"Report - a big victory! The Northern Expedition took 12,000 heads—"

Xudu, Jizhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Jingzhou and other places have received Zhou Yu's good news, and the old ministers of the Han family in Xudu are in tears, sighing that the sky has eyes and a big man to reappear as the champion Hou, and Zhou Yu has the momentum to keep pace with the champion Hou Huo's illness. On the tables of the princes from all walks of life are the battle reports of Zhou Yu that spread the world. In ancient wars, if you want to get military merit, you must rely on the enemy's head, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has not won a big victory, almost every year will send and pro-envoys to the Xiongnu, it can be said that the Han Dynasty, which has a lot of land and resources, has been at a disadvantage in the war against the Xiongnu. According to the practice of the Han Dynasty in the past, they will not be armed, but send envoys to pay tribute to sue for peace, this time to be able to fight the Xiongnu is largely the division of the princes, the general Yuan Shao is afraid that his own interests will be damaged, Cao Cao wants to be a loyal minister to serve the country, Zhou Yu wants to expel foreign people and protect the Han people. On the other hand, the soldiers are also strong and strong, and they are not afraid of the Huns, and the three strongest princes are willing to send troops to deal with the Huns, and the other princes will turn a blind eye, but no one expected the victory to come so suddenly.

"Giving birth to a son should be like Zhou Gongjin-" Cao Cao raised troops to avenge his father and crusade against Xuzhou Tao Qian, but Tao Qian had already sent the head of the offender to Xudu before, not only that, Tao Qian also compensated Cao Cao for jewelry, jade and other things to calm the anger in Cao Cao's heart, it can be said that Tao Qian almost knocked his head to the ground, and Cao Cao still sent troops to attack Xuzhou. Liu Bei pit Cao Cao's soldiers and horses by virtue of the reputation of the emperor's uncle, a strong entry into Xuzhou to become the actual state pastor of Xuzhou, Liu Bei has the territory of soldiers and horses after the means began to be unusual, he married Mrs. Mi who was twenty years younger than him, Xuzhou's Mi Zhu began to fully support Liu Bei, Tao Qian did not wait for Cao Cao to come over and had already driven the crane west, and when Cao Cao raised troops to start marching into Xuzhou, Liu Bei had already built Xuzhou in the iron barrel, and he also sent Mi Zhu as a lobbyist to invite the flying general Lu Bu to settle in Xiapi City as a horn for each other, Ask Yuan Shu to send troops and horses to attack Cao Cao. Cao Cao fought with Liu Bei all the way, and when Lu Bu and Yuan Shu brought troops to support, Cao Cao could only withdraw to Xu Capital with his men and horses. Cao Cao's food and grass soldiers were insufficient, so he could only stay in Xudu to start recuperating, and he jumped up quickly when he learned that Zhou Yu was excited about his victory.

"My lord-Zhou Gongjin is really a genius, a newly built army to conquer the north is actually stronger than Yuan Shao's Jizhou army, I don't know what kind of mood Yuan Shao will be in!" Xun Yu touched his beard and he had predicted Yuan Shao's approach, in contrast to Cao Cao learned that such a big victory would definitely not lag behind, but he said that the Son of Heaven wanted to add an official to Zhou Yu, the disaster of the Huns is the disaster of destroying the country and destroying the clan, which is also the reason why he Xun Yu is loyal to Cao Cao, he always believes that Cao Cao's loyalty to the Han Dynasty whether it is an edict or a welcome to the Son of Heaven into the capital, compared to Zhou Yu, he still values Cao Cao's old and steady, but Guo Jia follows Zhou Yu is also considered to be the best of his talents, and the first military division of Yangzhou is well deserved, I just don't know what it will be like to meet on the battlefield in the future?

"Haha-Yuan Shao is a short-sighted person, he is in the mood to subdue Youzhou in the face of the national disaster, but there are indeed capable people under his command, and he quietly instigated Gongsun Zhan's civil strife, but it is a pity that Gongsun Bogui I hero ended up like this! However, for Zhou Gongjin Gongsun Bogui, such a battlefield general must be rewarded, so as to show the court's favor to loyal ministers! On the table, the Son of Heaven played Zhou Yu as the general of the hussars, the Marquis of Dingbei, and Gongsun Bogui as Beiping, and his children could inherit the title. In order to express the court's condolences to the front-line soldiers, all the officers and soldiers of the Northern Army were rewarded for their great achievements once, and on the day of triumph. Cao Cao will not be confused in the face of national righteousness, he decided to give Zhou Yu the honor of the Northern Army to the greatest extent, as for Gongsun Zhan of Youzhou is already yesterday's yellow flower, in the name of the imperial court to give him a marquis, it can be regarded as another kind of mourning for him Cao Cao to the hero, but also disgusting Yuan Benchu, with Gongsun Zhan's nephew in Youzhou to drag Yuan Shao's hind legs, Yuan Shao can only leave heavy troops to garrison, which can be regarded as a cash to contain Yuan Shao.

In addition to the camp set up in Pingcheng, in addition to placing the front-line grain and grass, Yuan Shao led the troops to Youzhou in order to solve the situation in Youzhou, due to the early Xu Yu's plan to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle so that the Gongsun Chan clan had internal strife, and the brothers and nephews in order to compete for the rights of Youzhou, the initial quarrel between them began to evolve into a disaster of swords, Gongsun Chan was unable to suppress these riots due to the recurrence of old injuries, Bai Ma Yi never had Gongsun Zan orders not to attack, and Yan Gang, the general of Youzhou, could not command Bai Ma Yicong, After Gongsun Zhan's illness worsened, he, the commander of the White Horse Yicong, was even more isolated and suspicious, and there was no real power to control Youzhou. Yuan Shao only took Gao Lan Liyi and 5,000 Xiandeng army to Beiping City day and night, for the Jizhou army Youzhou army that fell from the sky did not have time to stop the resistance, and was rushed into Beiping City by the Xiandeng army of Liyi, Gongsun Zhan's uncle and brother and nephew were captured by Yuan Shao, there was no way to be held by Yuan Shao in his hands, Youzhou finally fell into the hands of Yuan Shao, he left his eldest son Yuan Shang to guard Youzhou, and the second son Yuan Xi to guard the Bohai Sea, and he left his favorite third son Yuan Tan by his side to guard Jizhou.

"Lord-you still have a high opinion, Zhou Yu and they take the lead in front of them, and achieve the reputation of a general!" Zhou Yu's battle report of the great victory was placed on the table of Jizhou Mansion, and Guo Tu saw Yuan Shao's face with joy and hurriedly patted it.

"Haha-Zhou Gongjin was also the little brother who used to mess with me, this kid really has a way of fighting in addition to being disobedient, even if he is debauched, he has to obey my orders? What's going on with Cao Cao? I heard that the imperial court gave Zhou Yu a heavy reward - "Yuan Shao already knew that Zhou Yu was crowned the hussar general Dingbei Marquis, but he was dissatisfied with Zhou Yu's fame so great that he almost had a tendency to overshadow himself."

"The lord - the northern army is Zhou Yu's soldiers and horses, although he has established a great merit in the state, it is also the result of the coordinated operation of General Yan Liangwen Chou, Zhou Yu alone will take the credit alone, I am afraid that the time will be big, once they defeat the Hun invasion, it will directly threaten our control of the state, the lord can consider whether Zhou Yu will easily give up the state? I'm afraid that it's easy to invite God and it's difficult to send God-" Xu You just likes to compete with Guo Tu, as long as Guo Tu says it is feasible, he will definitely say no, on the one hand, it is to compete for favor in front of Yuan Shao, on the other hand, Zhou Yu's victory will not only bring the state to their hearts, but also that they will directly lose control of the state.

Being reminded by Xu You like this, Yuan Shao was tantamount to being cold from head to toe by a basin of cold water, and he woke up trembling all over, sure enough, what Xu You said was true, and now he Yuan Shao has Youzhou and Jizhou Qingzhou sits on the land of Sizhou, and the soldiers under his command can raise millions of weight, and the four states are located in the hinterland of the Central Plains with sufficient grain and grass, but the Xiongnu invaded and merged with the state for half a year, and his Jizhou army was led by the general and could not fight against the Hun iron cavalry, but Zhou Yu's new army was able to kill more than 10,000 enemy troops, and there were prisoners in hand-

Whether it is means or ability, Zhou Yu is really terrible, he will be a big rival besides Cao Cao, since he is a strong opponent, then he can only be a friend of the dead Dao and not a dead poor Dao - Yuan Shao secretly gave a military order to Yan Liangwen Chou of Yanmen Pass.
