Chapter 349: The Old Man Reunites

"Li Anmin, are you guilty?!" In the meeting hall of Tan County, Cao Cao asked Li Wei with a cold face.

"Wei Shi does not know what crime he has committed, please make it clear to the Lord. Li Wei said calmly.

"Before setting out on the expedition, I have ordered Zidan to convey to you a secret bag with a secret order, have you ever received it?" Cao Cao asked.

"I did receive the bag and read the secret order inside. Li Wei replied.

"I've already read the secret order, why did I violate it?!" Cao Cao asked angrily.

"Dare to ask the lord, do you still want to be in the world?" Li Wei asked with his fists clenched.

"What does this have to do with your violation of military orders?" Cao Cao asked instead of answering.

The so-called king is the boat, and the people are the water; water can carry the boat or overturn the boat! The meaning here, the lord must know better than Wei...... "Li Wei stopped talking and stood there quietly.

Although Cao Cao had no expression on his face, he was already shocked by Li Wei's words.

This is really incisive...... No wonder the lord values Captain Li so much, and you finally understand the reason. If these warnings had been spread to the world as soon as possible, there would have been no Yellow Turban Rebellion. Xun Yu bowed and saluted Li Wei and said.

"Let's not do that...... After you enter the city, why do you only kill merchants or scholars?" Cao Cao asked, pressing his hand on the bamboo slip on the table. These bamboo slips were all accusations from the relatives of the murdered scholars or wealthy merchants who cried to Cao Cao, and were handed to Cao Cao by some local officials.

"The rich businessmen killed by Wei are all for the rich and unkind, and the wealth of this generation is all obtained by exploiting the people; now killing a rich and unkind person, and sharing his ill-gotten wealth can save thousands of ordinary people and gain the hearts of the people, and can also enrich the treasury and military resources, Wei can't see anything wrong......" Li Wei's explanation made Cao Cao choose to ignore this question, who let his answer just scratch Cao Cao's itch.

"The king is the boat, and the people are the water...... Does the lord know what the nobles are?" asked Li Wei.

"I want to hear about it. At this time, Cao Cao's anger had dropped a lot, and when he calmed down, he became even more curious about Li Wei's remarks.

"The gentry are nothing but oars, which can speed up, but can move forward with the current without oars, so oars are dispensable. Li Wei's words immediately caused a discussion in the council room, because many of them were from the noble family.

An Min's words are biased...... If there is no scholar clan in the world, how can internal affairs be maintained?" Xun You was born with the surname Xun in Yingchuan, and the surname Xun is one of the scholar clans, so it naturally has to be the dialect of the scholar clan.

"Gongda misunderstood...... If the oars are strong, they can be used for acceleration, but if they are rotten, why use them?" explained after a pause.

"The people killed by Wei are all people who wear the skins of the warriors and do the things of beasts, does Gongda want to defend these beasts?" Li Wei's words could not help but block all the words Xun You wanted next.

After listening to Li Wei's explanation, Cao Cao didn't say anything, but just sat on the main seat and thought.

……

In the summer of the first year of Xingping, Cao Cao raised his army again and continued to march from the East China Sea to Xuzhou, and all the counties along the way surrendered and surrendered without resistance.

According to the original history, Cao Cao would give the order to slaughter the city because of the anger in his heart, and during the conquest of Xuzhou, he killed as much as he could, losing the support of the people and making many capable men and wise men who originally wanted to serve retreat.

However, here, because of Li Wei's persuasion and the persuasion of other strategists, Cao Cao let go of the hatred in his heart and did not issue an order to slaughter the city, so that Li Wei's early efforts were not in vain, and this is why the counties along the way mentioned above surrendered.

Because of the above things, Cao Cao did not lose too many troops, and his troops came to the city of Xuzhou, and they set up camp to rest.

Seeing that his army could not resist the advance of Cao Cao's army, Mu Taoqian of Xuzhou had to send envoys to ask for help from the neighboring princes......

"Are you that Beihai Kong Rong and Qingzhou Tian Kai both sent troops to support Tao Qian?" Cao Cao asked a scout who had come to report the news.

"Yes, my lord. In addition, we also found out that Sun Zhan, the prince of Beiping, also sent Pingyuan to order Liu Bei to lead an army to support. ”

"You go down first. Cao Cao waved his hand, and the scout immediately fell back and withdrew from the tent.

"Gongda, what is the best way to deal with it?" Cao Cao asked Xun You.

Among the three reinforcements, only Gongsun Zhan's reinforcements are quite powerful. I heard that Liu Bei's two righteous brothers were no less than fierce generals in Anmin, so You Jianyi was led by Yangwu Captain Li Wei to wait for the Langya area in the north of Xuzhou. Xun Youji bowed and said.

"An Min, do you have the confidence to resist these three reinforcements?" Cao Cao asked Li Wei.

"Hmm...... An Min only needed one general, 5,000 archers and 5,000 heavy infantry, plus 1,000 tiger cavalry, to ensure that the reinforcements could not pass through the Guò defense line. Li Wei thought about it for a while and said.

"Soldiers and horses are not a problem, who needs to be called?" Cao Cao continued to ask.

"Fengyi Lieutenant Xu Rong. Li Wei replied with a fist clenched.

"Yes. Cao Cao waved his hand and granted Li Wei's request.

……

Liu Bei took Guan Zhang and the others to Xuzhou non-stop, in addition to the white horse Yicong who was borrowed from Gongsun Zhan, and an old friend Li Wei knew, Zhao Yun, who had been promoted to Sima of other departments. In addition to them, Tian Kai and Kong Rong's soldiers and horses were naturally indispensable, but because they were afraid, they let Liu Bei's army be the vanguard.

"Big brother, this time I must find that son surnamed Li to fight again!!" Zhang Fei shouted at Liu Bei while riding his horse.

Although Guan Yu didn't speak, the battle intent revealed in his squinted eyes made it clear that he was the same as Zhang Fei.

"An Min, we're going to meet again. This time, let's have a real battle. Zhao Yun, who was dressed in white robes and silver armor, rode a white horse and thought to himself.

"Big brother, the front is the most dangerous Langya Road in the north of Xuzhou, as long as we wait for Guò to get here, we can ......" Guan Yu's words were interrupted by a trumpet cannon without saying anything, and I saw a large number of soldiers and horses emerging from the left and right of the road to block the way, and the banner was embroidered with the word 'Cao' on a black background and gold font.

Li Wei held the silver dragon heaven-shaking halberd in his hand, and the divine horse under his crotch, wearing a black armor and dark battle robe in the middle of the road, and behind him were Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen and Xu Ding.

In the dangerous road, the heavy infantry stood in front of the battle with thick shields in their hands, and the archers hid behind the shields, and the strong bows in their hands were already fully drawn, and they only waited for the order to release the arrows. The whole formation was in a square circle, the formation was presided over by Xu Rong and Chen Guo, and the rear army was pressed by Feng San.

"Say goodbye to the Tiger Prison, don't you come here to be harmed, right?" Li Wei held the Silver Dragon Heaven-shaking Halberd, with a faint smile on his face, and said to the coalition army in front of him.

"It's you?!" Zhang Fei looked at the son who let himself taste failure four years ago, and shouted angrily at Li Wei.
