After Cao Ang pacified the army, he began to consider continuing to go north or returning to Beijing.

"Everyone, what do you think of the current situation, is it better for the class to return to the court, or continue to wave the army north, attack Liaodong, and completely destroy Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan?"

Cao Ang looked at the group of civil and military generals, and asked his own question lightly.

As Cao Ang's words fell, Xiahoudun, who hadn't played enough, jumped out directly.

"Major General, the last general is invited to fight! This Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are both traitors and should be cut off as soon as possible! ”

Cao Ang didn't really want to continue fighting, because he knew that if he continued to fight, the money and food consumed would be an astronomical amount.

But if you don't continue to fight, it's basically all good.

Guo Jia has the same opinion as Cao Ang on the question of withdrawing troops or marching in, and they both mean to withdraw troops.

I saw Guo Jia stand up and arch his hand and said, "Major General, I suggest withdrawing the army." ”

As Guo Jia's words fell, Xiahoudun on the side was anxious.

"No, Fengxiao, this battle is not over yet, how can you withdraw the army lightly?"

All the generals didn't quite understand why they were withdrawing.

So Guo Jia directly explained to everyone: "Sometimes, if this battle is not over, it is far better than the profit after the battle. ”

"If this battle is over, then we will have to go on an expedition to Liaodong, which will not only cost a lot of money and food, but also have to travel a long distance."

"The officers and men in the battalion have been fighting outside for a long time, and if they go on an expedition to Liaodong again, they won't be able to take it in three or five months."

Xiahoudun knew that what Guo Jia said made sense, but he still wanted to fight for it again.

"But an expedition to Liaodong can destroy Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao in one fell swoop, and solve the two great enemies at once, shouldn't it be an expedition?"

Guo Jia smiled when he heard this: "This is exactly what I want to say next, if you don't go to Liaodong, what are the benefits." ”

"After Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan occupy Liaodong, they will definitely develop their forces there and recruit troops in order to make a comeback."

"And Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan's biggest enemies, in addition to us, there are also Han Fu and Liu Yu! These two people have been suppressed by Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan before, and they have been grudges for a long time. ”

"If we let Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao develop in Liaodong, the first ones who can't sit still will be the two of them."

"Although Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan no longer have any power, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the two of them are still powerful under their command."

"Leaving that Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao is also used to contain the two of them, so we can take this opportunity to run this Jizhou and Youzhou."

"When we completely control the counties in the south of Jizhou and Youzhou, at that time, it will be the time when Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan are defeated!"

Guo Jia's analysis coincided with Cao Ang's thoughts.

The strategists and Guo Jia all had similar ideas, so they didn't say much.

As for those generals, they looked at each other one by one, and they couldn't imagine that there were so many sayings in this battle whether they would fight or not.

After Cao Ang saw that the generals no longer objected, he made a decision directly.

"Okay, since that's the case, then let's go back to Beijing!"

As Cao Ang's order spread throughout the three armies, the faces of those soldiers were all filled with joy.

After all, in the first lunar month, Cao Ang personally led the army to the battle.

Although this battle was devastating, it also took a lot of time.

Right now, it's April when the snow has melted and spring is blooming.

On the way back to Beijing, Xiahoudun couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "We didn't continue to fight Liaodong, if we fight for another three or five months, then we can't fight directly until winter." ”

When everyone heard this, their faces were full of smiles.

It was hard for them to believe that Xiahoudun, a martial artist, would still sigh about this.

In fact, for soldiers in ancient times, it was normal to march and fight without home for a year or even a few years.

Fortunately, they have Cao Ang, a general who is compassionate to soldiers and loves soldiers like children.

When others are fighting, when they are in a stalemate, they may choose to take the lives of their soldiers.

But Cao Ang is different, he will not let the soldiers die in vain, and when fighting, he will also minimize casualties, and the people-oriented thing is vividly reflected.

Later, Guo Jia asked Cao Ang once why he cherished the lives of the soldiers so much, even after the city was broken, he would not let the soldiers slaughter, and he mainly persuaded the enemy to surrender, and those who did not surrender would be given the passage fee to let them go home.

When Cao Ang heard these questions, he thought of a person, and then responded: "People-oriented, is the right way, we call back and forth, saying that it is for the peace of the world, but in fact, it is just for those powers." ”

"What I want to do is to build a real peaceful world, a world where everyone can be fed and clothed, if before this world is established, everyone dies, then what is the point of this world being established?"

"Besides, the people living in this land are all descendants of Yan and Huang, how can we, who are from the same clan, wantonly kill each other?"

After Guo Jia listened to Cao Ang's words, he began to think.

After all, in this era of treating human life as a mustard, the word people-oriented has never appeared.

……

In the city of Luoyang, the imperial palace.

Liu Wei is under the assistance of Cao Cao, reviewing the folds.

The original Liu Wei favored a male pet, and his attitude towards Cao's father and son also changed a little, and he was unwilling to pay attention to the government.

Cao Ang doesn't have a good way to do this kind of thing, after all, this is a harem thing.

As a courtier, he can't go to court with a sword and force the emperor not to favor that male pet.

As a result, after Cao Ang set out on the expedition, Cao Cao only needed one move to break Liu Bian.

Cao Cao believes that Liu Wei will get such an illness because he has not seen a real woman.

After all, Liu Wei is not very old, and the concubines he chose are basically about fourteen or fifteen years old.

A girl who has just developed is not attractive.

After a long time, Liu Wei's attitude slowly changed.

But after Cao Cao took Liu Wei out for a walk, Liu Wei immediately understood a sentence: women are made of water.

So, he didn't trust the male pet anymore, and slowly returned to normal.

Above the court, after learning that Cao Ang had returned with a great victory and was about to return to the court, Liu Wei was overjoyed.

"Good! The hussar general is coming back, and I will personally go to the gate to meet him! ”
