Ji Ling watched Fang Tian's halberd slash towards him, but he couldn't do anything about it, so he had to kill him.

Just at the last moment, a soldier of the Yuan army flew and jumped to throw Ji Ling off his horse, and then Lu Bu's Fang Tian painting halberd had already fallen.

"Poof......!"

The blood light collapsed, but it was not Ji Ling, but Ji Ling's war horse was beheaded by Lu Bu with all his might.

The horse could not even neigh, and collapsed to the ground, his limbs convulsing to death.

Although this fall temporarily rescued Ji Ling, it also made him dizzy and in pain.

At this time, Lu Bu roared and killed again, Ji Ling didn't care about the pain of his body exploding, and hurriedly picked up the three-pointed two-edged knife that fell to the side, and flew into the crowd, escaping through the night and the chaotic soldiers.

Although Lü Bu only led 5,000 men and horses in the night attack, under the leadership of Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other strong generals, he slaughtered Yuan's army to pieces.

Because Ji Ling fled, the army had no one to command, and soon began to rout, and in the end only the sky was full of fire, which lit up the night like day.

Lu Bu had few soldiers, so he didn't capture the prisoners and killed them directly.

At this time, the east was white, the sun slowly rose through the thick clouds, and the camp of Ji Ling had already turned to ashes after a night of fire, leaving only piles of smoking black ashes, telling the events of last night.

Lu Bu was upset because he failed to kill Ji Ling, but he was able to kill the 20,000 vanguard army, which could be regarded as a great victory.

Lu Bu pulled Fang Tian's halberd into a spear, and then ordered the army to return to the city with a victorious palm.

Cao Bao on the city wall did not sleep all night, and has been standing at the head of the city to watch the battle outside the city.

When he saw the flames of Ji Ling's camp rising into the sky, he had already guessed that this night attack would inevitably be a big victory, and said beautifully in his heart: "With this good son-in-law, why worry about a big thing?" ”

After this battle, Cao Bao trusted Lu Bu even more, and became firm in helping him seize Xuzhou.

Ji Ling took advantage of the night to escape, gathered some fleeing soldiers halfway, and found a scattered war horse, and hurriedly rode and led hundreds of remnants of soldiers to gallop to find Yuan Shu.

When Yuan Shu, who was marching, saw Ji Ling, who was in a disgraced and embarrassed manner, he gritted his teeth with hatred and said: "You are the vanguard, but you have completely destroyed the 20,000 army and frustrated the spirit of our army, what is the use of keeping you?" ”

As soon as the words fell, he ordered someone to push Ji Ling out and behead him.

The generals hurriedly persuaded each other, and the general Qiao Rui pleaded: "The two armies are fighting, first behead their own generals, I am afraid that the army's heart is unfavorable, I hope that the lord will remember Ji Ling's past achievements, spare his life, and allow him to make meritorious contributions!" ”

The other generals also chimed in and interceded on behalf of Ji Ling.

Yuan Shu was reluctant to agree, but he was afraid of snubbing the hearts of the generals, so he said angrily: "If it weren't for the generals' intercession, they would not be spared, and they would write down today's events, remove you from the position of pioneer, and follow the army to listen!" ”

Ji Ling escaped from death, and immediately wept bitterly, first thanked Yuan Shu for his grace not to kill, and then thanked the generals before retreating.

Yuan Shu transferred Liang Gang to the vanguard in front, and ordered him to gather the remnants along the road, and the 20,000 army was killed After all, a few, most of them scattered and fled, and it was good to gather some.

Because he was worried that Lu Bu would take advantage of the situation to sneak attack, Yuan Shu's march speed was not very fast, and he walked two days to arrive at the distance that originally arrived in one day.

Yuan Shu set up two camps outside Xiapi City, large and small, into a horn.

Dazhai was personally commanded by Yuan Shu, while Xiaozhai was guarded by Chen Jilei Bo with 20,000 troops.

In the city, Lu Bu saw the arrival of Yuan Shu's army, and looked at the endless camps outside the city, and his face finally became heavy.

Lu Bu asked Cao Bao: "Do you know if Koji Yi sent troops?" ”

Although Lu Bu had always despised Ko Yi before, at this time, he was extremely looking forward to Ko Yi being able to lead the troops soon.

……

Lu Yi led the army all the way, and the pioneer Xu Sheng led 5,000 men and horses to Tancheng and set up camp outside the city.

According to the scout's urgent report, Lu Yi had heard that Lu Bu attacked Ji Ling at night and defeated Ji Ling's 20,000 army.

Regarding Lu Bu's ability to command the army, Lu Yi never doubted it.

Although Lu Bu's character is not flattering, he is definitely a leader in terms of personal bravery and leading troops in battle, and there are few opponents.

According to the latest news, Lu Yi knew that Yuan Shu's soldiers surrounded Pi and launched a difficult siege battle with Lu Bu.

Yuan Shu had already known Lu Bu and knew his ability, so he refused to fight with Lu Bu and only won with more people.

Whether Lu Bu rode out alone or led troops to rush and kill, Yuan Shu was a way of playing, that is, the tactics of crowds and cold arrows to sneak attack.

This made Lu Bu extremely uncomfortable, like a punch on cotton, even if he had thousands of catties of strength, it was difficult to use it.

Lu Bu was forced to defend the city, and Yuan Shu was difficult to break through the city for a while.

Lu Yi immediately asked Guo Jia: "Lü Bu and Yuan Shu will fight a decisive battle in Xiapi, if our army goes to reinforce it, even if Yuan Shu is repelled, there will be no damage to Lü Bu, and it will still be a disaster in the future."

If you don't rescue with it, and you are afraid that Lu Bu will be poor and throw Yuan Shu, so that there may be a vicious battle in Xuzhou, I don't know if Fengxiao has a good strategy? ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly, and said confidently: "When the lord sees Tao Fujun, he can order Zhang He to lead the troops to Tunpengcheng, and then order Tai Shi Ci to guard Guangling, while the lord is sitting in Tancheng, all of them are defended but not attacked, and first block Lu Bu's retreat, so that he has nowhere to go."

Although this is the case, Lu Buding believes that the lord's move is to besiege Yuan Shu and help him break the enemy, so he will never surrender to Yuan Shu.

At that time, if the lord wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Lu Bu, he had to be Chen Deng. ”

After hearing this, Lu Yi was puzzled and asked, "Although Chen Yuanlong is talented, how can he help me get rid of Lu Buye?" ”

Guo Jia laughed and said: "The lord doesn't know, that Chen Yuanlong is a native of Huaipu, his father Chen Gui is resourceful, and the father and son have been running Xuzhou for many years, and their strength should not be underestimated."

Previously, Chen Gui planned to lure Lu Bu into Xiapi, and he had already planned it, and the lord arrived in Xuzhou, just appease the Chen father and son, and the two of them will have a surprise with the lord! ”

The reason why Tao Qian has been able to sit in Xuzhou for many years is precisely because of the strong support of the Chen father and son, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch.

After listening to Guo Jia's words, Lu Yi nodded slightly and said, "In this case, I should know it in my heart!" ”

Guo Jia nodded and said: "Now it is the rainy season, once Lu Bu's army is defeated, the lord and Yuan Shu are at war, when Yuan Shu makes a plan to attack the water, the low-lying terrain of Xiapi, if you dig Yi, the water of Si irrigates it, it is not trivial!" ”

Lu Yi smiled in his heart after hearing this, and in history, it was Guo Jia who suggested to Cao Cao that he should be flooded, so as to defeat Lu Bu and kill him in Baimenlou.

Now Guo Jia suggested that he be careful of being flooded by Yuan Shu, it seems that the topography and landforms of Xuzhou are all in Guo Jia's heart, where to hide soldiers, where to make plans, has long been clear, really powerful!

Ko Yi nodded and replied, "When the time comes, I will order people to patrol along the river to prevent Yuan Shu." ”

Guo Jia nodded and replied, "It's so worry-free!" ”

While the two were talking, they suddenly saw a horse galloping in the distance.
