Han Xuan learned that Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu abandoned Shouchun, and it was no longer a climate. Han Xuan summoned everyone: "The great trouble of Yuan Shu in the north has been solved, and it is now possible to use the army Wu County." By the way, what's going on over there with Sun Ce? ”

Zhong Xuan reported: "Sun Ce and Da Qiao gradually fell in love, Sun Ce indulged in pleasure all day long, and his ambition has gradually faded. It is believed that it will soon be able to be used by the Lord. ”

Zhang Zhao admonished: "My lord, Zhao thinks you can get the meeting first. There is still Zhou Yu's old department in Huiji County, Wang Lang is weak, and the lord can wave his army to defeat it in order to subdue his people. This lord can get a large number of soldiers, and can cut off the back road of Wu County. When Sun Ce joined the lord, wouldn't Wu Jun be at his fingertips? ”

Han Xuan stroked his palms and smiled: "What Zibu said is very much in line with my intentions, and I have ordered Chen Wu, Tai Shici, Zhou Tai and other generals to discuss the matter of attacking Huiji. ”

Han Xuan discussed the route of the march with the generals at the military aircraft department, and prepared to attack Wang Lang, the Taishou of Huiji, who was entrenched in Yongning.

Wang Lang summoned everyone to discuss and said: "Han Xuan's army is strong, I want to connect with Sun Ben to resist Han Xuan." ”

Suddenly, a member of the hall came out and said, "No." Han Xuan uses the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and Sun Ben is a man who has no faith in his words. If it is connected with Sun Ben, it will inevitably be a wall-to-side, and seek profits when our army fights with Han Xuan. According to what I can see below, it is too good to surrender to Han Xuan, so as to protect our lives. ”

Wang Lang saw that the person was a person from Yuyao, surnamed Yu, whose name was translated, and whose name was Zhongxiang, and who was now a county official.

Wang Lang angrily flipped Yu, and Yu flipped out with a long sigh. Wang Lang joined forces with Sun Ben, and Sun Ben sent troops to Yongning to rescue.

The two formations were in a circle, Han Xuan stepped out of the horse and said to Wang Lang: "I am a soldier of benevolence and righteousness, come to Zhejiang, why do you help the thief?" ”

Wang Lang scolded: "You are not greedy enough! It has Yuzhang and Danyang two counties, and it is strong and my world! I'll be dead with you today! ”

Han Xuan sneered: "Whether it is a fish that dies and the net is broken or an egg hits a stone, maybe this is beyond our strength." ”

Han Xuan was preparing to wave his army to fight Wang Lang, and Tai Shi Ci went out early. Wang Lang slapped the horse and danced the knife, Tai Shici pushed towards Wang Lang's door with a halberd, and Wang Lang held it with a horizontal knife.

Tai Shici's right halberd stabbed again, and Wang Lang was startled and fled with his horse. Wang Lang fought while withdrawing, and he didn't fight with Tai Shici, and Wang Lang's general Zhou Xin came out to help in the battle.

Chen Wu saw that Tai Shici was about to win the merit of capturing Wang Lang, and Pegasus caught Zhou Xin in the confrontation. The two drums shook and fought fiercely with each other.

Suddenly, Wang Ranlang was in chaos after the battle, and a Biao army horse copied from behind. Wang Lang was shocked and hurriedly returned to Ma to greet him. It turned out that Gan Ning and Zhou Tai led the army to assassinate obliquely, and attacked before and after.

Wang Lang was outnumbered, fought his way out with Yu Fu and Zhou Xin, fled into the city, dragged the drawbridge, and closed the city gate.

Han Xuan's army took advantage of the situation to rush to the city, distributed the army, and attacked from four gates. Huang Daozhou had already led his soldiers to set up catapults and bed crossbows, and the city was full of blood. Wang Lang saw that Han Xuan was in a hurry to attack the city in the city, and wanted to send troops to fight Han Xuan to the death.

Yu Xuan said: "Han Xuan's army is very large, and the general should only go deep and high, and do not go out of the strong wall. In less than a month, when Han Xuanjun's food is exhausted, he will naturally retreat. At that time, he took advantage of the void to cover up and kill him, but he could break it without a fight. ”

Wang Lang followed his advice, so he stuck to Yongning City and did not come out. Han Xuan attacked for several days in a row, but he couldn't capture the city, so he discussed with the generals. Zhong Xuan said: "Wang Lang stubbornly defended the city, it was difficult to attack quickly, he would pay for money and grain, and most of it was in Fu'an; Its place is dozens of miles away from here, and it is better to attack it first with troops: the so-called 'attack on it is unprepared, and it is unexpected'. ”

Han Xuan was overjoyed and said: "Yuan Chang's clever plan is enough to break the thief!" ”

Han Xuan immediately ordered to light fires at all city gates, bluff the banner of the Chinese army, set up suspicious soldiers, and withdraw from the siege to the south overnight.

Zhang Zhaojin said: "With the lord's soldiers, Wang Lang will definitely go out of the city to catch up, and he can use strange soldiers to win it." ”

Han Xuan said: "I am now preparing to go south, and I will only take the city tonight. ”

Han Xuan then ordered the army to march south.

Wang Lang's secret agent came to report: "Han Xuan's military horse suddenly retreated, for some reason. ”

Wang Lang led everyone to the city tower to watch, and saw the fireworks under the city, and the flags were not mixed, so he hesitated. Zhou Xin said: "Han Xuan led the army away, and specially set up this suspicious soldier. You can send troops to attack it. ”

Yu thought for a while and said, "Han Xuan is going, do you have to go to Fu'an?" I ordered my men and horses to chase after General Zhou. ”

Wang Lang agreed, and advised: "Fu'an is my place to store grain, and I need to be careful. Thou hast led thy troops first, and I answered them. ”

Yu Fu and Zhou Xin led 5,000 soldiers out of the city to chase Han Xuanjun. About to reach the first shift, more than 20 miles away from the city, suddenly a drum sounded in the dense forest, and the torches were bright.

Yu was shocked, so he reined in his horse and walked back. As soon as he stopped him, Yu Pan saw the person's face through the firelight, it was Chen Wu.

Zhou Xin came to greet him with a knife and was stabbed to death by Chen Wu, and the rest of the people all chose to surrender. Yu turned out a bloody road and walked towards Dongye. Wang Lang heard that the former army had been defeated and did not dare to enter the city, so he led his troops and horses to flee to Dongye.

Han Xuan withdrew the army and took advantage of the situation to take Yongning City, and Han Xuan ordered the army not to disturb the people and calm the people's hearts.

The mountains in Huiji County were very rampant, and Han Xuan had no choice but to let Chen Wu, Tai Shici and other generals divide their troops to attack to stabilize the territory they had captured, and not to attack Dongye for the time being.

At the same time, Cao Cao also led a large army to engage Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu learned that Cao Cao had brought troops in, so he hurriedly sent a letter to Liu Biao, asking Liu Biao to be the follow-up; On the one hand, he led the troops out of the city with Lei Xu and Zhang Xianer to meet the enemy.

The two formations were in circles, Zhang Xiu got out of the horse, pointed at Cao Cao and scolded: "You are a person who is falsely benevolent and shameless, how different from beasts!" ”

Cao Cao was furious and ordered Xu Chu to go out. Zhang Xiu ordered Zhang to engage in the battle first. Only three together, Xu Chu beheaded Zhang before the horse, and Zhang Xiujun was defeated.

Cao Cao led the army to the city of Nanyang, and Zhang Xiu entered the city and closed the door. Cao Cao besieged the city, and saw that the moat was very wide, and the moat was deep, so it was extremely difficult to approach the city. He ordered the sergeant to carry earth to fill the trenches; And he put together the miscellaneous with earthen sacks and firewood, and put them on the edge of the city to make stepstools.

Cao Cao also asked the army to set up a ladder to spy on the city, and Cao Cao rode around the city to watch the enemy's situation. Three days later, Cao Cao ordered all the soldiers to pile up firewood on the corner of the west gate, gather the generals, and prepare to go to the city there.

Seeing such a scene in the city, Jia Xu said to Zhang Xiu: "I know Cao Cao's intentions, and now I can calculate it." ”

Zhang Xiu asked, "What is Mr. Wenhe's plan?" Please sir teach me. ”

Jia Xu then said to Zhang Xiu: "I saw Cao Cao in the city and observed the city for three days, and he saw that the color of the bricks and soil in the southeast corner of the city was inconsistent with the old and the new, and most of the antlers were destroyed. Cao Cao intended to attack the city from here, but he pretended to go to the northwest corner to pile up grass and trees, and tried to coax me to withdraw my troops to defend the northwest, so his army could take advantage of the darkness of the night to climb into the city from the southeast corner. ”

Zhang Xiu sighed: "Mr. has seen through the tricks of the Cao thief, what should embroidery do?" ”

Jia Xu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This matter is easy, and in the coming day, the elite soldiers can be fed and drunk enough to go into battle lightly, and all of them will be hidden in the southeast houses; but taught the people to pretend to be soldiers and guard the northwest. At night, he was allowed to climb the city in the southeast corner. When his army climbed into the city, a cannon sounded, and the ambush soldiers rose together, and Cao Cao could be captured. ”

Zhang Xiu adopted Jia Xu's strategy, and had already reported to Cao Cao, saying that Zhang Xiu had withdrawn all his troops in the northwest corner, shouting to defend the city, but the southeast corner was very empty.

Cao Cao smiled: "Zhang Xiu Pifu, Zhongwu plan!" ”

Cao Cao ordered the army to secretly prepare shovels and other climbing equipment, and only led the army to attack the northwest corner during the day. At the second watch in the evening, he led the elite soldiers to climb over the trench from the southeast corner and cut off the antlers.

There was no movement in the city, and Cao Cao's army rushed in. Only a cannon could be heard, and ambushes were everywhere. Cao Jun hurriedly retreated, and Zhang Xiu personally drove the brave behind him. Cao's army was defeated, withdrew from the outside of the city, and ran for dozens of miles. Zhang Xiu killed until Tianmingfang collected his troops and entered the city. Cao Cao counted the defeat of the army, lost more than 50,000 soldiers, and lost countless baggage. Lu Qian and Yu Ban were also injured.

Seeing Cao Cao's defeat and retreat, Jia Xu urgently persuaded Zhang Xiu to write to Liu Biao, asking Liu Biao to raise troops to cut off Cao Cao's army. When Liu Biao got the letter, he prepared to raise troops.

Suddenly, he probed the Malay newspaper and Han Xuantun Binghukou. Kuai Liang analyzed: "Han Xuantun's army at the mouth of the lake is Cao Cao's plan. Now Cao Cao's new defeat, if he does not take advantage of the situation to attack him, there will be trouble in the future. ”

Liu Biao ordered Huang Zu to stick to the pass, and he led his troops to Anzhong County to intercept Cao Cao's back road, while informing Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu learned that Liu Biao's soldiers had left, so he led his troops to attack Cao Cao with Jia Xu.
