Nanyang County, which was once a super defensive stronghold built by Yuan Shu to resist Cao De. Since Cao De took over, he has not wiped out all the credit of Yuan Shu, but Cao De's army has staged a scene of doves occupying the magpie's nest. However, opposite Deng County, Nanyang County, is Xiangyang, where the heart of Jingzhou was once located. Therefore, Xu Shu and Cao Ren's army drove to Xiangyang City in only half a day.

Xiangyang is not only an important town in Jingzhou, but also an important city that can be counted in the entire Han Dynasty. And this importance is reflected in the city wall first. Five feet high and three obstacles wide, this is already a very amazing data. You must know that even the walls of Luoyang and Chang'an are only six zhang high.

When Xu Shu's army drove to Xiangyang City, Xiangyang City had already been made into an iron hedgehog by Liu Biao. Xiangyang City is the first line of defense for Liu Biao, without Xiangyang City, Liu Biao will definitely not march into Yuzhou. For such a high city, if you want to attack the city, it is not enough to rely on the ladder alone. At this point, the siege vehicle and catapult will have to go together. It's a pity that Xu Shu's army is moving fast, and these siege tools are still crawling slowly. So, let's wait. No hurry!

In Kaifeng City to the east, when Guo Jia and Zhao Yun led the army to Kaifeng, Liu Bei's army had already shrunk and retreated thirty miles. With the addition of 100,000 Cao De's army, the power balance between the Cao and Liu families suddenly changed dramatically.

For Zhao Yun and Guo Jia's abilities, Cao Cao is very convinced. After Cao Cao carefully inquired about Cao De's plan from Guo Jia, Cao Hong led an army of 30,000 from Kaifeng City to the south. After all, it is very dangerous now that Xu Huang of Yingchuan is still in danger.

Here, it is worth mentioning that not long after Cao Hong led the army to set off, Xu Huang in Yingchuan County sent an exciting news that Xiahoudun had returned!

Yes, Xiahoudun is not dead. To be precise, it should be said that Xiahoudun is not far from death. He was seriously wounded in three places, slightly injured in twenty-eight places, and did not eat anything for two days and three nights. Xiahoudun has reached the edge of the limit.

On that day, in Runan City, Xiahoudun was surrounded by the Jingzhou Corps while giving Cao Cao time to retreat. In the midst of the chaos, Xiahoudun was unfortunately wounded. However, Xiahoudun still fought hard and did not retreat. Finally, after Cai Mao and Jing Yue until Cao Cao fled, they didn't know that Xiahoudun was still surrounded by him. In the chaotic battle, there were fewer and fewer soldiers around Xiahoudun, and Xiahoudun's own soldiers knew that no one would survive if they fought like this. Therefore, they boldly knocked out Xiahoudun, who had retired to rest.

When Xiahoudun woke up, he found that he was hidden in a messy stack of firewood, and at this time, there were only a few hundred Jingzhou soldiers in Runan City. Xiahoudun dragged his injured body, and undoubtedly met the place where Jingzhou soldiers were guarding Cao Jun's prisoners. Next, Runan City fell into the hands of Xiahoudun again, but Xiahoudun also understood that Runan City could not be defended, and the top priority was to join Cao Cao's army.

However, not long after the incident in Runan City, Jing Yue got the news. And so, a great exodus began.

The three thousand Cao troops plus a wounded Xiahoudun did not know how many places they had traveled in Yuzhou, and they did not know how many times they had escaped the pursuit. What Xia Houdun remembers most clearly is how many good brothers are willing to stay behind in order to save themselves!

In the end, when Xiahoudun met Xu Huang's sentry horseman, there were less than 800 of the 3,000 Cao troops left. In fact, it can be said that Xiahoudun's life was exchanged for 2,200 soldiers!

Now, Cao De's reinforcements have arrived, and Xiahoudun has also arrived home, although he has lost a lot of soldiers, but this is enough to be exciting. So, Cao Cao began to prepare for a big counterattack.

On the eve of Cao Cao's counterattack, news from Jizhou also came back. The battle in Jizhou has been pacified, and Li Dian is leading a large army south to support. As for Cao De, Cao De personally led an army of 90,000 to Qingzhou.

Immediately, Cao Cao immediately posted this battle report. All of a sudden, in Kaifeng City, all the Cao soldiers let out deafening cheers.

"Long live King Wei! Long live Cao Gong! ”

"King Wei is invincible! Cao Gong is invincible! ”

"King Wei is mighty! Cao Gong is mighty! ”

……

The next day, the two Cao combined had a full 100,000 army outside Liu Bei's camp.

"Liu Bei, you stabbed me Ang'er and Shuo'er, and invaded my Yanzhou, it's time to repay the debt!"

Cao Cao gave an order, and Cao's army, which was scattered all over the mountains, launched an attack on Liu Bei's camp. The huge meat grinder is up and running!

Just when Cao Cao began his counteroffensive, it was near Gaoyang City in Hejian County, Jizhou in the north. Wang Fang and Gao Lei are leading the partial division of Li Dian to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Yuan family. As the army marched, a sentry brought back a soldier covered in blood.

"Who's coming?" At first, Wang Fang thought that this was Yuan Shao's remnants. But......

"Dare to ask who the general is?"

Wang Fang was stunned for a moment, I asked you or you asked me. However, then Wang Fang saw the bamboo tube that the soldier was carrying behind his back, as well as three broken small flagpoles. This is......

It's an eight-hundred-mile rush, no wonder!

"I am the king of Wei, and the king is also under the command of the general!"

"Dare to ask where the general is?" There is some information that cannot be known without a certain position.

"The general has already led his army south! I don't know ......."

"The general atoned for his sins. An urgent report needs to be submitted to the King of Wei. However, please also ask the general to be on guard, the Xianbei people have gone south! ”

"What?" Wang Fang exclaimed in surprise and almost fell off his horse. The Xianbei people went south...... "What is the situation in Youzhou?" ”

"Daijun and Shanggu have been ravaged by the Xianbei people, and Assassin Shizheng is leading the brothers to fight bloodily. The subordinates are asking for help from the King of Wei! ”

At this critical time, where can Cao Cao have soldiers and horses to support Youzhou. Could it be that even the Xianbei people are going to intervene this time? Suddenly, Wang Fang thought of someone.

"Quick, you immediately go south, go to Kaifeng, and tell the King of Wei. By the way, he told the king of Wei that Wang Fang had the courage to report the information to Cao Gong. "Cao Cao's current situation, although Wang Fang is not very clear, but he can also know a rough idea. It is impossible for Cao Cao to divide his troops to support Youzhou. However, now Cao Cao still has a strong reinforcement.

"Cao Gong? Han China's Cao Cheng Prime Minister? ”

"Not bad! Cao Gong had already led his army south three days ago, hoping to catch up with Cao Gong! Come on, change the horse for this brother! ”

"Thank you, General!"

It stands to reason that Cao Cao's urgent report cannot be sent to Cao De. However, this information can no longer be limited to Cao De and Cao Cao.

In a matter of moments, the two groups of knights immediately broke away from the main force and headed all the way south and all the way to the southwest.
