~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How did Li Dian come about? The answer is, summoned by Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao and LΓΌ Bu fought a series of battles under the city of Xiapi, they suffered a lot of losses, and in order to besiege the enemy army for a long time, they transferred troops and grain to Yanzhou, and Li Dian was one of them.

In August of the first year of Jian'an, Li Quan, the former Qingzhou assassin (Cao Cao's pseudo-life), resigned due to the recurrence of the old wound, and Li Dian took over all the soldiers and became the commander of a semi-independent army. Whether it was when Li Gan and Li Quan were in power, or in the early days of Li Dian's succession, their sect soldiers were not Cao Cao's direct troops, and they belonged to the kind of people who listened to the tune and did not listen to the propaganda, similar to Ma Han's role in Gongsun Du's forces in the early days.

When Cao Cao sent an order to Li Dian, he didn't expect Li Dian to come, because if Li Dian didn't want to come, the excuse was too easy to find. He has just removed filial piety for his brother and has been in charge of the sect for only half a year, as long as he doesn't want to, he can not come. But to Cao Cao's surprise, Li Dian didn't say a word and came.

By now, Cao Cao finally understood that what he had summoned was not reinforcements, but a deadly evil star.

In fact, Lao Cao doesn't need to regret it, because even if he doesn't summon him, Ma Han will change his method to force Li Dian over, in short, he must be tricked.

From the moment Li Dian raided, it foreshadowed Cao Cao's inevitable defeat. More than 30,000 Cao troops, except for five or six hundred cavalry who fled with Cao Cao, almost all of them were wiped out. LΓΌ Qian and Ren Jun had no way to escape, and finally surrendered together. And Liu Bei, a long-legged general and an expert in running away, abandoned his Yuzhou soldiers as early as the first time, and ran to Pengcheng with his brothers to cross Surabaya. Fled back to Xiaopei.

After Ma Gang entered Cao's camp, he unexpectedly met Gao Shun and Cheng Lian.

It turned out that when Cao Ying was in turmoil, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, and Song Xian were brothers

Seeing that the general trend had gone, they had no shame to see their brothers again, so after consulting with each other, they entered Cao Ying's prison and released Gao Shun and Cheng Lian to atone for their sins. But at the same time, they also killed another person in the prison who had been hating them so much-Chen Gong.

Subsequently, the three men took dozens of henchmen and rode out of the camp. As in history, it has never been seen.

The first battle between Ma Han and Cao Cao can be described as the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, breaking 30,000 in one day, capturing and killing Yu Ban, Shi Lian, Lu Zhao, Lu Qian, Ren Jun and other generals, Cao Cao's Yanzhou army essence was almost destroyed, and it was almost beaten back to the original form when he first entered Yanzhou.

On the fifth day of June, the fighting ended. The horses trampled on the mud. Surrounded by more than 100 dragons and wolves, he entered the Yuanzhou Pastoral Mansion and presided over the proceedings.

Before entering the door, Ma Han first went to Lu Bu's mourning hall to pay respects. Lu Bu's body has been collected. In addition to the fact that his body was full of holes, there was no case of decapitation of stumps and cruel dismemberment. Ma Han knew that it was all because of himself.

Cao Cao knew that he would be defeated. did not dare to mutilate Lu Bu's corpse, which aroused greater hatred from the officers and soldiers of Lu Bu's army. The so-called being a man and leaving a line, we will see each other in the future. Unless Cao Cao can win as he did in history. Destroy Lu Bu's army, otherwise he will not dare to behead his body to vent his anger. Don't think that Cao Cao can't do this kind of thing, after Lu Bu was hanged in history, he was sent to Xu Du by the head of the letter to praise his merits. Cao Cao is very familiar with this kind of thing, and he has no psychological burden.

In the mourning hall, Ma Han saw Lu Bu's widow Yan and one of her concubines, as well as her daughter. In my impression, among these people, there seems to be the famous mink chan in history. However, Ma Han swept it quickly (of course, it is inconvenient to stare at people), and I didn't see any particularly outstanding ones, so I didn't feel at ease.

In the governor's mansion, at this time, the stars are gathered, and the talented people are gathered together.

Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Li Dian, Chen Dao, Chen Qi, Chen Deng, Cheng Lian, Guan Cheng, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, Lu Qian, Ren Jun...... Among these people, there are new generals, and there are also demoted generals, before yesterday they were still subordinates of others, but today they have changed the lord, so that when they see the horse, they are somewhat unnatural.

Ma Han looked calm, as if these people were his subordinates for many years, and he spoke naturally. The focus of the conversation was, first of all, the current situation, and the so-called situation is nothing more than soldiers and food.

"Our army had eight thousand sharp men and three hundred horses; There were 3,000 foot soldiers, 500 iron horsemen, and 400 horses; Captain Li had 3,000 soldiers and horses, plus 5,000 troops newly attached to the two captains Lu and Ren. The strength of our army gathered in Xiapi is nearly 20,000. This does not include the captured Cao army, which is not difficult to reach 30,000 in time. The seizure of grain, grass, and armor was enough to last for several months. Ma Han's eyes swept over the faces of the generals, and all he saw were calm faces.

Ma Han nodded secretly in his heart, ordered his attendants to hang a map on the wall, and said: "If you don't give up and push me as the master, then I will demarcate an area for all your monarchs and guard one side." ”

"Chen Yuanlong served as the Taishou of Guangling, controlling the whole county of Guangling, and his responsibility was to protect the territory and the people, and the south refused Yuan Shu, and hurriedly made him cross the Huai and disturb the border."

Chen Deng straightened up, folded his sleeves and saluted, and respectfully accepted the order.

"Mi Zizhong is still driving for Xuzhou and coordinating Xuzhou affairs; Mi Zifang is the Taishou of the East China Sea and is in charge of the affairs of the East China Sea. ”

The Mi brothers were busy and respectful, they couldn't see anything on the surface, but they were very happy in their hearts, Ma Han was tantamount to handing over the East China Sea to his brother. Although the East China Sea has always been the Mi clan's traditional sphere of influence before, this is not on the table, which is equivalent to the imperial court recognizing the Mi clan's status as the overlord of the East China Sea.

"Xiapi is still garrisoned by the original defenders, and Tao Zizhen is invited to be the prime minister."

Tao Zizhen is Tao Ying, this person is mediocre, but with his father Yu Yin, I believe that no matter up or down, he will sell him a little face. It is the most suitable lubricant between Guangling and the East China Sea.

Tao Ying was very surprised by the appointment of the next minister, and repeatedly refused, asking for another meritocrat. It wasn't until the end that Ma Han said that he was just doing a good job of the country, and when the situation calmed down, he would play the court and recommend capable officials, and he could step down, and Tao Ying reluctantly responded.

Next, there was the appointment of the original Lu Bujun. In fact, there is basically no major change, only Zhang Liao was promoted to one level, as the general of the dragon wolf, with the cavalry governor Cheng Lian as the deputy, commanding the cavalry, which is equivalent to the Bingzhou iron cavalry into the dragon wolf army. Gao Shun's military position remained unchanged, commanding the infantry army. What made the three generals secretly grateful was that Ma Han actually assigned half of the captured Cao soldiers to them for screening and surrender, and most of them were the elite of the Cao army, and not only for people to finish, but also for the captured armor and weapons.

Ma Han's undoubted temperament is that the Chen father and son are also secretly impressed, and they would never dare to send so many troops and equipment to the hands of the three newly surrendered generals with such confidence.

And the reason why Ma Han is so generous is for two reasons: one is that he believes in the character of Gao Shun and Zhang Liao. The second is that he has the confidence and is not afraid of surrendering to the general. In fact, Ma Han divided Xuzhou into three and stationed a force in each of them, the purpose of which was to keep the three parties in check, and he also had a naval army on Yuzhou Mountain Island to closely supervise the three parties.

Ma Han's current power has not yet reached Xuzhou, and all he can do is to use his central identity to do his best to unite the local forces in Xuzhou under the name of the imperial court. Fortunately, neither the Chen father nor the Mi brothers have the ability to divide one side, they are at most independent in political affairs, and they are not able to confront the imperial court - to be precise, the dragon and wolf army. Ma Han only asked them to be able to follow the military and political orders of the imperial court (Ma Han).

Next, it's time for the main event.

"Gao Boping stayed in Xiapi, trained the prisoners, Zhang Wenyuan, Chengyijie, Ren Boda rode 8,000 on foot, and chose a day to attack Yu."

"Li Mancheng and Lu Zike led 7,000 troops to attack Yanzhou, targeting Shanyang, Jiyin, and Rencheng."

"The above armies are in charge of the three counties (countries) of Xiapi, Guangling, and Donghai when they go out to fight, and the supply of grain, grass, armor, and soldiers."

Cao Cao's vitality was greatly damaged after this battle, and it is estimated that the first thing he did after escaping back was to shrink his forces and concentrate on a few important bases for defense. Cao Cao's most important rear base is nothing more than Dongjun, Chenliu, Jiyin and other counties. As a result, most of Yanzhou's territory will have a "vacuum", and the entire territory of Yuzhou, which it has recently encompassed, will once again become a terra nullius.

How could you miss such a great opportunity?

Take advantage of his illness and ask for his life. This time, Ma Han wanted to open his bow left and right to capture Yan and Yu.

At present, as long as there is a large army in formation, and there is sufficient logistical support, it can definitely sweep through the two states. The opportunity must not be lost, and it is necessary to take the entire territory of Yuzhou before Yuan Shu and Liu Biao react.

From Ma Han's arrangement, it can also be seen that his good intentions: Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian attacked Yuzhou, which is equivalent to suing the local forces of the Chen family and the Mi brothers, and the army left by Lu Bu will not be stationed in Xuzhou for a long time, and their final foothold is Yuzhou. Therefore, you'd better not pull your back, support well, and when they take Yuzhou, they will naturally leave, and Xuzhou is still Xuzhou of Xuzhou people.

The Chen father and son and the Mi brothers are typical local factions and conservatives. As long as he can keep the interests of his own one-third of an acre, he will never care who rules Xuzhou, and he will not be stingy with money and grain.

I have to say that Jia Xu and Guo Jia, who formulated this overall plan, saw it quite accurately, and their personality analysis of Xuzhou celebrities was also in place.

Sure enough, after exchanging glances with each other, the Chen and Mi families smiled with satisfaction and agreed very happily.

Yuzhou is not difficult to take, Yanzhou is Cao Cao's base camp, and it is not so simple to capture. Ma Han's plan is that wherever Cao Cao retreats, he will advance - Xiao Pei will definitely take it, Jiyin is Li Dian's old nest, and it can be taken lightly, and Ren Chengguo is Lu Qian's hometown, which is not a problem. As for Shanyang County, which is sandwiched between Rencheng and Jiyin, as long as the two counties start, Shanyang will naturally fall into the palm of your hand like a ripe peach.

In Ma Han's plan, only Dongjun and Dongping were left for Cao Cao. After shrinking his troops, Cao Cao will become a hard walnut, and whoever gnaws will have a toothache. However, Ma Han believes that there will be people who pride themselves on having good teeth.

Finally, Ma Han poked his finger heavily at a certain location on the map: "When the princes attack Yan and Yu, my dragon and wolf army will also attack Cao Cao's flank." Before winter comes, I hope to join you here! ”

Everyone's eyes were fixed on that point - Cao Cao's base camp, Chen Liu. (To be continued......)
