After being hit by the three-eyed gun, Zhao Yun had already rushed forward before the Wuhuan people could recover from their confusion.

I saw a bit of cold light arriving first, and then the gun came out like a dragon!

Zhao Yun, with one man and one horse, charged and killed the Wuhuan people wantonly. Wherever he went, there was no enemy at all.

Zhao Rui, who was watching the battle from behind, suddenly couldn't sit still when he saw this situation.

"Quick, go support the Wuhuan people!"

he yelled.

But his voice was heard by Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun glanced at it and immediately judged that Zhao Rui was the general of Yuan Jun.

Without any hesitation, he drove the red rabbit horse and rushed towards Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui was immediately startled, and ordered the left and right to stop Zhao Yun while retreating back.

However, his personal guards were no match for Zhao Yun.

A few shots and he was dead!

Zhao Yun pulled the reins, and the red rabbit horse, which was extremely humane, flew with all four hooves, blocking Zhao Rui's path.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, Zhao Rui gritted his teeth, swung his spear, and stabbed him hard.

"You have a small skill, but you still dare to do the same thing?"

Zhao Yun smiled disdainfully, flicked his spear casually, and knocked Zhao Rui's weapon away!

Before Zhao Rui could react, the gentian bright silver spear pierced his throat like a bolt of lightning.

"Creak..."

Zhao Rui wanted to say something, but he died on the spot!

"Your general is dead, why don't you surrender quickly!"

Zhao Yun lifted Zhao Rui high and shouted sternly.

Seeing Zhao Rui's body, all the Yuan soldiers were shocked. They immediately lost their fighting spirit and were killed and returned in defeat!

Considering that his own troops were few and Zhang Liao and others were exhausted, Zhao Yun did not pursue them far before turning back.

He led Zhang Liao, Cao Zhen and others back, and met Cao Pi halfway, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Thank God, General Wenyuan, Zidan, you are all fine!"

Only then did a big stone fall from Cao Pi's heart!

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Liao, Yu Jin, Cao Zhen and others together accounted for one-third of Cao Cao's generals.

If he was really captured or killed by Yuan Xi, it would be strange if his father didn't skin him after returning to Xudu!

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's leave quickly!"

Zhao Yundao.

"What General Zilong said is absolutely true, let's retreat quickly!"

Cao Pi nodded heavily.

Everyone immediately set off on their way back.

However, after traveling only a few miles, Cao Pi suddenly felt something was wrong.

"General Zilong, we are not going back to Fan Yang."

"Reporting to the crown prince, the military advisor has captured Zhuo County a few days ago and is waiting for us there now."

Zhao Yun explained with a smile.

Cao Pi was shocked!

Although Youzhou's military strength is empty, Zhuoxian County, as a county seat, is also a large city.

In just a few days, Yang Ling was defeated again?

Cao Pi glanced at Sima Yi subconsciously, and both of them were a little doubtful.

But Zhao Yun was loyal and trustworthy and never joked with others.

They had no choice but to suppress their doubts and follow Zhao Yun to Zhuoxian County.

After half a day's march, Cao Pi and his party finally arrived outside Zhuoxian City.

Sure enough, as Zhao Yun said, what was flying on the top of the city was the banner with the word "Cao".

Zhao Yun sent someone to notify Yang Ling in advance. When Cao Pi and others arrived, Yang Ling was already waiting at the city gate.

"Seeing that the prince has returned safely, my subordinates feel relieved!"

Yang Ling said hypocritically, but he couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart, why was Yuan Jun so incompetent that he didn't let you bastard die in the rebellion.

"Thanks to the military advisor who sent troops to help, otherwise I and all the soldiers would have died there. I will definitely remember the great kindness of the military advisor!"

Cao Pi also pretended to be grateful.

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. This is what a subordinate should do."

Yang Ling pretended to be authentic.

Originally, he did not plan to send anyone to support Cao Pi.

But then he thought about it, although Cao Pi was a bit hateful, Zhang Liao, Zhang He and others were innocent.

So after careful consideration, he finally sent Zhao Yun to support.

Fortunately, Zhao Yun arrived in time, otherwise Cao Pi would have included Zhang Liao and other famous generals because of Cao Pi's great success!

"Speaking of which, the military advisor has already saved me twice! The military advisor's life-saving grace will be rewarded generously by the general in the future!"

Cao Zhen said with a grateful expression.

"General Zidan said something serious!"

Yang Ling smiled and waved.

"Speaking of which, how did the military strategist capture Zhuoxian County?"

Zhang Liao said in surprise while accepting the bandaging from the army doctor.

Everyone was also extremely curious.

You must know that Cao Pi had 80,000 troops in his hands, and he paid a heavy price when he captured Beixin City and Fan Yang.

"It's quite simple."

Yang Ling smiled and slowly told the whole story.

Ding Wei was originally an official under the prefect of Zhuo County, but he only later became the magistrate of Guqiu County.

Therefore, he had a deep friendship with many officials in Zhuo County.

Yang Ling collected Han Yan's body and asked Gao Rou and Ding Wei to take it to Zhuo County and return it to Han Yan's family.

Originally, everyone in Zhuo County planned to fight to the death, but after seeing Yang Ling return Han Yan's body, Gao Rou and Ding Wei were there to persuade him.

In the end, they gave up their doubts and chose to surrender in Kaicheng.

Yang Ling also followed the previous agreement and did not embarrass everyone in the city.

Zhuo County naturally fell into the control of Cao Jun.

After hearing the whole story, Zhang Liao couldn't help but sigh,

"There is a saying in the art of war, so the first is to attack the enemy with the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, and then the third is to attack the city."

"The military advisor is really smart. He captured Zhuoxian County without spending a single soldier."

The rest of the people also nodded in agreement.

Only Cao Pi and Sima Yi on the side looked quite ugly.

Although his own failure was terrible, Yang Ling's success was even more painful than killing himself!

Compared with Yang Ling's achievements, they undoubtedly look too shameful!



Due to Cao Pi's insistence, Cao's army was defeated.

After the war, an inventory was conducted and it was found that the 80,000 troops that Cao Pi and Yang Ling had when they separated were now only less than 40,000.

The rest were either killed in battle or captured.

In addition, a large amount of baggage, food and grass were discarded.

After this battle, although Cao's army occupied the entire Zhuoxian County and still had nearly 60,000 troops, their vitality was severely damaged. They were unable to launch another war for a while and could only temporarily stop in Zhuoxian County to rest.

Cao Pi could clearly feel how much the lieutenants in the army complained about him and their attitude was quite contemptuous. On the contrary, when facing Yang Ling, he became more respectful and admired!

That's okay.

What made him feel most angry was the letter sent by his father Cao Cao.

In the letter, Cao Cao scolded Cao Pi and sternly warned him that he was not allowed to act without authorization in the future, and all actions must be approved by Yang Ling!

As a result, although Cao Pi was still the nominal general, the military power fell into Yang Ling's hands!

How does this not make him angry?

But he was angry, and Cao Pi was helpless.

Who makes him dissatisfied?
