Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Yuan Shu looked at the bound Liu Qi and said proudly, "Liu Qi, you never expected that you would fall into my hands."

Liu Qi stared at Yuan Shu and said with gritted teeth: "Yuan Shao, you thief, don't even think about taking over the Han Dynasty."

"Do you think I will give you another chance? Liu Qi, just go with peace of mind. I will take good care of Cao Cao and Sun Ce." Yuan Shu laughed cruelly.

"Yuan Shu, you bastard, you dare to harm His Majesty. I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!" Liu Qi roared.

"You should think about how to survive now!" Yuan Shu ordered: "Come here, take Liu Qi away and lock him up. We will deal with him tomorrow."

"I obey your command!" Several soldiers dragged Liu Qi away.

"Liu Qi, you coward, I will collect the rest of your troops first. When I take over Nanjun, I will send your father to accompany you!" Yuan Shu said with a sinister smile.

Zhang Lu commanded his troops to continue attacking Liu Qi's troops.

Zhang Lu led his troops to attack Liu Qi. Seeing Liu Qi's embarrassed appearance, Zhang Lu sneered.

"As expected, he is vulnerable. With this little strength, he actually wants to be the emperor! This is simply wishful thinking."

"You useless idiot, don't be too happy too soon." Liu Qi gritted his teeth and said, "My reinforcements will arrive soon, and then you will taste the bitter fruit."

"Haha, you mean the reinforcements? I'm afraid they are just a bunch of rabble. A few thousand people are not enough for me to fill my teeth!"

Zhang Lu laughed and said, "Only a loser like you would keep his promise."

"Hmph, who will win and who will lose will be revealed tomorrow!" said Liu Qi.

Zhang Lu ignored Liu Qi and led his soldiers to attack the remaining troops of Liu Qi.

Yuan Shu's army had the upper hand, and Liu Qi's men were defeated one after another, and finally had no choice but to retreat.

Zhang Lu ordered the pursuing soldiers to stop chasing and prepare to wipe out Liu Qi's remaining troops.

But Liu Qi's men retreated too quickly, leaving Zhang Lu empty-handed.

"Damn it!" Zhang Lu cursed.

"Don't be upset, my lord. Liu Qi is trapped in a jar. We can wipe him out at any time, and then all his cities will belong to you." Zhang Ji advised.

Zhang Lu sighed and said, "Alas, this defeat may affect our attack on Xuzhou."

Xuzhou is too close to Yanzhou. Zhang Ji said worriedly: "My lord, there is no rush for Liu Qi. Cao Ang's child is a greater threat."

Zhang Ji reminded: "My lord, Cao Ang has already taken over Beihai State and Jizhou.

And I heard that Youzhou is also in his pocket. If he is allowed to take control of Jizhou smoothly, the future situation will be unpredictable."

"I understand. Don't worry, Cao Ang is not destined to own three states." Yuan Shu said confidently.

"My lord is wise." Zhang Ji said respectfully.

While Zhang Ji and Yuan Shu were discussing Cao Ang, Xu Shu had already arrived in Xu County with his cavalry.

Xu Shu saw that the walls of Xu County were densely packed with Yuan Shu's soldiers.

"General Xu, what should we do now?" Zhao Yun asked.

"Keep your troops in place for now." Xu Shu said.

"But Yuan Shu's army has already deployed its battle formation. If we attack rashly, it would be extremely dangerous." Lu Bu frowned and said.

Xu Shu laughed and said, "Yuan Shu is trying to scare us. Don't worry. Yuan Shu doesn't have any troops right now."

"Oh?" Lu Bu said in surprise.

"Fengxiao and Kongming should have told you." Xu Shu said with a smile.

Lu Bu and Dian Wei both nodded and said, "Yuan Zhi and Gong Tai did tell us something."

"Since Yuan Shu doesn't have any powerful troops, what do we have to fear?" Zhao Yun said arrogantly, "Even if there are more than a million soldiers ambushing outside the city, we are not afraid!"

Lu Bu and Dian Wei nodded in agreement. Xu Shu saw the reactions of the crowd and said with a smile, "I know what you want to do.

We don't need to confront Yuan Shu head-on, we just need to contain Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu wants to consume Liu Qi's troops, so let him do it, and we will just take advantage of it."

"My lord, do you mean that we pretend to attack to attract Yuan Shu's attention, and then we take the opportunity to attack Xu County?" Zhao Yun asked.

Xu Shu smiled and said, "Yes, this is the best way at the moment. Otherwise, with our current military strength, if we forcefully attack Xu County, we will probably suffer heavy losses."

"My lord, this will increase our pressure a lot." Dian Wei frowned.

Xu Shu said calmly: "The greater the pressure, the better it is for us. Our army only needs to feint an attack, and as for Yuan Shu, leave it to the lord to deal with."

Lu Bu and Dian Wei thought that what Xu Shu said was right, so they agreed.

Zhao Yun immediately led the cavalry to attack the gate of Xu County.

When Yuan Shu in Xu County saw the cavalry in the distance, his face changed drastically. He recognized Zhao Yun's flag, who was the most favored general of Cao Ang.

"Go and inform Gongtai quickly!" Yuan Shu said anxiously.

"Yes!" A messenger ran towards Chen Gong.

Chen Gong, who was inspecting the food and grass, changed his expression slightly when he heard the report from the messenger.

Chen Gong hurriedly found Yuan Shu and said hastily: "My lord, the enemy has attacked Xu County!"

"What?" Yuan Shu almost fell off his seat, and stood up hastily, asking, "The enemy is coming aggressively, have you found out their strength?"

"Not yet!" Chen Gong replied.

"What are you standing there for? Send someone to stop the enemy." Yuan Shu shouted.

Yuan Shu was really panicked now, because Cao Ang's subordinates were cavalry.

The combat effectiveness of the cavalry is much stronger than that of the infantry. Once the cavalry launches a charge, Yuan Shu will be unable to organize a defense at all.

"My lord, the enemy's number is not large, we still have a chance." Chen Gong advised.

Yuan Shu calmed down. Although Cao Ang had cavalry in the battle, he also had cavalry on his side. The two sides were fighting each other, and it was not certain who would win.

Yuan Shu immediately called over several generals and said, "Take 500 elite soldiers and stop the enemy cavalry. Don't let them rush into the city!"

After receiving the order, several generals went out with their respective 500 soldiers.

Yuan Shu still has 5,000 soldiers on his side, and they are there to protect Yuan Shu's safety.

When Yuan Shu saw the enemy cavalry, he was completely stunned. He had never encountered such a large cavalry regiment.

"Kill!" Zhao Yun set his eyes on Yuan Shu at first sight, and he decided to capture the thief and the leader.

Zhao Yun rode his horse towards Yuan Shu, followed closely by five thousand cavalrymen.

Yuan Shu knew about Zhao Yun's bravery, but he was not afraid at all.

"Archers, aim at Zhao Yun and shoot!" Yuan Shu shouted.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh." Yuan Shu's archers pulled their bowstrings to their full potential, and sharp arrows flew through the air towards Zhao Yun.

The warhorse under Zhao Yun's crotch felt the pain, neighed, and ran away wildly, avoiding the sharp arrow flying towards it.

Then Zhao Yun shouted angrily: "Charge!"

Zhao Yun took the lead in launching the charge, and the cavalry behind him followed closely.

"Shoot!" Yuan Shu's personal guards shouted.

Suddenly, countless arrows rained down on Zhao Yun and his companions, who hurriedly raised their shields to block them. (End of this chapter)
