In the middle of the night, Huang Zu's troops patrolled carefully and dedicatedly, and they were in a team of ten people, guarding back and forth, almost leaving no dead ends in the entire camp! On the surface, it does look like a tight defense, but in the eyes of the couplet quartet, such a defense is not worth mentioning at all! The four of them rushed into Huang Zu's camp from different directions and found the arsenal where the bow slaves were placed, and then they all ignited the gunpowder that had been prepared for a long time!

In an instant, the Huangzu camp was like the New Year, the armory exploded instantly, and the sound of gunpowder explosion was like a firecracker during the New Year! When these flames reached the tents of the camp, they immediately burned even brighter! For a while, the Huangzu camp was on fire!

Zhang Han saw the flames in the flowing water pass from afar, and shouted excitedly: "Brothers! Give it to me! ”

Taking advantage of the fire in the camp, Zhang Han decisively led the army to enter the Huangzu camp in the dark!

After all, Huang Zu has also been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and when he saw the enemy army rushing to the village, he did not panic, and ordered loudly: "Don't mess around, quickly take the bow and crossbow, and line up to meet the enemy!" ”

However, Huang Zu thought that his calm decision could turn the tide of the battle, but he was wrong, because the subordinates told him that it was the arsenal that was burned! Huang Zu was originally the most powerful thing about the archers under him, but now that the arrows are gone, are they still hairy?

But Huang Zu is Huang Zu, he still said one word very calmly: "Withdraw!" ”

In this way, Zhang Han just arranged for the couplet quartet to put some gunpowder in the arsenal, but he didn't expect to seize the flowing water pass so easily! Happiness came too quickly, and Zhang Han himself felt a little embarrassed. After counting the materials of the Liushui Pass, Zhang Han got the long-lost food and knives, axes, bows and arrows again, this feeling is really refreshing!

The next day, the couplet group of four immediately asked Zhang Han to send troops to Hebei, and at this moment, the soldiers came in to report - Cao Cao's official victory over Yuan Shao had gathered all the men and horses at this moment, crossed the Yellow River, and went straight to Hebei!

The couplet quartet was in a frenzy, and Zhang Han laughed: "What did I say?" I said that Cao Cao will win, but there are four more knights to come to the rescue! Now that you have the best of both worlds, you can rest for a few days, and I will arrange for someone to send you back to the Central Plains. ”

Ruyi replied weakly: "Lord Zhang, don't you need us anymore?" ”

Zhang Han was stunned: "You are Cao Cao's mount...... Why are you still relying on me? ”

The four-person couplet had a difficult face, and replied in unison: "Cao Gong is now full of talents, and his demand for us is getting lower and lower. We have received countless favors from Cao Gong, but now we can't contribute anything, so the more we stay, the more it is not a taste. Although Cao Gong is magnanimous and doesn't care about this, the four of us brothers are really embarrassed. Come to think of it, you are a person that Cao Gong values, and you have made a lot of friends, so we decided to accompany you from now on, and it can be regarded as an explanation of Cao Gong's favor! ”

Zhang Han replied: "I also admire you, if you can assist me, I really can't ask for it!" But I'm not under Cao Gong after all, I'm helping the Jiangdong Sun family! In case we meet on the battlefield on the other day......"

Congratulations hurriedly answered: "If we can help Lord Zhang today, we will also repay Cao Gong's kindness, and naturally there will be nothing to do with it in the future!" ”

Zhang Han's head turned: Okay, you Cao Cao, while taking Yuan Shao, don't you forget to calculate Jiangdong? You're deliberately sending these four to woo me, right? On the surface, it seems to help me, but it can make four people act as double agents! When you get acquainted, and you press the border with a large army, won't I just surrender to you with the troops? Hmph, Lao Tzu is really getting more and more witty!

In this way, Zhang took the winter vacation and took in four people. Since he's a double agent, he'll always be useful someday! Anyway, that's what Zhang Han thinks. At this time, Zhou Yu and Lu Su came with good news, the two led their teams to break through the Liu Biao River Pass, and now the flowing water pass with Zhang Han has completely stopped Liu Biao's throat to march into Jiangdong, on the other hand, Jiangdong can send troops at any time if he wants to fight Liu Biao!

A month after the troops were stationed, Sun Quan came down to order and ordered the three to lead their troops back to Wu.

At this point, the Battle of Hebei Guandu and the Battle of Jiangdong Sanguan have all ended, and under the territory of the Han Dynasty, some stable factions have been completely formed!

The northernmost is Yuan Shao, who commanded the four prefectures of Hebei, You, He, and Qing, but after the Battle of Guandu, his strength was greatly damaged, and now he seems to be a little weaker than Cao Cao in terms of military strength! The key is that Yuan Shao no longer has any generals in his hands, and although there are many strategists, none of them can come up with a plan against the sky, and it is all some small tricks to do it back and forth. However, what worried the entire Yuan regime was not the external troubles of Cao Cao, but the internal troubles for power. In order to balance the strength of his sons, Yuan Shao allocated military power, which seemed to maintain family affection on the surface, but in fact it aggravated the hidden danger! Just imagine, once Yuan Shaoge's fart is gone, these sons will compete for power, and they will have people in their hands, can they still do it without a civil war?

The Central Plains have all been included in Cao Cao's territory! At this moment, Cao Cao thought that Chang'an would curb all the princes in the west, south to Runan, cross the river to attack Sun Quan, east to Xuzhou, prosperous commerce, and north to Guandu ready to exterminate Yuan Shao! Cao Cao's strength improved after the Battle of Guandu, and his warriors were like clouds and military divisions were like rain, and his combat power was unprecedentedly strong! The backup materials are fully guaranteed! Although Cao Cao has long coveted the territory of Jiangdong, after all, the Yuan clan in the north is still there, so at this moment, Cao Cao's entire strategy is focused on the four states of Hebei! Almost every day, they are training troops, making ordnance, and transporting war horses, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before they advance into Hebei!

And south of the Yangtze River, it is the Sun regime! After Sun Ce's death, the regime only made some fluctuations, but after Sun Quan succeeded to the position, although he was very young, he immediately used some old ministers and his own iron-fisted policy to curb Zhang Han, Zhou Yu and others, and used the cage policy to concentrate all the previous generals such as Tai Shici around him, and he was doing brainwashing work every day! Although after Zhang Han, Zhou Yu, and Lu Su's three-way army leveled Liu Biao's three passes, Jiangdong officially declared his position as the overlord in the south! And now the Sun regime is most worried not about Liu Biao in Jingzhou, but about the military on his side! Although Koto is strong, this strong refers to the economy and agriculture! Due to the small population, the Koto region has always had very few soldiers and horses! Although Sun Quan can win many battles, they are all small-scale battles after all! The reason why it is said to be a small-scale battle is because the total number of troops invested by both sides cannot exceed 200,000! And this number is simply a drizzle for Cao Cao, who has gone through the Guandu War! Therefore, Sun Quan has been thinking about what aspect to increase the population, so as to increase the number of soldiers in the entire south, and finally play a role in contending with Cao Cao! However, Sun Quan was still very disappointed that the Battle of Guandu ended so early, after all, he hoped that Yuan Shao could delay Cao Cao for a longer time. However, Yuan Shao's failure made Sun Quan not so relieved about his already small number of elites, so he hurriedly recruited Zhang Han and others to save the army from any mistakes!

After talking about these three strong, of course, we can't forget Liu Bei, Guan Guan and Feifei. After Lu Bu was destroyed, these three people sold chrysanthemums and voted for Cao Cao! Cao Cao arranged for his development in Xuzhou, Liu Bei certainly did not miss this rare opportunity to cultivate, coupled with the tense war in Hebei, Cao Cao could not concentrate, Liu Bei wantonly recruited troops in Xuzhou, and has a very high intensity to train these soldiers, in order to wait for an opportunity! And when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao officially fought fiercely, Liu Bei felt that the opportunity had come! So he led the 50,000 troops he recruited from Xuzhou to raid Xuchang, preparing to use the name of protecting the Son of Heaven to make his betrayal look more upright! It can be written that Xuchang is guarded by Xun Yu, although there are not many troops, Liu Bei has not been able to capture it for more than a month! And at this time, the bad news came - Cao Cao broke Yuan Shao's rescue with a wave! Liu Bei fled all the way west, was pursued by Cao Cao in various ways, and was forced to cross the Jiangnan in desperation. When I crossed the river, there were only four or five thousand people left! But there is still good news - Zilong, who was a cheating father back then, has come out of the mountain again, and now he has become a general under Liu Bei's account.

And south of the Yangtze River, there is still an old separatist force - Liu Biao! There is also a long-active Ma family to the west of Chang'an! Southwest of Tongguan is the Bashu regime led by Liu Zhang! Although these three forces are not very powerful, after all, they have been separated for a long time, have their own connections, and have their own strong combat troops! So it's not very easy to destroy them!

......

After a period of adjustment, Cao Cao felt that the time had come to send troops to Hebei, and he must not delay it any longer! Otherwise, do you have to wait for Yuan Shao to recover his combat effectiveness before fighting with him? It's something that only fools do!

So Cao Cao first arranged for Xiahoudun and Manzhong to guard Runan, so that it could play a role in curbing the sneak attack of Liu Biao in Jingzhou!

Leave Cao Ren and Xun Yu to guard Xu Du again, in order to take charge of the major affairs of the Central Plains, and save yourself from making a flea like Liu Bei like last time!

And Cao Cao himself personally commanded the army and went to Guandu Tunza.

And Yuan Shao has been haunted by the previous defeat, and recently suffered from lung disease, after a period of treatment, he only recovered a little, so he immediately gathered everyone to discuss attacking Xu Du and taking revenge!

The strategist replied: "The old Guandu, the defeat of Cangting, the morale of the army is not uplifted; It is still a deep ditch and a high base to support the strength of the army and the people. "In fact, the suggestion of the review is very correct! After all, in terms of territory, Hebei is not weaker than the Central Plains! Although Guandu was greatly traumatized, as long as time is given, his strength can still be restored! When the time comes to fight again, the balance of victory may be in favor! And now that the morale is low, the soldiers in the army will be afraid when they hear Cao Cao, but at such a time, if they want to attack Cao Cao, it is simply asking for their own death!

But before Yuan Shao could decide, his subordinates rushed in and reported that Cao Cao had entered the army and came to attack Jizhou!

Yuan Shao was furious: "Lao Tzu is about to you!" But you came to Lao Tzu first? If he waits until his troops come to the city, they will reach the edge of the trench, and then come to defend, I am afraid it will be too late! So I led my army out to meet you. ”

Son Yuan Shang hurriedly patted his fart: "My father is not well ill, so he can't go on an expedition." The son is willing to raise troops to meet the enemy. ”

That's what Yuan Shao meant! If you want to make the kid respectful, of course you have to give him some military exploits! Otherwise, who can agree? So he readily agreed, and then sent people to Qingzhou to take Yuan Tan, Youzhou to take Yuan Xi, and the state to take Gao Gan, and the four-way army was ready to gather in one place and break Cao Cao together!
