Sima Fa's main force attacked Xigu, sent the Yamen general Luo Feng to march to Xingtai, and the partial general Duan Qi to attack Shishan.

Luo Feng led 30,000 troops all the way to attack Xingtai County, which was unstoppable.

When he arrived at Xingtai County, Chen Bing called for battle at the west gate.

Xingtai guarded Cao Huan's troops in three ways, personally led the troops to sit in the city, and the commanders Cao Gan and Cao Xi garrisoned in the north and south directions, relying on each other.

Luo Feng invited to fight alone, but Cao Huan ignored it.

So he led the troops to rush into the city, Cao Gan and Cao Xi attacked left and right, and cooperated with Cao Huan's main force to block Luofeng's army.

Luo Feng's deputy general Lu Peng suggested that Cao Gan and Cao Xi should be taken first, because these two people were arrayed outside the city, and they cooperated with Cao Huan to defeat these two soldiers and horses, and the opponent's defensive position was destroyed.

Luo Feng listened to the suggestion, divided the troops into two routes, led his troops to attack Cao Gan, and ordered the deputy general Lu Peng to lead the troops to attack Cao Xi.

As a result, Cao Huan led his troops out of the city, and the soldiers also attacked from the rear in two ways.

Cao Gan and Cao Xi lined up to meet each other, and cooperated with Cao Huan to attack on both sides, Luo Feng was defeated and fled, retreating forty miles.

Luo Feng suffered hardship, and frowned in the face of his generals: "The three brothers Cao Huan, Cao Gan, and Cao Xi cooperate tacitly, and they are proficient in military formations, and they assist each other, which is extremely difficult to deal with. Who of you can break its formation?"

The voice fell, and no one answered.

Luo Feng frowned: "No one can break this formation?"

At this time, one of the people stood up and clasped his fists and said: "The three brothers of the Cao family are good at arranging formations, and their army is well-trained, and they cannot be broken easily when they are in one place. There is a plan below that can help the general win!"

Luo Feng turned his head to look, and it was Strategist Yang Man who stood up.

So he asked, "What is the plan, sir?"

Yang Man smiled slightly, and replied unhurriedly: "I heard that there is a small town in the east of Xingtai, called Shuangliu. The three Cao brothers are all Shuangliu people, and the family is all here. As long as the general sends a partial division to Shuangliu, Cao Huan will definitely send troops to rescue. As long as the three Cao brothers are separated, the power of the military array will be reduced, and the general can drive a large army to attack them, and he will win!"

Luo Feng listened to Yang Man's suggestion and asked Lu Peng to lead the division to Shuangliu.

When Cao Huan learned about it, he was really shocked: "If the double willows are lost, my family is in danger!"

Immediately sent Cao Gan to lead the troops to help.

Cao Gan pursued all the way, but Lu Peng ambushed him along the road and surrounded him.

When Cao Xi learned about it, he immediately led troops to rescue.

The two soldiers and horses left the station, and Luo Feng led the army to storm Xingtai.

Cao Huan led the troops to hold on, but in the face of Luo Feng's ant siege at any cost, without the support of Cao Gan and Cao Xi, he finally couldn't resist.

Luofeng's army attacked the city and captured Cao Huan.

Cao Gan and Cao Xi learned that they lost their square inches and were defeated by Liu Peng, and the three brothers were captured.

Luo Feng won Xingtai County and persuaded the three Cao brothers to surrender.

In desperation, the three brothers agreed to surrender to Lu Cong.

On the other side, the partial general Duan Jue led 20,000 troops to attack Shishan County.

Shishan Taishou Han Ming led the troops into battle, facing Duan Qi in front of the formation.

Duan Jue sent the general Wang Shuang to the battle, and successively killed Han Ming's generals Liu Jue, Song Xing, Wei Hu, and Diao Fu.

Han Ming was defeated and retreated to the city, and Duan Jue led his troops to attack and was held by Han Ming.

Han Ming lost several generals in a row, and he was depressed.

The chief bookkeeper Tian Chou said: "Don't worry! There is a flower family village in the city, the owner of the village Hua Boheng is excellent in martial arts, and the Zhuang family can fight well. At the beginning, Liang Yi ant thieves were rampant, and when they encountered Hua Boheng, they were all destroyed! As long as Fu Zun invited Hua Boheng, he would definitely be able to repel the enemy army!"

Han Ming personally went to Huajiazhuang, met the owner Hua Boheng, and invited the other party to help.

Hua Boheng agreed, and immediately led the Zhuang soldiers to help in the battle.

The next day, Duan Jue came to attack the city again.

Han Ming took Hua Boheng to battle.

Duan Jue's general Wang Shuang stepped forward immediately, Hua Boheng slapped his horse out, and the two generals led you back and forth, fighting in the dark.

After more than 80 fights, Hua Boheng made a false move and stabbed Wang Shuang's left arm.

Wang Shuang returned to the formation with an injury.

When Duan Jue's deputy general Dong Bo saw it, he rushed out with a big knife in his hand, and fought Hua Boheng hard.

Hua Boheng fought with Dong Bo for fifty rounds, slashed him down with a knife, and died on the spot.

Seeing that Hua Boheng killed Dong Bo, another general rushed out beside Duan Jue, who was the seventh brother of Duan Jue's family, named Duan Weiyong.

Duan Weiyong's force was not inferior to Hua Boheng, and the two fought fiercely for 70 rounds, Hua Boheng was physically exhausted, and was stabbed in the left arm by Duan Weiyong.

Seeing that Hua Boheng was in danger, someone in the Huajiazhuang soldiers pulled a bow and an arrow, and shouted: "The thief looks at the arrow!"

A cold light flashed, Duan Weiyong quickly lowered his head, only to hear a clang, and the helmet was shot down. Frightened, he quickly turned his horse's head and fled back to his camp.

Hua Boheng withdrew safely and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Both sides paid their own troops.

Back in the city, Han Ming set up a banquet for Hua Boheng to suppress the shock.

At the banquet, he asked curiously, "Who is the person who shot the arrow?"

Hua Boheng replied: "She is the daughter of Hua, because she is the second in the family, she is called Erniang." ”

"The owner of the village is excellent in martial arts, but I didn't expect Ling Ai to be superb in archery!" Han Ming was quite surprised.

"Erniang has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, not only is her archery skills superb, but her martial arts are even more blue. Hua Boheng talked about his daughter and was quite proud.

"Is there such a thing?" Han Ming was quite surprised, "In that case, can you please Ling Ai tomorrow?"

"This ......" Hua Boheng hesitated when he heard this.

"The owner of the village personally pressed the formation, should there be no problem?" Han Ming said.

"It's okay!" Hua Boheng agreed.

The next day, the two armies clashed again.

Hua Boheng really let his daughter Hua Erniang go out of battle.

Hua Erniang carried an iron-tired bow on her back, carried a spear, and went out on horseback.

Seeing that the other party sent a female general, Duan Jue was immediately furious, thinking that Han Ming looked down on him and deliberately humiliated him. So let Duan Weiyong fight.

Duan Weiyong recognized that it was the female general who shot down his helmet yesterday, so he stepped forward and shouted: "Female doll, you hurt people with a secret arrow yesterday?"

Hua Erniang laughed and danced: "It's your aunt and grandmother! If it weren't for my mercy, you wouldn't have been able to speak here!"

Duan Weiyong was so angry that he suddenly said angrily: "The female doll doesn't know whether she is alive or dead, so don't hurry up and retreat! Let Hua Boheng come out and fight with me!"

"Why do you need your father to deal with you personally?" Hua Erniang said with a smile, and stabbed out directly.

Duan Weiyong greeted him with a knife and fought for seven rounds, Hua Erniang suddenly turned the horse's head and ran back.

"Hugh go!" Duan Weiyong, who was fighting, chased after him.

Hua Erniang quickly took off the iron tire bow, turned around and shot an arrow, and the middle section was mediocre.

Duan Weiyong turned over and fell off the horse, Duan Jue was shocked, and hurriedly dispatched dozens of generals to rescue him.

Dozens of generals rushed forward, and Han Ming gave an order, and a large number of generals met the battle.

Hua Erniang raised her gun and rushed left and right, and even picked up several enemy generals, which was unstoppable.

Duan Qi's army was defeated, but fortunately, Duan Weiyong was successfully rescued.

Duan Weiyong is also a big fortune teller, his armor blocks the fatal blow, and the arrow is only an inch away from the vital point. Even if the famous doctor in the army diagnosed and treated, he saved his life.

After losing the battle, Duan Jue was very annoyed and summoned his subordinates to ask about countermeasures.

The strategist Hu Wei offered advice: "The enemy general is brave and fierce, and he should outwit him! The general can order the army to feign attacking the city and harassing the enemy army." Secretly dig tunnels and steal into the city. ”

Duan Qi used Hu Qi's strategy to attack Han Ming and attract the attention of the other party by feintting with a large army, while secretly sending troops to dig the ground and sneak into the city at night to seize the city gate.

Han Ming was caught off guard, and Duan Jue's army entered the city.

The defenders fought desperately, fighting for a day and a night, and finally Han Ming's main force was surrounded.

Duan Jue personally persuaded him to surrender, promising that he would not be to blame for the past, but that anyone who surrendered could be reused.

Han Ming saw that the general trend had gone, so he led the crowd to surrender.

Duan Jue was overjoyed and asked Han Ming to persuade Hua Boheng to surrender.

Han Ming personally came to Huajiazhuang and persuaded Hua Boheng to take refuge in Lu Cong.

In order to protect Huajiazhuang, Hua Boheng agreed to Duan Jue's solicitation.

Duan Jue appointed Hua Boheng as a deputy general and stayed by his side to listen to it.

Although Hua Erniang is superior in force, she can't be reused as a woman, so she stays with her father.

The two counties of Xingtai and Shishan were occupied, and only the valley and Yujiang were left in southern Zhou, which was quite embarrassed in the face of the onslaught of Sima Fa's army.

Sima Fa spread rumors and incited the people of Xigu County to riot, which made Zhou Nan worry about internal and external troubles and was powerless to resist.

In desperation, Zhou Nan could only abandon the valley and lead the army to retreat to Yujiang County.

Sima Fa ordered to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the three counties of Mizhang, Mizhou, and Shishan to surround Yujiang County on all sides and encircle and suppress the last forces of southern Zhou.

Zhou Nan guarded hard, tried his best, and held on for more than ten days in the face of the four-way army, and finally broke the city and killed himself in the mansion.

Southern Zhou was destroyed, and Sima Fa soon received information from Jiangzhou that Cheng Wan had been defeated and the three counties of Jiangzhou had fallen into the hands of Ning Ze.

It turned out that Ning Ze prepared in advance, and when he received Cheng Wan's compensation, he took advantage of the situation to raid.

The army was divided into three routes, marching from Liao County, Eagle Peak, and Wolf Mountain.

Ning Ze's main force stormed Hucheng, and Cheng Wan led his troops to resist.

Dewey, Wang Wei, and Ding Mu crossed the lake by boat and attacked Nanhai County.

At the same time, Mi Yan rushed to Langshan County and led the soldiers and horses to storm Bashan.

Nanhai County was the first to be breached, and Dewey and others turned around and attacked Hucheng.

Cheng Wan suffered from the enemy on his back and struggled to resist Ning Zejun.

Mi Yan broke through Bashan County and led his army north to reinforce Hucheng.

Cheng Wan tried his best to delay, but his strategist Ding Gu saw that the general trend was gone, so he led his troops to rebel and killed Cheng Wan in front of the battle.

As soon as Cheng Wan died, his officials gave up resistance.

So Ning Ze quickly took the three counties and got the whole of Jiangzhou.

Ding Gu contributed to the city, and was sealed and defended by the city, and the rest of the surrendered generals were all reused.

At this point, the world is divided.

Lu Chong coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes to occupy Yunzhou, Yanzhou, Chizhou, Mizhou, and Bozhou, Miha, Jiyang, a total of 25 county towns, and was subjugated by more than a dozen foreign peoples such as Tuyu, Lihu, and Shanshan;

Ning Ze, dominated by Liu Yuanxiang, occupied Jinzhou, Chengzhou, Hanzhou, Liangzhou, Xizhou, Jiangzhou, Yuanzhou, as well as Mizhou Longshou, Bozhou Yuetai, and Jilan, a total of 42 county towns, and controlled the country of Binaqiu;

Tang Niu occupies a total of 11 county towns in Bian Zhou and Puzhou;

Ma Jian occupies Gunzhou, Wuzhou, and Chengde, Yanzhou, a total of ten county seats.

Ning Ze properly arranged the border defense, guarded it with heavy troops, and took Mi Yan back to Jinzhou to report on his work, report the results to Liu Yuanxiang, and at the same time prepare a strategy to resist Lu Cong's attack in the coming year.

To this end, he sent envoys to Bian and Gon in advance to propose an alliance to Tang Niu and Ma Jian respectively.

Sima Fa also sent envoys to persuade Tang Niu and Ma Jian to fight against Ning Ze together, because among the four princes, Ning Ze is currently the strongest and occupies the land of the seven states in the country.
