Cao Cao was divided into five teams on the left and right according to Guo Jia's plan. Left: Lu Bu of the first team, Zhang Liao of the second team, Xiahoudun of the third team, Lejin of the fourth team, Xiahou Yuan of the fifth team; Right: Cao Hong of the first team, Zhang He of the second team, Xu Huang of the third team, Yu Ban of the fourth team, and Gao Lan of the fifth team. Xu Chu of the Chinese army was the vanguard, and Dian Wei guarded Cao Cao.

These ten teams first went to the reeds by the river to ambush, and in the middle of the night, Cao Cao ordered Xu Chu to lead his troops forward, pretending to rob Yuan Shao Dazhai. Yuan Shao's five villages and horses rushed to kill together, and Xu Chu did not fight with them and returned to the army and left.

Yuan Shao led the army to come, the soldiers of the Yuan army shouted endlessly, and Cao Bing fled all the way south. When it was dawn and rushed to the river, Cao Jun had no way to retreat. Cao Cao shouted: "There is no way forward, why don't the armies fight to the death?" Those who kill Yuan Shao will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and ten thousand households will be sealed! ”

The army turned around and fought forward, Xu Chu took the lead, and killed more than a dozen generals such as Yan Chang, He Mao, and Wang Mo under Yuan Shao. The Cao army fought to the death, and Yuan Jun watched this group of outlaws in chaos.

Yuan Shao retreated and hurriedly returned, and the Cao army rushed behind him. Yan Liang and Wen Chou protected Yuan Shao and retreated, and with a sound of drums, Xiahou Yuan on the left and Gao Lan on the right, the two armies rushed out.

"Wow, wow, go, look, you betrayer. I, Yan Liang, will behead you today! The lord will go first, and I will stop the enemy soldiers. Yan Liang slapped his horse and danced his knife to meet Gao Lan, and Xiahou Yuan's flying horse only took Yuan Shao, but was stopped by Wen Chou's gun.

Yuan Shao took his three sons and Gao Gan and desperately rushed out of a bloody road. Less than ten miles away, the left side of the Lejin, the right side of the forbidden killing, Cao Jun waited for work, killed Yuan Jun's corpses all over the field, and the blood flowed into a canal.

After walking less than a few miles, Lu Bu on the left led a large group of Cao cavalry to kill, Yuan Shao was shocked and urgently ordered Sun Ce to block it. On the right, a fierce general holding a stone axe rushed to kill, the person who came was Xu Huang, Xu Huang's big axe had long been hungry and thirsty, and now in the face of this group of frightened Yuan army, it was like entering a no-man's land, the number of Yuan troops was still large, the two armies intercepted and killed for a while, and the Yuan army suffered heavy casualties.

Sun Ce and Lu Bu fought for more than 30 years, and the spear in Sun Ce's hand trembled slightly, and being able to fight with a top martial artist like Lu Bu was of great benefit to his martial arts breakthrough.

Sun Ce picked off Lu Bu's Fang Tian painting halberd with one shot, stopped the retreating horse's hooves and said, "Lu Bu, I wanted to fight with you for a long time, and today is a good opportunity." Come, you and I don't care about the two armies fighting, but you go out with me to fight for a hundred rounds! ”

Sun Ce turned his horse's head and went out of the battle to kill, and many Cao soldiers who were not long-eyed rushed over, all of whom were picked up or stabbed to death by Sun Ce's spear. Lu Bu urged the horse to catch up, he hadn't fought so happily for a long time.

Sun Ce stopped at a reed swing by the river, looking back at Lu Bu who had arrived, Sun Ce said: "General Fengxian, you are excellent in martial arts, why do you stoop to Cao Cao today?" Why don't you go to Jiangdong with me and help me destroy Han Hao, with my brother Sun Quan in charge, if you get the help of the general, why worry about the big thing? You and I were defeated by the hands of villains, in Cao Ying, Cao Cao often insulted the two of us, why not be ashamed now! ”

Lu Bu listened to Sun Ce's words and loosened the Fang Tian Painting Halberd, but when he remembered Diao Chan and his wife and daughter who were still in Xu Du, he raised the Fang Tian Painting Halberd and pointed at Sun Ce and said, "I, Lu Bu, have been treated as a repeat person several times. Now Cao Cao will not give up, spare Bu's life, and Bu Anken will rebel again? ”

Sun Ce raised his head and smiled: "Lu Bu, I treat you as a man in vain, why are you so cowardly?" ”

A trace of anger and unwillingness flashed in Lu Bu's eyes, and then he calmed down, and he smiled: "Sun Ce, you defected to Yuan Shao. But your wife is still in Cao Cao's hands, can you bear to let them be raised by Cao Cao? ”

"What do you mean by that?" Sun Ce asked in surprise, he thought of his stepwife Da Qiao and that son, and the hand holding the gun was trembling.

"Hehe, Cao thief has a habit, don't you know? I heard that Cao Cao returned to Xu Capital not long ago and often went to your residence, and I heard that your wife Qiao was taken to the mansion by him, I am afraid that ......" Lu Bu sighed, and looked at Sun Ce's eyes full of sympathy.

Sun Ce couldn't take off this green hat, and the reason why Lu Bu refused to rebel was because he was afraid that Cao Cao would forcibly occupy his wife and concubine. Yan and Diao Chan are both big beauties, Cao Cao has long been hungry and thirsty, as long as Lu Bu is still by Cao Cao's side, Cao Cao will not dare to touch them.

"Say no more! A big husband can bend and stretch, how can he be burdened by a woman? Sun Ce didn't care on the surface, but his chest was full of anger.

"Well, in that case. Give it your all! Lu Bu's eyes were full of anticipation.

"Ahhhh Cao thief, dare to be like this? Sun Ce was so sad and indignant that the spear in his hand stabbed at Lu Bu again and again, and the more Lu Bu fought, the more excited he became, and the combat power that erupted under Sun Ce's anger had already caught up with him.

The two of them exchanged horses and a halberd and a gun, and the moves were wide open and closed, far away from the battlefield where thousands of armies were fighting, and the two of them also fought in the dark. Sun Ce's strength had reached its peak at this time, and after losing to Han Xuan, Han Xuan used wine to wipe out his arrogance.

Sun Ce's moves were not missed, and Lu Bu was extremely surprised, although the physical strength of the two passed quickly, but Lu Bu did not feel tired. Just when Sun Ce's offensive could not last, neither Lu Bu nor Sun Ce saw it, and an old man next to him was weaving a straw rope there, and the old man came over to set up the straw rope, just waiting for Sun Ce's horse to rush over.

Sun Ce didn't seem to see the old man, so he rushed straight towards Lu Bu on his horse, Sun Ce's horse's hooves stepped into the straw rope, and the horse lost its front hooves, tripping Sun Ce to the ground. Lu Bu was taken aback, he didn't see the old man, he didn't know where the straw rope came from, but he still caught Sun Ce, and Lu Bu ordered his subordinates to tie up Sun Ce and hand it over to Cao Cao for credit.

Cao Cao thought to himself that he had already occupied Da Qiao, Sun Ce would be jealous of him in his heart, and Sun Ce was not a subordinate of others. Cao Cao waved his hand and asked the executioner to drag Sun Ce down and behead him, Sun Ce was pushed to the execution table by several Cao soldiers, he closed his eyes unwillingly, the executioner raised and fell, and Sun Ce ended his life like this.

Yuan Shao's father and son fled from the pursuit of Cao Jun, and the father and son remembered Cao Jun's bravery, as well as Lu Bu, who was like a killing god, and they all suddenly felt frightened, so they had to flee back to the previous military village. Yuan Shao ordered the three armies to make rice, and his subordinates brought a bowl of hot porridge, Yuan Shao was just ready to eat, Zhang Liao on the left, Zhang He on the right, and went straight to the village.

Yuan Shao hurriedly got on his horse and fled back to Cangting. Yuan soldiers and horses were tired and were about to rest, when Cao Cao's army came behind him, and Yuan Shao gave up his life and left. On the way to escape, he met Cao Jun again, Cao Hong on the right and Xiahoudun on the left, blocking the way. Yuan Shao shouted at his subordinates: "If you don't fight to the death, you will be captured!" ”

Yuan Shao drew his sword and took his three sons, and fought hard with Gao Gan, Yuan Shao's defeated army mustered up morale to fight the enemy, and Yuan Shao was able to get out of the encirclement. Yuan Xi and Gao Gan were both wounded by arrows, and their horses died.

Yuan Shao hugged his three sons and cried bitterly, and unconsciously fainted on the ground. Everyone hurriedly rescued, Yuan Shao vomited blood, and sighed: "I have fought dozens of battles since I have been here, but I don't want to be embarrassed so much today!" Mourn me on this day! You and the others will go back to their own state and swear to fight with the Cao thief! ”

Yuan Shao taught Xin Ping and Guo Tu to follow Yuan Tan to Qingzhou for rectification, fearing that Cao Cao would violate the border; Ling Yuan Xi still returned to Youzhou, and Gao Gan still returned to Merge State: each went to pack up the men and horses for calling. Yuan Shao introduced Yuan Shang and others to Jizhou to recuperate, so that Yuan Shang and the trial match, Feng Ji temporarily took charge of the military, and Tian Feng repaired the internal affairs.

Cao Cao won a great victory from Cangting, rewarded the three armies, and let people explore the reality of Jizhou. Carefully reciprocated: "Yuan Shao is sick in bed. Yuan Shang and the trial guarded the city. Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Gao Gan all returned to Benzhou. ”

All the generals persuaded Cao Cao to take advantage of Yuan Shao's serious illness to attack Jizhou, but Cao Cao said: "Jizhou has a wide range of grain, and there is an opportunity to judge and match, so it cannot be pulled out in a hurry." Now that the crops are in the field, I am afraid that the people's industry will be wasted, and it is not too late to take it after the autumn is grown. ”
