"My lord, Cao Cao and Sun Jian have both been defeated, and Xiapi is already in our pocket."

Yan Xiang stepped forward, his eyes showed joy, and he said to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu also laughed at this time, and said: "Pass my order, let Zhao Yan send all the soldiers and horses in the battalion, and I will take Picheng today." ”

Yan Xiang's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he said: "Lord, the soldiers of our army have just experienced a big battle, and they should recuperate at this time, and although Cao Cao and Sun Jian were defeated, they still did not retreat, and it is not the best time to attack the city at this time." ”

Yuan Shu waved his hand and said: "It's okay, Cao Cao and Sun Jian have been defeated, and their sharpness has been lost, not to mention that Sun Jian is seriously injured, and the Jiangdong army is not to be afraid, as for Cao Cao, just send a soldier and horse to pay attention to it at all times, and Liu Bei has already hurried to Xiapi, if you don't take advantage of the big victory to capture Xiapi, it will inevitably happen suddenly after Liu Bei arrives." ”

Although Yan Xiang and Xun Yue felt that it was not the best time to attack Xiapi at this time, but Yuan Shu's mind had been decided, Yan Xiang and Xun Yue also felt that what Yuan Shu said was reasonable.

Seeing that Yan Xiang and Xun Yue did not oppose him, Yuan Shu also smiled and said: "Fu Yi, the golden blood cavalry is a cavalry, and the siege of the city is not something that you are good at. ”

Ji Ling held the three-pointed two-edged knife and said solemnly: "Don't worry, the lord is here, and he will not let Cao Cao enter Xiapi City with a single soldier." ”

Yuan Shu expressed his satisfaction with Ji Ling's self-confidence, and then said: "Although the Golden Blood Cavalry is powerful, after all, there are only three thousand people, if Cao Cao raises troops to kill back, you don't have to block it with all your might, you just need to send the news back." If Cao Cao really has the intention of interfering, I will let him know that we know our strength. ”

After Ji Ling got the order, he led the golden blood cavalry away, although Cao Cao was flanked by Sun Jian and Yuan Shu, but there were still tens of thousands of people under his command, if he really killed a horse gun, it would be a big trouble for Yuan Shu's side. And with Ji Ling and the golden blood riding away, even if he can't stop Cao Cao, he can also let Yuan Shu get the news in advance and be prepared.

After the figures of Ji Ling and the Golden Blood Rider disappeared from Yuan Shu's sight, Yuan Shu pulled out the thunder beast mallet on his waist and ordered: "Pass my order, burn Cao Yinghuo, and at the same time send troops to Pi City, I will take Xia Pi." ”

"Yes!"

Yuan Shu beside him was a voice of peace, at this time Yuan Shu's side of the civil and military were all angry, now Yuan Shujun has defeated the Cao army and the Jiangdong army, it is the time of great morale, at this time to take advantage of the situation to attack Picheng is the best time, even if you can't take down Pi, you can also lay a certain advantage.

The morale of Yuan Shu's army was greatly boosted, and when he took advantage of the situation to prepare to attack Picheng, the Cao army and the Jiangdong army were miserable.

Cao Cao was first attacked by Sun Jian, and then stabbed in the back by Yuan Shu, suffering heavy losses, although he finally retreated, but only twenty or thirty thousand people gathered around him. Although Sun Jian successfully raided Cao's army, he was also violently counterattacked by Cao's army, if it wasn't for Yuan Shu stabbing Cao Cao in the back, maybe Sun Jian would be surrounded and killed by Cao Cao.

Finally, Cao Cao withdrew, and faced Yuan Shu again, and was hit head-on, Sun Jian, Zu Mao, and Han Dang were seriously injured, and the Tiger Guard was directly disabled, and Cheng Pu and Huang Gai finally tried their best to retreat with thousands of remnants.

Cao Cao rode on top of the shadow of the divine horse, and fled in a panic with a group of civil and military officers under his command, and at this time the situation of Cao Cao and his subordinates was also very bad, Xi Zhicai couldn't stop coughing up blood, Le Jin was unconscious, Cao Hong and Fang Yue were both seriously injured, and at this time, Cao Cao still had complete combat strength in addition to Cao Cao, and there were only Cheng Yu, Chen Qun, Cao Ren, Xiahou, Xiahou Yuan, Dian Jie, and Dian Wei.

When Cao Cao rode his horse and fled, a horse suddenly galloped behind him, and he quickly caught up with Cao Cao regardless of horsepower and rode side by side with Cao Cao.

Cao Cao looked at the knight who suddenly galloped over, it was Xiahou Yuan.

Although Cao Cao fled, he still left the two brothers Xiahou and Xiahou Yuan behind, and at this moment, Xiahou Yuan suddenly galloped over, could it be that Yuan Shu had already pursued him?

Sure enough, as soon as Xiahou Yuan and Cao Cao were in parallel, he immediately said: "Big brother, Ji Ling, the general under Yuan Shu, led three thousand cavalry to pursue, and the number was about two or three thousand. ”

"Two or three thousand horsemen?" Cao Cao was taken aback, and then looked at Xiahou Yuan with a strange color, and asked, "Miaocai, are there any other pursuers besides these two or three thousand horsemen?" ”

Xiahou Yuan thought for a moment and said, "No." ”

Cao Cao was thinking about the situation when he heard this, since there were only Ji Ling and two or three thousand horsemen now, they might be able to fight a wave of counterattacks.

After a while, Cao Cao gave up this idea, even if they could defeat Ji Ling and these two or three thousand horses, but in terms of the overall situation, there was no help, even if he ate all these two or three thousand horses, he could not save the decline. And who knows if these two or three thousand horsemen are the vanguard sent by Yuan Shu, in case Yuan Shu has other pursuers after two or three thousand horsemen, and they are entangled by these two or three thousand horsemen, wouldn't it be worth the loss?

However, if these two or three thousand horsemen are allowed to pursue all the way, it is not good news for them, once they are bitten by these two or three thousand horsemen, it will be very difficult to get out.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao quickly made a decision and said to Xiahou Yuan: "Miaocai, you and Yuan Rang Palace, Ji Ling counterattacked when he arrived, and then divided his troops to cover our retreat, and we will meet in Pengcheng later!" ”

Only against a relative general like Xiahou Yuan can Cao Cao make such an order, if it is other generals with foreign surnames such as Le Jin and Fang Yue, unless it is Cao Cao's diehard, otherwise Cao Cao will think deeply even if such an order is issued.

Xiahou Yuan did not have any resistance to Cao Cao's orders, and since he and Xiahou had taken over the responsibility of the palace, they had already expected such a situation.

"Don't worry, eldest brother, with me and Yuan Rang here, Ji Ling wants to chase after the eldest brother." Xiahou Yuan responded at this time, then turned his horse's head and turned to leave.

"Miaocai, remember to be careful, nothing happens." Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Yuan's departing back, his heart trembled, and reminded loudly.

"Big brother, don't worry, we'll see you in Pengcheng!"

Hearing Xiahou Yuan's voice coming from a distance, Cao Cao turned his head and looked into the distance, his eyes full of determination.

Today's defeat he Cao Cao remembered, never forget!
