After resisting for a day, the Yuan army that held Jixian County surrendered to Cao's army.

In the Jixian County Mansion, Cao Shuo sat in the front hall.

On either side of him sat Tian Feng and his generals.

Deng Zhan walked in from outside.

Without waiting for him to speak, Cao Shuo asked first, "Have you found it?" ”

"Returning to Gongzi, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang broke out of the city and were not in the city." Deng Zhan replied: "Some soldiers saw them go out of the city with their own eyes. ”

"See for yourself?" Cao Shuo frowned slightly: "Could it be that Yuan Xianfu is also gone?" ”

"The two of them went to the Wuhuan King Badun together." Deng Zhan replied.

Hearing that Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi left together, Cao Shuo couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Cao Shuo had previously told Yuan Shang that he would wait in the city.

If Yuan Shang really stayed, Cao Shuo would definitely not kill him, and would send him to Yizhou, far south.

Yizhou is Taiwan 2,000 years later.

There was a sea separation from the Central Plains, and in the late Han Dynasty, where navigation technology was not very developed, except for a navy capable of expeditions, there were no other forces capable of going to sea to fight.

Including Cao Cao's command, there is no navy that can go to sea.

It's a pity that Yuan Shang didn't appreciate it.

He followed Yuan Xi and walked away.

"Yuan Shang didn't stay, and Gongzi didn't have to think too much." Tian Feng said to Cao Shuo: "Everyone has his own life, and he will pay the price for the choices he makes." ”

"I know what he's going to pay." Cao Shuo said: "Actually, I have a really good relationship with Yuan Xianfu, and I really can't bear to watch him die." Originally, I planned to send him to Yizhou, but when he got there, he would not be able to prepare enough troops to resist the Cao family, and the Cao family would not be able to cross the sea to attack him. It's a pity that he is disobedient, and he doesn't take the road of living well, but he wants to go to the road of death. ”

"What are you going to do?" Tian Feng asked.

Cao Shuo didn't answer, but asked Tian Feng rhetorically: "How can the Gongsun family of Liaodong deal with his father's reward?" ”

He diverted the topic, and Tian Feng didn't ask anything else, and replied: "Gong Cao gave Gongsun Du a general, but Gongsun Du didn't appreciate it at all, and hung the seal ribbon in the warehouse and ignored it. ”

Cao Shuo smiled slightly, and asked Tian Feng, "What happened to Gongsun Du now?" ”

"Gongsun Du is already old, hung up the seal of Cao Gong's reward, and died not long after." Tian Feng replied: "Now it is his son Gongsun Kang who has taken over Liaodong. ”

"I think Gongsun Du is the same with Yuan Shang." Cao Shuo said: "If you don't go to live, you have to choose a dead road." The order went down, let the soldiers rest for a few days, and go to Liaodong with me. ”

Tian Feng responded, and then asked Cao Shuo, "Gongzi really plans to crusade against Liaodong?" ”

"Liaodong belongs to Youzhou, I got most of Youzhou, leaving only Liaodong to the Gongsun family, Yuan Hao thinks I will be willing?" Cao Shuo asked him.

Tian Feng didn't ask any more.

With Cao Shuo's temperament, the place where he decided to fight would definitely not be delayed for too long.

The Gongsun family of Liaodong has long been on the list of Cao Shuo's attacks, but there has been no excuse.

Now that the excuse is here, how can Cao Shuo let it go?

More than ten days after Cao Shuo decided to attack Liaodong, Cao Cao received the news that Jixian County had been breached.

In the study, he and Guo Jia were playing against each other.

A sunspot fell, and Cao Cao said: "Zirong led the army to break through Jixian County, and Youzhou mostly fell into his hands. ”

"It's not all in the hands of Childe yet." Guo Jia replied: "Now that Liaodong still does not obey the order, the son should not sit idly by." ”

Cao Cao smiled slightly and asked Guo Jia, "How long has Zirong not returned to Shouchun?" ”

"It's been a long time." Guo Jia said: "In the past two years, Gongzi has fought again and again, and it is indeed very hard. ”

"Of course I know he's hard." Cao Cao said: "So I feel that he doesn't have to fight in Liaodong, and he should go back to Shouchun first." ”

"What do you mean by Cao Gong......" Guo Jia asked in surprise.

"Liaodong and Wuhuan meet." Cao Cao said: "Zirong crusaded against Youzhou and fought with the Wuhuan people, and I heard that our army also gained a lot of benefits in that battle. If he marched into Liaodong, how could the Wuhuan people not kill from behind? What's more, now that Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang have fled to the Bang Dun army, they must have followed Bao Dun to Wuhuan. With them, Wuhuan and our Cao family are like fire and water. ”

"I heard that after Guandu, many Hebei people fled from Wuhuan." Guo Jia said: "There should be more than 100,000 households who fled there, and Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang fled to Wuhuan, probably wanting to regroup there and fight to the death with the Cao family." ”

"Fight to the death?" Cao Cao said with a smile: "Since Guandu, they have been fighting to the death with our Cao family. And yet how many games did they win? The so-called decisive battle is just a lingering breath for Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang. ”

"Wuhuan is far to the north." Guo Jia said: "Although Gongzi led the army to capture Youzhou, the road to Wuhuan is not easy to walk. What's more, if Cao Gong wants to destroy the Yuan family, he must go out to fight against Wuhuan. ”

"What does Bonghyo think I should do?" Cao Cao asked, "Should I let Zirong return to Shouchun to rest for some time, and then let him lead the troops to fight, or should I personally lead the troops to fight?" ”

"If it is the eldest son's crusade, does Cao Gongxin believe that he will kill Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang?" Guo Jia did not answer, but asked Cao Cao.

"Zirong is good at anything, but sometimes it will be a woman's kindness." Cao Cao said: "I heard that he also sent the youngest son of the Yuan family to Shouchun and handed it over to Yuan Fang to take care of. ”

"The kindness of the child's wife?" Guo Jia asked Cao Cao in surprise, "How did Cao Gong make such a judgment?" ”

"If it weren't for the kindness of the woman, how could he leave the Yuan family's evil seeds?" Cao Cao said: "You must know that there is one person in the Yuan family who is alive, and they will all be enemies of our Cao family in the future. ”

"Cao Gong is too worried." Guo Jia replied: "Childe must have his reason for doing this. Judging from the son I know, every time he makes a benevolent move, he is sure that he can control the situation. If he can't control the situation, Childe will not hesitate to kill. ”

"You have a lot of respect for Zirong." Cao Cao smiled at Guo Jia: "In your opinion, what is the difference between Zihuan and Zirong?" ”

"How can I judge the affairs of Gong Cao's family?" Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Don't ask me about this kind of thing, after all, I married my sister to the eldest son, even if I say anything, it is biased, Cao Gong must not take it to heart." ”

"I won't force you if you don't say it." Cao Cao said: "What are you thinking in your heart, I am clear. ”

Guo Jia didn't say anything, but just dropped a piece on the chessboard.

"Forget it, you and I are gambling, and it's not appropriate to talk about this." Cao Cao said: "Play chess, play chess, and finish this game!" ”
