Guo Yuan had already expected Tang Cheng's ending, but he did not expect the final battle.

He had already learned that Tang Cheng had died tragically in battle, and Xiahoudun had crossed the Yellow River safely, which was originally a moat, but he did not pay a single loss at Xiahoudun's feet, because he carried the corpses of Tang Cheng and three thousand Hedong soldiers.

After the envoy of the Cao army told the soldiers of the defenders of Hedong about the tragedy of Tang Cheng and other 3,000 soldiers, they could not prevent these heroic spirits from returning to Hedong, so Xiahou Dun drove straight in, and the whole army crossed the river, and when Guo Yuan received Tang Cheng's war knife, although he was furious, he could not blame the guards who gave up resisting, because if it was himself, he could only do so.

The only thing he could do was to order someone to send Tang Cheng's war knife back, bury it with Tang Cheng's corpse, and bury it in the ground.

Tang Cheng was indeed buried with the treatment of Xiahoudun and above the general, and there were 3,000 soldiers buried together, all buried on a high ground on the north bank of the Yellow River, sitting in the north and facing south, with his back to the mountain, stepping on the Yellow River, and the green trees next to him, which can be described as excellent feng shui.

Xiahoudun did not rush to attack, but Guo Yuan's life was extremely sad, because of anxiety, the hair that was originally messed up into a pile of grass already had a trace of gray hair, because Pubanjin was lost.

Pubanjin was originally guarded by his own brother Guo Kai, and the invincible Xiliang Ma family army was also blocked on the other side, Guo Yuan was extremely confident, and he didn't care about Ma Teng at all. But things in the world are changing all the time, and many things will always happen when people are extremely confident, and they will be slapped in the face with a loud face.

Just after Tang Cheng's death, Xiahoudun carried the coffin across the river, which can be said to have reached more than 100,000 troops, and the news spread, and for a time there was a wail and low morale everywhere in the east of the river, and the same was true of the defenders of Pubanjin.

Seeing this, Ma Teng felt that the opportunity had come, so he immediately convened the generals to discuss countermeasures, and overheard the next person in the account: "King, there will be a plan in the end, I don't know if it is feasible?" ”

Ma Teng looked at it, and it turned out to be his nephew Ma Dai. Ma Dai was originally a taciturn person, although his martial arts were not as good as his son Ma Chao, but he was not bad, and he was also among the best among the generals, because of this, he was also sent to Luoyang to envoy Liu Yong before, and stayed with Liu Yong for a while. It's just that after coming back, there are fewer words, but whenever he speaks, he will inevitably be able to say some key points, which shocks Ma Teng. Since Ma Dai opened his mouth this time, he must have a good idea.

"Ji Yan, what are your plans, come quickly!" Ma Teng attached great importance to his nephew's words. And Ma Dai used to call Ma Teng a general every time he was in front of people, and now he is called a king, but he never calls his uncle.

"King, Xiahoudun defeated Guo Yuan, killed Tang Cheng, and successfully set foot in Hedong with the help of Tang Cheng and the corpses of the three thousand Hedong Army without losing a single soldier or a single soldier, both fame and military prestige are more prosperous than a few days ago, if we can't achieve something, it will definitely damage the prestige of the king!"

Ma Dai's words really hit the key, this is the most anxious thing in Ma Teng's heart, if he is compared to Xiahou Dun, then in the future, his prestige will be greatly hit, maybe Zhong Xuan, the old fox, will take advantage of this to secretly make a move, in his own army, have to guard. But his subordinates are all reckless generals, and there is no difference between killing people and setting fires, but this is a strategy...... Ahem...... Forget it......

Ma Teng is really suffering from no one who can share his worries, there is a Ma Dai here, so he is not happy? At this moment, Ma Dai spoke at the right time.

Ma Dai paused for a moment, saw that everyone was a little dull and continued: "King, such a situation is also an opportunity for us! ”

The word "opportunity" suddenly made everyone present look at him in unison, waiting for his next step.

"On the other side of the garrison, the last general has already planted an eyeliner in Hedong three months ago, this time secretly ordered someone to secretly investigate, many of the defenders have no hope for Guo Yuan, but they don't dare to rebel, this time we can promise heavy profits, take the opportunity to win over two of them, we can cross the river in the same night, and seize Puban City!"

"In this way, this matter can be done, and if it is done, this king will definitely take credit for you!" Ma Teng almost jumped up happily after hearing this, as long as he took Puban City and stepped on the ground east of the river, with the majestic iron hooves of the Ma family's army, what else would Guo Yuan fear?

Immediately, he sent generals to listen to Ma Dai's orders and cross the river immediately.

A day passed, just when Ma Teng was living like a year, Ma Dai begged to see: "King, you can send troops!" ”

Ma Teng was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the general to raise troops, only half of the fifty or sixty thousand troops remained, and the others all crossed the river, and there was really no hostility on the other side.

landed on the shore and asked, the person who was tied up was the guard general of Puban City, that is, Guo Yuan's brother Guo Kai, and several generals wearing Hedong battle armor next to him immediately knelt on the ground and bowed: "The sin general greets the king of Guanzhong!" ”

This sentence of congratulations did not let Ma Teng float to the sky, and his prestige finally stepped out of the pass. Immediately helped up a few people, comforted and encouraged each other, and each of them was crowned a general, so that the restless hearts of several people suddenly settled down, and they made up their minds to follow Ma Teng.

Ma Teng also captured Puban City bloodlessly, and the news came out, which really shocked Guo Yuan, and he wanted to believe it, but at this moment, the head of the clan brother was placed under the account, how could he not believe it?

First lost the general Tang Cheng, and now went to the clan brother Guo Kai, Guo Yuan was suddenly a little dizzy, but the bad news came again, Xiahou heard that Ma Teng took Puban City, lest Ma Teng take the lead in killing Guo Yuan, took the lead, and immediately raised troops to move forward, and Ma Teng, who couldn't help it, also raised 30,000 troops, and killed Xie County in a big way.

Before he could figure out a way, news came that the Xiliang general Pang De attacked the county in one fell swoop, and he was coming straight to Anyi, the place of governance.

Guo Yuan hurriedly ordered to strengthen the city defense and defend against the enemy, but the Xiliang cavalry was extremely fast, and in less than a day, the scouts came to report in panic, and the Xiliang iron cavalry came to attack, and wrote the word "Pang" on the flag, not who Pang De was.

Under the command of Ma Teng, Ma Chao is the front army, Pang De is the vanguard, in the evening, the ground shook, and countless smoke and dust rose in the distance outside the city like thunder, with smoke and dust stopped, there was a cavalry standing three miles outside the city, and under the banner of the word "Pang", a mighty general stood up on the horse and shouted: "Yongzhou Pang De is here, Guo Yuan dares to fight!" ”

The sound is really cloudy, and there is no change in color among the defenders of the city.

Guo Yuan, who had just arrived, turned red and red, but he didn't dare to fight at this moment, which made the morale of the defenders drop a few points.
