After the Xuzhou soldiers who were ambushed in the dangerous road of Kangfu were repulsed by the Cao army led by Xiahou Yuan, Cao Cao ordered the army to pass through this dangerous road as quickly as possible.

But there are tens of thousands of Cao's army, but this dangerous road can only accommodate two infantry side by side, if the cavalry wants to pass through this road, they must advance one by one, and this dangerous road is winding for five miles, even if the Cao army soldiers pass at the fastest speed, I am afraid it will take a long time.

Cao Cao doesn't care about this, his Yanzhou will be destroyed, if he doesn't go back as soon as possible, or later, I'm afraid that Yanzhou will have no place for him.

Fortunately, when Cao Cao attacked Kaiyang City, he only lost thousands of soldiers and horses, and he still held more than 60,000 troops in his hands, even if Yanzhou rebelled, he could capture the next city, and then fight with Lu Bu's main force, as long as he defeated Lu Bu's main army, then Yanzhou was still his.

However, Cao Cao had always been worried about one thing before, that is, he was afraid that Lu Bu and Zhang Yan would join forces to deal with him, and in this way, he would suffer from the enemy and lose the other.

However, judging from the news that the scouts kept coming back, it was impossible for Lü Bu and Zhang Yan to unite because they were engaged in a bloody battle for Changyi.

This is undoubtedly a big opportunity for Cao Cao, he can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and when Lu Bu and Zhang Yandou are half dead, he will send troops to attack, and he can solve Lu Bu and Zhang Yan in one battle.

Because of this, Cao Cao was also very impatient, and wanted to pass through Kang's father's dangerous road as soon as possible and return to Yanzhou as soon as possible.

Under the leadership of Xiahou Yuan, the soldiers of the Cao army not only repelled the Xuzhou soldiers who were ambushed here, but also got out of this dangerous road sooner.

But these Cao soldiers didn't know that their every move was secretly monitored by Xuzhou soldiers.

On the mountains on both sides of the dangerous road, under the cover of dense vegetation, all the Xuzhou soldiers were lying there quietly, watching the Cao soldiers in the dangerous road closely.

Zhang Yan hid under an old locust tree with a crooked neck, his location was already the second half of the dangerous road, when he saw Xiahou Yuan leading Cao Bing to quickly pass through the dangerous road, Xu Sheng's voice came from his side: "Lord, if you don't attack again, Xiahou Yuan will escape with the soldiers......"

Zhang Yan's face was pale, and a pair of deep eyes emitted a Taoist essence, always paying attention to the movements of Cao Bing in the dangerous road.

After listening to Xu Sheng's words, he responded in a low voice: "Cao Cao hasn't appeared yet, and it's not too late to attack when you see Cao Cao." Remember, our target this time is Cao Cao, as long as Cao Cao is killed, Cao's army will be leaderless, and it will definitely be a mess, and when the time comes, it will be time for us to launch a general attack. ”

Xu Sheng said: "The lord is really wise, and the five bodies that the last general admires will throw themselves to the ground!" ”

An hour later, almost 30,000 Cao soldiers passed through this dangerous road, but Zhang Yan did not see Cao Cao appear for a long time.

Zhang Yan waited patiently, and after another half an hour, Cao Bing passed more than 10,000 people, but Zhang Yan still did not see Cao Cao's figure.

After another quarter of an hour, Zhang Yan never saw Cao Cao appear, so Xu Sheng, who had been lying beside Zhang Yan, was anxious and reminded: "Lord, Cao Jun has almost passed more than 50,000 people, and if he waits like this, Cao Jun will all pass through this dangerous road." With our current strength, waiting for work, and launching a sudden attack, I believe that we should be able to wipe out the remaining Cao army, right? ”

Xu Sheng's words gave Zhang Yan a wake-up call, and Zhang Yan suddenly realized that if he waited any longer, he was afraid that Cao Jun would all pass, and when the time came, what was the point of his ambush?

He kept his eyes wide open, watching every move in the dangerous road, not only did he not see Cao Cao's figure, but even Dian Wei's figure did not see it.

Regardless of whether Cao Cao was in the dangerous road at this time, or had not yet entered the dangerous road, in short, he did not see Cao Cao's figure, which proved that Cao Cao was still east of the dangerous road where he was stationed.

Even if Cao Cao has not yet entered the dangerous road, then blocking Cao Cao to the east of the dangerous road of Kang's father, with his current strength, is enough to encircle and annihilate Cao Cao and the others.

As a result, Zhang Yan couldn't bear it anymore and immediately ordered an attack on Cao's army in the dangerous road.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The rumbling war drums spread throughout the entire Kangfu dangerous road, rolling like thunder, and then, more than 10,000 Xuzhou soldiers who had already been ambushed suddenly appeared, and launched an attack on the dangerous road, pushing down boulders and beating wood from the mountains on both sides, and attacking the Cao army in the dangerous road.

For a time, shouts of killing rang out, and Cao Jun, who was caught in the dangerous road, suffered countless casualties, screaming again and again.

The Cao army was suddenly in a mess, and many Cao soldiers were blocked in the dangerous road, calling the heavens and the earth not to work, and the only thing waiting for them was death.

At the same time, at the entrance of Kang's father's dangerous road, two groups of cavalry suddenly came out from behind Cao Jun, Yu Ban on the left and Chen Ying on the right, flanking on both sides, rampage in Cao Jun.

The soldiers of the Cao army retreated all the way from Xuzhou, and after a long journey, they arrived at this place, and they were already sleepy and tired, and they had no power to resist in the face of the sudden attack of the Xuzhou soldiers.

The Xuzhou cavalry, under the leadership of Yu Ban and Chen Ying, was in the Cao army's camp, and everywhere they passed, it was like a no-man's land, and many Cao soldiers surrendered one after another when they saw that the situation was not good.

The ambush was fully displayed, the killing opportunities were everywhere, and the soldiers of the Cao army were in a mess, the dead were killed, the wounded were wounded, and the surrendered surrendered. The whole battle lasted less than half an hour before it was declared over.

Zhang Yan walked down the ambush hill with difficulty, and was quite surprised to learn that the battle was over. He quickly came to the entrance of the dangerous road, and was also surprised to see the number of Cao Jun surrendered, which was as high as more than 7,000 people.

But among all the Cao soldiers who surrendered, Zhang Yan never saw Cao Cao and Dian Wei, and he was worried that Cao Cao and Dian Wei would die in danger, so he asked people to start cleaning the battlefield.

After a period of cleaning, the battlefield was finally cleaned up, and among the more than 3,000 soldiers killed in Cao's army, the bodies of Cao Cao and Dian Wei were not found.

Zhang Yan frowned, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, could it be that Cao Cao and Dian Wei had wings and could fly over from here?

He immediately found a surrendered general, and asked where Cao Cao and Dian Wei went, this question was not serious, and then he knew that Cao Cao and Dian Wei had changed into Cao Bing's clothes and walked out of the dangerous road an hour ago.

After hearing this, Zhang Yan admired Cao Cao's strategy of hiding from the world and the sea, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to slip away from under his nose.

Although Zhang Yan was a little remorseful, it was too late. However, what made him gratifying was that this time he not only intercepted a large number of grain and grass baggage from Cao Jun, but also intercepted a thousand war horses, which can be regarded as a great harvest.

Not long after, the scouts came with the news that Cao Jun had gone to Fan County. After a while, Zhang Yan received a letter from Tancheng, written by Chen Deng.

After Zhang Yan hurriedly read the letter written by Chen Deng, he immediately frowned, and the letter read: "Tao Qian is critically ill and wants to give up the position of state pastor to others, if you don't return quickly, your previous efforts will be in vain!" ”

So, Zhang Yan made a quick decision, leaving Yu Ban to lead 5,000 soldiers to defend Changyi, and let Chen Ying lead 2,000 soldiers and horses to guard Kang's father, choking the main road from Yanzhou to the east, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were all led by Mi Fang and Xu Sheng, and returned to Pengcheng with prisoners and grain and grass, and he also specially gave Yu Ban 500 war horses to let him form cavalry.

In addition, Zhang Yan also deliberately sent a large number of scouts to pay close attention to the situation in the entire Yanzhou.

When Yu Ban heard that Zhang Yan was going to lead his troops back to Xuzhou, he took the initiative to come to Zhang Yan in the big tent and persuaded him: "Lord, Cao Cao has just returned to Yanzhou, and this time he has been hit hard. Didn't our army form an alliance with Lu Bu, why don't we join hands to deal with Cao Cao, with the strength of our two armies, we can beat Cao Cao to the ground. Why did the lord withdraw at this time? ”

Zhang Yan handed the letter written by Chen Deng to Yu Ban, and said to Ban: "After you read this letter, everything will be understood." ”

Yu Ban took the letter, read it in a hurry, frowned suddenly, and said busily: "Lord, this matter is very important, without further ado, let's go in the morning, with the speed of the dark clouds stepping on the snow horse under the lord's seat, we can arrive in Tancheng tonight." The last general led his troops to camp in Changyi, monitoring the movements of Cao Cao and Lu Bu for the lord, and once there was any trouble, the last general would definitely report to the lord in time. When the lord solves the matter of Xuzhou, it is not too late to fight for Yanzhou! ”

Zhang Yan simply used some food, and asked people to feed the dark cloud snow horse, and after all the tasks were completed, he rode the dark cloud snow horse and rushed back to Tancheng overnight.

After Tao Qian returned from Kaiyang City, he suddenly became ill, coughing constantly, and sometimes coughing up blood from time to time.

In the state pastor's mansion in Tancheng, Tao Qian was lying on the bed coughing constantly, and the doctors changed one after another, but they were helpless.

In desperation, Chen Deng recommended Fan A to treat Tao Qian.

Fan A hurried from Pengcheng, diagnosed and treated Tao Qian overnight, and prescribed a prescription for people to take medicine according to the prescription.

After the people of the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion boiled up the medicine prescribed by Fan A, they fed Tao Qian to drink, which stabilized Tao Qian's condition, not only did he no longer cough, but he also fell asleep.

Tao Qian's illness affected many people, such as Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai, Beihai Xiang Kong Rong, Pingyuan Ling Liu Bei, as well as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and others, all of whom were invited by Tao Qian to Tancheng as guests after the war.

Tao Qian's sudden illness made these people helpless.

In addition, officials within Xuzhou are even more worried.

Chen Deng, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, Zang Ba and others had been guarding outside Tao Qian's room, and when they saw Fan A walking out of Tao Qian's room, they hurriedly asked Fan A about Tao Qian's condition.

Fan A just casually said that Tao Qian was suffering from a severe wind and cold, and relieved everyone, and the rest didn't say anything, turned around and left.

Chen Deng kept a heart's eye, chased after him directly, and at a turn, shouted: "Doctor Fan, please stay!" ”

Fan A turned around and saw that it was Chen Deng, so he asked, "Lord Chen, is there something wrong?" ”

"I want to know what happened to Tao Yuanjun's condition?"

Fan A was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Lord Chen, I didn't say it just now, it's not a big deal, it's overwork, and it's caused by the wind and cold, and after a few days of rest, it'll be fine." ”

Chen Deng sneered: "Doctor Fan, are you a fool when I am Chen Yuanlong?" Tao Yuanjun's condition, what happened? ”
