On the second day of December, Liu Cheng received news that Cao Cao and Liu Bei had joined forces to defeat Zhang Chao and captured Shanyang County, and the prefect Zhang Chao fled back to Chenliu.
Guo Jia handed over to Liu Cheng and said: "My lord, this Cao Cao is really shameless.
He even sent someone to send a letter to Zhang Miao afterwards, saying that he was bewitched by Liu Bei to send troops.
He regretted it.
In order to express his apology, he was willing to send Yan County, Baima and other counties gave Zhang Chao a place to live.
In the land, brothers Zhang Miao actually forgave Cao Cao and accepted places such as Yan County and Baima.
Brothers Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao hated Liu Bei so much that they accepted Cao Cao's invitation to conspire with them to prepare to attack Liu Bei.
Originally, Cao Cao was planning to Join forces with Liu Bei again to deal with Zhang Miao's " Liu Cheng smiled and said: "This Cao Cao is indeed cunning.
He is not afraid of betraying the gang and causing Zhang Miao and Liu Bei to join forces to deal with him."
Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Since Liu Bei and Cao Cao jointly attacked Zhang Chao, he is the enemy of the Zhang brothers.
How can they easily resolve conflicts and hatred?
Even if their brothers know that Cao Cao is causing trouble, they are just lucky and want to First join forces with Cao Cao to deal with Liu Bei and then turn around to deal with Cao Cao."
Liu Cheng frowned and said, "It seems that Cao Cao can't suppress him anymore."
Guo Jia cupped his hands and said with a smile: "My lord, why should you care about Cao Cao?
Although he is cunning and has a group of capable ministers under his command, he is in the place of the Four Wars.
Now my lord is in charge of the government, commanding the armies, and holding the emperor's orders under his command."
Lords, no matter how much he jumps around, Cao Cao is always surrounded by enemies."
Guo Jia's words made Liu Cheng stunned, and he felt suddenly enlightened.
Guo Jia was absolutely right.
The reason why Cao Cao was able to unify the north and establish the Cao Wei regime in his previous life was for historical reasons.
Cao Cao's power development before welcoming Emperor Xian of Han into Xudu It's not too big.
Since he took control of the emperor, his strength has developed rapidly.
At that time, the court in Chang'an was controlled by Guo Si, Li Jue and others.
These people had no political talents and did not pose any threat to Cao Cao.
But it is different now.
The Chang'an court under the control of Liu Cheng is definitely not the same as Li Jue and Guo Si in his previous life.
It can be compared, and Cao Cao no longer has top advisers such as Guo Jia, Xun's uncle and nephew, and Jia Xu.
Guo Jia continued: "My lord does not need to worry about Cao Cao's threat to the court for the time being, but he has to worry about the court dealing with him, so he will never attack Zhang Miao.
Zhang Miao's Chenliu County separates the court from his territory.
If he attacks Chenliu, he will directly face military pressure from the imperial court, which is something Cao Cao absolutely does not want to happen in the short term."
Liu Cheng rubbed his face and said: "You are right.
We don't need to worry about Cao Cao for the time being.
Be it him, Liu Bei, or Tao Qian, let them bite each other.
The court should still treat the Xiongnu After all, you are right.
The commanders of the three major tribes of Xianbei in the west should have returned to their tribes by now.
When do you think they will launch an attack on Tuoba Xianbei next year?"
Guo Jiadao: "According to the time, they should still be in Dunhuang County, and they will return to their tribe in the spring of next year.
My subordinates believe that they will launch an attack on Tuoba Xianbei as soon as next autumn.
My lord does not need to worry too much."
Worried, we have sent officials over to coordinate and supervise.
They should not go against the will.
In fact, with our strength, we must It is not difficult to deal with Tuoba Xianbei, but Mobei is vast and we are not familiar with the terrain.
If they are allowed to escape back to Mobei, it will be difficult to eradicate them, and the advantage of Western Xianbei is that we can do it Let the Xianbei people consume their strength internally.
They are familiar with each other.
As long as we provoke them properly, we can fight them to death."

There were not many days left before the New Year.
Liu Cheng convened the courtiers to discuss and decided to issue a decree to designate New Year's Eve and Spring Festival as legal holidays, and the fifteenth day of the first lunar month as the Lantern Festival.
The saying of New Year's Eve already existed in the pre-Qin Dynasty.
This time only It is merely a decree establishing its importance.
The New Year's Eve of the fourth year of Chuping and the Spring Festival of the fifth year of Chuping were definitely the most unforgettable times in their lives for the people under the rule of the imperial court.
Ordinary people had never had such a good life.
After the Lantern Festival, Liu Cheng had to say goodbye to his wife and children and embarked on the journey north.
The 10,000 cavalrymen who had been trained for several years could finally be put to use at this time.
At this time, Yan Xing and Qubei led 10,000 Huns and had a fierce battle with the Huns around Meiji City.
The two sides fought several battles in succession, each with a victory or defeat, and both suffered heavy losses.
On the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month, the Xiongnu army led by the Xiongnu elders and shaman chief priests retreated to the north of the Yellow River and gradually retreated north.
Yan Xing decided to postpone the war and ordered the army to rest and recuperate in place.
However, Qubei disagreed and he fought Pretending to be the leader of the Huns, he attracted a group of Huns centurions and could control more than 4,000 troops.
Qubei firmly opposed Yan Xing's plan to postpone the war.
He believed that he should pursue the victory and defeat the Xiongnu elders and the shaman chief priests in one go.
After careful consideration, Yan Xing allowed Qubei to lead four thousand cavalry in pursuit, while he hung far behind with the remaining men.
Qubei led 4,000 men and horses to pursue them to the Manyi Valley at the foot of Yin Mountain.
They were ambushed by the army of Xiongnu elders and shaman chief priests.
The 4,000 men were caught in the middle, attacked and massacred.
Fortunately, Yan Xing and his army arrived in time, but Yan Xing did not just rescue Qubei, but led his army to fight to the death with the Xiongnu elders and priests.
This battle also changed from an ambush by the Hun elders and shamans to a forceful attack.
It was impossible for the Hun elders and shamans to lead their troops to escape.
They were already riding a tiger, and whoever retreated first would be completely defeated.
Therefore, both sides They can only grit their teeth and persevere to the end.
The fighting lasted from morning to afternoon, and towards dusk, the troops of the Xiongnu elders and shamans finally could no longer hold on and began to collapse.
Yan Xing and Qu Beishi pestered them and pursued them fiercely.
In the end, the defeated soldiers of the Xiongnu elders and shamans were chased into a mountain valley, unable to advance or retreat.
A more fierce battle began again.
The defeated soldiers of the Xiongnu elders and shamans made a temporary counterattack, bursting out with huge fighting power.
Both sides Another bloody fight continued until dark.
The Huns elders and shamans were killed one after another, and the others were also killed one by one.
At the end of the battle, Yan Xinghe and Qubei had only more than 2,000 people left under their command, and they could only camp on the spot to rest.
At dawn time the next day, at the moment of sunrise, an army appeared on the horizon.
The rumble of horse hooves awakened the remaining two thousand Huns soldiers camping in the valley.
The next moment, the horrified cries were drowned out by countless shouts of death and the sound of horse hooves.
More than two thousand people were massacred without any defense.
Yan Xing appeared in front of Liu Cheng on horseback carrying Qubei's head.
Liu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother, I'm relieved that you are safe and sound."
Yan Xing cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for thinking about me, brother.
This trip is finally safe."
At this point, the power of the Huns was completely eliminated.
The remaining Huns were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and no longer threatened the Han Dynasty.
However, Liu Cheng did not intend to let it go.
The Huns living in Meiji City Everyone, old, weak, sick and disabled, was killed by the cavalry he sent.
It was mid-February after Liu Cheng led his army back to Chang'an.

He immediately ordered the remaining Huns from the Xihe Army and Hedong Army to be dispersed and live among the Han people in various places.
He distributed fields to them and sent people to teach them farming methods.
On this day, Liu Cheng was inspecting the construction and dredging of farmland water conservancy facilities organized by the government and the people in Huaili County near Chang'an.
A fast horse galloped from the direction of Chang'an.
Chen Qun took the memorial from the messenger and immediately came to Liu Cheng.
Cheng reported to his side: "Lord, Chang'an has sent a memorial.
It seems to be an important matter."
Liu Cheng turned around, took the memorial, opened it, looked up at the people working in the fields, and said to the people around him: "Qiu Liju, the leader of Karasuma, is dead.
His son Lou Ban is still young, so he asked his nephew to wait.
Chief Photographer of the Three Kings Tribe Tadun just took over Some people were dissatisfied with the position of leader of Karasuma, so he gave up his protection to Liu Yu's son Liu He and sued for peace with Gongsun Zan.
Now all the remaining forces after Liu Yu's death were eradicated by Gongsun Zan, Liu He was also killed, and his subordinates were killed.
The dead will die, the dead will fall."
The leaders of the Three Kings of Wuwan tribe are Su Puyan, Nanlou, and Wuyan, and all three of them claim to be kings.
When the ministers and officials around Liu Cheng heard the news, they all knew that Gongsun Zan was no longer restrained in Youzhou.
He could confidently and boldly go south to deal with Yuan Shao, and the pressure on Yuan Shao increased.
"Let's go back to Chang'an" Liu Cheng said and turned around to leave.
The soldiers brought the red rabbit horse.
He got on the horse and galloped towards Chang'an.
Officials and generals got on their horses to follow.
Da Sima Mansion.
Liu Cheng informed all the officials and generals present about the situation and asked: "Everyone, is this news good or bad for the court?"
Jia Xu stood up and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, I think this news is beneficial to the court.
There is a power struggle within Karasuma, and there is no time to look south for the time being.
Gongsun Zan can deal with Yuan Shao with all his strength, and according to the news from the secret camp spies, Gongsun Zan is already sending more troops to Yi Jing."
Xun You stood up and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, I think the court should give Gongsun Zan some support and courage."
Liu Cheng asked: "What is Gongda's advice?"
"My lord, why doesn't the imperial court consecrate Gongsun Zan to the title of General Zhenbei, Governor of Youzhou, and Governor of Hejian?"
When Liu Cheng heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Gongda's plan is very clever."
Granting Gong Sun Zan the title of General Zhenbei can arouse the jealousy of Yuan Shao, the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family.
Although Yuan Shao is the shepherd of Jizhou, this is what Cao Cao said, and it was during the time when Dong Zhuo was in power.
Yuan Shao has not been mixed up yet.
The official position of general was inferior to that of Gongsun Zan, who was from an ordinary background.
Making Gongsun Zan the governor of Hejian will give him a reason to send troops to attack Yuan Shao.
Because Hejian County is now occupied by Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, as the governor of Hejian, will naturally want to take it back.
If he doesn't give it, he will attack:
