    At this time, Le Jin, who was advancing with grain from the rear, suddenly saw soldiers and horses in the front chasing an army away quickly.  Le Jin felt anxious and quickly ordered the soldiers to stabilize their positions and be careful of sneak attacks.

    Unexpectedly, as soon as Le Jin finished speaking, countless shouts of killing broke out violently, and a group of soldiers and horses burst out.  The leading general is Zhang Xiu, the spear king of the North.  Zhang Xiu had a cold face and flew straight to Lejin.  Le Jin was startled and quickly raised his knife to meet Zhang Xiu.  Zhang Xiu's spear style was like a heavy rain, and he attacked Le Jin fiercely. Le Jin rushed to meet the enemy, but could not resist for a while, and was killed by Zhang Xiu.  Zhang Xiu quickly ordered the soldiers to set fire to the grain, and suddenly the grain carts burned one after another, and the flames were connected one after another.  It was windy and the fire spread very quickly.  Cao's troops nearby saw that the grain carts were being burned, so they desperately came to rescue them.  Zhang Xiu's team resisted, but Le Jin stopped panicking. When he saw the grain truck being burned, his eyes turned red with anger. He raised his knife and tried his best to kill Zhang Xiu.  Zhang Xiu held up his gun and fought with Le Jin.

    Although Zhang Xiu tried his best to resist Cao Jun, Cao Jun was in a hurry for food and supplies and came to kill without fear of death. Seeing that Zhang Xiu gradually couldn't resist.

    At this time, Xia Houen led the army to attack, and the morale of Cao's army rose sharply.  However, not long after Xia Houen's soldiers and horses arrived, a huge burst of dust came from the right, and another group of soldiers and horses were seen rushing towards them.  The leading general, wearing black armor and holding a broadsword, is Pei Yuanshao.  Pei Yuanshao shouted angrily, his flying horse flew wildly, and led his army to attack behind Xiahou En's troops.  Xia Houen's deployment was in chaos, and he was killed by the soldiers and horses led by Pei Yuanshao, leaving him unable to fight back.  Pei Yuanshao came straight to fetch Xia Houen. Xia Houen held a sword and tried his best to stop him!

    Xia Houen was originally Cao Cao's sword-carrying general, but later he was appreciated by Xia Houyuan and became Xia Houyuan's general.  In order to encourage his ambition, Cao Cao rewarded Xia Houen with the sword.  The name of this sword is Ri Qinghong. It is a peerless sword that can cut through iron like clay.

    By the way, Xia Houen swung his sword, and the sharp blade immediately cut the sword in Pei Yuanshao's hand into two pieces.  Pei Yuanshao was startled. At this time, Xia Houen swung his sword and struck again. Pei Yuanshao quickly moved away and the Qinghong Sword struck Pei Yuanshao's armor, splitting a fierce line of fire.  After the fire, Pei Yuanshao's armor immediately split into two.

    Pei Yuanshao's eyes narrowed, knowing that Xia Houen's sword was very good. In the critical situation, Pei Yuanshao forced out his body's potential and roared.  Just as Xia Houen struck with his sword again, Pei Yuanshao abandoned his hand and cut off the sword, grabbed Xia Houen's sword, and quickly stretched out his hand to snatch Xia Houen's sword.  How could Xia Houen be willing? This sword was given by Cao Cao, and he regarded it as his fate.  Xia Houen immediately fought with Pei Yuanshao for the sword. The two fought for a while, but they were still at a stalemate.

    For a moment, Xia Houen's eyes suddenly showed a sinister look, and he actually picked up the hilt of the sword with both hands and raised it vigorously. Pei Yuanshao quickly let go, and his ten fingers were almost cut off by the sharp sword light.  Xia Houen regained the Qinghong Sword and immediately slashed it at Pei Yuanshao's throat.

    Pei Yuanshao couldn't avoid it. Seeing that the iron-sharpening sword was about to strike, he shouted unwillingly in his heart, "My life is at stake!"  !  !

    At the critical moment, a spear suddenly penetrated Xia Houen's heart.  Xia Houen's eyes widened. Before he died, he tried his best to look back. What he saw was Zhang Xiu with a cold face.

    It turned out that Cao's army was in chaos under Pei Yuanshao's deployment and attack. Zhang Xiu took advantage of the situation and killed Le Jin. After defeating Le Jin, he saw Pei Yuanshao and Xia Houen fighting.  Zhang Xiu saw that Xia Houen's sword was powerful, and feared that Pei Yuanshao would make a mistake, so he rushed to help in the battle.  Xia Houen died soon after, falling off his horse.  Upon seeing this, the surrounding officers and soldiers of Cao's army were furious and surrounded and killed him.  When the sword fell from Xia Houen's hand, Pei Yuanshao hurriedly grabbed it, swung his sword to kill bravely, and killed him with Zhang Xiu.  Xia Houen was killed by Zhang Xiu, and Yue Jin was defeated. Cao Jun temporarily lost his command, and the chaos became out of control.

    Seeing that nearly a thousand grain trucks of Cao Jun were about to be burned down, suddenly there were bursts of violent and shocking shouts of killing.  I saw nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses led by Xun You and Chunyu swarming over.  Upon seeing this, Zhang Xiu quickly shouted to Pei Yuanshao.

    "Most of the other troops are about to arrive. General Pei, don't bother anymore and retreat quickly!"

    Pei Yuanshao shouted in response and ordered his troops to flee. Zhang Xiu also led his troops to escape.  When Xun You, Chun Yudao and others arrived with troops, the two civilian armies had already evacuated. Xun You hurriedly ordered his soldiers to put out the fire, while he also asked Chun Yudao to take precautions everywhere.

    On the other side, Xia Houyuan, who was fighting with Gao Shun and Hu Cheer, suddenly saw the fire in the rear and Zhang Tian immediately realized that his army's food, grass and baggage would be ambushed.  Xia Houyuan was angry and impatient. He wanted food and grass and did not dare to fight any more. He just swung away and left one of his soldiers and horses in the rear. He then rushed to rescue him with the rest of his elite soldiers.

    Gao Shun and Hu Che'er did not pursue them. After rectifying their troops, they immediately withdrew to Taiyuan.  The various departments of the civil army gathered their troops and rushed to Taiyuan City. It was just dawn. Gao Shun, Hu Che'er, Zhang Xiu, and Pei Yuanshao led their troops to Taiyuan City. Xu Shu had been waiting under the city gate for a long time.

    Gao Shun and other generals quickly dismounted and came to see Xu Shu.  At this time, the generals no longer had any doubts about Xu Shu, and Pei Yuanshao knelt down on one knee to apologize to Xu Shu.

    "Military Advisor"This is a great plan, but I am ignorant and have offended many people in the past. I hope that the military advisor will have more, so don¡¯t worry about it!  "

    Hearing this, Xu Shu smiled brightly, then helped Pei Yuanshao up and comforted him.  Xu Shu was very magnanimous and the generals also admired him.  Afterwards, the generals went into the city to have a banquet and reward the sergeants, which was of course a matter of course.

    But he said that Xiahou Yuan led his troops and the soldiers put out the fire. According to statistics, nearly half of the food and grass baggage was burned.  If Xun You hadn't made arrangements in time, I'm afraid that none of the food, grass and baggage would be left.  Xia Houyuan was extremely angry and shouted through gritted teeth.

    ¡°I would rather die here and vow to take over the state!!!!¡±

    Seeing that Xia Houyuan was so irritable, Xun You quickly remonstrated.

    "General Xiahou must not be so irritable. He is prone to chaos. How can he defeat his army like this? Although Gao Shun has a good command of troops, he does not necessarily have such a strategy. There must be an expert in Bingzhou to advise him.  , General Xiahou should be cautious!"

    "Master!? According to detailed reports from various places, Xi Zhicai is stationed in Hanoi, Tian Yuanhao and Li Zhongwen are deploying troops and horses in Xiliang, and Cheng Gongying is in Dongchuan. Wen Han has advisers, but these are the four. These four  If everyone is not in Bingzhou, who is the master who advises him?"

    Xia Houyuan was good at picking people's words, and his anger immediately subsided, his eyes narrowed, and his face became solemn.  Xun You was also thinking on the side, when Shen Pei, who was on the side, suddenly called out.

    "I heard earlier that the Xu family moved to Hedong. Earlier, the Prime Minister ordered Cheng Zhonglang to fake a family letter and deceived Xu Yuanzhi to leave Xinye. If Xu Yuanzhi learned that his family had gone to Hedong, would he also go to Hedong!?"

    "This!! If it is really Xu Yuanzhi, the battle of Bingzhou will be very difficult!"

    Xun You frowned, and his face couldn't help but look a little more worried.

    "Even so, the battle of Bingzhou is inevitable. After this period, half of our army's baggage was burned down. If there is a stalemate with the other army in the future and the supply of food and grass is insufficient, the morale of the army will definitely be in chaos. Please also ask the Inspection and Supervision Army to rush back to Jizhou and seize the food and grass again.  There is not much food in Jizhou, so the inspection and supervision army must be careful not to make any mistakes. "

    Xia Houyuan looked calm and said calmly.  The judge listened to the words and nodded to give orders.  After Xiahou Yuan discussed with Xun You and Shen Pei, the march slowed down slightly, and at the same time he sent Shen Pei back to Jizhou to ask for supplies.

    Xia Houyuan cautiously traveled all the way and rushed to Taiyuan City, ten miles outside Taiyuan City, near mountains and rivers, where he ordered his soldiers to cut down trees and set up a camp.  Xun You came to find Xia Houyuan and offered him a plan.

    "At this time, our army has not set up camp tents, so we can lure the other army to come and rob the camping camp. If the other army really comes, they will scatter their ambush troops in all directions and weaken their troops. When the cannon sounds and the ambush troops are all gone, we can take down a group of them to shake the morale of the army!"

    Xun You was very talented and wise. Among Cao Cao's advisers, his talents were not inferior to those of Guo and Jia.  Therefore, Cao Cao could safely leave the battle of Bingzhou to Xiahou Yuan and Xun You.  As soon as Xun You came up with this plan, Xia Houyuan suddenly looked happy and asked urgently.

    "The strategist's plan is brilliant, but how to seduce it?"

    "The general can ask the soldiers to pretend to be decadent because of the lack of food in the front. If the scouts of the other army find out the reward, they can tell Gao Shun. Gao Shun will most likely be unable to resist the temptation and send troops to rob the camp. At that time, this plan will be  Kejiye!¡±

    "That Xu Yuanzhi is very good, I'm afraid he will find out there is a fraud!"

    "General Xiahou can rest assured. Xu Yuanzhi has just surrendered to the other army, and the military power has not yet been established. How can the officers and soldiers of the other army obey his words?"

    Xun You spoke sharply and quickly. After hearing this, Xia Houyuan felt that this plan was very feasible, so he acted according to the plan and sent orders to the generals.  The generals followed the order and the ambush was completed.

    On the other side, Wen Jun scouts reported back. Gao Shun heard that Cao Jun's morale was low and the camp tent was not erected. Instead of showing joy, Gao Shun frowned slightly, feeling that there was a conspiracy.  However, Pei Yuanshao and Hu Che'er under the table were both happy and stood up one after another to ask for orders, saying they were willing to lead troops to attack the camp.

    Xu Shu heard the words and hurriedly attended the meeting to remonstrate.

    "No! Xiahou Miaocai and Xun Gongda are both sophisticated people. How could they not be prepared? If they deliberately lure them, lay an ambush, and attack the soldiers in the camp, they will be destroyed!"

    Pei Yuanshao immediately retorted because he had previously won a great victory and thought that most of Cao's army's food and grass had been burned, so it was reasonable for Cao's army to have low morale.

    "The words of the military advisor are fallacious. I think that Xiahou Miaocai and Xun Gongda are just people with a false reputation. Otherwise, our army would have easily burned more than half of the food, grass and baggage in the previous campaign. Why should we be afraid! If this attack on the camp is successful, we will surely capture them alive.  Xiahou Miaocai captured Xun Gongda alive!"

    "What General Pei said is true! If this operation is successful, Cao's army will be driven back and the danger of annexing the state will be eliminated! If General Gao looks forward and backward, and is too cautious, he will only miss the opportunity!"

    As soon as Pei Yuanshao finished speaking, Hu Che'er beside him immediately answered.  Xu Shu secretly sighed in his heart. Although Pei and Hu had won the previous battle, they still had no control over them.I respect him a lot, but I still don't believe in myself.  After Xu Shu finished thinking, he remained silent and looked at Gao Shun.

    Gao Shun was undecided for a moment, very hesitant, thought for a while and then said.

    "Everything you say is reasonable. However, Cao's army has always been deceitful, and there are no deceitful men under the great reputation. How can Xiahou Miaocai and Xun Gongda be ordinary people. Those who deceive the enemy will be defeated, so we must guard against it. Otherwise, we will  First send one army to conduct reconnaissance, and then place two armies to support the enemy on the left and right sides. If the plan is true, there will be a response. If not, if the three armies attack together, we will definitely achieve a great victory!  How?"

    "We are willing to follow General Gao's plan!"
