And the last thing is that Cao Cao sent troops to attack Xuzhou and expand his power from Yanzhou to the southeast.

For what is the march to Xuzhou, this has to talk about the situation of the Kwantung princes at that time. Because the situation at that time was that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were allies in an alliance, and because they had a good relationship since they were young, they were considered to advance and retreat together at that time. Of course, there are other people in this small league besides them.

As for Tao Qian, he is not a member of their small alliance, and he and Yuan Shu are the same nostrils, so they are a union.

Cao Cao's Yanzhou army has always been short of grain and grass, so he has always had a headache about grain and grass. Because he had collected a lot of soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army and their families before, didn't he form a Qingzhou soldier in the last year, and the harvest in Yanzhou in the past two years was indeed not very good, and it was not enough for his army to consume, so Cao Cao has been thinking of a way.

After that, apart from asking Yuan Shao to borrow some food, there was no other way to do it. And although Yuan Shao is also an ally, and Cao Cao has a good relationship with him, but Yuan Shao can't be so generous, and give so much grain and grass to Yanzhou generously, so he can't solve too big a problem at all, and it's useless.

Therefore, under the advice of several strategists, Cao Cao finally led his troops into Xuzhou in the autumn of the fourth year of Chuping, not only to expand his strength, but also to supplement the grain and grass needed by his Yanzhou army. Originally, Jizhou had the most grain and grass, and everyone knew that there was much more than Xuzhou, but none of the strategists said that Cao Cao would attack Jizhou. Of course, this is not just because of the alliance between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, that alliance is not too binding, in the final analysis, it is actually a reason of strength.

They don't think that their lord can beat Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu. Now there are only two people in the middle of the day, one is Liangzhou Mu Ma Chao Ma Meng Qi, and the other is his Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu. And the real strength of the two of them is definitely one of the best among the princes in the world, so these strategists under Cao Cao are naturally very clear about this.

Cao Cao personally led the troops into Xuzhou, and how could Tao Qian's Xuzhou army be the opponent of others, so it was really a series of defeats, and the most important thing was to let Cao Cao's Yanzhou army even go down more than ten cities, and then Tao Qian could only start a fierce battle with the Yanzhou army in Pengcheng, and the result was a big defeat and fled, only this battle, the Xuzhou army was beheaded by Cao Cao's Yanzhou army is more than 10,000 levels.

After that, Tao Qian was completely out of temper. can only retreat to Tan County, the seat of governance in Xuzhou, and dare not fight hard with the Yanzhou army anymore.

Cao Cao had no choice at this time, because everyone was defending Tan County, and he really couldn't capture Tan County for a while, and the food and grass in the army were still very poor. In the end, he had no choice but to let other generals lead their troops to occupy the county towns around Tan County first to replenish grain and grass. No more. went to rob the grain of the people of Xuzhou. As a result, the people of Xuzhou were unlucky, so far there were countless casualties, and many were killed by Cao Cao's Yanzhou army. In the end, he directly killed tens of thousands of people in the Surabaya pit, which was actually to force Tao Qian to surrender in Tan County, but Tao Qian's heart was hard enough and he was not restrained at all. is still guarding Tan County, but not moving.

Cao Cao really had no choice but to keep up, because the grain and grass really couldn't keep up, so he had no choice but to withdraw his troops back to Yanzhou. As a result, in the fourth year of the first peace, he personally led troops into Xuzhou. In the end, he failed to take the entire Xuzhou, and he had no choice but to retreat because of his lack of grain and grass-

In the autumn of the fourth year of the first peace, when Cao Cao was fighting with Tao Qian in Xuzhou, Ma Chao also ushered in Mi Zhu's family.

In fact, after Ma Chao returned to Liangzhou, he asked Cui An, Ma Dai, Guan Hai, Mi Fang, Wei Ping and Guo Jia to go to Donghaiqu County, Xuzhou with their own handwritten letters, and asked them to bring Mi Zhu's family to Longxian.

He didn't know that Cao Cao would use troops in Xuzhou this year, but Ma Chao had the impression that Cao Cao should indeed attack Xuzhou in the past two years, so he felt that without further ado, he had to let Mi Zhu come to Liangzhou as soon as possible. Originally, he had always had this thought, but he couldn't do it for a long time, and this Yizhou also took it down, so he had time to take care of the Mi family's affairs.

Although the Mi family came to Liangzhou, this movement was not small, and they were also uprooted from their hometowns, but there was no way, and now it can only be like this, or what else, we can't let them stay in Xuzhou. And Ma Chao also knows that Mi Zhu still has some vision, at least he will definitely agree with what he said. And now Mi Zhen or Mi Fang, but they are all in Liangzhou, so after Mi Zhu moved the Mi family, then the three brothers and sisters are reunited.

Ma Chaozhi said, the happiest about this is Mi Zhen. Because now in Liangzhou, after Mi Zhen married herself, there are not many Mi family members here, as for his second brother Mi Fang, and then he is a descendant. So Ma Chao knows that his baby still hopes that his eldest brother and Mi family can move to Liangzhou. It's not for anything else, it's just that it feels good to have a family by her side, even if Liangzhou is not her real hometown.

And Cui An and the six of them were not sent to Xuzhou by Ma Chao casually. He decided to let them go after thinking about it for a day, because the Mi family is a wealthy family, so there are still people in the family, and Ma Chao thinks that there are a lot of private soldiers, and it is definitely not a trivial matter to let these people go from Xuzhou to Liangzhou. This is a family relocation, not a joke, you can only walk quietly all the way, or it is definitely not a good thing if you are not discovered.

From Xuzhou to Liangzhou, at least through Yanzhou, then Sili, and then Liangzhou. However, Yanzhou estimated that he couldn't hide it from Cao Cao, so Ma Chao meant to go around a little bit from Yuzhou, at least Yuan Shu and Cao Cao couldn't compare. Cao Cao can find out that he may not be able to use Yuan Shu. So Ma Chao let Guo Jia go, and there was no problem with Guo Jia to deal with Yuan Shu and Li Dao Guo Yan and others.

As for Cui An, it was because he was superb in martial arts, and he didn't know how many times he had been to Xuzhou Donghaiqu County, so he must have gotten there.

Ma Dai, because he is his own brother, is the only relative in the army, so he can represent himself. I definitely can't go to Xuzhou, so Ma Dai actually represents himself. And his martial arts are also good, Ma Chao asked him to go to Xuzhou, which is also reassuring.

Guan Hai, when he was the king of Qingzhou, he had to deal with Mi Zhu and the Mi family, because Ma Chao always asked the Mi family to send part of their share of the money and grain to Guan Hai Cottage at that time, and the expenses of maintaining the cottage, so Mi Zhu and him are old acquaintances and very familiar.

Needless to say, Mi Fang's own people. As for Wei Ping, who is the most reluctant. Or because of Wei Ping's ability, at least he can detect the enemy's scouts early, and he can try not to expose his whereabouts.

So the six of them were ordered by their lord to take Ma Chao's handwritten letter to Qu County in the East China Sea of Xuzhou.

After seeing Mi Zhu, he handed him Ma Chao's letter. Mi Zhu saw it, and he didn't dare to slack off. Hurry up and get the whole family to clean up. Sent people to recall the Mi family in other places as much as possible, and then this month or so, they went on the road with a few people.

In fact, since Mi Zhu handed over his little sister to Ma Chao, he has compressed the business in the Kanto region as much as possible, so the business in the Kanto region is actually a lot less than before. And he had long expected such a day. So in Liangzhou and Yizhou, it has slowly infiltrated a lot of their business. Although there are not many interests in Liangzhou, there is Ma Chao, the pastor of Liangzhou, and the Mi family's business in Liangzhou has indeed been good in the past two years.

And the property obtained in Liangzhou. was not sent back to Xuzhou, it was all sent to Mi Zhen, of course, Mi Zhen also gave a lot to her second brother Mi Fang. Although Mi Zhen didn't take care of these, the business in Liangzhou was given to her by Mi Zhu's eldest brother. Although he also knew that although his little sister was born in a rich family, she was definitely not a luxury person. However, the little sister has more money in her hands, but it is still beneficial, at least that's how Mi Zhu sees it. In the eyes of a businessman, he also sees more benefits.

Mi Zhu knew that in the future, the focus of the family would be on Liangzhou, Yizhou and Sili, which had shifted from east to west. But there is no way, but he is a little confident that he will still return to Xuzhou, but he doesn't know when Lu Dao will come.

With such a big movement in Qu County, Tao Qian would not be ignorant, but he didn't stop it. Not only because he didn't want to offend Ma Chao, but also because Mi Zhu gave Tao Qian a lot of benefits, so he didn't care about this, or could this old fox easily let go of the Mi family. And the price Mi Zhu paid was that he gave all the Mi family's properties in Xuzhou to Tao Qian for free. And in the end, he also divided more than one-tenth of the family's belongings, grain and grass, and gave them to him.

Mi Zhu still had to cry poor, saying that this was already more than a quarter, Tao Qian was naturally happy, so he let them go. In fact, Mi Zhu's approach was also agreed by Ma Chao, and for him, Yuan Shu, Li Dao, and Guo Yan had nothing to worry about. But Tao Qian, the old fox, is not having a good time, unless he is a fool, or can he easily let go of the Mi family? But taking out so many things, although Ma Chao was also a little distressed, he didn't care about anything with the dead.

Others don't know the way, he Ma Chao still doesn't know the way, Tao Qian has been in the past two years, so what are you worried about with him. Ma Chao felt that he was still very generous, at least he wouldn't worry about the dying person-

Ma Chao took the officials of Longxian County to personally go out of the city to greet the Mi Zhu family, after all, this is his own relatives, not to mention how much Mi Zhu and the Mi family have helped him, just in the face of his baby, Ma Chao also has to go out to greet him in person.

When Ma Chao saw Mi Zhen, he couldn't help but think of Mi Taigong again, and he was indeed very grateful to this old man who was very good to him. Although he thinks about his family, Ma Chao has to admire his courage and methods. And the most descendant married their daughters to themselves, and now that their daughters even have children, Ma Chao can't help but miss his old feelings.

For Ma Chao, as long as the Mi family does not do anything sorry for themselves, then the so-called "prosperity and glory", he must give them enough glory and enough benefits. (To be continued......)
