Han family achievements

Chapter 491: Defeating Wuhuan
The morale of the Han army was as high as a rainbow, and the shouts of killing were loud, chasing the Wuhuan army to fight.

Wuhuan's army had completely collapsed, and they had no choice but to flee for their lives.

Cao Cao personally led his generals to cover up the enemy and marched directly into Liucheng.

There was already chaos in the city, and countless officials and people were running frantically for their lives.

Cao Hong's face was red and he was extremely excited. He said in front of Cao Cao: "General, there are too many people in the city, and there are also countless Wuhuan soldiers and horses, people of various ethnic groups, and Han people mixed in. What should I do?"

There is no doubt that the victory will be great, but what should Liucheng do?
Although Liucheng is Wuhuan's territory, there are also many Han people and they need to be dealt with properly.

Cao Cao rode on his horse, expressionless, and said calmly: "Follow the old rules."

Cao Hong was startled, then said in a deep voice: "Take the order!"

The old rule is also simple: those who do not surrender will be killed without mercy!

Along the way, Cao Cao went on a killing spree and massacred the city at every turn, whether he was pinging Qiao Mao, destroying the Yellow Turbans, or executing Dong Zhuo.

Of course, there was enough cover-up afterwards.

Only the "Slaughter of Three Cities" in Yanzhou caused an uproar because it happened in a peaceful area.

Cao Cao rode his horse and strolled through the city. There were corpses, blood, and broken limbs along the way.

Not long after Cao Hong left, even more screams broke out in the city. Countless people were running away, while the Han army behind them was like murderers. Anyone who did not kneel down and surrender would be hacked to death.

In less than half an hour, Liucheng became calm.

Panting heavily, Cao Ang came to Cao Cao and said excitedly: "Father, Liucheng has been basically cleared. Xiahou, Sun Ce, Lu Bu and others have already pursued them out of the city."

Cao Cao looked at the main hall that looked luxurious but was actually simple. He didn't look happy and said calmly: "Just let Xiahou Dun take command."

Cao Ang nodded heavily, his eyes red with blood.

In his heart, he admired his father, admired his father for being calm and composed even now, and even more admired his father for winning two games with less and more!
Such a record is enough to go down in history, on par with Wei Huo!

Cao Cao slowly sat down and placed his sword across his legs.

He still had no expression, but he was very excited in his heart. This was even more exciting than when he conquered Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Yuzhou!

Xiao Wuhuan is not in his eyes, but this battle is very important to him!
If he loses this battle, he will die and be remembered as a "treacherous and evil minister" in history books, but he won!

He won this battle!
An unprecedented smooth road is at his feet!

While Cao Cao and his son were talking to each other in silence and each had their own thoughts, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin, Lu Bu, and Sun Ce each led their troops to pursue the fleeing Wuhuan army in all directions, conquering the city and territory, and were invincible.

It was not until evening that the generals from all walks of life gradually returned with their troops and began to count the results of the battle.

Until late at night, in the small main hall of Liucheng, all the generals gathered together, all of them still immersed in the joy of victory.

The happiest person was none other than Cao Hong, because he was reading his post-war summary:

"Six thousand enemies have been killed, including Wuhuan King Tadun, capable ministers, Louban, and more than ten kings and kings. Their heads have been put into lime boxes and will be sent to the court tomorrow."

"Now that Liucheng is down, Guangcheng, Linyu and the counties in western Liaoning will not be conquered soon. Cao Ren's army is expected to arrive in two or three days. By then, it will be able to sweep through the northern counties and completely complete the general's goal and put down the troubles in Youzhou!"

"At present, the total number of captured Han, Wuhuan and other Yi tribes exceeds 200,000, and 700,000 cattle and sheep are currently detained outside the city. The baggage seized includes more than 10 million yuan in cash, 200,000 shi of grain, and 200,000 dan of gold. Countless silver, jade, etc..."

Cao Cao sat on the main seat and listened quietly. Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin, Sun Ce, Lu Bu and others suppressed their excitement. The results of this battle were great, and the court would definitely reward them heavily!

Cao Hong talked for an unknown amount of time before he stopped with a dry mouth, looked at Cao Cao and said, "General, what are your next orders?"

Now they have breached Wuhuan's home base of Liucheng, but it is not just a simple breach.

Cao Cao understood what he meant, glanced at everyone present, and said with a smile: "I will report my merits to the court overnight for this battle. Your names will definitely shine brightly!"

"Thank you, General!" Everyone said with great joy.

Didn't they fight desperately just for the four words "fame and fortune"? As long as their names are on the victory report, the reward from the court will never be light!

Cao Cao's smile remained unchanged and he said: "Those who surrender, according to the old rules, will be selected from Qingzhou and sent to the army, and the others will be resettled to cultivate farmland."

Cao Hong took note of it carefully, but it was meaningless. This was their 'old rule'.

This time it was only 200,000. Compared with the previous 300,000, 500,000, or even millions, it was simply 'light'.

"As for the captured baggage, half of it will be used as military pay, and the rest will be escorted to Ji County."

Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that the new Youzhou Mu is coming to Jixian soon?"

Cao Hong nodded heavily and said: "Calculating the time, it should be almost time."

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, then changed his subject and said coldly: "Liaodong and the Huns still haven't come?"

Cao Hong's face also changed, and he was filled with anger and said: "General, I think they not only want to sit back and watch, but also want to benefit from it. Their intentions are to be punished!"

Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan and others looked at each other without speaking, but their expressions were in agreement.

Logically speaking, they had just come from Luoyang, encountered heavy rain along the way, and traveled so far for more than a month. Liaodong County and the Huns were so close, how could they not arrive yet?
With ulterior motives!

Cao Cao touched his beard, then smiled and said: "I think it won't take long for them to arrive."

Seeing Cao Cao's confident expression, Cao Hong suddenly understood and nodded again.

Their side defeated Wuhuan and their military power was greatly boosted. No matter it was Gongsundu from Liaodong or the Huns, they did not dare to be careless and they would definitely come quickly!
After Cao Cao said this, he sat up straight and said in a deep voice: "Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Yue Jin, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, I have ordered you to wipe out all the Wuhuan remnants in western Liaoning tomorrow morning. Kill without mercy!"

"The last general takes command!" All the generals responded loudly.

After they finished their response, Cao Cao began to seriously arrange his troops and determine the strategy and tactics for sweeping western Liaoning.

At the same time, the newly appointed Youzhou Mu Zhu Jianping had not yet arrived in Jixian, but he had already received the news that Cao Cao had defeated Wuhuan, although it was the first battle of Bailang Mountain.

Zhu Jianping was still overjoyed and hurried on his way. At the same time, he ordered the governors of Youzhou counties and famous families to go to Jixian to meet him. On the other hand, he did not forget to report the victory to the court.

"Can you still feel Cao Ren?" Zhu Jianping sat in the carriage and looked at the guards escorting him outside the curtain.

The military marquis shook his head and said: "Zhu Shijun, General Cao Zhonglang is marching in a hurry, and he has been walking for a day. With our speed, there is no way we can catch up."

Zhu Jianping lowered the curtain with a look of regret.

He really wanted to get closer to Cao Ren. After all, he, the shepherd of Youzhou, was newly appointed, and he had to establish a good relationship with Cao Cao, who had pacified Youzhou, in order to have a stable position.
