In July, Liu Pi and others from the Yellow Turban Remnants of Runan County had been subdued by Cao Cao, but now they rebelled against Cao Cao again, and Yuan Shao also sent Liu Bei to lead troops to Runan County to harass Cao Cao's rear with Liu Pi. Not only that www.biquge.info Yuan Shao also sent an envoy to Fengyang Andu Lieutenant Li Tong as the general of the expedition to the south. But in the face of the temptation of both Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, Li Tong's position was very firm: "Although Yuan Shao is strong, he will eventually be defeated by Cao Gong." I will not fight until I die, "Duke Cao" beheaded Yuan Shao's messenger, and handed over Yuan Shao's seal to Cao Cao.

At that time, in order to meet the military needs of the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao promulgated new sections for various prefectures and counties, which was quite severe, especially the urgency of the silk adjustment. Li Tong also stepped up the collection of people's households in Yang'an County, Runan County. Zhao Yan, the magistrate of Langling County, specially came to persuade Li Tong: "Now that Liu Pi has rebelled, only Yang'an is not a thief." But if you do this, aren't you afraid of causing turmoil Li Channel" is because the left and right counties are rebellious, if I can't send these silks in time, someone will definitely slander in front of Cao Gong, saying that I have a state of hope" Zhao Yan said, "What you said is also reasonable. But I think it's better to explain the actual situation to Cao Gong, and you can't exploit the people like this" So Zhao Yan wrote a letter to Xun Yu, Cao Cao saw the letter handed over by Xun Yu, and at the same time listened to the advice of Changguang Taishou He Kui, so he ordered to return all the cotton silk that had been requisitioned to the people, so that the whole country was happy, and the county was peaceful. Li Tong also took the opportunity to pacify Qu Gong and other rebel armies, and restored the land of Huai and Ru.

However, Liu Bei instigated between Runan and Yingchuan counties, and the officials and people south of Xudu were all uneasy. This is always a big concern. Cao Ren was ordered to lead the cavalry to fight back against Liu Bei, recover the rebellious counties and return them. After Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Ren, he returned to see Yuan Shao again, saying that he was willing to go to Jingzhou to persuade Liu Biao to unite with Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao supplemented Liu Bei with soldiers and horses, and asked him to go to Runan County again. So Liu Bei came to Runan County again, and this time he found another leader of the Yellow Turban Yu Party, Gong Dulian, with thousands of people. and defeated Cai Yang, a general sent by Cao Cao, and killed Cai Yang himself.

Fu Zhi suggested to Yuan Shao: "Our army is numerous, but it is not as brave as Cao's army. However, Cao's army did not have as much food and grass as our army. Therefore, Cao's army is conducive to a rapid battle, and our army is conducive to a lasting battle" but since the Battle of the White Horse has been confronted for four months, and Yuan Shao has lost his patience a little. In August, Yuan Shao ordered the camp to march and approach Guandu. According to the sand ditch, dozens of miles from east to west. Cao Cao also had to divide his camp to resist.

September 1, solar eclipse. Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty issued an edict: the three dukes recommended 2 people of filial piety; Jiuqing, the school captain, the county guard, and the minister of state each recommended 1 person.

In September, Cao's army took the initiative to attack Yuan's army, but failed, and finally chose to return to the camp and hold on. The Yuan army built a dirt mountain outside the Cao army, set up a high oar, and sent crossbowmen to shoot arrows on the tower. Cao Cao accepted the advice of the craftsmen in the army, built a thunderbolt catapult, and bombarded the Yuan army's dirt mountain violently, so that the Yuan army did not dare to climb high and release arrows again, and instead dug tunnels. And Cao's army also fought-for-tat, digging horizontal trenches in his own camp, so the two armies met underground...

If they continued to hold on like this, the result was as expected by Frustration, Cao Jun's food and grass began to fail, and the soldiers were tired. At the same time, the people in the rear were trapped in the levy, and once again set off a wave of rebellion against Cao and Yuan... In the face of the predicament, even Cao Cao himself retreated, and he wrote to Xun Yu, who stayed in Xudu, saying that he planned to withdraw his troops back to Xu County, and then find an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with Yuan's army in the future. Xun Yu replied to express his resolute opposition, saying that the current confrontation between the two armies is precisely the determination of who can persevere to the end and achieve victory. He also said that now that they have been holding each other for half a year, it is the time when the battle situation will definitely change, and they must not sit back. After Cao Cao read Xun Yu's letter, he finally made up his mind not to retreat. He personally summoned the grain transport officer and said to him, "You only need to transport another 15 days of grain, and I will definitely be able to defeat Yuan Shao at that time." After 15 days, I won't give you any more tasks"

In September, Yuan Shao sent Han Meng to escort thousands of grain trucks to Guandu. Cao Cao adopted Xun You's suggestion and sent Xu Huang and Shi Jian to intercept them, defeat Han Meng, and burn Yuan's baggage.

In October, Yuan Shao sent Chun Yuqiong and other five generals to lead more than 10,000 troops to transport grain trucks and stationed them in Wuchao, 40 miles north of Yuan's military camp. Fu Zhu came to see Yuan Shao again, "In order to prevent Cao Cao's sneak attack, Jiang Qi should be sent to lead an army again, so as to echo Chun Yuqiong" But Yuan Shao's attitude towards the many reasonable suggestions of the first strategist Fu Zhu was only one: not listening.

At this time, a person who had an important influence on the outcome of the Battle of Guandu finally appeared: Xu You, Yuan Shao's strategist, came to see Yuan Shao and proposed to take the opportunity to send light cavalry to attack the empty Xu Capital. But Yuan Shao refused, "I should take Cao Cao first" Xu You still wanted to say more, Yuan Shao didn't want to hear it anymore, "I heard that your family broke the law in Yecheng and has been tried and detained." You are still a greedy person for money, such a character, do you still have the face to offer me advice" Xu Yu said both ashamed and angry, and went straight to Cao Ying after leaving the account.

And here, as soon as Cao Cao heard that Xu You was coming, he immediately realized that this was a godsend. I didn't even care about wearing shoes, I stepped out to greet him, stroked my palms and laughed, "Ziyuan (Xu You's word Ziyuan) is here, and the big things are done" After the two entered the account, they sat down, Xu You first asked, "Dare to ask how much grain is left in the public army" Cao Cao replied successively that there was a year and half a year of food. Xu You sneered: "It seems that you don't want to break Yuan Shao." deceived me like this, and I will take my leave" At this time, Cao Cao hurriedly grabbed Xu Yu and told the truth, "There is indeed not much food in the army. At most, he can only eat for a month, "Xu Youdao" is alone, there is no food and grass inside, and there is no rescue outside, which is a critical day. Now I will teach you a way to turn defeat into victory: Yuan Jun has more than 10,000 multipliers, and he is stationed in the old city and Wuchao. The guard will Chun Yu Qiong greedy for a cup and make a mistake. If you lead a light horse and burn its accumulation by surprise, within three days, Yuan's army will be defeated."

Cao Cao was overjoyed and immediately decided to act according to the plan. All the generals felt that this was an adventure, and only Xun You and Jia Xu strongly agreed. Cao Cao left Cao Hong and Xun You to guard the camp. He personally led 5,000 elites, waving the banner of the Yuan army, with the title of man and horse, and took advantage of the night to walk the trail and go straight to the black nest. Everyone has firewood in their hands, and they are going to set fires. When I met a soldier of Yuan's army on the way, he said, "I am waiting for the order of General Yuan to come to protect the grain" and came to Wuchao without danger. When they arrived, they immediately set fire to it and created chaos. At this time, the sky gradually brightened, and under the firelight and daylight, Chun Yuqiong finally determined that there were not many people coming from Cao's army, and immediately ordered the team to be reorganized and go out of the camp to fight. As a result, he was defeated by Cao Cao, and Chun Yuqiong led the defeated troops back to the camp to hold on, waiting for Yuan Shao to send reinforcements to him.

At this time, Yuan Shao also received the news of the attack on Wuchao, and said to his eldest son Yuan Tan, "Then use the plan of encircling Wei to save Zhao, even if Cao Cao can defeat Wuchao, but his lair is captured by us, see where he can go" ordered his two generals Gao Ran and Zhang He to lead troops to attack Cao Ying. Zhang He said, "Cao Cao is good at using soldiers, and there must be precautions in the camp." It's better to save Chun Yuqiong first. Otherwise, if the Cao camp can't be captured, and Wuchao is captured by the Cao army, the big thing will be done" But under Guo Tu's repeated suggestions, Yuan Shao still decided to only send light cavalry to rescue Chun Yuqiong, and attack the camp with heavy troops.

When Yuan Shao's light cavalry arrived at Wuchao, his subordinates reported to Cao Cao that "reinforcements have arrived, please divide the troops and refuse them" Cao Cao did not look back, and said angrily, "Wait for the enemy to come behind me, you will report again" ordered the soldiers to fight desperately, and finally broke Yuan's army, killing more than 1,000 people such as Chun Yuqiong, Wei Yuanjin, Han Juzi, Lu Weihuang, Zhao Rui, etc., and then cut off their noses, cattle and horses. Send it to Yuan Shao to disturb his military morale.

On the other side, Zhang He and Gao Ran also attacked Cao's camp for a long time, so they could only collect troops and return to the camp and make plans again. But Guo Tu was afraid that Yuan Shao would investigate his insistence on 'encircling Wei and saving Zhao' just now, which led to a big defeat, so he wanted to cause trouble and slandered Yuan Shao, "Zhang He is happy with defeat and refuses to serve." is now retired" Yuan Shao was furious, and wanted to punish Zhang He and Gao Lan.

But Zhang and Gao got the news first. In desperation, they chose to go to Cao Ying and surrender. Cao Hong still didn't dare to stand it. Xun You said, "The second will come down, and it will be sincere." Do not doubt" but take it.

At this point in the battle of Guandu, Yuan's army was finally defeated due to disturbance. Yuan Shao, Yuan Tan and his son rode on horseback, only led 800 horsemen, abandoned the army, and fled north across the river. Cao Cao couldn't catch up, and only had time to collect the baggage, books, and treasures that Yuan Shao hurriedly threw away. Cao Cao also ordered all the surrendered Yuan troops to be killed. In the battle of Guandu, Yuan's army suffered more than 70,000 casualties.

Yuan Shao's first strategist Fu Zhu was also captured by Cao Jun. Cao Cao was frustrated with old acquaintances, and said, "Yuan Shao doesn't need you to care, which led to this big defeat." Today's funeral is undecided, why don't you join me in the great cause of "frustration and teaching" uncle, mother and brother, all hanging on to the Yuan family. How can I bring you down? You better kill me," Cao Cao sighed, "If I can get you sooner, the world will be settled." I won't kill you, on the contrary, I will treat you well, I hope you can change your mind" But he was in Cao Ying's heart and Yuan, and he still wanted to return north. Once he tried to escape and was caught. Cao Cao saw that he could not use it for his own use, so he ordered him to be executed and buried thickly.

After the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao seized a large number of letters from the Xudu court and the Cao army and Yuan Shao. The subordinates came to ask what to do? Cao Cao showed a very high emotional intelligence at this time, "When Yuan Shao was strong, he couldn't even protect himself, and went to pat his ass." How much more the multitude? They all burned me with a fire."

Yuan Shao crossed the river and fled to Jiang Yiqu's camp on the north bank of Liyang County, holding Jiang's hand and saying, "I have handed over my life to the general" Jiang Yiqu immediately expressed his loyalty and gave his big tent to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao gave orders to gather the defeated soldiers.

When the news came back to Jizhou, everyone was spreading that if they had listened to Tian Feng's words, there would not have been such a fiasco. At the same time, I felt that Yuan Shao was defeated this time, and he would definitely reuse Tian Feng. However, Tian Feng has a deeper understanding of himself, the lord, "If this battle is won, the lord will be happy, or he may be able to forgive me." Now that the war is defeated, the lord is ashamed to see me, and I will only die" However, Yuan Shao didn't want to see Tian Feng because of the defeat, but he didn't want to kill Tian Feng. Tian Feng's death was also due to another person's slander: Xiao Ji said to Yuan Shao, "Tian Feng knew that Guandu was defeated, and he threw his hands and laughed." said that it was as he expected," Yuan Shao became murderous when he heard this, "Tian Feng dared to laugh at me", so he ordered Tian Feng to be killed.

The two sons of the trial who stayed in Yecheng joined the army, and they were all captured by Cao Cao. Meng Dai, Guo Tu, and Xin Ping came to Yuan Shao one after another and said, "The dictatorship in power is judged, and the clan is strong and the army is strong." Now that his second son is in Cao Ying, he will be resentful, and he must guard against it" Yuan Shao planned to use Meng Dai as the supervisor of the army and go to guard the city on his behalf. At this time, Xiao Ji, who had never been in harmony with the trial, stepped forward and spoke for the trial, "The trial is fierce and upright by nature, and he often admires the festival of the ancients." May the Lord have no doubts. The one whom I fought with him before was a personal affair. What I am talking about today is also a matter of state. The lord must not hurt the hearts of loyal ministers again" Yuan Shao finally decided: still reuse the trial. And after this incident, the two of them also turned enemies into friends and died for the Yuan family one after another.

In October, Li Shu, the Taishou of Lujiang appointed by Sun Ce, wanted to fish in troubled waters in this troubled world and divide one side. He first attacked and killed Yan Xiang, the assassin of Yangzhou, who was appointed by the imperial court. He also lured Mei Gan, Lei Xu, Chen Lan and others who gathered tens of thousands of people between the Jianghuai and Huai River. After Yan Xiang was killed, Cao Cao appointed Liu Fu as the assassin of Yangzhou. However, at that time, five of the six counties of Yangzhou were in the hands of Sun Quan, and only Jiujiang County was ordered by the imperial court of Xudu. Liu Fu came to Hefei County, Jiujiang County, and established state governance. Zhao Huai Mei Gan, Lei Xu and others. In the past few years, the benevolent people have become popular, and tens of thousands of displaced people have returned. So Guangtun Tian, Xingpi Yan. The government and the people have livestock, but they gather all the living beings and set up schools. It is also high as a fortress, with many building blocks and stones, so as to repair and defend the battle.

This year, Cao Cao's Guandu won a great victory, and when he heard that Sun Ce was newly dead, he wanted to take the opportunity to crusade against Jiangdong. At this time, Zhang Hong, the imperial servant who was sent by Sun Ce two years ago to pay tribute to Xudu and was left in the court by Cao Cao, repaid the favor of the deceased lord and strongly advised Cao Cao to make peace with Sun Quan. So Cao Cao named Zhang Hong as the eastern governor of Huiji, and went to canonize Sun Quan as the general and the Taishou of Huiji. At the same time, he summoned the former Yuzhang Taishou Huaxin into his mansion and served as the speaker and the military officer. Zhang Hong returned to Jiangdong again and assisted Sun Quan with Zhang Zhao.

Sun Ce died, and Lu Su prepared to return to the north. Zhou Yu hurriedly came to persuade him. And recommended Lu Su to Sun Quan. The two hit it off at first sight. Even if Zhang Zhao said that Lu Su was young and careless, Sun Quan treated Lu Su more and more. Sun Quan asked: "Now the Han family is in danger. I want to support the Han family like Duke Qi Huan and Duke Wen of Jin, can you assist me" Lu Su replied, "With Cao Cao here, I'm afraid you won't be able to do Qi Huan and Jin Wen." Because the Son of Heaven is in the hands of Cao Cao. Now the Han family cannot be revived, and Cao Cao cannot be eliminated. For the sake of the general's plan, the only way to guard Jiangdong is to observe the changes in the situation in the world. If you can exterminate Huang Zu and Liu Biao and occupy Jingzhou and even the entire Yangtze River, it will be the emperor's business" Sun Quan laughed and said, "I have been a generation of Hanchen, and now I am trying my best to Jiangdong, and I also hope to assist the Han family." I can't consider the emperor's business you are talking about."

Gong Cao Luo Tong persuaded Sun Quan to respect the virtuous and receive the soldiers, recruit the handsome, hire the celebrities, and seek profits and losses diligently. So Zhuge Jin, who avoided the chaos in Jiangdong, was named a long history by Sun Quan and treated as a guest. Lü Meng, a young general who was good at military and soldier training, was appointed by Sun Quan as the Sima of the other department. Once, Sun Quan's mother, Mrs. Wu, once asked Yang Wudu Lieutenant Dong Xi, "Can Jiangdong protect itself?" Dong Xi replied: "The land of Jiangdong has mountains and rivers." The rebellious general (Sun Ce) is kind to the people. The general (Sun Quan) inherited his business, and everyone used their lives. Consul General Zhang Zhao is a minion. With this place and people, what is there to worry about?"

But Sun Quan's cousin, Sun Fu, the Taishou of Luling, didn't see it that way. He thought that this 19-year-old boy could not be the lord of Jiangdong in the troubled times, so he secretly sent someone to contact Cao Cao. After Sun Quan learned about this matter, Sun Quan ordered that all those close to Sun Fu be beheaded, his troops were scattered, and Sun Fu himself was relocated to the east.

In addition, against Li Shu's secession side, he recruited death and rebellion. Sun Quan wrote to Cao Cao, "Li Shu killed the Yan Assassin appointed by the imperial court, and such a rebellious and unscrupulous person should be exterminated as soon as possible." I'm willing to fight against it! But once Li Shu asks you for help, you must not agree" After writing this letter, Sun Quan immediately sent troops to attack Li Shu in Anhui City. Li Shu also really asked Cao Cao for help, but Cao Cao didn't save him. In the end, Li Shu was beheaded and Wancheng was slaughtered. More than 20,000 people from Li Shu's tribe were moved to Wudi.
