When Tao Ying led the military horse to cross the Surabaya River again, looking at the rolling river, Tao Ying suddenly felt that the pressure on his body was much less. At least now it is safe, once Cao Cao's army arrives, there is the Surabaya River in front of it, and Cao Bao's soldiers and horses in Tanxian County are guarding each other, and Cao Cao will inevitably suffer heavy losses if he wants to cross the river.

Even if he crossed the Surabaya River and rode back to Xiapi to rescue the troops, there were so many soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, and Cao Thief dared to go deep alone?

What's more, there is news from the north, Gongsun Chan has sent Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai to lead the army south to help, and when the time comes, wouldn't it be even more worry-free?

When Tao Ying defeated Cao Chun's army on the bank of the Surabaya River, Cao Cao expected that Tao Ying would definitely bring troops to rescue Tan County, and in order to prevent Tao Ying from merging with Liu Bei, Cao Cao asked the general to set up an ambush on the way.

Thinking that Yu Ban waited on the road for two days but never saw the shadow of Tao Ying's reinforcements, Yu Ban hurriedly went to tell Cao Cao. A group of military advisors began to talk about it, and finally Cao Cao asked Yu Ban to go to Surabaya to find out, and if Tao Ying was still next to Surabaya, he would lead his troops to attack him. If Tao Ying is not next to Surabaya, he will immediately rush to the aid of Pengcheng!

When Yu Ban left, some strategists said that it was better to send troops back to defend Pengcheng now, Pengcheng must not lose, Pengcheng lost, then the springboard to Xiapi will be gone, and if you want to break Xiapi at that time, you will be restrained by the enemy!

But Cao Cao didn't care, because he left 5,000 men and horses in Pengcheng, and Cao Chun reported that Tao Ying only had 10,000 soldiers and horses and no generals wanted to follow, if Tao Ying dared to attack Pengcheng, they would definitely be able to return to help.

It is said that Yu Ban led the troops all the way from Tanxian County to the Surabaya River, and saw three desolate camps from a distance, the tents of the camp were all demolished, no one patrolled, and the ground was full of discarded wood. Seeing that the people had gone, Yu Ban hurriedly went to help Pengcheng, but at noon, smoke rose strangely from the three camps.

If there is smoke, there must be someone, so the scout hurriedly asked the scout to check, the scout rode to the vicinity of the camp, and searched for a long time, Tao Ying's abandoned camp stretched for several miles, but there were less than 20 people left.

and a large number of Cao soldiers came on the other side, someone had already told Tao Ying through the wolf smoke, it seemed that Tao Ying had already expected it, he had waited for this moment for a long time, Tao Ying knew that he would not go to help Tan County for three days, Cao Cao would definitely not be able to sit still and come to himself!

This curiosity let him go, and he couldn't stop wanting to come and see what was going on, he won a battle for Mao Gang, but the people were gone!

The scout told Yu Ban the news of the investigation, Yu Ban wanted to catch a living person and ask, so he personally led a large army to attack the camp, and the team of nearly 10,000 people rolled up a burst of dust all the way and flew all over the sky, but when Cao Bing pounced on Tao Ying's camp, there was no one left in the camp of more than a dozen people!

One person was not caught, and many soldiers also fell into the traps dug by Tao Ying on the road, and nearly dozens of people were lost in vain, which made Yu Ban can't help but scold!

When Yu Ban wanted to withdraw his troops, a small soldier came to report that the Xuzhou soldiers had run to the middle of the Surabaya River on a raft, and no less than 20 large battalions had been built on the opposite bank of the Surabaya River!

As soon as he heard that Tao Ying had hid on the north bank of the Surabaya River, Yu Ban's tense face suddenly relaxed, and he couldn't help laughing after a while: "What kind of hero I am here, but I am just a rat!" ”

After Yu Ban finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but when he thought that person was the one who defeated Cao Chun's elite cavalry with only infantry, how could he be a rat?

The reason why Yu Ban was able to become Cao Cao's confidant and general naturally had his careful side. So when Cao Bing was about to withdraw his troops and continue to besiege Tanxian, Yu Ban turned back and asked the scout: "Can you see clearly whether the bridge on the river has been demolished?" The scout remembered for a moment and nodded affirmatively.

Hearing that Tao Ying burned the pontoon bridge, Yu Ban relieved people to burn Tao Ying's camp in An, Hebei, and then led the troops to return to Tan County to continue the siege of Liu Bei. Thousands of people have just walked less than ten miles, Yu Ban still refuses to believe it, will Xuzhou really give up Tan County? This is not in line with the art of war, so the cautious Yu Ban personally led a small team of people to the Surabaya River to find out.

The midday sun was a little muggy, the Surabaya River was still flowing calmly, and the birds in the distance fluttered their wings and scattered with the arrival of horses' hooves.

Tao Ying lay on the grass by the river, lazily basking in the sun with a stick of grass in his mouth. A guard next to him suddenly shouted: "General, look, someone is coming from across the river!" ”

Tao Ying hurriedly sat up, and sure enough, a small cavalry team of nearly 100 people appeared on the opposite side of the Surabaya River, and they were clustered around one person to look at this side of the river, and Tao Ying could vaguely see someone counting the number of large camps here.

Seeing that someone was coming, Tao Ying hurriedly called the little soldiers around him and asked, "Did you see the flag of the person opposite when you came?" ”

The little soldier knelt on the ground and replied: "Tell the general, the little one only saw that they played a big banner with the word Yu, and it may be that the general of Yanzhou is forbidden!" ”

Tao Ying nodded, and the people on the other side also seemed to have discovered the situation here, groups of soldiers on the north bank of the river were sitting on the river bank basking in the sun, and they didn't seem to be on guard because of Yu Ban's arrival.

Yu Ban counted the number of Tao Ying's battalions, and Cao Chun said that there were 10,000 reinforcements in Xuzhou, which seemed to confirm this statement. Now that they have withdrawn to the north shore and broken the Surabaya Bridge, they must be scared too!

In that case, then the person in front of him has nothing to worry about. Just when he wanted to leave, Tao Ying hurriedly waved a big flag, and the huge air was flying in the wind, and there was a big black character embroidered on it - Tao!

With the dance of the flag, the other side of the river also sent two people rowing a small boat to this side, it seemed that it was a messenger, Yu Ban hurriedly sent two people to wait at the water's edge.

The boat slid to the shore and handed a stack of papers to the forbidden cavalry, and then slid the boat back. The cavalry sent nearly a dozen pieces of paper to Yu Ban, and Yu Ban reached out to take it, the paper was a little yellowed, and a lot of words were written on it with a brush, and the handwriting had already dried, obviously prepared in advance.

Yu Ban let people read, and a scholar dressed as a military advisor next to him opened the first piece of paper and read: "Dear little brother Cao Cao, I am Tao Ying, the second son of Xuzhou, you can call me Tao Tianshi, because I can tell hexagrams." I am a messenger sent by God to save the Han Dynasty, go back and tell the boss of your family, let him withdraw his troops as soon as possible, anyway, sooner or later, he will withdraw early, and he will be born early!

Also, the paper you are holding in your hand, I will give you a few more, go back and let Cao Cao try it, I will resell this kind of carrying paper in Xuzhou in the future, and I want to buy it as soon as possible, and the amount is large! ”

In the lower right corner of the paper, it was also written: "Your dear Tao Tianshi Tao Ying wrote it himself, oh no, I found someone to write it on my behalf!" Yu Ban was furious after hearing this, and reached out to tear the paper to shreds.

Tear one, there are words on the next one, Yu Ban looked at the other side of the river, Tao Ying on the other side of the river ignored the identity of the main general and waved the flag to greet Yu Ban, this Yu Ban is also a famous general in the late Han Dynasty, which makes Tao Ying, who likes famous generals, how can he not help but say hello?
