Yuan Shao had sent troops to Guandu. Xiahou Dun sent a letter to the emperor. Cao Cao mobilized 70,000 troops to meet the enemy, leaving Xun Yu to guard Xu.

All. When Yuan Shao's army was about to set out, Tian Feng wrote a letter from prison to remonstrate: "Now, we should wait for the weather to come. We can't rashly send a large army. I'm afraid there will be no one."

It's profitable." "My lord," said Feng Ji,"you have raised a benevolent army. How can Tian Feng speak such ominous words?”Yuan Shao was furious and wanted to kill Tian Feng. all the officials

He was dismissed. "When I have defeated Cao Cao," said Yuan Shao bitterly,"I will punish him.”So he urged the army to march forward. Flags were everywhere and swords were everywhere. Walking to Yang

On the 15th, the camp was captured. "Our army, though numerous, is not as brave as theirs," said Ju Shou. Although the enemy's army is elite, its food and fodder are not as good as ours. the enemy

Without food, it is advantageous to fight quickly. Our army has food and should hold on for the time being. If we can delay for a long time, the enemy will be defeated without fighting.”Yuan Shao said angrily:

"Tian Feng has underestimated my morale. I will definitely kill him when I return. How dare you do this again!" He shouted at his attendants,"Lock the corpse in the Imperial Guard and wait for me to defeat Cao Cao."

After that, he will be punished together with Tian Feng!" So he ordered his army of 700,000 to camp in the east, west, north and south, with a total of more than 90 people.

Li.

The spy investigated the actual situation and reported to Guandu. Cao Cao's army had just arrived and was afraid when they heard the news. Cao Cao discussed with his advisors. Xun You said,"Shao Jun

Even if there are many, there is nothing to fear. Our army is full of elite soldiers, all of whom can fight against ten. But the advantage lies in the urgent battle. If we delay, we will not have enough food and grass.

Things are worrying." "What you say is exactly what I want," said Cao Cao. So he ordered his generals to march forward with drums and shouts. Yuan Shao's army came to meet him and lined up on both sides.

Shen Pei sent 10,000 crossbowmen to ambush on both sides. 5,000 archers were hiding behind the gate flag. The cannons were fired. Three drums stopped, Yuan Shao's golden helmet

Golden armor, brocade robe, and jade belt, they immediately stood in front of the formation. Zhang He, Gao Lan, Han Meng, Chunyu Qiong and the other generals were lined up on the left and right. Banners and axes, very

It's strict. Cao Cao's array was set up at the gate where the flag was opened. Cao Cao went out. Xu Zhu, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Li Dian, etc. each held a weapon and surrounded the front and back.

Cao Cao pointed his whip at Yuan Shao and said,"Before the Son of Heaven, I had guaranteed you the position of General. Why are you rebelling now?”Yuan Shao said angrily,"You're using your name.

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty is indeed a traitor of the Han Dynasty! His sins are so great that they are even greater than those of Wang Mang and Dong Zhuo. How can he falsely accuse others of rebellion?”"I have received an edict to attack you," said Cao Cao.

"I have been ordered to attack the rebels," said Yuan Shao.”Cao Cao was furious and sent Zhang Liao to fight. Zhang Tai galloped to meet him. The two generals fought for 40 to 50 rounds, but they didn't get a clear answer.

Victory and defeat. When Cao Cao saw this, he was secretly amazed. Xu Chu brandished his sword and rode straight out to help. Gao Lan raised his spear and caught it. The four will catch a pair of boys

Kill. Cao Cao ordered Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong to lead 3,000 troops each to attack the enemy's formation. When Shen Pei saw Cao Cao's army charge into the formation, he ordered the cannon to be fired. two

With tens of thousands of crossbows, the archers of the Central Army rushed out of the formation to shoot randomly. How could Cao Cao's army resist the enemy? He fled south. Yuan Shao led his troops to attack,

Cao Cao's army was defeated and retreated to Guandu. Yuan Shao moved his army closer to Guandu's camp. Shen Pei said,"You can send a hundred thousand men to guard Guandu and go to Cao Cao.

In front of the stockade, an earth mountain was built and the soldiers were ordered to shoot arrows from the stockade. If Cao Cao abandoned this place and left, I would get this pass and Xuchang would be broken.”Shao from the

Therefore, he selected strong soldiers from each camp, carried them with shovels and earth, and gathered them to the edge of Cao Cao's camp to build a mountain of earth. In Cao Cao's camp, I saw Yuan's army piling up earth

The mountain wanted to go out to fight, but Shen Pei's archers blocked the throat and could not move forward. In ten days, more than fifty earth mountains were built.

The archers set up high oars on the seats, and the archers set up archers on the oars to shoot arrows. Cao Cao's army was terrified and defended with their shields. A clap on the earth mountain

The arrows fell like rain. Cao Cao's army covered their shields and fell to the ground. Yuan Shao's army shouted and laughed.

Cao Cao saw that the army was in a panic and summoned his advisors to ask for advice. Liu Ye said,"We can make a stone cart to break them.”Cao Cao ordered Fan Ye to present the model of the chariot.

The car and the cannon stones flew into the air and fired wildly. There was nowhere to hide, and countless archers died. Yuan's army called his chariot "Thunderbolt Chariot". therefore

Yuan Shao's army did not dare to shoot from a high place. Shen Pei offered another plan: He ordered the soldiers to dig a tunnel with shovels into Cao Cao's camp, which was called "Dig

Army." Cao Cao's soldiers saw Yuan Shao's army digging a pit behind the mountain and reported it to Cao Cao. Cao Cao asked Liu Ye for advice. "Yuan's army cannot attack Ming," said Fan Ye.

And attack the dark, dig the hidden road, want to penetrate the camp from the ground into the ear.”"How can we resist them?" asked Cao Cao. Fan Ye said,"We can go around the camp and dig out the long ones.

It is useless for them to fall into the ditch." Cao Cao sent troops to dig trenches that night. Yuan Shao's army dug an ambush to the edge of the trench, but as expected, they could not enter, wasting their troops in vain.

Cao Cao had been guarding Guandu from August to September, but his army was getting weaker and weaker, and his food and fodder were running out. I want to abandon Guandu and return to Xuchang,

After hesitating, he wrote a letter and sent someone to Xuchang to ask Xun Yu. Xun Yu told him about it. "I have received your orders," said the letter,"to make a decision on whether to advance or retreat. Yu

Because Yuan Shao has gathered all his troops in Guandu to fight with you, you are weak and should be strong. If you can't subdue him, you will be taken advantage of by him. Is the world's

It's a big machine. Although Yuan Shao's army is large, it cannot be used. With your wisdom and wisdom, where can you not succeed? Although the army is small, it is not as strong as Chu and Han.

It is between Xingyang and Chenggao. You are now drawing a line on the ground to defend, strangling the enemy's throat so that they can not advance, the situation is exhausted, there will be changes. This is a time of wonder,

It must not be lost. I hope you will judge." Cao Cao was very happy to receive the letter and ordered his soldiers to defend the city.

Yuan Shao's army retreated about thirty miles, and Cao Cao sent generals out of the camp to patrol. One of Xu Huang's generals, Shi Huan, captured Yuan's spy and went to see Xu Huang. Huang asked.

The actual situation of the army. "Sooner or later, General Han Meng will send rations to the front of the army to help them. He will first send us to scout the way.”Xu Huang reported the matter to him.

Cao Cao. Xun You said,"Han Meng is just a man of courage. If you send a man with thousands of light cavalry to attack them halfway and cut off their food and grass, Yuan Shao's army will naturally attack.

Chaos." "Who can go?" asked Cao Cao. "You may send Xu Huang," said Shen You. Cao Cao then sent Xu Huang to lead Shi Huan and his troops to take the lead.

After leaving the city, the queen sent Zhang Liao and Xu Chu to lead troops to rescue. That night Han Meng escorted thousands of grain carts to Yuan Shao's camp. As he walked, the valley slowly turned dark.

Shi Huang and Shi Huan led their troops to block the way. Han Meng flew his horse to fight, and Xu Huang caught it and killed it. Shi Huan killed the scattered people and set fire to the grain cart.

Han Meng couldn't resist and turned his horse back. Xu Huang urged the army to burn down the baggage. In Yuan Shao's army, he saw a fire rising in the northwest. Just as he was bewildered, he was defeated.

"The rations have been robbed!" Yuan Shao hurriedly sent Zhang Tai and Gao Lan to intercept the main road. Just then, he met Xu Huang burning food and returning. Just as he was about to fight with him, he saw Xu Huang behind him.

Zhang Liao and Xu's troops arrived. The two sides attacked, killed and scattered Yuan's army, and the four generals joined forces and returned to Guandu Stronghold. Cao Cao was overjoyed and rewarded him heavily.

Thank you. He also divided his troops and camped in front of the stockade, forming a corner.

Han Meng was defeated and returned to camp. Yuan Shao was furious and wanted to kill Han Meng. The officials advised him to avoid death. Shen Pei said,"Food is the most important thing in marching.

He didn't put his guard up. Wuchao is a place to store food and must be heavily guarded.”"I have already decided," said Yuan Shao. You can go back to Yedu to supervise

I don't have enough rations." Shen Pei accepted the order and left. Yuan Shao sent Chunyu Qiong, the general, and Sui Yuanjin, Han Juzi, and Lu Wei, the governor of his department.

Huang, Zhao Rui and others led 20,000 troops to guard Wuchao. Chunyu Qiong's temperament is good at drinking, and most of the soldiers are afraid of him. When I arrived at Wuchao, I spent the whole day with you.

Let's drink together. Now that Cao Cao's army had run out of food, he immediately sent an envoy to Xuchang to instruct Xun Yu to prepare food and grass as soon as possible. He took off his clothes and went to the front of the army to help. Messenger

He took the letter and went. He had not traveled more than thirty miles when he was caught by Yuan's army and tied up to Xu You, a counselor. Xu You, also known as Ziyuan, once worked with Cao Cao when he was young.

He was a friend, but now he was working for Yuan Shao as a counselor. He found the messenger's letter from Cao Cao demanding food and went straight to Yuan Shao."Cao Cao is a military officer

Crossing the Yellow River, you have been at a stalemate with us for a long time. Xuchang must be empty. If we divide our forces and attack Xuchang overnight, Xuchang can be captured and Cao Cao can be captured. now Cao Cao

Their rations were all used up, so they could use this opportunity to attack them from two sides.”"Cao Cao is full of tricks," said Yuan Shao."This book is a trick to lure the enemy.”Yau

"If you don't take it now, you'll suffer later.”Just talking, suddenly a messenger from Ye County came, presented the letter of examination. The book first talks about luck

Later, it was said that when Xu You was in Jizhou, he had accepted folk property indiscriminately, and even let his sons and nephews collect more taxes, so that the money and grain went into his own hands. Now he had taken his son back.

My nephew is in prison. Yuan Shao was furious when he saw the letter."You are a common man! Do you still have the face to offer advice to me? You and Cao Cao are old friends. I think you'll accept it now.

He bribed me with money, and I became a spy for him, and I stole my army! I should have been beheaded, but now I have to put my head on my neck for the time being! You can withdraw quickly and not be prime minister in the future.

See you!" Xu You went out and looked up to the sky, sighing, saying,"Good advice is unpleasant to the ear. My son and nephew have been harmed by Shen Pei. How can I face them again?

He's from Jizhou!" He wanted to draw his sword and commit suicide. The attendants seized their swords and advised him,"Why did you commit suicide? Yuan Shao kept speaking bluntly, and he would certainly become Cao Cao in the future.

Cao Cao captured him. Since you are old friends with Cao Cao, why don't you abandon the dark and join the light?”These two sentences reminded Xu You. So Xu You went straight to Cao Cao

Fuck. Later, a poem lamented,"At first, the heroic spirit covered the whole of China, and the stalemate at Guandu was in vain." If Xu You's plan is adopted, the mountains and rivers will belong to Cao Cao.

Home?"

Xu You secretly left the camp and went straight to Cao Cao's camp, where he was captured by soldiers lying in ambush. "I am an old friend of Prime Minister Cao," said You."Come and talk to me quickly.

Tell him that Xu You of Nanyang has come to see him." The soldiers quickly reported that they had entered the camp. At that time, Cao Cao was taking off his clothes and resting. When he heard that Xu You had eloped to the camp, he was very happy.

When he put on his shoes and went out barefoot to meet him, he saw Xu You from a distance. He clapped his hands and laughed. They went in hand in hand. Cao Cao bowed to the ground first. You hastily helped him up, saying,"You are a Han.

Prime Minister, I am a commoner, why so humble?”"You are an old friend of mine," said Cao Cao."How dare you compare your rank with mine?”"I," said Shen You.

I can't choose a monarch, so I have to bow down to Yuan Shao. I don't listen to his words and don't listen to his plans. Now I have abandoned him and come to see my old friend. I'm willing to accept it." Cao Cao said,"You are willing

Come, I'm done! Please teach me how to defeat Shao."I once taught Yuan Shao to take advantage of the weakness to attack the capital with light cavalry.

Attack." "If Yuan Shao takes your advice," said Cao Cao,"I will fail.”"How much provisions do you have now?" asked Shen You.”Cao Cao said:

"It can last for a year." "I'm afraid not," said Shen You with a smile. Cao Cao replied,"It's only been half a year." Shen You flicked his sleeves and rose to his feet. He hurried out of the tent and said,"I

With sincerity congenial, but you are deceived like this, is it what I hope!”Cao Cao urged him to stay, saying,"Ziyuan, do not be angry. The military grain is really good

It's only three months." "Everyone says that Meng De is a wicked man," said You with a smile.”Cao Cao laughed and said,"I've heard that you never get tired of fighting.

Trick!" Then he whispered in his ear,"The army will have this month's rations.”"Don't hide it from me," said Shen You loudly. We've run out of food!" Stunned

"How do you know?" asked the man. Shen You took out the letter Cao Cao had written to Xun Yu and showed it to him."Who wrote this book?" Cao Cao was surprised and asked,"Where?"

Get it?" Shen You told him about the mission. Cao Cao took his hand and said,"Since you have come to me on the basis of old friendship, I hope you will teach me something.”Shen You said:

"Ming Gong is fighting against the enemy alone and not seeking a quick victory. This is the path to death. You have a plan. In less than three days, Yuan Shao will send a million troops.

The army was defeated without fighting. Will you still listen?" "I'd like to hear a good plan," said Cao Cao. "Yuan Shao's provisions and baggage have all been stored up," said You.

Wuchao County, now transferred Chunyu Qiong to guard, Chunyu Qiong likes to drink, unprepared. You can choose a good soldier and pretend that Jiang Qi, the general of Yuan Dynasty, has led his troops to the other side to protect the grain. You can take advantage of the opportunity to burn the grain.

If the military supplies were laid out, Yuan Shao's army would be in chaos in less than three days.”Cao Cao was very happy and treated Xu You very well and left him in the frontier fortress. The next day, Cao Cao chose his own cavalry and infantry.

5,000, ready to go to Wuchao for food. Zhang Liao said,"How can Yuan Shao's grain depot be unprepared? Prime Minister, you can't go there easily. I'm afraid Xu Youyou will come.

Deception." "No," said Cao Cao."If Xu You comes, Heaven will defeat Yuan Shao. Now our army is short of food, and it is difficult to maintain it for a long time. If we don't use Xu You's plan,

This is to sit and wait for trouble. If they are cheating, how can they stay in our camp? Besides, I've wanted to rob the village for a long time. Now the plan of robbing food is to carry it out.

Please don't doubt it." "We must also guard against Yuan Shao's attack," said Zhang Liao.”Cao Cao smiled and said,"I have already made plans.”He taught Xun You and Jia

Xu Xu and Cao Hong guarded the camp with Xu You. Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan led an army to lie in ambush on the left, while Cao Ren and Li Dian led an army to lie in ambush on the right.

Yu. He ordered Zhang Liao and Xu Chu to lead the way, Xu Huang and Yu Jin to follow behind, and Cao Cao himself to lead his generals in the middle. A total of 5,000 men, under the banner of Yuan's army,

The soldiers tied up the grass and carried the firewood on their backs. Each of them held a medal in his mouth and reined his horse's mouth. At dusk, he looked forward to Wuchao's march. It was a starry night. Let's talk about the Yuan Dynasty

Yuan Shao was detained in the army. That night, he saw many stars shining brightly, so he ordered the guards to lead him out of the courtyard and look up at the sky. Suddenly I saw Venus moving backward and encroaching

When the ox and the bucket were separated, he was greatly alarmed and said,"Disaster is coming!”So he asked to see Yuan Shao that very night. At that time, Yuan Shao was already drunk and lying on the bed. He heard that Wang Shou had a secret message.

After the report, the emperor called him in and asked him. Shou said,"I was just observing the celestial phenomena. I saw Venus moving in reverse between the willow tree and the ghost tree. The stream of light shot into the dividing line between Niu and Dou. I am afraid there is

The scourge of looting by rebel soldiers. Wuchao is a place where grain is stored, and it is necessary to be prepared. We should quickly send elite soldiers and fierce generals to patrol the mountain roads and avoid being Cao Cao.

It's calculated." "You are the one who has offended us," said Yuan Shao angrily."How dare you deceive us with your lies?”And he rebuked the warden, saying,"I have ordered you to detain him.

How dare you release it!" So he ordered the prison to be beheaded, and another man to be put in custody. He took it out, covered his tears, and sighed, saying,"Our army is at death's door, and I do not know where my corpse is.

Where did I fall?" Later generations wrote a poem lamenting,"Unpleasing to the ear, honest advice is met with hatred. Yuan Shao, the solitary man, has little wit. Wuchao's food has been exhausted, and its foundation has been uprooted.

Just guard Jizhou." Cao Cao led his army on a night journey and passed by Yuan Shao's camp. The soldiers of the camp asked him where he was. Cao Cao sent someone to reply,"Jiang

I was ordered to go to Wuchao to protect the grain." Yuan Jun saw that it was his own flag, so he did not doubt it. They passed through several places, all pretending to be Jiang Qi's soldiers, and there was no obstruction.

Obstructed. By the time they reached Wuchao, it was already the fourth watch. Cao Cao ordered the soldiers to light fires around the grass, and the generals shouted and rushed in. At that time, Chunyu Qiongfang and the generals

After drinking, he was drunk in his tent. Hearing the noise, he quickly jumped up and asked,"Why is it so noisy?" Before he could finish speaking, he had already been dragged over by the hook. sui

Yuan Jin and Zhao Rui had just returned from transporting grain. When they saw the fire in the camp, they rushed to the rescue. Cao Cao's army flew to report to Cao Cao, saying,"The rebels are behind us. Please divide your forces and resist.

Yes." Cao Cao shouted,"All the generals, concentrate on advancing. When the enemy is behind us, we can turn back and fight.”So all the generals rushed to cover up

Kill. In an instant, flames rose in all directions and smoke filled the space. Sui and Zhao led their troops to the rescue, and Cao Cao reined in his horse to fight. The two generals couldn't resist the enemy.

He was killed by Cao Cao's army and all his food and grass were burned. Chunyu Qiong was captured and brought to Cao Cao. Cao Cao ordered his ears, nose, and fingers to be cut off, tied to a horse, and released to Yuan Shao's camp.

To humiliate him.

Yuan Shao, who was in his tent, heard the news that the sky was full of flames due north. He knew that Wuchao had fallen, so he hurried out of his tent to summon all the civil and military officials to discuss the dispatch of troops.

Go to the rescue. "I will go with Gao Lan to rescue him," said Zhang He.”"No," said Guo Tu. Cao Cao's army plundered food, Cao Cao must go in person; Cao Ji

If you go out, the camp will be empty. You can send troops to attack Cao Cao's camp first. When Cao Cao heard this, he must return quickly. This is Sun Bin's plan to surround Wei and save Zhao.”Zhang He

"No. Cao Cao was resourceful and resourceful. When he went out, he must make preparations for the internal defense to prevent accidents. Now if we attack Cao Cao's camp and fail to capture it, and Qiu Qiong and others are captured, we will all be killed.

He was captured." "Cao Cao is only concerned with robbing food," said Guo Tu."How can he leave his troops in the camp?”He repeatedly asked to rob Cao Cao's camp. Yuan Shao sent Zhang He and Gao Lan

He put on armor and flags and pretended to be Chunyu Qiong's subordinates. He withdrew his troops and returned to the camp. When he reached a remote path in the mountains, he met Jiang Qi's army. Qi Jun asked him, saying that Wuchao was defeated.

The army fled back, and Yuan Qi did not suspect anything and rode straight through. Zhang Liao and Xu Chu suddenly arrived and shouted,"Jiang Qi, don't run!”Strange was caught off guard and was caught off guard.

Zhang Liao was killed under his horse and all of Jiang Qi's soldiers were killed. Then he sent a false report saying,"Jiang Qi has committed suicide and dispersed the Wuchao soldiers." Yuan Shao did not return.

Send people to meet Wuchao, only add troops to Guandu.

Meanwhile, Zhang He and Gao Lan were attacking Cao Cao's camp. Xiahou Dun on the left, Cao Ren on the right, and Cao Hong in the middle rushed out together. Three attacks.

Yuan's army was defeated. When the reinforcements arrived, Cao Cao attacked from behind and surrounded them. Zhang Tai and Gao Lan fled. Yuan Shao

He collected the defeated soldiers and horses of Wuchao and returned to the camp. He saw Chunyu Qiong's ears and nose were gone, and his hands and feet were all gone. "How did you lose the nest?" asked Yuan Shao. A Defeat Report

He said,"Chunyu Qiong is drunk, so he cannot resist the enemy."”Yuan Shao was furious and immediately beheaded him. Guo Tu was afraid that Zhang Tai and Gao Lan would return to the camp to prove right and wrong.

He went to Yuan Shao and said,"Zhang Tai and Gao Lan will be glad to see your defeat.”"Why do you say that?" asked Yuan Shao. The picture says,"Two

People have always wanted to surrender to Cao Cao, but now they are sent to attack the camp. They deliberately refuse to use force, so that the soldiers are injured.”Yuan Shao was furious and sent messengers to summon the two men back.

The stockade asked for punishment. Guo Tu sent a messenger to tell the two men,"The lord is going to kill you.”When Yuan Shao's messenger arrived, Gao Lan asked,"The Lord has called us to

What?" "I do not know why," said the messenger. Wang Lan then drew his sword and killed the messenger. Tai was shocked. "Yuan Shao listened to calumny," said Lan."He will certainly become Cao Cao.

Cao Cao captured him. How can we sit here and wait for death? Why don't you join Cao Cao?" "I've been thinking about this for a long time," said Tai Tai.”

The two of them led their troops to surrender to Cao Cao. Xiahou Dun said,"Zhang and Gao have come to surrender. I don't know whether they are true or not.”

Cao Cao said,"I have treated him with kindness. Although he has a different heart, he can change it.”So he opened the camp gate and let the two men in. The two men took off their weapons and armor and bowed to the ground.

On the ground. Cao Cao said,"If Yuan Shao had listened to the two generals, he would not have been defeated. Now the two generals are willing to come to the same side, just as Wei Zi left Yin and Han Xin.

Return to the Han Dynasty." Therefore, Zhang Tai was granted the title of partial general and Marquis of Duting, and Gao Lan was granted the title of partial general and Marquis of Donglai. The two of them were overjoyed.

Now that Yuan Shao had left Xu You, Zhang Tai and Gao Lan, and lost the grain of Wuchao, the morale of the army was very high. Xu You advised Cao to operate again

Zhang Tai and Gao Lan requested to be the vanguard. Cao Cao listened. He ordered Zhang Tai and Gao Lan to lead troops to rob Yuan Shao's camp. In the middle of the night

The army attacked the camp three times. At dawn, Yuan Shao's army was defeated by more than half.

Xun You suggested,"Now we can say that we will send troops to attack Ye County. All the way to Liyang, cut off the retreat of Yuan army.

When Yuan Shao heard this, he would panic and divide his forces to resist the enemy. I'll take advantage of the opportunity to attack them, and Yuan Shao can be defeated.”Cao Cao adopted his plan and sent three men, big and small, to attack.

The army marched far away. When Yuan Shao's army heard this, they came to the camp and reported: " Cao Cao split his forces into two groups: one to take Ye County, the other to take Liyang.

Yes." Yuan Shao was shocked and quickly sent Yuan Tan with 50,000 troops to rescue Ye County, and Xin Ming with 50,000 troops to rescue Liyang. They set out overnight.

Cao Cao knew that Yuan Shao's army was moving, so he divided his army into eight groups and rushed straight into Yuan Shao's camp. Yuan's army had lost all will to fight and fled in all directions.

So they were defeated. Yuan Shao put on his armor and rode on his horse, wearing a single robe and a turban. His youngest son Yuan Shang followed him. Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Xu Huang, and Yu Jin led the army.

He led his army to pursue Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao hurried across the Yellow River, abandoned all his books, chariots, weapons, gold and silk, and left with only more than 800 cavalry. Cao Cao's army couldn't catch up with them.

Get what's left behind. More than 80,000 people were killed, blood flowed into the ditch, and countless people drowned.

Cao Cao won a total victory and gave the gold, silver and satin he had obtained to the soldiers. He took out a bundle of letters from the book, all of which were given to Xu Du and the army.

He inherited the book of secret communication. "You can count their names one by one and kill them," said the attendants.”Cao Cao said,"When Shao is so strong, I cannot help myself.

What about others?" So he ordered them all to be burned, and no longer asked.

Yuan Shao was defeated and fled. As a result of his imprisonment, he was captured by Cao Cao's army. Cao Su and Shou Xiang

Know. When Cao Shou saw Cao Cao, he shouted,"I will not surrender!”Cao Cao said,"I had no plan at first, and did not listen to your advice. Why do you persist in your error? Wuruo

If I get you early, the world will be nothing to worry about.”So he treated him well and left him in the army. Zhang Shou then stole horses from the camp and wanted to return them to the Yuan family. Cao Cao was furious.

Kill him. Shou's expression did not change until he died. Cao Cao sighed and said,"I killed a loyal man by mistake.”He ordered the funeral to be carried out with generous gifts and buried in the Yellow River.

At the ferry, the inscription on his tomb read: "The tomb of the loyal Ju Jun."”Later, there was a poem praising him, saying,"Many famous people in Hopei are loyal to the monarch. Gazing, I know

In the battle array, he looked up to understand the astronomical phenomena, and his heart was as hard as iron. In the face of danger, his spirit was like a cloud. Cao Cao respected his loyalty and built a tomb for him.”Cao Cao ordered the attack on Hebei

State. Indeed: The weak are only defeated by more schemes, but the strong are defeated by less schemes. I don't know what the outcome is. Let's see how it will be broken down below.
