Two days later, in the city of Pingchang in Xuzhou, only to see the city of Pingchang three zhang wide and four zhang high, at a glance, there is a sad momentum of Xiongguan, on the south city gate, a row of soldiers dressed in leather armor, holding spears, are standing neatly on the wall, looking straight into the distance, there are many soldiers on the wall under the leadership of the captain, walking back and forth, the strength is really a lot.

In the center of the city, a large red flag fluttered in the wind, but on that flag, it was neither Cao nor Xu, but a large Chinese character.

Cao Cao's troops were far inferior to Yuan Xi, so in order to stimulate the bravery of the soldiers, Cao Cao hung a banner representing the Han Dynasty in this Pyeongchang city.

However, Cao Cao also knew that this was just careful thinking, at this time, Dayan was already in the hands of Yuan Xi, not to mention respecting the Han family, even the people of his father Yuan Shao's generation were gradually being cleaned up, and Dayan's soldiers would never be soft-hearted because of this banner.

After the sight entered the city of Pyeongchang, I saw that the soldiers here seemed to be much more than the people, and they were either frightened, or with hatred, on the one hand, because of Cao Cao's precautions against Yuan Xi, he constantly sent a large army over, and the second is to say that the Xuzhou massacre of that year, because of the death of his father, Cao Cao was grief-stricken, and when he attacked Xuzhou, he issued an order not to take any prisoners, which suddenly made Xuzhou, which was originally densely populated and rich, suffered heavy losses, and the white bones were all over the wilderness, and there was no rooster crying for thousands of miles, and hundreds of thousands of people died, so that Surabaya does not flow.

Therefore, today's Xuzhou, long thought that it was not a prosperous place in the former Han Dynasty, either dead, or hooligans, Dayan accepted a lot of Xuzhou refugees, and the reason why Yuan Xi did not attack directly was because even if he took Xuzhou, he could not get too many benefits, but he wanted to fall here, but Xuzhou is the land of four wars, whether it is Youyan in the north, the Central Plains in the west, or Jingxiang in the south, it is very convenient, it is an important strategic base point, and any male lord who has a heart for the world will not give up Xuzhou. Therefore, Yuan Xi must be prepared, and the next full-scale war, in addition to recovering Xuzhou, or pacifying the Central Plains, and at the same time, these places that have suffered heavy losses due to the war must also be restored.

At this time, in the government of Pyeongchang City, I saw heavy guards, and in the inner hall, Cao Hong, who was drinking and having fun, with a thick beard, and was dressed in casual clothes, was sitting on the main seat with a comfortable face, accompanied by civil and military on both sides, and the singer was dancing.

"General, there won't be any conspiracy for Dayan to suddenly attack Dongwu," a general suddenly asked with some concern.

Cao Hong smiled disdainfully and said: "It's just training and training again, he Yuan Xi's more than 150,000 troops are trapped in the grassland, and what kind of city is he building, and he is also attacking small countries such as Goguryeo and Sihan, he has long been a little unable to make ends meet, where is he in the conditions to start a war with our army now?"

Hearing this, an elegant man on the left immediately frowned and arched his hand: "Although this is the case, the general should still be cautious, at this time, General Xu is leading troops to support Dongwu, if Dayan attacks in a big way, Pyeongchang will bear the brunt"

This person is really one of the four major families in the world, the representative of the Chen family, Chen Qun, one of Cao Cao's staff, and once helped Liu Bei.

"Brother Changwen rest assured, I still have an army of 40,000 in Pyeongchang City, if he Dayan arrives, they will definitely be bothered to break the bloodstream" Cao Hong's eyes instantly showed a thick chill, not only because of Dayan's huge threat to their Cao family, but also because of Cao Ren's death, he hated Dayan, hated Yuan Xi, and of course he hated the most was the central minister of Dayan, Xu Shu, the vice president of the Privy Council, who personally designed to kill their Cao family's military god, but unfortunately Xu Shu's current status made their Cao family not have much hope of revenge.

When Chen Qun saw this scene, he was both happy with Cao Hong's resoluteness and a little worried about Cao Hong's underestimation of the enemy, but Cao Hong was not wrong, although Dayan was in full swing at this moment, and the world was invincible, it did spend too much energy in other places and had no time to look south.

"Speaking of which, in the battle of Guandu back then, Sikong had actually won, and Yuan Shao was forced to death, but it was a pity that Yuan Xi'er was so ruthless, even his own father calculated, and he also openly claimed the king, usurping the Han family, it is obvious that the facts are hateful" In the second place on the left, a very handsome Confucian said, quite angry, obviously still has a deep attachment to the Han.

"Brother Ji Jue, don't be angry, although the Han Dynasty is declining, but its prestige still exists, Yuan Xi is just Wang Mang's generation, he is fierce for a while, and he will die in the hands of Sikong in the future" The third middle-aged man with a dignified face and strict dress said disdainfully, and if you look closely, it is Wang Lang who once brought an edict and canonized Yuan Xi as the king of Yan.

Hearing this, Cao Hong smiled with satisfaction and said: "Doctor Wang, he really has a vision, the lord supports the Han dynasty and establishes the world, which is where orthodoxy lies, and he Yuan Xi is just a pioneer, and he will inevitably follow his father's old path in the future."

"What the general said is very much" Many civil and military people also immediately patted their horses, in the inner hall, only the corners of Chen Qun's mouth showed a wry smile, if Yuan Xi is really so unbearable, he will not let Sikong only have defensive power, and no backhand work, as for saying like Wang Mang, it is even more nonsense, Wang Mang is impulsive, eager to continue to implement new policies, so that all the scholars are painful, so that there is Guangwu Zhongxing, and Yuan Xi over the years, although there are also out of line, but still respect the scholars, all aspects are respecting the ancient system, In addition to the prestige of his fourth and third dukes, he can't be equal to Wang Mang at all, but he naturally can't say this, it is the momentum of the enemy.

The enemy is weak and I am strong, and the pride of the generals must not be allowed; The enemy is strong and I am weak, and the pride of the generals is self-confidence and bravery.

"Report," a scout officer shouted outside.

Cao Hong frowned, immediately waved away the song and dance, and said solemnly: "Come in"

Although he likes to enjoy, he has never slackened on the tasks assigned to him by Cao Cao.

"General, I just got the report that Yuan Xi, the king of Yan, rewarded all the soldiers of the Second Legion, more than one million dollars, and twenty-seven carriages along the road, which are heading towards Anqiu."

"What" Cao Hong immediately stood up, his eyes uncontrollably revealing a thick color of possession.

A trace of anxiety flashed on Chen Qun's face, and he immediately said: "This must be Yuan Ping's trick, lure our army out of the city, don't pay attention to it"

Not only when Xu Huang left, but Cao Cao also told him that Cao Hong's only shortcoming made him have to keep an eye on it.

The scout was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "No! ”

However, just as he was about to retreat, Cao Hong suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute"

"General" Chen Qun was worried in his heart.

"Changwen don't worry, although a certain is greedy for money, but not stupid to this point, they can calculate, and a certain can too" Cao Hong's eyes were unexpectedly calm.

Chen Qun instantly became anxious, and didn't want to ask Cao Hong's plan at all, and said: "General, Sikong once strictly ordered that he must not take the initiative to go out of the city to seek war, and he must rely on the various city passes in Xuzhou to consume the Yan army layer by layer, and the change of the need to counterattack"

"Haha, this is really a counterattack, this time it will make Yuan Ping lose money and sacrifice his soldiers" Cao Hong smiled coldly, a little ruthless, some greedy and announced loudly.
