The 269th Round: The Consequences of the Victory at Guandu

However, it was said that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao confronted each other in Guandu, and each other won and lost, and Cao Cao's grain and grass gradually ran out, so he wanted to withdraw his army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But at this time, someone suddenly came to report that two generals in Yuan Shao's army had come to take refuge.

These two people are Zhang He Gaolan. Because of the previous attack on Xuchang, coupled with the defeat of Sun Ce's 3,000 soldiers and horses, he was blamed by Yuan Shao. Originally, this matter was just a defeat, but Guo Tu proposed to kill the two.

Fortunately, the two got the news before this, so they didn't stay long, and after killing the guards in Yuan Shao's army, they went straight to Cao Cao.

And their arrival happened to be a turning point in the battle of Guandu.

Yuan Shao's army rations were all stationed in Wuchao, and this news was extremely important to Cao Cao; However, because the army had been consumed too much before this, there were heavy casualties, and there were many deserters, so it was really difficult for Cao Cao to send troops to attack Wuchao.

However, the strategist Xun tried his best to disagree with the public, and asked Cao Cao to transfer 3,000 people from the remaining 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack the black nest.

But the final result was that Cao Cao burned the black nest, and Yuan Shao also came to attack Cao Cao's military camp, both of which suffered heavy losses; However, because he burned all of Yuan Shao's military rations, Cao Cao's morale increased greatly, and he actually defeated Yuan Shao the next day.

Not only that, Yuan Shao was beheaded by Cao Cao before the Yellow River because he crossed the Yellow River too slowly, and the battle of Guandu ended with Cao Cao's tragic victory.

However, when Cao Cao saw Yuan Shao's death, he knew that his son's three brothers were not united, so he transferred 10,000 soldiers and horses from Xuzhou to attack Yecheng, but was repelled by the three brothers of the Yuan family, who hated the same enemy. Although Cao Cao won a miserable victory, he was unable to take Hebei in one go, so he had to return to Xu.

But the accident happened at this time.

Liaodong Gongsun Du occupied the Korean Peninsula for nearly 20 years, lived a luxurious life, had enough soldiers and food, and was like a local emperor; And when he heard that Gongsun Zhan was destroyed by Yuan Shao, he immediately expressed his loyalty to Yuan Shao and was named "Marquis of Xiangping" by Yuan Shao.

After Yuan Shao was defeated by Cao Cao, Gongsun Du immediately rebelled and marched into Youzhou, intending to take Hebei, and then march into the Central Plains. Don't look at the land of Liaodong, there are only a few counties, but the people are fierce and the combat power is amazing. Gongsun Du marched all the way west, taking down the loosely defended Liaoxi and Beiping, and pointed directly at Yuyang and Jixian.

After Yuan Shao's death, because there was no designated heir, the eldest son Yuan Tan succeeded him as the emperor of the new Zhongjia, with Yuan Xi as the assassin of Youzhou, and guarded Jixian County.

Yuan Xi was a weak person, indecisive, and he didn't know what to do in the face of the extremely strong Gongsun Du, so he hid from Yuan Tan and went to contact Xianbei, Karasuma, and the Southern Xiongnu.

"This is Your Majesty's intention, if it is only intentional, we are willing to give money, food, and cloth, as long as we can exterminate Gongsun Du for us!"

As an envoy's comment, at this moment, he is talking about the benefits and disadvantages with Karasuma-sama Qiu Liju; Previously, because of the civil strife in the Southern Xiongnu, Xin Ping pinned his hopes on Xianbei, but he never expected that the road to Xianbei was blocked, and in desperation, Xin Ping could only come to Xianbei's Karasuma tribe for help.

The Karasuma tribe is stationed in the north of the White Wolf Mountain, the people are fierce, the army is strong, when Cao Cao went north to conquer Wuhuan, if it were not for a lot of luck elements, I am afraid that he would have died in the White Wolf Mountain.

The Beidi tribe, which was originally abandoned by the people of the Central Plains, now wants to ask for their help, and even Xin Ping feels very ashamed.

When Karasuma Master Qiu Liju heard about Xin Ping's request, he discussed with the courtiers around him a little, and then agreed to Xin Ping's request, but they asked for more grain, grass, gold and silver than before, which made Xin Ping very unacceptable.

"My lord, my Zhong family is in ruins now, and Your Excellency is taking advantage of the fire to rob like this, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!"

Qiu Liju's eyes changed slightly, and he said in broken Chinese: "You, don't give it?" ”

"It's not that I don't give it, it's really too much for adults, I can't afford it!"

Qiu Liju's eyes were full of anger and he was about to have a seizure, but he didn't expect his son Lou Ban to suddenly say in Xianbei language: "Father, Yuan Shao has been kind to us many times, why don't we just agree first!" ”

Qiu Liju looked at Lou Ban with puzzled eyes, and replied, "What do you have to worry about?" ”

Lou Ban said very simply: "He won't give it, I'll take it myself!" ”

Qiu Liju was overjoyed when he heard this, knowing that since the time of Gongsun Zhan, outsiders like him have been quite oppressed, and many times they have even been excluded from the Great Wall. Now that I am taking this opportunity, won't I be able to enter the customs in the name of justice?

At that time, after defeating Gongsun Du, he can release the horse on the spot, why not?

Because the two communicated in Xianbei language, Xin Ping couldn't understand it at all, and after seeing Qiu Liju nodding and agreeing, Xin Ping was overjoyed, so he left satisfied.

"Father, when will I leave?"

"Wait, when they are both defeated, I will take the opportunity to go south, kill Gongsun Du first, and then let the horses around......" Qiu Liju said halfway, his eyes became much more serious, "I can't say, I can still use this to gain a foothold in the Central Plains!" ”

Since many years ago, the Han people have gradually assimilated the surrounding ethnic minorities, and the Xianbei Xiongnu are no exception. It is precisely because of the transmission of culture that the northern nomads are no longer satisfied with the status quo, and they always plan to look for opportunities to go south to the Central Plains to experience the strength of the farming people.

"You immediately write a letter to Lord Kebineng and state this matter with him, and then we will set out from Liaoxi to attack Youzhou, and let Lord Kebineng attack and merge the state, and the Central Plains is just around the corner!"

Yuan Xi didn't know that he had fallen into the trap of the Karasuma people, and he was complacent that he had taken advantage of a lot.

Because of the long-term contempt of the Hu people, he simply couldn't pay attention to the gradually developing Beidi.

After many days, Gongsun Du led 30,000 troops to attack Jixian, and Yuan Xi relied on the only remaining 8,000 soldiers and horses in his hands to hold on, and it seemed that the next moment, Karasuma's reinforcements would appear from the sky.

The two armies fought for three days, Yuan Xi's side was finally exhausted, and when the city was about to be broken, Qiu Liju finally led 20,000 Karasuma cavalry to come, not only defeated Gongsun Du, but also killed Gongsun Du and all his family members!

And Jixian County, which was about to be captured, also failed to escape the clutches of Qiu Liju.

Qiu Liju took Jixian without blood, ordered his subordinates to set fire to and loot, beheaded Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi, and took Liaodong, Liaoxi, Yuyang and Jixian in one go by taking Gongsun Du's death.

To the east of Youzhou, all of them were in dire straits, and the people were displaced and moved south. Soon after, Qiu Liju took the ancient and Daijun and other places in one go, and brought all the territories of Youzhou under his command.

Youzhou has truly become a purgatory on earth.

Not only that, in the winter of the fifth year of Jian'an, with the help of Qiu Liju to take Jixian County, the Xianbei tribe in the north contacted the Xianbei people in Bingzhou to go south, and defeated Shi Gaogan, the assassin of Bingzhou, and occupied all the territory of Bingzhou in just two months.

However, Kebineng's vision is more long-term than that of Qiu Liju, because of the influence of Han culture, Kebineng reuses and strengthens the state, vigorously develops animal husbandry and agricultural trade, and today's Youzhou is like two places.

Due to the relatively moderate policy of Kebineng, the people of Bingzhou did not move, and even began to gradually accept the leadership of this outsider.

Yuan Tan, whose territory has shrunk, now only has Jizhou and Qingzhou left.

In the spring of the sixth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao went north from Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and took Qingzhou and Jizhou in one go, killing Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang.

Cao Cao originally wanted to continue to take Bingzhou and Youzhou, but he didn't want to be defeated by the two forces, so he could only leave Zhang Liao, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan and others to stay in Jizhou, beware of the Hu people from continuing to go south.

In the autumn of the same year, Xun Yu discussed with Dong Zhao, intending to make Cao Cao ...... Enter the Duke of Wei.
