Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

Three days later, outside Liyang City, there was a place called Cangting.

Yuan Shao assembled the army brought by the Yuan Tan brothers, stationed on the Cangting, and immediately sent someone to send a letter of war to Cao Cao.

As the overlord of the north, Yuan Shao, who has four generations and three princes, is absolutely unwilling to be beaten so embarrassingly by Cao Cao, a eunuch family with a low status.

As long as there is still a chance, he can't help but want to get it all back.

On the morning of the third day, Yuan Shao and his three sons gathered the whole army in front of the battle to challenge Cao Cao.

Seeing that Yuan Shao dared to come back to seek abuse again, Cao Cao immediately mobilized his troops to fight, and the two sides faced each other on the Cangting.

"Yuan Benchu, you have exhausted your plans, why don't you think about surrendering?"

Sitting on his horse, Cao Cao pointed at Yuan Shao with his whip, and said loudly, "When my sword is on your neck, it will be too late for you to regret it."

Yuan Shao was furious when he heard this, and looked back at the generals beside him, saying: "Whoever wants to be the vanguard, help me kill Cao thief!"

Yuan Shao's third son, Yuan Shang, wanted to show himself in front of him, so he rode out after hearing this.

"Cao thief, come and die!" Yuan Shang shouted at Cao Cao imposingly.

"Who is this son?" Cao Cao asked.

Zhang He, who was beside him, said: "This is Yuan Shao's third son, Yuan Shangye! This subordinate is willing to capture him for the prime minister, so as to strengthen the army!"

"Sure!" Cao Cao nodded.

Zhang He shot out with his gun straight out, and rushed directly towards Yuan Shang.

"Traitor Zhang He, you dare to confront me? Come and die!"

Yuan Shang naturally recognized who Zhang He was, he shouted angrily, and attacked with a knife.

The distance between the two sides shortened instantly, the two cavalry intersected, their swords and guns collided, and a fight broke out.

After less than three rounds of fighting, Zhang Yun yelled angrily, and shot Yuan Shang's knife flying out of his hand.

Yuan Shang was Zhang Yun's opponent, he was startled, turned around and rode his horse to flee back, not daring to continue entanglement.

"Little thief, let's go!"

Zhang He slapped his horse and chased after him, raised his spear, and rushed to stab Yuan Shang under the horse.

Whoosh!

At this moment, a sharp piercing sound came.

Zhang He quickly reined in the reins, swung his gun to block, and a sharp arrow was shot out by him.

Looking up, Zhang Yun saw Qu Yi leading hundreds of people coming towards him, and he heard Qu Yi yell, "Protect the third son!"

The arrow just now was shot by Qu Yi, and the hundreds of people caught up with Zhang Yun in the blink of an eye.

"Junyi, I'll help you!"

Gao Lan saw that Zhang He was in danger, so he led hundreds of people out of the army to rescue Zhang He.

"Two rebels, kill them for me!"

When Yuan Shao saw Zhang Yun and Zhang He, he was furious for a while.

Among Yuan Jun, all the soldiers charged forward.

When Cao Jun saw it, the army also sent out together, and the two sides fought in a melee, and in the end it was impossible to tell the winner.

Until the afternoon of this day, the people were exhausted from the beating, and each of them asked for money to withdraw and return to the camp.

Although Yuan Shao was at a disadvantage, he did have a large number of soldiers and a large number of generals, and the four northern states were abundant in supplies.

When he was in Liyang, although Yuan Shao lost his troops and generals, he gathered a large number of soldiers to take revenge so quickly, which shows his strength.

Cao Cao was very apprehensive about Yuan Shao's background in the four northern states, and worried that delaying it would be bad for him.

"Yuan Shao is attacking again, do you have any plans to defeat him?"

After the massacre, Cao Cao quickly summoned Chen Yang and the others to discuss countermeasures in his main account.

Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Jia Xu thought hard for a long time, and finally shook their heads. Suddenly, they couldn't think of any clever plan.

When they were silent, Chen Yang said slowly: "Ambush from all sides, you can break it!"

"Zian, you have a clever plan?" Cao Cao said pleasantly.

The others listened and looked at him expectantly.

Guo Jia asked, "How to lay an ambush on all sides?"

Chen Yang said unhurriedly: "Tonight, let the prime minister lead some people to attack the camp. Of course, it is not a real sneak attack. Once Yuan Jun finds out, he will retreat immediately. At this time, Yuan Shao saw that the prime minister was also in the army. He will not let him go and chase after him, the prime minister only needs to lead Yuan Shao into our ambush."

Speaking of this, Chen Yang glanced at the generals around him, and continued: "Generals, you each lead ten teams to ambush, wait until the prime minister leads Yuan Jun into your ambush, and then attack, Yuan Jun will be chaotic, and we will win !"

"This plan is very good!"

Cao Cao thought about it for a moment, and decided to use Chen Yang's strategy to divide the troops first.

In the blink of an eye, it was night.

midnight.

Cao Cao took two personal guards, Xu Chu and Dian Wei, and led [-] troops to leave the Liyang camp and go straight to Yuan Shao's Cangting camp.

Because of this attack on the camp, Cao Cao did not deliberately hide it, and did it in a high-profile manner without being too obvious.

Before their [-] soldiers approached Yuan Jun and agreed, they had been discovered by patrolling soldiers.

"Enemy attack..."

Yuan Jun's patrolling soldiers shouted, and at this moment, the entire camp was alarmed.

Just as Yuan Shao was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard shouts from outside. He quickly walked out of the main tent to look, and said viciously: "Tie Cao, how dare you attack the barracks at night, you are here to die!"

Next, Yuan Jun launched five groups of soldiers and horses, and rushed towards Cao Cao together.

According to Chen Yang's instructions, Cao Cao did not entangle Yuan Jun. As long as they were found, they would turn around and run away.

"Tie Cao, stop leaving!"

Seeing Cao Cao's retreat, Yuan Shao's heart was ignited with flames, and he shouted: "The whole army pursues, whoever can kill Cao Cao will be rewarded with ten thousand gold, and he will be promoted to three levels in a row!"

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

This is an eternal law.

Yuan Shao's soldiers, with high morale, chased Cao Cao's army to fight.

Even Yuan Shao's three sons were forced to express themselves and pursued Cao Cao with their own soldiers.

Where there are people, there must be struggle.

Even if Yuan Tan and the others are brothers, it is no exception. They all want to be appreciated by Yuan Shao and be able to inherit the position of General.

They were thinking at the moment, if they could come back with Cao Cao's head in their hands, they would be able to show off in front of their father.

Cao Cao didn't dare to confront Yuan Jun head-on, and fought and retreated. Until dawn, they retreated to the edge of the Yellow River, where they were at a dead end.

"Prime Minister, what should we do now?" Xu Chu asked.

"There is no way out, why not fight to the death?" Cao Cao shouted.

All the soldiers turned around and rushed towards Yuan Shao.

Xu Chu and Dian Wei are the most heroic. Among the Yuan army, they are like entering the land of no one, and no one can stop them.

"Cao Cao, today is your end!"

Yuan Shao followed the army. He rode on a horse and saw Cao Cao's figure in front of him at a glance, commanding the soldiers to charge away.

"Yuan Shao, I'll give you one last chance, will you surrender now?" Cao Cao asked coldly.

"surrender?"

Yuan Shao laughed loudly and said, "You don't even look at your current situation, what qualifications do you have to make me surrender?"

"If that's the case, then it's my fault!"

Cao Cao smiled contemptuously. He waved his hand, and a soldier beside him beat the war drum, and the sound resounded through the entire river bank.

"Yuan Shao, take your life!"

Hearing the continuous sound of drums, Xia Houyuan led his troops and rushed out from the bank of the Yellow River.

At the same time, on Yuan Jun's right, Gao Lan also appeared with soldiers.
