When Xu Maogong heard that Liu Bei had gathered the main force to counterattack Qingshuikou, he immediately ordered Yan Rou to cross the river and rush to the battlefield in Hanoi to help Sima Ju defend Qingshuikou.

"Mrs. Li E and Lu Bu and their cavalry have reached the front line of Dongduan and Jiyang, do you think they should attack appropriately?" Jia Xu looked at the map on the case, frowned and said, "At this time, you should give Yuan Shao some good news, lest he hesitate again after he kills Yanjin." ”

"Yuan Shao is very resolute in fighting Yangwu, and the Fengqiu battlefield should be strongly cooperated, why did he stop instead?" Xu Maogong still brought the battle report in his hand to the table, and said puzzledly, "What is Yuan Shao thinking?" Is there something going on within the coalition? ”

"Although there are many contradictions between the various departments of the coalition army, this is a critical moment in the war, and no one dares to take their lives as a child's play at this time." Jia Xu shook his head and said, "In my opinion, it is probably because we withdrew too quickly at Guandu, and the losses of the coalition forces in Fengqiu and Wuchao were too great, so Yuan Shao changed his mind and gave up the strategy of blocking us on the front line of Yanjin and Suozao, and instead concentrated his forces to drive us across the Yellow River." ”

"If Yuan Shao really thinks so, our strategy of deceitful defeat and luring the enemy will be successful." Xu Maogong said with a smile, "Feige sent a message to Mrs. Li E, asking her to divide part of her forces and attack Xiao Huang, Junyi and Chen Liu first. We need to let Yuan Shao know that the main force of our cavalry has arrived on both flanks and is ready to delay his attack. It is hoped that he can correctly judge the current battle situation and quickly gather forces to attack north. ”

"For Yuan Shao, driving us across the Yellow River is not considered to have won the Central Plains War, he can only be regarded as truly winning the Central Plains War after occupying Yanzhou and taking the Central Plains, so from this point of view, Yuan Shao will go north anyway to seek the opportunity for a decisive battle." Jia Xu said, "Now that he has caught up, there is no possibility of turning back." ”

"Mr. Mao Gong, at present, Liu Bei is still continuing to attack in the direction of Yanjindu. After Yan Rou crossed the river, if he and Sima Ju quickly defeated the rebels and beat the rebels to the west bank of the Qingshui River, it is very likely that Liu Bei's army would give up crossing the river after we withdrew to Yanjin, and instead counterattack Sima Ju, beat him all the way to Chaoge City, coerce Jizhou, and cooperate with the main force of the coalition army on the frontal battlefield from the flank. Sima Yi said on the side, "Sir, shouldn't you tell Sima Ju to let him not fight in the area of Jixian and Huojia for the time being before we withdraw to Yancheng, so as not to affect the decisive battle on the main battlefield." ”

"Nope." Xu Maogong shook his hand and said, "If Sima Ju and Yan Rou can't quickly kill in the area of Ji County and Huojia and defeat Liu Bei, I will punish them." The more fiercely we fought on the battlefield in Hanoi and the more fierce our attacks became, the more convinced Yuan Shao was of the departure of the main cavalry of the northern frontier from the main battlefield. If you want to attract all of Yuan Shao's main forces to the area of Baima and Yancheng to fight with us, this is the best way. ”

Former Takejo.

Yuan Shao commanded the army to kill the Jishui River, captured Yangwu, and then continued north, killing the original Wucheng.

Guan Yu led the army to retreat all the way, discarding a large amount of baggage.

Xiahou Yuan, Liu Pan, and Wen Ping were in a dilemma, and they didn't know if they followed Yuan Shao's army to pursue north.

At this time, they received a letter from Kuai Yue and learned that the coalition forces had stopped their attacks on the front line of Fengqiu and Wuchao. Kuai Yue did not explain the reason for the truce in the letter, but the three of them still guessed from Kuai Yue's tone that there might be problems within the coalition forces.

The three of them discussed.

At present, the situation is obvious, the Northern Xinjiang Army is about to retreat to the line of Yanjin and Suojuo, even if the coalition forces break through Fengqiu and Wuchao now, it is too late to capture Yanjin and Suozao before the Northern Xinjiang Army, and the original plan to encircle and annihilate the Northern Xinjiang Army on the front line of Yuanwu and Yangwu has failed.

The three of them immediately decided to follow Yuan Shao to the north and wrote to Liu Biao to explain the reason.

On the same day, Xiahou Yuan received a secret letter from Cao Cao. Xiahou Yuan comprehended, led the army all the way, and took the lead in catching up with Yuan Shao.

Guan Yu saw that the coalition forces were chasing quickly, and he did not meet the battle, and led the army to cross the gutter water and retreat into the sour jujube.

Yuan Shao immediately ordered, and all the troops crossed the river overnight to attack and kill the sour jujube.

Liu Shao hurriedly dissuaded, and he said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, my army has traveled more than 200 miles in three days, and it has been fighting fiercely with the strongest army of the Northern Xinjiang Army on the banks of the Jishui River for about a day. ”

Yuan Shao categorically refused, at this moment the Northern Xinjiang Army was attacked on three sides, not only the morale of the army was weakened, but the soldiers were even more tired, and this was a good time to attack, and the Northern Xinjiang Army must not be given any respite.

Xiahou Yuan was very active this time, and took the initiative to lead the army to cooperate with Yuan Shao's army to launch a fierce attack on the Northern Xinjiang Army on the other side of the ditch water.

Under the city of Fengqiu, the Jingzhou military camp.

After Liu Biao received Kuai Yue's letter, he was shocked and angry, and rushed to Fengqiu City overnight, convened the generals of the unified army from all walks of life, and redeployed the attack.

Cao Cao is the prime minister, of course he will not surrender his identity to the Jingzhou military camp to obey Liu Biao's arrangement, but in order to take the overall situation, he still asked Cheng Yu to take Cao Hong, Shi Lian, Li Dian and others to the Jingzhou military camp to participate in the military meeting.

The scene of the military discussion was very chaotic, and before Liu Biao finished his opening remarks, Cao Hong and Ji Ling quarreled.

In the past two years, Yuan Shu first took advantage of the Jizhou War to attack Yanzhou, and later Cao Cao's army and Liu Bei's army counterattacked Yangzhou Jiujiang, and the resentment between the two sides was very deep.

Cao Hong seemed to be deliberate, and scolded Yuan Shu as soon as he opened his mouth, saying that if it were not for Yuan Shu's perverse behavior, how could the Central Plains have such a bad situation today?

He was a traitor, which immediately angered Ji Ling, and the two immediately quarreled in the big tent.

Cao Hong was open-mouthed, and after scolding Yuan Shu, he scolded Tao Qian again, if it wasn't for Tao Qian's help, Yuan Shu would have died a long time ago, how could he escape to Yangzhou to suffer misery?

Zhu Ling, Zhou Cang and other Liu Beijun generals immediately jumped up and ridiculed each other.

Cao Hong still couldn't understand his hatred, and scolded Sun Ce and Zhou Yu in Jiangdong to the fullest. How can Sun Fu and Lu Su endure it? Probably Cao Hong scolded too badly, and Sun Fu was so angry that he even pulled out his knife.

There was chaos in the big tent, Liu Biao, Kuai Yue and others couldn't stop it, and no one listened to them when they shouted hoarsely. Kuai Yue hurriedly called the guards and forcibly dragged Cao Hong and the others away.

Cao Hong saw that his goal had been achieved, and led people to roar away.

Liu Biao thought about it for a long time and decided to put Cao Cao's army aside for the time being, and let Kuai Yue, Zhu Ling, Sun Fu, Lu Su and others lead the army to continue the attack.

In the afternoon of the same day, the coalition forces launched another attack on the front line of Fengqiu and Wuchao.

………………

On the second day of the ninth month, Fengqiu City.

The sound of war drums outside the city was fierce and did not stop at all. The earth-shattering sound of killing set off layer after layer of huge waves like a tide. There was chaos on the city walls, and the soldiers on both sides were entangled and sacrificed their lives.

Since yesterday afternoon, the coalition forces have attacked again.

Due to the heavy casualties of the defenders in the city in the fierce battle in the first two days, Li Jing and Pan Zhang guarded the west city gate with more than half of the lost army, and Lu Yi took reinforcements to guard the east and south city gates.

The increase in the number of defenders in the city boosted morale, and the one-and-a-half-day truce also gave the Northern Army a chance to breathe. When the rebels launched a third attack, the fighting between the two sides became extremely fierce.

After blocking for a period of time, Li Jing got the latest order from Xu Maogong through carrier pigeons, and he took the initiative to abandon Fengqiu City according to Xu Maogong's order, and evacuated with Pan Zhang, Zhang Yan, Lu Yi and others leading the army.

On the Jishui River, a group of soldiers covered in blood were speeding across the pontoon bridge.

Li Jing and Pan Zhang stopped their horses and looked back at the towering city.

Pan Zhang's expression was sad and indignant, and he said hatefully: "We just gave up Fengqiu City...... The lives of thousands of soldiers, the lives of thousands of soldiers. ”

"Brothers will not die in vain, we will soon be back." Li Jing waved his horsewhip and shouted loudly, "Blood debt and blood repayment." ”

"Driving the ......" the two rode their horses onto the pontoon bridge and galloped towards the opposite bank.

………………

After arriving at the temporary gathering point, Li Jing and Pan Zhang stopped to rest.

Zhang Yan ushered in with a team of guards on Pegasus.

"Yaoshi, Wen Jue, the military division of Mao Gong ordered you to retreat to Yancheng." Zhang Yan comforted the two of them for a few words and said, "Lu Yi and I led our troops to stay behind to block the enemy, and cover you to hurry to Yancheng and Wating. ”

"Are we going to abandon Yanjin?" Li Jing asked with a little surprise, "Retreat to Yancheng so quickly?" ”

"Mr. Mao Gong has ordered the main force of the army to withdraw to Sujujube." Zhang Yan explained, "Now that the rebels have lost the opportunity to capture Yanjin and Suojube and block us in the area of Yuanwu and Yangwu, after they occupy Fengqiu and Wuchao, they will immediately go north along the Pushui River and directly attack Yancheng." ”

"Has the lord crossed the river?" Pan Zhang asked eagerly.

"I don't know. In order to avoid startling the snake and allowing the coalition forces to discover the traces, the cavalry army is now in a secret operation. Zhang Yan shook his head and said, "Mr. Mao Gong ordered you to rush to Yancheng as soon as possible and prepare to fight another battle with the rebels in Yancheng." ”

Li Jing and Pan Zhang looked at each other, their faces happy. Although Zhang Yan did not explicitly say that the lord Li Yi had gone south, his words had already indicated a lot of things, and he said happily: "Go, go to Yancheng." The rebels are not far from death. ”

On the same day, Guan Yu, Li Zhong, and Bian Xi led the army to withdraw from the gutter water and retreat to the sour jujube.

The armies of Yuan Shao and Liu Biao quickly attacked Yanjin from the east and south directions respectively.

In the evening of the same day, Xu Maogong ordered to abandon Yanjin, and ordered Zhang Fei and Yu Ban to lead the army north to Yancheng, and he and Guan Yu and others led the main army to retreat.

Xu Mao Gong Feige sent a message to Li Yi, he said in his letter: "Tonight the army withdraws from Yanjin, and arrives in Yancheng tomorrow evening, if nothing else, the rebels will rush to Yancheng in two days to fight a decisive battle with me, please start to lead the army to cross the river tomorrow."
