Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    For a moment, Tao Qian seemed to have imagined Cao Cao's soldiers and horses attacking the city, and the bloody and miserable scene of wanton slaughter.

    "Hold on!! Meng De, calm down, I just promise you!"

    After Tao Qian finished these words, he felt as if half of his soul had been forcefully extracted, and his whole body was suddenly deflated.  On the surface, Cao Cao was still very angry and angry, but in fact he was laughing in his heart. After making a sudden gesture, the vanguard troops behind him who were about to charge immediately stopped in their tracks.  Elite.

    "Old man, I will give you three days to withdraw your troops from Pengcheng. In ten days, there will be no soldiers from Xuzhou left in Xiapi!"

    Cao Cao stared at Tao Qian with all his heart, and every word in his words was cold. How could Tao Qian dare to disobey Cao Cao's wishes at this moment, and he agreed humiliatingly.

    After that, the two of them didn't say a word anymore, and each rode back.  After Cao Cao returned to the formation, he ordered one hundred thousand elite soldiers to retreat thirty miles away and temporarily set up camp in the stronghold.  After Tao Qian returned to the city with a look of loss on his face, he remained silent and did not answer the soldiers' questions. He sat quietly on the tower in the city for an unknown amount of time. After an unknown amount of time, until the night fell, two generals were suddenly summoned and each issued an order.  As soon as he was sent to Xiapi to convey the order to withdraw the troops, he was also ordered to summon the soldiers and horses in the city to prepare their equipment and withdraw from Pengcheng three days later.

    At night, in Cao Cao's tent, Cao Cao was completely unfazed. When he faced Tao Qian today, his face was sad and angry, and he laughed loudly in the big seat.

    "Hahahaha. As expected by Fengxiao, Tao Gongzu has agreed to my request and given up Pengcheng and Xiapi. In this way, we can capture half of Xuzhou without a single blow. This time, Fengxiao, you can be said to have made a great contribution.  !¡±

    Guo Jia, who was sitting at the second seat on the left, had a calm and calm expression. He smiled softly, stood up slowly, and held his hands in greeting.

    "My lord, you are so complimentary. As a counselor, this is your duty."

    After hearing this, Jia Xu, who was sitting next to Guo Jia, smiled and said to Cao Cao.

    "Haha, Guo Jijiu is really humble. Guo Jijiu has never had contact with Tao Gongzu. Just based on his daily behavior, he can predict the prophet and know what is in his heart. Make a plan early so that the lord will not  With a little effort, half of Xuzhou was obtained.

    Therefore, no one of the lord's hundred thousand elite soldiers was injured, and they were all in peak condition. Coupled with the news that half of Xuzhou had fallen to the lord, the morale of the entire army was greatly increased.  And one month later, it was impossible for Tao Gongzu to find Taigong Cao.  His soldiers and horses were forced day and night by the power of the lord's 100,000 elite soldiers. At that time, morale must have been at its lowest and there was no fighting spirit. How could he resist the lord's 100,000 elite soldiers.

    At present, the lord will divide one hundred thousand troops into two armies. One month later, the two armies will be dispatched from Pengcheng and Xiapi. They will lead the army straight up. They will be defeated in every battle. In less than half a year, Xuzhou will be completely defeated.  The hand of the lord.  And without Guo Jijiu's ingenious plan, the lord would never have been able to obtain the entire Xuzhou so easily.  "

    Guo Jia listened to Jia Xu's praise, but he didn't look at all proud. He still looked calm, smiled slightly, and bowed slightly to Jia Xu.  Speaking of which, Jia Xu's temperament is really strange. Since Guo Jia came, he has quietly gained a lot of limelight without realizing it. Sometimes when Cao Cao was discussing strategies, when the strategy was almost finalized, Jia Xu still didn't say a word, as if he didn't exist.  General.  If Cao Cao hadn't been there, Jia Xu would have made a huge contribution when he captured Yanzhou.  Jia Xu had been replaced as military advisor long ago.  And Jia Xu would look up to Guo Jia from time to time, and he seemed to want to give up the position of military advisor to Guo Jia.

    "If a tree is beautiful in the forest, will the wind destroy it? Jia Wenhe, you are so smart."

    Guo Jia secretly cursed in his heart. In fact, many people understand some truths, but when it comes to putting them into practice, how many people can do it.  A person without great wisdom and forbearance would never be able to persevere through it to the end.

    And no one knows whether Cao Cao, a peerless hero, knows what Jia Xu is thinking.  But vaguely, in Cao Cao's mind, Guo Jia and Jia Xu have a much higher position than Guo Jia. This can be seen from Cao Cao's behavior in recent months that he always asks Guo Jia for his opinion on everything.  .  However, if there are some big plans that need to be decided, even if Cao Cao doesn't ask, Jia Xu will speak out and analyze them.  Just like this time when Cao Cao wanted to capture Xuzhou, Jia Xu did a lot of analysis for Cao Cao, allowing Cao Cao to see the overall situation more clearly.

    "The poisonous scholar" Jia Xu and the "ghost genius" Guo Jia are both top-notch counselors and geniuses.  Perhaps only Cao Cao, a peerless hero, can prevent it from dripping.

    But he said that Tao Qian agreed to Cao Cao's request and fulfilled the agreement. Three days later, 30,000 Xuzhou soldiers were withdrawn from Pengcheng. Ten days later, all Xuzhou soldiers who stayed in Xiapi were also withdrawn.  Cao Cao divided his 100,000 elite troops into two armies. The first army was led by Cao Ren. Jia Xu, as the army's military advisor, led Yu Jin, Li Dian, Le Jin and other generals, and 30,000 soldiers rushed to Xiapi.  The other army was led by Cao Cao himself, assisted by Guo Jia, Xiahou brothers, Dian Wei and other civil and military forces, and led 70,000 elite troops to guard Pengcheng.  Two armies are like two armiesThe huge evil tiger is peeping at the remaining two counties of Donghai and Guangling in Xuzhou.

    As for Tao Qian's return to the East China Sea, when the civil and military officials heard that Tao Qian had surrendered Pengcheng and Xiapi to Cao Cao, the main hall of the county government exploded.  The civil and military officials in Xuzhou quarreled with each other, and they all said that Tao Qian's move was undoubtedly to dedicate Xuzhou's hands to Cao Mengde.  The quarrel was so loud that Tao Qian was as big as one and two. Because of the incident involving Cao Taigong, the elderly Tao Qian could hardly sleep at night. His health became worse and worse, and he fainted without realizing it.  After everyone rescued him, they sent Tao Qian back to the Prefectural Mufu, and then called the doctor. Later, everyone heard that the doctor said that Tao Qian had fainted due to excessive pressure and physical exertion.  After everyone heard this, they calmed down. Xuzhou was in danger at this time. If something unexpected happened to Tao Qian, there was no need to think too much. Xuzhou would definitely fall into Cao Cao's hands.

    A few days later, Tao Qian woke up leisurely. After getting up in a hurry, the first thing he did was to call the soldiers and ask if they had found Grand Duke Cao.  When he heard that his search was fruitless and that there was less than half a month left in the one-month period, Tao Qian's originally pale and colorless face became even more bleak. He stopped taking any rest and hurried to the county government hall to summon everyone.  Civil and military officials come to discuss matters.

    Half an hour later, Xuzhou civil and military officials gathered together, all with anxious faces.  Tao Qian sat in the main seat and said that the deadline was approaching, so what if it was really impossible to find Taigong Cao.

    Everyone is afraid of death. How could Tao Qian voluntarily die unless it was absolutely necessary?

    "A few days ago, Chen learned that the lord had surrendered Pengcheng and Xiapi to Cao Mengde, and he felt that there must be a conspiracy. The lord thought that Cao Taigong was besieged and killed by desperadoes like Zhang Kai. With his old body in his seventies, how could he  Maybe he could escape. But the guard who escaped said that Taigong Cao was missing. We have been searching for him for many days, but he has not found his body, which makes us suspicious.

    What's more, given Cao Mengde's nature, if something unexpected happened to his father, he would definitely be filled with anger and hatred, order his troops to attack wildly, and wash out Xuzhou to avenge him.  How could we wait another month?  ?  "

    Cao Cao was extremely ambitious and had 200,000 elite soldiers, and he had as many fierce generals and counselors as an ox.  Chen speculated that this was most likely a play manipulated by Cao Cao himself.  The reason is to have an excuse to attack Xuzhou and expand his power!  "

    The speaker is from Guangling. His surname is Chen, his given name is Deng, and his courtesy name is Yuanlong.  Both this man and his father Chen Gui had extraordinary intelligence and came from wealthy families. The Chen family was the most powerful wealthy family in Xuzhou. A few years ago, all the boys in Xuzhou could sing a song.  If the Chen family is happy, Xuzhou will be settled; if the Chen family is angry, Xuzhou will be in chaos.  The Chen family are all tigers, Lord Fu, let me give you three points.

    From this we can see how powerful the Chen family is in Xuzhou.  In order to stabilize Xuzhou, Tao Qian gave Chen Gui and Chen high positions, and Xuzhou's major and minor policies had to be consulted with Chen and his son before they dared to be implemented.  The Chen family and his son were also top-notch counselors. They helped Tao Qian manage Xuzhou in an orderly manner, the people were happy, and there was never any rebellion.

    Chen Deng's wisdom has long been known to all civil and military officials. After hearing this, Tao Qian felt that this was very possible and shouted in grief and indignation.

    "Cao Mengde is so insidious and cunning!! I just regret that I fell into this man's trick and gave up Pengcheng and Xiapi to each other. I regret it so much!!!"

    "Wow!!!"

    Tao Qian was so angry that his white hair almost stood up, and his eyes were so wide that they almost popped out of his head. Filled with regret and anger, Tao Qian rushed to his heart, causing Tao Qian to spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

    "Lord!"

    When a group of civil and military officials in Xuzhou saw Tao Qian spurting blood, they hurriedly drank.  After Tao Qian spat out a mouthful of blood, although his face became even more bleak, he felt much better all over. Tao Qian waved his hand, opened his mouth full of blood, and asked, "How can all the civil and military forces defeat Cao Cao?"  Cao Cao bullied him and toyed with his applause. At this time, Tao Qian had made up his mind that he would rather die than let Xuzhou fall into Cao Cao's hands!

    "Fu Jun has been in Xuzhou for a long time, and the people are grateful. Although Cao's soldiers are numerous today, they made up excuses to invade Xuzhou because of their own selfish desires. This is really unethical and humane. But at the moment, there is still a lot of time to fight for avoidance.  After this disaster, although I am not talented, I am willing to use some small measures to solve the disaster in Xuzhou!"

    As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked and asked about the plan.  Tao Qian's pale face suddenly became filled with joy. He saw that the person who offered the advice was a native of Qu County, Donghai. His surname was Mi, his given name was Zhu, and his courtesy name was Zizhong.  This man's family is a wealthy businessman in the East China Sea. It is said that his wealth is so huge that he can buy half of the East China Sea County!

    Although Mi Zhu is a wealthy businessman, he is not like ordinary wealthy businessmen. He only knows how to profit.  He gave up his family wealth and helped the poor, and was deeply supported and praised by the people of Xuzhou. Later, Tao Qian heard of his benevolence and righteousness, and personally hired Mi Zhu to work as a driver.

    When Tao Qian heard this, he was so happy that he shouted.

    "Zizhong, teach me quickly."

    Mi Zhu bowed deeply, and then said attentively.

    "A certain person is willing to go to Beihai County in person and ask Kong Rong to raise troops for rescue. Kong Rong isThe twentieth generation grandson of Xizi, he has been smart since he was a child, respected by others, understands etiquette and justice, and is a great sage today.  Someone told Kong Rong about Cao Mengde's evil deeds, and Kong Rong would definitely send troops to help.  The ruler of the government and the people will not go out. When I order the reinforcements to arrive, they will attack together with the Xuzhou soldiers. We will definitely be able to repel Cao Mengde!  "

    "If Kong Beihai is willing to help, Xuzhou's crisis can be solved!"

    Tao Qian was overjoyed and immediately wrote a letter and gave it to Mi Zhu.  Mi Zhu took the letter and said goodbye to Tao Qian, and immediately ran back to her home. After preparing her luggage, she went to Beihai with the letter.  After Mi Zhu left, Tao Qian discussed with Chen Deng and other civil and military officials about recruiting troops and horses and guarding Donghai and Guangling.

    At this time, Cao Cao still didn¡¯t know that his fake show had been seen through by Chen Yuanlong, the captain of Xuzhou Diannong School.

    But it is said that the bandits are strong. Although the Baibo bandits in Nanyang and Bingzhou and the Black Mountain bandits in Qing and Yanzhou were all defeated by various princes.  But there are still many fish that slipped through the net and are still igniting wars around the world.

    In Beihai, half a month ago, the Yellow Turban Bandit Party Guanhaibu led tens of thousands of bandits to rush forward and besieged the city for several days.  Guan Hai threatened Kong Rong that he would borrow 10,000 stones of grain and grass, otherwise after breaking the city, he would slaughter all the people, old and young!
