Cao Cao attached great importance to Han Fei when he learned that he was still garrisoning troops outside the city, and sent a large number of scouts to monitor him, and at the same time urgently dispatched everyone to discuss countermeasures.

It is worth mentioning that Sima Yi has been appreciated by Cao Cao with this offering, which will be full of ambition and a posture to show his talents. Guo Jia was secretly vigilant in his eyes, and he didn't know why he always had no good impression of this Sima Yi, and subconsciously felt that this person would definitely bring boundless disasters to Cao Cao's regime in the future. However, at this moment, Cao Cao intended to support him, but Guo Jia did not jump out to stop it, some things would be very troublesome if they were carried out in secret, but it would be much easier to monitor them on the bright side. Therefore, Guo Jiazheng needed Cao Cao to reuse Sima Yi so that he could see this person carefully up close.

Perhaps because Xun Yu still remembered the Han family in his heart, Cao Cao deliberately stripped him out of the power center and kept him stationed in Xuchang, so most of the soldiers who went out later only took Guo Jia with him. Now I'm afraid that in addition to Guo Jia, I will bring Sima Yi with me.

Cao Cao called everyone over to ask what was going to happen next, and Guo Jia couldn't help but be stunned when he heard that Han Fei was still outside Julu City. I secretly wondered if Han Fei had any other backhand. At this time, Sima Yi spoke: "Lord, my subordinates think that there is no need to be too nervous about this matter!" ”

"Oh? What does Chung Tat think? Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi noncommittally and asked casually.

Sima Yi opened his mouth and said: "I think that Han Fei must be unwilling to lose the giant deer, so he wanders outside the city and refuses to leave, but as long as the lord orders to strictly guard the city, there will be nothing he can do if he is not given a chance to forgive him." ”

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this and said, "What Zhong Da said has some truth, but does Han Fei really have no other thoughts?" As he spoke, Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia. I saw Guo Jia frowning, obviously still thinking. But at this moment, the scout ran in to report: Qi Yu Lord, Liu Beijun's camp outside the city has just sent a group of men and horses to the south.

Before Cao Cao could speak, Guo Jia suddenly said in surprise: "How many men and horses does my army still have in Handan?" ”

Cao Cao was stunned and turned his head to look at Xiahou Yuan, the rear army has always been under the control of Xiahou Yuan, and the one who stayed in Handan was also Xiahou Yuan's deputy general named Wang Le. Seeing Cao Cao's view, Xiahou Yuan immediately replied: "The lord Handan is left behind by Wang Le, and there are 5,000 men and horses. ”

Guo Jia's face changed when he heard this: "The lord is not good, then Han Fei will definitely send someone to cut me off and wait for the back road." Looks like he's trying to leave us all here! ”

After Guo Jia finished speaking, Cao Cao's face also changed, because at this moment, Cao Cao listened to Guo Jia's words and immediately felt that this possibility was very high. There is no way that Cao Cao's character is like this, he is already suspicious, and when he heard Guo Jia say it, he immediately became nervous. However, after the tension was over, Cao Cao immediately ordered Xiahou Yuan to lead an army of 5,000 to Handan, and it was necessary to stabilize the back road. Xiahou Yuan didn't dare to hesitate and immediately led his troops out of Julu City and went straight to Handan.

Han Fei did have the intention of keeping Cao Cao in Jizhou, if so, the road to domination of the world would be much smoother. For this reason, Han Fei wrote a special letter to Liu Bei and Guan Yu, first, to tell his thoughts. The other is to persuade Guan Yu to personally lead a large army to hunt Cao Cao.

If Guan Yu comes again, he will definitely be able to overwhelm the generals of Cao Ying in terms of force, and it will have a great impact on the morale of Cao's army at that time. Seeing that the letter had been sent, Han Fei decided to send troops to test it first. Just as Gao Ran had just arrived, Han Fei asked him to take 5,000 men and horses to get Handan. Zhang Fei also secretly went out of the camp with 3,000 men and horses, and then ambushed Julu on the road to Handan.

This arrangement is to see Cao Cao's reaction, if Cao Cao really sent troops to save Handan, it must show that he is also worried about his own back, and his move is considered to be the key point of Cao Cao.

Zhang Fei led people to hide in the woods on both sides of the mainland, and it was almost noon at this time. Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and there was really a Cao army rushing this way. Zhang Fei suddenly muttered: "Ha! really let Fei Boy say it, Cao Jun really wanted to send someone to rescue Handan. ”

As soon as Zhang Fei finished speaking, Cao Jun in the distance was already clearly visible. As a result, Zhang Fei was a little dumbfounded when he saw Daqi, and said in his heart: "This Xiahou won't be my cheap old man again!" But at this time, there was no time to think about it, seeing that the vanguard cavalry of the Cao army had stepped into the ambush range set by himself, Zhang Fei roared, and suddenly arrows rained down.

Cao Jun was suddenly hit hard and immediately became a mess, Zhang Fei saw that the enemy army was in chaos, and immediately led his troops to kill. In this round of killing, Cao Jun was killed by Zhang Fei and scattered and fled, and suddenly a general of Cao Jun waved a knife and slashed at Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei hurriedly parried with a snake spear. As a result, when I looked at people, I smiled bitterly in my heart. Sure enough, he was afraid of something, and the general with the knife was his cheap old man Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan was taken aback when he saw his subordinates being attacked, and then his face turned ugly. You must know that Cao Cao's command only has 8,000 cavalry at the moment, except for the tiger and leopard cavalry, and he brought 5,000 cavalry with him this time, and if he is buried here, the cavalry under Cao Cao's command will be even more insufficient.

Therefore, when he saw Zhang Fei Shiwei, although he knew that he was invincible, he hurried up to stop him. However, Zhang Fei didn't think about hurting him, and after blocking Xiahou Yuan's big knife with a spear, Zhang Fei said: "This road is not passable, and I don't embarrass you to wait, just retreat!" ”

Xiahou Yuan looked at the soldiers around him, and immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!" All the soldiers will withdraw with me! After that, he looked at Zhang Fei, then sighed and left.

At this time, Zhang Fei's lieutenant Zhang Da stepped forward and said, "The three generals just let them go?" Or your subordinates will take someone to kill for a while. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Fei glared and said: "Lao Tzu wants you to take care of your actions, why don't you go and clean up the battlefield quickly, and pull those war horses and me back to the camp." ”

"Alas!" Zhang Da didn't dare to say more, and immediately took people to clean up the battlefield. Liu Beijun won this battle, all that was left on the ground were Cao Jun's corpses, and there were a total of 867 corpses after cleaning the battlefield.

Zhang Fei didn't mention it when he returned to the camp, just said that Xiahou Yuan was defeated and returned. When he returned to the city, he didn't dare to stay and immediately came to see Cao Cao. Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this, and immediately summoned Guo Jia to come to discuss.

After Guo Jia arrived, he listened to what happened, and said: "The lord has two strategies for the lord to choose. First, immediately abandon this giant deer city and lead the army straight to Handan. Handan will inevitably fall in a battle, and then our army can take the opportunity to return to Yecheng. ”

Cao Cao's face suddenly became even more ugly after hearing this, but he didn't say anything but motioned for Guo Jia to continue. Guo Jia opened his mouth again: "Second, it is to send people back and order General Cao Ren to come to the rescue with a large army, at least 50,000 more horses, and I am afraid that if there are few, I will not be able to make contributions." ”
