Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 201 Deviating to Tiger Mountain

That head is none other than Li Feng who stayed behind in Xi'e City!

Jin Shang was terrified in his heart, looked up, and saw that on the top of the city, there was one person standing first, it was Cao Cao, and standing on both sides were Cheng Yu and Yu Jin.

Seeing Jin Shang's distressed appearance, Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Jin Inspector, are you safe? I have taken Xi'e City for a long time."

It turned out that when Jin Shang and Liang Gang were besieged by Cao Cao's ambush, Cao Cao personally led the army, and together with Yu Jin, they went straight to Xi'e City.

Then, Cheng Yu tricked Li Feng out of the city, beheaded him in Yu Jin, and took Xi'e City.

The [-] soldiers in the city dispersed when they saw that the chief general had been killed, and all fled.

Jin Shang felt remorse at this moment. Of the 5 horses, there were only a few hundred riding beside him in a blink of an eye, and the rest would either die or flee.

"Cao Cao, I swear to kill you!" Jin Shang roared angrily, but it sounded like he was strong on the outside but lacked confidence.

At this moment, the gate of Xi'e City was opened, and Yu Jin led the troops to rush out to take Jin Shang.

Jin Shang was shocked, he had long forgotten the oath he had just made, he quickly turned his horse's head and fled.

"General, ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Let's go back to Nanyang for now." Said the sergeant next to him.

Jin Shang nodded quickly, and said: "That's right, in the future, I will make a comeback and kill Cao Cao!"

Yu Jin chased and killed more than half of the hundreds of soldiers, but Jin Shang escaped and fled to Nanyang in the starry night.

In fact, some deserters fled back to Nanyang and told Yuan Shu about Jin Shang's defeat, Yuan Shu was greatly disturbed.

Jin Shang came to see Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was furious, and said: "The defeated army has the face to come back to see me, drag it out, and behead it!"

"General, please forgive me!" Jin Shang begged for mercy, "I just fell into Cao Cao's scheme. I hope the general will find out."

Master Yan Xiang snorted coldly and said: "My lord, Jin Shang is arrogant and willful, causing our army to lose soldiers and generals. We will never forgive him!"

Yuan Shu nodded, and said, "Yan Zhubo is right, drag him out, and cut him off!"

Two sergeants came to Jin Shang's side, couldn't help but split up and dragged them out. After a while, a human head was held up.

Poor Jin Shang escaped from Cao Cao's pursuit, but was beheaded by Yuan Shu again.

Yuan Shu waved his hand, motioning the soldiers to take the head off, and asked with a sad face, "Now that Cao Cao has entered Xi'e City, who can resist?"

After a while, there was still no one answering, Yuan Shu slapped a few cases and said angrily: "Is there no one who can share his worries with this general?"

Yan Xiang sighed softly, stepped forward and said, "Master, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"Master Yan, just tell me." Yuan Shu said hastily.

Yan Xiang bowed and saluted, and said: "Now our army has been defeated, not only lost [-] elite soldiers, but also lost two generals, and the morale is low. If we fight Cao Cao again at this time, we will definitely lose."

Yuan Shu frowned, and said displeasedly, "Do you want me to ask Cao Cao to surrender?"

"No." Yan Xiang said, "My lord, please listen to me and finish speaking."

Yuan Shu held back his patience and said, "Say."

Yan Xiang continued: "Now that Cao Cao has led the army, Liu Biao from Jingzhou in the south has a lot of criticism because his lord occupies Nanyang. If we join forces with Cao Cao, we will stand together."

"At this time, I know that how to retreat Cao Bing is the top priority!" Yuan Shu became a little impatient.

Yan Xiang sighed again, and said: "Now our army has lost the opportunity, I am afraid it will be difficult to retreat Cao Cao, so we can only avoid the front for the time being and abandon Nanyang."

"What? Abandon Nanyang!" Yuan Shu was shocked, as if he hadn't thought of this.

Yan Xiang nodded and said, "Yes, only by giving up Nanyang can we preserve our strength."

Yuan Shu suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "If Nanyang is abandoned, where will I go?"

"Yangzhou, Shouchun!" Yan Xiang said, "The land of Huaiyang is full of wealth and people. You can station troops. When the vitality recovers, you can attack Cao Cao in the north and defeat Liu Biao in the south. This is the best strategy."

After hearing Yan Xiang's words, Yuan Shu couldn't help thinking in his heart, and after a while, he asked, "Do the rest have other clever ideas?"

Still no one answered, Yuan Shu said a little dejectedly: "If you have no objection, then do as Lord Yan said."

Yan Xiang said again: "If you want to leave this place, after Cao Cao knows, he will definitely send someone to chase after him. My lord can set up an ambush, and Cao's soldiers will definitely be defeated."

After hearing this, Yuan Shu regained some balance, nodded and said, "Master Yan's words are quite to my liking, where are Ji Ling and Zhang Xun?"

"The end is here!"

After hearing the order, Ji Ling and Zhang Xun stepped out of the squadron and waited for Yuan Shu to give orders.

Yuan Shu looked at the two of them and said, "Two generals, each with [-] soldiers, ambushed at the retreating place to ambush Cao Cao's pursuers!"

"Order!"

The two led the way, and the electric men and horses made preparations.

"Notify General Yang Feng, escort the emperor, and move to Shouchun!" Yuan Shu then ordered.

Afterwards, Yuan Shu packed up the food, grass and money in Nanyang City, and in desperation, was forced by Cao to rush to Shouchun.

At this time, Cao Cao was resting in Xi'e City, and the scouts in the army informed Cao Cao of Yuan Shu's abandonment of Nanyang.

Cao Cao immediately raised civil and military affairs to discuss the matter.

"My lord, Yuan Shu must not be allowed to escape. I am willing to lead [-] light cavalry to pursue them." Xiahou Dun said.

When Mao Jie heard this, he said, "No, Yuan Shu is defeated, and he must stay in ambush to wait for me. My lord, don't move lightly."

Cheng Yu also nodded and said: "Xiaoxian's words are very good. Now that I have driven Yuan Shu out of Nanyang, I can explain to Zhao Qian."

Cao Cao thought for a while, but shook his head and said, "Since Yuan Shu has been defeated, why not take the opportunity to take his life? I am not doing this for Zhao Qian."

Mao Jie wanted to persuade him again, but Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about filial piety first, I will pursue Yuan Shu to show righteousness to the world."

"I would like to be a pioneer!" Xiahou Dun said again.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Okay, Yuan Rang and I will lead an army of [-] to pursue Yuan Shu, and Miaocai and Zixiao will lead an army of [-] to meet him."

Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren also clasped their fists to accept the order.

Cao Cao laughed, and said, "Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, we head towards the mountains! The others led the army into Nanyang. Zhong De and Xiao first set up a list to calm the people and not disturb the people; Yuan Rang, come and kill Yuan Shu with me!"

The people took orders, and took over Nanyang City according to their respective roles.

Besides, Ji Ling and Zhang Xun each led [-] soldiers and ambushed on the road. Zhang Xun said to Ji Ling: "General Ji, our two ambushes should be staggered back and forth. If there are pursuers, General Ji will let them go. After I send troops to fight, General Ji will attack the rear army, and he will be able to break it!"

After hearing this, Ji Ling couldn't help being overjoyed, and said, "General Zhang is indeed capable of both civil and military skills, so let's do this!"

So, the two divided their troops to ambush, and waited quietly for Cao Cao's pursuers to come.
