Zhang Miao asked his subordinates to help him put on his armor, and then ordered his troops and horses to go out of the city to pursue Cao's army. After chasing for more than forty miles, they saw that they had caught up with Cao Jun's rear team, but they might as well sound drums and trumpets in the woods on the side, and a group of men and horses cut off their retreat. The Cao troops who were blocking the road separated, revealing Cao Cao in a yellow robe.

Cao Mengde shook his head and smiled at Zhang Miao, whose complexion had changed greatly: "Meng Zhuo, don't come to harm?" ”

Zhang Miao didn't answer him, and shouted loudly: "Rush back with me!" ”

Cao's army got out of the way and pursued and killed from behind, and Zhang Miao's army suffered heavy losses. When he ran back to the city, he saw that the city was closed, and Zhang Miao stepped forward and shouted: "Open the city gate quickly!" ”

At the head of the city, the flags of Yuanmen suddenly fell together, and several large banners of the Cao army were erected. Cao Chun poked his head out from behind the battlements and shouted: "Zhang Miao, this city has been taken by me, why don't you surrender quickly?" ”

Zhang Miao's face turned pale, he pulled the reins and looked back, and saw that Cao Jun had chased after him unhurriedly. Half a day ago, he was still happy about killing Cao Cao, but after only half a day, the situation was completely reversed. The war horse kept turning in circles on the edge of the moat, Zhang Miao's face turned blue and white, white and blue, and he shouted at the enemy who was approaching: "Cao Mengde, Cao Apu!" ”

Cao Cao stepped out of the crowd and sneered, "What did Meng Zhuo call me?" Do you want to arrange for the crossbowmen to shoot me again? Oh, now that I've taken the city, you can't do that. ”

Zhang Miao said angrily: "I still fell for your trick!" ”

Cao Cao laughed and said, "The way to use soldiers is to take them by surprise." If you know that I am good at tricks, why do you still go out of the city to pursue? Or are you yourself too greedy! People are self-aware, Meng Zhuo, it doesn't matter if you are greedy, but you gave the lives of your whole family and the people of the city! ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion in the city, but Zhang Miao's family members were all escorted to the city.

"Meng Zhuo, when you betrayed me in the past, did you think that there would be this day?"

Zhang Miao was angry when he saw that his family members were all swords behind him, but after listening to Cao Cao's words, he calmed down. Not only calmed down, Zhang Miao also laughed at Cao Cao.

"Cao Mengde, do you think you're done defeating me? The general knows that you have sent troops to attack Yanzhou, and he will definitely bring the army to come again and crush you to powder! ”

Zhang Miao shouted, "I'll be waiting for you below!" ”

With that, he raised his sword and swiped it around his neck. Blood splattered, and bodies fell into the dust. Cao Cao suddenly stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to stop it, but there was a distance of dozens of steps between the two, where was the time? He slowly withdrew his hand, and the light in his eyes dimmed.

After coming to Zhang Miao's corpse, Cao Cao squatted down and sighed: "Meng Zhuo, Meng Zhuo, you and I have been friends for more than ten years, and I don't want to get into such a situation." ”

On the side, Xiahoudun asked, "Lord, what about his family?" ”

Cao Cao wiped his tears and said, "Just send it to Qian County, after all, Zhang Miao used to be my friend, and his wife let me raise it." ”

"What about the people of the city?"

Cao Cao's expression turned cold, "They resist Wang Shi, they are stubborn, what else is there to ask?" Kill them all, let these people in Yanzhou see what will happen to Cao Cao against me! ”

Xiahoudun took the order and left, and after a while, an officer shouted loudly, "The lord has an order, slaughter the city!" ”

"Oooo

The soldiers cheered, they had been waiting for this order for a long time, but they were constrained by military law, and they did not dare to mess around for the time being. Now that he had received an order from above, he suddenly bared his vicious fangs at the people of the city like a hungry wolf that had been loosened.

Killing, adultery, robbery, the dark side of the human heart is maximized. The sound of swords slashing flesh and the screams of humans resounded in the city, and women fled from their houses into the streets, disheveled, only to be caught by another group. The bloodied woman hissed, but the soldiers on the side laughed.

Countless atrocities were committed in broad daylight in the name of "righteousness", and the entire city seemed to be transformed into a Shura purgatory.

After the massacre, Cao's army continued to advance towards the hinterland of Yanzhou. The surrounding princes, such as Liu Bei, Sun Ce, Liu Biao, etc., were all caught in their own wars and had no spare strength to take care of Yanzhou's affairs. Even if you have extra strength, you probably don't want to come to the rescue too much.

Although Xu Rong, who was in Sili, strengthened his vigilance, he also stood still. There was a response to the court, saying that the general would come with soldiers and horses in a few days. Until then, I hope Yanzhou can hold on for a while. But where is there still an army in Yanzhou that can resist Cao Cao now?

Even if some scholars have many tribes in their families, those people are only concerned about keeping their family property, and no matter what Chen Gong says, they will not hand over their private army. Chen Gong reluctantly gathered 20,000 soldiers and horses to block Cao's army, and unsurprisingly, a wave was sent clean.

Chen Gong was in a hurry to go to the doctor, and sent someone to send a table to Yecheng, asking Yuan Shao to send troops to help. Yuan Shao was confronting Gongsun Zan in the north, consuming 50,000 or 60,000 stone of grain and grass every month, and eating the stored grain in Jizhou cleanly. When Yuan Benchu really had a headache, after receiving Chen Gong's letter asking for help, one was happy and the other was worried.

The good thing is that Yanzhou can go down without a fight, but the worry is that Cao Cao is menacing, but I am afraid that he will no longer obey the orders of his former big brother. Last year, Cao Mengde drove Yuan Tan back to Hebei, can he still swallow Yanzhou and spit it out again?

If you don't eat it, it's just that, if you want to spit out the meat that you have eaten in your stomach, it's like taking out the money in your pocket again, normal people will feel unwilling, let alone Cao Mengde, who has high ambitions?

Yuan Shao summoned the advisors under his command and asked, "Chen Gong sent someone to send a table, saying that he was willing to raise the land of Yanzhou to be attached. Do you think you should send troops to the rescue? ”

There are many soldiers and horses in Jizhou, although Ju Yi brought 100,000 people to confront Gongsun Zhan, but the state can easily pull out 100,000 people, as long as there is enough food. Now Jizhou is pressing Youzhou to fight, if you don't want to swallow Youzhou in one gulp, there is no need to put so many troops in the north.

The 100,000 army in the north has been confronting Gongsun Zhan's army for half a year, and there is still no trace of victory. In this case, it seems like a good idea to withdraw the army and send it to Yanzhou to grab territory?

Yuan Shao summoned the advisers and asked this, which already showed his inclination. Gongsun Chan in the north is smelly and hard, and he refuses to admit defeat after such a long confrontation, and many people think that it is better to develop in a different direction.

But Tian Feng, the crow, jumped out again to object, he stood in the center of the hall, and said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, now that Gongsun Zhan has declined, it is the time to take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate him, how can you instead abandon the strong enemy in the north and seek the land of allies?"

Even if Cao Cao recaptured Yangzhou, he had to deal with the imperial court and Liu Bei, Sun Ce and others first, and could not become a threat to us. And once Gongsun Chan recovers, he will inevitably invade Hebei again. It is Yichen who thinks that Gongsun Chan should be defeated first, and then talk about others! ”

As soon as Tian Feng's words fell, Guo Tu immediately came out and said: "The minister thinks that Tian Gong's words are ridiculous!" Cao Cao's family members are all in Yecheng, and now they can only be regarded as the lord's subordinates, not the lord's allies! Even if he occupies Yanzhou, will he still dare to start a war against us?

Youzhou has many generals and generals, how can it be taken in a hurry? It's better to transfer the army back first and occupy Yanzhou. Yanzhou has a large population, and even if you can't occupy all the places, as long as you occupy some of the prefectures and counties, it can greatly increase our strength. If you can possess the land of three states, who in the world can still resist? ”

Tian Feng said: "Otherwise, now Liu Bei is leading the army to attack Qingzhou, and Gao Gan has asked the lord for help several times." At this time, even if he didn't concentrate his forces on Gongsun Zhan first, he should have sent troops to repel Liu Bei first, how could he erect more enemies? ”

Yuan Shao was originally inclined to swallow Yanzhou, but when he heard Tian Feng say this, he couldn't help but hesitate. He then asked the others, "What do you think?" ”

Most of the people agreed to occupy Yanzhou first, but Fu Zhu thought that he should occupy Dongjun, Jibeiguo, Shanyang County and other places, and together with the high-ranking cadres of Qingzhou, he attacked Xuzhou. Tian Feng retorted: "Gongsun Chan has not been destroyed yet, and Zhang Yan on the side still sends troops from time to time, how can there be another branch at this time?" ”

Tian Feng's voice was very loud, and Guo Tu's voice was even louder, "Now it is Chen Gong who invites our army to Yanzhou, and it will be easy to get dozens of cities and millions of people, which can be said to be beneficial and harmless." Don't you hear: God doesn't give it, but suffers from it! If you don't go to Yanzhou today, he will regret it in the future! ”

Yuan Shao said with a smile: "What the public rule says is extremely true! ”

Seeing that Yuan Shao was already moved, Tian Feng hurriedly said: "How can you see a small profit and forget your life?" ”

This comment came out from Guanzhong last year, when Chen Cheng was bidding farewell to Liu Bei, Princess Zang of Wannian was a hero in the world, and commented that Yuan Shao was "doing big things and sacrificing his life, and forgetting his life when he saw small profits". This matter has been asked by everyone in the world, and it has also been spread in Yecheng, and of course Yuan Shao has heard it.

Tian Feng was anxious at this time, and when he said this comment for a while, Yuan Shao's face immediately darkened. Guo Tu was overjoyed, and he secretly said in his heart: Tian Feng is really stupid, and he dares to say such words!

He immediately said righteously: "Tian Yuanhao's words are rebellious, and he has no king, please take him down and punish him immediately!" ”

Yuan Shao said with a dark face: "Tian Feng, what else do you have to say?" ”

As soon as the words came out just now, Tian Feng knew that it was not good, but the words he said were not easy to take back than the water that was spilled. He sighed, bowed to the ground, and said, "The minister is in a hurry, and he has no words, please punish the lord!" ”

"Hmph, of course I'm going to punish you!"

Yuan Shao shouted in the court: "Come on, put Tian Feng in prison!" After I take Yanzhou, I'll talk to him again! ”

The armored warrior walked up and said to Tian Feng with some embarrassment: "Tian don't drive, you see? ”

Tian Feng sighed again and said, "I will leave by myself." ”

His prestige in Jizhou is too high, so even though Yuan Shao ordered it, the soldiers did not dare to offend.
