Since Zhao Yun led his army to raid Jiangyi, Yuan Shao's deployment of troops in Hedong was mainly to defend against Zhao Yun's attack, which involved a large number of troops, such as the troops led by Liyi and Yan Liang, who could only stay north of Baibo Valley and east of Longmen Mountain.

The strategist Xu You suggested that Yuan Shao temporarily abandon Hedong, concentrate his main forces and retreat to Shangjun, and then attack Li Wei's territory Zuo Feng Yi from Shangjun. Although Yuan Shao was reluctant to accept the salt pond in Hedong, he also knew the principle of retreating as advance, if he continued to confront Zhao Yun in Hedong, then it was very likely that he would miss a great opportunity to enter the main pass. After weighing the pros and cons, Yuan Shao finally adopted Xu You's suggestion and withdrew from Anyi to Fenyin, and at the same time ordered Yan Liang, who was stationed in the area of Longmen Mountain, to cross the Yellow River from Caisangjin to the west, and then detour to the west of Xiayang to attack Xiayang.

Hedong County got its name because it is east of the Yellow River, and the place where the Yellow River is bent in the shape of "several" is the natural boundary between Zuo Fengyi and Hedong County. Xiayang is located in the northeast of Zuo Fengyi, facing Fenyin across the Yellow River from Hedong.

Since Yuan Shao mobilized a large army to attack Hedong, in order to prevent Yuan Shao, Li Dao stationed troops in Qiyuan, Suyi and Xiayang respectively to defend, so as to naturally disperse the available forces in his hands. In order to deal with Lu Bu in Chang'an, Li Dao had no choice but to play a bitter trick with Guo Yan first when he could not draw troops from Qiyuan, Suyi and Xiayang, and deceived some of Lu Bu's soldiers and horses out of Chang'an City.

Although Li Dao successfully deceived Lü Bu and successfully occupied Chang'an City, he did not annihilate all of Lü Bu's troops, which led to the situation that Lü Bu relied on Lishan to defend later. Now Li Dao and Guo Yan are eager to snatch back the Son of Heaven from Lu Bu, so they have no time to pay attention to the situation north of Zuo Fengyi, which just gives Yuan Shaoke an opportunity.

However, it was said that after Yan Liang received Yuan Shao's order, he didn't say a word, and led his troops to Cai Sangjin. For Yan Liang, as long as he can avoid the nemesis Zhao Yun, he can run as far as he can.

Yan Liang's troops withdrew from Longmen Mountain shortly after. Zhao Yun, who was stationed in Jiangyi, received the news. Prior to this, Zhao Yun had already received a handwritten letter from Liu He from Jicheng. Zhao Yun fully understood and agreed with the opinion discussed by the Command that it was not appropriate to force Yuan Shao too tightly for the time being, and he also felt that it was not the time to launch a full-scale attack on Yuan Shao. Yan Liang's troops suddenly moved, and they were not coming towards Jiangyi, which made Zhao Yun realize that something was wrong, in order to find out Yuan Shao's true intentions, Zhao Yun immediately sent a large number of meticulous works to spy on Xiangling, Longmen Mountain and Anyi and other places at the same time.

When Yan Liang's troops began to cross the river from Caisangjin, Yuan Shao, who was stationed in Anyi, also moved. He first sent a small force of troops and horses, led by the deputy general Zhu Ling, to quickly enter Fenyin, and then collected boats and boats in the Fenyin River section, and put on a posture of forcibly crossing the Yellow River to attack Xiayang. Seeing that the Yuan army on the other side of the river was constantly moving day and night, the Xia Yang defenders naturally thought that the Yuan army was going to cross the river from nearby, so they focused their defense on the side of the river.

After Yan Liang's troops quickly crossed the Yellow River, they rushed to Xiayang City as fast as they could, and by this time Yuan Shao had forcibly recruited tens of thousands of people from near Anyi to help him transfer the large amount of wealth and grain hoarded in the city. Although Yuan Shao occupied Anyi for more than a year. But he also scavenged all the fat and ointment of the people within a hundred miles of the vicinity. When Duan Xuan was stationed in Anyi, he recuperated with the people, and the life of the people in Hedong was quite good, especially the counties near Yanchi were very rich, but Yuan Shao was cheapened in vain.

The Xia Yang defenders were no more than a few thousand. In addition, the main direction of the defense was placed on the east side of the river, and when Yan Liang led 20,000 soldiers and horses to kill, there was no time to redeploy, so it was broken by Yan Liang within half a day. Thousands of soldiers in the city were rewound and taken prisoner.

After Yan Liang took Xiayang, only a few soldiers and horses were left to meet the Zhu Lingbu of Fenyin, east of the river, to cross the river, and he himself led the main force to attack Suyi in the upper reaches of Luoshui. Prevent Zhu Jun's troops stationed in Suyi from attacking Xiayang.

A few days later, Yuan Shao led a large army to Fenyin, and soon crossed the Yellow River with Zhu Ling's response and entered Xiayang City.

Zhao Yun, who was paying close attention to the movements of Yuan Shao's army, guessed Yuan Shao's intentions after learning the news that Yuan Shao had crossed to the west from Fenyin, and in order to let Yuan Shao fight with the Guanzhong forces with peace of mind, Zhao Yun made a decision that Yuan Shao never expected.

Zhao Yun withdrew his troops from Jiangyi, and it was a very clean and thorough withdrawal. Without leaving a single soldier, all of them withdrew from Yiguan to Hanoi!

If it were someone else, seeing that Yuan Shao's troops were all retreating westward, he would definitely seize the opportunity to seize the favorable terrain in the east of the river, and the fertile places like Anyi and Yanchi would definitely be in the bag. But Zhao Yun is different, his eyes are not confined to one city and one place, no matter whether Yuan Shao really wants to go to Guanzhong to fight, or deliberately expose flaws in order to disperse Zhao Yun's forces in Jiangyi, Zhao Yun will not take advantage of Yuan Shao's withdrawal to seize Anyi.

Prior to this, in order to guard against Zhao Yun, Yuan Shao deployed 20,000 people from the Liyi Department at Xiangling in the north of Jiangyi, 20,000 people from the Yanliang Department near Longhu Mountain in the west of Jiangyi, and 20,000 people from Anyi in the south of Jiangyi. If Yuan Shao set up a situation for Zhao Yun this time and deliberately gave up the important city of Anyi, Zhao Yun divided his troops to Anyi, and then Liyi, who had been inactive near Xiangling, might immediately send troops to attack Jiangyi.

Zhao Yun was not only not interested in the Anyi let out by Yuan Shao, but withdrew to Hanoi, which made Yuan Shao and several strategists in front of his tent a little confused. Tian Feng is good at using yang schemes, he probably understands Zhao Yun's intentions, but he is not good at telling Yuan Shao that this is Zhao Yun's yang scheme, the purpose is to make Yuan Shao let go of all scruples and use his greatest strength to fight with various warlords in Guanzhong.

The biggest feature of Yangmou is that you know that your opponent is calculating you, but you still have to do things according to your opponent's ideas. is like the situation Yuan Shao is facing now, even if he clearly knows that Liu He wants to take over his hand to weaken the strength of various warlords in Guanzhong, but in order to survive, Yuan Shao has to grab territory with Li Dao and Guo Yan.

Yuan Shao can't help it, he has never wanted to be used as a gunman, especially by Liu He, who he hates, but he can't beat Liu He, no matter how he calculates, it is always himself who suffers every time. If he didn't take advantage of Liu He's time before he moved south, Guanzhong would be waiting for Yuan Shao only by jumping into the Yellow River.

In order to test Zhao Yun, Yuan Shao gave an order to Liyi, who was stationed in Xiangling, and asked him to send a part of his troops and horses to Jiangyi. At this time, Lu Yi was also puzzled by Zhao Yun's sudden withdrawal to Hanoi, so he sent 3,000 soldiers and horses to Jiangyi through Baibo Valley, but the road was safe and sound, and he was stationed in Jiangyi very smoothly.

After repeated trials, Yuan Shao determined that Zhao Yun had withdrawn to Hanoi without deception, so he ordered Ko Yi to lead all his troops and horses into Jiangyi, and immediately build a pass at the western exit of Yiguan, completely blocking the road from Hanoi to Hedong.

Without the huge threat of Zhao Yun, Yuan Shao was more confident in attacking Li Dao, and he sent someone to sneak to Lishan to deliver a letter to Lu Bu, asking Lu Bu to prepare for a counterattack, and once Li Dao returned to Chang'an, he would pursue Li Dao with his tail.

Lu Bu has been trapped in Lishan for many days, seeing that the grain and grass are exhausted, and he has reached the embarrassing situation of killing horses to survive, if Yuan Shao does not send someone to contact him, he is ready to use the Son of Heaven as a bargaining chip to exchange food with Li Dao. Now that he had strong reinforcements, Lu Bu was very determined, so he encouraged his soldiers to cheer up and continue to confront Li Dao and Guo Yan near Lishan, waiting for the situation to reverse.

At the foot of Li Mountain, in Li Wei's camp, several fast horses galloped from the west, leaving a puff of yellow dust behind them.

"General Qiyu, Qiyuan guard Li Jin sent an urgent report, Hedong Yuan Shao led a heavy army to invade the territory, and has now captured the two cities of Xiayang and Suyi, the north and south of Qiyuan are under attack at the same time, and reinforcements are urgently needed!"

Li Wei received an urgent report from Qi Yuan asking for help, and immediately frowned tightly. "This Yuan Benchu is really hateful! The agreed well water does not violate the river water, but this time it did not declare war and forced Chang'an. ”

Jia Xu persuaded Li Dao: "Childish and angry, Yuan Shao led the army into Guanzhong at this time, and the plan is very big, and it must not be taken lightly." ”

Li Dao sighed and said: "I also know that Yuan Shao has sufficient troops, this time he entered the Guanzhong, I am afraid that he will not be able to do well, and now that Lu Bu has not surrendered, there is another Yuan Shao to disrupt the situation, it is really embarrassing!" ”

Jia Xu thought for a moment and suggested to Li Wei: "Now that the situation is urgent, I still need to make a decision early. In my opinion, it can be so ......"

A few days later, Li Dao and Guo Wei retreated in panic, with Guo Wei retreating to Chang'an, and Li Dao heading directly north, as if to rescue Zuo Fengyi.

Seeing that Li Guo was withdrawing at the same time and leaving in a hurry, Lü Bu sent troops out of the camp to pursue him according to Yuan Shao's request. Seeing this, Sima Yi hurriedly stopped Lü Bu, pointing out that Li Dao was most likely pretending to retreat, with the purpose of luring Lü Bu's troops out of the camp and fighting Lü Bu in the field. Lü Bu did not listen to Sima Yi's dissuasion, and sent Cheng Lian and Xue Lan to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to pursue Li Dao, but the two pursued to the west for less than 30 miles before being hit back by Li Dao, Cheng Lian died on the spot, Xue Lan fled back with injuries, and encountered Guo Yan's ambush again, and was killed under Lishan Mountain.

After Li Dao and Guo Yan ate 10,000 soldiers and horses of Lu Bu, they immediately attacked Lu Bu's camp with all their might, and Lu Bu, who was already unable to resist, left Zhang Liao and Wei Xuan, and he himself and Huangfu Jianshou escorted the Son of Heaven and his ministers to flee eastward.

Wei Xu was a soft egg, frightened by the army of Li Dao and Guo Yan under the mountain, and he quietly followed with dozens of guards shortly after Lü Bu left, leaving Zhang Liao alone. Zhang Liao was an out-and-out ruthless man, after learning that Wei Xu had fled, he resolutely led less than 3,000 men and horses to stop Li Dao and Guo Yan in front of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and simply stopped Li Guo's tens of thousands of troops.

Seeing that Zhang Liao was fighting so hard that there were only a few hundred soldiers left, Li Dao suddenly received an urgent military report from Chang'an, and at this time, he didn't care about pursuing Lu Bu anymore, and hurriedly returned to Chang'an with Guo Yan.

Zhang Liao, who had been fighting for several days, looked at the Li Guo coalition army that was gradually moving away, and was so tired that he fell off his horse. (To be continued......)
