Cao Cao ordered the two counties of Anyang and Xicheng in Hanzhong County to be divided into Xicheng County and placed as Taishou. It also divided the tin and Shangyong counties, and placed the capital captain.

Sima Yi and Liu Ye suggested to Cao Cao that they should take advantage of the momentum of conquering Hanzhong to go south to Yizhou, and they would definitely be able to eliminate Liu Bei. However, I don't know what Cao Cao had in mind, so he refused, and said, "People's hearts are bitter." After seven days, Cao Cao asked Liu Ye again, "Is it okay to send troops now?" Liu Ye replied, "It is a small decision, and it cannot be attacked"

Cao Cao then ordered the withdrawal of the army. Xiahou Yuan was appointed as the general of the capital, and Zhang He, Xu Huang and other generals were left behind in Hanzhong. Du Xi was appointed as the commander of the horse and supervised the affairs of Hanzhong. Du attacked Suihuai and enlightened, and moved more than 80,000 Hanzhong people to Luoyang and Chengcheng. It's just that when Cao Cao came here more than three years later, he might regret that he couldn't follow the advice of Sima Yi and Liu Ye at that time, so the earth has already changed! Not only was Xiahou Yuan, the beloved general of his own clan, killed, but also half of Hanzhong County fell into the hands of Liu Bei, and he was never able to take it back.

In August, Sun Quan personally led an army of 100,000 to attack Hefei, which was garrisoned by more than 7,000 people led by Zhang Liao, Li Dian, and Le Jin. Before Cao Cao marched west to Zhang Lu, he had expected that Sun Quan might take advantage of the situation to attack Hefei, and had made a secret letter in advance and handed it to Xue Yi, the protector of Hefei, with the words "thief to Naifa" written on the side of the secret letter.

Sun Quan's army arrived, and the generals jointly opened the secret letter. I saw that there was Cao Cao's handwritten handwriting inside, "If Sun Quanzhi is there, Generals Zhang and Li will go to war, and General Le will guard." The generals looked at each other and didn't know what they meant. Zhang Liao spoke first, "This is to teach us to take the initiative to attack, to break its sharpness, to calm the heart of the army, and then to defend it" Le Jin said, "The enemy is outnumbered, and we should only stick to it" Zhang Liao said angrily "Success or failure in this first battle." If you are suspicious, Zhang Liao is willing to fight alone" Li Dian has always been not on good terms with Zhang Liao, but at this time he decided to support Zhang Liao because of Cao Cao's piece of paper "This is a major national event, and I will not forget justice because of personal regrets." I am willing to go to war with the general."

That night, Zhang Liao selected 800 people who dared to die in the army and ordered to kill cattle and have a full meal. The next morning, Zhang Liao put on armor and held a halberd, rushed to the front, shouted his name, and rushed into the Wu army. One person killed dozens of Wu soldiers and beheaded the second general. Sun Quan was frightened, hurriedly climbed the high mound, and defended himself with a long halberd. Zhang Liao had only 800 men with him, and Sun Quan ordered them to be surrounded. Seeing this, Zhang Liao hurriedly rushed through a bloody road and escaped from the encirclement with dozens of people around him. But at this time, the Wei soldiers who were still trapped in the encirclement shouted loudly, "The general abandons me", Zhang Liao turned back and killed everyone, and rescued everyone from the encirclement. This first battle lasted from the morning to the middle of the day, and the Wu army was invincible, and no one dared to be Zhang Liao, so he was angry. Zhang Liao retreated into the city and began to strengthen the garrison.

The Wu army attacked Hefei for more than ten days, but could not conquer it, and Sun Quan had to order the withdrawal of the army. The Wu army withdrew little by little, and after Sun Quan led the generals to break off in the north of Xiaoyaojin, he was discovered by Zhang Liao from afar, and he led his troops and horses to cover and kill. Gan Ning, Lü Meng and other generals fought hard to resist the enemy, and Ling Tong led his own troops to guard Sun Quan, and after sending Sun Quan out of the encirclement of the Wei soldiers safely, he returned to his horse to engage Zhang Liao. This battle became the Wu army outnumbered. Sun Quan's own army was almost completely annihilated, and Ling Tong suffered several wounds.

Sun Quan rode to Shangjin Bridge, but saw that the south of the bridge had been demolished by Zhang Liao in advance. was in a hurry, Sun Quan was in a dilemma. At this time, Gu Li, who was close to the prison, asked Sun Quan to back off a little and control the horses. Guli whipped him hard in the back. The steed leapt into the air and flew over the bridge. In Xiaoyao Jinnan, He Qi led 3,000 people to respond, and Sun Quan finally escaped from danger. After this battle, Zhang Liao's name was so powerful that he could even stop babies crying at night.

Sun Quan ordered a banquet to suppress the shock, and named Guli as the Marquis of Duting. He Qi wept and admonished, "The Supreme Lord, you must be serious. Today is almost a disaster. The crowd is terrified, and it can be a lifelong commandment" Sun Quan personally wiped away He Qi's tears and said, "Be careful, not only the scholar"

In September, Ba, Yishuai Puhu, Du Hao, and Ren Yue each led their crowd and joined the imperial court. Cao Cao ordered the division of Ba County into three, appointing Pu Hu as the Taishou of Badong, Du Hao as the Taishou of Brazil, and Ren Youyue as the Taishou of Ba County, all of whom were feudal marquis.

In September, Liu Xie issued an edict allowing Cao Cao to make the princes and ministers in the name of the Son of Heaven. In October, Cao Cao set up the titles of Marquis, Marquis of Guanzhong, Marquis of Guannei, and Five Doctors, and the previous Marquis of Guannei and Guannei, a total of 6 ranks and 18 titles, and the title of official was awarded to reward military merits.

In November, Zhang Lu formally surrendered to the imperial court. He was named the general of Zhennan and the marquis of Langzhong by Cao Cao. Zhang Lu's five sons and Yan Pu were also marquis. Cheng Yin, one of the ten generals in Guanzhong, Hou Xuan and Ma Chao's subordinate Pang De, who rebelled with Ma Chao at the beginning, also surrendered with Zhang Lu. Cao Cao ordered the restoration of Cheng Yin and the elected officials, and named Pang De as the general of Liyi.

When Liu Bei returned to Jiangzhou from the public security, when Zhang Wei was defeated by Cao Cao and Zhang Lunan fled to Bazhong, Huang Quan said to Liu Bei, "If Hanzhong is lost, Bajun is also in danger." Now we should go to support Zhang Lu" Liu Bei immediately sent Huang Quan to lead troops to meet Zhang Lu. However, it was too late, and Zhang Lu had already surrendered to Cao Cao. Huang Quan could only retreat and defeat Pu Hu, Du Hao, and Ren Yousanyi.

Cao Cao ordered Zhang He to march into Danqu County, Brazil County, and to move all the people of Sanba to Hanzhong. Liu Bei sent Brazil Taishou Zhang Fei to refuse Zhang He for more than 50 days. Later, Zhang Fei used a strategy to attack Wakou and defeated Zhang He. After Zhang He's defeat he retreated to Nanzheng, Liu Bei also returned to CD.

Cao Cao ordered the relocation of more than 5,000 soldiers under the former Han Sui and Ma Chao. He also appointed Zhao Yan, the right Fufeng Taishou, as the protector of Guanzhong. Later, he asked Zhao Yan to levy and send 1,200 soldiers to Hanzhong County to help defend the palace, which was supervised by the Yin Bureau. It's just that these soldiers were forced to go to Hanzhong, and none of them wanted to go. So Zhao Yan escorted the troops to the mouth of the valley, and before they could return, the troops rebelled. Fortunately, Zhao Yan handled it properly, so it didn't cause a big disaster.

In February 216, Cao Cao returned to Zhencheng. On March 3, Cao Cao personally cultivated the field.

On April 25, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty issued an edict: the 62-year-old Cao Cao's title was upgraded to one level and promoted to the king of Wei. In May, Cao Cao's daughter was named a princess and gave Tang Muyi.

Cao Cao entered the Jue, and Yang Xun, recommended by Cui Yan, praised the merits. was ridiculed as Xi Shifu's hypocrisy, and accused Cui Yan of improper recommendation. Cui Yan wrote to Deng Xun, "I have read your above table, and it is really good." It's all about time. will be when there is a change" as a result, and was reported by the enemy "arrogant and resentful, meaning inferior" Cao Cao was furious and ordered Cui Yan to be imprisoned and made a vain. However, the enemy still did not let Cui Yan go, and continued to report that "Cui Yan looked directly at the guests, as if he was blind", and finally Cao Cao ordered Cui Yan to be killed.

In the era of Emperor Wei Ming, Cui Yan's younger brother Cui Lin once discussed the people of Jizhou with Chen Qun, an important minister of the imperial court at that time, Cui Lin called Cui Yan the leader, but Chen Qun did not think so, "Cui Yanzhi does not exist, what is the way of the foot" This sentence angered Cui Lin, and ridiculed each other, "That is, if you are like all people, good feet are expensive"

Mao Jue, who was in charge of the recommendation power with Cui Yan, was unhappy when he heard that Cui Yan had died innocently. It was also reported that Mao Jue was resentful, and Cao Cao also ordered Mao Jue to be imprisoned. Huanjie and Heqia pleaded for Mao Jue, but Cao Cao didn't listen. The duo pressed for a fair trial of the case. In the end, Mao Jue was released from prison and dismissed and went home.

In the case of Mao Jue, Cao Zhi's cronies, Xi Cao Peng Ding Yi contributed a lot to it. Mao Jue was convicted, Ding Yi was in the limelight for a while, and the crowd looked sideways in fear. Xu Yi offended Ding Yi, was slandered by Ding Yi, and served as the Taishou of Wei County, and was later spared by Huan Rank. He Kui offended Ding Yi, and his boss Fu Xuan persuaded him, "If you don't want to end up like Mao Jue, it's better to pat Ding Yi's ass" As a result, He Kui Zhengse refused, "Unrighteous people can only harm themselves, how can they harm others?" With the heart of a traitor, standing in the court, it has lasted for a long time"

Daijun Wuhuan Pufulu and other three people are all called Shan Yu, arrogant and arrogant, and do not accept the jurisdiction of Daijun Taishou. In May, Cao Cao appointed Pei Qian as the Taishou of the Acting County and prepared to equip him with elite soldiers. was rejected by Pei Qian to go to the post "with a plan", and with grace and power, Pu Fulu and his marquis finally took the initiative to come to the court.

The Southern Xiongnu lived in the Seyne for a long time, and they were the same as the household and did not pay tribute. And the hukou breeds, and it is difficult to prohibit immersion. People of insight have seen the hidden dangers in this and reminded Cao Cao to take precautions as soon as possible. When Cao Cao was promoted to the king of Wei, the Southern Xiongnu called Chuquan Shan Yucha to send envoys to congratulate. Cao Cao was afraid that his appearance was not enough to convince the public, so he once ordered Cui Yan, who had "sparse eyebrows, four feet long, and very dignified", to be his stand-in, and he stood next to him with a knife. However, this envoy of the Southern Xiongnu had extraordinary eyesight, and after returning to Huchuquan, Shan Yu said, "King Wei Yawang is very." However, the person who catches the knife at the head of the bed is a true hero."

In July, Hu Chuquan Shan entered the Wei Dynasty to see him. Cao Cao ordered it to stay in Zhencheng and supply cotton, silk, money, and grain every year, according to the standards of the liehous. His descendants passed on his name. The entire Southern Xiongnu was divided into five parts, and the right Xian King went to the prison country. Each ministry set up the Xiongnu nobles as the commander, and the Han people as the Sima, as the ministry supervisors. The aim is to disperse its forces and prevent it from becoming rampant. However, in this way, the Hu people were scattered in the interior. The Huayi boundary gradually collapsed. This is probably not what Cao Cao expected. Hu Chuquan's brother is the previous Shan Yu Fuluo, and the son of Yu Fuluo is the current Zuoxian King Liu Bao. And Liu Bao's son is Liu Yuan, who established himself as the king of Han more than 88 years later! The gravedigger of the Western Jin Dynasty and the leader of the Hun tribe of the first Hu in the Five Chaos of China!

In August, Cao Cao named Zhong Xuan as the prime minister of Wei. Set up Zongzheng and Fengchang official positions.

In October, Cao Cao personally held the golden drum, trained the soldiers to advance and retreat, and prepared to personally conquer Sun Quan. In November, the army reached Peiguo County. In this personal expedition, Cao Cao's wife Bian, Cao Pi, Cao Pi and Zhen's sons and daughters, Cao Rong, and Princess Dongxiang all went out with the army. Zhen stayed in Yecheng due to illness.

This year, Liu Xi, the king of Langya, plotted to cross the river, but the matter was leaked and he was killed by Cao Cao's order. National division.

In January 217, Cao Cao led his army to Juchao County, and Sun Quan led his army to Wetsuwu. In February, the two sides went to war. This time it was Gan Ning of Soochow who was in the limelight.

Gan Ning selected more than 10,000 athletes and went to attack Cao Ying that night. When he arrived at Cao Ying, he pulled out the antlers and rushed in with a shout. Cao Bing panicked, was slashed by Gan Ning in the camp, beheaded dozens of levels, and returned to the camp victoriously, and more than 100 warriors did not lose a single person. Sun Quan was overjoyed, rewarded thousands of silk horses, and a hundred sharp blades, and said, "Cao Cao has Zhang Liao, and there is Gan Ning alone." enough to fight each other" (Historical records record that the battle of Ganning seems to have been fought at the mouth of the Wet Mouth in 213.) But the Battle of Xiaoyaojin was in 215. Looking at Sun Quan's words, there seems to be a contradiction. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" places "Ganning Hundred Horsemen Robbing Cao Ying" after "Zhang Liaowei Zhen Xiaoyaojin")

In March, Sun Quan sent Xu Shen to meet Cao Cao to ask for surrender. Cao Cao also reported the envoy to repair and vowed to remarry. Then Cao Cao left the 26th Army of Xiahou Dun, the governor of Cao Ren and Zhang Liao, to settle in the nest, and he himself prepared to withdraw the army. Sun Quan was ready to leave Zhou Tai to garrison the beard. Zhu Ran, Xu Sheng and others are all under its control. But because Zhou Tai was from a poor family, these people were not convinced for a while.

So Sun Quan ordered the generals of the conference to hold a banquet. At the banquet, Sun Quan ordered Zhou Tai to undress, so that everyone could see the scars on Zhou Tai's body. Sun Quan asked about the origin of the scars one by one, and Zhou Tai answered them one by one, and all the generals were moved. After finishing speaking, Sun Quan personally put on Zhou Tai's clothes again, put his arm in tears and said, "Qing did not hesitate to kill on the battlefield, resulting in dozens of wounds, and his skin is like a portrayal." How can you not treat each other with flesh and blood, and entrust the secretary with a heavy responsibility" After the banquet, when Sun Quan returned to the camp, he ordered Zhou Tai to lead soldiers and horses to escort them along the way, and beat drums and horns to advocate out. The generals are obedient.

When Sun Quan was in the mouth of the water, Jiang Qin often called Xu Sheng's kindness in Sun Quan's ear. Sun Quan felt strange: "When you were the right protector and stationed in Xuancheng County, Danyang County, your tun officials broke the law, wasn't they beheaded by Xu Sheng, who was the commander of Wuhu County?" Aren't you two having an enmity?" Jiang Qin replied, "Today's major matter is undecided, and the ministers should seek talents for the country, how dare they coerce personal hatred to hide the virtuous"

In April, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty issued an edict: Cao Cao, the king of Wei, was allowed to set up the banner of the Son of Heaven, and he was called a police officer when he entered and exited.

In June, Cao Cao named Huaxin as the imperial historian of the Wei State. Set up the rank of Captain of the Guard.

In August, Cao Cao issued the third order of the "Three Orders for Seeking Talents".

In September, Cao Cao returned to Yecheng. Faced with the question of her mother-in-law Bian Shi about being separated from her children for a long time, but she didn't miss her face, Zhen replied with a smile, "They have their own grandmother to take care of, what do I have to worry about?"

In October, Liu Xie issued an edict: Cao Cao, the king of Wei, was allowed to take 12 crowns, ride a golden root car, drive six horses, and set up a five-hour auxiliary car.
