It is said that Liu Bei's army slowly withdrew from Xiapi City according to Zhao Chen's arrangement.

Zhao Chen secretly instructed Sun Shao: "Mr. Changxu has a special identity, so he can quietly stay in Xiapi City, and after my lord leads the army out of the city, he will go to Hou Cheng and Song Xian." Tell them that Liu Xuande will attack Cao Ying tonight. The two tigers must lose both, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to win Cao Cao and Liu Bei at the same time. These two people are anxious for success and profit, and they are at the end of the Lu Bu group, if there is a chance to send them to the door, they will definitely encourage Lu Bu to send troops. After the deed is done, thou shalt not linger, but hasten to the south gate, and someone will answer you. ”

Then he called Shi A: "Take my letter, and when Lu Bu leaves the city, stop Zhang Liao and Gao Shun and hand over the letter to him." After reading the letter, the two men will understand. After the matter was completed, he quickly went to the south gate to pick up Mr. Changxu and must protect him. General Huang Gongfu will break through the city from the south gate and act with General Huang at that time. ”

Shi Ah took the order and left.

After arranging everything, Zhao Chen rode out of the city.

Liu Bei led the army to move ten miles west, crossed the confluence of Surabaya and Yishui, and set up camp on the south bank of Surabaya.

The camp is built by the water, and to the south is an endless plain that can be evacuated at any time. Twenty miles to the north, past Surabaya, was Cao Cao's camp.

There is Surabaya, which just gives Liu Bei's army a buffer place.

This is also an important reason why Zhao Chen chose this place.

The news that Liu Bei's army had been driven out of Xiapi City by Chen Gong and encamped on the south bank of Surabaya soon reached Cao Cao's camp.

Cao Cao clapped his hands and applauded: "Sure enough, as Fengxiao said, Chen Gong was careful and drove Liu Bei's army out of Xiapi City." ”

The plan took effect, Guo Jia's face was full of confidence, and he suggested: "Lord, now that Liu Bei's army has just left the city, its foothold is not stable, and it is suitable for a surprise attack." ”

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and thought slightly.

"What Feng Xiao said is yes, attack Liu Bei's camp tonight."

So Cao Cao arranged for Cao Ren to lead 30,000 horses to guard the camp, personally lead an army of 40,000, with Xiahou Yuan as the vanguard, and raid Liu Bei's camp tonight.

In Xiapi City, Sun Shao found Hou Cheng and Song Xian according to Zhao Chen's arrangement, and lobbied: "I know that the two generals are brave, but unfortunately they are not only useless under General Lu's account, but they are also subject to Gao Shun everywhere, and Zhang Liao, who is a colleague in Bingzhou, is also above the two. Their best friend, General Wei Xuwei, was also killed by Cao Jun. Now there is a plan under him, which can reshock the two generals and avenge his friend General Wei. ”

Hou Cheng and Song Xian were moved by Sun Shao's words, and hurriedly asked, "What's the plan?" ”

Sun Shao truthfully told the news that Liu Bei's army was preparing to raid Cao's army tonight, and suggested that the two of them contact Lu Bu quickly, and wait for the two armies to fight for a long time, and then send troops to finish, and then they can defeat Cao Cao.

The two thanked Sun Shao and hurriedly went to find Lu Bu.

When Lu Bu learned of this, he came to Chen Gong to discuss.

Chen Gong thought for a long time, and replied: "The general can wait and see what happens, if Liu Bei wins half of the son, the general will do his best to attack Cao Cao, and take advantage of the fisherman, so as not to make Liu Bei's army bigger." If Cao Cao wins, the general will stick to the city in case of accidents. ”

Lu Bu from his calculations.

That night, Zhao Chen arranged the tasks of the generals.

Ordered Zhang Fei to lead 5,000 troops, quietly bypass Surabaya from the east at night, and wait ten miles north of Cao Ying.

"Cao's army is defeated, and it will definitely go north. Yide could not let go and drove Cao's army to the east. ”

Zhang Fei received the order.

He also ordered Guan Yu to lead 5,000 troops, bypass Surabaya from the west, and ambush ten miles west of Cao Ying.

He also ordered Tai Shici to lead 3,000 cavalry, quietly sneak to the south of Cao Ying, and when the southeast wind rose, he led the army into Cao Jun's camp and set fire to it.

"General Ziyi must not fall in love with war, he only needs to set fire to the camp and take advantage of the situation. Cao's army was strong, and the losses of the hard enemy were too great to be advisable. ”

Tai Shici clasped his hands into fists and replied: "Mr. Houde, rest assured, he let Cao Cao suffer defeat the first two times, and now let him eat the third time." ”

At this time, Tai Shici, after many cooperative battles, has gradually regarded himself as a general under Liu Bei's account.

This is the effect that Zhao Chen wants.

Zhao Chen ordered Huang Gai to lead 5,000 troops and secretly return to the south gate of Xiapi City to the east, and after Lu Bu's army left, he could take the opportunity to take Picheng.

The four generals each took their orders and left.

Zhao Chen finally said to Liu Bei: "Lord, the remaining two thousand men and horses will be led by the lord, and they will go north together, still ambushed in Geyi Mountain. In this battle, Cao's army will be defeated, and can only flee to the east, when Lü Bu's army will go out of the city to harvest, and our army will take advantage of the chaos to take Pi together with General Huang Gai. ”

Liu Bei smiled and said, "It's really a war that hasn't started yet, and the prophet has won or lost." The camp plan is calculated to be a matter of a hundred miles away, and it is difficult to have an opponent in the Central Plains with the talent of the military division. ”

Zhao Chen said with a smile: "The lord has won the award, if he can successfully win Xiapicheng, our army will be able to gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou in advance, and the future plan can be implemented in advance." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

At night, the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and it was darker than ever.

Tai Shi Ci led an army of 5,000 and quietly touched the outside of Cao's camp. From a distance, Cao Yingli was in full swing to prepare.

"Sure enough, the military adviser expected that the Cao army would attack the camp tonight."

He commanded his soldiers to wait quietly.

As soon as the hour passed, the southeast wind suddenly rose and blew loudly.

Tai Shici realized that the time had come for Zhao Chen to say, and immediately ordered someone to show his spear, light the torch, and get on the rocket.

At the sound of an order, 2,000 rockets fired in unison and fell into the Cao army camp along with the southeast wind.

The Cao army camp instantly ignited a raging fire, and before the Cao army could react, Tai Shici led 5,000 soldiers and rushed into the Cao army camp.

Cao Jun was killed in a hurry, trampling on each other, and was killed by Tai Shici's army before he could pick up his weapons.

Cao Ren and Xiahoudun hurriedly led the army to meet the battle, Tai Shici didn't dare to stay for a long time, brandished his spear, stabbed left and right, bypassed the two, and fought a bloody way.

Killed until the middle camp of the Cao army, Cao Cao led Xiahou Yuan to resist and surrounded the Taishi Ci army.

In the face of Cao's army, which was several times his own, Tai Shici was not afraid at all, and took Cao Cao directly with his gun.

Cao Cao was taken aback and retreated.

Xiahou Yuan on the side didn't care about the injury in his shoulder, and shot to deal with it.

After three rounds of fighting, Xiahou Yuan was a little physically exhausted, thanks to the ban who came in time to save him.

Cao Cao shouted: "Tai Shici, why are you here? ”

Tai Shici pointed to the young Wenchen beside Cao Cao and said with a smile: "You are Guo Jia, my Mr. Houde values you very much, but unfortunately his resourcefulness is far inferior to that of Mr. Houde. Today, Tzu is going to take the heads of all of you. ”

"What a big breath!" How could Xiahou Yuan allow Tai Shi Ci to be arrogant and command the army to persecute Tai Shi Ci.

When the two armies faced each other, a green-robed general was killed from the west, which was Guan Yuye.

Cao Jun's resistance that he had finally organized was torn apart by Guan Yu's impact.

Guan Yu and Tai Shici joined forces, and 10,000 horses and horses rushed to kill wantonly, so that Cao Jun had no power to fight back, and corpses were everywhere they went, as if bulldozing.

Cao Jun was scorched by the fire, and facing the southeast wind, the dust was flying, and he couldn't open his eyes at all, and he couldn't judge how many people Guan Yu and Tai Shici had, and he only felt that there were soldiers falling around him.

Cao Cao had no choice but to lead the army to the north without hindrance.
