So Tadun Shanyu finally decided that the Wuhuan people would no longer intervene in the brotherly disputes between Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang and others.
But now that Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang have ceased to exist, Yuan Xi is facing another disaster.
Tadun Shanyu, who had always been good friends with the Yuan family, could not sit still, so he sent troops to help.
The Wuhuan people, like the Huns, are nomadic grassland peoples.
Therefore, both men and women in the clan are very good at riding and shooting. There is a record in the history books that "Wuhuan from the three counties is a famous horseman in the world".
There are 20,000 Wuhuan cavalry to help, plus the 20,000 soldiers and horses left in his hands.
Yuan Xi suddenly had the idea of meeting Cao Pi!
Seeing Yuan Xi's excited expression, Sui Yuanjin on the side quickly persuaded him,
"My lord, although there are Wuhuan people to help, Cao's army still has the upper hand. We can't be careless."
Yuan Xi thought for a moment and nodded.
"That's good, do you have any good ideas?"
Sui Yuanjin chuckled and whispered,
"Cao's army has won consecutive battles. I'm afraid he has grown proud, otherwise he wouldn't have come to attack the lord."
"In that case, why don't we just follow the plan?"
He slowly told Yuan Xi his plan.
After hearing this, Yuan Xi's eyes lit up, he put his palms in his hands and laughed,
"Captain Sui's plan is very clever. He will definitely make sure that little Cao Pi never comes back!"
…
It is more than 200 miles from Zhuoxian County to Jixian County, and there are two cities in Liangxiang and Guangyang.
Cao Pi led his army to bypass Zhuo County, and finally decided on the ambush location between Liangxiang and Guangyang counties.
The road here is not very wide, and there are dense jungles on both sides.
In order not to attract attention, Cao Jun chose to camp among lush trees.
In the tent.
Looking at the sand table on the case, Cao Pi frowned and asked Sima Yi beside him,
"Zhongda, what day is this?"
"Replying to your Majesty, today is already the third day."
Sima Yi replied.
"Why is there no movement from Yuan Jun? Could it be that they already know that we are ambushing here?"
Cao Pi asked suspiciously.
It was already the third day since they set up camp here.
If they had followed the original plan, they would have fought Yuan Xi long ago.
But now not only was there no sign of Yuan Jun, but there was no movement at all. No wonder Cao Pi was surprised.
"If Yuan Jun knew about it, he would definitely respond."
Sima Yi replied,
"But there is no movement from them right now, which means they don't know the movements of our army."
"Please be patient, Your Majesty. It won't be too late to wait for a day or two."
After hearing what he said, Cao Pi had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart.
While the two were discussing, there was a sound of rapid footsteps.
But it was Cao Zhen who opened the camp curtain and walked in, excitedly saying,
"Your Majesty, Army Sima, we have just received news that Yuan Xi has ordered 20,000 troops to leave the city. The posture seems to be to support Zhuoxian County!"
"Haha, great! This bastard really took action after all!"
Cao Pi was refreshed and immediately ordered,
"Zi Dan, go and call everyone else over!"
"yes!"
Cao Zhen left quickly.
After a while, Zhang Liao, Yu Jin, Zhang He, Cao Xiu and others came to Cao Pi's camp one after another.
"Meet the Crown Prince!"
"Okay, no need to be polite!"
Cao Pi waved his hand and laughed and said,
"I just received the news that Yuan Xi's army has set off. You should prepare immediately."
"Once the enemy is surrounded, launch an attack!"
Everyone takes orders together!
Following Cao Pi's order, tens of thousands of Cao's troops were ambushing in the dense forests on both sides of the official road, quietly waiting for the arrival of Yuan's troops.
Not long after, dust was flying in the distance, and it seemed that a large number of people were coming here.
Cao Pi was delighted, it must be Yuan Jun!
Sure enough, a mighty army appeared in front of Cao Pi and others.
And look at the banner they were flying, it was Yuan Xi's people!
Seeing Yuan Xi's army about to enter the encirclement, Cao Pi held his breath and was about to give the order to send out the signal, but something suddenly happened!
"Whoosh!"
A sharp arrow flew out of nowhere, and a soldier from Sergeant Yuan fell to the ground!
"Ambush! There is an ambush!"
The officers and soldiers of Yuan's army were in an uproar and started shouting immediately.
Zhang Liao, Cao Zhen and others who were ambushing on both sides looked confused.
What's going on?
Yuan Jun hadn't stepped into the ambush yet, so why did he take action?
As the commander-in-chief of an army, Cao Pi was almost so angry that he vomited blood.
What bastard did this?
After the war, we must engage in military law!
Cao Pi cursed secretly in his heart and hurriedly said to Sima Yi beside him,
"Send signal!"
"Here!"
Sima Yi took the order.
Accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, a loud arrow flew straight into the sky!
Seeing the signal representing the attack, Zhang Liao and others no longer hesitated and immediately ordered the attack!
Countless soldiers of Cao Cao's soldiers rushed out from the dense forest and rushed towards the soldiers of Yuan's army like a tide!
However, Yuan's soldiers, who had been on guard for a long time, had no intention of entangled with Cao's army. After leaving behind hundreds of corpses, they hurriedly retreated in the direction they came from!
By the time Cao Pi arrived in person, Yuan Jun had already fled!
"Which bastard shot the arrow without my order?"
Cao Pi roared.
But everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one responded.
When Cao Pi saw this, he was so angry that the blood vessels in his forehead jumped.
But now is not the time to investigate the culprits. Yuan Jun has just escaped. It is more important to pursue them!
Thinking of this, Cao Pi said to Cao Chun and Zhang Liao,
"You two will immediately lead the cavalry to pursue Yuan Jun!"
Cao Chun is a clan general and loyal to the Cao family.
He had no objection to Cao Pi's order and just nodded in agreement.
But Zhang Liao on the side looked a little hesitant.
"Your Majesty, in the ambush just now, Yuan's army did not suffer much loss. Moreover, when they retreated, they retreated without defeat. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to pursue them rashly!"
Cao Pi's face instantly darkened, and he glared at Zhang Liaodao,
"Are you questioning me?"
"The general will not dare!"
Zhang Liao quickly handed over his hand.
"When you were in Hefei, with only five hundred men, you dared to rush out of the city and hunt down Sun Quan!"
"But today our army has the superior strength, and you don't dare to pursue us."
"Could it be that in your heart, you think I'm not as good as Yang Ling?"
Cao Pi asked sharply.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liao suddenly complained secretly in his heart.
He had heard Yang Ling mention it before, saying that Cao Pi was narrow-minded, but he never expected that he could be so narrow-minded!
If he continues to dissuade him, I'm afraid Cao Pi will use military law to deal with him.
Thinking of this, Zhang Liao had no choice but to say,
"Your Majesty, calm down! I didn't mean that. Since your Majesty wants to pursue Yuan Jun, I will take the order!"
"That's pretty much it!"
Cao Pi snorted coldly,
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and set off!"
Everyone just woke up from a dream and hurriedly took action.
