Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 397
Outside the city, the entire army of the Xiliang army pressed up, fighting in full swing, and the city was also in chaos. After the Liangzhou army in the clashing city was dispersed, they couldn't get out of the city.

However, a sudden change occurred at this time. First, Bai Bojun took the opportunity to attack Dong Chengyang, but in the end, Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan counted both sides together.

After Xia Houyuan shot Yang Ding to death, Cao Ren killed Hu Cai, and the two surrounded and suppressed the remaining soldiers. Han Xian took the opportunity to break through and led his men to flee desperately.

When Cao Ren saw him, he led his troops to intercept Han Siam, while Xia Houyuan pursued Dong Cheng.

The four armies fought in the city. Han Siam's army and Dong Chengjun's courage was lost, and they were defeated under the attack of Cao's army.

Xia Houyuan chased after Dong Cheng closely, and killed Dong Chengjun to pieces. Seeing that he was about to catch up, he knocked out an army from inside.

Xia Houyuan took a closer look, it turned out to be Zhang Liao, his heart sank, didn't Zhang Liao guard the east gate, why did he lead troops into the city?
Seeing Dong Cheng, he hurriedly shouted: "General, save me!"

Zhang Liao let Dong Cheng go, stopped Xia Houyuan and asked, "Why did the general hunt down and kill the emperor's close ministers?"

Xia Houyuan's face froze, and he shouted: "Follow orders, don't meddle in other people's business!"

Zhang Liao said indifferently: "Whose order?"

Xia Houyuan was at a loss for words, "Of course it was in the name of the Son of Heaven. Dong Cheng colluded with the Baibo Army to hold the Son of Heaven hostage. This is a crime that cannot be punished!"

Dong Cheng tremblingly pointed at Xia Houyuan and said, "You're talking nonsense!"

"How could the emperor treat me like this?"

"I want to meet the emperor!"

After hearing this, Xia Houyuan said coldly, "Wait until I lift your head to meet the Son of Heaven!"

Dong Cheng was so frightened that he fell silent, Zhang Liao waved his gun and said, "General Dong is right, the truth will come to light after seeing the Son of Heaven."

Xia Houyuan narrowed his eyes: "Wen Hou is determined to be an enemy of Mr. Cao?"

"Does Marquis Wen also have unruly intentions towards the emperor?"

Zhang Liao said indifferently: "The Son of Heaven naturally understands what Marquis Wen is thinking."

"Who is loyal and who is treacherous, in front of the emperor, everything will be judged by the emperor."

Seeing Zhang Liao's reluctance, Xiahou couldn't help but clenched the longbow in his hand.

The night is long and the dream is full, the task assigned by Cao Cao must be completed no matter what!
Although Zhang Liao is difficult to deal with, it may not be impossible to deal with him. As long as he delays time and waits for Cao Ren to kill Han Siam and come back, he can join forces and kill Zhang Liao!

But Xia Houyuan was depressed. Zhang Liao's appearance here obviously saw through Cao Cao's plan. Is Lu Bu so smart?

Or was it caused by Youzhou Fang?

The two parties faced each other silently like this, always ready to attack violently.

Over there, Cao Ren had almost caught up with Han Siam at the gate of the city, and was rushing forward with his soldiers. Han Siam resisted desperately while letting the soldiers open the city gate.

As soon as the city gate was opened, Han Xian fled desperately to the east of the city. He wanted to meet Yang Feng and tell about Cao Cao's betrayal!

As a result, after running a few steps, an army horse outside the city had already blocked the road. It turned out that Xun You, who was sitting on the top of the city, had already seen Han Siam fleeing, gave orders on the city, and called out an ambush soldier Cao Jun had placed in advance.

There are not many people in this army, only a hundred or so, but at this time, it is very troublesome for Han Xian who escaped with dozens of people, because the other party blocked his way to vote for Yang Feng!
Seeing that Cao Ren was chasing him out of the city behind, and there were obstacles in front, Han Siam had no choice but to flee to the south. At this time, he didn't bother to inform Yang Feng.

When Cao Ren saw him, he sent dozens of cavalry to chase after Han Xian. Fearing that there would be losses in the city, he turned around and led his troops back to the city, but he saw Xia Houyuan and Zhang Liao confronting each other.

He rode his horse over and said to Xia Houyuan, "What's wrong?"

Xia Houyuan was overjoyed to see Cao Ren come back, whispered about Zhang Liao's disturbance, and said, "Let's go over now and kill him!"

"Otherwise, it will be troublesome to explain the matter of the bus agent!"

Cao Ren only hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay!"

Seeing that his opponent wanted to attack, Zhang Liao couldn't help but clenched his spear tightly. He knew that the next moment would be a fierce melee. Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan were all fierce generals of the Cao camp, and he was one-on-two, so he was not sure of surviving!

At this time, from the other side of the long street, there was the sound of countless horseshoes, approaching the three of them rapidly, and the three generals present changed their expressions immediately after hearing this.

Why is there still a cavalry army?
The soldiers and horses that can be mobilized inside and outside the city are all performing their duties. Whose soldiers are these?

Hearing the footsteps of the horseshoes, there are at least a thousand people on the other side. This force, no matter which side it is from, is enough to change the current situation!
Not long after, a cavalry army rushed over, and everyone saw that it was fighting under the banner of the Jizhou Army!

The first general rode his horse to the front of the crowd, and said in his mouth: "Zhang Yun, in Jizhou, is ordered to assist Wenhou and welcome the emperor!"

As soon as these words came out, Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan's expressions changed drastically, and they knew that the plan in the city had completely failed!

Zhang Xi is one of the fierce generals in Hebei, with a great reputation. Now that he is joining forces with Zhang Liao, the second general Cao Ying has very little hope of winning the opponent, and it is even unknown that he may even be killed by the opponent!
Zhang Liao felt relieved when he heard this, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, General Zhang!"

Cao Ren clenched the long knife in his hand, trying to make a sudden attack several times, but in the end he let go of it dejectedly.

It would be pointless even to fight next, not to mention that there was no chance of winning, even if the opponent was defeated, it would be a tragic victory. There was a third party Dong Chengjun present, and Cao Ying still couldn't take away the emperor.

For the current plan, I can only confront Xia Houyuan and lead the army, and wait for Cao Cao to win the victory outside the city and come back to preside over the overall situation.

But looking at it like this, the winner is about to be decided outside the city, right?

Yang Feng outside the city had no idea that the Baibo army in the city had been wiped out. He and Xu Huang were attacking Guo Si from left to right.

Yang Feng saw that Cao Cao's infantry were only probing around a little bit, and they didn't care to help him at all, so he couldn't help but yelled.

But this time Liu Xie appointed Cao to operate as the coach, and Yang Feng had nothing to do. He figured out that what Bai Bo's four generals had done before had seriously violated Liu Xie's bottom line, so Liu Xie wanted to set up the blank wave army and let Cao Cao make a contribution!

Yang Feng hated secretly, and when he returned to the city after the battle, he would join forces with several others to deal with Cao Cao together!
At this time, Guo Bang felt that he was getting weaker and weaker, because Xu Huang on the opposite side became more and more courageous, and Yang Feng himself was not bad in martial arts. !
Seeing that the situation was not good, he shot a feint and fled to the main formation with the cavalry. How could Yang Feng let him go, and shouted at Xu Huang: "Kill him together!"

Guo Bang ran in front, and the two chased after him. After all, Guo Bang was proficient in equestrian skills and fled back to the main formation. Xiliang soldiers blocked Xu Huang and Yang Feng. Let Li Jue join forces and defeat them together!"

In the end, the general said: "General, General Li is trapped by the opponent and cannot break through!"

"What!" Guo Bang was startled, and hurried to the front of the formation, only to find that Li Jue's flag had been surrounded by the center, and there was no conflict!

He shouted, "What's going on?"

The general replied: "Duan Yan rebelled, and surrounded General Li with the Youzhou Army!"

When Guo Si heard this, his eyes went dark, he was entangled by Yang Feng, he didn't know about Duan Yan's attack on Li Jue's rear, and he thought that if Duan Yan entered the battlefield, his side would immediately decide the victory.

Now that Duan Yao is betrayed, it will be difficult for him to escape!

He waved his hand and said, "Come with me and save Li Jue!"

In the end, no progress was made, Yang Feng and Xu Huang had already rushed in, Guo Bang was helpless, and it was worth turning back to fight.

Over there, Li Jue was entangled by Zhao Yun's spear, and seeing Duan Yan's army behind him smashing his rear army into pieces, he couldn't help saying angrily: "How dare you, thief!"

"When I get away, I'll kill you all!"

Zhao Yun didn't answer, and only pointed at Li Jue with a gun.

Seeing Li Jue and Guo Si being attacked by Duan Yan in the middle, Cao Cao couldn't help feeling relieved when his formation collapsed. This time he won almost without losing any of his strength!

In this way, if the Baibo Army and Dong Chengjun in the city are destroyed, he will become the most powerful side, and the remaining Lu Bu Yang Feng and others will not be their opponents even if they join forces!

At this moment, a spy rode into the army from behind and whispered a few words to Cao Cao. Cao Cao's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he couldn't help but look back at the city.

Did the Jizhou Army come out to disrupt the situation?
It turned out to be Zhang Yun, one of the four court pillars in Hebei. Was this sent by Yuan Shao to ruin his own affairs?

He lowered his head and thought about it. This was beyond his expectation. He thought that by tying Lu Bu to death outside the city and leaving Li Le in advance with a false military sentiment, Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan alone would be enough to wipe out all kinds of forces in the city.

At the beginning, things were in line with Cao Cao's expectations. Cao Jun killed Yang Dinghucai, drove away Han Xian, and defeated Dong Cheng, and he couldn't fault it.

Although Zhang Liao, who was guarding the east gate, came out to disrupt the situation, it was not impossible to deal with it, but with Zhang He who appeared out of nowhere, Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan had no chance of winning!

His face was gloomy, should he wait until Li Jue and Guo Si are driven away, turn his back on the city and kill Zhang Liao and Zhang Yun?
He hesitated, Zhang Yun's identity was sensitive, if he killed him, it would be tantamount to falling out with Jizhou in advance, and now is not the best time.

Damn it, why did the Jizhou army appear here!

Could it be that Yuan Shao saw through his idea of ​​serving the emperor to command the princes?
And when the battle is over, it will be too late!
Now regardless of Li Jue and Guo Si, just return to the city and kill Zhang Liao and Zhang Yun to control the emperor?

He looked towards the field, his eyes became more and more gloomy, and then he glanced at Lu Bu beside him, terrified.

I trapped Lu Bu here, but why didn't the other party catch me?

If Lu Bu were to attack suddenly, would he still be alive?

Thinking of this, cold sweat dripped down Cao Cao's back.

Jushou has already been on the top of the city, and he has been watching the things inside and outside the city from beginning to end.

He thought that sometimes it was really just right. Most of the things that happened in Anyi at present appeared in the countless deduction possibilities made by Guo Jia and Yuan Xi a long time ago.

But at this point today, many deviations have occurred. Fortunately, in the face of Cao Cao, these deduction predictions still have some effect.

The Son of Heaven was not controlled by Cao Jun, Li Jue and Guo Si were about to be defeated, Cao Cao wanted to control Lu Bu in the central army, but didn't Lu Bu also exchange sons with Cao Cao?

The situation has turned in its favor.

Of course, there are still many variables.

How much did the emperor participate in what Cao Cao did?
If the emperor is biased towards Cao Cao, then everything done here, not to mention that all previous efforts have been wasted, at least will be greatly discounted.

And if Cao Cao ignores the overall situation and enters the city to forcefully control the emperor, it is not without hope of success!

Ju Shou looked at Xun You who was at the top of the city in the distance, and happened to be looking at him from the opposite side.
