    "Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou, even though he has great momentum, remains stubborn. He is just a chatterer. He knows that his talents are not enough to control Liu Bei. He may not be able to control Liu Bei if he has a heavy responsibility. If he has a light responsibility, he will not be able to use him. The two of them are like this. Although my lord  There is no need to worry about an expedition in a virtual country."

    Guo Jia¡¯s eyes twinkled. After hearing this, Cao Cao immediately nodded and responded.

    "What Fengxiao said is that Liu Jingsheng is powerful, but he is just a mediocre person, and Liu Xuande is poor, but secretly has great ambitions. This time Liu Jingsheng included Liu Xuande, and sooner or later he will raise a tiger for trouble. Although the two of them are harmonious on the surface, they secretly have their own agendas.  "cause trouble"

    At this time, Cao Ren¡¯s expression changed again, and he suddenly admonished

    "Hearing about the drastic changes in Xiliang, Wen Bufan defeated Ma Meng's 150,000-strong army, and Liangzhou was already in his possession. Wen Bufan is a hero in this world, and he has always acted erratically. It is hard to predict that if he takes advantage of my army to travel far away, he will go to the east of the river.  , Bingzhou sent troops to attack Luoyang, so Luoyang is in danger."

    When Cao Cao heard Cao Ren mention Wen Han, his eyes suddenly burst into bright light and he laughed loudly.

    "Hahahaha, Zixiao, don't worry too much. Wen Bufan and I know each other well. If the war between Cao and Wen breaks out, there will be no retreat. In recent years, Wen Bufan has first conquered Yongzhou. Now Liangzhou is not at peace. How dare he act rashly at this time?"  And move?¡±

    "My lord, are you really so sure?"

    "Although it's not 100%, there is still something. Wen Bufan is cautious by nature, and he also knows my abilities. He and I are wary of each other. There is no chance of victory. Neither he nor I can advance easily."

    Cao Cao had finished speaking, and Cao Ren and other generals said no more. Cao Cao then led the three armies, large and small, with thousands of chariots, swaying and moving in a mighty manner. Looking forward, he saw a yellow mist in the distance, a yellow desert, and strong winds.  The road was rugged, it was difficult for men and horses to move, the army was advancing slowly, and many soldiers complained. Cao Cao couldn't help but want to return to the army, and asked Guo Jia

    At this time, Guo Jia was not lying in water and soil, and he often dreamed that the people in Nanpi were crying and complaining, restless in sleeping and eating, and lying in the sick car. Guo Jia was afraid that Cao Cao would be worried about it, so he acted harshly and kept the matter secret. When Cao Cao came to look for him, he saw Guo Jia's face turned pale.  His body became extremely thin and he was shocked. He wanted to punish Guo Jia's followers severely, but Guo Jia persuaded him and the followers were acquitted.

    Cao Cao's advisers are all highly talented, resourceful and wise, but Guo Jia is the only one who understands Cao Cao's heart best and agrees with Cao Cao in everything. Cao Cao likes Guo Jia the most and even regards him as his subordinate.  Zhang Liang', relied heavily on him. At this time, Cao Cao saw that Guo Jia was seriously ill. He was anxious. This man, who was called a peerless traitor by the world, couldn't help but burst into tears.

    "It's all because I want to flatten the desert and make my father-in-law go through hardships and even get sick. How can I feel at ease? My relationship with Fengxiao is like a fish in water. If a fish leaves the water, it will die. Filial piety must not be missing at all, otherwise my hegemony will be difficult to save.

    "The matter in the desert will be put aside for now. I will take Fengxiao back to Luoyang to recuperate. I will invite famous doctors from all over the world for you. I will not make any plans until you recover from your illness."

    As soon as Cao Cao said this, the surrounding officers and advisers all changed their expressions. Some were amazed that Cao Cao, who had always been ruthless, would give up the immediate benefits for Guo Jia. Some were jealous of Guo Jia, and some wanted to dissuade Cao Cao.  Never give up on the overall situation just because one person is ill.

    Just when everyone was thinking about it, Guo Jia, supported by his entourage on the left and right, got out of the carriage and bowed his hands.

    "I have received great kindness from my lord, but I can't repay it even if I die. If my lord abandons the overall situation for the sake of Jia, wouldn't it be cold to the hearts of these soldiers who have traveled far and suffered with my lord? What's more, my lord has great ambitions in the world, and nowadays, powerful heroes are born one after another.  , there is not much time left for the Lord. To stabilize Hebei, the desert must be leveled.

    "My lord is marching in response to the fire. Jia can return to the rear to recuperate. Jia's illness is nothing more than a minor illness. It will be cured after a few months of rest. Don't worry too much, lord."

    As soon as Guo Jia said this, the civil and military officials around Cao Cao all agreed. Cao Cao hesitated for a while, and Guo Jia asked again. Cao Cao sighed, then agreed, and then asked Guo Jia again.

    "I see that the northern land is rugged, making it difficult for the army to move, and the soldiers are resentful. What should I do?"

    Guo Jia pondered for a while. Although his face was bleak, the light in his eyes was still compelling and bright.

    "The so-called military noble spirit is to attack people thousands of miles away. The most important thing is to attack people thousands of miles away. The baggage is too heavy and it is difficult to make a profit. It is better for the Lord to use light troops and use the road to cover up the unpreparedness, but it can only be achieved by being guided by those who know the way."

    "Fengxiao's words are very much in line with my wishes. So in accordance with Fengxiao's words, I will take the light troops first and Fengxiao will return to the rear first. I will rest in peace and recuperate until the day of my triumph. I will have a big banquet to celebrate with you, Guo Langzi, all night long.  Dadan, get drunk and then rest."

    Guo Jia smiled slightly, quite indulgently, and asked again

    "I have worked hard, my lord, please don't just settle down with fine wine. When the time comes, I will ask the four beauties of Luoyang to accompany you to the banquet."

    "Hahahaha, what a prodigal son of Guo. As soon as he heard about the banquet, he was inseparable from drinking and drinking. When the time comes, I will invite four beauties from Luoyang for you to have a drink with you."

    "Haha, if the four beauties of Luoyang were to have a banquet together, I would die, and I would also close my eyes."

     "Sex has deceived my mind. If I don't see you making great achievements in succession, just based on your words, I, the Prime Minister, should punish you for serious crimes."

    "The prime minister can calm down the anger of people, only grass and trees can be ruthless. I wonder who among the heroes in the world does not love beauty. The Lord is also a romantic person. Don't we, the people of our generation, know that dying under peonies can be romantic even if you are a ghost?"

    "The name of a filial prodigal son is indeed a waste of money, hahahaha"

    Cao Cao laughed loudly, and he and Guo Jia were like close friends. After some teasing, when Cao Cao was about to arrive in Hebei, his chief adviser Guo Jia fell ill and was sent back to Luoyang.

    Cao Cao led his army and continued to march towards the desert. He was close to Liucheng, but was blocked by a shallow road, and his troops could not advance. Cao Cao followed Guo Jia's advice and asked the guides among the army to lead the way. Many people recommended Yuan Shao's old general "Tian Chou", saying that he was deeply  Knowing this situation, Cao Cao summoned Tian Chou to ask him.

    Tian Chou did know the land of Karasuma quite well and immediately told him

    "There is water on this road in autumn and summer. It is too shallow for carriages and horses, and too deep for boats. It is the most difficult to move. The prime minister would rather return to the army and choose another long road. From Lulongkou, cross the danger of Baitan. After leaving the empty land, he secretly approaches Liucheng.  , To conceal his unpreparedness, he can be captured in one fight."

    When Cao Cao heard this, he was overjoyed and made Tianchou the general of Jingbei. He served as a guide to guide the advance. Cao Ren took the second place and led the Chinese army to continue. Cao Cao personally escorted the army behind, and the army all led the light cavalry to advance.

    It is said that Tian Chou led Cao Ren to Bailang Mountain. He met Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang, Tadun and other tens of thousands of cavalry who came to intercept and kill Cao Ren. He did not dare to do anything rashly and reported to Cao Cao. Cao Cao reined in his horse and climbed up to Bailang Mountain to watch.  , I saw that Tadun's soldiers had no troops, were scattered, and had no formation at all. At first glance, they were all a mob.

    Cao Cao laughed and said to Cao Ren beside him

    "The barbarian people don't understand the beauty of the formation, and the enemy's troops are not in order. If we don't fight now, when will we wait?"

    Cao Cao then ordered Cao Ren to launch an attack. Cao Ren led Dianwei, Xu Chu, Cao Chun, and Cao Hong. They all led the tiger and leopard cavalry. They went down the mountain in four groups and rushed to attack the tiger and leopard cavalry. They were all composed of elites, and their formations were precise and capable of killing and injuring.  The force was particularly sharp, attacking from all sides. Tadun's army was in chaos. They were slaughtered by the tiger and leopard cavalry. They fled in all directions without any resistance. Cao Ren flew straight forward and went straight to take Tadun. Unexpectedly, there was wind from the left and right behind him.  I saw Dian Wei on the left roaring evilly, wielding his two halberds, as if he was entering an uninhabited land, flying quickly to see Xu Chu on the right, his tiger eyes widened, and the tiger-headed sword in his hand was flying and slashing at everything in his way.  When Tadun's soldiers and horses entered, they were killed by him like ripples, and the bloody storm kept flying. Cao Ren saw the situation and rushed to fly. He wanted to seize Tadun first. Tadun saw the three generals of Cao's army. They were all powerful and evil, and they had no intention of fighting.  Fearing, Dian Wei and Xu Chu fled on horseback. When Dian Wei and Xu Chu saw this, they yelled and cursed at Cao Ren but did not say a word. Chi Li chased Cao Ren. Ma Jun was the first to arrive. He raised the long spear in his hand and kicked his back.  He stabbed Ta Dun and blocked with his knife. After blocking several moves, Dian Wei and Xu Chu were about to arrive. They all shouted loudly at the same time.

    "Where to go"

    The sound of Dian Wei and Xu Chu sounded like a thunder bell, shaking Tadun's liver and gallbladder to pieces. His gestures were slow, and Cao Ren caught the gap. With a long sword, he first knocked the big knife out of Tadun's hand, and then quickly struck Tadun's body.  After five or six blows, Tadun screamed repeatedly and fell off his horse. Seeing his death, Cao Ren killed Tadun. He dismounted and cut off his head and raised it up. He roared loudly, which showed that the morale of Tadun's troops around him suddenly dropped when they saw their leader killed.  They all lost their will to fight and surrendered one after another. When Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang saw this, they were powerless and frightened. Knowing that it was difficult to resist the general trend of Cao's army, they led thousands of cavalry to Liaodong. Cao Cao gathered his troops into Liucheng. The reason why this battle was won was,  Because of Tian Chou's role in leading the way, Cao Cao granted Tian Chou the title of Marquis of Liuting to guard Liucheng.

    Who would have thought that Tian Chou, who was granted the title but refused to accept it, knelt down and cried

    "I am just a person who betrayed his righteousness and ran away. He has been greatly favored by the Prime Minister and is able to survive in this world. He is already a great blessing. How can he be invited to reward me again? I don't dare to accept the Marquis and the Prime Minister when I die."

    Cao Cao obeyed his righteousness and worshiped Tian Chou as Yilang. After that, Cao Cao comforted Shan Yu and others, collected thousands of horses, and returned to the army that day.

    The weather was cold and dry, there was no water for two hundred miles, and the army was short of food. They killed horses for food and dug thirty to forty feet of ground to get water. Cao Cao therefore temporarily lived in Liucheng. Not long after, Cao Cao got Guo Jia's letter from Luoyang.

    His entourage told him: "Guo Gong wrote this in his own handwriting, and what the Prime Minister said in the book is that things in Liaodong are settled."

    Cao Cao was overjoyed. He immediately opened the book and looked at it. He nodded and sighed. No one even knew what he meant. The next day, Cao Ren led everyone to report: "Gongsun Kang, the prefect of Liaodong, has not obeyed the guests for a long time. He does not listen to the orders of the imperial court and wants to stand on his own."  If Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang go to attack them again, they will cause trouble later on. It is better to take advantage of them before they move, attack them first, conquer them, and pacify Liaodong."

    Cao Cao laughed loudly and concluded rather enigmatically:

    "It doesn't matter how powerful you are, Feng Xiao had already predicted that in a few days, Gongsun Kang would personally deliver the heads of the two Yuans."

    All the generals refused to believe it and gave advice one after another. However, Cao Cao was determined and comforted the generals, saying that he would just wait for the good news with peace of mind.

    But it was said that Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang led thousands of horses to Liaodong. Gongsun Kang, the prefect of Liaodong, was a native of Xiangping and a powerful general.Gongsun Du's son also learned that Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were coming to surrender that day, so he gathered his subordinate officials to discuss the matter.

    Gongsun Kang¡¯s younger brother, Gongsun Gong urgently remonstrated.

    "When Yuan Shao was in Japan, he always wanted to annex Liaodong. The Yuan family is all a generation of jackals. Today, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang will be defeated and will perish. He has nowhere to live. He came here to meet each other. His motives are unpredictable. He may be a dove that seizes the magpie's nest.  If he tolerates it, he will not be as good as his brother in the future. He will pretend to promise in detail, trick the two Yuans into entering the city, kill them, and offer their heads to Prime Minister Cao. Prime Minister Cao is worried about the two Yuans. If he sees us passing on the heads of the two Yuans,  , I will definitely be very happy, and I will treat you well.¡±
