Chapter 105: Cao Cao established the foundation and Liu Bei rushed to help

Hearing Yu Ban's shout, Cao Cao became more and more fond of Ban, but he did not immediately throw an olive branch to Yu Ban, after all, Bao Xin had just died.

Cao Cao, who did not say anything to solicit Yu Ban, immediately asked Cao Hong to begin to accept the surrender of the Yellow Turban Army.

Cao Hong immediately began to act after receiving the order.

After Cao Hong completely controlled the Yellow Turban Army in the valley, he hurriedly rushed to Cao Cao and said: "Lord, the Yellow Turban Army in the valley has been completely controlled by me, what should we do next?" ”

"Zilian, since the Yellow Turban Army has been controlled, then you can follow me to incorporate all the Yellow Turban Army along the way!"

After understanding what Cao Cao meant, Cao Hong immediately agreed.

Subsequently, Cao Cao was left behind in the custody of the captives, while he himself took Cao Hong and some of the elite to kill him.

Because Cao Cao took Lin Hua's head along the way to persuade him to surrender, the divided Yellow Turban Army soldiers soon lost Lin Kang's heart and began to surrender.

In the end, Cao Cao successfully recruited all the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans.

Since then, Cao Cao has harvested more than 200,000 soldiers and a population of nearly one million.

Cao Cao, who had won a great victory, soon returned to Chenliu County.

Seeing Cao Cao's return from a great victory, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Xun You and other civil officials under his command went out of the city to greet him.

After a night of repairs, Cao Cao summoned his military generals to start the discussion.

The first to speak was Sima Xunyu, who was very pleased to say to Cao Cao after calculating Cao Cao's results: "My lord, this time we defeated the Yellow Turban Army, we have incorporated a population of nearly one million, including more than 200,000 soldiers, with these people, the situation of insufficient population in my Yanzhou will be greatly alleviated." ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao immediately smiled and continued: "I didn't expect the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army to be so fat, with this nearly one million rao filling, all the affairs of Yanzhou can be completed faster, Wen Ruo, except for those soldiers of the right age, I will leave the rest of the people to you to dispose of." ”

After hearing this, Xun Ruo replied very gratefully: "The minister must do his best to complete the stop of the lord."

Immediately after, Cao Cao said again: "Yuan Rang, among those Qingzhou troops of the right age, you can select some of them to form an army alone, and the rest of the unqualified people will be handed over to Wen Ruo to deal with." ”

"The last general obeys!"

After arranging the surrender of prisoners in Qingzhou, Cao Cao began to develop in full swing in Yanzhou.

Because Cao Cao's position as Yanzhou pastor had not yet been recognized by the imperial court, Cao Cao sent people into Chang'an to seek an appointment from the imperial court not long after dealing with the surrender of Qingzhou.

As Cao Cao's envoy entered Chang'an, Li Dao and Guo Yan, who actually controlled the government, agreed to appoint Cao Cao as the pastor of Yanzhou, after all, although Cao Cao did not have the name of Yanzhou pastor, he already had the reality of Yanzhou pastor, and they were just pushing the boat down the river to sell Cao Cao a face.

With Cao Cao's envoys bringing back the appointment of the imperial court, Cao Cao began to use Yanzhou as a base to prepare for the deer.

With the appointment of the imperial court, Cao Cao recruited Bao Xin's subordinates to ban.

After Yu Ban was recruited by Cao Cao, he agreed without hesitation, because he was very convinced of Cao Cao's ability, and Bao Xin was also dead for a while.

Cao Cao, who successfully recruited Yu Ban, immediately took drastic measures to rectify the government affairs of Yanzhou.

At this time, the remnants of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban were short of food, and another of them, Guan Hai, led a large army to the territory of Beihai to borrow grain from Beihai Xiangkongrong.

When Kong Rong learned that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban army was pressing the border, he immediately dispatched troops to gather in Duchang County.

Just after Kong Rong's army was assembled, Guan Hai led tens of thousands of troops to Duchang County.

When Guan Hai learned that Kong Rong was in the city, he immediately shouted under the city: "Kong Beihai, I have heard that Beihai has a wide range of grain, and now the people of our department are about to run out of food for the winter, I don't know if Kong Beihai can lend me 10,000 stone of grain to let us survive this year's cold winter." ”

Hearing Guan Hai say this, Kong Rong replied loudly: "I am the minister of the Han Dynasty, guarding the land of the Han Dynasty, how can there be grain and rice and thieves?" ”

Seeing Kong Rong like this, Guan Hai was immediately furious, but he had nothing to do in the face of Jiancheng, so he had to camp in place.

Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army planned to besiege the city, Kong Rong suddenly became a little worried, because although he had assembled a large army in Duchang County, the food available for the army to eat was not yet ready.

Just a few days after the Yellow Turban Army besieged the city, Donglai Tai Shi Ci followed his mother's suggestion to kill the Yellow Turban Army and went to Duchang County.

Kong Rong, who was watching the whole battle, saw that a member of the city was about to be killed, and he immediately ordered someone to open the city gate and let Tai Shici enter the city.

After Tai Shi Ci saw Kong Rong, he immediately saluted him and said, "Donglai Tai Shi Ci pays a visit to Kong Beihai. ”

After hearing this, Kong Rong hurriedly replied: "You are Taishi Ziyi? ”

Seeing Kong Rong say his own words, Tai Shici was very surprised and continued: "Kong Beihai also knows grass people? ”

"I have heard that I have sent someone to support your mother."

"Kong Beihai, since you already know, then I will tell you bluntly, my old mother asked me to come to repay Kong Beihai's kindness."

As soon as he heard this, Kong Rong replied with a smile: "Ziyi came just in time, I have something to stop."

"Kong Beihai, but it doesn't matter."

"My troops are defeated by the Yellow Turban, and I want to send you to break through to the plains to ask Liu Xuande for help from the plains."

After hearing this, Tai Shici immediately responded: "This matter is not difficult, I will leave now." ”

"Wait! Today's Ziyi battle is already tired, so let's take a break and go again! ”

"Thank you Kong Beihai for your concern, I can move in to rescue the troops as soon as possible to relieve the siege of Duchang as soon as possible."

Seeing Tai Shici like this, Kong Rong no longer forced him to stay.

Soon, Tai Shi Ci went out of the city again.

Because the Yellow Turban Army was not strictly guarded, coupled with Tai Shi Ci's excellent martial arts, Tai Shi Ci quickly fought his way out of the encirclement.

After breaking through, Tai Shici traveled day and night, and finally came to Pingyuan County to meet Pingyuan Ling Liu Bei.

Immediately, Tai Shi Ci immediately said to Liu Bei: "I am Donglai Tai Shi Ci, now I came to find Lord Liu to send troops to rescue on the order of Kong Beihai, Qingzhou Yellow Turban is besieging Duchang County, Kong Beihai has heard the name of Lord Liu's benevolence and righteousness, and I hope that Lord Liu will quickly send troops to relieve the siege of Duchang." ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei replied in surprise: "Kong Beihai also knows me Liu Xuandehu?" ”

At the end, Liu Bei shouted loudly: "Second brother, third brother, quickly pass on my military order, and we will immediately send troops to help Kong Beihai." ”

After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were waiting outside the door, received Liu Bei's military order, the two of them immediately dispatched 3,000 soldiers and horses.

Subsequently, Liu Bei led 3,000 troops to Beihai Kingdom.

Under the leadership of Tai Shici, Liu Bei's army only took a few days to reach the vicinity of Duchang County.

After a short rest, when he learned that the Yellow Turban Army surrounding Duchang County had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, Liu Bei thought for a while and then said to Tai Shi Ci: "General Taishi, the Yellow Turban Army is a rabble, we will lead the troops to raid directly, and you will enter the city to make a statement to Kong Beihai and let him go out of the city to attack on both sides, so that the siege of Duchang can be solved." ”

Tai Shici immediately agreed after hearing this.

Soon, Liu Bei led Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to attack and kill the Yellow Turban Army.

The Yellow Turban Army, which was suddenly attacked, did quickly become chaotic, and Guan Hai, who led the army, followed and killed Liu Bei's army.

At this time, Tai Shici took the opportunity to enter the city and inform Kong Rong of Liu Bei's plan.

Kong Rong hesitated again and again, and finally sent troops.

But at this time, after Guan Yu and Guan Hai met, he just killed Guan Hai with a knife in his hand.

With Guan Hai's death, the Yellow Turban Army under his command instantly collapsed and collapsed.

By the time Kong Rong left the city, the Yellow Turban Army had already scattered and fled.

Seeing this, Kong Rong hurriedly laughed and invited Liu Bei to the city to hold a celebration banquet.

At the end of the celebration banquet, Liu Bei also led his troops to withdraw to Pingyuan County.
