0207 Besieged

200,000 troops marched to Xuzhou, this time Cao Cao went east to Xuzhou with only three generals, Cao Hong Xiahou and Xiahou Yuan, as for Cao Ren stayed to guard Yanzhou, so it seems that although Cao Cao was extremely angry, his mind was still relatively clear.

The first one to jump out and intercept was Jiujiang Taishou Bianrang, thinking that he was good friends with Tao Qian, and had dinner with Cao Cao a few times, so he brought 5,000 soldiers and horses to stop Cao Cao, saying that he wanted to persuade him to fight, and he struggled to beat his chest and said: "Cao Mengde, if you still have a friend of mine in your eyes, go back the same way, if you don't have a friend of mine in your eyes, then please step on my chest." ”

Cao Cao didn't answer, just made a gesture, Xiahoudun immediately led 10,000 cavalry to kill the past, Bian Rang's 5,000 soldiers only held out for three minutes and then fled in all directions, and Bian Rang himself was captured alive by Xiahoudun on the spot, the soldiers swarmed up, tied it into a zongzi and threw it in front of Cao Cao.

"Step on your chest, huh? Although this kind of request is a bit strange, I will give you a good face. Cao Cao turned over and dismounted, and stepped directly on his chest from the side.

After cleaning up the borders, Cao Cao somehow divided his troops into three places, Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan each led 50,000 troops to leave, and the Chinese army galloped all the way directly to the city of Xuzhou.

Tao Qian opened the city gate and stepped forward to explain, Cao Cao bent his bow and arrows at Tao Qian, seeing this, Tao Qian could only return in a huff.

"Except for the north gate, enclose the other three sides." Cao Cao coldly ordered: "Zilian, shoot arrows into the city, tie a letter to the arrow, and inform the people in the city to go out of the city to the north gate within three days, and after three days, all those who stay in Xuzhou City will be executed!" ”

Cao Hong gave up his hand and left.

Three days passed in a flash, and what surprised me was that according to the spies, except for thousands of soldiers entering the north gate, not a single citizen came out, and it seemed that they were all desperate to live and die with Xuzhou City.

Just when Cao Cao was about to give the order to attack Xuzhou, the gate of Xuzhou was opened, and a group of people came out of the city, at the moment of seeing this group of people, I was very surprised, the first leader was actually Liu Bei, followed by Guan Yu Zhang Fei, and there were more than a dozen generals.

Then he came back to his senses, according to the records of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, after Tao Qian was surrounded by Cao Cao, didn't he go to Liu Bei and Kong Rong for help, and the famous Tao Qian Sanlet Xuzhou in history also happened at this time. Murong Xiu whispered to me, in addition to Liu Bei, there is also a grandmaster-level master.

I asked who it was, following the direction of Murong Xiu's finger, I saw a little soldier with clear eyebrows standing behind Guan Yu, feeling quite familiar, Zhao Yun muttered softly next to the Peach Blossom Nunnery, and immediately remembered that this little soldier was a nun in the Peach Blossom Nunnery, and it seemed that her name was Miaojing.

scolded in his heart, Liu Bei himself is a grandmaster-level master, plus Miaojing, a high-level grandmaster, even if we have four grandmaster-level masters on our side, their strength is not weaker than ours at all, after all, there is a level gap between the senior grandmaster and us.

If it goes on like this, I must go to the Peach Blossom Nunnery to invite the Peach Blossom Master out and clean up these little nuns. was thinking about it, but Cao Cao shouted: "Liu Bei, what do you mean by coming out?" What about Tao Gongzu? ”

Liu Bei's gaze swept over me, and then swept over Xiaolongma Murong Xiu and Guo Jia, then he looked at Cao Cao, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Fuck, how is your mother?" ”

Cao Cao took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said coldly: "Liu Bei, don't take advantage of your tongue, since you can go out of the city, you must have something to rely on." ”

Liu Bei laughed: "Cao Cao, Cao Cao, can I show you something?" ”

Cao Cao frowned and said, "Don't sell it, hurry up." ”

Liu Bei smiled, took out a leather bag from the side of the horse, tore it open and fell to the ground, and something rolled out of the leather bag.

"Gong Zu!" Cao Cao exclaimed.

What the? This head is actually Tao Qian's head? What the hell is going on? Didn't Liu Bei come to help Tao Qian break the siege? Damn, don't play cards according to history, it's too unscientific.

"Cao Cao'er, do you think I don't know? Partnered with Tao Qian and the two to formulate such a plan, first pretending that his father was killed by Zhang Kai, and then taking the opportunity to attack Xuzhou, some small forces between Yanzhou and Xuzhou thought that you were just taking advantage of the road and did not take precautions, but unexpectedly you secretly sent Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong to attack these forces like lightning, so that some forces between Xuzhou and Yanzhou were cleaned up by you, and you really played a good show, of course, your target is not these small forces, but Kong Rong and me, As long as Kong Rong and I lead the army into Xuzhou, you will cooperate with Tao Qian and wipe us out. The corners of Liu Bei's mouth showed mockery: "Meng De Xiaoer, is that what I said?" ”

Cao Cao's face was cloudy, and he said after a while: "So you will plan and kill Tao Gongzu." ”

When he said this, he undoubtedly admitted what Liu Bei had just said.

Liu Bei laughed: "Of course, Xuzhou, don't be in vain, come on, come on, welcome you Cao Cao to attack Xuzhou City, I also want to learn Wenxi, see if I can use my 5,000 soldiers plus hundreds of thousands of people in the city to withstand the attack of your 100,000 army." ”

I couldn't help but snort coldly: "I said Liu Bei Xiaobi, don't forget, we still have Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan's 100,000 troops, besides, now that the gap between Yanzhou and Xuzhou has been opened, and the army can be transferred at any time." ”

A strange look flashed on Liu Bei's face: "Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan's troops?" I'm afraid it has been intercepted and killed by the coalition army of Kong Rong and Yuan Shu, and Zhang Miao's army has already begun to attack Yanzhou, Cao Ren is afraid that it will be difficult to protect himself, let alone send troops to support you, by the way, the general who attacked Yanzhou is Lu Bu. ”

Seeing that we were no longer silent, Liu Bei was even more proud: "Cao Cao, aren't you full of benevolence, righteousness and morality?" Now that the city walls are guarded by ordinary people, you should come and attack it...... Hahaha, let's go, go back to the city to have a glass of wine and listen to a little song and say a little hello, what more can I ask for in my life. After speaking, he waved his hand, and the group turned around and returned to the city.

Cao Cao took a deep breath and ordered to set up camp.

After a while, Cao Cao called me to his tent and beckoned me to sit down, and he smiled bitterly: "Axi, I not only hide this matter from you, but also from Wen Yuanman Chengdu, and even Zilian and them, I only sued them on the way." The reason I did this was because I was worried that there were spies on our side, and if it was leaked, the plan would not work. ”

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "I understand this." ”

"Now you also know the situation, Liu Bei dared to reveal his plan in front of me, there must be a backhand, I am worried that if I go back to rescue Yanzhou now, I will definitely fall into his plan."

"Aren't you going to the rescue?" I was amazed.

"Yanzhou is already my base camp, I naturally want to go to the rescue, the reason why I want to camp here is to give Liu Bei an illusion, thinking that I will attack Xuzhou regardless of a qiē, in fact, I plan to retreat tonight, but I need you to cover." Cao Cao said slowly.

"What do you mean?"

"I will give you 10,000 soldiers and horses, and when I retreat, you are responsible for feints to attack Xuzhou, and I will give you this task, because I believe in you, you will definitely be able to lead these 10,000 soldiers back safely." Cao Cao patted me on the shoulder.

I discussed some details with Cao Cao, and when I said goodbye to Cao Cao and turned around to go out, I suddenly turned around and asked, "Boss, let me ask you something, where is your old man now?" ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Do you think I will use my father's life to make a bitter plan?" I, Cao Cao, are not so vicious, as early as when I ambushed the Montenegrin army, I had already secretly taken him to Hanoi. ”

I was relieved to leave, if Cao Cao actually used his father as bait, then this kind of person is naturally not worthy of my assistance.

The night gradually covered the land, just when Cao Cao was about to start implementing the retreat plan, a cannon rang out, and an army was killed on the left side, about 50,000 or so, and the banner said a 'Sun', needless to say, this is Jiangdong Sun Jian's army, at the same time, the right wing also rushed out tens of thousands of horses, and the banner said 'Yuan', if it was Yuan Shu and Kong Rong who intercepted and killed Cao Hongxia Hou Yuan, then this army is very likely to be Yuan Shao's department.

Cao Cao's face changed greatly, and he shouted to retreat, however, there was also a earth-shattering shout from the rear, and then soldiers came to report, and the rear was blocked by Liu Biao's army.

For a moment, we were surrounded by a lot of surrounding.

"Cao Cao'er, don't you want to be arrested?" Liu Bei's laughter sounded on the city wall, I don't know what kind of Taoist technique this guy used, his voice was like thunder, resounding throughout our entire camp, and the war horses screamed and neighed, restless.

I scolded angrily, there are almost 200,000 troops surrounding us, even if the Ruyi portal can teleport soldiers again, it will not be able to solve the immediate problem, and Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan's troops are estimated to be entangled by Kong Rong and Yuan Shu's army, and it is difficult to protect themselves, let alone rescue.

What the hell is this rhythm that is going to kill me.

At a loss, Cao Cao and Xiahoudun rode over, saw me and said directly: "Right now in front of Xuzhou City, on the left is Sun Jian, on the right is Yuan Shao, and behind is Liu Biao, we have to find the weakest side to break through." ”

Needless to say, Liu Bei of Xuzhou City occupies the city wall, not to mention fierce people like Zhang Fei, plus Taoist masters like Liu Bei and Miaojing, don't even think about breaking through from this direction, Yuan Shao's troops are strong and strong, there are masters such as Yan Liangwen and Zhang He, Gao Lan, and the power should not be underestimated. As for Sun Jian's subordinates, although they are not very familiar with his generals, they should also be extremely effective in fighting against Cao Cao in the future.

In this way, the weakest should be Liu Biao, right? I hesitated and asked, "Do you mean the direction of Liu Biao?" ”

Xiahoudun shook his head and said: "Liu Biao has Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Wen Ping and other generals, all of whom are in the top 30 masters on the master list, and their strength is very strong. ”

"And which way do you want to rush?" I asked, stunned.

Cao Cao raised his chin at Xuzhou City, and said in a deep voice: "Xuzhou City!" ”R1058
