Guo Si and Li Qi looked at each other, and the same thought arose in their hearts: How should we explain to the Prime Minister?

Although he was frightened, he had to report to the Prime Minister. The two of them bit the bullet and led their defeated generals to meet with Cao Cao.

Speaking of which, Cao Cao was leading the army to Xiaopei, but suddenly received a report and learned that Guo Si and Li Que had been defeated. He was not surprised or angry, and just laughed and said, "Yan Liang is indeed extraordinary! I suffered a lot of losses that day! Today's result is also very normal!"

Not long after, Guo Si and Li Que led the defeated general to join Cao Cao. Cao Cao's army stopped advancing. Guo Si and Li Que rushed to Cao Cao, turned over and dismounted, knelt down and apologized: "Prime Minister, our defeat and defeated the army, please punish him!"

Cao Cao smiled, "You also know that it has aroused the spirit of my army! How did you assure me before you set off? Hum?"

The two looked at each other and couldn't speak.

Cao Cao said angrily: "You said you could take Xiaopei in one day! Now it's really less than a day, but you escaped back! What do you think I should deal with you?" The two of them couldn't help but sweat in their cold sweat, and they were very frightened, not knowing what to say.

A look of contempt flashed in Cao Cao's eyes and said with a smile: "Although you two deserve punishment, I will not pursue your efforts to fight. I hope you two can make meritorious contributions!" The two originally thought that Cao Cao would trigger them heavily, but they did not expect that Cao Cao would just expose it so easily, and they couldn't help but feel surprised and kowtowed and thanked him quickly.

Cao Cao turned over and dismounted and walked to the side of the road. Guo Si and Li Qi stood up and faced Cao Cao's back with a very positive attitude.

Cao Cao looked into the distance and asked, "How did you lose?" The two looked at each other, not knowing how to speak.

Cao Cao turned around and said, "Tell me the story in detail, and don't hide anything!" The two of them quickly clasped their fists and agreed, and then Guo Si started, and he described the battle story one by one.

...

Cao Cao laughed and said, "You two are already very good. Yan Liang is one of the few powerful generals in the world. It is rare to be valuable to be able to tie him with him!" Guo Si and Li Qie felt much more at ease when he heard this, but he also felt that there was nothing worth boasting about this matter.

Cao Cao paced back and forth, with a thoughtful look on his face, "Well. It seems that Lu Bu has been waiting there for a long time! You are so tired that you suddenly came out to defeat you! Is this Chen Gong's trick or Tian Feng's trick? Or Jia Xu's trick?" Cao Cao smiled, "But such tricks can't reverse the situation in front of him. What else can you do when my army arrives?" Then he returned to his war horse, turned over, and shouted: "Forward!" The army started again.

One day later, Cao Cao's army came to Xiaopei City. Hundreds of thousands of troops were overwhelming, with cavalry like clouds and spears like dense forests. The shouts shook the mountains and rivers of the clouds!

Cao Cao immediately looked at the top of Xiaopei City under the big flag, and vaguely recognized that the general wearing heavy armor, who was like a wolf and a tiger, was Yan Liang who had seen him before. He couldn't help but say with regret: "What a pity! This Yan Liang is a rare general, and he actually belonged to Lu Bu!"

At this time, a scout rushed to Cao Cao, strangled his horse, clasped his fists and said, "Report to Prime Minister, Lu Bu leads the cavalry to move in the backward direction of our side!"

Guo Si and Li Qi were both shocked, but Cao Cao smiled slightly. Guo Si hurriedly clasped his fists at Cao Cao and said, "Prime Minister, Lu Bu must have tried to use the same trick to attack us again!" Li Qi nodded in agreement. Xun You said angrily: "I have hundreds of thousands of troops, and the army is in a strict manner. There are 80,000 cavalry alone! Unless Lu Bu is impatient, how dare he use only ten thousand war cavalry to scratch his tiger's beard?" Guo Si and Li Qi looked at each other, only thinking that what Xun You said was very good.

The truth. Then a feeling of confusion arose in his heart. Li Qi couldn't help asking, "Since that's the case, why did Lu Bu do this?" Xun You said, "This truth is very simple! This is a trick to doubt the soldiers. Lu Bu hopes to distract us from two places to hesitate in order to protect Xiao Pei! It's a pity that this strategy was used wrongly and the wrong target is used! Our army is not the same, and there are hundreds of thousands of people. How could we be disturbed by his mere 10,000 cavalry!"

Cao Cao smiled slightly, "What Gongda said is so! Don't worry about Lu Bu!" Then he raised his right hand and shouted, "Beat the drum and challenge!"

The sound of war drums rumbled, and the movement was far greater than when Guo Si and Li Qi came to attack. The huge sound of war drums was like rolling thunder in the sky, making people's eardrums numb and frightened!

Xiahou Dun clasped his fists at Cao Cao and said, "Prime Minister, I want to challenge that Yan Liang to see if he is really as powerful as the rumors!"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Yuan Rang is extremely brave, I will definitely be able to take Yan Liang! Go!" Xiahou Dun responded loudly, and rushed out of the military formation with his mace in his arms, until he was at the gate of the city, shouting loudly: "Yan Liang, I am the general Xiahou Dun, do you dare to come out and fight to the death with me?" The soldiers of Cao's army shouted in waves, as if they were challenging Yan Liang.

After a while, the city gate opened wide, and Yan Liang led hundreds of cavalry out of the city gate.

Yan Liang came out of the horse, looked at Xiahou Dun with contempt, and sneered: "Another thing that doesn't know how to die is here!"

Xiahou Dun smiled, "I'm a life-and-death thing, but you can't kill me!" Yan Liang was furious and glared and shouted, "Looking for death!" At the same time, he activated the war horses to rush towards Xiahou Dun. Xiahou Dun's eyes lit up and immediately urged the horses to fight. The two cavalry hedged at high speed, and in a trance made people feel as if two tigers were rushing towards each other!

In a blink of an eye, both sides rushed to the front of them, Yan Liang shouted loudly, and used his sword to slash from top to bottom, like thunder and lightning; Xiahou Dun waved his huge mace and swept straight towards the other party! In a blink of an eye, the sword and rod collided with a loud noise, shocking the audience! Yan Liang felt that the opponent's power was not inferior to him, and was shocked and excited. He shouted, and then waved his sword and attacked the other party hard! Xiahou Dun knew that the opponent's martial arts were extraordinary after the moment, so he immediately used his rod and rushed to attack the opponent with all his strength! The big sword and mace roared and flew in the air, constantly colliding with each other and making deafening loud noises! The two generals were extremely fierce, and this fierce battle was like a dragon fighting in the wild, and the tiger fighting against the cliff, killing the wind and clouds to change color and howl!

The passion of the soldiers on both sides was completely boiling, and the huge shouts were like a huge tide, one after another!

Guo Si and Li Que originally thought that the most powerful general under Cao Cao was just comparable to him. At this time, he realized that he was completely wrong when he saw Xiahou Dun's bravery. He was so shocked that his face was pale and stunned.

Yan Liang and Xiahou Dun fought hard for more than fifty rounds and still had no choice but to win. The battlefield was filled with smoke and dust, and murderous aura was soaring! A soldier who was beating the war drum actually broke a drumstick because of excessive force. He quickly found a new one to continue beating the drum.

The two sides fought for more than 60 rounds and still had no choice but to win or lose. The more they fought, they became more and more ruthless. Later, they seemed to die together! Cao Cao was worried that Xiahou Dun had a mistake, so he immediately ordered Xiahou Yuan to help the battle! Xiahou Yuan raised his sword and rushed towards Yan Liang! When Yan Liang fought with Xiahou Dun, he was shocked when he saw Xiahou Yuan rushing back to the city. He knew that he and Xiahou Dun had a good martial arts skills, but they could not deal with another enemy general while dealing with Xiahou Dun. Yan Liang quickly deceived Xiahou Dun with a fake sword, and then suddenly turned his horse and ran back to the middle of his cavalry, leading the cavalry back to the city, and the city gate was closed.

Seeing Yan Liang fled back to the city, Cao Cao smiled proudly and immediately ordered the army to attack the city.

The sound of war drums rang out loudly, and the Cao army attacked the three cities on the west, south and north at the same time. In an instant, arrows and stones flew all over the sky, and the Cao army attacked Xiaopei like a tide! Lu Bu's army defended the city with a fierce battle, and the battle situation began to become white-hot and cut off. The intensity was even worse than that of Guo Si and Li Que's previous attack!

The Cao army did not capture the first day, and the Cao army continued to attack fiercely on the second day. For three consecutive days, the Cao army's offensive became stronger and stronger, and later it was like a mountain collapse and swelling! Under the fierce attack of the Cao army, Xiaopei was like a small boat in the storm, as if there was danger of overturning at any time!

Speaking of which, Ailang led 10,000 cavalry to wander around Cao's army, originally trying to attract the attention of Cao's army to affect the progress of his siege. However, he did not expect that Cao Cao seemed to be completely unaffected, and the army only attacked Xiaopei fiercely, as if he did not exist.

Seeing that after three days, Xiao Pei was in danger, Ailang was angry and led his cavalry to attack the rear of Cao's army while Cao's army was siege.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao was prepared. When Ailang led his army to approach the Cao army's formation, the 40,000 Cao army cavalry who had long been ambushing around him suddenly rushed out together, led by Xiahou Yuan to attack Ailang from all sides. Ailang was caught off guard and was surrounded by four times the opponent's cavalry!

Ai Lang was shocked and angry, and led his army to fight to the death. On the field, the cavalry on both sides sacrificed their lives to fight to the death, with long swords and flesh flying everywhere! The seriously injured soldiers of Lu Bu army were still rushing towards the enemy; the officers of Cao army with broken arms flew towards the opponent. The battle was extremely tragic, and the soldiers of both sides sacrificed their lives to fight like wild animals. The flying sword light reflected the flying blood, and the officers and soldiers on both sides fell in a pool of blood!

In the evening of the battle, the soldiers on both sides were killed and injured. Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, Ailang had to lead the remaining soldiers to fight to the east and go out a bloody road. He had no way to rescue Xiao Pei, and Xiao Pei's fate could only be handed over to Yan Liang and the others.

Xiahou Yuan rode his horse to Cao Cao, and said with shame, "Prime Minister, let that guy Lu Bu run away!"

Cao Cao didn't care at all and smiled, "You can run today and you can't run tomorrow, and you can run away from the monks and you can't run away from the temple!" Then he shouted, "Send the order, and the army will step up the attack on the city! Whoever attacks the city first will be named Xiaopei Marquis!"
