"Lord, the matter has come to this, it is inappropriate to stay, let's withdraw the army, right?" Guo Jia persuaded.

"Now there is nothing to say, I have to go back", although Cao Cao was unwilling, he had to accept Guo Jia's suggestion.

The army set off from camp and looked at Yanzhou.

"Liu Bei and Cao Cao have withdrawn, should we chase them?" Liu Xun asked.

"Cao Cao is well versed in the art of war, and this time the army will be withdrawn, there will inevitably be a broken army, let's chase it, and it is very likely that we will be ambushed by him", Jia Xu said.

"I have a good idea, this realm is a flat river, and the only place that can ambush soldiers and horses is Qingfeng Gorge", Pang Tong took over, "We might as well send light cavalry to the front of Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, and divide the army into three ways to chase, even if we are ambushed, the flying pigeon passes the book, and we know the enemy's location, and we can rescue it." ”

"Brother Shiyuan's method is deeply in line with my wishes", Liu Xun was overjoyed.

"Where is Xu Huang?"

"The end will be."

"Order you to lead five thousand elite horsemen, take the path to Qingfeng Gorge, and ambush over there", Liu Xun ordered.

Originally, he wanted Zhao Yun to go, but now that he knew that Zhao Yun was a woman, he changed his mind.

The shadow of the beautiful woman in Zhao's mansion lingered in his mind, and since he had the idea of taking Zhao Yun into the room, he didn't want his woman to take risks.

"Xu Huang has an order", Xu Huang led an army and went to Qingfeng Gorge to ambush.

"Where is Dian Wei?"

"The end will be."

"Order you to lead five thousand fine horsemen and chase Cao Cao non-stop", Liu Xun sent out the arrow.

"Dian Wei obeys."

Dian Wei went to himself.

"General Ben personally led the army to pursue Cao Cao, Jia Xu guarded the pass, and Pang Shiyuan was responsible for answering", Liu Xundao.

Xu Huang's 5,000 elite horsemen rushed through Qingfeng Gorge, looked back, and found that this mountain was very steep, with peaks and peaks, two mountains facing each other, and a road in the middle could pass people.

If you ambush people and horses on the mountains on both sides, as long as the enemy army enters the encirclement, it is really a life and death.

As far as the eye can see, scouts were sent up the mountain to reconnoitre, and they went several times in a row, but they did not come back.

There is no doubt that there are most Cao troops ambushed on the mountain.

If you rashly attack the mountain, you will inevitably suffer a lot of losses if you fall down the rocks on the mountain.

"The trees on this mountain are luxuriant, if you use fire attack, it will be difficult for the other party to hide", Xu Huang frowned, calculated in his heart, and immediately ordered, "Prepare rockets, release arrows to burn the mountain."

At the sound of an order, countless rockets spat tongues of fire and roared towards the mountain.

Those woods burned, crying dad and shouting mother's voice, endlessly, the ambush soldiers in the woods and grass were burned and fled in all directions, only hating dad and mother for having two legs, where do you dare to ambush on the mountains on both sides.

Xu Huang led the army to hold the intersection, and most of the Cao troops who tried to rush down were beheaded by him.

The remaining remnants of the army knew that it was not the way, and many fled on the way back.

didn't run away for long, and just hit Dian Wei's army.

Dian Wei wielded a double halberd, waved his army to kill, like a tiger into the flock, Cao Cao's defeated army did not have the slightest fighting spirit, half of them were killed, and the rest saw that the situation was not good, threw away their weapons, and knelt down to surrender.

Dian Wei's army passed through Qingfeng Gorge, joined forces with Xu Huang, and continued to pursue Cao Cao.

After a short time, he caught up with Cao Cao's rear army and attacked Cao's army fiercely.

Cao Cao's army was in chaos, and the men and horses trampled on each other, killing and wounding countless people.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cao Cao ordered: "The rear team becomes the front team, fight back to the death, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." ”

Drew his sword and personally beheaded a few generals who were greedy for life and afraid of death, stopped the rout, and waved his army to surround Xu Huang and Dian Wei's army.

If this continues, Cao Cao is likely to turn defeat into victory.

Just as he was proud, Liu Xun led the army to kill, and Cao Cao's army was in chaos.

Liu Xun and Zhao Yun were both rare tiger generals in the world, and the army led by them was even more elite, and Cao Cao couldn't resist the enemy under the full cover of the killing.

Seeing the reinforcements coming, Dian Wei and Xu Huang were in high spirits and led the army to rush back and forth.

The four tigers will join forces, looking at the world, who dares to take it lightly?

"Heaven will kill me, not a crime of war. Cangtian gave birth to Cao Cao, but also gave birth to Liu Xun", Cao Cao looked up to the sky and sighed, put his sword across his neck, and tried to kill himself.

"Lord, don't do this, Xu Chu will protect the lord and retreat", Xu Chu snatched Cao Cao's sword and retreated with Cao Cao.

Cao Cao actually didn't want to die, but he failed repeatedly, and he was ashamed, so he just took responsibility by killing himself.

At that moment, borrow the slope and get off the donkey, and put away the sword.

Xiahoudun and others commanded the soldiers to fight to the death to protect Cao Cao's retreat.

In a fierce battle, Cao Cao's strength was greatly damaged.

Liu Xun waved his army and chased for ten miles before Mingjin withdrew his troops and returned with victory.

"Fengxiao, this expedition to Luoyang returned in vain. And the loss of the army, think about it carefully, I am really unwilling", Cao Cao gathered the defeated soldiers, learned from the pain, and regretted it a little.

"The lord doesn't have to be anxious, this time we could have fought with Liu Xun. It's all strange, it's just that Liu Bei's big-eared thief is treacherous and fled without a fight, putting us in danger", Guo Jia puffed up and said, "We currently have the land of Yanzhou, and there is still a chance to make a comeback." ”

"Liu Bei, that big-eared thief, dares to be treacherous, this time when I go back, I must teach him a lesson", Cao Cao mentioned Liu Bei, and he was angry.

"No, Liu Bei now owns the land of Yuzhou, Wen Youliang is resourceful, Wu Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are unstoppable, and I can't turn my face with him now", Guo Jia calmly advised.

"Actually, I don't know these truths that Feng Xiao said? Although Liu Xun is powerful, he is still a little beyond the reach of the whip for the time being, our biggest enemy at the moment should be Yuan Shao, he already has two states, if he sits further bigger, the threat to us will be great", Cao Cao sighed and gradually calmed down.

"I can't plot against Yuan Shao now, let's go back this time, it's best to pretend to go to visit Xuzhou Taishou Tao Qian, take advantage of his unpreparedness, and take Xuzhou", Guo Jia is worthy of a ghost, and he has a bad stomach.

"Good plan, Feng Xiao's words are exactly what I want", Cao Cao and Guo Jia looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

Half a month later, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses came to Xuzhou outside the city and sent Yang Xiu to see Tao Qian, saying that he was leading the troops to pursue the Taishan thieves, passing through Xuzhou, and came to meet Lord Taishou.

"Cao Mengde was a hero in the world, assassinated Dong Zhuo back then, and his loyalty was unparalleled. I have always admired, since I came to visit, please enter Xuzhou, and let Tao do his best to be a landlord", Tao Qian did not suspect that there was fraud, and said with a smile.

"When I was in Yanzhou, I often heard the lord say that Xuzhou Prefecture was a famous man in the world. When I saw it today, it really deserved its name", Yang Xiu flattered.

"Where, where! It's just a little false name, the word 'celebrity and scholar', I really don't dare to be it", Tao Qian's mouth was humble, but his heart was happy.

After sending Yang Xiu away, the more Tao Qian thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he always felt that something was wrong.

In this troubled world, he can sit in the position of Taishou, although he has no great talent, he is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Someone is coming, Chen Deng is here", Tao Qian was uneasy, remembered his confidant Chen Deng, and decided to summon him over to discuss.

"Now, Cao Cao's army is chasing the Taishan thieves, passing by Xuzhou, and wants to come in and sit, according to Yuanlong's opinion, how should we deal with it?" Tao Qian asked.

"Cao Cao, who looks at the wolf and looks at the wolf, is really a traitor in troubled times, and he must not be let into Xuzhou", Chen Deng said, "The lord should send someone to guard the city gate, and don't fall for Cao Cao's false tricks." ”

"The lord must have forgotten the story of Han Fu and Yuan Shao," Chen Deng further added.

Everyone knew about this at that time, how could Tao Qian not know.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Han Fu served as the pastor of Jizhou.

Yuan Shao secretly linked up with Gongsun Zan to attack Jizhou, but on the surface, he pretended to be enthusiastic and willing to help Han Fu defend against foreign enemies.

As a result, Han Fu was occupied by Yuan Shaoque's nest dove, and his head was different.

Tao Qian was not too stupid after all, he immediately realized that he was shocked into a cold sweat, and said with palpitations: "If it weren't for Yuanlong's reminder, I would have almost fallen into the way of Cao Cao, a traitorous male." ”

"Cao Bao listened to the order, and immediately sent more people to inspect the city, and Cao Bing was not allowed to enter the city."

"Cao Bao obeyed".

Chen Deng left Taofu and returned home, talking about discussing with Tao Qian.

"Why are you so stupid, Tao Qian is a thief, in this troubled world, sooner or later he will be destroyed, maybe this time he will be destroyed by Cao Cao."

"My son helped Tao Qian and offended Cao Cao, and when the city is broken, our Xu family's century-old foundation will be ruined", the old father paused.

"Father's words are serious, the child did this, just considering that our Chen family is a big family, in order to protect our family interests", Chen Deng said unhurriedly.

"The more you talk, the more confused you become for your father, what's going on?"

"The child wants to instigate Tao Qian to resist Cao Cao first, and then I will secretly contact Cao Cao and express my willingness to help him take the city, so that after Cao Cao captures the city, our family's position can not only be preserved, but also expand our power", Chen Deng put on a scheming look.

"Yes, this strategy is very clever, and the old man is dying."

Chen Deng's father and son conspired at home, and Cao Cao waited for Tao Qian to open the door for a long time, but what he was waiting for was the random arrow shot by Cao Bao on the top of the city.

"Tao Qian, dare to trick me and attack the city for me", Cao Cao had to make a halberd and jump like thunder.

Cao Bao commanded the military horses to counterattack, although the Xuzhou military horses were not very strong, but the city was high and deep, and it was difficult to capture it in a hurry.

Seeing it from the city, Cao Bao aimed at Cao Cao and shot Cao Cao's helmet with an arrow.

Cao Cao pointed at Cao Bao and said hatefully: "Piff, wait for me to defeat Xuzhou, and see if I will break your body into ten thousand pieces." ”

At the beginning of the night, Chen Deng shot the letter to Cao Ying.

After the soldier picked up the letter, he reported it back to Cao Cao.

"Chen Deng's letter, the letter said that he was willing to cooperate with the outside and help us to conquer the city, on the condition that after the city was broken, the Chen family should be given preferential treatment and let them become the first family in Xuzhou", Cao Cao showed the letter to Guo Jia, wanting to listen to his opinion.

"The army will attack the city and create an opportunity for Chen Deng, even if the other party is cheating, we will plan and take Xuzhou by chance", Guo Jia's answer gave Cao Cao a reassurance.

"Okay, that's it."

"Send the order down and give me an intensified attack", Cao Cao was ruthless, "Take turns to fight, so that the city can't rest." ”

Cao Jun attacked several rounds, and Cao Bao was extremely tired.

Chen Deng took his family to the city tower, Cao Bao did not doubt him, and said happily: "Chen Deng, you came just in time, come and help me defend the city." ”

"I'm here to help you, just take a break", Chen Deng said in his words.

Cao Bao was extremely tired, and he knew that Chen Deng was Tao Qian's cronies, so he leaned towards the city tower and took a nap.

In a daze, he felt that something was wrong, and he saw that he was tied up with five flowers, and Chen Deng had a cruel smile on his face, obviously with bad intentions.
