The result of the rock-scissors was that Xu Chu won this rare opportunity to fight with the general. He waved the ghost-headed sword and pegasus out of the battle, rushing towards the poor General Wen Pin cheerfully. His heartfelt joy and sincere smile from the bottom of his heart were not like he was preparing to fight with Wen Pin at all, but on the contrary, he also seemed to be rushing towards a good friend with a tendency to break back.

Wen Pin fought hard with a twelve-point spirit, and did not dare to take it lightly at all, because of the magic arrows of the three generals of Xuzhou before, and because of Xu Chu's former reputation as the number one thug in Xuzhou. Fortunately, General Wen Pin also had some practical things in his hands, and his martial arts skills were pretty good. He barely fought with Xu Chu for more than a dozen rounds but was not defeated. However, he was also shocked by Xu Chu's strange power and was unable to control the weapon. He said to himself: "Xu Huqi, indeed, his reputation is well-deserved."

"Xu Laohu, it's been twelve rounds, haven't won it yet? No, I can't replace me!" Wei Yan, Zhang Xiu, Taishi Ci and other generals started to yell, very dissatisfied with Xu Chu's occupation of the trench, and Ma Zhong, a little gangster of Danyang, whistled.

"People man, wait!" Xu Chu felt insulted and furious, and returned to the flag formation after selling a flaw. Wen Pin was afraid of being caught by a cold arrow again. He was extremely surprised why Xu Chu returned to the flag formation, but he was dumbfounded to see that Xu Chu actually strangled the war horse in front of the Xuzhou military flag formation, threw down the ghost head knife and took off his armor, revealing his upper body full of lumps of flesh. Then he lifted the ghost head knife and roared and rushed into the formation again, "Wen Pin, die!"

"A man!" Wen Pin also cursed and fought hard again. However, in front of Xu Chu who was already crazy, Wen Pin soon began to be in a difficult position, but Xu Chu was desperate, one sword was more fierce than the other, and one sword was more fierce than the other. The sword was both deadly fighting. Wen Pin was gradually losing his courage, and his spear was even more scattered. After more than thirty rounds of battle, Xu Chu slashed the spear in his hand with a knife. His hands were bleeding from the mouth of the tiger. He screamed and returned to the horse and left. Xu Chu chased him reluctantly, relying on the speed of the war horse, he chased Wen Pin and chopped down with a knife. Wen Pin heard the wind sound behind his head and hurriedly rolled off the war horse. Xu Chu slashed on Wen Pin's war horse's back and cut off Wen Pin's war horse with a big knife.

"General Zhongye, go quickly!" Wenpin's two deputy Wang Lai and Bi Li rushed to rescue each other, fighting with swords and guns to kill Wenpin, and Xu Chu fought for time to escape. Xu Chu raised his divine power. Without the war, he killed Bi Li with one knife. He grabbed the spear stabbed by Wang Lai and roared, lifted Wang Lai and the gun from the horse, and threw Wang Lai heavily on the ground, causing Wang Lai to break his tendons and bones, spitting blood, and then trampled on the horse. The horse's hoofed horse stepped on Wang Lai's face, and the blood and brain matter splattered together. The poor General Wang Lai also died on the battlefield.

Despite relying on the cover of his two subordinates, Wen Pin fled back to the Jingzhou military flag formation. However, the morale of the Jingzhou military team was still bleak. General Cai Mao, who had always cherished his life, turned pale and began to regret that he came to fight the Xuzhou military team rashly. However, the matter was not over yet. After killing two generals in a row, Xu Chu came to attack the Jingzhou military flag formation again. When the soldiers of Jingzhou rushed to shoot with bows and arrows, Deputy Director Tao had also ordered Zhang Xiu and Taishi Ci to lead one army, one left and one right to fight the Jingzhou military battle formation. Cai Mao plucked up his courage to order the army to fight and start a melee with the Xuzhou army.

The generals are not the opponent, and the Jingzhou Army is even less the opponent. The Jingzhou Army does have its own unique advantages in water warfare, but in terms of land warfare, the Jingzhou Army is similar to the Xuzhou Army when Deputy Director Tao first arrived in this era. They have never seen any big scenes, lack experience, ischemicity, and even the fighting spirit to move forward. At most, they will bully local rebels, and will reveal their true colors when they meet elite heroes. After nearly ten years of warfare, the Xuzhou Army, which has been through many battles, has already experienced countless strong military soldiers. Deputy Director Tao brought the front-line soldiers selected from the Xuzhou Army. Almost all of them are as one-to-one as ten-way battles. Many soldiers crawled out of the pile of deaths. They can't even remember them. Using them to deal with the Jingzhou team can't be called war, but only abuse.

The battle situation was one-sided from the beginning. The brave and fighting soldiers of Xuzhou were full of fighting spirit and rushed towards the enemy group like a tiger down the mountain. The Jingzhou army plucked up the courage to meet them, but the Xuzhou army used only one charge to disrupt the team and was forced to fall into a close-up melee. The Xuzhou soldiers were like fish in water in the melee, chopping, stabbing or chopping, wantonly harvesting the lives of the Jingzhou soldiers. Although the Jingzhou soldiers also strangled the bullet to resist, they had no power to fight back in front of the skillful Xuzhou soldiers. They were either cut by the iron knife on the front or stabbed by a spear suddenly stabbed from the side. They screamed and fell into a pool of blood. The Xuzhou soldiers holding short axes were even more brave. They cut the enemy over and cut them down and had to put an axe on their heads, as if they were not satisfied without chopping the enemy's brain. They were so brave that they were so fierce that they were scared of their courage before they even fought.

It was purely vulnerable. Cai Mao sent 4,000 troops under the impact of the Xuzhou army of the same force. He completely collapsed after less than a stick of incense. He threw down the bodies on the ground and fled back to the original formation. The Xuzhou army chased him reluctantly, rushed into the wings of the Jingzhou army's circular formation, one left and one right, and rushed into the two phalanxes of the Jingzhou army with unstoppable force. The two Jingzhou formations formed by thousands of soldiers were directly pierced through and cut them into half. Then he wanted to massacre the dispersed Jingzhou soldiers like chopping melons and vegetables. The screams and screams echoed on the battlefield. The soldiers of Jingzhou ran away with their heads in their arms, and the Xuzhou team became more and more brave.

At this time, Deputy Director Tao sent another three thousand troops to Xu Chu to lead, directly attacking the solid front of the Jingzhou army's battle formation without any tricks. The Jingzhou army's central army tried hard to shoot arrows, and the long shield hand also tried hard to hold the ground, trying to block the attack of the Xuzhou army. However, the experienced Xuzhou soldiers raised the round shield above their eyes, blocking the dense bows and arrows shot by the Jingzhou army, and roaring and rushing straight straight, rushing towards the front of the Jingzhou army's battle formation like a tide. Then Xu Chu, who was still shirtless, took the lead and quickly cut off the ground.

The spear stabbed from the gap of the long shield and hit a long shield. It immediately hit the long shield so that people could fly up, opening the first gap. Countless burly soldiers in Xuzhou holding axe hammers were as usual, either knocking or smashing over long shields, opening one after another, rushing into the Jingzhou Changshi Formation, and rushed into the back of the Xuzhou soldiers flocked in, breaking through the Jingzhou Changshi Formation without any effort, and stabbing the Jingzhou Army Changshi Formation. The terrified soldiers of Jingzhou threw down their heavy long shields and ran away, and the shield wall collapsed instantly.

Seeing Xu Chu leading his army to defeat the enemy's shield formation, Wei Yan couldn't wait to come over and ask for an order, asking the Danyang rogue soldiers who were good at melee to launch a charge. Deputy Director Tao shrugged and replied: "Forget it, your team has fought a lot of bad battles some time ago. You have to let the soldiers have some rest and recover. Just put in the battle and let Zhongkang and the others fight. Your team retains its physical strength and fight a pursuit battle later." Wei Yan had no choice but to retreat.

There is indeed no need to send forces to join the battlefield. Although only 7,000 troops were sent to attack the enemy, it was enough to have an overwhelming advantage over more than 30,000 Jingzhou troops. Looking down from the sky, the 7,000 Xuzhou troops entered the enemy's formation in three groups, like three yellow torrents, rushing freely inside the Jingzhou army's square formation. Wherever they reached, the Jingzhou army line collapsed and fell. It quickly showed a collapse. Although Cai Mao, who was hiding in the middle of the square formation, kept calling out the banner and ordered all units to firmly grasp the position, he said that nothing could stop the progress of the Xuzhou army.

Soon, Xu Chu's team, who entered the enemy formation from the front, had approached the Jingzhou Central Army General Banner. Zhang Xiu and Taishici's teams entered the formation from both wings were also targeting Cai Mao's teams. Taishici, who had no chance to show their faces after joining the Xuzhou army, rushed the fiercest and rushed into the Jingzhou army. The arc made of flesh and blood almost reached Cai Mao's team at the same time as Xu Chu's team, who entered the front.

"Damn it. Why is the Xuzhou thief army so powerful?" Seeing that the situation was not good, General Cai Mao cursed and immediately turned his head and ran away, shouting while running, "Ming Jin! Ming Jin! Protect me to retreat! Protect me to retreat!"

The golden gong sounded, and the long-awaited Jingzhou square formation collapsed. From Cai Maowenpin to ordinary soldiers, they all rushed to flee, fleeing all over the mountains and fields without forming formations, and no team dared to fight the palace. Seeing this, Deputy Director Tao smiled and ordered: "Beat the drum, attack the general, and order the troops to let the enemy escape back to Yuyang City, but they must not let them escape on the warship."

Deputy Director Tao's order was a bit redundant. At the same time, on the battlefield of Yuyang Wharf, the Xuzhou cavalry led by Tuo Myanmar had already ignited dozens of Jingzhou ships with flying muskets, forcing Cai Yun to lead the fleet to retreat to the downstream of Yuyang. Therefore, when Cai Mao's defeated soldiers fled to Yuyang Wharf in a panic, they not only had no chance to escape from the warships they were riding on when they came, but were also hit by Tuo Myanmar's team. The main force of Xuzhou, who was chasing reluctantly, also came close to the front. The Jingzhou army was defeated, and Cai Mao and Wenpin were forced to flee to Yuyang City in a hurry. However, Yuyang was only a small city and could not accommodate so many Jingzhou troops. More than half of the Jingzhou army could not enter the city and were surrounded by the Xuzhou army. They were either killed or surrendered.

In this service, the Jingzhou army suffered more than 10,000 troops and was hit hard again, but Deputy Director Tao was not satisfied. He urgently ordered the rear army to transport 30 Xiangyang artillery to block the waterway to deal with the Cai Yun fleet that might turn north. Then he ordered the army to pull up multiple iron chains on the Qingshui River, prepare to build a water grid to block the waterway, and divide the troops across the river to block the road between Yuyang and Jiyang, and put on an attitude of trapping Cai Mao and Wenpeng's team in the small town of Yuyang.

Cai Mao and Wen Pin saw that the situation was not good, and knew that Yuyang was too small and would be trapped to death, the entire army would be destroyed. They had to break through the encirclement overnight, and ended up falling into the plot of Deputy Director Tao again. When they broke through, they were ambushed by Xuzhou troops and the team was defeated again. The soldiers of Jingzhou rushed into the Qingshui River to escape. The Xuzhou army shot and killed them with bows and arrows. The Jingzhou soldiers were countless soldiers, and the bodies were piled up like mountains. The Qingshui River did not flow. Cai Mao and Wen Pin escaped on warships under the Qingshui River. Before they could meet the back army, they fled south in a hurry. Most of the more than 40,000 troops were lost, and the casualties were extremely heavy.

After defeating Cai Mao and Wen Pin, Deputy Director Tao was still not satisfied. He soon led the main combat soldiers to turn around and look for the bad luck of General Huang Zu. He met with Zhao Yunjun to station troops at the city of Nieyang. He transferred 20,000 troops from Wancheng and put on the stance to forcibly remove the Jingzhou army from Nieyang, Anzhong, and Rangcheng Iron Triangle. Huang Zu complained and could only send people south to ask for help from Liu Biao.

It was Liu Biao's turn to have a headache. He was defeated repeatedly on the battlefield in Nanyang. The land war was no match for the Xuzhou soldiers. The navy was unable to exert its advantage in water war because of the narrow river. It was useless to send more reinforcements. It might be a little bit better than the mistakes of the Yuan Shu army's navy. Persistence was also a life that was defeated by each one. The offensive and defense dilemma was completely in a passive position. Forced to helplessness, Liu Biao could only listen to the suggestion of Liu Xian of Jingzhou and sent an envoy to Xuzhou camp for peace. He expressed his willingness to accept the three conditions offered by Deputy Director Tao. The only thing he could only ask Deputy Director Tao to make a little concession and let his second son Liu Cong stay in front of his knees to perform his filial piety, and refused to take Deputy Director Tao to take Liu Cong to Xuchang for good intention.

To Liu Biao and others' surprise, Deputy Director Tao agreed to make concessions without any consideration and agreed not to hand over the second son as the charity, but only asked Liu Biao to return Jiang Gan and Huang Shuo immediately. Liu Biao's envoy Han Song was overjoyed and agreed to the request of Deputy Director Tao on the spot. He also agreed with Deputy Director Tao to return the hostages and sign the peace agreement. In response, Chen Ying kindly reminded Deputy Director Tao: "My lord, do you insist on asking for Liu Cong as the charity? First, pave the way for Liu Qi, and second, prevent Liu Biao from taking advantage of our army's opportunity to go north and break his promise."

"Are you honest again?" Deputy Director Tao smiled and said: "For our army, only if Liu Cong stays in Xiangyang and Liu Biao's side is more beneficial to our army. If Liu Cong is really forced to Xuchang, our army will be very unfavorable."

"Why?" Chen Ying asked in surprise.

"There are two reasons." Deputy Director Tao replied: "First, in order to create civil turmoil in Jingzhou, Liu Biao clearly established Liu Qi as the legitimate. Liu Cong, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others must be unwilling to give up. They must fight against Liu Qi to the end. The conflicts within Jingzhou will become more intense and sharp. The more chaotic the Jingzhou is, the more beneficial it will be to our army, right?"

"As for the second thing, I must guard against Liu Qi coming." Deputy Director Tao sneered: "If I bring Liu Cong to Xuchang as a charity, in order to get rid of Liu Cong, Liu Qi might take the initiative to provoke the war in Jiangdong and force me to execute Liu Cong!"

"This..., this is impossible?" Chen Ying was shocked and said, "Ying heard that Mr. Liu Qi is a kind man, loyal and honest. How could he do such a thing?"

"Loyal, honest and honest? Yuan Fang, you really underestimate Mr. Zhongming's ability to destroy people tirelessly." Deputy Director Tao laughed and said, "During the Zhang Xian Rebellion, Liu Qi took advantage of Huang Zu's opportunity to lead the army to suppress the rebellion and pulled many generals of Jiangxia's garrison to him. While eliminating dissidents, he promoted his confidants. As a result, after Huang Zu successfully suppressed the rebellion, he had no place in Jiangxia. He could only go north to Nanyang to garrison. If this is also called loyal, honest, then there would be no villain in the world who compete for power and profit."

"This is true. Judging from the behavior of Mr. Liu Qi, Mr. Liu Qi has indeed changed a lot in recent years." Chen Ying thought about it carefully and nodded, saying: "For example, the lord asked Mr. Liu Qi to find a way to kill him in prison. If Liu Qi had to do it without hesitation before, Liu Qi would definitely do it without hesitation. However, this time, Liu Qi not only used the excuse of being unable to control the affairs of Xiangyang City and refused to take this risk for our army, but also asked Liu Biao to transfer Huang Zhong, who performed outstandingly in the Battle of Ye County, to Jiangxia and listen to him. Such behavior does not look like the style of a loyal and honest person."

"So that guy Yang Hong is tireless in ruining people. He has been with Liu Qi for only a few days. He trained an honest child to become a cunning villain. Even I admire this method." Deputy Director Tao nodded and sighed: "What I worry most now is that if Liu Qi grows up like this, Liu Biao really passes Jingzhou to Liu Qi. It will be difficult for us to take Jingzhou again in the future."

Chen Ying also sighed, and suddenly felt aroused in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Lord, since that's the case, should we show goodwill to Cai Mao and Huang Zu appropriately, and get back to Cai Mao and Huang Zu, and get closer to each other. When necessary, can we use them to deal with Liu Qi?"

Deputy Director Tao looked up suddenly and looked at Chen Ying. Chen Ying felt guilty and hurriedly said, "Lord, did I say the wrong thing? If it is wrong, I will take back what I said just now."

Deputy Director Tao waved his head, not speaking, but continued to think in his heart. At this moment, a guard came in outside the door and presented a letter to Deputy Director Tao. The sender was not someone else, but it happened to be Deputy Director Tao and Mr. Liu Qi, whom Chen Ying had just mentioned. After opening the letter, he hurriedly read the letter, Deputy Director Tao immediately made up his mind and said to Chen Ying: "Yuan Fang, your proposal just now makes sense. On the issue of Jingzhou, we must be prepared for both ways. We must show appropriate goodwill to Cai Mao and Huang Zu to improve the relationship."

"Why?" Chen Ying was stunned at first, and then Chen Ying, who had also been led by Deputy Director Tao, also reacted and said in surprise: "Lord, is it that Mr. Liu Qi, who wants the lord to insist on bringing Liu Cong to Xuchang as a qualifier?"

Deputy Director Tao nodded with a wry smile, and then ordered: "Go to Liu Ye and Xu Huang, who are staying in Wancheng, and ask them to send Huang She to Nieyang, remember to write that you should take good care of yourself and not abuse."

"I understand." Chen Ying nodded and said again: "Lord. I think it's better to give Huang Shebiao an official title and give Huang Grandpa and son a little surprise."

Deputy Director Tao laughed loudly and said, "Yuan Fang, you have been ruined. When you first came to me, you didn't know anything and asked everything. Now, I have only raised my head. You will know what I am going to do immediately. It seems that our team is really a big dye vat. No matter how honest and honest people come in, they will be damaged."

……………………

A few days later, on the more important battlefield in Yecheng, Mr. Yuan Tan also won a decisive victory.

Yuan Tan's army's victory was like this. After besieging Yecheng for nearly two months, Yuan Tan's army always had no choice but to use the solid city defense of Yecheng. He was repelled by Yuan Shang's army many times. In desperation, Mr. Yuan Tan figured out a plan to defeat the enemy and deliberately made a sound. It was said that the Xuzhou army sent troops to Hanoi to threaten Shangdang, and then ordered the retreat to return to Huguan. He also burned the camp stationed in a hurry and pretended to retreat to Shangdang. In fact, he arranged ambush troops in the narrow road to lure the third brother to chase him.

Mr. Yuan Shang was indeed trapped. Not only did he send troops to chase him immediately, but he also led his army to pursue him personally. Although Shen Pei strongly advised Yuan Shang to act cautiously, he would talk about it until he confirmed that the Xuzhou army had really sent troops to Hanoi. However, Mr. Yuan Shang, who hated his brother, refused to listen, worried that he would miss the opportunity to fight and insisted on sending troops. As a result, after leaving the city and chasing westward for less than fifty miles, Yuan Shang's team was attacked by Yuan Tan's ambush. He was caught off guard and suffered a crushing defeat on the narrow road and was forced to lead his army back to Yecheng.

After finally cheating the damn brother out of the city, Mr. Yuan Tan of course said that he would not miss this opportunity. Not only did he personally lead the army to pursue him, but he also sent a team of cavalry to block the gate of Yecheng. As a result, the Bingzhou cavalry led by the high cavalry was also very successful and successfully rushed to Yecheng before Yuan Shang's defeated troops returned to the city, forcing Shen Pei to close the gate and cut off Yuan Shang's return. When Yuan Shang was defeated and arrived in Yecheng, the main force of Yuan Tan's army also followed him. Shen Pei was forced to helplessly, so he had to bite the bullet and open the south gate and risked Yuan Shang's return to the city.

Shen Pei lost the gambling and the city gate opened. Although Yuan Shang brought some defeated soldiers back to the city, some Yuan Tan's army also took the opportunity to enter the city, killing people and setting fires to create chaos. At the same time, seeing the critical situation, Feng Li, the guard of the west gate of Yecheng, was afraid of death, and also opened the west gate of Yecheng to let Yuan Tan's army enter the city. Yuan Shang's army immediately stopped and was forced to open the east gate of Yecheng to break through, and lead the defeated soldiers who could still command to escape from Yecheng.

When he was about to abandon the city, Mr. Yuan Shang, who hated his brother, did another unethical thing, that was, the army ignited the granary of Yecheng and set fire to destroy the grain stored in Yecheng. Yuan Tanjun, who was extremely short of food, was shocked and could not immediately put out the fire and could not chase Yuan Shang's defeated soldiers with all his might. Yuan Shangjun took the opportunity to escape, and most of the remaining grain stored in Yecheng was burned down, which made Yuan Tanjun still face the dilemma of insufficient food even if he took Yecheng. However, in a critical moment, Mr. Yuan Shang had not only thought about doing unethical things, but also forgot another major thing, that is, taking away his biological mother, Deputy Director Tao's mother-in-law, and the second wife of the Grand Duke of Yuan San - Liu!

Yuan Shang burned grain when he abandoned the city, which completely angered Yuan Tan. So after entering the city, Mr. Yuan Tan ignored Ju Hu and Xin Pi's strong dissuasion. The first thing he did was to slash Liu with his own hands. Guo Tu, who could persuade Mr. Yuan Tan, rushed to stop him, was too late. Liu, who had two sections of body and head, had already fallen in a pool of blood. Guo Tu was shocked and stamped his feet and screamed: "It's over! Tao Ying's traitor will definitely stay with us! Although Liu's witch deserves to die, she is Tao's mother-in-law! Her daughter is also Tao's wife and wife!"

"Damn the Taoist thief! I took back Jizhou, but I still have to be afraid of him?" Yuan Tan kicked the body of Liu, whom he hated the most. Just by hatred, Yuan Tan's hatred for Liu is definitely above Yuan Shang! Then he shouted: "Send an order to the high-ranking officials and ask him to send troops to Anyang immediately, and be sure to block the road for Yuan Shang's common man to escape to Liyang!"

Mr. Yuan Tan made a mistake in his judgment this time. Yuan Shang's defeated soldiers did not escape to the nearest Li Yang. First, Yuan Shang knew that Yuan Tan would definitely block the road to Li Yang with all his might. Escape to Li Yang would only be more dangerous. Second, Guantao City and Qinghe County east of Yecheng were still under the control of Yuan Shang's confidant. The troops on the way were also taken to Yecheng by the traitor Gao Fan. The troops in Wei County were very empty, so Mr. Yuan Shang did not flee south, but chose to flee east.

In addition, another important reason also determines that Yuan Shang fled to the east. He has seen some true faces of Deputy Director Tao. He believes that once the self-army escapes to the Xuzhou army, it will definitely be enlisted and annexed by the Xuzhou army. Only by continuing to stay in Jizhou and in his own control can he be independent and gain hope of making a comeback. Therefore, he also urged Yuan Shang to escape to Guantao and Qinghe at all costs.

Yuan Shangjun's unexpected escape direction caught Yuan Tan's army off guard. It was too late to concentrate its troops to chase eastward. Yuan Shangjun had already escaped more than a hundred miles faster than a rabbit. Then when he passed by Wei County, Prince Yuan Shang took advantage of the opportunity of almost no defenders in the city to enter the city, killing the entire family of Gao Fan, the prefect of Wei County who led the army to rebel, and executed many soldiers and families who followed Gao Fan's rebellion. At the same time, Yuan Shang's confidant Zhang Cheng, who was stationed in Guantao, also brought troops to rescue Yuan Shang's defeated soldiers and returned to Guantao.
