In the seventh year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao, the hero of Hebei Province, died of illness, which was like a thunder exploding in the northern sky. The once behemoth instantly split into a chess game where brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang competed. Ambition and suspicion replaced the dignity of the fathers, and the flames of internal strife were ignited before external enemies.
The heroic Cao Cao keenly grasped the opportunity behind this thunder. In the name of mediation, he actually carried out annexation. The army crossed the river and headed north, using both cunning and iron fist. Li Yang's "helping hand", the siege of Yecheng, the desperate breakout by Yishui... Cao Cao skillfully turned the internal conflicts of the Yuan family to his own advantage, and made progress step by step.
When the two brothers were captured and the other escaped, and the hinterland of Hebei fell into the middle of the river, Cao Cao's eyes had crossed the Great Wall and looked beyond the wall. The thunderous battle at Bailang Mountain completely eliminated the remnants of the Yuan family and the Wuhuan border troubles.
This is a conquest that begins with thunder and ends with thunder. See how Cao Cao took advantage of the situation to break the situation and turned the tragedy of brothers' feud into the foundation ceremony for his unification of the north.
