The last time Cao's army set up in Micang Mountain and transported food and grass, he used a lot of mules and horses.

However, because the terrain there is complex and not conducive to cavalry operations, the ambush troops are mainly infantry.

Therefore, although Zhang He and Xu Huang easily trapped Huang Zhongwei, after Zhao Yun broke through the encirclement and broke through the encirclement, Cao Cao's infantry was not as good as Zhao Yun, who was used to walking on the mountain roads, when pursuing him, Huang Zhongjun was fast, so he let them escape calmly.

Cao Cao was also very depressed that Zhao Yun escaped from his siege again. This time, Xu Huang attacked the Hanshui for the vanguard, and learned from the lesson of insufficient power last time.

Xu Huang was also a good cavalryman and asked Cao Cao to allocate him five thousand cavalry, of which two thousand were archers, which greatly increased the army's mobility.

It was precisely because of the advantage of the cavalry that Xu Huang had the confidence and insisted on leading the army to cross the Han River, and carried the water to form a formation to lure Liu Bei's army to attack.

Xu Huang and Wang Ping crossed the Han River and had already reported to Liu Bei in detail.

Liu Bei did not want to cross the river to fight, so he did not send troops to attack halfway, allowing Xu Huang to cross the Han River.

But Liu Bei had not made up his mind to fight, but he could not reduce his value and personally lead the army against Cao Cao's vanguard army.

There seem to be many generals around Liu Bei, but they are still a little short of using them.

Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Wei Yan and others have all been sent out to capture Nanzheng City.

Liu Bei led a lot of soldiers, with nearly 100,000 soldiers, but now the only generals around him are Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun.

Although Liu Feng has good martial arts skills, he is definitely not an enemy of famous generals like Xu Huang.

The last time he robbed food, Huang Zhong was fought by Xu Huang and Zhang He. The two had fought one-on-one dozens of times. They knew that Xu Huang was very skilled in martial arts and could not gain the upper hand with his own strength.

Last time Huang Zhong was bullied by Zhang He and Xu Huang with many powerful people and used wheel battles to fight. He was always angry and wanted to fight back, so he asked Liu Bei for battle:

"Xu Huang has already crossed the Han River. It seems that he wants to fight back, but because the river bank is not wide and lacks acceleration time. Although there are many cavalrymen, there is no advantage. I am willing to lead the troops of Zilong to fight."

Since Liu Bei had sent troops, he would not be able to stand against Cao Cao's 10,000 vanguards, so he asked the two of them to lead three thousand troops to the destination.

It is still the same rule that Huang Zhong is the main general, but Zhao Yun still led his own army and set up two camps respectively, and was in a junction with each other.

Since he received Fazheng's face-to-face teaching and teaching by words and deeds, Huang Zhong, who was over 60 years old, felt enlightened, and his understanding and application of military strategy suddenly reached a very high level.

Because he gained the benefit of using strategies, Huang Zhong attached great importance to military strategies when he went to the battle. Along the way, Huang Zhong rode on the horse and thought about it. After thinking about it, he said to Zhao Yun:

"Now Xu Huang is here with courage, so we will not fight with him for the time being; when the soldiers are exhausted, you and I will divide the troops into two groups and attack together, and then Xu Huang can be captured."

Zhao Yunshen agreed, so the two of them lived in the village and did not go out to fight.

Xu Huang led 5,000 cavalry across the river, but was not attacked halfway. He thought that Liu Bei's army was afraid of fighting, so he decided to lead his troops to show off his might and came straight to Huangzhong camp, fighting from Chenshi until Shenshi.

Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun just kept their troops in motion.

Xu looked at the sky was getting late, and seemed very angry. He taught the archers to move forward, took out the crossbow, covered the arrows, and watched Huang Zhongying shoot inward.

When Huang Zhong saw it, he immediately sent someone to notify Zhao Yun:

"If Xu Huang ordered a crossbow to shoot my camp, his army will retreat! We can attack him at the right time."

Zhao Yunran said that after the reorganization of the army, he suddenly saw that Cao's army retreated.

So, the drums in Huang Zhong's camp were loudly sound, and Huang Zhong first led his troops to attack from the left.

When Zhao Yun heard the sound of drums, he also led his troops out from the right.

After two attacks, Xu Huang could not resist and was defeated and retreated to his camp.

Because Xu Huang's camp was not far from the Han River, the river embankment was not very wide, and the defeated army was crowded. Many soldiers and horses were forced into the Han River, and countless dead were killed.

Xu Huang was afraid of being trapped by Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, so he did not dare to return to the village. He led the army to open a bloody road and retreated to Wang Ping's camp.

Seeing that Wang Ping's camp was kept tightly, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun led the army to retreat.

Xu Huang was taken into the camp by Wang Ping, counting the defeated troops, and nearly half of the five thousand cavalry were lost. He was extremely heartbroken, but he didn't know how to explain to Cao Cao, so he blamed Wang Ping:

"When you see our army is in danger, how can you not send troops to rescue me? This leads to such defeat!"

Wang Ping laughed in anger and retorted loudly:

"If I lead the army to rescue, this village will not be guaranteed. I once advised that the cavalry here cannot be carried out, so the general will not leave for the time being. The general refused to let it go, and thus the defeat was the one who blamed me now. What is the reason?"

When Xu Huang saw that Wang Ping refused to accept his crime and wanted to argue, he was furious and ordered his subordinates to arrest Wang Ping and behead him.

Not long after Wang Ping arrived at Cao Cao, he was troubled by Xu Huang for the first time he led his troops to fight. He felt something was wrong and had already prepared.

Before Xu Huang could move his hands, Wang Ping had already taken his confidants and set fire in the camp.

Cao's army was in chaos, and Xu Huang abandoned the camp and left, retreating to the north of the Han River.

Wang Ping took advantage of the chaos to recruit troops from the headquarters and came to join Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun did not dare to delay and immediately led Wang Ping to meet Liu Bei.

Wang Ping had the opportunity to surrender to Liu Bei, but he chose Cao Cao. Now he has no choice and no concealment. He talks about the geography of the Han River and offers a plan to flood.

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this and said to the generals:

"I got the prince and the emperor would definitely take Hanzhong." So Wang Ping was appointed as a partial general and led the commander.

Huang Zhong stayed in the camp, and Zhao Yun led his troops across the Han River.

Although Xu Huang had thousands of troops, he was defeated in a new battle, and his morale was not determined, so he dared not fight and led his troops back to Cao Cao's camp.

Xu Huang knew that this failure was because he underestimated the enemy too much, but Wang Ping's discooperation was also related, so he reported to Cao Cao in a realistic manner:

"I led the army to fight against Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, and asked Wang Ping to guard the village to support him. When our army retreated, who knew that Wang Ping did not move his troops, which caused our army to be defeated. I thought it was because he was afraid that the King of Wei would surrender, so Wang Ping led his army to surrender Liu Bei!"

Cao Cao was very concerned about the vanguard's battle situation and had already received a report from the surveillance horse. He knew that this failure was because Xu Huang used improperly.

Now it’s time to use people, and Cao Cao is in a difficult situation. It’s really hard to deal with Xu Huang.

When Cao Cao heard that Wang Ping led his army to surrender to Liu Bei, he was furious and just pushed all the crimes of defeat on Wang Ping, but still let Xu Huang be the vanguard, personally command the army, and come to fight against Liu Bei.

Zhao Yun had only three thousand troops, and established a camp alone on the north bank of the Han River. When he found out that Cao Cao led the army to come, he was afraid that the army would not be able to stand alone, so he led the army back south of the Han River and joined forces with Huang Zhong.

Liu Bei still held his troops and Cao Cao did not cross the Han River for the time being, and the two armies refused to resist each other across the water.

Regarding Cao's army several times his own, Liu Bei did not dare to underestimate the enemy, so he led Wang Ping, Liu Feng and others to watch the situation between the two sides and plan to break the enemy's plan.
