Shanyang City was in the Shanyang District of Jiaozuo, Henan Province in the later generations, Yan Rou bequeathed Yuan to the city, and the defenders no longer had the fighting spirit to open the city gates and surrendered. Yan Rou had to surrender nearly 30,000 troops.

Yan Rou had a total of 60,000 troops, and in accordance with Liu Kuan's orders, he escorted Yuan Yu and led the army to come to Chenliu day and night. And Liu Kuan left Sun Guan to cooperate with Qiao Yu to stay in Xiaqiu, disrupted Liu Dai's army and distributed it to various departments, still led 100,000 people, listened to Xun You's plan, ignored Chen Liu, went straight to Dongjun, and came to Cao Cao's Dongjun Governor's office.

However, it was said that Cao Cao and Zhang Miao learned that Liu Dai was killed in battle, and Chen Liu's confrontation lasted for a long time, and he was anxious.

One day, in the account, Guo Jiayan said: "The lord, now Dongjun, there is Yuan Shao in the north, Yuan Shu in the south, and Liu Kuan in the east, it is a dangerous place of chaotic war, and it cannot stay for a long time. Tao Gongzu in Xuzhou is old and weak, surrounded by Liu Kuan and Yuan Shu, and it is difficult to survive in the slits. Now Dong Zhuo is dead, his subordinates will fall apart, and they will not last, Si Li, Yongzhou, there is no owner in the melee, you might as well follow Gaozu, and seek the world according to Guanzhong! ”

Xi Zhong Xi Zhicai said: "The strategy of filial piety, far-sighted and far-sighted, the current matter, can still fight, how to give up?" ”

Cao Cao laughed: "Although Liu Zihua has enough soldiers, he is also a fierce general, waiting for me to repel Ji Ling, it is easy to take Liu Kuan's head." Today's battle with Ji Ling, when it is decided quickly, Feng Xiao and Zhicai can have a good strategy to teach me? ”

Guo Jia nodded, got up and came to the hanging map, pointed to Fengqiu and said: "Ji Ling's strategy, the two armies will fight a decisive battle in Fengqiu, and Zhang Xun will be on the side to respond. Today, our army took advantage of the night to stay away, went straight to Kuangting, surrounded and annihilated Zhang Xun with the momentum of thunder, and then turned back and attacked Ji Ling in Fengqiu with Zhang Miao's troops. Ji Ling was defeated and retreated, we waited for the city to defend, Liu Kuan came from afar, the grain and grass did not continue, and when the time changed, it may be victorious. ”

Cao Cao stroked his palms and admired, "Fengxiao is really a certain goodness and peace!" ”

That night, Cao Cao ordered Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Le Jin, and Li Dianzhong to raise 28,000 troops, and left at night, leaving Xiahou Yuan, Xu Chu and other generals to lead more than 10,000 troops, set up banners, and pretend that the main force was in the camp. Xiahou Yuan and other generals succeeded in raiding Zhang Xun, Zhang Xun's 10,000 soldiers were completely annihilated, Zhang Xun was escorted by his own guards to escape from the encirclement, for fear of Ji Ling's military order to be killed, and went straight to Nanyang.

Cao Cao was full of victory and was about to attack Ji Ling. Suddenly, the Black Mountain Army took advantage of the emptiness of Dongjun, and Zhang Yan led generals such as Yu Poison, Bai Huan, and Zhenggu to attack Anyi, the administrative office of Dongjun, and the defender was in a hurry to ask for help.

Cao Cao was in a hurry, had a head attack, and fainted to the ground.

After a long time, Cao Cao woke up and asked, "The sky is going to kill me, what can I do, what can I do?" ”

Xi Zhong comforted: "Zhang Yan, the rabble, Anyi has Cheng Yu, Zhongde is steady and resourceful, and he has more than enough perseverance." Our department should act according to the plan, and quickly annihilate Ji Ling with Zhang Miao's department, Ji Ling learned that Zhang Xun's army was defeated, and there will be no morale, wait for me to repel Ji Ling, attack Zhang Yan inside and outside, and retreat from the siege of Montenegro! ”

After Cao Cao heard this, 40,000 troops poured out of the nest and fought a decisive battle with Zhang Miao and 20,000 Chen Liubing with Ji Ling in Fengqiu. Ji Ling originally hoped for a decisive battle as soon as possible, and Zhang Xun's troops could raid the rear of the enemy army at the time of the decisive battle. The two armies fought fiercely.

Let's say that Zhang Yan besieged Anyi and divided his troops to loot Dongjun.

One night, Liu Kuan's 100,000 army suddenly arrived, rushed into the Montenegrin barracks, the Montenegrin army was in chaos, the barracks were on fire, Yu Ban did not listen to Cheng Yu's words, concluded that it was Cao Cao to rescue, led the army to attack Zhang Yan, Liu Kuan lurked in advance of the cavalry of the four gates, saw the city gate open, the defenders killed, have horses into the city, and then the infantry swarmed in.

Cheng Yu saw the banner clearly and knew that it was Liu Kuan coming, so he hurriedly escaped from the other gate, letting Yu Ban lead his troops out of the battlefield, and discarding Anyi to move closer to Cao Cao.

Liu Kuan ordered the Wu'an National Department to pursue Yu Ban, and he commanded the cavalry to pursue Zhang Yan's deserters, Zhang Yan's army carried looting materials, was reluctant to give up, moved slowly, and was wiped out most of them, Zhang Yan ordered all the materials to be abandoned, and killed hundreds of chaotic soldiers, only to collect the foot soldiers, and fled to Montenegro.

Liu Kuan hated the Montenegrin army for plundering the people and killing innocents, and did not stop the Youzhou army from killing, Yu Poison and Bai Huanyu were beheaded by Dian Wei and Zhao Yun in the chaos, and the Montenegrin army left tens of thousands of corpses and fled in a hurry.

On the other side, when the battlefield of Chen Liu was stalemate, Yan Rou's army came from the east and attacked Zhang Miao's troops, and Cao Cao was entangled by Ji Ling and could not divide his troops to help. Xian Yufu's more than 10,000 cavalry were very brave, Zhang Miao's 20,000 troops were immediately scattered, and Yan Rou and Zang Ba led the foot soldiers into the battle.

Ji Ling and Cao Cao, Zhang Miao battle, originally the military strength is equal, but Ji Ling is attacked on both sides, at a disadvantage, now Yan Rou led 60,000 troops to kill, Ji Ling only sent Han Hao to continue to attack Zhang Miao, so that Li Feng and others gave up Zhang Miao and turned to attack Cao Cao's army.

Xian Yu's auxiliary cavalry penetrated Zhang Miao's troops, and Zhang Miao was killed by random arrows. Zhang Miao defeated Cao's army, and Cao Cao's army was in chaos. Ji Ling led the Yuzhou Army to counterattack on all fronts.

Cao Cao's army was extremely brave, Xu Chu killed Yang Hong, Xiahou killed Li Feng, and Ji Ling suffered heavy losses.

Seeing that Cao's army had countless casualties, Xi Zhong said to Cao Cao: "Youzhou's iron cavalry is unparalleled in the world, our army cannot last, we should take advantage of the Youzhou army to be hindered by Zhang Miao's army, and quickly leave the battlefield, otherwise, our army is in danger of annihilation!" ”

Cao Cao immediately ordered Xiahoudun and Cao Ren to break off, gather the army and slowly retreat in the direction of Anyi. But it was said that Ji Ling was red-eyed, and led the army to chase and kill all the way, Xiahou fought and retreated, and Cao Ren's cavalry kept attacking Ji Ling's wings, and Ji Ling had a headache.

Cao Cao traveled less than ten miles, and when he saw the five thousand defeated soldiers coming from the forbidden army, he knew that Anyi was lost. Guo Jia suggested: "Now that Ji Ling is entangled, it is difficult for our army to get out, when Ji Ling is unprepared and the pursuit is chaotic, turn back and strike hard, so as to win the opportunity to get out." ”

Cao Cao was well versed in the art of war and adopted Guo Jia's unexpected and counterintuitive tactics. Immediately ordered the whole army to give up the baggage and return to the army to kill Ji Ling's pursuers. Ji Ling was about to chase the death to the north, but unexpectedly, Cao Jun suddenly killed back. Suddenly, the whole army retreated, and the battlefield was chaotic.

Here, Yan Rou lasted more than an hour, and almost completely annihilated Zhang Miao's department. Yan Rou did not chase Cao Cao, let Ji Ling Cao Cao fight, sent 10,000 infantry to collect war horses, military rations, armor and other materials, and led the rest of the troops to slowly follow Ji Ling's army to track down.

The 30,000 horses of the Wu'an State Department also pursued Yu Ban to the battlefield unhurriedly, and sent scouts to contact Yan Rou. Yan Rou saw that Cao Cao and Ji Ling had suffered heavy losses, and Cao Cao had already defeated Ji Ling and was ready to get out of the west. Then he ordered the whole army to attack, Wu Anguo attacked from the north to the west, Xian Yu auxiliary cavalry current, went straight to Cao Cao's army, Yan Rou sent Zang Ba to lead the army to receive Chen Liu, and led his troops to attack from the south to the west.

Ji Ling's eyes were red, and when he saw this, he gritted his teeth and continued to pursue despite the fact that his army formation was broken. Seeing this, Cao Cao and others left their foot soldiers, and Cao Ren led more than 4,000 cavalry to escort everyone to the west. The Youzhou and Yuzhou armies chased and killed Baili, and only stopped when they saw Cao Cao far away.

In the battle, Zhang Miao's troops killed Chen Rong and Dong Wan for Han Hao's department, Zhang Miao, Liu Yi and Zhang Chao killed Yan Rou's department, more than 20,000 people and horses were wiped out, Cao Cao 40,000 horses, only Cao Ren cavalry 3,000 remained, escorting Cao Cao's people to flee to Shangdang and defect to Shangdang Taishou Zhang Yang. Ji Ling's 60,000-strong army only had 15,000 men left. It was tragic.

Everyone returned to the army, Ji Ling led the troops to Chen Liucheng, but saw that Chen Liucheng's head had already floated the Youzhou military flag, Ji Ling asked to enter the city for repairs, but Zang Ba sternly refused. Ji Ling was so angry that he had to go back to his camp. Yan Rou gathered all the departments, set up two camps in Chen Liucheng and outside the city, celebrated the achievement that night, and rewarded the three armies.

On the second day, Liu Kuan and his generals arrived. Ji Ling asked to see him, and Liu Kuan received him in the big tent of the military camp outside Chen Liucheng.

"Marquis Wuping, please hand over Chen Liu, Dongjun and me as promised." Ji Ling saw the mighty generals of Youzhou in the big tent, and said with little confidence.

After hearing this, the generals laughed, Xu Shu came out of the ranks, and said: "I have a saying in Youzhou, let you Yuzhou take Dongjun and Chen Liu, not only can you not take it yourself, but you were almost wiped out by Cao Cao and Zhang Miao. ”

Ji Ling is a military general, he is not good at words, he was speechless for a while, and said: "Then please ask the Hou Ye to deliver 5,000 cavalry as promised." ”

Xu Shu laughed, "Dare to ask General Ji Ling, how did Sun Gongyou make a pact with you?" ”

Ji Ling replied casually: "If our army invades Dongjun......" Ji Ling suddenly woke up and was silent.

After Xu Shu laughed, he stopped speaking and sat down.

Seeing this, Liu Kuan invited Ji Ling to take a seat, and said: "Yuan Highway detained my brother Liu He, and deceived my father into five thousand iron horses. Let this be the end of the matter. Yuan Highway is a person who values the name of the festival, now I broke through Shanyang, captured Yuan's family, General Ji can inform Yuan Highway, I hope he will immediately return my Youzhou Iron Horse, otherwise the world is leisurely, all say that Yuan Highway does not value family affection, only greedy for small profits, this Hou can not help. In addition, my Youzhou army is running from afar, and there is a shortage of food and grass, so please temporarily borrow 50,000 stone of military food from Yuzhou, otherwise, my Youzhou cavalry will be hungry and cross the border to eat, and they will not be able to restrain it. ”

Ji Ling was furious when he heard this, and walked away.
