After Cao Cao eliminated the Yuan family, the north belonged to him, and then took a series of measures to stabilize the north, during which Guo Jia proposed to use more northern celebrities to gather people's hearts, Cao Cao used it, and later sent Liang Xi to stabilize the situation of the state and the state assassination, Zhuojun Wang Song also returned to Cao Cao in Liu Fang, Zhang Yan led 100,000 subordinates to Shun Cao Cao, and the matter of Wen Ji's return to Han also happened during this time, the north has since become Cao Cao's back garden, and Yecheng has also become Cao Cao's new base camp.

【Liang Xi went down and merged with the state】

Liang Xizi Ziyu, a native of Mushi County, Chen County. He used to be the chief secretary of the county. When Cao operated Sikong, he was recruited as the magistrate of Zhangxian County, and later transferred to Chengshi County, Haixi County, and Xiapi County Commander, during his tenure, he was good at governing the local area and won a great reputation. Later, he entered the dynasty as the history of Western Cao Lingshi and was promoted to a subordinate official.

In the eleventh year of Jian'an (206), Cao Cao recovered the state from the hands of Gao Gan, and Liang Xi concurrently served as the assassin of the state with the official position of Sima of the other department. After the high-level cadres were disturbed and harassed, the Southern Xiongnu tribes and the state boundaries were flying and domineering, bullying people, and the officials and people of the state rebelled and fled one after another, joining the Xiongnu tribe. The powerful and powerful in the state accumulate strong men, and from time to time they harass and persecute the people, and various forces incite and provoke each other, often holding each other.

After Liang Xi took office, he adopted the strategy of inducement, explanation, and appeasement, and politely summoned those wealthy and powerful families, and slightly recommended them to serve in the shogunate. After the powerful families were settled, they immediately mobilized the strong men to join the army, and took the opportunity of the army to go out to ask them to serve as warriors. After the officials and soldiers left, Liang Xi asked their families to be appropriately relocated, and tens of thousands of people were sent to Ye County before and after. For those who did not carry out the order, Liang Xi sent troops to crusade, killing more than 1,000 people, and tens of thousands of people surrendered to submission.

According to the "Wei Luo" record, Yu Yan, the leader of the Xianbei tribe at that time, was often troubled by the border of Bingzhou, and once Yuyan led more than 5,000 horsemen of his tribe into the territory of Bingzhou, so that people could meet Liang Xi, hoping that the two sides could trade with each other at the border. Liang Xi believes that if he does not listen to his words, he will attract resentment; If they are allowed to trade in the state, they are afraid that the Xianbei cavalry will plunder the people.

So Liang Xi promised to trade with Yuyan in an empty city on the one hand, and on the other hand, he ordered the counties to do a good job of defense, and then he and the state officials led the army to trade. Before the city change was completed, the official in charge of the city change arrested a Hu man. Yu Yan was shocked and ordered the Xianbei cavalry to set up arrows and bend bows, besieging Liang Xi and others several times, and the officials on the spot were terrified and at a loss. Liang Xi then slowly called the official in charge of the city and asked him why he had arrested the Hu people before, and the officials reported that the Hu people had forcibly violated the people. Liang Xi then called Yu Yan to come out to negotiate, and after Yu Yan arrived, Liang Xi scolded on the spot: "You Hu people yourself broke the law first, but the officials have never violated you, how dare you order the cavalry to intimidate us?" After that, he was killed on the spot, and the rest of the Hu people were too frightened to move. Liang Xi's move greatly deterred the few nomadic people in the north.

In addition to Xianbei, Shan Yu of the Southern Xiongnu respectfully obeyed Liang Xi, and the chiefs of various tribes also bowed down to his orders, and the people obeyed Liang Xi's drive, just like the naturalized people. Since then, the border has been stabilized, the people are distributed in the fields, Liang Xi has constantly encouraged the peasants to develop agriculture, and the orders have been carried out to the letter. Confucian scholars and celebrities in the state were all appointed by the imperial court through the recommendation of Liang Xi, including Chang Lin, Yang Jun, Wang Xiang, Xun Wei and Wang Ling.

Cao Cao rewarded Liang Xi, gave him the title of Marquis of Guannei, and gave him the official title of Assassin Shi, so that he could officially administer the state. The fathers and elders in the state also praised Liang Xi's deeds, believing that no assassin could catch up with Liang Xi.

Since then, the situation in the state has improved considerably.

【Wang Song descends to Cao】

Since Gongsun Zhan killed Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, Youzhou has been relatively turbulent, and later Wang Song, a native of Youzhou Yuyang, took the opportunity to occupy Zhuo County and used it as his stronghold. After Cao Cao occupied Jizhou, there was a tendency to sweep the world, Wang Song's subordinate Liu Fang persuaded him to submit to Cao Cao, he said: "In the past, Dong Zhuo acted perversely, heroes rose up at the same time, supported the army and stood on their own, and gave orders without authorization. Let's just say that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are so strong, they can't defend Huainan, they fight, and they are defeated in Guandu; Cao Gong took advantage of the victory to advance, and the momentum was like a sweep, and he would definitely sweep away the Hebei region, and the authoritarian power and punishment had been combined, and the general trend of the matter would be revealed. Those who arrive quickly will always be blessed, and those who fall behind and submit will perish first, and this is the time when you can't wait to run all day long. In the past, Di Bu gave up his noble position as a king and returned to the Han Dynasty with his sword, which was indeed a move to understand the law of prosperity and decline and understand the fate of rebellion. The general should devote yourself to Cao Gong, entrust your fate to him, and befriend him with generous gifts. ”

So Wang Song surrendered, and it coincided with Cao Cao's crusade against Yuan Tan in Nanpi County, and wrote a letter to summon Wang Song, Wang Song sacrificed the three cities of Yongnu, Quanzhou, and Anci, and attached them to the imperial court.

【Wen Ji Returns to Han】

Cai Wenji is a famous talented woman in the Three Kingdoms era, she is the daughter of the great Confucian Cai Yong, the name Yan, the word Wenji.

Due to the influence of her family background, she grew up to be knowledgeable, talented, eloquent, and versatile. Cai Wenji first married Hedong Wei Zhongdao, but Wei Zhongdao died early and had no son, so she returned to her parents' home.

And in the Xingping years, the world was in turmoil. Wen Ji was taken captive by Hu Qi and married to King Zuoxian of the Southern Xiongnu. She stayed in the Xiongnu for twelve years and also gave birth to two sons.

And Cao Cao used to be good friends with Cai Yong, after Cao Cao became strong, he remembered his old love and sympathized with Cai Yong's heirs, so he sent a messenger to ransom Wen Ji with a golden bi and remarry Dong Ci. But Cai Wenji's life was not good, Dong Ci committed a capital crime when he was the lieutenant of Tuntian, and Wenji went to Cao Cao to ask for pardon.

At that time, some of the court officials and distant envoys were present. Cao Cao said to the guests: "Cai Bojiao's daughter is outside the door, now I will introduce it to you." When Wen Ji came in, unkempt and barefoot, she kowtowed and pleaded guilty, and when she spoke, she spoke clearly, and the meaning was very sad. Everyone changed color when they heard it. Cao Cao said: "The situation is indeed pitiful, but the order has been issued, what should I do?" Wen Ji said: "There are tens of thousands of horses in your old man's stable, and there are as many soldiers as a forest, why don't you send a fast horse to recover the documents and save the dying life?" Cao Cao was very moved, so he withdrew his order and spared Dong Ci from the death penalty.

At that time, the weather was cold, so he gave Wen Ji a headscarf, shoes and socks. Cao Cao asked Cai Wenji: "I heard that your family used to have a lot of ancient books, can you still remember some?" Wen Ji said: "Once upon a time, my father gave me more than 4,000 ancient books, but because I was exiled and fled, the people were devastated, and there was nothing left. Now I can only memorize more than 400 articles. Cao Cao said, "I will now send ten scribes to your house to copy them." Wen Ji said: "I heard that the boundary between men and women is very strict, and according to etiquette, they cannot be taught in person. Please give me some pen and paper, in block letters. So he copied the book and sent it to Cao Cao, and the text was not omitted. Later, Wen Ji was very sad about the chaotic experience, recounted the past, and wrote two poems of "Grief and Indignation", which were passed down to future generations.
