Yuan Shao died, born in the famous family of the fourth and third dukes, the leader of the alliance of the Dong coalition army, the great princes who unified Hebei, and the great hero of the world, Yuan Shao, in the end, he was still unable to defeat Cao Cao, and died under the gun of Zhao Yun in the decisive battle between Cao and Yuan.

Cao's army won a complete victory, 60,000 Yuan troops, about 20,000 killed and fled, and the remaining 40,000 soldiers all surrendered to Cao Cao.

And the loss paid by Cao Jun was less than 6,000 people.

After the defeat of the Yuan army in the Battle of Muye, the Yuan forces were like defenseless girls in front of the Cao army, and they were left to the king. Cao Cao took advantage of the situation to lead his army to conquer Yecheng, and took Yecheng as the base point to take the cities in the north one after another.

Yuan Shao's sons all fled to Gongsun Du in Liaodong, and since then, Yuan's power has completely disappeared in the north and ceased to exist.

Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and other Yuan advisers were all captured by Cao Cao, except for a few people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, everyone else resolutely refused to surrender. Although Cao Cao tried every means to persuade them, they remained unmoved and only wanted to die. Cao Cao had no choice but to behead him and order a thick burial.

The demise of Yuan Shao and his forces set off huge waves in other parts of the Han Dynasty, and everyone was shocked and even terrified by this result.

Cao Cao, although it is said that he has made great achievements over the years, fought against the Yellow Turban, fought against Dong Zhuo, Valu Bu, and destroyed Yuan Shu, showing his strong strength to the world. However, Yuan Shao, as the hero of the north, is far from being comparable to Cao Cao in terms of the depth of his heritage. Before the battle of Guandu, no one was optimistic that Cao Cao would win, and many people thought that as long as Yuan Shao used a slight force, he could crush Cao Cao to the point that there were no bones left, so that Sun Jian, who was far away in Jiangdong, could not resist his ambition and went north to attack Xu.

However, Cao Cao finally won in Guandu, and he won so beautifully, which was beyond everyone's expectations, and it would definitely make their jaws drop in surprise.

But Rao is like this, at most, people put Cao Cao on the level that he can compete with Yuan Shao, and no one will believe Cao Cao's destruction of Yuan, and they all regard it as a fantasy and a boring joke.

A hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, this is the truth that everyone believes. Although Yuan Shaoguandu was defeated, he only lost a battle after all, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, who can ensure that he can win a hundred battles?

Hebei is vast and the people are rich, a defeat can not shake the foundation of the Yuan family, even if Yuan Shao can't help Cao Cao, Cao Cao can't deal with Yuan Shao, this is the view of many "wise and resourceful people" in the world after the end of the battle of Guandu.

Then Yuan Shao was defeated in Cangting later, which made those who claimed to be wise men faintly feel that something was wrong, and now that the Yuan clan was completely destroyed, it was undoubtedly an obvious slap in the face for them.

They may not have figured it out until now, how can such a powerful Yuan Shao say that he will die when he dies?

And people can't help but have a fear of Cao Cao. His enemies should take a fresh look at Cao Cao's strength.

Originally, Cao Cao was not to be underestimated, but now that he has unified the entire north, how strong will his strength be!

Sili, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao's jurisdiction has reached eight of them, and the territory is wide, accounting for half of the entire Han Dynasty!

Ma Teng, Liu Biao, and Sun Jian were all worried, and now Cao Cao's strength was strong enough for them to look up to. According to preliminary estimates, Cao Cao's total strength at this moment was between 280,000 and 300,000.

This means that after Cao Cao left a part of his guardians, he could still easily take out an army of more than 200,000 to conquer.

And the other princes, full of calculations, can come up with 100,000 troops is already very remarkable.

There is no doubt that now Cao Cao has become the most powerful and eye-catching focus of the entire Han Dynasty.

————————————————————————————————

Yuan Shao's unauthorized claim to be a public is an arrogance, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a rebel to put it seriously. Cao Cao's crusade against Yuan Shao was in the name of righteousness, and even so, after returning from a complete victory, it was natural to give a reward.

Cao Cao appealed to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and requested the abolition of the three-metric system and the reinstatement of the positions of prime minister and imperial historian, which caused a shock in the court.

The positions of prime minister and imperial historian have existed since ancient times. When Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, the three-metric system was abolished, and the imperial doctor was changed to the great Sikong, which was to take the prime minister, the great Sima, and the great Sikong as the three dukes. When Emperor Han mourned, he changed the prime minister to Da Situ. At the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was changed to Situ again, Da Sikong was changed to Sikong, and Da Sima was changed to Taiwei, which was to Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong as the three dukes. Among the three dukes, Taiwei is the most respectful.

And now, Cao Cao's request to abolish the three-metric system and restore the prime minister and the imperial historian is naturally like throwing a big stone into the calm lake, causing a lot of waves.

However, Cao Cao had just defeated Yuan Shao, and it was when he was in the limelight, even if someone dared to oppose his suggestion, it would be useless.

Cao Cao didn't even bother with those who opposed it, just ignore it.

In this way, the Han Emperor passed Cao Cao's suggestion, abolished the three dukes, restored the position of prime minister, imperial historian, and added Cao Cao as prime minister.

At the same time, the Han Emperor also issued an edict to let Cao Cao concurrently serve as a general.

Prime Minister and General, no academic and military positions, Cao Cao is a very popular minister.

Now that Cao Cao's own promotion has come to an end, the next step is to discuss the issue of rewarding his subordinates.

Cao Ren, who died in battle because of defending Xuchang, was posthumously named the general of Weinan, and was named the Marquis of Gang, and Guan Yu was awarded the general of Weibei, Gao Shun, Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, and Zhao Yun were appointed as generals of Pingdong, Pingxi, Pingnan, and Pingbei, and Huang Zhong, Xu Huang and others also worshiped the marquis.

Such a reward is really beyond everyone's expectations.

In addition to Cao Ren, who died in battle, Guan Yu was the head of the generals in Cao Ying, which really puzzled many people.

Yes, Guan Yu saved Cao Cao's life in Guandu, but this doesn't seem to be enough to make him the first credit.

The rest of the brothers, such as Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, and Xiahou, who have not made great achievements?

Cao Cao invited Guan Yu to banquets every once in a while on weekdays and gave him property, but now he is in a high position. In the eyes of others, Cao Cao's favor for Guan Yu is really extraordinary.

But only Cao Cao himself knows that Guan Yu's heart has always been towards Liu Bei, and he has never really surrendered to himself for a moment.

No matter how much he treats Guan Yu, the other party has never changed his insistence. Guan Yu is still serving in his own battalion, but because he has not received the slightest news about Liu Bei so far. But Cao Cao believed that as long as Liu Bei's whereabouts were available, Guan Yu would immediately abandon him.

However, Cao Cao will not give up, if his preferential treatment cannot cause Guan Yu to be tempted, then he will try to impress the other party with further generous rewards.
