Cao Cao did not expect that the generals of the Yuan army opposite were so reckless, and the entire army began to attack after a disagreement.

He originally wanted to stimulate the other party with words. If the other general rushed out in anger, he could ask Dian Wei Xuchu to go up and kill the other party to encourage the morale of his soldiers.

Cao Cao had a good idea, but he couldn't resist Zhou Cang's desire to defeat Cao's army in one fell swoop.

Zhou Cang’s idea is actually very simple.

The Cao army was not yet firmly established when they first arrived. This was the time when they were most vulnerable. Many people even caught diseases due to long distances.

In this case, why can't Yuan's army, who is waiting for work, defeat Cao's army?

Besides, the remaining remaining soldiers of Cao's army were only more than 30,000 defeated generals, and there were also 30,000 soldiers with strong soldiers on their own. There was not much difference in number between the two sides.

In this case, Zhou Cang thought that his soldiers would have a more advantage.

So he told Pei Yuanshao long before going to the battle that once Zhou Cang rushed forward, Pei Yuanshao would have to fight with his soldiers.

Pei Yuanshao, as Zhou Cang's good brother, had a life-long friendship with Zhou Cang, and Zhou Cang fully believes that Pei Yuanshao will do things according to his instructions.

This is true. When Pei Yuanshao saw Zhou Cang rushing up, he led his troops to kill him without thinking too much.

Seeing Yuan Jun rushing over, Cao Cao also calmed down his mood after the initial annoyance.

He knew that although his troops under his command were not suitable for immediate combat, it did not mean that they could not!

Compared with the weak brigades who died in Xuzhou, the ones who can still follow themselves now are definitely the elite troops in the army!

Cao Cao believed that even if the elite under his command were in poor condition, he would definitely beat Yuan Jun, who had known the fish and the people all day long!

"Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xu Chu, Dian Wei!" Cao Cao shouted angrily.

"The last one is here!" The four of them responded loudly.

"I'm going to order you to lead your army to rush to kill, and be sure to defeat the thief army!"

"The last general will receive the order!"

After the four of them received the order, Cao Ren led the charge against the oncoming Yuan army.

"kill!"

In an instant, Cao's army rushed up like a tide.

Among the crowd, Cao Ren's most powerful war horse was excellent, so he was the first Cao army general to rush to Zhou Cang.

"The thief is killed!" Cao Ren roared and slashed the front of Zhou Cang with a big knife in his hand.

On the other side.

Although Zhou Cang was born as a bandit, he has experienced a lot of wars, big and small, over the years. He has long turned his dealer into a fatal move.

Facing Cao Ren's blade, Zhou Cang's expression remained unchanged, and the big knife knocked away Cao Ren's blade with one collision.

"when!"

A spark flashed through the collision weapon, and both sides instantly passed by.

Cao Ren and Zhou Cang, who failed to cause harm to each other, did not choose to stay.

When the two of them passed by, they each carried big swords and rushed towards the enemy camp.

Zhou Cang and Cao Ren met Xu Chu, who was as strong as a mountain, behind him.

Zhou Cang was instinctively afraid of Xu Chu, but considering that the local general Cao Ren's force was "not that", he was confident that his face was fierce and he met the aggressive Xu Chu.

"Zhou Cang is here, how dare you block my way!"

As he shouted, Zhou Cang's big sword slashed at Xu Chu hard, trying to divide Xu Chu into two.

However, before Zhou Cang's sword could fall, Xu Chu's big sword fell on Zhou Cang from bottom to top.

"puff!"

The blade passed by, and Zhou Cang shot out a cluster of blood mist on his upper body.

With a knife, Xu Chu didn't even look at Zhou Cang behind him and rushed towards Yuan Jun in front.

At this moment, the vicious Xu Chu had already scared the group of Yuan troops in front.

"General Zhou was beheaded!"

"General Zhou was killed by an enemy general!"

"Run quickly, the enemy general is here!"

The Yuan army in the front row was extremely panicked, and the Yuan army in the back row was still rushing to fight. The entire Yuan army camp had gradually lost its formation due to their respective mutual squeezes.

Even Pei Yuanshao, who was rushing in front of the formation, was frightened to his death after seeing Zhou Cang being killed with one knife.

Zhou Cang's strength is higher than Pei Yuanshao, and even Zhou Cang was killed with one knife. How could Pei Yuanshao defeat the opponent?

Seeing that Cao Ren had rushed in front of him, Pei Yuanshao had lost the intention to resist.

"withdraw!"

With a command, Pei Yuanshao took advantage of the fact that the two armies had not yet been mixed together and ran to the side.

Pei Yuanshao's actions shocked the Yuan army generals who were charging behind him.

However, before they could react, Cao Ren's butcher knife had already fallen on their heads.

For a moment, screams and begging for mercy were everywhere in Yuan’s camp.

With just one contact, Yuan Jun's defeat was already doomed.

......

Yangzhou, Yuan Shao’s base camp.

Since Liu Bei came to surrender, Yuan Shao's little thoughts have become active.

Although Liu Bei is useless, his identity and fame are of some use to Yuan Shao.

Of course, how to use Liu Bei's identity and reputation depends on Yuan Shao's own choice.

After receiving the battle report from Changyi, Yuan Shao called Liu Bei over immediately.

Soon, Liu Bei was led by his servant to Yuan Shao's mansion.

At this time, Liu Bei had completely replaced himself as Yuan Shao's minister, and he did not dare to neglect at all in the face of Yuan Shao's summoning.

Yuan Shao was very satisfied when he saw Liu Bei hurriedly following his servant.

Once upon a time, Liu Bei was also a character who was neither humble nor arrogant in front of the eighteen princes, but now he surrendered to his feet like a loyal dog. This feeling was somewhat pleasant.

After being proud, Yuan Shao called Liu Bei to the lobby of the mansion.

"Xuande, sit down." Yuan Shao signaled Liu Bei to sit down.

Liu Bei bowed respectfully and then sat down on the side.

After Liu Bei sat down, a maid soon brought her hot tea.

After the maid went down, Yuan Shao spoke: "Xuande, do you know what I'll teach you today?"

Liu Bei, who was thinking secretly, quickly straightened his body and bowed to Yuan Shao.

"I don't know, so please let Mr. Yuan make a clear statement."

Yuan Shao smiled and then handed over the secret letter in his hand to Liu Bei by the maid.

"This is a war report sent by my people from Changyi. You can take a look first."

Liu Bei took the battle report handed over by his maid and read it carefully.

After a moment, the expression on Liu Bei's face became extremely strange and looked a little unbelievable.

"Xuande, tell me what you think about this battle report." Yuan Shao said with a smile.

Liu Bei had recovered his calm face at this time. When facing Yuan Shao's question, he just bowed respectfully and replied: "Report to Mr. Yuan, I think the general was careless this time. Cao's army came from afar, even if they joined forces with Zhang Xiu's army, they should be guarding the city and waiting for reinforcements, otherwise they would not be defeated like that."

Yuan Shao nodded in recognition after hearing this: "What Xuande said is, the 30,000 elite soldiers were blindly arrogant and mistrusted by villains on the road, and eventually ended up with a tragic ending of not one or more."

"And you have also seen that now Cao's army and Zhang Xiu's Xiliang army have joined forces to approach Changyi. They obviously want to force the highway to withdraw from Yanzhou, but they don't know if the highway will have another big battle with the Cao's army in Changyi."

By the way, Yuan Shao hoped that Yuan Shu would fight to the death with Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu in Changyi, only in this way could he plot against Yuan Shu's territory.

But Yuan Shao also knew that once Yuan Shu consumed all the elite soldiers in Yanzhou, the territory they had just controlled would have the possibility of falling apart. Yuan Shu couldn't see through this, and Yan Xiang beside Yuan Shu should be able to see.

However, Yuan Shu is occasionally a little too radical, and sometimes even Yan Xiang may not persuade him.

In any case, Yuan Shu was frustrated in Changyi and only had no harm to Yuan Shao.

"Xuande thought that if the highway had another battle with Xing and Zhang Xiu in Changyi, what would the people in the places protected by our Yuan family be affected?"

Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this. He wanted to say that you Yuan family is the biggest involvement of the people under your rule.

However, it is hard to say whether he can survive today as soon as he said this. How could Liu Bei seek death so easily with a plan of revenge?

After pondering for a moment, Liu Bei spoke again.

"Report to Duke Yuan, let's go to the next step, Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Pan Feng in Xuzhou may eventually pose a threat to the people under the Yuan family."

"Oh? Xuande said it in detail."
