Two hundred miles is only a day or two for the cavalry, and when Wuhuan sent the news of Cao's arrival to Liucheng, Cao Cao was already less than a hundred miles away from Liucheng.

Shan Yulou was very scared when he heard it, so he asked his brother for advice. Badun thought that Cao Cao had come from afar, and as long as he was stalemate, Cao Cao would inevitably retreat, and he could also chase and kill the past, and he would definitely be able to defeat Cao Cao. So he asked him to lead his troops to intercept Cao Cao, and Lou Ban agreed.

Bun Dun led the army to meet Cao Cao, and Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi also led troops to follow, a total of tens of thousands of cavalry.

After the two armies met, Cao Cao climbed to look up and found that although the Wuhuan army was numerous, it was not in order. He handed over his command flag to Zhang Liao, and made Zhang Liao the vanguard, leading all the cavalry, and attacking Wuhuan when he was about to attack the scattered formation. Zhang Liao's onslaught caused chaos in Wuhuan, and Zhang Liao led his troops to rush to Bandun and kill him.

It was supposed to be a protracted battle, but with the death of Badun, Wuhuan was immediately in chaos, and many people surrendered, and Hu Han had 200,000 people. It was an unprecedented victory, a win with less, a positive one, and it took a very short time.

Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi escaped from the chaos and fled back to Liucheng.

Cao Cao then attacked Liucheng and went down. The Yuan brothers, Lou Ban and others fled to Liaodong, and Cao Cao won a complete victory.

At this time, someone suggested that they could take the opportunity to directly attack Gongsun Kang in Liaodong, and the excuses were all ready-made. But Cao Cao did not unify, but sent an envoy to meet Gongsun Kang.

The envoy arrived in Liaodong, met with Gongsun Kang, and asked Gongsun Kang to present the heads of the Yuan brothers. Gongsun Kang didn't dare to disobey, so he found an excuse to invite the Yuan brothers.

At this time, the Yuan brothers also wanted to kill Gongsun Kang, occupy Liaodong, and make a comeback. As a result, Gongsun Kang was still a step ahead, and he set up an ambush in the stable and arrested the Yuan brothers. Gongsun Kang killed Er Yuan, and killed Lou Ban and Su Fuyan, who came with Er Yuan.

The envoy returned to Liucheng with the heads of the Yuan brothers and Lou Ban and Su Fuyan, and some people were very strange. Cao Cao explained: "Gongsun Kang is afraid of Yuan Shang, if I go to attack, Gongsun Kang and Yuan Shang will inevitably unite, if I don't attack, the two will definitely fight, this is forced by the situation." ”

This paragraph has a nice name in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", called Guo Jia's Legacy Ping Liaodong, which describes Guo Jia as a god, and even many people think that Guo Jia is immortal and Zhuge is not out, and that Zhuge Liang is afraid of Guo Jia.

This is complete nonsense, not to mention whether Zhuge Liang will be afraid of Guo Jia, just talk about the matter itself, when Gongsun Kang killed Er Yuan, Guo Jia was not dead! He's just feeling a little unwell right now. Historically, Guo Jia was when he withdrew from Liucheng, and it can be said that it should be after Cao Cao created the view of the sea. If Guo Jia died before this, how could Cao Cao still be in the mood to create a view of the sea? He must have been saddened by the song.

Withdrawing troops from Liucheng, Cao Cao could not return from the original route, that would starve many people to death. So he went east to capture Leyang, and then to the east to capture Changli County, the seat of the Liaodong vassal state. When he waited for the envoy, he was also waiting in Changli County, and after getting the head of Er Yuan, Cao Cao prepared to withdraw his troops.

In the north of Changli County, there is a mountain called Jieshi Mountain. Cao Cao suddenly rose, he took people to climb the Jieshi Mountain, looked south, saw the sea in the distance, suddenly had a feeling, and recited the famous article "Watching the Sea", "The east is adjacent to the Jieshi, in order to view the sea." The water is surging, and the mountains and islands are sturging. The trees are overgrown and the grass is abundant. The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are surging. The trip of the sun and the moon, if out of it. The stars are splendid, if out of it. Fortunately, even ya, the song is a song. ”

After hearing this, the entourage immediately praised Cao Cao. The thing about cultural people is that the sedan chair carries people, and in the end everyone is happy. Cao Cao's interest was also very high, and he was smiling all over his face for several days. A self-proclaimed man of letters, he wrote a poem that would make him proud of himself.

Cao Cao is a person who is very proud, and he sometimes shows his true temperament. There are very few people who can do Cao Cao's this, and celebrities and scholars have to follow etiquette and often hide their true nature. There are not many people who can achieve such a true temperament as Cao Cao, only Sun Ce can do it during the Three Kingdoms period, and now only Zhang Yi is left.

It has been almost a month since he was brought in Changli, and Cao Cao needs to return to Xuchang quickly, and he is afraid that Zhang Yi will be a moth again.

Cao Cao traveled south from Changli to the Bintu and Tuhe rivers, and then returned to Shanhaiguan by the sea.

When I was walking more than 200 miles, I encountered a rainy day, and the road was muddy and difficult to walk. Coupled with the unpredictable weather, Guo Jia, who was already unwell, became ill.

Cao Cao was also very anxious when he heard that Guo Jia was sick, and now there is no place in the village and no store in the back, and the drugs for treatment are insufficient. Cao Cao asked the doctor to do his best to save Guo Jia's life. But the healers are helpless about it, they are good at swords and guns, but they are not good at other diseases.

After a few days of treatment, Guo Jia still passed away.

God is jealous of talent, and it is not too much to describe Guo Jia's early death. Speaking of Cao Cao's life, it was also very bitter, he had a strategist named Xi Zhicai before, but Xi Zhicai died every two years. So Xun Yu recommended Guo Jia to Cao Cao to replace Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and Cao Cao have similar temperaments, Cao Cao was ready to entrust his future affairs to Guo Jia, but he didn't expect Guo Jia to die first.

Cao Cao is very sad, the greatest joy in life is to have a confidant, Cao Cao feels that his confidant is Guo Jia. As soon as Guo Jia died, Cao Cao felt that no one could know his mind, just like Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi, after Zhong Ziqi's death, Yu Boya never played the piano again.

Half a month later, Cao Cao finally arrived in Linyu, then went to Feiru and Lingzhi, returned to Xu Wu County, Beiping County, and then returned to Ji County after going to Wuzhong and Lu County.

Cao Cao returned to Yecheng with a large army, and Youzhou was about to fall, and he was going to focus on dealing with Zhang Yi. It was impossible to deal with Zhang Yi without a navy, so he opened up a Xuanwu pool near Yecheng to train the navy.

At the same time, Cao Cao continued his expedition to Wuhuan, abolished the Three Princes, restored the prime minister system, and appointed himself prime minister.

However, not long after Cao Cao became prime minister, he got the news that Cai Zhaoji, the woman of his friend Cai Yong, was in the Southern Xiongnu. Cai Yong can be said to be half of Cao Cao's teacher, he once learned a lot from Cai Yong, for his friend's descendant Cao Cao of course can't let her be left behind, so Cao Cao sent people to the Southern Xiongnu to ransom Cai Zhaoji back.
