Due to the rout of the Wuhuan army on the whole line, thousands of people died, thousands of people fled to Liaodong, and the rest fled to Liucheng, the old nest of Wuhuan, Cao Cao did not care about the Sufu Pill and Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang brothers, but ordered the army to continue to pursue and kill in the direction of Liucheng, tens of thousands of victorious troops were highly moraled, and rushed to the city of Liucheng without stopping, and then launched a strong attack regardless of fatigue. ▲ ∴ top ▲ ∴ point ▲ ∴ small ▲ ∴ said,

Although Liucheng still has tens of thousands of fighting strength, but because the dragons are leaderless, and the Wuhuan soldiers who fled back to Liucheng have already been frightened by the Cao army, not only can not help defend the city, but continue to spread the terror against the Cao army, so the defenders in the city insisted on less than half a day's work, and then announced their surrender.

In this way, Cao Cao's campaign to conquer Wuhuan ended in a complete victory, beheading Dun and Louban, Nengchen and others, capturing more than 200,000 Hu and Han people, tens of thousands of good horses, and hundreds of thousands of cattle and alpacas.

The Hu and Han people captured by Cao Cao were all border people, brave and fierce, good at riding and shooting, and with a little restraint, they could form an elite cavalry of more than 50,000 people.

In the critical period when Liu Bei's regime is about to fall and he will fight against Liu Qi's forces alone, being able to have these 50,000 Wuhuan elite horsemen is definitely a great thing for Cao Cao.

"Lord, now the Yuan Shang brothers have defected to Gongsun Kang in Liaodong, and Gongsun Kang has always been unconvinced, it is better for us to use the victorious army to take advantage of the situation to fight, but we can avoid future troubles." Seeing that Cao Cao had pacified Wu Huan, Man Zhong was also sincerely happy in his heart, so he took advantage of the gathering of the generals to offer advice to Cao Cao.

saw Cao Cao smile, and then asked, "What do you think?" ”

I saw that Cao Hong, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang, Zhang He and other generals were all eager to try, and they asked for their lives, willing to be the vanguard, and lead the army to conquer Liaodong.

Guo Jia, on the other hand, shook his head slowly, and stopped talking.

Cao Cao saw this scene. He asked with a smile: "Fengxiao, I don't know what your high opinion is?" ”

Guo Jia opened his mouth, and just as he wanted to speak, there was a sudden cough, and in an instant, there was a violent cough in the entire military tent. gives people the feeling that Guo Jia wants to cough up his heart.

Cao Cao was shocked, hurriedly walked over, patted Guo Jia's back personally, and saw that Guo Jia coughed so much that tears flowed out, and after a long time, he coughed up a trace of red blood.

Cao Cao's face suddenly turned as pale as paper, and he immediately ordered someone to be summoned to the military doctor.

saw Guo Jia wave his hand, and then said slowly: "No need, lord." According to the plan of the lower officials, we do not need to lead the army to conquer Liaodong. Now the Yuan brothers and the quick servant pill fled to Liaodong, although Gongsun Kang accepted them, but his heart is extremely jealous, if we lead the army to conquer, it is now the cold winter of October, Liaodong is bitter cold, and the expedition is useless. On the contrary, it promotes them to unite closely and work together to fight. And as long as we lead the army to evacuate, Gongsun Kang will not feel our threat, and the two will kill each other, and at that time, the Yuan brothers will be beheaded without the need for the lord to be a soldier. What's more, now that the crisis in Guanzhong is now, we need to take the opportunity to seize strategic points in order to confront Liu Qi more conveniently in the future. ”

Cao Cao saw that Guo Jia was so sick and still worried about the affairs of the country, and he couldn't help but be moved in his heart. At the same time, he was ashamed of his suspicions that day, and hurriedly ordered someone to help Guo Jia to rest on the couch in the tent, and said with tears: "Fengxiao's words coincide with me, but Fengxiao's illness is getting worse, don't worry about state affairs anymore, wait until you get better." ”

But seeing Guo Jia said with a wry smile: "Lord, the lower officials know that my illness may not be cured, alas, I originally thought that Wei Chen would be able to serve the lord and help the lord plan the world, compete with Liu Qi, and Jia Xu fight wit, but unfortunately the day is not a holiday, and the lower officials can't wait for that day to come." Jia didn't dare to ask for extravagance, but only asked for another ten years of life, and he would definitely be able to help the lord Kuang help the world and build an immortal career. ”

After finishing speaking, Guo Jia couldn't help but burst into tears with a look of regret.

Cao Cao regretted it even more when he saw this, hugged Guo Jia, and said with tears in his eyes: "Fengxiao, you are tired of being like this for the great cause of Lonely, if it weren't for the conquest of Wuhuan, you would be fine, this Qiē is all lonely." ”

While speaking, the military doctor had already arrived, and Cao Cao said to the military doctor in a low voice: "No matter what, you have to have to sacrifice Guo's illness to drink, at any cost!" After being cured, Lone will seal you as the Imperial Doctor's Order, if you can't cure it, hum, Lone will destroy your three clans! ”

The military doctor couldn't help but turn pale, he was a military doctor, and he was best at treating external injuries, but he was not good at this kind of disease that was overworked, but his life was at stake and he hurriedly checked Guo Jia's condition, and at this time he broke out in a cold sweat, and then knelt on the ground, and said tremblingly: "Qi Qi Wei Gong, it's not that the villain is unwilling to do his best, it's really that Guo Xianjiu has reached the time when the oil is exhausted, and the villain is afraid that ...... I'm afraid that even if the most famous divine doctors Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji come, it will be difficult to revive Guo Saijiu."

"Hmph, if you can't save Fengxiao, what's the use of you?" After Cao Cao finished speaking, he immediately pulled out his sword from his waist, ready to kill the military doctor on the spot, but he heard Guo Jia say weakly: "Don't do it, don't do the business of the military doctor, it's really that Jia is terminally ill, and the medicine is ineffective." ”

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, kicked the military doctor away, took Guo Jia's hand and cried: "Fengxiao, you are all lonely and incompetent, you are helpless when you are seriously ill, you are still young, you are only thirty-eight years old." ”

Guo Jia also burst into tears, and sighed softly: "Life and death have a fate, and Jia has no choice, but Jia can win the favor of the lord in this life, although he has no regrets in death, the bird will die, its song is also mourning, the person is dying, and his words are also good. ”

Cao Cao immediately withdrew his attendants and said in a deep voice: "Please say that you must keep it in mind." ”

Guo Jia said softly: "Although Xun Wenruo returned to Xiangyang, but Xun Gongda did not have any objections, on the contrary, he was more conscientious, this person is unparalleled in wisdom, even if he has no last resort, he will never be inferior to Jia, the lord needs to discuss with him more if he has something, although Sima Yi is wise, but he is ambitious, and he must not be allowed to hold great power, the lord is in Japan, and he can suppress it, but once the lord is a hundred years later, I am afraid that this person will not be conducive to the country." Also, the lord and Liu Qi have been in dispute for many years, but Liu Qi is several times the lord in terms of population and territory, and he has been in the Central Plains and the north for many years.

When Guo Jia said this, he didn't come up in one breath, and passed away suddenly.

Cao Cao saw Guo Jia die of illness, stroking the corpse and crying, and said to Xun You and others: "You are all similar in age to Lonely, but Fengxiao is the least, only thirty-eight years old this year, and the Spring and Autumn Period is in full bloom." Lone originally wanted to wait for the world to calm down, and after a hundred years of lonely, he would trust him with state affairs, but he didn't expect that Feng Xiao would be middle-aged, is this my life? Alas! Knowing this, I would rather not have Wuhuan than agree to let Fengxiao go with me on the expedition. ”

After that, he personally sacrificed, wept bitterly for several days, went on a hunger strike for three days, vomited half a liter of blood, and rarely could do it.

Cao Cao ordered someone to support Guo Jia's coffin and went to Yishui with the army, but a few days later, he saw a report from his own soldiers, saying that it was Gongsun Kang of Liaodong who sent an envoy to pay a visit.

Cao Cao hurriedly invited the envoy, so he saw the envoy bowing respectfully, and sent the heads of Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi, and Sufumaru and others.

It turned out that things were as Guo Jia expected, before Cao Cao's army withdrew, Gongsun Kang was afraid of Cao Cao's expedition, and was very courteous to Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi brothers, but after Cao Cao withdrew his troops, Gongsun Kang began to be suspicious of the Yuan brothers, and the Yuan brothers did want to plot to kill Gongsun Kang and seize his Liaodong, Gongsun Kang listened to the construction of the mastermind Liang Hat, and took advantage of the banquet to capture and kill Su Fu Pill, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, among which Yuan Shang was suspected of being captured by the bitter cold of the underground, and asked Gongsun Kang for a warm seat, but was ridiculed by Yuan Xi:" The head travels thousands of miles, what is the use of the seat? ”

Cao Cao ordered people to reward the envoy, and praised Gongsun Kang as the Duke of Yan, and then sighed: "As Guo Fengxiao expected, it is a pity that Fengxiao died, and it is really lonely in the sky." ”

Later, Cao Cao ordered Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong to lead 20,000 troops, day and night, to Guanzhong by way of Bingzhou, to seize Liu Bei's hometown, but with the rest of the people to escort Wuhuan prisoners and cattle, horses and alpacas to Luoyang.

But said that the news of Guo Jia's death of illness reached Liu Qi's army, Liu Qi couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Guo Jia is dead, lonely and worry-free, Cao Cao's army, Lone is the most afraid of this person, although the rest of the sons have Xun You, Cheng Yu, Sima Yi and the like, all of them are wise and resourceful, but I am not afraid, Cheng Yu is strong, although Xun Yu is wise and stable, but not as fast as Guo Jia's response, Guo Jia and Xun Yu are united, there are few people in the world, and now Guo Jia is dead, Cao Cao is like a broken arm, and Sima Yi Although he is cunning, after all, he is young, and now he is far inferior to Guo Jia, Now that our army has gone to one of the biggest threats, it is really a great luck, hehe, in the palm of this person, it is no less than a million divisions, Hugh said that it is a small Wuhuan, even if it is added to Liaodong, it can be exchanged for Guo Jia's life, it is worth it. ”

The other generals were all congratulated when they heard this, but Jia Xu's eyes were full of horror, because Liu Qi had said before that Guo Jia would die in this expedition to Wuhuan, but he didn't expect that this was the case, and this ability to predict life and death was really terrifying.

"Hehe, now that Guo Jia is dead, Cao Cao has also pacified Wuhuan, it is said that Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong are ordering Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong to lead 20,000 troops to Guanzhong day and night to occupy Liu Bei's territory, we should seize Guanzhong before they arrive, otherwise, once these territories fall into Cao Cao's hands, it may not be so easy to take them back."

After Liu Qi finished speaking, he ordered Ma Chao to lead his 30,000 cavalry to seize Zuo Fengyi, especially to send heavy troops to defend Linjin, Haoyang, and the two places to prevent the Cao army in Hedong from entering Guanzhong, and of course to prevent the Cao army in Guanzhong from returning to Hedong; Zhou Yu led an army of 20,000 to garrison Zheng County to prevent Hongnong's Cao army from entering Guanzhong.

After Ma Chao and Zhou Yu were ordered to leave, Liu Qi led the rest of his soldiers and horses to besiege Chang'an, and then found a scribe named Su Ze from the army, ordered him to sneak to Chang'an, and persuaded Zhang Fei to sacrifice the city. (To be continued......)
