Xiahou Yuan saw that the raging fire was burning and the Wuchao grain was burned to ashes, so he also ordered someone to inform Cao Cao quickly. Xiahou Yuan is also a very strategic general, and it doesn't make much sense to chase after Chun Yuqiong's defeated army, and it is more important to deal with Yuan Xi's support troops.

As expected, the spies sent out by Xiahou Yuan came to report that there was a large number of Yuan troops in front of them who were rushing to support, Xiahou Yuan was overjoyed, and the prime minister was really clever, and shouted: "Soldiers, the meritorious service is in front of you, now that the grain and grass of the Yuan army have been destroyed, and the defeat has been decided, they are the fish and meat on the chopping board waiting for us to slaughter, rush me." The soldiers of the Cao army were like being beaten with chicken blood, clamoring for Yuan Jun to rush over.

The generals of the Yuan army were Lü Kuang and Lü Xiang, although they had 10,000 troops, but the order given by Yuan Xi was to introduce the Cao army into the encirclement, and they were also very careful. Seeing that Xiahou Yuan led the troops to rush over, and saw that there were few soldiers, he was not afraid, if it was too fake, the other party might not necessarily take the bait. So, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang both fought against Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan is also a first-class general, and there is not much pressure on the Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang brothers, but it is not easy to win, although the martial arts of the two brothers are only second-rate, the two have cooperated for many years, seamlessly, and can exert higher combat strength.

The two sides were fighting, and at this time, Yu Ban rushed to meet Xiahou Yuan, covering the army and killing him, Yuan's army was in chaos, and the brothers of Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang abandoned Xiahou Yuan and led the army to retreat. When he was panicking, another Cao army came out, and the leader laughed and said: "Hedong Xu Huang, the plan of the prime minister of my family, you are difficult to fly, rush." ”

Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang were shocked, he didn't expect that Cao Jun still had ambush soldiers, and this task of luring the enemy was also full of threat, but he still believed that Yuan Xi, a young and wise commander, fought against Xu Huang head-on. Xu Huang is more brave than Xiahou Yuan, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang just fought with Xiahou Yuan, and now Xu Huang is obviously powerless to fight again.

The two brothers also hoped that Yuan Jun would come soon, otherwise they would be able to lead Cao Jun into the encirclement, and both of their brothers would die here. Yuan Xi also accurately predicted Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang's ability, and had already arranged for Gao Ran to answer here, but he didn't enter the tiger's den to get the tiger, and when the situation was very critical, and Lu Kuang's Lu Xiang brothers could be killed by Xu Huang at any time, Gao Ran finally appeared and shouted: "General Lu, don't panic, Gao Ran is here." So, Gao Ran fought Xu Huang with a gun, and with Gao Lan's reinforcements, the morale of the Yuan army was greatly boosted and he began to counterattack, and the Cao army, which had just taken the advantage, obviously felt panicked and was at a disadvantage. Xu Huang's situation is not much better, Gao Lan, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang fight together, he and Gao Ran's martial arts are on par, plus Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, who are not weak in martial arts, the defeat is decided.

Fortunately, Xiahou Yuan and Yu Ban came, Gao Lan, Lu Kuang, and Lu Xiang also did not fall in love with each other, and retreated while fighting, Xu Huang, Xiahou Yuan and Yu Ban led the army to chase and kill. Although the Yuan army was defeated, it was not chaotic, and Yu Ban was suspicious: "I'm afraid that the Yuan army is still prepared, and I am afraid that the plan will be pursued again, and there is still General Zhang waiting in the rear, which should be able to inflict heavy losses on the Yuan army, and we have no intention of chasing more." ”

Xu Huang disagreed: "The prime minister should have received the news of the burning of the black nest at this time, and he should have raised troops to attack Yuan Xi, even if I don't get the credit now, it is better to continue to chase and catch up with the army, not only can I help General Wenyuan, but also may capture Yuan Xi." ”

The two disagreed, so it naturally depended on Xiahou Yuan's meaning. Xiahou Yuan also thought that the pursuit should be continued, and with Zhang Liao's ambush troops waiting, he would definitely win a complete victory. The three of them led the army forward, and when they saw that Zhang Liao was being besieged by Yuan's army, they were shocked and hurried to the rescue. It turned out that Gao Lan Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang led the army to retreat and saw that the Cao army had not chased after him, and he was also disappointed, and was about to return to the Chinese army, and when he was about to attack Cao Cao, he suddenly killed a Cao army, and the leading general was Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao was ordered by Cao Cao, waited for a long time, saw that this Yuan army was retreating from the direction of Wuchao, thinking that the grain and grass of the Yuan army were burned, and was ambushed by Xu Huang. However, the situation was not as easy as imagined, this Yuan army was not easily defeated, at this time, Jiang Qi's reinforcements arrived, Zhang Liao saw that he was ambushed, and he did not panic, and ordered the sword and shield men to abandon the sword and shield to cover and retreat in the direction of Guandu, why not retreat in the direction of Wuchao? He guessed that Xu Huang's army was not far away, and he would definitely be able to arrive in time, and then he would lead the army to flank the attack, and he would definitely win a complete victory, which showed Zhang Liao's extraordinary combat command and ability to adapt to changes.

Not long after, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang and Yu Ban led the army to arrive, Zhang Liao immediately counterattacked, Yuan army could not resist, and retreated into a valley. Seeing that Yuan Jun had no way out, the four of them believed that Yuan Xi was now too busy to take care of himself, so they entered the valley and persuaded Gao Ran and others to surrender: "Four generals, the black nest has been burned, and Yuan Xi's defeat has been decided. ”

Gao Ran laughed and said: "My Hebei soldiers will never be greedy for life and afraid of death, don't waste your efforts." What's more, it is unknown who is the sword and who is the fish and meat? My son-in-law is like a god, how can he easily fall for the scheme. ”

Xiahou Yuan saw that Gao Ran was dying and did not forget to brag about Yuan Xi, and he was also emotional, shook his head and sighed: "Since General Gao insists on being buried with Yuan Xi, then don't blame General Ben for being ruthless." So, Xiahou Yuan ordered the whole army to rush and kill. The Yuan army also retreated while fighting, and did not panic, they knew that the major general also sent an army to ambush in the valley, as long as the Cao army was completely introduced into the valley, the whole army would be killed, under the command of Gao Lan, Jiang Qi, Lu Kuang, and Lu Xiang, the Yuan army introduced the Cao army into the valley.

Zhang Liao saw that something was wrong and reminded Xiahou Yuan: "General Xiahou, the combat strength of this Yuan army was originally inferior to our army, but now that the black nest is burned, Yuan Xi will be defeated and besieged by our army, but he is not panicking, I am afraid that there will be fraud." ”

Listening to Zhang Liao's words, Xiahou Yuan also woke up and was about to order the army to withdraw from the valley. It's a pity that it's over, and I only heard Gao Ran shouting: "General Han, it's time for you to appear!" The archers led by Han Meng had already been ambushed at the mouth of the valley, and when they heard the shouts, the archers who had been hidden for a long time shot towards the rear of Cao's army.

Cao Jun's attention was on Yuan Jun in the valley, and he was defenseless in the rear, and there were rolling rocks on the mountain, and he suddenly suffered heavy casualties. The valley has been patient for a long time, waiting for this moment, Gao Ran saw that the time had come, and said with morale: "Soldiers, now that Cao Jun is already a turtle in the urn, please vent the shame you have endured during this time on this group of turtles, kill." "Cao's army was in chaos, there was a large army in front and an ambush in the rear, so they could only defend with shields, but their soldiers were shot by bows and arrows, and they trampled on each other in a panic, and more than half of them were killed and wounded.

Although under the command of Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and Yu Ban, the situation was temporarily stabilized, but if they did not break through, I am afraid that the whole army would be annihilated. Xiahou Yuan immediately decided: "Now that I am besieged here by the Yuan army, it is inevitable that the whole army will be annihilated. After I broke off, resist the Yuan army, and the three generals led the army to break through. ”

Zhang Liao knew that if it wasn't for the rescue of himself, he wouldn't have been so defeated, so he said to Xu Huang and Yu Ban: "The two generals protect General Xiahou to leave, and it will be too late to be too late, I have affected the three generals!" After saying that, Zhang Liao went towards Gao Ran to kill, and the three of them didn't have time to stop it, and it was not the time to be sad, so they could only lead the army to break through.

As long as the Cao army does not break through again, Han Meng will have the confidence to annihilate the entire Cao army, but unfortunately, Xiahou Yuan chose a strong man to break his wrist, and under the desperate protection of Xu Huang and Yu Ban, he broke through the encirclement and fled towards Guandu. After Zhang Liao was captured, Cao's army, which remained in the valley, also laid down his arms and surrendered to Yuan's army. In this battle, the Yuan army successfully introduced the Cao army into the encirclement and broke the Cao army, relying on Yuan Xi's knowledge and precise deployment. Since then, Yuan Xi has become the all-powerful god of war in the minds of Hebei soldiers, making decisions thousands of miles away and destroying the enemy between talking and laughing.
