Cao Shuo led his army to advance to Jibei.

Jibei Xiang, who was still defending the army, learned that he personally led the troops, and he didn't even dare to resist, and directly opened the city gate to welcome the army into the city.

The entire Qingzhou fell into the hands of Cao Shuo.

At this time, Cao Pi's attack on Nanpi was in full swing.

The soldiers of the Cao army attacked the city for days, and the defenders of Nanpi resisted to the death, and the battle fell into a stalemate for a while.

Looking in the direction of Nanpi, Cao Pi's face was very gloomy.

Wu Zhen came to his side: "Childe, are you thinking about how to break Nanpi?" ”

"Do you still need to say it?" Cao Pi's tone was not very good and said: "I can't attack the city for days, and my father must think that I have no ability to hold on for too long......"

"Don't worry, Childe, Nanpi can only be broken today." Wu Zhen clenched his fists and bowed to Cao Pi and said.

"Today?" Cao Pi said in surprise: "I have used all methods, even the thunderbolt taught by my eldest brother, but I have never been able to break through the city, what way do you have to take Nanpi?" ”

"If you want to take Nanpi, Childe only needs to withdraw the army." Wu Zhen replied.

"Withdrawal?" Cao Pi was stunned: "If I withdraw the army, how can I take Nanpi?" ”

"Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses are much less than Gongzi." Wu Zhen said: "Cao Gong asked Gongzi to lead an army of 30,000 to attack Yuan Tan, just to see if Gongzi can have a rare advantage in defeating the enemy. Although the soldiers and horses under Yuan Tan's command have long become frightened birds, they have the city to rely on, and their morale will not decline. If they go out of the city......"

Speaking of this, Wu Zhen didn't continue.

Looking at Wu Qian, Cao Pi said, "Go on." ”

"Our army retreats, Yuan Tan will definitely pursue tentatively." Wu Zhen said: "Let the soldiers drop their baggage, there is a lack of supplies in the city, and the Yuan army will definitely rob it." ”

"What do you mean......" Cao Pi suddenly said.

Wu Zhen said: "Once the Yuan army loots the supplies and our army turns back to fight again, do they still have a chance to escape?" ”

Subconsciously looking at the camp of the tiger and leopard rider, Cao Pi said: "In this way, the only way to defeat Yuan Tan is to use the tiger and leopard rider. ”

"The tiger and leopard ride more than 8,000 people, and they are the elite under the command of Cao Gong." Wu Zhen replied: "Gong Cao transferred them to Gongzi, if Gongzi just let them attack the city, what would Gong Cao think?" ”

"I see." The corners of Cao Pi's mouth pulled up a smile, and said to Wu Zhen: "Fortunately, I will give you 3,000 soldiers and horses, once Yuan Tan goes out of the city to pursue, you will immediately occupy Nanpi, so that he has nowhere to go." ”

"Don't worry, Childe, I will definitely cut off Yuan Tan's retreat!" Wu Zhi responded.

Cao Pi instructed the guards on the side: "Please General Cao Chun come over." ”

The guards retreated.

After a while, Cao Chun was ordered to arrive.

After telling Cao Chun what Wu Zhen said, Cao Pi said: "General Cao, whether you can kill Yuan Tan this time depends on your tiger and leopard ride." ”

"Actually, Cao Gong has issued a military order." Cao Chun said: "If Yuan Tan is captured, there will be no mercy for killing." Even if Childe doesn't say it, I won't keep him. ”

Hearing that Cao Cao had already given Cao Chun a military order, Cao Pi was faintly unhappy in his heart.

Cao Shuo fought the war, and Cao Cao never interfered.

When it was his turn, Cao Cao secretly gave Cao Chun an order to kill Yuan Tan.

Although it was not refreshing, Cao Pi did not show it.

He smiled slightly and said to Cao Chun: "Yuan Tan betrayed the Cao family, although he is the eldest brother's brother-in-law and uncle, kill him, the eldest brother should not say anything." ”

Adopting Wu Zhen's strategy, Cao Shuo then ordered the army to retreat.

Standing on the head of the city, seeing the retreat of the Cao army outside the city, Yuan Tan was confused.

There are no more useful people around him, and the morale of the generals in the army is also very low.

The general on the side came up to him and asked him in a low voice: "Childe, the Cao army has withdrawn, do you want to ......?"

"You mean pursuit?" Yuan Tan asked.

"The Cao army is not much more numerous than us." The general said: "They may have retreated, probably because they felt that the siege had been too long and that they had lost too many soldiers, which would be detrimental to the war. ”

Looking at the partial general, Yuan Tan was a little unsure in his heart.

"Childe." The partial general said: "Once the Cao army retreats, it won't be long before more people come to Nanpi, and they will suffer if they continue to break off!" ”

"Are you sure Cao Jun is worried about losing too much?" Yuan Tan asked.

"Our army has more than 20,000 people, and the Cao army besieging the city is only 30,000." The partial general said: "Our army is defending the city, but they are besieging the city. In terms of numbers, they don't have much advantage. I think Cao Pi's withdrawal should be ......"

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Tan said to the general: "You bring some soldiers and horses to defend the city, and I will lead the army to pursue Cao Pi." ”

Deciding to chase Cao Pi, Yuan Tan immediately ordered his troops and horses out of the city.

After leading a large army to pursue Cao's army, and after going out of the city for more than ten miles, Yuan Tan found that there were many supplies of Cao's army left in front of him.

The materials were very messy and littered everywhere, and it was obvious that the military discipline was very loose when Cao Jun left.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Tan hurriedly stopped the army.

He suddenly thought of the battle of Yanjin when Guandu was in the beginning, and Wen Chou was on the time of the Cao army's leftover materials, and the soldiers were suddenly killed by the Cao army when they were robbing.

"No one is allowed to loot." Yuan Tan gave an order to Yuan Jun behind him.

Looking at the scattered materials, the soldiers of the Yuan army were a little disappointed.

There are so many good things, and they are not allowed to rob ......

"Go back!" Looking ahead, Yuan Tan was unwilling to order to withdraw.

He was just about to turn around, when shouts of killing suddenly came from all sides, and countless Cao troops poured out of the originally empty field.

The cavalry of the Cao army, which rushed to the front, rushed towards the Yuan army led by Yuan Tan like a flood.

Completely defenseless, Yuan Tan was taken aback.

The morale of the Yuan army behind him was not high, and the Cao army that suddenly killed them suddenly lost their morale, and many people had no idea of fighting at all, so they turned around and ran away with their weapons.

Cao Jun rushed out.

Cao Pi, who was riding a war horse, looked at Yuan Jun who was scattering and fleeing, and a shallow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He said to Cao Chun beside him: "Fortunately, Wu Zhen thought of Yanjin when he left, otherwise Yuan Tan would have run away." ”

"He can't run." Cao Chun replied: "Wu Zhen should have taken Nanpi at this time, Yuan Tan can't turn back and enter the city, and the tiger and leopard can follow him and destroy him." ”

"There is no need to follow this time, our army has won a complete victory." Cao Pi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "I can explain to my father and eldest brother." ”

The situation on the battlefield is completely one-sided.

The soldiers of the Cao army pursued Yuan's army, killing them and scattering them in all directions.

It didn't take long for several tigers and leopards to ride a person towards Cao Pi and Cao Chun.

"It seems that they have caught Yuan Tan." Seeing those tigers and leopards riding, Cao Pi said to Cao Chun: "Yuan Tan is the eldest brother's brother-in-law, I killed his mother-in-law earlier, but I don't dare to kill this person again." If you want to kill, it's General Cao who will do it. ”

PS: I went home today to accompany the old man to have a few more drinks, and I can't code words in a drunken state, and I will start to break up tomorrow. Let's put the question up again, after defeating Yuan Tan, where will Cao Shuo fight first. The answer to yesterday's question is already there, it was Cao Chun who killed Yuan Tan.
