After Lu Su got rid of Cao Xiu, he took advantage of Cao Xiu's repair for a few days to settle the people, and then returned to Shouchun.

Xiahou Yuan has also begun to attack the city, but Xiahou Yuan has few soldiers and can only attack one side. Lu Su entered the city from the east very easily, and Fan Lihua was completely relieved to see Lu Su come back. With Lu Su in the city, Fan Lihua can focus on the war outside the city.

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Su came back, the people who had been moving in the city stopped a lot.

Outside the city of Ping'an, Cao Cao looked at his soldiers, who could not climb the city wall no matter how they attacked, and he was also very anxious. He summoned three counselors and asked, "What should I do now after a few days of siege with little success?" ”

Guo Jia said: "Zhang Yi does have some ability, looking at his defense, advancing and retreating to a certain extent, it is indeed rare in ancient times, although it is not as good as General Zixiao, I am afraid it is not far away." ”

Cao Cao also nodded, "Zhang Yi is indeed an ordinary person, if he hadn't betrayed me, the world would have been calmed down long ago." ”

Xun You and Guo Jia looked at each other, our lord is still really big, at this time, he is still thinking about this mess, how can there be regret medicine in this world! I don't know why Zhang Yi rebelled until now, maybe Zhang Yi was weak after killing Cao Ang!

When Xu You heard Cao Cao praise this, he was reluctant in his heart. He was a proud man, and his eyes were above the top, otherwise he would not have come to such a field. He sneered at the three of them: "Why should Meng De grow the morale of others to destroy his own prestige? Since you can't break the peace, let's think of a way from somewhere else to hit Zhang Yi hard! ”

Cao Cao asked curiously, "I don't know what Ziyuan's plan is?" ”

Xu Yu pretended to be profound: "Xu Huang went to attack the water village, and it is not appropriate to make a big move in the west, so as to prevent the water village." However, there are some things to do from the east, Meng Deke can send someone to intercept and kill Master Shang's apprentice's Tanma, so that Master Shang and his apprentice will not know the situation in Ping'an City for a few days. Master Shang and apprentice will inevitably panic, so as to support Zhang Yi, and then Meng De can send people to attack and kill Master Shang. Master and apprentice Shang are quite famous under Zhang Yi, as long as Master and Apprentice Shang are killed, Zhang Yi's morale will definitely plummet, and it will be much easier to deal with. ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, you didn't seem to say that some time ago? Cao Cao glanced at Xun You and Guo Jia, and found that both of them were stealing fun, and he couldn't help but stiffen his face. If he didn't still need Xu You, he would have wanted to kill this Xu You, would you be a friend like you? A few days ago, you said that you would attack Ping'an City, but I vetoed the opinion of my two strategists! Now you're going to give me this hand?

But now he still needs Xu You, so let's bear with it for a while! However, he rolled his eyes and said, "It's better to lead the troops by Ziyuan this time!" ”

When Xu You heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll take a trip!" ”

However, when Cao Cao looked at him, he felt that he was laughing at the fact that there was no one under him. Cao Cao felt awkward, so he let them all go out and put his anger alone.

Angry, Cao Cao suddenly felt a little headache, so he covered his head and leaned on a few cases, and it took a long time to get better.

Xu You led 5,000 soldiers and horses to meet Zhang Liao, and after seeing Zhang Liao, he said to him: "I have an order to come this time, you send cavalry to besiege and kill the horses of Master Shang's apprentice." ”

Zhang Liao didn't know why, but when he saw the token in Xu You's hand, Zhang Liao immediately went to prepare. He didn't look down on Xu Yu either, and he didn't talk to him much, just carry out the order.

Zhang Liao, in accordance with Xu You's order, let Master Shang's apprentice's Tanma know the news for several days. At first, Master and Apprentice Shang didn't care, but there was no news of Ping'an City for five or six days, and Master and Apprentice Shang couldn't sit still. He called Meng Liang Jiaozan and said to them: "There has been no news of Ping'an City for several days now, and I am afraid that there is something wrong with the lord's side." I want to personally lead the troops over to have a look, in case something happens to Ping'an City. ”

Meng Liang persuaded and said: "General, when the lord sent us over, he said that we must pay attention to the safety of the camp, and don't let the Cao army cross the camp to attack Gaoyou. The lord said that he could handle the defense of Heian Castle himself, and when the situation was unknown, he should not go to support Heian Castle. ”

Master Shang said, "But I'm worried! In this way, the two of you will hold the camp, and I will take a thousand men over to see, and if there is no problem, I will withdraw at once!" ”

Meng Liang said: "General, it's too dangerous for you to only bring a thousand people. ”

Jiao Zan said: "Yes! Checkmate! You're not safe like that. Why don't I go with you! ”

Master Shang said, "Who will garrison the big camp?" ”

"I'll keep it!" Meng Liang said: "But the general should bring more people!" How can you break through the enemy's encirclement with a thousand men? ”

Master Shang nodded, "Then two thousand!" Take too much, and the big camp can't hold it! ”

Meng Liang nodded, and it could only be like this.

So Master Shang and his apprentice took Jiao Zan out of the camp and marched towards Ping'an City. Jiao Zan personally took the probe horse and explored the road in front. After walking out of thirty miles, Jiao Zan suddenly found that a large number of enemy soldiers appeared around, and Jiao Zan's heart suddenly felt that this number was too much, at least two or three thousand people, and they were all cavalry.

"There's an ambush!" Jiao Zan said: "Go and inform the general to retreat!" ”

Tanma immediately went back to inform him, and Jiao Zan gathered Tanma together and led them out of the encirclement of Cao's soldiers.

"How come there are so many cavalry?" Jiao Zan pondered while dodging, and he did not hesitate to go around in a circle to find Master Shang's apprentice. But when he arrived at Master Shang's team, he found that Master Shang had been surrounded, and there were more soldiers and horses than before, a full six or seven thousand infantry.

"What's going on?" Jiao Zan was puzzled, "Why are there so many Cao soldiers?" ”

No, the general must be rescued, if two thousand soldiers and horses are lost here, then Cao Bing can directly capture the camp. Jiao Zan decided to rescue Master Shang and his apprentices, but there were only about thirty horsemen on his side, and the number was too small. After thinking about it for a moment, he found a wood, "Look at some branches, tied to the horse's tail!" ”

More than 30 horsemen tied up the branches and rushed towards the Cao Ying army from the east. Cao Bing was caught off guard and was rushed in by Jiao Zan.

When Master Shang saw that Cao Bing was rushed open, he immediately shouted: "Come with me!" "Kill the hole that rushed out of Jiaozan.

Xu You saw that Master Shang and his apprentice had run away, and couldn't help but say to Zhang Liao in extreme dismay: "Chase!" Don't let Master Shang and apprentice run away!

Zhang Liao immediately took his own soldiers and chased after him in person. Halfway through, he actually met Jiao Zan, who saw Zhang Liao and knew that he was a general, so he had the intention to kill Zhang Liao and hit the morale of Cao Bing.

It's a pity, who is Zhang Liao's opponent? was directly knocked under the horse by Zhang Liao, and then the soldiers behind Zhang Liao rushed up and captured him.
