After Liu Bei escaped, Cao Cao hurriedly led his troops all the way north, his grain and grass were no longer supported, and Xiapi City could not be attacked for a long time, and Wuyuan had the rise of Tao Ergongzi's rookie, which made Cao Cao have to retreat quickly.

Liu Bei was defeated and returned to Xiapi, and on the way back, he met Cao Bao who came to chase him. Cao Bao came to see Liu Bei in person, and a piece of Liu Bei's armor fell off, and his face was decadent.

Cao Bao asked the soldiers and horses to be stationed on the spot, Liu Bei looked at Cao Bao, and became a little worried, he didn't believe the words of Tao Ergongzi, and he really failed.

Entering the Cao Bao camp, Cao Bao led nearly 10,000 soldiers, and the Cao Zi banner continued to count and reason, and the momentum was very huge. After seeing Cao Bao in the camp tent, Cao Bao hurriedly entertained Liu Bei to sit up. Looking at Liu Bei, Cao Bao couldn't help but ask about the battle ahead.

"General Liu didn't go after Cao Bing, why did he return defeated?"

Cao Bao was obviously a little sarcastic, Liu Bei sighed and said: "I didn't expect Cao Cao to be cunning, I went to chase him, he pretended to be defeated and lured me to pursue for nearly a day's journey, our army was exhausted, but he ambushed the two Xiahou brothers, and I waited for the brothers to fight to the death." ”

As soon as I heard that Cao Cao was still so resourceful even though he had retreated, he first deceived himself with an empty camp plan, and after being found out, he ambushed halfway, and sure enough, not ordinary people can be defeated!

Cao Bao asked again: "I know that Cao Thief is scheming, what should I do now?" ”

Liu Bei thought for a while and said: "Why don't I wait for Xia Pi to go back, I think this may be Cao Cao's strategy to lure him, if I wait for the army to come out, Cao Cao Fu will sneak attack Xia Pi from behind, if Xia Pi is broken, won't Tao Thorn Shi suffer?" ”

Cao Bao didn't dare to fight Cao Cao, and it happened that Liu Bei found an excuse, so he was also busy and led the troops back to Xiapi City. The spies over there reported to Cao Cao, Liu Bei's soldiers retreated, and Cao Bao's army also returned to Xiapi together, Cao Cao ordered the whole army to quickly retreat to Liangcheng, and then went north to plunder Donghai County and then returned to Yanzhou.

Cao Bing went all the way north, and when Cao Cao arrived in Liangcheng, Tao Ying also led his soldiers and horses to Liangcheng. After meeting with Zang Ba, Tao Ying placed his soldiers and horses on the edge of Yishui.

After stationing the soldiers and horses, Tao Ying hurriedly ordered the spies to inquire about the news, and the spies hurriedly transmitted the news from the front day and night. In the riverside camp, Tao Ying and Zang Ba sat side by side on the main seat of the big tent, and many generals sat next to them.

The spy knelt on the ground and said: "Marshal, news has come from Xuzhou, General Liu retreated to Xiapi after the defeat in Liangcheng, Cao Bao did not dare to send troops to chase, the main force of Cao's army is almost here!" ”

Zang Ba frowned after hearing this, and Tao Ying also sighed and said: "Marshal, Cao Bing is brave, we can't resist it, it's better to camp here for the time being, and I'll talk to Cao Cao." ”

Zang Ba nodded and said, "Cao Cao is arrogant and willing to talk to others? It is better to break his front troops Li Gan first, and capture Li Gan to confront him. ”

Tao Ying nodded, and at noon, Zang Ba led the army to call for battle in front of Li Qian's camp. Because of the arrival of Tao Ergongzi, the morale of the entire Xuzhou soldiers was greatly boosted, and Li Qianjun's morale was a little sluggish because the myth of Tao Ergongzi was spreading everywhere.

Seeing Zang Ba coming to fight, Li Gan refused to admit defeat and wanted to tell the soldiers that Tao Ying was not a god, so he wanted to test how much water Tao Ying had today, so he led the troops out of the battle.

The two armies faced each other, and Tao Ying fought all the way without saying a word, and this time he was serious and serious, and he was really uncomfortable.

After Li Gan lined up his soldiers and horses in a formation, and Zang Ba also sent troops to set up the formation, Li Gan rode forward a certain distance, and Zang Ba also rode out. And Li Gan looked behind Zang Ba and laughed: "Xuzhou compares the second son to a god, don't you dare to meet me today?" ”

After Li Gan finished speaking, the army behind him all laughed, and Zang Ba shouted angrily: "How dare you meet my lord?" Wait for me to capture you, and let you kneel to see my lord! ”

After Zang Ba finished speaking, he brandished his weapon and went to fight Li Gan, and Li Gan hurriedly urged his horse to meet the battle. The two competed in front of the battle, although Li Gan was powerful, but in front of Zang Ba was still a lot, and after more than a dozen rounds, Li Gan was already sweating profusely. The generals behind Li Gan all sweated for Li Gan.

Seeing that Li Gan was not Zang Ba's opponent, a person behind Li Gan suddenly shouted: "Father saw that I came to meet him!" After speaking, he killed in front of the battle, Li Gan just turned around and wanted to leave, but he didn't want Zang Ba to reach out for the bow and arrow, and an arrow hit Li Gan's war horse, Li Gan was thrown to the ground by the war horse, Zang Ba Pegasus went straight to Li Gan's side and grabbed Li Gan and brought him back immediately.

Seeing that Li Gan was captured, another young general behind him also shouted his uncle and came out of the battle, and Cao Bing saw that the main general was caught by others after only a dozen rounds, and they all had no fighting spirit and wanted to escape.

And this side caught the enemy's main general, Tao Jiajun's morale was greatly boosted for a while, and when he saw two young generals coming from the opposite side, Tao Ying also waved his hand, and Sun Guan and Wu Dun and others over there were also busy killing them.

Wu Dun fought against the youngest general, and the general looked like he was in his twenties, and Wu Dun could not win the battle for several rounds. Seeing this, Tao Ying pointed to the young general who made the gun and shouted: "Who is going to meet the young general who robbed the young general for a while?" Fifty taels of silver for catching alive! ”

After Tao Ying finished speaking, Zhao Yun behind him shot and killed him, and seeing that Zhao Yun was coming, Wu Dun knew that Tao Ying wanted to give this credit to Zhao Yun, so he hurriedly retreated.

On the battlefield, in front of the two armies, the four generals fought together, Sun Guan and another general fought nearly 20 rounds without winning or losing, Sun Guan was old after all, so he used his brains and sold a breakthrough with the young general, the young general hurriedly raised his knife and cut it over, but he didn't want Sun Guan to jump from the horse, and threw the young general from the horse to the ground, and then pulled out the waist knife to cut the general's head.

Tao Ying hurriedly shouted above: "Leave people under General Sun's saber and capture them alive!" Sun Guan hurriedly raised the knife and escorted the young general of Yuan over, and the enemy general who fought with Zhao Yun here became even more irritable.

Both of them are guns, but Zhao Yun is already twenty-four or five, and it is the time when his combat effectiveness is the strongest, and the little general who fights in less than two rounds has no power to fight back.

Tao Ying immediately shouted: "Hey, that little general, surrender quickly, you are not my third brother's opponent, lest my third brother hurt you!" ”

After Tao Ying shouted, the young general became even more angry, raised his gun and stabbed Zhao Yun continuously, not wanting Zhao Yun to grab the spear he stabbed, he dragged him off the horse with a force, and then pointed the gun at him and captured him alive.

After the capture of the three enemy generals, Cao Bing lost the main general and the two sons of the main general, a group of soldiers and horses scattered in all directions, Zang Ba led the troops to round up, many Cao soldiers saw that they could not run away and raised their hands to surrender, this battle Tao Ying won again, captured Li Gan three people, captured nearly 3,000 soldiers.

In order to prevent the surrendered troops from making trouble after Cao Cao's arrival, some people suggested that all the surrendered troops should be killed, just like Cao Cao treated the people of Xuzhou. Tao Ying shook his head and said, "Everyone has parents, if I kill innocents indiscriminately, what is the difference between Cao and Cao thieves?" ”

After listening to Li Gan on the ground, he spat fiercely at Tao Ying, Tao Ying didn't care about him, and after gathering the prisoners together, he called Jin and withdrew his troops.
