For Cao Cao, Yan Shao's face with Tao Qian is undoubtedly something worth gloating. After all www.biquge.info Yan Shao was still helping Tao Qian against him not long ago, and at this time, the two turned their faces, no matter how you look at it, it is a very funny thing.

The only pity is that if he is attacking at this time, Cao Cao is absolutely confident that he will be able to drive straight into Xiapi City. Considering the current situation in Xuzhou, maybe Cao Cao will be able to go down in one go, achieve his long-cherished wish that he had not achieved before, completely take Xuzhou, and become one of the few princes who can occupy two states at this time.

Unfortunately, he still has a very important problem to solve before thinking about these beautiful things.

Lu Bu...

The so-called Lu Bu among people, red rabbit among horses, Lu Bu's terror is undoubted, not only is his martial arts a grade beyond everyone, but even his ability to lead troops in combat is terrifying and amazing. 、

Under his command, the thousands of soldiers and horses of the state were almost irresistible, especially when Lu Bu rushed to the forefront of them, acting as an arrow, everything was completely different. Cao Cao led his troops to confront Lü Bu several times, but almost did not have any upper hand, especially in the Battle of Puyang, and almost died under Lü Bu's hands, which was also one of the most thrilling times Cao Cao had experienced since the Yellow Turban Uprising.

Before solving Lu Bu, even if you think about it too much, it's useless...

Or if Lu Bu's problem is not solved, Cao Cao will not be at peace. If you don't get it right, you may even end up in defeat and death, but Cao Cao doesn't want to get this result at all.

Fortunately, although Lu Bu is brave, he doesn't have much strategy, but what about Chen Gong? is a rare resourceful person, but he is the only one, and Cao Cao, in addition to Xun You, Xun Yu, and Xi Zhicai, is also a person who is proficient in strategy, four is more advantageous than one.

Moreover, Lu Bu didn't trust Chen Gong very much, and basically adopted the strategies offered by Chen Gong selectively, so that the chance of winning became smaller.

But...

For Cao Cao, Yan Shao's falling out with Tao Qian can be regarded as excellent news. Tao Qian's allies are nothing more than Yan Shao in the north and Yuan Shu in the south, how unreliable Yuan Shu is, Cao Cao, who has been familiar with him since he was a child, really knows it very well.

Without Yan Shao's help, Xuzhou was just a bag for Cao Cao. The only thing to worry about is that Yan Shao will also go south to snatch Xuzhou with him.

Fortunately, there is such a pressure from Yuan Shao, I believe that Yan Shao will not really turn his attention to the south in a short time, even if he really wants to annex Xuzhou, he is also powerless—————— Yuan Shao is no matter how ambitious and talented he is, as the overlord of the north, it is not something to be underestimated, and it is impossible to sit back and watch Yan Shao annex Xuzhou, and then find trouble for himself.

The reason why there was no movement in this attack on Langxie was because Yan Shao made it very clear that he only took Langxie and had no interest in Xuzhou, and the other was that Qingzhou did not dispatch all the troops, but only dispatched 30,000 soldiers and horses, and Qingzhou had Huang Zhong in charge.

Although Huang Zhong's reputation is not obvious now, and not many people know who this person is, just looking at Yan Shao's ability to put him on a par with Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, he knows that this is definitely a difficult role.

Of course, what really made Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan not act rashly was the movement of Gongsun Zan in the north.

For Yuan Shao, it is always Gongsun Zan of Youzhou who really makes him feel like a great enemy, as long as this opponent is not dead, Yuan Shao has no way to really turn his attention to Qingzhou, at most it is just a small fight.

—————————— Dividing Line——————————

Unlike Cao Cao's side, which still needs to solve Lu Bu's problem first, everything on Yan Shao's side seems, well, it's very hot...

Especially after Zang Ba chose to submit to him...

Without Zang Ba making trouble there, Yan Shao's progress in Lang Xie became much smoother. first successfully incorporated Kaiyang into his hands, and then sent someone to inform the defenders of Jucheng that Zang Ba had surrendered.

To be reasonable, Jucheng has been able to hold on to the present, on the one hand, because of the anticipation of Xuzhou's reinforcements, and on the other hand, because of Zang Ba.

Maybe on the Xiapi side, Tao Qian and the others don't know Zang Ba's ability very well, but those of them who are in Langxie know very well that Zang Ba is second to none among the generals in Xuzhou in terms of martial arts and command ability, and it can even be said that he is far above others.

Although the current situation of Lang Xie is indeed a little inexplicable, but with Zang Ba here, at least there is still a little hope. What's more, Cao Cao has withdrawn his troops, which means that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses located near Xiapi have all been released, as long as this part of the soldiers and horses goes north, it is not impossible to break the siege.

But...

When the defenders of Jucheng learned that Zang Ba had also chosen to take refuge in Yan Shao, the morale of the army collapsed. As for those soldiers, for those soldiers, they don't know how powerful Zang Ba is. After all, the current Zang Ba is just a small person, and it is the generals who are responsible for defending the city that really collapse. Only they know what Zang Ba is capable of, and they understand that it is Zang Ba who can really save Lang Evil.

But now, even Zang Ba has taken refuge in Yan Shao, so what is the need for the rest of the people to continue to insist?

Maybe it's because I thought about this clearly, not long after the news of Zang Ba's surrender reached Jucheng, Jucheng also chose to surrender. The people sent in by Yan Shao have already made it very clear that Zang Ba has surrendered, and the only person who has the ability to save them is gone.

As for the reinforcements from the Xiapi side?

I'm sorry, but at least until Jucheng is breached, the reinforcements from Xiapi may not be able to come? If the defenders of Jucheng want to challenge the limit? Of course, it can be, but Yan Shao doesn't think they can hold out for two or three months, and according to the information Yan Shao got from Xuzhou, Xuzhou really wants to send troops north, and it is absolutely impossible to go north without a month or two.

Considering the war-weariness that prevailed in Xuzhou, it was not impossible to delay even a little longer.

In this way, there is naturally no need to continue to resist, after all, Jucheng itself has been given up.

As for why you asked, why Yan Shao sent people to say that they believed it? Because Yan Shao sent someone they had to believe in...

Cao Hong...

Don't look at Cao Hong, who didn't leave too many names in history, at least in Xuzhou, he can't compare to Chen Deng or Mi Zhu at all. However, as Tao Qian's closest and most favored person, his status is quite high. Ordinary people are not qualified to see him at all, at least in some small cities in Xuzhou, even county orders and the like are not qualified.

However, Jucheng is the place where Lang evil is governed, and Lang evil has this qualification, and it is impossible not to recognize who Cao Hong is.

With Cao Hong cooperating there, the result seems to be self-evident.

As for why Cao Hong is so cooperative?

Because Yan Shao said very clearly, if Cao Hong does not cooperate, then on the day the city is broken, the first thing to fall will be his head...

Cao Hong is not a mighty and unyielding person, not to mention that as Tao Qian's closest person, he knows very well that it is impossible for the soldiers and horses of Xiapi to go north in the short term, and what about the situation in Jucheng?

As soon as he entered the city, Cao Hong was already shocked.

The situation in Jucheng is not optimistic, or it is extremely bad. There are only a few sick and disabled soldiers and horses left in the city, and there are almost not many left, and many places rely on the people mobilized in the city to help, so they can hold on—————— fortunately, although Tao Qian is a little confused, he is also a little cautious, but he is not bad in treating the people, so Xuzhou was invaded, and the people were willing to help. 、

But even so, Jucheng has already suffered heavy losses, not to mention those people who don't even have armor. These days, they have relied on stones to defend the city, but when the Qingzhou army came to the city wall? How can they be the opponent of the wolf-like Qingzhou Army?

Eun, I'm sorry, I'll make up for it in the next two hours!!
