Chapter 439: Persecuting Tao Qian
In an instant, Tao Qian seemed to have imagined that Cao Cao's soldiers and horses had invaded the city, the wanton slaughter, and the bloody and miserable picture.
"Slow!! Meng De is angry, the old man promises you! ”
After Tao Qian drank this sentence, it was as if half of his soul had been forcibly drained, and the whole person was immediately deflated. Cao Cao was still full of anger and anger on the surface, but in fact, he laughed in his heart, and after making a gesture suddenly, the vanguard troops behind him who were about to rush to kill immediately stopped, and they were neat and consistent, and the order must be carried out, which shows the elite of his soldiers and horses.
"Old man, I will give you three days to withdraw your soldiers and horses from Pengcheng, and in ten days, there will be no soldiers in Xuzhou!"
Cao Cao stared at Tao Qian deadly, every word in his words was cold, how dare Tao Qian disobey Cao Cao at this time, and he agreed in shame at the moment.
After that, the two of them didn't say a word, and they rode back. After Cao Cao returned to the battle, he ordered 100,000 elite soldiers to withdraw thirty miles away and set up camp for the time being. After Tao Qian returned to the city with a lost face, he was silent, and the soldiers did not answer their questions, and sat quietly on the platform of the city for an unknown amount of time, until the night was misty, and suddenly called two generals, each issued an order, and sent a dozen to order the withdrawal of troops, and ordered him to call the soldiers and horses in the city to prepare for the march, and withdraw from Pengcheng three days later.
At night, in Cao Cao's tent, Cao Cao was completely untouched when he faced Tao Qian, with sadness and anger on his face, and laughed loudly on the big seat.
"Hahahaha. Sure enough, as Feng Xiao expected, this Tao Gongzu had already agreed to my request and gave up Peng Cheng and Xiapi. In this way, we will get half of Xuzhou without bloodshed. This time, Fengxiao, you can be said to have made a great contribution! ”
Guo Jia, who was sitting in the second seat on the left, looked calm and flat, smiled lightly, slowly stood up, and bowed his hand.
"The lord has praised it, and it is Jia's duty to be a counselor."
And Jia Xu, who was sitting next to Guo Jia, listened to it, but said to Cao Cao with a smile.
"Hehe, Guo Saijiu is really modest. Guo Saijiu has never had contact with Tao Gongzu, and just by his usual demeanor, he can predict the prophet and know what is moving in his heart. Set up a plan one step earlier, so that the lord will not blow his hands and get half of Xuzhou.
Therefore, the 100,000 elite soldiers of the lord did not hurt a single person, and the state was at its peak, coupled with the news that half of Xuzhou fell into the lord, the morale of the whole army was greatly increased. And a month later, it was impossible for Tao Gongzu to find Cao Taigong. His soldiers and horses were forced by the power of the lord's 100,000 elite soldiers day and night, and at that time the morale must be the lowest, and the will to fight was completely lost, how could he resist the lord's 100,000 male soldiers.
At present, the lord first divided the 100,000 male soldiers into two armies, and after a month, the two teams of armies from Pengcheng and Xiapi will be dispatched together, waving the army straight up, and will be able to break every battle, and it will not take half a year to Xuzhou will fall into the hands of the lord. And without Guo's clever plan to sacrifice wine, the lord would never have been able to get the whole of Xuzhou so easily. ”
Guo Jia listened to Jia Xu's praise, but he didn't have half of the expression, he was still flat, smiled slightly, and gave Jia Xu a slight salute. Speaking of which, this Jia Xu's temperament is really strange, since Guo Jia came, he has vaguely and unconsciously collected a lot of limelight, sometimes when Cao Cao discussed the strategy, when the strategy was almost finalized, Jia Xu still didn't say a word, as if it didn't exist. If it weren't for Cao Cao's presence, when he took Yanzhou, Jia Xu would have made a great contribution. Jia Xu's position as a military advisor has long been replaced. And Jia Xu will arch Guo Jia from time to time, with the intention of giving up the position of military advisor to Guo Jia.
"The wood is beautiful in the forest, will the wind destroy it? Jia Wenhe, you are so smart. ”
Guo Jia secretly slandered in his heart, in fact, there are some truths that many people understand, but if you really want to put it into action, how many people can do it. It is impossible for a person who does not have great wisdom and forbearance to get used to it to the end.
And Cao Cao, a peerless hero, knows whether Jia Xu's thoughts or not, no one knows. But faintly, Guo Jia and Jia Xu are in Cao Cao's mind, and Guo Jia's position is obviously much higher than Jia Xu's, which can be seen from Cao Cao's behavior in recent months that he must first ask Guo Jia's opinion on everything. However, if there are some big plans that need to be decided, even if Cao Cao doesn't ask, Jia Xu will make a plan to make an analysis. Just like this time, Cao Cao wanted to seek Xuzhou, in which Jia Xu did a lot of analysis for Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao could see the overall situation more clearly.
'Poisoner' Jia Xu and 'Ghost Talent' Guo Jia, both of them are super-first-class strategists and talents. Perhaps only Cao Cao, a peerless hero, can resist it.
However, he said that Tao Qian agreed to Cao Cao's request, and as agreed, he withdrew 30,000 Xuzhou and Pengcheng three days later, and the Xuzhou soldiers who stayed in Xiapi ten days later also withdrew. Cao Cao divided 100,000 elite soldiers into two armies, one army was led by Cao Ren, and Jia Xu, as a military division in the army, led Yu Ban, Li Dian, Le Jin and other generals, and 30,000 soldiers rushed to Xiapi. The other army was led by Cao Cao, supplemented by Guo Jia, Xiahou Brothers, Dian Wei and other civil and military forces, leading 70,000 elite soldiers to guard Pengcheng. The two armies, like two huge evil tigers, peeped at the remaining Donghai and Guangling counties in Xuzhou.
As for Tao Qian's return to the East China Sea, when his civil and military forces heard that Tao Qian had ceded Pengcheng and Xiapi to Cao Cao, the county palace exploded. The civil and military bureaucrats in Xuzhou quarreled with each other, saying that Tao Qian's move was undoubtedly to dedicate Xuzhou's hands to Cao Mengde. The quarrel made Tao Qian two big, and because of Cao Taigong's incident, the elderly Tao Qian almost couldn't sleep at night, his health became worse and worse, and he fainted unconsciously. After everyone rescued him, he sent Tao Qian back to the governor's mansion, and then called the doctor, and later everyone heard the doctor say that Tao Qian fainted due to excessive pressure and physical exhaustion. After everyone listened, they made up their minds, at this time Xuzhou is in danger, if Tao Qian has any accidents, then there is almost no need to think about it, Xuzhou will fall into the hands of Cao Cao.
A few days later, Tao Qian woke up leisurely, and after getting up in a hurry, the first thing he did was to call the soldiers and ask if he had found Cao Taigong. Hearing that the search was fruitless, and that the one-month deadline was less than half a month left, Tao Qian's originally pale and colorless face became even more gloomy, and he no longer rested, and hurriedly rushed to the county palace to summon a group of civil and military personnel to discuss.
Half an hour later, Xuzhou's civil and military forces gathered together, all with anxious faces. Tao Qian sat on the main seat and said that the deadline was approaching now, and if it was really impossible to find Cao Taigong, then what should it be.
Everyone is afraid of death, if it is not a last resort, how could Tao Qian voluntarily send him to death.
A few days ago, Chen learned that the lord had ceded Peng Cheng and Xiapi to Cao Mengde, and he felt that there must be a conspiracy. The lord thought that Cao Taigong was besieged and killed by outlaws like Zhang Min, how could he escape with his seventy-year-old body. And the guard who fled back said that he had lost Mrs. Cao. And we have been in the place of distress for many days, and we have not been seen. This dead and unseen corpse really makes people suspicious.
What's more, with Cao Mengde's nature, if his father really had an accident, he would definitely be angry and hateful, order the soldiers to attack wildly, and wash Xuzhou to hate him. How could it be possible to sit back and wait another month!? ”
Cao Cao was ambitious, and he had 200,000 elite soldiers, and there were many fierce generals and strategists under his command. Chen speculated that this was most likely a play manipulated by Cao Cao himself. In order to have an excuse to attack Xuzhou and expand its power! ”
The speaker is a native of Guangling, surnamed Chen, named Deng, and the character Yuanlong. This person and his father Chen Qi both have superb intelligence, born in a wealthy family, the Chen family is the most powerful wealthy family in Xuzhou, a few years ago Xuzhou boys, all can sing a ballad. Chen's Xi, Xuzhou Ding, Chen's anger, Xuzhou chaos. The Chen family is all tigers, Lord Fujun, let three points.
From this, it can be seen that the power of the Chen family in Xuzhou is huge. In order to stabilize Xuzhou, Tao Qian gave Chen Qi and Chen Deng high positions, and Xuzhou's big and small policies must first ask Chen's father and son for their opinions before they dare to implement them. And Chen's father and son are also first-class strategists, helping Tao Qian to manage Xuzhou in an orderly manner, the people are happy, and there has never been a rebellion.
Chen Dengzhizhi, all the civil and military officers already knew it, and after hearing it, Tao Qian also felt that this matter was very possible, and shouted angrily.
"Cao Mengde is so insidious and cunning!! I only hate that the old man fell for this person's tricks, and gave up Peng Cheng and Xiapi, and he couldn't regret it, and he couldn't regret it!! ”
"Wow!!"
Tao Qian was so angry that his white hair almost stood up, his eyes were about to burst out, and his stomach was full of remorse and anger, rushing to his heart, causing Tao Qian to spurt out a mouthful of blood on the spot.
"Lord!"
A group of civil and military officers in Xuzhou saw Tao Qian spurting blood, and hurriedly drank it. After Tao Qian spurted out a mouthful of blood, although his face was even more gloomy, but his whole body was much more comfortable, Tao Qian waved his hand, and his mouth full of blood opened and asked, what is the way for the civil and military to repel Cao Cao. Cao Cao deceived him so much and toyed him in applause, Tao Qian had already made up his mind at this time that he would rather die than let Xuzhou fall into Cao Cao's hands!
"The town of Xuzhou is grateful. Although there are many Cao soldiers today, because of their own selfish desires, they made up excuses and invaded Xuzhou, which is really against heaven and humanity. But at the moment, there is still a lot of time to try to avoid this catastrophe. Although a certain is not talented, he is willing to use a small strategy to solve the disaster in Xuzhou! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and asked if the plan would be released. Tao Qian's pale face suddenly swelled up with a hint of joy, seeing that the person who offered the plan was a native of Qu County, Donghai, surnamed Mi, named Zhu, and Zizhong. This person is a wealthy man, a giant in the East China Sea, and it is rumored that his net worth is huge enough to buy half of Donghai County!
Although Mi Zhu is a giant, he is not like an ordinary giant, and he only knows interests and profits. He gave up his family wealth, helped the poor and pulled out the hardships, and was deeply praised by the people of Xuzhou.
When Tao Qian heard this, he was overjoyed and exclaimed.
"Zizhong, teach me quickly."
Mi Zhu bowed deeply, and then said intently.
"A certain person is willing to go to Beihai County in person and ask Kong Rong to raise troops to rescue. Kong Rong is the twentieth grandson of Confucius, who has been intelligent since childhood, respected, understands etiquette and righteousness, and is a great sage today. A certain and Kong Rong said that Cao Mengde had done his evil deeds, and Kong Rong would definitely send troops to help. The prince and the people stick to not going out, and when I order the rescue soldiers to arrive, they will attack together with the soldiers of Xuzhou, and they will be able to repel Cao Mengde! ”
"If Kong Beihai is willing to help, the crisis in Xuzhou can be solved!"
Tao Qian was overjoyed, so he immediately wrote a book and handed it to Mi Zhu. Mi Zhu took the letter, said goodbye to Tao Qian, and immediately rushed back to his house, and after getting ready, he went to Beihai with the letter. After Mi Zhu left, Tao Qian discussed with Chen Deng and other civil and military officers to collect soldiers and horses and garrison the East China Sea and Guangling.
At this time, Cao Cao did not know that his fake play had been made by Chen Yua, the captain of Xuzhou Diannong
The dragon saw through it.
However, it is said that the thieves are embraced, although the white wave thieves in Nanyang and Bingzhou, and the black mountain thieves in Qing and Yanzhou have all been broken by various princes. But there are still many fish that have slipped through the net, and they are still igniting wars around the world.
In Beihai, half a month ago, the Yellow Turban Thieves led tens of thousands of Kou to kill and besiege the city for several days. Guan Hai threatened Kong Rong to borrow 10,000 stones of grain and grass, otherwise after breaking the city, he would slaughter the people, leaving no old and young!
