When taking stock of Ming Taizong at the beginning, Lao Zhu was stunned!

Chapter 152: Soldiers are valuable and quick, and they can win with surprise.

Han Dynasty, the first year before Emperor Wen.

Liu Heng naturally knew what Cao Cao would do, but he also discovered the key from Cao Cao's move.

Cao Cao was extremely strict on political matters. The "Clothes and Belts Edict" incident resulted in the killing of many people, including the pregnant Dong Guiren.

You must know that pregnant women are a vulnerable group in the eyes of the world, and she is pregnant with a dragon. Even if it has no effect at the time, it is still a reputation. This cannot allow Dong Guiren to save his life, let alone other people.

Liu Heng pressed three decisively.

[Cao Cao burned these letters and said: "As strong as Shao is, I can't protect myself alone, let alone everyone!"]

[In the seventh year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao died of illness. His eldest son Yuan Tan and his third son Yuan Shang were not in harmony, and their relationship began to break down. 】

[In the ninth year, while Yuan Shao was attacking Yuan Tan, Cao Cao sent troops to surround Yecheng. This base area run by the Yuan family for generations was captured by Cao Cao in a few months. 】

[Yuan Shao fled in embarrassment and went to his second brother Yuan Xi, who served as the governor of Youzhou. 】

[After conquering Yecheng, Cao Cao immediately moved his base camp to Yecheng in Jizhou. 】

[This place has great advantages in terms of geographical location and resources, so Cao Cao began to use this place as his base, and all government orders were based on this. However, Liu Xie still stayed in Xu County, and only a few officials remained. There. 】

[In October, Cao Cao turned around and attacked Yuan Tan, pacifying Jizhou and Qingzhou. Later, Cao Cao petitioned to be appointed as the shepherd of Jizhou. At this time, Yuan Shao and Yuan Xi once again fled to Wuhuan, the three counties. 】

Han Dynasty, the fourth year of Yuanshou.

Liu Che began to have some dislike for the Yuan family, which had four generations and three fathers.

How do you manage your subordinates?
Who was the heir chosen in the first place?

The eldest son and the third son actually had direct conflicts and even split. This shows that Yuan Shao did not handle the problem of his son well, let alone the problem of heir, which even caused a huge Yuan family to fall apart, and was eventually eaten by Cao Cao.

At the same time, this also proves that Yuan Shao is indeed as Cao Cao previously evaluated. He has many soldiers but unclear divisions, and it is difficult to unify his orders. If his two sons had not fought among themselves, Cao Cao would not have been able to erode all their power so quickly.

Could it be that the education of this wealthy family with four generations and three fathers has failed like this?
Besides, what are the three counties of Wuhuan?
Could it be that the Wuhuan group from the Xiongnu moved inland to the Han Dynasty?
Or maybe they were conquered by the Central Plains and subsumed the Yuan family, or maybe the Yuan family had a close relationship with Wuhuan, allowing foreigners to participate in the chaos of the late Eastern Han Dynasty?
This is not surprising, after all, in the last years of the Han Dynasty, the entire Central Plains was in chaos, and it was not impossible for the Huns to have a hand in it.

Eastern Han Dynasty, Jianwu 17 years.

Liu Xiu frowned. It seems that Wuhuan will join my big man in the future.

Today Wuhuan is still under the banner of the Xiongnu, and in the final analysis, it is Wang Mang's fault. He expelled Wuhuan to attack the Xiongnu, took Wuhuan's wife as a hostage, used killing as a threat, and finally forced Wuhuan to surrender to the Xiongnu.

Therefore, to this day, the Wuhuan are still harassing the borders of the Han Dynasty together with the Xiongnu. As for the Wuhuan in the future, I am afraid that they will end up similar to the Xiongnu. They will either flee to the west, integrate into the Central Plains, or disappear completely.

After all, the Tang Dynasty behind the Han Dynasty never heard from Wuhuan again.

The early years of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang expressed his affirmation of Cao Cao's behavior, but he paid close attention to one person-Liu Bei.Could he be a key figure in the future?You must know that the previous miracle said that Liu Chan was the later master of the Han Dynasty, which means that there was a later master after the Eastern Han Dynasty, so there must be a previous master.

So far, there is only one person with a high frequency of miracles and good abilities, and his surname is Liu.

[The three counties of Wuhuan refer to the Wuhuan alliance of the three counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi and Youbeiping. Among them, Tadun is the most powerful and is the leader of the three counties. 】

[Yuan Shao once joined forces with Tadun to eliminate Gongsun Zan and successfully allowed him to occupy Youzhou. In order to repay Wuhuan, Yuan Shao used the name of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to make the leaders of Wuhuan Shanyu, and also married the daughter of the clan to Wuhuan. The leader is his wife. 】

[At this time, the Central Plains was in great chaos, but Wuhuan took this opportunity to enter a period of rapid development. 】

[Such an ambitious tribe has repeatedly gone to the borders of the Han Dynasty to plunder, and is eyeing the Central Plains, so it is always a hidden danger in Cao Cao's eyes. 】

[At this time, Liu Bei, who was fleeing, had already arrived in Jingzhou where Liu Biao was the herdsman. Therefore, many people were worried that Liu Bei would persuade Liu Biao to attack Cao Cao's base camp Xudu while Cao Cao was attacking Wuhuan.]

[Then, Cao Cao makes the final decision. 】

[[-]: To deal with Wuhuan first, we must first pacify the north and stabilize the territory we have established so far. 】

[Two: Although we have to deal with Wuhuan, we must also be on guard against Liu Biao. Send an army to attack Wuhuan first to see the situation. 】

[[-]: Wuhuan is nothing to worry about. The Yuan brothers have also become bandits. At present, we should focus on the south and attack Liu Biao first. 】

The early years of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, and saw another person named Liu, and he also occupied the land of Jingzhou. He seemed to be stronger than Liu Bei, more like the former master, but Liu Bang still felt that the former master could not be this person, no matter what He is intuitive.

Song Dynasty, the first year of Kaibao.

Zhao Defang also disliked Wuhuan. Although the Han Dynasty has declined, there are many heroes everywhere with extraordinary strength. Where can these foreign barbarians take their turn to participate in the struggle for the Central Plains?

Their ambitions are better placed over there!

Then after saying that, he also felt regret from the bottom of his heart. Although the Central Plains was so powerful, they were always divided and unable to unite as one. It was always uncomfortable for those foreigners to take advantage of the loopholes and make profits from the Central Plains.

Han Dynasty, the first year before Emperor Wen.

Liu Heng also felt that it was more important to stabilize the north. After all, it would be fine if there were only Wuhuan, but the ambitious Yuan brothers and their followers also went to Wuhuan.

With these two groups of people together, it will be difficult for Cao Cao to have a stable rear. If the time comes when the south is fighting, and his base camp is stolen, it will be completely over.

So, will Liu Biao be persuaded by Liu Bei to take advantage of the situation and attack Xudu?
After struggling again and again, Liu Heng pressed the button.

[Cao Cao had the idea of ​​attacking Wuhuan, and he also had strong support from his adviser Guo Jia.Guo Jia believed that Liu Biao was suspicious and liked to communicate more and solve problems through discussions. The more Liu Bei persuaded him, the less likely Liu Biao would send troops. 】

[So Cao Cao personally led his troops to conquer Wuhuan in the north. This was also a very classic case in history of "the superiority of the troops, the speed of the troops, and the victory with surprising troops", which was passed down to later generations. 】
