Guandu, the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to Cao Cao, and Tao Ying has done all the bad things behind him. After spreading rumors everywhere, those big families who had savings in Xuzhou fled to Xuzhou with their families. In order to keep these local tyrants in Yanzhou in Xuzhou, Tao Ying stipulated that all the family property of 10,000 tons of silver would be given free of charge to apply for Pengcheng household registration, and a house would be given in Pengcheng.

Pengcheng has every inch of land, and there are some particularly talented people in Pengcheng, and some rich people are needed!

For the others, Tao Ying arranged cities for them according to their ranks. After arriving in Pengcheng, Tao Ying asked the central bank to stipulate that anyone who was willing to settle in Pengcheng could receive a silver note issued by the central bank without paying a huge deposit fee, and then use it in Xuzhou. At this time, before the end of the year, the rich landlords in Yanzhou sold their fields and land cheaply, and nearly 20,000 people moved to Xuzhou to hide in the south.

When they sell their fields and houses at a low price, the Xuzhou Real Estate General Chamber of Commerce, a new company under the Xuzhou General Commercial Bank, will buy back their fields and houses at a low price and then take them for themselves. When the war is over, if they want to return to Yanzhou, they will take the opportunity to sell it to them. In such a war, Tao Ying was able to loot nearly half of his property from Yanzhou.

Even if Cao Cao won the war, he was stripped of half of his skin by Tao Ying, and if he wanted to recover for more than ten years, it would be a no-brainer. Cao Cao is weak, and Xuzhou is naturally strong! When the time comes, if you ask him to ask for the emperor, maybe he can also coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes!

When the Xuzhou Real Estate Chamber of Commerce extended its tentacles to Xudu, Xun Yu discovered Tao Ying's conspiracy, so he forbade the rich clans to leave Xudu, let alone allow them to defect to Xuzhou. At the time of the crisis, Xun Yu closed down the Xuzhou General Commercial Bank set up by Tao Ying in Xudu and expelled the people of the commercial bank from Xudu.

After the people from the trading house left Xudu, they came to Bianjing to report to Tao Ying, Tao Ying was furious when he heard this, he had signed a trade agreement with Cao Cao, and this Xun Yu actually dared to expel himself! And at this time!

So Tao Ying wrote a letter to Cao Cao and asked Cao Cao of Guandu to decide. Cao Cao actually violated the signed agreement again and again, so Tao Ying was ready to send troops to attack Xu Du when he was in a stalemate with Yuan Shao, and asked Xu to have an explanation!

After Cao Cao got the letter, he heard that Tao Ying wanted to raise a five-way army to attack Xudu, where was Cao Cao, who was frightened, still in the mood to be stationed in Guandu? His old nest was taken care of by Tao Ying, what could he do if he blocked Yuan Shao?

But if you retire, how easy is it? Seeing that Cao Cao had a headache, Guo Jia offered a suggestion, first dragging Tao Ying, and then ordering Xun Yu to cancel the sanctions on the Xuzhou General Commercial Bank, and then recruit those big clansmen who had fled after defeating Yuan Shao. They left because they heard that they had failed again and again in the north, and if they defeated Yuan Shao, they would naturally come back!

After Cao Cao heard this, he ordered the envoy to come to inform Tao Ying, and sent an order to Xu Du to ask Xun Yu to lift the restrictions on the general trading firm. After everything was done, Tao Ying withdrew the soldiers and horses. The Battle of Guandu lasted until November, when Cao Cao finally waited for his opportunity, and Xu You, a staff member of Yuan Shao in the north, came to Cao Cao from Yuan Shao's camp because of the persecution of his political enemies.

After Xu You arrived, he offered advice to attack Wuchao, where Yuan Shao's military rations were located! At this time, Yuan Shao hoarded nearly thousands of trucks of grain and grass in Wuchao, and sent the general Chun Yuqiong to guard, if he wanted to win Yuan Shao, he could only take the opportunity to do so!

In this way, Cao Cao ordered Xun You and Cao Hong to guard the camp and then personally led 5,000 soldiers to attack Wuchao. Tao Ying scattered the spies everywhere, and heard that Xu You had surrendered to Cao Cao, so Tao Ying knew that Yuan Shao in the north would not be long in coming! Therefore, before the start of the most important node battle in Guandu, Tao Ying wanted to quickly write to Gao Ran and Zhang He. Let him not vote for Cao Cao when he surrenders, but come and vote for himself.

Gao Ran and Zhang He were inexplicable after receiving the letter, who said that they were going to surrender to Cao Cao? This let Yuan Shao know, isn't it a capital crime? But then again, Yuan Shao is really a little suspicious of the two! The two discussed for a long time, but decided to ignore Tao Ying for the time being, this kid is a speculator!

At night, Cao Cao personally led 5,000 soldiers and horses to Wuchao, and on the way, he wore Yuan Jun's clothes to avoid many checkpoints, and killed until Wuchao. When he arrived at the black nest, Cao Cao set fire everywhere, and Chun Yuqiong entered the barrier to defend it. The two sides lasted until dawn, and after dawn, Chun Yuqiong saw that Cao Cao had few soldiers and went out of the camp to meet Cao Cao, but he did not want to be defeated by Cao Cao with 5,000 men and horses.

When the two were fighting, Cao Cao's generals killed Chun Yuqiong.

The fire burned in Wuchao, and the fire of thousands of carts of grain and grass made Yuan Shao, who was forty miles away, see it clearly. Seeing that Wuchao was on fire, the strategists hurriedly persuaded Yuan Shao to hurry up and save Wuchao, but some people persuaded that while Cao Cao was not in Guandu, it was the last word that Guandu should be quickly attacked. Between hesitations, Yuan Shao delayed the fighter again.

Sometimes it is not a good thing to have too many strategists, because everyone's views are different, and what they say is very reasonable, plus Yuan Shao is resourceful and indecisive, so when he hesitates, many good opportunities are lost in vain.

After dawn, Yuan Shao finally decided to let people go to the aid of Wuchao, and on the other hand, he asked Gao Ran and Zhang He to attack Guandu together. The two attacked Guandu, and killed until Guandu but could not see anyone, and suddenly there was chaos in the rear, and it turned out that Guo Jia's plan was hit again, and several armies were killed from behind, so that the army and horses were in chaos.

At this time, they heard that Chun Yuqiong had been beheaded by Cao Cao, and the two of them were even more flustered and at a loss. Chun Yuqiong was beheaded! And he was trapped in Cao Jun, and today, with Xu You's reversal, Yuan Shao has begun to suspect more and more people, and he is also in Yuan Shao's suspicion, maybe there will be no good end when he goes back!

So when they heard that there was no more food and grass, the two decided to surrender. Gao Ran wanted to surrender to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was at the time of employing people, so he must definitely reuse himself.

But Zhang He objected, because Tao Ying had written in his heart that he had already seen through the heavens, Cao Cao would attack the black nest and Chun Yuqiong would die. Originally, the two didn't believe it, but didn't what Tao Ying said in front of them have been realized?

Moreover, Tao Ying also wrote that if they returned to Hebei, they would be killed by Yuan Shao, and if they surrendered, Cao Cao would also be killed by Cao Cao to shock Hebei! As long as the two of them are killed, the soldiers and horses of Jizhou have no intention of facing the battle, and then Cao Cao can break Yuan Shao in one fell swoop!

After thinking about it, Zhang He and Gao Ran decided to lead their troops to Fengqiu Taoying. It is said that when Cao Cao led his army back from Wuchao, he had not yet arrived at Guandu, and suddenly encountered a cavalry of nearly 2,000 people. The cavalry was led by Tao Ying, who was followed by Wenhou Lu Bu, and Lu Bu was surrounded by Zhao Yun and Cao Chun. The two armies met, which frightened Cao Cao!
