After being abandoned by Liu Bei, Cao Cao begged me to be a military adviser

Yuan Xi said loudly: "Brother, we have fallen into Cao's tricks!"

"Quick retreat!" Yuan Tan yelled, leading his troops to retreat first.

But how could he still withdraw?

Cao Jun of the Ten Routes divided and surrounded Yuan Jun.

The two generals Xu Chu and Zhang Liao who were guarding Cao Cao let go of their hands and feet, strangling Yuan Jun together with ten troops.

Yuan Jun was completely in chaos. Cao Jun was in front, Cao Jun was behind, and Cao Jun was on the side.

They couldn't count how many people Cao Jun had, only fear lingered in their hearts.

Chapter 64

Yuan Jun has three main forces, from Qingzhou, Youzhou and Jizhou.

Each unit fights independently and cannot cooperate with each other.

More importantly, these three troops traveled long distances and went into battle before they had time to rest.

These problems did not appear when chasing Cao Jun's fleeing troops.

When Cao Cao's ambush came out, the whole battle situation was reversed directly.

Yuan Jun's combat effectiveness was far inferior to Cao Jun's, and all the ministries fought on their own. After encountering an ambush, they were directly defeated and all the ministries fled in all directions.

On the contrary, Cao Jun, who was fleeing all the way, became red-eyed, and became more and more courageous as he fought.

The great melee continued from sunrise to sunset.

The corpses of both armies were scattered across the land.

The blood flowed into the Yellow River and became the Red River.

Yuan Tan and the trial assistant each fled with thousands of remnants.

And Yuan Shao's second son, Yuan Xi, died directly in the rebellion.

According to preliminary statistics after the war, more than [-] enemies were killed, and more than [-] soldiers were surrendered.

Most of the remaining Yuan Jun soldiers fled away.

This battle directly interrupted the lifeline of the Yuan family.

Within three to five years, the Yuan family did not dare to fight Cao Cao head-on.

Looking at the whole of Hebei, it is difficult to pull out an army of 10 people.

In the scuffle after battle, Cao Jun's losses were also extremely heavy.

It relies entirely on the recruitment of surrendered troops to maintain the strength of its own troops.

After the army was reorganized, Cao Cao led his troops back to Cangting Mountain.

At this time, Shenpei and Yuan Tan had just fled into Liyang City.

But Yuan Tan couldn't find Yuan Shang, let alone where his father Yuan Shao was!

After some inquiries, it was learned that Yuan Shang led his troops back to Yecheng on the grounds that his lord was seriously ill.

As the eldest brother, how could Yuan Tan not know Yuan Shang's flamboyant nature.

It was clear that they ran away early when they learned that the army was defeated.

At this point, Li Yangcheng must not be able to bear it anymore.

It's better to run back to Qingzhou by yourself.

Early the next morning, Yuan Tan fled back to Qingzhou with his defeated soldiers.

Seeing this, there was no need to defend Liyang City, so he directly led his troops back to Jizhou to assist Yuan Shang.

When Cao Cao led the army back to Cangting, it was already an empty city with no one guarding it.

Cao Cao led his troops in and took Liyang City without bloodshed.

And Liu Xian, who had been hiding on the mountain behind Cangting, also went down the mountain to the city the next morning.

Zhao Da found a secluded courtyard in the city for Liu Xian to live in last night.

After entering the city, Liu Xian settled down that night.

Lao Huang went to the street and bought two native chickens and brought them back to make beggar chickens.

Liu Xian hugged Xiao Huang, and lay on the rocking chair leisurely.

Cao Pi squatted next to Liu Xian and beat his legs, flattering him by the way.

"Master, is there something else I don't understand?"

"Say!" Liu Xian said lightly.

Cao Pi said: "Yesterday the army has already entered Liyang City, why did we enter the city early this morning?"

"Hahaha!" Liu Xian laughed: "If there are any remaining Yuan Jun in Liyang City, they will take advantage of last night to make trouble, and we will suffer accordingly. This night is enough for Mr. Cao to rectify the entire city! If there is no remaining Yuan Jun, we will It's just staying in the cave for one more night, it doesn't hurt!"

"Stable, too stable!" Cao Pi gave a thumbs up: "Master is gentle and old dog, admire, admire!"

When Liu Xian heard the words, he kicked Cao Pi fiercely: "How do you talk? What do you mean by being as stable as an old dog?"

"Hey hey!" Cao Pi grinned: "This is all nonsense that Lao Huang taught me, it's so abrupt!"

"I didn't say that!" Lao Huang, who roasted the chicken, hurriedly shook his head and shook the pot.

"Wow, woof, woof!" the little yellow dog in Liu Xian's arms barked.

Then I saw Lao Cao leading Lao Xu into the small courtyard.

The two were still dressed in coarse linen clothes.

"Ouch!" Lao Cao laughed, "You know I'm here, so you're preparing roast chicken for me again!"

"Hey!" Lao Huang said with a smile: "I'll call you Chicken Master from now on, you will definitely have chicken to eat when you come!"

"Hahaha!" Old Cao laughed loudly: "As you go, as you go!"

"Brother Chicken, please!" Liu Xian stood up and stretched out his hand to signal.

Lao Cao laughed and immediately sat down at the stone table in the courtyard.

Liu Xian took the jug and filled a glass for himself and Lao Cao.

Lao Cao picked up his wine glass and said, "Brother Ziyu, I came here this time and brought you two good news!"

"Oh?" Liu Xian asked in surprise, "Is there only two good news?"

Lao Cao's eyeballs rolled, and he immediately heard the meaning of Liu Xian's words. This is the rhythm of another extortion.

Old Cao said: "Old Xu, go and bring me the three boxes of jewelry from the carriage outside!"

"Okay!" Lao Xu yelled out of the yard, and moved in three big boxes one after another.

"Hey, brother Xu, don't be tired, I'll help you!" Lao Huang said nicely, and he had already opened the box to inspect the goods.

Old Xu was displeased: "Old Huang, isn't it a little too much for you to call me Brother Xu at your age?"

Lao Huang immediately changed his words: "Eldest nephew, don't be angry!"

Old Xu: "???"

"Hahaha!" Lao Cao and Liu Xian laughed loudly.

Lao Cao asked Liu Xian, "Sir, are you satisfied now?"

Liu Xian glanced at the treasure in the box, and immediately smiled: "Satisfied, very satisfied, Mr. Ji is very particular about people!"

Lao Cao nodded with a smile: "Two pieces of good news, one is that Mr. Cao adopted the strategy of ambush from ten sides, and our army won a complete victory!"

"En!" Liu Xian nodded lightly, not caring.

Lao Cao said again: "The second good news is that Yuan Xi is dead!"

"Dead?" Liu Xian was a little shocked: "How did you die?"

Old Cao said: "Die in the chaos!"

"Good death, the Yuan family lost a disaster!" Liu Xian nodded but shook his head again: "What a pity, what a pity!"

Lao Cao smiled: "Sir, you mean Miss Zhen Mi, Yuan Xi's fiancée who just passed through the door?"

"Ahem!" Liu Xian said awkwardly, hiding his embarrassment.

Lao Cao laughed, needless to say, everyone understands.

If Yuan Xi survived, there might still be an obstacle between Liu Xian and Zhen Mi.

But Yuan Xi was dead, and the relationship between the two became very delicate.

After a while, the beggar chicken was roasted.

Several people went to the table one after another.

Pour some wine and eat native chicken, it's fun.

Old Cao took the opportunity to say: "Yuan Shang and the judge have already withdrawn to Yecheng, and Yuan Tan has also returned to Qingzhou. What do you think, Mr. Cao's next strategy?"

Liu Xian smiled: "When I entered the city, I heard Zhao Da mention this battle, Yuan Jun was almost wiped out!"

"That's right!" Lao Cao nodded, "As Mr. said, the Yuan family has no power to fight Duke Cao again!"

"Yeah!" Liu Xian nodded, looking at Cao Pi: "Xiao Cao, you have been with me for so long, tell me your opinion!"

"Can you?" Cao Pi was a little excited, and looked at his father, Lao Cao.

"Speak!" Lao Cao nodded.

"Okay!" Cao Pi nodded, and said excitedly: "Yecheng is approaching, we must first break into Yecheng to expand the results of the battle, and then attack Qingzhou to the south, then persuade Bingzhou to surrender, and finally form a double-teaming trend for Jizhou and Youzhou !"

"Yeah!" Lao Cao nodded, with a three-point smile on his face.

I have to admit that my son has made a lot of progress.

These remarks are also considered strategic.

But Liu Xian said: "Xiao Cao said it very well! Don't say it next time!"

Cao Pi: "..."

Lao Cao smiled: "What's your opinion, sir?"

Chapter 65

Liu Xian stretched out four fingers: "Just four words!"

"Which four words?" Both Lao Cao and Xiao Cao looked at Liu Xian expectantly.

Liu Xian said: "Far away, close attack!"

Cao Pi's eyes lit up: "I know this. Back then, Qin State used the strategy of far-reaching and close-attack to unify the six countries!"

Lao Cao nodded: "Please show me, sir!"

Liu Xian smiled: "Long distance and close attack are designated based on the closeness of the three characters and one nephew. The overall strategy is divided into three steps!"

Lao Cao was shocked: "Oh? How close are the three characters and one nephew?"

"That's right!" Liu Xian nodded, "Although Yuan Tan is the eldest son, he is a concubine. He was adopted by Yuan Shao's dead brother Yuan Ji as his son. Yuan Shao did not give the land of Qingzhou to him, but Yuan Tan built it with his own ability. If he comes down, he won't be seen by Yuan Shao!"

"Yes!" Lao Cao nodded, "Yuan Tan expelled Tian Kai and Kong Rong, and assumed the post of governor of Qingzhou himself!"

Liu Xian continued: "After Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan, he ordered his son Yuan Xi to take over the post of governor of Youzhou. Yuan Xi was the most obedient. He went to Youzhou to take up the post before he married his fiancée!"

"In that case, Miss Zhen Mi is not a widow!" Lao Huang interrupted suddenly.

"Shut up, that's not the point!" Liu Xian rolled his eyes at Lao Huang, and continued: "Yuan Xi is dead, needless to say, now that Yuan Shao is in Yuan Tan's hands, he will inherit the position of lord!"

"Yeah!" Lao Cao nodded, "Yuan Shang has Yuan Shao's trust the most, and he will definitely be appointed to take over!"

Liu Xian continued: "The relationship between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang is like that of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. When Yuan Tan learns that Yuan Shang succeeds to the throne, he must have hatred in his heart, and they cannot tolerate each other!"

Old Cao said: "Qingzhou is far away from Xudu, so to win over Yuan Tan is what you call a distant relationship!"

"That's right!" Liu Xian nodded: "A close attack on Yuan Shang in Jizhou, this is a long-distance close attack!"
