    Cao Cao's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes went straight into Guo Jia's eyes.

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

    "Although I dare not say that it is inevitable, I am sure of success. As for the basis for the official, it comes from the current development of the situation, and the situation in the north will be determined. Wen Bufan's expedition to merge the state, if there is no accident, the merger will be  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 available, so his 100,000 elite soldiers were defeated by Gongsun Zan's 20,000 troops.  Retreat. Later, Gongsun Zan took advantage of the situation and pursued Juyong City in three days. He captured Liu Yu and his wife and children alive and returned to Jixian. Later, Gongsun Zan framed Liu Yu and Yuan Shao for seeking the throne, and killed Liu Yu, his wife and children in Jishi.  .After Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu, he gained the entire Youzhou.

    Yuan Benchu¡¯s Jizhou is located in the center of the north, surrounded by Bingzhou, Youzhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou.  Gongsun Zan and Yuan Benchu ??were as close as fire and water. Although Wen Bufan and Yuan Benchu ??had no conflict now, Wen Bufan had been persecuted by him one after another in the past, and it was impossible to be on good terms with him.  The Lord and Wen Bufan are close friends known to the world.  Yuan Benchu ??had great ambitions and had such a huge power, so he would naturally be afraid that his lord and Wen Bufan would join forces to attack him.  Therefore, if Yuan Benchu ??did not take advantage of this moment, before Bingzhou fell into Wen Bufan's hands, and his lord had not yet captured Yanzhou, and took Qingzhou preemptively, he would definitely be unable to move forward in the future, and even with 200,000 troops, there would be no use for him.  "

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

    "So, Yuan Benchu ??is bound to win Qingzhou. If you don't know how to be filial, can you give me any clever ideas to stop Yuan Benchu?"

    Guo Jia shook his head slightly and said.

    "It is not appropriate for my lord to fall out with Yuan Benchu ??at this time. After all, Yuan Benchu ??has a lot of talents under his command and 200,000 soldiers. At this time, Yanzhou is still undecided, and if the lord wants to take Qingzhou by force, it will undoubtedly force Yuan Benchu ??to a dead end. Yuan Benchu ??will definitely fight back and fight with  My lord, both sides will suffer losses. In this way, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou will be advantaged in vain."

    "In this way, I can write a letter and send it to Wen Bufan. He and I will form an alliance to fight Yuan Benchu."

    "No. Bingzhou has not yet been decided. Even if Wen Bufan takes Bingzhou, the soldiers and horses are exhausted after repeated battles, and Bingzhou has been ravaged by wars for years. It is the time when everything needs to be prospered, and Wen Bufan has no spare time and strength.  The lord and the lord will fight against Yuan Benchu ??together. Moreover, even if Wen Bufan really forces the alliance with the lord, Yuan Benchu ??will try his best to form an alliance with Gongsun Zan.  The current strength of the army is undoubtedly overwhelming. And don¡¯t forget, Lord, there are 700,000 Black Mountain bandits in Yanzhou right now.¡±

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

    "Don't worry, my lord. In these troubled times, if there is not enough military protection and a large population to maintain, what is the use of having more territories? And the people of Qingzhou have almost all joined the Black Mountain bandits. All the Black Mountain bandits have  Such a huge number. As long as the lord is here in Yanzhou, half of the invading Black Mountain bandits will be gathered, and then the population will be taken from all counties in Qingzhou at lightning speed. Even if Yuan Benchu ??can get Qingzhou, he will only get a large area.  It¡¯s just an open space.¡±

    Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up, the original dark look was gone, and he even laughed.

    "Hahahahaha. If I hadn't been reminded by Fengxiao, I wouldn't have woken up yet. Okay! In this case, I will first follow Wenhe's plan and use the hands of the Black Mountain bandits to kill Liu Dai, an uneasy and kind-hearted old man, and then take all the money.  After the remaining troops are defeated, they will then fight against the Black Mountain bandits, then collect their surrender troops, and finally escort a large number of people back from Qingzhou! "

    With the advice of two geniuses, Jia Xu and Guo Jia, Cao Cao finally decided on the next movement of his forces.

    The development of the situation is just as planned by Cao Cao and others.  Ten days later, the gates of Changyi City were opened by spies arranged by Cao Cao. A large number of Black Mountain bandits rushed into Changyi City. Liu Dai was caught unawares and fled with his family in a hurry. However, the number of Black Mountain bandits was so terrifying that almost all areas of Changyi City were invaded.  They were all Black Mountain bandits. With the support of Yanzhou soldiers, Liu Dai's army was scattered by the Black Mountain bandits who came from all directions before they could escape from the city. Liu Dai and his family's Xiao Jin died at the hands of the Black Mountain bandits.  After Liu Dai died, the Yanzhou army was leaderless, and the remaining soldiers dispersed, throwing away their helmets and armor and fleeing everywhere.  The Black Mountain bandits killed them all the way, killing the 60,000 Yanzhou soldiers who had been defeated until blood flowed into rivers. The corpses of Yanzhou Bing were everywhere inside and outside Changyi City.  The number of Yanzhou soldiers who finally escaped was less than 30,000.

    At this moment, Cao Jun, who had already led his army to lurk thirty miles outside Changyi City, suddenly attacked Changyi City the next day, killing all the Black Mountain bandits who were chasing the remnants of Yanzhou's army.After being repulsed, Cao Cao collected more than 10,000 Yanzhou remnants. Later, Cao Cao defended the camp and did not attack for the time being. At the same time, he sent several scout teams to look for the Yanzhou remnants in the surrounding area.  The remnant soldiers of Yanzhou who fled to the surrounding areas either encountered the scouts sent by Cao Cao, or heard the news of Cao Cao's troops coming along the way, and rushed to Cao Cao's camp.  Five days later, Cao Cao captured all the remaining troops in Yanzhou, with his strength reaching nearly 90,000.

    Cao Cao has newly acquired a large army, so he must first reorganize and reorganize it.  During this period, the Black Mountain bandits made repeated attacks, but they were all repelled by Cao's army.  One time, Jia Xu came up with a plan to teach Cao Cao to lead his army to withdraw from the camp at night and place flammable objects on both sides of the camp. At the third watch, the Black Mountain bandits led their troops to attack the camp.

    When all the Black Mountain thieves entered the camp and saw that the camp was empty, they knew that they had been tricked. It was a time of great chaos.  Cao Cao's generals Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan shouted loudly on both sides of the camp and ordered the ambush sergeants to fire arrows together.  The burning arrows traveled through the night sky, like a huge meteor shower falling into the camp. There were countless flammable objects in the camp. Under the burning of countless rockets, the camp suddenly rose into flames.  Countless Black Mountain bandits were shot to death, burned to death, and pushed and trampled to death by their colleagues.  The nearly 50,000 Black Mountain bandits who attacked were almost killed. Later, when the Black Mountain bandits in Changyi City saw the fire in the distance, burning the night into day, the Black Mountain bandit generals in the city immediately sent out another 50,000 troops to rescue them.  Unexpectedly, they were ambushed halfway by Dian Wei and Cao Ren. The Black Mountain bandits who came to rescue were frightened again and again, and they suddenly became chaotic. Dian Wei and Cao Ren led the troops from left to right and rushed into the crowd of Black Mountain bandits, killing them one by one.  All of them are blood-red flying flesh.

    Later, Cao Cao came with his army and charged with Dian Wei and Cao Ren until dawn. Most of the Black Mountain bandits who came to rescue were dead, and the rest fled back to Changyi City.  Cao Cao saw that the soldiers had been fighting all night but did not pursue them. He immediately ordered his generals to lead all the troops back to the stronghold.

    In this battle, nearly 80,000 Black Mountain bandits died, and Cao Cao's reputation once again hit the hearts of every Black Mountain bandit.  Since then, the Black Mountain bandits in Changyi City did not dare to attack rashly, and their morale plummeted.  Some Black Mountain bandit generals even thought that Cao Cao was a god in his military skills, and they were invincible in fear of Cao Cao. After some discussion, they actually decided to lead their men to surrender to Cao Cao in order to save their lives.

    A few days later, Cao Cao received a secret letter from these Black Mountain bandit generals, and he was immediately overjoyed.

    "Angel, I will win Changyi!"

    Later, Cao Cao rewarded those who came, and at the same time summoned his subordinates Wen Wu. After discussing with Jia Xu, Guo Jia and other counselors, he decided that as promised in the letter, three nights later, the Black Mountain bandits who had surrendered in the city would act as internal agents and lead his subordinates.  The army attacked Changyi City.

    On the appointed day, Cao Cao divided his army into three armies and came to Changyi City.  Cao Cao went to take a look first and saw flags and banners erected all over the city. On the corner of the west gate, there was a white flag with the word "righteousness". He was secretly happy, thinking that it was done.

    It was the noon sign, the city gate opened, and two Montenegrin generals led the army to fight.  Cao Cao was not in a hurry but was overjoyed. Even if Dian Wei and Xiahou Dun came out, Dian Wei galloped towards the general on the left, while Xiahou Dun slapped his horse with his spear and faced the general on the right.  Dian Wei roared fiercely, the sound was like thunder, and before anyone arrived, he was so frightened that the Black Mountain general on the opposite side almost fell off his horse.  When Dian Wei rushed over, he raised his halberd and stabbed him to death with one blow.  As for the other side, Xiahou Dun faced the general on the right, and stabbed him with a spear. The shadow of the spear was like fire and thunder. Before the Black Mountain general could draw his spear, Xiahou Dun shot him through the head.  Both Black Mountain bandit generals were dead, and their sergeants immediately dispersed and turned around to look into the city to escape.  Dian Wei and Xiahou Dun rushed to the suspension bridge. After killing for a while, they were so brave that they killed hundreds of Black Mountain bandits.

    At this moment, several Black Mountain bandits took advantage of the situation and sneaked through the formation to see Cao Cao. They said they were the confidants of the surrendered general and presented a secret letter.

    Shu Yun: "At the first watch tonight, the gongs on the city will be sounded as a signal, and then the troops can advance. I and a few others have also made arrangements. At that time, I and a few others will guard the gates on the three sides of the city. Cao Gong will attack on time.  , I will lead the army and present the gates on the south, south, north and south sides.¡±

    After seeing this, Cao Cao smiled even more. He sent Xiahou Dun to lead the army to the east, Cao Ren to lead the army to the south, and himself led four generals, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, Yue Jin and Dian Wei, to lead the troops at the north gate.

    It was about the first watch of the morning, the moonlight had not yet risen, and the night was not yet dark.  I could only hear the sound of shells blowing on the three gates in the north, south, east, and west, shouts suddenly arose, torches were burning on the gates, the city gates were wide open, and the suspension bridge was lowered.

    When Cao Cao saw that the traitor had dedicated the city as promised, he immediately rushed in first.  Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, Le Jin, and Dian Wei quickly followed behind Cao Cao. At the same time, on both sides of the southeast, Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren also led their troops into the city.

    When the three armies of Cao's army reached the city, the Black Mountain bandit defenders on the southeast and north cities suddenly counterattacked and killed the Black Mountain bandits who were rushing towards the city gate. The Black Mountain bandits suddenly panicked when they saw that their former comrades actually swung their cutting blades at them.  At this time, the three armies of Cao's army came from behind and rushed towards the Black Mountain bandits. The Black Mountain bandits were numerous and chaotic.It was impossible to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, and the chaos was as if the nest had exploded.  As several generals of the Black Mountain bandits were killed by Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, and Dian Wei who bravely rushed into the enemy's formation, some of the Black Mountain bandits could no longer bear the fear in their hearts and actually fled towards the west gate.

    As some of the Black Mountain bandits fled, it was like a plague spreading, and one after another Black Mountain bandit troops fled towards the west gate desperately.  Cao Cao's three armies were gathered together, and the surrendered Black Mountain bandits all had white belts tied on their left arms. Cao Cao's troops knew this in advance and were able to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, so they did not kill anyone by mistake.

    Afterwards, Cao Cao led his army to the west gate to cover up the killing, and the screams of the Black Mountain bandits were heard like a heavy downpour.  After fighting for three hours, about 500,000 Black Mountain bandits were able to successfully escape from the city. The remaining 600,000 to 70,000 bandits were all surrounded and killed by Cao's army.

    Cao Cao saw that this was a good time to subdue these Black Mountain bandits, so he hurriedly shouted loudly.

    "If you don't want to die, put down your weapons, I won't kill anyone who surrenders!!"

    As soon as Cao Cao drank, the surrounding Cao troops raised their weapons and shouted in unison.

    "If you don't want to die, put down your weapons, I won't kill anyone who surrenders!!"

    These 60,000 to 70,000 thieves have long lost their will to fight. Now they are surrounded and killed, and their morale is completely gone.  Soon, there was a sound of soldiers falling to the ground, and six to seventy thousand Black Mountain bandits knelt down and surrendered.

    By now, Cao Cao had captured the city of Changyi, and the number of surrendered Black Mountain bandits was approximately 80,000, and his military strength increased sharply.  Excluding the 10,000 people who died in successive battles with the Black Mountain bandits, the number of troops reached 160,000.
