Huang Zhong received Liu Biao's recall order, saying that he had been picked up by the raft in Hanshui, and asked him to quickly lead the troops to retreat.

This urgent order made Huang Zhong very embarrassed, and in the current situation, it was very dangerous to retreat quickly. But Liu Biao's general order could not be disobeyed.

Hearing that Cao Cao and Yu Ban were attacking together, he knew that he had obtained the information about his withdrawal on time. Huang Zhong immediately made a decision, abandoned all materials, lightened the burden of troops, and immediately retreated. But Rao is so, still half a beat slower.

Yu Banwei has been a general for many years, and he is very experienced, and after receiving Cao Cao's order, he immediately understood the meaning. They immediately raised their troops and crossed the water, but they did not go straight to the east. Instead, he went southeast, and happened to encounter Huang Zhong thirty miles north of Hanshui.

Huang Zhong saw that Yu Ban was so pressing, he was furious, raised his sword and rode his horse, and turned around to fight. Yu Ban shook his spirit, made the big gun move forward, met Huang Zhong, and stabbed when he was distracted.

Huang Zhong saw Yu Ban's spear coming, he didn't dodge or dodge, and slashed the nine-foot two-level goose wing knife and pressed Yu Ban's iron spear. Turning his hand back, a dragon swings its tail, and a slash is obliquely taken, straight to the forbidden throat.

Yu Ban knew that Huang Zhong's slashing range was extraordinary, so he hurriedly made an iron plate cross bridge, lowered his body to the horse's back, and dodged Huang Zhong's knife. The big gun shook his hand and clicked again, and he killed Huang Zhong in one place.

Knives and guns came and went, fighting more than 50 times, and Yu Ban was invincible to Huang Zhong's bravery, and turned the horse away. Huang Zhong chased his horse into the enemy group, beheaded more than ten generals, and caused chaos in the forbidden soldiers and horses.

At this time, Cao Cao's army arrived and entered the battle group. The Jingzhou army was outnumbered, and the kung fu was rushed in an instant.

Huang Zhong only led 500 relatives to follow, rushing back and forth in the enemy formation, everywhere he went, no one dared to be, all the way through the encirclement, but he did not see Wei Yan and Chen Wu's two generals.

Huang Zhong was furious, turned his horse's head, and returned to the battle group, rushing to the northwest. Rushing into more than 300 steps, I happened to see Chen Wu besieged by several Cao generals, and his situation was very urgent.

Huang Zhong arrived on horseback and immediately killed three generals, while the rest were frightened and scattered away. Therefore, he saved Chen Wu and broke through to the south. Bumped into Wei Yan on the way, and the three of them fought together, killing a bloody road and breaking out of the encirclement.

Cao Cao was furious when he saw that Huang Zhong and his entourage had escaped from the siege like this, and ordered the drums to be beaten.

Huang Zhong heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, hung up the nine-foot two-level goose wing knife, drew his bow and arrows, and turned around to shoot back. Eight arrows flew out one after another, and there were eight Cao generals who fell off the horse.

All those who saw it were horrified, and did not dare to chase after them. Huang Zhong was able to run to Hanshui, disembark and leave. Cao Bing rushed to the shore, Liu Biao had already prepared the raft with arrows, and immediately fired arrows in unison, Cao Bing could not approach the shore, and then stopped.

Huang Zhong retreated to the south bank, counted the soldiers and horses, and lost more than half, and was annoyed. Then he went to Nanjun and pleaded guilty to Liu Biao.

Liu Biao laughed, walked off the bookcase, picked up Huang Zhong, and said with a smile: "Han Sheng is the tiger general of the world!" Attack Cao Ying at night and fight Lu Bu bravely! Make Cao Cao at a loss! If it weren't for Liu Bei's ill-intentioned intentions, he would have taken a new wilderness. Today's defeat is a last resort, how can we talk about sin? In the eyes of this father, Han Sheng is not only innocent, but also has great merit! ”

Huang Zhonglian said that he was terrified. Liu Biao also rewarded Huang Zhong with gold and silver, brocade, and a hundred sharp blades to show his merits. Huang Zhong said that he had lost his troops and refused to accept it. Liu Biao did not allow it, so Huang Zhong scattered all the rewards to the soldiers, and the army was happy and inspired. When Liu Biao heard this, he also praised it.

Cao Cao occupied Yuzhou and Nanyang, and Liu Biao was busy defending Liu Bei. This situation is extremely unfavorable to the current Huwei army.

Gao Yun then asked Guo Jiadao: "So in the view of filial piety, what should we do?" ”

Guo Jia thought for a moment, and then replied: "Now Yuan Shao has been defeated by his eldest brother, and his soldiers and horses have lost seven or eight of his strength. Everyone in the world knows that the eldest brother will destroy Yuan Shao and take his land. Cao Cao lived next to our army, and he would never sit idly by and watch his eldest brother become strong. If the eldest brother crosses the Yellow River north, Cao Cao will inevitably cause trouble. In the opinion of the younger brother, Yuan Shao of the Northern Expedition no longer needs the strength of the whole army, and the eldest brother can send an order to return to Xuzhou to surprise Cao Cao; Then the Son of Heaven summoned and ordered Cao Cao to crusade against Yuan Shao and attack the state. Yuan Shao was exhausted, and the state was empty, and Cao Cao picked up the land of the state in vain, and he would inevitably obey his fate. In this way, Xuzhou's troubles will be solved."

Gao Yun nodded, "Yes, the alliance that competes for the world is most afraid of joining forces." At the beginning, we were tigers, and Cao Cao was just a goat at best, so he was naturally willing to form an alliance with us. But now, Cao Cao has a force comparable to us, and has grown from a goat to a tiger wolf. This alliance is also very fragile. The current situation may have to be like this. Cloud Length".

When Guan Yu heard the call of the eldest brother, he hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "The younger brother is here."

Gao Yun took an arrow in his hand and said to Guan Yu: "Cao Mengde is resourceful and decisive, not an idle person. Although I will give up the land of annexing the state, I will not be able to ensure that Cao Cao will not take the opportunity to invade Xuzhou. The second brother is good at military opportunities, wise and brave, only when you are at home, I can rest assured. Therefore, you immediately return to the camp, lead the tiger roar order, and return to Xuzhou. If Cao Cao knew that you were in Xuzhou, he would not dare to move lightly."

Guan Yu surrendered his hand, "The eldest brother can rest assured, but let the younger brother still have one strength, and never let others set foot in Xuzhou for half a step!" ”

Gao Yun smiled, "Good! ”。 Give the arrow to Guan Yu and let Guan Yu lead the troops back to Xuzhou. Then Gao Yun sent a fast horse all the way back to the Xuzhou Palace, and asked the Son of Heaven to issue an edict to Cao Cao to conquer the state in the north.

When Cao Cao received the order from the Son of Heaven, he laughed and asked everyone: "What do you think Gao Yun means by this?" ”

Cheng Yu replied: "This must be because Gao Yun learned that the lord destroyed Yuan Shu and broke Huang Zhong, and had occupied the land of Yuzhou and Nanyang. I am afraid that the lord will take the opportunity to attack Xuzhou, so he will carry out this plan to delay the army."

Cao Cao nodded in kindness, and then asked, "Then in the opinion of the princes, how should I be good?" ”

Xun Yu said: "Lord, in the opinion of his subordinates, Yuan Shao's strength has been exhausted, and there is nothing to be afraid of. On the contrary, the Huwei army has a strong neighbor on the side, which is very unfavorable. Gao Yun defeated Yuan Shao and will definitely raise troops to the north to capture Hebei and other places. His subordinates heard that Gao Yun only left the Huwei Army and the Second Brigade to guard Xuzhou, and Sun Ce abandoned it again. The remaining soldiers and horses are only forty or fifty thousand. Such a good opportunity, if it is lost, it will not come again, so the lord should take advantage of the emptiness of Xuzhou and raise troops to march eastward to pacify Qingxu in one fell swoop. Respect the Son of Heaven, in order to please the minister, the world can raise the flag! ”

As soon as Xun Yu's words came out, everyone in the martial arts agreed with him, and asked Cao Cao to send troops to Xuzhou and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

Cao Cao was overjoyed, "The words of the princes are very good, and I have this intention." Yesterday, the scouts reported that Gao Yun had led his troops to the north. This is a godsend, I don't know which general is willing to be the front? ”

Xiahoudun, Xu Huang, Yu Ban, Lu Bu, Cao Ren and others will compete to ask for help, willing to break the enemy for the front.

Cao Cao stopped everyone and said, "I am very relieved that you are so brave. However, the tiger army is brave and good at fighting, and the world knows it. Although there are only tens of thousands of people in Xuzhou today, they must not be underestimated. When the Tiger was imprisoned in the Sun, I once saw the courage of the Tiger Commander Dian Wei. Feng Xian's strength has not yet won. Although the generals have done their deeds, they must still be cautious."
