The Battle of Guandu laid the foundation for the situation in the north.

Cao Cao only lost more than 40,000 people in battle, but defeated Yuan Shao's army of 420,000, and forced Yuan Shao to death in Liyang City Mansion!

It's a big win.

Right now, count Zhang Haocheng's 30,000 iron horses and 60,000 prisoners.

This wave, Boss Cao definitely made a lot of money.

Regardless of the quality, the quantity properly satisfied Cao Cao's vanity.

When he stood at the head of Liyang City, overlooking the soldiers training in the phalanx below, he felt heroic.

For the generals, Cao Cao also showed the generosity of the Ming Lord, as long as he was willing to submit to his life, the past was not counted, and he accepted it all.

Especially Xu Yu and Zhang Hao.

Xu Yu was originally a classmate of Cao Cao, and he had surrendered before breaking Yuan Shao, and although he had the fault of influencing Cao Cao to pretend to beep, he still got a guarantee of a sacrificial official position.

This is Guo Jia's current position, and this kind of courtesy cannot be described as small.

Of course, after returning to Xuchang, the four great strategists will definitely be promoted again.

And Zhang Hao's treatment is higher, as a famous general in the north, his own force is not weak, and he has the ability to command the army, plus 30,000 iron horses to surrender together, Zhang Hao became a five-rank general, and the name was Pingxi.

However, there is something that Cao Cao is very strange, obviously it is 30,000 cavalry, but there are few war horses.

It is said that there is a shortage of food and grass, and the killing of horses is full of hunger.

Fortunately, Boss Cao is expanding his wealth and does not delve into this matter.

As for the major military generals under Cao Cao, Cao Cao had already promised that after the end of this battle, he would be rewarded for meritorious deeds and would be promoted at least one level on the original basis.

After Liyang Dading gathered the forces of all parties, the problem in front of Cao Cao came out again.

At the moment, Qingzhou is unknown.

Yuan Shang led 40,000 iron horses to flee back to Union Prefecture, plus the original strength of Union Prefecture, it was not difficult to make up a hundred and twenty thousand to come out.

Youzhou Yuan Xi also has 200,000 troops, and if the two are combined, the 500,000 army is no problem.

On this day, the four great strategists gathered at Cao Cao's camp to discuss the next strategic layout.

"Lord, although our army has won a great victory, it is not feasible to annex the four northern states in one bite, which is equivalent to swallowing an elephant by a snake. "

"The subordinates suggested that they should garrison Liyang and hold the passage of the Yellow River. "

"The army retired from Xuchang, and then divided the troops into the prefectures, maintained the development of the salt industry and agriculture, and then made a plot in the spring of next year!"

Xun Yu and Xia Houyuan were in charge of the development of the salt road, and now Guanzhong salt covers the Great Han Jiuzhou, and the profits are terrifying.

Without Yuan Shao's threat, Xun Yu believed that within three years, he would be able to easily sweep away the brothers Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi.

His subordinates also agreed with Gongda's view. "

Xun Yu echoed: "Lord, now that Xuzhou has also begun to promote corn planting and Jiangdong ploughing, as long as some time and grain is abundant, I believe that the people along the Yangtze River will also begin to migrate to Xuzhou." "

"If the people migrate on a large scale, the impact on Liu Biao in Jingzhou is not small. "

Jia Xu nodded and said, "What Wen Ruo said is exactly what I am worried about, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, Sun Quan and other princes will never want to see our army grow so rapidly, when the time comes, I am afraid that there will be some action, and the lord must not be guarded." "

"Bongxiao, what do you think?"

Cao Cao did not want to retreat in his heart, and now that Yuan Shao died, the northern country would be in chaos.

The morale of the army under his command is high, if he pursues with victory and expands the results of the battle, maybe he really has the opportunity to eat the three northern states in one go, then the remaining Qingzhou is not a worry.

But right now, even the most radical Jia Xu does not approve of this.

"Master, last night I discussed the current situation with Xuan Immortal..."

As soon as Guo Jia spoke, Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and Jia Xu and the others also meant to listen to each other.

This battle with Yuan Shao really established Guo Yun's status.

To say who is the number one general of the group, there may be disputes.

But the position of the chief strategist is none other than Guo Yun.

Whether it was to cut off Liu Bei or defeat Yuan Shao, the greatest credit was given to Guo Yun, let alone refining Guanzhong salt, inventing the Jiangdong plow, introducing corn and making hot air balloons.

"If the lord wants to expand the victory of the battle, he can collect the cities of Jizhou, and the rest of the troops will return first, leaving one-third of the troops to defend Jizhou. "

"As soon as Yuan Shao dies, his three sons will definitely fight, and now Yuan Tan has been killed by Xuan Xian, leaving only two brothers, Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan. "

"Our army doesn't have to sit in this muddy water and watch the tiger fight. "

Guo Jia said slowly: "As long as the army moves south, pretends to attack Jingzhou, and loses the threat of our army, these two brothers will definitely become fire and water and compete for control in the north." "

"This method is very good!"

Cao Cao also understood that now was not the time for him to be willful.

The north will have to be taken sooner or later, but if a lot of troops are spent here, I am afraid that the rear nest will be unstable.

Combining many factors, Cao Cao finally decided to expand the occupation of Jizhou, collect two-thirds of the troops, and return to Xuchang.

"It's already past the end of this time, why hasn't Xuan Immortal come yet?"

Cao Cao asked suspiciously.

Now, Boss Cao is very accustomed to Guo Yun's urine nature, and it is simply impossible for him to be summoned to come to the meeting.

Fortunately, Cao Cao did not care about Guo Yun's small problems, after all, he has done a lot of work, and he is his future son-in-law, one is not greedy for power, the other is not greedy for money, such a powerful general and ghost talent strategist, where to find?

In Cao Cao's opinion, even if the Lying Dragon and Phoenix chicks add up, they are not worth a single hair of Guo Yun.

Xun Yu replied, "Master, Xuan Xian led five hundred iron horses to leave the camp early this morning. "

"Leave the camp?"

Cao Cao was stunned, frowned, and blamed: "Wen Ruo, why don't you stop him?

"Fengxiao, you are too, your own brother, how can you let him be so nonsense?!"

Xun Yu: "(TT)"

Guo Jia: "╥_╥..."

Boss, you think too highly of us!

That goods can be hard Xu Zhongkang, can we stop it?

For a moment, Cao Cao also understood that he had made some gaffes.

Immediately let Xiahou Wei take the Tiger and Leopard Battalion and the Tiger Army to support!"

Hearing this, Guo Jia's heart was warm.

"Master, Xuan Xian just went to Zhongshan Wuji, and there is no big deal. "

Guo Jia understood the truth that concern is chaotic, and explained: "Wuji is just a small county town, with Zilong and five hundred iron riding around, there is absolutely no problem with safety. "

Zhao Yun's strength they really saw.

In the battle of Airborne Liyang, even Xu Zhongkang, the first thug of the group, was injured, and Zhao Yun was unscathed, which really impressed them.

"Zhongshan Wuji?!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao patted his head, and only then reacted: "This is a big thing, all blame me, blame me!"

"After passing the order, the tiger and leopard battalion and the tiger army immediately assembled, and let Cao Hong and Xu Huang lead 50,000 infantry to go to Wuji with me, and then ordered Pi'er to bring a hundred air battalions. "

Hearsay!

Guo Jia's face changed suddenly, and he turned pale in an instant: "Master, is there an ambush by the remnants of Yuan Shao in Wuji?"

The two elite troops came out together, plus 50,000 infantry and 100 air battalions, which is almost half of the group's strength!

In this way, Wuji is by no means an ordinary small town!

"Fengxiao don't panic!"

Cao Cao looked at the expressions of the four great strategists, and said with a smile: "I'm worried about not knowing how to reward Xuan Immortal, no, his fourth lady is in Zhongshan Wuji, as the lord, I have to snatch someone back for him!"

Guo Jia: "o(╯□╰)o"

Xun Yu: "B" (⊙_⊙)

Jia Xu: "|(*mouth')"

Xun Yu: "Σ(△|||) ︴"

Ga?!

Summoning the army, it turned out to rob the wife?

This Nima, isn't it too child's play!

Cao Cao looked around, looking at the four of them looking at each other, deliberately raised his tone and asked, "Guys, but do you have any opinions, or is it not worth me to do this?"

"Worth it, it's worth it..."

Jia Xu thought for a while and said, "But the Lord personally leads the army, I'm afraid it's inconvenient, right?"

Cao Cao did not forget to take advantage and said, "What's inconvenient?!

"Master, have you forgotten?"

"You're Xuan Immortal's old man?!"

Cao Cao: "Σ(⊙▽⊙ huh?!"
