Everything happened so fast that everyone in the city didn't have time to react. After all, for Yuan Shaojun, Puyang was an isolated city on the south bank of the Yellow River, with the Yellow River in the north, and the remaining three sides were Cao Jun's territory. Cao Cao's quiet march was already secret, and it was on people's own territory, and the march was not long, so although Liu Bei and others released many scouts, they still failed to discover Cao's army's movements.

Since killing Yan Liang, Cao Cao already had a plan to attack Puyang City, and letting Li Dian lead his troops to pretend to be a rout is just part of this plan. If the Puyang guards were incompetent and believed the words of the defeated soldiers and let them into the city, Zhao Yun, who had been following them, would definitely be able to take the door down. But after all, there is still a Liu Bei in Puyang City, this is a guy who escaped death twice from himself and Cao Ang, how can he be underestimated. Therefore, Cao Cao had already ordered Xu Chu to lead people to strangle the enemy scouts, and ordered Le Jin to take the remaining soldiers and horses to quietly arrive outside the east gate to ambush. When Li Dian was grinding with Wang Mo, Liu Bei and others at Ximen, Cao Cao, who saw the opportunity, gave an order, and Lejin immediately attacked the city. There were few soldiers in Puyang City, but now everyone's attention was attracted to the west gate, and the soldiers guarding the east gate were caught off guard by Le Jin, and the loss of the city gate was just a meal.

Puyang has been under the rule of Cao Cao for nearly ten years, and since Cao Cao first came to Yanzhou, he served as the Taishou of Dongjun in this Puyang City. After ten years, the people in Puyang City have a good impression of Cao Cao, so as soon as Cao Jun entered the city, the situation of Liu Bei and others became even more embarrassing. Especially when Le Jin killed the prisoners, a large number of Cao soldiers who were captured because of Liu Dai's death in battle immediately joined the battle. If it weren't for Liu Bei and the others being quite sober and not incorporating Cao Jun's soldiers into their ranks, they were afraid that they would mutiniate at this moment, and Liu Bei, Wang Mo, and He Mao would not be able to escape from the north gate like now.

Wang Mo wanted to rely on the pontoon bridge that had supplied the army to cross the river quickly to get rid of the pursuit of Cao's army, but Liu Bei said bluntly: "Absolutely not!" Just look at this plan to attack the west, you know that the future will be the person who knows the soldiers, the goal of the pontoon bridge is too obvious, there must be an ambush! ”

"If we don't take the pontoon bridge, how can we join the army as soon as possible?" Wang Mo was also anxious at this time, and now Guan Yu led 5,000 soldiers and horses as the vanguard, and Zhang Fei led 10,000 soldiers and horses to wait in Dunqiu on the other side of the river. The 15,000 soldiers and horses are now under Liu Bei's control, and there are not many soldiers and horses left around him and He Mao, and they are even more suspicious of Liu Bei's identity. It's just that what Liu Bei said is not unreasonable, although he doesn't know who came to seize Puyang in his hands, but now, he can't help but plan for the worst.

"General, if you take the pontoon bridge, you will be ambushed by Cao's army, don't talk about the river when the time comes, whether you can survive is a question. At this point, we should quickly turn west and head in the direction of Hakuba. Cao's army came from the west, and he must not have imagined that we would break through to the west. Now it is only two or three hours before dark, as long as it is night, it will be difficult for Cao's army to pursue, and at that time, I will wait for the opportunity to cross the river. ”

When Wang Mo heard this, he looked at Liu Bei carefully, but he was entangled in his heart at this time. He wanted to cross the river quickly, and the fastest way was to take the pontoon bridge. He didn't have many soldiers around him now, and he could only feel at ease when he rushed to Dunqiu and regained control of the soldiers and horses. What's more, his suspicion of Liu Bei now is deep, not only because of the meticulous work he caught, but also because of Yuan Shao's instructions. Liu Bei's various behaviors also made him have to doubt his motives. However, what Liu Bei said that there would be an ambush on the pontoon bridge does not seem to be unreasonable. It's just that he said these words, is it because he is worried that Cao Jun has not completed the arrangement, and he will escape if he rushes over like this, and he is really uncertain. After all, if Yan Liang really died, then there was only one lone army on the south bank at this time, as long as he didn't cross the river for a day, then he would be under the threat of Cao's army for one more day.

Wang Mo, who was contemplative for a while, did not make any decisions, and the defeated army was still thinking about the direction of the pontoon bridge. The Yellow River was not far from Puyang City, and the pontoon bridge could be seen for a while, but Wang Mo still did not give any reply. Liu Bei saw that the opportunity to go west had been missed, and sighed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. After all, this army is not his own subordinates after all, and he really can't command them. Seeing that the pontoon bridge was in front of him, Liu Bei hurriedly shouted: "General! At this point, we should speed up through the pontoon! ”

Wang Mo was taken aback by Liu Bei's words, hurriedly came back to his senses, nodded yes, and then ordered: "Quick, cross the pontoon bridge with this general!" After crossing the river, it is the world of our army! Fast! ”

How do you know that as soon as the words fell, a rumbling sound of horses' hooves suddenly came into everyone's ears, Wang Mo followed the prestige, only to see that the cavalry came directly from the west of the city, led by Zhao Yun, silver armor and silver spear, Wang Mo didn't know, how could Liu Bei not know! Liu Bei hurriedly shouted: "General, cross the river quickly, that person is Zhao Yun!" Wang Mo didn't answer when he heard this, and hurriedly rushed to the front with a horse's belly, but he secretly said in his heart that he was lucky, fortunately, he had been entangled for a long time, and he had not broken through to the west as Liu Bei said, otherwise he would have crashed into the hands of this person, and he would have died? From this point of view, this Liu Bei is only afraid that there is indeed a problem.

It was only Wang Mo, who was in doubt in his heart, that he ran to the vicinity of the pontoon bridge, only to hear the sound of water, and saw that the riverbank, which had not yet moved, suddenly stood up from the water with countless soldiers, all of whom were shooting with bows and arrows. Speaking of the Yellow River since it reached the lower reaches, the land is flat, the river channel is wide, and all the sediment brought down from the Loess Plateau is deposited here, and since the Western Han Dynasty, the government and the people have built dikes to prevent the Yellow River from flooding, which also creates the unique topography of the hanging river. It is precisely because of this that no one can find the soldiers of Cao lying in the water on the bank of the river. Although the bow and crossbow are afraid of moisture, all the bows and arrows are placed on the river beach, and just wait for an order, Cao Jun will all crawl out of the water, and it is not difficult to open the bow and arrows.

For a while, the arrows flew wildly, Wang Mo, He Mao, Liu Bei, and their own soldiers, relying on the speed of the horse, hurriedly rushed onto the pontoon bridge, pity the foot soldiers behind them, after three rounds of arrow rain, almost half of them were destroyed, and the remaining half were all disarmed and surrendered after Zhao Yun's cavalry arrived. If it weren't for the fact that Cao Jun needed to attack Puyang suddenly, Cao Jun didn't have time to destroy the pontoon bridge, and this ambush would have been a shame that no one would have been able to escape.

When Cao Cao heard that Liu Bei still escaped this result, he also sighed: "Alas, I didn't expect this big-eared thief to be really powerful, and this time he let him run away again!" ”

Cao Cao was just sighing, and when Yuan Shao of Liyang received the news, he was almost furious! In the big tent, he was still discussing with a group of strategists how to fight Cao Cao, but a guard rushed in, which completely made Yuan Shao angry. Because what he brought was nothing else, it was the news of Yan Liang's death!

When Yuan Shao first heard it, all written on his face were I don't believe these three big words, until he asked three times, and the tone of each time was more awe-inspiring than the first time, but after getting three of the same answers, he sat on the seat in a daze and didn't say a word. Everyone in the big tent knows that this is a sign of Yuan Shao's anger, and the last time Yuan Shao behaved like this, it was when Zhang Yan of Montenegro attacked the back road of grain and grass. Yan Liangke is Yuan Shao's confidant and favorite general, not only brave in battle, strong in martial arts, but most importantly loyal. Since the Tiger Prison Pass, he has made many military exploits under Yuan Shao, and he has won Yuan Shao's love. Now that he is dead, it is not normal for Yuan Shao to be angry.

After a long time of incense, Yuan Shao asked in a low voice, "Who killed Yan Liang?" ”

The guard swallowed a mouthful of saliva quietly, and then said timidly: "Back to the lord, it is said that it was Zhao Yun, the general under Cao Cao's account, who raided General Yan Liang who was rushing to Puyang. Listening to the rout, Zhao Yun almost single-handedly killed General Yan Liang, and General Yan Liang and Zhao Yun didn't count the battles, so they ...... was killed by Zhao Yun. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Shao slapped the table in front of him heavily, which scared the guards who reported the news. I only heard that Yuan Shao almost gritted his teeth and said: "What a Changshan Zhao Zilong!" ”

However, if people are unlucky, it seems that drinking cold water will stuff their teeth. Yan Liang's death in battle was a huge blow to Yuan Shao, and everyone in the big tent did not dare to make a sound. But who knew that at this moment, another guard hurriedly ran into the big tent, knelt down and said, "The lord is not good!" General Wang came to report that Puyang was lost! ”

Yuan Shao stood up when he heard this, and shouted, "What did you say? Puyang lost? How is it possible, there are 20,000 soldiers and horses in Puyang City, how can you say that you will lose it! Where is Wang Mo now? ”

The guard saw that Yuan Shao was furious, and he was also frightened in his heart, for fear that he would not say a word right, and he would be clicked by the angry Yuan Shao. Therefore, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "General Wang Mo is now Dunqiu, this is General Wang's military report, and please take a look at it." ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he asked the guard general to deliver it. Yuan Shao, who took over the military newspaper, was even more at a glance, and in the military newspaper, Wang Mo not only reported everything he knew truthfully, but even many things he didn't know and didn't know, he also relied on his imagination to write in the military newspaper. Before and after the loss of Puyang City, what was going on, he could be regarded as clearly understanding. It's just that in the military report, for Liu Bei, Wang Mo bluntly said that he thinks that Liu Bei must be Cao Jun's meticulous work. He also listed all kinds of "evidence" to confirm his suspicions. First, Wang Mo really had doubts in his heart, and second, if there was no Liu Bei to carry this black cauldron and lose Puyang's felony, he really couldn't afford it.

While reading the military newspaper, Yuan Shao's face gradually became more hideous. By the time he finished reading, even the depressed professor who was sitting at the bottom could clearly see Yuan Shao's trembling hands and body. I saw that Yuan Shao threw the military newspaper to the ground, and shouted: "Weaver Xiaoer, dare to bully me!" The anger in his tone made everyone in the big tent silent.
