Waiting in Daying in Liang County for several days, but he still didn't see any rebellion coming back to report. Han Xian knew that he must have failed.

Fortunately, I learned in time that Hu Cai was going to stab him in the back, so I quickly sent troops stationed in Sili to run to Dongyuan on a verge of night, controlling the chaos in Hedong in one fell swoop and relieved my worries.

But he knew Hu Cai's ability to lead troops. If he hadn't been to the fight with Yang Feng himself, he would not have the absolute certainty to defeat him. Although on the conservative side, the troops from the east and south had been sent to encircle him, he would always feel uneasy.

At this moment, a spherical body suddenly threw in from outside the tent and rolled to Han Xian's heels. The guards outside the door quickly raised their swords to fight against the enemy, but Han Xian stopped them and put the man outside the tent and walked in.

"You guys retreat." Han Xian waved his hand and the guards immediately retreated.

Han Xian squatted down and opened the cloth package and was surprised to find that it was Hu Cai's neck. He was surprised and also brows slightly, looking at the sword-holding man standing opposite him: "Now my worries are gone."

The man holding the sword looked at Han Xian, who was already nervous and relaxed, and said coldly:

"If you want to regain Emperor Xian of Han as soon as possible, you need to attack Xu County while Cao Cao has not yet established a firm foothold. With the advantageous forces in your hands, you should be able to fight quickly, right?"

Although the worries behind were temporarily settled, Han Xian was still not very sure: "But Xu County is very close to Yanzhou controlled by Cao Cao. If I launch an attack and Cao Cao sends troops from Chenliu and Xiangyi to reinforce, I will be in danger."

"Ha, you don't have to worry too much about this. According to our internal response in the Han court, Cao Cao and Dong Cheng made three laws and regulations, and they will never bring soldiers from Yanzhou into Xu County. So let alone Xu County, even the weak soldiers and horses of Yuzhou that were just pacified by Cao Cao may not be your opponent. If you are too hesitant, the fighter will be fleeting."

After careful consideration, Han Xian made up his mind to attack Xu County, but he was still very cautious. He did not use the method of directly attacking Xu County. Instead, he sent a large group of troops to advance to Dingling, and burned, killed and robbed along the way, deliberately expanding his momentum.

His real intention was to give Cao Cao an illusion that he wanted to take Yuzhou and force Cao Cao to divide his troops from Xu County to rescue him.

At this moment, Cao Cao, who was guarding Xutian's camp, laughed loudly after hearing the military newspaper in Dingling direction. He disagreed with Han Xian's behavior at all. Instead, he laughed: "Han Xian's husband wants me to divide his troops to rescue Dingling and drive directly to Xu County. It is really a pedantic method."

Mao Jie, who was sitting beside him, said: "Hu Cai, who was stationed in Hedong, had sent an envoy to inform us that he would cooperate with the idea of ​​attacking Liang County from front to back. The lord has replied that he has agreed. Now Han Xian has divided his troops in Dingling, and it is definitely very empty than the Liang County camp. Why don't we take advantage of the situation to set the enemy of Dingling and directly attack Liang County?"

Although Cao Cao had such an idea, considering that Liang County is too far away and the number of troops in Dingling should not be ignored. Once he attacked Liang County for a long distance, Xu County's Kongxu would be likely to be taken advantage of by Dingling's army.

At this time, Guo Jia, who was sitting next to Xun Yu, had his legs numb due to his long fixed sitting position. His body seemed to have lost control and leaned forward. His head was heavy on the table in front of him, and then he shouted loudly and jumped up in pain.

When Xun Yu saw Guo Jia's actions, he smiled knowingly, turned around and bowed to Cao Cao and said:

"Lord, according to my opinion, you can ignore the Dingling land according to the law of Lord Mao, but we will not attack Liang County for the time being. Moreover, we will shrink the defenders around Xu County, which will cause Han Xian to have insufficient troops and dare not fight back easily. If this continues, Han Xian will definitely be unable to hold back and continue to increase troops to Dingling, so as to gradually test our weaknesses and reality, and then we will suddenly attack Liang County."

Cao Cao, who held his chin with his right hand, frowned slightly and said with a smile: "What you said makes sense, but it's still one step away."

After Cao Cao expressed his thoughts, all the strategists nodded frequently to agree. Only Guo Jia looked decadent and pulled Xun Yu's clothes and muttered quietly: "Mr. Xun, when will the tent be disbanded? My legs are almost broken..."

Cao Cao adopted Xun Yu's strategy and ignored Han Xian's harassment in Dingling and surrounding areas. Seeing that Cao Cao had no response, Han Xian increased his troops three times, Zhaoling and Kunyang, forming a great momentum. He wanted to encircle Xu County long ago. Cao Cao still did not move, but instead withdrew the defenders of Xiangcheng. Seeing this, Yang Feng and Han Xian confirmed that Cao Cao did not have enough troops to compete with him, so they were not confident and afraid that head-on confrontation would reveal flaws. They thought they could force Cao Cao and Dong Cheng to hand over the emperor.

After a stalemate, in October of the first year of Jian'an, 30,000 cavalry transferred from Chenliu to Yu County by Cao Cao in advance to attack Han Xian and Yang Feng's garrison while the troops were lost in Liang County were lost. Han and Yang, who were short of troops and were in chaos due to the sudden attack, had to face the enemy hastily, and the Liang County camp was soon captured.

Han Xian, who retreated to Ruyang, was furious and hurriedly sent an order to ask the defenders from Kunyang, Dingling and Zhaoling to attack Xu County. However, Cao Cao and Guo Jia, who had already been deployed, had already arranged proper defenses around Xu County. Under the command of generals such as Xiahou Dun, Bai Bo's army failed to attack for a long time and suffered heavy losses. In desperation, they had to move closer to Sili.

What they did not expect was that Cao Cao also arranged for Li Dian to lead his army to guard the border on the Yuzhou border. The scattered Bai Bo army could not break through and was trapped in Yuzhou. At the same time, Han Xian, who was intending to rush back to Hedong to reorganize his troops, never expected that Li Le would successfully gain the support of the generals of Hedong, and refused to implement the transfer order of Han Xian. Han Xian and Yang Feng, who had no way out, were dressed in disguise and mixed into Yuzhou to meet with the defeated soldiers trapped on the Kunyang line. They were annihilated by Cao Cao's army at any time.

In desperation, Yang Feng proposed to defect to Yuan Shu in Huainan. Han Xian, who had lost most of his troops, had no other way of retreat. He had to follow Yang Feng's advice and crossed Runan County to Huainan and asked Yuan Shu to take them in.

The Han Yang Rebellion has come to an end. Cao Cao praised Li Le, who was in the rear, and invited him to Xu County to ask the emperor to commend his achievements. Unfortunately, Li Le was busy with military affairs some time ago, which made his condition worse and unable to travel east. So Cao Cao asked the emperor to reward him with silver and brocade so that he could not recover from his illness.

Everything was as Guo Jia expected, and things were not that simple. According to Li Le's letter description, Hu Cai surrendered was true, which means that he would be killed if he was betrayed. According to his continuous open and secret investigation, the shadow in Cao's camp should also be involved in this.

It seems that he is getting closer and closer to the truth.
