Cao Cao agreed with Tian Chou's opinion, so he led the army back, erected a big log beside the waterside road, and wrote: "It is a hot summer, and the road is impassable, so let's wait until autumn and winter to march again." ”

When the Wuhuan cavalry sentry saw it, he thought that Cao's army had really retreated, and he didn't make much preparations, and the Wuhuan people didn't expect Cao Cao to come out of Lulongsai.

Under Tian Chou's lead, Cao Cao led the army to ride lightly and began a military adventure. They climbed over the Xu Wu Mountain, crossed the border through Lulongsai and entered the upper valley of the Luanhe River, marched more than 500 miles in this difficult area, turned east in Pinggang, crossed the Xianbei pastureland, and entered the mountains on the border of the Eastern Han Dynasty again.

At this time, Cao Cao's army had outflanked the defensive camp of Badun and was advancing in a straight line in the direction of the sea, about to divide the enemy's territory in two. But even when you get to Pinggang, there is still a distance of more than 100 kilometers from Liucheng.

Cao's army has been marching rapidly to the vicinity of White Wolf Mountain, which is less than 200 miles away from Liucheng, Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi and Bandun Shan Yu, Liaoxi Shan Yu Louban, and Youbei Pingshan Yu Nengchen hurriedly gathered tens of thousands of horsemen to meet the enemy in the west.

The two armies met at White Wolf Mountain, and it was an encounter and a decisive battle. If Cao Cao is defeated, then Cao's army will inevitably be annihilated in Liaoxi, because they have no way to retreat. If Wuhuan is defeated, then Liucheng is bound to be lost.

Wu Huan had the advantage of being at ease, and almost all of them were cavalry, but they were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of Cao's army. And like other nomads, they are strong in individual soldiers, but weak in overall combat.

Cao Cao's advantage was that he was unexpected, and his subordinates were all cavalry generals like Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Xiahou Yuan, Zhang He, Zhang Xiu, Shi Lian, Xian Yufu, Yan Rou, and Cao Chun, as well as elite cavalry and tiger and leopard cavalry who survived a hundred battles.

Cao Cao had already prepared for a large-scale cavalry battle, but after more than ten days of mountain roads and rapid marches, Cao's cavalry had greatly reduced their physical strength. Moreover, the heavy main infantry of the Cao army was behind, and in the face of the Wuhuan army, which was more numerous than their own, many Cao army officers and soldiers were also frightened and frightened, hoping to wait for the follow-up troops.

In a tense atmosphere, Zhang Liao persuaded Cao Cao: "Today, our army and Wuhuan meet on a narrow road, and the only way to fight is to fight bravely!" ”

Zhang Liao stood by the sword at this time, Cao Cao saw Zhang Liao swallowing mountains and rivers, brave and fearless, and marveled at Zhang Liao's majesty. Cao Cao climbed the White Wolf Mountain again to observe the enemy formation, and saw that the Wuhuan army was in an unorganized formation and the formation was loose.

Cao Cao gave Zhang Liao the banner used to command the people, and ordered Zhang Liao to command the vanguard cavalry to charge straight to the enemy formation, and the elite cavalry of Cao's army rushed down from the mountain and fought a bloody battle with the Wuhuan cavalry at the foot of the White Wolf Mountain.

Lu Bu, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Shi Lian, Xian Yufu, Yan Rou, Cao Chun and other generals each led the cavalry to fight bravely, and the chaos of tens of thousands of cavalry can be imagined. Wu Huan was already panicked, and when he saw that Cao Jun was so brave, his formation began to collapse.

Especially Lu Bu, Lu Bu was the first in the cavalry battle, how could he be preempted by Zhang Liao? Where Lu Bu swept a Fang Tian painting halberd, only the corpses of the Wuhuan cavalry were left behind.

In the melee, Badun just killed several cavalry of the Cao army and met a cavalryman with a halberd. This person is Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao rushed too violently, and he rushed straight in front of Badun.

Badun and Zhang Liao fought fifteen times, but in the end they were no match for Zhang Liao, and they were beheaded by Zhang Liao. Lu Bu had just beheaded several generals under the command of Lu Dun, and came to look for him, but when he saw that Zhang Liao had already killed him, Lu Bu smiled at the corner of his mouth, and smiled at Zhang Liao: "Wen Yuan, you have become stronger!" ”

"Wen Hou, I'm sorry, Zhang Liao took the lead." Zhang Liao cut off the head of the head and said.

Lu Bu raised Fang Tian's halberd and smiled: "It's okay. Wen Yuan, you and I will compete to see who can kill more enemies! ”

"Good!" Zhang Liao rode his horse and led the head of the Gang Dun to kill in a burst, and the Wuhuan cavalry all retreated in fear.

Yu Nengchen was still in shock, and a peerless fierce general holding Fang Tian's halberd rushed to the front of the battle, and his personal guards and generals couldn't stop Lu Bu.

Lu Bu violently stabbed to death one Wuhuan soldier after another with his halberd, and instigated the Xiliang war horse to sit down and rushed to Nengchen's horse, but Nengchen didn't have time to react, and was stabbed under the horse by Lu Bu's halberd.

The tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Chun also broke out with amazing combat power, and they wanted to use their strength to prove the status of the tiger and leopard cavalry in the world. Thousands of tigers and leopards rode directly into the core of the Wuhuan cavalry under the leadership of Cao Chun, and the people on horseback were actually defeated from the front by this Central Plains cavalry.

The Cao army captured and beheaded more than ten Fanwang of the Wuhuan tribes, and the Wuhuan army was finally slaughtered, and the main cavalry of the Wuhuan of the three counties began to collapse in this decisive battle.

Liaodong Shan Yu Sufumaru and Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi defected to Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Du, and the generals persuaded Cao Cao to pursue. Cao Cao was afraid of Gongsun Du's strength, and the army had just experienced a long journey and a big battle, and he could no longer fight Gongsun Du, so he retreated and went back.

White dew, red leaves, golden wind, and wild geese, the picturesque scenery has become insignificant in the eyes of Cao Cao, who has just achieved an unprecedented victory. He did not stop here, but rode his horse from Liucheng to the seashore.

Facing the rough and endless sea, Cao Cao wrote the majestic "Watching the Sea". The ambitious Cao Cao did not feel pity for Wuhuan's surrender, and then he moved the surrenderers of Wuhuan in the three counties and the more than 10,000 Wuhuan in Jizhou under the command of Yan Rou, the captain of Wuhuan, to the interior. Many years later, these Wuhuan people were gradually assimilated by the Han Chinese.

Cao Cao went to Yi County to visit Guo Jia and asked if he should take advantage of the victory to pacify Liaodong, Guo Jia said with illness: "Gongsun Du will die soon, and his son will not dare to offend the lord when he succeeds to the throne." And a good life to appease Gongsun Du, once Gongsun Du dies, the two brothers Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi will die. ”

In order to appease Gongsun Du, Cao Cao recruited Gongsun Du as the general of Wuwei and named the Marquis of Yongning, Gongsun Du said: "My king Liaodong, He Yongning also?" ”

Gongsun Du hid the seal ribbon in the arsenal, built a temple for his two ancestors of the Han Dynasty, set up an altar in the south of Xiangping City according to the ancient system, and worshiped heaven and earth in the suburbs. When traveling, he sat in a luan car that only the emperor could sit on, with nine jade strings hanging from his hat, and the cavalry wearing a hat was the Yulin army.

Guan Cheng and Hu Wei subdued almost all the pirates on the southeast coast, with more than 10,000 people. Han Xuan also sent Han Dang, Kan Ze and others to attract more than 10,000 people, including talents from all walks of life, to go to Xu County with Guan Cheng Hu Wei to develop the land of Sanhan as soon as possible.

The fleet sailed to the Korean Peninsula and finally arrived at Xu County a month later, and Xu Rong led the officials and people of Xu County to greet them. Kan Ze conveyed Han Xuan's latest instructions to Xu Rong, and Xu Rong was naturally very happy to see that Han Xuan was going to join forces with Chen Han to annex Benhan.

After Yan Jian and Kan Ze arranged the talents sent from Jiangdong, Xu Rong sent a letter to Shuchen Han Wang Weihe, stating his intention to join forces with him. Xu Rong said in the letter that they and the Chenhan people are all Chinese people, and they are connected by blood, so they naturally have to unite.

Xu Rong also said that he wanted to help them fight against the Wa State, and what Chen Han wanted to do was to be a vassal to the Han Dynasty, which was better than being a dog for the Wa State. King Weihe of Chenhan convened a large group of civil and military affairs to discuss, and finally decided to break away from the control of the Japanese state and throw himself into the arms of the Han Dynasty.

The grain and grass transported from Jiangdong and the grain and grass collected from all over Xu County were enough for Xu Rong to launch another large-scale campaign to destroy the country. Therefore, when King Chenhan sent the general Li Zhun to lead the army to rendezvous, Xu Rong had already sent Zhou Tai and Han Dang to lead the army to capture several tribes in the north of Benhan.

Zhou Tai led a mixed cavalry composed of Ma Han and Han Chinese to attack quickly, and caught these Benhan people off guard. Han Dang led the light cavalry and infantry on his heels, and the two of them plunged into the hinterland of Benhan like lightning.

This method of warfare is called blitzkrieg, and most people believe that this method of warfare was invented by the German commander Guderian during World War II. In fact, as early as the end of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu had already invented this method of warfare. Blitzkrieg has the advantage of attacking the head of the enemy with mobile troops, which has the advantage of speed, but it also has the disadvantage, that is, the logistics are difficult to keep up.

However, Han Xuanjun did not have to worry about this problem, in addition to the dry food for the march, there were also pirate troops led by Guan Cheng and Hu Wei in the coastal area of Benhan to plunder the supplies of Benhan to supply Han Xuanjun. So Chen Han's general Li Zhun came, and there was almost nothing to do, just follow Xu Rong to pick up the leaks and occupy the territory.

By the time Benhan reacted, most of the northern part of the country had fallen into the hands of Xu Rong and Chenhan. On the one hand, Benhan Wangyu Yiluo asked for help from the Japanese state, and on the other hand, he sent a large army north to intercept Xu Rong's army, and Benhan faced the disaster of destroying the country.
