Cao Cao's complexion suddenly sank, and his eyes were directly into Guo Jia's.

"Feng Xiao, what basis do you have for thinking that Yuan Benchu ​​will attack Qingzhou?"

"Although I don't dare to say that it is inevitable to be an official, I am sure of my success. As for the basis for being an official, it comes from the current development of the situation. In Youzhou, Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, was worried about Gongsun Zan's rebellion and wanted to kill him, but his ability was mediocre and he had no generals under his command. Instead, the [-] elite soldiers were defeated by Gongsun Zan's [-] soldiers. Afterwards, Gongsun Zan took advantage of the momentum to pursue and broke through Juyong City in three days, and captured Liu Yu and his wife and children alive and returned to Ji County. Later, Gongsun Zan framed Liu Yu and Yuan Shao for seeking to become emperor, and beheaded Liu Yu, his wife and children in Ji County City. After Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu, he obtained the entire Youzhou.

Yuan Benchu's Jizhou was located in the center of the north, surrounded by Bingzhou, Youzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou.Gongsun Zan and Yuan Benchu ​​are like fire and water. Although Wen Bufan and Yuan Benchu ​​have no conflicts now, Wen Bufan has been persecuted by him repeatedly in the past, and it is absolutely impossible to make friends with him.And the lord and Wen Bufan are best friends who are well known in the world.Yuan Benchu ​​was ambitious and had such a huge power, so he was naturally afraid that the Lord and Wen Bufan would join forces to attack him.So if Yuan Benchu ​​didn't take advantage of this time, Bingzhou hadn't fallen into Wen Bufan's hands, and the lord hadn't taken Yanzhou yet, if he pre-emptively took Qingzhou, it would be difficult for him to move forward in the future. "

At this time, due to the slow intelligence communication in ancient times, Cao Cao and others had not yet learned that Wen Han had acquired the state.The more Cao Cao listened, the darker his face became, he said slowly.

"So, Qingzhou, Yuan Benchu ​​is bound to win. I don't know how to serve filial piety, so what's the trick? Can you teach me to stop Yuan Benchu?"

Guo Jia shook his head slightly and said.

"My lord, it is not appropriate to turn against Yuan Benchu ​​at this time. After all, Yuan Benchu ​​has a lot of talents and 20 soldiers. At this time, Yanzhou is still undecided, and if my lord wants to take Qingzhou by force, it will undoubtedly drive Yuan Benchu ​​to a dead end. Yuan Benchu ​​is bound to fight back. After the battle, both sides will suffer. In this way, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou will only be taken advantage of in vain."

"In this way, I can write a letter and send a letter to Wen Bufan. I will form an alliance with his two armies and fight Yuan Benchu ​​together."

"No. At this time, Bingzhou has not yet been decided. Even if Wen Bufan won Bingzhou, the soldiers and horses will be exhausted after repeated battles, and Bingzhou has been ravaged by wars for years. It is time to rejuvenate everything. Wen Bufan has no spare time and energy. The lord's alliance will fight Yuan Benchu ​​together. Moreover, even if Wen Bufan really does it by force and joins the lord's alliance, Yuan Benchu ​​will try his best to form an alliance with Gongsun Zan. Today's military strength is undoubtedly hitting a stone with an egg. And don't forget, my lord, there are 70 black bandits in Yanzhou right now."

"Is it possible that I want to watch Qingzhou fall into the hands of Yuan Benchu!?"

"My lord, don't worry. In today's chaotic world, if there is not enough military protection and a large population to maintain it, what is the use of having more territories? And the people in Qingzhou almost all joined the Black Mountain Bandit, and all the Black Bandit Such a huge number. As long as the lord is here in Yanzhou, half of the Black Mountain bandits who will commit crimes in the future will be collected, and then the population will be brought in from the counties and counties of Qingzhou with lightning speed. Even if Yuan Benchu ​​can get Qingzhou, he will only get a large area. It's just empty space."

Cao Cao's eyes lit up suddenly, and the original dark complexion was swept away, and he even laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha. If it wasn't for Feng Xiao's reminder, I haven't woken up yet. Okay! In this case, I will first follow Wenhe's plan and use the hands of the black mountain bandits to murder Liu Dai, a restless and kind old man, and then take all After the remnants of the army, we will fight the Black Mountain Bandits. After defeating the Black Mountain Bandits, we will recruit their surrendered troops, and finally bring back a large number of people from Qingzhou!"

Under the advice and advice of Jia Xu and Guo Jia, two heavenly geniuses, Cao Cao finally decided on the next move of the forces under him.

The development of the current situation is also proceeding as planned by Cao Cao and others.Ten days later, the gate of Changyi city was opened by the eyeliner arranged by Cao Cao, and a large number of black mountain bandits rushed into Changyi city. Unexpectedly, Liu Dai took his family and fled in a hurry. There are almost all black mountain bandits everywhere. With the support of Yanzhou soldiers, Liu Dai has not yet escaped from the city. His army was killed by the black mountain bandits who came from all directions. Under the knife, after Liu Dai's death, the Yanzhou army had no leader, and the remaining soldiers scattered, throwing away their helmets and armor and fleeing everywhere.The black mountain bandits covered and killed all the way, and killed the [-] scattered Yanzhou soldiers until blood flowed into rivers. Inside and outside Changyi City, there were Yanzhou Bing's corpses.The number of Yanzhou soldiers who escaped in the end was less than [-].

But at this time, Cao Jun, who had already led the army and lurked 1 miles outside Changyi City, suddenly killed Changyi City the next day. Cao Cao guarded the battalion and did not attack first. At the same time, he sent several scout teams to look for the remnants of Yanzhou soldiers in the surrounding area.The remnants of Yanzhou soldiers who fled to the surrounding area, or met Cao Cao's scouts, or heard the news of Cao Cao's leading troops coming along the way, rushed to Cao Cao's camp.After five days, Cao Cao had all the remnants of Yanzhou, and his strength reached nearly [-].

Cao cao has a new army, so he will first collect and rest.During this period, the Heishan bandits made successive attacks, but were repelled by Cao Jun.One of them, Jia Xu made a plan to teach Cao Cao to lead the army to withdraw from the camp at nightfall, and at the same time place flammable objects on both sides of the camp.

When all the bandits from Heishan entered the camp, they saw that the camp was empty, so they knew that it was a trick, and it was the time of great chaos.Cao Cao's generals Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan shouted in unison on both sides of the camp, and ordered the ambushing soldiers to shoot arrows together.The flaming arrows passed through the night sky, like a huge meteor shower falling into the camp. There were countless inflammable objects in the camp. Under the burning of countless rockets, the camp immediately burst into flames. Countless black bandits were shot to death, burnt to death, pushed and trampled to death by their comrades.The nearly [-] black bandits who attacked almost died. Later, the black bandits in Changyi city saw the flames in the distance, burning the night into day. The black bandit generals in the city immediately sent another [-] soldiers to rescue them.Unexpectedly, when they rushed halfway, they were ambushed by Dian Wei and Cao Ren, and the Black Mountain bandits who came to rescue were frightened again and again, and suddenly became chaotic. One piece is full of blood red flying meat.

Later, Cao Cao came with his army and rushed to fight with Dian Wei and Cao Ren. At dawn, half of the Heishan bandits who came to rescue died, and the rest fled back to Changyi City.Seeing that the soldiers had been killed all night, Cao Cao did not pursue them, so he ordered all the generals to lead all the troops back to the village.

In this battle, more than 8 Black Mountain bandits died, and Cao Cao's prestige hit the hearts of every Black Mountain bandit again.Since then, the Heishan bandits in Changyi City did not dare to attack rashly, and their morale plummeted.Several black mountain bandit generals even thought that Cao Cao used soldiers like a god, and they had an invincible fear of Cao Cao. After discussing with them, they decided to lead their subordinates to surrender to Cao Cao, so as to save their lives.

A few days later, Cao Cao was overjoyed when he got the secret letter from these Black Mountain bandit generals.

"Angel, I got Changyi!"

Afterwards, Cao Cao rewarded the visitor heavily, and at the same time summoned civil servants under his command. After discussing with Jia Xu, Guo Jia and other counselors, he decided to follow the agreement in the letter, and in the night three days later, he would serve as an internal response to the black mountain bandits who had surrendered in the city. Lead the army under his command to attack Changyi City.

On the appointed day, Cao Cao divided his army into three groups and came to the city of Changyi.Cao Cao went to watch it first, and saw flags and streamers erected all over the city, and a white flag with the word "righteousness" on the corner of the west gate. He was secretly happy, thinking that this would be done.

It is the sun and noon card, the gate of the city is opened, and two Montenegrin generals lead the army into battle.Even though Dianwei and Xiahoudun rode out, Dianwei rode his horse and galloped towards the general on the left, while Xiahoudun swung his gun and slapped his horse to meet the general on the right.Dian Wei yelled fiercely, his voice was like thunder, and before the people arrived, he was so frightened that the Black Mountain general on the opposite side almost fell off his horse.When Dian Wei rushed to him, he raised his halberd and stabbed him to death with one halberd.As for the other side, Xiahou Dun met the general on the right, stabbing with a flying spear, and the shadow of the spear was like fire and thunder. The Montenegrin general was pierced in the head by Xiahou Dun before he could shoot.Both Black Mountain bandit generals died, and the sergeants under him immediately dispersed in a rush, and they all turned around to look at the city and fled.Dian Wei and Xiahou Dun rushed to the side of the suspension bridge, and after a while of killing, they were so brave that they killed hundreds of black bandits.

But at this moment, several Black Mountain bandits took advantage of the situation and came to see Cao Cao, saying that he was a confidant of the general who had surrendered, and presented a secret letter.

Shuyun: "At the first watch tonight, the gong is sounded on the city as a sign, and the troops can enter. I and a few people have also made arrangements. At that time, I and a few people will guard the city gates on the south, east, south, and north sides. Duke Cao will attack on time. , I will lead the army to dedicate the city gates on the south, east and north sides."

After Cao Cao saw it, the smile on his face was even bigger. He sent Xiahou Dun to lead the army to the east, Cao Ren led the army to the south, and himself led the four generals Xiahouyuan, Li Dian, Le Jin, and Dian Wei to the north gate.

It was about the beginning of the change, the moonlight was not up, and the night was not dark.Only the sound of blowing shells was heard on the three gates in the southeast, north, and shouts suddenly, the torches on the gates were lit up, the city gates were opened wide, and the suspension bridge was lowered.

When Cao Cao saw that the thieves had offered the city as promised, he rushed in immediately.Xia Houyuan, Li Dian, Le Jin, and Dian Wei hurriedly followed behind Cao Cao. At the same time, Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren also led troops into the city on the southeast sides.

Cao Jun's three armies rushed into the city, and the Heishan bandit defenders in the southeast and north cities suddenly turned back and killed the Heishan bandits who were rushing towards the gate of the city. When the Heishan bandits saw their former comrades slashing their knives at them, they panicked for a while.At this time, Cao Jun's three armies had already rushed from behind, and rushed towards the chaotic army of the Black Mountain bandits.After several Black Mountain bandit generals were killed by Xia Houdun, Cao Ren, and Dian Wei who bravely rushed into the enemy's formation, some Black Mountain bandits could no longer bear the fear in their hearts and fled to the west gate one after another.

As part of the black bandits escaped, it seemed like a plague was spreading, and the black bandit troops fled desperately towards the west gate.Cao Cao's three armies were in one place, and those black mountain bandits who surrendered all had white belts tied to their left arms. Cao Cao's soldiers and horses all knew beforehand that they could distinguish the enemy from ourselves, so they didn't kill anyone by mistake.

Afterwards, Cao Cao led the army to hide and kill at the west gate, causing all the Black Mountain bandits to scream like a torrential downpour.After fighting for three hours, about 50 Black Mountain bandits managed to escape outside the city, and the remaining [-] to [-] bandits were all surrounded and killed by Cao Jun.

Seeing that this is the right time to subdue these black bandits, Cao Cao hastily shouted loudly.

"If you don't want to die, put down your weapon, and those who surrender will not be killed!!"

As soon as Cao Cao drank, all the surrounding Cao soldiers raised their weapons high and roared in unison.

"If you don't want to die, put down your weapon, and those who surrender will not be killed!!"

These [-] to [-] thieves had long since lost their will to fight, and now they were besieged and killed, with no morale.Soon, there was a sound of weapons falling to the ground, and the [-] to [-] bandits all knelt down and surrendered.

At this point, Cao Cao captured Changyi City, and there were more than 16 Heishan bandits who surrendered and surrendered, and their strength increased sharply.Excluding the [-] people who died in successive battles with the Black Bandits, the military strength reached [-].
