Cao Xiu returned from defeat, went to see Cao Cao, and complained: "When the soldiers arrived in Biyang, they met Huang Zu on the way, and the enemy was outnumbered, so they were defeated." ”

When Cao Cao heard that Huang Zubing was coming, he smiled and said: "I have tens of thousands of soldiers and countless generals today. Why not be afraid of Huang Zuyi's old pawn. Then the generals were collected and returned to the camp to wait for Huang Zubing.

Huang Zu drove a long march until he reached the side of the Wenpin camp, and after setting up the camp, he went to see Wenpin and watched Cao Cao's camp with him. I saw Cao Cao's camp, with flags lined up during the day, covering the mountains and rivers; Set up fire drums at night to shake the heavens and the earth. The battalions are closely interlocked, connected from end to end, relying on each other, under the camp gate, the soldiers come and go, the army is neat, and the orders are strict. Huang Zu sighed: "The Northern Land Elite Soldiers, as expected, are worthy of their reputation. If I have this tiger and wolf in Jingzhou, the lord can get it, and it can run rampant in the world. "Jingzhou is vast and has many people, if all the soldiers can be trained to be as brave as the northern soldiers, how many should there be. It's a pity.

Wen Ping listened to it and said with a smile: "I, a Jingzhou soldier, although I can't crisscross China, I can protect the territory and defend the land." When Huang Zu heard this, he laughed.

They have also heard the remarks of the ministers of Xiangyang. Commentators talk more about surrender and less about war. It is nothing more than seeing that Cao Cao's troops are already in Nanyang, I am afraid that Wancheng will be lost and Xiangyang will be shaken. But Cao Cao is here, isn't there still us in Jingzhou? Fortunately, the lord was wise and dispatched himself to defend against Cao Cao. The eight counties of Jingzhou are not easy to get, and they have a good foundation, how can they be easily handed over?

Cao Cao saw that Wen Ping and Huang Zu each rode around the camp, but he didn't care. He ordered the sergeant to prepare cloth bags and prepare to carry earth to fill the trench. He led the army to attack Wancheng, filled the moat, and as soon as Fang collected his troops, he was dug up by Cai Mao, and so on several times.

While he was preparing, a flying horse suddenly came to report the movement of Qingzhou. Cao Cao heard that Guan Yu was disturbing Peiguo, and Tai Shici was very anxious to attack Taishan County. Anxiety in the heart. But his face was silent.

At night, Cao Cao summoned Xiahou Yuan and said: "Miaocai, report from the rear, Qingzhou is attacking urgently, and I want to return to the division." I am afraid that Wen Ping and Huang Zu will pursue him. Tomorrow I will lead a large army to fight with you, and you will lead an army to return north first, and set up an ambush in the middle of Bowang Road. When our army retreats, if Jingzhou comes to pursue, it can be attacked. Xiahou Yuan took the order and left.

On the second day, Cao Cao's camp gate was wide open, and he led the generals to lead the army out to attack Wenpin. With Huang Zu's help this time, Wenpin was eager to try, and he didn't want to defend anymore. Then he also led troops out.

The two armies faced each other, without saying more, each raising his sword and gun, and fighting a big battle, until the end of the day. On the second day, he reported to the Malay newspaper and said that Cao Cao had retired. Wen Ping and Huang Zu were shocked in their hearts and came out of the camp to watch. I saw Cao Cao raise his army and leave the camp. Huang Zu said: "This must have an accident in Cao Cao's rear, and it can be chased." ”

Wen Ping saw that although Cao Cao's army retreated, it moved slowly and without distraction. Then he said: "If there is something in the rear, it will march and retreat in a hurry." Cao Cao marched like this, and the day was no more than ten miles. I'm afraid it's a fraud. ”

Having said that, he still led the army and came at the end. Cao Cao led the army all the way along the river like a spring, and looked at it and arrived at Bowang. Fang passed Bowang City, only to see Cao Cao's army abandon their baggage and walk quickly.

Huang Zu said: "Cao Cao is treacherous, knowing that he will chase him if he retreats, so he slowed down to this point." Now that he is marching quickly, there will be something in Yanzhou. You can chase it quickly. Wen Ping followed his words and led the army to chase after him.

Cao Cao's rear army saw that the enemy army was coming to chase him, and he went faster and faster. Huang Zu laughed when he saw this, and was proud, suddenly there was a horn at the corner of the official road, and the golden drums sounded in unison, only to see an army suddenly emerge, and the current general was Xiahou Yuan, he stroked his beard and smiled: "You wait for my lord's plan!" Then he led his army to attack.

Cao Cao was in front, and when he saw Xiahou Yuan ambushing his troops, he ordered the rear army to be the front army and also came to help in the battle. Wen Ping and Huang Zu were caught off guard, and their positions were in chaos, and they were entangled with Cao Jun for a while, and their army dispersed. Seeing this, Cao Cao ordered the generals to lead their headquarters to fight back and forth, and Wen Ping and Huang Zu couldn't stop the defeat, so they led the troops to retreat to Wancheng. Cao Jun covered up more than ten miles, and returned with countless burdens.

Seeing that Wen Ping and Huang Zu were killed by himself, Cao Cao smiled and said: "Its momentum has been leaked, and it will not be pursued again." Then he led the army and went all the way to Yingchuan. Passing through Luyang, he left Cao Ren here and instructed: "Luyang is the gateway to Nanyang, easy to defend and difficult to attack." I will come again, and you will keep it for me. Cao Ren was then ordered to guard Luyang.

Wen Ping and Huang Zu retreated all the way to the sunset, Fang rested in the old camp, gathered the army, and reorganized the army to wait for Cao Cao to attack. As a result, after waiting for a long time, Cao Cao did not come, and when he sent people to investigate, he had to report that Cao Cao had retreated to Benzhou.

Wen Ping and Huang Zu glanced at each other, and said in their hearts how deceitful Cao Cao was. However, Cao Cao's retreat was a blessing for Jingzhou. Then he went to report to Xiangyang and fought in a fine array. Yan was fighting with Cao Cao, his troops retreated, and he led a large army to pursue him for dozens of miles and returned.

Liu Biao was overjoyed and said, "Help me Jingzhou this day." Then he sent an envoy to reward the generals for their work. Huang Zu was ordered to return to Jiangxia, and Wen was hired to go to the south to quell the rebellion.

Kuai Yue said: "Cao Cao's soldiers retreated, there must be a reason. Liu Biao then sent a detailed investigation, unknown, the news came. Guan Yu's troops entered Peiguo, and Tai Shici attacked Taishan County. These two places disturbed Cao Cao's rear, and Cao Cao retreated because of them.

Liu Biao listened and sighed: "I know that Xuande will not abandon me." "I feel more and more grateful.

Cao Cao was on the way, and his heart said, Yuan Shao wanted to stay in Youzhou for a long time, how dare Xuande move lightly. He is not afraid of me and Yuan Shaolian? was about to go to the letter to blame, the soldiers went to Chen Liu, Guo Jia had a letter, and said that the army of the second road in Qingzhou had retreated. Cao Cao suddenly said that Xuande was afraid that I would get Jingzhou, so he sent troops to attack me. If I return to the teacher, everything will be done; If I don't pay it back, I'm afraid that the fake fight will turn into a real fight. Cao Cao is helpless, and he sees you fighting with Yuan Shao, when the time comes, I will help Yuan Shao, but Xuande, you have to blame me. So he returned to Changyi, so that each general would guard the place.

Guan Yu returned to Shouchun, and saw that Yangzhou was conquering Shanyue, so he sent Xizuo to sneak to Jiangdong, connect with Zhushanyue, and persuade him to cross the river and return to the north. In the middle of the day, there were countless Shanyue, not angry with the oppression of the Sun family, so they led their troops to Jiujiang. There are several people, more than a dozen, more than 100 people, etc. When Guan Yu saw his return, he comforted him carefully, asked what he meant, or incorporated into the army, or incorporated into the households, and each gave the land to cultivate.

Sun Ce and the other generals in Jiangdong were furious when they heard this, but they were helpless. Then 100 people in the army will be scouts, densely spread on both sides of the river, and when they see Guan Yu's army doing finely, they will kill them immediately. All of a sudden, Jiujiang and Guangling and other sections of the river were full of the sound of fighting, and the masters of the two armies fought openly and secretly here, each showing their magical powers.

Yuan Shao was in Jizhou, and when he saw Liu Bei's serial actions, he said happily: "This is a good opportunity to attack Youzhou." Then he reorganized the army and horses, and re-attacked Zhuojun. Liu Bei got the report, so he sent Zhao Yun and Tian Yu out of the plain. Attack its back road.

When Yuan Shao heard the report, he said: "The previous plot can also mess with me?" So he made people stubbornly defend the boundary bridge, Xiuxian, Guanjin and other important places. In case of Liu Bei.

Liu Bei then sent a letter to Liu Yu, asking him to send troops to defend Jicheng, but ordered Huang Zhong to lead the army to ambush in Daijun, and instructed: "Yuan Shao will send Gao Gan to attack Youzhou." If it comes, Hansheng will break it for me. If he can capture Gao Gan, Hansheng can ride into the state. Huang Zhong was instructed to do so.
