Shen Rong's face showed a pale face and his eyes were dull. The rest of Yuan Bing was also frightened and at a loss, so he let Xu Ding walk through the crowd.

When Xu Ding walked up to him, Shen Rong realized that he was Shen Pei's nephew. At this time, he saw the enemy general walking in his own army without any obstacles, and he had the idea of ​​capturing Xu Ding. However, before he could give orders, Yuan soldiers around him threw away their armor and knelt down to surrender.

Seeing Shen Rong's eyes flashing, Xu Ding said playfully: "What? General Shen is still planning to resist stubbornly?"

"drink!"

As Xu Ding finished speaking, the soldiers of the camp on all sides took a step forward and shouted.

The loud shout was like the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, hitting the hearts of everyone present. Some Yuan Bing, who were still watching, were shocked and hurriedly knelt on the ground, lowering his head without saying a word.

After seeing this, Shen Rong laughed bitterly and said, "Guo Yuan is a man of mindlessness. If he had listened to me, how could he have fallen to such a point? Forget it, since he was defeated in the war, he would have to kill and cut him. He would have to listen to the emperor."

Shen Rong was a bachelor, jumped off the war horse, lost the weapon in his hand, stood with his hands behind his back, closed his eyes and waited for death.

Xu Ding smiled and said, "We are all descendants of China. Since you surrender, our army will have no chance of attacking again. General Shen can rest assured!"

On the north bank of Jiangshui, after a night of battle, Yuan Jun died in battle and Shen Rong surrendered, and Xu Ding became famous in the battle, and his prestige chased his brother Xu Chu. The Xu brothers began to emerge and were well-known to outsiders.

The next day, Jiang Yiqu led his army across Jiangshui, leaving thousands of people to guard the ferry, and rushed towards Guangchuan without stopping.

On the way, they encountered an intercepting Yang family army. The two armies were now facing each other on this plain.

A general in front of the Yang family's army was Zhang He who led his troops to capture the north bank of Jiangshui. Zhang He snatched the horses and leaped forward, shouted at Yuan's army: "Ye, I am Zhang He, you and other rats, can anyone dare to fight me!"

Jiang Yiqu was a general under Yuan Shao and a native of Hebei. When Han Fu was in power, he had heard of Zhang He's name, but the two had never met each other. Jiang Yiqu didn't know the depth of Zhang He. When he saw Zhang He coming to make an appointment, Jiang Yiqu naturally would not lose to the front of the formation and lost his reputation. He immediately rushed out and laughed: "This general Jiang Yiqu is a general under Yuan Gong's tent. How dare Zhang He bark in front of me!"

Zhang He said angrily: "You are arrogant and dare to call yourself a general. Let's see how I will kill you!"

When Yan Luo was relieved, Zhang He rushed towards Jiang Yiqu. Jiang Yiqu was not willing to fall behind and hurried forward to fight. Both of them were generals from Hebei. Zhang He used a gun and Jiang Yiqu played with a knife. For a moment, on the battlefield, dust was flying, sword lights were everywhere, and guns were lighted, and the battle was equal.

Zhang He was under Zhongdaying and defended the Central Army. He had few opportunities to go to the battlefield. Now that he attacked Jizhou, he naturally had to perform well. The two generals fought dozens of moves. Zhang He figured out Jiang Yiqu's moves and launched a thunder counterattack. For a moment, he actually made Jiang Yiqu fumbling and struggled to deal with it.

Zhang He saw the opportunity, and the spear in his hand was like a poisonous dragon coming out of a hole, stabbing Jiang Yiqu's arm.

Jiang Yiqu was injured in his arm and dared not fight again. He then slashed his horse and retreated, fleeing in a hurry.

How could Zhang He miss this great opportunity and quickly lead his army to kill Yuan's army.

On the other hand, the Yuan army was injured and fled, and his morale fell. However, in order to rescue Jiang Yiqu, the deputy general of Yuan army had to order the entire army to attack and fight with the Yang family army on this plain.

The two armies fought, and the sound of killing was shaking, and the sound of drums and thunderstorms were heard. Everyone was not afraid of death. However, under the stalemate, the advantages of elite soldiers gradually emerged. No matter how the General Yuan scolded or encouraged him, it was difficult to restore the decline of Yuan's army. Soon, Yuan's army was killed and defeated and fled in a hurry.

While running away, another army broke out halfway. Xu Chu, who was waiting for the rabbit, was trapped in the power of the camp, and once again showed that facing such a giant steel man, Yuan Bing, who retreated and fled, could not resist at all. He just resisted a little and was defeated again.

In desperation, Jiang Yiqu had no choice but to take thousands of defeated soldiers and retreat to the ferry.

Knowing that he was defeated, Jiang Yiqu was decisive and quickly burned down the excess ships and fled back to the north bank of Jiangshui.

Looking at the ferry surging with flames, Zhang He sighed with pain and said, "Oh, it's a pity, it's still one step late! If we rob these ships, our army can cross the river in one day! We will drive our army north and fight against Yuan Xi!"

Xu Chu smiled carelessly and said, "Jun Yi, stabbing the enemy's chief general and capturing thousands of people, is a great achievement. You must not be too greedy!"

Zhang He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Zhongkang! Let's clean the battlefield quickly and we have to go back and report to General Gao!"

In the evening, Yuan Xi, who was in Xindu, learned that Guo Yuan had died in battle and Shen Rong surrendered. Before he could recover, he saw Jiang Yiqu flee back to the city with thousands of defeated soldiers.

Yuan Xi was so angry that he cursed on the spot, and then a deep sense of powerlessness rose in his heart. He immediately found a partner to discuss matters.

After learning that both armies were defeated, they were also shocked. After only a few days of departure, they were defeated. It was inevitable that it was shocking and scared at the Yang family army.

Han Heng smiled bitterly and said, "Lord, our army has only 50,000 people. After just a few days, nearly 30,000 were lost. The combat power of the Yang family army is too scary. In the opinion of the lower class, we should choose a high city to defend the eldest son and wait for the reinforcements of the eldest son!"

Yuan Xi's eyes showed a gloomy look and said in a deep voice: "Will he send troops south to rescue me when I treated him like that?"

Shen Pei shook her head and said, "The lord and the eldest son come out of the same lineage. Now Jizhou is in danger. How can the eldest son ignore it? The eldest son has the intention of dominating the world, so he will naturally send troops south to compete with the Yang family for Jizhou! However, now Gao Shun's troops are tens of thousands of people, just on the south bank of the Jiangshui River, and they will be at the city in a few days. If Xin is surrounded, then you will be lucky and misfortune! Xia Bo is backed by Zhangshui, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. I suggest that you, lord, quickly retreat to Xia Bo City!"

Yuan Xi said angrily: "When you were in Yecheng, you suggested that I give up Wei County and retreat to Anping Kingdom. I did as well. Look, in Jizhou, several counties have been captured by the Yang family army. Now you want me to continue to retreat north. When should I retreat to?"

Shen Pei smiled bitterly and said, "Lord, most of our troops are tenant farmers in the hands of those aristocratic families. Although they are wearing armor and holding sharp weapons, how can they be the opponent of the Yang family army? The surrounding Xindu is full of horses. If our army sticks to Xindu, it will be really a meal on the plate for the Yang family army!"

Han Heng also knew the power of it, so he nodded and said, "Lord, what Zhengnan said is right. If our army keeps trustworthy, it is unwise. You should make a quick decision and retreat to Xiabo! Xiabo City is backed by Zhangshui. Even if the city is broken and defeated, our army can retreat to the north of Zhangshui and guard across the river!"

"Oh!" The Yang family army was approaching, and it was imminent to defend or retreat. Yuan Xi was also a man with great courage. When he gritted his teeth, he decided to adopt the suggestions of the two, give up Xindu City, and retreat to Xiabo.

A few days later, Gao Shun's troops crossed Jiangshui. When they arrived at Xindu City, they saw that the gates were wide open. Some old men in luxurious clothes were slowly walking towards them. When these people came to the front, after asking, Gao Shun learned that Yuan Xi had led his army to retreat to the north a few days ago and is now in the city of Bo.

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Yuan Xianyi is so calm. She has reached such a state and can still run away! It seems that this guy has a great ambition!"

Xun Chen showed a serious look on his face and nodded in response: "When I was under Yuan Shao's command, I discovered that Yuan Xi was the most tolerant among the three sons of the Yuan family, and he was also the most insidious and cunning. This son cannot be kept!"

A cold light flashed in Gao Shun's eyes and said coldly: "Since I can't keep it, I'll give him away! I'll order Lu Bu from Nangong County to lead his troops to guide the rest of the cities in Anping Country. If someone resists and destroys his clan, three generations, the others will follow the general north and surround Bocheng!"

After hearing Gao Shun's order, even Guo Jia, who has always been used to laughing, was shocked by the order. Then he thought about it and thought, and thought to himself that although there are many families in Anping Country, they are still a mess. As long as this order is issued, it can be defeated one by one.

Xun Chen also looked at Gao Shun with deep meaning and said to him, this good old man is not soft-hearted at all when he starts his hand. It is better to be careful in the future.

But the Cui brothers breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thanked that they made the original choice.

On that day, outside Xiabo City, Gao Shun and more than 30,000 people finally arrived.

No matter how the Yang family army made a fight outside the city, Yuan Xi would close the city gates and act like he would be guarding the whole thing.

Because Xiabo City is a hub connecting the north and south, its city walls are higher than ordinary county towns. Gao Shun had no choice but to wait for the logistics of transporting the army.

The ferry on the north bank of the Zhang River was also captured by Zhang Yan and Yuan Xi was immediately trapped in an isolated city, surrounded by enemies on all sides.

However, Yuan Xi, who had 20,000 troops in his hand, did not give up on resistance because he had received a letter from Yuan Tan. The Youzhou army had driven out of Ji County a few days ago and rushed towards Jizhou.

Yuan Xi's decisive move to abandon Xindu City also completely disrupted Yang Fan's arrangement. He did not expect that tens of thousands of Yuan troops would be so vulnerable. He was defeated by Gao Shun in just a few days. If Yuan Xi had not been arrogant, if he had not thought that he could defeat Gao Shun's troops first and blindly crossed Henan to the south, he would not have been defeated so quickly and fled north in panic!

Half a month later, the Yang family army's siege equipment was finally delivered.

On this day, the cold wind whistled and snowflakes filled the sky.

Huge "big beasts" slowly emerged from the Yang family army's camp. After a certain distance from Xiabo City, they lined up in a row, with a total of fifteen.

Yuan Xi and others stood at the top of the city, staring at the busy Yang family army outside the city in amazement.
Chapter completed!
