Feicheng's soldiers and horses were already empty, and after Zhao Yun captured Cheng Shu, disguised the army, and under the banner of Cheng Shu and Liu Ruo, they mixed into Feicheng very smoothly, and took the city without blood.

After taking Feicheng, Zhao Yun strictly guarded the city, but he did not replace the banner of Cao Cao's army, and still let the banner of Cao Jun's hang at the head of the city.

After Liu Dai and Wang Zhong's army withdrew from Guishan, they did not know the specific information of Cheng Shu and others.

The two marched back to Feicheng, and soon the gates were wide open, and the defenders welcomed them.

Liu Dai asked, "Why don't you see Mr. Cheng?" ”

The general replied: "General, Mr. Cheng led the army to besiege and kill the sixth lieutenant of Qingzhou, and he is in Fucheng at this time, the two generals should enter the city quickly, and I will be relaxed after handing over the defense." ”

Liu Dai bowed slightly, Cheng Shu did mention this matter when he asked them to withdraw, and explained the key points, otherwise they would not give up halfway.

So he didn't ask anything else, but urged the horse into the city.

This Liu Dai is not the Yanzhou assassin history mentioned above, but an ordinary middle and high-ranking general under Cao Cao, and Liu Dai, who is a relative of the Qingzhou royal family, is only the same name and surname, not a person.

Liu Dai walked in front, and Wang Zhong, who was behind, glanced at the general, revealing a hint of suspicion: "Why haven't I seen you before?" ”

The general approached and said: "General, I was originally General Cao's personal guard, and I have just been transferred from Jibei Kingdom, and it is normal for the general not to know me." ”

"General Cao, which General Cao?" Wang Zhong continued to ask.

Cao Cao's henchmen include Cao Ren and Cao Hong, and the three Cao riding tigers and leopards are naturally excluded.

"Of course it's General Cao Hong, general, please look at this thing, you should ......recognize it" Lai Jiang gradually took out an object from his cuffs, Wang Zhongfu was looking at it curiously, and suddenly, this person's right hand slashed up, and a sharp short sword cut through Wang Zhong's neck.

Wang Zhongren was on the horse, covering his neck with both hands, glaring at this person unwillingly, and then fell off the horse.

"It's not good to have assassins!"

Wang Zhong's people saw that Wang Zhong was suddenly attacked, and their heads were also buzzing.

The guards shouted and drew their weapons.

It's a pity that it was too late, and the dozens of people who came to lead the people out of the city attacked them one after another, and stabbed the people on the horse one after another.

Liu Dai was shocked and turned around to get out of the city, when a man rushed out of the city, fast as the wind, and the gun came out like a dragon, coming from behind, stabbing him to death with a shot.

Then more elite horsemen rushed out, slashing and slashing towards Liu Dai and Wang Zhong's subordinates.

Liu Dai and Wang Zhong were both killed in battle, and their subordinates were attacked by no one to command, and they were directly killed by Zhao Yun's troops.

Liang Xi and others, who were ambushed outside the city, took the opportunity to surround the fleeing Cao army and captured all of them.

"Come, go and inform Taishan's trial Taishou and General Yu, and ask them to send troops to receive Feicheng as soon as possible, our army will soon enter Dongping Kingdom, and then besiege and kill Lu Zhao, Cai Yang, Che Zhou and other Cao generals and Cao Jun with them." As soon as the battle stopped, Zhao Yun immediately sent someone to contact the trial and follow Yu Ban.

After instructing the guards, Zhao Yun said to Liang Xi again: "Assign you 2,000 men and horses to guard Feicheng, and be sure to wait for the people of the second lieutenant army." ”

Liang Xi said: "It's Captain Zhao, and he didn't guard Feicheng well." ”

Liang Xi's task is not only to hold Feicheng, but also the large number of captured Cao troops, which is a trouble, the task is very heavy, and it is not easy and simple at all.

Therefore, Zhao Yun left his old friend Liang Xi, who has been a partner for so many years, and he is not at ease when he changes someone else.

Liang Xi can be civil and martial, and all kinds of affairs in the city defense department are not a problem.

After arranging these, Zhao Yun led 4,000 men and horses, and slaughtered non-stop to Fucheng County.

This time, it's really going to attack Dongping Kingdom.

The judge of Taishan County was overjoyed when he received Zhao Yun's letter, because at this time, the south was basically peaceful, and there were Xi Zhicai and Ma Teng and other armies there, and basically nothing would go wrong.

So he transferred Zang Ba back, and after receiving Zhao Yun's letter, he immediately sent Zang Ba to lead his troops to Feicheng, and at the same time informed Yu Ban of Juping that he could counterattack.

Yu Ban also wondered that Lu Zhao and Cai Yang suddenly retreated westward, in anticipation that there was a problem in Cao Cao's rear, but he was cautious and did not chase, but continued to guard Juping to ensure that the west gate of Mount Tai was not lost.

After receiving the letter from the trial, he understood what was going on, and immediately led the army to advance towards Snake Hill.

………………

Cao Cao has been restless lately.

Xu Ding's soldiers and horses have been moving more frequently recently, always crossing the river to challenge during the day, and the left cavalry guards on the flanks are always running around in the north, so Cao Cao had to hang up the exemption card.

Without cavalry containment, he was so passive, which made him regret sending the tiger and leopard cavalry to attack the southern part of Taishan County.

And he has been dreaming lately, dreaming that the two juniors clicked, and their heads were screwed off by the Qingzhou Army.

In the past few days, he couldn't sleep, because Xu Ding would come to harass him at night every other night, shouting to kill and set fire, and then disappeared again.

It made him and his men not sleep well.

"Yuan Benchu, what the hell are you doing, you have been fighting in Plains City for so long, you have an army of 100,000, and the little plains have been gnawing for so long." Cao Cao always had a premonition that this alliance was going to end.

Looking up at the sky and the moon and star, the evening breeze was getting drier and drier, and he suddenly thought of what Xu Ding had been saying, the drought would continue.

Locust plagues will rage.

"Bokang, can you still say right, don't fulfill your crow's mouth, otherwise we will all be doomed." Cao Cao muttered, wanting to recite a poem, but seeing the faint light of the fire coming from the direction of Licheng far away dispelled this thought.

"Report! The lord is not good! ”

Suddenly, a horse flew into the camp, alarming the whole camp, and the guards of the city gate hurriedly carried the people over.

"What's the alarm, at this time it's night, don't you know the noise in the forbidden army?" Cao Cao said coldly and dissatisfied.

In terms of military discipline, he has been learning Xu Ding, and if he wants to train to become a strong army, he must pay first attention to laws and regulations.

Feiqi actually violated military rules in the middle of the night, if he hadn't asked about the matter clearly, he could have people take it down and send it to the military justice department.

Lai Qi hurriedly said: "Lord, Jibei is in an emergency, the sixth captain of Weihai Hou rode quietly into my Jibei country, Cheng Dazhong led his troops out of the city, was captured, and General Liu Ruo was killed." ”

"Poof!" Cao Cao's heart crined and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Jibeiguo was attacked by the sixth lieutenant, Cheng Shu was captured, and Liu Ruo was killed.

Jibei is over.

If you lose the north, you will lose Dongping, and if you lose Dongping, you will lose the country and the country of Lu.

That's exactly what happened with dead lips and cold teeth.

Liu Ye and the others were shocked and rushed over one after another, asking: "This matter is serious, do you know the consequences of lying about the military situation." ”

"Hui Division, generals, this matter is true, Zhao Yunben, the sixth lieutenant army, wanted to attack Fucheng, and Lord Cheng transferred Liu Dai and Wang Zhong to return to defend Feicheng.

He and Liu Ruo personally commanded the troops to besiege Zhao Yun, and fell into Zhao Yun's plan to lure the snake out of the hole, but was besieged by Zhao Yun's troops on both sides, General Liu Ruo was killed, Lord Cheng was captured, and Feicheng was also lost.

The fate of the two generals, Liu Dai and Wang Zhong, is unknown. The visitor replied excitedly.

"So ruthless Bokang, my tiger and leopard cavalry sneak attack Mount Tai, he sent the sixth lieutenant to sneak attack my Jibei, no wonder I haven't seen Zhao Yun's figure, it turns out that he has been hiding behind us, hiding in Pingyuan County, no wonder he wants to lead me into Jibei country, no wonder he has been taking the initiative to challenge, all for this reason." Cao Cao shook his head with a smile and said:

"The strategy is unparalleled, I am really not as good as Bo Kang, he plays bigger chess than me."

Han Hao asked, "Then what should the lord do now?" ”

Cao Cao looked up at Liu Ye, Liu Ye stood up and said: "Withdraw the troops, you can only withdraw from the alliance, and recapture the Jibei Kingdom first. ”

Everyone looked at Cao Cao, they all understood the reason, but it was Cao Cao who really made the decision, and it was Cao Cao who made the decision.

Cao Cao glanced at the direction of Licheng and said: "Withdraw the troops, withdraw all the troops from Qingzhou, return to the northern country of Jibei, we must rescue Wei'an, and we must take Feicheng back." ”

That night, Cao Cao hurriedly withdrew, and he didn't bring anything with him in a hurry, and gave it all to Xu Ding.

Before leaving, Cao Cao wrote two letters, one to Yuan Shao, blaming him for his unfavorable attack and his inability to cooperate with him to take Jinan.

On the other hand, he told him that the matter of the joint attack was stopped, and he Yanzhou was flawless in self-preservation, and he was unable to attack Qingzhou.

Another letter was addressed to Xu Ding, willing to reconcile with Xu Ding, and a truce between Qingzhou and Yanzhou.

For this reason, he was willing to leave his baggage and grain and grass to Xu Ding.

He believed that he would agree to this sincerity.

After all, Xu Ding didn't want to tear his face with him, Xu Ding's goal should be Youzhou in Jizhou, and Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao would not have a big conflict with Yanzhou before they were eliminated.

But how did he know that when Xu Ding saw the empty Cao Ying the next day, he knew that Zhao Yun or Chen Gong had succeeded.

So after reading Cao Cao's letter, he pointed to the baggage and grain and grass left behind and said: "Cao Mengde is the best at doing business, you see these trophies that should have belonged to me, but he used them to trade with me, it seems that Lao Cao has not realized that he has reached a dangerous point." ”

"Lord, then do we chase it, or don't chase it!" Meng Jiu asked.

The others also waited for Xu Ding's order.

"Chase, but don't chase too hard, bite and hit slowly." Xu Dingdao:

"Herald! The left cavalry guard was the vanguard and immediately pursued, followed by the 5th Captain's corps, taking over the cities along the way. ”

"No!" Guan Yu and Guan Hai of the Fifth Captain Army received the order and immediately went down to lead the troops.

As for the left cavalry guard, Xu Huang has his own law guard to pass on orders.

Then Xu Ding said: "Wen Yuan and Zilan each took 2,000 people to Gaotang, don't cross the river first, and wait there for the next instructions." ”

"It's the lord!" Zhang Liao and Xiahou Lan were also ordered to take 2,000 heavy cavalry and 2,000 legal guards to Gaotang City in Pingyuan County.

"Zixiang took a thousand avant-garde to stay behind to help the Duke and Shouli City and Jinan Kingdom, and closely monitor the movements of Yuan's army." After giving the order, Xu Ding said to the rest of the people: "The others will go to Yanzhou with me to see how much surprise Yanzhou will give us. ”

Cao Cao didn't expect that he had guessed wrong, and left Xu Ding with baggage and grain and grass, but Xu Ding's left cavalry guard still chased after him.

As a last resort, Cao Cao could only leave the generals Xiahoudun, Shi Lian, and Han Hao to break off.

I led the main force to rush to Jibeiguo.

Coincidentally, when it came to Linyi, the army had not yet changed its direction to enter the northern country, and at this time, there were flying horses one after another.

"The lord's big business is not good, Lu Bu has attacked Dongjun! Puyang City is in a hurry......"

"The lord's affairs are not good, Chen Gong rebelled, Juancheng was empty, and General Xiahou Yuan fled from Puyang and returned to ......"

"The lord's affairs are not good, Dongjun, Jiyin, and Chen Liu rebelled in various places, and they all supported Chen Gong......"

"Poof!" Cao Cao was stunned by the succession of bad news.

This is too big a blow to him, and his strong will can't withstand such a devastation.

When he woke up, he was much haggard, and his face was as pale as paper.

Glancing at the generals gathered around, Cao Cao asked Liu Ye, "How long have I been dizzy?" What happened to Yuan them, did they get rid of Berkang's soldiers and horses? ”

"Lord, you've fainted for a long time." Liu Ye replied: "General Yuan Rang They were defeated by Xu Huang's Ke cavalry guards, and the Fifth Captain Army of Qingzhou chased after them, and General Yuan Rang had to retreat, losing most of them, and retreated to Linyi at this time.

Wei Haihou rode one step at a time and two men and horses to chase after him, but he did not attack. ”

Cao Cao closed his eyes and waved his hand gently.

Liu Ye understood the meaning and asked the generals to go down, Cao Cao waited for everyone to go down, and then asked: "Is the news from Juancheng confirmed?" ”

Liu Ye hesitated for a moment, and finally replied: "Back to the lord, the news has been convinced, Chen Gongtai did welcome Lu to rebel, and he also gave Lu Bu the grain and grass of Juancheng and the money and grain of the treasury.

General Miaocai felt that Juancheng could not be defended for a long time and there were no soldiers available, so he moved to Fan County with his wife and sons. ”

Mixed blessings, Cao Cao showed a wry smile.

I never expected myself to end up in such a situation.

Chen Gong rebelled, and Lu Bu attacked, taking advantage of the absence of the main force to seize Yanzhou.

At this time, the country of Jibei was in turmoil, and he lost his Cheng Shu, and his former friend Xu Ding also sent troops to chase him.

Attack on both sides, crisis on all sides.

The slightest caution will wipe out the entire army.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao had a headache.

He had gout, and he was in great pain.

Liu Ye asked: "Lord, how to deal with it next, we need to make a big decision!" ”

Cao Cao rubbed his temples and asked, "Ziyang, what do you say I should do?" How can you avoid this? ”

Cao Cao didn't have any good ideas at this time.

You shouldn't be too stiff with Xu Ding.

If Xu Ding didn't fight back, he wouldn't be afraid of Lu Bu at all, and Lu Bu would kill Lu Bu with that little force.

Lu Bu is very strong, I have more than a dozen generals, and if I can't beat one of them, I can always kill him in a team battle.

Liu Ye also thought about this problem as early as when Cao Cao fainted, so he blurted out directly: "It is impossible for the lord to keep Yanzhou completely, we can only choose one, divide Yanzhou into two, either to protect the east or the west, no matter which side is protected, we must do our best to Bo." ”

Cao Cao knew that this would be the result.

All the western part of Yanzhou rebelled and defected to Goryub.

Xu Ding in the east is on the onslaught, and it is also precarious, and the outcome is uncertain.

Cao Cao asked, "Ziyang, which one do you think we should protect?" ”

Obviously, Cao Cao admitted this fact and had to cut the flesh.

I decided to make a decision, and I didn't have time to hesitate now.

If you don't stop interrupting, you will suffer.
