Chapter 300: Cao Cao Defeats Tao Qian
The time and people are urging each other, and the winter solstice is coming again.
The spring breeze blows across the land of Kyushu, the flowers bloom all over the field, the willow leaves spit out new, and everything in this world begins to move again under the vibration of spring thunder.
In Changyi, the seat of Yanzhou's governorship and the pastoral mansion, Cao Cao gathered the general civil and military to discuss things.
On Cao Cao's side, there stood a burly strong man with two thick halberds in his hands, none other than Dian Wei.
Dian Wei was originally a subordinate general of Zhang Miao, the Taishou of Dongjun, and later attached to Cao Cao, and it is precisely because of this that the relationship between Zhang Miao and Cao Cao became more and more estranged.
The two columns of the squad are the ministers and the generals, and the ministers are headed by Cheng Yu, and the lineup of generals is quite impressive.
The two brothers Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun, the two brothers Cao Hong and Cao Ren, plus Yu Ban, Le Jin and others, should not be underestimated.
In such a comparison, the strategists are slightly thin, which Cao Cao is very envious of Zhao Qian.
Cao Cao also recruited talents everywhere, but the identity of a Yanzhou pastor, and Yanzhou is not a big state, so it is not very attractive.
"The lord summoned us to come, but for Xuzhou Tao Qian?" Cheng Yu asked.
Cao Cao nodded and said: "Yes, Tao Qian harmed my father, this hatred is not shared, and now that the weather is warmer, it is the time to use soldiers." ”
As soon as the words fell, Dian Wei next to him turned to Cao Cao, clasped his fists with both hands, and said angrily: "Lord, Wei is willing to lead 20,000 elite soldiers as the vanguard to clear the way for the lord!" ”
Cao Cao was overjoyed, and just as he was about to give the order, Xiahou Dun on the side also flashed out and said: "Lord, I am also willing to be the vanguard and avenge Cao Gong!" ”
"Good!" Cao Cao shouted: "Xiahoudun, Dian Wei listen to the order!" ”
"The last general!"
"Thou shalt two men, each with 10,000 horses, as the vanguard, I will lead the army to follow." Cao Cao said.
"Order!"
Cao Cao nodded, and said to Cheng Yu again: "Demou, the matter of Yanzhou will be handed over to you, and nothing can go wrong." ”
Cheng Yu bowed his hand and said, "Don't worry, Yu will do his best!" ”
"Good! Inform the three armies, three days later, I vow to level Xuzhou and avenge my father! Cao Cao shouted loudly.
"Revenge!"
Three days later, Cao Cao's army set out from Yanzhou, passed through the territory of Yanzhou Peiguo, and entered Xuzhou, with Pengcheng bearing the brunt of the attack.
In Picheng, the seat of Xuzhou, Tao Qian looked sad, looked at his subordinates, and said, "Now that Cao Cao is really here, how to deal with it?" ”
Xuzhou Don't drive Mi Zhu frowned and said: "Cao Cao is menacing, and he has prepared for a winter, and the soldiers are brave, and it is difficult to resist. ”
Tao Qian glanced at Mi Zhu, and said quite dissatisfied: "If you can't resist, it's better to tie up the old man, send him to Cao Ying, and let him slaughter, so as not to worry about your life, how about it?" ”
Mi Zhu's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Lord Zhou Mu has misunderstood, I really don't mean that." ”
"Who can break Cao Bing?" Tao Qian didn't pay any attention to Mi Zhu anymore, but asked in a deep voice.
A general under the tent came out in response and said in a loud voice: "Cao Bing has arrived, how can he sit still and wait for death?" Although a certain is not talented, I am willing to help adults break it! ”
Tao Qian raised his eyes and saw that it was Cao Bao, the general of Xuzhou, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said: "General Cao is brave, Xuzhou is very lucky, and he points troops to meet Cao Cao!" ”
So, Tao Qian ordered his troops and horses, with Cao Bao as the main general, and Mi Zhu's brother Mi Fang as the deputy general, and rushed to Pengcheng.
??? After coming to Pengcheng, the two armies faced each other outside the city, Tao Qian looked up, and Cao Cao's sergeants were all plain and white, as if they had just had a heavy snowfall.
In the position of the Chinese army, there are two other big flags, black on a white background, one side is written "revenge", and the other side is written "snow hatred".
After a while, a person dressed in a vegetarian body stepped out of the battle on a horse with four hooves yellow and a snow-white body, glaring at Tao Qian.
This person is Cao Cao, and the horse he is riding on is also a famous horse, called "Claw Yellow Flying Lightning".
"Tao Qian, old horseman! Kill my father, this hatred is not shared, I vow to level Xuzhou! Cao Cao said angrily.
Tao Qian snorted coldly, and Lang Sheng responded: "Cao Cao, the one who killed your father is Zhang Min, what does it have to do with me?" It is better to withdraw the troops quickly, lest the swords and soldiers meet each other and increase the casualties. ”
"Phew!" Cao Cao was furious, "Old horseman, if there is no instruction, how dare Zhang Min kill my father, Hugh has to shirk it, and quickly lead the neck to death!" ”
"Cao Cao, even if the old man ordered him to kill, you just take my life, why bother to level Xuzhou? This is not the work of the righteous. Tao Qian shouted.
Cao Cao raised his whip and shouted: "The murderer of his father, what face do you have to talk about benevolence and righteousness with me, and you and other well-dressed beasts must be buried together!" ”
Tao Qian wanted to defend himself, but Cao Cao couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted, "Who can capture this old man for me!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Xiahou Dun came out in response, brandishing a big knife and killing Tao Qian, behind Tao Qian, Cao Bao shouted, grabbed the prancing horse, and came to meet him.
The two horses intersected, and Xiahoudun flew up and down with a big knife, killing Cao Bao and retreating, and he was about to be cut off the horse.
At this moment, there was a sudden strong wind, sand and rocks flew around, and his eyes could hardly be opened.
Over there, Tao Qian also hurried to mingle gold, and the two armies stopped the soldiers and horses, stopped the battle for the time being, and then theorized after the wind stopped.
After Tao Qian entered the city, he summoned Cao Bao and asked, "General Cao is the opponent of Xiahoudun?" ”
Cao Bao looked ashamed, shook his head and said: "If it is not his opponent, if I fight for ten more rounds, I will be defeated by his sword." ”
Tao Qian was obviously very dissatisfied with Cao Bao's answer, but there was no way, since he had confessed to it, he couldn't forcibly send him to death.
"How's that to be?" Tao Qian frowned and sighed.
"Don't worry, my lord, although Cao Cao's army is large, but Tao Gongjiu Town Xuzhou, the army and the people are united, Cao Cao can't break the city between eagerness, so that people can ask for help from others, and the public retreats Cao's soldiers."
When Tao Qian heard this, he hurriedly looked up, and it turned out to be Chen Deng, the captain of the agricultural school under his account, so he asked, "Who can I ask for help?" ”
Chen Deng smiled slightly and said: "At this moment, only Qingzhou Yuan Tan and Huaiyang Yuan Shu have time to save Xuzhou." ”
Tao Qian nodded and said: "I have always been good friends with Yuan Shu, and he has an enmity with Cao Cao, so he will definitely be able to help, but Yuan Tan, a junior, what is the ability to retreat from Cao Cao?" ”
Chen Deng smiled and said: "Then Yuan Tan is nothing, but behind him is Yuan Shao, so Cao Cao has to think about it." ”
"Yuanlong is reasonable, so who should be sent to ask for help?" Tao Qian asked.
Chen Deng arched his hand and said: "I am willing to go to Huaiyang for the lord and ask Yuan Shu to send troops to rescue, as for Qingzhou, it must be Elk Zhong." ”
Tao Qian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Zizhong, are you willing to go to Qingzhou." ”
