At the same time, Han Yi also heard the news, and couldn't help but be stunned, and asked, "Isn't Fengxian under Yuan Shu's command?" When did you arrive in Yanzhou, and you still mixed with Zhang Miao and Chen Gong? ”

Yang Liyu, who had just returned to the army, said: "I heard that after my army retreated, Yuan Shu blamed Lu Bu for failing to help him stop our army, and Lu Bu said that he was ordered to defend Shouchun City. So the two fell out because of this, Yuan Shu recaptured Lu Bu's army, and Lu Bu went to Jizhou. Lü Bu once helped Yuan Shao defeat the Black Mountain thieves, and in the Battle of Changshan, Yuan Shao's army was defeated, and Lü Bu alone won, so Lü Bu underestimated Yuan's generals. All the generals expressed their dissatisfaction in front of Yuan Shao, and Lu Bu was jealous of Yuan Shao, so he had to die again and merge with the state. ”

Although Zhang Yang, the assassin of Bingzhou, took in Lu Bu, he was afraid that the lord would blame him, and Lu Bu had been incognito in Bingzhou, and he was very aggrieved, so he abandoned Bingzhou and prepared to go south to Jiangdong to join Yuan Shu again, but he met Zhang Miao in Yanjin. When Lu Bu went north to vote for Yuan Shao, he made an oath with Zhang Miao in Chenliu. But Zhang Miao had lost Chen Liuke to live in Dongjun at this time, so he and Lu Bu sympathized with each other. ”

At the beginning of this year, Cao Cao killed Chen Liu's famous scholar Bian Rang, and even punished his whole family, which made Yanzhou Shihao extremely resentful. The Dongjun garrison Chen Gong was extremely dissatisfied with Cao Cao, so he conspired with Zhang Miao, Zhang Miao's brother Zhang Chao, Zhonglang Xu Yan and Wang Kai and others to rebel and welcome Lü Bu as the pastor of Yanzhou. Under the persuasion of Chen Gong and others, all the prefectures of Yanzhou rebelled against Cao Cao and welcomed Lu Bu as the lord of Yanzhou. His subordinates were able to save Qiu Jiyu, thanks to Lu Bu's help in seizing Yanzhou. ”

Han Yi hurriedly asked, "How is my brother Rui?" ”

Yang Li said: "Qiu Jiyu has been imprisoned for several months, and his body is fine, but his expression is a little weak. It will be raised for half a month, and it will be fine. His subordinates left him in Suiyang to recuperate. ”

Han Yi nodded, Yanzhou will go to Cao Cao, and Lu Bu is here again, it seems that Yanzhou's affairs are not easy. Yang Li said suddenly: "Why don't the lord let Cao Cao go, let Cao Lu and the two fight in Yanzhou, and the lord will take the profits of the fishermen again." ”

Han Yi shook his head and said, "If you fight a snake, you won't die, but you will be bitten by a snake." To deal with a person with great ambitions like Cao Cao, it needs to be extinguished in one go, and he must not be allowed to have a chance to breathe. ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Han Yi led his troops out of battle, making people shout from all sides that Yanzhou had been lost, and the land of Yanzhou had been completely returned to Lu Bu. Cao Junjun's heart was in turmoil, and Cao Cao deceived each other, which barely stopped the chaos. The two armies fought again, and Cao's army was defeated again.

Cao Cao wanted to flee to Mount Tai Liangfu, but was shocked to learn that Liangfu City had been attacked by Han Yi's general Che Jing in advance. wanted to flee westward into Lu, but there were 25,000 troops led by Che La and Zhou Geshu to intercept Lu City. Cao Cao retreated to Bian Di and did not come out of the conflict, and then sent Manchu to surrender, willing to be a vassal of Han Yi. Han Yiying gathered 100,000 people, surrounded them on all sides, and made the elite rush to attack Cao's camp, and soon after, Cao's army was defeated.

Cao Cao was cornered, and shouted angrily under great hatred: "Han Mingyuan, you are so ruthless? Are you really going to force me to have no way out? Well, I will do what you wish. After that, he wanted to kill himself with his sword, but was stopped by Cao Hong and Dian Wei.

The generals led the troops to break through the siege by different roads, Cao Hong wore Cao Cao's clothes and armor, led the troops to break through to the east, and shouted all the way "Cao Cao is here." "A company broke through the Xuzhou soldiers several formations. In the place that stood out for several miles, he was finally shot by Yu Hua, who rushed to hear the news.

Cao Cao himself, under the protection of more than a dozen people such as Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Dian Wei, fled northeast into the Mengshan Mountains. When the Han army and Xuzhou soldiers surrounded and suppressed the Qingzhou soldiers, they fled to Liangfu Mountain, fled to Jizhou through Qingzhou Qi and Jinan, and defected to Yuan Shao.

In the battle, Han Yijun captured Cao Jiangban, Liu Ruo, Lü Qian, Man Chong, Mao Jue, Zhao Rong, Lu Zhao, Feng Kai, Niu Gai, Deng Zhan, Lü Chang, Gao Qian, Dong Heng, Dong Chao, Wang Yan, Xu Xi, Mao Hui, Lü Jian, Xu Shang, Wang Tu, Jia Xin, Cheng He, Dongligon and other 23 generals of the Cao army, captured 30,000 Qingzhou soldiers, and killed more than ten generals such as Cao Hong.

The Xuzhou soldiers killed more than 30 generals such as Le Jin, Cao Chun, Shi Lian, Li Gan, Cai Yang, Ding Fei, Wang Lang, and Liu Dai. 20,000 prisoners were taken alive. Coupled with the 20,000 soldiers who died in battle, and Xi Zhicai, who committed suicide, Cao Cao's invasion of Xu was wiped out.

However, Han Yi's 80,000 troops also suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and nearly 40,000 Xuzhou soldiers also suffered more than 10,000 casualties. The Xuzhou soldiers were furious, killed all the 20,000 soldiers who were captured alive, and rushed to the prisoner of war camp of Han Yijun.

Han Yi hurriedly came forward to persuade the Xuzhou soldiers to stop the massacre, and ordered Yu Hua and other generals to lead an army of 30,000 to escort the 30,000 soldiers back to Peiguo, and asked the Xuzhou soldiers to temporarily return to Tancheng. Then he ordered Che Jing, who was guarding Liangfu City, to attack Taishan County, Tai Shi Ci to attack Jibei County, Zhou Ge to attack Shanyang County, and Li Tong to attack Ren Chengguo. He led 20,000 troops into Dongping.

When Dongping heard of Cao Cao's defeat, and the generals of the Cao army who surrendered advised him all the way, the officials who were already panicked and shaken returned to Han Yi. Even if there are loyal and righteous people, but there are no soldiers in their hands, they can only stop the car with a mantis arm, and they will be destroyed with one blow, and Han Yi's army will reach the outside of Fan County, Dongjun.

Fan County ordered Jin Yun to abandon his family and suspect that Cao Cao had killed Lu Bu's general, but he heard the news that Cao Cao was defeated and Han Yi personally led the army. Suddenly, his heart was like ashes, and he committed suicide. Han Yi then took Fan County.

At this time, Lu Bu occupied the entire county of Jiyin County except Zhencheng, Shanyang captured half of it, but Dongjun only took the land of Puyang, Baima, and Yanshan counties. The eight counties north of the Yellow River have not yet been captured, and Dong'e south of the Yellow River is also in the hands of Cao Cao's subordinates Cheng Yu and Zaoji. Coupled with Zhencheng's Xun Yu and Xiahou Dun's subordinates, Han Yi found that if he was released to Cao Cao, Lu Bu would definitely not be his opponent.

Facing Lu Bu, who had led his troops to be stationed in Puyang, but sent a general to guard Jiyin County, Han Yi smiled and was speechless. What kind of tactics is this? It seems that although Lu Bu is brave, he can only be a general, not a handsome.

Han Yi ordered people to go to Zhencheng and Dong'e to recruit the two cities, and sent an envoy to invite Lu Bu to Zhencheng for a while. When Zhen Cheng and Dong'a heard of Cao Cao's defeat, their morale was greatly depressed. Under the negotiation of many parties, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, and Zao Ji surrendered and returned to the countryside to study. Only Xiahoudun was left alone, sticking to Zhencheng to wait for Cao Cao.

When Lu Bu heard of Cao Cao's defeat in Puyang, he didn't wait for Cao Cao, but waited for Han Yi's news, and was immediately shocked and frightened, angry and ashamed, and led the generals to Zhencheng with 20,000 troops to meet with Han Yi.

Han Yi ordered the troops to retreat, rode forward alone, and immediately hugged his fists and smiled: "Brother Fengxian, don't come to harm, is it okay?" Why is it that since leaving Chang'an, Brother Feng first joined Yuan Shu in the south, and then Yuan Shao in the north, but he just didn't want to come to Runan to meet with me and recount the old feelings? ”

Lu Bu crossed the red rabbit, lifted the halberd, and his face was changeable, but in the end he said apologetically: "In the past, I was ordered by the court to kill Ding Yuan, and forced Mingyuan to leave Xihe and go to Runan alone. Although Ming Yuan has conquered the East and the West in the past few years, and has pacified the Central Plains, I have no shame to disturb me. ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "Although Ding Yuan is nominally my father-in-law, in fact, I secretly have a grudge against him, and I will never turn against my brother because of him." Brother Feng Xian didn't have to worry about Ding Yuan's affairs. Besides, you and I are brothers, so there is nothing to disturb and not bother. ”

Lu Bu asked suspiciously, "Then what did Mingyuan mean by leading the troops this time?" ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "I defeated Cao Cao in Mount Tai, naturally I came to take Yanzhou. However, as a flying general, how can Brother Feng wander around, send people under the fence, and have no place to live? Now that Cao Cao has been defeated, and Jiyin and Dongjun have all fallen into the hands of Brother Feng, how about I play Brother Feng as a general of Fenwu to lead the history of Yanzhou's assassination? As for Zhang Miao, he can be the Taishou of Jiyin, and Chen Gong can be the Taishou of Dongjun. I don't know if it's okay? ”

Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this, Han Yi's troops were already strong, and now he defeated Cao Cao, who had 100,000 troops, in another battle, which made Lu Bu even more afraid. It's good to be able to survive in two counties without a fight, but ...... Lu Bu asked again: "Chen Gongtai is still in Shanyang, and the land of several counties in Shanyang ......"

Han Yi said with a smile: "I exchanged the four counties of Dong'a, Fan, Gucheng, and Linyi. And in the eight counties of Dongjun north of the Yellow River, if Brother Feng Xian intends to take it, I can support 200,000 stone of grain and grass. How is it? ”

Lu Bu was overjoyed, so he abandoned the halberd and stepped forward to reminisce with Han Yi about the old relationship, and summoned Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, the two generals, and the four of them drank and talked together, and then said goodbye. On the second day, the two armies combined, took Zhen Cheng together, attacked for several days, Cao's army finally failed, there were traitors to open the city to lead Lu Bu into the city, Lu Bu personally beheaded Xiahou Dun who came to drive the enemy, Zhen Cheng was finally broken, and the whole territory of Yanzhou was flat. Han Yi and Lu Bu repeatedly swore an alliance to resist Yuan Shao. Only then did he lead the troops back to Runan.

Tao Qian heard that Han Yi broke Cao's army, took most of Yanzhou, and united with Lu Bu to resist Yuan Shao. Looking at the land of the Central Plains, all of them obeyed Han Yi's order. can fight hard, only Xuzhou remains. In addition, Han Yi also had great kindness to Xuzhou, so he had the intention of subduing. Ling Mi Zhu held the Xuzhou seal in his hand and went to Runan to surrender. Han Yi was surprised and delighted when he heard the news, but he was unwilling to take the seal of Xuzhou lightly, so he hurriedly went to Guangling, Xuzhou, intercepted Tao Qian, who wanted to cross the Yangtze River and return to the south, and asked Tao Qian to return to Xuzhou again.

Tao Qian sighed: "The old man is over sixty years old, and his energy has long been low, why don't Han Zhengdong let the old man return to Danyang and recuperate for the rest of his life." ”

Han Yi feigned anger and said: "Now that the four realms of Xuzhou are broken, it can be said that they are all Tao Gong's crimes. Tao Gong didn't lift his spirits, took charge of political affairs, and made the land of Xuzhou prosperous again, but pushed this to me, didn't Tao Gong think that Han Yi was easy to bully? ”

Tao Qian was stunned, Mi Zhu, Chen Deng, Cao Bao and others also persuaded each other, Tao Qian was ashamed to take the state seal again, and promised to only temporarily govern Xuzhou for Han Yi for three years, three years later, he will return to his hometown, and ask Han Yi to Xuzhou to accept the civil and military visits. Han Yi is a feast of Xuzhou civil and military, treated politely, praised with bravery, and everyone obeyed. Han Yi also took Cao Bao and Chen Deng as meritorious, Cao Bao as the subordinate minister, and Chen Deng as the Guangling Taishou to peek into Jiangdong.

At night, Cao Bao ordered his daughter to come to serve, Han Yi wanted to refuse, but he thought about Wei Xu's incident back then, this move may not be the action of Xuzhou Wenwu, and it cannot be refused, otherwise it will only backfire, and can only be accepted. On the second day, Chen Deng told Han Yi again, saying that there was still a young sister in Xuzhou's family, and Han Yi understood it, so he accepted his sister as a concubine, and then turned back to Runan.
