Mrs. Guo was very happy to get the gold, silver, money, and official position promised by Gao Shun, and completely agreed with Sima Yi's proposal to send troops to Hanoi, and he could take this opportunity to make another profit.

Mrs. Guo coerced Yuan Shang and easily deceived the city gate of Huai County, because Wang Kuang didn't know that Mrs. Guo had turned her back on Yuan Shang.

Hanoi is a large county, with a population of more than 5 million, almost the sum of two or three Shangdang counties, among the eight counties in the Sili area, Chang'an and Luoyang each account for a part, Chang'an accounts for most of it, and the two sides are bounded by Anyi and Mianchi, and are heavily guarded.

Yuan Shao occupied Luoyang, that is, Henan Yin, and Wang Kuang occupied Hanoi, which also nominally belonged to Yuan Shao, but Hanoi was occupied by Guan Yu, which meant that Yuan Shao made enemies on both sides, Guan Yu to the north of the Yellow River, and LΓΌ Bu to the west, and he could only develop to Yanzhou in the east and Yuzhou in the south.

After Guan Yu occupied Hanoi County with lightning speed, he soon sent troops to occupy the counties, and the 80,000 troops under the command of General Duliao's mansion, except for 10,000 infantry who stayed in Shangdang County, the remaining 30,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry were all stationed in Hanoi, especially Luoyang, which was across the river, and was heavily guarded on the bank of the Yellow River.

When Yuan Shao got the report, he immediately sent troops to reinforce him, but as soon as he crossed the Yellow River, he was attacked by the light cavalry of Yunying, and after several tests, Yuan Shao had to accept the fact that he had lost Hanoi.

Gao Shun directly appointed Sima Yi's brother Sima Lang as the Taishou of Hanoi, and used several families in Hanoi County, and the sixteen counties of Hanoi quickly settled down, Guan Yu set up heavy troops on the banks of the Yellow River, and also took over several county towns in Hedong County, facing Lu Bujun in Anyi.

After the Bai Bo army searched Huai County, they quickly evacuated, all the way to the east, and directly attacked Wei County, the officials of Wei County saw a Yuan character banner, and thought it was Yuan Shang's triumph, but they did not expect to let a wave of thieves enter the city.

Yuan Shao learned that his son was captured by the Baibo army, and immediately ordered to send the general Yan Liang to cross the river from Baima and directly enter Wei County.

Mrs. Guo fled into the mountains with the army, with Yuan Shang's life talisman, Yan Liang did not dare to force too much, and in the end there was really no way, so he had to send a messenger to discuss with Mrs. Guo to redeem Yuan Shang with money and grain, Sima Yi took advantage of the situation to propose to bring the army into Daze Township and then exchange with Yan Liang, Yan Liang had no choice but to let Bai Bojun escape into Daze Township.

After the Bai Bo army escaped into Daze Township, he exchanged a lot of food with Yuan Shang and Yan Liang, and after Yan Liang rescued Yuan Shang, he immediately sent troops to suppress the thieves.

Yuan Shang after this battle, not only defeated, but also became a prisoner of the bandits, face loss, Yuan Shao removed him from the post of Wei County Taishou, let him go back to Luoyang to think about it, and in order to prevent Guan Yu, Yuan Shao appointed Yan Liang as the Wei County Taishou.

After Yuan Tan heard the news, he was very excited, and he wanted to make a career more and more, so that Yuan Shao was impressed, before there were yellow turbans in the plains, he led his troops into the plains to suppress thieves, where was the remnants of the yellow turbans Yuan Tan's opponents, they were quickly eliminated, and Yuan Tan took the opportunity to stay in the plains and not leave.

At this time, Yuan Tan set his sights on Jibei again, Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin is not a soft persimmon, how to say that he is also the prince who participated in Dong Zhuo's crusade, Yuan Tan tried several times, and suffered a big loss, Jibei Xiang took the opportunity to send troops to the plain, wanting to snatch the plain from Yuan Tan's hands.

Yuan Tan was caught off guard by Bao Xin, so he asked Cao Cao of Dongjun for help, Cao Cao and Shanyang Taishou Yuan lost in the battle for Jiyin County, and Yanzhou has Liu Dai Bao Xin These princes, it is not easy to develop, and Yanzhou is easy to make enemies on all sides, Cao Cao has been waiting for the opportunity.

happened to receive Yuan Tan's letter for help, Cao Cao felt that the opportunity had come, and immediately agreed to Yuan Tan's request and sent troops to attack Bao Xin's lair.

At this time, Yuan Tan also sent troops from Pingyuan County, and Cao Cao jointly attacked Bao Xin, Bao Xin was defeated, and under the persuasion of the strategists, he surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was overjoyed, and took the opportunity to occupy Jibei County.

Yuan Tan didn't expect that in the end Bao Xin actually surrendered to Cao Cao, he worked hard, but it turned out to be a wedding dress for Cao Cao, which made the now arrogant Yuan Tan how to stand it, he immediately sent troops to Jibei County, but Cao Cao was killed back, fortunately, he was afraid of Yuan Shao's face, Cao Cao did not take advantage of the situation to pursue, so that Yuan Tan fled back with his troops.

After Cao Cao occupied Jibei County, his strength rose sharply, he sent people to make peace with Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan did not have the ability to attack Cao Cao, so he could only agree, Cao Cao took advantage of the situation to attack Shanyang Taishou Yuan Zhi, and then killed Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, and became a veritable Yanzhou pastor.

Cao Cao asked the Luoyang court to lead Yanzhou pastor, of course Yuan Shao would not agree, not to mention that Yuan Shao had occupied Yingchuan and other places, if Cao Cao was named Yanzhou pastor, then how would Yuan Shao develop.

It happened that Yuan Shao had received a report from Yuan Tan before, so he sent a court envoy to reprimand Cao Cao, of course Cao Cao was dissatisfied, but he had no choice but to develop his strength silently for the time being.

After occupying Yanzhou, Cao Cao set his sights on Xuzhou, at this time the confrontation between the princes of the Southern Seven Roads and Liu Biao was not over, Cao Cao wanted to seize this rare opportunity to attack Xuzhou, but because the division was unknown, so there was no action.

After Cao Cao became the de facto pastor of Yanzhou, he wanted to take his old father Cao Song over, and Cao Song took his second son Cao De and his wife and concubine, planning to leave the land of swords and soldiers and go to Cao Cao's base camp Yanzhou. Unexpectedly, his whereabouts were leaked, and he was surrounded by Tao Qian's subordinates, and Cao Cao's troops were too late to respond, and Cao Song, his second son Cao De, and his concubine all became ghosts under the knife.

Cao Cao learned that Cao Song was killed, his heart ached, just after the funeral was about to send troops to Xuzhou, Tao Qian regretted not at the beginning, wrote to Cao Cao to apologize, Cao Cao not only killed the envoy, but also scolded Tao Qian.

Tao Qian learned that Cao Cao was attacking on a large scale, and he had no choice but to ask Chen Gui for advice, and Chen Gui took the opportunity to say: "Why don't you go to the imperial court for help?" ”

"The Imperial Court?" Tao Qian asked with some confusion.

Chen Gui suggested: "Yuan Tan and Cao Cao fought for Jibei County before, and they have formed a grudge, and later Cao Cao invited himself to Yanzhou Mu, but Yuan Shao did not comply, it can be seen that Yuan Shao will not tolerate Cao Cao's development and growth, why didn't Tao Gong ask the general for help?" ”

Tao Qian felt polite after hearing this, so he sent people to ask Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan for help, and at the same time, Beihai Taishou Kong Rong also sent a letter asking for help.
