After Guan Yu defeated Yuan's army in a battle, Yuan Tan retreated. He had no choice but to retreat. In this battle, only a few hundred cavalrymen brought out by Xianyu's brothers finally returned to the camp.

Yuan Tan could not compete with Guan Yu alone, so he had to retreat. However, Guan Yu did not intend to let Yuan Tan go like this. He knew that his plan could finally be implemented!

So Guan Yu wrote a letter to Liu Bei, and then left Gao Lan to continue guarding Bohai City. He took Pang De, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao to pursue Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan retreated very quickly, but the infantry could not escape the horse. One day later, Pei Yuanshao, the vanguard of Guan Yu's sect, caught up with Yuan Tan's rear army. Pei Yuanshao was overjoyed and thought that he could make a great contribution this time! So he led two thousand cavalry without hesitation to attack Yuan Tan's rear army.

A surprise attack caused heavy losses to Yuan Tan's rear army. At this time, Yuan Tan also knew that Guan Yu was chasing him! In a hurry, he was about to take his troops to escape. At this time, Shen Pei said, "Young Master, you must not do this. If you abandon your troops and escape, these people will inevitably surrender to Guan Yu. By then, Guan Yu has more soldiers and will be even more difficult to resist!"

"What if you do that? If you continue like this, you can't escape!" Yuan Tan said anxiously. Shen Pei said for a moment of contemplation and said, "It's better to leave a general to cut off the back! This is only two hundred miles away from Fan Yang. If he fights to the death here, he can ensure that our team of troops will retreat safely to Fan Yang."

"This..." After hearing this, Yuan Tan turned his head and looked at the people around him, and hesitated for a moment! At this time, someone clasped his fists and said, "Young Master, I'll ask for a command to cut off the rear!" Yuan Tan turned his head and saw that the young general was named Qin Huai. Qin Huai was his confidant, and at the critical moment he stood up.

Yuan Tan saw that he was reluctant to leave, but he knew that he could not hesitate at this time. So Yuan Tan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then you will be here to lead the army to block the enemy! Then the three thousand people in the rear army will be given to you to command the command. Be sure to block the enemy for five hours! Then you can run for your own life!"

Qin Huai clasped his fists and said, "Take a good boy, take care of yourself, the last one is here!" After saying that, he turned around and took two personal guards to the back army. Yuan Tan immediately ordered the entire army to run towards Fan Yang.

Speaking of which, Qin Huai, after coming to the rear army, he immediately reorganized the troops and gathered the teams that were dispersed by Pei Yuanshao's cavalry. The teams here had just gathered together, and at this time Pei Yuanshao rushed over again.

Qin Huai went out and stood in front of the formation and shouted: "We have surrendered the generals on the other side! At this time, Pei Yuanshao had already rushed to the front. He heard Qin Huai's shouting and immediately grabbed the horse and stared at him and asked: "Have you really surrendered?"

Qin Huai smiled and walked forward a few steps: "As long as you can save my life, what's wrong if you surrender!" As he said, he approached Pei Yuanshao. Pei Yuanshao looked at him approaching coldly, and sneered in his heart: "As long as you dare to attack, I will definitely kill you with a backhand!"

But he did have a mistake. Qin Huai approached and whispered: "I am the shadow man under the lord's command. Where is General Guan at this moment? I need to report it again!" Pei Yuanshao's eyes widened after hearing this, and then he said to Qin Huai: "The second general is still more than fifty miles away. If you want to go, I can send someone to take you there."

Qin Huai thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll help you fix these people first, and then rush to see General Guan!" After that, he didn't wait for Pei Yuanshao to answer, and then he turned back to the rear army and asked everyone to put down their weapons and surrender. Several chiefs and sergeant came up to question Qin Huai's decision, but were killed on the spot by him! All the three thousand rear army, which were regarded as abandoned by Yuan Tan, surrendered. I don't know if Yuan Tan knew whether he would be angry to death in the future.

After rectifying these people, Pei Yuanshao had no choice but to camp. At this time, Qin Huai thought about it for a while and stayed. He was afraid that after his departure, the surrendered soldiers would cause trouble again! So the two of them picked a flat ground and commanded the three thousand surrendered soldiers to start building the camp.

Shortly after the construction of the camp, Guan Yu led a large group of people to arrive here. Seeing the people around Pei Yuanshao, Guan Yu was stunned. Qin Huai hurried forward and saluted: "General Guan, his subordinates are from the shadows. When he returned from Yuan Tan this time, he has important information to report!" Guan Yu nodded after hearing this, and then the two of them entered the tent together.

When Guan Yu saw that there were no outsiders, he spoke, "Your Excellency, please tell me! What's the important thing to report?"

Qin Huai took out a piece of silk cloth from his arms and handed it over and said, "General Guan is a map of the troops distribution of Youzhou cities drawn by his subordinates. Please see, General." While speaking, he spread the silk cloth flat and said, "There are heavy troops in Fanyang City, which is really not easy to take. However, there are fewer defenders in Youbeiping City. Therefore, his subordinates suggest that General Guan do not attack Fanyang, and should change the route to capture his city!"

Guan Yu looked at the picture carefully and said, "You are right. The few soldiers I brought this time can't attack Fan Yang. There are really only 3,000 people stationed in Youbeiping?"

"Yes, General Guan sent troops to Bohai City this time, and specially transferred 5,000 troops from Youbeiping. The surrendered troops outside were those transferred from there." Qin Huai answered.

Guan Yu immediately stroked his long beard and nodded, "Since that's the case, let's take Youbeiping as you said!" Qin Huai was overjoyed when he saw Guan Yu agreeing to his suggestion. But in fact, Guan Yu had never thought about going to attack Fan Yang at all. Since the beginning, Guan Yu had only planned to take Youbeiping. Now with Qin Huai and these more than 3,000 Yuan army prisoners, it has become easier to take Youbeiping.

So Guan Yu discussed with Qin Huai and asked him to take these surrendered soldiers to open the city gate, and then Guan Yu led the army into the city again! After hearing this, Qin Huai agreed happily, so he turned around and the army headed straight for Youbeiping. Yuan Tan, who arrived in Fanyang City, was relieved when he heard that Guan Yu's army was withdrawing. He had lost his meals in the past two days. Now that Guan Yu left, he could rest. As for Qin Huai, who took the initiative to stay and cut off the rear, he had already forgotten all of them.

Not to mention Yuan Tan, Guan Yu led his men and horses to the east and headed straight for Youbeiping City. Two days later, there was still fifty miles away from the city. Guan Yu and Qinhuai separated. Qinhuai led people to go to the city gate first. Qinhuai did live up to expectations, so he successfully opened the city gate. At this time, Guan Yu rushed up with one horse. The defenders in the city suddenly suffered a sudden change and had no time to defend against the poop and were all captured. In this way, Guan Yu led his army to take down Youbeiping City without bloodshed!
