Just as Pei Qing was busy rewarding the heroes, the troops led by Cao Cao's general Shi Huan and Le Jin won victory in Hanoi. The officials and wealthy families from all over the country all surrendered. In less than half a month, Cao Cao occupied the counties and states in eastern Hanoi.

At this time, Yuan Shao, who was in Yecheng, was very dissatisfied after hearing the news, because he had long regarded Hanoi as his backyard, but the news of Zhang Yang's killing was very sudden, and his reaction was a little full. In addition, when he proposed the topic of whether to take the opportunity to occupy Hanoi, there was a fierce debate within his camp. Staff Tian Feng and Ju Su all opposed it clearly, while Xu You, Feng Ji and others strongly supported it. When Yuan Shao waved his hand and finally made a decision, the five western counties in Hanoi had been occupied by Xu Huang, and Cao Cao later led his army to occupy more than a dozen counties in the east.

"Hmph, this Cao Aman dared to seize food from my mouth. It's really hateful! If I hadn't dragged the main force of the Black Mountain Bandits, how could Cao Aman successfully occupy Hanoi?" Yuan Shao was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wished he could tore Cao Cao apart.

Feng Ji, who was standing beside him, was also fanning the flames and nodding, "This Cao Mengde is indeed not a thing. It is really funny that he actually did this. Even if he has the ability to occupy Hanoi, can he still have the ability to defend it?"

"Hmph, I originally thought that he was in the alliance with me. He basically didn't care about him if he took a little advantage, but I didn't expect that he was so ungrateful. Since that's the case, I didn't care about taking it back."

Yuan Shao smiled coldly. He knew that this was not just a matter of face. It was because Hanoi was a little close to Yecheng. Once occupied by others, it could threaten Yecheng's safety at any time.

Therefore, Yuan Shao then ordered Yan Liang to be the vanguard and to lead a 30,000 army to attack Hanoi and seize Hanoi from Cao Cao. On the one hand, it was to shock Cao Cao, and on the other hand, it was to ensure the safety of Yecheng.

Tian Feng sneered and said lightly: "Now our army can't even ensure safety in Jizhou. We are still thinking about being greedy for Shu. It's a big mistake for you to do this. Occupy Hanoi will not only be of no benefit to our army, but will cause endless trouble. According to Tian, ​​the lord should be careful to guard Jizhou, work hard to develop production, and eliminate the black bandits. When Jizhou is fully developed, it means to take Youzhou when conditions are ripe. In this way, the lord will connect the three states of Youjiqing together. At that time, wouldn't the lord point to attack? Which one can compete in the world? But now, the lord's effect can only be counterproductive. Tian advises him and asks the lord to think twice."

In fact, as far as matters are concerned, Tian Feng's wisdom is indeed extraordinary. It is actually very rare to be able to see through the situation at a glance and find measures to deal with it.

However, his suggestion was ridiculed, saying that it was a pity that if he didn't take it, it would be a pity that Cao Cao's army won, but after all, the soldiers were exhausted after all the battles, which was a good time to recover Hanoi.

Tian Feng opened his mouth and was about to refute, but he didn't expect that he suddenly broke into a small school from outside the tent and saluted respectfully at Yuan Shao: "Lord, there is a man who claims to be Cao Cao's envoy outside the camp to pay homage."

"Oh? Cao Cao's envoy? Humph, Cao Aman, is it because he is malicious to come to see me at this time? Let him come in, but I want to see what he has to say?"

Yuan Shao issued an order angrily, asking Cao Cao's envoy to come in to see him.

"The lower official Cao Sikong's account is Cao's servant, and the lower official Cao, is engaged in the visit of General Yuan." As soon as they met, the other party named Yuan Shao's identity straight to the point, and then said: "I guess Mr. Yuan has heard of it. In the first few days, the new Bingzhou governor Yang Feng killed the Hanoi prefect Zhang Yang who was kind to him, which aroused the anger of the world. The remaining guards of Xijing, Mr. Pei and Mr. Sikong, all sent troops to attack him, but how could they know the result? Mr. Pei actually ordered soldiers to attack Yewang County and four counties in the east without authorization, and did not call the court. These four counties,

It was Cao Gong who prepared for Yuan Gong, because if the contribution made to the recovery of Hanoi, is there anyone in the world who can compare with Yuan Gong? If Yuan Gong had not delayed the main force of the Black Mountain bandits, how could we easily recover the counties in Hedong? So in desperation, my Cao Gong had to order the recovery of more than ten counties west of the Yewang. Fortunately, everything went smoothly. With the blessing of God and the power of the general, we recovered more than ten counties in the east. Now the officials have been ordered by Cao Gong to hand over these more than ten counties to Yuan Gong, and asked Yuan Gong to accept it with a smile..."

"What, what? Meng De gave me these dozen counties that were finally captured for free? I heard it right?" Yuan Shao was so incredible when he heard this, because Cao Cao had never done such a loss?

Dong Zhao smiled faintly and said, "I know that Cao Gong didn't believe it. Okay, I'll just talk straight to the point. Now there are too many places bordering Pei Qing, especially in Hanoi. For our army, we can't resist Xu Huang's attack at all. However, you are different, because your prestige is in the four worlds, the Yuan family of Runan, the three disciples and the former officials are all over the world. In addition, you have 100,000 troops under your command. With such a force, even if you are in the world, how can you care about a small Hanoi? In fact, to put it bluntly, the reason why we are willing to hand over the dozen counties in the eastern part of Hanoi is that we want Yuan Gong to be our barrier and help us fight Pei Qing's threat together."

"I knew it was like this." Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction, and his suspicion of Cao Cao disappeared. He said with a smile: "But I like this excuse very much. Although Pei Qing's child is a little capable, it is not as powerful as everyone boasted. Mr. Dong, please go back and tell Meng De that this matter is settled. I will immediately send someone to accept Hanoi and send another Hanoi prefect, which is different from the pseudo Hanoi prefect appointed by Pei Qing. As for the safety there, please rest assured. We will definitely not let Pei Qing's power take another step east of the Yewang City!"

Then Yuan Shao appointed his nephew Gao Gan as the prefect of Hanoi and ordered him to lead 10,000 soldiers to quickly enter Hanoi County to complete the occupation of more than a dozen counties and countries formulated by Cao Cao. At the same time, he was also on guard against Pei Qing's army. Once he found any accidents in the Hanoi defenders, he would immediately report to him and he would immediately complete the support as quickly as possible.
