Li Ru did not return to Yanjing with Tian Feng, but stayed in Yecheng, Tian Feng has his duties, he must return to Yanjing to take charge of daily affairs, but Li Ru has Li Ru's duties, he has to monitor Cao Jun's every move, and provide accurate information for the Han army soldiers guarding Jizhou, because Li Ru knows very well that under the double trap of the civil official system and the beauty scheme, Cao Cao may be able to sink for a while, but it is absolutely impossible to let Cao Cao collapse from now on, Cao Cao will definitely regain his strength in the short term, Otherwise, he is not worthy of Cao Cao, and he is not worthy of being Ao Lie's lifelong rival.

Li Ru's prediction was not wrong, a few days after he arrived in Yecheng, the Shadow Members sent the news, Cao Cao killed Himiko, personally led an army of 300,000, and embarked on the journey to Jizhou, at the same time, Liu Ye, who was guarding Wei County, was also ready, and the whole county was fully loaded, waiting for the convergence with Cao Cao's army, and then needless to say, it must be and attack the two counties of Julu or Qinghe near Wei County, and strive to open up a battlefield in Jizhou Take advantage of the opportunity for Ao Lie to fight in Yizhou, and seize the entire Jizhou.

After receiving this news, Li Ru did not dare to slack off, and immediately told Xu Huang, Zhang He and Xu Shu who were guarding in Jizhou, and the three of them had already found out the news, but they did not have the detailed news that Li Ru had gotten, and immediately began to arrange defenses, and finally decided that Zhang He would guard Yecheng, Xu Huang and Xu Shu and Li Ru led the main force of Jizhou 150,000 Han troops, rushed to Julu and Qinghe, camped on the road, blocked the progress of Cao's army, and at the same time sent messengers to quickly inform Yanjing and Jizhou's closest merger, He asked his colleagues who stayed in Yanjing to quickly send reinforcements, and hoped that Guo Huai, the governor of the state, would lead his troops to help.

A few days later, Xu Huang arrived at the junction of Julu and Qinghe one step ahead of Cao Cao, and set up three large camps on the three main roads leading to the hinterland of Jizhou, Xu Huang personally led 50,000 Han troops to be stationed in the middle of the large camp, and Li Ru also stayed here to plan a perfect plan. Xu Shu and Shi Jian respectively led 50,000 Han troops to be stationed in the large camps on the left and right, and the three large camps were within a range of twenty miles, echoing each other from afar, like three roadblocks, blocking all the main passages to the interior of Jizhou.

Only two days after Xu Huang and others set up camp, Cao Cao's vanguard general Xiahoudun led 70,000 vanguard troops to arrive. It was hard to come here two days earlier than Xiahoudun's vanguard army and set up the defensive line.

Seeing the deployment of the Han army, Xiahoudun was also a battle-hardened general, and understood that the Han army was afraid that it had been prepared for a long time, and if it rashly launched an attack, maybe the Han army would occupy the advantage of waiting for work, but it would beat itself in a hurry, so Xiahoudun did not give the order to attack at the first time. Instead, he let his 70,000 vanguard troops and Xu Huang's camp be ten miles apart, set up camp, and sent light cavalry to patrol the four sentry posts, looking for the flaws of the Han army.

I came with Xiahoudun. There are also two generals who recently joined Cao Cao, Li Jin and Yue Xi, who have not been able to make any meritorious contributions since they joined the army because there was no war. On the contrary, they were treated favorably by Cao Cao, and both of them were eager to make meritorious contributions in their hearts, eager to fight a big battle. to prove that the two are worthy of Cao Cao's reward. After seeing the tight defense of the Han army, the two came to Xiahoudun's Chinese army tent to ask for battle, and asked Xiahoudun to approve them to lead their troops to launch a strong attack.

For the martial arts of these two people, Xiahoudun is very admired, but as a commander, Xiahoudun naturally will not easily agree to their request, and persuaded them with a few good words, temporarily dispelling the idea of them leading the army to launch a strong attack.

In the evening of the same day, the scouts sent by Xiahoudun returned to the camp and gave a general description of the deployment of the Han army, because the Han army was too heavily defended, and they could not obtain more detailed information, so the news they heard was only an approximation. But for Xiahoudun, this was enough. In Xiahoudun's view, Xu Huang, Zhang He and Xu Shu, this is a solid iron triangle, it is undoubtedly difficult to break the defense of this iron triangle, but, for the sake of safety, Zhang He actually stayed in Yecheng and did not come, instead of Zhang He Zhen guarding the left road, it was the deputy general Shi Lian, Shi Lian and his people, who were Liu Yu's old subordinates, and their ability to lead troops to fight was not bad, but compared to Zhang Helai, it was a world of difference, which formed the weakest link in the Iron Triangle, compared with the other two people, There is a huge gap in both tactical literacy and on-the-spot command, so Xiahoudun decided to use the left side of Shi Lian's defense as a breakthrough to defeat the iron triangle in front of the army in one fell swoop.

At nightfall, Xiahoudun led the main force to quietly touch the vicinity of Xu Huang's camp, and asked Li Jin and Yue Xi to lead an army of 20,000 people to the direction of Shi Huang's camp, preparing to attack the camp at the same time. In Xiahoudun's view, Xu Huang must not have imagined that he would launch a night attack regardless of fatigue after a day's journey, even if Xu Huang was prepared, it didn't matter, the main force on Xiahoudun's side was just a feint, his real intention was to use the courage and fighting spirit of Li Jin and Yue Xi to defeat Shi Lian on the left and open up a channel for the army to advance.

Tens of thousands of Cao soldiers wrapped their hooves and quietly came to the predetermined strategic position, Xiahoudun raised his head and glanced at Xu Huang's camp, and saw four teams of patrols shuttling back and forth in the camp, vigilantly scanning the surroundings, a group of orderly appearance. Lying down, Xiahoudun thought secretly for a while, and whispered to the soldiers around him: "Order the troops, rest in place, don't make any noise, and when the guards of the Han army are sleepy, we will launch an attack, send people to inform Li Jin and Yue Xi, the two generals, wait for the orders of the generals, and must not act rashly." ”

In the early hours of the morning, it was the most sleepy time for people, and Xiahoudun waited quietly outside Xu Huang's camp for more than an hour, and finally ushered in the best time to launch a night attack. In the Han military camp, the four teams of patrol posts that were originally in high spirits have also yawned for days, and the shuttle patrol posts back and forth are not as diligent as just now, so they have found a sheltered place and sat on the ground to rest.

With a sneer on the corner of his mouth, Xiahoudun raised his right hand and slashed towards the camp of the Han army! The tens of thousands of Cao troops who followed behind Xiahoudun immediately rushed to the camp of the Han army like a dark tide, and instantly broke through the fence of the camp of the Han army, shouting and killing into the camp of the Han army. The four teams of patrol posts of the Han army immediately jumped up from the ground, shouting for an enemy attack, and fled to the depths of the camp.

Xiahoudun was not interested in chasing those shrimp soldiers and crab generals, he took his personal guards and went straight to Xu Huang's Chinese army tent, preparing to take advantage of his unpreparedness and capture him in one fell swoop. When he came to the big tent of the Chinese army, Xiahoudun slashed at Xu Huang's bed, but he immediately felt that something was wrong, because he felt that where his blade reached, there was no sense of cutting off his body into the flesh. Xiahoudun hurriedly lifted the quilt to take a look, and found that it was not Xu Huang on the bed at all, but a straw man, and he was shocked, Xiahoudun knew that he had won the plan, and hurriedly retreated outside the big tent, and shouted at the same time: "The whole army assembles, assault outside the camp, the Han army has an ambush!" ”

The Cao army, which had already scattered and rushed separately. Hearing Xiahoudun's shouting, he couldn't help but be stunned, and before they could react, a burst of passionate war drums suddenly sounded from the camp of the Han army. The general's order drum trumpet, which belongs to the Han army, sounded from all directions. Countless Han soldiers emerged from their hiding places, holding fire arrows that had been ignited in their hands, and shot at the Cao army in the camp. Cao Jun came from the camp, so naturally there would not be too many heavy protective gear, only some of them carried a round shield with them. Under the fire of the Han army, there were casualties immediately, many Cao soldiers were shot by fire arrows, wailing and fell to the ground, some Cao soldiers who were not shot at the point, but the clothes and armor on their bodies were ignited by the flames, and they struggled under the burning of the flames in pain, but the sound of struggle was getting weaker and weaker, but they had to die immediately, and they were very miserable, and they couldn't bear to look at it directly.

In the firelight, Xu Huang was dressed in Mingguang armor, holding a Tiangang axe, slapping the horse and rushing out, and the thirty-six Tiangang axe was used with all his might, like chopping melons and vegetables, swept towards Xiahoudun's subordinate soldiers, after Xu Huang, 20,000 Han troops formed a battle formation, waved their swords, and ruthlessly slashed at the Cao army in front of them, and the Cao army was cut into dozens of squares, and it was no longer possible to form a unified front.

At the same time, in the left camp guarded by Shi Lian, the same scene was also staged, Shi Jian held a big knife, rode on a war horse, shuttled between the battlefields, and commanded his subordinates of the Han army to form an encirclement and suppression of the Cao army.

In history, Li Jin once defeated the god of war Lu Bu head-on, but the specific process has long been no historical data to verify, but no matter whether Li Jin won Lu Bu by force, or defeated Lu Bu's wolf cavalry by relying on exquisite command, it is enough to show that Li Jin is really a general who has been ignored by history, his talent and martial arts are by no means under Lu Bu in history, and the reason why he will be buried in history is probably related to his origin, he became famous in the remote Jiaozhou, and naturally has a congenital disadvantage compared to the famous generals in the Central Plains. Of course, the current Lu Bu, with the help of Ao Lie, is even more terrifying than in history, and if Li Jin wants to defeat Lu Bu like in history, the difficulties are multiplied.

Maybe it was fate, Li Jin was born to fight with Lu Bu, so his weapon is also a halberd, but it is not Lu Bu's usual Fang Tian painting halberd, but a double-edged halberd, this halberd is called Tanyun, there are two crescent blades on the halberd blade, and his halberd method also has a bit of the courage to pull the clouds and explore the moon, which is very wonderful.

Therefore, under Li Jin's Tanyun halberd, Shi Jian barely supported three moves, and he could no longer block the attack of Li Jin's halberd blade, after all, Shi Jian's martial arts could barely be regarded as a second-rate level, and he was definitely not Li Jin's opponent. Li Jin shook his might, roared angrily, and slashed the Tanyun Halberd to the top of Shi Lian's head, Shi Jian's arms had already been shocked to the point that he couldn't use the slightest strength, and in the face of Li Jin's slash, he had no power to cover it, and watched the Tanyun Halberd cut himself into two pieces.

After killing Shi Lian, Li Jin raised his halberd and shouted: "The main general of the Han army is dead, soldiers, kill!" Yue Xi waved the three-pointed two-edged knife, commanded the troops to meet with Li Jin, and carried out a Jedi counterattack on the Han army that lost its unified command, this battle, Li Jin and Yue Xi relied on their own martial arts, with 20,000 people, defeated the 50,000 Han troops stationed in the camp, opened the road to the left flank, and laid a solid foundation for the army led by Cao Cao to advance into the hinterland of Jizhou.

At dawn, the battle in Xu Huang's camp has also ended, Xiahoudun after paying the price of nearly 10,000 Cao soldiers' lives, successfully broke out of the encirclement, came to the left flank and Li Jin, Yue Xi converged, and then immediately arranged the defense line, guarding the road to the hinterland of Jizhou, and Xu Huang after learning that Shi Jian was killed by Li Jin, the left side has been lost after the news, can't help but look up to the sky and sigh, people are not as good as the sky, although he killed nearly 10,000 Cao troops, but lost the barrier of the left flank, this battle, strictly speaking, is considered the Han army lost.
