After Huo Du made a choice, he was very fast, and after a short time, he gathered all the 5,000 soldiers under his command, and then left Pingshi County with these 5,000 Jingzhou soldiers and returned in the direction of Xiangyang City.

Huo Du led his troops to leave the Ping family, so naturally he couldn't hide those families who had taken root in Pingshi County for many years, and when Huo Du led his troops to leave, these families also started to investigate the reason for Huo Du's departure. In the land of Nanyang, the power of the family is very strong, so not long after, these families received the news that Yuan Shu defeated Liu Biao in Xinye, and after getting this news, the family of Ping County also began to act, preparing to welcome the arrival of Yuan Shujun and cooperate with them to take over the Ping family.

When Huo Du led his troops to defeat the Ping clan, these families did not contribute to help Yuan Shu's army defend the city, such behavior will inevitably leave a bad impression in Yuan Shu's heart, although Yuan Shu is also from a family, and he also knows the reason for this, but knowing the reason does not mean that he can accept it.

So now these families want to make every effort to save their image in Yuan Shu's heart. Maybe those really top families don't care about these situations at all, but small and medium-sized families can't. Yuan Shu may not be able to clean up those big families, but it is no problem to vent his anger with some small and medium-sized families.

At this time, Huo Du also led his soldiers into Pingyue Mountain, Nanyang terrain is mostly plains, but there are also mountainous areas, this Pingyue Mountain is one of them, and it is also a main road. Huo Du is not impossible to return to Xiangyang from other places, but in that case, you need to take a detour, it is a few days longer than going directly to Pingyue Mountain, and now Liu Biao is defeated in Xinye, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, Huo Du chose to cross Pingyue Mountain and go straight to Caiyang and then return to Xiangyang.

Huo Du didn't expect that Yuan Yao would actually set up an ambush on Pingyue Mountain in advance, Huo Du thought that Yuan Shujun would choose to attack Ping's even if he made a move against Ping's, and he didn't expect Yuan Yao to hit his head and set up an ambush on Pingyue Mountain.

Leading his soldiers and horses to march on the mountain road in Pingyue Mountain, Huo Du's eyes looked around, although Huo Du thought that this Pingyue Mountain was unlikely to set up an ambush, but there should still be a vigilance. However, although Huo Du also sent scout scouts to reconnoiter the situation, they were in a hurry, so they didn't investigate too carefully, and Yuan Yao also worked hard in order to be able to fight this ambush battle, so Huo Du didn't find that Yuan Yao had set up an ambush in Pingyue Mountain, so he led his five thousand Jingzhou soldiers to step into the ambush circle set by Yuan Yao.

When he saw Huo Du and the five thousand Jingzhou soldiers stepping into the scope of his ambush, Yuan Yao smiled and said to Yu Shi beside him: "Captain Yu, it's okay." ”

Yu Shi didn't say much after hearing Yuan Yao's words, he took a step directly, and let out a long whistle, which directly set off a wave of sound. Now Yu She's cultivation has already stepped into the peak of the Yunjin Realm, and he is only one step away from being able to enter the Ning Gang Realm, and he is at the same level as Xiahou Lan and Chen Zhina, and his strength can also be ranked in the top ten under the command of Yuan Shu today.

A long howl spread throughout the mountains, startling Huo Du, who was moving in the mountain road, and his eyes were shocked, and then he quickly reacted and hurriedly ordered a retreat.

At this time, after Yu She's long roar, the shouting and killing sound resounded through the mountains and forests, and then on the left and right sides of Huo Du, an army of about 1,000 people was killed. Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao were killed on the left, and Wei Yan was killed on the right, all three of them clenched their blades and killed the Jingzhou army under Huo Du.

At the same time, in the rear of the Jingzhou Army, Liao Hua also led a thousand people to kill, which directly cut off the back road of Huo Du and the 5,000 Jingzhou Army soldiers.

Three thousand soldiers and horses came out and attacked in three directions, which directly plunged the Jingzhou army into chaos.

Originally, the mountain road of Pingyue Mountain was not very wide, so Huo Du's march was to line up his soldiers in a formation similar to the long snake formation, in order to be able to pass through Pingyue Mountain at the fastest speed. But this formation also has a disadvantage, that is, once the front and back are attacked at the same time, the formation will become scattered, and the current Jingzhou army is in such a situation.

Yuan Yao stood at the top of the mountain, beside Yu She, and then Qi Ji and Qin Yi, the two guards arranged by Yuan Shu for Yuan Yao, watching the four generals under his command attack the Jingzhou army from three directions, Yuan Yao's face showed joy. Although this Jingzhou army has a full 5,000 people, which is more than the number of troops brought by Yuan Yao this time, the war is not only decided by quantity, but also by quality.

Moreover, in the cold weapon war, the main general has a great impact on the combat power of the soldiers under his command, at this time Yuan Yao's Wei Yan, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, and Liao Hua launched an attack on the Jingzhou army led by Huo Du from three directions, and surrounded the Jingzhou army in the middle.

Huo Du held a spear in his hand and tried his best to command his subordinates to form a battle formation, in order to be able to effectively resist Yuan Shu's army, which had been in ambush here for a long time. But at this time, Wei Yan suddenly appeared in front of Huo Du with a knife, the long knife waved, the energy exploded, the wind whistled, and a snow-bright sword light slashed towards Huo Du.

The sudden appearance of Wei Yan surprised Huo Du, but Huo Du was not an ordinary person, and he quickly reacted, holding a gun across his chest, blocking Wei Yan's knife, but he was also shocked by the knife that Wei Yan had been preparing for a long time, and the qi and blood in his chest and abdomen flowed backwards, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Wei Yan saw that Huo Du vomited blood, coupled with the move he had just fought hard with Huo Du, he already had a rough estimate of Huo Du's strength, and immediately sneered, and the long knife moved again, slashing at him from Huo Du's left side.

Although Huo Du was shocked by Wei Yan's knife and vomited blood, his strength was still there, and he didn't lose much, at this moment, he danced the spear and entangled Wei Yan's knife, and then Huo Duce immediately stepped forward, and the spear was thrown at Wei Yan.

Wei Yan's eyes suddenly lit up at this moment, he dodged sideways, dodged Huo Du's blow, and then handed over the long knife to his left hand to control, stretched out his right arm, and grabbed Huo Du's belt, and then in Huo Du's surprised gaze, Wei Yan lifted Huo Du from his horse and fell to the ground.

Huo Du struggled to get up, but a long knife that shimmered with cold light suddenly appeared on his shoulder.
