Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 278

Two hundred miles was only a day or two for the cavalry. When Wuhuan sent the news of Cao Jun's arrival to Liucheng, Cao Cao was already less than a hundred miles away from Liucheng.

Shanyu Louban was frightened when he heard this, so he asked his elder brother for advice.Ta Dun thought that Cao Cao had come from a long way, and as long as he persisted in a stalemate, Cao Cao would definitely retreat, and he could still chase and kill him, so he would definitely defeat Cao Cao.So Ta Dun asked himself to lead troops to intercept Cao Cao, and Lou Ban agreed.

Ta Dun led the army to meet Cao Cao, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi also led troops to follow, a total of tens of thousands of cavalry.

After the two armies met, Cao Cao climbed up and looked over, and found that although Wuhuan had many troops, their formation was not complete.He handed over his command flag to Zhang Liao, made Zhang Liao the vanguard, and led all the cavalry to attack Wuhuan fiercely when Wuhuan was about to attack and the formation was scattered.Zhang Liao's onslaught caused chaos in Wuhuan, and Zhang Liao led his troops to rush to Tadun and behead him.

It was supposed to be a protracted battle, but after Ta Dun's death, Wuhuan immediately fell into chaos, many people surrendered, and Hu Han had 20 people.This is an unprecedented big victory, not to mention winning more with less, it is still positive, and it took a very short time.

Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi escaped from the rebellious army and fled back to Liucheng.

Cao Cao then attacked Liucheng, all in one fell swoop.The Yuan brothers, Lou Ban and others fled to Liaodong, and Cao Cao won a complete victory.

At this time, someone suggested that they could take the opportunity to directly attack Gongsun Kang in Liaodong, and the excuses were ready-made.But Cao Cao did not unify, but sent envoys to see Gongsun Kang.

When the envoy arrived in Liaodong, he met Gongsun Kang and asked Gongsun Kang to present the heads of the Yuan brothers.Gongsun Kang did not dare to disobey, so he found an excuse to invite the Yuan brothers.

At this time, the Yuan brothers also wanted to kill Gongsun Kang and occupy Liaodong, so that they could make a comeback.In the end, Gongsun Kang was superior. He set up an ambush in the stable and arrested the Yuan brothers.Gongsun Kang killed Er Yuan, and killed Lou Ban and Su Puyan who came with Er Yuan.

The envoy returned to Liucheng with the heads of the Yuan brothers, Lou Ban and Su Puyan, and some people were surprised.Cao Cao explained: "Gongsun Kang is afraid of Yuan Shang. If I go to attack, Gongsun Kang and Yuan Shang will definitely unite. If I don't go to attack, the two will definitely fight. This is forced by the situation."

This passage has a nice name in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is called Guo Jia's plan to pacify Liaodong, which describes Guo Jia so miraculously that many people even think that Guo Jia is immortal and Zhuge Liang is afraid of Guo Jia.

This is completely nonsense, let's not talk about whether Zhuge Liang will be afraid of Guo Jia, but just talk about the matter itself, when Gongsun Kang killed Eryuan, Guo Jia was not dead yet!He's just feeling unwell right now.Historically, Guo Jia was retreating from Liucheng, and it can be said that it should be after Cao Cao created Guancanghai.If Guo Jia died before then, how could Cao Cao still have the mood to create a view of the sea?He must be very sad if he also sings about his ambition.

Withdrawing troops from Liucheng, Cao Cao could not return by the same route, and many people would starve to death.So he attacked Leyang to the east, and then to the east to capture Changli County, the seat of the Liaodong vassal state.When he was waiting for the envoy, he was also waiting in Changli County. After getting Er Yuan's head, Cao Cao was ready to withdraw his troops.

In the north of Changli County, there is a mountain called Jieshi Mountain.Cao Cao suddenly became aroused, so he took people up Jieshi Mountain, looked south, saw the sea in the distance, suddenly felt it, and recited the famous poem "Guan Canghai", "Looking at Jieshi in the east, you can see the sea. The water is so smooth, and the mountains and islands stand tall. The trees are dense, and the grass is luxuriant. The autumn wind is bleak, and the torrents are surging. The sun and the moon travel, as if they come out of it.

After hearing this, the entourage immediately praised Cao Cao.The business of cultural people is to carry people in bridal sedan chairs, and in the end everyone has fun.Cao Cao was also in high spirits, smiling all over his face for several days.He is a self-proclaimed literati, and he has written a praiseworthy poem, which will make him proud of himself.

Cao Cao is a person who is easily arrogant, and sometimes he shows his true temperament.There are very few people who can do what Cao Cao does. Celebrities must follow etiquette and often hide their true nature.There are not many people who can achieve such a true temperament as Cao Cao. During the Three Kingdoms period, only Sun Ce could do it, and now only Zhang Yi is left.

Having been in Changli for almost a month, Cao Cao needed to return to Xuchang quickly. He was afraid that Zhang Yi would make another mistake.

Cao Cao walked south from Changli to Bintu River and Tuhe River, then walked to the sea and returned to Shanhaiguan.

While walking the distance of more than 200 miles, it was raining and the road was muddy and difficult to walk.Coupled with the uncertain weather, Guo Jia, who was already unwell, fell ill.

When Cao Cao heard that Guo Jia was ill, he was also very anxious. Now there is not enough medicine for treatment in this place with nowhere to go.Cao Cao asked the doctor to do his best to treat Guo Jia, and he must save Guo Jia's life.But the medical craftsmen are also helpless about this. They are very good at knife and gun wounds, but not good at other diseases.

After several days of treatment, Guo Jia passed away.

Heaven is jealous of talents, it is not an exaggeration to describe Guo Jia's early death.Speaking of which, Cao Cao's life was also quite bitter. He used to have a counselor named Xi Zhicai, but Xi Zhicai died every two years.So Xun Yu recommended Guo Jia to Cao Cao to replace Xi Zhicai. Guo Jia and Cao Cao had similar temperaments. Cao Cao was going to entrust Guo Jia with his funeral, but he didn't expect Guo Jia to die first.

Cao Cao was very sad, the greatest joy in life is to have a confidant, Cao Cao thinks his confidant is Guo Jia.As soon as Guo Jia died, Cao Cao felt that no one could know his thoughts, just like Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi. After Zhong Ziqi died, Yu Boya never played the piano again.

Half a month later, Cao Cao finally arrived in Linyu, then went to Feiru and Lingzhi, returned to Xuwu County, Youbeiping County, and then went to Wuzhong and Lu County to return to Jixian County.

Cao Cao returned to Yecheng with his army, and Youzhou was about to fall, and he was going to focus on dealing with Zhang Yi.To deal with Zhang Yi, there is no water army, so he opened the Xuanwu Pool near Yecheng to train the water army.

At the same time, Cao Cao continued his expedition to Wuhuan, abolished the Sangong, restored the prime minister system, and became prime minister himself.

However, not long after Cao Cao became prime minister, he received news that Cai Zhaoji, the woman of his friend Cai Yong, was in the Southern Huns.Cai Yong can be said to be half of Cao Cao's teacher. He once learned a lot from Cai Yong. Of course, Cao Cao, the descendant of his friend, could not let her live outside, so Cao Cao sent someone to the Southern Huns to redeem Cai Zhaoji.
