However, it was said that Liu Bei heard that Zhao Xu broke Yuan Shao and won Jizhou, and he was infinitely happy, and Tian Feng, Fa Zheng and others were naturally also happy, and Liu Bei rewarded the full house of civil and military.

Tian Feng offered a plan to Liu Bei: "Now that Yuan Shao's general trend has gone, he can't be allowed to come back from cultivation, but General Zhao can take advantage of the victory to pursue, and now General Zhang San has quelled the rebellion, let him lead the army to help, and he will definitely be able to break Youzhou in one fell swoop." Liu Bei was overjoyed, and from Tian Feng's plan, he ordered the soldiers to press the horse to Zhang Fei and Zhao Xu on the same day.

But it was said that Yuan Shao was defeated and returned to Jicheng, remembering that he had broken the generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and lost Jizhou, and even Lu Bu had run away, he couldn't help but be angry, and scolded Zhao Xu and Liu Bei all day long, and brought in the eighteen generations of his ancestors. Han Meng said to Yuan Shao: "Zhao Xu is so rampant, Liu Bei is now powerful, and the trouble of the real heart must be eliminated urgently." ”

Yuan Shao sighed: "What I am worried about, Zhao Xuye, the rest is not enough to mind." Now Zhao Xu is guarding Jizhou, what can he do? ”

The judge said: "Now that Zhao Xu has just occupied Jizhou, the foundation is unstable, but he can lead the army to fight Zhao Xu to the death, and he should take advantage of this time to sweep Jizhou." ”

Yuan Shao had no other plan, so he had to listen to the trial and Han Meng's plan, and immediately grabbed troops everywhere, plus the original defeated army and the army horses of the headquarters, for four or five days, a total of 250,000 troops, known as 300,000. Now that it was the end of September, Yuan Shao ordered the troops to be sent in October; Han Meng led 100,000 troops to take the lead, and he led 150,000 to take revenge.

Zhao Xu's side, Zhao Xu and others were setting up wine in the big tent to celebrate, and they were drinking, when suddenly there was a thunderous roar outside the tent, like a thunderbolt, only to hear the shout "Haha!" Boxiong, second brother, I'm here! ”

Needless to say, when the generals heard a loud noise, they already knew that Zhang Fei was coming. He put down his glass and said with a smile: "Haha!" Wing De is here. He immediately got up and was about to go out to greet him, but at this time, Guan Yu had already gotten up and had already left his seat.

When everyone left the big tent, Guan Yu had already greeted Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu laughed and said, "Third brother, you are here." ”

Zhang Fei also smiled: "Second brother, I haven't seen you for a while, but I miss my brother!" The two of them held each other's arms, with visible tears in their eyes, and everyone didn't go up to disturb them, for fear of disturbing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, this kind of friendship, brothers are just like that! Everyone sighed in their hearts. Zhao Xu and Zhao Yun glanced at each other and grinned.

……

After a long time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came back to their senses, Zhao Xu immediately invited Zhang Fei to drink and celebrate his success, and after half of the wine, everyone was happy, and suddenly a small soldier Pegasus came to report, and Yuan Shao raised 300,000 troops and came to Jizhou.

Guan Yu stood up and shouted, "Hmph! It's good, this Yuan Shao has been defeated a few times before and I don't know what to do, but now we just broke him in one fell swoop and seized Youzhou. ”

Zhao Xu said slowly: "Yuan Shao! Hmph, yesterday the lord sent a letter, ordering me to take advantage of the victory to pursue, I was preparing to send troops in three days, I don't want this Yuan Shao to come to die in advance. ”

Even if Zhao Xu sent someone to probe Yuan Shaojun's itinerary, a few days later, the soldiers found out that Yuan Shao ordered Han Meng to be the vanguard, and he was the rear, and he came straight to Zhao Xu's side.

Zhao Xu had a plan and summoned Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others to discuss, Zhao Xu said: "Han Meng is better than Yan Liang, Wen Chou is more ugly, not a reckless man, we can ambush the army and break it." Yun Chang first led 5,000 troops to the road that Han Meng must pass to ambush, and when Han Meng's army arrived, don't fight, let him go first. His baggage and grass will be behind, but when he sees a fire, he can attack and burn his grain and grass. Yide can lead 5,000 troops to ambush in the valley behind the main road, and only see the fire in the south, and then send an army to attack it. Dian Wei and Zhou Cang can lead 3,000 troops, prepare things to ignite, wait on both sides behind Han Meng's army, and when the first guard arrives, they can set fire to it and then they can hit it. Everyone praised Zhao Xu's good strategy, and Zhao Xu said: "Zilong is the front, luring the enemy to go deeper, only allowed to lose, not to win." Lord Gongsun and Zhang Yan led 15,000 elite soldiers, and when Han Meng was burned, Yuan Shao would inevitably lead the army to rescue, and then you would lead the army to kill Yuan Shao, and when we burned and defeated Han Meng, we would join forces to attack Yuan Shao. "Make up your mind now, and let Guan Yu and the others immediately go out to ambush.

However, it was said that Han Meng, Gao Ping, Gao Huai and others led troops to the border of Jizhou, divided half of the elite soldiers into the front team, and the rest went to protect the grain truck.

At that time, when the autumn moon was in the autumn moon, Shang Biao Xu Qi. As the people and horses walked, they saw the dust rising in front of them. Han Meng even put the men and horses away, so that Gao Ping and Gao Huai suppressed the formation and personally stepped forward to the front. Looking at the arrival of the military horse, it was Zhao Yun who was the first general. Han Meng suddenly laughed. The crowd asked, "Why is the general laughing?" ”

Han Meng said: "I thought that Zhao Xu was very good at using soldiers, and he should not be underestimated. Now, judging by the use of his troops, these military horses are the front, and they are the enemy of us, just like a dog and a sheep fighting with a tiger and a leopard. This Zhao Xu was opportunistic before, but it turned out to be nothing more than that, and he would avenge Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Then he rode forward.

Zhao Yun stepped out with a gun, and Han Meng scolded: "You wait with Liu Bei, like a lonely soul with a ghost, why don't you descend early." Zhao Yun was furious and fought on horseback. The two horses intersected, and in less than ten rounds, Zhao Yun saw that Han Meng's marksmanship was exquisite, and he was only stronger than Wen Chou, and he was secretly surprised in his heart. Han Meng saw that Zhao Yun's martial arts were strong, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he rose up and became more powerful. Zhao Yun was defeated and left. Han Meng chased after him from behind. Zhao Yun walked for more than ten miles, returned to the horse and fought again, and walked again after ten rounds.

Han Meng saw Zhao Yun fighting and leaving, fearing an ambush and not daring to move forward. Jiao touched the horse and said, "Why don't you chase after the general?" ”

Han Meng said: "The enemy lures the enemy, and I am afraid that there will be an ambush." "I wanted to retreat, and I wanted to retreat easily as a vanguard, for fear that Yuan Shao would blame, so I immediately ordered Gao Ping and Gao Huai to lead 10,000 troops and horses to advance on the left and right, as a flank, if there is an ambush, it is good to face the enemy. Then he led the army to catch up with Zhao Yun.

chased for more than ten miles, and was about to catch up, when suddenly there was a roar of thunder, and Han Meng and the others who were shocked were shocked. Seeing a general with a leopard's head and eyes ringing eyes, the thunderous voice was made by this person, and the general shouted: "Yanren Zhang Fei is here!" Han Meng had already heard of Zhang Fei's name, and he didn't dare to underestimate it.

Han Meng said to Jiaojiao: "This is an ambush soldier. If Zhao Xu is not broken tonight, he vows not to quit. That is, urging the army to advance, Han Meng took Zhang Fei directly with his spear, and fought to more than ten rounds. Zhang Fei pulled the horse and left, and Zhao Yun also stepped back and left.

It was getting late, the clouds were thick, and there was no moonlight, and the wind rose during the day, and the wind became stronger at night. Han Meng only cared about urging the army to kill. Han Meng, Gao Ping and Gao Huai rushed to the narrow place, and there were reeds on both sides. When Han Meng saw it, he exclaimed: "The south road here is narrow, the mountains and rivers are pressing, and the trees are overgrown, if Zhao Xu attacks with fire..." "Han Meng was ultimately better than Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and urgently ordered Jiao to go forward to stop the rear army and prevent the army from being in chaos.

Jiao Touch's horse galloped, shouting all the way: "The rear army is slow!" But at this time, the people and horses in the back heard Han Meng's words and wanted to withdraw, thinking that the front army had been attacked, and they were all gone, and they could be stopped there. Before the rear army stopped, Han Meng heard the shouts behind him, and saw a fire burning, followed by reeds on both sides. All of a sudden, there was fire in all directions, and it was autumn, the wind was strong and dry, and the fire became more and more fierce.

Han Meng's men trampled on each other, and there were countless dead. Suddenly there was a loud shout, and when he saw Zhao Xu killing, Zhao Xu shouted: "Where will the thief go?" Han Meng didn't dare to fight, at this time, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei returned to the army to cover up and kill, and Han Meng smoked and rushed away.

Gao Ping and Gao Huai saw that the momentum was not good, and they rushed back, but suddenly the army stopped them in the firelight, and the first general on Gao Ping's side was Guan Yu. Gao Ping fought on horseback, wanting to take the road away. Guan Yu danced the big knife and flew to meet the horse. When Gao Ping saw it, he was taken aback and caught off guard, Guan Yu's knife started and cut it into two sections.

Most of Gao Ping's military horses were soldiers from Youzhou, who were forcibly recruited, and when they saw Gao Ping being beheaded, they all defected. Guan Yu waved his army to chase after him, and countless people surrendered, and returned with a great victory. Gao Huai saw that the military horses were all burned, and his battle robe was already on, so he hurriedly threw himself into the path and fled; I don't want to meet Chen. The two clashed, and the battle was not three, and Chen Zhi stabbed Gao Huai under the horse with a shot. Only Han snatched the road and escaped. The two armies fought until dawn, and Han Meng's 100,000-strong army was almost wiped out, and more than half of those surrendered. Zhao Xu just collected the army, only to see the corpses all over the field, all cooked by the fire, the air was filled with the smell of meat, and there were not 50,000 people who were burned to death, but 30,000.

Yuan Shao was on the march when a soldier suddenly came to report, looking at the soldier, his face was black, his hair and beard were burned to the ground, and Yuan Shao asked him anxiously. The soldier said that Han was ambushed and was defeated by the fire, and he didn't know what happened to his life.

Yuan Shao was shocked and angry, changed color, held his own power, hurriedly urged the three armies, and urgently ordered to move forward to save the emergency.

Suddenly the shout shook the sky, a team of Biao troops came out, slashed, the first two generals, that is, Gongsun Zan, Zhang Yan, Gongsun Zan, Zhang Yan two people directly took Yuan Shao, shouting: "Yuan Shao is leaving!" ”

Yuan Shao was shocked, and hurriedly sent the general Chun Yuqiong, and the leaders and governors of the department led the troops to the enemy, such as Yuanjin, Lu Weihuang, and Zhao Rui, and the two armies were in a scuffle, and Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan suddenly attacked, killing Yuan Shao's former soldiers and horses, and they were defeated and lost. The soldiers of Yuan Shao's former army threw away gold and drums, skipped halberds and guns, called for brothers, and lost five or six thousand men and horses in an instant. Xin Haochun Yu Qiong and others were killed, only to stop, the two armies were fighting, and after a while, Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan retreated, Yuan Shao was relieved, and ordered the whole army to rectify.

Zhao Xu ordered the three armies of all sizes to threaten from afar. Dao Zhao Xu secretly made all the military horses to capture the county, and all the military horses directly captured Jicheng to cut off Yuan Shao's back road so as to besiege and kill Yuan Shao.

When Sergeant Yuan Shao heard this, in the midst of the defeat, he believed it to be true, and hurriedly reported to Yuan Shao and said: "Zhao Xu divided his troops into two ways: all the way to take the county, and all the way to Jicheng. Yuan Shaoben was killed by Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan for a while, and he was frightened, and at this time, when he heard that Zhao Xu was going to cut off the back road, he was even more frightened. Urgently sent Yuan Tan to divide 15,000 troops to save the county, and Xin Ming divided 15,000 troops to save Jicheng, and set off immediately.

Zhao Xu discovered that Yuan Shao's troops were moving, so he raised the whole army and killed them together, and rushed straight to Yuan Shao's camp.

Yuan Shao's army had just been repaired, and suddenly Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan made a comeback, Yuan Shao urgently ordered the whole army to meet the enemy, and the soldiers were about to meet the battle with a tired heart, Zhao Xu and others led the army to kill, and the Yuan army had no fighting spirit, scattered and ran, and the whole army was defeated. Yuan Shao was frightened, he didn't have time to put on armor, he only wore single clothes and got on the horse, and his youngest son Yuan Shang followed. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Chen Dao, and Dian Wei will lead the army to chase Yuan Shao with Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan.

Yuan Shao fled to the Yongding River in defeat, there was no way to retreat, and he urgently ordered the army to build a pontoon bridge to cross the river, abandon all the chariots and gold silks, and stop the remaining more than 10,000 horsemen.
