"The sergeant is exhausted and sleepy, you can take a break. (.)"

When Cao Cao heard the words, his murderous aura shot out from his eyes, and he shouted in a forceful manner.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger cub? This is a great opportunity for our army to defeat the other army in one fell swoop, how can we let it go!!"

After Cao Cao finished drinking, he rode his horse forward.Encouraged by Cao Jun, the generals and soldiers all worked hard to move forward, killing all the way.Sun Ce's remnant army, seeing Cao's army chasing after them, was so frightened that they ran away with their heads in their arms. Lu Meng's soldiers guarding the back village were moved by their own defeated soldiers, and they couldn't hold back and fled behind.By daybreak, Cao Jun captured the second village in a row.Countless military weapons and pommel horses were left in the village, all of which were recaptured by Cao Jun.

Sun Ce, Lu Meng and other generals led the remnant army and retreated into Huaiyin. In one night, the Jiangdong Army, which was originally arrogant, was wiped out by Cao Jun for nearly [-] soldiers.Moreover, Dong Xi was captured by Cao Jun, and Xu Sheng was shot by Yu Jin with an arrow.The two armies rested for two days each.Two days later, after a round of analysis, Sun Ce only found out that he had been tricked by Cao Cao's arrogance, and he was furious.

At this moment, a scout rushed to report that Cao Jun was heading for Huaiyin City.Sun Ce smiled coldly.

"The old thief doesn't know how to use soldiers. The other army has been fighting hard for days, and the soldiers are all exhausted. It is really useless to dare to fight again now! Let's see how I can beat the old thief back!"

After Sun Ce finished drinking, he wanted some soldiers to go out to fight.Lu Su hastily remonstrated.

"My lord, you can't. Right now, you should stick to it and don't act rashly!"

Before he could finish his speech, he suddenly heard the sound of the golden drum outside the city, and people reported that Cao Cao had arrived with his troops.Sun Ce's expression became even colder, and he shouted.

"The old thief doesn't know the art of war, he only relies on his brave ears! What are you afraid of!!"

"Cao Cao is scheming, but he must stop being brave. My lord, you must not underestimate the enemy!!"

Lu Su tried to persuade him again, but Sun Ce didn't listen, so he led five thousand soldiers and horses out of the city.Cao Cao assembled his troops to meet him.Seeing this, Yu Jin was anxious to remonstrate again.

"Wait a minute, my lord. The army has been fighting fiercely for days, so it's time to take a break."

When Cao Cao heard the words, he smiled resolutely.

"Otherwise, this is a gift bestowed by the gods, and it would be against the heavens not to take it. Don't worry about writing, I have a plan long ago."

After finishing his speech, Sun Ce led his troops to fight.Xiahou Dun and Le Jin had been preparing for a long time. When they saw Sun Ce, the two generals came out together to kill Sun Ce.Sun Ce fought angrily.After a while, Lu Meng patted his horse and raised his gun, and also came to help.Yu Jin shouted, danced his gun and rushed out, intercepting Lu Meng, and the two of them fought together.

Suddenly, there was a loud shout in the city, and the flames shot up into the sky, making the whole city red.Sun Ce and Lu Meng paled in shock, as if they had fallen into an ice abyss.

It turned out that two days ago, Sun Ce was defeated and fled. A group of dozens of Cao soldiers mixed into the Jiangdong remnant army and entered Huaiyin City.During the two days, these dozens of people contacted the aristocratic families in the city in private, conveying Cao Cao's orders.The Huaiyin family hated Sun Ce's tyranny, and they were all willing to obey.

And just when Sun Ce led his troops out of the city and Jiangdong's army was focusing on dealing with Cao's army, the Huaiyin family took advantage of the falsehood to rebel and set fire to the city.

When the fire broke out, the Jiangdong army in the city was in chaos.Cao Cao took advantage of the situation and swung his troops straight up, Cao Bing rushed wildly, the Jiangdong soldiers outside the city were at a loss when they saw the fire in the city, but now Cao Bing came down bravely, in a panic, they didn't care about fighting, and fled everywhere.Sun Ce and Lu Meng saw that the situation was extremely strong, so they had no choice but to flee.

After a while, Cao soldiers attacked the city with the assistance of the Huaiyin family in the city. Lu Xun led an army and fled to the north gate, while Lu Su fled to the east gate under the protection of Xu Sheng.The Jiangdong army fled in chaos. After Cao Cao captured Huaiyin City, he offered advice at the forbidden speed.

"My lord, you can send someone to guard the Huainan Passage and force Sun Ce to turn to Xiapi, so that he can be trapped to death in Xuzhou!!"

Such a person as Cao Cao had thought of setting up this game a long time ago, so he laughed with Yu Jin.

"Haha! I have been a soldier all my life, if the way of using soldiers is not as good as yours, how can I win half of the country. I have already made arrangements!"

Hearing the words, Yu Jin was stunned for a moment, and then a look of endless admiration appeared on his face.

It is said that Sun Ce lost Huaiyin, fearing to be besieged by Cao Jun, he took the road overnight to look at the border of Huainan and Jiangdong and fled.As soon as he arrived at a link, Sun Ce reined in his horse and laughed out loud. The generals were flustered, and they didn't know why.Sun Ce laughed and said that the generals said.

"Everyone in the world talks about how powerful that old thief Cao is, but I think he is just an ordinary person. If it were me, I would lay an ambush here and force our army to leave Xiapi and then besiege. Otherwise, if you wait If I retreat to Jiangdong, I will definitely make a comeback in the next day, just like letting a tiger go back to the mountain!!"

Sun Ce hadn't finished speaking when a cannon shot suddenly rang out.Just heard a loud laugh.

"Hahaha! Wu Houguo is very knowledgeable. My family Wei Wang ordered me to be here, and I have been waiting for a long time!"

I saw Jia Xu, who was wearing a blue brocade and red-patterned robe, standing in the forest with a personable demeanor, holding a red flag in his hand.In a moment, Jia Xu waved the flag, and the arrows in the forest fell like a shower, and the arrows fell like a beet, shooting Jiangdong soldiers on their backs.All around, there was even a loud drum beating, and the sound of horseshoe soldiers shaking continuously.Sun Ce's face turned pale, and he was so frightened that he subconsciously pulled his horse and ran away.The Jiangdong army fled indiscriminately, and the generals couldn't stop shouting.

The situation was such that Sun Ce had no choice but to flee to Xiapi, and the remnant soldiers from Jiangdong followed in a panic, rushing to Xiapi city in the starry night.

A few days later, Sun Ce rushed to the border of Xiapi to collect the remaining soldiers, but at this time there were only more than ten thousand troops left.While Sun Ce was in a hurry, he suddenly encountered a fast cavalry sent by Ling Tong.When Sun Ce saw the soldier's expression of extreme panic, his heart tensed up, and a trace of ominous omen enveloped his heart.Sure enough, as if he had followed Sun Ce's omen, the soldiers reported to Sun Ce that Ling Tong was defeated by Cao General Xia Houyuan and lost most of his troops.

Sun Ce's face changed drastically when he heard that, if he lost the pipi, he would have no base in Xuzhou, how would he deal with Cao Cao's tiger and wolf army! ?Sun Ce immediately ordered all the troops to rush on their way, and they must rush to rescue when Xiapi City was breached.

At this moment, Lu Xun suddenly spoke harshly and remonstrated.

"Wait a minute, my lord! In the current battle situation, if our army flees to Xiapi City, our army will not be able to resist Cao's army with our strength. If we are sleepy for a long time, we will perish. In my foolish opinion, we should go far away to Yuzhou and meet with the governor's soldiers and horses. It’s a big problem to solve!!”

When Sun Ce heard this, his face turned cold, he hesitated for a while, and retorted.

"No! The road to Yuzhou is far away, and there are many passes. In addition, we don't know where Gongjin's soldiers live. If anything happens, the whole army will be wiped out. What's more, I know that Gongji and Chengyuan are surrounded by Cao's army. How can you see that death cannot be saved!?"

Lu Xun's complexion changed, and he said anxiously.

"My lord, this is a critical juncture of life and death. Although it is dangerous to go far away from Yuzhou, there is still hope. But if you go down to Pi, you will be besieged by Cao's army. How can our army have the power to recover!?"

Lu Xun drank at the top of his lungs, Sun Ce's face was startled, his heart was in a mess, and he finally decided to say.

"Gongji and Chengyuan are my Jiangdong generals, and I am the lord of Jiangdong. If you don't save them, you will lose people's hearts! Although the current situation is dangerous, it is not certain that you will lose! Let me save Xiapi first, and then dispatch quickly Someone ordered Gongjin to send troops to rescue. At this time, the forces under Cao Cao's command were fighting fiercely in Jingzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou. Our army's battle situation in Yuzhou must be very good. Gong Jin has enough energy to spare, so send troops to rescue!"

"It's hard to put out a near fire with far water, my lord!!"

"I've made up my mind!! Stop talking!!!"

Lu Xun just wanted to remonstrate, but was stopped by Sun Ce.Seeing that Sun Ce insisted on leaving the Pi, Lu Xun hurriedly exchanged glances with Lu Su.Lu Su is a kind-hearted person, and he would never abandon his comrades, so he pretended not to see Lu Xun's eyes.Lu Xun was helpless and lamented.

Sun Ce decided to settle down and urged the army to move forward. The Jiangdong Army went straight to Xiapi overnight.It is said that Xia Houyuan trapped Ling Tong and Ding Feng to death in Xiapi, but he was not in a hurry to attack hard.

A few days later, Xia Houyuan heard that scouts reported that a Jiangdong army with a strength of about [-] was heading towards Xiapi City.After Xiahou Yuan heard this, he smiled coldly, secretly thinking that it was exactly as the king had expected, and immediately ordered the army to withdraw from the camp, retreating to a high mountain ten miles east of Xiapi City, set up camp, and wait and see what happened.

Xia Houyuan suddenly withdrew his troops, Ling Tong was puzzled, and was about to send troops to investigate.Suddenly a soldier came to report, and Sun Ce personally led the army to rescue.Ling Tong was overjoyed when he heard the news, and quickly led his soldiers to the city gate to meet him.When he was young, Sun Ce led the army to arrive, and Ling Tong and Ding Feng knelt down on the ground, accusing them of their crimes.Although Sun Ce's temperament is violent, he is extremely tolerant towards the soldiers under his command. Instead of scolding Ling Tong and Ding Feng, he comforted them with a soothing voice.Ling Tong and Ding Feng were extremely moved, and they all swore secretly that they would go through fire and water for Sun Ce in this life, and they were heartbroken!

After appeasement, Sun Ce led his troops into the city. Ling Tong told Xia Houyuan that Xia Houyuan was going to the village ten miles outside the city, but he didn't know what his intention was.

Sun Ce was hesitant when he heard the words, but Lu Su saw that Ling Tong and Ding Feng were out of danger, so he hurriedly came to remonstrate.

"My lord, the two generals are out of danger now, they should return to the army as soon as possible, return to Jiangdong, and make plans again!"

Before Lu Su could make a decision, suddenly a soldier rushed to report, under the report, Cao soldiers and horses were killed on the south, west and north sides of Pi.As soon as this report fell, all the generals in Jiangdong changed their colors.

It turned out that as early as Cao Cao Shijiao's timing, he had sent a fast cavalry to the East China Sea, and ordered Chen Deng to lead the troops from the south and west to besiege Xiapi.However, Cao Cao led his own army to take the north road, and with Xiahouyuan guarding the east, the Cao army of the four routes could be said to have surrounded the entire city of Xiapi.

Sun Ce's face changed drastically, he felt like a thunderbolt, Lu Xun rushed to attend and remonstrated.

"It's urgent now, before Cao's army reaches the city, my lord should quickly send a general to break out of the siege, and rush to Yuzhou to rescue the governor!"

"What Boyan said is very true, who dares to go!?"

As soon as Sun Ce's words fell, Pan Zhang responded with emotion and clapped his hands.

"The general wishes to go!!!"

Sun Ce fixed his eyes and was overjoyed to see that it was Pan Zhang.At present, three hundred cavalry were given to Ding Feng.Pan Zhang went to Sun Cewen, counted three hundred brave men, and rushed out of Xiapi city, looking towards Yuzhou.At the same time, Sun Ce ordered Ling Tong to lead [-] soldiers and horses to respond.

According to the scouts of Cao soldiers guarding the east, they found out, and rushed to report Xia Houyuan.Xia Houyuan heard this, but he didn't show the slightest hurry, so he gathered three thousand elite soldiers and went down the mountain to form an array to meet them.
