Chapter 85

. Looking down from the hillside through the newly produced improved monocular telescope, you can clearly see that on the vast plains below Jingshan, Xinye, who were scattered by Cao's army and the people of Fancheng were surrounded by a group of Cao's soldiers who were trembling like wolves and tigers around them. Cao's soldiers, who were trained quickly, divided some of their men to comfort the people who were unable to escape, and then organized them to return along the road they came. However, more people were running aimlessly. Pots, pans, clothes, quilts, packages, boxes and other things were scattered all over the mountains, and those pigs, dogs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese and other livestock that were several times more numerous than the people had caused heavy obstacles to the army's progress.

In addition to these unarmed ordinary people and scattered items, there were Liu Bei's soldiers.

Yes! It's Liu Bei's soldiers! There is no expression error. Those who have formed a tiny restraint on Cao's advance are Liu Bei's soldiers rather than his troops!

Looking around, Liu Bei's army no longer had organized resistance, but the soldiers loyal to Liu Bei were as powerless as mantis blocking a chariot, but they were so determined to rush out of the grass, and rushed out of the woods and in all places where they could hide, just like moths flying into fire.

Looking at the soldiers who had shed their last drop of blood from afar, I felt so heartbroken! These men of great men were not resisting the invasion of foreign races, but died in vain in their own hands. How great would it be if they could scatter their blood on the grassland and Gobi!

Since the storm a few years ago, Cao Cao took advantage of the opportunity of the emperor to reform the official system and controlled the government more firmly. Emperor Xian of Han completely lost his political freedom, and even the power to give irrelevant decrees to the princes in various places was gone. In addition to a small number of royal confidants, the imperial council was completely controlled by Cao Cao's confidants. The emperor's only use now was to use it as a seal machine. Xu Du's declining royal power could not bring any guarantees to the emperor. The management of the imperial farm, which was mainly agriculture, was also booming. But in addition to maintaining normal royal expenses, it was difficult to have enough money to win people's hearts for the emperor.

After knowing my thoughts, I don’t know if it’s a tentative or a real idea. Cao Cao hinted that if I replace the Han Dynasty in the future, I would give me a position similar to the ‘King of Side by Side by Side by. Faced with such a blank check, of course I would refuse, but if I refuse, I still made a small request, that is, to lend me a 50,000 army to attack Japan fifteen years later, and then use it as a fief for my eldest son Guo Yi, and I still assisted the Cao family until I was 60 years old before going to my hometown to retire. Cao Cao agreed to me with such a request.

According to the emperor's wishes, Yuan Shao became the first chairman of the Imperial Military Affairs Committee. Unfortunately, Yuan Shao did not have this rare opportunity to re-confront Cao Cao politically. When the envoy who carried the emperor's will conveyed to Yuan Shao that he would come to Xu Du to take charge of military affairs. Yuan Shao, who was so smart, believed that this was just Cao Cao using the power of victory to force himself to surrender to Xu Du, and actually killed the envoy. With this excuse, Cao Cao certainly would not miss it. He immediately posted the list of the list to the world to release Yuan Shao's murder of the emperor's envoy.

Liu Biao, Liu Zhang and Liu Bei, three Han clan relatives who still have certain strength, all expressed their support for Cao Cao's conquest. Sun Quan from Jiangdong was committed to stabilizing the hearts of the people. He was desperate for the war between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. Ma Teng and Han Sui from Xiliang responded to the imperial edict and sent troops to Bingzhou to restrain the senior officials.

After no worries, Cao Cao sent 200,000 troops to attack Yizhou after planting in the spring of the sixth year of Jian'an. In several battles, Yuan Shao fell ill and fell ill. In September of the same year, Cao Cao conquered the remnants of Yuan Shao's two sons, Yuan Tan, and Yuan Shang retreated repeatedly and could not defend. After more than a year of stalemate, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's army. Cao Cao marched into Yecheng. After Li could not capture the attack in August, Cao Cao returned to Xudu to fight against Liu Biao and sent Yuan Shao's two sons to fight. Yuan Tan lost and defected to Cao Cao. In October, Cao's army advanced north again and Yuan Shang's army was defeated. In February of the ninth year of Jian'an, Cao's army attacked Yecheng. In May, Cao Cao defeated Zhang River and flooded the city, and most of the people in the city starved to death. In July, Cao's army defeated Yuan Shang's reinforcements.

In August, Yecheng was defeated, Cao Cao killed Shen Pei, cried to sacrifice to Yuan Shao, and ordered Tian Feng to take care of Yuan Shao's family. With the help of Tian Feng and Ju Su, wealthy families in Yizhou, led by the Zhen family, disbanded their troops and gave up resistance. In September, Cao Cao was exempted from taxes from Hebei for one year. Emperor Xian of Han appointed Cao Cao as the governor of Jizhou. In December, Cao Cao marched into Nanpi to rectify the local situation.

In the first month of the tenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao's army defeated Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan died in battle, and Cao Cao pacified Jizhou. In April, the Black Mountain bandit Zhang Yan led more than 100,000 soldiers to surrender to Cao Cao and was named a marquis. In August, Cao Cao fought against Wuwan.

In the first month of the eleventh year of Jian'an, Cao Cao's army surrounded Huguan to fight against Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan, and with the help of Ma Teng, he quickly defeated the Gao Gan.

In May, Cao Cao attacked the left tribe of the Xiongnu when Xun Yu used gold and silver to redeem Cai Wenji, and severely damaged the cavalry of the Xiongnu king who came to rescue, and killed the left Xiongnu king's tribe and its affiliated tribe forty-one thousand men, women, young and young.

In the 12th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao followed Guo Jia's plan to conquer Wuhuan in the north. Cao's army was blocked by Bohaibin, so he led his army out of Lulong Pass and marched into Liucheng (now in August of the southwest brother Chaoyang, Liaoning. In the battle of Wuhuan, Cao Cao's army won a great victory, killing Wuhuan King Tadun, Hu and Han surrendered more than 200,000 troops. Three days later, he killed 300,000 people from the Wuhuan tribe and its affiliated tribes. Liu Yuan, the son of Zuoxian King Liu Bao, was strangled in his infancy as one of the leaders of the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China.

The two massacres killed nearly one million people, which shocked the world! The princes from all over the country even exaggerated the scope of these two massacres. In the ears of the people, even wherever Cao soldiers went, they would massacre innocent people.

In September, Gongsun Kang killed Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi, and Cao Cao unified the north. In the first month of the 13th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao stayed Xun Yu, Tian Feng, and Ju Su in Bingzhou to continue fighting against the Xiongnu kings. He returned to Yecheng and built Xuanwu Pool to train the navy. In July, Cao Cao fought south to Liu Biao. In August, Liu Biao died of illness, and his youngest son Liu Cong replaced him and lived in Xiangyang. In September, Cao Cao's army arrived in Xinye, Liu Cong surrendered, and Liu Bei fled to Xiakou.

Sima Yi, who was bound by me for several years, was standing respectfully aside. After years of contact, I found that Sima Yi not only had deep cunning and extraordinary military and political talents, but his ability to accept new things and learn from others also surprised me very much. He did not look like a conservative family at all, and some places were a bit like the cynical smell of poor families.

Putting down the telescope, I said to Sima Yi: "Help me send a message to all the generals below. Any enemy general who encounters a white horse and silver spear will avoid it, so as to mistakenly greedy for me."

Sima Yi left with the promise.

When Cao Cao heard my advice, he was very curious and asked, "Who is the enemy of the white horse and silver spear that Fengxiao said?"

I smiled and said, "Lord, please call Xu Shu and ask me."

"Xu Shu!" Cao Cao frowned slightly. History has changed a lot, but many have not changed. Although Xu Shu's mother, Mrs. Xu, did not commit suicide, Xu Shu still said nothing and did not offer any plans after he arrived at Cao's camp. Cao Cao loved his talent and was loyal, but he was also annoyed that he could not use it for himself. The reason why he had to keep him with him was that he wanted Xu Shu to see Liu Bei's demise with his own eyes.

"I've met the Prime Minister!" Xu Shu came to Cao Cao with neither humility nor arrogantness.

Cao Cao, who was already used to Xu Shu's appearance, didn't care, but asked directly: "Is there a general in Liu Bei's army who uses silver spears across white horses?"

Xu Shu thought about it and said after judging that this incident would not cause any harm to Liu Bei, "Yes! The surname is Zhao and the name is Zilong!"

Cao Cao looked at me, and I nodded immediately to show that Xu Shu was right. Cao Cao said, "The generals under Liu Bei's tent should be Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei's martial arts skills are the strongest. Why did Fengxiao only remind the generals to be careful of Zhao Yun?"

"Guan Yu, Zhang Fei's courage is incomparable to Zhao Yun." As he spoke, a white horse appeared in his sight. I shouted happily in my heart: "Here is here! The lord looks over there!"

Cao Cao looked in the direction of my finger and saw a warrior riding a white horse holding a silver spear rushing out of a village. Before everyone in the middle army could hear anyone I had politely praised, they all took the telescope and aimed at the warrior.

There was a team of Cao troops advancing near the village, but the two generals led by Gao Lan and Zhang He were Gao Lan. Seeing an enemy general coming out, Gao Lan urged the horse to meet him. Zhang He hurriedly said, "Just just now, the central army is dead. Let us be careful of a general with a white horse and silver spear. It seems that this is the person. We should be careful."

Gao Lan said, "Who have you and my brothers been afraid of? Let me capture this general alive and present him to the prime minister." After that, he met him.

The general riding a white horse didn't say much when he saw Cao's army blocking the way, so he stabbed the gun. Three gun flowers rose out of nowhere and went to the top, middle and lower sides of the general. Gao Lan was shocked, put away his contempt, waved the weapons in his hand and wanted to break the gun flowers. He thought that although the gun flowers were broken, the enemy general had his legs clipped off the horse, and the white horse suddenly accelerated like a heart of heart. Then the scattered gun flowers bloomed again, not three but seven this time.

Gao Lan, who was unprepared, was knocked down. Zhang He, who was following behind, never expected that Gao Lan would fall off the horse in one round and hurried forward to rescue and fight with Zhao Yun.

Gao Lan, who fell to the ground, was dizzy. Fortunately, the inner layer of the armor he was wearing was made of steel wire. Although the outer armor was pierced, it was not fatally damaged. He ran back to the formation with the help of several Cao soldiers. Zhang He was a few points better than Gao Lan. In addition, he was always cautious. Although he was at a disadvantage in the fight, he also fought with Zhao Yun for more than twenty rounds. Seeing Gao Lan safe and remembered the message just now, he wanted to escape when the two horses were intertwined.

But Zhao Yun didn't know Zhang He's plan! Zhao Yun, who was holding an ado, was also anxious to escape. At the time when the two horses were intertwined, Zhao Yun immediately turned around and used the gun as a stick. The gun rod hit Zhang He's back with a whistling sound. Zhang He knew it was not good when he heard the whistling sound. He gritted his teeth and hugged the horse's neck. Although the war horse was not smashed off, a mouthful of blood spurted out of Zhang He's mouth.

Zhang He and Gao Lan were defeated! Le Jin again, Li Dian blocked Zhao Yun, and they both retreated in less than ten rounds. Zhao Yun slapped his horse, but he didn't expect Le Jin, although Li Dian was defeated, he took the opportunity to defeat him, and several tripping ropes suddenly rose from the ground.

Zhao Yun saw it clearly. He tapped his horse's belly with his feet, and the white horse rose up and jumped over the tripping horse. Zhao Yun did not dare to fight and rushed towards the southeast. Wherever he went, Cao's soldiers were not killed or injured, and several Cao's generals were also killed and dropped from his horse.

Cao Cao's hand holding the telescope was sweating, and he asked, "Is this person Zhao Yun?"

Before Xu Shu and I answered, Cao Hong urged the horse to the high place and shouted: "The generals in the army can keep their names!"

The general replied, "I am Zhao Zilong, Changshan!"

At this time, someone came to report that many generals were injured by Zhao Yun, and even more generals who had been serving Yuan Shao in recent years were killed by Zhao Yun.

"A true tiger general! I should live for it." Cao Cao saw that his love for talent was aroused and ordered: "If Zhao Yun arrived, no cold arrows are allowed, just catch the alive."

I came closer and said, "Do you want to conquer this general?"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "I know my heart very much when I am filial!"

I said, "I want to capture Zhao Yunyi alive, but it will be difficult if I want to recover it! But..."

"Don't keep it in hiding!" Cao Cao said with a clear look on his chest: "I have a clever plan for Feng Xiaoding!"

I said, "If the lord really wants to regain this general and make him sincerely loyal, let Jia meet him for a while, but..."

"But what?"

I said, "Go back to the lord, it is not a good opportunity to accept Zhao Yun today, so Jia wants to sell him a huge favor and let him go! Then design a recovery! Is the lord allowed?"

Cao Cao said: "Since you are sure of filial piety, let it go!"

I said, "Okay! Jia is here!"

As soon as I rode on the horses pulled by my personal soldiers, I heard Cao Cao shouting: "Let's wait!"

What? Doesn’t Cao Cao want to retake Zhao Yun anymore?

Cao Cao said: "Zhao Yun is brave and cautious in his filial piety."

I said, "Thank you! Then Zhao Yun won't do anything to me."

He urged the horse to come to the foot of the mountain, greeted Zhao Yu and Wei Yan to protect me, and then went to the place where Zhao Yun fought.
