As the days approached day by day, soon the cold winter in the north came, and as soon as Tao Ying's army arrived in Wuyuan, the first snowflakes in winter fell flutteringly.

Because of the arrival of the snowy day, the supply of grain and grass began to be a little tight, and Tao Ying's march was even slower. Marching on squeaky snowflakes, the biting north forced soldiers to trot all the way to fend off the cold.

After nearly a week, Tao Ying arrived in Wuyuan, and news came from the front that Wuyuan Taishou had abandoned the city and fled. Wuyuan City has long become an empty city, which is nothing new, because when Yu Ban led his troops to attack Pengcheng, Cao Chun led his troops to capture Wuyuan and looted Wuyuan before leaving.

So when the army arrived at Wuyuan, from a distance, there was only a dilapidated city wall left in Wuyuan, and the skeletons that had been eaten by wild dogs were everywhere outside the city, and the bone frames were stuck in the snow, and when they stepped on it, the bones were broken. Looking chilling, Tao Ying couldn't bear to enter Wuyuan City again, so he had to let people camp outside the city.

After two days of stationing in Wuyuan, Zang Ba also led the army to Wuyuan. The two joined forces together and joined forces with Wuyuan City.

The snow in Wuyuan is getting heavier and heavier, and after a day and a night of heavy snowfall, the ridge and the city wall are covered with snowflakes everywhere, and the snow-white world is like a fairy tale.

After the meeting, in order to avoid the cold north wind, Tao Ying asked the soldiers to clean up Wuyuan City, which became much cleaner after a day of cleaning, because the land was frozen in winter, and it was not easy to dig, so Zang Ba ordered all the skeletons to be burned.

After packing up the skeletons, the soldiers demolished the east wall and repaired the west wall in the heavy snow, began to repair the rooms that leaked snow, and built a worship platform in Wuyuan City, which was more difficult to build in the snow, but the soldiers complained that there was no way. After two days of hard work, the worship platform was finally repaired in the city.

On this day, the snowflakes were a little smaller, and the weather was very cold, and it seemed that all breaths would be frozen. At ten o'clock in the afternoon, nearly 8,000 troops gathered in Wuyuan City. The soldiers lined up in various phalanxes to wait under the worship platform, and Tao Ying was surrounded by everyone holding a box with a tiger talisman that could mobilize soldiers and horses.

The snow seems to have lightened because of this solemn atmosphere, and at ten o'clock in the afternoon, the worship will begin. Tao Ying stood on the podium and first stated Cao Cao's various crimes, slaughtering the people, robbing the people's daughters, and killing innocents indiscriminately. Later, he handed over the tiger talisman to Zang Ba, worshiped Zang Ba as the marshal of the expedition to the north, and personally served as the supervisor of the army.

After Zang Ba was worshipped as a handsome, the soldiers began to cheer, because most of the soldiers in the audience were Zang Ba's people. The two of them also sacrificed flags in Wuyuan City and prayed to heaven and earth.

At the end of the day, Zang Ba got the handsome seal and began to arrange troops to prepare to go north to Tan County. As the saying goes, the three armies go first before moving the grain and grass, and the grain and grass are related to the victory or defeat of the marching army, so Zang Ba worshiped his confidant Wu Dun as the grain transport officer and the governor of grain and grass. Wu Dun led the order to supervise the grain and grass, Zang Ba knew Xu Sheng's bravery, but he was afraid that he would be too young to be used, so he worshipped Sun Guan as a pioneer.

Yin Li, Zang Ba's subordinate, led the left army, another veteran general from Xuzhou brought by Tao Ying led the right army, and Zang Ba led the Chinese army. After everything was arranged, Xiaoguan County ordered Xu Sheng to ask for orders to fight, and Tao Ying also wanted him to make more contributions, so Zang Ba had no choice but to appoint Xu Sheng as the left and right support envoys.

After all the appointments were over, Zang Ba discussed the battle plan with Tao Ying.

At present, Cao Cao has deployed nearly 30,000 troops in Tanxian County, and Cao Cao's main army is sweeping in the East China Sea, and the south to Pengchengguo is some of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army. Because Xuzhou was afraid of Cao Cao, it was heard that Cao's army and Xuzhou's soldiers were scattered, which led to Cao Cao's Qingzhou soldiers' cruelty to Pengcheng.

But fortunately, those Yellow Turban Army just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to occupy Pengcheng to stand on their own, so they did not transfer too much money and the like.

In the middle of winter, in Wuyuan City covered by heavy snow, Tao Ying sat in the repaired Taishou Mansion and roasted the fire. There were many generals sitting by the stove, and Marshal Zang Ba of the Northern Union was also sitting by the fire and roasting the fire.

Tao Ying didn't know what the battle ahead was and didn't dare to rush to send troops, Zang Ba had ordered the pioneer Sun Guan to go north from Wuyuan to Xiangben, and now they didn't dare to lead the troops to Tan County, so they could only go to Xiangben first, and then turn to Tan County after Xiangben inquired about the situation.

The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and Tao Ying looked out the window with the north wind howling and asked, "Marshal Zang, has the grain and grass been transported to Wuyuan?" Zang Ba nodded, the grain and grass were enough to last until March of the following year.

Tao Ying was afraid that the soldiers would freeze in this cold winter, so he asked the soldiers how to keep warm? Zang Ba's soldiers all took wood from outside the city to warm the fire, and cotton clothes for the winter had also arrived.

After having no worries, Tao Ying said to the soldiers: "Presumably, General Cao will definitely not be able to fight Cao Cao's dog thieves in Tan County, this winter is so cold, it is really not suitable for the use of soldiers, it is better for us to wait and camp in this Wuyuan." Presumably, after Cao Cao broke Tan County, he will definitely not use troops again, and he will not use troops again until the beginning of spring next year, after the weather becomes warmer, I expect that he will withdraw from the army! ”

Zang Ba didn't believe it, Cao Cao swore to take Xuzhou this time, how could he leave easily? Tao Ying didn't want to divulge too much, but just looked at Zang Ba and said: "Everyone knows that Lu Bu is also hungry wolf, if the hungry wolf flows to Yanzhou, what does Marshal Zang think will happen?" ”

Zang Ba was a little puzzled, Lu Bu would be his successor, how could Tao Ying say it? Just relieved him that the real war in Xuzhou has just begun, Lu Buzhi, Liu Bei has Xuzhou, the heroes are eyeing each other, Xuzhou is the beginning of a peaceful day from today!

Zang Ba asked how to survive the crisis, Tao Ying didn't know, the burning flame burned the wood squeaked, and no dry branches burst open, making a crisp sound.

"If I can change history, Xuzhou will no longer be bullied, what if I can't stop the rolling wheel of history?" Tao Ying looked back and seemed to be able to live in Pengcheng for the rest of his life!

After being stationed in Wuyuan for nearly half a month, the heavy snow cleared for nearly a week, and the soldiers began to take out their weapons and cotton clothes to dry. The time also quickly advanced to January 194, the beginning of the new year.

After spending New Year's Day silently in his heart, the striker Sun Guan came with news from Tan County, he had just arrived in the eastern suburbs of Tan County, just as Cao Jun was attacking Cao Bao and Liu Bei's military horses. The Cao-Liu coalition army was blocked everywhere, and Sun Guan wanted to help them, but Tanxian was quickly breached, and the rout covered Liu Bei and Cao Bao and began to retreat.

Cao Chun raised troops to chase all the way, Sun Guan hurriedly led troops to block the way, and saw that Sun Guan was playing the Tao character banner, Cao Chun stopped the pursuit. Now everyone in Cao Jun knows that Tao Ying was killed in Pengcheng, but the resentment of Pengcheng's dead and injured people has revived Tao Ying, and Tao Ying's spirit shines on the entire Pengcheng, so that when he sees Tao Ying's banner, Cao Jun is a little afraid from the heart.
