Yuexu Wushan, passed Lulongsai, and attacked Liucheng.

During the distance of hundreds of miles, even though the roads were desolate and there were no people in the hundreds of miles, Cao Cao tried his best to hide his whereabouts, but was finally discovered by Yuan Xita.Karasuma in western Liaoning mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to intercept Cao Cao at Bailang Mountain.In terms of military strength, Cao Cao does not have an advantage; in terms of geography, Cao Cao is the guest, and Ta Dun is the master.This was supposed to be a disastrous defeat for Cao Cao, but it ended with Cao Cao winning in the end.

At that time, Cao's army was heavily behind, and there were even few soldiers.

But Karasuma's tens of thousands of sudden cavalry attacked, but Cao's army was not at all chaotic.Cao Cao ordered Zhang Liao to form an array to stop Karasuma's cavalry.Then he climbed up with Xun You to look out, and saw that although Karasuma's army was numerous, it was disorganized and disorganized.Therefore, Cao Cao ordered Cao Zhang and Niu Gang to lead a cavalry army each and attack from both wings.Cao Zhang took the lead and led his troops into the enemy's formation, with several arrows in his body, and among the chaotic army, beheaded his head.

As soon as he died, the Karasuma army was in chaos.

During the chaos, Yuan Xi was shot and killed by Cao Zhang with Cao Gong's arrow, and died in the chaos.

Once Yuan Xi died, the Karasuma army had no leader.Zhang Liao took advantage of the situation to hide and kill, and beheaded thousands... Karasuma's army surrendered. Cao Cao ordered Zhang Liao to continue to attack.

In the battle of White Wolf Mountain, the elite of western Liaoning were lost.

The loss of Liucheng made Fei Ru Qianzhao and Jiang Yiqu even more unwilling to continue to resist.

Guo Jia was keenly aware of Yuan Jun's movements, so he ordered Xia Houshang and others to launch an attack immediately and successfully crossed the Rushui.

Seeing that the general situation was over, Qianzhao and Jiang Yiqu simply stopped resisting.

The two sent envoys to ask Cao Jun to surrender.Since Cao Cao was not in the army, Guo Jia, in the name of the prime minister, accepted the recruitment of Jiang Yiqu and Jiang Yiqu to surrender, and recruited Yuan Jun to surrender nearly 10 soldiers.

At the beginning of August, Gongsun Kang of Liaodong asked to surrender.

Cao Cao appointed Zhang Liao as General of the Crossing Liao Zhonglang, commanded [-] troops, crossed the Liao River, and took Xiangping directly.

In history, the Battle of White Wolf Mountain may be the reason why Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang survived. In addition, Guo Jia died of illness, Cao Cao had to stop attacking, and a man came to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, allowing the Yuan brothers to flee to Liaodong.Later, although Gongsun Kang of Liaodong killed the Yuan brothers and asked to surrender, Cao Cao did not occupy Liaodong in a real sense.It wasn't until Cao Pi ascended the throne and the Cao family and the Gongsun family joined forces to deal with Goguryeo that Cao's army was stationed in the land of Liaodong.However, in this life, since the Yuan brothers are dead, Gongsun Kang is also powerless to resist.

So at Xun You's suggestion, Cao Cao ordered Zhang Liao to enter Liaodong and occupy Xiangping.

At the same time, Cao Cao gave Zhang Liao another task, which was to order Zhang Liao to attack Goguryeo, which has eased the pressure on Lu Han.

After the Battle of Youzhou began, Lu's Han Kingdom held back Goguryeo to death as agreed.

It is also for this reason that although Goguryeo promised Yuan Xi to send troops to help, it never sent troops.However, Goguryeo and Silla joined forces to suppress the Lu Han Kingdom. In just a few months, the Lu Han Kingdom had suffered huge losses.If Cao's army does not send troops again, it may be difficult for Lu's Han Dynasty to persevere.This Han Kingdom of the Lu family was the hero of Cao Cao's ascension to the prime minister, and it was his great achievement... Therefore, no matter what, it is impossible for Cao Cao to sit back and watch the Han Kingdom of the Lu family be wiped out by Goguryeo.If Lu's Han Dynasty perishes, there will be no one to contain Goguryeo...

At the end of August in the 12th year of Jian'an, Zhang Liao sent troops from Xiangping, with Niu Gang as the vanguard, entered Koguryo along the Daliang River, conquered Zhishenggu City, and looked at the capital of Koguryo, the domestic city.This inner city is Ji'an on the banks of the Yalu River in later generations.Wei Gong was shocked when he heard that Cao Jun had invaded.He hastily mobilized troops from the southern front to meet Zhang Liao.After several months of hard work, Lu's Han Kingdom finally heard good news!
Lu Lan immediately ordered Zhou Qi to take a boat to Liaodong to meet Zhang Liao.

In December, Lu's Han Kingdom and Zhang Liao joined forces to attack Goguryeo and defeated the throne...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++
Cao Cao originally planned to kill Goguryeo and completely pacify Liaodong in one go.

However, winter is coming to an end, and the unique climate in Liaodong forced Cao Cao to temporarily change his decision and withdraw his troops to return.

The harsh winter in Liaodong is definitely not something Cao Jun's soldiers can bear.

According to Yuan's general Xian Yufu, after winter in Liaodong, the temperature is so low that dripping water can turn into ice.If you can't adapt to the special environment and climate in Liaodong, try not to start the war lightly and fight Goguryeo.Goguryeo people have lived here for a long time and are more familiar with the weather and environment of Liaodong.It is best to get acquainted with the climate here first, and then prepare to confront Goguryeo. This is the best policy.

In fact, conquering Liaodong has already achieved Cao Cao's goal.

Having Zhang Liao contain Goguryeo and ease the pressure on Lu's Han Kingdom can be regarded as the utmost benevolence.

Moreover, after entering Liao, Cao Jun experienced a large area of ​​acclimatization symptoms.Although he was prepared, Cao Cao had no choice but to change his mind in the face of this poor country.

The most important thing is that Guo Jia sent someone to bring a word.

"Is the prime minister ready to shoulder the responsibility of millions of people in Goguryeo?"

People often say that conquering the world is easy, but governing the world is difficult.

To govern the world, the first thing is to let the common people have enough food and clothing warmly... Goguryeo was originally a place of bitter cold, without proper arrangements, Cao Cao really did not dare to act rashly.Before, he stayed in Bingzhou and did not fight, but stormed Youzhou because of this issue of people's livelihood.It is easy to eliminate high-ranking cadres, but can they afford the food, clothing, housing and transportation of millions of people in Bingzhou?Cao Cao is not ready yet...

Since it is not suitable to attack Goguryeo now, we can only give up temporarily.

However, even so, Cao Cao still kept Zhang Liao, and appointed Cao Zhang as the general of Beizhong, guarding the west of Liao, pacifying Karasuma, and monitoring the movement of Xianbei at the same time.

Cao Zhang made great achievements in this expedition.

Not to mention other things, just talking about conquering Liucheng, he beheaded and killed Yuan Xi, which can be described as the first achievement.

It's just that Tian Chou, who was originally in charge of leading the way, died in the battle of Bailang Mountain, which made Cao Cao feel a pity.Originally, he planned to let Tian Chou stay in western Liaoning and assist Cao Zhang.But now, Tian Chou died on the battlefield.Fortunately, Cao Cao has a lot of capable men!Although one Tian Chou was lost, there was still Tian Yu from Yuyang... Cao Cao served as the lieutenant of Tian Yu Karasuma, and left the Yuan family as a general, with Qian Zhao and Xie Jun as assistants.Guo Jia suggested that a dock should be set up in Tashi, Liaodong County, to build boats and strengthen ties with Lu Han.

In October of the 12th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao boarded a ship in Dashi and left Liaodong.

On the way back, Cao Cao passed by Jieshi, so he abandoned the boat and climbed up, looking at the sea, full of pride.

"Looking at Jieshi in the east, you can see the sea. The water is so smooth, and the mountains and islands stand tall.

The trees are overgrown and the grass is lush.The autumn wind was bleak, Hong Bo surged.

The journey of the sun and the moon, if it goes out of it, the stars are brilliant, if it goes out of it.

Fortunately, even zai, the song to Yongzhi. "

After singing, Cao Cao felt extremely proud.

He turned around and laughed with Dian Wei who was watching with him, "Yuan Shao was in Hebei in the past, so you know Meng De is as happy as he is today?"

Think back then, how powerful Yuan Shao was.

But, can he think that one day, I will visit this place?
After finishing speaking, Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed.

However, Guo Jia, who was at the side, changed his face slightly, revealing a bitter smile...

Prime Minister, it seems a little carried away!
It's just that he knows when to say what kind of words.Although he knew that Cao Cao was full of ambition at this time, he couldn't speak to persuade him.

When there is a chance, let the prime minister know.

"By the way, how is the situation in Nanyang?"

Xiajieshi Mountain, Cao Cao embarked on the return journey.

He summoned Guo Jia and Xunyou to ask about the situation in Nanyang County.

Before that, Cao Cao was busy fighting, so he had no time to take care of Nanyang County.Now, he has swept across Youzhou and dominated Liaodong, so he has no worries about the future.

As for senior officials?

nothing to worry about...

"Nanyang County, it's good."

"Uh?"

"According to the news from Wen Ruo, Ah Fu has taken back Wancheng and fully occupied Nanyang County. However, Liu Biao recalled Liu Bei, but sent troops to Xinye, intending to fight Ah Fu decisively."

"Liu Biao, I don't know anything."

Cao Cao was furious when he heard this.

"Before, Liu Jingsheng had opposed me many times. I thought he was a member of the Han family, so I didn't care about him... But he didn't know how to advance or retreat. He really deserves to die. Feng Xiao, immediately send my order to let Cheng Yu dig a lake in Yecheng and perform Navy. You and I will return to Xudu immediately to discuss the crusade against Jingzhou."

Is war going to Jingzhou?
Guo Jia frowned upon hearing this...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +
That night, Cao Cao stayed overnight in Changli.

He entertained civil and military officials and held a banquet in Changli.

At the banquet, Cao Cao was full of passion and passion.

Just as he was exchanging glasses with everyone, suddenly a small school came to report: "Prime Minister, Xu Du is here."

"what?"

Cao Cao quickly stopped the drumming and ordered Xu Du's messenger to be summoned.

"Prime Minister, under the orders of Shangshu Xun, the official sent a report six hundred miles away: Ten days ago, Liu Biao died of illness in Jingzhou! Shangshu Xun asked the prime minister to return to Xudu as soon as possible."
