Cheng Yu's words once again made Cao Cao fall into deep thought.

80,000 troops is by no means a small number.

Even the Cao army after the victory of Guandu could not gather 80,000 people.

Once they marched into Liyang, these 80,000 troops became a scourge.

Let them go, and it won't be long before they return to the Yuan family's tent.

This kind of stupid thing, Cao Cao will definitely not do.

But it is not easy to absorb these 80,000 people.

Once it is not handled well, there will be a rebellion, and a fire will break out in the backyard directly.

The best, most direct and most straightforward way is to kill.

Kill them all, and you're all gone.

Before making up his mind, Cao Cao turned his head to look at his grandson Chao Rui.

He hoped that Chao Rui at this time could give him a solution for both worlds.

Chao Rui saw Cao Cao's eyes, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Prime Minister, I have a plan to settle these 80,000 surrendered troops

!" "Oh?" Cao Cao was surprised, and hurriedly said: "Tell me quickly!" Chao Rui immediately

said: "Lao Mo has been to the prisoner camp, these people are of different ages, not

all of them are young and strong!" "Instead of killing them all, it is better

to divide and rule!" Cao Cao said: "

How to divide and rule?"

Chao Rui handed a copy

of the book to Cao Cao: "Veterans and those under the age of thirteen are unified into the Tuntian Army, and more than 20,000 people can go!" "The young and strong are divided into two groups, one group is under the accounts of Zhang He and Gao Ran

, and 30,000 people can go!" "The other batch is used to supplement the soldiers of various units in our army, and it can also go to 30,000

people!" "In this way, 80,000 people can be properly arranged

!" "

In the future, when the counties and counties of Hebei learn of the prime minister's benevolent government, they will definitely look forward to the wind and vote!" Chao

Rui's policy of batching, Cao Cao can only say that he has no objection, but what really makes him excited is that the military and civilians of Hebei are looking forward to the wind.

The handling of these 80,000 people is directly related to his strategy for governing Hebei in the future.

"Okay, just follow Rui'er's policy!" Cao Cao immediately handed the book to Cheng Yu: "This matter is entrusted to you and Xun Yu, and it must be handled properly within three days!"

"Obey!" The two of them gave up their hands and slowly withdrew from the big tent.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

80,000 surrendered troops were properly disposed of.

The happiest are Gao Ran and Zhang He.

Originally, they had only a few thousand subordinates, but now they have ten thousand people.

The status of Cao Ying is undoubtedly the top priority.

The army marched across the Yellow River and headed for Liyang City.

Before arriving at Liyang City, Guan Yu sent someone to send the head of the guard Jiang Yiqu.

There was no need for Cao Cao to make a move, Guan Yu and Lu Bu had already captured the city.

This is undoubtedly another great news for Cao Cao.

Immediately ordered the whole army to speed up.

The next night, the army marched into Liyang City.

After the army settled, Cao Cao joined the Chinese army.

The generals of various ministries went to the big tent to participate in the deliberations.

Guan Yu and Lu Bu escorted Yuan Shao and Yuan Xi to come.

"Kneel!" The

father and son of the Yuan family were pressed to their heads and knelt on the ground.

Cao Cao bent down, looked down at the father and son, and then pretended to be surprised: "Oh, isn't this Cao Cao's former eldest brother Yuan Shao?

The victory in the battle of Guandu was already the highlight moment of Cao Jun.

Now that Yuan Shao's father and son have been captured, Cao Jun has been directly made a god.

In the face of the enemy's ridicule, Yuan Xi couldn't raise his head.

But Yuan Shao held his head high and stubbornly maintained his last dignity.

"Cao Mengde, if you really treat me as a big brother, let me loosen my ties and make me more decent!"

"Why not?" Cao Cao waved to Xu Chu.

"Obey!" Xu Chu clenched his fists and immediately untied Yuan Shao.

Without the restraint of the rope, Yuan Shao immediately stood up and regained a bit of his former look.

"Brother Ben, what do you have to say?" Cao Cao asked again.

Yuan Shao said: "I am willing to destroy the Dayu Dynasty, sacrifice the jade seal, cede Qing and Merge Prefectures, and use the name of General Anbei to guard the two states of the Han Dynasty!"

Cao Cao shook his head with a disdainful attitude.

Yuan Shao gritted his teeth: "I don't want Jizhou either, I am willing to defend Youzhou for the Han Dynasty and resist the invasion of foreign races

!" "Hahaha!" Cao Cao smiled: "Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao, do you think you are still qualified to negotiate conditions with me now?" Yuan Shao: "Cao

Apu, you..."

But Cao Cao didn't care about it at all.

Cao Cao smiled and said: "If you Yuan Shao captures me in Guandu, I give up the Son of Heaven and hand over Yanzhou and Yuzhou, will you let me go?" Yuan Shao

was silent for a moment, if he was the victor, he would never let Cao Cao go.

It may even dig up his ancestral grave of Cao Cao.

At this time, Cao Cao, how could he let himself go?

Cao Cao said again: "Your life and death are only in my thoughts, with or without you, I will take the four states of Hebei!"

At this moment, Yuan Shao's face turned pale, and the whole person sat on the ground as if he had lost his muscles and bones.

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Come on, bring Yuan Shao's father and son down for me

!" "Yes!" Xu Chu clenched his fists, immediately tied Yuan Shao, and took him away with his son.

"Cao Apu, Cao Apu, you can't die well..."

Yuan Shao's scolding gradually faded away.

Cao Cao then rewarded Guan Yu and Lü Bu, who captured the Yuan family's father and son.

Lu Bu was crowned as the general of the expedition to the east, Guan Yu was the general of the prisoner, and the gold and silver were rewarded innumerably, and the rest of the meritorious generals were rewarded.

"Prime Minister Xie!" Guan Yu and Lu Bu knelt down to thank him.

Cao Cao immediately said: "A banquet is set up in the city, and the three armies drink for three days and three nights, celebrating for Yuan Shao's father and son

!" "The prime minister is mighty!" The soldiers roared one after another.

As the generals retreated, Cheng Yu and Xun You stayed.

"You two, is there anything else?" Cao Cao said.

Cheng Yu said: "Prime Minister, our army has won successive battles, it is better to break

Yecheng first and then celebrate it!" "Yes!" Xun You also said: "This is undoubtedly the perfect time to break through Yecheng

!" Cao Cao smiled and turned his head to look at Chao Rui: "What do you

think?" Chao Rui said: "I don't think the prime minister has anything to celebrate in Liyang City, and he can take the opportunity

to clean up the inside!" "How to clean up the inside?" Cao Cao asked Chao Rui again.

Chao Rui said: "The banquet of the three armies is undoubtedly a good opportunity to rescue Yuan Shao, in the past Hebei civil and military, there will always be people who show their feet

!" "Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed, pointed at Cheng Yu and Xun You and said: "Look at Chao Rui Look at the two of you, you must first settle down inside when you go outside, don't you understand this truth?"

Cheng Yu hurriedly surrendered his hand: "The crow military division is wise!" "

Admire, admire!" Xun You also gave up his hand again and again.

Cao Cao slapped on the table: "Yuan Shao and his son are the bait in this game, I will wait for the big fish to take the bait

!" "What the prime minister said!" The two nodded again.

Cao Cao said: "The matter of the big banquet will be handed over to the two of you, take care of the father and son of the Yuan family, and I will send someone else!"

"Obey!" The two of them apologized and withdrew from the big tent one after another.

Cao Cao then asked Chao Rui: "Do you think it is most appropriate for someone

to guard the Yuan family's father and son?" Chao Rui smiled: "You can order Gao Shun to guard the Yuan family's father and son, this person is not good at drinking, and he doesn't like to drink

!" "Hmm!" Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction.

Gao Shun was immediately transferred and ordered to lead his subordinates to guard the Yuan family's father and son.

In addition, Cao Cao arranged for Xu Chu to lead the tiger guard camp to echo each other in the periphery.
