Chapter 49 Nanguanghua sent troops to Nanman Cao Mengde pacified Hebei (42

Although Cao Cao has won the land of Hebei, the Yuan family has been operating in Hebei for many years and is quite prestigious. Cao Cao was worried that there was chaos in Hebei and did not dare to retreat back easily, so he stationed troops in Ye City to govern the soldiers and the people.

One day, Xu Chu walked into the East Gate and met Xu You. Xu You called Xu Chu and said, "If you don't have me, can you get in and out of this door?"

Xu Chu was not used to Xu You's usual call on the name of Cao Cao. Today, when he saw his arrogant attitude, he said angrily, "We have been working hard to fight to the death and seize the city. How dare you boast here?"

Xu You holds his own merit and does not pay attention to Cao Cao's literary and martial arts. Even when he sees Cao Cao, he regards himself as an old man and does not call himself the lord. At this time, he was hit by Xu Chu and hit by fire, and scolded, "You are all like husbands. How can it be!"

Xu Chu was furious and drew his sword to kill Xu You. He raised his head to see Cao Cao and said, "Xu You is rude. I have killed him. Please treat him."

Cao Cao has also seen Xu You for a long time. He has repeatedly tolerated it before, one because Xu You has meritorious deeds, and the other is because Cao Cao's strength is still weak and he has to be a virtuous and sergeant. Now that Cao has obtained the four prefectures of Hebei, plus the land of Sili, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Xuzhou, most of the world belongs to it, and he can't allow You to always violate his majesty.

Xu Chu killed Xu You, and Cao cheered in his heart, but he said, "Ziyuan and I are old friends, so it's just a joke. Why do you have to kill him? It's just that people can't be resurrated after death. It's useless for me to blame you, and I will punish you for a year's salary for heavy burial.

As soon as Cao Cao said this, he was relieved and knew that Cao had no intention to punish him severely, so he thanked him. Cao Cao lost Xu You and remembered that there were many famous people in Hebei, which made people visit sages everywhere.

The people of Jizhou said: "Li Cui Yan, a native of Dongwu City, Qinghe. He is handsome and good-looking. Several times, Yuan Shao offered it to Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao did not obey, so he stayed at home.

Cao Cao called Cui Yan to work as a driver and said, "according to the household registration of this state, there are a total of 300,000 people, which can be called a big state." After his words, he was happy.

Cui Yan said, "Now the world has collapsed, Kyushu has cracked, the war has continued, and the people of Jizhou are in a violent wilderness. If the Prime Minister does not give him a first aid, but first calculates the gains and losses of the school's household registration, won't it displunder the people of Honshu?

Cao Cao was deeply convinced when he heard the words and ordered to open a warehouse to release grain to relieve the people, waiting for Cui Yan to be the guest. Later, Cao Cao recruited several Hebei generals, including Ma Yan, Zhang Wei and others.

Just as Cao recruited the generals and collected the hearts of the people, news came from Youzhou that Wu Huan and Shanyu were also attracting people to take advantage of the defeat of Yuan Mai and threatened to avenge the Yuan family. There are many people who have devoted their hearts to the Yuan family, and there are no more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians.

Cao Cao was furious and summoned the generals to discuss entering Wuhuan. Cao Hong and other generals said, "The Yuan family will be defeated and will be exhausted. The rest of the party has nowhere to hide. It is no longer a fear to go to the desert. Now that the troops have been led, if Liu Bei and Liu Biao take advantage of the false attack on Xudu, we will not be able to save them. Please don't go back to the teacher."

Xun You said, "What the public said is wrong! Yuan Shao and Wuhuan are kind, and they want to be the enemy of the Lord, which is a big trouble and cannot be eliminated. People in the desert will not be able to defend themselves from the distance. Now they can be broken by taking advantage of their unprepared soldiers. If they sit big in the future, there will be no peace in the two states.

As for Liu Biao's guests, it is not enough to control Liu Bei. If it is a heavy task, it may not be controlled, and if it is light, it will not be useful. Although the lord is on an expedition, he is also worry-free.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "The words of Gongda are extremely true!" So he led the three armies, large and small, with thousands of vehicles, hoping that Wuhuan should go forward.

As soon as the army left the boundary of Youzhou, they saw the yellow desert. The wind was blowing, the roads were rugged, and it was difficult for people and horses to walk. When the soldiers struggled to walk, Cao Cao had the intention of returning to the army and asked Yu You, "I see the ruggedness of the north. How about returning to the army?"

Xun You said, "The soldiers are so fast. Nowadays, thousands of miles of people are attacked, and it is difficult to drive. It is better for light soldiers to attack them unpreparedly. But those who know the path must be guided.

Cao Cao came to find the geography of Wuhuan, the assassin of Youzhou. Wuhuan replied, "There is water in autumn and summer, shallow without carriages and horses, deep without boats, which is the most difficult to move. It's better to return to the army, cross the danger of white sandalwood from Lu Longkou, go out of the empty land, and go to Liucheng to attack it unprepared. You can be captured in a battle.

Cao followed his words and made Wu Huan as the general of Zhenbei and became a guide as the forerunner. Xiahou Dun was the Chinese army, and Cao Cao pushed back and rode lightly.

Wuhuan led Xiahou Dun to the White Wolf Mountain, and he was leading tens of thousands of riders. Xiahou Dunfei reported to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao looked up at him and saw that there was no team of soldiers. Then he said to Xiahou Dun, "If the enemy soldiers are not organized, they can be attacked." After saying that, the generals will listen to Xiahou Dun's dispatch.

Xiahou Dun led Xu Chu, Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin and Cao Ren down the mountain in four ways, and fought hard to attack and burst into chaos. Xiahou Dun patted the horse and rushed to the front, cut down under the horse, and the rest of the people surrendered.

Cao Cao recapitulated troops into Liucheng and made Wuhuan the Marquis of Liuting to defend Liucheng. He also comforted the rest of the Wuhuan Shanyu people, received tens of thousands of horses, and returned to the army on the same day.

At that time, the weather was cold and dry, 200 miles without water, and the army was short of food, so they had to kill horses for food and chisel 30 to 40 feet of land to get water. Along the way, the soldiers suffered unspeakably, tired, sick and hungry, and there were many dead.

Although Cao Cao won this battle, he did not take advantage of it. When he returned to Youzhou, Cao Cao said to the generals, "This dangerous expedition was a lucky success. Although it wins, God bless you. Such expeditions should not be done often in the future, so as not to waste people's money.

Wuhuan Yiping, Liaodong Gongsun Du surrendered, obviously afraid of Cao Cao's prestige. Cao Cao also suffered a lot after the battle of Wuhuan. He didn't want to go on an expedition to Liaodong, so he accepted Gongsun Du's seal and made Gongsun Du the Marquis of Xiangping to calm him.

After Cao led the troops back to Jizhou, Cheng Yu and others asked: "The north has been established, and the lord should return Xudu as soon as possible and set a plan for the south of the Yangtze River."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "I have this ambition for a long time! What you said is exactly what I want."

That night, Cao Cao stayed on the east corner of Yecheng and looked up at astronomy. Suddenly seeing Xun You on his side, Cao Cao pointed to the south and said, "The south is full of vitality, and the stars are bright. I'm afraid it's impossible."

Xun You knew that Cao Cao was the guide Ye, Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others, so he said, "Who is not convinced by the Prime Minister Tianwei?"

Cao Cao smiled when he heard the words and was about to say it again when suddenly a golden light rose from the ground. Cao Cao asked, "What is the sign of this light?"

Xun You said, "Congratulations to Prime Minister! There must be treasure underground."

Cao Cao was overjoyed and sent Qiu Zhonglang and the captain of the gold under his command to dig it. The sergeants dug three feet of the ground at Jinguang and dug out a bronze finch. Cao Cao asked Xun You, "What's the sign?"

Xun You said, "Xi Shun's mother dreamed of the jade sparrow and gave birth to Shun. Today's copper finch is also an auspicious omen.

Cao Cao was overjoyed and ordered people to build a high platform to celebrate it. On the same day, the ground was broken and the construction was started, burning tiles and grinding bricks, and the copper sparrow platform was built on the Zhang River, which is expected to be completed in one year.

Cao Zhi said: "If you build a platform to celebrate auspiciousness, you must set up three to be strong. The tall one in the middle is called Copper Sparrow. The one on the left is called Yulong. The one on the right is called Jin Feng. Make two more flying bridges and go up in the sky to make it spectacular.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "What my son said is very good! He is successful every day, which is enough to please me all my life!"

It turns out that Cao Cao has five sons, but Cao Zhi is sensitive and good at writing. Cao Cao's favorite is usually. So Cao Zhi was left to build a bronze sparrow platform in Yecheng. Cao Cao led hundreds of thousands of Yuan's soldiers back to Xuchang and became a meritorious minister.

When Hebei had been decided, Cao Cao gathered a group of counselors to discuss and wanted to march south on Liu Bei and Liu Biao. Xun Yu advised: "The army has only returned from the north and cannot be moved again. And after half a year of cultivation, Liu Biao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan can go down with one drum.

Cao Cao followed his words and divided his troops to rest and recuperate. When the time comes, the army will march south and unify the world.

When Cao Cao fought in the north, Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu in the West, and Liu Biao and Sun Quan in the East also had some border frictions, but the scale was small. As Cao Cao annexed the four states, all the princes also stopped and regarded Cao Cao as the number one enemy.

However, he said that when Liu Bei arrived in Jingzhou, Liu Biao treated him very much, with a small banquet on three days and a big banquet on the fifth day. There are three reasons why Liu Biao is so kind to Liu Bei. One is that Liu Biao and Liu Bei are both Han relatives. Second, Liu Biao wants to attract Liu Bei to fight against Cao Cao. Third, Liu Biao knew that Liu Bei had a good relationship with Nan Ye.

On this day, the two were gathering for drinking, and suddenly reported that Zhang Wu and Chen Sun had plundered the people in Jiangxia and plotted a rebellion. Liubiao was shocked and said, "It's a great disaster for the two thieves to rebel!"

Liu Bei said, "Brother, don't worry about it. I'm willing to ask for it."

Liu Biao was overjoyed and ordered 30,000 people to order Liu Bei to fight against the thieves. Liu Bei took the order and came to Jiangxia. Zhang Wu and Chen Sun led troops to welcome them.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Chen came out together under the door flag and saw Zhang Wu riding a white horse, which was extremely majestic. Liu Bei said, "This must be a thousand miles!"

Before the words fell, Guan Yu rode his claws and Huang Feidian waved a knife and rushed straight to the front of the thieves' army. Zhang Wu came to greet him. He was cut off by Guan Yu with a knife. Guan Yu casually grabbed the white horse's t lead and led the horse back to the front.

Chen Sun saw it and came to seize the horse. Zhang Fei shouted, straightened his spear, stabbed Chen Sun to death, and the thieves dispersed. Liu Bei recruited An Yu Party, restored the counties in Jiangxia, and returned to the class.

When Liu Biao saw Liu Bei coming out, he was very happy to quell the rebellion and went out to welcome him into the city and hold a banquet to celebrate his achievements. When the wine was half full, Liu Biao said, "My brother is so talented that Jingzhou relies on him. But Zhang Lu and Sun Quan are all in trouble when they come to South Vietnam.

Liu Bei said, "I have three generals, all of which can be reused. Yunchang can guard Zicheng to control Zhang Lu. Yide can tour the territory of Nanyue. Uncle Zhi can refuse Sun Quan. What's wrong with your brother?"

Liu Biao was overjoyed and wanted to follow his words. Cai Mao was very unhappy when he heard it during the banquet and told his sister Mrs. Cai, "Liu Bei wants to send three generals to lead troops and live in Jingzhou. It must be a problem for such a long time."

Mrs. Cai said to Liu Biao at night: "I heard that many Jingzhou scholars have made friends with Liu Bei, and this matter is inevitable. It's useless for Liu Bei to live in the city. It's better to send him somewhere else.

Liu Biao said disapprovingly, "Xuande is also a benevolent person! It won't be against me."

Mrs. Cai said, "I'm just afraid that his heart is not like yours."

Liu Biao was a little moved by the wind by the pillow, so he meditated and didn't answer. Mrs. Cai also knew that it was not enough, so she didn't say much.
