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

Yuan Tan and Gao Gan fled wildly, and when they were about to return to the camp, they found that the camp was on fire and had already been broken by Cao Jun.

Xiahou Dun and Xu Huang each led their headquarters to fight head-on.

Guo Tu was so frightened that his legs went limp and he fell off the horse, and was forcibly supported by Yuan Tan.

"If you don't move, you will die here!" Yuan Tan yelled at Guo Tu.

Guo Tu shook his head: "General, I made a mistake. I should have listened to Xin Ping's opinion if I knew this!"

"Get on the horse and retreat with me!" Yuan Tan roared angrily.

Guo Tu climbed onto the horse with red eyes, and continued to flee with Yuan Tan.

Xu Huang and Xiahou Dun chased after each other, killing Yuan Tan one after another.

The number of followers around Yuan Tan changed from a few thousand to a few hundred.

In the chaos, Gao Gan was knocked off his horse by an arrow.

At the critical moment, Yuan Tan couldn't control his cousin anymore, so he dragged Guo Tu to continue fleeing.

When passing by a small river, Guo Tu jumped into the river with Yuan Tan and escaped along the rapids.

Sure enough, the trick of jumping into the river blocked Cao Jun's pursuit.

The speed of the water flow, not to mention infantry, cavalry can't catch up.

The generals of various ministries entered Qinghe City one after another to report to Cao Cao face to face.

Gao Gan was also arrested, and knelt in the tent of the Chinese army.

"Prime Minister, spare your life, Prime Minister, spare your life!" Gao Gan repeatedly knelt and kowtowed.

"I've treated you well, but you even joined forces with Yuan Tan to rebel, how can I forgive you?" Cao Cao waved his hand: "Pull it out and behead it, and send the head to Pingyuan County!"

"Obey!" Xu Chu clasped his fists in both hands, pulled Gao Gan out of the camp, beheaded him with one blow, and sent someone to send him away.

Cao Cao rectified his troops overnight, and the next morning he personally led the army to Pingyuan County.

At this time, Yuan Tan had fled back to the camp with Guo Tu in a panic.

After seeing Xin Ping, Yuan Tan let out a long sigh: "Cao thief is treacherous and almost killed me. I wish I could have listened to Mr.'s words!"

"Hey!" Xin Ping sighed: "The matter has come to an end, the general quickly led the troops across the river and returned to Qingzhou, so as not to be pursued by Cao Cao!"

As soon as the words were finished, the head of the senior cadre was delivered.

Yuan Tan wept bitterly, and immediately ordered all troops to prepare for retreat and return to Qingzhou early tomorrow morning.

A few days later, Yuan Tan rushed to the Yellow River Ferry with the remaining 2 soldiers and horses.

Before the army reached the ferry, the scouts came to report suddenly.

Cao Ren and Yu Jin each led [-] soldiers and horses to station near the ferry.

"Oops!" Xin commented, "Jun Cao has already prepared!"

Guo Tu shook his head: "Cao Cao doesn't want us to leave Pingyuan County!"

"Tie Cao, you are so treacherous!" Yuan Tan gritted his teeth angrily.

Guo Tu asked Xin Ping: "Sir, what should I do now?"

Xin Ping shook his head: "Only by fighting Cao Ren in blood and banning the two generals can we have a way out. If we hesitate to pursue Cao Cao to this point, our army will definitely die!"

After the words fell, the scout came to report again: "General, the Cao army in Qinghe City has arrived thirty miles behind our army!"

"Boom!" Yuan Tan suddenly felt his head buzzing.

The way back to Qingzhou was blocked, and Cao Cao went to the rear again.

There is absolutely no way out.

Guo Tu immediately said: "General, let's surrender!"

"Surrender?" Xin Ping immediately reprimanded Guo Tu: "Do you think Cao Cao will let us go if we surrender? How did Gao Gan die?"

Guo Tu was speechless immediately.

Xin commented: "Flee, we flee along the Yellow River, as long as we don't die, we will have a chance!"

Yuan Tan stopped talking nonsense, and immediately got on his horse and fled eastward along the Yellow River.

But Xu Huang and Cao Ren couldn't hide this.

The two generals immediately dispatched troops to intercept and kill Yuan Tan by detour.

A few hours later, the two Cao armies merged into one, and 10,000+ troops chased Yuan Jun together.

Yuan Jun kept falling behind, and countless Yuan Jun soldiers died under Cao Jun's sword.

At sunset, the edge of the Yellow River.

Yuan Tan looked behind him, the scene was very similar to a few days ago.

The team of more than 2 people now has less than 3000 people.

Chapter 92 Cao Cao pacified Qingzhou and Bingzhou, and son-in-law Liu Xian visited the Zhen family

As the sun was setting, Cao Jun's soldiers and generals surrounded Yuan Tan and his men.

Cao Cao rode out alone, pointing his whip at Yuan Tan.

"Yuan Tan, I've treated you well. I asked the imperial court to make you a great general. It's fine if you don't appreciate it, but you actually plotted against me?"

"Bah!" Yuan Tan spat fiercely on the ground: "Cao thief, you are so shameless! Do you really think that I don't know what you want to do? You ordered the high-ranking officials to welcome me to force me to attack you. You sinister villain!"

"Soldiers never tire of cheating!" Cao Cao immediately looked up to the sky and laughed, and then waved to Cao Ren.

"Kill!" Cao Ren shouted countless times, and countless Cao troops attacked Yuan Bing.

The bloody battle between the two armies lasted for several hours.

Yuan Jun who jumped into the Yellow River was also salvaged by Cao Jun by boat, rescued ashore, and then beheaded.

Yuan Tan and his subordinates all died in the chaos.

Xin Ping jumped into the Yellow River and died.

Only Guo Tu surrendered on the spot.

He was tied up in front of Cao Cao.

"Prime Minister, spare your life, Prime Minister, spare your life!" Guo Tu repeatedly begged for mercy, his face was full of fear.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Gongze, tell me why I spared you?"

Guo Tu said: "I am a fool. Because of my plan, Yuan Shao was defeated in the Battle of Guandu, and because of my plan, Yuan Tan died by the Yellow River!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao and all the generals around him burst into laughter.

Guo Tu said again: "I also indirectly helped the prime minister to pacify Hebei, can you save me from death?"

Cao Cao turned his head and asked Cao Ren, "Are you saying you want to save him from death?"

Cao Ren laughed: "Prime Minister, Yuan Shao and Yuan Tanruo are still alive, treat Guo Tu kindly. Once these two die, Guo Tu will be useless!"

Cao Hong also said: "What's the use of keeping such a fool? Are you going to let him harm the prime minister?"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao immediately waved his hand, "Xu Chuzhan!"

"Yes!" Xu Chu clasped his hands together.

"Prime Minister..."

Before Guo Tu finished speaking, Xu Chu's sword had already chopped off his head.

After Yuan Tan died, Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren and Cao Hong to lead troops across the Yellow River and capture Qingzhou.

Xiahou Dun and Xu Huang led the troops to recover the counties of Jizhou.

Cao Cao led the main force back to Handan City.

After the army entered the city to rest, good news came.

All the ministries of Bingzhou returned in hope.

Officials and guards appointed by the imperial court successively went to Bingzhou to take office.

Zhang Liao and Xia Houyuan really led their troops back to Handan City to join the army.

Cao Cao immediately rewarded the three armies with a celebration banquet.

After the army stabilized, Cao Cao went to visit Liu Xian with ten boxes of gold, silver and jewels.

Lao Huang was feeding the chickens in the yard, and Liu Xian was petting the dog on the rocking chair.

When they saw Old Xu moving boxes one after another into the courtyard, the eyes of the two of them were straightened, and their movements were stiff and they breathed out in unison.

Old Huang: "Master Ji, this, this, this..."

"Master Ji, what is this?" Liu Xian widened his eyes.

Lao Cao didn't say anything, and after ten big boxes filled the courtyard, he opened all the lids.

It was full of copper coins, gold cakes, and jewelry.

Old Huang: "Damn it, Master Chicken is bleeding profusely!"

"Bleeding doesn't stop!" Liu Xian shook his head and sighed.

Lao Huang then ran forward, grabbed a gold cake and took a bite.

"Hahaha!" Lao Cao laughed loudly: "How is it? Is Mr. Ziyu satisfied?"

Liu Xian smiled: "It seems that Mr. Cao has won the battle!"

"That's right!" Old Cao sat beside Liu Xian, and said excitedly, "Yuan Tan, the high officials are dead, Bingzhou has also surrendered, Cao Ren, Cao Hong is going to attack Qingzhou!"

"In this way, the four prefectures in Hebei and the three prefectures are all included in Mr. Cao's pocket. It really is great news!" Liu Xian also laughed.

"Hahaha!" Lao Cao smiled and said, "If Mr. Wu had planned a strategy, the battle of Hebei would not have been so smooth!"

"You're welcome, you're welcome!" Liu Xian hastily bowed his hands to Lao Cao with a humble look on his face.

Lao Huang prepares the wine, and the maid prepares side dishes.

After a while, several people sat around the table to celebrate, pushing and changing glasses.

Lao Cao told Liu Xian about the battle to kill Yuan Gao with eloquence.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Lao Cao said again: "Brother Ziyu, Mr. Cao is going to transfer the army to Changshan County after Qingzhou is pacified!"

"Changshan County is next to Youzhou, so we can attack Yuan Shang at any time, very good!" Liu Xian nodded with a smile.

Zhen Mi's natal family is in Wuji County, Changshan County, and she has been waiting to go to Changshan County for a long time.

Old Cao asked: "Autumn is coming soon. Although Mr. Cao has not made it clear, he is still considering when to attack Yuan Shang in Youzhou. I would like to ask you to share your opinion!"

"Hahaha!" Liu Xian laughed: "Mr. Cao is hesitant, because he doesn't want to send troops in the short term. Naturally, it will be postponed until next spring. There is no need to plan!"

After autumn, the weather turns cooler.

The battle will become more and more difficult. If it encounters heavy snow, it will be all in vain.

What's more, the army has been fighting for a whole year, and the men and horses are already exhausted.

Liu Xian's words can be regarded as speaking to Cao Cao's heart.

Old Cao Gong cupped his hands and signaled: "Okay, I will make a suggestion to Cao Gong when I look back, and attack Youzhou next spring to destroy Yuan Shang!"

Liu Xianyu said earnestly: "I believe that Mr. Cao must be very pleased to hear your words!"

Lao Cao looked embarrassed, I gave myself advice, am I relieved?

"Am I wrong?" Liu Xian looked at Lao Cao in surprise.

"That's right, that's right!" Lao Cao nodded again and again.

"That's it!" Liu Xian said: "Since the army is going to be stationed in Changshan County, I have also started to pack up my belongings these days and go back to my mother's house for the New Year!"

"Wuji Zhongshan Country, Zhen family!" Old Cao smiled and got up to say goodbye.

Half a month later, news came from Qingzhou that all counties had surrendered.
