After hearing Yuan Shang's words, Guo Jia couldn't help but laugh. He shook his head and said with sarcastic and emotional expression: "Mr. Yuan is really considerate to Guo. According to your identity, there are almost only a handful of people who can be on par with you today. Just because of your current identity, you are willing to come to Xuzhou for your sake, just for this face. If Guo doesn't treat you well here, I'm afraid he will really let you down the beauty of your coming here!"

After hearing Guo Jia's sarcastic remarks, Yuan Shang was not angry. He just sighed and shook his head and said, "Guo Jia, surrender, the Cao family is over. The era of heroic separatism has passed. The unification of the north is already the general trend. With you alone, what can you do if you want to go against the will of heaven?"

When Guo Jia heard this, he shook his head and smiled, "Is that right? I'm afraid it may not be? Back then, your father Yuan Shao raised a shocking army to cross the river to attack Xuchang. Everyone in the world thought that it would win, but in the end he was defeated in the land of Guandu? To this day, don't you understand that the soldiers are indefinitely powerful and the water is indefinitely in shape. There is nothing in this world that is absolutely true. Guo believes... man will conquer the heaven!"

When Yuan Shang heard this, he frowned and said, "So, are you really planning to fight to the end with me?"

Guo Jia put away his laughing face and replied word by word: "If I don't stand it to the end, there is no need for Guo to come here today!"

Yuan Shang nodded and said, "Very good. Since that's the case, then we have nothing to say... You should take care of yourself."

Guo Jia bowed at Yuan Shang casually and said, "You are the same!"

Then, they saw the two of them driving back to their respective camps.

As soon as Fang returned to the camp of several rooms, Yuan Shang said to Zhang He who was specially transferred here: "General Junyi, I will give you my full authority to this battle."

Zhang He's face turned right and said loudly: "Don't worry, lord, this battle is covered by the last general!"

After saying that, Zhang He turned around and said to the commander general beside him: "The commander is the entire army, prepare to face the enemy!"

In the howling wind, Yuan Jun's drumbeat began to sound like "dongdongdongdongdongdongdong", and the whole army began to change its formation, with the slogans and steps deafening, and each thrust shocked the world, as if the earth was roaring under Yuan Jun's horse's hooves.

Zhang He raised his spear in his hand and said to the flag commander: "Issuing an order, and the Wuji Cavalry Camp should be the first to attack!"

With the issuance of the flag order, amid the rumbling drums, Yuan's cavalry, led by the most elite Wuji Cavalry Camp, lined up in a long formation and urged the horses, like a torrent of steel that could crush all things, and rushed towards Cao's army without moving forward.

On the Cao army, Zhang Liao was responsible for commanding the troops. Seeing that Yuan army's most proud cavalry launched an attack, Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes slightly, and a lightning-like flash popped out of it, saying, "The crossbowman comes forward. Prepare to shoot arrows!"

Under Zhang Liao's command, Cao's crossbowmen crossed over the shield soldiers and came to the front of the formation, bent their bows and arrows, pointing them to the sky!

Seeing Yuan's cavalry getting closer and closer, the deafening sound of horse hooves could almost shatter the eardrums, Zhang Liao silently calculated the footprints of Yuan's cavalry, and then suddenly shouted loudly and roared to the sky.

"Shoot the arrow!"

With a roar, the hands of the flag bearers indirectly waved, and the bows and crossbows that were ready to go were like locusts in the sky. They shot at the Yuan army's cavalry overwhelmingly, like a sudden storm, greeting the Yuan army's vanguard cavalry.

After a wave of arrows, Yuan Jun's vanguard suddenly fell down a large area. The people in the field were overturned, and the roars shook the world.

However, these losses were obviously in Zhang He's calculations. Today, when the tiger and leopard cavalry disappeared, Yuan's cavalry quality is now the best in the world. Most of the cavalry did not stop because of the rain of arrows. Instead, their speed became faster and faster. Each cavalry was like a sharp sword, covering the sky and the sun, rushing through the rain of arrows, and plunging into Cao's camp like lightning, and even the second wave of arrow shooting was not reserved for Cao's army.

Of course, the Cao army's defensive camp could not rely solely on crossbows. Countless iron shields and spears were ready to go, and a bloody red color suddenly appeared in the field. Whether it was Yuan Cao's soldiers, their blood began to spread on this crisp land as the two soldiers and horses faced each other.

With the sound of swords entering the body, blood sputtered on this grassland, tempering the grassland into a huge slaughterhouse, as if it was a purgatory on earth.

The small amount of cavalry sacrifice made the Cao army's crossbowmen who had no absolute effect on the charge of Yuan's army. At this time, Zhang He began to order the infantry and the spearmen to charge forward.

"The infantry of the three armies entered the formation in a cone shape, and the two wings of the goose shape attacked the enemy's midfield! Charge!"

"The shield soldiers cover the crossbowmen and attack and kill on both sides in a scattered manner. Within less than a hundred steps, no arrows are allowed to be shot and killed!"

With the issuance of military orders, under the command of Zhang He, the various military academies of the Yuan army began to launch a continuous and effective attack on the Cao army, and with absolute strong combat power, they began to crush and massacre the Cao army.

On the Cao army, although Zhang Liao's ability to command troops and horses to fight was not inferior to Zhang He, the gap in combat power could not be made up for by him personally. The gap between short-term troops was not obvious. However, as the situation widened, the military academies of the two sides devoted themselves to each other, the gap between Yuan and Cao began to appear little by little

It was revealed.

The more Cao's army fought, the more obvious the decline, and the more Yuan's army fought, the more clear the advantages it became.

"Run! The commander of Cao Jun ran away!"

I don’t know who shouted next to Yuan Shang, attracting Yuan Shang’s attention to the enemy’s central army.

Yuan Shang narrowed his eyes and saw the big flag with the word "Guo" printed on it began to retreat. In a faint sense, Yuan Shang saw that the chariot Guo Jia was riding also began to move towards the back.

When the commander moved, the three armies naturally collapsed. In the central army of Cao's army, the entire formation was completely messy due to Guo Jia's retreat. Cao's army no longer fought with Yuan's army. As Guo Jia fled to the rear, all the carefully arranged formations collapsed, and all the soldiers collapsed like a tide.

It was suddenly withdrawn.

Seeing this, Yuan Shang couldn't help but frown: "Have you run away?"

Just as he was thinking, Lu Lingqi stepped forward and came to Yuan Shang's side. He patted his shoulder heavily and said, "What a god? The commander of the Cao army fled, the enemy formation was disintegrating. If you don't take the opportunity to attack, then when will you wait? Judging from this situation, it is still unknown even if you capture Pengcheng in one fell swoop!"

"The problem is..." Yuan Shang frowned and said, "Although Cao's army is in a downturn, it has not yet reached the point of complete defeat. Why did Guo Jia suddenly run away? He didn't know that the commander was the courage of the three armies. He should not retreat until the last moment?"

Lu Lingqi shook his head angrily and said, "You think too much! No matter how resourceful Guo Jia is, he is also a literati. He is good at making suggestions and being the leader. He is still a little tender, but he is afraid he is not as good as you..."

Yuan Shang looked at Lu Lingqi with dissatisfaction: "Do you say that about your husband?"

"Oh, in short, we will march quickly. If we don't march, we will miss all the opportunities. You and Zhang He are here to control the troops! I will go to the front line to command the troops, attack with all my might, take advantage of the situation to pursue, kill Zhang Liao, and capture Pengcheng!"

After saying that, regardless of Yuan Shang's order, Lu Lingqi led his personal army and rushed towards Cao's army like a tiger coming out of the cage.

Seeing that his own offensive became more and more intense, and the enemy retreated into the retreating tide, like a flood, Yuan Shang felt deeply confused.

Isn’t this guy Guo Jia having any ideas again?

***************************

It is true that as Lu Lingqi expected, Yuan's army and Cao's army had a big battle outside Pengcheng. Guo Jia, as the chief general, did not take the responsibility of suppressing the formation and retreated without taking the responsibility of suppressing the formation. Yuan's army took advantage of the situation and attacked and killed, and it was as if it had been defeated. It was not counted. It also captured Pengcheng, the capital of Xuzhou in one fell swoop. Cao's army was defeated thousands of miles away. Facing Yuan's army's pursuit, he had no power to fight back. He retreated straight to Xiapi City. Poor Guo Jia came to Xuzhou with great courage and suffered such a great defeat in the first battle facing Yuan Shang head-on. He gave up the Xuzhou capital at once, which shocked everyone in the world. Yuan Shang's reputation was even more icing on the cake, rising like a sunny day.

The battle situation in Xuzhou spread to Yangzhou at the first time.

At the mouth of the Duhe River on the border of Xuyang, Sun Quan had already gathered troops and waited for the battle, and sent people to constantly inquire about the situation in Xuzhou. The news of the Battle of Pengcheng was immediately transmitted to his commander camp.

After Sun Quan found out, he didn't say anything and immediately asked his confidant Zhou Yu to discuss it.

"Gongjin, in your opinion, Guo Jia was defeated in Xuzhou and Yuan Shang seized his capital Pengcheng. What do you think?"

Zhou Yu closed his eyes and thought carefully for a while before he slowly spoke: "Wu Hou, although I had expected Yuan Shang to win and Guo Jia would lose, I really didn't expect Guo Jia to lose so quickly! Yuan Shang seized the Xuzhou capital and was opposite Guo Jia in the east and west of Xia Pi. At this time, it is indeed time for us to send troops."

Sun Quan nodded after hearing this and said, "I have the same intention. Gongjin and the two heroes in the north are enough to change the fortunes of the world. For me, Dongwu, if we do not take the opportunity to get some benefits, it will be detrimental to the future war! I want to send troops to Xuzhou quickly. Before Yuan Shang completely defeated Guo Jia, we will take down Guangling, Danyang and other places as pedals in the Central Plains. It will also be beneficial to the future. What do you think?"

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, "Wu Hou, the same thing. In fact, I don't agree with the march north."

“…………”

Sun Quan frowned when he heard this.
