The middle-aged man who played against Wang Xiu was surnamed Zhang Mingzhao, a native of Pengcheng.

Known for his talent, Tao Qian admired him as a Maocai, but was rejected by Zhang Zhao.

Tao Qian thought that Zhang Zhao despised him, so he imprisoned Zhang Zhao. was later rescued by his friend Zhao Yu before he was released.

Before coming to Xuzhou, Xu Ding had given Wang Xiu a letter, which contained Zhang Zhao's detailed files.

Zhang Zhao, who went to Zhang's house in Pengcheng, was undoubtedly the person Wang Xiu needed to fight.

Whether it is guarding Pengcheng to stabilize the place, or digging talents for Xu Ding, he has to contact Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao is best at calligraphy, especially official calligraphy, followed by Go.

Calligraphy is a little difficult for Wang Xiu, who is from a poor family, and his chess skills are not enough, so he took the initiative to visit Zhang Zhao in Pengcheng.

However, he didn't solicit directly, nor did he show this meaning, but just used chess to meet friends, and from time to time pulled Zhang Zhao against the arts.

After coming and going, they discussed the major affairs of the family and the country, the livelihood of all industries, and of course, the direction of governance.

Wang Xiu did not forget that there was a sentence in the file that Xu Ding gave him, Zhang Zhao was good at government affairs, but he was not familiar with military affairs.

So Wang Xiu never talked to him about military affairs or anything like that.

Wang Xiu was not as direct and tough as Tao Qian, and initially won Zhang Zhao's favor.

Therefore, Zhang Zhao was very keen to help Wang Xiu stabilize Pengcheng, because he didn't like Yuan Shu.

On the contrary, he was somewhat inclined to Xu Ding.

Because his two sons are fifteen years old today, it is the time to break through the bottleneck in their studies, and they need to expand new learning paths and see and reserve richer knowledge.

The books of the family, the books of Xuzhou, are far from satisfying.

And the whole Dahan, except for Donglai College and its library, has not become a more suitable, safer and quieter place for students.

For the continuation of the family and the stronger heritage of the children, the Zhang family must make new choices.

Wang Xiu's arrival undoubtedly gave Zhang Zhao the same opportunity.

Therefore, Zhang Zhao, who has always been not good at military affairs, gave full play to his natural fear of military affairs, and suggested to Wang Xiu that he should try his best to confront Yuan Shu's soldiers.

Harmony is precious, stretching Yuan Shu's battle line, and then you have me, I have you, so twisted together, so that Yuan Shu can not start a large-scale war, so as to preserve the vitality of Xuzhou.

And this is also in line with Wang Xiu's wishes, and procrastination is also his main strategy in coming to Xuzhou.

As long as Xuzhou does not lose, the longer he confronts Yuan Shu, the more beneficial it will be for him, and when Xu Ding's side frees up his hand, Yuan Shu's problem will naturally be solved.

That's why Yuan Jun easily broke through Lu County, Xiahou Bo fought and retreated, and even in order to let Yuan Jun take Wuyuan reasonably, Wang Xiu deliberately let Cao Bao and others be placed there.

In this way, the current situation is that Wang Xiu's one-word long snake formation is still there, but the original big snake has become two long snakes.

And the two Iron Fist Crab Formations of Yuan Shu's army also turned into a long snake formation.

The three snakes are entangled and want to bite each other, but it will be difficult for the other party to hit each other.

"Inform Li Jin that he can attack, he must take Wuxian for me, don't move the nearby Ziqiu after taking Wuxian, and give me a beating of Zhuyi." Wang Xiu immediately issued new orders to various places.

Soon Li Jinbu left Xiao County and went straight to Wu County, where there were only about 1,000 defenders in the Yuan Shu Department, and they were soon taken back by the disguised Li Jinbu for a sneak attack.

After all, this belongs to Peng Chengguo, and there are a lot of things that should have been placed in it a long time ago.

After taking Wuxian, Li Jin led people through Ziqiu to Zhuyi, which frightened the defenders of Zhuyi and hurried Cui Runan's reinforcements to hurry over.

Of course, Li Jin was just frightened, walked to three-quarters, and then led the troops back, at this time the Yuan army of Ziqiu went to attack Wuxian again, trying to recapture here, just blocked by Li Jin, and the first lieutenant army of Wuxian County went out of the city to attack.

Yuan Jun suffered defeats one after another in the flank and rear, and it was only then that Yuan Shu and Yuan Jian noticed that Wang Xiu had changed his playing style.

"Binyang, Pengcheng, Wuxian, this is another long snake formation; Xiapi, Liangcheng, Danxian, two snakes. Staring at the map of Pengcheng again, Yuan Jian rubbed his forehead and muttered:

"One left and one right just around our army."

Only then did Yuan Jian realize that his army had unconsciously and passively turned into a big snake.

And it can only move its head, but its body and tail can't move, it's a big snake that has been nailed.

Small snake fighting big snake, what kind of play is this?

Yuan Jian was a little disdainful.

Isn't Wang Xiu afraid that he will crush him to death?

"Yao Qing cares so much about him, since Wang Xiu has opened the door, then we can just eat, Danxian is there, we can't stop fighting because we are worried about this and that." Yuan Shu doesn't care about any conspiracy and conspiracy.

It is one of his obsessions to win Danxian.

The last attack on Xuzhou failed to be defeated, and this time it must be defeated.

Yuan Jian closed his eyes and thought for a while: "What the lord said is good, no matter how Wang Xiu changes, he will never be able to change the weakness of their small troops, as long as our cities maintain enough soldiers and horses, our big snake is an existence that he cannot shake." ”

Yuan Shu said: "That's right, immediately notify Ji Ling, immediately attack Danxian, this time we must take here, each of them must guard each city, and it is not allowed to attack alone." ”

Tamxian!

At this time, Tao Qian and everyone were also discussing.

However, the matter of discussion was not to defend and hold, but to retreat.

"The lord can't, Danxian is the foundation of my Xuzhou, so how can the state government say abandon it, which is not conducive to the cities and counties to resist foreign enemies." Cao Hong resolutely objected.

Wang Lang said: "Cao Hong, you don't want the lord to withdraw from Danxian, I want the lord to defend Danxian, and then be captured by Yuan's army to break through the city and be taken prisoner?" ”

"Wang Lang, don't spew blood! Danxian is the capital of my Xuzhou Prefecture, how can I abandon it, isn't our Weihai Hou able to have a lot of people, let them all come to support, and then fight with Yuan Jun in the city, I believe that Weihai Hou's subordinates will be able to successfully encircle and annihilate Yuan Jun. Cao Hong arched his hand towards Tao Qian and said:

"Lord, if Weihaihou's people don't come to Danxian, this is not taking the lord in his eyes, Weihaihou has never considered the lord, Wang Xiu wants to indirectly kill the lord.

The lord must not withdraw, otherwise the people of Xuzhou will be lost, how can the people of Xuzhou still believe in the lord, please think twice! ”

Tao Qian's face darkened.

Lu Zhu stood up and said: "Ridiculous, the Marquis of Weihai acts above board, why do you need to play tricks, Wang Shuzhi asked the lord to retreat eastward, just to protect the lord, so as not to have an accident with the lord, otherwise it is not good to explain to the Marquis of Weihai."

Now we are only strategically moving eastward, and we are not leaving Xuzhou, as long as we can repel the Yuan army, the people of Xuzhou will naturally understand the intentions of the lord, who dares to blame the lord, is it your Cao family or my elk family. ”

"You ......" Cao Hong was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Tao Qian looked at the two factions arguing and also had a headache, and finally waved his sleeves and said: "Just do it according to Wang Shuzhi's wishes, Danxian is just a city, if you lose it, you will lose it, and we will go to Qu County The same, everyone must believe in Weihaihou and his civil and military affairs." ”

originally intended to hand over the power of Xuzhou to Xu Ding, and Tao Qian became more and more single.

His health is getting worse and worse, and he doesn't know how long he can last, and he always has to have a future for his two sons.

Mu Ne's two dull sons can't control a state at all, and they can't even be too guarded, and their wealth and glory still need to be properly arranged by themselves.

He didn't worry about the other princes, but he could only make a promise.

Just when Tao Qian finished giving the order and was about to end the meeting, a detective rode down from the north and hurriedly entered the hall.

"Report! The lord is not good, the southern part of Taishan County was attacked by Cao Cao's tiger and leopard horse, and now Langya County is also attacked by Cao Cao's tiger and leopard horse, and its department is going south and is heading towards Kaiyang. ”

"What?"

Suddenly, Tao Qian's civil and military officers all changed their faces and were shocked.

Cao Cao had cavalry?

also attacked Taishan County and Langya County.

also went south, and was about to open Yang, and after playing Kaiyang, he could not directly enter Danxian County.

Cao Jun's murderous reputation in Xuzhou can stop children crying at night.

Including Cao Hong's hall, half of the people couldn't help but shudder.

"The lord and I seconded the proposal, and it is the best choice to move to Qu County as soon as possible."

Cao Yuan's army is about to merge, and it is really looking for death if he sticks to Danxian.

Including Cao Hong, those who were originally against it came forward and agreed.

Nothing is more important than saving your life, and you can throw away the jars and jars.
