"Thirteen cities in seven days! Miaocai is really worthy of the name of the god general! ”

Cao Cao looked at the battle report in his hand and exclaimed.

"Among us, Miao is the one who is the best at running thousands of miles to fight. It can travel 500 miles in three days and 1,000 miles in six days, and it is natural to be able to achieve such a record. As the representative of the Cao clan in the army, Cao Ren said proudly.

"Naturally, I'm waiting for the Cao family to be after Xiahou Ying! It is only natural that there are so many fierce generals. Cao Cao laughed.

This is not Cao Cao's own boasting, the Cao family can be said to be the family with the most generals in the late Han Dynasty.

It's just that now, Cao Cao has Cao Ren, Xiahou, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Chun and other generals under his command.

Among them, Cao Ren is naturally the number one general, good at defense and commanding large-scale operations, and is completely handsome. After the defeat of Cao Cao's Battle of Chibi, he was able to wrestle with Zhou Yu in the south, and he held out for a year without defeat, and this person's ability was almost no less than Zhang Liao.

Among the remaining generals, Xiahou has a violent temperament and is good at attacking; Xiahou Yuan has an impatient temperament and is good at rapid marching; And Cao Chun is one of the commanders of the most elite troops under Cao Cao, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and in history it was Liu Bei who led the troops led by this cargo in Changbanpo.

"The march is so smooth, I'm afraid that Tao Qian and the generals of Xuzhou are already frightened, and Xuzhou City is at your fingertips!" Xiahou Road.

"Generals must not be careless! Although Tao Qian is old and weak, the generals of Xuzhou are just mediocre people. But Tao Qian still has 30,000 Danyang elite soldiers under his hands! Cheng Yu said calmly.

Although Cheng Yu is a strategist, he is a strong man, and his ability to command troops is not weak, so he can be half a general.

Unlike ordinary strategists, Cheng Yu knows a lot about military operations. He knows the elite of Danyang elite soldiers, and the Jiangdong soldiers who made his fortune by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, are actually Danyang soldiers now.

Li Ling, the grandson of Li Guangzhi, a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty, once led 5,000 Danyang soldiers to attack 80,000 Xiongnu elite cavalry, and tried his best to fight to the death in the absence of reinforcements, and finally only 400 people were left to withdraw to the pass, and the commander Li Ling was forced to surrender, and the deputy marshal Han Yannian died in battle. With the courage of the Huns, five thousand Danyang soldiers were able to make Shan Yu frightened, almost retreating, and finally found out that Li Ling had no help before he dared to attack, and the Danyang soldiers were good at fighting.

Basically, if you don't consider the perversion of trapping the camp, the Danyang soldiers were the strongest infantry in the late Han Dynasty. Later, it evolved into the White Ear Soldiers, the Death Battalion, the Relief Battalion, and the soldiers who supplemented the trapped camp and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Cao Cao once praised and said: "Danyang Mountain is dangerous, the people are fruitful, good martial arts, noble strength, and the land of elite soldiers." ”

Tao Qian was still able to gain a foothold in Xuzhou, where the family was rampant, in the troubled times, relying on 30,000 Danyang elite soldiers.

And when Liu Bei was supporting Tao Qian, Tao Qian gave thousands of Danyang soldiers to Liu Bei. Later, with Liu Bei's transfer to the army of thousands of miles, it was this elite army.

After Tao Qian hung up, some of the Danyang elite soldiers fell into the hands of the Chen family, a local clan in Xuzhou. Chen Deng relied on these elite soldiers to defeat Sun Ce, the invincible Jiangdong overlord at that time.

It is the current Yuan Shu, and the soldiers who are used to supplement the trapped camp and the first to ascend to the dead are also transferred from the Danyang soldiers.

"My lord, what Zhong De said is right, 30,000 Danyang soldiers are definitely an important force that cannot be ignored. But fortunately, there are no generals under Tao Qian in Xuzhou who can handle it, so we don't need to worry too much. Xi Zhicai said.

"However, what we should consider is not how to defeat Tao Qian, but how to try to win Xuzhou and Danyang elite soldiers."

"Is there a difference between the two?" Xiahou asked.

"Yes! And the difference is significant. Cheng Yu said.

"Tao Qian's current body, even if we don't attack Xuzhou, he won't live long. Xuzhou is now basically a borderless land, and countless Xuzhou families have secretly contacted us. So what we have to do is to seize as much territory as possible in Xuzhou, and take down the Danyang elite soldiers who Tao Qian relies on as an important task. ”

"Zhongde, are you talking about Lu Bu and Liu Bei?" Cao Cao's eyes flashed coldly.

Now there are only these two people who can compete with him for Xuzhou, Yuan Shu is now busy in Yizhou, and it is impossible to be distracted from the original yuan.

"Didn't Yuan Highway promise us to contain Liu Bei? And Lu Bu also has Yuan Benchu eyeing him around, they shouldn't dare to do this! Cao Ren wondered.

Cao Ren is not as brave and unscrupulous as the two Xiahou brothers, he is a cautious person by nature. Among the generals who were good at guarding at the end of the Han Dynasty, he was also an existence that could rank in the top three, and his resourcefulness was not low.

"The so-called alliance is nothing more than a fragile link between the same interests. Although Yuan Benchu and Yuan Highway said that they were friendly to us on the surface, they would definitely not sit idly by and watch us grow. What's more, Liu Bei and Lu Bu are contained, so why shouldn't we? ”

Xi Zhicai saw the situation in the Central Plains very clearly, and the three major princes of the Central Plains did not dare to fight in a short period of time under the control of all parties. Because none of the princes can guarantee that after completely destroying another force, they will still have the strength to hold their territory and prevent other forces from picking peaches.

But at least now Cao Cao has taken the lead, and after taking Xuzhou, he will be qualified to swallow Lu Bu in another two years.

And there is such a foreign aid as Yuan Shao, it is really not possible to divide some of the benefits. As long as Gongsun Chan does not fall, Qingzhou will never be completely controlled by Yuan Shao, and sooner or later it will be Cao Cao's.

"The chassis vacated by Tao Qian's downfall is not just Xuzhou! Counting the other three states occupied by Tao Qian, there is more than one and a half Xuzhou. Now that we have taken the lead, how much territory we can seize depends on the ability of all parties. ”

Cao Cao angrily punched the board and shouted angrily: "Damn! If it weren't for the unscrupulous goods of Yuan Highway, how could Lu Bu, the lost dog, and Liu Bei, the weaver and peddler, be put in my eyes! ”

"The Lord is angry! Now that Yuan Shu is powerful, we have to compromise with Liu Bei and Lu Bu, and the lord should focus on the overall situation! Cheng Yu hurriedly comforted.

"Report! Xun Sima's letter came from the rear. ”

Before Cao Cao could breathe a sigh of relief, a messenger hurriedly ran in from outside the camp tent.

Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu nodded and took the letter, and glanced at the big change in color behind it.

Cheng Yu's face changed in everyone's eyes, and Cao Cao's heart sank.

Cheng Yu, who has always been moody, would have such a reaction! What the hell is going on?

After Cheng Yu read the letter, he handed it to Cao Cao with a solemn face.

Cao Cao took the letter urgently, and after glancing at it, his face suddenly darkened, and with both hands, he crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it on the ground.

"Damn! Liu Da'er An dares to bully me like this! ”
