"What? Tao Qian didn't give up? ”

Cao Cao's eyes widened, and a puzzled expression appeared on Cao Cao's face, not only him, but also Xiahoudun, Cao Hong, Chen Deng and others were puzzled.

Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and Xun You glanced at each other.

Xun You spoke first, "According to the spy report of Mingjingtang, the food in the inner city of Xiapi City is enough for them to barely support half a month, and they have no reason to take the initiative to attack continuously when we have just surrounded the inner city and the vigilance is at its highest, this is just futile and death." Therefore, I believe that one of the purposes of Tao Qian's move is to reduce the army and reduce food consumption. ”

"Since Tao Qian's thief heart is not dead, wouldn't it be easier for him to be defeated by reducing his army?" Kong Rongfa asked, indeed, everyone was also confused.

Xi Zhicai smiled coldly, "This, I found the reason on the battlefield, please come out of the camp with me to have a look." ”

Everyone followed Xi Zhicai to the outside of the big tent, and saw ten corpses lying in front of the camp, all looking at Xi Zhicai. Xi Zhicai turned over all the corpses with a long sword and explained, "These are the corpses of Xuzhou soldiers who died on the battlefield, but I found some problems. ”

"Lord, how do you hold your weapon?" As he spoke, Xi Zhicai handed Cao Cao a long lance, and Cao Cao held the lance tightly with one hand, explaining to Xi Zhicai the posture of holding the weapon. Xi Zhicai said, "Please take a look at the hands of these Xuzhou Army soldiers." ”

"Hands?"

"What's wrong with this hand? Ten fingers are complete. ”

Guo Jia didn't see any doorway, and Xun You didn't either, but Cao Cao and all the generals reacted. Those who practice martial arts, who have been fighting with weapons for many years, have already formed calluses in their hands, and some parts of the calluses will be particularly thick, while some parts will not have calluses. And the calluses on the hands of the corpse just now obviously did not appear because of the weapons in hand, and it is impossible for those parts to have calluses!

When Cao Cao explained it to everyone, everyone also understood.

"So, these people, either recruits, or, are not soldiers!"

A general on the side suddenly thought of something, and got started directly, flipped over the corpses, inspected the calluses on their hands, and then hugged Cao Cao and said, "Lord, these people should be farmers!" ”

Everyone saw that it was Han Hao, one of Cao Jun's two Tuntian generals. After everyone decided on a plan for a water attack, Cao Cao called Han Hao. Xuzhou has fertile land, smooth rivers and dense waterlines, which is extremely suitable for planting agricultural mulberry. Such a good piece of anointed land, how could Cao Cao destroy the heavens?

"On what basis?"

Han Hao Zhengse said, "The last general has been tuntian for many years, how can he not know the difference between the calluses that grow from holding farm tools for many years and the calluses that grow from holding weapons?" These people either don't have calluses in their hands, or they have calluses in the same position as the farmer's hands! ”

Xi Zhicai said that this was indeed the case, and then added, "These are enough to verify Gongda's point of view." The people they sent to the battlefield were either farmers and ordinary people who had been farming for many years, or those who had never been engaged in agriculture and had never been on the battlefield. The aim is to reduce consumption! ”

Guo Jia smiled, the protagonist was indeed the last to appear.

"And that's not all! Guo expected that Tao Gongzu was going to break through! ”

"Breakout?"

"He still has the intention of breaking through?"

Guo Jia ordered someone to take out the map and the big table in the tent, and drew his sword to point to the location of Picheng.

"Look, there are Surabaya and Yishui around Xiapi City. After our army broke the embankment, the water level of the two rivers rose enough to withstand some large warships. As Xuzhou, which is a near river, there must be some boats in Xiapi City, or they can be built temporarily. I expect Tao Gongzu to go south along Surabaya at the right time, and then go north to Huaiyin, Siyang, Fuling, or south to Xuyi, in short, to take refuge in Yuan Highway, and then Yuan Highway can also send troops to invade Xuzhou under the pretext of retaking Xuzhou for Tao Gongzu. ”

"But what basis does Feng Xiao have for saying that Tao Qian wants to break through the siege, instead of waiting for reinforcements or a moth before he dies?"

"This is also thanks to Wen Jugong. He mentioned that Beihai was besieged by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban in the past, which reminded me of some things. Spiegel Hall once had a detailed battle report on that battle. The fierce general named Tai Shici under Liu Miao used to be a great favor for the newspaper, and broke through the encirclement of 100,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turbans alone to find Liu Bei, who was still a plain minister at that time, to ask for help. You must know that even the two generals, Jun Ming and Zhong Kang, who are super first-class generals, cannot break through without any injury. ”

Kong Rong still remembered Tai Shi Ci's heroic posture and heavy temperament, and he was still quite emotional and excited, "Yes, when I said that I needed someone to break through the encirclement to ask for help, Ziyi volunteered to thank me for taking care of his mother before, Tai Shi Ci has always been grateful to repay the kindness, and now I am in trouble, and I am willing to break out of the encirclement and ask Liu Bei for help on my behalf."

You must know that the encirclement outside the city has been formed, and the encirclement of nearly 100,000 Yellow Turban Army, if you want to rush out, how difficult it is. I asked Tai Shi Ci how many soldiers and horses he needed, and after observing the city wall, Tai Shi Ci replied, 'Two people are enough!' ’

So I sent two warriors who were good at riding and archery to follow Tai Shici. After Tai Shici took the two soldiers to eat and drink, he was fully armed, brought bows and arrows, and went out of the city in a big way. The traitors outside the city saw that someone in the city came out, and they all raised their vigilance, but the city tower was very well guarded, and the traitors did not dare to get too close to Tai Shici. I saw that Tai Shici was at the gate of the city, and asked the two soldiers to each hold an arrow target, and he shot an arrow at the two arrow targets respectively, and then returned to the city with the two soldiers. ”

The general was puzzled when he heard it, and Guo Jia took over.

At that time, the Yellow Turban Army thought that Tai Shici was not going out of the city to break through, but just wanted to practice archery, and they didn't bother to care about the three people. The next day, Tai Shici went out again to practice archery; On the third day, the same plot played out again. In the past three days, Tai Shi Ci was like a "drama spirit", trying every means to consume the passion of the rebels, and some people even applauded Tai Shi Ci's superb archery skills and admired Tai Shi Ci. And on the fourth day, Tai Shi Ci came out with the two soldiers again, but the rebels didn't want to watch Tai Shi Ci shoot arrows anymore because they were tired of watching it. Some of the rebels were lying down, some were sitting, and they didn't even bother to glance at Tai Shici. Who would have thought that next, the "drama spirit" Tai Shici suddenly changed the script.
