Wen Chou was killed by Cao Cao, causing the soldiers to go in chaos. Finally, after most of them were annihilated, all surrendered to Cao Cao.

Liu Bei, who escaped alone, was constantly pursued by the cavalry sent by Cao Cao. Liu Bei, who was exhausted from the war horses, was eventually caught up by the cavalry and forced into the corner of the forest.

Seeing that Liu Bei was facing such a desperate situation, the old man did not intend to pull out the sharp sword from his waist to deal with it, the cavalry thought that Liu Bei had given up on the ground and prepared to die silently. One of the cavalry generals rode his horse and slashed at Liu Bei.

Just as the tip of the gun was about to stab Liu Bei in the chest, a strong figure suddenly rushed out of the woods and knocked down the horse of the cavalry with its own impact, causing the cavalry to fall to the ground, unable to move.

Before the remaining riders could react, a silver spear flew from the depths of the woods penetrated the neck of the leader's general. He immediately fell off his horse. The dozens of riders were in panic until someone recognized the silver spear.

"Amber is wearing a gutted gun...it's Zhao Yun!"

A rapid sound of horse hooves came from the depths of the woods on their left. When they noticed that Zhao Yun had already rushed out of the woods, pulled out the Amber-carrying gun from the body of the leading cavalry at an extremely fast speed, and rushed towards the many cavalry generals.

In a moment, all the cavalry generals were shot by Zhao Yun, and none of them survived.

Zhang Fei, who rushed out and bumped into the fierce horse, felt that Zhao Yun had already dealt with the pursuers, so he put down his guard.

Zhao Yun returned to Liu Bei and turned over and got off the horse and knelt on one knee to salute Liu Bei:

"The last general rescue will come late, so please atone for your sins!"

Seeing this, Liu Bei walked up to help Zhao Yun up, and gently reached out to wipe off the enemy's blood stains on Zhao Yun's face:

"Zilong's words are serious. If you and Yide had not arrived in time, I think my head would have been taken to Cao Cao for me."

Zhao Yun seemed a little flattered in the face of Liu Bei's praise, so he quickly reported what Liu Bei had told him before:

"Lord, I have secretly sent to Runan by a large number of treasures buried by Gongsun Zan in the suburbs of Yijing. Liu Pi's rebellion work has been completed. Now that you have money as food and money, you can go to Runan at any time to make a comeback."

Seeing that Zhao Yun completed such a difficult task so well, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a little happy. He put his hand on Zhao Yun's shoulder and smiled: "Zilong has worked hard all the way. Now Runan has been my hand, so he can face Xu Du from Nan. At that time, I want to see what other way Cao Cao can do to deal with it."

The news of Liu Bei's escape reached Cao Cao's ears, and he suddenly felt a great sense of crisis. At this time, how to deal with the two thousand Yuan troops who surrendered became the top priority, so he had no extra time to care about Liu Bei.

Many generals think that we are short of soldiers at this time and can take them for their own use now.

However, Sima Yi did not think so. He analyzed that the reason why the surrenders of Yuan's army surrendered was that they were forced to do so. The current situation of Yuan Qiang and Cao Cao was not fundamentally resolved. Once Yuan Shao's army crossed the Yellow River, they were likely to rebel and return to Yuan Shao. By then, Cao Cao would still have hidden dangers of civil strife.

As for how they were dealing with, Sima Yi only came to one conclusion after thinking about it:

That means that you will be executed...

However, this move was too cruel, so as a temporary counselor who replaced Guo Jia, he did not tell Cao Cao this idea.

Just as Sima Yi was hesitating, Cao Cao said to the general who came to ask for processing:

"I will execute them all, and cut off their noses and put them in the box. I will give Yuan Shao a big gift."

Sima Yi was shocked again. In his opinion, it was already a waste of conscience to eliminate the lives of more than 2,000 soldiers. Now Cao Cao has to cut off all their noses, which is really against morality and human ethics.

Seeing his thoughts, Cao Cao asked bluntly: "Do you think my actions are inhumane and full of conscience?"

Sima Yi also answered the question that Cao Cao knew the truth and asked:

"Yes, I know that you did this to greatly dampen Yuan Jun's morale, but they..."

Sima Yi, who tried to dissuade Cao Cao, did not succeed. Before he could finish his words, Cao Cao interrupted him. He walked up to look down at Sima Yi:

"You are too naive. The so-called war is killing people..."

In Cao Cao's resolute eyes, Sima Yi seemed to see the night in Liyang City, the Cao Cao who discovered his whereabouts and planned to kill him to silence him. Is this the true face of the treacherous hero in front of him?

On the other hand, news of Sun Ce's assassination and death spread all over the world, and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's attitudes towards this were completely opposite.

Yuan Shao lost both battles at first, but his advantage was still obvious. Although he lost Yan Liang and Wen Chou, he still had three "dragon spears" in his hands, Zhang He, Gao Lan and Ju Yi. After being defeated by Cao Cao twice in a row, Yuan Shao made up his mind to fight to the death with Cao Cao. So he personally led the army across the Yellow River, and occupied the white horse Yanjin, which was voluntarily abandoned by Cao Cao, and approached Yangwu's main battle to find Cao Cao.

At this time, Guo Tu next to Yuan Shao suggested that Yuan Shao could send any one of the "Three Dragon Spears" to lead an elite force from Jingxian County, and Xinzheng directly penetrated into Xudu. His original intention was that Cao Cao had already gathered all the main forces he could use on the Guandu line. Xudu's defense would inevitably be empty, and once he led the elite troops to attack, the chance of successful attack was very high.

Xu You's opinion gave Yuan Shao a great inspiration, and he could summon three generals Zhang, Gao and Ju. At first he planned to send Gao Lan, but Zhang He and Gao Lan did not agree with this risky move. Zhang He advised:

"Cao Cao used his troops to get the right skills, so he naturally thought that you would send troops to raid Xudu, and there would definitely be ambush along the way, so..."

Zhang He's words reminded Yuan Shao of the pain of taking two consecutive advances. He began to hesitate. At this time, another Ju Yi was completely disdainful of this and turned around to sarcastically sarcasticly at Zhang He beside him:

"Cao Cao just killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou, which made the two generals so frightened. How could he win if the enemy is so afraid of it?"

Ju Yi has always been very happy with merits and often looks down on Zhang He, Gao Lan, who is as famous as him, and always wants to overwhelm them. This time he saw the opportunity and tried his best to urge Yuan Shao to agree with Guo Tu's opinion to encircle Xu Du from the West. Yuan Shao considered that he also wanted to suppress Zhang He through this matter, so he asked Ju Yi to quickly move south with thousands of elite cavalry.

When Ju Yi's men passed through Jing County, they did not find any Cao's soldiers to stop him. Ju Yi thought that Cao Cao would now concentrate his troops on Guandu, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Sili's borders to guard against the princes. It was inevitable that the middle was empty. So he accelerated his advance and headed straight for Xinzheng, but he never thought that the army was intercepted by Cao Ren before they even passed Xinzheng. The young general Hao Zhao and Jia Kui, who had recently defected to Cao Ren, led the cavalry to rush into Ju Yi's formation from both wings, and Ju Yi rushed to fight.

"Ju Yipeng, young master Hao Zhao is here!"

Ju Yi raised the Hotan Fang Gun in his hand to fight against Hao Zhao. After dozens of rounds, Hao Zhao shot him in the chest and fell under the horse.

"A such a good gun fell into your hands, it's really a violent destiny."

Hao Zhao picked up the Hotan Fang Gun from the ground and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but exclaim.

Influenced by Cao Cao's previous cut off the nose of the surrendered soldiers of Wen Chou and sent it to Yuan Shao, thinking that he was almost the same as Yan Liang and Wen Chou's troops, the soldiers led by Ju Yi began to be frightened and their fighting spirit was greatly reduced. Ju Yi quickly jumped onto a horse and fled towards Yang Wu with the remaining defeated generals.

Yuan Shao, who had long been proud of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, led to a crushing defeat and damaged the morale of the army, could not tolerate the reality of Ju Yi losing his gun. It happened that Guo Tu was afraid that Yuan Shao would take his anger for his advice, so he told Yuan Shao that Ju Yi has always been proud of his contributions and did not take Yuan Shao seriously. This time, he failed because of carelessness. If Yuan Shao did not punish him, he would be unable to convince the public. If he was punished lightly, Ju Yi would definitely hold a grudge and would rebel in the future.

When Yuan Shao heard this, he was very immense and immediately ordered Ju Yi to behead him and showed him publicly.

The news that the "Three Dragon Spear" had damaged one reached Guandu, and Guo Jia and Sima Yi both laughed at each other.

Because the idea of ​​deliberately letting Cao Ren let Ju Yi go was exactly what Guo Jia and Sima Yi came up with. The reason was obvious: Ju Yi was arrogant and would definitely not surrender easily, but Guo Tu's character would definitely push all the responsibility for defeat to Ju Yi after Ju Yi returns to the camp to achieve the goal of self-protection. If Yuan Shao killed Ju Yi, the hearts of the soldiers would be depressed, and the morale of the army would naturally be shaken.

Sima Yi and Guo Jia stood in front of the sand table and watched the garrison position placed with different red and blue pieces on them. Guo Jia gently reached out and picked up a blue piece of wood placed in Yangwu and threw it into the torch:

"Now, only Zhang He, Gao Lan and Ju Yi are under Yuan Shao's tent. Now Yuan Shao cut off his arm, which will cause some more or less shock to Zhang He, Gao Lan's heart."

Sima Yi, who was standing beside him, heard what Guo Jia said: "Do you want to conquer them?"

"Zhang He and Gao Lan are all powerful generals in the world, especially Zhang He's literary and martial arts are unattainable in Hebei. It would be a pity to accompany the Yuan clan to be destroyed in the long river of history..."

Guo Jia's words were a strong sense of cherishing talent. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a severe pain in his chest, which made it difficult for him to support his body. His hands were tightly supported on the wooden frame beside the sand table, and his ferocious expression caught Sima Yi off guard.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Sima Yi stepped forward and held Guo Jia's arm. Looking at his sweaty face and gasping, Sima Yi recalled several times when Guo Jia had not had obvious discomfort symptoms during the conversation with him.

"Haha, I won't fall down so soon, because I can live for at least seven years..."

Seven years are too short for Guo Jia's prime age. Sima Yi asked with a worried look on his face:

"Seven years? How could your body be..."

Guo Jia endured the severe pain in his chest and supported himself, twisted his face as white as paper and looked at Sima Yi with a smile as before. The tremolo sounds were very obvious: "Can you pour me a glass of water?"

After slowly letting go of Guo Jia's arm, Sima Yi turned around and came to the side of the table. He reached out and picked up the bronze teapot and poured some water into the teapot. When he picked up the teapot, he accidentally touched a broken bamboo slip on the table on the table to the ground. Sima Yi put down the teapot and wanted to put it back to its original place, but accidentally discovered the content on the bamboo slip.

In amazement, the teacup in his hand slid down to the ground, and the water spilled all over the floor...
