Seeing that Pan Feng and Niu Gao didn't have any objection to his arrangement, Cao Cao smiled slightly, but even if Pan Feng and Niu Gao wanted to oppose him, he wouldn't allow them to oppose him. What's the prestige of not allowing him?

At this time, Cao Cao looked at the yellow turban soldiers who had become captives on the field, and suddenly he had a thought, and said to Niu Gao: "There are still [-] yellow turbans besieging the city on the other side of Puyang City. It's a disaster of swordsmen. I don't know if Sima, the cattle army, is willing to go to persuade him to surrender."

Niu Gao knew that he had no choice, so he could only stand up and say: "The general is willing to go."

"Okay!" Seeing Niu Gao's statement, Cao Cao laughed several times.Although even without Niu Gao, he could easily defeat the more than 1 yellow scarves with his soldiers and horses, but if Niu Gao could persuade the [-] yellow scarves to surrender, then he could avoid these losses.This is also a good choice for yourself.

Moreover, these Yellow Turbans were also a good source of troops. The more than 4 Yellow Turbans led by Niu Gao and Bai Rao this time were all veterans who had been on the battlefield and seen blood.It only needs a little training to hone into an elite existence.If he can incorporate all these yellow turbans, then his strength will definitely be greatly enhanced.

After that, the [-] Yellow Turban Army who surrounded Puyang City surrendered to Cao Cao under the persuasion of Niu Gao, the former leader, and the pressure of Cao Cao's soldiers.

Since then, the Black Mountain Yellow Turban's plan to attack Dongjun has completely failed.In the Battle of Puyang, Cao Cao defeated 5000 Yellow Turbans led by Niu Gao Bairao with an army of 1, beheaded [-] people and captured [-] people. The [-] yellow scarves surrounding Puyang City surrendered to Cao Cao under the oppression of Cao Cao's troops.

In Puyang City, Cao Cao looked at Wang Gong who had just left not far away and showed a satisfied smile, while Xi Zhicai said: "Congratulations, my lord, it seems that this time the matter must be sure."

Cao Cao said: "Wang Gong is the prefect of Dongjun, but he has been harassed by the Heishan Yellow Turban many times. This time he was led by the Heishan Yellow Turban to attack Puyang. He has seriously neglected his duties. Even if I don't do anything, there will be others Someone did something to him, and the conditions I gave are already a very good choice for him now."

Xi Zhicai said: "If the lord hadn't led the troops to arrive this time, Puyang City would definitely be captured by the Heishan Yellow Turbans. At that time, Wang Gong, the prefect of Dongjun, would definitely not end well if he fell into the hands of the Heishan Yellow Turbans. So the lord treats him It can be said that it has the grace of saving lives, and this time the Heishan Yellow Turban attacked Dongjun and hit Puyang all the way. It can be said that after this time, no matter whether the Heishan Yellow Turban breaks through Puyang or not, Wang Ji's Dongjun prefect will not be able to do it. Instead of waiting for the imperial court to dismiss him, it is better for him to submit to the imperial court to resign and form a good relationship with the lord, which is the best choice for Wang Gong. After being the prefect of Dongjun for so many years, this Wang Gong still has this awareness."

Cao Cao nodded slightly: "It's also fortunate that Wang Gong is more knowledgeable about current affairs, and it saved me a lot of effort."

"But my lord." Xi Zhicai said again: "If my lord wants to be safe in what I seek, then my lord needs another person."

Cao Cao fell into deep thought when he heard the words: "If that's the case, I'm afraid it's Pan Feng's side."

Before Cao Cao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xi Zhicai: "My lord, Captain Pan is a man who is sensible and understands the overall situation. I believe Captain Pan will understand the painstaking efforts of the lord."

"In that case, then Zhicai, please write a letter to Yuan Shao in Jizhou for me. As for Pan Feng, Zhicai, you should go and have a look. I'm afraid that Pan Feng has a bad heart."

"Zhi just understands."

Not long after Cao Cao defeated the Yellow Turban of Heishan in Puyang, Wang Gong, the former prefect of Dongjun, declared to the court that due to his own fault, Dongjun was ravaged by the Yellow Turban of Heishan. Feeling deeply remorseful, Wang Gong asked the court to retire, and at the same time recommended this This time he served as the prefect of Dongjun when he led his troops to break the Yellow Turban of Heishan in Puyang.

And just a few days after Wang Gong's letter arrived at the court of the Great Han Dynasty in Chang'an, Yuan Shao, the current Jizhou shepherd, wrote a letter saying that Cao Cao had made great contributions in breaking the Yellow Turban of Heishan in Puyang, so he recommended Cao Cao as the prefect of Dongjun.

Faced with such a situation, the Chang'an court would naturally not obstruct it. More precisely, the Chang'an court had no time to care about these matters.In Chang'an, the battle between Dong Zhuo and the veterans of the Han Dynasty became more and more fierce. Dong Zhuo insisted that he had a large army, and he did not pay attention to Liu Xie and the veterans of the Han Dynasty.He often sleeps on the dragon bed at night and rapes his concubines.The veterans of the Han Dynasty were even more dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's atrocities, because Dong Zhuo had a large army at the time and did not dare to attack.

Against this background, the imperial court quickly agreed to the appointment of Cao Cao.

In the winter of the second year of Chuping, Cao Cao was named the prefect of Dongjun because of his meritorious service in breaking the Yellow Turban in Puyang.

After Cao Cao became the prefect of Dongjun, a man came from Jizhou to defect to Cao Cao. He called himself Xun Yu, and he and Xi Zhicai were good friends.After Cao Cao had a long talk with Xun Yu all night, he called Xun Yu "the talent of Wang Zuo".He worshiped Xun Yu as his military advisor on the spot, and he valued Xun Yu very much.

Chapter 1: The Death of Gongsun Yue

And just when Cao Cao broke the Yellow Turban in Puyang, a big battle broke out in Yuzhou.

Yuzhou was originally occupied by Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu also knew that although he had [-] soldiers, he was a newly acquired Yuzhou and his foundation was not stable. Therefore, Yuan Shu assigned his generals to various places to garrison troops in order to strengthen his rule over Yuzhou.However, after Yuan Shao won Jizhou, his greed became more and more intense. At this time, Yuan Shao set his sights on Yuzhou occupied by Yuan Shu.

After Yuan Shao completely brought Jizhou under control, he sent his subordinate Zhou Ang to lead [-] troops to attack Yangcheng, Yuzhou, which Yuan Shu occupied.After a big battle, Yangcheng was finally captured by Zhou Ang, and the generals Yuan Shu sent to station troops in Yangcheng were also beheaded by Zhou Ang.

After Yuan Shu learned that Zhou Ang sent troops to capture Yangcheng, he was furious and sent his general Chen Lan to lead [-] troops to attack Yangcheng, hoping to take Yangcheng back from Zhou Ang.And Yuan Shu, just in case, sent Gongsun Yue, who was sent by Gongsun Zan to serve under his command, to lead a thousand cavalry to Yangcheng with Chen Lan.

When Zhou Ang learned that Chen Lan and Gongsun Yue had led [-] troops to attack Yangcheng, he insisted that he had [-] troops in Yangcheng, and he didn't pay attention to Chen Lan and Gongsun Yue.However, Zhou Ang's character is a cautious person. Although he looks down on Chen Lan and Gongsun Yue, who led the army, he still arranges Yangcheng as solid as gold.

When Chen Lan and Gongsun Yue led their troops to the base of Yangcheng, what they saw was a closed gate of Yangcheng.And on the top of Yangcheng City, there are countless soldiers standing on it.

Facing such a fortified city, Chen Lan and Gongsun Yue couldn't do anything right now.In addition, the army marched quickly to the city of Puyang, and all the soldiers and horses were exhausted.Therefore, after discussing with Gongsun Yue, Chen Lan and Gongsun Yue decided to take a rest outside Yangcheng for one night, and wait until the next day to make a fuss.

When the second day came, Chen Lan and Gongsun Yue didn't discuss any good solution, so they had no choice but to order their soldiers to forcibly attack Yangcheng.

On the top of Yangcheng City, Zhou Ang looked at Yuan Shu's soldiers who had begun to attack the city, and couldn't help but sneered a few times: "Only 1 horses are like breaking through my defending Yangcheng. This Chen Lan is too arrogant. It seems that this Yuan Shu The subordinates are full of wine bags and rice bags."

No.1 Yuan Shujun's siege ended in failure under Zhou Ang's desperate defense, and on this day, Yuan Shujun at least left hundreds of corpses under Yangcheng, and Zhou Ang's subordinates in Yangcheng Only a hundred or so were killed.Although this No. 1 was just a tentative attack, such casualties still made Chen Lan and Gongsun Yue look very ugly.

In the next three days, Yuan Shujun attacked Yangcheng under the command of Chen Lan and Gongsun Yue. During these three days, Yuan Shujun paid the price of more than 1000 Yuan Shujun soldiers killed in battle.However, Zhou Ang's casualties in Yangcheng were far less than that of Yuan Shujun who attacked the city, with only 200 killed.

Both Chen Lan and Gongsun Yue felt uncomfortable in the face of such casualties, so Chen Lan and Gongsun Yue adopted the strategy of besieging the city afterwards.With an army of nearly [-], Yangcheng was completely surrounded.But ten days later, when Yuan Shu learned that Chen Lan and Gongsun Yue had not been able to take Yangcheng, he was furious and ordered Chen Lan to take Yangcheng within ten days, otherwise Chen Lan's family would be imprisoned and punished.

Under Yuan Shu's high pressure, Chen Lan had no choice but to lead an army of [-] to storm Yangcheng regardless of the cost, hoping to capture Yangcheng as soon as possible within the ten-day deadline given by Yuan Shu.

On this day, the fierce battle in Yangcheng has reached the point where it has deteriorated in vain.

As Gongsun Zan's younger brother, Gongsun Yue can only be regarded as a third-rate figure, but he is also an upper-middle level existence among third-rate figures.And Gongsun Yue followed Gongsun Zan to fight in northern Xinjiang for many years, and his martial arts were also good.Otherwise, Gongsun Zan would not have promoted Gongsun Yue to the post of army commander, in charge of a thousand cavalry.

I saw Gongsun Yue holding a long spear in his hand, and charged forward at the forefront.And Chen Lan is in charge of the overall planning center in the central army, commanding the army to attack the city.

During the siege of the city in the past few days, although Gongsun Yue's subordinates were all cavalry, dozens of people were killed. This result made Gongsun Yue very angry. You must know that cavalry is a treasure in this era. A little cavalry under his hand will give it up like a baby.

It was precisely for this reason that after Gongsun Yue came to Yuan Shu's command, Yuan Shu also valued Gongsun Yue very much, and it can be said that he entrusted Gongsun Yue with a heavy responsibility.The attack on Yangcheng this time was also because Gongsun Yue felt that Yuan Shu's subordinates had received preferential treatment from Yuan Shu, but he felt a little sorry for not making any achievements. Therefore, Gongsun Yue asked Yuan Shu to attack Yangcheng with Chen Lan, and was going to help Yuan Shu take back Yangcheng. city.

How could he think that after coming to Yangcheng, not only did he fail to take down Yangcheng, but he also lost dozens of soldiers. This result made Gongsun Yue very angry, so although Gongsun Yue is leading the cavalry today, he is still the leader of the soldiers. The soldiers attacked Yangcheng.

The effect of Gongsun Yue personally leading the troops to attack is also very significant. Today, Yuan Shujun has attacked the city of Yangcheng several times. Although Zhou Ang led the troops to defeat them in the end, compared to before, he has been unable to attack Yangcheng. I don't know how much better the record is.

Zhou Ang looked at Gongsun Yue who was leading the army to attack Yangcheng with his eyes as if they were about to spew out flames. If his eyes could kill, then that Gongsun Yue would have been killed by Zhou Ang many times.

If it weren't for Gongsun Yue who attacked Yangcheng first, the situation in Yangcheng would never have been so difficult. If he hadn't reacted in time today, Gongsun Yue had already led his troops to break Yangcheng.

Seeing that Gongsun Yue led his troops to kill him again, Zhou Ang suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to the left and right: "Everyone pay attention to find a good cover, then Yuan Shujun will definitely shoot another wave of arrows."

As soon as Zhou Ang finished speaking, a wave of arrows rained down from Yuan Shujun's formation under the city wall of Yangcheng, shooting towards the head of Yangcheng city as if to cover the sky.

As for the wave of arrows rained by Eye Sword, the soldiers on the city wall immediately took cover to avoid the rain of arrows. After so many days of experience in defending the city, this wave of arrows is just an appetizer, and the real feast is yet to come. behind.

Seeing that Zhou Ang hadn't found a good cover yet, several subordinates beside Zhou Ang immediately pulled Zhou Ang over and picked up a shield from where to block the rain of arrows for Zhou Ang.

Under the cover of this wave of arrow rain, Yuan Shujun set up a ladder next to Yangcheng, and countless soldiers of Yuan Shujun began to climb from the ladder to the top of Yangcheng.

After avoiding the rain of arrows, the defenders of Yangcheng immediately poked their heads out, bowed their bows and set up arrows and shot at Yuan Shu's soldiers who were climbing towards the top of Yangcheng on the ladder.There are also some Yangcheng defenders holding rolling wood and thunder stones and throwing at Yuan Shu's soldiers on the ladder.

Gongsun Yue evaded several boulders one after another, and climbed up to the top of Yangcheng City with a ladder. While climbing the top of Yangcheng City, Gongsun Yue swept his spear and swept down several Yangcheng defenders around the top of the city. .At the same time, the spears were shielded from the left and right to cover the soldiers of Yuan Shu who were behind him and climbed to the top of the city.

When Zhou Ang saw Gongsun Yue climbed to the top of the city, he couldn't help being furious, and ordered dozens of soldiers to kill Gongsun Yue.At this time, behind Gongsun Yue, several soldiers of Yuan Shu's army climbed to the top of the city, and together with Gongsun Yue, they dealt with the offensive of the Yangcheng defenders.

After a brutal fight, Zhou Ang took Gongsun Yue down after paying the price of dozens of casualties, and Gongsun Yue rolled onto several ladders one after another after being knocked down. Not a minor injury, but fortunately not life-threatening.

Zhou Ang breathed a sigh of relief after repelling Gongsun Yue's attack. According to the past practice, Yuan Shujun's attack at this time should be the last wave. After this wave of offensive, Yuan Shujun will retreat.

Looking at Yuan Shu's soldiers under the city wall, Zhou Ang waved his hand, and countless arrows formed a rain of arrows and shot at Yuan Shu's soldiers under the city.

At this time, Gongsun Yue was preparing to retreat, just as Zhou Ang expected, this wave of offensive was already the last wave of Yuan Shujun's offensive.

At this time, a guard beside Gongsun Yue suddenly shouted to Gongsun Yue: "Be careful, Sima!"

Gongsun Yue was taken aback when he heard the words, he held the gun and looked back, but saw an arrow coming straight towards him, and he could already see the cold light shining on the tip of that arrow.

However, this was also the last scene that Gongsun Yue saw.
