Chapter 167 Xuzhou Peace

(Recommended reading: Just as Xiao Yi was planning to attack Ji Ling's camp overnight and take all the cities in the six counties of Yuzhou in one fell swoop, a hundred thousand urgent military intelligence disrupted his plan, "Tiger Dove-Lu Bu raided the counties of Yanzhou!" ”

"Lu Bu, you guy!"

At the same time, Cao Cao, who was fighting under the city of Xuzhou, also received the same military report, Yanzhou is where their old nest is, once lost, tens of thousands of troops will become homeless stragglers, in desperation, Cao Cao had to plan the retreat on the one hand, while continuing to listen to the news about Lu Bu!

It turned out that after Lu Bu was driven out of Chang'an by Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, he fled all the way back to his hometown in Jiuyuan County with the remnants of the defeated army, while recuperating from the wounds of the war, and on the other hand, using his prestige in his hometown to recruit warriors and expand his strength!

After Xiao Yi led the troops to leave, his strength plummeted, and he could only turn one eye open and close one eye to Lu Bu's recuperation on his own territory, just like that, after more than a year of cultivation, Lu Bu not only completely recovered his strength, but also became more powerful than before!

At this time, Mi Zhu sent his friend Chen Gong to Jiuyuan County to persuade Lu Bu to attack Yanzhou, copy Cao Cao's lair, and casually relieve the siege of Xuzhou.

Cao Cao, Xiao Yi and others all led troops to fight outside, Yanzhou was empty, and as a result, Lu Bu's army broke through Chenliu, Rencheng and other places, and the soldiers pointed directly at Jibei County, where the shogunate of the 'General Zhengdong' was located, and the situation was extremely critical, so there was that 100,000 urgent distress report!

In order not to shake the military morale of his subordinates, Cao Cao strictly sealed the matter of the military report, and only secretly summoned Guo Jia, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan and several other confidants in his back account to discuss countermeasures.

"Lord, go back to the division immediately to rescue, once Yanzhou is lost, we will be homeless!" Cao Ren is face is anxious, most of their family members are in Jibei City, if they are served by Lu Bu, then everyone's wives and children will be finished!

"It's certain to return to the division to rescue, but we can't mess up!" Cao Cao still maintains his composure as a commander, and now he is inseparable from the Xuzhou side, and if he wants to return to the division and retreat at this time, I'm afraid it's not so easy!

Those who command the army know that when the army retreats, they are most afraid of being followed and killed, in which case the retreat will turn into a rout, and then it will become a rout, and then the army will be in chaos, and it will be defeated!

If it was just Lao Er Tao Qian, Cao Cao would not be worried, but now the person who is really in charge in Xuzhou is Liu Bei, with this person's ambition, he will definitely chase them all the way with a large army, and he will never stop if he does not kill them all......

"The last general is not talented, and he is willing to lead the people of the headquarters to judge the Lord!" At the critical moment, Cao Hong took the initiative to ask Ying, to use the method of gecko tail breaking, sacrifice himself, and protect the return of the army!

"We are all willing to fight to the death for the Lord!" The rest of the generals are also invited!

"Okay, everyone is Cao's loyal and good general!" Cao Cao's heart couldn't help but warm, with so many loyal ministers to assist, even if the land of Yanzhou was lost, he was confident that he would take it back, compared with the city, people's hearts are the first.

"Generals don't have to be like this, I have a plan, not only can I get out of the way, maybe I can get some benefits back!" Guo Jia still doesn't leave his mouth, as if his wine gourd contains countless tricks.

"What is Fengxiao's plan, let's talk quickly!"

"Tomorrow, the whole army will press on, storm Xuzhou City, and fight as hard as possible!"

"Ahh Aren't we going to withdraw our troops and go back? Why is it still ......?"

"That's right, it is precisely because we want to withdraw our troops that we have to storm Xuzhou, which is called - if we want to capture the old man, we will fight hard, so we can negotiate the price with Tao Qian!" Guo Jia smiled and touched his nose, he still learned this habit from Xiao Yi, but he was touching his nose to think of a scheme, and Xiao Yi was going to kill someone if he touched his nose!

"Want to get away with it? …… Good! ”

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Early the next morning, Cao Ying's 60,000 troops poured out, under the leadership of the commanders of the various armies, they launched a crazy attack on Xuzhou City in turn, flesh and blood filled the trenches, and faced the difficulties, Cao Cao took his two sons, and pressed the sword to the first line, not avoiding arrows like rain, and commanded his subordinates to attack the city bravely!

There will be a heart of death, and there will be no greed for life!

Excited by the Cao family's father and son, the big and small soldiers were reluctant to forget death, screaming and bravely attacking the city, falling down in batches, and rushing up in batches, one after another, endlessly, although in the end they still failed to break through the city wall, but the crazy momentum frightened the defenders of Xuzhou, especially the assassin Shi Taoqian, the old man is old, the body is not very good, this time is always worried, after this fright, the result is not a good illness, so that the Xuzhou civil and military people panic!

Just when everyone was at a loss, a letter from Cao Cao came in from outside the city, saying that it was inevitable that the lives would be ruined, and the two sides could strike the army and negotiate peace, but there were three conditions.

First, Xuzhou wants to cede the land of a county!

Second, compensate 300,000 yuan of corn for military use!

Third, expel the big-eared Afu ......, Liu Bei!

As long as these three things are agreed, Cao Jun will immediately withdraw his troops, and swear a blood oath that the two families will be reconciled from now on and will never raise troops!

Like a drowning person grasping a life-saving straw, a group of civil and military officials in Xuzhou immediately discussed, and even Thorn Shi-Tao Qian dragged his seriously ill body to the meeting!

"The land city is the lifeblood of Xuzhou, and it must not be ceded to others!" At the meeting, Mi Zhu was the first to speak out against it, cutting out a county city, which is equivalent to inserting a nail in Xuzhou, and Cao Cao can use this as a pedal to invade again at any time in the future.

However, Mi Zhu also said that in order to let Cao Jun retire, they can give more money and food, and no matter how much they give, their Mi family is willing to bear half of it!

As one of the three major chaebols in the world, he doesn't care about this money and food!

Mi Zhu's speech was unanimously supported by everyone, and they praised him for his righteousness and squandering money, the bottom line of the first two is set, but the third one, everyone's eyes have looked at Liu Bei!

"Xuande, what do you think about this matter?" Tao Qian's body is really bad, he was out of breath after only a few words, his old face was like ashes, everyone could see that this old man was afraid that time was running out!

"The Cao army has been besieging the city for less than two months, and it can be said that it is in full swing, but it suddenly wants to strike the army to negotiate peace, which must be strange, as the so-called movement is better than a quiet, I think we should wait and see for a few more days!"

Liu Bei thought about it very well, he didn't believe that Cao Cao would suddenly withdraw his troops for no reason, but Xuzhou was besieged like an iron bucket, and all news from the outside world was cut off, and he suffered a big loss in this!

"A few days on the sidelines? The Cao army is now on the offensive, can we still hold on for a few days? ”

"That is, the opportunity must not be missed, if you don't negotiate peace now, in case you annoy Cao Cao, there will be no more chance!"

"Humph! …… Some people are probably reluctant to leave Xuzhou, so they deliberately obstruct the peace negotiation! ”

A group of civil and military officers had already been frightened, and they advocated that peace should be negotiated as soon as possible, and they pointed the finger at Liu Bei in and out of their words.

This is the cleverness of Cao Cao's strategy, completely encircled Liu Bei, if he spoke out, it would be speculated that he had selfish intentions and intended to control Xuzhou, if he didn't object, hehe! That's just being sent out, which is equivalent to one less great enemy!

"Silence! …… All silent! In the end, Tao Qian slapped the table desperately and suppressed everyone's discussion with his prestige, but with his current physical state, he really didn't want to fight anymore, as long as he could negotiate peace, even if he suffered a loss, it wouldn't hurt!

"Xuande is a benevolent gentleman, in order to save my Xuzhou, he did not hesitate to risk the arrows and stones, and the old man will never be that ungrateful person!" In the end, Tao Qian made a decision, the city will not be cut, and no people will be sent, but the amount of compensation can be negotiated!

In this way, after several exchanges of letters, the two sides officially sent envoys to each other, and finally reached an agreement in a very short time, Xuzhou will not cede the city, but will send 55 pieces of corn to send Cao Jun out of the country.

As for Liu Bei, Cao Cao doesn't have the energy to deal with him now!
