Three days later, outside Liyang City, there was a place called Cangting.

Yuan Shao integrated the army brought by the Yuan Tan brothers, stationed at the Cangting Pavilion, and immediately sent someone to send a letter of war to Cao Cao.

As the overlord of the north, Yuan Shao, who had four generations and three dukes, was definitely unwilling to be beaten so miserably by Cao Cao, a eunuch family, a low-ranking person.

As long as there is a chance, he can't help but want to get it back.

On the morning of the third day, Yuan Shao brought his three sons to the entire army and challenge Cao Cao.

Seeing that Yuan Shao dared to come back to find abuse, Cao Cao immediately ordered his troops to fight, and the two sides confronted him above Cangting.

"Yuan Benchu, you have already exhausted your plans, why not surrender?"

Cao Cao sat on the war horse, pointed at Yuan Shao with a whip, and said loudly: "When my knife is placed on your neck, it will be too late if you regret it."

Yuan Shao was furious when he heard this, and looked back at the general beside him and said, "Who would like to help me kill Cao Zhe as a vanguard!"

Yuan Shao's third son Yuan Shang wanted to show himself in front of him, and after hearing this, he rode his horse out of the battle.

"Cao thief, come and die!" Yuan Shang shouted at Cao Cao with awesomeness.

"Who is this boy?" Cao Cao asked.

Zhang He, who was beside him, said, "This is Yuan Shang, the third son of Yuan Shao! My subordinates are willing to capture him as the prime minister to boost his military power!"

"Accurate!" Cao Cao nodded.

Zhang He ran out his gun and rushed directly towards Yuan Shang.

"Traitor Zhang He, you dare to confront me too? Come and die!"

Yuan Shang naturally recognized who Zhang He was. He shouted angrily and attacked with a knife.

The distance between the two sides instantly narrowed, the two riders intersected, and the swords and guns collided, and they started fighting.

After fighting for less than three rounds, Zhang He could only hear anger and beat Yuan Shang's knife with a shot and flew out of his hand.

Yuan Shang was not Zhang He's opponent. He was shocked and turned around and wanted to run back, not daring to continue to linger.

"Little thief, don't leave!"

Zhang He slapped his horse and chased him, raised his spear, and rushed to stab Yuan Shang under the horse.

Whoosh!

At this moment, a sharp sound of breaking through the air came.

Zhang He quickly tied the reins and swung his gun to block it. He knocked a sharp arrow away.

Looking up, Zhang He saw Tuo Yi coming towards him with hundreds of people. He heard Tuo Yi shouting: "Protect the Third Young Master!"

The arrow just now was shot by Qu Yi, and the hundreds of people caught up with Zhang He in the blink of an eye.

"Junyi, I'll help you!"

Gao Lan saw Zhang He in danger, and he led hundreds of people out of the army to save Zhang He.

"Two traitors, kill them for me!"

When Yuan Shao saw Zhang He and the others, he was furious for a moment.

Among Yuan's army, all the soldiers charged forward.

When Cao's army saw each other, the army launched a large army. The two sides fought in a melee, but in the end they could not decide the outcome.

Until the afternoon of that day, the fight was exhausted and they all resounded for their own troops and returned to the camp.

Although Yuan Shao was at a disadvantage, he did have many soldiers and a wide range of generals, and the four northern states were abundant in materials.

When he was in Liyang, although Yuan Shao had lost his troops, he gathered a large number of soldiers so quickly to take revenge, which shows his strength.

Cao Cao was very afraid of Yuan Shao's background in the four northern prefectures, and was worried that delaying would be detrimental to him.

"Yuan Shao is coming again. What are your plans to defeat?"

After a big killing, Cao Cao quickly summoned Chen Yang and the others to discuss countermeasures in his main account.

Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Jia Xu and others thought for a long time, and finally shook their heads. In an instant, they could not think of any clever plan.

Just as they were silent, Chen Yang said slowly: "Ambushes on all sides can be broken!"

"Zi'an, you already have a clever plan?" Cao Cao said in surprise.

When the others heard this, they also looked at him expectantly.

Guo Jia asked, "How to ambush on all sides?"

Chen Yang said slowly: "Tonight, let the Prime Minister lead some people to attack the camp. Of course, it is not a real sneak attack. Once the Yuan army is discovered, retreat immediately. At this time, Yuan Shao saw that the Prime Minister was also in the army and would not let him go and chase him. The Prime Minister only needs to introduce Yuan Shao into our ambush."

Speaking of this, Chen Yang glanced at the generals around him and continued, "Dear generals, you each lead ten troops and ambush them. When the Prime Minister introduces Yuan’s army into you to ambush and launches another attack, Yuan’s army will be in chaos and we will win!"

"This plan is very good!"

Cao Cao thought for a moment and decided to use Chen Yang's strategy to divide his troops and arrange them first.

In the blink of an eye, it was that night.

At midnight.

Cao Cao brought Xu Chu and Dian Wei two personal guards, led 10,000 troops away from Liyang Camp and took Yuan Shao's Cangting Camp.

Because of this attack on the camp, Cao Cao did not deliberately hide it, and did it in a high-profile manner without being too obvious.

Before they could get close to Yuan Jun, they had already been discovered by the patrol soldiers.

"Enemy attack..."

The soldiers on patrol in Yuan Jun shouted, and at this moment, the entire camp was alarmed.

Just as Yuan Shao was about to go to bed, he suddenly heard the shouts outside. He hurried out of the main tent and looked at it, saying viciously: "Cao thief, how dare you attack the military camp at night. You are here to die!"

Next, Yuan's army launched five groups of troops and rushed towards Cao Cao.

According to Chen Yang's instructions, Cao Cao did not entangle with Yuan Jun. As long as he was discovered, they turned around and ran away.

"Cao Thief, don't leave!"

When Yuan Shao saw Cao Cao retreating, a raging flame suddenly ignited in his heart and shouted: "The whole army pursues, who can kill Cao's thief, reward 10,000 gold, and upgrade to three levels in a row!"

Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men.

This is the law of eternity.

Yuan Shao's soldiers were full of morale and chased Cao Cao's army to fight.

Even Yuan Shao's three sons were forced to show themselves and pursue Cao Cao with their own personal soldiers.

Where there are people, there must be struggle.

Even if Yuan Tan and the other three are brothers, they all want to be appreciated by Yuan Shao and be able to inherit the position of General.

At this moment, they were thinking that if they could come back with Cao Cao's head, they could make a big splash in front of their father.

Cao Cao did not dare to confront Yuan's army head-on, and fought and retreated until dawn was about to come, and they retreated to the edge of the Yellow River, where it was a dead end.

"Prime Minister, what should I do now?" Xu Chu asked.

"There is no way out, why not fight to the death?" Cao Cao shouted.

All the soldiers turned around and rushed towards Yuan Shao.

Xu Chu and Dian Wei are the most brave. They are like entering a state of no one in Yuan's army, and no one can stop them.

"Cao Cao, today is your doomsday!"

Yuan Shao followed the army. He rode on the horse and saw Cao Cao in front of him at a glance, commanding the soldiers to rush away.

"Yuan Shao, I will give you one last chance. Will you surrender now?" Cao Cao asked coldly.

"surrender?"

Yuan Shao laughed and said, "You don't even look at your current situation. What qualifications are you qualified to surrender?"

"Since that's the case, I can't blame me!"

Cao Cao smiled contemptuously, and waved his hand. A soldier beside him beat the war drum, and the sound suddenly rang throughout the river bank.

"Yuan Shao, come with your life!"

Hearing the drums sounded continuously, Xiahou Yuan led his troops to rush out on the bank of the Yellow River.
