Yue Xu Wushan, passed Lu Longsai, and attacked Liucheng.
Hundreds of miles away, even though the road was desolate and there were no people for hundreds of miles, although Cao Cao tried his best to hide his tracks, he was finally discovered by Yuan Xi. Liaoxi Karasuma mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to intercept Cao Cao at White Wolf Mountain. In terms of military strength, Cao Cao did not have an advantage; In terms of geography, Cao Cao is the guest, and Badun is the master. This was supposed to be a fiasco for Cao Cao, but it ended with Cao Cao's victory.
At that time, Cao Jun's baggage was behind, and there were even few armor soldiers.
And tens of thousands of Karasuma horses attacked, but Cao's army was not chaotic at all. Cao Cao ordered Zhang Liao to form a formation to stop the Karasuma cavalry. Then he and Xun You climbed the heights to look, and saw that although the Karasuma army was numerous, it was in an irregular position, and there was no order to speak of. So, Cao Cao ordered Cao Zhangniu Gang to lead a cavalry army and assault from both flanks. Cao Zhang took the lead, led his troops into the enemy formation, and had several arrows in his body, and in the midst of the chaos, he beheaded Dun.
As soon as he died, the Karasuma army was in chaos.
In the chaos of the battle, Yuan Xi was shot by Cao Zhang with Cao Gong's arrow and died in the chaos.
As soon as Yuan Xi died, the Karasuma army was leaderless. Zhang Liao took advantage of the situation to cover up and behead thousands of ...... The Karasuma army surrendered, Cao Cao ordered Zhang Liao to take advantage of the situation to continue the attack, and on July 20, he conquered Liucheng and collected more than 200,000 soldiers from Hu and Han, which can be described as a complete victory.
In the battle of White Wolf Mountain, the elite of western Liaoning was lost.
And the loss of Liucheng made Fei Ruzhao and Jiang Yiqu have no intention of continuing to resist.
Guo Jia keenly observed the movements of Yuan's army, so he ordered Xiahou Shang and others to immediately launch an attack and successfully cross the water.
Seeing that the general trend had gone, Zhao Zhao and Jiang Yiqu simply stopped resisting.
The two sent envoys to ask Cao Jun to surrender. Because Cao Cao was not in the army, Guo Jia pretended to be the prime minister, accepted the recruitment of Jiang Yiqu and the two to surrender, and gathered nearly 100,000 soldiers from Yuan's army, completely clearing the passage of western Liao, and the soldiers pointed directly at Liaodong, eyeing the Gongsun clan.
At the beginning of August, Gongsun Kang of Liaodong asked for surrender.
Cao Cao appointed Zhang Liao as the general of the Liao Zhonglang, commanded 50,000 troops, crossed the Liao water, and took Xiangping directly.
Historically, the battle of White Wolf Mountain may be the reason why Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are still alive, and Guo Jia died of illness, Cao Cao had to stop the attack, came to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and let the Yuan brothers flee to Liaodong. Later, although Gongsun Kang of Liaodong killed the Yuan brothers and asked for surrender, Cao Cao did not occupy Liaodong in the real sense. It was not until Cao Pi ascended the throne that the Cao clan and the Gongsun clan joined forces to deal with Goguryeo, and the Cao army was considered to be stationed in the land of Liaodong. However, in this life, because the Yuan brothers have died, Gongsun Kang is also powerless to resist.
So at Xun You's suggestion, Cao Cao ordered Zhang Liao to enter Liaodong and occupy Xiangping.
At the same time, Cao Cao gave Zhang Liao another task, that is, to order Zhang Liao to attack Goguryeo, which had relieved the pressure on the Lü Han Kingdom.
After the Battle of Youzhou began, the Lü Han Kingdom dragged Goguryeo to death according to the agreement.
It is precisely for this reason that although Goguryeo promised Yuan Xi to send troops to help, it never sent troops and horses. However, Goguryeo and Silla joined forces to suppress the Lü Han Kingdom, and in just a few months, the Lü Han Kingdom suffered huge losses. If Cao's army does not send troops again, the Lü Han State is afraid that it will be difficult to hold on. This Lu clan Han Kingdom is the hero of Cao Cao's ascending to the throne, and it is also one of his great achievements...... Therefore, no matter what, it is impossible for Cao Cao to sit idly by and watch the Han state of the Lü clan be wiped out by Goguryeo. If the Lü Han Kingdom perished, there would be no one to contain Goguryeo......
At the end of August of the twelfth year of Jian'an, Zhang Liao sent troops from Xiangping, with Niu Gang as the vanguard, and entered Goguryeo along the Daliang River, conquered the Shenggu City, and looked at the capital of Goguryeo and the domestic city. This inner city is Ji'an on the banks of the Yalu River in later generations. When the palace heard of the invasion of Cao's army, he was shocked. He hurriedly dispatched troops and horses from the southern front to meet Zhang Liao. After months of hard fighting, the Lu Han Kingdom finally heard the good news!
Lu Lan immediately ordered Zhou Qi to take a boat to Liaodong to meet Zhang Liao.
In December, Lü's Han Kingdom and Zhang Liao joined forces to attack Goguryeo, and the Lingwei Palace was defeated......
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Originally, Cao Cao was ready to kill Goguryeo in one fell swoop and completely pacify Liaodong.
However, winter was approaching, and the unique climate of Liaodong forced Cao Cao to temporarily change his decision and return with his troops.
The scorching winter in eastern Liaodong is by no means something that Sergeant Cao can bear.
According to Yuan's descending general Xian Yufu, after the winter in Liaodong, the temperature is very low, and it can drip into ice. If you can't adapt to the special environment and climate of Liaodong, try not to start a war lightly and fight a decisive battle with Goguryeo. The Goguryeo people have lived here for a long time and are more familiar with the weather and environment in Liaodong. It is best to familiarize yourself with the climate before preparing to fight Goguryeo.
In fact, the conquest of Liaodong has achieved Cao Cao's goal.
With Zhang Liao to contain Goguryeo and relieve the pressure of the Lu Han Kingdom, it can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness.
Moreover, after entering Liao, Cao Jun had a large area of water and soil adaptation symptoms. Although he was prepared, in the face of this poor mountain and bad water, Cao Cao could only change his mind.
The most important thing is that Guo Jia sent someone to bring a sentence.
"Can the prime minister do a good job of taking on the responsibility of millions of people in Goguryeo?"
It is often said that it is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to govern the world.
To govern the world, the first thing is to let the people have enough food and warm clothes...... Goguryeo was originally a bitter cold place, and without proper arrangements, Cao Cao really didn't dare to act rashly. Before, he stayed and did not fight, but attacked Youzhou precisely because of this people's livelihood problem. It is easy to eliminate high-level cadres, and can they afford to pay for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of millions of people in the state? Cao Cao wasn't ready yet......
Since it is not suitable to attack Goguryeo now, it can only be given up for the time being.
However, even so, Cao Cao still left Zhang Liao behind, and appointed Cao Zhang as the general of Beizhong Lang, guarding Liaoxi, pacifying Karasuma, and monitoring Xianbei's movements.
Cao Zhang's expedition this time was distinguished by outstanding achievements.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the conquest of Liucheng, he killed Yuan Xi, which can be described as the first achievement.
It's just that Tian Chou, who was originally responsible for leading the way, died in the battle of White Wolf Mountain, which made Cao Cao feel so sorry. Originally, he planned to let Tian Chou stay in Liaoxi and assist Cao Zhang. But now, Tian Chou died on the battlefield. Fortunately, Cao Cao has a lot of capable people! Although a field was lost, there was still Tian Yu, a Yuyang man...... Cao Cao served as the captain of Tianyu Karasuma, and left the Yuan family to surrender to the general, and assisted by Zhao and Xie Jun. Guo Jia suggested that a dock be set up in Liaodong County, and boats should be built to strengthen the liaison with the Han Kingdom of the Lu clan.
In October of the twelfth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao boarded the ship at Yushi and left Liaodong.
On the way back, Cao Cao passed by Jieshi, so he abandoned the ship and climbed high, looking at the sea, and was full of pride.
"The east is adjacent to the Jieshi to view the sea. The water is surging, and the mountains and islands are sturging.
The trees are overgrown and the grass is abundant. The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are surging.
The trip of the sun and the moon, if out of it, the stars are brilliant, if out of it.
Fortunately, even ya, the song is a song. ”
After the ode, Cao Cao was endlessly proud.
He turned around and said with Dian Wei, who was climbing with him, and said with a smile: "In the past, Yuan Shao was in Hebei, can you know that Meng De has the happiness of today?" ”
Think about how powerful Yuan Shao was at the beginning.
But could he have imagined that one day, I would be here?
After speaking, Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed.
But he didn't know that Guo Jia, who was on the side, changed his face slightly, revealing a bitter smile......
Prime Minister, it seems that he is a little carried away!
It's just that he knows what to say and when. Although he knew that Cao Cao was complacent at this time, he couldn't open his mouth to advise.
When I have the opportunity, I will know with the prime minister.
"By the way, what's the situation in Nanyang?"
Descending to Jieshi Mountain, Cao Cao embarked on the road back.
He summoned Guo Jiaxun and asked about the situation in Nanyang County.
Before, Cao Cao was busy with the war, so he had no time to take care of Nanyang County. Now, he swept through Youzhou and dominated Liaodong, and he no longer had any worries.
As for the high cadre?
No cause for concern......
"Nanyang County, it's good."
"Huh?"
"According to the news from Wen Ruo, Ah Fu has recaptured Wancheng and fully occupied Nanyang County. It's just that Liu Biao recalled Liu Bei, but sent soldiers and horses to Xinye, intending to fight a decisive battle with Ah Fu. ”
"Liu Biao, I don't know anything."
When Cao Cao heard this, he was furious.
"Previously, Liu Jingsheng had repeatedly opposed me. I miss his Han clan relatives, so I don't care about him...... But he didn't know how to advance or retreat, and he really deserved to die. Feng Xiao, immediately pass on my order, let Cheng Yu dig a lake in Yecheng and drill the water army. You and I will immediately return to Xudu to discuss the crusade against Jingzhou. ”
Is there going to be a war against Jingzhou?
Guo Jia frowned when he heard this......
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That night, Cao Cao stayed overnight in Changli.
He feasted on civil and military affairs, and held a banquet in Changli.
On the banquet, Cao Cao was fierce and full of pride.
Just when he was changing cups with everyone, a small colonel suddenly came to report: "Prime Minister, Xu Du is coming." ”
"Huh?"
Cao Cao hurriedly stopped the drum music and ordered someone to summon the messenger of Xu Du.
"Prime Minister, the lower officials were ordered by Xun Shangshu to urgently report six hundred miles: Ten days ago, Liu Biao died of illness in Jingzhou! Xun Shangshu invited the prime minister to return to Xudu quickly. ”
