Chen County, Lai Township.

After two days of rest, Yuan Jun's physical strength has recovered a lot.

At dusk, the dusty Ding Feng caught up with the army again.

"Gongzi, Zhuzhu, Zhuyi Cao Jun is dispatched!" Poor Ding Feng, because of the continuous long-distance rapid march, was so tired that he was almost out of breath.

"Good guy, Cao Jun is finally out of the hole!" Yuan Wei said excitedly.

Liu Ye also asked urgently: "Ah Feng, are you sure you see clearly?" ”

"See clearly, the villain is really real." Ding Feng gasped and said, "At least a thousand Cao troops have been driven out of Zhuyi, and in addition to the Cao army of Zhuyi, there are at least four thousand Cao troops in the dense forests on the east and west banks, and all of them are elite armored soldiers, not those vulnerable county soldiers." ”

Tai Shi Ci, Gan Ning, and Liang Gang looked at each other.

Liu Ye couldn't help but cast an admiring glance at Yuan No.

Unexpectedly, there was really an ambush in Zhuyi, if it weren't for the suspicion of the son this time, I was afraid that he would have been ambushed.

Liu Ye couldn't imagine at all that when Yuan Jun was crossing Suishui from the shallow part of Zhuyi to the east, Cao Jun who was ambushed in the dense forests on the east and west banks suddenly came out, what kind of predicament Yuan Jun would face?

At this time, Liu Ye naturally didn't know that Zhuyi was not just an ambush?

Yuan Fu was silent on the surface, but secretly he was also shocked into a cold sweat, and said: "Now it's okay, since the Cao army of Zhuyi has been led out of the hole by us, then next, we should also kill the horse pistol." ”

Liu Ye said: "Childe, there is still a problem, although Cao Jun of Zhuyi has been lured out. However, Cao Cao's army is likely to have bypassed the deep mountains and old forests. Rushed to Zhuyi. If we rush back at this time, will we just meet Cao Cao's army head-on? I thought it would be better for us to wait two more days. ”

"Oh, yes, yes, if it weren't for Ziyang's reminder, it would have almost broken the big thing." Yuan Wei nodded approvingly, and continued, "Since that's the case." Then we will simply play the play more realistically, and the whole army will continue to march westward and approach Xuchang! Even if you are scared, you have to scare Cao Cao out of a cold sweat. ”

Xiahou Yuan, who was stationed in Xiang County, was the first to receive an urgent document from Xuchang.

Hearing that Xuchang was in danger, Xiahou Yuan directly broke out in a cold sweat, as Cao Cao's henchman, Xiahou Yuan knew too well the value of Xuchang and the Son of Heaven, it is no exaggeration to say that the Cao Group can have today's strength and territory, half of which is due to Cao Cao and the pioneering spirit of the clansmen, and half of it is due to the order of the Son of Heaven.

Xiahou Yuan couldn't imagine it. Once the Son of Heaven is lost, what kind of predicament will the Cao Group face?

Especially. If the Son of Heaven falls into the hands of Yuan Shao, then the situation faced by the Cao Group will be even more difficult, and Yuan Wei was originally the strongest prince today, once he controls the Son of Heaven again, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings?

Thinking of this, Xiahou Yuan couldn't sit still anymore, even if Zhang Liao on the opposite side was about to move by transferring troops to punish the generals, Xiahou Yuan couldn't take care of it, even if the entire Peijun was lost, it couldn't shake the foundation of the Cao family, but once Xuchang was lost, once the Son of Heaven was robbed, it would be a big trouble.

At that moment, Xiahou Yuan handed over the defense of Peijun to the deputy general Le Jin, and then personally led five thousand elite armor soldiers to rush back, and they rushed back at the speed of a forced march.

Almost at the same time that Xiahou Yuan received the urgent document, Cao Cao also received an urgent report from Cao Ren, and at this time, Cao Cao's 5,000 elite soldiers had just bypassed the primeval forest of Shansang County and joined Xu Huang's troops in Dan County.

Knowing that Xu Huang had trapped Yuan No's general Ji Ling, Cao Cao was still very happy.

Yuan Wei's troops broke through from Runan in three ways, and Cao Cao also organized three elite soldiers to encircle and pursue them, among which in addition to Cao Cao personally led the first army, the other two roads were led by Cao Ren and Xu Huang.

Cao Ren pursued Liang Gang and Liu Ye all the way, Xu Huang pursued Ji Ling all the way, and Cao Cao personally pursued Yuan No.

However, Cao Cao and Cao Ren have not been able to achieve decent results until now, Cao Cao has lost his troops along the way, and even his adopted son Cao Zhen and the most elite tiger and leopard riders have folded in, but Xu Huang unexpectedly trapped Ji Ling's department with only 5,000 elite soldiers.

"Komei, well done!" Cao Cao was sincerely amazed.

Xu Huang said modestly: "The last general is just a fluke." ”

"Fluke?" Cao Cao said, "Gongming is too modest, you are not a fluke. ”

Xun You, who followed behind Cao Cao, also said: "The art of war, ten are to besiege it, five are to attack it, and multiple is divided, it can be seen that it takes more than ten times the strength advantage to implement the siege, but the strength of General Gongming is only equal to that of the thief soldiers, and he can successfully implement the siege, and do not let the thief soldiers get rid of a soldier, which is really admirable." ”

Cao Cao thought so, and pointed to the trench outside Danxian County and asked Xu Huang: "Gongming, what you imitated in this battle was the tactics of Lian Po who resisted the Qin army during the Battle of Changping?" ”

Xu Huang hurriedly said: "The lord's eyes are like torches, and he can see at a glance that the last general is a teacher of the law, and the last general admires it." ”

Xu Huang really learned the tactics of Lian Po in Changping to resist the Qin army, to put it bluntly, it is a deep ditch high base, but Xu Huang took another step forward on the basis of Lian Po's deep ditch high base, Lian Po's deep ditch high base is only used for defense, but Xu Huang's deep ditch high base has been used in the attack, it can really be said that the blue is better than the blue.

While he was talking, Cheng Yu suddenly walked over with a solemn expression and said, "Lord, there is an urgent report!" ”

After speaking, Cheng Yu handed the letter in his hand to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's face immediately changed after reading it.

Cao Xiu, Xu Chu, and Lu Qian, the generals next to him, saw it, and their hearts jumped, shouldn't something happen?

This urgent letter was just sent by Cao Ren's flying cavalry, and the letter only said one thing, that is, Yuan Fu's army had unexpectedly turned west and went to Xuchang, and Guo Jia's inference was also attached to the letter: Yuan Hao may have colluded with Xuchang's anti-Cao group, and the anti-Cao group is likely to cooperate with Yuan No, and the inside and outside should jointly attack Xudu and rob the Son of Heaven.

After Cao Cao finished reading the letter, he handed the letter to Xun You, and Xun You handed it to Jia Xu after reading it.

Without waiting for Cao Cao to ask, Xun You said: "Lord, the matter is big, so you should return to help quickly." ”

Jia Xu also echoed and said: "I also think that Xuchang is fundamental, and there is absolutely no room for error." ”

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "However, could this be another conspiracy of Yuan Wei'er?" ”

Is Yuan suspicious by nature, and Boss Cao is also suspicious by nature? In their bones, the two are actually the same kind of people, and they belong to the same raccoon dog.

Xun You, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu looked at each other, could this be a conspiracy?

Cao Cao frowned, and then said: "Princess, if Yuan No Xiao'er and the anti-Cao group in Xuchang City did not collude, in case Yuan No Xiao'er just heard the news from Liu Bei, and then used this to blempty there, then I will come to Xuchang's aid, wouldn't I fall for his plan to divert the tiger from the mountain?" Wouldn't he be able to take advantage of the void to cross the water? ”

Cheng Yu said: "Even if this is Yuan No's conspiracy, we can't take care of it, because we can't afford to take this risk." ”

Jia Xu also echoed and said: "What Brother Gongda said is extremely true, there is a way to choose the lesser of two evils, compared with the danger of Xuchang and the safety of the Son of Heaven, Yuan is nothing." ”

Xun You said: "If the lord is really not at ease, he can make a general hold Zhuyi, which is the only section of the river in Pei County that can wade across the river, as long as the Zhuyi is not lost, Yuan Jun will not want to cross Suishui eastward, and when the danger of Xuchang is alleviated, the lord still has the opportunity to return to Pei County to clean up Yuan." ”

Cao Cao bowed slightly.

The next moment, Cao Cao's gaze fell on Xu Huang and said, "Gongming, the task of guarding Zhuyi will be handed over to you." ”

"Ahh Xu Huang was surprised and said, "What about Yuan Jun in the city of Dan County?" ”

Cao Cao said: "The Yuan army of Dan County is handed over to Lu Qian, and Gongming can go to Zhuyi as soon as possible." ”

The movement of Cao's army outside the city soon alarmed the Yuan army at the head of Danxian County.

At noon, when the black pressure was like an ant Cao army came to the outside of Danxian County one after another, the soldiers of Yuan Jun at the head of Danxian County were very worried for a while, and said that as soon as the reinforcements of the Cao army arrived, it was time to attack the city in a big way, and Ji Ling, Xu Sheng, and Li Feng were even ready to fight with the Cao army to the end.

However, to Ji Ling, Xu Sheng and Li Feng, what surprised them was that Cao's army did not attack the city.

After arriving at the time of Shen, the Cao army, which had just arrived outside Danxian at noon, drove away in another group, and even the Cao army that was originally stationed outside Danxian County, the Cao army that had besieged them for almost ten days, also left, and was replaced by another Cao army, and even the main general of the Cao army was changed.

Li Feng said: "Where is Cao Jun singing?" Luring the snake out of the hole? ”

Xu Sheng said: "Cao Jun is singing to lure the snake out of the hole, and we have to get out of the hole, right?" ”

Ji Ling nodded silently, although the Cao army outside the city was changed, but the trench that was dug was not filled, and the Yuan army in the city wanted to break through the three-layer trench outside the city, but it was not easy, in the past ten days, Xu Sheng and Li Feng took turns to lead the army to attack, but they were unable to break through the siege of the Cao army, and they were all driven back by the Cao army.

Xu Sheng suddenly pointed to Cao Jun Daxu outside the city and said, "General, look, the commander of the Cao Army seems to have changed." ”

"Well, really?" When Ji Ling looked at it in a hurry, he saw that the Xu character Daxu that was originally flying in front of Cao Jun's camp had been replaced by Lu Zi Daxu at this moment.

"Lu?" Li Feng frowned and said, "It can't be Lu Bu, right?" ”

"Impossible." Ji Ling shook his head and said, "Peijun is Cao Cao's territory, how can Lu Bu be here?" ”

After a pause, Ji Ling said again: "If I guessed correctly, it should be Lu Qian, it is said that this person is also a military general who can fight well, but compared to Xu Huang before, it is obviously inferior, although I don't understand why Cao Jun changed generals, but this should be our last chance." ”
