Recommendation tickets are also a good thing!  Smash it!  The land of China is covered with auspicious snow, and the outside of Runan City is covered with snow.  In the darkness of the night, the infantry team quietly approached the city, but the defenders at the top of the city were not aware of it at all.  There are about 3,000 people in this team, all wearing white robes, and they are very hidden in the snow.  The leading general was eight feet tall, had a leopard head with eyes, and carried a spear. He was Zhang Yide from Yan.  After Yuan Cao broke out in the Liyang area, Liu Bei had been coveting Runan. However, Cao Cao had been prepared for it. Not only did he send his clan brother Cao Hong to take charge of Runan, but he also arranged two capable deputies for him - Man Chong and Zhang Xiu.  .  Although Cao Hong is a reckless man, Man Chong is resourceful.  He was as careful as his hair; under his advice, Cao Hong firmly defended his position, not seeking merit but seeking no faults.  As for the remnants of the Yellow Turbans Liu Pi, Gong Du and others in the territory, they were allowed to run rampant in the territory, but they just stayed tight at the Runan City Government Office and did not leave, so as not to give Liu Bei an opportunity.  Wait for the decisive battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to end, and then settle the score with these bandits.  A few days ago, Man Chong¡¯s father died of cold. Man Chong traveled thousands of miles to his hometown in Shanyang.  This news was obtained by Liu Bei's scouts stationed in the city and quickly passed it to Liu Bei in Lujiang. Chen Gong's eyes were sharp and he keenly felt that the time had come to capture Runan, so he asked Liu Bei to secretly prepare troops to attack Runan.  Liu Bei now owns two counties, Huainan County and Lujiang County.  The number of soldiers and horses under his command has expanded to 50,000, and there are dozens of good generals.  There are also dozens of staff.  It has become a force that no prince dares to underestimate.  Huainan is the place of the Four Wars, the thoroughfare of nine provinces, surrounded by powerful enemies.  Liu Bei adopted Chen Gong's advice and ordered Guan Yu, Guan Ping and his sons, together with Liao Hua, Liu Xun, Li Feng and others to lead 15,000 troops to sit in Shouchun and form a rivalry with Lujiang River.  Liu Bei deeply admired Chen Gong's strategy.  Since getting his help, he has gone from being a stray dog ??living in other people's homes to embarking on a prosperous road.  Therefore, he followed Chen Gong's suggestions.  Since Chen Gong said that the time had come to capture Runan, Liu Bei ordered generals Zhang Fei and Wei Yan to lead 20,000 troops to follow Chen Gong towards Runan.  Liu Bei himself, Chen Dao, Mi Fang, and Mi Zhu led 20,000 troops to guard the Lujiang River to prevent the Sun family from Jiangdong from taking the opportunity to attack.  It is more than 300 miles from Lujiang to Runan. The mountain road is rugged and there are mostly withered vegetation on both sides of the road. The whereabouts are hidden, which is very advantageous for the advance.  After Man Chong left.  The weather was getting colder, and Cao Hong felt that only fools would use troops in these cold winter years, so he relaxed his vigilance.  Until Chen Gong and Zhang Fei led their troops into Runan, which was only eighty miles away from Pingyu County, Cao Jun's scouts still did not find Liu Jun's whereabouts.  After it gets dark.  Snow fell from the sky, and the sky and the earth were completely white.  Chen Gong ordered all the soldiers to apply pine oil and other cold-proof materials on their hands, march to Pingyu City overnight, and sent people to contact Gong Du and Liu Pi who had been secretly supporting Liu Bei.  Liu Pi and Gong have been entrenched in Runan for many years, and they have gathered more than 5,000 Yellow Turban remnants under their command.  He has been secretly communicating with Liu Bei and got an invitation from Chen Gong.  Xin Ran sent troops to help, and rushed to Runan City overnight to kill him.  By marching in a hurry in the middle of the night, Liu Jun had already approached Pingyu City, only twenty miles away.  Chen Gong was worried that if he continued to move forward, he would be seen by the defenders at the top of the city, so he ordered Zhang Fei to select 3,000 elite soldiers to put on the white clothes he had prepared before, and march towards Runan City under the cover of the white snow.  The army was caught off guard. After occupying the city gate, they raised fire as a signal, and then they and Wei Yan led the army to attack suddenly.  The sky and the earth were completely white, and large snowflakes fell. The defenders on the city took turns to avoid the snow, and the number of patrol troops was reduced by at least half.  It wasn't until Zhang Fei led his army across the moat and put the ladder on the city wall with his own hands that Cao Jun, who was defending the city, exclaimed: "No, there are enemy troops!"  Thousands of people gathered together and a rain of arrows burst out, killing them instantly. Liu Jun easily climbed to the top of the city.  "Hu'er hey" Zhang Fei roared, swung the spear in his hand, cut down the suspension bridge with his own hands, then captured the city gate, and ordered his people to raise fire on the top of the city as a signal to meet the armies of Chen Gong and Wei Yan.  Cao Hong and Zhang Xiu were awakened from their sleep and hurriedly organized the troops in the city to meet the enemy. Under the command of the second general, the 15,000 troops defending the city launched a counterattack towards the city gate.  Zhang Fei brandished a snake spear eight feet tall and led 3,000 elite soldiers to block the city gate with all their might, as unmoving as a rock.  Cao Hong and Zhang Xiu led their troops to attack desperately, but they were unable to recapture the city gate. Suddenly, Runan City wasThe sound of internal killings shook the sky, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.  Within an hour or so, Chen Gong and Wei Yan led their armies to attack. Liu Pi and Gong Du also led more than 5,000 Yellow Turban remnants from the north. They surrounded Runan from three sides and attacked fiercely. Cao Hong and Zhang Xiu could not resist, so they could only lead their troops to attack Runan.  Breakout west.  At dawn, a flag with the character "Liu" flew above Runan City, but within one night, the flag changed its owner.  It is only two hundred miles from Runan to Xuchang. Without Runan, the south side of Xuchang will lose its barrier.  Cao Hong collected the defeated troops and counted their numbers. He lost more than 4,000 people in this battle, and still had more than 10,000 troops under his command, so he retreated north to Shangcai and Ancheng to set up defense lines to prevent Liu Bei from advancing straight in and storming Xuchang.  He also sent people to rush to Guandu to report to Cao Cao.  It was particularly cold on both sides of the Yellow River. There was a thick layer of ice on the river. The soldiers could hardly stretch out their hands. The armor worn on their bodies was bone-chilling. After the scabbard was stained with frost, it was almost impossible to pull it out without using force.  The two armies of Yuan and Cao have been at a stalemate near Guandu for seven or eight days. Due to the cold, both Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have the intention to retreat. However, neither side is willing to withdraw from the battlefield if the enemy does not move and I do not move.  Even though Cao Cao had experienced hundreds of battles, he had long been indifferent to emotions and anger, but when he received Cao Hong's letter asking for help, he was still shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.  He slapped the case and cursed angrily: "The consequences of raising tigers, the consequences of raising tigers I really regret letting go of Liu Bei, the ungrateful big-eared thief! If Runan is lost, Xuchang will not be at peace, so retreat!" I didn't expect Liu Bei's combat power to be so amazing.  , all Cao Cao's staff were surprised. After thinking for a moment, it was Guo Jia who came forward to offer advice.  "Mr. Cao, Liu Bei's power has become stronger and it may be difficult to destroy him for a while. There is a large army of the Yuan family in the north. We are surrounded by enemies from both sides. If we attack from both sides, our army may not be able to support it. We should further deepen our relationship with Jiangdong Sun Ce and win over the Jiangdong army to contain Liu Bei.  , can the crisis in Xuchang be resolved!" Cao Cao thought for a moment and nodded in agreement with Guo Jia's statement.  He ordered Dong Zhao to take a trip to Jiangdong on his behalf, conferring the title of "Marquis of Wu" on Sun Ce in the name of the emperor, and betrothed his niece to Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Kuang as a concubine.  That's not all. In the name of the imperial court, Sun Ce's civil and military officials were given promotions and titles one by one, trying their best to win over them.  Dong Zhao received the order and took a dozen followers with him, and headed south through the snow, towards Jiangdong.  "Retreat your troops and wait until the spring warms before returning to Guandu to fight Yuan Shao!" Following Cao Cao's order, 60,000 Cao troops broke out of camp and retreated south.  When passing through Zhongmu County, two generals, Cao Ren and Le Jin, were left to garrison with 30,000 horses to prevent Yuan's army from marching in later.  Cao Cao himself returned to Xuchang at night with Xu Huang, Li Dian, Xu Chu and all his staff, preparing to plan a counterattack against Runan.  Hearing that Cao's army suddenly retreated eighty miles away, counselor Xun Chen hurriedly came to see Yuan Shao: "My lord, Cao's army suddenly retreated. There is most likely a military situation behind it. If it is not Liu Bei or Liu Biao, it threatens Xuchang. Please order my lord to march."  , Capture Chen Liu in one fell swoop!" Yuan Shao shook his head and rejected Xun Chen's suggestion: "It's so cold, how can we fight? It's only October, and the ice on the Yellow River is already a foot thick. How can it be done in the twelfth lunar month?"  Father, the weather is really cold. I¡¯m already shivering just by staying in the tent, let alone fighting! Let¡¯s retreat. Is the child¡¯s cold getting worse?¡± Yuan Shang, who had been warming himself by the fire, was wearing a thick cotton coat and his face was pale.  said.  Because Yuan Shang accidentally contracted the cold, Yuan Shao had been having trouble sleeping and eating these days. He had long wanted to retreat, but Cao's army refused to retreat, and he couldn't lose face and retreated voluntarily.  The Yuan family has already suffered two major defeats in Baima and Yanjin. If they take the initiative to retreat this time, others will inevitably think that they have lost again, so Yuan Shao hesitates.  But since it was Cao Cao who took the initiative to withdraw his troops, there would no longer be such rumors!  "Retreat, retreat, retreat!" Seeing his son's pale face, Yuan Shaolian said three retreats, stood up and walked to Yuan Shang, reached out and touched his hot forehead, and said worriedly: "Why is it getting hotter and hotter?  The doctors in the army are really useless! Let's return to Yecheng immediately and find the best doctor to treat my son!" Seeing Yuan Shao's fatherly look, Xun Chen had nothing to say, shook his head and left the commander's tent.  Yuan Shao immediately summoned his civil and military staff to discuss a retreat strategy.  After a military discussion, Yuan Shao made a decision. Two generals, Zhang He and Gao Lan, led 30,000 men to withdraw north to garrison in Yuanwu County, fifty miles northeast of Guandu, and confront Cao Ren in Zhongmu across Guandu.  Yuan Shao led the other troops back to Jizhou. When spring comes and the flowers bloom next year, he will march into the Central Plains and join Cao's army in Guandu.Decide between male and female.  Three days later, Gao Shun led his troops back to Huai County, settled the team properly, and went to the city to meet Yuan Mai.  Due to the heavy snowfall and inconvenient transportation, Yuan Mai's intelligence was much delayed. We still didn't know the news that Yuan and Cao suddenly withdrew their troops from Guandu. They were greatly surprised by Gao Shun's sudden return.  After listening to Gao Shun explain the ins and outs of the retreat, Yuan Mai smiled bitterly and said to himself: "Alasit seems that this cheap man's indecisiveness cannot be changed. He didn't even think about it. With Cao Cao's character  , will the troops retreat suddenly? This is a good opportunity to advance the front, but the troops retreated because of Yuan Shang's cold weather. It seems that my butterfly wings can't flap you." (To be continued.
