    On the hillside, Cao Cao, who was directing Cao's army to encircle, intending to complete the victory, also saw the dust and fog in the east.

    The look of shock that had subsided just now reappeared on the scorched face.

    The dust and mist that fills the sky is nothing if not Yan Liang¡¯s tens of thousands of troops.

    At this time, Cao Cao suddenly realized that Yan Liang's cavalry attack was not a reckless move relying on his own strength, but that he had already been prepared and followed the cavalry with a large number of infantry.

    At this point, not only Cao Cao, but also Guo Jia looked shocked, with a helpless look in his eyes.

    "Prime Minister, Yan Liang's reinforcements have arrived. I'm afraid this battle can no longer be fought. Please give the order to withdraw the troops, Prime Minister."

    Guo Jia said helplessly, his already gray face turned frighteningly pale.

    Everyone can see that the arrival of Yan Liang's reinforcements has dealt a heavy blow to Guo Jia's self-confidence.

    Who would have thought that such a carefully planned ambush would be cracked by Yan Liang? At this time, Guo Jia suddenly felt how powerless he was.

    Cao Cao¡¯s expression was not much better. Although he still tried his best to maintain his composure, no matter how much he pretended, the traces of anger and surprise in his eyes were enough to make all the civil and military officials around him feel it.

    "It's really true that a mere rebel general of the Yuan family could grow to such an extent"

    Cao Cao's mind went blank. He didn't know how to describe his feelings at this time. Everyone around him felt sad.

    After letting out a long sigh, Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "There is no point in fighting any more. Send the order, pay the gold and withdraw the troops, and withdraw the entire army to Shunyang City."

    When the order was given, the sound of golden roar suddenly rose up and could be clearly heard for miles around.  At the same time, the flag commanding the withdrawal of troops on the top of the mountain also started to wave.

    The generals of the Cao family, who were disturbed by the dust and fog in the east, heard the sound of gold ringing, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

    Ming Jin retreated his troops. This was an ironclad military order. The generals did not dare to disobey the order, so they hurriedly led their respective troops and retreated to the west.

    At this time, Yan Liang and Xu Chu had exchanged more than 500 moves.

    There is still no winner or loser.

    Xu Chu was like a monster, still using his physical strength and launching moves crazily.

    But Yan Liang was as calm as a mountain, and did not care about his momentary moves. The force of the sword was as continuous as a long river, steadily resolving Xu Chu's offensive.

    At this moment, the sound of ringing gold sounded.

    Xu Chu, who was startled, quickly glanced towards the hillside, and the retreat flag came into his eyes clearly.

    Xu Chu¡¯s ferocious face suddenly showed endless confusion and shock. He never imagined that his Prime Minister Cao would choose to withdraw his troops.

    "Could it be that Yan Liang's reinforcements really arrived in the east?"

    Seeing that Cao Jun began to retreat, a sneer appeared on Yan Liang's lips. When he realized that Xu Chu was distracted, the offensive on the sword suddenly began to intensify.

    "Xu Chu, didn't I tell you earlier, don't say it too early? I want to take a look now to see who is running away."

    When Yan Liang was furiously attacking, he did not forget to use words to stimulate Xu Chu.

    Xu Chu was so angry, his furry face was so angry that he was almost inhuman shape, and his steel teeth were so fierce that they could break into pieces.

    If it were possible, he would not hesitate to choose to fight Yan Liang to the death, and would never take a step back until he saw the outcome.

    " However, as a soldier, he could not ignore Ming Jin's ironclad order to withdraw his troops.

    Xu Chu knew very well how strict Cao Cao was in running the army. If he disobeyed military orders, even if he defeated Yan Liang, he would not be able to escape the punishment of military law in the end.

    Jin Sheng became more and more anxious, and large numbers of soldiers around him were already retreating to the west.

    Big beads of sweat were rolling down Xu Chu's forehead. At this time, he was in a dilemma.

    At this time, a young man rushed from the hillside and shouted: "General Xu, the Prime Minister has given orders not to quarrel with Yan Liang anymore and to retreat to Shunyang quickly."

    The young general who shouted the order was none other than Cao Xiu, the general of the Cao clan.

    It turns out that after Cao Cao ordered Jin Jin to withdraw his troops, he saw that Xu Chu refused to retreat. He was worried that Xu Chu would be in danger after Yan Liang's army arrived, so he immediately sent Cao Xiu to give the order.

    When Xu Chu heard Cao Xiu's order, he painfully knew that this time he had to retreat whether he retreated or not.

    Xu Chu sighed secretly, gritted his teeth, turned his horse and jumped out of the battle group, looking westward without looking back.

    Although this is an active retreat, it mayIt was a fact that Chu was retreated by Yan Liangzhan. Xu Chu, who was defeated, was filled with anger in his heart, but he could only endure it.

    Yan Liang did not pursue him. He just drew his sword and stood up. He laughed loudly and said, "Xu Chu, go back and tell my father-in-law to pack up your bed and go back to Guanzhong as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you die and your reputation is destroyed, don't blame me for this."  The son-in-law is ruthless."

    Yan Liang's cry was full of sarcasm, which only made Xu Chu furious and wanted to turn around and fight again.

    However, Xu Chu could only forcefully swallow the saliva back into his stomach, and shouted angrily: "Yan Liang, you thief, please stop being so arrogant, I -"

    Xu Chu wanted to leave a harsh word to save some face, but in the middle of the sentence, he suddenly heard the sound of a bowstring sounding behind him.

    A soldier's instinct told Xu Chu that Yan Liang must be shooting a cold arrow from behind.

    Xu Chu was taken aback. He didn't have time to utter another word, so he leaned Nuo Da's body on the horse's back in an attempt to avoid the incoming arrow.

    However, Xu Chu, who was lying down, did not hear the expected sound of arrows passing by him.

    Xu Chu felt suspicious and straightened up a little. Just when he was about to turn back and look again, he suddenly heard the sound of a string playing again.

    Without thinking too much, Xu Chu instinctively leaned down on the horse again, this time even more tightly.

    However, there was still no arrow passing through.

    "Could it be that this guy's archery skills are so poor that he missed the target"

    Xu Chu suddenly felt disdainful, and looked back with disdain, when he heard another string sound.

    Just when Xu Chugang was about to hide again, this time he saw clearly that Yan Liang behind him was actually drawing an empty bow.

    He is teasing me!

    Xu Chu's mind suddenly woke up, and his shame and anger were like a volcano, almost erupting from his mouth.

    Yan Liang, who was behind him, originally planned to ring the fourth bell, but when he saw that Xu Chu discovered his secret, he gave up and raised the empty bow in his hand towards Xu Chu, who had already run away, with a teasing smile on his face.

    Xu Chu was so angry that his face turned red like a piece of red-hot charcoal. He wished he could turn around and fight Yan Liang for another three hundred rounds, but he could only swallow his anger with difficulty.  Retreat willingly.

    After forcing back Hu Chi and tens of thousands of Cao's troops, Yan Liang stood up and watched Cao's troops retreat proudly, but did not order the pursuit.

    Because he saw that although Cao Jun was retreating, his formation was in order, with no sign of defeat at all. He was obviously on guard against Yan Liang's pursuit.

    With such a well-disciplined army, Yan Liang knew that if he pursued them forcefully, there would be no good results.

    "Seeing Cao's troops retreating slowly, a group of cavalry came like the wind from the west. The man in front was none other than Wen Chou with a surprised look on his face.

    Previously, Wen Chou was besieged by Cao's army, and he was attacked and killed by Xu Huang and Zhang Liao. He was struggling to support himself and fell into despair step by step.

    Just when Wen Chou was in a difficult situation, suddenly many of Cao's troops around him withdrew, which greatly reduced Wen Chou's pressure.

    Suspicious, Wen Chou looked eastward when he found an opening, and was pleasantly surprised to see the banner with the word "Yan" running rampant among thousands of troops.

    Wen Chou, who was in despair, just realized that it was his lord and brother who had killed him.

    Wen Chou was so happy that he was full of energy. He defeated the two generals and fought for hundreds of rounds without losing.

    Soon after, with the sound of gold ringing, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang led their troops to retreat. Wen Chou originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to pursue, but he was afraid of falling into the enemy's trap again, so he led his cavalry to join Yan Liang.

    Seeing Yan Liang's face, Wen Chou's mood surged like a wave. He couldn't help but sigh: "If my brother hadn't arrived in time, Wen Chou's life would probably have to be confessed here today. Wen Chou will remember my brother's life-saving grace in his heart."

    Yan Liang waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's Cao Cao who is cunning. I almost fell into his scheme. Fortunately, I saw through it in time, otherwise I would have damaged Ziqin, a general like you."

    When the brothers met each other, apart from feeling emotional, Wen Chou couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.

    After many years of fighting on the battlefield, this was the first time that Wen Chou was besieged to the point of almost despair. Cao Cao's siege against him deeply angered Wen Chou.

    "Brother, why don't you take advantage of the victory and defeat Cao's thieves in one fell swoop." Wen Chou angrily asked for a fight.

    Yan Liang sighed: "Cao's army is well-organized and has tens of thousands of troops. It's not easy to defeat Cao's army in one fell swoop with just our thousands of cavalry."

    "Brother, haven't our troops already arrived? If we have 30,000 infantry and cavalry, I don't believe that we can defeat Cao's army."

    ?Wen Chou pointed to the east and shouted excitedly. Obviously, the dust and mist rising in the east made him think that the main force of his infantry had arrived.

    "Then let's meet up with the army first."

    A mysterious smile appeared at the corner of Yan Liang's mouth, and he immediately turned his horse and looked eastward.

    Wen Chou couldn't understand the hidden meaning of Yan Liang's words for a while, so he had no choice but to follow him with suspicion and excitement.

    More than five thousand riders headed east along the avenue. At this time, the dust and fog in the sky gradually subsided. After traveling for several miles, they finally met up with the so-called "main force".

    When he saw the face of the "main force" clearly, a look of surprise appeared on Wen Chou's face.

    In front of him, there were no 30,000 elite infantry troops. All he saw was Zhou Cang and more than a hundred knights.

    "Brother, this is" Wen Chou fell into a daze for a moment.

    Yan Liang smiled lightly and said: "I estimate that the infantry should have arrived at Wancheng at this time. How could they reach here so quickly?"

    Wen Chou was shocked again. When he looked at Zhou Cang and others, he suddenly discovered that there were branches tied to the tails of more than a hundred horses.

    "Why are there branches tied to the tails of these war horses" Wen Chou became more and more curious and murmured to himself.

    After being at a loss for a moment, Wen Chou suddenly realized something. When he looked at Yan Liang again, his eyes were full of surprise and admiration.
