Cao Cao took advantage of Yuan Shao's defeat to reorganize his army and pursue him. Yuan Shao, wearing a turban and unlined garment, led more than 800 cavalry to the north of Liyang.

On the shore, General Jiang Yiqu came out of the camp to meet him. Yuan Shao told Liu Yiqu about the previous incident. Yiqu then summoned the scattered people, they heard that Yuan Shao was still alive, but also like ants.

Gather. The army was revived and discussed returning to Jizhou. On the second day of the army's march, he spent the night in a barren mountain. Yuan Shao heard a cry in the distance from his tent, so he went to listen privately. but

The defeated soldiers gathered together and told each other the pain of losing their brothers, their companions, and their relatives. They beat their chests and cried, saying: "If we listen to Tian Feng's words, we will…

How could I have suffered such a disaster?" Yuan Shao was very remorseful."I didn't listen to Tian Feng," he said,"and I was defeated. If I go back now, how can I face him?”time

One day, when he was on his horse, Feng Ji led his army to meet him. Yuan Shao said to Feng Ji,"I did not listen to Tian Feng's advice, which led to my defeat. I'm going back now,

I'm ashamed to see this person." Feng Ji then said,"When I heard of your defeat in prison, I clapped my hands and laughed. As expected!" Yuan Shaoda

"How dare you laugh at me?" he said angrily. I must kill him!" So he ordered the messenger to take the sword to kill Tian Feng in Jizhou prison.

Tian Feng was in prison. One day the warder came to see Feng and said,"Congratulations to the other driver.”"What is there to celebrate?" asked Feng. Warder

"General Yuan has been defeated and has returned. You must be very grateful to him.”"I'm dead now," said Feng with a smile. The jailer asked,"All men are kings

Xi, why did you say you were going to die?" "General Yuan is generous on the outside, but he is jealous on the inside. He has no loyalty. If you were happy after winning, you could still forgive me.

If you don't, I'll be ashamed. I don't want to live." The jailer did not believe it. Suddenly an emissary came with a sword and gave Yuan Shao's order to cut off Tian Feng's head. The jailer was surprised. Feng

"I knew I would die," said the man. The jailers wept. Feng said,"A true man is born between heaven and earth, and serves his master without knowing him. This is nothing.

This is wisdom! I'll die today. What's there to regret?" So he committed suicide in prison. Later generations have a poem saying,"Yesterday the imperial court gave the army a loss, today the field is abundant

He died in prison. The pillars of Hebei have been broken, how can the country not be destroyed in the beginning!”After Tian Feng died, everyone who heard about it sighed with regret.

When Yuan Shao returned to Jizhou, he was so upset that he ignored the government affairs. His wife, Liu, advised him to make an heir. Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan, also known as Xiansi.

He went out to guard Qingzhou, and his second son Yuan Xi, also known as Xianyi, went out to guard Youzhou. Yuan Shao's third son, Yuan Shang, also known as Xianfu, was the son of Yuan Shao's wife Liu. He was born with a handsome appearance.

Yuan Wei, Yuan Shao loved him very much, so he kept him by his side. After the defeat of Guandu, Liu advised Yuan Shang to be the heir, so Yuan Shao and Shen Pei, Feng Ji,

Xin Ping, Guo Tu four people to discuss, the original Shen, Feng two people, to assist Yuan Shang; Xin and Guo served as assistants to Yuan Tan, while the other four served as assistants to Yuan Tan.

Lord. Yuan Shao said to the four,"Now that the foreign invasion has not subsided, we must decide on the internal affairs as soon as possible. I will discuss the selection of heirs. The eldest son, Tan, is human.

He was killed, and his second son, Liu Xi, was soft and cowardly, difficult to succeed. The three sons, Shang, have the appearance of heroes. They are respectful to the wise and respect the scholars. I want to establish them as kings. What do you think?

What?" Guo Tu replied,"Of the three, Tan is the eldest, and now he is outside. If you abolish the old and appoint the young, it will be the beginning of chaos. Now the military might is weak

Defeat, the enemy soldiers pressed the border, how can we let father and son brothers fight for chaos? My lord, you should consider the strategy of resisting the enemy for the time being. Don't overthink the matter of choosing an heir.

Consider." Yuan Shao hesitated. Suddenly he reported that Yuan Xi had come from Youzhou with 60,000 troops. Yuan Tan led 50,000 troops from Qingzhou. nephew Gao gan

He also led 50,000 troops from Bingzhou and went to Jizhou to help. Yuan Shao was very happy and reorganized his horse to fight Cao Cao. At that time, Cao Cao led the victorious soldiers to display their strength.

On the bank of the Yellow River, a local man came to meet him with food and water. Cao Cao saw several elders with white hair and beard, so he ordered them to sit in the tent and asked them:

"How old is this old man?" "Nearly a hundred years old," replied the man. Cao Cao said,"My soldiers have disturbed your village, and I am very uneasy.”fathers

"During the reign of Emperor Huan, a yellow star appeared at the boundary between the State of Chu and the State of Song. Yin Kui, a native of Liaodong, was well versed in astronomy and spent the night here. Huang

The stars appear in the sky and shine here. Fifty years later, there will be a real person rising between Liang and Pei. It has been fifty years now. Yuan

At the beginning, he levied heavy taxes on the people, and the people resented him. The Prime Minister raised a benevolent and righteous army to comfort the people and punish the criminals. In the battle of Guandu, he defeated Yuan Shao's millions of troops.

At that time, Yin Kui said that the people could expect peace.”"How dare you take my words seriously?" said Cao Cao with a smile.”So he took wine, food, silk and silk and gave them to the old man

Send him away. "If anyone goes to the countryside to kill chickens or dogs, he shall be punished as a murderer!”So the army and the people were shocked and convinced. Cao Yi's heart is dark

Happy. It was reported that Yuan Shao had gathered an army of 200,000 to 300,000 from four prefectures and had marched to Cangting to camp. Cao Cao led his troops forward and the camp was settled. The next day, two

The two armies faced each other and arranged themselves in battle array. Cao Cao led his generals out of the battle, while Yuan Shao led his three sons and one nephew, as well as civil officials and generals, to the front of the battle. Cao Cao said,"The beginning

At the end of his rope, why not surrender? It's too late to regret when the knife is on your neck!”Yuan Shao was furious. He looked back at his generals and said,"Who dares to come out?

Horses?" Yuan Shang wanted to show off in front of his father, so he brandished his double swords and galloped out of the array. Cao Cao pointed to his generals and asked,"Who is this?”

"He is Yuan Shang, the third son of Yuan Shao," replied a knowledgeable man.”Before he had finished speaking, a general had come out with a spear. Cao Cao saw that it was Shi Huan, one of Xu Huang's generals.

That's right. The two cavalry met, but did not meet three times, but still pulled out the spurs and fled diagonally. Shi Huan rushed over. Yuan Shang picked up his bow and loaded an arrow. He turned around and shot from behind, hitting Shi Huan.

Left eye, fell off the horse and died. Yuan Shao saw that his son had won, so he waved his whip and pointed. A large group of people rushed over. A chaotic battle ensued, and everyone shouted gold coins.

The army returned to camp.

Cao Cao discussed with his generals how to defeat Yuan Shao. Cheng Yu suggested an ambush on all sides and persuaded Cao Cao to retreat to the Yellow River. He set up an ambush for ten teams to lure Yuan Shao to pursue.

On the river, he said,"Our army has no way out. We will fight to the death and defeat Yuan Shao."”Cao Cao agreed. Five teams on each side. Left: Team One Xia Hou

Zhang Dun, Zhang Liao of the second team, Li Dian of the third team, Le Jin of the fourth team and Xiahou Yuan of the fifth team. On the right: Cao Hong of the first team, Zhang He of the second team, Xu Huang of the third team.

The fourth team was in the palace, and the fifth team was high. Xu Chu of the central army was the vanguard. The next day, ten teams went in first, and the ambush was set. In the middle of the night, Cao Cao ordered Xu

Chu led his troops forward and pretended to rob the camp. Yuan Shao's five battalions rose together. Xu Chu returned to the army and left. Yuan Shao led his army and shouted,

When dawn came, they rushed to the river. Cao Cao's army had no way out. Cao Cao shouted,"There is no way out. Why don't you fight to the death?”Zhong

The army turned around and pushed forward. Xu Chu led the way and killed more than a dozen generals. Yuan Shao's army was in chaos. Yuan Shao withdrew his army and hurried back. Cao Cao's army caught up behind him.

In the middle of the line, a drum sounded. Xiahou Yuan on the left and Gao Lan on the right rushed out. Yuan Shao gathered his three sons and one nephew and fled on a bloody road.

After walking less than ten li, Yue Jin on the left and Yu Jin on the right rushed out, killing Yuan Shao's army everywhere, blood flowing into a canal. After a few more miles,

Li Dian on the left and Xu Huang on the right, the two armies attacked. Yuan Shao and his son were frightened and fled to the old camp. He ordered the three armies to prepare food and was about to wait

At dinner, Zhang Liao on the left and Zhang He on the right came straight to the camp. Yuan Shao hurriedly mounted his horse and fled to Cangting. The men and horses were tired and wanted to rest.

When Cao Cao's army arrived, Yuan Shao fled. Cao Hong on the right and Xiahou Dun on the left blocked their way. Yuan Shao shouted,

"If we don't fight to the death, we will definitely be captured!”They fought hard to break out of the siege. Yuan Xi and Gao Gan were both wounded by arrows. The army and horses were almost dead

It's over. Yuan Shao hugged his three sons and wept bitterly. He fainted unconsciously. Everyone tried to save him, but Yuan Shao kept vomiting blood and sighed."I've fought dozens of battles

He did not expect to be in such a sorry state today! This is God's death! Go back to your state and swear to fight Cao Cao!”He taught Xin Ping and Guo

Tu urgently followed Yuan Tan to Qingzhou to reorganize, fearing that Cao Cao would invade the border. He ordered Yuan Xi to return to Youzhou and Gao Gan to return to Bingzhou. Go and pack up

Horses, ready for use. Yuan Shao led Yuan Shang and others to Jizhou to recuperate, and ordered Yuan Shang, Shen Pei and Feng Ji to temporarily take charge of the military. Cao Cao grew up in the granary pavilion

After the victory, he rewarded the three armies and sent people to investigate the actual situation of Jizhou. The spy reported,"Yuan Shao is ill in bed. Yuan Shang and Shen Pei guarded the city. Yuan

Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Gao Gan returned to the state.”Everyone advised Cao Cao to attack as soon as possible. Cao Cao replied,"Jizhou has a great supply of food, and Shen Pei is resourceful.

It can be pulled out quickly. Now that the crops are in the fields, I am afraid it will destroy the people's industry. It is not too late to take them after the autumn harvest.”Just as they were discussing the matter, a letter from Xun Yu suddenly arrived.

He said,"Liu Bei has gathered tens of thousands of troops from Liu Pi and Gong Du in Runan. When he heard that the Prime Minister had led an army to Hebei, he ordered Liu Pi to guard Runan and Liu Bei to personally go to the capital.

He led his troops to attack Xuchang. Prime Minister, you can quickly return to the army to resist." Cao Cao was shocked and left Cao Hong to station troops on the bank of the Yellow River. I'm proud of myself

The army went to Runan to meet Liu Bei. Liu Bei, together with Guan Zhong, Zhang Xuan and Zhao Yun, was about to attack the capital. As they approached Rang Mountain, they met Cao Cao's army.

Liu Bei went to Rang Mountain to camp and divided his troops into three teams. Commander Yun stationed his troops in the southeast corner, Zhang Fei stationed his troops in the southwest corner, and Liu Bei and his men were stationed in the southeast corner.

Zhao Yun set up a camp due south. When Cao Cao's army arrived, Liu Bei beat drums and shouted. Cao Cao arranged himself in a battle array and called Liu Bei to speak. Xuande rode on the gate flag

Down. Cao Cao pointed the whip at him and cursed,"I have treated you as a distinguished guest. Why do you betray your duty and forget your kindness?”Liu Bei said,"You are the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, but you are the true ruler of the country.

Battle. Behind Liu Bei, Zhao Yun raised his spear and went out. The two generals fought thirty rounds and were evenly matched. Suddenly, a loud shout rang out. In the southeast corner, the clouds grew.

In the southwest corner, Zhang Fei led his army to fight. The three places attacked together. Cao Cao's army was exhausted from afar and could not resist. They were defeated.

And left. Liu Bei returned to camp victorious.

The next day, he sent Zhao Yun to fight again. Cao Cao's army did not go out for ten days. Liu Bei sent Zhang Fei to fight again, but Cao Cao's army did not go out. Liu Bei became more and more suspicious. suddenly

When Liu Bei heard that Gong Du had arrived with food, he was surrounded by Cao Cao's army. Liu Bei immediately sent Zhang Fei to rescue him. Suddenly he reported that Xiahou Dun had led his army to attack Runan from behind.

"If that's the case," he said in alarm,"I'll be attacked from front to back, and I'll have nowhere to go.”He quickly sent Yun Chang to rescue him. Both armies left. In less than a day, a flying horse came

He reported that Xiahou Dun had broken Runan, Liu Pi abandoned the city and fled, and Liu Yunchang was now surrounded. Xuande was shocked. He also reported that Zhang Fei had gone to save Gong Du and was also killed.

Surrounded. Liu Bei was anxious to withdraw his troops, but he was afraid that Cao Cao's troops would attack later. Suddenly there was a report that Xu Chu was fighting outside the camp. Liu Bei did not dare to go out to fight. He waited until dawn to teach the soldiers.

The soldiers ate their fill, and the infantry rose first, followed by the cavalry. The soldiers in the camp passed on the news of the change. Liu Bei and the others left the camp for a few miles and turned around the earth mountain. The torches were lit up.

At dawn, a loud cry came from the top of the mountain,"Don't let Liu Bei go! The Prime Minister is waiting here!" Liu Bei hurried away. Zhao Yun said,"My lord, do not

Worry, but follow me." Zhao Yun, with his spear in hand, galloped his horse and opened a path for Liu Bei. Liu Bei drew his double-edged sword and followed him. During the battle. Xu Chu caught up with Zhao.

Yun Li Battle. Behind him, Yu Jin and Li Dian arrived. Liu Bei saw that the situation was dangerous and fled. Hearing the shouts behind him fade away, Xuande looked into the remote mountains.

On the road, he fled alone.

At dawn, a large army rushed out from the side. Liu Xuande was shocked and saw that it was Liu Pi with more than 1,000 defeated cavalry escorting Liu Bei's family.

Sun Qian. Jian Yong and Mi Fang also arrived and reported,"Xiahou Dun's army is very strong, so they abandoned the city and fled. Cao Cao's soldiers rushed over and were lucky enough to find

I have to take it off because it's long blocked." "Where is Commander Yun now?" asked Liu Bei.”Liu Pi said,"General, let's go first. We'll deal with it later.

Yes." After walking a few miles, a stick and drum sounded, and a group of people rushed out in front of them. The leading general, Zhang Tai, shouted,""Liu Bei, get off quickly!

Ma Shou surrendered!" Just as Liu Bei was about to retreat, he saw the red flag on the top of the mountain waving. An army rushed out from the mountain dock, led by Gao Lan.

That's right. Liu Bei had nowhere to go. He looked up to the sky and shouted,"Why did the heavens put me in such an embarrassing situation? Since things have come to this, it's better to die!" I want to draw my sword

He committed suicide, but Liu Pi quickly stopped him, saying,"Allow me to fight to the death to save you.”Then he came to confront Gao Lan. I can't fight three rounds, I'm high

Wang Lan cut the horse with a knife.

Liu Bei was in a panic and was about to fight himself when Gao Lan's rear army suddenly fell into disarray. A general rushed into the battle. When the spear was raised, Gao Lan fell off his horse. optic

This is Zhao Yun. Liu Bei was overjoyed. Liu Yun galloped forward with his spear, killed the rear troops, and came to fight Zhang Tai alone. Tai and Yun fought for more than thirty years

At the end of the meeting, he turned his horse and fled in defeat. Liu Yun took advantage of the situation to rush forward, but was blocked by Tai Bing mountain pass, the road is narrow can not go out. On the way, I saw Yunchang and Guan Yu.

Chen Ping and Zhou Cang led 300 troops to attack. The two of them attacked each other and killed Zhang Tai. Each of them went out of the pass and occupied a camp under the dangerous mountain. Xuande sent Yunchang to find Zhang

Fly. Zhang Fei had gone to save Gong Du, but he had been killed by Xiahou Yuan. Fei tried his best to kill Xiahou Yuan, but Yue Jin led him away.

The army surrounded them. On the long road, he met a defeated army and followed it. He killed Yue Jin and returned to see Liu Bei with Yue Fei.

It was reported that Cao Cao's army was on its way. Liu Bei instructed Sun Qian and the others to protect the young and the old. Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Yu, and Zhao Yun were at the rear. They fought while they were at it.

Let's go. Seeing that Liu Bei had gone far, Cao Cao withdrew his troops and did not chase him. Liu Bei's defeated army of less than 1,000 fled in panic. He went to a river and called the locals to ask him.

It's the Han River. Liu Bei temporarily set up camp. The locals knew it was Liu Bei, so they offered sheep wine and gathered on the beach to drink. Liu Bei sighed and said,"Gentlemen,

They all had the ability to assist the king, but unfortunately followed Liu Bei. Liu Bei's life is difficult, implicating you. I'm afraid I'll make a mistake if I don't stand up today. Jun and other

Why not abandon Liu Bei and join a wise monarch to gain fame?”Everyone covered their faces and wept. "You're wrong, brother," said Guan Yu. In the past, Gaozu and Xiang Yu

He fought for the world and was defeated by Guan Yu many times. Later, he won the battle of Jiuli Mountain and established a foundation of 400 years. Victory and defeat are the rules of war, how can you destroy it yourself?

Zhi!" Sun Qian said,"There is a time for success or failure. This place is not far from Jingzhou. Liu Jingsheng is in charge of nine counties, with strong troops and sufficient food.

You and I are both relatives of the Han Dynasty. Why don't you go and join them?”"But I'm afraid it won't do," said Liu Bei. "I would like to go and speak to him first," said Qian,"so that he may be able to see

Liu Bei was overjoyed and ordered Sun Qian to go to Jingzhou at night. After the ceremony, Liu Biao asked: "Duke

Why did you follow Xuande here?" "You are a hero of the world," said Liu Qian."Although you have few soldiers and generals, you are determined to help the country. Runan Liu

Liu Pi and Liu Gong had no relatives or friends at all, so they also died to repay them. Ming Gong and you are both descendants of the Han Dynasty. Now that you've just been defeated, you're going to Jiangdong to join your grandson.

Zhongmou. Li Qian arrogated to himself that he should not betray his relatives and alienate them. General Liu of Jingzhou respected the wise and corporal, and the scholars attached themselves to him like water pouring eastward, let alone the same clan.

What? Therefore, the envoy sent Qian Xian to pay his respects. I will obey your orders." "Liu Bei is my younger brother," said Liu Biao. I've long wanted to meet, but I can't

Yes. It's my honor to be here today!" "No," said Cai Mao. Liu Bei followed Lu Bu first, followed Cao Cao later, and recently joined Yuan Shao.

All of them did not end well, enough to show their character. If we accept him now, Cao Cao will certainly send troops to attack us, and we will be at war for nothing. It's better to cut off Sun Qian's head and present it to the court.

Cao Cao, Cao Cao will treat you well." Sun Qian said seriously,"I am not a man who fears death. Liu Shijun is loyal to the country, unlike Cao Cao and Yuan.

Yuan Shao, Lu Bu and others are like this. I had no choice but to follow him. Now I heard that General Liu is a descendant of the Han Dynasty. He is of the same clan, so he is willing to work together thousands of miles. What about you?

Are you so jealous of a wise man?" When Liu Biao heard this, he rebuked Cai Mao, saying,"I have made up my mind.”Cai Mao was ashamed and resentful.

Liu Biao then ordered Sun Qian to report to Liu Bei, while he personally went out of the city to meet him. When Liu Bei saw the memorial, he was very respectful. The table is also waiting for you

Very generous. Liu Bei led Guan Zhong and Zhang Xuan to pay their respects to Liu Biao. Liu Biao and Liu Bei entered Jingzhou together and were given a courtyard to live in. Cao Cao's exploration of mystery

Murong De had gone to Jingzhou to defect to Liu Biao, so he wanted to lead his troops to attack Liu Biao. Cheng Yu said,"Yuan Shao has not yet been removed, and he is attacking Jingxiang. If Yuan Shao comes from the north,

If you get up, it's hard to tell who's going to win. It would be better to return to Xudu, recuperate and accumulate elite troops. When spring comes next year, we will first defeat Yuan Shao and then take Jingzhou.

Xiang Yu said: The benefits of the north and south can be recovered at one stroke.”Cao Cao agreed with him and led his troops back to Xudu. In the spring of the seventh year of Jian 'an, Cao Cao discussed again.

Raise an army. First sent Xiahou Dun, Man Chong guarding Runan, in order to resist Liu Biao; Cao Ren and Xun Yu were left to guard the capital, and they personally led the army to Guandu.

Tie. Yuan Shao had been suffering from cold and vomiting blood since last year. Now he has recovered a little and is planning to attack Xudu. Shen Pei remonstrated, saying,"In the old days, the granaries of Guandu

After the defeat of Li Ting, the morale of the army has not yet been shaken. We should still dig deep trenches and build high camps to support the army and the people.”Just as they were discussing the matter, they suddenly reported that Cao Cao had marched into Guandu to attack Jizhou.

State. "It will be too late if we wait until the enemy is near the city and near the moat," said Yuan Shao. I'll lead my army out to meet you." Yuan Shang

"My father is not well enough to go on a long expedition," said the old man. I'm willing to lead my troops to meet the enemy." Yuan Shao agreed and sent people to Qingzhou to capture Yuan Tan.

The state captured Yuan Xi, Bingzhou captured Gao Gan, and the four armies defeated Cao Cao together. The war drums were just sounded in Runan, and the army was mobilized from the north of Hebei. Unknown Victory

I'll explain what I'm going to do next.
