In the fourth year of Jian'an, in July, Zhao Fu led 30,000 sailors, ambushed Cao Cao's army on the waterway along Baima and Qingzhou. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the fourth year of Jian'an, in August, Zhao Yun led an army of 50,000 to approach the junction of Bingzhou and Luoyang; Zhao Fu led the naval army to retreat from the west of Qingzhou and formed a formation to prevent Cao Cao, while Zhang He and Xu Huang led the army to defend Cao Cao head-on. In the area from Jinan to Beihai in Qingzhou, the defense line was strictly arranged.

Cao Cao led the army to the city of Jinan, looking at the dense city wall, the defenders who were waiting for the battle, his thick eyebrows were furrowed, and he felt a headache, he wanted to take advantage of Yuan Shao's defeat and directly pursue the victory, even if he did not fully collect Yuan Shao's territory, he at least took Qingzhou down, but who knew that Liu Feng sent someone to pick up Hu, and occupied the entire territory of Qingzhou without a single soldier.

"Xun You, how do you think this is good? I waited for a long way to come, although we had the advantage of a large army, but there was no siege equipment, can this Qingzhou still fight? "Cao Cao is not tall and dark-skinned, but he is full of temperament, and he has a bit of the taste of the last hero. He looked at Xun You, who had been following him, and asked for a plan.

Xun You looked at the towering city walls and the neat defenders, shook his head, and sighed: "It's not impossible to attack Qingzhou, but now is not the time. ”

"Hehe," Cao Cao laughed twice, and didn't ask him why, stared at the city wall for a while, and then said slowly: "Then you said that this pie in hand was given to Liu Feng's kid for nothing?" ”

How could Xun You not know Cao Cao's thoughts, and said with a light smile: "How can I give Liu Feng the victory that I have worked so hard to win, but let him keep it for us for a period of time." Besides, although our army has an advantage, most of them are Yuan Shao's surrendered troops, which have not yet been digested, the army is not aligned, and there are no siege equipment......" Xun You lowered his head and carefully explained the reason to Cao Cao.

"Oh, there are no siege equipment, then it will be built overnight, and the army will not be in harmony, then let Yuan Shao's army attack the city for us." Cao Cao seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him, turned his head, and commanded with an expressionless face: "Xun You's matter will be completely handed over to you, and in three days, I will capture this city." ”

Xun You smiled bitterly, and if he wanted to say something, Cao Cao had already left without looking back.

Alas, you can't advance or retreat, you can't advance or retreat, Xun You sighed slightly in his heart, and at the same time he also had a little doubt in his heart, how could Liu Feng, who has always been a man of success, occupy Qingzhou first? But at this moment, it is not the time to think about these questions, he still has a lot of things to do.

This offensive and defensive battle, has lasted for about seven or eight days, Jinan City in Zhang He, Xu Huang's guard, as stable as Mount Tai, still towering, but Cao Cao was eager to attack the city, the loss was particularly heavy, angry he jumped like thunder, Cao Cao, who felt the loss of face, was trying to send troops to attack the city again, and the news came from the rear that Jizhou Zhao Yun led the army to Luoyang, Cao Cao was shocked, this time and Yuan Shao's battle, his army was already small, and the rear elite forces were almost drawn by him, Now that the defense in the rear can be said to be useless, how can this resist Zhao Yun's attack?

Xun You saw the problem and said that with Cao Cao, Cao Cao was depressed in his heart, and he didn't know how this was Liu Feng's plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, but the current situation was that he had to retreat.

In mid-August, Cao Cao ordered the army to retreat and return to Xuchang to rescue Luoyang. Looking back, he looked at the city that was still standing tall not far away, and his expression was complicated, and he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

The battle of Guandu involved the eyes of the people of the world, and finally ended with Cao Mengde's complete victory, although in the end it was not able to get closer to achieve results, but after this battle, Cao Cao not only expanded his territory, but more importantly, the strength of the army increased greatly. Let him have enough strength to protect his vast territory, and then coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, so as to replace Yuan Shao and become the most powerful warlord in the world.

Yuan Shao was defeated and returned to Youzhou, and the remaining soldiers and horses were only 200,000, and under the anger in his heart, this time he was smart, and he did not ask Liu Feng to return to his Qingzhou, but just told the outside world to let Liu Feng guard on his behalf. As for what the outside world says, it is no longer up to him.

A.D. 194, at the end of October, Yuan Shao in the pacification of the rebellion in the state, seriously ill, not just a life, at that time many people thought that Yuan Tan was old, should be appointed as the heir, Feng Ji and others were worried that Yuan Tan would fall out of favor after succeeding to the throne, so they colluded with Yuan's wife Liu, pretending to Yuan Shao's death, and soon established Yuan Shang after Yuan Shao's death.

Yuan Tan rushed to the funeral, and saw that the overall situation had been decided, so he had to claim that he was the general of the chariot cavalry. But the contradictions between the two did not end there, but became more and more acute.

In 195 AD, taking advantage of the New Year, Liu Feng personally ordered the secret agent to send a secret letter to Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang respectively, saying that he wanted to return Qingzhou, help the two of them become kings again, and restore the glory of Yuan Shao's life, but he didn't know who to help, and wanted the two brothers to discuss the results.

At this time, Yuan Shang was in charge of the entire Youzhou and the small half of the state, and the rest fell into the hands of his brother Yuan Tan, the two were not convinced by each other, and wanted to collapse each other.

After more than half a year of war, Yuan Tan, who was weak, finally defeated his younger brother Yuan Shang with Liu Feng's secret help, he was angry in his heart, regardless of the dissuasion of everyone, he insisted on giving Yuan Shang to death, and he sat in Yuan Shang's position.

Liu Feng saw that the matter had been completed, Yuan Tan was already weak, and now he was in a difficult situation at home and abroad, and everyone betrayed his relatives and left, so he immediately sent a letter to inform the world, telling Yuan Tan's various sins, and finally ordered the army of Lu Yi and Zhao Yun, who had long been dormant, to take the state and Youzhou by surprise and conquer it with lightning. At this point, he took full control of Yuan Shao's territory, and his momentum was unmatched for a while, even overshadowing Cao Cao's prestige before.

"Haha," everyone in the Yecheng Council Hall laughed, and the atmosphere was warm, obviously this battle showed everyone's confidence.

Liu Feng looked at the civil and military officials who were gathered together, and his heart was also happy, this time it was not just as simple as getting Yuan Shao's territory, the most important thing was that he accepted the surrender of Yuan Shao's large number of civil and military horses, so that his originally poor civil and military forces were greatly supplemented, the most famous of which were Yan Rouyan and Han Meng.
