In the autumn and July of the fourth year of Jian'an, the prince Liu Feng was established as the king of Nanyang. Ren Wu, Liu Fengxu.

Runan, Yellow Turbans, Liu Pi and others rebelled against Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao sent Liu Bei's generals to help Liu Pi. Counties respond to them more. Yuan Shao sent Li Tong, the commander of Baiyang Andu, as the general of the expedition to the south. Liu Biao also recruited him behind his back, but Li Tongdu rejected them. Someone persuaded Li Tong to follow Yuan Shao, and Li Tong pressed his sword and drank him and said: Cao Gong is a philosopher, and he must be in the world. Although Yuan Shao is strong, he will eventually be captured by it. I don't think I have two hearts in death. Then beheaded Yuan Shao's envoy. Bring the ribbon to see Cao Cao. Li Tong urgently recorded the household survey. Zhao Yan, the chief of Langling, went to see Li Tong and said: Fangjin Zhujun rebelled, and only Yang'an was subdued, but he was eager to collect his silk silk. The villain is happy, is it not okay to do this?

Li Tong said: Cao Gong and Yuan Shao were very anxious, and the counties and counties betrayed in unison, if the silk was not transferred, the people who watched and listened would definitely think that I was waiting and waiting.

Zhao Yan said: Things are indeed as you feared, but they should also be weighted and requisitioned. I should relieve this trouble. So he wrote a letter to Xun Yu and said: The people of Yang'an County are poor and rebel against the city. Easy to tilt. This is a major matter related to the safety of one party, and besides, the people of this county are loyal to the festival, and no matter how dangerous it is, they have no second thoughts. The minister thinks that the country should be appeased, and if he is in such a hurry to collect silk silk, how can he persuade him to be good in the future? Xun Yu immediately reported to Cao Cao and returned all the silk silks to the people. So the whole body rejoiced, and the county was at peace. Li Tong attacked the group of thieves, Zhai Gong and others, and they all broke it. Then the land of Huairu was determined. At that time, Cao Cao formulated a new section and promulgated states and counties, and the usage was quite severe. He Kui, who was too guarded by Changguang and told Cao Cao: The first king distinguished the endowment of nine suits to show the difference between distance and proximity. The punishment of the three codes was formulated to calm down the chaos. It is foolish to think that this county should be based on the code of the new state in the distant region, and its small things among the people should be temporarily adjusted by the chiefs, and the upper level should not go against the law, and the lower should conform to the hearts of the people, and I believe that within three years, the people will be in peace. At this time, we can only use the Fa-rectification to seek treatment. Cao Cao followed his plan.

Liu Beiluo and Ru Ying, since the south of Xu, the people are uneasy. Cao Cao thought it was a problem. Cao Ren said: The southern Israeli generals have the current urgency, and they cannot be rescued. Liu Bei came with strong troops again, so it was only right for them to betray. Liu Bei's new general, Yuan Shao's troops, failed to be used. If you attack him, you will be able to break it.

Cao Cao then ordered Cao Ren to attack Liu Bei with cavalry, and sure enough, he broke it away. Recover all the rebel counties and return.

Liu Bei also went to Yuan Shao's army and wanted to leave Yuan Shao behind his back. So he persuaded Yuan Shaonan to Xiang Lian and Liu Biao. Yuan Shao sent Liu Bei to return his troops to Runan. and the thief Marshal Gong Du and others. Thousands of people. Cao Cao sent Cai Yang to attack and was killed by Liu Bei.

Yuan Shaotun's army was Yangwu, and he said to Yuan Shao: Although the northern soldiers are numerous, they are not as strong as the southern soldiers. The southern army has few valleys, and its reserves are not as good as those of the northern army. The south is fortunate in the rapid battle, while the north is in the slow division. It should be slow and long-lasting, and it should last for the sun and the moon. Yuan Shao did not follow.

In August, Yuan Shao entered the camp a little earlier, and took the sand as a tun. Dozens of miles from east to west. Cao Cao also divided his camp to the counterpart.

In September, there is a solar eclipse. Cao Cao sent troops to fight Yuan Shao and was unsuccessful. Restore the fortified walls of the army. Yuan Shao built a high platform, raised the earth mountain, and shot arrows at Cao's camp, and the camp was covered with shields. Cao Cao then made a thunderbolt and sent stones to hit Yuan Shao, and Yuan's camp and enemy buildings were all broken. Yuan Shaofu dug a tunnel to attack Cao Cao, and Cao Cao dug a long trench in the camp to block him. Cao Cao's people ran out of food, and the soldiers were exhausted. The people were trapped in the levy, and many of them rebelled against Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao suffered. and Xun Yushu, discuss the desire to return the promise to lead Yuan Shao's teacher. Xun Yu also wrote and said: Yuan Shao gathered all his troops to gather in Guandu, wanting to win or lose with the lord. The lord is even weak, and if he can't control it, he will be multiplied. This is the world's greatest opportunity. Besides, Yuan Shao is just a man of cloth, who can gather people but can't use people, with the god of Ming Gong Wu Mingzhe, supplemented by Dashun, why not? Although there is little grain food today, it is not like the situation between Chu and Han in Xingyang and Chenggao back then, when Liu Xiang was willing to retreat first, thinking that the situation would be unfavorable to him if he retreated first. Ming Gong used one-tenth of the opponent's troops to divide the land and defend it, holding his throat and not entering, and now it has been half a year. Seeing that the situation is exhausted, there will be changes. This is the right time to use wonder, and you can't miss it. Cao Cao followed. So the wall was self-contained. Cao Cao saw the officers and soldiers transporting grain and grass, and reassured them, saying: In the next fifteen days, I will break through Yuan Shao for you, and I will no longer make you work so hard.

Yuan Shao transported thousands of grain carts to Guandu, Xun You said to Cao Cao: Yuan Shao's grain cart is approaching, and its generals are fierce, sharp and light enemy, and the attack can be broken. Cao Cao said: Who can be used to fight? Xun You said: Xu Huang can. So he sent the generals Hedong Xu Huang and Shi Lian to invite Han Meng to attack. Break it and burn its baggage.

In the winter of October, Yuan Shao sent a car to transport the valley, so that he would escort more than 10,000 soldiers such as Chun Yuqiong. Stayed in the north of Yuan Shaoying, forty miles. He said that Yuan Shao could send Jiang Qi's generals to the rear as backup, so as to eliminate Cao Cao's money. Yuan Shao did not follow. Xu You said: Cao Cao has few soldiers, and the crowd rejects me, and promises to defend the remainder, which is bound to be empty. If a light army is dispatched and the stars cover the attack, Xu can pull it out. Xu Duba, you can welcome the Son of Heaven to please Cao Cao. In this way, Cao Cao can be captured. If he had not been defeated, he would have been defeated, and he would have been defeated. 、

Yuan Shao did not follow. said: I want to take Cao Cao first. will allow the family to break the law, and the trial will be accepted. Xu Yu was angry and ran to Cao Cao. When Cao Cao heard that Xu Yu was coming, he stepped out to greet him. stroked his palms and laughed and said: Ziqing (Xu Youzi) came from afar, and my matter was successful. After sitting down, Xu You said to Cao Cao: Yuan Junsheng, how will you treat him? How much food is there today?

Cao Cao said: It can still be supported for one year. Xu You said: There are not so many, let's talk about it. Cao Cao said again: It can support half a year old.

Xu You said: Don't you want to break the Yuan family? Why not tell the truth?

Cao Cao said: At first, it was a joke, but in fact, it can only last for a month. What does the gentleman think he should do?

Xu You said: Ming Gong is alone, there is no rescue, and the grain is exhausted, this is a time of crisis. Yuan's baggage weighs more than 10,000 times, in the old city of Wuchao. The garrison was not well prepared. If you attack with light troops, you will come unexpectedly. Burn its accumulation, but in three days, the Yuan clan will defeat itself.

Cao Cao was overjoyed, so he left Cao Hong and Xun Yu to guard the camp. Since the general rode 5,000 people, all with the banner of the Yuan army. Tie the horse's mouth, take advantage of the night to come out of the room, and each person holds a bunch. Wherever he passed, he told them that Yuan Gong was afraid that Cao Cao would take advantage of the rear army, so he sent troops to strengthen his guard. Those who heard this believed it. When they surrounded the camp, they set fire to it, and the camp was in turmoil. Huiming, Chun Yuqiong and others saw that Cao Cao had few soldiers, and sent troops to Chen outside the door. Cao Cao struck it sharply, and Chun Yuqiong surrendered the camp. Cao Cao then attacked. Yuan Shao heard that Cao Cao was attacking Chun Yu Qiong, and said to his son Yuan Tan: Even if Cao Cao breaks Chun Yu Qiong and I pull out his camp, he will also have no place to return. So he asked him to attack Cao Cao's camp with Gao Lan, Zhang He and others. Zhang He said: When Cao Gong's elite soldiers go, they will break Chun Yuqiong and others, and Chun Yuqiong and others will be broken, and the general trend will be gone. Please go and save them first. Guo Tugu asked to attack Cao Cao's military camp. Zhang He said: Cao Gong's camp is solid, and he will not pull it out. If Chun Yuqiong and the others are captured, we will be taken prisoner. Yuan Shao sent light cavalry to rescue Chun Yuqiong, and attacked Cao Cao's military camp with heavy troops, but he couldn't get down. Yuan Shao's cavalry went to Wuchao, and some people on the left and right said that the thief cavalry was a little closer, and asked to divide the troops to refuse, Cao Cao was angry and said: Why wait until the enemy army arrives behind you to report? The soldiers all fought to the death, and then broke Yuan's army and beheaded Yu Qiong and others. Burn all his grain. More than 1,000 soldiers were captured, their noses were cut, and all the cattle and horses they plundered were cut off their lips and tongues, and then they were shown to Yuan Shaojun, who was afraid of the generals and soldiers.

Guo Tu felt guilty because of his mistakes, did not repent, and ruined Zhang He in front of Yuan Shao, saying: Zhang He was very happy when he saw the defeat at the front line. Zhang He was frightened when he heard this, so he and Gao Ran burned the attack tools, and Cao Cao's military camp surrendered. Cao Hong was suspicious and couldn't bear it. Xun You said: Zhang He's plan is not needed, he is running in anger, what is the general's doubt? So he opened his camp and surrendered. Yuan Shaojun was shocked and routed when he heard the news. Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan rode horses, crossed the river with 800 horsemen and fled, but Cao Cao couldn't catch up. Collect all his heavy books and treasures, and the rest of the people surrendered, Cao Cao killed them all, and killed more than 70,000 people before and after.

Fu Zhu didn't have time to follow Yuan Shao to escape, and was captured by Cao Cao's army, so he shouted: Fu Zhu refused to surrender, because they were obsessed. Cao Cao had an old relationship with him, and he greeted him and said: If the division is different, the fate will be different. I didn't expect to be captured by me today.

Frustrated and said: Jizhou made a mistake and took it to the north. Frustrated and intellectually impregnated, he should be captured.

Cao Cao said: There was no plan at the beginning, and there was no plan. Now that the funeral is undecided, he is plotting with his husband.

Frustrated and said: Uncle and brother are hanging on the Yuan family, if they are martyred, they will die quickly. Cao Cao sighed and said: If the lonely family can get Mr. early, the world is no longer worried. Then he was pardoned and met with kindness. Soon after, he was frustrated and plotted to return to the Yuan family, so Cao Cao killed him. Cao Cao collected Yuan Shao's letters, and obtained many letters from them and the people in the army who communicated with Yuan Shao, all of which were collected and burned, and said: When Yuan Shao was strong, the lonely family could not protect itself, let alone everyone?

Most of the cities of Jizhou were surrendered to Cao Cao.
