Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 269 Clean up everything!Cao Mengde arrived in Yecheng! 【6000 words please subscribe please monthly ticket】

In the period of two months before and after, the land of Kanto has gathered forces from more than ten directions.

Jizhou, Yanzhou, and even Sili.

Surrounding Wei Jun and Cao Ang as the center, more than a dozen people from both sides were involved.

Fighting on multiple fronts, blossoming on all sides.

Whether to contain each other or confront each other, the total number of troops invested in the entire Kanto battlefield is already countless. I don't know how many people participated in this melee.

It can be regarded as completely turning the Kanto area into gruel.

But as May is about to pass.

Strictly speaking, this joint campaign was not a protracted one, but it was gradually drawn to a close.

Zhang Liao defeated the enemy in Sheguo area.

The Suigu side was completely removed from the list.

Zhang Liao, who led the army back, decisively handed over the prisoners to Yecheng for custody after receiving Cao Ang's order, and then sent 1 people to the north to cooperate with Ding Yuan and Han Fu to meet Zhang Yan head-on.

Because of the lessons learned from the Suigu army.

Although Zhang Yan would not be negligent, he did not want to entangle Cao Jun anymore, for fear that he would follow in the footsteps of the Little Black Mountain Army.

So after Cao Ang's letter arrived.

Resolutely wrote back to apologize to Cao Ang, and rushed his troops back to the north of Changshan Kingdom.

It is expected that it will not go south again in a short time.

However, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan could not do anything to each other. Seeing that the battle situation was clear, Gongsun Zan took a step ahead and retreated to the extreme north of Jizhou.

So far, the war in the northern border has subsided for the time being.

……

As for the direction south of Jizhou.

Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao and Chen Wang Liu Chong joined forces.

He won three battles and three victories against Yuan Shu.

Even though Yuan Shu had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, Cao Cao and Liu Chong combined were a little less than Yuan Shu.

But in terms of specific combat.

Yuan Shu is really far behind.

At first, the Cao and Liu families were bewildered by Yuan Shu's abundant troops and strength, so they were held back by Yuan Shu for a while.

It's just that Cao Cao changed his strategic thinking.

Urgently wanting to lead troops northward, after supporting Cao Ang, the battle situation was reversed instantly.

Three head-to-head battles in a row.

Yuan Shu could be said to have been defeated all the way.

First, he was jointly kicked out of Fuyu County, and then he was beaten all the way, and was directly expelled from Chenliu County.

In the last battle, Cao Cao and Liu Chong even joined forces, went south into Yingchuan County, and brazenly launched a counterattack against Yuan Shu.

Da Yi not only wanted to defend Chenliu County and Yanzhou, but even counterattacked Yuzhou and Nanyang County.

And in this last battle.

Yuan Shu lost even more miserably.

The army retreated for dozens of miles, lost two or three county towns including Xu County one after another, and retreated all the way to Yingyin County, only to get a breather.

If it weren't for Sun Jian, who was appointed by Yuan Shu as the governor of Yuzhou, he brought thousands of elite soldiers to support him and joined Yuan Shu in one place.

I'm afraid this battle is not over yet.

Yuan Shu must continue to retreat!

It's just that things have come to this point.

It doesn't make any sense whether to continue the fight. The main battlefield in the north has already decided the outcome, and the south side is being suppressed and beaten all the way, and they are driven away vigorously.

Even with a strong general like Sun Jian coming to support him.

Yuan Shu didn't think he could take much advantage. The key was to wait for Cao Ang in the north to clean up all the forces and take out his hand to deal with him.

Then no matter how much he occupies now.

Spit it all out later too.

Not so much.

It's better to take this opportunity to stop fighting and rush back to Nanyang County immediately to recuperate for a period of time, and then come to settle the old accounts with Cao's father and son.

So after a little rest.

Filled with humiliation and unwillingness, Yuan Shu led his troops out of Yingchuan County all the way, and retreated back to Luyang County of Nanyang County, which was heavily populated before.

to this moment.

On the northern and southern fronts.

Only Zhang Yang and Yu Fuluo were left, the combined forces of the two forces were still lingering.

…………

late may.

Located in Chao Ga District, Hanoi County.

There are two groups of soldiers and horses stationed outside the city.

It was from the central part of Hanoi County, marching all the way to the northeast, trying to take advantage of the chaos in Wei County to snatch Yecheng and make huge profits. Zhang Yang and Yu Fuluo allied forces.

It's just that the coalition forces of the two sides are now.

However, Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, dragged him to Chaoge County. Anyone who wanted to act rashly would be chased and beaten by Wang Kuang's army.

And as long as they retreated to Chaoge County, and the flags and drums died down, Wang Kuang would also be stationed outside the city, and would not do anything to attack the city.

The meaning of pulling confrontation is particularly obvious.

under these circumstances.

If the Allied forces of the Southern Xiongnu wanted to plunder Yecheng again, it would be tantamount to a dream. In the melee in the Kanto region, it can be said that this side did not gain any results.

The more critical point is.

Even if they intend to abandon strategic goals.

Wang Kuang did not intend to let them go.

As long as you leave Chaoge County, you have to tear it to the end, no matter which direction you run.

It can be said that the instructions Yuan Shao conveyed to him were carried out quite thoroughly and meticulously.

As such.

Zhang and Yang are in big trouble!

……

At the moment in the county government of Chaoge County.

Two burly men were sitting opposite each other at the table.

One of them was described as acceptable, while the other looked quite rough, with a beard all over his face, and a layer of primitive leather armor wrapped around his body, which was a bit of an exotic demeanor.

And on the table in front of the two of them.

There is a letter of persuasion to surrender with Cao Ang's seal on it. There are no long speeches on it, and there is nothing reasonable or emotional.

Just a few short sentences.

"Chaoge County is surrounded by heavy siege, there is no way to advance or retreat, and it is a dilemma."

"You two can be said to have no way to go to heaven, and no way to go down to earth, just like a bird in a cage, or a fish in a net, even with wings, it is difficult to fly out of this place."

"If the two of you are knowledgeable, agree to abandon your troops, unload your armor, open the city gates, and surrender to our army, General Cao Ren, then you will both have a chance to survive."

"If not, our army will have all the best soldiers, even the soldiers of the king and the prefect will be sandwiched between them. At that time, the two swords and axes will come to their heads, and they will die on the spot. Don't say it was unexpected!"

Cao Ang's letter can be said to be written in a murderous manner.

Between every word and sentence, there is a flash of cold light.

Cao Ang didn't cover up the situation Zhang and Yang were in right now, but directly lifted the fig leaf, and ruthlessly poked the bloody wound of the two of them.

Frankly speaking, the two have no way out now.

If you don't turn your back on your arms and disarm your armor, and surrender with courtesy, you will end up with nothing but death.

In addition to the above text.

Cao Ang is also very considerate.

At the bottom of this silk book, a simple schematic diagram was drawn.

With various arrows and red circles, the situation of the two of them is clearly marked.

Anyway, the meaning of forced landing has been conveyed.

……

Now facing this letter of surrender.

Both of them were silent.

After a while.

Just then Zhang Yang pointed to the simple schematic diagram on the silk book, and then heaved a long sigh.

"What Cao Zixiu said is true. In the south of Chaoge County, there is Wang Kuang leading an army of more than [-], and there is no room for us to stop our retreat."

"And in the north, there is Cao Ren who arrived here a few days ago with an army of [-]."

"To the east are Wei County and Yanzhou. This is the foundation of the Cao family. If we rush to the east, it is tantamount to throwing ourselves into a trap and seeking our own death."

Three parties in succession were blocked.

Zhang Yang finally pointed his finger to the west on the map.

"The only feasible strategy is to enter Bingzhou from the west. Now that Suigu and others are dead, a large area of ​​Shangdang County happens to be vacated."

"If you and I can win this place, it will be a place to settle down."

However, in the face of Zhang Yang's suggestion.

Yu Fuluo scratched his beard, and then said in a low voice.

"Shangdang County is adjacent to Wei County. If we go to Shangdang County, it will be nothing more than going back to the old road."

"Under the siege of five parties, Cao's army was able to defeat the enemy. Now that all parties have retreated and they have freed up their hands, they will take the initiative to attack Shangdang County and capture us. It is not difficult to think about it."

"What's more, Ding Jianyang, who is stationed in Taiyuan County, can help Cao Ang resist Zhang Yan, and he can also help him crusade against us. This road is also a dead end!"

speak here.

Yu Fuluo tapped again with his knuckles in the northern part of Hanoi County, which is the location of Linlu County north of Chaoge County.

"Besides, as far as I know, Zhang Yan has now voluntarily retreated and dare not offend the land of Wei County."

"Cao Ang's general, Zhang Liao, has brought more than ten thousand troops southward, preparing to encircle our army. He should be here now."

"This is Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan. I don't have the confidence to win against him at all. I don't think I can withdraw from under his nose in a grand manner."

……

Yufro said a lot of frustration.

But Zhang Yang couldn't refute it at all.

In fact, the above-mentioned words are all telling the truth, and there is no exaggeration.

This is the most hopeless!
Just like what Cao Ang said in the letter, there is no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth, so where can you escape?
"Ugh!"

"Zhang Yan, a thief, is really not a son of man!"

"There are still more than [-] troops, but in the end, they were scared back like this, and they didn't even see Cao Jun's face. What a loser!"

Zhang Yang is now full of resentment towards Zhang Yan.

After all, if Zhang Yan, the commander-in-chief of the Montenegro Army, can fight to the death and fight Cao Jun's general Zhang Liao.

Then the pressure on their side will be much less, and they may be able to withdraw from the battlefield with ease.

Far from sinking to the point where it is now.

Hearing Zhang Yang's complaints.

Yu Fuluo also patted his forehead.

"A wimp is quite a wimp, but what if he doesn't retreat?"

"Is there any difference between the soldiers under his command and the troops that Sui Gu led back then?"

"Zhang Liao's beating Suigu is like beating a dog. It wouldn't take too much effort to beat Zhang Yan. Do you think he can't be afraid?"

"If I were him, I'm afraid he would run faster. It doesn't even need Zhang Liao to lead 1 people to the north. On the day I receive the news of Suigu's defeat, I have to lead my troops back to my lair."

……

The two complained back and forth like this.

The volume also gradually decreased.

After a long while.

Zhang Yang suddenly patted the table.

Then he asked straightforwardly: "It's useless to talk more, what should we do now, shall we fight hard to escape the siege, or surrender to Cao Jun."

"What do you think?"

Yu Fuluo glanced at Zhang Yang.

This moment can be described as a myriad of thoughts.

After a while.

Yu Fuluo moistened his dry lips, and then picked up the surrender letter from the table with both hands.

"Surrender!"

"Cao Jun's regular troops are not many right now, and it is the time when there is a shortage of people. The two of us brothers will vote there. Maybe we can be reused and have a good future."

"Only when there is no way out, you need to fight to the death. Cao Jun recruited us not to catch and kill us, so why should you and I take risks?"

Speaking of it.

Yuvro suddenly lowered his voice.

Then he moved to Zhang Yang's ear.

He whispered to him: "Right now we are in a tight siege, we have no choice, so surrender."

"If we look for opportunities in the future, it's okay for us to leave Cao Jun and find a better place for ourselves!"

Zhang Yang's eyes flickered a few times.

Then nodded heavily.

"Brother Luan Ti is right. With Cao Ang and Cao Zixiu's current prestige, it is not a shame for you and me to surrender to him."

"Even the White Horse General, Gongsun Zan, suffered a great loss under his hands. How can we be spared?"

…………

this afternoon.

The two sent envoys to the north.

After gaining the trust of Cao Ren.

Then he opened the city gate, put down his weapons, took off his armor, bound his hands, and surrendered the whole army to Cao Jun.

And after five days.

Cao Ang was in Yecheng, the capital of Wei County.

He solemnly accepted the surrender of the two.

This surrender ceremony can be described as a sensation in the whole city.

Although Zhang Liao captured more than [-] young and strong before, it also had a shocking effect, but after all, they were only young and strong.

Even the vast majority of them can only be called men, and they can't match the word young and strong at all.

In contrast, the Southern Huns coalition forces.

The soldiers under his command dare not call them top elites, but all of them are good players, and most of them are strong and strong men.

As many as tens of thousands of such people were surrendered outside the city with their hands bound, and their influence was far greater than that of the refugees.

After this battle.

Cao Ang's reputation reached the top again.

It seems to have become the belief of Yecheng, and even the whole Wei County, and many people respect him.

From local aristocrats to traffickers and peasants in the fields, most people regard Cao Ang as a god in the world and worship him.

Predictably.

If Wei County encounters any difficulties in the future, the people in the county will only have full confidence in Cao Ang, and there will be no doubts like this time.

Since today.

Wei County has completely become an unshakable part of the Cao family's territory. Its status cannot be said to be equal to that of Yanzhou, but its strength is not bad at all.

The people of Weijun only knew of General Cao in the future.

I don't know there is Jizhou, and even the Han court!
……

In the county mansion of Weijun.

Cao Ang and his left and right civil and military ministers were discussing secretly in the study.

At this moment, as the commander of the three armies, Zhang Liao, who had enjoyed countless honors in the first World War, was standing aside, reporting the situation in the army to Cao Ang.

"General, according to your instructions, the last general has completely dismantled the organizational system of the Southern Huns, and the army led by Zhang Yang has also been dismantled."

"It's just that the number of splits between the two is different. The Southern Huns should be divided into smaller groups. The overall size is smaller than that of our army, and they are not allowed to communicate with each other privately on weekdays."

Listening to Zhang Liao's report.

Cao Ang nodded to make it clear.

Then he gave instructions: "As the so-called non-my race, their hearts must be different. This group of Southern Huns are not kind-hearted people."

"In the past, the late emperor conscripted them to crusade against the Yellow Turbans. They were supposed to be the army of the imperial court. However, when the late emperor died, these people immediately turned into bandits and ravaged and plundered among the counties and counties. They can be called vicious people."

"If it wasn't for the lack of regular soldiers in our army right now, and the promise I made when I recruited them, I would have ordered Jiang Fuluo and the others to be beheaded."

For the urine of people like Yuvro.

Cao Ang can be said to see clearly.

What's more, in history, this guy was not a good thing at first, and he had a very strong habit of robbers.

Looting and treason are almost commonplace.

And also proficient in the technique of kidnapping.

It is reasonable for such a person to beat him to death directly.

As for the group of Southern Huns soldiers.

That is not a good thing.

They were all shot, maybe some were innocent, but if they were shot one by one, there would definitely be someone who slipped through the net!
Now Cao Ang is showing great charity.

It still looks at this group of Southern Huns soldiers, who are quite brave and can be used as cannon fodder on the battlefield, as the front row, otherwise they really wouldn't be treated so well.

……

A reminder to your own general.

Zhang Liao nodded again.

"Don't worry, general, right now our army headquarters has fewer soldiers and horses, so it's not easy to mix them up."

"But as long as our army absorbs some soldiers from the young and strong captured Black Mountain bandits, and divides and disperses them at that time, it will not be a difficult task!"

Cao Ang nodded slightly.

This kind of thing that specifically controls the army.

He has nothing to worry about if he leaves it to generals like Zhang Liao and Cao Ren.

Small thieves like Zhang Yang and Yu Fuluo, in front of Wen Yuan and other great generals, aren't there two or three fleas who are pinched by hand?

After skipping this matter.

Cao Ang turned his head to look at Cao Chun who was beside him.

After clicking Qinghe Kingdom on the map with his hand, he smiled and said to Cao Tun.

"Now that the crisis in Wei County has been resolved, and the results of this battle are spread, all forces in the world will no longer dare to easily confront our army."

"All parties in Jizhou fear our army like tigers and wolves."

"Right now is a good time for you, the Prime Minister of Qinghe Kingdom, to take up your post. No one will stand in the way of your taking office. Even within the territory of Qinghe Kingdom, they will take the initiative to welcome you."

……

Cao Chun was appointed Prime Minister of Qinghe.

This was determined in the original four-party armistice agreement, and it belonged to Cao Ang's appeasement and compensation.

It's just that it hasn't had time to take over the land.

Just met the storm in Wei County.

It has been delayed until this time.

Now that the turmoil has calmed down, the chain effect produced has even made the land of Jizhou overwhelmed by it. This also helped the Cao family take charge of the Qinghe Kingdom, clearing away all obstacles.

It's just after hearing Cao Ang's order.

Cao Chun cupped his hands to answer at the same time.

But he said with some hesitation and embarrassment: "General, if the last general leaves, what about the cavalry battalion here? Don't you have fewer available people under your command?"

"It's better for you to change to another person to take office. The final general still wants to stay by your side and listen to you. I am willing to ride forward for you, the general, not for the prime minister of a country."

Cao Chun is not stupid.

Going to Laoshi Ziqing and the country, being a so-called top leader, how could it be more comfortable to stay with General Cao and feel the visit of the holy family all the time?
Which one is more promising, local officials or court officials?

He can still tell the difference.

……

But in the face of Cao Chun's euphemistic resignation.

Cao Ang just reprimanded softly.

Then he waved his hand and scolded with a smile: "I told you to take up the post, but it's just a trip, do you really plan to stay there forever?"

"You go over with some soldiers and horses, frighten the forces of all parties in the area, gather the power in the county, and then wait with peace of mind."

"Yanzhou Prefecture will send special personnel to go north to handle all kinds of affairs in the county and country for you. Then you can bring people back with you, and you can just take the post of Prime Minister from my side."

Following Cao Ang's eloquence.

Cao Chun breathed a sigh of relief.

It's okay to stay there for a while, as long as the general doesn't abandon him and let him stay in the corner to eat ashes.

"Shh!"

With the sound of the flap of the clothes.

Cao Chun suddenly stood up.

Then he bowed to Cao Ang.

"The last general takes orders!"

……

After deciding on two major events in succession.

Cao Ang was preparing to discuss something else.

It's just that he didn't even have time to start talking.

There was a rush of footsteps outside the study, accompanied by a rustling sound.

Then I heard Dian Wei, that highly recognizable voice, rang in my ears.

"General, there is an urgent report from the city gate that Duke Cao has led his troops to ten miles south of the city!"

"Before noon, you can reach Yecheng!"

Ok?
Dad Cao Cao is here?

Although it came suddenly, if you calculate the time, it should be around this time.

Thinking of this, Cao Ang immediately stood up.

He bowed his hands to the people on the left and right.

"Everyone, follow me out of the city to welcome you!"

Xun You and the others immediately agreed.
