"In this case, if the edict is passed, Pang Tong will be appointed as the protective eunuch."

Guo Jia and Xun Yu looked at each other and saw a smile in each other's eyes.

It turns out that the two candidates, Bu Zhi and Pang Tong, were all suggested by Cao Peng.

No matter what, I finally lived up to Ah Fu’s trust...

In the late spring of the 16th year of Jian'an, Zhang Liao ordered Xiang Chong to be the vanguard and Ma Di to join the army. He recruited soldiers and horses from the Twelve New Prefectures in Yuyang and launched an attack on Liaodong. The excuse for sending troops was that Gongsun colluded with pirates. He attacked Cao Peng's ship in Liaodong Bay with the intention of treason. No matter how the Gongsun family explained it, the crime was confirmed. When Zhang Liao became the governor of Liaodong, he was dissatisfied with the Gongsun family.

Now that I have found a reason, I have become more famous.

Faced with evidence after evidence, Zhang Liao used his unprecedented strength to attack Liaodong.

Gongsun hurriedly accepted the challenge, but how could he be Zhang Liao's opponent?

In just twenty days, Liaodong was captured by Zhang Liao.

However, the Goguryeo reinforcements that Gongsun had been waiting for were met with an extremely fierce blow from the Han Kingdom of Lu.

General Pang Ming of Lu Han commanded an army of 50,000 and launched a fierce attack.

Cao Peng, who quietly arrived back in Seoul, secretly ordered Guo Huai to take over Gao Shun's troops, Deng Ai to join the army, Sun Shao, Xu Gai and Zhang Hu to be the vanguard, and make a surprise attack on the domestic city. The Goguryeo troops and horses were attacked by Lu Shihan without any precautions.

The national army was defeated in one fell swoop. The royal palace fled in a hurry, defeated the inner city, and fled to Buyeo.

Later, Cao Peng led Zhao Yun Fazheng, and in the middle of May, he met Zhang Liao in the inner city.

In June, Cao Peng, in the name of the Protector of the Five Armies, sent the trustworthy governor of Daxing Prefecture and the governor of Liaodong Bu Zhao to send letters of credence to the leader of Fuyu State to ask for the throne and head of the palace. At first, Fuyu State had a very tough attitude and resolutely refused.

Hand over the palace.

In the middle of June, Cao Peng took Guo Huai as the vanguard and pretended to attack Fuyu.

At the same time, Zhao Yun led 3,000 soldiers, crossed the Liao Mountains, and made a surprise attack on the Fuyu Kingdom... Zhao Yun captured the twelve villages of the Fuyu Kingdom in three days and marched to the capital of the Fuyu Kingdom. The leader of the Fuyu Kingdom was panicked and his bare feet were disheveled.

Naked, he led Fuyu's civil and military ministers out of the city to surrender, and presented himself to the superior palace to express his allegiance to Cao Wei.

From the start of the Liaodong War to the surrender of Fuyu State.

This seemingly brutal war only lasted less than three months.

When early autumn arrives, the war ends.

When the good news reached Yedu, Cao Cao was overjoyed and invited the gentry and celebrities of Yedu to drink all night long...

This battle not only recaptured the four counties of Liaodong, but also expanded the territory thousands of miles away, taking over Goguryeo and Fuyu. Cao Wei's territory expanded countless times at once. This was the largest expansion since Cao Cao became king, except for the Xiongnu River.

Apart from the battle, it was the most glorious result. Even when Cao Peng fought in Hehuang, he could not compare with the results of this battle. After all, seizing Goguryeo's Fuyu Kingdom was a serious achievement of opening up territory and expanding its territory.

Cao Cao immediately ordered the establishment of two counties, Goguryeo County and Fuyu County.

At the same time, an edict was issued that in the next five years, 100,000 households should be relocated to the two counties to strengthen control over the two counties.

This is also the most different place between Cao Cao and previous Han Dynasty kings.

He doesn't care about false reputations, he cares about actual benefits. It is absolutely impossible for him to vomit out the benefits he has already received. Although many people opposed Cao Cao's capture of the two counties, saying that this was not the behavior of a benevolent and righteous man.

How could Cao Cao listen to their ideas? He was determined to establish two counties and completely control them.

The sixteenth year of Jian'an was undoubtedly a wonderful year for Cao Cao.

With the occupation of Goguryeo County and Buyeo County, the call for Cao Cao to proclaim himself emperor suddenly became louder.

But in the face of such calls, Cao Cao remained silent!

He did not say any more words about "wanting to burn the lonely man on the fire", and his words seemed extremely humble.

Cao Cao published an article in Yedu Daily, stating that he had no intention of usurping the Han Dynasty.

However, people with a discerning eye can see that Cao Cao's strategy is to play hard to get... His ambition is already obvious. And his achievements have given him enough capital. But so far, there has not been a suitable time for him to make it public.

Usurping the Han Dynasty. Therefore, his article is more like building momentum for himself to create a suitable opportunity.

However, just when Cao Cao was trying his best to create momentum, a major event happened, which suddenly diverted the world's attention.

At the same time, it also created the most favorable excuse for Cao Cao to usurp the Han Dynasty!
