Chapter 258: Tao Qian Lets Xuzhou (I)
Cracking sound.
Firewood flutters in the fireworks.
In the cold winter, the sky is frosty, and the corpses outside Xuzhou City are like a layer of sterling silver, and they are cold all over the body.
Because of the temperature, the fallen soldiers are not so prone to decay and plague, and the two armies are not in a hurry to clean up the battlefield, anyway...... The next day, I still have to cover a side of my comrades.
Inadvertently, the fire was violently shaken by a strong gust of wind and was almost extinguished. The next moment, countless black shadows appeared in the dim moonlight, sneaking around, the banner wrapped in armor, the pincer of the horse, and the dark tide surgingβ
Towards the camp outside the city of Xuzhou.
Finally!
A wave rises high, rushing and roaring.
Two big flags were unfurled in the cold wind, with the words "Cao" and "Xiahou" written on them.
A mighty general immediately slashed his sword, picked up two enemy troops in front of the battalion, and then raised his head to the sky and shouted: "Kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! β
Cao's army swept into the enemy camp like a storm crashing on the shore.
It's justβ
Apart from campfires and tied straw men, where are the enemies?
The wind roared, the bonfire moved, and Cao Jun's sneaking in the night gradually until it was completely exposed.
"Not good!" The leader of the general, Xiahou, exclaimed in surprise, and before the call fell, he heard the earth-shattering shouts of killing outside the camp.
"Medium plan also! The generals should not panic, and go out with a certain killing general and take the head of Liu Bei's little dog! β
The general did not panic at all, and in a few words stabilized the wavering military spirit, and then rushed towards the camp gate in the face of the rain of arrows, killing the enemy's vanguard soldiers like chopping melons and vegetables.
Cao Jun followed, the two torrents intersected and splashed in all directions, and the severed limbs and wreckage were swayed as if they didn't want money or life, and the scene was very tragic and heroic.
β¦β¦
The war outside the city no longer seems to be as terrible to the people as it used to be.
Previously, they heard that the demon Cao Cao killed his father, and he also blamed the benevolent and loyal elder Tao Zhoumu, and the cities they passed through were slaughtered regardless of men, women, and children.
But this demon is too powerful, especially the Qingzhou soldiers, who are ten times more harmful than the yellow scarf! The soldiers and horses of Xuzhou, including the elite soldiers of Danyang, were defeated repeatedly, and the entire city of Xuzhou trembled under the iron hooves of the evil Cao army. The old and young women and children were miserable and desperate, and the men in the family who stood up to the sky and the earth also lost the courage to pick up swords and guns, and endless dead air hovered over the city.
Fortunately, Lord Liu Bei came.
Just as he arrived with his people, news came from the front that his nephew, Zhang Yu, the current Marquis of Wuji, had successfully frightened the wicked man with a song "White Horse Chapter", so that his army would not dare to slaughter the people wantonly. And Lord Liu Bei gave Cao Cao a blow to the head with his elite soldiers, so that the soldiers and civilians of Xuzhou could see the direction of progress in the dark.
After all, Promise Times doesn't lie.
Even if the villagers and neighbors may not be able to pick out a few literate people, but fortunately, the price of "Wuji Times" is close to the people, so it is always good to buy it regardless of whether they can understand it or not.
With the spread of time, not only Xuzhou City, but also almost all the states and counties where Wuji newspapers are located, people are no longer talking about the shortcomings and trivialities of parents in the past, but there are many more peasant women and farmers who talk in the fields. This time out, every family is discussing the general trend of the world, if you don't buy a few issues, you are embarrassed to go out to meet people.
Gradually, not too many people realized how powerful the "Infinite Times" had been, or would be, power.
In the new issue of "Wuji Times", the smoke of gunpowder in Hebei is gradually extinguished, except for the Wuji Pavilion critic Guo Jia, who believes that there must be a war between the two heroes, there is nothing else worthy of attention. And south of the Yellow River, in the Central Plains, countless people have focused their attention on the Battle of Xuzhou.
First, Cao Cao waved his army to avenge his father and slaughtered dozens of cities in Xuzhou, and then it was rumored in the rivers and lakes that he stopped killing because of Yulang's article, saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of ordinary people. Then, Liu Bei Xingbing troops came to the aid of Xuzhou, and the first two battles were under the advice of the mastermind Tian Feng, and Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun each led the army to implement a plan, breaking the vanguard led by Li Dian and Le Jin, and frustrating the spirit of Cao's army, and the two sides temporarily fell into a stalemate.
It is precisely because these two battles were fought extremely brilliantly that not only did the Cao army, which did not encounter many obstacles, temporarily rest the drums, but also restored the spirit and courage of the soldiers and civilians of Xuzhou, who were almost desperate.
β¦β¦
In the city of Xuzhou, on the west street of the city.
"Lord, why aren't you panicking at all?"
"What's the panic?" Liu Bei looked at Tian Feng with a smile, "Zilong and Yide Banner are victorious, I'm afraid Cao Cao should also wake up and withdraw his troops." β
"The lord is ridiculous!" Tian Feng glared, stroked his beard and said: "The Cao army fought with the Xuzhou soldiers before, and the momentum was unstoppable, and the so-called arrogant soldiers were defeated. However, Cao Cao was dominant in Yanzhou, and hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans were surrendered, and his power was far from being comparable to Tao Qian, Kong Rong and others. It is still feasible to attack it with surprise troops and win with the courage of Zilong and General Yide, but if the enemy is underestimated because of this, there is a danger of overturning! β
Seeing Tian Feng's expression, Liu Bei also put away his smile, and nodded solemnly towards Tian Feng, "What Yuan Hao said has the effect of being empowered, and he was a little proud before, if he faced Cao Mengde with this mentality, he would be defeated." β
"It is really fortunate that the lord can humbly accept Tian's suggestion." Saying this, there was no glory on Tian Feng's thousand-year-old arrogant face, "Then the subordinates will make a decision now, if they can break the Cao army for a while, and unite with Huainan Yuan Shu to attack it, then the Cao army can retreat!" β
"Mr. Law." Liu Bei saluted this upright thinker, watched him swagger and leave his lord, and walked towards the mansion arranged by Tao Qian.
Smiling and shaking his head, Liu Bei and the guards continued to wander the streets.
This is not the lifeless Xuzhou City a few days ago, there are many more pedestrians on the street than in the small counties of the plains. Not only have street vendors popped up one by one, but more and more shops have reopened, and business is not bad.
As he walked, he suddenly heard a quarrel in front of him, and Liu Bei looked at it, it was a girl with a playful appearance and a beautiful face.
"This girl buys your jewelry because she can afford you, where can't I go to so many jewelry stores in Xuzhou City?"
"Go there, girl! Just look at your outfit to know that your family background is extraordinary, why do you have to make things difficult for a lowly commoner like a villain......"
"I ...... Didn't you just like this piece of jewelry and want to pay more money to buy it so that you can suffer less? β
"But this thing is a villain's heirloom, don't buy it...... What's more, the villain is not a jewelry stand, but a plaster stand! β
Liu Bei watched from a distance outside the crowd, listening to the conversation between the two and couldn't help but want to laugh, and when he was about to turn around and leave, he heard the sound of horses' hooves.
"I think who's making things difficult for my Mi sister?!"
