Yuan Fang, the person in front of me is actually Yuan Fang!
That one killed Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, Tao Qian, Yuan Shu, and even Liu Bei and other princes, who were frightened by the news.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In a few years, from a useless member of the Yuan family, to a young prince who miraculously rose to occupy the land of two states.
Now, it stood so majestically in front of him.
Cao Xing couldn¡¯t believe that he was defeated by this person.
Shocked and stunned, Cao Xing lay trembling on the ground, not knowing what to do.
¡°Tie him up and deal with him later!¡± Yuan Fang shouted sharply.
Yuan Fang had no intention of killing him.
Cao Xing was different from Wei Xu's three generals. He did not betray Lu Bu, but was forced to surrender to Cao after the city was broken and the situation was over.
In this case, Cao Xing is not on the list of revenge that Yuan Fang promised to Lu Lingqi.
And just now, Cao Xing showed his ability as a marksman, which also won him the capital from Yuan Fang to be merciful and spare his life.
Having bound Cao Xing, Yuan Fang raised his head and wanted to kill Cao Hong again. This general of the Cao family clan had already taken advantage of the battle between him and Cao Xing to blend in with the defeated army and escape without a trace.
At this time, after Yuan Fang used the ability to harden the skin, his physical strength was consumed rapidly, and a strong feeling of weakness began to quietly spread throughout his body.
Yuan Fang had no choice but to issue an order, ordering Zhang Liao to lead his army and continue to pursue Cao Hong and his defeated troops. Yuan Fang slowed down and came later.
Under the pursuit of Zhang Liao's cavalry, Cao Hong lost most of his five thousand soldiers and horses, and fled back to Hulu City in embarrassment.
Zhang Liao's cavalry followed and Cao Hong was stunned. Not daring to stay any longer, he and Liu Bei had to abandon Hulu and flee in the direction of Juye.
Zhang Liao easily captured Hulu City without losing any blood.
Peicheng and Hulu, the two important towns blocking the Yanzhou Road, all fell into the hands of Yuan Fang.
That evening, Yuan Fang arrived at Hulu City and sat high in Cao Hong's gorgeous mansion.
Cao Hong was fond of wealth. When he was stationed in Hulu City, he plundered a lot of wealth. now. All these millions of money were handed over to Yuan Fang, and became Yuan Fang's reward for meritorious generals.
Heavy footsteps sounded, and Cao Xing was escorted in.
As soon as Cao Xing entered the door. Then he saw Zhang Liao standing at the side of the hall. The originally nervous face. Suddenly I felt a bit ashamed.
Zhang Liao's face was livid, and he said in a deep voice: "Cao Xing, Marquis Wen treats you very well. How can you betray Marquis Wen?"
Cao Xing's expression suddenly changed and he said anxiously: "Wen Yuan, you have misunderstood. It was Song Xian, Wei Xu and Hou Cheng who betrayed Marquis Wen and secretly opened the city gate. I led my troops to fight and was surrounded. I had no choice but to surrender. Cao Cao, I did not betray Marquis Wen."
Zhang Liao's expression softened and he sighed: "The eldest lady has led me and other old troops of Marquis Wen to surrender to the lord. If you are really forced to surrender to Cao Cao, why not surrender to the lord now?"
Cao Xing was originally forced to surrender to Cao Cao. He was not very loyal to Cao Cao. After being persuaded by Zhang Liao, an old official, he was even more intimidated by Yuan Fang's power and hurriedly surrendered.
"My lord, Cao Ziping is quite capable of leading an army. Now that he has realized his mistake, he is willing to surrender to the lord, and please accept it." Zhang Liao turned to Yuan Fang and asked with his hands raised.
Cao Cao was good at shooting and was not die-hardly loyal to Cao Cao. The reason why Yuan Fang did not kill him before the battle was because he wanted to surrender.
Now Zhang Liao came forward to plead for mercy, and Cao Xing fell to the ground and asked for surrender. Yuan Fang took advantage of the situation and generously agreed to Cao Xing's request for surrender.
Cao Xing was very grateful and thanked Yuan Fang repeatedly for not killing him.
Yuan Fang comforted him and asked him to bring out the intelligence of Cao Hong's army and all the generals.
Wherever Cao Xing dared to conceal anything, he naturally told everything. He put the responsibility for losing Peicheng on Man Chong after Liu Bei's defeat. Cao Hong also wrote Man Chong's guilt in a letter of emergency and sent it to him. The truth about going to Yuzhou to report to Cao Cao will come out.
"It's just as I expected" Yuan Fang sneered secretly and looked at Man Chong on the side of the hall.
At this moment, Man Chong's face was as gloomy as iron, and he was gnashing his teeth secretly, with a look of grief and anger.
"Obviously, Man Chong did not expect that Liu Bei and Cao Hong would avenge themselves publicly and put all the responsibility for the fall of Peicheng on him.
Yuan Fang waved his hand to order Cao Xing to return. He looked at Man Chong and said calmly: "Bo Ning, I, Yuan Fang, don't like to force others to make things difficult for them. The door is open. You can stay or leave as you wish."
Man Chong was shocked, raised his head suddenly, and looked at Yuan Fang with a surprised look.
He didn¡¯t seem to believe it. Yuan Fang didn¡¯t even mention the bet at all, but he was still so generous and let you come and go.
This magnanimity deeply shocked Man Chong.??
"I have been framed by Cao Hong and Liu Bei. I can no longer stay with Cao Mengde. This Yuan Xian is unparalleled in wisdom and bravery, and even more rare in his magnanimity. He is truly a hero that is rare to see in a century. If I surrender to him, I will definitely help him accomplish great things." , and live up to what I have learned in my life"
After pondering for a long time, the hesitation on Man Chong's face disappeared, replaced by determination.
Taking a deep breath, Man Chong stood up and walked to the front of the hall, facing Yuan Fang, and bowed deeply.
"The general is a true gentleman, and Man is not a villain who doesn't keep his word. Since the bet has been lost, if the general does not give up, Man will be favored and submit to the general, and he will do his best for the general."
Full of favors, he finally decided to surrender.
Yuan Fang was overjoyed. He jumped up and rushed down to the hall. He helped Man Chong up and said with a happy smile: "Now that I have Bonin's help, there is no need to worry about unclear laws under my jurisdiction. All the soldiers and the people are very blessed. Okay, I will Appoint you to work as a law officer and take on the heavy responsibility of prison for me."
With this appointment, not only Man Chong but also Zhang Liao were surprised.
He is a senior official who belongs to the state of the state. Fa Cao is engaged in the prison of the prison, and his status is not heavy.
Man Chong was originally a small county magistrate, but now Yuan Fang promoted him to the status of Mi Zhu and Tian Feng.
"I can't pamper a newly surrendered minister. My lordmy lord actually trusts me so much?" Man Chong's voice was hoarse and he was quite excited.
Yuan Fang smiled faintly: "I, Yuan Fang, have no doubts about employing people. There is no distinction between high and low under my command. As long as I have the ability, I, Yuan Fang, will only use my talents. Man Boning, you don't have to be surprised. I believe that you It¡¯s enough to bear my trust in you.¡±
The phrase "Only talents should be used" fully demonstrates Yuan Fang's magnanimity in employing people.
Man Chong was so moved that he didn't know what to say, while Zhang Liao and Cao Xing also secretly sighed and were deeply impressed by Yuan Fang's magnanimity.
Forcibly suppressing his excitement, Man Chong took a deep breath again, raised his hands and solemnly said: "Thanks to the lord's trust, Chong will enforce the law like a mountain and live up to the lord's trust."
Yuan Fang nodded with satisfaction, and a happy smile appeared on the young man's face.
A few days later, the follow-up army arrived.
Yuan Fang led an army of 45,000 to attack Yanzhou from Peicheng. He drove all the way straight in, defeated several cities in Gaoping, Kangfu, and Jinxiang, and went straight to Juye, an important town in the hinterland of Yanzhou.
Juye City is located in the south of Daye Ze, which is also the largest lake in Yanzhou. Several water systems in Yanzhou are connected to Daye Ze.
??And these water systems are radially connected to all counties in Yanzhou. It can be said that Ohnoze is like the heart of Yanzhou, and the water systems are the blood vessels leading from the heart to the limbs.
If you want to capture Yanzhou, you must gain control of Ohnoze, and if you want to control Ohnoze, you must capture the important town of Juye.
Yuan Fang¡¯s army rushed straight towards Juye, but the defeated Cao Hong and Liu Bei picked up the defeated troops and resisted step by step, trying to delay Yuan Fang¡¯s advance. ,
In Yuzhou, Cao Cao was naturally shocked when he heard the news, and then he realized that he had fallen into Yuan Fang's plan of seducing the east and attacking the west.
Shocked, Cao Cao feared that Yanzhou would be lost, so he immediately gave up the attack on Runan and hurriedly led an army of 40,000 to withdraw from Yuzhou to support him.
Halfway through, Cao Cao received news of Cao Hong's defeat and was even more shocked.
Cao Cao calculated that Yuan Fang would go straight to Juye City and seize control of Daye Ze, so he hurriedly changed the route halfway and headed straight for Juye.
After running wildly for several days, Cao Cao finally led his army to Juye before Yuan Fang's army arrived.
At this time, Yuan Fang had led his army to reach fifteen miles east of Juye.
After hearing that Cao Cao's reinforcements had arrived, Yuan Fang ordered the army to stop advancing and ordered the entire army to go to the bank of Daye Ze and choose favorable terrain to move down the stronghold.
Cao Cao's timely arrival was actually within Yuan Fang's expectation.
After all, that was Cao Cao. He was a powerful man in the world, and Yuan Fang was able to catch him off guard and kill him all the way to his heart. This was already a great success.
Yuan Fang knows that now is when the battle for the Central Plains really begins.
After the camp was set up, at dusk, Cao Cao sent an envoy to Yuan Fang and invited him to meet at the bank of Onezawa tomorrow.
"I heard that Cao Cao is extremely cunning. Now that he invites the lord to meet, is it possible that he is deceitful?" Gao Shun asked worriedly.
Yuan Fang said: "Although Cao Cao is a treacherous and powerful hero, he is not like Liu Bei. I also want to meet him for a while."
Yuan Fang had no worries and immediately replied to the envoy, happily accepting Cao Cao's invitation.
The envoy took Yuan Fang's handwriting and rushed back to Juye that night.
Juye City.
In the lobby, Cao Cao sat high, holding aAs Yuan Fang replied, a somewhat appreciative smile gradually appeared on his scorched face.
"This Yuan Fang is really brave, very good. I can't wait to see what is so special about Yuan Benchu's rebellious son."
Although Cao Cao called himself "the traitor", his tone was quite respectful.
At this time, Cao Hong said at the foot of the stairs: "Mengde, that Yuan Fang is arrogant and dares to invade our Yanzhou without any reason. Why don't we set up an ambush on the day and take advantage of the meeting to kill that kid in one fell swoop."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Cao waved his hand and said decisively: "I besieged him in Gaotang before, and now he invades my Yanzhou, which can be regarded as revenge. I just want to meet that kid for a while. Setting up an ambush is definitely not advisable."
Cao Hong's proposal was rejected, so he had to retreat unhappy.
After the military meeting was over, the generals dispersed.
When Cao Hong walked into a deserted place, Liu Bei, who had been following closely behind him, followed closely.
Seeing that there was no one around, Liu Bei sighed and whispered: "Yuan Fang is cruel and cunning. There is really no need to speak of a gentleman's trust between Duke Cao and such a person. In fact, Bei also feels that General Zilian's suggestion is right. "
Cao Hong shook his head and sighed, and said helplessly: "What a pity, Meng De didn't listen to my advice."
"If Duke Cao doesn't want to, why doesn't General Zilian act secretly?" Liu Bei's lips showed a hint of indifference. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
