Gao Yun was determined to forge ahead in Hebei. As soon as these words came out, the crowd was excited, and the generals rushed to ask for help, willing to break the enemy for the first.

Only Guo Jia was a little embarrassed, got up and persuaded: "Big brother, at this time, Yuan Shao's momentum has declined, and it is not difficult to break it." It can be divided into five roads of soldiers and horses, and the long drive is large, and Jizhou can be leveled in one fell swoop. To the north of the Yellow River, Leling and the two counties of the plain are the closest, so the two armies can be taken first, and the troops can be fortified to ensure that the supply of the army is unhindered. After that, the three counties of Bohai, Qinghe and Hejian were taken in turn. Our army will be defeated by victory and defeated by Shun, and it will be like a bamboo. If the cities of the five counties can be obtained, the soldiers and horses will converge in one place, and the battle of Jizhou can be determined. It's just that there is a violation right now, and the eldest brother must not ignore it."

Gao Yun looked at Guo Jia, "What Feng Xiao refers to, but Cao Mengde?" ”

Guo Jia nodded, "Exactly, the day before yesterday, Xuzhou came to report that Cao Cao had taken Nanyang and occupied Yuzhou." Yuan Shu was killed by Xiahou Dun. Liu Biao's army had retreated to the south of Hanshui and held on to Xiangyang. Liu Beitun also had heavy troops in Badong, which seemed to have the intention of taking Nanjun. Liu Biao was restrained by it and was too busy to take care of himself. Now Cao Cao has no worries, and the eldest brother is far away from Xuzhou, so it is difficult to ensure that Cao Cao does not have different hearts."

After Guo Jia said these words, Gao Yun was speechless for a long time, his brows tightened. He naturally knew about these situations and thought of many ways, but there was never a solution for both.

Based on Gao Yun's original calculation, Liu Biao and Cao Cao are deadlocked, and they may not be able to distinguish the winner from the winner until the winter. I just took this opportunity to pacify Hebei, Liaodong and other places.

But what I didn't expect was that Liu Bei would insert a lever, which was really not calculated.

After Gao Yun led the Huwei army to the north, Yuzhou and Nanyang were also very happy. After the defeat of Yuan Shu, the soldiers returned to Yuzhou, and received a surprise report on the way, saying that Cao Cao's troops were divided into two routes, taking Yuzhou and Nanyang.

These two places are Yuan Shu's lair, and when he heard this letter, Yuan Shu was almost scared to death. But he had just been defeated, and his troops were scarce, and it was impossible to save both. In desperation, Yuan Shu had no choice but to abandon the distance and lead all the remaining soldiers and horses to Yuzhou.

Xiahoudun was ordered by Cao Cao to take Yuzhou, and he also knew that if Yuan Shu returned to the army, he would definitely give priority to saving Yuzhou. Therefore, he first sent Xiahou Wushuang to lead 5,000 elite troops, and marched lightly, and arrived at the city of Yuzhou in half a day.

Coincidentally, Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses were very turbulent because they had not been paid food and salary for more than three months. Yuan Shu was a little better when he was there, and now Yuan Shu led the troops out, and the defenders of Yuzhou City could be regarded as letting go. The officers and men of the battalions went to the prefecture to ask for food and wages.

However, there are few good-tempered officials under Yuan Shao, and the Yuzhou treasury officials are relatives of Yuan Shu. On weekdays, he is used to being majestic, where can he afford to look down on these soldiers. I don't have money and don't explain it to others, but I slander it all the time. It made the defenders of Yuzhou indignant.

It was at this time that Xia Hou Wushuang led his troops to the city. Liang Kuan, the defender of Yuzhou, hurriedly gathered his troops and horses and went out of the city to meet the enemy.

When they came to the city gate, the defenders of Yuzhou had no fighting spirit, passed the buck to each other, and stopped moving. Liang Kuan was furious and swung a knife to kill a pawn, in a vain attempt to make an example.

But he stabbed the basket this time, and the soldier's dissatisfaction was instantly aroused. In a hurry, he opened the city gate, put the drawbridge, and beckoned Cao Bing to enter the city.

Xia Hou Wushuang saw the mutiny in the city, urged the horse to carry the knife, and led the army to the city gate. Liang Kuan is in the doorway, and there is no way to advance or retreat. Xia Hou Wushuang rushed to the front and slashed with two knives. Liang Kuan was caught off guard and was slashed off the horse by Xia Hou Wushuang.

The city of Yuzhou had no generals, and was determined by Xia Hou Wushuang in a battle, with more than 20,000 people surrendering.

When Yuan Shu arrived in Yuzhou, Xia Hou Wushuang had already occupied the city for a long time. Yuan Shu was furious and sent troops to attack the city.

After a short fight, the rear army brigade of Xiahou's family arrived. Xiahoudun took the lead, and rushed to the enemy formation with a single sword, and killed thirteen enemy generals in a row until the Chinese army.

Yuan Shu was shocked and walked away in fear. Xiahoudun shook his might, chased all the way for more than 40 miles, and captured Yuan Shusheng alive.

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard that Xiahou had taken Yuzhou and captured Yuan Shu alive. Immediately give an order to correct Yuan Shu on the spot. personally led the army, rushed to Nanyang, and fought with Liu Biao.

The war in Nanyang was not as smooth as in Yuzhou. Liu Biao made Huang Zhong a general, Wei Yan Chen Wu as a deputy general, and led 50,000 soldiers and horses to cross the Han River to the north and enter Xinye.

Cao Cao made Cao Ren a general, led Wancheng's soldiers and horses south, and also took Xinye. The two armies happened to encounter in the suburbs of Xinye, and they lined up to fight.

Huang Zhong urged the horse to raise his sword, went straight out of the front of the battle, and fought Cao Ren alone. Cao Ren was furious, and flew out with a wolf's tooth sledgehammer to meet Huang Zhong.

The two of them fought for more than 50 times, Huang Zhong became more and more brave the more he fought, the nine-foot two-level goose wing knife was like a wind and clouds, the knife was like a thunderbolt, and the move was more than thunder.

Cao Ren couldn't imagine that Huang Zhong was so strong, so he became more and more frightened in his heart, and fled.

Where is Huang Zhong willing to give up, he urged the war horse tightly, and chased after him. Cao Ren's subordinates Yu Mi and Yao Jiang saw that the master was in danger, so they hurriedly went out together, each raising a knife and gun to stop Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong shouted, raised his knife and slashed, only one knife, and knocked Mi to the ground. Yao Jiang was so shocked that he didn't dare to fight, so he turned his horse and left.

Huang Zhong sneered, hung the knife on the iron beam, drew the bow and arrow, raised his hand to shoot, and Yao Jiang fell off the horse.

Wei Yan and Chen Wu saw Huang Zhong's victory and marched forward. Cao Ren could not resist the enemy, and fought and walked, retreated ten miles in defeat, and the soldiers and horses were carefully damaged. He didn't dare to fight Huang Zhong again, so he had to set up camp on the spot and send people to Xuchang to report to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao ordered the transfer of troops and horses and the collection of grain and baggage, but the soldiers and horses had not yet left the city at this time. Suddenly received an urgent report from Cao Ren and was shocked. Hurriedly sent a fast horse to Yuzhou, and transferred Xiahoudun to reinforce Cao Ren.

I didn't want Huang Zhong to get the news earlier, knowing that Xiahou was leaving Yuzhou, so he hurriedly ordered troops and horses with Wei Yan, pulled out the camp overnight, quietly marched eastward, and ambushed near Pingshi Avenue.

Xiahoudun galloped to the aid of Cao Ren, and the soldiers and horses rushed forward, traveling more than 200 miles in one day and night. When I arrived at Ping's, I was already sleepy.

Huang Zhong was overjoyed when he saw that it was Xiahoudun's soldiers and horses, and with an order, the ambush soldiers rose up and raided Xiahoudun's army.

Xiahoudun was defenseless, and his soldiers and horses were tired from afar, unable to resist Huang Zhong and Wei Yan's two Biao armies, and left in defeat.

Cao Ren was worried when he heard that the scout had reported that Xiahoudun had encountered Huang Zhong in the Ping clan. hurriedly ordered 10,000 troops and went east out of the camp to help Xiahoudun.

But I didn't expect that less than 20 miles out of the village, I happened to meet Huang Zhong's return army. Cao Ren never imagined that Xiahoudun would be defeated by Huang Zhong so quickly, and originally wanted to rush behind Huang Zhong and fight a front and back attack.

As soon as this encounter occurred, Cao Ren suddenly panicked. Huang Zhong was overjoyed when he saw that it was Cao Ren's soldiers and horses, and he raised his sword and took the Chinese army directly.

Cao Ren knew that Huang Zhong was powerful, so he didn't dare to face the battle, so he retreated and left. Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses had just won a big victory, and their morale was like a rainbow. followed Huang Zhong and marched bravely, shouting and killing.

Cao Ren had few soldiers and horses, so he couldn't resist it, so he retreated in defeat. Huang Zhong led his troops and horses in hot pursuit and drove out ten miles away.

Cao Ren's soldiers and horses were killed and wounded, and he was about to be wiped out. Suddenly, a team of soldiers and horses appeared on the official road in the north, shouting and killing.
