"The people are innocent, Cao Cao doesn't dare to do this", Jia Xu said solemnly, this kind of behavior is tantamount to cutting off the way back, you slaughtered the people, how to recruit soldiers in the future? Jia Xu didn't look like Cao Cao was a person who would lose his mind because of his own selfish desires.

"No matter whether Cao Cao will lose his mind or not, we have to stop him and slaughter the people of Xuzhou, because he said it, after Cao Cao entered Xuzhou, he sent troops to directly surround him, and he couldn't be allowed to slaughter the people", Liu Yi said seriously, this kind of thing is completely avoidable, why follow the trajectory of history, let Cao Cao slaughter the people of Xuzhou? And then Cao Cao's reputation stinks? What is the sin of those people?

"If you go to war with Cao Cao directly, you won't need any strategy, encirclement and blockade, and what you fight is the strength of the army", Guo Jia said helplessly, Guo Jia doesn't like this kind of hard-fought battle too much, it is completely a fight of strength, and the strategy plays a very little role.

Liu Yi was also a little silent, this war will definitely kill many people, the people are innocent, and the soldiers are also innocent, but the war is so cruel, there are always some people who have to sacrifice their lives.

"Fight, directly encircle Cao Cao, the people of Xuzhou can't let Cao Cao vent their anger", Liu Yi said hatefully, war is inevitable, and death is inevitable, but when he can, Liu Yi still wants to keep those people, the casualties of the army will not be so serious, but the slaughter of the people will be a particularly large number.

"Okay, we have succeeded in directly encircling and protecting the people of Xuzhou", Liu Bei decided that there is not much time to make a good reputation, and Liu Bei will not let it go.

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu looked at each other, this happened too suddenly, they were ready to start fighting as soon as they got the news.

"Ziang, how to send the army appropriately", Liu Bei looked at Liu Yi suspiciously, wanting to see if there was any good way to encircle Cao Cao and Liu Yi, in fact, Liu Bei thought that he was also an old fritter with his troops, and wanted to test Liu Yi.

Liu Bei beckoned, and someone sent the map up.

"Everyone, please see, this is Xuzhou, Cao Cao needs to go through Chen Liu, Dingtao to Xuzhou, and our Chengyang can directly enter Xuzhou, and Cao Cao can be caught off guard in time", Liu Yi smiled and pointed to the map and said, if you can get to Xuzhou first, things will be much simpler, and you will not be in a hurry at that time.

Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others all looked at Liu Yi and compared the map, and then they found that the location of Chengyang was at the junction of the three states, and it was very convenient and fast to send troops.

"Second master, Yide's infantry set off first, went to Xuzhou to wait for Cao Cao, stopped him, couldn't let Cao Cao enter Xuzhou to slaughter the people, and Zilong's cavalry was fast, you can wait for Cao Cao to leave Yanzhou, cut off his back road, we will copy the two of you, and directly decide the victory or defeat in a battle", Liu Yi directly mapped, the more he said, the more he felt, this kind of pleasure of pointing out the country is really good.

"Ziang, so many of our troops have entered Xuzhou, Tao Qian will not misunderstand", Xi Zhicai frowned and said, no matter what, no matter how good the friendship is, you can't directly send troops to Xuzhou, so many army transfers, Tao Qianjue can't sleep.

"In extraordinary times, we can't manage so much, let's not go deep into Xuzhou, when the time comes to fight with Cao Cao, Tao Qian will understand", Liu Yi shook his head and said, there is no time to send a letter to ask for Tao Qian's consent, I believe that Tao Qian also knows the news that Cao Cao is going to send troops to Xuzhou, Liu Yi feels that Tao Qian will also understand that Qingzhou's actions are for his good.

"Well, what do you say about the troops, who will lead it", Guo Jia looked at Liu Bei, this has to be decided by Liu Bei, Liu Yi can't assign the army, otherwise it will be a bit too much.

"The second brother led 40,000 troops, let Fengxiao be the military advisor, the third brother brought the 30,000 troops with equipment, let Wen and Zhicai follow as the military advisor, and Ziang followed Zilong's cavalry to seize the opportunity to fight", Liu Bei looked at the strategists and generals present, Zhang Fei's personality was too stubborn, Liu Bei was very uneasy, so he sent two military advisors to him.

"Yes," the crowd said in unison.

On the other side, Yanzhou East County.

"The hatred of killing my father, I don't share the sky, pass my order, point 30,000 elite soldiers to attack Xuzhou, where I pass, not a single inch of grass grows, chickens and dogs do not stay, I will kill people when I see them, I want to stain Xuzhou with blood", Cao Cao said with red eyes, his father came to Yanzhou with his family and was robbed and killed, and those properties were robbed, it doesn't matter, but as a child, how can he be indifferent knowing that his father was killed.

"Yu, please worry about the Lord", Cheng Yu stood up and said, without any reaction to Cao Cao's saying that he would slaughter Xuzhou without an inch of grass.

"Okay, Zhongde will follow as a military advisor, and Gongda will also follow", the first voice Cao Cao heard turned out to be not opposed. Immediately very happy, said with a smile.

"Lord, think twice before acting", Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao's state, thinking of Cao Cao's father who died tragically in Xuzhou, and he couldn't say anything to persuade him, so he could only point to it.

"Hmm", Cao Cao knew that Xun Yu persuaded himself for his own good, but attacking Xuzhou was a move that had to be done, they would not understand, and revenge must be revenged.

After the princes fought against Dong Zhuo, they were actually divided into two factions, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao, against Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian, and Yuan Shu. Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan had the Battle of Jieqiao, Cao Cao and Tao Qian had the Battle of Xuzhou, and Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian to attack Liu Biao. These three wars were important battles to determine who would survive, and ended in the complete defeat of the Yuan Shu group. The three princes of Yuan Shu were also the first to launch the historical stage. Cao Cao was just a general attached to Yuan Shao at that time, when Cao Cao pursued Dong Zhuo, the whole army was annihilated, it was Yuan Shao who allocated him soldiers, military rations, to help him re-raise the army, Yanzhou assassin Liu Dai was arranged to die, since then Cao Cao has a financial source, become a prince. Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou was forced by the form, in that era, survival was the most important thing, now Yuan Shao is in the north of Yanzhou, ready to fight with Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shu and Liu Biao developed steadily, Cao Cao was sandwiched in the middle, and could only fight Xuzhou Tao Qian, but because of Liu Yi, Qingzhou Liu Bei naturally joined Yuan Shu's camp, after all, they are all brothers in the same school, is it possible to follow Cao Cao?

At that time, it was the most acute time of social contradictions, and if you didn't attack others, you couldn't afford to raise so many troops, and without an army, you couldn't survive, and people died of starvation, war, and disease everywhere, and ending this kind of military confrontation was the most important thing at that time, so someone had to be eliminated. Cao Cao launched the Xuzhou War and later did not become a handle for others to attack him, in fact, Cao Cao was also famous, not only because of Cao Song's death, after all, this is a personal grudge, the main reason is - Tao Qian has attacked Cao Cao many times.

During Dong Zhuo's dictatorship, all the princes joined forces to fight. After Dong Zhuo fled to Chang'an and the princes from all walks of life dispersed, Tao Qian recommended Zhu Yu to oppose Dong.

After Dong Zhuo was killed, various warlords fell into a scuffle, and Tao Qian joined the camp of Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan against Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Why did Tao Qian choose Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan to be enemies of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao? Some people analyze that when Tao Qian served as the assassin of Youzhou, he was likely to fight side by side with Gongsun Zhan in order to fight against the northern ethnic minorities, so the relationship was relatively good; And Yuan Shu's subordinate Sun Jian once helped Tao Qian fight against the Yellow Turban, and Cao Cao vigorously developed his power in Yanzhou, posing a threat to Tao Qian, so when Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan fought with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Tao Qian chose his allies, and this analysis still makes some sense. At this time, although Yuan Shao was more powerful, he was still fighting fiercely with Gongsun Zhan, and he was at odds with Yuan Shu, and was attacked from both sides; Cao Cao is still living in the east county of Yanzhou, and Tao Qian chose to be the enemy of these two, which also has his own reasons. In order to eliminate Cao Cao as soon as possible, Tao Qian took the initiative to attack, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou is no problem, but you slaughter the people There is a problem, the Three Kingdoms Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou. At that time, Mu Taoqian of Xuzhou was an official of the imperial court, and Cao Cao was also an official of the imperial court. The most important thing is that although Cao Cao had the ambition to win the world at that time, he still used the banner of saving the Son of Heaven and supporting the Han Dynasty on the surface, and he looked like a mighty and civilized teacher.

At that time, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian was appointed by the imperial court, and he loved the people like a son, was loyal to the imperial court, and had a good reputation. Although Cao Cao went to attack Xuzhou to avenge his father, after all, Tao Qian was a court official who was loved by the people, and Cao Cao's father's death was not directly related to Tao Qian, Cao Cao was not afraid of the world's discussions? Cao Cao had just established a firm foothold, which was not conducive to Cao Cao's establishment of the image of a mighty and civilized army at that time. In the historical records, it can be seen that Cao Cao was an extremely emotional person, unlike Liu Bei's joy and anger, Cao Cao has always been moody. The main thing is that Boss Cao wants to fight, as I mentioned before, it is Boss Cao who wants to start a war, Cao Cao has formed an alliance with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao already has Yanzhou, and he can't fight to the north, and Yuzhou in the south has Yuan Shu in the bad Yuan Shu is not a waste wood, when the princes of the Eighteenth Road will be in the alliance, his official position is the highest, and he is a general who has the power to ask for power, in fact, the princes of the Eighteenth Road are divided into three roads, he is the leader of the South Road Alliance, although there are Danyang elite soldiers in Xuzhou in the east, but Tao Qian is old, and there are no generals under him, no matter how you look at it, they are soft persimmons.

Xuzhou is rich and fruitful, with fewer wars and more grain storage. Cao Cao was extremely short of food when he invaded Xuzhou, and from Cheng Yu's "human breast incident" using human dried meat as military food, it can be seen that Cao Cao's demand for food has reached a certain point, and even extorted a batch of grain and grass in Xuzhou when he retreated after Lu Bu's attack. The most important point is that it was already a troubled time at that time, Cao Cao was not strong at that time but also had a little strength, the hatred of killing his father was not shared, if he didn't fight, how should the people of the world look at him, they would all think that Cao Cao was a weak and bullying person, which was extremely unfavorable to Cao Cao's pacification of the world. That's why Cao Cao had to fight. The slaughter of Xuzhou, a big loss of popular support, may be the work of the Qingzhou soldiers who are difficult to change the old habits, or it may be to relieve the pressure on grain and grass, but it may be that Cao Cao deliberately ordered it, but in the end it has caused this result, and it must be Cao Cao who is to blame.

But no matter what you think, the fact that you slaughtered the people is ironclad will become a stain on life, after all, the defenseless people are innocent, and Cao Cao slaughtered a lot of people at that time, and the Book of the Later Han Dynasty can see that after capturing Xuzhou, Cao Cao slaughtered the common people in Xuzhou, killing hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou, and even chickens and dogs were not left, and Xuzhou's Surabaya could not flow because of the accumulation of too many corpses. Since then, Xuzhou has almost no people's tracks. It can be said that Cao Cao's massacre of Xuzhou was very thorough, and almost all the people of Xuzhou were slaughtered. The account of the Xuzhou Massacre in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms is relatively brief and does not describe it very directly. But the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms also hints at the ferocity of Cao Cao's massacre in Xuzhou. There are only six words: "all the slaughter". However, with just these six words, we can also vaguely see the ferocity of Cao Cao's slaughter of the people. It is understandable that Cao Cao took the opportunity to avenge his family, it is understandable to take the opportunity to attack the city, it is understandable to hold the murderer Zhang Min responsible, and even whether Tao Qian knew it or not, it is understandable to pursue his joint and several responsibility, but in any case, the responsibility cannot be held accountable to the unarmed people of Xuzhou, and almost all of them are killed regardless of men, women, old and children, which is really a great crime.

As for the number of victims of the Xuzhou Massacre, the Later Han Book records that hundreds of thousands of people were killed and died under Cao Cao's butcher's knife. Moreover, Surabaya does not flow, showing Cao Cao's extreme ferocity and tyranny, and the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms say that the number of victims of the Xuzhou Massacre was only tens of thousands, not hundreds of thousands in the Book of the Later Han. What was the number of victims of the Xuzhou Massacre? Tens of thousands, exactly? Or hundreds of thousands? In addition, there is also controversy about whether Cao Cao carried out the Xuzhou Massacre. Some people think that if Cao Cao completely slaughtered Xuzhou, then where did he come from the "Qingxu Army"? Isn't that a paradox? All in all, there are still many controversial points about the Xuzhou Massacre, and there is still no concrete result of the number of civilians slaughtered by Cao Cao.

Pengcheng, Xuzhou.

"I'm angry, I'm angry, Zhang Min, this villain, hurt me not shallowly", Tao Qian kept circling in the house, fought Cao Cao a few times and didn't fight, and lost a lot of troops, Tao Qian knew that Cao Cao was not something he could solve, and he wanted to wait for Yuan Shu to clean him up, this is good, with this excuse, Cao Cao will definitely come to attack Xuzhou.

"What should I do, the elite can't beat Cao Cao, so I can only clear foreign aid", Tao Qian said helplessly, remembering that Liu Bei of Qingzhou next to him was in Chengyang, and he could go to his rescue.

"Come on, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are ready", Tao Qian said excitedly, and finally found a solution, Liu Bei, who was inadvertently contacted when he was talking to Dong, chatted for a while and fell in love, and gave gifts and grain and grass a few days ago, isn't it just his use at this time.

A letter went down, but unfortunately it couldn't reach Liu Bei, because Liu Yi and the others had already begun to set off.

If Liu Yi knew that Tao Qian would not be disappointed if he thought of asking for help in Qingzhou, after all, if Tao Qian felt that there was hope, he might not be sick and die, so how could he take Xuzhou.

Tao Qian's life is actually quite smooth, initially for Zhusheng, serving in the state and county, being promoted to Maocai, successively Shu, Lu Erxian Ling, Youzhou Rashi, Yilang, upright personality, ambitious. Later, he followed the left chariot general Huangfu Song to fight against Beigong Boyu, served as the captain of Yangwu, and then followed Zhang Wen to conquer Han Sui and Bian Zhang. At the beginning of the Xuzhou Yellow Turban, Tao Qian was appointed by the imperial court as the assassin of Xuzhou to suppress the Yellow Turban Army. As soon as Tao Qian arrived in Xuzhou, he appointed Zang Ba, a Taishan man who died in the East China Sea, and his fellow villager Sun Guan as generals. As a result, the Yellow Turban Army was defeated in the first battle, and the remaining Yellow Turban Army was forced to flee from Xuzhou. After the yellow scarf was broken, Tao Qian worshiped Zang Ba and Sun Guan as the captain of the cavalry, and ordered him to govern Kaiyang in Langyu County and garrison the north of Xuzhou. The Kwantung herdsman supported Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, and the spearhead was directed at Dong Zhuo in Luoyang. At that time, the counties of the world responded and raised volunteers. However, Tao Qian did not join the military campaign against Dong Zhuo in the Kwantung region, and the famous general Zhu Jun was stationed in Zhongmu County at that time. Sent a message to various states and counties, summoning troops to crusade against Dong Zhuo. After Tao Qian learned of this, he immediately sent 3,000 elite soldiers, and only some soldiers were sent from other states and counties. Zhu Jun was still in Zhongmu at the time, Tao Qian thought that Zhu Jun was a famous general, who had repeatedly made military exploits and could be entrusted with great tasks, so he united with the former Yangzhou Assassin Shi Zhou Gan, Lang Evil State Minister Yin De, East China Sea State Minister Liu Kui, Peng Cheng State Minister Ji Lian, Beihai Xiangguo Kong Rong, Pei Xiang Yuan Zhong, Taishan Taishou Ying Shao, Runan Taishou Xu Xuan, the former Jiujiang Taishou Fu Qian, Doctor Zheng Xuan and others Zhu Jun as the Taishi, moved the Mu Bo, and discussed Li Dao and others to welcome the Son of Heaven. In December, Li Wei used a plan to summon Zhu Jun to enter the court, Zhu Jun then thanked Tao Qian and responded to the call to enter the court, Tao Qian had no choice but to give up, the officialdom played very slippery, and Xuzhou was also well governed, but it was a pity that he was pitted by his subordinates, otherwise he would not die of illness so easily, mainly because of Cao Cao's attack, which made Tao Qian a little worried.
