Cao Cao rose up in anger and strode out.

Xun Yu and the others looked at each other and got up to follow.

Outside the door, a man who looked like a scholar wanted to break through the door, but was twisted by the guards and was screaming with all his might.

Seeing Cao Cao walk out, the man shouted hoarsely: "Meng De, no! For the livelihood of all the people, you must not send troops to Xuzhou! ”

"Shut up!" Cao Cao shouted rudely, stretched out his hand to point at the man, and said angrily: "Chen Gongtai, what face do you have to come to see me again?!" ”

This person is Cao Cao's former subordinate and friend, Chen Gong Chen Gongtai.

In the past, during Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Cao Cao plotted to assassinate Dong Zhuo and was discovered by Dong Zhuo. Cao Cao escaped from Chang'an and was rescued by Chen Gong, and the two became acquainted.

Later, Cao Cao raised troops and conscripted Chen Gong as an official. Because he had no place to stand, Cao Cao forcibly occupied the eastern county of Yanzhou and was condemned by the Yanzhou scholars. Cao Cao was furious and captured and killed several of the leaders.

Chen Gong likes to make friends with scholars, and most of the people who were killed by Cao Cao were Chen Gong's friends. Chen Gong complained about his cruelty, hung up his seal and resigned, and the two became enemies.

Hearing that Cao Cao wanted to raise troops to conquer Xuzhou, Chen Gong hurried to Puyang to dissuade him.

"Mengde, no, don't raise troops!"

"Chen Gongtai, you have turned your back on me, I have not been investigated, and today you dare to disturb my army's heart!"

"Meng De, Chen Gong hung his seal and left the seal before, it was for the common people in the world. And now risking death to admonish, too. Taigong suffered misfortune and cried blood. However, the difficulty of Taigong was not instructed by Tao Gongzu, but by thieves and thieves. Meng De doesn't know the truth, so he wants to raise an army and make trouble, absolutely not! ”

Cao Cao was annoyed by Chen Gong's betrayal and the misfortune of his family, so he endured his grief and indignation, and asked Chen Gongdao: "The truth? If more than 100 members of your Chen family were slaughtered, can you Chen Gongtai still sit firmly like Mount Tai, waiting to hear the truth made up by that despicable Tao Qian? ”

"Meng De, listen to Chen's words, don't move troops......"

Chen Gong still has to persuade. Cao Cao had long run out of patience and interrupted Chen Gong sharply. "Needless to say. Remembering the old feelings of you and me, I don't want to investigate the matter of your betrayal, come to someone. Drive it out of Puyang! ”

The guards set up the Chen Palace and dragged it out. Chen Gong shouted: "Cao Mengde, Cao Cao! You use the excuse of revenge for your father and family, but in fact, you forcibly seize Xuzhou, don't think that everyone in the world is like a three-year-old child! ”

"Poof!"

Cao Cao held his sword in his hand. His eyes breathed fire, wanting to kill Chen Gong.

"Ming Gong, no!" Cheng Yu hurriedly stopped Cao Cao, "Chen Gongtai has a lot of friends in the Central Plains, and cutting him will block the way for talents to vote, Ming Gong must not be impulsive......"

……

Cao Cao was told by Chen Gong that he was angry. Cheng Yu and others persuaded hard, and finally held back their anger, spared Chen Gong's life, and sent someone to blast Chen Gong out of Yanzhou.

Back in the house. Cao Cao's anger did not subside, his face was gloomy, and he said: "The difficulty of Xuzhou, Tao Qian's old man is to blame, not imposed by Cao someone. There is no need to discuss this matter again, but how to fight this battle well is up to the public to plan for me. ”

There is no change in the army in Xuzhou, and the people of Yanzhou can only work together.

Xun You said: "Our army has a long-distance expedition. Xuzhou has many soldiers and horses, and there is plenty of grain and grass. Quick wins are the best policy. ”

Guo Jia offered a plan: "The country of Xiapi is integrated, and there are many soldiers and enough food. However, he and Tao Qian are not of the same mind. He believed in the religion of mercy, but he did tyrannical things. All such people, because they are timid, cover up the emptiness of their hearts with violent acts. The Duke of Ming only needed to send an envoy to deliver a letter and intimidate. He will not dare to send troops to help Tao Qian. ”

Cao Cao nodded. "Just according to what Feng Xiao said!"

Xun Yu said: "General Wei Liu Jiangtian and Qingzhou Assassin Liu Xuande have both sent letters, should they reply?" ”

"These troubled fellows......" Cao Cao muttered, rubbing his beard. The imperial court is in Liu Jiangtian's territory, and if it doesn't reply, it's not good for me. However, that Liu Jiangtian understands the reason, besides, his annexation of the state was taken from Wang Rou, Wang Shuyou and Zhang Yang Zhang Zhishu, let's raise troops in Xuzhou, Liu Jiangtian will not say irresponsible words, I wrote a handwritten letter, saying that this time to raise the army, it is really unbearable. As for Liu Xuande, hum! ”

Cao Cao snorted coldly.

Xun You said: "Liu Xuande has coveted Xuzhou for a long time, and what his subordinates are most worried about is that he will take this opportunity to raise troops and make trouble. Ming Gong still sent a letter, saying that it was powerful to avoid his interference in the affairs of Xuzhou. ”

Cao Cao frowned. "Okay, wait for me to figure it out, how to talk to him. Wen Ruo took a look, before sending troops, there are other things that need to be arranged in advance. ”

Xun Yu said: "Everything has been basically decided, and what remains is nothing more than garrisoning, grain and grass supply, and personnel deployment and distribution. ”

Cao Cao nodded and arranged tasks for everyone: "This time, a certain general will personally command the army and send troops to Xuzhou. Gongda and Fengxiao went out with the army, and the area of Dongjun Chenliu, Wen Ruo sat in the town and co-ordinated, and there must be no mistakes. ”

This time, Yanzhou's elite soldiers were exhausted. The remaining soldiers and horses are difficult to undertake the garrison of Dongjun and Chen. But Cao Cao was already angry to the extreme, and although Xun Yu had thousands of difficulties, he couldn't say anything at this time, so he could only say that he would do his best.

Cao Cao ordered Cheng Yu to be stationed in Dingtao, Jiyin County, responsible for raising follow-up grain and grass supplies for the army.

After discussing everything, Cao Cao said to Xun Yu: "This expedition is not benevolent to Tao Qian's old man, and he needs to have a document and a Lao Wenruo." ”

Xun Yu hurriedly picked up the pen and paper.

Cao Cao said: "Saying that my father hates my family, saying that Tao Qian is hypocritical, and that those who help Tao Qian's old son are my Cao Cao's mortal enemies!" These are the three points alone, and the rest, let's consider it. ”

"No!"

"Oh, yes. Liu Xuande's side, there is no need to reply deliberately, just transcribe a copy of this text with him. Cao Cao said, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing ruthlessness. Let him know the consequences first, and see if he still dares to meddle without taking his own breath. ”

……

In Yanzhou, the army has been assembled.

The pawns are divided into three ways.

Cao Cao personally commanded the army of the middle road and marched into Donghai County, Xuzhou. If you want to take Chang first, and then take Xuzhou to govern Tan County.

The Eastern Route Army, led by Cao Ren, cooperated with the Central Route Army on the East Route to attack the East China Sea.

The Western Route Army, led by Xiahoudun and Lejin Li Dian as the deputy general, passed through Shanyang County, Yanzhou, and Peiguofeng County, Yuzhou, and directly took Pengcheng, an important town in Xuzhou.

In addition, the Zhu Ling Department of Jizhou was ordered to pass through Dong County and Taishan County to take Kaiyang, the capital of Xuzhou Lang Evil State.

In this way, attacking Tanxian, Pengcheng, and Kaiyang at the same time, as long as one of them can be quickly conquered, the foundation of Xuzhou can be shaken.

After the deployment was completed, everyone received their orders.

Guo Jia said again: "Ming Gong, that Zhu Ling, can not be reused in Jizhou, quite unwilling, if you have to be treated well, you should be attributed to Ming Gong." ”

Cheng Yu worried: "Jizhou and my Yanzhou are allies, will this move cause original unhappiness?" ”

"Hehe......" Cao Cao laughed out loud for the first time in a while. Originally, he was afraid that I would intercept his soldiers and horses, so he refused to send Yan Liangwen and Chou generals to help, and sent Zhu Ling, who was not welcomed. At the beginning, there was this precaution, that is, there was the intention of sending troops to me. If I had left Zhu Ling and his subordinates, I would have only been proud of my original caution, so how could I be blamed? ”

Guo Jia smiled secretly. "Ming Gong Gao Theory."

"Order Zhu Ling, lead your troops to rest and recuperate in Dong'e, and rush to the labor army immediately!" (To be continued.) )
