The two generals fought in the formation, it can be said that the chess opponent will meet the talent, the two generals will raise the sword and halberd at the same time, and even the fight for 50 rounds will not be divided into winners and losers. Han Yi and Cao Cao were secretly surprised when they saw it, and it was really rare in the world to have such an opponent with no distinction between martial arts and upper and lower skills.

Han Yi thought to himself: Cao Mengde has only half a year to get Yanzhou, and he can summon such a fierce general. I heard that the other generals don't seem to be bad. If he is given more time to develop, I am afraid that I will not be his opponent. When the speed of the destruction is the best.

Cao Cao also thought about it: Han Mingyuan originally had five good generals under the command of Cheng Qi, Wen Chou, Gao Lan, Che La, and Wang Yang, and now there are Che Jing, Yu Hua, Tai Shici, Huang Zhong, Zhou Ge, Deng Dang and other strong generals, Tian Palm, Wang Dang and other good generals. There are so many talents under the command of the Han family. Thinking that Yan and Henan are closely connected, and now that Han Mingyuan is personally in charge, I don't know when my hegemony will be successful?

Cao Cao looked at Han Yi's eyes and couldn't help but be fierce. The two generals fought for another 30 rounds, but still did not see a victory. Cao Cao was about to make a move, when suddenly an army from behind Cao's army came out, and Cao's army was in chaos. Han Yi was overjoyed, Wen Chou's army finally came, and immediately ordered Cheng Qi and Wang Dang to go out on the left, and Yu Hua and Tai Shici to go out on the right, and led the army to fight Cao Cao in person.

Cao's army was suddenly attacked from both sides, and he was immediately in chaos, and he hurriedly ordered his generals to resist separately. However, the Korean army was in full swing, and there were reinforcements to attack, and the offensive was fierce, and Cao's army was defeated and retreated soon after. Han Yi's army chased and killed, and Cao's army couldn't resist the enemy, and retreated even after a battle, until he retreated to Jiyang City, where he was caught by Qiu Rui, who heard the news.

Most of the casualties of the Cao army in this battle, and even Zhang Miao of Yongqiu was defeated by Che La and Gao Ran, and fled all the way to Dongjun. Cao Cao felt terrified, asked Yu Xi Zhicai and Qiu Rui, and said: "Han Mingyuan really deserves to be a famous general in the world, and there are many elite soldiers and strong generals under his command, and our army is far inferior." Now that Han Mingyuan is leading the troops to attack, and our army is defeated, what should we do? ”

Qiu Rui said: "You can lead the troops to retreat to Jiyin first, and quickly gather the people to strengthen the people, train into an army, and wait for the Korean army to be tired before counterattacking." ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "My foundation is in Dongjun, how can Han Mingyuan not know that he will not abandon Jiyin to attack Dongjun?" ”

Xi Zhicai also persuaded: "Don't worry, the lord doesn't worry, Han Mingyuan still has Yuan Shao's two-way army unbroken, and he will definitely not stay in Chen for a long time." At most, a general will be left here to contain the lord, and he will lead the troops north to cross Hanoi. ”

Cao Cao was anxious to investigate, and found that as Xi Zhicai said, Han Yi left Che La and Gao Lan to command 20,000 horses and horses in Pingqiu to contain Cao's army, and ordered Che Jing, Zhou Ge and other generals to attack the Shan clan and Shan Father. Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, left Qiu Rui's army to guard Jiyang City, and led the army back to Zhencheng.

Han Yi abandoned Cao Cao and went straight to Sour Zao, and news came from Hanoi that Yuan Shaojun had broken Huai County and Shanyang, and Bao Hong had fled to Wen County. There are only a few thousand soldiers and horses in Hanoi, and under the onslaught of 50,000 Yuan troops, they can hold on for more than a month, and there are still eight counties in Hanoi's eighteen counties, so it can be said that Bao Hong has done his best.

Han Yi wanted to cross the Yellow River, but Yuan Shaojun, who had already heard the news, was waiting in Hebei, and the army was not allowed to cross the river. Han Yi had no choice but to transfer the Wen Chou army to Chenggao to cross the river to rescue Bao Hong, and led the army to raise the army in sour jujube.

Han Yizhao Yang Li asked: "Hanoi County is close to Jizhou, and you can reach Yecheng in one day, Yuan Shao was restless, so he led his troops to take the land of Hanoi ten counties as the frontier. Now that the Yuan army's offensive has disappeared, it is only in Jixian and Liyang, Hebei Province, and there is a large amount of ice floes in the Yellow River, and it is difficult for small boats to cross the river, and it is difficult for the army to cross. How about I want to go back to the army and fight Cao Cao again? ”

Yang Li persuaded: "The army has been dispatched for two months, and the battle has been fought for thousands of miles, and the soldiers are tired. In the cold winter season, it is not good for the besiegers, and Cao Cao is not a person who can be destroyed in a battle, so he can temporarily withdraw his troops and wait for the turn of spring and summer next year, and it is not too late to recruit Cao Cao. ”

Han Yisi and the people of the three counties of Chenliu, Liang and Pei were in vain, and many people were killed, and many people were displaced, and they urgently needed the government to provide relief as soon as possible. He had to extinguish his anger for the time being, retreat and return to Runan County, appoint officials, and prepare for the relief of the people.

Han Yi took Che La as Chen Liutaishou, He Kui, a native of Yangxia in Chen County, as Liang Xiang, and Guo Gong as Pei Xiang, and did his best to relieve the people of the three counties. Until the early spring, the people of the three counties began to be safe, but the grain stocks of the three counties of Runan, Yingchuan and Chenguo were exhausted. Gao Ran rushed to aid 400,000 Shitun grain from Henan, and Han Yi had food to feed the army.

Han Yisi and Luoyang, Henan Province are only 20,000 people in the fields, and there are no cattle or anything, but they can collect 1.2 million stone of grain. After four or six points with the government, the government can get 500,000 stone of grain, and the daily life of the people is not sad.

However, the countries of Runan, Yingchuan, and Chen have a population of 500,000 households and 30 million acres of land, but the government can only collect 5 million stone of grain. In addition, the money purchased from the market is only about 10 million stones, and it seems that Tuntian is still better in terms of obtaining grain. Han Yi thought, is it better to recruit some more people with less land to Tuntian, a county that lacks people?

After this battle, Han Yi defeated Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, and Cao Cao in a row, and only allowed Yuan Shao to win a small victory and obtain the land of ten counties in Hanoi. However, Han Yi won the land of the three counties with a population of one million, and Yuan Shaojun also returned with losses under Huguan. For a while, Han Yi's prestige increased greatly, and he was trusted by many wealthy people in the territory, and they sent the children of the clan to come to serve, and they also wanted to get a piece of the pie.

So Han Yi got a lot of new scholars and good officials, including Yingchuan Chen Qun, Zhong Yan, Zhong Jin, Xun Qi, Xun Yue, Xun Yan, Xun Di; Liang Xi, Yuan Lian, Yuan Ba of Chen County, Handan Chun, Zhang Zhong, Zhang Li, Peiren Ji Zhao, Wu Zhou, Zheng Li, Lu Gong, Xie Song, Xu Ji, Liu Lian, Hu Min, etc. For a time, the clerks under Han Yi were sufficient, and the relief of the victims could be quickly calmed down.

However, Han Yi still has doubts about the Shi clan, and it is okay to come to serve as an official, but those who are in the territory must report to the clan's acres and acres. Depending on the size of the official position, a small part of the tax rate can be exempted. For example, the Yingchuan scholars, who have few acres of land in the clan, are basically exempt. Others that occupy a lot of land must be handed over in most of them.

And for the scholars who are unwilling to be officials under Han Yi, the tax on the acres of land in the clan cannot be less. Moreover, a large number of cool officials were sent to supervise the post, and they patrolled in all directions for many years, and if there were strong and powerful bullies of the scholars, they would be severely punished. If there is any corruption of officials, they will all be handed over to Lu Ping's Hidden Eagle Guard.

Thinking that there are too many good people in the world, they will occupy the main body under Han Yi in the future. Han Yi could only employ people in the proportion of 40% of the scholars, 30% of the Han soldiers, and 30% of the soldiers, and secretly supervised them with Lu Ping's hidden eagle guard, so as not to make them rebel.

For Yin Li's convening of 30,000 volunteers in Yingchuan to train into an army, Han Yi gave high praise. The reason why Han Yi became an accident was because he had seen the rapid training method of the later generations in his dream, coupled with years of boldness, caution and caution, he had gradually grown to this point, and he must not forget the method of military training.

So he set up a training officer in the county, commanding 500 soldiers, all of whom were military attachés and soldiers who had been wounded and retired. On weekdays, the people in the county are divided into eight departments, and each year two departments are selected to practice for two months in summer and winter. Every four years, it is the volunteer army of the county, specifically to supplement the shortage of county soldiers.

By June of the fourth year of the first peace, Han Yi had a total of 450,000 volunteers. Han Yi carefully selected among them, and made up for a total of 40,000 soldiers and 160,000 soldiers from each county and county. There were 30,000 troops in Hedong and Hanoi, 20,000 soldiers in Chenliutun, 10,000 soldiers in Henan, Yingchuan, Chen, Liang and Pei counties, and 60,000 troops in Runan.

In mid-June, seeing that the autumn harvest was imminent, Han Yi summoned the generals again to discuss the attack on Cao Cao, and he must completely defeat Cao Cao's troops within this year. I didn't want to, but suddenly Cao Cao's envoy came to ask for a meeting.

Han Yi asked, "I originally wanted to raise an army to attack Cao Mengde next month, but what did he send you here to do at this time?" ”

"At the beginning of this year, the Xiapi people gathered thousands of people and proclaimed themselves the Son of Heaven. Together with Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, he raised troops to capture Taishan Hua and Fei Ercheng, and slightly Rencheng was broken by my lord. Later, Tao Qian put the blame on Que Xuan, killed Que Xuan, and intended to negotiate peace with the head of my family. I don't want my lord to send Taishan Taishou to welcome his father and his family to Yanzhou to Langxie County; When passing through Xuzhou, he was unexpectedly killed by Tao Qian's old thief and swept away his belongings. ”

"My lord was so grief-stricken that he ordered the whole army to be disciplined, and sent 100,000 troops to avenge his father's blood hatred, and now the troops have been sent to Xuzhou. The lord said that this revenge, I don't know how to win or lose, Han Zhengdong is a benevolent and righteous person, and he can trust his family. If the lord wins, he will subdue Han Zhengdong in the land of Yan and Xu. If the lord is defeated, the lord will not survive, and he will ask Han Zhengdong to take more care of the Cao family after visiting Yanzhou. ”

Han Yi was stunned, but he didn't expect Cao Cao's father to be killed by Tao Qian. Although Tao Qian is stubborn, strong, and authoritarian, he should not be so despicable, and he can't attack Cao Cao, so he slaughters his father and brother. There must be another reason for this.

However, since ancient times, most of those who have taken advantage of people's mourning and killed people have not ended well. Han Yi and Cao Cao have no mortal enmity, but they don't need to take advantage of others.

Moreover, Cao Cao said that there are more than 300,000 households in Xuzhou, a population of nearly 2 million, and no less than 100,000 soldiers and horses. Cao Cao fought with it, and no matter what the victory or defeat, it was bound to decline. At that time, Han Yiruo led the troops to go, and Cao Cao could only raise the land of Erzhou and surrender.

Han Yi said: "Since ancient China, there has been a saying of 'etiquette is not mourning', although Han Yi is vulgar, he is unwilling to do this unrighteous thing. You tell Cao Mengde that after he takes revenge, I will go to him to settle last year's grudge. ”

Han Yi sent Chen Qun to the Cao army to offer condolences, and then gathered the generals under his command to discuss the conquest.

"Ten years ago, there were more than 600,000 households in Yanzhou and more than 3 million in Dingkou. After the years of chaos, at least nearly half of the population was lost. However, since Cao Cao forced the landing of one million Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, there are 500,000 households in Yanzhou, and 2.5 million people in Dingkou. It's just that Cao Cao's time to get the land of Yanzhou was still short, and there was a shortage of money, food, and weapons, so he was defeated by our army. ”

However, since Tao Qian went, the land of Xuzhou has been peaceful for several years, and its solidity is not inferior to the land of Runan. If Cao Cao captures Xuzhou, he is afraid that his momentum will be on par with the lord. A suspicion that Cao Cao just took the opportunity of his father's funeral to swallow Xuzhou. ”

Zhou Ge also said: "This is very true, last year Cao Cao had to be an enemy of the lord and practice the method of killing and training. It can be seen that it is absolutely unscrupulous to achieve its goals. Now he is asking for peace with the lord, which must be for Xuzhou. The lord must not be fooled. ”
