"Smack!" "Smack!" "Smack!"

"Lord Cao, the lower official made a slip of the tongue for a while, and I hope Lord Cao is not strange!"

Liu Wei slapped his mouth left and right, and kept begging Cao Cao for mercy. Cao Cao said that he would take him to Kyoto to find the Son of Heaven for a verdict, Liu Wei was frightened, how could he still think too much, now he just hopes that Cao Cao can forgive, as for other things, Liu Wei can't take care of it.

"Oh, Lord Liu, you are also the head of a county, how can you do such an undignified thing. This official also knows that Lord Liu said the wrong thing, how can he take it to heart?"

Cao Cao waited for Liu Weifan's mouth to be red and swollen on both sides, and then he pretended to persuade him.

And Liu Wei naturally had a lot of resentment against Cao Cao in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it now, and he also thanked Cao Cao for his understanding.

"By the way, Lord Liu came to our army this time, I don't know what happened?"

Originally, Liu Wei also wanted to use the identity of Liu Bang's descendants to make a fortune, so that Cao Cao could see the face of their Liu family and withdraw the army from Xuzhou, or go from another road, so that their Liu family's face could be saved. It's just that Liu Wei still dares to put forward such an opinion now, this is not looking for death!

"Lord Cao, we misheard Tao Qian, a rebellious minister and thief, and blocked Lord Cao's army. Later, after investigation, we found out that it was Tao Qian who attacked the Yanzhou boundary of Lord Cao for no reason, and now Lord Cao's army is a righteous army, crusading against Tao Qian, a chaotic minister and thief, and the people of Feng County welcomed it, so let the lower officials come to comfort Lord Cao's army. At the same time, the people of Feng County are willing to give 100,000 stone grains and grass to Lord Cao, and please accept Lord Cao with a smile. ”

Feng County is Liu Bang's hometown, and after Liu Bang became the emperor, he was exempted from Feng County's taxes. Later, Wang Mang's rebellion, Liu Xiuping's rebellion restored the royal family surnamed Liu again, and the taxes in Feng County were only a symbolic payment. The land within a radius of 100 miles in Feng County is planted by the farmers of the Liu family, and this grain and grass are not ordinarily rich, and contributing 100,000 stone of grain is just a drop in the bucket.

"Haha, thank you so much, Lord Liu. ”

Cao Cao originally didn't want to have anything to do with Liu Wei, but he didn't expect to receive such an unexpected joy. 100,000 stone of grain is 6 million catties, and the soldiers have to eat about 3 catties of grain a day, and the 100,000 army can eat for 20 days. Cao Cao's grain grassland was only enough for one month, but now with these 100,000 stone grain and grass, he can hold on for some more time, and give Tao Qian a heavier blow on the battlefield in Xuzhou.

The Liu family in Fengxian County originally did not say that they would give Cao Cao 100,000 stone grain and grass, but Liu Wei talked to Cao Cao like this, but found that Cao Cao was a character, so he wanted to please Cao Cao, so he temporarily decided to give Cao Cao 100,000 stone grain and grass. No matter what Liu Wei said, it is also the county order of Feng County, and this decision can still be decided.

In fact, there is another reason why Liu Wei contributed these 100,000 stone grains and grass.

Originally, the Liu family in Fengxian County did not have the slightest intersection with Cao Cao, but because of Tao Qian's letter, the Liu family had a grudge with Cao Cao, especially Liu Wei, who was frightened by Cao Cao, and his face was swollen by himself. Liu Wei's friendship with Tao Qian is not very deep, Liu Wei thought that all the hardships he suffered were brought by Tao Qian, how to say that Tao Qian could not be relaxed. Therefore, after some thought, it was decided to send the 100,000 stone grain and grass.

When Liu Wei left, Cao Cao asked Xiahoudun to send Liu Wei away, of course, for the sake of the face of the 100,000 stone grain and grass.

And in Cao Cao's tent, Cao Cao frowned and pondered, not knowing what he was thinking. However, looking at the direction of Cao Cao's gaze, it is obviously the city of Feng County. After a long time, a cold light flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, and he seemed to have made a decision.

Cao Hong listened to the order and immediately escorted 10,000 stone grain and grass to the Xiahou Yuan army without delay. ”

Xiahoudun listened to the order, and the army set off immediately, and within five days, the official would see the walls of Pengcheng. ”

"The last general obeys!"

Without the obstruction of the Liu family's private soldiers in Feng County, Cao Cao's army would naturally be through Feng County without the slightest hindrance. Feng County is nearly 200 miles away from Pengcheng, and if you spend five days on the road, you can reach it. It's just that from Fengxian to Pengcheng, there are still two counties to be captured, so the time is a bit tight.

However, Cao Cao had already given the order, and Xiahoudun naturally wanted to carry it out. Cao Ren, as the vanguard, led 10,000 soldiers to open the way, Shuqiu County and Xiao County, the two cities, Cao Ren was stunned by 10,000 soldiers with a day's hard work, and the heavy losses naturally needless to say, 10,000 soldiers were only more than 1,000 people left in the end. However, such a heavy price made it possible for Cao Cao's army to pass through the two cities without hindrance when Cao Cao's army arrived. Cao Ren and the remaining more than 1,000 soldiers naturally wrote down their merits, as for the dead * thousand soldiers, who will remember them, once they will succeed, this is the truth.

Starting from Shanyang County, Cao Cao's soldiers lost more than 10,000. At the beginning, he brought 100,000 troops from Yanzhou, and Xiahou Yuan took 15,000 with him, but now there are only more than 70,000 left. However, for a hero like Cao Cao, more than 10,000 soldiers were just a small loss, and the other soldiers were tempered and became stronger in the battle, and these soldiers were what Cao Cao needed.

On the evening of the fifth day, Cao Cao's army had reached a place ten miles away from Pengcheng, and the walls of Pengcheng could be vaguely seen.

The patrol soldiers strengthened their vigilance, and spies were sent out ten miles away to pay attention to the movements in Pengcheng, and if there was any delay, military law would deal with it. ”

Xiahoudun gave orders in an orderly manner, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner, and Cao Cao was extremely satisfied.

Following Cao Cao's clan brothers, Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan were originally familiar with the art of war, able to command soldiers, and could become generals in the future. Now Xiahoudun has gradually approached this aspect, only Cao Hong does not like to lead the army. In addition, Cao Chun commanded the tiger and leopard cavalry, Li Dian, Le Jin and others were also able to command the army, and the generals under Cao Cao were already capable of taking charge on their own. As for the strategists, there are also many talents who give advice, manage logistics, and handle internal affairs, and Cao Cao is confident that he will be able to make the north his territory by giving him ten years.

After the camp was completed, Cao Cao gathered all the strategists and generals to discuss.

Cao Cao looked around at the strategists and generals, and asked loudly, "Who is the Pengcheng guard?"

The work of collecting enemy intelligence was carried out by Cheng Yu, so after Cao Cao's questioning, Cheng Yu stood up and returned: "My lord, the general stationed in Pengcheng this time is Tao Qian's henchman Cao Bao. This person has a little ability to command troops, not very strong. In addition, Cao Bao is also the speaker of the Cao family of the Xuzhou clan. And this time, Tao Qian's eldest son, the pottery merchant, also followed Cao Bao to Pengcheng, I am afraid that Tao Qian is preparing for the pottery merchant to accept Xuzhou. The potter is a little special. ”

Even Cheng Yu said something special, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Ahem, the potter is a good man, especially **, he likes it more. It is rumored that the potter once had an ambiguous relationship with Cao Bao, so the potter was stationed in Pengcheng with Cao Bao. ”

Sure enough, in any era, gossip is unavoidable. At the beginning, the potter expressed his love to Cao Cao, but was thrown out of the house by Cao Bao, and as a result, it spread to others, that is, Cao Bao had an unclear relationship with the potter. Later, the relationship between the two broke down and there was a conflict. If Cao Bao knew about the rumors about him and the potter, it was estimated that he would vomit more than three liters of blood.

"Ahem!"

Cao Cao saw that the atmosphere was a little lax, so he hurriedly coughed lightly, and sure enough, everyone's faces were serious. I only heard Cao Cao say: "We don't care about the matter of the pottery merchant and Cao Bao for the time being, what do you have to do for this attack on Pengcheng?"

"Lord, Pengcheng has been a strong city since ancient times, if it is attacked, I am afraid that it will be difficult to capture a million troops, our army is short of food and grass, if it is a protracted war, it is extremely unfavorable to our army. ”

Full Favor is engaged in the army, and has not made any achievements since following Cao Cao. At this moment, after listening to Cao Cao's inquiry, he was the first to stand up and answer. Of course, his words are obviously nonsense. The people present were Cao Cao's henchmen, and everyone knew that there was a shortage of food and grass in the army. However, since Satisfaction has spoken, it is obviously impossible to just say this nonsense.

"Zhongde said before that the potter is a good man, and the lord can start from this aspect. ”

"Oh, what a clever plan for Berning, come quickly. Cao Cao was intrigued by the favored Tiyì.

Man Zhong glanced at the outside of the tent, and then lowered his voice and said: "Lord, Xu Duwei is brave and strong, and he is a rare strong man. Zhong De said that the potter is a good man, and if the lord orders Xu Duwei to fight, he will definitely be able to attract the attention of the potter. If the potters go out of the city to fight, Xu Duwei can take the opportunity to take down the potters, we have the potters in hand, are we afraid that Cao Bao will not open the city?"

According to the trajectory of history, Xu Chu was discovered by Dian Wei and then introduced to Cao Cao. Although history has changed slightly because of the arrival of Yuan Chang, most of the trajectory still follows the wheel of history, and Xu Chu still threw himself under Cao Cao. As in history, Xu Chu was still Cao Cao's bodyguard, and because there was no Dian Wei to fight against Xu Chu, Xu Chu was even more valued by Cao Cao.

"Haha, Berning's plan is to go off the rails, you can give it a try. ”

Cao Cao laughed, but he didn't hide it. Xu Chu is a person who practices martial arts, and it is difficult for any wind and grass to escape his ears. Although Man Pet said it extremely quietly, he was actually heard by Xu Chu. As Cao Cao's strategist, it is within his duty to give advice, Xu Chu will naturally not be dissatisfied, but he is still a little depressed in his heart. Thinking that he is a dignified three-foot man, he even has to sacrifice the hue, of course, Xu Chu does not have much hue, in fact, he is a big and three thick **, in addition to attracting a good man like a potter, ordinary women rarely like Xu Chu's type. Of course, as long as it was Cao Cao's order, Xu Chu would naturally not object.

"Xu Chu listened to the order, tomorrow out of the battle battle, if you can capture the potters and capture Pengcheng, you will be credited with a great achievement. ”

"The last general will obey the order!"

Well, since Cao Cao has given the order, of course Xu Chu has no objection. However, for the initiator of the full favor, Xu Chu had to take some pains, and after the full favor promised to give ten jars of wine, Xu Chu let go of the full favor.

The next day, Cao Cao's big camp was buried in the pot to make rice, and when he traveled to the outside of Pengcheng, the flag covered the sky, and the drum shook the sky.

Subsequently, I saw Xu Chu dancing with a big knife, wearing silver chain mail, and rushing to Pengcheng, shouting, "Cao Leopard went out of the city to die." ”

However, it was said that Cao Bao knew that Cao Cao was short of food and grass, so he didn't plan to fight at all, he just wanted to defend Pengcheng to the death, and when Cao Cao's food was exhausted, he would naturally retreat. However, the potter who followed Cao Bao was also wearing silver chain mail, he saw Xu Chu at a glance, glanced at Cao Bao, and then looked at Xu Chu carefully, and suddenly, the potter felt that Xu Chu was a "handsome" character, and Cao Bao couldn't shoot it.

"General Cao, this person is rampant, wait for me to go out of the city and take him down, so that Cao Jun knows how powerful my Xuzhou soldiers are. ”

Although he was glad that the potter had shifted his attention from himself to Xu Chu, looking at Xu Chu's momentum, it must be an extraordinary martial art, how could Cao Bao dare to let the potter fight. If the potter is at fault, his guilt is not small.

"Tao Gongzi, this person is just a barbarian, why should Tao Gongzi go out in person, wait for me to call out the generals under my command to capture him. ”

Cao Bao didn't know Xu Chu's strength, so he wanted to send a general to test it. If it is too strong, let the potter know, and the potter's thoughts can be calmed, if it is too weak, then take it directly and give it to the potter, as long as the potter is not allowed to go out of the city to face the battle, there will be no problem.

No, Cao Bao's words caused dissatisfaction among the potters.

The potter thought to himself, that strong man is the person he likes, you Cao Bao said that he is a barbarian, what does this mean? Don't you look down on me? I think when I was in Xiapi, when the potter still liked Cao Bao, what Cao Bao did, the potter thought it was right. Even if Cao Bao threw him out of the mansion, the potter was not dissatisfied. Now, it is because of Xu Chu that the potter resents Cao Bao, and the sentence "I only hear the newcomer laugh, and the old man cry" is really very reasonable.

Subsequently, Cao Bao pointed out a lieutenant and asked him to go out of the city to face Xu Chu.

This lieutenant is not Cao Bao's henchman, so it is just right for him to test Xu Chu. If Xu Chu is too strong, Cao Bao will not feel distressed if he dies; if Xu Chu is too weak, if Xu Chu is too weak, and Xu Chu is captured, Cao Bao will also have the credit of employing people. Therefore, a casual move by the superior actually has a deep meaning.

I saw that the captain ordered thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and rushed to Xu Chu with a spear dancing at the city gate. This guy didn't know that Cao Bao regarded him as a flag, and he still wanted to show his hand in front of the potter and Cao Bao.

"Kill!"

But it was said that the captain rushed to Xu Chu on his horse, and Xu Chu shouted loudly, and immediately shocked the captain. Subsequently, Xu Chu's big knife was chopped, and the lieutenant didn't even have a chance to raise his gun to block, so he was slashed to death by Xu Chu.

"Captain Dian Du is brave and invincible!"

"Cao Bao is not out of the city to die!"

Seeing that their generals were so brave, the soldiers of the Cao army immediately shouted in unison, which shocked the Xuzhou soldiers in Pengcheng to the point that their legs trembled, and they wanted to open the city gate immediately and surrender to Cao Cao.

said that Cao Bao was also shocked by Xu Chu's bravery, but fortunately he sent a general to test it. Otherwise, if the potter goes out, he will either die or be captured by the other party. Now that Xu Chu is so brave, he shouldn't have any idea to come to the potter, right? However, Cao Bao's idea is destined to fail!

Cao Bao looked at the potter, only to see that the potter's eyes lit up, brighter than before. Seeing this, Cao Bao was immediately depressed.

"General Cao, this person is indeed brave, if he can take it and surrender it, I will add another tiger general to Xuzhou. The potter didn't look at Cao Bao's expression, but looked at Xu Chu excitedly and said excitedly.

The corners of Cao Bao's mouth couldn't help twitching, he knew that people were brave, who else could they send to meet them? Could it be that if they let the potters go out of the city and use beautiful men's tricks? It is estimated that in that case, people will directly kill the potters with a knife, and if they disgust people like this, wouldn't they be looking for death?

"Tao Gongzi, the enemy is in full swing, we should hold out, and when the enemy army is weak, it is the best policy to go out of the city to meet the party. As the old saying goes: one blow, then decline, three and exhaust..."

No matter what the pottery merchant said, he is also Tao Qian's son, and Cao Bao still has to be patient and advise. However, before Cao Bao finished speaking, the potter was already glaring at him angrily.

"General Cao, the Cao army is in full swing, is it possible that my Xuzhou soldiers are weaker than them? General Cao, you have been preventing my son from going out of the city to meet the battle, what is your intention? Is it not General Cao, if you want to join the Cao army, this son will not stop you. But, huh!"

The potter's words were not finished, but the meaning behind it was already clear. It's okay for you to surrender, but you have to think about your family in Xiapi.

"Tao Gongzi, you..."

Cao Bao is the chief general of Pengcheng no matter what, and the pottery merchant is just a deputy general, and Tao Qian asked the pottery merchant to follow Cao Bao this time, and also ordered the pottery merchant to obey Cao Bao's orders. Now that the potter is threatening him, how can Cao Bao not be angry? If he were a different person, Cao Bao would directly kill him on the spot, but the potter had a good old man, but Cao Bao couldn't move the potter.

"Okay, Master Tao, if you want to go to war, you will make a military order, if the guide is lost, you will be responsible for the consequences. ”

Cao Bao was angry, and he didn't want to care about the life or death of the potter, and Cao Bao also asked the potter to make a military order, even if the potter died, Tao Qian couldn't blame Cao Bao's head. Several major families in Xuzhou are related to the Cao family, and Tao Qian offended the Mi family again, even if the pottery merchant died, Tao Qian did not dare to touch Cao Bao. That's why Cao Bao dared to be so bold.

"Okay, this son is willing to make a military order, if Pengcheng is lost, this son will be fully responsible. ”

The potter is also young and vigorous, and at the same time, he was also taken care of by Xu Chu's "beauty", how could he take care of so much, and immediately set up a military order, led an army of 10,000, and went out of the city directly to meet Xu Chu.

"Whoever is coming, report the name!" the potter raised his spear and pointed at Xu Chu, and drank loudly.

"A person who is about to die, how can he know the name of the general!"

Xu Chu roared angrily, slapped his horse and danced his knife and rushed over.

"What a gut, who will capture this guy for this son!"

"Childe, I'm willing to fight!"

There are four strong men behind the potter, and they should drink at the same time. These four people are all tall and strong, brave and brave, and they can at least serve as centurions in the army. However, those in the know know that these four people are all "men" of potters. At this moment, the four of them were fighting at the same time, in fact, because they were jealous that the potter valued Xu Chu so much.

If Xu Chu knew that he was being remembered by four strong men, he didn't know if he would be so angry that he vomited blood.
