At the beginning of the fourth year of the first peace, Yuan Shu, who occupied Nanyang, incorporated the remnants of the Wancheng Montenegrin Army and the Southern Xiongnu Yu Fuluo to help himself, with Chen Lan as the vanguard, and Li Qi and Yu Fuluo, the leaders of the remnants of the Wancheng Montenegrin Army, as the left and right vanguards, and marched into Chenliu again to attack Yanzhou.

Hearing the news, Guo Jia was instantly indignant.

"Bastard thing! How dare you contact an alien! Hit, hit him hard! ”

Cao Cao's face was also very gloomy.

Since ancient times, those who are not of my race will have different hearts. The feud between the Han people was infighting, and Yuan Shu actually introduced the Southern Xiongnu rooted in the Central Plains into a big war!

Xun Yu came out and arched his hand and said, "Lord, Yu has a strategy, which can make Yuan Shu self-defeating." ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed: "Please speak if the text is ruo." ”

"Yuan Shu incorporated the rest of the Montenegrin Army and Yu Fuluo as the vanguard of the attack on Yanzhou, and suddenly there were two more armies on the front line, and there must be a shortage of food! The lord can send someone to contact Liu Biao and let Liu Biao's soldiers surround Nanyang and cut off Yuan Shu's grain road. At that time, the enemy army will be able to defeat itself. ”

Cao Cao sent a letter to attack Nanyang with Liu Biao's 50,000 stone grain and grass, and Liu Biao readily agreed.

Today's Cao Cao is the Cao Cao who just occupied Yanzhou and was short of food.

Not to mention the money and grain obtained by the Yanzhou Shi clan for donating and destroying the Wang clan and the Bian clan, the grain obtained through Tuntian alone was enough for the Cao army to fight for several years.

As a result, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao forced Nanyang and cut off Yuan Shu's grain road.

Guo Jia stayed in Chenliu County, and Cao Cao personally led the army to battle.

Guo Jia was worried that the Yanzhou scholars would make some small moves in secret, and in history, Cao Cao's conquest of Xuzhou was because of the Yanzhou scholars doing things and ushering in Lu Bu, causing Cao Cao to almost capsize in the gutter. Guo Jia didn't allow this kind of thing to happen again, so he started to guard against them in advance, and ordered Man Chong to pay more attention to the Yanzhou Shi clan's every move in the near future.

But after all, Mingjingtang had just been established and lacked the foundation, so Guo Jia still decided to stay in person, so that he could also feel at ease. Xi Zhicai guarded against the Xuzhou army, Xun Yu was not good at these conspiracies, and he was too merciful to deal with these things. Cheng Yu is too easy to kill, and Guo Jia is worried that Cheng Yu will do it before the Yanzhou Shi clan acts. As for Xun Yu, it is even more unsuitable, although he can deal with intrigues and tricks, but he is also as kind as Xun Yu. After thinking about it, it is most suitable for Guo Jia to guard Yanzhou by himself.

However, a few days later, when Cao Cao was out on reconnaissance, he was chased and killed by Yuan Shu's tribe, but fortunately Qin Shao impersonated, and Yuan Shu's tribe mistakenly thought that he was Cao Cao, so he killed him and left, so that Cao Cao escaped.

Frightened all the civil and military forces half to death, Guo Jia wrote a letter to scold Cao Cao, and at the same time he also strengthened Guo Jia's determination to find Xu Chu as Cao Cao's guard.

At the same time, Cao Cao was grateful for Qin Shao's kindness, so he adopted his son Qin Zhen as a fake son, changed his surname, changed his surname to Cao, and changed his name to Cao Zhen.

After hearing about this, Guo Jia asked Cao Zhen to come over, made him a disciple, and taught the art of war in person. After Cao Xiu and Xiahou Yuan's nephew Xiahou Shang heard about it, after getting Cao Cao's approval, they also took the initiative to apprentice Guo Jia, Guo Jia nodded, so Guo Jia followed three small followers all day long. Of course, in fact, Guo Jia is only six or seven years older than their eldest brother, so Guo Jia and them don't have much generation gap.

Gotcha, the Eight Tigers are complete.

The Eight Tiger Riders, also known as the "Eight Tiger Generals", refers to the famous generals among the eight clansmen under Cao Cao, because they belong to the same volume in the history book "Three Kingdoms", and they are all outstanding heroic figures, which are deeply loved by modern netizens, and the latter respectfully call these eight Eight Tiger Riders. They are: the one-eyed general Xiahou Dun, the right Xiahou Yuan of Hubu Pass, Cao Ren, who is known as the celestial, Cao Chun, the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, Cao Hong, who is loyal to the savior, Cao Xiu, the thousand-mile horse of the Cao family, Xiahou Shang who is a minion in the heart, and Cao Zhen, a famous general who resists Shu. These eight generals either made great contributions when Cao Cao started his business, or guarded one side during the Cao Pi and Cao Rui periods, each with wisdom and courage, and was revered by future generations.

The three juniors in the Eight Tigers rode all gathered here to study here this time.

Cao Cao surrounded the Yuan army early, and after the Yuan army ran out of food, he plotted to break through.

At this time, the favored Mingjing Hall sent a secret report, and Cao Cao learned that the vanguard of the Yuan army would break through early tomorrow morning.

Then, at Xun You's suggestion, Cao Cao sent Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Xuan, Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Cao Hong, Le Jin, Yu Ban, Li Dian, Han Hao, and Shi Jian to ambush the Yuan army that was short of food and broke through in an ambush array on ten sides.

Cao Chun beheaded Li Qi, the leader of the remaining Black Mountain Army in Wancheng, Xiahou Yuansheng captured Yu Fuluo, and Cao Ren also beheaded Chen Lan, the general of Yuan Shu.

Yu Fuluo wanted to surrender to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao's words broke his thoughts.

"In the past, Chen Tang once said, 'Those who offend me as a strong man will be punished even if they are far away.'" Today, Lone still uses this word to warn you and other alien rats! ”

Just kidding, what was Cao Cao's original dream?

Dedicated to making meritorious contributions to the country, he got the inscription on the tomb after his death: "The tomb of Cao Hou, the general of the Han Dynasty who conquered the west", and his life wish is enough.

Cao Cao's dream was to conquer foreign races, so Yu Fuluo had no way to live. Then, at the suggestion of Guo Jia, Cao Cao made a golden wine cup from Fu Luo's head and stored it in the mansion. Not only that, Cao Cao ordered all the Southern Xiongnu men to be killed, and the remaining women were given to meritorious soldiers, and Cao's army was greatly inspired.

Later, every time Cao Cao and Guo Jia killed a foreign leader, they would make their heads into golden wine cups, of course, they never used these gold wine cups, and they only used them as decorations to deter foreign races.

The 30,000 troops of Yuan Shu's vanguard were all annihilated, and Yuan Shu was shocked. Then Cao Cao took advantage of the situation to attack Yuzhou, and Yuan Shu's army was defeated without a fight. Then Liu Biao took the opportunity to conquer Nanyang County, and Cao Cao waved his army to chase and defeat the fleeing Yuan Shu, and defeated Yuan Shu in Xiangyi and Ningling. Yuan Shu retreated in defeat and retreat to Jiujiang County, held on to Huainan, did not dare to attack Cao Cao again, and sent Sun Ce to garrison Yuan Shu's army's last territory in Yuzhou - Peiguo. And Cao Cao is almost all based in Yuzhou, and the overlord has begun to appear.

At the same time, the war in Hebei has not stopped. Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan competed for Qingzhou, with the eldest son Yuan Tan as the Qingzhou Assassin History, Zhang He as the general, and Guo Tu as the military advisor, and ordered him to attack Gongsun Zhan's Prefecture Assassin Shi Tian Kai. Tian Kai led troops to meet the battle, repeatedly defeated by Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan gradually gained a foothold in Qingzhou, and Tian Kai sent envoys to unite with Beihai Taishou Kong Rong, the two worked together against Yuan Tan, and resisted Yuan Tan's attack in front of them.

In the spring of the fourth year of the first peace, Wei County mutinied, and tens of thousands of troops from the Black Mountain Army in the Poison Year captured Yecheng and killed Wei County Taishou. In June, Yuan Shao marched into Chaoge and attacked the Black Mountain Army near Lugut Mountain and the Poison Department. After five days of siege, Yan Liang personally climbed the mountain, killed Yu Poison, and beheaded more than 10,000 people of the Montenegrin army.

Yuan Shao immediately marched along the mountain, defeated the Black Mountain Army in the Mustache Zhangba, Liu Shi, Qingniujiao, Zuo Xiao, Guo Daxian, Li Damu, Yu Digen and other departments, and beheaded tens of thousands of people. And the Black Mountain Army Zhang Yan fought in Changshan, Zhang Yan's army was very strong, there were tens of thousands of elite soldiers, thousands of horses, the two armies fought fiercely for more than ten days, both sides were killed and wounded, and the soldiers were exhausted. So, Feng Ji personally sent an envoy to meet Zhang Yan, Chen said that after the benefits, the two sides boycotted the war, each led troops and retreated, and Zhang Yan saluted Yuan Shao's ministers and survived as Yuan Shao's vassal, and Yuan Shao gave Zhang Yan 50,000 stone grain.

Yuan Shao hated the Montenegrin Army to death, Yuan Shao was a face-saving person, and Yecheng, as his capital, was actually broken by bandits like the Montenegrin Army, but fortunately he was in Gongsun Zhan at the time, not in Yecheng. But there is no way, he can't consume too much manpower and material resources on Zhang Yan, otherwise he will be overstretched in the face of Gongsun Zhan. Moreover, he heard that Cao Cao was about to occupy Yan and Henan Prefectures, and he had more territory than he currently had, which brought him great pressure, so he chose to accept Zhang Yan's submission. Anyway, after he unifies Hebei, Zhang Yan will be eliminated by him sooner or later, and it will not be worse than this time.
