The flesh on the faces of the two shook slightly, avoiding Xu Ding's gaze.

Tao Qian looked at the two of them, his thoughts were also extremely complicated, but his face slightly echoed: "This matter is serious, Bo Kang has evidence, and it is not only Cao Jun and his gang who have done such things that are angry with the gods!" ”

"Of course, there is more than one group of Cao Jun!" Xu Ding said with a meaningful smile, and then poured his own wine without ordering.

"Hehe, more than one group of Cao Jun, interesting!" Tao Qian glanced at Xu Ding, then at Cao Bao and Cao Hong, and finally closed his eyes and exhaled a long breath, and asked when he opened his eyes:

"Bokang, I'm so tired, I really want to relieve this burden, why don't you come to be the lord of Xuzhou, you can take care of Xuzhou, and the people of Xuzhou can really live a good life in your hands!"

Xu Ding was slightly stunned, looked up at Tao Qian, and the others also stopped their actions, and they all set their eyes on Tao Qian.

Abdicate and make way for Xian, what does Tao Qian want to do?

Except for the Elk brothers, the rest of the people are a little square.

Xu Ding said with a smile: "Brother Gongzu, some jokes can't be made, otherwise I will take it seriously!" ”

Does Tao Qian want to play the trick of letting Xuzhou?

Xu Dingzhi was looking forward to it, as long as Tao Qian dared to really say such a thing, he would accept it.

If you dare to let me, you will dare to accept it.

Learn from Liu Bei's set, that is, to make yourself uncomfortable.

Tao Qian saw that Xu Ding had the meaning of playing true, and said with a smile: "Bo Kang is really a man with a real temperament, if one day I am gone, I really need Bo Kang to preside over the overall situation of Xuzhou!" ”

You're an old fox, and you're really playing a trick with a black belly.

Don't say it in your mouth, but it's very honest in your body.

Xu Ding knew that Tao Qian was playing temptation, so he didn't chase deeply, just smiled and drank the wine in the glass.

Then they talked to some others, and Xu Ding told Tao Qian to pay attention to the drought and the locust plague in the coming year, and then went out of the city and returned to the camp.

The next day, he returned with 6,000 cavalry, and when he passed through Langya County, he turned into Taishan County to inspect the work of the trial and Zang Ba and others, and listened to the report.

Back on Weiyuan Island, Xu Dingxun asked how the matter of the pet ordnance was investigated.

Man Zhong came over with a memo and reported: "Lord, the matter has been found out, it is the ordnance leaked by the garrison army in Qingzhou, and the person is imprisoned for interrogation, and the highest offender is a captain, who has fought with the lord many times. ”

"No matter who he is, he will be dealt with in accordance with military law, and all relevant people will be dismissed, and those who will not be punished to death will be sent to the South China Sea to the Marine Corps!" The old subordinate committed a crime, and he should have been guilty of one more crime, but after thinking about it, Xu Ding still followed the rules.

Full of favor said: "It's the lord, but according to their explanations, the person who bought the crossbow may be from Guanzhong." ”

"Dong Zhuo's people?" Xu Ding frowned slightly, there was no news back from Guanzhong, and there was no eyebrow on the matter of Xuzhou.

It is very debatable who is framing him and Tao Qian and provoking Cao Cao's relationship with himself.

Originally, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were the most suspicious, but now it seems that Dong Zhuo is the one behind the scenes.

The Great Kanto Rebellion was in his interest.

Thinking of this, he was worried about Jun Xian again, and he didn't know if he had succeeded.

Yanzhou!

Chen Liujun!

Yuan Shu sent the general Ji Ling with an army of 100,000 to attack Yanzhou when Cao Cao's soldiers invaded Xuzhou.

Yuan Jun was like a bamboo, breaking through the county towns in a row.

Fortunately, Chen Gong and Cheng Shu dispatched troops and horses to stabilize the battle line.

For a while, Yuan's army fell into a siege battle, and the battle was stalemate.

Yuan Shu looked at it and couldn't advance, it was anxious and angry.

"Bastard, why haven't you captured it after fighting for so long, Cao Cao and Xuzhou are almost finished after the delay." Yuan Shu reprimanded him quite dissatisfied, urging him every day.

"The lord is coming soon, give us two days, he will definitely take this city, and he will definitely take Chen Liu." Ji Ling swore an oath.

"Two days, two more days, how many two days have I given you." Yuan Shu walked over and wanted to kick Ji Ling's feet, but he retreated halfway through the mention.

At this time, someone from outside the camp hurriedly came in and reported: "The lord's affairs are not good, Cao Cao retreated from Xuzhou, and led the army from Peiguo to Runan, Runan is in a hurry!" ”

"What? Cao Cao withdrew from Xuzhou, why was it so fast, he didn't fight with Xu Ding? Yuan Shuchao didn't believe it at first, didn't he say that Cao Cao entered Xuzhou and killed very fiercely, slaughtering people everywhere?

How did you stop so quickly.

Cao Cao, this bastard, is too cowardly.

No, why did he run to my Yuzhou.

"Lord, Cao Cao invited Xu Ding at night, and the two reached a consensus, Cao Cao withdrew his troops from Xuzhou, and he is currently going to Peiguo to kill him, and he will go to Runan in a few days, please make a decision as soon as possible." The visitor explained.

Yuan Shu thought for a while and said, "Withdraw the troops!" Damn Cao Cao, damn Wei Wei to save Zhao! ”

Yuan Shu withdrew his troops from Chenliu to aid Yuzhou, and Cao Cao, who received the news, decisively withdrew to Yanzhou with the fruits of victory after taking Yuzhou's vote.

Next, there were many frictions between the two in the border counties, and the wars were frequent.

"It's a pity that we don't have cavalry, otherwise I will definitely overturn Yuzhou and capture Ruyang!" Cao Cao, who had just returned to Yanzhou, muttered with great regret.

Whether it is attacking Xuzhou or Yuzhou this time, they are all foot soldiers, so the strategic goal achieved is really discounted.

So he is now very envious that Xu Ding has several cavalry troops.

"Otherwise, the lord will also form a cavalry unit, so that we can deal with the future war, just the foot soldiers are too passive." Liu Ye suggested.

Cao Cao was greatly moved, but his face was puzzled: "Ziyang, I also want to build a cavalry unit, but we don't have so much money, and horses are not easy to buy." ”

Yanzhou does not produce horses, and it costs 100 million yuan to build a cavalry unit, so don't even think about it.

Liu Ye said mysteriously: "The main horse can go to Youzhou or Merge with the state to buy, and it may not cost money!"

"Oh...... Ziyang: What does this mean? "Cao Cao suddenly became interested, and he didn't need to spend money, how could this be possible.

Liu Ye said: "The lord we can exchange with Liu Bei or Gongsun Zhan, they have horses, but we have trebuchets, in addition to the recent study of Xu Ding's repeating crossbows, although we are not as good as theirs, but it is also extremely easy to use, I think they will be interested." ”

"Well, exchange ordnance for horses!" Cao Cao didn't expect this, but he also hesitated, these good things were given to Gongsun Zan and others, would this cause trouble to him in the future.

Chen Deng on the side said: "The lord I think Ziyang's words are feasible, we are too disadvantaged without cavalry, and Xu Ding has developed very quickly, and he will start a war with Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao in the future, once he unifies Youzhou and Jizhou and other places, our Yanzhou will not be self-defeating, it is better to let Gongsun Chan fight with it for more time to buy time for our development." ”

In the matter of Xuzhou, Cao Xu has a dislike for each other, and there is nothing to scruple about.

exchanging weapons with Gongsun Chan and letting Gongsun Chan and Xu Ding fight longer, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Cao Cao thought for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, which of you will contact Gongsun Chan and see what he means!" ”

Chen Deng said: "My lord, I'll go!" ”

Liu Ye said: "My lord, I heard that Yuan Shao also has some good things in his hands, they have seized some horses from Xu Dingbu, and imitated Donglai's MMP and MMT, so it is better to use a trebuchet to exchange a weapon technology with him." ”

In fact, Cao Cao had already noticed the stirrups of Xu Ding's cavalry, but there was no cavalry and he did not ask Xu Ding for in-depth, at this time, he heard the words of Liu Ye and Chen Deng, and he had the intention to form cavalry, so he naturally became active and nodded in agreement.
