Cao Jun suddenly burst out laughing in surprise, and one by one they became brave as if they were beaten with chicken blood, but they immediately came to the head.

It was indeed Zhang Xiu who came, and after approaching the south side of Cao Jun, Zhang Xiu took a deep breath and shouted: "The whole army charges, and the reward for capturing and killing Xiahou Yuan is 10,000 gold, and he will be promoted to three levels!" ”

Xiahou Yuan and Li Dian were stunned, and immediately shouted angrily: "Zhang Xiu thief, you dare!" ”

Xiahou Yuan even scolded: "The person who betrays the lord is shameless!" ”

Zhang Xiu laughed, and shouted while charging: "Lao Tzu betrays the master, if Lao Tzu stays with you, can Cao Pi's bastard let me go and let go of Xiliang people?" You forced me! ”

"It's over."

Xiahou Yuan understood the danger this time, and scolded Cao Pi's ancestors in his heart, and stopped when he felt that something was wrong, that was also his ancestor.

Cao Pi has said many times that he wants to avenge Cao Ang, this is not a secret, Cao Pi, who has a literati temperament, likes to associate with celebrities in Xudu, and he sprays indiscriminately when he drinks too much, and he can't hide it at all.

Zhang Xiu has almost no friends in Xudu, and everyone in Cao Ying deliberately distances himself from him, which is an unsolvable problem.

Although Cao Cao comforted him, no one in his subordinates wanted to get close to him, after all, more than one Cao Ang died in Wancheng.

There is also Cao Anmin, who was the first nephew to follow Cao Cao to raise troops, the general in Cao's camp, and the staff have a good relationship with him.

plus a Dian Wei also died there, Xu Zhu was very dissatisfied with Zhang Xiu, and Xu Zhu is different from Dian Wei, Dian Wei is a lonely Xu Zhu is not.

Xu Zhu's elder brother Xu Ding is also Cao Ying's general, and hundreds of people from the Xu family have joined Cao Ying, and it is Xu Zhu's help who is related to him.

"Wonder to go! I'll break the ......"

Li Dian rushed towards Xiahou Yuan, grabbed his arm and shouted, then rushed out, facing the direction from which Zhang Xiu came, with his personal guards behind him.

Xiahou Yuan shouted anxiously: "Man Cheng is back!" ”

But Li Dian rushed away without looking back, there was a momentum of no hesitation, he understood that if he didn't leave, he would waste the friendship of the other party in vain.

"Let's go, fight your way out of the encirclement and retreat!"

When Xiahou Yuan finally broke out of the encirclement and looked back, the shouting and killing in the distance was no longer audible, and there were less than 200 people following behind him, and he suddenly felt sad and couldn't help crying.

The eldest son Xiahou Heng and the second son Xiahou Ba were both adults with the army, and when they saw this, they both stepped forward to persuade him to leave here quickly, and then left with the remnants of the army.

In this battle, Cao's army really suffered heavy losses, 20,000 troops plus more than 10,000 people, only less than 200 people were left to go back, the general Li Dian was captured, and dozens of other generals were killed or captured.

When Cao Cao received the news, the whole person was stupid, not because he lost the battle, but because Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu surrendered, especially Zhang Xiu's words made him feel like he was being slapped in the face.

often boasts that he is good at employing people, but the reality is that his son forced the general to rebel, which not only made him embarrassed, but also made him vigilant, and Zhang Xiu was not the only one who demoted the general.

"Not good! The lord immediately informed Wen Yuan to withdraw his troops. ”

Cao Cao, who was immersed in grief, was woken up by Xun You's shout, and after being stunned for a moment, the whole person jumped up.

Cao Cao is a master of tactics, Zhang Xiu's surrender, there are 3,000 Xiliang cavalry under his command, Zhang Liao is consumed in Nanpi, if he is definitely a long-distance attack on Zhang Liao's department.

But he miscalculated, Xun You was also wrong, Zhang Xiu did set off early, and after encircling and annihilating Xiahou Yuan, he just took a short rest and received Yuan Xi's order to lead his troops south and go straight to Liyang.

In order to hurt Cao Cao this time, Yuan Xi made a careful plan here, and he didn't care about Zhang Liao's side at all, Nanpi was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it has always been the most difficult city in Bohai County to attack.

Yuan Shang fought, and Cao Cao himself fought, but Yuan Tan defended it.

Yuan Tan is not a waste, on the contrary, he has a lot of experience in war, and he doesn't want him to win the battle, but it is not so easy to be attacked by holding Nanpi.

In addition, Gan Ning had already increased his troops in Nanpi, Zhang Liao had no chance at all, and the 3,000 cavalry under Gan Ning had not moved, just to cooperate with Zhang Xiu to attack Liyang.

Liyang is the gate of Jizhou, once it is snatched back, the gate will be closed, and Cao Cao will probably have to take off a layer of skin if he wants to retreat south of the Yellow River.

Of course, this move is a dangerous move, Liyang is not easy to fight, it was originally the base camp of Yuan Shao's expedition to Cao Cao, and there was Le Jin guarding there.

Moreover, Cao Cao's army is in Hebei, and he can reinforce Liyang at any time, and he will be defeated if he is not careful.

But Pang Tong and Xu Shu both insisted on fighting Liyang, because the value was too great, so big that it was worth the risk of losing the army, and the strategists in Hebei were persuaded and worked together to deduce countless times.

This battle can be said to be the first time since Yuan Shao's battle against Gongsun Zan that Hebei has united as one, and they all want to be ashamed of the battle to avenge the shame of the battle of Guandu.

Le Jin has been uncomfortable in his heart for the past few days, as a brave and famous general under Cao Cao, this expedition to Hebei has nothing to do with him.

Seeing that Zhang He went to Bingzhou, Zhang Liao was alone in Qingzhou, so he was left to guard the rear.

In March of the 11th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao gave up attacking Handan and turned to Quliang City, the county seat of Guangping County in the northeast, in order to lure and lure rescue.

As early as the Western Han Dynasty, Handan declined, and the capital of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, the capital of the Zhao State, was destroyed by the Qin army.

Handan in the Han Dynasty was only a county town and was never taken seriously, but in the hands of Zhao, the city was rebuilt, although it was not as good as the capital of Zhao State, but it was already a heroic city.

It's just that the county administration of Guangping County has not been moved, Handan exists as a military town, and almost all the families of Jizhou officials are located in Handan City.

Cao Cao's move to encircle Wei and save Zhao was actually a good strategy, but the problem was that he didn't know the purpose of Yuan Xi's battle, and it was not at all to defend the gains and losses of one city and one place.

Even Yuan Xi was prepared for the possibility of the fall of the entire Guangping County, in order to attract the attention of the Cao army and keep the main force of the Cao army away from Liyang, so that he could close the door and fight the dogs.

Cao Cao didn't expect it, Guo Jia didn't expect it, Xun Yu and Xun You also didn't expect Yuan Xi to be so bold, this is the courage to die and be born.

On March 12, Cao's army captured Quliang, and Cao Cao, who had just entered the city, did not wait for Zhi to be satisfied, and there was an uproar at the city gate.

"What's wrong, Yuan let me go and see."

Without waiting for Xiahoudun to agree, a sad cry sounded: "Lord, the last general will lose Liyang!" ”

Cao Cao's body shook and he almost fell off his horse, but fortunately, Xiahou was quick and helped him.

When Cao Cao slowly turned around, he saw Le Jin covered in blood and his hair scattered, this time it was confirmed, Cao Cao couldn't help it anymore, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his back and fell.

"Lord!"

"Quick! Quickly carry the lord into the city......"

There was a sudden chaos at the gate of Quliang City, and the joy of breaking the city just now was gone, and no one knew what kind of situation they would face in the future.
