Three Kingdoms: Wolong's brother-in-law, tricking Liu Bei into seizing Jingzhou

Guo Jia surrendered.

Ke Bineng's eyes were filled with ecstasy, and he looked at Guo Jia in front of him as if he had found a treasure.

Although he was the Chanyu of the Xianbei, Kebi Neng had always admired Han culture and learned a lot of military strategies in private.

Therefore, Ke Bineng knew very well that if he wanted to unify the Xianbei and then rule the Central Plains, he must have the assistance of a man of extraordinary strategy and vision.

This is also the reason why he valued Jia Kui.

Ke Bineng knew, however, that Jia Kui's wisdom was only second-rate among Han strategists.

Guo Jia is the top strategist.

Now that Guo Jia has surrendered, Kebi Neng seems to see the hope of the cavalry crossing the Great Wall, herding horses in the Central Plains, and establishing the Xianbei Dynasty.

How could he not be ecstatic?

"Well, well, well, with your assistance, Guo Fengxiao, I have no worries about not accomplishing my great cause!"

Ke Bineng laughed loudly, stepped forward to help Guo Jia up, patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Fengxiao, from now on I will obey your orders. I will do whatever you say."

"You helped me to cross the Great Wall and herd horses in the Central Plains. I will avenge you!"

"You and I join hands to accomplish great things!"

Kebineng's ambition was like a spark that rekindled Guo Jia's dormant blood.

Guo Jia laughed wildly and said proudly:
"Okay, I, Guo Jia, swear here that I will do my best to assist the Great Chanyu in destroying the false Han!"

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.

...

Chang'an City.

When spring came and flowers bloomed, Zhang Fei and Xiao Fang returned with an army of 40,000.

A month earlier, Liu Bei had completed the pacification of the Longxi counties and returned with his army first.

It was the spring plowing season at that time, and the 400,000 Han troops had just completed their Western Expedition and could return to the fields without missing the farming season.

One month after returning to the capital, Zhang Fei and Xiao Fang also returned from Liangzhou with 40,000 troops.

Prior to this, the two had settled in Yan and forced Cao Zhang to flee to the grassland like a stray dog.

After that, Zhang Fei stopped pursuing the enemy outside the border at the suggestion of Xiao Fang and instead took over the two counties of Jiuquan and Dunhuang.

When the Han army's battle flag was once again raised on the top of Yumen Pass, it announced that the entire Liangzhou had finally returned to the embrace of the Han Dynasty.

Except for Yizhou, where Cao Cao retreated, and Jiaozhou, which was being attacked by Taishi Ci, eleven of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty had returned to the Han court.

The Han Dynasty was only one step away from unifying the world.

On the day Xiao Fang and Zhang Fei returned to the court, Liu Bei held a banquet in the palace to welcome them.

At the same time, this was also a celebration banquet to celebrate the recovery of Longxi Liangzhou and the expulsion of Cao Cao from the north to a corner of Yizhou.

At the celebration banquet, Liu Bei also read out the imperial edict of rewards, bestowing great rewards on all the officials who had made contributions to the Western Expedition.

Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Zhang He, Ma Su, Deng Ai, Guan Ping, Fa Zheng, Xu Shu...

All the meritorious generals who participated in the expedition were promoted and rewarded according to their achievements.

As the minister who made the greatest contribution, Liu Bei increased Xiao Fang's fiefdom to tens of thousands of households.

After the reward ceremony was over, all the officials were delighted.

"We thank your Majesty for his grace!"

As the prime minister, Xiao Fang took the lead in thanking Liu Bei.

"We thank your Majesty for his grace!"

"We thank your Majesty for his grace!"

All the ministers were moved, stood up one after another, and shouted in gratitude in unison.

"Your Majesty, no courtesy!"

"Whether you have given me advice or fought on the battlefield, you have all made great contributions to my revival of the Han Dynasty and the unification of the world!" "It's not you who should thank me, it's me who should thank you!"

"Everyone, please accept Liu Bei's greetings!"

Every word Liu Bei spoke came from the bottom of his heart. He stood up, faced his ministers and bowed deeply.

All the ministers were flattered and bowed again hurriedly.

Then the king and his ministers looked at each other and laughed heartily.

"Good news from Shuofang——"

The Yulin Guards rushed in, holding up the battle report.

"Your Majesty, the rear general successfully intercepted the Qin army on the grassland, severely damaged the Xianbei army, and killed more than 10,000 enemies."

"The general has captured Cao Zhang, the King of Rencheng of the Pseudo-Qin Dynasty, alive and has brought him to the capital, awaiting your majesty's decision!"

The hall was in an uproar again.

Pairs of eyes filled with surprise and admiration were directed towards Xiao Fang.

Including Liu Bei.

Everyone present applauded Xiao Fang's brilliant plan.

Ever since Cao Zhang fled from Juyan, most people no longer had much hope of eliminating Cao Zhang.

Even though they knew that Liu Bei had used Xiao Fang's strategy and sent Zhang Liao to lead the Shuofang Army to intercept the enemy in advance.

Who could have expected that Xiao Fang's advance layout would be such a great success.

In the battle Zhang Liao went to the border, he not only inflicted heavy damage on the Xianbei army, but also captured Cao Zhang alive!
"Prime Minister, you are truly a god!"

Liu Bei's thousands of words finally turned into a sigh.

He had uttered this sigh countless times over the past decade.

Xiao Fang smiled faintly and said self-deprecatingly:
"It seems that my unintentional act this time actually brought me a pleasant surprise, and I actually captured Cao Zhang alive."

Next, the question is how to deal with Cao Zhang.

Liu Bei's smile faded, and a cold murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

"Cao Cao usurped the Han Dynasty and committed treason. All members of the Cao family should be treated as traitors. Cao Zhang is Cao Cao's son, so he should be sentenced to death."

"Pass on my order to behead Cao Zhang on the spot, and send his head to Longxi and Liangzhou to deter those who harbor rebellious intentions!"

Liu Bei did not need Xiao Fang's reminder and decisively sentenced Cao Zhang to death.

Xiao Fang nodded secretly, then bowed and said:

"Now that Cao Zhang has surrendered, the remaining forces of Qin in the north have been basically eliminated."

"Next, I think Your Majesty should take a two-pronged approach, taking care of both the north and the south."

"Now the Xianbei have risen in the grasslands, Kebi Neng is ambitious and has already plotted against our border states of You and Bing."

"And your majesty will work for the long-term stability of the Han Dynasty. Sooner or later, you will lead your troops across the border to annihilate the Xianbei and put an end to the border troubles forever."

"So I think that Your Majesty should issue an order to dispatch famous generals and capable officials from the court to strengthen the three states of You, Yan, and Liang, store food and fodder, expand and train cavalry, and prepare for the future march to the border."

Liu Bei agreed with this and nodded:

"The Prime Minister's words make sense. The Prime Minister once said to me, 'If you are not of my race, your heart must be different.' I will keep this sentence in mind."

"Sooner or later I will go out to the border and wipe out the Xianbei. I will never allow the Xianbei to imitate the Xiongnu and become a major threat to the Han Dynasty!"

Xiao Fang was particularly pleased that Liu Bei remembered his instructions from that year.

Then he pointed his feather fan to the south and continued:
"Although Cao Cao has retreated to Yizhou, he is still a powerful man. If we don't defeat him, once he recovers, he will sooner or later lead his troops north and invade Yongliang."

"If your majesty wants to unify the world and destroy the Xianbei people with all his strength, you must first recover Yizhou and destroy the false Qin."

"So I think that from today on, we should start to store food and grass in Guanzhong, Longxi, and even Nanjun, and deploy military equipment and supplies to make preparations for the war to attack Shu and destroy Qin."

"After the autumn harvest, Your Majesty should mobilize all the troops in the country to cross the Qinling Mountains and march south, first taking Hanzhong and then Chengdu, and in one go, conquering Yizhou, destroying the false Qin, and unifying the world!" (End of this chapter)
