Chapter 397: Partition

It was not too late for the gentleman to take revenge for ten years, Guo Jia took the lead, Cao Xing endured this breath, and instead of attacking Yecheng near him, he went north to seize Yuan Shao's city.

Cao Xing went north, then the road he detoured was far, anyway, it was impossible to enter Yecheng again, and the rich land in Yecheng, as well as the sufficient population, would no longer belong to Cao Xing, but Cao Xing, under the guidance of Jia Xu and others, finally walked out of this shadow.

Guo Jia and Cao Cao were busy calculating which piece of land was the most fertile and the most populous in Jizhou, and if they wanted to take it for themselves, they would definitely spend time thinking about it, even if they occupied the best place. Adding up a lot, Cao Xuan chose the second path.

Crazy expansion of the territory in order to make up for the shortcomings of the calculation.

Yuan Shao, who was defeated like a mountain, since he was burned to the black nest, the whole person was like a dog in the house, because the hundreds of thousands of soldiers around him were starving, and finally couldn't help but break out of the camp roar, and the final result of the camp scream was that these soldiers could no longer bear the hunger, and they all escaped from the military camp of Zhao State one after another and ran away by themselves.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao was also desperate, so he could only take his remaining personal soldiers and constantly retreat north, but where was Cao Cao willing to let him go, chasing and fighting all the way. will not let go of Yuan Shao.

Although Cao Cao really wanted to catch Yuan Shao and kill him, it seems that there are still many people who are willing to take Yuan Shao's place, for example, Cao Cao personally led the army to conquer the military camp in front, and then arrested people everywhere, and as a result, he caught a relatively strong character, and that person was Xu You.

When the Wei army pressed Xu You to Cao Cao's camp, Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly went up to untie Xu You personally. And cordially talked with Xu You about family life, when he was a child, Xu You and Cao Cao knew two people, and in the final analysis, they were half small.

However, Cao Cao had something unexpected, he had already put down his body, so easy to say, this Xu You was very different from history, he directly raised his neck and said to Cao Cao.

"King Wei, don't talk about these useless things here, it's just that you want me to surrender, you can't be humiliated, hurry up!"

Cao Cao was a little stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect this Xu You to be so tough, and the reason why Xu You in history would take refuge in Cao Cao. That's because Yuan Shao really forced him to be anxious and no longer trusted him, so he left.

In this life, Yuan Shao did not trust Xu You, but Xu You did not go to Cao Cao, and the reason for this is that Xu You also has many things that he is reluctant to do in Zhao State. Although Yuan Shao said that he was at odds with his monarch and ministers now, he thought that at the beginning, when Yuan Shao was just founded, he also trusted him, so he couldn't bear to abandon Yuan Shao.

Moreover, now that Cao Cao has defeated Yuan Shao, the first credit is not his Xu You, so all kinds of circumstances combine to force Xu You to be unwilling to surrender.

And when Cao Cao saw this, he also sighed helplessly, Xu Youke is a dangerous person, he doesn't surrender, is this in the past? However, looking at Xu You's appearance of not being afraid of death, Cao Cao finally waved his hand, and the two Wei soldiers dragged Xu You out, and in the process, Xu You's face did not change.

Xu You behaved so hardly, Cao Cao never thought that when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was still alive, Xu You in history dared to discuss the rebellion as a white ding, and also ganged up everywhere, so Xu You's courage was also very big.

Xu Yu's death helped Yuan Shao buy a good time to escape, and Yuan Shao hurriedly returned to Wei County with his remnants of the defeated army, and returned to his capital Yecheng.

But at this moment, the thing that made Yuan Shao desperate came again, around Yecheng had long been surrounded by Cao Cao's general, Cao Ren, and the water could not be cleared, and behind Cao Ren, there was a second line of defense Cao Xing, so he Yuan Shao couldn't run away no matter how he ran.

When Cao Ren saw Yuan Shao coming back, he knew that the stakes were very high, and whoever he let go, he must not let go of this mastermind, so he immediately surrounded Yecheng with soldiers and horses.

Cao Cao's speed is also relatively fast, only more than 20 days to arrange, all the things behind, with the army to Yecheng City, and then under Cao Cao's order, with Xiahou Yuan as the general, directly launched a general attack on Yecheng.

Although Yecheng is a big city, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack behind the high walls of the city, there are not many soldiers in it, how can it stop Cao Cao's 100,000 army.

So after holding on for seven days and seven nights, Yuan Shao was completely desperate, walked to the top of the city, and killed himself on the city wall. Cao Cao's army successfully broke through Yecheng.

Looking at Yuan Shao's corpse, Cao Cao also had some emotion in his heart, Yuan Shao was his real hair, but he didn't expect that the two would end up in this way.

Yuan Shaosheng was the king of Zhao, and Cao Cao didn't take too good care of him, so he asked people to bury him hastily, and then he was ready to go to Yecheng to search for a good time, but when Cao Cao walked in, there were some amazing discoveries, except for Yuan Shao, who had a little value in this Yecheng, the others were some shrimp soldiers and crab generals, as for the generals like Yuan Shao's wife Yuan Shao, as well as Yuan Shao's strategists, they had long disappeared at this moment.

This made Cao Cao so angry that he could only wave his hand and ordered Guo Jia to immediately pursue the movements of these people, and Guo Jia also left with his hand.

Yuan Shao knew that he was defeated, he had no face to face the world, and he would eventually die under Cao Cao or Cao Xing's hands, so in the last few days, he also thought about it, dismissed all the people in his family, and stationed in Yecheng alone, but his three sons would not think like Yuan Shao.

Since he was a child, he has been accustomed to the life of a prince with fine clothes and food, how could his three sons be willing to give up, what they put in them is nothing more than the inheritance left by Yuan Shao is money, equipment, and soldiers, as long as these things are in hand, why worry about not being able to stand in this troubled world.

Therefore, Yuan Shao meant that his three sons also completely entered the infighting, and even fought there while walking.

However, the three men soon couldn't fight among themselves, because they fled to the north, and before they could discuss where they should throw themselves, they met Chen Hu's vanguard, and Chen Hu didn't say a word, carrying his Xuanhua axe, and ordered the soldiers to charge.

This time scared Yuan Shao's three sons a lot, and they fled in a hurry.

Chen Hu directly led people to chase after him for three days and three nights, at this moment Yuan Shao's three sons are tantamount to a piece of fat in the eyes of Chen Hu and others, and if they get their heads, they can get rich rewards, so no one wants to lose them.

There was a person in the army in front, his expression was quite hesitant at the moment, he looked at the two brothers around him, and then looked at the pursuers in the rear, and finally gritted his teeth and said, That's it, and then directly led someone to kill back, this person is not someone else, it is Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan.

Perhaps in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, this Yuan Tan does not appear many times, giving people the impression that among the three sons who are not missing, none of them is a fuel-efficient lamp, and they know intrigue day by day, which is far worse than Cao Cao's son and Sun Jian's son.

However, in real history, this Yuan Tan is actually not very bad, he is Yuan Shao's eldest son, including perhaps because of Yuan Shao's own reasons, he doesn't like Yuan Tan who was born too much.

When considering the heir, Yuan Shao wanted to eliminate Yuan Tan intentionally or unintentionally, just because Yuan Shao couldn't help but think of himself, although he was born in the fourth world and the third duke, he was not the eldest son, but in the end he was the eldest son, so he subconsciously thought that his eldest son should be the type that could not be reused.

Yuan Tan also felt Yuan Shao's dissatisfaction with him in the open and secretly, and he gritted his teeth to listen to it for the sake of the throne. is familiar with military books and goes to foreign training, like Qingzhou, Yuan Tan helped Yuan Shao fight, so Yuan Tan still has some ability at least in leading troops.

In this case, Yuan Tan couldn't manage so much, there had to be someone to stop Chen Hu, so he went, but Yuan Tan ignored a problem after all, that is, the two armies were facing each other, and they had to divide one stronger and which was weaker, not to mention that their Zhao army had no confidence at the moment, where did he get the confidence to dare to lead his troops to attack?

Even Yuan Tan and Chen Hu had just taken a face-to-face, Yuan Tan didn't even have time to see the appearance of the other party, Chen Hu shouted, and a flower axe smashed directly on Yuan Tan's head, and Yuan Tan's eyes turned black and he didn't feel anything anymore.

Although Yuan Tan died, his death may have made him a little blind to death, because he won a chance for his two younger brothers, not only a chance to escape, but also a chance to fight for the throne.

Chen Hu rushed out of Jizhou in one breath, but Chen Hu was ambushed by others as soon as he rushed out, and at that moment, Chen Hu's whole body suddenly realized, and then took a closer look, these people's outfits were different from their Central Plains, and this place had reached the border of Karasuma.

Therefore, Chen Hu was unhappy in his heart, after all, he failed to take Yuan Shao's three sons, but he was able to win one, which is already a piece of his merit, and he should be content to be a man, this place is Karasuma's territory, although he carried out several tentative attacks, but it did not have much effect, but he also let himself have some losses, so Chen Hu also judged the opportunity, and immediately retreated to the border of Jizhou, waiting for Cao Xing's arrival.

For two whole months, Cao Xuan finally felt this, if you ask Cao Xing's speed is so slow, it is not because Cao Xuan is dragging mud and water, but because Cao Xing's progress is too fast, and Cao Xing is busy fighting for territory with Cao Cao at that time.

Anyway, in the past two months, both of them have almost divided Yuan Shao's territory, among which Cao Cao occupies a geographical advantage, first occupying Yecheng and annexing the entire Qingzhou. Jizhou also accounts for one-third, but Cao Cao's pace is here, and the remaining two-thirds of Jizhou's territory has been completely mastered by Cao Xing.

Even Cao Cao fought several battles with Cao Xinglian, and finally confirmed that there was really no way to march again, so Cao Cao gave up. The places north of Yecheng basically belong to Cao Xing, but this is only when Cao Cao does not intervene, and it will take some time for Cao Xuan to take all the places in the north of Jizhou.

Therefore, when Cao Xing just arrived here, there were people who couldn't sit still, the first to sit still was Gongsun Du of Youzhou, Gongsun Du of Youzhou occupied a place in eastern Liaodong and established the Yan State.

Gongsun Du first wrote a letter to Cao Xing, expressing his intentions, he said that he was willing to bow down to the Qin State, after all, the Yan State only occupied half of Youzhou, and compared with the current Qin State, it was completely insignificant.

However, Cao Xing looked at this letter, and just smiled and said to his envoy, Yan State can take refuge in Zhao State today, Qin State tomorrow, is it possible to bow down to Wei State in a few days?

When the envoy of Yan Kingdom heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly said to Cao Xingbaishou that he would never do.

After listening to this, Cao Xing nodded quietly, and immediately took out a cute book, which was in front of the envoy of Yan State, and the envoy of Yan State did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent this document to Gongsun Du's hand, but when Gongsun Du saw the content of this document, he angrily scolded and directly tore the document to pieces.

In fact, there is nothing special about this letter, the front is a handwritten letter from Cao Xing, which probably means that since Gongsun Du wants to bow down to him Cao Xing, then Gongsun Du must be aware of being a courtier.

Every year, the contribution to the Qin State is not allowed to be less, otherwise it will be a vain minister, and if you are a vain minister, Gongsun Du will be ready to commit suicide.

Looking at this sentence, Gongsun Du felt uncomfortable in his heart, as for saying that the latter was completely the regulations given by the Qin State, it was quite harsh on Yan Guo, and the whole country completely regarded Yan Guo as his little brother, and he could call it as he wanted.

How could Gongsun Du not be so angry that the roots of his teeth itched, since Cao Xuan humiliated him so much, then he made Cao Xuan look good, so he also dispatched his strength to prepare a surprise attack on Cao Xuan.

What he prepared for Cao Xing was a full 20,000 Liaodong cavalry, and he wanted to take Cao Xing by surprise, but what he didn't expect was that when his generals and soldiers and horses were about to raid Cao Xing, but before they got close to Cao Xing, a dense rain of swords shot over, directly killing most of the cavalry that he had built up with great difficulty.

The cavalry finally dodged these arrows, and saw that they were only a hundred paces away from the cavalry, and were about to kill these cavalrymen, but the sound of registration sounded in the ears of these cavalrymen, and bullets after bullets entered their bodies.

The Liaodong cavalry fell in a pool of blood one by one, whether it was in the face of arrows or firearms, they had no power to fight back at all, and when they heard this battle report, Gongsun Du was completely dumbfounded.

On the army is strength, he can't compare to Qin State at all, and it can even be said that in the face of Qin State, he has no power to fight back.
