"What?" Li Dian, who had just entered the city gate cave, was taken aback when he saw this scene. "Bastard, who made you do that? How many tens of thousands of brothers are out there? After Li Dian came back to his senses, his first reaction was to jump like thunder and roar at the soldiers who closed the door.

"I made them do it!" At this time, Cao Ying's voice came, and Li Dian and Yu Ban turned back in amazement, but saw that Cao Ying had been waiting for them for a long time. Li Dian's lips trembled, and finally spoke: "King Wei, isn't this the death of tens of thousands of brothers trapped outside the city?" ”

"If not, I'll all die today!" Cao Ying sighed. This is also a helpless way, otherwise, Cao Ying will not be able to preserve as much living power as possible. Relying on the less than 20,000 men and horses that are full of favors, Cao Ying is really not sure that he can hold Xuchang under the attack of Guan Yu and Zhang Liao.

The blazing firewood and grass instantly burned hundreds of nearest soldiers to death, and also made Zhang Liao and Guan Yu's plan to follow into the city come to naught, but it also blocked nearly 30,000 Cao troops outside the city. At this time, no matter how stupid people were, they knew that they had been completely abandoned and left alone outside the city to face Guan Yu and Zhang Liao's army of nearly 100,000. For a time, the mood of confusion, fear and even despair filled the hearts of everyone in this lonely army. Even the Jingzhou army and the Xuzhou army were embarrassed by this sudden fire and were forced to retreat.

"Junhou, I didn't expect Cao Ying to be so ruthless!" Zhang Liao looked at the scene in front of him and said in shock. Guan Yu didn't make a sound, but Xu Shu sighed: "Cao Ying has always been unscrupulous, if not, Xuchang City would be broken today!" After a pause, Xu Shu said to Guan Yu again: "Junhou, now that the Cao army outside the city is broken, let's surrender them first!" ”

"That's how it should be!" Guan Yu sighed and said, and then ordered someone to step forward and surrender loudly. Most of Cao's army was already hopeless, and now that someone surrendered, most of them wisely chose to give up resistance. Although some people still wanted to resist, they were not able to offer this last loyalty to Cao Ying, and they were solved by their comrades who were afraid of being implicated. In just half an hour, nearly 30,000 Cao troops under Xuchang City were basically absorbed by Guan Yu. Guan Yu ordered Dong Xi to lead the people to escort them to the rear, and he had his own relevant personnel to reorganize them. At the same time, Guan Yu ordered the troops to set up camp, surround Xuchang, and sent someone to inform Liu Bei.

In the evening of this day, Liu Bei, under the escort of everyone, also came to the city of Xuchang. "Big brother, Cao Ying has been besieged by me in Xuchang. However, there are still 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and horses in this guy, and if you want to attack for a while, it may not be effective! After a meeting, Guan Yu also reported to Liu Beiyu.

"The city wall of Xuchang is dangerous, but it is unwise to attack it. In this way, according to the established strategy, first besiege Cao Ying, and cut off the contact between Xuchang and even Yanzhou and Hebei! Liu Bei thought for a while. At that time, Huang Zhong was sent to lead the army to capture Zhongmu and Changshe counties, and Chen Zhi led the army to settle in Guandu to prevent Chen Liu and Cao's army from Hebei from coming to the rescue at any time. At the same time, he sent people to contact Zhang Fei and Gao Ran in the south to see if they could completely solve Cao Ren's 80,000-strong army in one fell swoop.

"Dang!" With a loud bang, the iron spear and the Zhangba snake spear parted, and Zhang Fei and Zhang Jaw each retreated a few steps. Looking at the open jaw in front of him, Zhang Fei's heart was full of unwillingness. This guy is the same as Cao Ren, he is a cautious person, as soon as Wen Ping came from Nanyang, they found that the momentum was not right, and immediately turned around and ran. Cao Ren opened the way, and after opening the jaw palace, 80,000 people hurriedly retreated to Liang County. Zhang Fei immediately pursued at full speed, but he failed to swallow this Cao army in one bite, and only caught up with a tail and fought a small battle. Moreover, because of Zhang Jaw's outstanding performance, Zhang Fei couldn't swallow the little tail of 20,000 people.

"Zhang Junyi, from Beihai to Runan, will you only run away after so many years?" Since it is said that the opponent cannot be completely annihilated today, then the fight of words is also to make the third master feel better than his addiction. He snorted coldly and didn't say anything, just tried to direct the soldiers to retreat as much as possible. However, at this moment, there was also a look of surprise on his face, for he saw Gao Guan, who was hurrying to drive his horse.

"Don't you come to harm?" After Gao Ran arrived in a hurry, the first thing he said was to reminisce about the past. Zhang Jaw's expression changed several times, and finally he sighed: "Thanks to Jing Zhong's concern, Zhang Jaw is fine." It's been six years since Beihai said goodbye, and I don't know how Jingzhong is doing now? ”

"The younger brother is all right, but the elder brother, now Cao Ying has been trapped in Xuchang, and sooner or later he will be arrested. My brother is a talented learner, don't go against the sky with Cao Ying! Gao Ran hesitated slightly, but still opened his mouth to persuade. Zhang Jaw was not surprised when he heard this, but just waved his hand and said: "I understand my brother's kindness, but I Zhang Jaw is deeply favored by King Wei, how can I go against it." Today, you and I can be their masters, although we have to meet on the battlefield, we can only settle our destiny. ”

"Brother!" Gao Ran was waiting to be persuaded, but he heard the noise of the retreating Cao army's front army, and Zhang Jaw was stunned for a moment. At this moment, Zhang Fei's arrogant voice sounded again: "Zhang Jaw, do you think that only Wen Zhongye and I will come to attack you, Cao Ren retreated east, and Brother Ji has been waiting there for a long time!" ”

"What, Ji Ling?" The jaw was really unexpected this time. Although he and Cao Ren were very vigilant, as soon as they found out that the other party wanted to flank them, they immediately retreated to Liang County. But how could the 80,000 army withdraw as soon as they said they would withdraw, and they had already penetrated deep into the hinterland of Runan, although they had accelerated their retreat as soon as possible and avoided Wen Ping, they still let Guan Hai and Ji Ling, who rushed from Peiguo, block.

"Cao Ren will die!" Looking at Cao Ren in front of him, Ji Ling knew that this was a big fish, and he was overjoyed and hurriedly pulled Guan Hai to deal with Cao Ren together. Cao Ren is good at defending the city, his martial arts are just average, Ji Ling and Guan Hai are not losing to him one-on-one, and now two against one is firmly in the upper hand. Seeing that after a maximum of thirty rounds of fighting, Cao Ren was about to fall to the ground.

"General Cao, let's go!" A silver spear suddenly hit the ground, blocking Guan Hai's big knife that slashed at Cao Ren's head. Cao Ren, who had escaped the catastrophe, looked back, but saw that it was Zhang Xiu, who was ordered to stay in Liang County, who saved his life, and he led his Xiliang Iron Cavalry to respond to him. The 30,000 people in Guan Hai and Ji Ling's department were all foot soldiers, although the Xiliang Iron Cavalry only had more than 2,000 points, they actually asked them to rush out of a bloody way and kill them.

"Let's go!" Cao Ren didn't dare to fight, and gritted his teeth and felt like beckoning everyone to run away. Ji Ling and Guan Hai saw that the duck with their beaks was about to fly away, so they hurriedly chased after them, but saw Zhang Xiu blocking in front of them. Ji Ling snorted coldly, and then waved the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand and slashed towards Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu looked at this knife, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he shot seven or eight shots in a row, killing Ji Ling unable to parry. Guan Hai wanted to chase Cao Ren, but seeing that Ji Ling couldn't parry, he hurriedly stepped forward to attack. With two enemies and one, the battle will be a draw.

"That's amazing!" The more Ji Ling fought, the more frightened he became, this embroidered martial arts was so high, I was afraid that except for Guan Yu and their level, no one would be able to defeat him. Now that I have to help myself, I just barely have a draw. As soon as the two of them were entangled by Zhang Xiu, Cao Renke ran away, and he suddenly became anxious.

"Zhang Xiu'er, eat me!" There was a roar on the ground, and a big knife slashed over, but it was Sun Fu of the former army who saw that the two of them couldn't fight Zhang Xiu, so the surname Suo came over to attack. Zhang Xiu didn't care, the exquisite moves of the hundred birds and the phoenix spear emerged in endlessly, and it was still easy to fight with one enemy and three.

"Withdraw!" But it was Zhang Jaw who got Zhang Xiu's help and began to command the rear army to retreat together. Seeing that several accidents caused Cao Ren to escape, Zhang Fei was now seriously unhappy, and roared angrily at the moment, and directly waved his army to Zhang Xiu's side, but left the army to Gao Ran's command, and tried to solve Zhang Xiu's problem first.

"A thousand armies are broken!" With a roar, Zhang Fei's Zhangba snake spear stabbed straight into Zhang Xiu's heart, although the latter was in the fierce battle, he also felt a fierce murderous aura attacking him, and hurriedly forced Sun Fu and the other three to retreat, and then crossed the spear in his hand and took Zhang Fei's move.

"Dang" There was a loud bang, Zhang Xiu felt that he had never received such a heavy move, Sun Fu and the others saw Zhang Fei coming, and knew that Zhang Xiu was defeated and invincible, so they hurriedly dispersed to pursue Cao Ren. Zhang Xiu was in a hurry, but Zhang Fei in front of him was a rare rival in his life, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he would die on the spot, so he should concentrate on dealing with the enemy in front of him first.

"you!" Zhang Fei gritted his teeth, the Zhangba snake spear attacked more and more urgently, and the attack became faster and faster, Zhang Xiu was already tired of parrying, and gritted his teeth and stabbed the belly of the black horse under Zhang Fei's crotch. Zhang Fei was in a hurry, and hurriedly returned his hand to separate this trick and saved his beloved horse's life.

"Shameless!" Zhang Fei shouted angrily, but saw that Zhang Xiu was already about to turn his horse's head and run away, at this moment he heard an angry roar, and looked down, but it was Pei Yuanshao, the commander of the infantry army, holding a big knife, and slashing at the front leg of Zhang Xiu's mount with all his might.

With a mournful roar, the horse's leg was cut off by Pei Yuanshao. The news of the present world came quickly, Zhang Xiu wanted to calculate Zhang Fei's mount, but Pei Yuanshao secretly calculated himself. With Zhang Fei's surname, he originally disdained to plot like this, but today Zhang Xiu is shameless in front, and it doesn't matter if Pei Yuanshao is in the back. In fact, with Pei Yuanshao's martial arts, he couldn't catch Zhang Xiu's five moves in one-on-one combat. But this conspiracy made Zhang Xiu a big heel.

"Bastard!" Zhang Xiu, who fell off the horse, was about to solve Pei Yuanshao, but he was caught up in a vicious wind behind him, and he hurriedly dodged a step too late.

"Ahh With a scream, Zhang Xiu was pierced through the shoulder blade from behind by Zhang Fei's Zhangba snake spear, and then Pei Yuanshao's big knife was cut off from the front, and Zhang Xiu's head flew into the sky. "General, do you want to chase Cao Ren?" Wiping a handful of blood from his face, Pei Yuanshao asked.

"Chase, chase to Liang County, if you can kill one more, it's one!" Zhang Fei said viciously, and then drove forward to pursue, and Pei Yuanshao hurriedly assembled a team to follow. As soon as Zhang Xiu died, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under his command was naturally defeated, and Ji Ling and others had already gone to pursue, and finally Cao Ren and Zhang Jaw led most of the people to flee back to Liang County, but they still asked Zhang Fei to bite hard, leaving about 20,000 people, of which 8,000 were killed.

In the twelfth year of Jian'an, at the end of the summer of 207 AD, Liu Bei and Cao Ying fought a decisive battle in Yuzhou. Liu Bei saw through Cao Ying's plan to surrender, and concentrated his superior forces on the plan, defeated Cao Ying and Cao Ren successively, and besieged the former in Xuchang.
