In the Chinese army's tent in Gongsun Kang Dazhai.

It's already so dark that it can't get any darker. Maybe today is the darkest day since the beginning of winter.

Yuan Tan returned to the big tent and took a nap on his original seat with his clothes on. He was suddenly awakened by the sound of horse hooves coming from outside the tent. There was a chaotic sound outside the tent.

Yuan Tan, who seemed to be awake, guessed that General Gongsun Kang had returned, so he stood up, straightened his clothes and walked out!

Yuan Tan just walked out of the military tent, preparing to welcome the victorious general today.

Before Yuan Tan could step out of the military tent, he was already illuminated by the torches of thousands of military cavalry outside the tent.

However, Yuan Tan, who had just walked out of the tent, was stunned.

What he saw was not the mink coats of Liaodong, but the Chu army in red armor.

Chen Dao, surrounded by numerous Chu army cavalry, galloped towards him and reined up his horse in front of him. The sword in his hand gave off a cold light under the firelight.

Yuan Tan was stunned. He didn't know what happened now. He stared at Chen Dao with countless eyes blankly.

Chen Dao also looked at him immediately.

Yuan Tan asked in surprise: "Who are you?"

Thousands of cavalrymen only held weapons tightly in their hands. All the cavalrymen looked coldly, and no one answered him alone.

Chen Dao reined in the horse that was spinning back and forth and asked sharply: "Who are you?"

Yuan Tan replied: "Of course it is the coalition of princes."

Chen Dao pointed his riding whip at Yuan Tan and said, "Looking at his attire, he must be one of the eighteen princes, or at least a general. Let me escort him and all the old women, young women, and nobles of those princes."

Let’s get together and send back the follow-up troops. Don’t let these people become a drag on us. If we can’t deliver them for the time being, just shoot them!”

Chen Dao mobilized the horses and issued an order to the entire army: "The entire army continues northward! Directly to Xuchang City!"

Chen Dao rode away, followed by a group of horsemen roaring, and behind him came the screams of countless people. Among the screams were the heartbreaking screams of women, and the unwillingness of a strong warrior to lose.

After Chen Dao's army roared away, the few hundred cavalry who stayed behind began to clear the battlefield.

Yuan Tan stood there blankly, looking helpless at this time. Although he had extraordinary martial arts, his sword had been removed by others, and the general's bodyguards had also been handed over to Gongsun Kang.

Now he can only sit there and wait for others to slaughter him.

Two Chu army cavalry came over and shouted: "Turn around! Throw down the quiver on your body! Put your hands behind your back!"

Yuan Tan did as he was told, but he still seemed unable to understand why he was made a prisoner.

Later, Yuan Tan, who had his hands tied, was dragged away by the two cavalrymen. On the night when Yuan Tan was captured, all the troops attacked Chen Dao's entire army in order to quickly catch up.

At this time, two cavalrymen finally chose to shoot Yuan Tan. Yuan Shao's eldest son, who had placed high hopes on him, died in the hands of two soldiers who did not leave any names in history.

When Chen Dao's army was leaving this camp, a fire burned the place to scorched earth.

On the ruins of Gongsun Kang's camp.

The Dazhai that had been burned by the fire was already extremely dark. Countless charred corpses gave off the smell, and the remaining smoke curled up from the remaining ruins.

Gongsun Kang led his cavalry regiment to gallop over quickly. Seeing these tragic scenes, Gongsun Kang's face turned pale. He rode on horseback and patrolled the village because he wanted to find Yuan Tan's body or injured body.

, because Dazhai has been turned into scorched earth, there is no undulating land, no one can stand up, because there is not a healthy person on the battlefield.

At this time, a wounded soldier was helped out from nowhere and limped over. When he saw Gongsun Kang, he shouted: "General, general!"

After Gongsun Kang heard this voice, he couldn't bear to look at him and asked eagerly: "What happened?"

The wounded soldier used all his strength to answer: "The Chu army bypassed the general's blockade, came from the winding stream in front, and attacked the camp directly. General Yuan Tan also had the military counselor who stayed behind, and the military commander...

…”

Gongsun Kang closed his eyes, and there seemed to be tears, as if they were about to flow out in an instant, and sighed: "I asked how my army was attacked from the front and back. The Chu army actually used small groups of cavalry to stay away from the main army and attack intermittently..."

The sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance, and there were tens of thousands of cavalry troops. Gongsun Kang clenched the weapons in his hands, ready to fight at any time.

When Gongsun Kang looked up, he saw Huchuquan Shanyu galloping towards him, surrounded by mounted guards.

Shanyu Huchuquan shouted loudly on his horse: "The general now knows that it is not because the general is incompetent. This Chu army does not fight according to rules at all. I set up a military formation at the foot of the mountain and waited for him to fight, but he avoided the military formation and went straight to the battle.

Attacking Changshe County, when I arrived, another small group of his cavalry secretly rushed into my camp, but it was chaos, and I could no longer block his main cavalry that arrived later..."

Gongsun Kang hurriedly asked: "Who is the commander of the Chu army? Is it Lu Bu?"

Huchuquan Shanyu replied: "I heard that he is a general who has just been conferred by the King of Chu. His name is Chen Dao, a general who is just in his early twenties!"

When Gongsun Kang heard about this age and this general, he sighed unwillingly: "I am so defeated, I really don't know how the general will pursue him!"

The Chu Army's new military camp fifty miles outside Xuchang City.

Chen Dao rode up on horseback surrounded by the fierce elite cavalry of the Chu army.

General Ma Chao is waiting outside the gate of Xinzhai.

Ma Chao said with joy on his face: "We sincerely welcome General Chen Dao on his triumphant return to the north. The King of Chu will be here to give you orders!"

After Chen Dao heard what Ma Chao said, he immediately jumped off his horse and walked side by side into the stronghold with Gongsun Ao.

Chen Dao asked as he walked: "What did King Chu say?"

Seeing Chen Dao's impatience, Gongsun Ao hurriedly replied: "The King of Chu has prepared another 50,000 fine cavalry for the general, asking the general to take advantage of the current chaotic state of the defenders around Xuchang City to unexpectedly return troops to attack Xuchang again.

With another heavy blow on the back of the already shaky coalition of princes, the general will lead his troops from the west to attack Yuan Shao's Qingzhou..."

Chen Dao suddenly stopped and replied excitedly: "Oh my god, I was just thinking about it, but the King of Chu has already prepared it for me... The one who knows me is the King of Chu!"

Chen Dao once again led 50,000 cavalry and the remaining 5,000 troops of his more than 10,000 elite troops to gather together and attack again.

In the side hall of the Chu Palace in Luoyang City.

Nie Zefeng has been in the war room for seven days. In these seven days, he has never left this hall. And in these seven days, the outside world has of course undergone earth-shaking changes, and the situation on both sides has undergone insurmountable changes.

changes.

In the main hall at this time, there was not only Nie Zefeng alone, but also generals and advisers.

In front of the huge map, Nie Zefeng confidently said to the generals and ministers: "After being humiliated by General Chen Dao, the coalition of princes around Xuchang must have thought that their Xuchang defense would have a short period of peace. We

Just to encourage his idea, thanks to the ban, he was able to lead an army of 50,000 to block Yuan's army of 200,000 from attacking.

Ma Chao and Gao Shun immediately led their troops to attack Qingzhou and seek battle with Yuan's army under Qingzhou. At the same time, General Chen Dao returned to the Xuchang area without stopping for a moment, using the same tactics and the same speed to implement another major detour.

With——...Zhang Xiu, you should immediately lead your Xiliang cavalry regiment across the Taihang Mountains and meet General Chen Dao at Guandu."

It was unexpectedly quiet in the lobby of the side hall.

After Nie Zefeng finished speaking, he looked at Lu Bu and asked, "What do you think, General Lu Bu?"

After hearing Nie Zefeng asking for his opinion, Lu Bu nodded slightly and replied: "The king's thinking is extraordinary. We Han people have a proverb: No one will fall in the same river twice!"

Nie Zefeng smiled and replied proudly: "I want to repeat my old trick and make the coalition of princes stumble on the same stone twice in a row!"

Since Nie Zefeng began to intentionally distance himself from Lu Bu, Lu Bu began to reply a little cautiously: "I hope General Chen Dao can live up to the heavy responsibility of the king!"

Nie Zefeng seemed to have heard some words and said with a smile: "The greatest advantage of General Chen Dao is that he was born into wealth and has never been restricted or afraid of any authority!"

Before Chen Dao launched his attack, Ma Chao and Gao Shun had already led the cavalry in the first place and the infantry in the rear and entered the Qingzhou area.

In order to act as a diversion, the two armies of Ma Chao and Gao Shun launched an attack regardless of the cost.

Ma Chao and Gao Shun's troops are charging forward.

This is already their fifth charge.

Ma Chao and Gao Shun, who had just gone through the battle, met at night and returned to their base camp.

Ma Chao said excitedly: "General Gao Shun, if we start at this speed, we will be able to attack Linzi in a few days."

Gao Shun said with some disdain: "If my army were not all infantry, I think the credit for attacking the Central Plains must be mine."

Ma Chao advised: "The Central Plains region has a large coalition of princes, and cavalry is needed to quickly defeat these scattered coalitions of princes."

Gao Shun replied disdainfully: "After the coalition of princes and the eighteen princes were defeated by us, it was our army that took the initiative to retreat from the Xuchang area. Among the eighteen princes, twelve princes have already gone back, and the remaining six princes are all remnants.

Defeated general, I think we can defeat the entire Central Plains region in one battle."

Seeing Gao Shun being so stubborn, Ma Chao didn't know what to say.

The two men returned to their military camp.

At this time, a bright red sunset shone on the Western Mountain, and large white clouds floated in the azure blue sky. They showed a flame-like red under the radiance of the setting sun, and the blood was like the setting sun. The blood like the setting sun,
