"Oh? Is Brother Cao Ning really willing to help me? After Lu Rui heard Cao Ning's words, he couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, and asked Cao Ning.

"Don't worry, General Lu, I will definitely help you take this Xuzhou, this Tao Qian is really hateful, this kind of person is what I hate the most in my life, General Lu is not polite, as long as there is a place to get my Cao Ning in this battle, just open your mouth, whatever I Cao Ning says, I will teach that Tao Qian a good lesson." Cao Ning patted Lu Rui's chest and said.

"Okay, then in that case, Lu Mou will thank Brother Cao here first, if Brother Cao needs anything in the future, just come to me, as long as I Lu Rui can do it, I will try my best to do it for you." Lu Rui said to Cao Ning.

"Haha, General Lu is serious, but I don't know what General Lu needs me to do now?" Cao Ning asked Lu Rui.

"Well, what we need to do now is to defend for the time being, no matter what, we can't give Tao Qian a chance to send troops for help, as for other things, we will consume them first, as long as they are at the point of running out of ammunition and food, then the possibility of us being able to win will increase a lot, and it is even possible to take down Pengcheng without spending a single soldier." Lu Rui said to Cao Ning.

"That is to say, General Lu, you are not going to fight them now?" Cao Ning didn't feel a little disappointed when he heard this, he originally thought that he would be able to fight happily, but now it seems that such a possibility is not very great, at least for a while, Cao Ning needs to live here.

"Hehe, Brother Cao doesn't have to be like this, so be it! I promised Brother Cao that as long as there is a chance to attack Pengcheng, I will definitely let General Cao serve as the vanguard general, and let Brother Cao teach Tao Qian a good lesson, as for this time, you will live with me first, rest assured, I will definitely treat Brother Cao with absolute kindness in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, after all, I treat you as my own brother. Lu Rui smiled at Cao Ning.

"In this case, I will obey General Lu's arrangement!" Cao Ning said to Lu Rui.

"Okay, Wang Yu, you take General Cao to the best camp, and during this time, General Cao will live with us." Now that Cao Ning has agreed, Lu Rui said to Wang Yu.

Hearing this, after Wang Yu agreed, he walked out with Cao Ning, and it didn't take long for everyone in the barracks to know the news that Cao Ning came here, but they didn't say anything, because in the hearts of many generals, Cao Ning was sent by Cao Cao to befriend Lu Rui, so no one disliked Cao Ning, and as for a strategist like Liu Bowen, he didn't say anything, after all, now Liu Bowen already has 101 basic intelligence, and he can naturally think about the reason why Lu Rui did this. So Liu Bowen also chose to accept Cao Ning.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed, but on this day, Tao Qian is in a hurry, for no other reason, because he already knows that Lu Rui has sent people to attack other places in Xuzhou, don't ask him how he knows, judging from the current situation, it is not easy for Lu Rui to deliberately let one or two people in? During this time, almost all other areas except Pengcheng have been occupied, and all Tao Qian's henchmen have been imprisoned, after all, now is not the time to solve these henchmen, but no matter what, one thing is true now, that is, Tao Qian has now become an existence without any support, on the contrary, Lu Rui already has enough capital to spend with him.

"Damn, this Lu Rui is simply too deceitful, and he actually forced me to such a point." Tao Qian smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground and scolded at the ground.

"My lord, our grain and grass can't last long, according to the current consumption rate, it is estimated that our grain and grass will be exhausted in a few days, when the time comes, what should we do?" Zang Ba came to Tao Qian and asked Tao Qian.

Hearing Zang Ba's question, Tao Qian also had a headache for a while, this is indeed a big problem in front of him, if this problem is not solved, then there will only be failure. As for the fate of failure, there is only one, and that is to be exterminated by Lu Rui.

"Humph! Since this Lu Rui child is so deceitful too much, then I, Tao Gongzu, will fight to the death with him, the big deal is that the final outcome is a death, surrender is a death, and a death battle is also a death in the end, then in this case, even if it is death, I will pull a few backs, you go down immediately to prepare, two days later, I will lead everyone out of the city to fight to the death with Lu Rui. By the way, you take people to the people's homes to see, all the young and middle-aged people are forcibly requisitioned, in addition, if there are all the things worth using in those people's homes are forcibly taken away, don't pretend to be good people at this time, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, remember to control the people in the city and don't let them have any riots, once there are bad circumstances, they will be killed. Tao Qian was really ruthless at this time, and actually said such a decision, but this is also human nature, I am really afraid that there are few people who will be a virgin at a critical juncture, and usually treat the people with kindness because they still have interests to get from the people, and when it comes to the crisis, few people will care about the life and death of the people, as long as they do not die, it is the greatest success.

After Zang Ba heard Tao Qian's words, he didn't say anything, and he couldn't say anything, because at this time, Tao Qian had lost most of his mind, and if Zang Ba talked nonsense at this time, then the end would only be like that.

A day later, in front of the tent of Lu Rui's legion, a soldier saw a person coming to the gate of the barracks, and couldn't help but point the weapon in his hand and shouted at the man: "Who are you?" This is an important place for military camps, and idlers are not allowed to enter. ”

"I'm Zang Ba! It was Tao Qian's subordinates, and this time he came to see General Lu Ruilu on important matters. Zang Ba said to the soldier.

"You say you're Tao Qian's subordinate? It's not a small courage to dare to come here to spread wilderness, brothers, take down this guy for me and hand it over to the lord for punishment. "That soldier is none other than Wei Lin, who is in charge of patrolling the barracks tonight, after Wei Lin heard Zang Ba say that he was Tao Qian's person, he couldn't help but snort coldly, greeted a few soldiers, and hit Zang Ba without saying a word.

Although Zang Ba's strength is not top-notch, it is impossible to clean him up just by relying on Wei Lin and a few other small soldiers, so Wei Lin and the others were not surprised, they were all knocked down by Zang Ba.

However, Zang Ba still had a good grasp of proportion, and he also knew that he wanted to come to Lu Rui this time, and he was definitely not allowed to kill people here, so Wei Lin and the others were not in danger of their lives.

"Who? Dare to come here to spread wild. At this time, Meng Hui led a team of people and horses over, and after seeing Wei Lin who was thrown to the ground, he couldn't help but say loudly to Zang Ba.

"In Xia Zangba! It was the general under Tao Qian, who came here this time because he wanted to discuss something with General Lu, and asked the general to report on his behalf. After Zang Ba saw Meng Heng, he felt that Meng Heng seemed to be a relatively high-status figure, so he said to Meng Heng.

"My lord is very busy now, if you tell me something, I can tell you about it." After hearing Zang Ba say that he was Tao Qian's subordinate, Meng Hui couldn't help frowning, and said very coldly to Zang Ba.

"No, this matter is very important, I must personally meet General Lu and discuss with General Lu." Zang Ba wouldn't believe Meng Heng like this, so he said to Meng Heng.

"General Puyu, leave us alone, quickly take down this guy and hand it over to the lord to punish the crime, you must not let this guy leave here!" At this time, before Meng Heng could speak, Wei Lin grabbed Zang Ba's feet and said loudly to Meng Heng.

Zang Ba obviously didn't expect Wei Lin to come like this suddenly, so without saying a word, he knocked on Wei Lin's stamina, and then, Wei Lin's whole person passed out.
