Hanoi City is located between the Taihang Mountains and the Yellow River, the terrain is dangerous, the land is fertile, the population is more than 800,000, it is the second largest city in the late Han Dynasty, second only to Luoyang's million population, and three times the population of Chang'an of 280,000. And this historical city, with the spread of the war in the troubled times, will inevitably suffer a catastrophe.

The night sky of Hanoi was illuminated by the sky-high fire, the smoke choked people, and the city was full of shouts of killing, screams before death, and heart-rending screams of women. Cao Cao's soldiers burned and plundered in the city, doing everything, smashing the doors of people's houses, looting food and property when they saw them, killing people when they saw them, and the women with a little posture were even more pitiful, and they were immediately ravaged by ten or eight wolf-like soldiers. This group of Qingzhou army was the Yellow Turban defeated army that was killed by Lu Bu and Zhao Yun in Bishui Pass, Cao Cao took advantage of the fire to rob and absorb a large part, they fought bravely and well, but the military discipline was extremely corrupt, plus Cao Cao promised to disband the military discipline for three days, the people of Hanoi fell into their bad luck.

In addition to the soldiers of Cao Cao's army, some hooligans and ruffians in Hanoi were not to be outdone, under the banner of welcoming the righteous army and killing Wang Kuang's rebels, taking advantage of the chaos of the situation, following Cao Cao's army to take advantage of the fire to rob, rob and rape, kill people and set fires, and do all kinds of evil, pity the people of Hanoi, the city is full of flesh and blood, there are bloody corpses that have been cut down and not killed, many people are unbearable to be humiliated, hanging beams into the well and throwing themselves into the river and countless people have died, it is simply a living picture of hell on earth.

Cao Cao's army commander Cao Cao is also unceremoniously, this ** enthusiast has put several of Wang Kuang's beautiful wives into the room, and is agitating in the room, inciting Wang Kuang's wives to follow him to enjoy Qingfu from now on, "I have to see all the ladies today, I am really lucky, tonight I will be the same pillow, I will return to the capital, and enjoy the wealth and prosperity, how about it?" ”

It was normal for women in the Han Dynasty to remarry, not to mention that Wang Kuang's wives were still panicking, so they dared to refuse, and they all lowered their eyebrows and agreed softly, and their flexible eyes had already untied Cao Cao's wide clothes. At this time, there was a knock on the door of Cao Cao's room, "Lord, Xiaosheng Guo Jia asks to see the lord." ”

Cao Cao knew Guo Jia's temper, and he would never bother himself at this time if there was no important matter, so he grabbed his clothes and covered his body indiscriminately, "Fengxiao, come in." ”

Guo Jia gently pushed open the door, he had already guessed what Cao Cao was doing in the room, and after entering the house, he didn't even raise his head, maintaining the posture of looking at his nose and nose and his nose, "My lord, please immediately order to stop slaughtering the people, and you can't kill them again." ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, his voice was a little displeased, "Why?" I once promised to disband the army for three days after the city was broken, do you want me to break my promise to the soldiers? ”

Guo Jia stared at his toes, and his voice did not fluctuate at all, "Lord, do you know why the Dong thief insisted on bringing nearly a million victims when he evacuated Luoyang?" When Dong Thief first arrived in Chang'an, the situation was so difficult, why did he insist on accepting the victims who fled to Chang'an? ”

"That's Dong Thief's hypocrisy and pretense." Cao Cao said lightly: "Dong Thief has always had the heart of usurpation, and he also knows that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and accepting the victims is just buying people's hearts." It's a pity that the people of Luoyang first saw through his true colors and drove him away from Luoyang. ”

"Yes, it is one reason that the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, but there is a more important reason...... Guo Jia continued: "He has a long-term vision than the lord!" ”

If someone else spoke to Cao Cao like this, Cao Cao would have to be like thunder, but when the words came out of Guo Jia's mouth, Cao Cao had to pay attention to it, "Fengxiao, you can speak as bluntly as you can in front of me, don't worry." ”

Guo Jialang said: "Lord, if there is a big chaos today, the heroes will fight against the Central Plains sooner or later, the princes will have to fight to the death sooner or later, but the war is not only about grain and grass weapons, but also about the population, without enough population base, there will be no suitable soldiers to supplement the army, and no one will cultivate food to feed the army, no matter how clever the lord's strategy is, the generals will be able to fight well, without the population base, the destruction will only be between sooner or later." ”

Cao Cao's face sank suddenly, and even the hand on Wang Kuang's wife stopped swimming, "Fengxiao, please continue." ”

"The lord clearly saw that from the day of the Yellow Turban thief to the time of the thief's annihilation, in the war, the Central Plains population has stopped three times, after the war, the Central Plains land drought and locust plague one after another, and there are princes to fight Dong and Liukou rebellion, famine and war, the Central Plains population went to two stops, the future princes melee, no matter who wins or loses, Yijia judged, after the war, the Central Plains population can be left with three stops, it is a blessing to the sky. At that time, the outcome of the war was no longer determined by the courage of the soldiers, the time and the place, but the size of the population. Guo Jia said a lot in one breath, and finally arched his hand: "The lord clearly sees that the Dong thief has taken the lead, if our army does not catch up, it will be in danger, at present, this Hanoi city has not experienced a major war, there are still 800,000 people, it is the opportunity for our army!" ”

Cao Cao was silent for a long time with a gloomy face, and suddenly jumped up naked, regardless of the cold outside, rushed out the door and grabbed the sergeant who was serving as a guard and shouted, "Chuan Wu's order, immediately stop the massacre of the people of Hanoi, and organize the young men and women of Hanoi to move all the young men and women to stay behind." Fast! The sooner the better! ”

The sergeant hurried away, and Cao Cao shouted behind him, "Order the three armies to collect their troops and set up camp, and tell them that I will reward the three armies with all the money and wealth from the Hanoi treasury!" ”

"Yes!"

Cao Cao looked up to the sky and sighed, Dong Zhuo, you have a long-term view than me!

……

In fact, Yuan Shao had the opportunity to take Hanoi earlier than Cao Cao, when he was in Chang'an, Kang Peng intended to let Yuan Shao's messenger go first, according to Kang Peng's calculations, Yuan Shao should have received the news that the god seed was in the hands of Wang Kuang in early December of the second year of Chuping, and had enough time to organize the army to go south and 'rendezvous' with Cao Cao's army in Hanoi.

But what Kang Peng didn't expect was that Yuan Shao's indecision was far above his estimate, when Tian Feng's news arrived in Yecheng, the judge, Xin Ping and Xu You and others also persuaded Yuan Shao to rob Hanoi City, but after Yuan Shaosi thought about it, he actually used Hanoi to stay away from Yecheng as an excuse, afraid that the light cavalry would go deep alone and be in danger of cutting off backup, so he refused to enter the army and missed the opportunity. However, it shattered Kang Peng's dream in disguise, and it can be regarded as a lost horse.

But when Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and others returned to Yecheng, both of them beat their chests and shouted that it was a pity, Yuan Shao didn't know whether he was moved by the two, or Cao Cao, who heard that he had lost half a pound of meat on his buttocks, actually took Hanoi City first, and even led his troops to take Hanoi despite the dissuasion of the strategists. Although Tian Feng, Xian Pei and others persuaded Yuan Shao that it was too late to move troops now, and fighting with Cao Cao could only cheapen the Dong thief who was watching the fire from the other side, but Yuan Shao did not listen to it, relying on the fourth and third princes of his ancestors, and could not see that his army was already relying on mulberries to satisfy his hunger, leading 80,000 troops, and taking Hanoi directly through Muye.

After Cao Cao discussed with Guo Jia and Cheng Yu, he moved all the young men and women in Hanoi, and took the initiative to withdraw from the Yellow River on the thirteenth day of the first month of the third year of Chuping and returned to Chenliu's hometown. On the eighteenth day of the first month of the third year of Chuping, Yuan Shaojun finally arrived in Hanoi, but at that time, Hanoi City was already an empty city with less than 100,000 old, weak, sick and disabled.

In the devastated and empty city of Hanoi, Yuan Shao waved his horsewhip heavily and shouted: "Cao Apu, dare to do this!" The more Yuan Shao thought about it, the more he was puzzled, "Pass the order down and burn this Hanoi city to me, Cao Ah doesn't want it, and I don't want it!" ”

Tian Feng hurriedly admonished: "Lord, don't be like this, the people of Hanoi are all coerced by Cao Cao, and the walk must be slow, even if you cross the Yellow River, it will not go far, and our army should be able to catch up easily with light cavalry." ”

Feng Ji is Tian Feng's sworn enemy, and when he heard Tian Feng say this, he immediately admonished: "Lord, Cao Cao is treacherous, and when he evacuates, he will set up an ambush on the road. ”

Hearing the word ambush, Yuan Shao immediately remembered the scene when Zhongfu was surrounded by Dong Zhuo's army, and suddenly shuddered, and then Xu You admonished: "Lord, not far from Hanoi is Luoyang, and there are auspicious gods in Luoyang, and there is not much army in Luoyang that can fight well, why not give up the difficulty?" ”

Xin Ping also agreed with Xu You's opinion, "My lord, our army can enter Luoyang, not only to obtain the auspicious divine seed, but also to take advantage of the situation to welcome the Son of Heaven back to Yecheng, and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes to occupy the morality of the world." Moreover, Luoyang has a large population, and our army can relocate some of the people to Yecheng to replenish the population lost in Jizhou in the war. ”

If there was only one strategist who gave Yuan Shao advice, then Yuan Shao might still listen to him, but many strategists had different opinions, and Yuan Shao's scheming problem would occur again. Yuan Shao calculated in his heart that if he welcomed the emperor back to Yecheng, he was afraid that everything would have to be played in the future, and it would be too troublesome, so it would be better to be a prince in Yecheng.

After thinking about it for about an hour or two, Yuan Shao still didn't make a decision, but fortunately, his advisers knew his temper, and no one urged him, but just kept giving him an analysis of the current situation and what the consequences would be if he took that kind of step. Yuan Shao thought for a long time, but still reluctantly said: "Gentlemen, Luoyang is the place where the royal family is located, if our army dares to attack, it will be like a thief, and it will be discussed by the whole world. That's good, today the army will be stationed in Hanoi City, and I will decide on the movement of the army after careful consideration. ”

Xu You, Xin Ping, Tian Feng and others all smiled bitterly, the lord's problem of looking ahead and backward - it really kills people!

Regarding the question of Kang Peng's intelligence department in the previous chapters, Lao Wolf explained, please think about it, if you were Kang Peng, would you hand over the key intelligence department to the most loyal and reliable people? Under Kang Peng, which role is best suited for this position? If you guess, you can understand why the conversation between Zhao Yun and Jia Xu ran into Kang Peng's hands. As for spying on Cai Wenji, since Kang Peng already knew that Princess Anyang's mother and son were abused, could he still be careless?
