-- The book continues --

After this battle, Yuan Shao basically found out the strength of Cao's army on Guandu, and in the middle of the night, Xun Yu and Guo Jia walked on the camp wall, looking at the night outside.

Cao Cao held on to Yuan Shao for a long time, the people were tired, and many rebelled against Yuan Shao, and Cao's army lacked food.

Yuan Shao also sent a car to transport grain, and ordered Chun Yuqiong to lead 10,000 troops to escort it.

Cao Cao has revealed his defeat. Our army only needs to take it step by step, and slowly figure it out, Cao's army will be defeated, why should the general be in a hurry?

Fu Zhu suggested sending Jiang Qi to lead the support army in the appearance of the grain transport army to cut off the plunder of Cao's army, but Yuan Shao refused.

Chun Yuqiong led a grain transport army with no external reinforcements to stay overnight in Wuchao, only forty miles away from Yuan's army camp.

"Definitely." As soon as the frustrated words fell, one person objected.

"Needless to say." Yuan Shao pressed his hand: "I have my own opinions on this matter." ”

The discussion dispersed, Xu You walked back to his tent alone, and Xu Yu pondered in the tent: "Good birds choose trees to perch. ”

At night, Cao Cao frowned, and a voice came from outside the tent.

"Wen Yuan, why are you here this night?"

"Lord, there is a person from Yuan Ying who voted tonight, can the lord be seen?"

Fusheng stole half a day of leisure, and after all, he still has to get back on track.

Cao Cao immediately put it into practice, leaving Cao Hong and Xun Yu to guard the camp, personally led 5,000 foot cavalry, fraudulently used the banner of Yuan Jun, tied the mouth of the horse, each brought a bundle of firewood and grass, and took advantage of the dark night to take the path to sneak attack the black nest.

Immediately upon arrival, the siege was set on fire.

Under the night sky was the swept firelight, the flames shrouded in the camp raging, the smoke was billowing out, Yuan Shao, who was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes, got up and sat up, on the one hand, he sent light cavalry to rescue, and on the other hand, he ordered Ning Guozhonglang to lead Zhang He and the general Gao Ran to lead a heavy army to storm the Cao army camp.

Cao camp is strong, can not attack, when the Cao army rushed to attack the Wuchao Chun Yu Qiong camp, Yuan Shao's reinforcements of the troops have been approaching, Cao Cao Li Shi fought to the death, broke the Yuan army, Cao Jun Xiao will Le Jin kill Chun Yu Qiong and others, and burn all its grain and grass.

The chaos of the Yuan army could not stop Cao Cao, and it dragged on for more than an hour, and the Yuan army was already dead and wounded.

Wuchao's grain and grass were burned by a fire, Yuan Shao was robbed and killed by Yin Lihua, there is no history Yuan Shao hurriedly led 800 cavalry back to Hebei, Gao Ran and Zhang He, who attacked Cao Ying, could not capture Cao Ying for a long time, until they learned the news of Wuchao and led the people to surrender to Cao Cao.

The Battle of Guandu strengthened Cao Cao's strength, laid a solid foundation for the unification of the north, and Cao's army captured Fu Zhu alive. At first, Cao Cao pardoned him and treated him favorably, but in the end, he was killed by Cao Cao because he wanted to return to Yuan Shao's camp.

Cao Cao found some people in Xu County and the army in Yuan Shao's camp, and wrote a letter to Yuan Shao, and he ordered all the letters to be burned to appease the opposition.

After the victory of the Battle of Guandu, the Yuan family was left with Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, Yuan Tan surrendered, and Yin Lihua directly led the troops to destroy Gongsun Kang of Yandi.

The general trend of the world, if you divide for a long time, you will be together for a long time, and you must divide for a long time, maybe this is just a loss of human nature.

The city gate of Xuchang is always crowded, and now that the four places are in turmoil, Cao Cao has always been appointing scholars, but he has also been guarding against scholars. He understood the power of the scholars, and where the scholars could do the trouble, it was in the land, the food, the wealth, and the large number of scholars who were appointed. Once they make it bigger, it is equivalent to being hollowed out. But now for him, he no longer has to be restrained by the scholars.

As long as he guarantees that the real power and strength do not flow into the hands of the scholars, the scholars will always be the sword in his hands and will never threaten himself.

After Yuan Shao's death, the three states of Hebei were left ownerless, but Cao Cao never waved his army to attack, but waited quietly.

Cao Cao ordered Xiahoudun, who had already garrisoned on his side, to lead the army to the expedition, and took advantage of Yuan Shang to send troops to attack Yuan Xi and march to besiege Yecheng. Yuan Shang asked for surrender, and Cao Cao killed him.

Liu Biao single-handedly entered Jingzhou and pacified the chaotic land at that time, and he was a hero. But after entering Jingzhou, he did not come out of the capital, and it also smoothed out his ambitions. But the hero of the year is now just a dog.

Yizhou Liu Zhang and Hanzhong Zhang Lu have been at odds all year round, and they have been fighting openly and secretly, and the two are not tolerated, let alone outward.

At this time, the daughter of Cai Yong, a famous scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Yan, the word Zhaoji, and later Sima Zhao, this garbage, did not want to have a name with a woman, so she changed Zhaoji to Wen Ji.

Zhao Ji returned to the Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao directly married Cai Zhaoji to Dong Ci, the commander of Tuntian (official name), as a concubine (historically said to be a wife, but in the eyes of Confucianism, she was a low-level concubine. ）

With the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao rose rapidly, and under Yin Lihua's behind-the-scenes advice, he was even more powerful than in history!

After several years of development, Cao Cao decided to go south after the beginning of spring!

…………

At this time, Liu Bei from the new wild land came out of the house, looked at the sky outside, and reported that Liu Biao was seriously ill and wanted to meet him, Liu Bei and his team set off from Fancheng and went straight to Xiangyang.

Liu Biao's lips were pale, and he glanced at Liu Bei deeply, with a lot of meaning in his eyes, including closeness, helplessness, regret and suspicion.

Liu Biao died of illness, and his concubine Liu Cong succeeded Jingzhou, and within a month, Cao Cao really entered the south.

Liu Bei led his army to Fancheng, but he didn't know that Liu Cong had ordered someone to surrender to Cao Cao. It wasn't until Cao Cao's military horse arrived in Wancheng that Liu Bei received the news from someone sent by Liu Cong.

When Liu Bei withdrew, many people in Jingzhou abandoned Liu Cong and accompanied him, and in the end, there were more than 100,000 people. (Liu Bei's demagogic effect, Zhuge Liang's plan, it can be seen that there are many ignorant people.) ）

"Liu Bei led the people east? But with 100,000 people, how far does he think he can go? Cao Cao sat up straight and raised his eyes.

"Meng De, no, this is Liu Beiyang's scheme, just let you chase and bear the notoriety!" Yin Lihua directly interrupted Cao Cao's order.

"Oh? What do you think, sir? Cao Cao asked.

"Let's let people follow behind and say Liu Bei......"

Cao Cao asked people to be behind Liu Bei, saying that Liu Bei is a villain, Liu Bei is a fake clansman, he deceived you and let the people die, Cao Cao will not chase it, will not hurt the people, and let Liu Bei, a shameless villain, go.

Hearing these words, many people began to waver, and found that Cao Cao really did not chase after him, Liu Bei was a little panicked, but Liu Bei asked people to pretend that Cao Cao's subordinates began to kill the people, and the people thought that Cao Cao was deceiving, Liu Bei ordered the military horses to stop, trimmed on the side of the road, and said with a sad face: "Kong Ming, I am wondering if I can really reach Jiangxia safely on this trip." ”

"Lord, rest assured!" Yin Lihua found Cao Chun, who led the tiger and leopard cavalry, dusk was approaching, the wind was hunting, and it swept on the road like a burst of crying, Cao Cao sat on a car, looked at the people of Jingzhou and Liu Bei's soldiers and horses below, stood up, and the red cloak draped behind his back moved with the wind.

Seeing Liu Bei walking away, Zhang Feicai gritted his teeth, looked at the formation, and waved the spear in his hand hatefully and retreated.

Zhao Yun looked back, he didn't find Liu Bei, nor did he find Liu Bei's family, he clenched his spear, and was about to kill back again, when he suddenly heard a call.

"The master mother and son are still in the Cao army, I should go back, righteousness goes, life and death go together." A white horse was killed, the soldiers and horses were strife, everyone fled, Zhao Yun found a leaning carriage by a dry well, there was a faint cry in the carriage, opened the curtain and lay a baby who was still in swaddling clothes, Mi Zhen was hit by an arrow in the back, there was no sound, Zhao Yun stretched out his hand and gently took out the child in the woman's hand.

Cao Jun wanted to stop Zhao Yun, but wherever he passed, no one could stop him from shooting.

Cao Cao looked at the scene below, the people were scattered, there were countless casualties, and suddenly, a white horse rushed out of the army in the midst of the siege and killed outside the army.

Cao Cao's eyes showed a strange look, and he pointed to Zhao Yun in the army and said, "Who is this person?" ”

"Prime Minister, I don't know."

"The white armor general, leave your name!" Cao Cao shouted to Zhao Yun.

"I am Changshan, Zhao Zilong!"

"Prime Minister, the last general is willing to stop this person."

"No need, just let him go, the tiger and leopard rode to chase Liu Bei, and then ordered Mr. to lead the army from Jiangling to block it together, and the rest of the troops stayed here. Others pacified the remaining people and put their baggage in order. ”

"No!"

Liu Bei had escaped from the pursuit of Cao Jun, Liu Bei sat on his horse with a dejected expression, his shoulders drooped, Zhang Fei, who was standing on the side, led his somewhat panicked war horse and walked over, and his somewhat rough face was silent for a while: "Big brother, I can lead an army to stay behind to block the pursuers." ”

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "No need, you go with me." ”

"Big brother, be careful on the road!" With a loud shout, Zhang Fei led a kind of cavalry army away, and Liu Bei's hand holding the reins was trembling.
