Let's say that after Xiahoudun fell asleep, his own soldiers came to report that there were 100,000 troops under the mountain to surround the entire camp, and they were not particularly anxious if they did not attack.

After a while, after being fully dressed, Xiahoudun, accompanied by his own soldiers, went to the encirclement of the straw bales to check it.

In the end, Xiahoudun knew that Cao Bao's intention was to control the only water source and wanted to win without a fight!

In this regard, Xiahoudun smiled contemptuously, and then ordered all the army to be ready, bury the pot to make rice at the fourth watch, and kill directly to the mountain and the location of the water source on the fifth watch!

Although there were not many war horses in Cao Cao's army, he still allocated 5,000 cavalry to Xiahoudun, and these 5,000 cavalry was the reason for Xiahoudun's real self-confidence!

On the fifth watch, Xiahoudun was ready, and then led the whole army to kill down the mountain.

Cao Bao saw Xiahoudun killing down the mountain, although he was a little worried, but he was also full of confidence, with 80,000 people, and he couldn't hold the attack of 30,000 people?

However, Cao Bao forgot to think about it, 80,000 people surround 30,000 people, and it will not be 80,000 people in any link!

Therefore, under the attack of the 5,000 cavalry led by Xiahoudun himself, the encirclement of 80,000 foot soldiers was quickly torn apart.

And the encirclement was torn apart, and Xiahoudun did not pause, let alone wait for the foot soldiers behind, but went directly to the location of the water source!

At this time, the potter knew that Cao Bao's army and Xiahoudun's army were fighting fiercely, but he didn't expect Xiahoudun to be able to kill so quickly!

It was only when he felt the ground begin to shake that the potter reacted, and then ordered the army to meet the enemy immediately, but all this seemed to be a bit futile.

A mere 20,000 men is not enough for the cavalry rushing down from the slopes of a hill with smooth terrain, so where can they resist?

The whole battle became a one-sided situation, and the army of potters was naturally defeated by Xiahoudun. Although it was night at this time, Xiahoudun still saw the potters who were guarded by everyone.

Therefore, Xiahoudun beckoned hundreds of guards, and then took the lead in killing the potter.

Where had the potter seen such a posture, so he hurriedly led his guards back to retreat. Even if there is a war horse sitting down, where is Xiahou Dun's opponent!

In just half a pillar of incense, the potter was stabbed to death by Xiahoudun! Then the entire pottery merchant army was in chaos.

The 5,000 cavalry led by Xiahoudun successfully occupied the water source, and then beheaded the potter. However, the 25,000 foot soldiers who followed Xiahoudun suffered heavy casualties, and finally gathered to the back 10,000 under Xiahoudun's command!

The news of the death of the potter soon reached Cao Bao's ears, and Cao Bao was horrified. If the general general dies in battle, Cao Bao is not worried, but it is the pottery merchant who dies, once Tao Qian knows that at this time, he will definitely not give up, and he will not escape death.

So after thinking about it for a night, Cao Bao finally felt that surrendering to Cao Cao at this time was the best plan, so he gathered the whole army and said:

"Brothers, the eldest prince died in battle today, and only 60,000 of the 80,000 brothers under my command are left, and they are even more powerless to avenge the eldest prince.

However, if I return to Xuzhou here, my Cao Bao will definitely die, but the brothers are not necessarily comfortable, after all, it is the eldest prince who dies!

Therefore, I, Cao Bao, thought about it again and again, Xuzhou must have been unable to be saved, and he must be Cao Gong's Xuzhou one day, so among the brothers, there are those who are willing to vote for Cao Gong with me and stand still, and others can leave on their own! ”

An hour later, there were only 30,000 left of the original 60,000 army, and then, Cao Bao led the 30,000 army to the west and threw Cao Cao away!

Erxiahou saw that Cao Bao left without a fight, and there was no defense on the northern half of Donghai County, so he led less than 20,000 soldiers to occupy the northern half of Donghai County!

Three days later, Cao Bao's 30,000-strong army met Cao Cao, and Cao Bao sent an envoy into Cao Cao's camp to ask Cao Cao to surrender.

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard that Cao Bao wanted to surrender, and then ordered Cao Bao to be the general of Pingxu, commanding the original army of 30,000 and listening to the tent!

……

On the other hand, Sun Ce also marched quickly, and after occupying all the Xiapi County, he marched directly to Guangling County.

And all this was unexpected by Tao Qian and Tao Ying, who originally felt that Sun Ce wanted to attack the East China Sea.

However, at this time, Sun Ce attacked Guangling County, Tao Ying no longer waited, but pursued Sun Ce with Zhang Kai with an army of 100,000 troops!

……

Sun Ce in the camp.

"Lord, the scout came to report that the 100,000 army led by Tao Ying is only ten miles away from our army!" Zhou Yu said.

"Gong Jin, I wanted to leave this burden to Cao Cao to solve, but I expected that this Tao Ying would actually send it to the door by himself. In this way, we will work hard to defeat it and occupy Guangling County! Sun Ce said quite relaxedly.

"What the lord said is good, if I use a little trick, I can defeat Tao Ying!" Zhou Yu also smiled.

Then Zhou Yu summoned the generals of the second time, and then ordered like this, and finally the leading generals led the army to leave!

……

Tao Ying and Zhang Kai were behind Sun Ce's army, and they recovered a lot of cities without wasting their efforts along the way, so they were overjoyed in their hearts and urgently ordered the army to speed up!

"Second son, the scout in front came to report that he had met more than 10,000 soldiers under Sun Ce's command, and he was under the banner of Zhou!" Zhang Kai said!

"Huh? Week? It seems that it is Zhou Yu, the military advisor under Sun Ce! Can other armies be found? Tao Ying thought about it and said to himself.

"Back to the second son, I didn't find it!"

Tao Ying was overjoyed when he heard this. Then he urgently ordered the army to pursue Zhou Yu away! However, what Tao Ying and Zhang Kai didn't expect was that after chasing thirty miles, Zhou Yu suddenly stopped!

Then a cannon rang out, and two Biao troops were killed from the woods on both sides, each with 30,000 or 40,000 people.

Tao Ying's army was caught off guard, and there were no fierce generals to help, so they were suddenly killed in the north!

Zhang Kai met Sun Ce in the battle formation, and the two fought for two rounds, and Zhang Kai was beheaded by Sun Ce. And Tao Ying was even more unbearable, the war horse was cut off by the soldiers, and then even the people and horses fell to the ground, was pressed under the horse and did not get out, and then was cut off by a small soldier!

After the war ended, Sun Ce learned from the captives that this Tao Ying had been killed!

In this battle, Sun Ce's army killed 30,000 Xuzhou soldiers, captured 40,000, and the remaining 30,000 Xuzhou soldiers all fled into the mountains and forests!

As a result, Sun Ce was overjoyed, and then sent a captive to send the heads of Tao Ying and Zhang Kai back to Pengcheng, while Sun Ce led a large army to quickly occupy Guangling County.

In this way, Sun Ce achieved the level of occupying the two counties of Xiapi and Guangling as previously agreed with Cao Cao!

……

On this day in Pengcheng, Tao Qian on the couch was also always concerned about the war ahead, but what he didn't expect was that on this day, there were captives from Guangling County and Peiguo County at the same time, and they learned from the captives that Tao Shang and Tao Ying had been killed in battle.

Tao Qian didn't ease up for a moment, so he fainted, and only woke up two days later.

However, when he woke up, he drank two mouthfuls of porridge, and someone brought up the heads of the pottery merchant and Tao Ying, and asked Tao Qian what to do!

When Tao Qian saw the heads of his two sons, he didn't slow down all of a sudden, and he died with a whimper!!

Chen Deng saw that Tao Qian and his two sons were dead, so he had no intention of confronting Cao Cao anymore, so he sent people into Cao Cao's camp and surrendered to Cao Cao.

At this point, Cao Cao got all of Xuzhou except Xiapi and Guangling, and at Chen Deng's request, he dirty Tao Qian's family!
