The fall of Yunding Pass means that the Cao army opened the gate to Yanmen County north, and 70,000 Cao troops entered Yanmen County. The queen of heaven and Cao army arrived in Sangshui and set up a camp on the riverside. At this time, the Wan Dajun led by Cao Zhang went north and arrived at the northwest of the Great Wall Pass in Wuzhou County, cutting off the Xiongnu retreating from the northwest to the grassland.

At the same time, former military advisor Zhong Yao and general Yu Jin led 20,000 troops to cross the mountain from north to occupy Yanmen Pass, and the northeast was cut off. At this point, the Xiongnu army had no more return to the north, and Cao's army surrounded and blocked more than 200,000 Xiongnu people in Yanmen County.

In the evening of that day, a team of Cao army scouts led a Xiongnu envoy into Cao Cao's tent. The envoy knelt down and saluted, "Zhao Ling pays homage to Duke Wei."

Cao Cao was sitting at the table for dinner. He drank a glass of wine, wiped his hands with a cloth, and gave the guards a wink. Several guards immediately lifted the table down. Cao Cao then looked at the envoy, who was about forty years old, spoke fluent Chinese and looked like a Central Plains man. He was white and fat, full of wealth, and his small eyes were very smart, and he looked like a businessman.

"You are not a Hun, are you?" Cao Cao asked lightly.

"The villain is a Han native of Yanmen and has been doing business for generations. The villain has been traveling between Yanmen and the Central Plains. He was hired by Zuo Xianwang as the chief clerk of the warehouse and took charge of the warehouse materials for the Xiongnu."

Cao Cao nodded, "Since that's the case, I want to ask you, where are Liu Bao's wealth that has accumulated for so many years?"

"Reporting to Duke Wei, the wealth of the Xiongnu is different from that of our Han people. Their wealth is cattle, sheep, fur, cloth and other materials. There are very few things like gold and silver, and there is not much food."

"Then talk about the wealth of the Huns, where are they?"

"Cows and sheep follow the owner, fur, cloth and other materials are stored in Mayi County, not far from here."

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, and thought turned back and said with a smile: "What did Liu Luo ask you to do?"

"The king asked the villain to come to see Duke Wei in hopes of reaching a compromise with Duke Wei."

"Oh, what compromise?" Cao Cao asked with interest.

Seeing that Cao Cao seemed very interested, Zhao Ling was immediately excited and said, "Liu Luo would like to make a poisonous oath. The Huns will withdraw from Bingzhou and will not step into the Central Plains again. He only hopes that Duke Wei will let the Huns live in their lives in order to get along with each other in the past and let them return to the grassland."

Cao Cao pondered for a long time and said slowly: "I want to know where his sincerity lies. I can let him go, but I must see sincerity."

"Reporting to Duke Wei, in order to show the sincerity of the Huns, Liu Luo was willing to hand over all the supplies and half of the cattle and sheep to Duke Wei, and the Huns only brought half of the cattle and sheep to the north."

Cao Cao thought for a while and finally nodded, "In view of the fact that the Huns were quite honest in the past, I will let them live. I will give them time to heaven. They can withdraw from Yanmen Pass and surpass heaven. I will never be merciless."

Zhao Ling was overjoyed, kowtowed and thanked her, and hurried back. At this time, Cheng Yu came after hearing the news and said anxiously: "Wai Duke promised to let the Xiongnu leave, which will inevitably affect the battle situation between the Han army and Liu Bao. Moreover, the world conference on Wei Duke secretly communicated with the Xiongnu people and had a great influence on Wei Duke's reputation. I hope Wei Duke will think."

Cao Cao smiled faintly, "Does Zhongde think I really can let the Huns go?"

Cheng Yu was stunned, "That's what Mr. Wei means"

Cao Cao walked a few steps behind his hands, and then he said slowly: "Zhang'er and Yuanchang guarded the northeast and northwest. This was just a break for them to return to the outside world. However, the Huns can still take a detour south or go to Hebei. They are not unavailable, so I asked them to go to Yanmen Pass in the northwest. When they arrived at Yanmen Pass, it would be impossible for them to go south or east. They could only be my turtle in the jar."

Cheng Yu sighed secretly and smiled helplessly: "Wei Gongbing is never tired of deceit, I understand."

Cao Cao immediately ordered: "I ordered Xu Huang and Zhang He to lead ten thousand troops to wait for the Xiongnu to retreat to Yanmen Pass and kill me with all my strength."

On the second day of November, in a heavy snowfall of goose feathers, more than 200,000 Huns finally retreated to Yanmen Pass, but things were completely different from what they imagined, and Zhong Yao did not give up the pass.

At this moment, Cao Zhang led 20,000 troops to attack from the west, Xu Huang led 10,000 troops to attack from the south, and Zhang He led 10,000 troops to attack from the east, and Cao's army also launched a large-scale attack on the Huns.

The Huns had only 20,000 troops to protect their families, women and children. In less than an hour, the Huns' army collapsed. The Huns' king Liu Luo failed to break out to the west and died tragically under Cao Zhang's gun. More than 200,000 Huns all became prisoners of the Cao army.

At this point, except for some sporadic tribes in Dingxiang County and Yunzhong County, Liu Bao's core tribes fell into Cao Cao's hands.

Cao Cao immediately ordered Cao Zhang and Zhang He to lead ten thousand troops north to purge the Huns in Dingxiang and Yunzhong, and completely eliminate Liu Bao's foundation in Bingzhou.

As Cao Cao's army marched north in Bingzhou, Liu Bao could no longer wait in the pass. Taking advantage of the snowy night cover, Liu Bao led tens of thousands of troops to abandon the camp and cattle and sheep, and evacuated eastward with a raft overnight.

Liu Bao's camp was not far from the Yellow River, only more than fifty miles apart, but it was snowy all over the sky and the thick snow covered on the ground, making it particularly difficult for them to march until noon the next day when they arrived at the Yellow River.

There is also heavy snow on the Yellow River, and the world is dark. In the past, you can clearly see the opposite bank of the Yellow River, but now you can't see anything outside the steps.

Liu Bao stood on a hill. He looked up at the heavy snow in the sky and couldn't help but sigh. This year, the sky was eyeless, and the heavy snow was particularly violent. Is this time the sky destroyed the Huns?

At this time, a cavalry rushed over, "King"

Liu Bao took back his feelings and asked quickly: "How is the Yellow River?"

"A finger of thick ice has formed on the edge of the Yellow River, and the ice surface is more than ten meters wide."

Liu Bao suddenly felt cold in his heart. He lived by the Yellow River for a long time and knew the habits of the Yellow River. He only pointed to the thick ice, which was more than ten feet wide. It was completely frozen from the Yellow River, and it would take at least five days. It was snowing heavily on the river surface, and it was difficult to tell the path of the raft. Moreover, the wind and waves were so high that it was the most dangerous time to cross the Yellow River. When crossing the Yellow River, you may die for a lifetime.

A leader of the Wanqiu behind him suggested: "It's better to go north to Hetao River, and it's freezing there first."

Liu Bao glared at him fiercely, "What nonsense is that snow is so heavy, and we have no food, so we will be trapped and killed halfway."

Captain Wan Qi did not dare to say anything anymore. Liu Bao stared at the Yellow River again, sighed, and said to everyone: "Cao Cao is a treacherous person and will definitely take advantage of the emptiness of our internal affairs and launch a large-scale attack. If we do not rush back, all the tribesmen will be exterminated. Even though it is difficult to cross the river, we will kill them back."

Everyone was anxious and bowed together and said, "I am willing to cross the river immediately."

Liu Bao immediately ordered: "Send the army to cross the river."

Liu Bao's army began to cross the river in a mighty manner, but Liu Bao kept looking back. He was most worried that the Han army would suddenly come and attack halfway, so he didn't even have the chance to organize resistance.

This is often the case. The more you worry about something, the more something will happen. Just as the first group of Thousand Huns soldiers got on the raft, fierce drums suddenly sounded behind them and on both sides of the east and west. The Han army came from all directions, and the Huns' army was in chaos.

Zhao Yun had arrived a long time ago, and he was hiding his troops several miles away, waiting for the opportunity to attack. When the scout reported that the first group of Hun soldiers began to cross the river, Zhao Yun knew that the opportunity had come and immediately ordered a full-scale attack.

Forty-five thousand Han troops launched a fierce attack on the Ten Thousand Xiongnu troops. At this time, the Hun soldiers were all thinking about crossing the river and returning home, and their will to resist was greatly weakened, although Liu Bao ordered them to line up to resist again.

But only a small number of Huns soldiers responded to his orders, and most of them rushed towards the Yellow River with their skins in their arms. The situation on the edge of the Yellow River was very chaotic. Zhao Yun and Zhang Yi led 20,000 infantry soldiers to fight against more than 10,000 Huns from Liu Bao from the front, while Pang De from the south, Ma Dai and Leng Bao from the north, they led 24,000 Han cavalry to attack the Huns' army who were trying to cross the river and flee.

The banks of the Yellow River were chaotic, with crying, shouting, and screaming everywhere. The Hun soldiers ran away desperately, and behind them were teams of murderous Han cavalry, ruthlessly killing these completely collapsed Hun soldiers.

By the Yellow River, dozens of large rafts were filled with escaped soldiers. Countless Hun soldiers grabbed the raft and refused to let go. They cried and begged to get on the raft, but the Hun soldiers on the raft cut off their fingers and pushed them into the river. The wailing sounds and cries resounded throughout the river, and countless soldiers drowned in the Yellow River.

Amid the sound of war drums, Ma Dai led 8,000 cavalry to launch an attack on Liu Bao's army from behind. The morale of more than 10,000 Liu Bao's army was sluggish and the morale of the army was shaken. It was already difficult to resist the attack of 20,000 Han infantry soldiers on the front. Now behind it, it was fiercely attacked by the Han cavalry. Liu Bao's army finally couldn't resist it. The right wing fled first, causing the entire army to be defeated.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Bao rode his horse to run north. At this time, he just wanted to escape to Hetao. As for the heavy snow seal, he would be trapped and died in half, he didn't care. He threw off his golden helmet and ran north in a mess under the escort of dozens of personal soldiers.

At this moment, a five-man Han cavalry came from the slanting stalker, just blocking Liu Bao's escape. The cavalry was composed of Wuhuan people. A Wuhuan soldier recognized Liu Bao and pointed at him and shouted: "Where is Liu Bao?"

Liu Bao was very angry and slashed his sword, trying to kill a piece of blood. At this time, the young cavalry marquis urged his horse to run away, and flew around about ten steps away from Liu Bao. However, as he ran by, a continuous pearl arrow shot out, with strong power and arrows shot to the vital point.

Liu Bao was caught off guard and was shocked. He swung his knife and slashed two arrows in a row. However, the young military marquis deliberately shot slowly. Just as Liu Bao thought there was no arrow and took the knife back, the arrow suddenly appeared in front of him. It was too late for Liu Bao to dodge again. He felt a chill in his neck. With a puff, the wolf-tooth arrow shot through Liu Bao's neck.

Liu Bao groaned and fell off the horse. The young army marquis was overjoyed and urged the horse to run. He swung his sword and killed more than a dozen Liu Bao's guards. With a long sword, he chopped off Liu Bao's head. The tip of the knife was hooked, and the head was picked up. The young army marquis raised his head high and roared to the sky. The Han cavalry suddenly cheered like thunder.
