In September, Cao Cao's army crossed Weishui. Defeated the challenge of Ma Chao and others several times. The generals of Guanzhong once again sent envoys to ask for peace. This time, in addition to cutting the land, the conditions also added the gift of children as hostages. Cao Cao wanted to not allow it, but Jia Xu said on the side, "You can fake it." Divide the horse, Han" Cao Cao immediately nodded and said good.

The next day, Han Sui asked to meet Cao Cao to discuss peace. The two met in front of the two armies and under the noses of the armies, but Cao Cao didn't say a word about the peace, and only talked with Han Sui about the old things in Kyoto when the two were together, and laughed with his hands. Not only that, Cao Cao also took the initiative to step forward and said to the soldiers brought by Han Sui, "You all want to see Cao Gong, right?" I'm just an ordinary person, I don't have four eyes or two mouths, but I'm just a little more intelligent than mortals."

Then, Cao Cao and Han Sui returned to their respective camps. Ma Chao immediately came to ask Han Sui, "What did Cao Cao say about the peace?" Han Sui replied, "He didn't say anything, just said some old things", which made Ma Chao suspicious. A few days later, Cao Cao wrote another letter to Han Sui, but the letter was smeared everywhere. After Ma Chao read this letter, he decided that Han Sui had some secret that he didn't want him to know and deliberately changed it, so he naturally became even more suspicious.

Cao Cao saw that the discord plan had been successful, so he ordered a decisive battle with the Guanzhong coalition forces on the 15th. At the beginning of the decisive battle, Cao Cao first provoked him with light cavalry, and then ordered the tiger and leopard cavalry to assault. Because Ma Chao and Han Sui were suspicious of each other and could not cooperate, the allied forces in Guanzhong were defeated in this battle: Cheng Yi and Li Kan were killed; Han Sui and Ma Chao fled back to Liangzhou; Yang Qiu fled to Anding County.

Guanzhong was pacified, and Cao Cao also answered the generals' questions one by one.

In October, Cao Cao marched north to Yang Qiu and surrounded the city of Anding. Yang Qiu surrendered, and Cao Cao ordered the restoration of his title, leaving behind to pacify the local people. In December, Cao Cao withdrew his troops and ordered Xiahou Yuan to stay in Chang'an. Appointed Zhang Ji as Jing Zhaoyin. The rebellion of Han Sui and Ma Chao, Sanfu and many counties in Hongnong County responded, but only the people of Hedong had no dissent. Cao Cao's westward expedition also relied on Hedong County for military rations. At the end of the war, there were still more than 20 thousand grains left, and Cao Cao ordered: to increase the rank of Hedong Taishou Duji to 2,000 stones.

Cao Cao's expedition was completely unplanned. Because he originally wanted Zhong Xuan to go to Zhang Lu. Like Han and Ma, Liu Zhang, who was stimulated by Cao Cao's move, was also in the state. So, Zhang Song began to fool Liu Zhang, suggesting that Liu Bei be invited to Shu and preemptively destroy Zhang Lu. In this way, even if Cao Cao comes again, we don't have to be afraid.

Liu Zhang was fooled, and immediately ordered Fa Zheng to lead 4,000 people to welcome Liu Bei. The chief bookkeeper Huang Quanquan admonished, but Liu Zhang did not listen to it, and transferred Huang Quan to the magistrate of Guanghan County. Engaged in Wang Ti hanging upside down at the state gate to advise, Liu Zhang also did not listen.

Fa Zheng arrived in Jingzhou and strongly persuaded Liu Bei to take the opportunity to seize Yizhou. Liu Bei was still hesitant. Pang Tong said, "Jingzhou is desolate, and the characters are exhausted. And with Sun Quan in the east and Cao Cao in the north, how to develop? Yizhou has a million hukou and fertile land. This is the capital of the great cause," Liu Bei said, "Now the person who is competing with me for the world is Cao Cao." So everything is the opposite of Cao Cao, and great things will come to pass. Hurry up, I'll be lenient. with violence, I will be benevolent. me, I am loyal. Now if you are greedy for small profits and lose your faith in the world, what is the difference between it and Cao Cao "Pang Tongdao" In today's troubled times, you can't stick to it. If I don't take it, it will be for the benefit of others. Is this good for Liu Zhang? If the general can accomplish great things, he will not lose his righteousness if he is crowned a big country again."

Liu Bei finally failed to resist the temptation and listened to Pang Tong's words. Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun were left to guard Jingzhou. He brought Pang Tong and tens of thousands of foot soldiers into Shu.

When Sun Quan learned that Liu Bei had entered Shu, he had the heart to regain Jingzhou. Someone was sent to pick up her sister first, and Mrs. Sun originally wanted to bring her nominal son, 5-year-old Liu Chan, back to Jiangdong together. It was intercepted by Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun and recaptured.

When Liu Zhang learned that Liu Bei had entered Shu, he ordered all counties along the way to make offerings to Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei would feel at home, and bequeathed hundreds of millions of dollars before and after. Liu Bei came to Ba County, Ba County was too strict and sighed, "This is really 'sitting alone on the poor mountain, letting the tiger defend itself'" Liu Bei ruled Jiangzhou in Ba County, and went upriver from Dianjiang all the way north to Fu County, Guanghan County. Liu Zhang personally led more than 30,000 horses to meet. Zhang Song asked Fa Zheng to suggest to Liu Bei, so he took advantage of this to take down Liu Zhang. was rejected by Liu Bei, "big things should not be rushed", Pang Tong also persuaded Liu Bei, "If you hold a Hongmen banquet like this, the lord can get Yizhou in one fell swoop." How can you do such a thing?"

So Liu Zhang, Liu Bei, and their respective subordinates all saw each other very happily, and spent more than 100 days in a happy drink. Liu Zhang recommended Liu Bei as the captain of the Great Sima and Sili. Liu Bei also recommended Liu Zhang as the general of Zhenxi and the pastor of Yizhou. Liu Zhang allocated a large number of soldiers, armor, equipment, and goods to Liu Bei, and handed over the command of the Baishui Army to Liu Bei, with only one request: ask Liu Bei to attack Zhang Lu. Liu Bei also readily agreed, and brought more than 30,000 soldiers and horses sent by himself and Liu Zhang to the north. Liu Zhang returned to the CD, but Liu Bei only stopped when he arrived in Jiameng County, and did not continue to go north to ask for Lu, but instead cultivated kindness to win people's hearts.

In January 212, Cao Cao returned to Chengcheng. Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to give Cao Cao three privileges: praise and worship without a name, enter the court, and go to the palace with a sword. than Xiao He, the founding prime minister of the early Han Dynasty, there is one more item of "praise and worship".

When Cao Cao went west to conquer Guanzhong, Tian Yin and Su Bo, the land of Hejian, rebelled. Inciting the two states of You, Hebei. Cao Pi, who stayed in Yecheng, wanted to go to the expedition in person, but after listening to Chang Lin's advice, he sent the general Jia Xin to go instead. After the rebellion was put down, more than 1,000 people surrendered. Everyone used Cao Cao's old law of 'those who surround and surrender will not be pardoned', and advocated killing these descendants. But Cheng Yu resolutely objected, "That is an expedient measure to use heavy codes in troubled times." Now the world has decided that this method should not be practiced again. Even if you want to do it, it's best to report to Cao Gong first. The general was ordered to do so because of a temporary urgency. Now that these people are all under Jia Xin's control, it should be handled by Cao Gong" Cao Pi accepted Cheng Yu's opinion and reported the matter to Cao Cao. Cao Cao quickly ordered all these people to be released, and highly praised Cheng Yu for "not only being good at military planning, but also good at handling the contact between my father and son"

In this battle, Guoyuan reported the number of beheadings, and it was not falsely reported, it was all true, "The conquest of foreign criminals and the false report of war exploits are to sensationalize the people." Now it is the quelling of civil strife, which is caused by our ineffective governance of the country. If I make any more false reports, I will be ashamed."

In May, Wei Wei Ma Teng was sentenced for being implicated by his son Ma Chao, and the three clans were wiped out.

In July, Liang Xing, one of the ten generals in Guanzhong who rebelled with Ma Chao last year, hid in Lantian County after being defeated by Cao Cao. After Cao Cao withdrew his troops, he dared to come out and invade Zuo Fengyi. Cause fear in the counties. Zuo Fengyi Zheng Hun organized the officials and the people to repair the city garrison, and ordered the people to be recruited to chase out the thieves, and after getting their property and women, 7/10 of all the rewards were given to the meritorious people, which stimulated the climax of the whole people catching thieves. Then he sent people who were known to be gracious to the valley where the thieves were hiding to announce and lure, and finally ordered the county magistrates to return to their own counties and do their own work. Soon, Liang Xing's troops were scattered, and Liang Xing took some of his friends to defend Dun County. Cao Cao ordered Xiahou Yuan, who was stationed in Chang'an, to send troops and pacify it with Zheng Hun. In the end, Liang Xing was killed, and the rest of the party was peaceful.

On September 21, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to crown the prince Liu Xi as the king of Jiyin, Liu Yi as the king of Shanyang, Liu Miao as the king of Jibei, and Liu Dun as the king of the East China Sea.

Zhang Hong suggested to Sun Quan that the mountains and rivers in Moling County, Danyang County, could be governed. Two years ago, when Liu Bei went to Beijing to see Sun Quan asking for a loan from Jingzhou, he also passed by Moling, and also persuaded Sun Quan to use this place as a place to govern. In September, Sun Quan officially moved to Moling, and changed his name to Jianye, and built a stone city. Later, he accepted Lü Meng's suggestion to build a dock at the mouth of the water, preparing to reject Cao.

In October, Cao Cao personally led a large army, claiming to be 400,000 foot cavalry, to conquer Sun Quan in the east. Before this expedition, Xun Yu, Cao Cao's first strategist, finally led to the tragedy of his life due to political disagreements with Cao Cao. The incident originated from Dong Zhao contacting a group of civil and military officials to build momentum for Cao Cao, so that the emperor could crown Cao Cao as the prince of the country and give him Jiuxi to show his special honor. and launched Xun Yu, the representative of the famous ministers of the scholar clan who had been closely related to Cao Cao, to take the lead in doing this. But you must know: the Duke of Guo has been abolished since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, and the Duke of Feng will build a principality, which is not a trivial matter! Xun Yu, who was extremely politically sensitive and loyal to the Han Dynasty, immediately realized the terrible nature of the incident. In addition, Jia Jiuxi has also become a thorn in the hearts of all Hanchen since Wang Mang. Xun Yu immediately refuted Dong Zhao's proposal: "Cao Gongxing is a righteous soldier, originally to save the country for the Kuang Dynasty, with loyalty and sincerity, and to defend the fact of retreat." We should be gentlemen who love our lover and virtue, and we should not do this, so that Cao Gong will bear the infamy of future generations" But at this moment, Cao Cao is no longer the rebel soldier and the rioter, but the Dongjun Taishou, Yanzhou Mu, Sikong, and Wuping Marquis of the royal family, Cao Cao's ambition is getting bigger and bigger, and he is no longer willing to be just a Han prime minister. After Xun Yu's opposition was known to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was greatly displeased. Before going to Sun Quan, he specially went to the imperial court and asked Xun Yu to come to Qiao County to labor on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and then left Xun Yu behind. He was ordered to accompany him on the expedition as a servant, a doctor of Guanglu, and a military officer of the Prime Minister's Mansion. When he arrived in Shouchun, Xun Yu had to stay to recuperate due to illness. After that, Xun Yu's death was recorded in two ways in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms": Chen Shou said that he was worried to death; Pei Songzhi's note said that Cao Cao ordered someone to send Xun Yu a food box. Xun Yu opened it and saw that it was empty, and there was nothing. Cao Cao is hinting to Xun Yu that if you want to eat the big Han Yulu, I will let you have nothing to eat, and Xun Yu finally committed suicide by drinking medicine.

This year, Pang Tong presented Liu Bei with three strategies for taking Shu: the best strategy was to lead the elite soldiers to travel day and night to attack the CD; The plan is to pretend that Jingzhou is in an emergency and needs to return to the east. The Baishui guards Yang Huai and Gao Pei will come to see them off. Take the opportunity to take down the two, and then kill the CD; The next plan is to return to Baidi City, Yufu County, Ba County, and return to Jingzhou empty, and Xu will make the following picture. Liu Bei adopted Pang Tong's plan.

And Cao Cao attacked Sun Quan, Sun Quan called for help to his ally Liu Bei, and also gave Liu Bei the most perfect excuse in a timely manner. Liu Bei personally wrote to Liu Zhang, saying that Cao Cao's threat was much greater than that of Zhang Lu. I need to go back to save Jingzhou now, and then I'll help you fight Zhang Lu when I'm done. Now I want to borrow 10,000 soldiers and 10,000 grains from you. Liu Zhang was very unhappy after receiving the letter: I have given you so many things, but you have been in Jiameng for a year, and you haven't farted. Now you have to go back to Jingzhou, and you have to ask me to borrow something?

But in order to avoid a stalemate in the relationship between the two families, Liu Zhang finally agreed to borrow 4,000 soldiers and 5,000 grains. And this gave Liu Bei an excuse, "I came to defend you against a strong enemy, but you are so stingy with money, how can you make the scholar serve and fight to the death"

And the news that Liu Bei was going to return to the east also deceived and made Zhang Song anxious. He hurriedly wrote to Liu Bei and Fa Zheng, "Today's big thing is about to be completed, how can I leave this", but this letter was obtained by Zhang Song's brother, Zhang Su, Taizong of Guanghan. Zhang Su was afraid that he would be in trouble, so he hurriedly went to surrender to Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang woke up from a dream and ordered Zhang Song to be beheaded, and sent a document to the generals of Guan Shu, ordering them not to communicate with Liu Bei again, but it was too late. Liu Bei took the opportunity to officially turn his face with Liu Zhang. First, Yang Huai and Gao Pei, the commanders of the Baishui Army, were summoned and beheaded. Then he ordered Huang Zhong and Zhuo Ying to set off first, and Liu Bei went to Baishui Pass and his soldiers, and then went to meet Huang Zhong and Zhuo Ying to capture Fu County, Guanghan County.

In this year, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to the three counties of Dangyin, Chaoge and Lin Xi in Hanoi County; 4 counties of Weiguo, Dunqiu, Dongwuyang, and Fagan in Dongjun; 5 counties of Julu County, including Gauntao, Quzhou, Nanhe, Guangping and Rencheng; The three counties of Xiangguo, Handan, and Yiyang in Zhao County were all under the jurisdiction of Wei County.

On January 3, 213, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty issued an edict: the 14 states in the world will be divided into the 9 states of Yang, Jing, Yu, Yan, Xu, Qing, Hebei, Yong, and Yi recorded in the "Yu Gong" (Yizhou in "Yu Gong" is called Liangzhou) and 2 states will be merged into Jizhou; Jiaozhou was merged into Jingzhou; Liangzhou was merged into Yongzhou; Among the 7 counties of Sili, Hedong, Hanoi, Zuofengyi, and Youfufeng, 4 counties were merged into Jizhou; Hongnong and Henan 2 counties were merged into Yuzhou; Jing Zhaoyin was incorporated into Yongzhou.

In January, Cao Cao's 400,000 troops marched to the mouth of the river, broke through Sun Quan's camp in Jiangxi, and captured his capital governor Sun Yang. Sun Quan led an army of 70,000 to confront Cao Cao for more than a month.

Once, Sun Quan personally took a light boat and went deep into Cao's camp tent to watch the virtual reality. Cao Cao ordered the bow and crossbow to be fired indiscriminately, and Sun Quan was to be shot. Sun Quan was not afraid and received arrows from his boat. When one side of the ship was about to be overturned, Sun Quan ordered the ship to turn around and receive arrows on the other side. When the arrows are flat, it is returned (this should be the historical fact of "Zhuge Liang's grass boat borrowing arrows" in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms") Cao Cao looked at the Wu army from afar and sighed, "Giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou." Like Liu Biao's two sons, they are simply guinea dogs."
