Cao Jun entered the city and controlled everything in Liucheng as quickly as possible.
Tadun's relatives and tribesmen were all kidnapped by the people below and brought to surrender to Cao Cao. Cao Cao accepted the surrender and took control of those tribesmen and dealt with them later. This is how the siege battle came to an end.
This is how the three counties of Wuhuan were captured by Cao Cao.
The only regret was probably letting the Yuan brothers escape and not being able to capture them together.
In view of the two escaped Yuan brothers, Cao Cao summoned Chen Zhou and all his advisers and held a meeting to discuss what should be done and whether Gongsun Kang should be beaten as well. .
Only when the Yuan family's people are under control can Cao Cao feel relieved.
As a result of this meeting, everyone had the same idea, that is, in favor of attacking Gongsun Kang and completely eradicating the roots. After all, the attack has reached this point, Wuhuan's food and grass have been obtained, and Wuhuan's troops have been recruited, and there is enough military food to continue. Hit it in.
This battle can be fought!
The counselors around Cao Cao all agreed to eradicate the root cause.
"What do you think?"
It has almost become Cao Cao's habit to ask Chen Zhou for his opinion.
However, Chen Zhou's thoughts were completely different from those of the counselors. He shook his head and said, "I think there is no need to fight! Just watch the fire from the other side."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Chen Zhou in surprise.
When fighting Wuhuan and eradicating the roots, Chen Zhou strongly believed that the fight should be continued. Now when fighting Gongsun Kang, he felt that there was no need to fight, which suddenly made them confused.
"What do you mean by this?"
Cao Cao asked everyone's doubts.
Chen Zhou's judgment was also based on history. Thinking of the famous Guo Jia's legacy plan to determine Liaodong, I have to say that Guo Fengxiao judged Gongsun Kang and the Yuan brothers quite accurately. He watched from the other side and watched them contradict each other and fight. Sit back and reap the benefits.
"According to the information from our scouts, the Yuan brothers did flee to Liaodong and took refuge with Gongsun Kang."
"If we fight there, the Yuan brothers will definitely join forces with Gongsun Kang to resist. It's a long way from here to Liaodong. We have just defeated the three counties of Wuhuan and it is not suitable to extend the front any longer. Gongsun Kang and the Yuan brothers will join forces. If there are any resistance forces within the three counties of Wuhuan, we may be damaged in Liaodong and unable to come back."
"This is one of the reasons not to fight."
"The second point is that I don't think the Yuan brothers and Gongsun Kang can live in harmony."
"If we don't fight, they will definitely be suspicious of each other."
"How can the Yuan brothers be inferior to others?"
"Gongsun Kang can temporarily accept them, but he is also suspicious. He also wants to be recognized by the court. They will definitely fight. When the time comes, the lord can just wait to collect the heads of the Yuan brothers. There is really no need to fight again."
Chen Zhou briefly spoke based on the upcoming plot.
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
The first point is that they think there is no problem. Indeed, if they continue to penetrate deep into Liaodong and Wuhuan in the three counties, rebel forces may appear, cutting off their retreat, and possibly annihilating the entire army.
As for the second point, they can't believe it for the time being.
However, what Chen Zhou predicts will always happen. There are various cases to foreshadow it, and he is very trustworthy.
"How confident are Watari's predictions?"
Cao Cao asked immediately.
Chen Zhou said: "I'm 90% sure, my lord just waits to collect the heads of the Yuan brothers."
The remaining 10% certainty was because Chen Zhou wanted to be modest and didn't have the confidence he claimed.
Everyone: "..."
"I believe in Watanabe!"
Cao Cao considered the last step and made up his mind: "We will be in Liucheng, waiting for the death of the Yuan brothers, and at the same time, we will take care of the internal issues of how to control Wuhuan. As for the migration of the Wuhuan population mentioned some time before the crossing, what do you think? ?”
Next, they discussed how to relocate the population of Wuhuan and how to utilize the young and middle-aged people in Wuhuan to become the main force of their own army. There were still many things to do.
Chen Zhou didn't understand this kind of internal affairs at all. He only knew how to make plans by predicting history. If he hadn't predicted history, he might not be as smart as Guo Tu and others. How to deal with internal affairs was far inferior to Xun You and others. .
Therefore, Chen Zhou sat aside and listened.
When they were almost done discussing it, they waited for the news from Liaodong.
Chen Zhou believed that Gongsun Kang would not let him down.
——
Xiangping.
Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang led a group of remnant soldiers, with no defeated generals. The generals around them were either killed in the battle or surrendered to Cao Cao. At this time, they came to Xiangping and were accepted by Gongsun Kang. They settled down for the time being. The pursuers reached Liaodong and were temporarily relieved.
As long as the pursuers don't come, they will be safe.
However, Gongsun Kang placed them in the post house and never summoned them.
The two brothers asked to see Gongsun Kang many times, but the response they received was that Gongsun Kang was unavailable, which made Yuan Shang feel very unhappy.
As members of the Yuan family, their brothers had never suffered such treatment. Now that they were treated like this by Gongsun Kang, they felt secretly unhappy.
Yuan Shang looked at Liaodong in front of him. Under the various emotions of being unhappy with Gongsun Kang, he gradually had some special thoughts and said: "Second brother, do you think I can take Liaodong as our last guarantee? Develop and grow, fight back?”
"Capture Liaodong?"
After hearing Yuan Shang's words, Yuan Xi thought he heard something wrong.
They only have more than a thousand people left now. Gongsun Kang has more than 20,000 troops in Liaodong. How can he win Liaodong?
If you dare to take action, it is no different than sending yourself to death.
Yuan Shang narrowed his eyes and said unwillingly: "Now Gongsun Kang is making various excuses not to see us, but he will come to see us sooner or later. When we meet, I will kill him and recruit his people. That’s the plan.”
He is somewhat confident in his martial arts.
He couldn't beat a real general, but he thought he had no problem beating Gongsun Kang, he could beat him!
"Xianfu, are you confused?"
Yuan Xi said: "If we kill Gongsun Kang, his subordinates may not be willing to obey us."
Yuan Shang said confidently: "Not necessarily! Once Gongsun Kang dies, there may be chaos within Liaodong. The more chaos there is, the greater our chances will be. Everything is possible!"
Yuan Xi: "..."
He didn't know where Yuan Shang had the confidence. There was no way he could succeed in doing this.
But Yuan Shang was full of confidence, as if I could succeed. In fact, Yuan Shang didn't know where the confidence came from. He just wanted to do this. This thought surged out and was out of control.
"Xianfu, calm down!"
Yuan Xi said quickly: "Some things are not as simple as you think. If we do this, we may not even have a chance to live."
However, Yuan Shang couldn't listen to these words. Now he is waiting for Gongsun Kang to summon him to realize his great idea. He will definitely succeed!
