At the same time when the Xuzhou army rushed into the east gate of Dingtao, the servant of Fu Wan, who disguised himself as a soldier of the Cao army, also encountered the first patrol of Yuan Shaojun's team, and explained his identity and intention to the Yuan Shaojun patrol guard, Yuan Jun's sergeant did not dare to have the slightest neglect, and quickly escorted the servant back to the camp and reported the situation to his boss.

Coincidentally, the general of the Yuan army on duty tonight in the main camp happened to be Yuan Tan Gongzi, who had been in the limelight recently, and learned that the queen's father Fu Wan sent people out of the city to send books, Yuan Tan Gongzi also immediately realized that there would be happy events falling from the sky, under the great joy, Yuan Tan hurriedly asked to see his father overnight, and dragged Yuan Sangong from the bed.

The next thing is too simple, seeing Fu Wan's handwritten letter, Yuan Sangong, who was stubbornly resisting Cao Jun's stubborn resistance and was difficult to break quickly, was immediately overjoyed, and immediately applauded and smiled: "God help me destroy Cao, God help me destroy Cao, there is Emperor Fu to help me take Xuchang City, end up Cao thief's lair, and destroy Cao is as easy as a counterhand." ”

"Father, Cao thieves are deceitful, and you need to be cautious." Yuan Tan made some mocking suggestions: "Among our army, there are many small works that have entered Xuchang City or lurked in Xuchang City, so my father might as well pass on a few such fine works to carefully identify the identity of this messenger and see if this messenger is really Emperor Fu's family, so as to prevent fraud." ”

"What I say is reasonable." Da Yuan Sangong was also afraid that his young friend Cao Boss would cheat again, so he hurriedly arranged for the guards to find such a detailed work, and said to the Fu Wan family: "You can rest assured, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that Cao Thief is too deceitful, such a big thing, I must be cautious, if it is carefully identified by our army, it is proved that you are indeed the family of Emperor Fu, and I will reward you." ”

Cao Jun, who was placed in the house of Xun Yu, snickered in his stomach, but respectfully agreed, expressing his understanding of the caution of the third prince of Da Yuan, and also expressing his willingness to accept any identification. The third prince of Da Yuan was overjoyed again, and it was rare to praise his eldest son vigorously: "Tan Er has made great progress recently, and he is very satisfied with his father, so he will continue to keep it up, and he will share his worries mostly for his father." Yuan Tan Gongzi couldn't stop laughing when he heard it, and quickly thanked him again and again.

It didn't take much time to identify the identity of the Fu Wan family, because when the Third Duke of Yuan sent people to pay tribute to the Han Emperor, there was an envoy who had also been to Fu Wan's house, and he happened to see this Fu Wan family, and this envoy also happened to be in the Jizhou army, so he quickly proved the identity of the Fu Wan family. The third prince of Da Yuan was immediately overjoyed, and immediately rewarded the Fu Wan family, and ordered him to return to Xuchang as soon as possible to order Fu Wan to follow the plan, and immediately decided to send troops to attack Xuchang City on the night of the next day, and eliminate Cao Lao's nest and granary in one fell swoop.

In order to keep it secret, and in order to surprise his subordinates to prove his wisdom and martial arts, the Great Yuan Sangong followed the advice of his eldest son Yuan Tan, and deliberately did not immediately announce the good news the next day, nor did he lead the army south to attack the Cao army camp again, just let the army seize the time to rest, and then secretly prepare to steal the city, until the beginning of the evening, the Great Yuan Sangong raised the account to point the troops, announced the good news that he had finished contacting the ministers of the court and voluntarily acted as the internal response, and then announced that he would personally lead 15,000 elite soldiers, with the general Wen Chou as the vanguard, Go and attack Xuchang Jiancheng.

Hearing the decision of the third prince of Da Yuan, the two greedy people who were afraid of death were of course shocked, and hurriedly jumped out to dissuade them, and persuaded them: "The lord should also be cautious, Cao thieves are treacherous, and there are countless people with far-reaching wisdom and resourcefulness among his subordinates. ”

"Lord, don't be in danger!" Cui Yan also objected: "Cao thief is scheming, he likes to use fraud the most, the lord only relies on a letter to go to the dangerous place, if it is Cao thief's plan, wouldn't the lord fall into the den of the tiger and wolf?" ”

There are also several Jizhou civil and military officers who agree with the views of Fu Zhu and Cui Yan, and oppose the risk of Da Yuan Sangong, but Da Yuan Sangong waved his hand and said: "Everyone rest assured, I have sent someone to carefully identify the identity of the messenger, and it is indeed true that the family is ambushed, and it is not Cao Thief who sent someone to deceive." In the previous battle of Guandu, Cao Thief personally led 5,000 light horsemen to break my black nest, and this time Xuchang is a decisive battle, I will also personally lead the army to attack Xuchang, and I will be ashamed of it! ”

Seeing that the third prince of the great Yuan was stubborn, Cui Yan was helpless, so he had to quickly say again: "If the lord insists on attacking Xuchang, his subordinates dare not object, but also ask the lord not to take risks in person, and send a general to act according to the plan. ”

"Nonsense!" Da Yuan Sangong said angrily: "The main force of the Cao thief is stationed outside the east gate of Xuchang, which is close to the city of Xuchang. Sneak attack on Xuchang, I don't want to go, who is willing to move forward? Who is willing to sacrifice his life to fight hard, one is ten?! ”

After retiring Cui Yan, Da Yuan Sangong slapped the case in front of him again, and shouted: "I have made up my mind, everyone has to persuade again!" After I left, the camp was guarded by Yuan Tan and Guo Tu, Ma Yan, Han Ding, Han Meng, Lu Kuang, and the four of you each led 3,000 soldiers and horses to ambush the camp around the camp. Shang'er, Xi'er, the two of you led a total of 20,000 elite soldiers to respond, and as soon as you saw the fire in the direction of Xuchang, you immediately sent troops to Xuchang to respond! ”

Hearing that the Great Yuan Sangong was arranged in such detail, Yuan Junzhong also knew that the Great Yuan Sangong had been planning for this matter for a long time, and they didn't dare to persuade it again, so they had to hug their fists together and sing their promises, and each took the order with their own thoughts. However, Guo Tu and Xin Bi, the two sworn friends of Yuan Tan Gongzi, were heartbroken, and secretly said together: "The lord arranges it like this, if that situation really happens, it will be a rare opportunity for the eldest prince." ”

After making these self-righteous foolproof arrangements, just over halfway through the first shift, the great Yuan Sangong, who was eager to take revenge and prove his invincibility, couldn't wait to lead the army to attack, and Cui Yan knew that they could not be dissuaded, and after a hasty discussion, they decided to let Cui Yan stay in the camp just in case, and the frustration ran to the front of the big Yuan Sangong and begged to go with the army, and went to the scene to give advice to the big Yuan Sangong.

People chew horse sets, even the horse's hooves are carefully wrapped in linen, all the way carefully touch the north gate of Xuchang under the city, the time is close to the third watch, see that there are not many lights and flags on the city, and there are not many Cao soldiers patrolling back and forth, the third prince of the Great Yuan is full of joy to order the army to lie in the dark, ready to attack at any time, the frustration that is against this adventure is more and more in his heart, there is always an ominous premonition. For the sake of prudence, Fu Zhi suggested in front of the Great Yuan Sangong: "My lord, Your Majesty suggests that it is best to send some light cavalry to search the left and right flanks of our army like the Cangting last time, so as to prevent Cao thieves from ambushing the soldiers. ”

"Fart!" Da Yuan Sangong scolded a swear word with great grace, and said angrily in a low voice: "Our army is here to sneak attack the city, not to pursue the defeated soldiers of Cao Thief, send soldiers to search around, what if the whereabouts are exposed?" You are still a strategist, don't you understand such a simple truth? ”

Frustrated and reluctantly retreated, and prayed secretly: "Heaven bless, I hope that the letter is really written by Emperor Fu himself, and the matter of connecting the ministers of the court and the central government to meet our army is not a trap arranged by Cao Thief." ”

With bated breath and patient waiting, the bangzi of the third watch finally rang, and almost at the same time as the bangzi rang at the head of the city, the city of Xuchang suddenly burst into flames, shouting and killing like thunder, and the big Yuan Sangong, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, also jumped up, and shouted without exposing himself: "Emperor Fu has done it!" Get on your horse and prepare torches, ladders, and firestarters! Command Wen Chou in front of him, as soon as the city gate is opened, immediately kill me into the city! ”

The heralds who had already mounted their horses and stood by shouted their promises, and immediately rushed down to give orders, ordering each team to get on their horses and prepare weapons and torches, while the other person galloped to the Wenchou team lurking two hundred steps away from the north gate of Xuchang, conveying the order that the whole army would enter the city immediately after the city gate was opened. Frustrated Zhu was also excited, and couldn't help but look left and right, for fear that Cao Jun would suddenly ambush him.

The shouting of killing quickly approached, and there were also shouts of killing and the sound of swords and guns colliding on the city wall, and in the chaos of torches, the drawbridge suddenly fell to the ground, making a loud noise, and the closed city gate also opened quickly, revealing more chaotic torches and shaking figures in the urn city. Seeing this scene, of course, the big Yuan Sangong applauded, and Wen Chou did not hesitate to charge the horse, the first to rush onto the suspension bridge, and the first to rush into the urn city at the north gate of Xuchang.

"Xuchang City is broken! Cao thief is broken! Da Yuan Sangong looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, dancing and yelling, "Kill!" Inside the city! Break the city! Po Cao ——! ”

"Heaven bless, it turns out that it's really not a trick of the thief!" Frustrated with his hands folded, bowing to the sky, glad that the army finally did not step into the trap of Boss Cao, and the third prince of Da Yuan finally won the gamble!

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Suddenly, two loud noises came one after another, interrupting the worship of the frustrated professor, and also interrupting the yelling of the dancing hands of the three princes of the Great Yuan, and then there was also an exclamation in the urn city that made the three princes of the Great Yuan and the three princes of the frustration scatter together, "It's a trick!" We've been tricked!! ”

It was indeed a plan, when Wen Chou's team was about to rush through the urn city and enter the Xuchang city, on the top of the entrances and exits on both sides of the urn city, two thousand catties of iron gates suddenly fell, not only smashed many Yuan soldiers who had no time to dodge, and broke their tendons, but also cut off the front and rear roads of Wen Chou's team at once, and trapped Wen Chou, the first fierce general under the current command of Yuan Sangong, and a large number of elite cavalry of Yuan Shaojun in the urn city. Pulling the bow and arrows to the urn city desperately release the arrows, General Wen Chou didn't even see what the enemy looked like, he had been hit by two sharp arrows in front of the door and the vest, Wen Chou couldn't bear to break through again, and there were countless sheep's head stones flying down, and the feather arrows were pouring like rain, and the poor generation of Hebei famous generals died tragically under the arrow stones with his hundreds of elites.

"Kill————!"

At the same time, outside the city of Xuchang, the darkness on the two wings of the Yuan army finally sounded the fierce shouting and killing that he was most worried about, and countless Cao soldiers rushed in with torches, and the injured Yuan Shaojun had no fighting spirit, and the great Yuan Sangong himself didn't even care about Wen Chou's life or death, and directly turned his horse's head and yelled, "It's a plan, withdraw quickly!" Yuan's team also scrambled to flee for their lives, and the team was in chaos.

A new shout of killing came, and on the way, I don't know when a Cao army soldier and horse appeared, the torch shining in the golden helmet and red robe, three-petaled lips, holding the sword of the sky and laughing at the sky, "Originally, you fell for my plan again!" If you are smart, quickly dismount and surrender, for the sake of the old friendship, I promise to spare you from death! ”

"Cao! Pander to! Concealment ————! The red-eyed Da Yuan Sangong shouted out the identity of the slut on the other side word by word, and then roared wildly: "Who killed Cao Apu with me?" Kill this thief, and I will make him a state assassin! ”

Several Yuan generals rushed to Cao Boss, but they were greeted by Dian Wei and Xiahou Yuan, two Cao army generals, who had not yet met head-on, Dian Wei had already thrown a short halberd, and stabbed to death the Yuan army generals who rushed to the front, and the remaining Yuan army generals were shocked, Dian Wei and Xiahou Yuan had already rushed to the ground, the halberd slashed the gun, three times five divided by two and killed three Yuan army generals, the rest of the Yuan army generals were shocked, and they turned around and fled together, Dian Wei and Xiahou Yuan chased after each other, and directly killed the big Yuan Sangong, Frightened, Yuan Sangong hugged his head and fled to the depths of the chaotic army, shouting and screaming, and Yuan Shaojun's team suddenly became even more chaotic.

"Chase!" Fighters are rare, and Boss Cao is also chasing after him, personally wielding his sword to kill Sergeant Yuan, and also offering a peerless reward, "Whoever captures Yuan Shao is the lord of Jizhou!" ”

In the hysterical roar of Cao Boss, the excited shouting of the Cao army team, the Cao army ambush soldiers quickly surrounded the Yuan Shaojun team on three sides, and after annihilating the Yuan soldiers in the urn city, Ren Jun, who guarded Xuchang, also ordered people to re-hang the two iron gates, personally led an army out of the city, surrounded the Yuan army on all sides, Yuan Shaojun was completely defeated, the generals and soldiers rushed for their lives, and were driven by the Cao army like a group of frightened lambs, and they couldn't find a way out when they rushed left and right, and trampled on each other in the melee, there were many dead, and the Cao army struggled to kill the enemy, The slogan of killing Yuan Shaojun all over the field, bleeding like a canal, and capturing the big Yuan Sangong alive also echoed endlessly on the battlefield............ "Capture Yuan Shao alive!" Whoever holds Yuan Shao is the lord of Jizhou————!! ”

……………… At the same time, seeing the fire in the direction of Xuchang, the two brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, who were waiting for the order at all times, also led 20,000 foot cavalry to rush to the direction of Xuchang to reinforce, but only walked more than ten miles out of the camp, and immediately two Cao troops rushed out left and right, Zhang Liao on the left and Cao Hong on the right, although the total strength was only more than 10,000 points, but they were all red-eyed and rushed to kill, just like two sharp swords, straight into the waist of Yuan Shaojun's team, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang's team was also suddenly in chaos, forced to stop and fight to meet the enemy, and could not go to the Xuchang battlefield for reinforcements. Seeing that the situation was not good, Yuan Xi, who was loyal and honest but calm and calm, hurriedly sent a fast horse back to the camp to report the news, asking Yuan Tan and Guo Tu, who stayed in the camp, to immediately send troops to meet the troops - to receive the team of the three dukes of Yuan on the battlefield of Xuchang.

Yuan Xi's messenger galloped back to the camp of the Yuan army, and reported the battle situation to Yuan Tan and Guo Tu and others who were waiting in the camp, and asked Yuan Tan and Guo Tu to immediately send troops to respond, Yuan Tan Gongzi was stupid and agreed, and was ready to give up the ambush and order the four-way ambush soldiers who were ambushed outside the camp to rush to the Xuchang battlefield to respond, but Guo Tu grabbed Yuan Tan Gongzi and said to the messenger: "You go down to rest first, how to send troops, wait for me to discuss with Gongzi a little." ”

The messenger sang the promise and left, and Yuan Tan Gongzi also asked Guo Tu suspiciously: "Gongzhi, since the team of the second brother and Yuan Shangpifu was ambushed, there must be danger on my father's side, why do you still discuss with me how to send troops?" ”

"Eldest Prince, didn't you find that this is a rare and good opportunity?" Guo Tu's expression was hideous, and he said slowly: "If Yuan Shangpifu encounters misfortune, the lord's side will also ......, and who will inherit the land of Hebei, You, He, and Qingzhou?!" ”

Yuan Tan Gongzi was startled at first, and then suddenly came to his senses, and there was a smile on the vulture's face, and he nodded and said: "What Mr. Gongze said is that Cao thief is resourceful, and he should be prevented from sneaking up on the camp, and the ambush soldiers can't move, so you can send Cen Bi to lead 8,000 battalions of soldiers and horses, and quickly rush to Xuchang City to meet my father." ”

When arranging for his henchman Cen Bi to lead the army to reinforce his father, Yuan Tan Gongzi deliberately said the word 'speed' very seriously, and the smile on his face was even bigger, and the same was true for Guo Tu. At this time, Cui Yan, who received the news, also hurried from outside the tent, and loudly asked Yuan Tan Gongzi to immediately use the four-way ambush troops that had been assembled in place and could go to battle at any time to rush to Xuchang for reinforcements, Yuan Tan Gongzi and Mr. Guo Tu used the excuse of being wary of Cao Jun taking the opportunity to rob the camp, and rejected Cui Yan's request, but only arranged for his henchman to temporarily assemble Cen Bi to rush to Xuchang for reinforcements.

……………… Finally, when Cen Bi assembled his team and rushed out of the camp to Xuchang to reinforce the Great Yuan Sangong, on the battlefield of Xuchang more than 20 miles away, the 15,000 troops brought by the Great Yuan Sangong had already been killed by the elite Cao army. - It is indeed the elite exhausted, in order to seize this last opportunity to turn defeat into victory, Boss Cao is even ready to give up the battalion, leaving only some old and weak wounded soldiers in the battalion to guard, Yuan Shaojun sent 3,000 soldiers over by the way, it is possible to kick Boss Cao's battalion away. However, Boss Cao also has the confidence to do so, even if he loses the big battalion, Boss Cao still has a foothold in Xuchang City, so the elite soldiers in the army who can still go to the battlefield, Boss Cao has brought them out without leaving any of them.

Under the cauldron and sinking the boat, the morale of the Cao army is naturally doubled, from Cao Boss himself to the ordinary soldiers are all sacrificing their lives to fight, bravely taking the lead, although the team brought by the big Yuan Sangong to Xuchang City is also regarded as the first-line soldiers in the Jizhou army team, but it still can't stop these Cao army soldiers who bet on their lives, one after another Yuan army team was broken down by Cao Jun and scattered, and one after another Yuan army soldiers were cut down by Cao Jun and turned over, torches on the battlefield were tumbling, people were surging, shouting and killing like thunder, Cao Jun team rushed like a stream, charging back and forth, The momentum is unstoppable, and the top and bottom of the Yuan army have no intention of fighting, and they are only looking for a way to break through, and there are fewer and fewer teams that can condense into a group and resist stubbornly.

Seeing that the situation was critical, he untied the package behind the saddle, took out the ordinary soldier's clothes that he had prepared for a rainy day, and then caught up with Da Yuan Sangong and handed it over, Da Yuan Sangong was furious when he saw it, and shouted: "What are you doing? What do you want? What do you do with soldier clothes for me?! ”

"Lord, please change your clothes." He said with a sad face: "Only in this way can you hope to fight your way out of the encirclement, and only in this way can you hope to return to the camp and regroup your troops and horses to take revenge." ”

"Nope! Never! The Third Duke of the Great Yuan yelled hysterically, "I, the Fourth Prince, the Third Duke of the Yuan Family, came to me, and I actually wanted to change into soldier clothes and flee for my life, what face will I have to see the ancestors and ancestors in the future?!" Take! Give me ...... right away. ”

"Be careful, lord!"

Before the roar of the Great Yuan Sangong was finished, Frustration had already pounced on Da Yuan Sangong, and then with a soft sound, a stray arrow also appeared on Frustration's vest - this stray arrow should have also hit the chest of Da Yuan Sangong. Da Yuan Sangong looked down in shock to see the situation of the frustration, but saw that the arrow had not entered the frustration vest, and he didn't know how deep it was, Da Yuan Sangong was even more shocked, and quickly picked up the frustration and asked about the injury, and the frustration expression was painful, but he handed the bloody military uniform in his hand to the big Yuan Sangong, and said with difficulty: "Lord, please change your clothes ......." ”

"Alas!" Da Yuan Sangong sighed helplessly and yelled: "Come on, quickly get off the horse with Mr." ”

Qin Sheng, the chief of the guard, led the guards to get off the war horse, and the third prince of Da Yuan himself also turned over and dismounted, and took advantage of the fact that Cao Bing had not yet killed the closer, and changed himself into the clothes of ordinary soldiers without saying a word, but just when the third prince of Da Yuan had just finished changing clothes, Qin Sheng got up in panic and shouted, "My lord, Mr. Gong and Mr. are dying." ”

"Gong and!" Da Yuan Sangong was shocked, and hurriedly went to hold Fu Zhu in person, but saw that a large amount of red blood foam had gushed out of Fu Zhu's mouth, and the person was also unconscious, Da Yuan Sangong had tears in his eyes, and he was busy shaking and shouting: "Gong He, Gong He, you wake up, you can't die!" I'm going to take you back! I will listen to you in the future, I promise you, I will listen to you in everything in the future! ”

It may be the shaking of the Great Yuan Sangong, or it is more likely to be the return of the frustrated teaching, when he was dying, the frustration finally woke up, his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, the Great Yuan Sangong hurriedly put his ears on it, but heard the frustration faintly said: "Lord, the minister is not good, the minister has no regrets, but there are two things, please remember the ......." ”

Da Yuan Sangong burst into tears like rain, nodded desperately, and his frustrated voice became weaker, "The first thing, abolishing the long and establishing the young is the way to take chaos, and I hope that the lord will not make him his heir because he loves Yuan Shanggongzi, and give outsiders a chance to take advantage of it." The eldest son, the eldest prince he ......, although he is narrow-minded, ......impulsive, impulsive and irritable, but he also has ...... and merits. ”

Speaking of this, Fu Zhu spun for a while, and almost fainted again, but in order to finish the second paragraph, Fu Zhu also held on for a while, and said: "The second thing, Xiao ......, be careful of Tao Ying, he ......, he is ......more dangerous than Cao Thief, ......, more ......, and terrible ............ than Cao Thief." The ministers ......, the ministers are afraid that you will rush to the ......, and you will be impulsive, ......, ......, and ............. ”

Before he finished speaking, his head tilted and he was already breathing. Da Yuan Sangong cried and shook the sky, holding the body of the frustrated and crying, "Gonghe, you died for me!" ”
