During the mobilization and reorganization of Wei Jun’s soldiers and horses, Yuan Shao also wanted to send cavalry into the destruction. After Huaxiong’s Xiliang cavalry arrived in Wei Jun, plus the cavalry originally in Han Fu’s hand, although Zhang Yun selected five thousand elites, But there are more than fifteen thousand.

The cavalry of Huang Zhong and Hua Xiong, together with these cavalry, totaled 25,000 cavalry. Yuan Shao’s 20,000 cavalry could not take much advantage in front of them, especially there were five thousand Xiliang cavalry and Hua Xiong is a rider.

The two sides are on the Hebei Plain, you come and I fight, but in the cavalry battle, Yuan Shaojun still wins less and loses more.

Time soon arrived in September, and the dark clouds of war slowly shrouded in the sky over Sizhou.

On the sixth day of September, Yanzhou Mufenwei General Cao Cao issued a message saying that General An Dong Sizhou Muhuangfu Chaobo violated Gu Chaoting’s decree and brazenly placed Jizhou Mu Han Fu and Chen Liu’s prefect Zhang Miao under house arrest. Cao Cao called on the heroes of the world to attack. Responding to the mandate of heaven, go to An Li Shu.

Subsequently, Qingzhou Muxia Houyuan, Jizhou Muchaqi General Qixiang Hou Yuanshao, Yangzhou Muzuo General Yuan Shu, Bingzhou Muwen Hou Lvbu, and Zhendong General Nanyang Prefect Zhang Ji successively raised their troops to express their response.

On the 8th day of September, Cao Cao raised 80,000 troops, known as 150,000, to attack Huangfu Chaobo in two ways.

One of them was Cao Hong, the prefect of Qiaojun, led an army of 30,000, known as 60,000, to attack Chenliuxiang from Liang. The other way was led by Cao Cao, and Xiahou Dun, the prefect of the East County, was the forward, leading an army of 50,000, known as an army of 90,000, to attack Puyang.

Two days later, General Yuan Shao, the chariot general, raised one hundred thousand troops, known as two hundred thousand, and attacked Weijun in three ways.

On the same day, Wen Hou Lubu raised 50,000 troops, known as 80,000 troops, from Taiyuan to Hedong.

Later general Yuan Shu sent 30,000 troops, known as 80,000 troops, and sent troops from Shouchun to Runan.

In Nanyang, the Zhendong General Zhang Ji raised 30,000 soldiers, known as 50,000, to block Yang.

For a time, there was a cloud of war around Sizhou, and the war was about to start.

On the contrary, it was Guo and Li from Yongzhou. After all the troops in the Guandong area, there was no movement for a few days, as if they had forgotten their agreement with Cao Cao.

On the day Cao Cao published his message, Huangfu Chaobo led his 10,000 guards to Chen Liu and assisted Long Xiangying and Chen Liu's defenders in defending Chen Liu.

On September 12th, Cao Cao's army arrived at Puyang City and set up a camp at five miles east of the city. Cao Cao’s army has a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses, including 10,000 tigers and leopards, 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers, 5,000 heavy infantry, and the remaining 25,000 ordinary soldiers. Of course, 50,000 soldiers, auxiliary militiamen and accompanying troops. There are more than 20,000 craftsmen.

After arriving at Puyang City and setting up the camp, Cao Cao did not arrange for an army to attack the city immediately. Instead, he ordered the army to rest and prepare for the offensive tomorrow, and he gathered everyone for discussion in the big account.

After arranging the siege of the city tomorrow, Cao Cao swung back the generals, but he kept Xiahou Dun behind.

"Yuan Rang, how are things arranged?" Cao Cao asked;

Xiahoudun replied: "The other party has promised to open the city gate for us at the right time, but Zhao Yun is a very important general of Huangfu Chaobo. He is cautious and he may have to wait patiently for the period."

Cao Cao nodded. He also knew that such a thing should not be rushed. A big city like Puyang could not be captured within three or five days.

On the second day, as soon as the sky fell, the Cao Jun camp outside Puyang city began to lively, the army began to eat, and then prepared to attack the city.

For this city, it can be said to be a thorn in Xiahoudun's heart. The 20,000 army defended such a heavy town, and was captured by the Sizhou Army. Therefore, this time, for him, wisdom must be gained.

With the sound of the booming war drums, Cao Cao's army began to attack Puyang City. This time, Cao Cao's army only launched an attack on the east and north walls.

Because the west of Puyang is Baima City and Baima Port controlled by the Sizhou Army, and the south is Pushui, Cao Cao simply let go of the two walls and put the purpose of the offensive on the east and north walls.

It was Xiahou Dun who was in charge of the attack on the north side of the city wall, and to the east were the other two generals under Cao Cao, Cao Cao’s eldest son Cao Ang and nephew Cao Anmin.

For the two second generations of the Cao family, whether it is Cao Cao or the Cao Ren brothers and the Xiahou brothers, they are very satisfied. Both of them are the best of their generation in terms of combat strength and commanding ability. When they grow up, it will be a great help for Cao Cao's forces, especially Cao Ang is still Cao Cao's eldest son.

Xu was Cao Cao in order to join other forces into the war as soon as possible, and the war was fierce from the beginning. Because Xiahou Dun took a sigh of breath, he attacked fiercely. A team of soldiers were rushed to the city wall and attacked the city.

On Cao Cao's side, because he originally had the idea of ​​training two young generals, Cao Cao did not intervene in the use of the two soldiers. The two led the soldiers to attack the city in turn.

In this way, the two armies fought desperately at the head of Puyang for two days, and the armies each suffered casualties. Cao Cao’s army suffered two thousand casualties, while Sizhou also suffered hundreds of casualties.

On the 14th, with the sound of the Cao Cao army outside the city, the battle of the day ended again. After Zhao Yun arranged to replace the soldiers at the head of the city, he returned to the city to eat. After eating, he had to lead his soldiers to patrol the defenses on the city wall before he could return to the tower to rest.

The desperate attack of Cao Cao's army in two days made Zhao Yun exhausted. However, he was always cautious by nature and stayed in the tower, and had not left the city wall for two days.

After patrolling the city wall, Zhao Yun was about to rest inside the city tower. At this moment, the voice of a guardian came from outside the city tower: "General, the magistrate Wei is here."

Zhao Yun lifted his spirits, thinking in his mind why the county magistrate had come to the wall at this late hour. Although he was puzzled in his heart, his hands and feet were not slow. After quickly equipped with all the weapons, he walked out of the tower, just to see Puyang County magistrate Weitz leading dozens of guards up the tower.

"What's the matter of Madam Wei going up to the tower late at night?"

"General Zhao, there is nothing to do with the next officials," Weizi stepped forward and said with a salute: "It was just that Cao's army attacked the city for two days. The general never went down the city wall, so I went up to the city to take a look. Is there anything that the lower officials can help."

"Master Wei is interested, everything is fine in the city, but the people in the city still need to be comforted by adults. My army has 25,000 people, and the Cao thief only has an army of 50,000 or 60,000. It is not that easy to invade the city. But..." Zhao Yun said suddenly;

"But how?"

"The Cao thief army is uncharacteristically. It will attack the city with all its strength as soon as the war starts. Some suspects that there must be a reason for this. Please be aware of changes in the city."
