Chapter 25 Cao Cao's Blood Xuzhou
Not to mention that Xuanyu and others went to check the ancient tomb on Xuanyuan Mountain, but also said that Cao Cao raised an army of 700,000 to attack Xuzhou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
On that day, after Cao Cao heard that his father had died at the hands of Zhang Min, a subordinate of Tao Qian in Xuzhou, he cried almost fainting that night, and vowed to wash Xuzhou in blood to avenge his father.
Within a month, Cao Cao dispatched troops, leaving Cheng Yu to lead 200,000 troops to guard Juancheng, Fanxian, and Dong'e counties, and personally led 700,000 troops to Xuzhou. Xiahoudun, Yu Ban, and Dian Wei are the front.
Cao Cao ordered that all the people in the city should be slaughtered as he passed, and he would take revenge on his father.
Cao Cao obtained several cities in Xuzhou, and the chickens and dogs in the city were not left, and the old and the young died. The corpse-eating birds above the city hung for several days, and the sound of mourning and tragedy could be heard for miles away.
At that time, Chen Gong was engaged in Tao Qian, who had an old relationship with Cao Cao, and had a very close personal relationship with Tao Qian, and heard that Cao Cao raised troops to take revenge and slaughtered all the people, so he rushed to see Cao Cao in the starry night.
Cao Cao knew Chen Gong's intentions, and he didn't want to see him, but he really couldn't get rid of the old feelings, so he had to invite Chen Gong into the account to meet.
The two sat separately, and Chen Gong said: "I heard that the Ming soldiers are coming to Xuzhou, and they want to avenge their father's revenge. ”
Chen Gong said: "Tao Qian is a benevolent gentleman, and he is by no means a person who forgets his righteousness. The murder of his father was Zhang Min's disaster, not Tao Qian's fault. Besides, what enmity do the people of the state and county have against the public? Kill the people, and it is unknown. I hope that Ming Gong will think twice! ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he was immediately furious and said, "You once abandoned me, but now what face do you have to see?" Tao Qian killed my family, blood debt should need blood, I swear to kill him, pick the guts and dig out the heart, and I hate the snow! Now you come to lobby for Tao Qian's thief, although you and I have an old relationship, but I don't listen, what can you do? ”
"Hey!" Chen Gong sighed and left.
"What face do I have to see Tao Gong!" Chen Gong sighed again and again, and went south to Yuan Shu.
Wherever Cao Cao's army passed, they continued to kill people and dig graves, which was unbearable.
Tao Qian was in Xuzhou City, and when he heard that Cao Cao raised an army to take revenge and kill the people, he looked up to the sky and cried: "I have suffered from heaven and been a thief by others, I am sorry for the people of Xuzhou!" Then the ministry was convened to discuss countermeasures.
Tao Qian had a general, named Cao Bao, who said among the crowd: "Since the Cao army has already arrived in the city, why not fight?" A certain is willing to break the enemy for the king! ”
Tao Qian had no choice but to march to meet the enemy.
Looking at the Cao army from afar, everything is vegetarian, such as frost and snow, the Chinese army erected two snow-white flags, with the words "revenge" and "snow hate" written on it.
The military horses formed a formation, and Cao manipulated the horses to come out, wearing a vegetarian shirt, and raised his whip and scolded.
Tao Qian came out of the battle and bowed to him and said: "Qian originally intended to make friends with Cao Gong, so that Zhang Min escorted his father, but Zhang Min was difficult to change his thief nature, causing a big disaster." Qian didn't expect it, he really didn't do anything about humility, and I hope that Cao Gong will see it! ”
Cao Cao saw Tao Qian's wronged look, he immediately became angry, and scolded directly: "Old horseman, kill my father, and dare to talk nonsense!" Then he turned and shouted in the middle of the battle, "Who can capture this thief alive?" ”
In the military formation, Xiahou Tang came out in response, Tao Qian hurriedly entered the battle, and Cao Bao came to fight with a gun.
The two armies exchanged horses, and suddenly the wind blew fiercely, and the two armies were all in disarray, and they withdrew their own troops.
Tao Qian entered the city and discussed with everyone: "Cao's army is overwhelming, I will go to Cao's camp by myself and let it be disposed of to save the people of Yizhou!" ”
Before he finished speaking, a person said: "Xuzhou, the town of Fujun for a long time, is loved by the people." Although Cao Cao is powerful now, he can't break my city immediately. The prince and the people can't hold out, and if there is a plan, Cao Cao will definitely be able to withdraw from the army! ”
When Tao Qian heard this, he hurriedly looked at it, this person was from Ju County, Donghai, surnamed Mi, named Zhu, and Zizhong. Hearing that Mi Zhu had a plan, Tao Qian hurriedly asked, "Will the plan be released?" ”
Mi Zhu said: "I am willing to go to Beihai County and ask Kong Rong Taishou to send troops to rescue; Send another person to Tiankai in Qingzhou and ask for rescue. Two troops were dispatched, and Cao Cao will definitely retreat! ”
Tao Qian was overjoyed and immediately sent a person to Qingzhou, and Mi Zhu went to Beihai in person. Since that day, Tao Qian has not been able to come out, no matter how Cao Cao fights, Tao Qian will not come out.
Let's say that when Mi Zhu came to Beihai, Kong Rongcai and Liu Bei worked together to repel the rest of the Yellow Turban, and when they heard that Xuzhou Mi Zhu came to see him, Kong Rong invited him in.
Liu Bei, Guan and Zhang brothers were also present, Kong Rong asked him about his intentions, Mi Zhu took out Tao Qian's letter, and said: "Cao Cao's siege is very urgent, and I hope that Ming Gong will save him!" ”
After Kong Rong read the letter, he passed the letter to Liu Bei on the side, and said at the same time: "I have a very good relationship with Tao Gong, and now Zizhong is close to him, why don't you go?" However, I have no grievances with Cao Cao, and I will send a letter to persuade peace, if Cao Cao does not obey, I will help in the army! ”
Mi Zhu said: "Cao Cao relies on the strength of the army and will never negotiate peace!" ”
Kong Rong sighed, and while ordering troops to send generals, he sent someone to deliver the letter.
At this time, Liu Bei, who had read the letter, also said: "Tao Gong is kind, he is a benevolent gentleman, and he must not be wronged by this innocent!" ”
Mi Zhu on the side didn't recognize Liu Bei, so he raised his eyes to Kong Rong, Kong Rong suddenly introduced: "This is the emperor's uncle Liu Bei, these two are his younger brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who fought against Lu Bu in front of the Tiger Prison Pass!" ”
Mi Zhu was overjoyed when he heard this: "The public is worthy of being a clan member of the Han family!" ”
After several people discussed, Kong Rong first asked Mi Zhu to return to Xuzhou to report, and Liu Bei also repaired a letter and sent someone to Cao Cao.
After Mi Zhu left, Liu Bei said: "There are few soldiers in the reserve army, if you want to rescue Xuzhou, I'm afraid you need to go back to Youzhou!" ”
Kong Rong nodded, indicating that he understood.
Liu Bei did not delay, and went back to Youzhou directly to find Gongsun Zan to borrow troops.
At this time, Tai Shici came to see Kong Rong and came to resign.
"Taishou is in trouble, Ci is ordered by his mother, come to help Taishou, now the thieves have gone, my mother has sent a letter, asking a certain to go to Luoyang, a certain has to do, I hope Taishou forgives!"
It turned out that Tai Shi Ci lived outside Beihai City, and Kong Rong was in Beihai to spread Ende, and when Guan Hai attacked, Tai Shi Ci's mother asked Tai Shi Ci to help in order to repay Kong Rong's benevolence. Now, the crisis has been solved, and it coincides with Xuanyu's promulgation of the "Recruitment Order", and his mother wants Tai Shici to serve the country, so she let him go to Luoyang. And Tai Shici is the most filial person, which is better than Zhao Yun, and his mother's order naturally has to be obeyed.
After bidding farewell to Kong Rong, Tai Shici went to Luoyang.
Kong Rong raised troops first, and after Liu Bei borrowed 20,000 horses from Gongsun Zhan, plus the previous 30,000, it was enough for 50,000.
I have to say that Gongsun Chan has done his best to Liu Bei and is quite good, and now Gongsun Chan is fighting with Yuan Shao, Liu Bei came to borrow troops, Gongsun Chan didn't say a word, and borrowed it directly.
Mi Zhu returned to Xuzhou to report, saying that Kong Rong agreed to send troops, and Liu Bei also heard the news; Someone reported that Qingzhou Tian Kai also agreed to send troops. Hearing this news, Tao Qian's heart settled down a little.
When Kong Rong and Tian Kai came with two military horses, they saw that Cao Cao's army was strong, so they went down to the village from a distance and did not dare to approach lightly. Cao Cao saw that the two armies came to the rescue, and he also divided his army to deal with it, and did not dare to attack the city again.
Let's say that Liu Bei led the army to meet him, and Kong Rong greeted him.
The two of them went to the tent and sat separately, Kong Rong said: "Cao's troops are strong, and Cao Cao is very good at using soldiers, let's wait and see what happens, and slowly figure it out!" ”
Liu Bei was silent for a while, then said: "Although this is a safe plan, I am afraid that there will be insufficient grain and grass in Xuzhou City. In this way, I will leave Yunchang to help under the public subordinates, and I will lead troops with Yide to kill the Bencao camp, raid into the city, and discuss with Tao Gong! ”
Kong Rong thought about it for a while and said, "It's okay, Xuande must pay attention to his safety. ”
"Good!" After speaking, Liu Bei went back to prepare.
Kong Rong will meet with Tian Kai, and for the momentum of the horns, Yun Chang will lead troops to respond on the side.
Cao Cao's 700,000 troops, with a company camp of hundreds of miles, surrounded the city of Xuzhou.
On this day, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei led 5,000 men and horses to kill Cao Cao's village, and a drum sounded in the village, and the horse infantry soldiers were about to come out like a tide.
The first general, Yu Ban, shouted: "Where are the madmen! Where to go! ”
When Zhang Fei saw it, he didn't say anything, and went straight to the ban. The two horses intersected, and the battle reached the number of combinations, Liu Beiqing swung his double-strand sword and advanced greatly, and Zhang Fei was defeated and left.
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei didn't dare to fight, and went straight to the city of Xuzhou.
Seeing the red flag in the city, the white characters were written, and the book was "Liu Xuande of the Plains", and Tao Qian hurriedly opened the door.
After Liu Bei entered the city, Tao Qian personally greeted him, and the two went to the mansion together.
Tao Qian set up a banquet to entertain Liu and Zhang brothers, and during the banquet, he saw Liu Bei talking extraordinary, with a lofty appearance, and his heart was overjoyed. He ordered Mi Zhu to print the Xuzhou brand and wanted to give it to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei was stunned and asked, "This, what does Tao Gong mean?" ”
Tao Qian said: "Today's chaos, Wang Gang is sluggish, the prince is a member of the Han family, and he should support the community and revitalize the rivers and mountains." The old man is old and incompetent, so don't shirk it. Humility is the court and asks for the public's life! ”
Liu Bei was frightened, got up and thanked him: "Although Bei is a descendant of the Han family, his merits are low, and he is not enough to lead Xuzhou, so please don't mention it again." Be prepared to do your best to help the public retreat from the enemy! ”
Seeing that Liu Bei was earnest, Tao Qian did not mention this matter again.
The two armies were in a stalemate for several days, and on this day, Cao Cao was discussing countermeasures with Guo Jia, when suddenly a meteor probe Malay reported that Yuan Shu had broken through Yanzhou and had entered Puyang.
Cao Cao was shocked, Yanzhou is his hometown!
Is it going to be occupied by Yuan Shu?
Even when asked why, the spy said, "In the eastern part of Yanzhou, for some reason, many zombies appeared, many villages were slaughtered, and the soldiers and civilians were panicked. Now those zombies are crisscrossing the northeast of Yanzhou, elusive, and there are some injuries in Yuan Shu's army, but those zombies mainly attack the people in the village, so there are not many casualties in our army and Yuan Shu's army! ”
The spy didn't speak very clearly, and even trembled and feared a little when he spoke, but Cao Cao still understood.
Corpse?
What about Nima's teasing me?
Blue sky and white day, where did the zombies come from!
Whatever the reason, the Yanzhou base camp was attacked, which Cao Cao could not bear.
immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army, regardless of Xuzhou, and hurried back to Yanzhou.
"Zombies? Will there still be this thing in the human world? Cao Cao looked at the sky and asked angrily, not knowing who he was asking.
