    "Sergeant is exhausted and can take a break."

    When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes burst out with gunfire, and he shouted with an overwhelming aura.

    "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs? This is a great opportunity for our army to defeat the enemy's army in one fell swoop. How can we let it go!!"

    After Cao Cao finished drinking, he rode his horse forward.  Cao's army was inspired, and all the generals and soldiers worked hard to move forward, killing them all the way.  The remnants of the army led by Sun Ce were so frightened when they saw that Cao Jun was pursuing them that they fled in panic. L¨¹ Meng's soldiers who were guarding the back village were so overwhelmed by their own defeated troops that they couldn't hold on and fled behind them.  By daybreak, Cao Jun captured two villages in a row.  Countless weapons, saddles and horses were abandoned in the stronghold, but they were all recaptured by Cao's army.

    Sun Ce, Lu Meng and other generals led the remnant army and retreated into Huaiyin. Overnight, the originally arrogant Jiangdong Army was wiped out by Cao Jun, with nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses wiped out.  Moreover, Dong Xi was captured by Cao Jun, and Xu Sheng was wounded by Yu Jin with an arrow.  Both armies rested for two days each.  Two days later, after a round of analysis, Sun Ce learned that he had fallen into Cao Cao's arrogant soldier trick, and he was very angry.

    At this moment, a scout came hurriedly to report that Cao Jun was heading towards Huaiyin City to kill.  Sun Ce smiled coldly.

    "The old thief doesn't know how to use soldiers. The other army has been fighting hard for days and the soldiers are exhausted. Now he dares to challenge the battle again. It's really a fool's errand! Let's see how I can repel the old thief!"

    After Sun Ce finished drinking, he wanted to order his troops to fight.  Lu Su quickly remonstrated.

    "My lord, you can't. It's better to just hold on and don't act rashly!"

    Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud earthquake of golden drums outside the city, reporting that Cao Cao had arrived with his troops.  Sun Ce's face became colder and colder, and he shouted.

    "The old thief is not familiar with the art of war, he only relies on his brave ears! What is there to be afraid of!!"

    "Cao Cao has a plan, not just a brave one. My lord, you must never underestimate the enemy!!"

    Lu Su urged him again, but Sun Ce refused to listen, so he led five thousand soldiers and horses out of the city.  Cao Cao gathered his troops to meet him.  When Yu Jin saw this, he remonstrated urgently.

    "Your Majesty, wait a moment. The army has been fighting fiercely for days, so we should take a break."

    When Cao Cao heard this, he smiled confidently.

    "Otherwise, if God has given you a miraculous merit, it would be contrary to heaven not to take it. If you are writing, don't be hasty. You will already have a plan."

    After speaking, Sun Ce led troops to fight.  Xiahou Dun and Le Jin had been prepared for a long time. When they saw Sun Ce, their two generals came out to kill Sun Ce.  Sun Ce fought angrily.  After a while, Lu Meng came to help fight with his horse and spear.  Yu Jin shouted, danced with his gun, intercepted Lu Meng, and the two of them fought together.  .

    Suddenly, there were loud shouts in the city, fire shot into the sky, and the top and bottom were red.  Sun Ce and Lu Meng were shocked, and for a moment they felt as if they had fallen into an abyss of ice.

    It turns out that two days ago, Sun Ce was defeated and fled. A group of dozens of Cao soldiers infiltrated into the remaining Jiangdong army and entered Huaiyin City.  These dozens of people secretly contacted the noble families in the city for two days to convey Cao Cao's orders.  The Huaiyin clan resented Sun Ce's tyranny and were willing to obey him.

    Just now, when Sun Ce led his troops out of the city and Jiangdong's army was focusing on dealing with Cao's army, the Huaiyin clan took advantage of the situation to rebel and set fire to the city.

    With the fire, Jiangdong's army in the city was immediately in chaos.  Cao Cao took advantage of the situation and marched forward. Cao's soldiers rushed forward wildly. The Jiangdong soldiers outside the city were at a loss when they saw the fire in the city. Now Cao Cao's soldiers came down bravely again. In panic, they did not even bother to fight and fled in all directions.  Seeing that the situation was extremely strong, Sun Ce and Lu Meng had no choice but to flee.

    After a while, Cao Bing, with the assistance of the Huaiyin clan in the city, entered the city. Lu Xun led an army to escape to the north gate, while Lu Su, under the escort of Xu Sheng, fled to the east gate.  Jiangdong's army fled in chaos. After Cao Cao captured Huaiyin City, he quickly offered his plan.

    "My lord can send people to guard the Huainan Passage and force Sun Ce to go to Xiapi. In this way, he can be trapped and die in Xuzhou!!"

    "Cao Cao, a man like Cao Cao, had already thought of setting up this game, so he smiled at Yu Jin.

    "Haha! I have been fighting alone for a lifetime. If I am not as good as you in how to use the army, how can I win half of the country? I have already made plans!"

    Yu Jin was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then a look of endless admiration appeared on his face.

    It is said that Sun Ce lost Huaiyin and feared that he would be besieged by Cao's army, so he took the road to escape at the border between Huainan and Jiangdong overnight.  As soon as they arrived at a forest entrance, Sun Ce reined in his horse and started laughing. The generals were flustered and didn't know why.  Sun Ce smiled and said to all the generals.

    "Everyone in the world talks about how powerful the old thief Cao is, but I think he is just an ordinary person. If it were me, I would ambush an elite army here, force our army to turn away from Xiapi, and then besiege me. Otherwise, if you treat me  If I return to Jiangdong, I will surely make a comeback one day, just like letting a tiger return to the mountains!"

    Before Sun Ce could finish his words, a cannon shot suddenly sounded.  Just heard a loud laugh.

    "Hahaha! Wu Hou is very knowledgeable. My King Wei ordered me to be here and have been waiting for a long time!"

    I saw Jia Xu, wearing a blue brocade and red patterned robe, standing in the forest with a graceful demeanor, holding a red flag in his hand.  After a while, Jia Xu came to the rescueAs soon as the flag waved, the arrows in the forest were like a shower of arrows, and the arrows fell like squirts, causing the Jiangdong soldiers to flip over.  Everywhere around, there were loud beatings of drums and loud shaking, and the sound of horse hooves fighting continued to vibrate.  Sun Ce's face turned pale, and he was so frightened that he subconsciously turned his horse and ran away.  Jiangdong's army fled indiscriminately, and the generals couldn't stop drinking.

    The situation was like this, so Sun Ce had no choice but to flee while looking at Xiapi. The remnant soldiers from Jiangdong followed closely in panic, and rushed to Xiapi City at starry night.

    A few days later, Sun Ce rushed to the border of Xiapi to pick up the remaining soldiers, but at this time, there were only more than 10,000 troops left.  When Sun Ce was in a panic, he suddenly encountered the fast cavalry sent by Ling Tong.  When Sun Ce saw the soldier's expression of extreme panic, his heart suddenly tightened, and a hint of ominous omen enveloped his heart.  Sure enough, it seemed that Sun Ce had been recruited, and the soldiers reported to Sun Ce. Ling Tong was defeated by Cao General Xiahou Yuan, losing most of his troops. At this time, Xiapi City had less than 2,000 troops left, and it would be captured by Cao General in the near future.

    Sun Ce's face changed drastically when he heard this. If he loses his power, he will no longer have a base in Xuzhou. How can he deal with Cao Cao's tiger and wolf troops?  ?  Sun Ce immediately ordered his troops to rush on their way to rescue Xiapi City when it was breached.

    At this moment, Lu Xun suddenly spoke harshly and remonstrated.

    "My lord, wait a minute! With the current war situation, if our army flees to Xiapi City, our army will not be able to resist Cao's army with the strength of our army, and we will perish if we are trapped for a long time. In my opinion, we should take a long way to Yuzhou and meet up with the army of the governor.  What a great solution!¡±

    When Sun Ce heard this, his face turned cold, he hesitated for a while, and retorted.

    "No! The road to Yuzhou is long and there are many passes. In addition, we don't know where Gongjin's soldiers and horses live. If anything happens, the whole army will be wiped out. What's more, I know that Gongji and Chengyuan are surrounded by Cao's army.  How can we not save him?"

    Lu Xun's expression changed and he said anxiously.

    "My lord, this is a critical moment of life and death. Although it is dangerous to go far away from Yuzhou, there is still hope for life. But if we go down to Pi, we will be besieged by Cao's army. How can our army be able to recover by then!?"

    Lu Xun drank with all his strength. Sun Ce looked stunned and confused, but finally made up his mind.

    "Gongji and Chengyuan are my Jiangdong generals, and I am the lord of Jiangdong. If you don't save him, you will lose his support! Although the current situation is dangerous, it is not certain to defeat! Let's save Xiapi first, and then send him as soon as possible.  Gong Jin was ordered to mobilize troops to rescue him. At this time, Cao Cao's forces were fighting fiercely in Jingzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou. His generals and counselors were fighting everywhere. With Gong Jin's wisdom, there were few people in the world who could rival him.  The situation of the army in Yuzhou must be very good. Gong Jin has enough strength to call the army to rescue!"

    ¡°But water far away cannot save fire close by, my lord!!¡±

    "I have made up my mind!! No more words!!!"

    Lu Xun was about to remonstrate, but Sun Ce stopped him.  When Lu Xun saw that Sun Ce was determined to leave Pi, he hurriedly exchanged glances with Lu Su.  Lu Su was a kind-hearted person and would never abandon his comrades. At that moment, he even pretended not to see Lu Xun's eyes.  Lu Xun was helpless and lamented.

    Sun Ce decided to settle down and urged his army forward. Jiangdong's army rushed straight to Xiapi overnight.  It is said that Xia Houyuan trapped Ling Tong and Ding Feng to death in Xiapi, but he was not in a hurry to attack hard.

    A few days later, Xia Houyuan heard that the scouts had reported that a Jiangdong army with about ten thousand troops was heading towards Xiapi City.  After hearing this, Xia Houyuan smiled coldly, secretly saying that it was just as the king expected, and then ordered the army to withdraw from the stronghold. They retreated to a high mountain ten miles east of Xiapi City, where they camped and watched what happened.

    Xia Houyuan suddenly withdrew his troops. Ling Tong was puzzled and was about to send troops to investigate.  Suddenly soldiers came to report, and Sun Ce personally led the army to come to the rescue.  Ling Tong was overjoyed when he heard the news and quickly led his soldiers to the city walls to greet him.  After a while, Sun Ce led his troops and arrived. Ling Tong and Ding Feng knelt on the ground and accused him of the crime.  Although Sun Ce had a violent temper, he was extremely tolerant towards his officers and soldiers. Instead of scolding Ling Tong and Ding Feng, he comforted them nicely.  Ling Tong and Ding Feng were extremely moved, and they both secretly swore that they would go through fire and water for Sun Ce in this life, and their lives would be ruined!

    After being appeased, Sun Ce then led his troops into the city. Ling Tong informed Xia Houyuan that he had set up a stronghold in the mountains ten miles outside the city. He didn't know what his intention was.

    Sun Ce hesitated after hearing this. Lu Su saw that Ling Tong and Ding Feng were out of danger, so he hurriedly entered the admonishment road.

    "My lord, now that the two generals are out of danger, we should quickly return to the army and retreat to Jiangdong to make plans again!"

    Before Lu Su could make a decision, suddenly some soldiers rushed to report. After the report, Cao soldiers came to kill him from the south, west and north of Pi.  As soon as this retribution fell, the expressions of all the generals in Jiangdong changed.

    It turns out that as early as when Cao Cao was deploying his troops, he had already sent a fleet of cavalry to the East China Sea, and ordered Chen Deng to lead troops from the south and west to besiege Xiapi.  Cao Cao, on the other hand, led his army to take the northern route. Together with Xiahou Yuan who was stationed in the east, Cao Cao's army from four routes could be said to have surrounded the entire Xiapi City.

    Sun Ce's expression changed drastically, and he felt like a thunder blow. Lu Xun rushed to attend and remonstrated.

    "The urgent need now is that before Cao's army reaches the city, the Lord should send troops as soon as possible."A group of fierce generals broke out of the encirclement and rushed to Yuzhou to rescue the governor!  "

    "What Boyan said is absolutely true, who dares to go there!?"

    As soon as Sun Ce finished speaking, Pan Zhang responded with emotion and raised his hands.

    "I will go there eventually!!!"

    Sun Ce took a closer look and was overjoyed to see it was Pan Zhang.  At that moment, three hundred iron cavalry were given to Ding Feng.  Pan Zhang sent Sun Ce's documents, ordered three hundred brave men, rushed out of Xiapi City, and headed towards Yuzhou.  At the same time, Sun Ce ordered Ling Tong to lead two thousand troops as a response.

    Cao Bing's scouts stationed in the east found out and rushed to report to Xia Houyuan.  Xia Houyuan heard this but showed no signs of urgency, so he ordered three thousand elite soldiers and went down the mountain to form a formation to greet him.
