Two Shen Huaiji! After. Zhang Xiu's army did not stop, and rushed to attack the northeast of Hanoi into the tension: the capital of the Shang Dynasty was sang. The army arrived on the fifth day, and in less than a day, after breaking through the Chaoge City where Hanoi and large and small families gathered, the army continued to advance northward, and in a total of ten days, Zhang Xiu's army completely captured Hanoi.

Hanoi Chaoge.

This place is the capital of the old Shang Dynasty, although the Shang Dynasty often moved the capital, but the song of the dynasty is the most famous among the many capitals of the Shang Dynasty, especially in later generations, many people do not remember the names of the rest of the capitals of the Shang Dynasty, but the song of the dynasty must remember. The king of Shang died in the Song of the Dynasty, thus ending the rule of the Shang Dynasty.

The current song is not big, not to mention the three top cities of Chang'an, Luoyang and Wancheng. Even Hanoi is not as big as the county of Wai. However, although the song of the court is also mottled by the city wall. However, many of them are said to be relics left by the Shang Dynasty, and there is also a small section of the city wall that is said to have been left by the Shang Dynasty. Of course, whether it is true or false, Zhang Xiu will not be exquisite.

In the county government of Chaoge City, Zhang Xiu sat on the main seat in the middle. Jia Xu, Zhao Yun, and Ma sat down separately. Hu Che'er stood behind Zhang Xiu.

The army captured Hanoi on the 10th, and confiscated the property of many big families in Hanoi, leaving only some small families with little power. But Zhang Xiu didn't see the slightest joy on his face. Instead, his brows furrowed.

The horse below scolded in a low voice: "This person from the Sima family is really cunning, and it turns out that he has arranged a retreat early. also set up a suspicious situation for our army to rush to the court, but it was a failure. ”

Zhao Yun heard it and persuaded: "Forget it, Wen He has already reminded that this is a suspicious situation, but Meng Qi doesn't believe it and wants to come."

Ma heard this and argued: "But if the people of the Sima family are really here, wouldn't that let them escape?" I'm just tired when I lead my troops, and if I want to deal with our army with the ability of the Sima family, it's just an egg hitting a stone

Zhao Yun smiled and nodded. said: "Meng Qi is not without gain, he can forget most of the people in Hanoi and capture them, after Meng Qi praised half of the credit, Zhao Yun still reminded: "But Meng Qi should not be careless, this time the two sides have a huge disparity in strength, and it doesn't hurt for Meng Qi to chase after him." But if the two armies face each other, Meng Qi is still so impatient, I am afraid that he will be ambushed by the enemy. ”

Ma heard it and said with a smile: "Hey, Zilong, don't worry." Have you suffered a small loss? I know that. ”

Zhao Yun knew that Ma had a good face and knew that he had listened to it, so he nodded and stopped talking.

Zhang Xiu next to him was lightly jawed and said: "As Zilong said, it is not bad to catch all the great families of Hanoi this time." ”

Jia Xu frowned and said, "This time, our army can capture the Hanoi family in one fell swoop. I'm afraid that there is the calculation of the Sima family in it, if it weren't for the suspicion of Chaoge, General Meng Qi would not have rushed to attack Chaoge, and the Hanoi family may not be able to get rid of it all. Now these big families are a big problem for the lord

When Ma heard this, he was puzzled: "What's the big problem, they dare to assassinate the lord, just kill it?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head with a solemn expression, and said: "If you kill it, the lord will first have to be infamy, and the family has a great influence in Hanoi, if you don't grasp it well, I'm afraid it will affect the hearts of the people of Hanoi." And the Kanto family will naturally criticize the lord, if he is expelled, I am afraid that the intensity of the verbal criticism will not be less

Ma heard this, and snorted angrily: "These literati families are trouble, if they are in our Liangzhou." If you don't accept it, you will beat him

Zhang Xiu waved his hand, signaling Ma to be restless, Jia Xu saw the corner of Zhang Xiu's mouth smiling, so he asked, "Could it be that the lord has a good plan?" small

Zhang Xiu smiled: "It's not a good idea. Wen He, and sent Shadow and a large number of spies to collect the news of these families, especially whether the common people were prey on in the past, if they found all these people, they would have to testify to the crimes of these families in front of all the people, depending on the severity of the crimes, or kill or expel them. Ben has long been prepared to be the enemy of the world's families, let them say whatever they like, as long as the people's hearts are stabilized

Zhao Yun listened to Zhang Xiu's approach. nodded, this approach is obviously very fair, and Zhang Xiu's hand was also learned from Mao Taizu. After thinking about it, Zhao Yun asked again: "Lord, what should be done with those families who don't have fish and flesh?"

Zhang Xiu smiled: "If you want to stay under the rule of Ben Jiang, move to Chang'an, and leave by yourself if you don't want to." Hanoi borders Yizhou, and in the future, it will be the front line that will attack the Kanto region, and these local snakes will not be allowed to stay in Hanoi

Zhang Xiu's plan has been decided, and the matter of dealing with the family will be handled by Ma He and Chen Gong, who has just arrived. And Hanoi Taishou Mengda took the officials who came from Chang'an to enter the newly occupied land of Zhang Xiu to stabilize the people's hearts. This series of things is handled by Chen Gong and Meng Da, two stable people, and the famous horse is in charge of the butcher's knife, so it is naturally clean and neat.

To be honest, among the big families, there will naturally be some unscrupulous children, perhaps because the family style is very strict in this era, so these unscrupulous children are not unlearned and unskilled people, but they will always do some things to bully the people. Even Cao Cao and Yuan Shao stole other people's daughters-in-law when they were young, and the children of these large and small families in Hanoi are naturally not as outstanding as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and they naturally did a lot of bullying the people.

For those who have killed people, or raped too weak women, Zhang Xiu will not let go one by one. Decide all of them. If the circumstances are serious, they will sit together and be buried together with the whole family. As for the light case, it was expelled from Hanoi, and the family belongings were naturally confiscated from the General's Mansion.

The entire family of Hanoi County beheaded more than 200 people before and after. As many as 1,000 people were expelled, and countless family assets were confiscated. These families naturally hate Zhang Xiu to the core, but because Zhang Xiu has counted crimes in front of the people, the people's hearts are not too fluctuating, and they are all within Zhang Xiu's control.

Plus Zhang Xiu's officials arrived. A series of tax reduction policies have been well received by the people, and the people's morale has stabilized as a result.

On the one hand, it is bloody for the family, and on the other hand, it is very popular with the people. In this era, both the world and the hearts of the people have been darkened, and they are in troubled times. If you want to save the world, you have to kill the whole world. Those who have always intended to change the heavens must cleanse the hearts of the people of the world with blood, the families will shed blood, the army will shed blood, and the people will also bleed. It's just that the difference is whether the blood is in vain, and whether it can be successfully reversed from black to white",

Here, the Hanoi family is bleeding. Zhang Xiu was a headache for one thing.

The reason for the incident was that when Zhang Xiu's army swept through Hanoi, a key figure in the battle of Yuan Cao quietly went to Cao's camp. Yes, this person is Xu You, a strategist whose family was arrested in Handcheng and was not trusted by Yuan Shao. Xu Yu is greedy for money in character, but he can and pan very well, plus! He was friends with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao at the earliest! After the most A joint he Yuan Shao. The seniority is extremely old, so his status under Yuan Shao is extremely high.

And Xu You is a shrewd person, and he feels that Yuan Shao began to distrust him, and he who is familiar with Yuan Shao's character knows that Yuan Shao is a person who is just and slow to use himself, if he trusts. They will obey what they say, if they don't trust. No matter how reasonable you are, you won't listen.

With Yuan Shao's current distrust of him, if Yuan Shao wins this battle, I am afraid that his power will also be greatly reduced in the future.

Relatively speaking, Xu You also has a friendship with Cao Cao, and if he votes for Cao Cao at this time, he will help him defeat Yuan Shao. Xu You knew that Cao Cao's character would never treat him lightly. After thinking about it, Xu Yu quietly left Yuan Shao's camp and defected to Cao Cao.

As in history. Cao Cao got Xu Yu's guidance. Led 5,000 light horsemen to attack the Black Nest. The fire burned the grain and grass, and the general Chun Yuqiong was captured, and Cao Cao asked him to cut off his nose and put it back.

Yuan Shao was furious when he learned of this news, and did not listen to Zhang Jaw's strategy to rescue Wuchao, but listened to Guo Tu's words to attack Guandu. In this way, Yuan Shao only sent Jiang Qi to lead the light cavalry to rescue Wuchao, and the army attacked Guandu. The light cavalry that rescued Wuchao was repelled by Cao Cao in a battle, Yuan Shao rushed to attack Guandu, and did not send troops to Wuchao, but Cao Cao had enough time to burn all the grain in Wuchao.

And the Zhang Jaw and Gao Lan subordinates who attacked Guandu were also blocked by Xiahoudun and Cao Hong, who had recovered from injury, as well as Li Dian, Le Jin, Yu Ban and others. After Chun Yuqiong returned to the camp, Guo Tu was afraid that he would be investigated by Yuan Shao after he made a mistake, and saw that Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran could not break through Cao Jun's camp, so he slandered Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran for not using force.

Yuan Shao immediately sent someone to capture Zhang Jaw, but how did he know that Zhang Jaw saw through it and lowered Cao Cao with Gao Ran. After that, Cao Cao followed Xu Yu's plan again, and robbed Yuan Shao's camp with Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran as the front, and Yuan Shao lost his troops and generals. And then Xun Yu used the plan. Let Cao Cao release rumors, attack Hancheng all the way, and go all the way to Liyang to break Yuan Shao's old road. Yuan Shao was defeated one after another, his heart was in turmoil, and he divided his troops to resist when he heard the rumors, Yuan Shao's division of troops was exactly what Cao Cao thought, Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Le Jin, Yu Ban plus the newly descended Zhang Jaw, Gao Ran and Cao Cao personally led the troops, and the Eighth Route Army went out to break Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao only had 800 horsemen left to return to Hebei, and Yan Liang, Wen Chou, who were recuperating from their wounds in the camp, as well as Fu Zhu who was imprisoned in the camp, and the rest of the generals were captured by Cao Cao, and there were more soldiers who surrendered, and Cao Cao did not know the number of soldiers surrendered for a while. In short, it is far more than the number of its army.

At this point, the Battle of Guandu, which lasted for nearly a year, ended with Cao Cao's victory.

Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao in Guandu, but he had already made his way north. And Zhang Xiu's army was stationed in Chaoge, which was very close to Hancheng, the seat of Yizhou. With the degree of cavalry, as long as you cross the Zhanshui and walk for a few days, you can arrive. Yuan Shao was also afraid of Zhang Xiu's army. Therefore, he made a detour to Liyang and joined Jiang Yiqu, who was stationed in Liyang, and recruited a large number of scattered soldiers.

And when Yuan Shaotun was stationed in Liyang. Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu, Chen Gong, Zhao Yun, and Ma were urgently discussing important matters.

I only heard Ma Xian say: "Lord, don't miss the opportunity, Chaoge is only three days away from Handcheng." Our army is like a day and night. Two days away. Now that Yuan Shao has been defeated in Guandu, our army can take advantage of the situation to take Hebei, and there is no need to take down Yizhou as a whole, just capture Hancheng as an outpost for attacking Yizhou in the future. ”

The situation after the Battle of Guandu was unexpectedly unexpected by Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu. Because Zhang Xiu was anxious to destroy the Hanoi family, he sent troops to Hanoi before the victory or defeat of the battle of Guandu was decided. And it just so happened that Yuan and Cao had a big reversal during the period when Zhang Xiu swept Hanoi, and Cao Cao broke Yuan Shao, so when Zhang Xiu just broke through Chaoge. Yuan Shao had already been defeated and fled to Liyang.

As a result, the situation became a bit delicate, and Yuan Shao continued to recruit and disperse the remaining soldiers in Liyang. And Liyang is in the east of Chaoge, and the distance between the two sides is only three days away, which is a few square meters away from going to Handcheng. Cao Cao's army was stationed in Guandu, but it was on the south bank of the Yellow River in the southwest of Zhang Xiu's army.

Zhang Xiu's army is only 50,000, but all of them are elite cavalry, Yuan Shao's soldiers don't know how many to recruit back for the time being, but there should be 100,000, and Yuan Shao has already trusted Yuan Tan of Qingzhou, Yuan Xi of Youzhou, and Gaogan of Bingzhou to lead troops to help, but these three armies will arrive at the fastest for ten days.

After the battle of Cao Cao's side, there were only tens of thousands of troops left, and there were nearly 100,000 Yuan family soldiers to deal with, plus Cao Cao's grain and grass were no longer enough for him to go north, and the tripartite forces were advantageous to Zhang Xiu within ten days, and ten days later, Yuan Lun, Yuan Xi, and Gao Gan's three-way army arrived one after another, and it became Yuan Shao's advantage again.

After Ma finished speaking, Zhao Yun next to him frowned and said: "Although what Meng Qi said is reasonable, Handan City is not so easy to capture, and there is a living water moat dug outside the city to divert Zhangshui around the city. Although it is cold and the moat is frozen, it is not yet midwinter, and the ice is not thick enough for the army to cross the river, which is the first problem to face in attacking Handcheng. Although the defenders of Hancheng are few, it is the first fortified city in Hebei, and our army has neither siege equipment nor foot soldiers, so it is extremely difficult to storm Yecheng. Now the only hope that can break through Hancheng is the defeat of Yuan Shao, which leads to the distraction of the army, and there are no incompetent people in Handcheng, and the defenders surrender in fear before they have a chance to capture Handcheng, otherwise it is just a strong attack. It's too difficult, and our army only has ten days. "Zhao Yunnai is a native of Hebei, and he knows Hancheng very well, so what he says is the most authoritative here.

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, Jia Xu and Chen Gong both nodded, paused, and Chen Gong said: "But the situation at this time is extremely favorable to the lord, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

Ma heard it and said: "In this case, if you attack Liyang and kill Yuan Shao, then what's the matter." Hebei will be in chaos, and the lord will be able to attack Hebei next year. ”

When Chen Gong heard this, he shook his head and said: "How can the Liyang camp also have 100,000 troops at this time, and it will take three days for our army to go to Liyang, as long as Yuan Shao is there." With an army of 100,000, it will not be a problem to hold the camp for seven days. Sighed. Chen Gong punched the table and said: "It's a pity that the time is too short, if you take ten more days, you can only play for five days, and there will be many more choices to make, and our army does not need many scruples, you can completely let go of your hands and feet, whether it is attacking Liyang or Handancheng, you can grasp it a lot." ”
