However, it was said that Yuan Shu led an army of 50,000 to Xiapi City in high spirits, and the army was like a game, without the slightest vigilance. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao laid an ambush in the triangle at the junction of Surabaya and Mushui, and burned the withered yellow reeds with a fire, burning half of Yuan Shu's men. Only then did Yuan Shu know that Cao Cao had been calculating himself all along, but he hated himself and thought that he had suddenly changed his temper...... Since the crusade against Dong Zhuo, how has he ever eaten such a field? After vomiting blood a few times, he scolded Cao Cao for betraying his righteousness, and in anger, he wanted to rectify the remnants of the army and kill him and capture Cao Cao alive. But when Yuan Shu finally collected more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and 30,000 Cao troops launched a charge against Yuan Shu's remnants under the command of Xiahou Xuan, Yuan Shu found that the strength and weakness had changed hands in an instant, at this time he had to consider not revenge, but because he should quickly find a way to escape, as for revenge, as long as he returned to Shouchun and rectified the soldiers and horses, Cao Cao was just an ant!

Seeing that Cao Jun was about to be killed, in a hurry, Ji Ling jumped into the cold and smelly Surabaya River with Yuan Shu in his arms and swam across the river. The foul-smelling river water made Yuan Shu's stomach tumble over the river and the sea, and the biting cold of the poop made him unusually sober, and the unbearable Yuan Shu spit out the filth on Ji Ling's back.

Ji Ling didn't dare to stay after swimming across the river, he carried Yuan Shu all the way south like an old cow, and ran for more than 200 miles until he stopped when he gathered under the wall, not that Ji Ling didn't want to run and couldn't run, but Yuan Shu's body couldn't bear it. After soaking in the icy Surabaya River, although Ji Ling quickly took dry clothes from a farmhouse and changed them to Yuan Shu after going ashore, but Yuan Shu, who had been pampered since childhood, could not compare with a military general like Ji Ling, and Yuan Shu, who came out of the Surabaya River, was always in a semi-coma, his head was hot like a stove, and he finally persevered until he gathered at the bottom, and if he continued to run, he might not need Cao Jun to kill!

It was the location of the last battle between Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and the overlord of Western Chu. It was a battle, Xiang Yu killed more than 40,000 people, was captured 20,000, Xiang Yu led 800 horsemen to break out of the siege, and soon killed himself in Wujiang, Liu Bang eliminated the biggest enemy in his life, established the Han Dynasty, and continued to this day! Hundreds of years have passed, and the ancient battlefield has been lost, leaving only the legends passed down by the local people.

At this time, there were 5,000 elite soldiers stationed in Yuan Shu, and the commander of the troops was Lei Bo, the general under Yuan Shu's account, Ji Ling thought that with 5,000 elite soldiers, even if the Cao army chased after him, he could resist ten days, with these ten days of effort, the reinforcements arrived early, why be afraid of Cao Cao?

Lei Bo didn't know that Yuan Shu was killed on the bank of the Surabaya River, and when he heard that Ji Ling had carried Yuan Shu into the city, he couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly rushed to meet him.

Ji Ling didn't bother to speak, and asked Lei Bo to immediately call the best doctor in the city to treat Yuan Shu, and asked Lei Bo to immediately send someone to order Guyang, Huailing, Hongxian and other places to strengthen vigilance to prevent Cao Jun's sneak attack, and at the same time close the four gates, without an order, no matter who calls the door outside the city, it is not allowed to open.

The doctor's medical skills are still very good, after taking a dose of decoction, the temperature on Yuan Shu's head quickly dropped, and after sleeping for more than five hours, a serious illness will be cured.

After Yuan Shu woke up, it was already the third day after the attack, looking at Ji Ling, who was serving on the side without leaving an inch, Yuan Shu said with emotion: "If it weren't for you, my life would not be guaranteed!" I swear by this, but with me, I will keep you rich and prosperous for all generations! ”

After sighing with emotion, Yuan Shu asked about the current situation, Ji Ling didn't dare to hide it, and reported the news he knew truthfully.

More than 20,000 people were killed in 40,000 troops, 10,000 were captured, only 5,000 people fled back to Xu County, the rest fled without a trace, Cao's army took advantage of the situation to attack Xiaxiang, Zhufilter, Tongguo, Xuxian, Louting, Zhuxian, the county defenders were defenseless, the whole army was wiped out, at this time Cao General Xiahoudun was leading the army to besiege Xu County. At the same time, the defenders of Zhuyi reported that the passage north of Zhuyi in Peiguo had been closed by Cao's army, and what happened in the north of Peiguo was unknown at this time......

After hearing this, Yuan Shu angrily lifted the quilt, gritted his teeth facing the north and said: "Cao Cao's puppet deceived me too much, I swear here, I will fight with him for the rest of my life......

After scolding Cao Cao, Lei Bo, who learned that Yuan Shu was sober, hurriedly came to visit, and Yuan Shu was furious when he saw Lei Bo, and scolded and ordered to retreat to Yinling. Lei Bo was frightened and puzzled, and carefully asked the reason.

It turned out that Yuan Shuyi knew the defense area of the generals under his command well, and when he saw Lei Bo, he knew that he had arrived at the Xiaju, where was the Xiaju? That is the place where the overlord of Western Chu did not have a way, when the overlord of Western Chu fled all the way after the defeat of Xingyang and Chenggao, and was besieged here by Liu Bang, and scattered the hearts of the Chu army with a song of Chu...... How similar is this to Yuan Shu's situation at this time, if he doesn't leave, do you want to stay and be Xiang Yu's second? It was impossible for Yuan Shu to say these words, he drank Lei Bo and let him do what he was told. Lei Bo didn't dare to say more, and gathered a large army to protect Yuan Shunan's retreat to Yinling.

More than ten days later, news came from all over the place, first Xu County was broken by Xiahoudun, before the city was broken, the defenders broke through to Guangling, under the command of Yang Hong and Chen Ji, cooperated with Guangling Yuan army along Dongyang, Ping'an, Sheyang to build defenses, blocked the advance of Cao's army, Xiahoudun tentatively launched an attack, and retreated to Xiapi after not yielding results. On the day of Cao Cao's ambush of Yuan Shu, Cao Jiangle Jin took the opportunity to transport grain into Pengcheng, because the Cao army had twice entered Pengcheng to stay and camp, each time they set off to Xiapi the next morning, and they were always safe, Yuan Jiangqiao Rui was thus paralyzed carelessly, and did not take precautions. Qiao Rui was caught off guard and was stabbed to death by Le Jin. On the one hand, he sent troops to pretend to be Yuan Shujun to defraud Zhuqiu, Xiaoxian, and Xiangxian, cutting off the connection between the northern part of Peiguo and Yuzhou and Huainan, and on the other hand, he cooperated with the main force of the Cao army to capture Lu County, Wuxian County, and Yongqiu. At this point, the northern part of Peiguo, the northern part of Pengcheng, Mount Tai, the East China Sea, and the connection between Yaoya and Yuan Shu were completely cut off by Cao Cao.

Yuan Shu laughed angrily, Cao Cao was a good game of chess, but he stupidly became Cao Cao's pawn, not only failed to snatch a bite from Cao Cao's mouth, but buried Peiguo, Pengcheng, and Taishan! Is this retribution? Last time, he took advantage of Cao Cao's retreat to capture these three places, but now he has returned them? Not to mention that the northern part of Pengcheng, the north and south of Peiguo, and Mount Tai are still in the hands of Yuan Shu, and the Donghai and Yaoya that they received before are also in their hands, and the losses are far lower than the gains, which is definitely not a loss! Maybe only a fool would think so, and Yuan Shu is definitely not a fool! Previously, Cao Cao deliberately scraped the East China Sea, Yaoya two treasury, Yuan Jun stationed only to find that there was not even food, had to transfer military food from Mount Tai, Pengcheng and other places, Mount Tai, Pengcheng and other places have been consumed almost the grain and grass before Cao Cao sent trouble, because Huainan's grain and grass can be transported in a steady stream, but when Cao Cao suddenly cut off the connection between the north and Huainan, this problem immediately highlighted, if he can't open up the grain road soon, Then the tens of thousands of troops in the north will surrender to Cao Cao in less than a month because of a mouthful of grain! The question is, is it possible for Yuan Shu to open up the grain route soon? It's obviously unlikely, not to mention that Cao Cao is so scheming, how can Yuan Shu succeed easily? Moreover, after a defeat in Xiapi, the Yuan army lost 55,000 elite people successively, which seriously weakened the strength of Yuan Shu, and more importantly, dealt a blow to the morale of the Yuan army! No matter how angry and unwilling Yuan Shu was, he had to endure this situation for the time being, but the price of patience meant that he might have to give up the entire north! Yuan Shu couldn't make up his mind, so he urgently summoned Yang Hong back to Yinling to ask Yang Hong's opinion.

Yang Hong finally escaped from Cao Jun by the Surabaya River, and was also full of resentment towards Cao Cao, but when Yuan Shu asked him for his opinion, in line with the duty of a strategist, he did not suggest that Yuan Shu send troops to retaliate, he offered a plan for two tigers to compete for food, and proposed to send the north to Yuan Shao!

Yuan Shu has always looked down on Yuan Shao, a slave (as a sister-in-law, he has always looked down on Yuan Shao, and privately called him a slave), and when he heard Yang Hong's meaning, he actually wanted to give Taishan, Yaoya, Donghai and other places to Yuan Shao, and he almost drew his sword and stabbed Yang Hong. Yang Hong unhurriedly explained the reason to Yuan Shu in detail. Yang Hong thought that since the loss of the north was a foregone conclusion, it was better to cheapen Yuan Shao than to cheapen Cao Cao, an unrighteous man, no matter what, Yuan Shao was always from Yuan's family, and giving it to Yuan Shao could not only show Yuan Shu's demeanor as a concubine, but also pull Yuan Shao and contain Cao Cao. And Yang Hong's most important reason is that he thinks that Cao Cao learned that he was so deliberate about his design, but in the end he cheapened Yuan Shao, he must be dissatisfied, and Yuan Shao is definitely not willing to give up the fat in his hands, which is equivalent to putting the two tigers in a cage, and then Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will inevitably have Mao Dun, at that time, Yuan Shu can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are both defeated, not only can they be ashamed, but they can also teach Yuan Shao a good lesson, so that Yuan Shao knows who is the leader of the Yuan family!

Yuan Shu gritted his teeth and agreed with Yang Hong's opinion, ordered someone to secretly go to the north, ordered the defenders to surrender to Yuan Shao, and at the same time contacted his nephew Yuan Tan to prepare to take over the territory. Yuan Tan of Beihai didn't expect that while sitting at home, a piece of pie fell from the sky and smashed it on his head, and without saying a word, he sent troops to take over the territory.
