Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was noon the next day. The time Huang Zu reserved for Cao Ang and the others was almost the same.

Seeing that there was no reaction in Xu Ducheng, Huang Zu was very angry at this moment, and he had received a secret letter from Liu Biao. If Xu insisted on not giving Wenpin, he could pretend to attack, but he would never really fight, mainly to threaten Cao Ang and the others.

Because of this, after noon that day, Huang Zu immediately commanded the army to gather and surrounded Xu Du's city gate.

Before the siege was started, the gate of Xudu was opened. Then Li Dian rushed out with 20,000 people. First, a row of crossbow arrows shot over, and the soldiers who rushed to the front of Huang Zu immediately fell down.

"This distance... is at least three hundred steps, how could their arrows shoot so far?" Huang Zu saw this scene, he was stunned, and then felt incredible.

Then the crossbow arrows continued to shoot, densely filled with raindrops, and Huang Zu was almost shot under the horse. He quickly directed the soldiers to retreat and did not dare to fight against those crossbow arrows anymore because their bows and arrows did not have such a long range.

When Li Dian saw Huang Zu retreating, he followed Chen Yang's method and immediately chased and attacked.

When they were really fighting, the crossbow arrows really made up for the shortage of people just right, which made Huang Zu's soldiers unable to get close to each other and were shot and killed as soon as they entered the range.

The two sides were stalemate outside the city for nearly two hours. At this moment, a deafening shout of killing suddenly came from behind Huang Zu.

"Zu Huang, come with your life!"

Huang Zu looked back and saw a team of tens of thousands of people appearing behind them at some point and rushing towards them.

"Retreat, the whole army retreat!"

Under such a situation of attacking from the front and back, Huang Zu did not dare to fight again, otherwise he would be the one who died.

But they had not had time to evacuate all, and the troops in the rear were approaching, and Li Dian also took the opportunity to lead 20,000 people to kill them.

In an instant, Huang Zu's troops were in chaos and were defeated.

Unfortunately, Huang Zu was finally allowed to kill him under the protection of hundreds of personal soldiers and let him escape.

Seeing this, Li Dian shouted, "It's a pity."

At the same time, in the north of Xudu.

Ye Shun led the factory soldiers and the 20,000 people who asked Li Dian to come, and lies beside a must-pass way to Xudu.

"General, a group of people were found in front of him, with a banner with the word "Yuan". It should be Yuan Shao's people who came."

At this moment, soldiers sent out to act as scouts in front of him hurried back.

"We're finally here, how many of them are there?" Ye Shun asked in a deep voice.

"There are about 10,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry." The scout said hurriedly.

"There are still a lot of people. I will send orders to prepare for the entire army. After the enemy enters the ambush, I will take action again after I take orders."

Ye Shun whispered again: "According to the lord's instructions, run away after the fight, don't fight, and don't stay."

Chen Yang only wanted to use ambush, crossbows and arrows to catch Yuan Shao's people off guard and kill the enemy troops, so he had to retreat.

If the enemy is suddenly attacked, he will definitely be in chaos. If he is worried about ambushing and dare not pursue him, Ye Shun and the others will be able to escape unscathed.

After a long time, Yuan Shao's army finally arrived. Under Ye Shun's order, crossbows and arrows were fired at once, and various ambush traps also appeared in a series of series.

At this moment, the enemy was in chaos.

Seeing this opportunity, Ye Shun led the cavalry to rush out first and killed all the soldiers on the edge.

The remaining 20,000 soldiers, led by a deputy general, suddenly appeared from all around, killing many people on the verge of chaos.

When the Yuan army general woke up, Ye Shun ordered a retreat.

In this way, a team of more than 20,000 people quickly killed nearly 20,000 Yuan Shao and successfully escaped.

As Chen Yang predicted, Yuan Shao's army did not dare to chase after him, and they were worried that there would be ambush ahead.

Furthermore, they were seriously injured and did not dare to pursue them again.

——

In the evening of that day, Chen Yang received the final result, which was not much different from what he thought.

Huang Zu was defeated and Liu Biao's entire army retreated. He no longer asked whether Wen Pin would release him.

Yuan Shao's troops were ambushed and retreated from Xu Du's range and dared not come again.

"After this battle, who dares to look down on us Xu Du in the future?" Cao Ang looked at the battle report and laughed proudly.

Chen Yang said calmly: "Although we won once, there are still many battles to fight if this troubled time doesn't end. We can't guarantee that we can win next time, and we can't be too proud."

Cao Ang nodded after hearing this, "What you said is that if you want to avoid fighting, you can only wait for your father to pacify the world."

As he said that, he seemed to remember other things and frowned slightly, "Shopkeeper Chen, is there someone who wants to see you? Is it convenient for me to go out with me?"

"Is it Xiahou Chong?"

Chen Yang had guessed who hesitated for a moment and agreed, "You can meet him."

Xiahou Chong, whose courtesy name is Ziyong, was the eldest son of Xiahou Dun and the eldest brother of Xiahou Qi.

All of them were calm, but Xiahou Shi's affairs have not been resolved yet.

Cao Ang was stunned, then smiled and said, "You guessed it before I said who it was, but... this happened to the Xiahou family and it is still unrelated to you. No matter what, you have to meet Xiahou Chong."

After receiving Chen Yang's approval, Cao Ang arranged to go out.

This time they went to the Xiahou family. As soon as they walked into the gate of the Xiahou family, they saw a man about the same age as Cao Ang, walking anxiously next to the door.

He is Xiahou Chong.

Seeing that Cao Ang finally came, Xiahou Chong hurriedly said, "Zi Xiu, I'm waiting for you. Is this shopkeeper Chen? Come in quickly!"

Xiahou Chong didn't dare to neglect Chen Yang. He knew what happened to Xu Du, and he also knew that Xu Du could be safe and sound, which was Chen Yang's credit.

Also, before Xiahou Dun left Xudu, he had ordered Xiahou Chong many times to not offend Chen Yang.

He is not as impulsive as Xiahou Qi, and is easily exploited by others, and can distinguish the pros and cons of it.

The three of them walked into the hall of Xiahou's house together. After Chen Yang sat down, Xiahou Chong immediately bowed in front of him and said, "It's Zilin who is ungrateful and offended Manager Chen. Here, I miss you for Zilin."

Chen Yang shook his head and said, "Ziyong, I think you misunderstood something. Xiahou Wei was not me but the prime minister. Xiahou Wei and the Sima family joined forces to seek Xu Du. What a crime is that?"

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Chong was so nervous that his forehead was covered with sweat.

If this matter is serious, it is that their Xiahou family wants to rebel.

"Ziyong, if you want to see me, in addition to apologizing, you still want me to let Xiahou Yan go, right?"

Seeing his nervous expression, Chen Yang directly revealed his thoughts.

Xiahou Chong had nodded and said, "That's right, after Zilin was imprisoned, my mother washed her face with tears every day. I originally wanted to ask Manager Chen to give up his hands, but... it was Zilin's own fault. Manager Chen was already kind to us if he could let Zilin go and not kill him. As for asking for release, I was ashamed to speak out!"

After saying that, he bowed slightly again, very respectful.

Chen Yang said, "I won't kill him because I have promised General Xiahou to spare him and let him die. I can promise you if I let Xiahou Yan go."

"Really?"

Xiahou Chong was very happy at first, and soon he said, "Will this be inconsistent with the rules?"

Chen Yang said disapprovingly: "I caught the man, so I can naturally let him go, but you have to take good care of him in the future. If something like rebellious to the prime minister happens, it is not as simple as it is now."

Xiahou Chong hurriedly said, "This is certain. When Zilin comes back, I will lock him up in person. I will not leave the house for another half step. Please rest assured, Shopkeeper Chen."

"In addition, please don't worry, Zixiu. I promise with my life that similar things will not happen again. This time, our Xiahou family owe you a favor."

This favor is optional for Chen Yang, but it is somewhat useful to Cao Ang.
