Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and pure!

In the third year of Jian'an, it was mid-August.

After leaving Xudu, Cao Ang, who was preparing for the northern expedition to Liaodong, received the news that Jiangdong was pacified and Sun Quan was captured alive in Yuyang County, Youzhou.

Including Sun Quan ordering Lu Meng to secretly carry out treacherous plots, but they were defeated by the tips and prescriptions he left behind.

Moreover, Jia Xu took advantage of the situation and used conspiracy to undermine the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in Jiangdong. In the end, he marched in without any blood and captured the entire Jiangdong!

This caused a smile to appear on Cao Ang's face:"It seems that Jia Wenhe doesn't want to bear the name of a poisonous person and wants to clear his name."

Naturally, he saw Jia Xu's intention. But he didn't object.

Even very appreciative.

This move by Jia Xu not only captured Jiangdong without any blood, but also promoted Cao Ang's reputation for benevolence and righteousness, and at the same time vindicated Jia Xu himself.

Kill three birds with one stone

"Congratulations to the general!

Now that Jiangdong has been pacified, only Liu Zhang of Yizhou and Gongsun Du of Liaodong are left.

Liu Zhang in Yizhou has nothing to worry about. Once Gongsundu is pacified, the world will be unified.-！"

In front of Cao Ang, a tall and stocky young general congratulated Cao Ang.

This person is Yan Rou, the captain of Wuhuan Guards!

No, now it should be called Yan Rou, the general who conquered the north and the captain of the Wuhuan school.

When Cao Ang conquered the Yuan brothers and Gongsun Zan, Yan Rou led his troops to block Gongsun Du's 300,000 coalition troops in Liaodong, allowing Cao Ang to capture Ye City without any distractions.

Then we can conquer all four states in Hebei Province.

It can be said that Cao Ang won the four states of Hebei, and Yan Rou accounted for half of it!

Therefore, Yan Rou used this meritorious service to be named Jihou and promoted to General Zhengbei, one of the four generals of the expedition.

At this time, Cao Ang personally led his elite troops northward, joined forces with Yan Rou, and stationed in Youbeiping County, preparing for the battle to destroy Gongsun Zan in Liaodong.

After Cao Ang captured the four prefectures in Hebei, he surrendered more than 300,000 troops from Yuan Shang and Gongsun Zan.

In addition to the Northern Expedition troops originally led by Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army and Cao Ang, there were 50,000 troops in the four states of Hebei alone.

Before the Northern Expedition to Liaodong, Cao Ang reorganized and streamlined the surrendered troops in Yecheng.

The world is about to be peaceful, and there is no need for so many soldiers.

Moreover, many of the so-called war soldiers who surrendered were originally farmers and civilians, but they were coerced into joining the army as a result of the feudal princes competing to expand their armies during the troubled times when the world was full of strife and the people were in dire straits.

Most of Zhang Yan's 100,000 Montenegrin troops were civilian refugees. Cao Ang directly asked Tian Fengju, who was acting as political agent for the four states, to confer Xu You and three others to register the refugees, the old, the weak, and the weak in the Montenegrin army with household registrations, and grant them to all the people according to their numbers. The Lord’s wasteland.

Let them settle down as good citizens and farmers.

Let those refugees be grateful!

Even Zhang Yan was completely devoted to Cao Ang.

After the refugees were resettled, Zhang Yan's troops had less than 10,000 elite soldiers, which was obviously inconsistent with Zhang Yan's title of general after his meritorious service.

So Cao Ang selected nearly 20,000 elite infantry soldiers from the more than 200,000 soldiers and horses surrendered by Zishenpei and Yuan Shang, and handed them over to Zhang Yan to command, gathering together an army of 25,000 soldiers and horses. Still named Montenegro Army.

This made Zhang Yan overjoyed. He commanded an army of 25,000 elites, which was more effective than the 100,000 ragtag troops he had commanded before.

As for the remaining 200,000 Yuan's troops, Cao Ang eliminated 150,000 in one breath, and those with families and land were allowed to go home.

The homeless people were directly allowed to colonize military villages and form their own villages.

Only 50,000 soldiers with decent combat effectiveness were left, which together with the 150,000 soldiers left by Li Yang's previous reorganization amounted to 200,000.

Some of them were assigned to counties in the four prefectures of Hebei as garrison troops.

Another hundred thousand were left in Yecheng as the foundation of the newly founded Wei State.

After all, it was impossible for all of Cao's troops originally in Yuzhou to be brought to Yecheng.

At most, they will only bring about 100,000 elite veterans of Cao's army such as the Hubao Cavalry and the Qingzhou Army.

The rest will still stay in Yuzhou to guard and farm.

After making these arrangements, only Gongsun Zan's troops were left.

And the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Gongsun Zan's command were all elites after hundreds of battles, otherwise they would not have been brought out from Yijing by Gongsun Zan.

Except for the thousands of them who were injured in the Battle of Yecheng, Cao Ang directly paid them travel expenses and fields to evacuate and resettle them.

The main force of 30,000 Youyan left by Gongsun Zan was all left behind by Cao Ang.

Thousands of Youyan cavalrymen were incorporated into the Hussar Army, turning the Hussar Army from 5,000 to 10,000! (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

There are also 25,000 infantry, forming a new army called the Youzhou Army!

Together with Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army, there are two new elite infantry units totaling 50,000!

When Cao Ang first launched his Northern Expedition to Liyang, he had more than 130,000 troops and horses under his command, plus 5,000 additional cavalry and 2,000 private soldiers donated by Zhen, as well as cavalry brought by Zhao Yun, as well as private soldiers gathered from aristocratic families in Hebei. The wool of soldiers is 150,000 infantry and cavalry.

In addition to the 50,000 men from the Black Mountain Army and the Youzhou Army, the total is 200,000 elite infantrymen!

Among them, there are nearly 40,000 cavalry alone!

This was also the force brought by Cao Ang's Northern Expedition to Liaodong.

And here in Yuyang County, Yan Rou also has 30,000 troops and horses under his command, and there are another 60,000 to 70,000 affiliated tribes of Wuhuan and Xianbei, which brings the number of troops that Cao Ang can mobilize to about 300,000.

Cao Ang wanted to use these 300,000 troops to pacify Liaodong in one battle!

Moreover, the Liaodong that Cao Ang wanted to pacify was not just Gongsundu's power.

It also includes those Wuhuan tribes who followed Gongsun Du, such as Wuhuan Chanyu Tadun...

Of course, it also includes Goguryeo and Fuyu!

Cao Ang wanted to pacify these forces entrenched in Liaodong and outside Liaodong in one battle, and truly turn Goguryeo and Fuyu into a state of the Han Dynasty!

Just like Jiaozhou!

Therefore, after Cao Ang arrived at Yuyang County, he did not immediately launch a fierce attack.[]

Instead, it put pressure on Gongsun Du and others, causing them to hurriedly form an alliance to resist Cao Cao.

According to the news sent by the Jinyiwei who inquired about Liaodong, Gongsundu recently reunited Wuhuan Tadun Chanyu, the leader of Goguryeo and the King of Fuyu to form an alliance in Liaodong.

Gongsun Du named it, Alliance of the Northern Kingdom!

"Gongsun Du's alliance with the Northern Kingdom has been formed. Even if our army destroys Goguryeo and Buyeo, it will still be a battle of war!

Now that Jiangdong has been decided, we can officially march into Liaodong!

This Northern Alliance is my last stepping stone to unify the world!"

At this moment, Cao Ang looked at the map in front of him and said with burning eyes...Three...
