The three-way coalition army besieging the main forces of Xiahoudun and Cao Ren in Zhencheng rushed into the city only to find that the main force of Cao's army had withdrawn from Zhencheng, which made Lü Bu, Dian Wei and Zang Ba and others depressed.

Tian Feng immediately proposed that the Blue Wolf Army pursue Sun Li and Cao Xiu's army in the west, and that the Black Mountain Army, the Xiongwu Army and the Flying Tiger Army jointly pursue the main force of Cao's army to the north, completely cutting off the back route for Xiahoudun and Cao Ren to transfer and flee again.

Lu Bu said with some concern: "Mr. Yuan Hao, now that we are pursuing the Cao army in the rear, I am afraid that it is too late to stop the Cao army from crossing the Yellow River north. At present, all the forces of the Jizhou Corps have been gathered in Yanzhou, and once the main force of the Cao Army lands on the north bank of the Yellow River, won't it be necessary to let the land of Hebei fall into a military disaster again?"

Dian Wei, who had never spoken, said confidently at this time: "Feng Xian doesn't have to worry about this matter, this time we will definitely be able to wipe out the main force of the Cao army along the Yellow River! Don't forget that Marshal Zhao has not yet appeared, but he has 20,000 Yanzhou native infantry who are not afraid of death, which is enough to stop the Cao army crossing the river on the north bank of the Yellow River!"

When Lu Bu heard this, he calmed down a little and no longer worried about the safety of Jizhou. As the leader of the Jizhou Army and the deputy commander of the Eastern Route Army, Lu Bu is mainly responsible for the victory or defeat of the Jizhou battlefield. If this time, because of the omission of Xiahoudun and Cao Ren's reverse crossing of the Yellow River to the north, the result was a heavy loss to the Jizhou region, no matter how great the previous credit was, Lu Bu would inevitably be questioned and criticized by the Crouching Tiger Command. Lu Bu is almost fifty, but he can't afford to lose this person.

According to Tian Feng's suggestion, the main force of the Zhencheng coalition army was divided into two, of which Zang Ba led 20,000 blue wolf troops to the west to pursue Sun Li and Cao Xiu, and left 10,000 cavalry to temporarily stay in Zhencheng; Dian Wei and Lü Bu led the cavalry and infantry out of Zhencheng respectively, and went straight to the Yellow River in the north, pursuing all the way along the route of Cao's army's retreat to the north.

Sun Li and Cao Xiu, who had made a feint to attack Puyang to the west, came to the city of Puyang a few days later, only to be greeted by the roar of the Shenwei cannon at the head of the city, which had been repaired completely, and occasionally the muffled sound of a few more terrifying Shenwu generals' cannons.

Although Sun Li and Cao Xiu brought 30,000 Cao troops, they had to face 10,000 Xiongwu troops under the command of Pang De himself, which were known for their stubborn defense, plus the seventeen Shenwu General Cannons that had not yet been transported to Zhencheng (three of which were destroyed during the attack on Puyang City), so they had no chance to get close to Puyang City.

Sun Li and Cao Xiu, who were hit head-on, after urgent discussion in private, felt that the task of the army responsible for feints to attack Puyang had been achieved, and if they were still fighting under Puyang City, it was very likely that they would be blocked by the Jin cavalry besieging Zhencheng and wrapping dumplings under Puyang City. So Sun Li and Cao Xiu immediately led 30,000 Cao troops to pass under Puyang City, and went straight to Chen Liucheng, two hundred and fifty miles southwest of Puyang.

It is a pity that when Sun Li and Cao Xiu ran halfway with their troops and arrived at Kuangting on the bank of Pushui, they happened to run headlong into the Xiliang cavalry that had entered the Yanzhou territory to "forage"! Although only 10,000 troops led by Murong Ping and Ma Wan Er's generals blocked the way, the 30,000 Cao troops, who had already become frightened birds, could not have the courage to fight a decisive battle with the cavalry of the Jin State.

Sun Li and Cao Xiu gritted their teeth and led their troops to turn around and flee east along Jishui, hoping to use the dense water network between Pushui and Jishui to escape the pursuit of the Xiliang cavalry. However, when Sun Li and Cao Xiu's escape road came to Jiyang, it was completely brought to an end, because they encountered the Donglai army in Jiyang, which had already spread their nets!

After Gao Shun led the Donglai army to cleanly kill the 20,000 Cao troops left behind by Li Dian's army south of Chengshi, he immediately led the army to break west, aiming directly at Chenliu, the Yanzhou administrative office. When the Donglai army arrived near Jiyang from the downstream along Jishui, they happened to receive a report from spies scattered everywhere, saying that Sun Li and Cao Xiu were leading a Cao army to flee in the direction of Chenliu, so Gao Shun immediately ordered the troops to set up a formation twenty miles northwest of Jiyang, just waiting for the panting Sun Li and Cao Xiu to throw themselves into the net.

Sun Li and Cao Xiu found that the road ahead was blocked by the Donglai army, and there were Xiliang cavalry behind them, so they gritted their teeth and led the troops to prepare to flee again in the direction of Puyang, but unfortunately the blue wolf army with a belly of fire also rushed to the northeast of Jiyang when they heard the news, and completely surrounded the 30,000 Cao army.

Perhaps because they were worried that they would be able to drink soup if they were too late, the Donglai Army, the Blue Wolf Army and the Xiliang Army that surrounded Sun Li and Cao Xiu's troops actually launched a fierce attack on the 30,000 Cao Army.

If anyone wants to experience the simultaneous onslaught of 30,000 cavalry and 30,000 trapped infantry from four directions, then come under the command of Sun Li and Cao Xiu!

A battle of encirclement and annihilation was not so fierce, when the divine arrow Murong Ping killed Cao Xiu, the main general of the Cao army, with an arrow, and when the trapped-in general Gao Shun beat Sun Li to death, the 30,000 Cao army lost the courage and determination to resist the last, and laid down their arms in pieces to surrender to the Jin soldiers.

The Battle of Jiyang ended quickly, and the casualties of the soldiers on both sides were not too many, because the battle was a one-sided situation from the beginning, so there was no repeated tug-of-war and hand-to-hand combat, and the lives of many soldiers on both sides were saved. Of course, Cao Jun was the only one who survived. Otherwise, with 30,000 Cao army infantry in the wilderness against the cavalry and trapped-in infantry of the Jin State, the casualty ratio of the two sides is likely to reach eight to one or even ten to one.

After besieging and annihilating Sun Li and Cao Xiu, Gao Shun led the Donglai army to continue to advance in the direction of Chenliu, although he had learned that another part of the cavalry of the Western Liang Army led by Ma Chao himself had entered Chenliu City, but Gao Shun still had to lead his troops into Chenliu City. Gao Shun led the army to Chenliu, not to compete with the Xiliang army, but to enter the northern assembly area besieging Xuchang.

The Blue Wolf Army, which also had nothing to do, turned around and went to Baima to escort the grain and grass in White Horse City to Chenliu City, so as to prepare for the next time the coalition forces converged on Chenliu.

Xiahoudun and Cao Ren, who had successfully crossed the Yellow River, did not yet know the fate of Sun Li and Cao Xiu, who were killed and seriously wounded and captured, but their original plan to capture Dunqiu and then march to Yecheng had been stopped by a force that suddenly appeared in front of them without any number.

Although the 80,000 troops of Xiahoudun and Cao Ren were only 20,000 "miscellaneous troops" that did not have a number, Xiahoudun and Cao Ren's hearts seemed to be heavily pressed on an insurmountable mountain.

Because, Xiahoudun and Cao Ren saw the person they least wanted to see in front of the 20,000 troops!

The people who can make Xiahoudun and Cao Ren don't want to see it, looking at the entire Jin Kingdom, there are only a few of them. The red-faced Guan Yu is naturally indispensable, Zhang Liao, who always likes to laugh, is also one, but Zhao Yun, who is holding a bright silver gun, is the most feared by Xiahoudun and Cao Ren.

The reason why there is no Zhao Xing is not that Zhao Xing's military command talent is below that of several others, nor is it that Zhao Xing's overlord gun is not terrible, mainly because once Xiahoudun and Cao Ren see Zhao Xing, they will definitely have a strong urge to kill Zhao Xing at all costs. Under this crazy impulse, Cao Jun's original fears and worries will become insignificant. This is also the reason why Zhao Xing does not like to appear on the front line of the battlefield in person now, once he appears on the battlefield, he is afraid that the "hatred value" will be much higher, which is not a good thing for the army.

Because Zhao Xing did not appear on the north bank of the Yellow River, Xiahoudun and Cao Renjun did not show too manic and crazy actions, they were just concentrating on studying the plan of action on how to break through Zhao Yun's blocking forces, and did not think about the danger of breaking through the siege of the Jin army.

After repeated deductions by Xiahoudun and Cao Ren, they felt that if they wanted to reach Yecheng, they had to break through the nameless army that blocked the way. It's just that the troops blocking the road are not local chickens and dogs, and they are led by Zhao Zilong himself, how can they break through if they want to?
