Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

"Don't waste your time!" Yuan Shang said sarcastically, "I am a professional. How can the poison I prepared be solved by ordinary people?"

When Cao Cao heard Yuan Shang's words, his heart sank and he secretly prayed for his health.

"Haha, Cao Mengde, just wait to die here." After Yuan Shang said this, he took the remaining troops back to Yecheng.

Cao Cao sighed in frustration, his plan had failed.

"Sikong Cao, Yuan Gonglu has entered the city." Ju Su said.

"Oh, it seems there is no hope. Send a message to all generals, evacuate across the board!" Cao Cao said helplessly.

Although Yuan Shang did not have the advantage, Cao Cao was still unwilling to take the risk.

Ju Su hurried down to pass on the order.

Cao Cao's troops began to withdraw, and Yuan Shang's troops followed behind to prevent Cao Cao from playing any tricks.

Yuan Shang was in a very bad mood. This defeat was an unprecedented blow to him, and he found it difficult to accept it for a while.

Yuan Shang remained silent all the way.

"My lord, are you okay?" Xu Chu asked worriedly.

"I'm fine." Yuan Shang waved his hand.

Xu Chu said: "This defeat is not surprising. The enemy is too cunning."

"Who says it's not true?" Yuan Shang sighed, "All this is caused by those bastards."

Xu Chu didn't say anything, he was also very angry at those corrupt officials.

Yuan Shang asked, "Mr. Fengxiao, how do you think we should fight this battle?"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "I think our army should not attack Yecheng by force. After all, Yecheng is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Only a few elite troops can break through the city.

Most of the troops were simply unable to break through the defenses of the city walls.

If we force a breakthrough, our army will be caught in a tough battle. Instead of doing that, it is better to retreat 300 miles, rest in Youzhou, and then recover the lost territory after our strength is restored. "

Yuan Shang nodded: "Mr. Fengxiao is right, and I think so too. So what should we do now?"

Jia Xu pointed to the distance and said with a smile: "Yuan Gonglu, you see there is a city ahead, why don't you lead the army to attack it, this way you can also gain a lot."

Yuan Shang looked in the direction Jia Xu pointed and found a city not far away.

Yuan Shang hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "If that's the case, then I'll go and take a look."

"Please!" Jia Xu said respectfully.

Yuan Shang led his army towards Youzhou.

Cao Cao saw this scene from the city wall, frowned, and murmured: "Did I lose again? I can't accept it!"

Cao Cao knew Yuan Shang's character very well. This guy would not give up until he achieved his goal. There must be a reason why he suddenly withdrew his troops.

Cao Cao's mind moved, and he said to Xu Chu beside him: "Xu Zhongkang, you take a thousand cavalrymen to chase and kill Yuan Shang. Make sure to kill him."

"I obey your command!" Xu Chu's eyes lit up. He knew Yuan Shang's strength. As long as he could kill him, the situation in Jizhou would be easy to control.

On the other side, Yuan Shang led his army slowly towards Youzhou, traveling light along the way.

Yuan Shang also knew that Cao Cao’s strength should not be underestimated, so he did not dare to delay too much time.

He wanted to reach Youzhou as soon as possible and then take back Jizhou that was taken away by Cao Cao.

While passing a hillside, a cavalry group suddenly appeared and blocked the way of Yuan Shang's army.

These cavalrymen were dressed in iron armor, holding spears, and riding fine horses.

"Who are you?" Yuan Shang shouted with a frown.

The cavalry leader rode forward and said in a loud voice: "I am Xu Huang, a cavalry captain under Liu Xuande! Yuan Gonglu, your luck has come to an end."

"Humph, so he is Cao Ang's lackey!" Yuan Shang snorted coldly.

"How dare you! You are the thieves who are causing trouble for me, why don't you surrender!" Xu Huang scolded. "Haha, with just 500 cavalrymen?" Yuan Shang sneered.

"Kill!" Xu Huang didn't waste any words and led his subordinates to rush towards Yuan Shang.

"Protect the emperor!" The guards under Yuan Shang quickly organized a resistance, and the two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

When the two armies fought, the troops led by Yuan Shang were clearly at a disadvantage and were suppressed by Xu Huang and his men to the point of being unable to breathe.

"Kill!" Xu Huang shouted and led the cavalry to charge madly. The infantry under Yuan Shang could not resist at all.

Yuan Shang's face turned extremely bad. He had lost this battle.

"Retreat!" Yuan Shang was unwilling to give in and prepared to escape with the remaining troops.

Xu Huang would never let Yuan Shang escape successfully, so he immediately ordered his troops to block Yuan Shang's way and continuously shoot arrows to slow down his escape.

Seeing this, Yuan Shang roared: "All troops, counterattack, kill them!"

The soldiers under Yuan Shang fought bravely and were entangled with Xu Huang's cavalry.

"Retreat!" Yuan Shang took the opportunity to lead his soldiers out of Xu Huang's encirclement and head towards Youzhou.

"My lord, if we continue like this, we will be exhausted!" Ju Su reminded anxiously.

"What else can I do? It's better than dying here." This is the only way Yuan Shang can comfort himself now.

"My lord, it's bad, we are surrounded by the enemy!" At this moment, a soldier shouted in horror.

"What!" Yuan Shang was shocked. Why was he so unlucky?

"Oh no!" Ju Su was also panicked.

"Haha, Yuan Gonglu, today is the day you die!" Xu Huang rushed towards Yuan Shang with a big laugh.

Yuan Shang was so frightened that he was shaking all over. He felt that he was doomed this time.

"Mr. Fengxiao, save me!" Yuan Shang shouted for help.

Ju Su's face turned pale. How could he help Yuan Shang in this situation? He himself was in a difficult situation.

"My lord, you're on your own!" Ju Su left this sentence and ran away.

Yuan Shang cursed: "Coward, coward, I trusted you so much!"

Xu Huang looked at Yuan Shang coldly and said, "Yuan Gonglu, your death has come. Just accept it."

"You can't kill me. I am the Son of Heaven. What you are doing is regicide! All nine generations of my clan will be exterminated!" Yuan Shang shouted.

"Hey, how pitiful." Xu Huang taunted, "Don't forget that you are still under the rule of our Han Dynasty.

Even if you are the emperor, you are the emperor of our Han Dynasty, and you are a Han Chinese.

We can do whatever we want, and you have no right to interfere."

"Kill!" Xu Huang drew his sword and slashed at Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang closed his eyes, waiting for death to come.

Xu Huang slashed with his knife, but Yuan Shang still didn't feel the pain.

Xu Huang was stunned. He actually failed to hit Yuan Shang.

"My lord, are you okay?" Xu Chu asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Yuan Shang was also frightened just now. He didn't expect that he actually avoided Xu Huang's fatal blow.

"I'm glad you're okay." Xu Chu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn it! How dare you assassinate me!" Yuan Shang stared at Xu Huang angrily.

Xu Huang said with a smile: "I didn't plot against you, I just didn't hit you just now, you just didn't notice it."

"You bastard!" Yuan Shang was furious. (End of this chapter)
