.

Zhang Xiu took a deep breath and said, "I have Cao's chasing soldiers in the rear, and I invite Tao ...... Taifu is in the lower block. ”

"Well said!"

The potter snapped his fingers lightly, and saw Pei Qian behind him waving the order flag in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Jiang Qin, Li Feng, Chen Ji, Lei Bo, Gong Du, Guan Hai, Dong Xi, and behind the talented potters, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, who had not yet made a move, each led the men and horses under their command, and rushed straight to the Cao army that was chasing up.

Although the Xuzhou army was shocking, but the discipline was strict, the formation was not chaotic at all, in the face of the seven pursuing generals of the Cao army, faintly occupied, and in a short time, the Cao generals led by Le Jin temporarily retreated.

Although Zhang Xiu also knew that the combat power of the Xuzhou Army was extremely strong, he couldn't help but stammer when he saw this situation.

Seeing that Cao Jun had retreated, Tao Shang immediately said to Zhang Xiu: "General Zhang, don't be stunned, let's go, let's go back to Pei County to talk, if you wait for the main force of Cao Jun later, Tao will not be able to protect you." ”
