With Liu Bian's edict, Liu Bian, who was in Chenliu Tuntian, led Guan and Zhang to raise their troops and march to Xiao Pass. After Huaxiong broke Longxian, more than ten surrounding counties were afraid of the might of Xiliang and surrendered one after another.

Yuan Shao led the remnants of the army Luoyang was directly separated from the post of general of the expedition to the west by Liu Wei, if it were not for the courtiers to intercede, I am afraid that they would have been questioned and imprisoned.

Cao Cao, who was in Wuguan, couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he learned of Yuan Shao's situation.

"Why does Gong Cao sigh?"

A white-clothed scholar walked out next to Cao Cao and spoke. Cao Cao looked back and saw that it was the staff member who came to Wuguan to collect it, Cheng Yu. It was recommended by Xun Yu, who accompanied him at the beginning, and later gave advice under Cao Cao's account. On the same day, Xun Yu recommended Cheng Yu to Cao Cao, and Yu said Xun Yu: "A lonely and unheard of is not enough to be recommended by the public." However, Cheng Yu is talented and learned, and often analyzes the general trend of the world for Cao Cao, and Cao Cao is also willing to talk.

Seeing Cheng Yu's questioning, Cao Cao seemed to have found a confidant. Looking at the old tree in the courtyard, he said: "Zhongde, I don't know, in the past, in the Luoyang Palace, I also served the country with the original protector to eradicate the chaotic party, but now the times have changed, and the original has lived up to the past overnight, and I am lonely and conscientious, and I often want to return to my hometown and retreat." ”

After listening to Cao Cao's words, Cheng Yu laughed.

"Cao Gong, there is a difference in this statement. If today's heroes are divided, it is the time when Cao Gong raised the three-foot sword to build an immortal feat. ”

Cao Cao glanced at Cheng Yu and sighed: "Having said that, but if the Marquis of Wuxiang is alive, I am afraid that there will be no heroes." ”

After Cheng Yu heard this, he whispered in Cao Cao's ear. Cao Cao was taken aback at first, and then his face was overjoyed, and he looked at Cheng Yu blankly.

"Don't Cao Gong know that there is such a sentence, princes and generals, rather there is a kind of thing?" Cheng Yu said to Cao Cao with a smile.

That night, the children of the Cao family gathered in the inner hall. Cao Cao ordered Cao Hong and Cao Ren to lead 8,000 elite soldiers to Jibei. Xiahou Yuan, Xu Chu led 5,000 troops to fight Dongjun. The two armies rushed towards Yanzhou, and Cao Cao sent a letter to Luoyang to ask for an edict. But it was a prelude to the first cut, and when the holy decree came and went, it was estimated that the two counties of East County and Jibei County had been conquered.

And Liu Dai of Yanzhou did not know that Cao Cao was coming, and with Dong Zhuo's edict to crusade against the remnants of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, Guan Hai could not resist fleeing in all directions, and Liu Dai took the opportunity to occupy many boundaries in Qingzhou. Now Liu Dai led the Lu army to besiege Beihai and Donglai counties.

Under Beihai City, Liu Dai's Wang Qi waved in the wind. Beihai Taishou Kong Rong stood at the head of the city, next to a white-robed young general, with a longbow behind him, it was the famous Tai Shici of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Liu Dai, you are vain as a Han minister, and you are a relative of the Han family." Kong Rong stood at the head of the city and scolded angrily.

"Haha, this king is an edict to suppress thieves, Kong Taishou quickly let me into the city, otherwise don't blame this king for treating you as a rebel." Liu Dai sat on the horse and laughed.

"Shameless." Kong Rong took a sip towards the city, and Tai Shici beside him had already opened his bow and arrows, and the internal force of his whole body was condensed.

I only heard the sound of "whoosh" breaking through the air, and Liu Dai's pupils instantly widened. Suddenly, there was a clang, and Liu Dai hurriedly turned over and dismounted. It turned out to be a fierce general next to him, and Wang Zhong picked it away with a shot. Liu Dai let out a cold sweat in shock, and saw Tai Shici stretch his bow and arrow again. Liu Dai hurriedly escaped into the army.

As Tai Shi Ci shot an arrow, King Lu's flag was shot straight away. Liu Dai was frightened, and hurriedly retreated two miles away and surrounded Beihai.

Kong Rong saw that Liu Dai's army and horses had retreated slightly, so he hurriedly repaired a book, so that Kong Rong broke out of the siege and asked Liu Yu, the king of Yan, for help.

Liu Yu received a letter from Beihai Kong Rong asking for help, and after consulting with the staff in the government, he decided to send troops to support. On the one hand, he reported to Liu Wei, and on the other hand, he allocated 10,000 troops and horses to attack the rear of Liu Dai's army.

The next day, Beihai City was killed. It turned out that the Taishou army of Donglai County was defeated and committed suicide, and the army of Donglai County came to aid Beihai, and the army was ready to take Beihai County with all its might.

Kong Rong had already prepared for a bloody battle to the end, and for a while, arrows rained down, and swords and soldiers met each other on the city wall. Liu Dai's military horse was desperately blocked ten meters away from the city gate. The corpses under the city wall were piled up, the blood flowed into the city, and after a day of fighting, the Northern Navy held the city with difficulty.

Liu Dai was secretly unfortunate in the army, and the two-day offensive faux pas could not help but shake the army's heart, especially now that the battle line is tight. The weather is getting cooler, and if you can't attack it for a long time, I'm afraid it will be bad for the army.

On the second day, after the Santong Valley, Liu Dai led the army to launch a charge and attacked the city on all sides. The city gate of Beihai was almost lost, and finally the army broke through the city wall, and the North Navy hurried to encircle, and the two sides met each other on the city wall, Kong Rong personally supervised the battle, and cut down several enemy troops in a row. Seeing that the city wall was about to fall, Kong Rong trembled and withdrew the sword in his hand, wanting to commit suicide by neck, thanks to the general next to him.

Suddenly, Liu Dai's army was in turmoil. I saw Tai Shici leading an army and a gun from the rear of Liu Dai's army, rampage all the way. The Yan army relied on the courage of Tai Shici to slash and kill, and Liu Dai's army was defeated all the way.

Kong Rong saw Tai Shici who was colliding with the chaotic army at a glance, and it was expected that reinforcements were coming. Taking advantage of the enemy's attack and sluggishness, he hurriedly led his soldiers to fight back.

Liu Dai saw that the rear army was in chaos, and the secret way was not good, and sure enough, he saw Tai Shici leading the army towards him, and hurriedly rode his horse to escape its edge. Tai Shi Ci opened his bow and shot at Liu Dai, and Liu Dai hurriedly bowed down. only heard a breaking sound, and a guard next to him fell to the ground. Wang Zhong rode a horse to find Liu Dai, and when he saw that he had lost his armor and abandoned his armor in the midst of the chaos, Wang Zhong hurriedly restrained his horse. Liu Dai tidied up his clothes and helmet in embarrassment, and the people around him gathered together one after another. After Liu Dai counted the horses on the whole, he found that more than 20,000 people had been lost in this battle, most of whom trampled on each other and died.

Seeing that there was no hope of breaking the city, Liu Dai asked people to garrison Donglai County, and returned to Yanzhou with a large army on his own. Halfway through, I saw someone summoning Yanzhou to be in an emergency. Jibei and Dongjun counties are in an emergency. It turned out that Cao Cao took advantage of Liu Dai's attack on Beihai and marched towards Yanzhou on two roads. Jibei Bao Xin could not resist Cao Hong's military might, and after holding on for three days, Jibei City was breached, and Bao Xin abandoned the city and fled to Taishan County, Yanzhou. And Qiao Mao, the Taishou of Dongjun, committed suicide due to the arrival of Xiahou Yuan, and the city was defeated. Liu Dai was so angry when he heard that he vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted. Wang Zhong hurriedly ordered the army to return to Qingzhou day and night.

Cao Cao's letter was presented to Liu Wei's Longtai early in the morning. After a while, Zhuge Ming hurriedly entered the palace. Seeing Cao Cao's letter, Zhuge Ming's face was instantly gloomy, and sure enough, Cao Cao couldn't hold back after all. After a while, Liu Yude also presented the report, and Liu Wei was furious after reading it. It was not easy for a few days in the world, first the Xiliang War, then Qingzhou, and the Yanzhou War.

"Kong Ming, look at this report." Liu Wei threw Liu Yude's report to Zhuge Ming, who hurriedly picked it up and knew it in his heart.

"Your Majesty, it is estimated that Meng Denai took advantage of Liu Dai's counterattack to attack Qingzhou, and the defense was empty." Zhuge Ming hurriedly comforted.

"Kong Ming, am I confused, or are you confused, this obvious cut first and then play, does this still put me in your eyes." The more Liu Wei spoke, the angrier he became.

"Your Majesty, Meng De is afraid of the suspicious fighter plane."

"Could it be that Kong Ming showed." Liu Wei stared at Zhuge Ming with both eyes, and his face was slightly surprised.

Zhuge Ming shook his head, looked at Liu Wei and said: "This shilling Liu Bei guarded Chen Liu, because he was worried about the matter of Yanbei, and now no matter how Cao Cao has made a meritorious contribution to the rebellion, His Majesty should be rewarded." This is Meng De's temptation to His Majesty, His Majesty must give it first if he wants to take it first, and now Cao Cao has 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, so he must not be guarded against. ”

Liu Wei secretly clenched his fists, ordered Zhuge Ming to write, and named Cao Cao as the pastor of Yanzhou. After the holy decree was issued, the horse was quickly whipped and sent to Wuguan.
