Gongsun Zan heard that Yuan Shao had obtained the entire Jizhou without spending one soldier and one foot, but he was fooled by Yuan Shao. He was very angry, so he asked his brother Gongsun Yue to ask Yuan Shao for an explanation. After Gongsun Yue saw Yuan Shao, he said that he wanted to divide Jizhou with Yuan Shao. This was an agreement between the two sides. Yuan Shao said that his brother Gongsun Zan would come to meet Shang together. When Gongsun Yue returned on the way, he was ambushed by a group of soldiers who said they were Dong Zhuo. Gongsun Yue was shot to death on the spot, so that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan formed a grudge.

Gongsun Zan was furious and said, "Yuan Shao lured me to attack Han Fu, but he secretly took things. Now he cheated me that it was Dong Zhuo's soldiers who shot my brother to death. How could he not repay this injustice?" So he raised all his troops and rushed to Jizhou.

Yuan Shao knew that Gongsun Zan led a large army and personally led the army to fight. The army of both sides met above Panhe River: Yuan Shao's army was east of Panhe Bridge, and Gongsun Zan's army was west of the bridge. Gongsun Zan immediately rode on the bridge and shouted to Yuan Shao: "Yuan Shao, you are a perverse person, why dare you betray me!"

Yuan Shao also rode his horse to the edge of the bridge and pointed at Gongsun Zan and said, "Han Fu has no talent, I am willing to let Jizhou give it to me. What does it have to do with you?"

Gongsun Zan said: "I used to think you were very loyal and righteous, so I recommended you as the leader of the alliance. What you do is really a wolf-hearted person. What are you standing in the world!"

Yuan Shao also said furiously: "Who can capture this thief?" Before Yuan Shao finished speaking, his general Wen Chou rode his horse and thrust his gun and went straight to the bridge. Gongsun Zan confronted Wen Chou at the bridge. After less than ten rounds of battle, Gongsun Zan could not resist and was defeated and left. Wen Chou took advantage of the situation to chase him. Gongsun Zan walked into the formation, and Wen Chou ran into Gongsun Zan's central army and rushed back and forth. The four powerful generals under Gongsun Zan fought together; they were shot by Wen Chou and stabbed one of the powerful generals to dismount. The other three generals were frightened to escape. After Wen Chou drove Gongsun Zan out of the formation, Gongsun Zan looked at the valley and fled.

A few days later, the two sides were fighting again. Yuan Shao ordered Yan Liang and Wen Chou to be the vanguard, each of which led 1,000 crossbowmen and divided into two teams. The one on the left was ordered to shoot Gongsun Zan's right army, and the one on the right was ordered to shoot Gongsun Zan's left army. Qu Yi was then ordered to lead 800 archers and 15,000 infantrymen, and arranged in the formation. Yuan Shao led tens of thousands of horse and stance troops to support him.

Gongsun Zan sent general Yan Gang as the vanguard. Gongsun Zan led the central army and stood on the bridge, erecting a large red circle of golden line-supervisors in front of the horse. From Chen time to Si time, Yuan Shao's army did not advance. Qu Yi ordered the archers to hide under the archers. As long as he heard the sound of cannons, everyone would shoot arrows together. Yan Gang shouted and shouted, and took Qu Yi straight to Qu Yi. When Qu Yi saw Yan Gang's soldiers coming, they all lay on the ground and did not move. Until it was very close, he heard a cannon sound, and 800 crossbowmen were fired. Yan Gang hurriedly retreated, but was beaten by Qu Yi and killed by the horse, and Gongsun Zan's army was defeated. Gongsun Zan's army wanted to come to rescue, but they were all shot by Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who were shot by the crossbowmen.

Yuan Shao's army advanced in unison and rushed to the edge of the Border Bridge. Qu Yi's horse arrived and first killed Gongsun Zan's flag-holding general and chopped down Gongsun Zan's flag-holding general. Gongsun Zan saw that he had chopped down the flag and fled down the bridge. However, he said that when Yuan Shao first sent a horse to look, he returned to Qu Yi to kill the general and chase Gongsun Zan's defeated soldiers. Yuan Shao was not prepared for this and led hundreds of soldiers with halberds under the tent, dozens of archers, and dozens of archers came out to watch. Yuan Shao laughed and said, "Gongsun Zan is incompetent!"

Yuan Shao and his men were talking and walking. While he was talking, Yuan Shao was riding a horse in front. He walked less than five miles. He heard loud shouts from behind the mountain, and a group of people flashed out. The three generals were Liu Xuande, Guan Yunchang, and Zhang Yide. After Liu Bei heard that Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao started the war, they came to help the battle because they were worried that Gongsun Zan would be in danger. At that moment, three horses and three weapons rushed forward and rushed towards Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao was shocked and his soul flew out of the sky. The sword in his hand fell under the horse. He quickly turned his head and fled. Yuan Shao's subordinates tried their best to save Yuan Shao across the bridge.

Gongsun Zan also took the army back to the camp. After ceremonies with Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Gongsun Zan said, "If Xuande had not come to save me, our army would have been defeated very miserable."

But Yuan Shao lost for a while and could not stand. The two armies refused for more than a month, and someone came to Chang'an to report Dong Zhuo. Li Ru said to Zhuo: "Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are both heroes today. Now fighting in Panhe, it is advisable to use the emperor's edict and send people to reconcile. The two of them are grateful for their virtues and will submit to the Grand Tutor."

Dong Zhuo said, "That's it." The next day, he sent the Grand servant Zhao Qi to go with an edict. The two came to Jizhou, and Yuan Shao went out to welcome him a hundred miles away, and then paid a reply. The next day, the two went to Gongsun Zan's camp to announce the edict. Gongsun Zan sent an envoy to write to Yuan Shao to make peace with each other. The two returned to the capital to report their orders.

However, Cao Cao had just taken over Dongjun and recruited talents everywhere. He currently had military officers: Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin, Yu Jin, Che Zhou and others; Wen officials include Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Liu Fu and others, and now he is full of talents. With the support of his friend Wei Hong, a great merchant in Chenliu, Cao Cao survived the New Year in a difficult situation. After the spring, he cleared out the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army around him, allowing the rebels, bandits and other thieves around Dongjun to flee.

In terms of internal affairs, Cao Cao had his subordinates, Liu Fu and other talents. With the efforts of Liu Fu and others, he organized the people to vigorously plant grain crops. After May, the summer grain harvest was harvested. Cao Cao had a little food and grass and immediately recruited troops to strengthen training. Cao Cao sent troops to clean up the Yellow Turban Army rebels in his territory.

Then, Cao Cao led a large army to legitimately clean up Yanzhou in the name of clearing out the Yellow Turban Army rebellion. In a short period of time, he controlled most parts of Yanzhou and took these places under his tent, and wiped out the thieves in these places, which greatly improved Cao Cao's strength.

When Cao Cao led his army to seize territory in Yanzhou, he also received the news of the Lu Ning army's cavalry in the north. Cao Cao held the news of the Lu Ning army in the north, but was very shocked in his heart. He could not have imagined that Lu Ning would destroy the 150,000 cavalry of the Huns' cavalry with just 50,000 Feixiong Army. How powerful is this? Such an army is very frightening. Cao Cao handed the news to his civil and military officials to watch. After everyone finished reading it, no one spoke, and they were all shocked by the content of the news.

Seeing that everyone was stunned, Xiahou Yuan carefully said to Cao Cao: "Lord, is the good news of this boy Lu Ning's real? It's not a trick that boy did? This is too unbelievable. We have all seen Lu Ning's Feixiong Army. Although we know it is an elite army, it is impossible to be so powerful?"

Cao Hong, the silly man, also said: "Lord, that boy Lu Ning will care about Xuanxu. His 50,000 Feixiong Army and the 150,000 Huns Allied Forces fought head-on. Isn't this a big boast? The 150,000 Huns' Iron Cavalry is not made of flour. It is not defeated by the 150,000 extremely fierce iron cavalry army. This is impossible, it is a delusion."
