    When the generals of Cao's army saw Yu Jin's unparalleled bravery in taking the enemy general's head out of ten thousand troops, they all exclaimed in surprise.  After a while, Yu Jin was unstoppable and wanted to kill Lu Su.  Lu Su had no choice but to draw his horse and run away.  As soon as Lu Su fled, Cao Cao immediately ordered his troops to attack. Cao's army broke through bravely, but Lu Su's troops could not resist and fled each other.  Yu Jin rushed left and right in the rebel army, but after breaking through several rounds of obstacles, he saw that Lu Su had fled far away, and fearing that Cao Cao would make a mistake, he quickly rode back to Cao Cao.  At this time, Xiahou Dun, Le Jin and other generals arrived later. Cao Cao was overjoyed and was about to find a way back to the stronghold.

    Looking at the sky at dusk, another burst of overwhelming shouts of killing arose.  From where the shouts started coming from behind, Sun Ce was seen rushing over on horseback with a gun in hand, shouting sternly.

    ¡°Old thief Cao, please stop leaving!!! I will take your head today!!!¡±

    At this time, Cao's army was trapped and out of horses. Everyone looked at each other and wanted to escape.  When Xiahou Dun saw this, he drank with excitement.

    "Your Majesty, Wuyou! Look at how I, Xiahou Yuanrang, can repel the tiger!!!"

    After Xiahou Dun finished drinking, his eyes were full of murderous intent, he drew his spear and rushed towards Sun Ce to greet him.  When Sun Ce saw that it was Xiahou Dun who was coming to kill him, he knew that he was the most brave general under Cao Cao's command, so he rallied himself to meet Xiahou Dun.  The two horses charged each other, and they clashed for a moment. In order to regain the disadvantage, Xiahou Dun ignored the defense and risked his life to attack. The offensive was very fierce.  Although Sun Ce was superior to Xiahou Dun in martial arts, he was unwilling to risk his life with Xiahou Dun. For a while, he was killed by Xiahou Dun and was slightly at a disadvantage.  When the generals of Cao's army saw this, their fighting spirit was burning. Yu Jin and Le Jin shouted in unison, clapped their horses left and right, and went out to kill.  Two generals came out from behind Sun Ce, they were Lu Meng and Xu Sheng. They resisted Yu Jin and Le Jin, each fighting at one point.

    The generals of both sides fought fiercely, and the soldiers aroused their fighting spirit. Cao Cao gave an order, and Cao's soldiers rushed forward. Lu Xun and Lu Su were behind, and they commanded the Jiangdong troops to meet them. The two armies fought together until dusk.  Suddenly, the color of the sky changed, thunder rolled down, and heavy rain fell. The soldiers and horses of both sides were exhausted from fighting, and each led their troops to disperse.

    When Cao Cao returned to the stronghold, he thought of Yu Jin's heroic efforts to rescue him and rewarded him heavily. He worshiped him as General Huwei, named him Lihou, and wrote a document praising him.

    "The force is strong, the strategy is well prepared, the character is loyal, and the integrity is upheld. Whenever there is a battle, he is always in charge of the command. He works hard to break through the strongholds, and he is not able to fall into any strong position. He supports himself with drums and drums, and his hands are tireless. It can be called the power of a tiger.  . He also sent troops to conquer, commanded the troops, managed the army harshly, and maintained peace with the people. He did not commit any offense when ordered, and he was responsible for defeating the enemy. Therefore, he was granted the title of Marquis Li.

    He cried while reading the book in the ban, and became Cao's ghost to death, serving him for the rest of his life.  When all the generals heard about this, they all took it as an example, hoping that they could also be honored like Yu Jin.

    It is said that Xia Houyuan led an army to kill Xiapi.  Ling Tong heard this and hurriedly led his troops to Qu County to attack.  When Xia Houyuan's troops reached the border of Qu County, Ling Tong wanted to send troops to meet him personally.  Ding Feng was afraid that Ling Tong's injury was not healed, and he knew that Xia Houyuan was an excellent archer, so he was afraid that Ling Tong would make a mistake, so he quickly persuaded him.

    "Xiahou Miaocai is a general under the command of Cao Cao. This person is extremely brave and well versed in strategy. We should not underestimate the enemy's performance. We should defend the city and wait for the lord to defeat Cao Cao and the other troops are panicked.  Taking advantage of the situation and attacking is the best strategy!"

    When Ling Tong heard this, he smiled disdainfully.

    "Although this man is good at archery, I have two whips to block him, so why bother? Chengyuan doesn't need to worry too much. Let's see how I defeat him tomorrow!"

    Ling Tong narrowed his eyes. He had lost more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the previous battle. At this time, he was eager to make meritorious service and wanted to save his reputation.  Seeing that Ling Tong was very impatient, Ding Feng frowned and tried to persuade him again.

    "With his courage in public service, he is naturally not afraid of the talented Xiahou. However, in recent months, in order to retaliate against Chen Deng, my lord has massacred the people in Xiapi to vent his hatred. Many people in the city are hostile to my people from Jiangdong. What if something happens?  Is good!?"

    "Hmph! Chengyuan doesn't need to worry too much. My lord has subdued the barbarians in Xuzhou. The barbarians are greedy for life and afraid of death. How can we make a mistake!? In my opinion, now is the time to defeat Cao's army in order to shock the power of our Jiangdong army and teach these barbarians  The people know that our army is powerful and they don¡¯t dare to rebel!¡±

    Ling Tongyi wanted to go to war, but Ding Feng tried to persuade him in vain.  The next day, Ling Tong led his troops out of the city. Shortly after leaving Qu County, he encountered Xia Houyuan's troops. The two armies then positioned themselves so that they faced each other.  Ling Tong stood under the gate flag, holding two whips, shouting curses, and wanted Xiahou Yuan to fight.

    Hearing this, Xia Houyuan's eyes narrowed and he looked towards the battle. When he saw the five words "Yu Hangling's Public Achievements" written on the flag, he grinned.  Xia Houyuan had heard a lot about Ling Tong. He was a fierce general among the younger generation in Jiangdong. Apart from Lu Ziming, he was the most famous among the young soldiers in Jiangdong.

    Xia Houyuan pondered for a while, then clapped his horse and rushed out.  When Ling Tong saw Xia Houyuan coming out of the battle, he smiled coldly, shouted loudly, danced his whips, and galloped his horse to fight Xia Houyuan.  The two fast horses charged toward each other. When they were close, Xia Houyuan suddenly swiped his spear. Ling Tong opened his eyes and used one whip to stop him, and the other to Xia Houyuan's face.  Xia Houyuan was startled and quickly turned to avoid it.  Just after evading it, Ling Tong's attack came again.Both whips came out and stabbed Xia Houyuan directly in the chest.  Xia Houyuan hurriedly raised his gun to stop it. Ling Tong's force was very strong, and there was a loud bang.

    "There is no false person under the great reputation. This boy is really great!"

    In the midst of lightning and flint, Ling Tong's offensive came again, his whips danced tightly, and the offensive was so fierce that Xia Houyuan was retreating for a while, and he defended blindly.

    After a while, the two fought for dozens of rounds, and Xia Houyuan suddenly drew his horse and ran away.  Ling Tong thought he was disheartened and retreated, so he chased after him, yelling and swearing.  When Xia Houyuan saw that Ling Tong, a young and energetic young man, was really chasing him, he sneered in his heart and flew with more whip, gradually widening the distance between Ling Tong.

    Just when Xia Houyuan was about to reach his formation, Xia Houyuan suddenly stopped his horse, held down his gun, picked up his bow and loaded the arrow, all at once.  Ling Tong was chasing after him in a hurry, and when he saw Xia Houyuan suddenly aiming at him, his expression suddenly changed.

    There was a ¡®bang¡¯ sound.

    An arrow flew out, carrying the image of a crawling giant wolf.  Ling Tong quickly gathered his momentum and pressed down on his double whips. The arrows were about to fly and hit Ling Tong.  Ling Tong shouted loudly and whipped out his whip, hitting the arrow.

    Xia Houyuan's eyes narrowed, and he saw a huge black ape appearing behind Ling Tong. The black ape held a huge whip and swiped at his black wolf, and the black wolf dispersed with a single blow.

    Xia Houyuan's face was cold and gloomy, and he grabbed dozens of thin arrows from his quiver.  Ling Tong had just defeated the hidden arrow, but before he could recover, the bowstrings rang out loudly.  In front of his eyes, he seemed to see dozens of black wolves rushing towards him. A strong sense of crisis suddenly filled Ling Tong's body. Ling Tong hurriedly waved his whips, beating him randomly.

    The roar of the giant ape's chest could be heard. After a wave of arrows, Ling Tong was hit by a thin arrow on his right shoulder.  Ling Tong gasped for air and stared at Xia Houyuan.  Seeing that Xia Houyuan was about to launch an offensive again, Ling Tong was frightened and subconsciously pulled out his horse and fled.  Xia Houyuan fired arrows from behind, but Ling Tong stepped back and blocked him. He saw that Ling Tong was getting farther and farther away.  Xia Houyuan shouted angrily and ordered the entire army to attack and kill them.  Cao's army came in force, but Jiangdong's army could not resist and fled in defeat.

    Xia Houyuan took advantage of the situation and pursued him all the way to Qu County.  When the people in the city saw that Cao Jun was chasing Jiangdong soldiers and horses, they suddenly broke out and rushed to the north gate together. Unexpectedly, the Jiangdong defenders were killed and dispersed by the people of Qu County, who seized the city gate.  Seeing that Ling Tong was leading the remaining soldiers to come, he hurriedly asked people to pull up the suspension bridge.

    Ling Tong was being chased by Cao Jun, when he suddenly saw the suspension bridge being pulled up, and he quickly shouted.

    ¡°Hurry up and open the door!!!!¡±

    Ling Tong's hysterical roar did not frighten the people of Qu County. They only heard the people of Qu County yelling at Ling Tong in unison.  When Ling Tong saw the people of Qu County in the city, he turned pale with fright.

    Cao's army was rushing towards them from behind. Ling Tong was helpless and feared that his army would be surrounded by Xiahou Yuan's troops, so he ordered his army to flee towards Xiapi City.

    Ding Feng heard that soldiers came to report that Ling Tong was defeated. The people in the city rebelled and captured the north gate.  Ding Feng quickly gathered his troops and horses, opened the east gate and looked down at Pi City to escape.

    At this point, Xia Houyuan, with the help of the people of Qu County, recaptured Qu County.  When Cao's army entered the city, the people cried and worshiped on the ground, each coming to report Sun Ce's tyranny.  Xia Houyuan heard the murderous intention, but he suppressed it and calmed the people.

    After a long battle, the soldiers were all exhausted, so Xia Houyuan ordered all the troops to rest.  Liu Ye, the Sima who accompanied the army, came to see him and admonished Xia Houyuan.

    "The people are in misery, and the tiger's cruel behavior has made the sky angry and people resentful. The general should take advantage of the situation and attack Xiapi in one fell swoop!!!"

    "What Liu Sima said is absolutely true! After the soldiers have rested, I will send out troops to attack the evil thieves tomorrow!"

    Xia Houyuan narrowed his eyes and nodded heavily.  The next day, Xiahou Yuan ordered Liu Ye and others to guard Qu County, while he led his troops to kill Xiapi.  Ling Tong was defeated for a while and lost Qu County. When he heard that Xia Houyuan had arrived with his troops, he did not dare to go out to fight without permission. He ordered his soldiers to guard the city closely. At the same time, troops and horses were sent to patrol the city day and night to guard against rebellion by the people in the city.

    Xia Houyuan led his army to Xiapi City. He looked at the heavily fortified city and saw that Xiapi City was extremely strong. He did not want to attack by force, so he ordered the army to retreat forty miles to the village.  Jiangdong scouts outside the city saw Xiahou Yuan's troops retreating to the village forty miles outside the city, and quickly reported to Ling Tong.  When Ling Tong heard this, he knew that Xiahou Yuan saw that Xiapi City was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he did not dare to attack fiercely, so he felt relieved.  Ling Tong then asked Ding Feng to discuss how to defeat the enemy.

    Ding Feng pondered for a while and said in a condensed voice.

    "There is a saying in the art of war that only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one be victorious in every battle. Cao's army is forty miles away, so why not lead a team of soldiers and horses to go and find out the truth?"

    "Chengyuan's words are exactly what I want!"

    Ling Tong did not want to defend blindly, and the people in the city were very hostile. If Xia Houyuan was not driven back early, something unexpected would happen sooner or later.  So Ling Tong led 300 fast cavalry and left the city to drive towards Cao Jun's stronghold.Come.

    When Cao Jun approached the stronghold, Ling Tong suddenly ordered the sergeants to stop. The sergeants were all suspicious. Ling Tong smiled calmly and pointed to a forest on the left. He saw that there were lush trees in the forest, and it was very likely that soldiers and horses were ambushed.
