Cao Cao is also preparing a plan for Xuzhou, and the people from Xuzhou are even more determined to seize Xuzhou, such an important place as Xuzhou is completely wasted in the hands of Liu Bei, because Liu Bei does not have the strength to hold Xuzhou, and even Xuzhou is not completely in his hands.

"Lord, the Marquis of Jin broke Xianbei, and fled everywhere to pursue the Xianbei tribe on the grassland, once the stability of Youzhou and the state, the next step of the Marquis of Jin will definitely be Chang'an." Xun Yu Dao.

Cao Cao nodded slightly, "Fengxian is so brave that he let Xianbei flee in the wilderness, he is really a big general." ”

Xun Yu also listened to the envy in Cao Cao's tone, Lu Bu's identity as a military general may not be valued by the princes, but when this military general has achieved achievements that have attracted everyone's attention, will it still be as simple as a military general, and now Lu Bu is full-fledged, although the family is not friendly to Lu Bu, but Lu Bu has the hearts of the people, with the existence of Jinyang Academy, even if there is no family, there will be no shortage of talents to govern the place.

"Lord, why don't you send someone to Jinyang to test it." Xun Yu said, he is a person who has the Han family in his heart, as long as he can let the Han continue, he is willing to make more efforts, the performance of the saint in Jingzhou is really unsatisfactory, not that he is disloyal to the Han family, but that the Han family needs to have a strong figure to help, Cao Cao sits in Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and after occupying Xuzhou in the next step, the strength is at its peak, if Cao Cao comes forward to support the Han family, it may not be able to convince the princes of the world.

Yuan Shao is a famous family, after the fourth and third dukes, but Xun Yu is not optimistic about Yuan Shao, otherwise he would not go to Yanzhou from Jizhou to join Cao Cao.

"Let's talk about this matter after Feng returns to Jinyang first, the most important thing at present is to seize Xuzhou." Cao Cao showed confidence on his face, the Chen family's surrender was the key to his capture of Xuzhou, the Chen family was a prominent family in Xuzhou, and was trusted by Liu Bei, and the betrayal of such characters was the most deadly.

Cao Cao can also understand the choice of the Chen family, a strong Xuzhou is in line with the interests of the family, and the war will not stop, which will only make the strength of the family lose more and more, such as Xuzhou, which was originally a rich land, but in the successive wars, it gradually became a withering livelihood.

"Lord, if you want to seize Xuzhou, and now Huaxiong stationed in Xiapi cannot be underestimated, and there are thousands of elite soldiers under his command, and most of them are cavalry." Cheng Yu said.

Cao Cao laughed and said: "Huaxiong is not worried, when he was in Yuzhou, he was still embarrassed to flee for Benhou, and this time he will definitely capture Huaxiong." ”

After agreeing to send troops, Yanzhou, which had been silent for more than half a year, moved, and grain and grass from all over the country continued to be transported to the direction of Xuzhou, and various counties also sent troops and horses to Shanyang.

Yanzhou's big move made Liu Bei even more worried, the people who went to Jingzhou and Bingzhou for help did not get too good results, and Bingzhou was busy dealing with Xianbei, and Jingzhou had just lost on the battlefield in Jiangxia, even if Liu Biao wanted to support Xuzhou, it was just in solidarity, Liu Biao was very jealous of Cao Cao, at this time, if he sent troops to attack Yuzhou or Yanzhou, it was no different from looking for death.

The reason why Cao Cao did not deal with Jingzhou was because Jingzhou had the existence of the royal family, once the halo on his head lost its effect and found an excuse for Cao Cao, the fate of Jingzhou can be imagined, Liu Biao is not arrogant enough to be able to compete with Cao Cao.

Maybe in the previous time, Liu Biao thought that Cao Cao was nothing more than that, but after seeing Cao Cao's means of marching and fighting, Liu Biao was still more afraid, in that case, Cao Cao could still capture Yanzhou and drive the Jingzhou army back to Jingzhou from Yanzhou, which was a very incredible thing in itself, not only Liu Biao, but others also thought that Cao Cao was going to be finished.

Although the retreat of the Jingzhou army was related to Yuan Shu's interception of the retreat of the Jingzhou army, it was still the Yanzhou army's desperate struggle in exchange for sacrificing their lives.

Although the Qingzhou army followed Cao Cao for the longest time, it was the most ferocious army under Cao Cao, the Qingzhou army was composed of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, it was these yellow scarves that made Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, die, the Qingzhou army only obeyed Cao Cao's orders, and obeyed Cao Cao's orders, and this yellow turban was also the most elite yellow scarf in Qingzhou.

In September, Cao Cao ordered his general Xiahoudun to be the vanguard and sent troops to Xuzhou, still under the banner of avenging his father.

When Cao Jun had not yet entered Xuzhou, he spread rumors in Xuzhou, saying that Cao Jun came only to avenge his father, and there would be no infringement on ordinary people, but all officials who took refuge in Cao Jun would not be embarrassed.

When the Cao army attacked Xuzhou last year, it had already made the officials of Xuzhou feel the sincerity of the Cao army, and with the experience of the last time, they took refuge in the Cao army more handy, maybe some officials did not want to surrender like this, but the weakness of Xuzhou's strength made them unable to see the hope of victory, and the officials often represented the will of the family, and the family did not want to live and die with Liu Bei.

Xiahoudun led the army out of Yanzhou into Yuzhou, directly from Yuzhou Peiguo into Xuzhou, attacking Pengcheng, Pengcheng Xuzhou's state governance, in a certain sense represents Xuzhou, which is also Cao Cao's unification of Yuzhou, Xuzhou is facing an embarrassing situation, whether it is from Yanzhou or from Yuzhou, can directly enter Xuzhou, Liu Bei can not hoard all the cities to guard them, and Xuzhou does not have so many troops.

Xuzhou is really in the hands of Liu Bei Pengcheng, Xiapi and Guangling three counties, of which Guangling for Liu Bei from Yuan Shu's hands for a short time, can provide not many troops, and Xiapi at this time is Huaxiong stationed.

The number of troops gathered in Pengcheng reached 40,000, which was also Liu Bei's strongest strength, and it was better to stick to one place than to scatter his troops in various places.

This time, Cao Cao was very determined to attack Xuzhou, and the number of troops reached 80,000, and he carried a large number of bed crossbows and thunderbolts, and he had the intention of occupying Xuzhou in one fell swoop.

Faced with such a situation, Liu Bei could only gather the families in the city, Liu Bei said it for a long time, and even burst into tears when he said it, and the families in the field had no other actions except to guarantee that they would support Liu Bei to defend the city.

When the Cao army attacked Xuzhou twice, the family in the city also produced a lot of food and armor, this time the family's actions made Liu Bei a little puzzled, if the city was breached, the family would also be unlucky, but these families were not afraid of the brutal Cao army.

"Xianhe, why are the families in the city unwilling to give too much assistance?" Liu Bei set his eyes on Jian Yong, although the power that the family can provide is not strong, it represents the attitude of the family, Liu Bei does not value the assistance of the family, he does not want to have uncontrollable factors in the city when the Cao army attacks the city.
