Xu Chu immediately stepped forward and kicked this person to the ground, and scolded angrily: "Okay, you thief who doesn't know whether to live or die, not only do you not know how to repent now, but you also dare to speak wildly, watch grandpa's iron fist smash your full mouth of dog teeth!" ”

It's a wild beating, but it won't kill people, and it will wait for Cao Cao's final decision.

Cao Ren said to Cao Cao: "This person is the son of Fu Zhi!" ”

Cao Cao nodded and said with a smile: "I heard that your father was loyal, and I would rather die for Yuan Shao, but I didn't expect you to have such loyalty, not bad!" It's a pity, your father and son are foolish! Yuan Shao is a person who is ambitious and small, strong and timid, jealous and less powerful, has many soldiers and is not clear, will be arrogant and the government decrees are different, although the land is wide and the food is abundant, it is enough for me to serve it! ”

Frustrated Hu scolded: "Cao thief, even if Yuan Gong is not in a thousand ways, he is ten thousand times stronger than you, the old man who holds the Son of Heaven hostage and confuses the world!" ”

Cao Cao still didn't care much about the frustrated scolding, and asked with a smile: "Since Yuan Benchu is so powerful in your heart, why did he throw away his armor and flee in the first battle of Guandu?" Now that I am here, where is he? Who's the best? ”

Frustrated Hu gritted his teeth, hated to bite off Cao Cao's flesh, and scolded again: "Although you win, you are just using the name of the Son of Heaven to deceive the world and deceive the world!" You are cold and thin, and you kill excessively, what kind of face do you have to put gold on your face? Do you still remember Lu Boyu? ”

As soon as he mentioned "Lu Boxuan", Cao Cao's face immediately turned cold, and he said coldly: "I see that you are a usable talent, and I want to give you a chance to live." I ask you again, will you surrender? ”

Frustrated Hu looked up to the sky and laughed: "Cao thief, I hate not to eat your flesh and drink your blood, how can I descend to you?" A gentleman does not serve the second gentleman, and he steals his life, like a walking corpse! If you lose, you will lose your ears, why die! ”

Cao Cao looked solemnly and said: "In this case, I will fulfill you!" ”

Cao Cao waved his hand, and the early knife and axe hand pushed the frustrated hu down, and the frustrated hu looked up to the sky and smiled away, and in an instant, sent a bloody human head, it was the frustrated hu, although there was blood on his face, but he was still smiling, his eyes were wide, and he seemed to be mocking everyone present.

Cao Cao glanced at it and waved his hand: "Hang it at the head of the city, show it to the public for three days, and bury it with the gift of the general!" ”

Cao Ren gave up his promise.

Cao Cao sighed: "I can't imagine that to this day, there are still people who are loyal to Yuan Benchu!" Pity! Pity! ”

I don't know what Cao Cao said was that it was a pity that such a person as Frustrated Hu had defected to Yuan Shao, and it was a pity not to use it for himself, or it was a pity that he did not surrender, or that Yuan Shao had such talents and did not know that people used them well, or that there were other ......

Among the several captives, Yin Kai sneered: "Fu Gong died for loyalty, and he died a well-deserved death!" What a pity! ”

Cao Cao said coldly: "You also want to die for Yuan Benchu?" ”

Yin Kai said angrily: "Live a lifetime, although life is still death, I am willing to die!" ”

Cao Cao's eyes flashed with appreciation, but in the end he nodded and said, "This is a righteous man, it will be fulfilled!" Thick burial! ”

A moment later, there was another head in front of everyone's eyes.

Cao Cao turned to the others and asked coldly, "Are you willing to surrender?" ”

Several people glanced at each other, and one knelt down and said, "Han Fan is willing to surrender!" ”

When Cao Cao looked over, a person beside Han Fan also knelt on the ground: "Liang Qi is willing to surrender!" ”

……

Several people surrendered one by one, and finally one person stood, this man was burly, with messy hair and a shawl, and a beard like iron, obviously a fierce general with a good figure.

Cao Ren spoke again: "This person is Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain Army!" ”

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly flashed: "I have also heard that Zhang Yanxiao, the leader of the Montenegrin Army, is brave and good at fighting, astute, and excellent in martial arts. I want to use you as a general, would you like to? ”

Cao Cao said this point, which can be regarded as showing great sincerity. Unless Zhang Yan is bent on death, he can only surrender.

Zhang Yan thought for a long time, knelt down and said, "Yan is willing to surrender!" ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed, and ordered people to loosen the ties of all the generals on the spot, and to Zhang Yan personally untied the ropes, and on the spot named the individual as a general, partial general and other positions, Zhang Yan was different, worshiped as the general of Pingbei, was named the Marquis of Anguo Pavilion, and had 500 households.

After the capture of Yecheng, Cao Cao was full of joy, and set up a big banquet that night, ordering the generals and colonels in the army to participate separately, and introducing the generals one by one, naturally the monarchs and ministers were happy.

The next day, the scout reported that Yuan Shangben went to the plains to attack Yuan Tan, and learned that Yecheng was in danger, so he hurriedly led 10,000 horses to help, Cao Cao immediately recruited the generals to discuss, and finally used Guo Jia's strategy to lead the generals to fight and intercept Yuan Shang head-on.

After a vicious battle, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shang. Yuan Shang fled to the bend of Zhangshui and set up camp, but he did not expect that his generals Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang would defect and lead people to attack Yuan Shang, although Yuan Shang had the courage, it was difficult to resist, and he found out that Cao Cao once again sent a large army on all sides to encircle him, but he had not yet closed the siege, Yuan Shang was frightened in his heart, and hurriedly sent Yin Kui and Chen Lin to Cao Cao to ask for surrender, but Cao Cao did not agree. Yuan Shang knew that Cao Cao was worried that he would rebel in the future, so he had no choice but to flee to Lankou again with his men and horses, and Cao Cao marched again, and soon surrounded Yuan Shang again.

After a few days of fighting, Yuan Shang was sleepy and tired, and the soldiers were exhausted, during which he was attacked by Yuan Tan, defeated again and again, and Yuan Shang was once again surrendered by the general Ma Yan and others, and the troops were completely routed, Yuan Shang fled to Zhongshan and took refuge with his second brother Yuan Xi, and was defeated!

Cao Cao seized Yecheng, and captured Yuan Shang's baggage, obtained Yuan Shang's seals, runes, axes and cymbals and clothing items, he ordered people to show to everyone, the news spread, the morale of Hebei was low, and the generals of various families saw that the general trend had gone, and they sent people to surrender to Cao Cao.

Although Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi still occupy the land of Nanpi and Youyan respectively, they no longer affect the overall situation, the north is basically calm, and Cao Cao's power is even more powerful than before.

Seeing that the sky was cold, the horn bow was difficult to open, and the soldier was difficult to grasp, Cao Cao ordered the squad to return to the court, and the news came, and the Manchu civil and military rushed to congratulate him.

The north is cold, but Hanzhong in the south of the Qinling Mountains is much warmer, although the weather is much colder, but compared to the cold wind in the north and west, it is simply a fairyland.

was attacked by Zhao Yun to take Wuguan, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan were helpless to stay in Xicheng, but Liu Yong didn't want them to live in peace, passed the book to Wei Yan replaced Zang Ba, Yang Ren and other generals of the army continued to send people to harass, the two brothers went out of the city in anger, and were defeated by Zhang He's design, and their morale was extremely low.

Hanzhong originally hoarded most of the grain and grass in Chenggu, and the accumulation in Xicheng was only enough for their 30,000 soldiers for three months, and the Tao could only support one month at this time.

Finally, when they were almost in a desperate situation, Cao Cao's henchmen finally went through hardships and dangers and delivered a secret letter to them.
