Cao Cao defeated the Yuan clan but did not withdraw his troops.
Wang Can led the army to stop at Lujiang, but Cao Cao was extremely busy without stopping.
The Wei army braved the severe cold and rushed back and forth in the north to eliminate Yuan's chronic illness.
Compared with Wang Can, Cao Cao knew that his foundation was insufficient, and his supplies of food, grass, and soldiers were far behind because he did not have the financial and material resources of Yizhou and Jingzhou.
Therefore, Cao Cao seized the time and pacified all counties in Youzhou in the shortest possible time, reorganized Youzhou, and at the same time launched an attack on Bingzhou to prepare to stabilize the rear area.
Gao Gan, the governor of Bingzhou, was Yuan Shao's nephew.
When the Yuan family was destroyed, Gaogan stationed troops in Bingzhou and survived.
Senior cadres are well versed in civil and military affairs, have certain talents, and can be considered to be both civil and military.
However, in terms of martial arts, Gao Gan is only a middle-level general, not as good as Le Jin, Li Dian, Xiahou Dun and others, let alone the fierce general Xu Chu around Cao Cao, so Gao Gan is not acceptable in terms of martial arts.
In terms of intelligence, Cao Cao has Sima Yi, Sima Lang, Chen Qun and other talented people under his command, who are far superior to senior officials.
In addition, Cao Cao also has Yuan Shao's former counselors, such as Ju Sue and Xu You.
No matter which aspect, senior cadres are at an absolute disadvantage.
When Cao Cao sent his troops to march westward, the senior officials were extremely nervous, knowing that disaster was coming.
Senior cadres sent people to review the allocation and discuss countermeasures.
Shen Pei was Yuan Shao's trusted advisor.
When Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's three sons were at war, Shen Pei cleverly hid in Bingzhou, avoiding the war in which Yuan's family was destroyed, thus saving his life.
Jinyang, governor's office.
The senior officer was walking back and forth in the hall, looking very anxious.
Seeing Shen Pei walking in, the senior official seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.
He hurriedly welcomed Shen Pei into the hall and asked, "Mr.
Zhengnan Shen Pei, Cao Cao is coming with a large army to kill him.
What should we do?"
Shen Pei smiled and said: "Sir, there are three options for you to choose from: upper, middle and lower."
Gao Gan immediately asked: "What three strategies?"
Shen Pei replied unhurriedly: "The next best thing is for me to surrender Bingzhou and submit to Cao Cao, so as to prevent Bingzhou from being attacked by weapons and to avoid being killed.
However, your Excellency is the nephew of the first lord, a direct descendant of the Yuan family, and Cao Cao."
If you are suspicious by nature, you will definitely not reuse the adults, and may even imprison the adults, or simply give the adults a sinecure for the rest of their lives. " Gao Gan shook his head and said, "No, sir, the right strategy is right."
Shen Pei continued: "The middle strategy is to unite the Shu army to resist Cao Cao, and use the power of the Shu army to maintain a neutral position.
If the Shu army comes to kill, I will unite with Cao Cao to fight against Shu; if Cao's army comes to kill, my Lord will unite with Shu to fight against Cao Cao.
No matter who wants it To attack Bingzhou, I will unite with the other side.
I will form my own system and will not be controlled by Cao Cao and Wang Can."
Gao Gan shook his head slightly, frowned and said: "The Yuan family is dead, and the Sun family in Jiangdong is sunset in the west.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Cao Cao and Wang Can are fighting for supremacy in the world.
If I am isolated in Bingzhou, although I will temporarily find peace, sooner or later I will Submit to one side.
When Cao Cao and Wang Can decide the outcome, Bingzhou will no longer have an advantage.
Will there be a chance to submit?
Zhong's strategy is not good. " As he spoke, a bright light flashed in Gao Gan's mind, and he guessed the judge's last strategy, but he didn't say it clearly.
Shen Pei then said: "The best policy is to submit to the King of Shu."
Gao Gan pretended to be angry and asked: "Why is it a bad idea to surrender to Cao Cao, but it is a good idea to surrender to Wang Can?"
These words were made by Gao Gan deliberately and wanted to test the attitude of the judge.
At the same time, the senior officials also wanted to see what Shen Pei was thinking.
Shen Pei asked: "May I ask, sir, after Cao Cao raised his army, he repeatedly fought with Wang Can, and did he get any benefits?"
The senior official pondered for a while and replied truthfully: "Indeed not."
A smile appeared on Shen Pei's face and he said: "Cao Cao is defeated by Wang Can.
It is naturally the best policy for you to surrender to the Shu army.

Of course, this is just a superficial speculation and cannot be relied upon.
If you analyze it carefully, it is also the best policy to surrender to the King of Shu."
"How to see" Gao Gan sat down, his face no longer anxious.
Shen Pei said: "To the north of Bingzhou is the land of the barbarians.
Due to your reputation and virtue, the barbarians dare not invade; to the east of Bingzhou is the land of Jizhou, which is Cao Cao's power.
Now it is threatened; to the south of Bingzhou is Chang'an.
The land with Luoyang is controlled by Huang Zhong and Gao Shun and belongs to the King of Shu; to the west of Bingzhou is Liangzhou, which is controlled by Zhao Yun and also belongs to the King of Shu."
"If you return to Cao Cao, you will definitely be attacked by Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Gao Shun, and you will be attacked on both sides."
"Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong are both fierce generals in the world and difficult to match.
In addition, there is a treacherous Fazheng in Luoyang.
If the generals submit to Cao Cao, they will definitely be defeated.
If they submit to the king of Shu, with the strong support of Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, Cao Jun will have nothing to fear. ” The trial partner was talking eloquently and seemed to have a well-thought-out plan.
Finally, Shen Pei said: "How to make a decision is entirely up to the adults."
Gao Gan sneered and said: "Mr.
Zhengnan, Fazheng sent people to contact you, so that's why you said what you say today."
Shen Pei did not deny it and said directly: "Your Excellency is very discerning.
Fa Xiaozhi did send people to discuss the ownership of Bingzhou.
Zhao Yun led 10,000 light cavalry and has also entered Shangdang County, stocking up at Huguan, and is ready to set off at any time.
Huang Zhong's 3,000 heavy cavalry and Gao Shun's 800-strong cavalry are also preparing at Hulao Pass to coordinate with Zhao Yun's cavalry at will."
"Huguan" Gao Gan exclaimed and shouted: "Huguan is an important place in Bingzhou and is already the hinterland of Bingzhou.
How can Zhao Yun lead 10,000 light cavalry deep into the hinterland of Bingzhou?"
Shen Pei had a smile on his face and said nothing.
Gao Gan stared at Shen Pei, pulled out the sword from his waist with a clang, pointed at Shen Pei, and shouted: "Shen Zhengnan, you actually defected to Wang Can, very good, very good, you faked the order of the governor." , let Zhao Yun lead 10,000 light cavalry deep into Bingzhou, and it is an unforgivable crime to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country.
I will kill you today. " Shen Pei said in a deep voice: "I'll let you do whatever you want."
He raised his neck and looked directly at Gao Gan without any fear.
Shen Pei looked sad, and his right hand holding the hilt of the sword kept trembling, and said: "Shen Zhengnan, I have confided in you and handed over all the military and political power to you.
Are you worthy of me?"
Shen Pei said calmly: "Bingzhou is in danger, don't you know, sir?"
"Clang" The sword fell to the ground, and Gao Gan sat slumped on the ground.
"Fine, fine, surrender to the King of Shu."
Gao Gan shook his head helplessly, picked up the long sword on the ground in despair, and said: "All military and political matters in Bingzhou are decided by you, you don't need to notify me."
After saying that, Gao Gan turned around and returned to the backyard.
Shen Pei looked at Gao Gan's leaving figure with a complicated expression.
Senior cadres entrusted Shen Pei with important responsibilities.
This was a gift of knowledge, and Shen Pei was very grateful.
But Bingzhou was sandwiched between Shu and Wei, with no one to rely on, and a choice had to be made.
After Cao Cao destroyed the Yuan family, Shen Pei was unwilling to work under Cao Cao, so he had the idea of submitting to Wang Can and using the power of Shu to avenge Yuan Shao.
Shen Pei turned around and left, quickly discussing the matter of returning to Shu.
Xingping seven years, March 15th.
Zhao Yun led 10,000 light cavalry out of Huguan, marched thousands of miles, entered Jizhou, and raided Shexian and Wu'an counties under Guangping County.
The cavalry descended from the sky suddenly, captured two counties, robbed the two counties of grain, grass and ordnance, and destroyed the Wei army stationed there.
At the same time, Huang Zhong led 30,000 elite troops out of Hulao Pass again and approached Yingchuan County and Chenliu County.
After the news came out, Cao Jun was shocked.
The 10,000 cavalry led by Zhao Yun disrupted Cao Cao's arrangement, and Huang Zhong suddenly intervened, causing danger to the south of Wei State, and someone had to lead an army to guard it.
Cao Cao's army attacking Bingzhou had to stop.

On the one hand, he sent people to stop Zhao Yun, and on the other hand, he resisted Huang Zhong who was leaving Hangu Pass in the east.
Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong intervened, and Cao Cao was unable to swallow Bingzhou.
He felt as if he was being strangled by the throat and felt extremely uncomfortable.
It can be said that Fazheng's timing was extremely accurate.
He sat back and watched the Yuan family be destroyed, but when the senior officials were isolated and helpless and about to be attacked by Cao Cao, he took the initiative to extend an olive branch and surrendered and merged the state without any blood, disintegrating the last force Yuan Shao had established and leaving Cao Cao defeated.
The North cannot be completely taken over.
With the strength of Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, it was enough to temporarily contain Cao Cao.
In this way, Wang Can bought time to pacify the south
