Pengcheng grew little by little, and the time soon came to the autumn of 198. Autumn is the most important festival in Xuzhou, because on this day the state of Mu Tao should marry a wife. Since 194, four full years have passed, and he wants to win Xiao Peigan as his wife.

And this wedding was prepared by Kong Rong and others for a whole year. Autumn soon came, but news suddenly came from the north that Cao Cao and Liu Bei's allied forces had come from Taishan County to attack Lü Bu, who was stationed in Lu.

The marriage event is auspicious, but at this time, Cao Cao actually played a big knife by his side, which made Tao Ying angry.

Tao Ying sent an envoy to mediate with Lü Bu and Cao Cao, and asked them to start a fight over their heads after their wedding feast. After the envoy went, Cao Cao said that he had not broken the agreement and had no reason to obey Tao Ying.

At this time, if it weren't for the lack of strength, Cao Cao would have beaten Tao Ying a long time ago. What's more, Cao Cao's strength is now much stronger than before, because at the end of the previous year, Duan Xuan killed Li Dao, and then gave Li Dao's head to Cao Cao first.

Cao Cao put him in charge of the land of the Three Qins, so Cao Cao got the rich Guanzhong area in this way. After his strength was greatly enhanced, Cao Cao mobilized the cavalry in Guanzhong to the south to help him attack Lü Bu.

A few months ago, the news that Lü Bu attacked Liu Bei and was defeated by Tao Ying made Cao Cao, who had long been worried about the land of Xuzhou and had no excuses, no longer stop raising troops to attack Lü Bu, and the excuse was to recover the territory belonging to the potters for the potters.

Historically, at this time, Cao Cao also had a battle with Lu Bu, but the battlefields were here in Xiapi and Pengcheng. As a result, Lü Bu was besieged in Xiapi, Lü Bu was beheaded, Gao Shun was beheaded, Hao Meng and Cao Xing and others surrendered, and Cao Cao got Zhang Liao, a good general of his five sons.

Could it be that history can't be changed after all, Cao Cao came to take Lu Bu's life? Tao Ying summoned Jia Xu and Liu Ye from the general department and asked what should they do?

Jia Xu said that although Lu Bu was hateful, he was a hungry wolf after all, and everyone was afraid of it. Staying, Cao Cao didn't dare to attack Xuzhou. If Lu Bu dies, as the saying goes, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, when Cao Cao is strong, he will inevitably take Shanyang County, if Shanyang dies, Pengcheng is in danger!

But Zhang Zhao said that the wedding was approaching at this time, and he should not use the sword, otherwise it would be a bad omen!

The two factions kept arguing, Liu Ye said that it was better to take advantage of this big wedding opportunity, anyway, the generals of the counties received congratulations, it was better to let them lead the most elite soldiers five hundred to come to congratulate them, and then take advantage of the situation to lead the troops to the north, in one fell swoop to level the Lu country and Langya, and then Xuzhou will be unified!

It is indeed a good idea to send troops while they are both defeated. Looking at the world, now that Yuan Shu's elite soldiers are beating Sun Ce in Danyang, Sun Ce can't make any moves, just in time to go north to clean up the mess in the north.

Tao Ying only believes in strength, never in the cover of the murderer. If he is always like Yuan Shao, how can he be strong in Xuzhou for a long time?

So Tao Ying ordered to summon the elite soldiers of the nine counties of Xuzhou to come to Pengcheng to pay tribute. I heard that Tao should have a big military parade, and I heard that there was also a martial arts competition, and the county that won it would receive a one-year tax exemption reward, and each county sent elite soldiers to participate.

The closest is the Xiapi Kingdom, and the Xiapi Kingdom has few generals, and only Mi Fangyi can be famous. Therefore, the minister of Xia Pi sent Mi Fang to lead a thousand troops to Pengcheng to help, Guangling County Bu Qi led troops to garrison Guangling, and Guangling Army President Ma led Gan Ning to personally lead a thousand water troops to garrison the battle.

I heard that Guangling Ganning was out of the horse, and Suzhou County sent Jiang Qin, a powerful general. Jiang Qin went to Pengchengguo with cannons made in Suzhou. At this time, because Yuzhang had just been decided, Xu Sheng's soldiers and horses were stationed in Jiujiang and couldn't leave for a while. The Sky Eagle Army was stationed in Nanchang to suppress bandits, so Yuzhang Sun Shao could only send Zhao Yun to participate in Tao Ying's congratulatory gift.

Zhao Yun led more than a thousand Tianwei troops north to Pengcheng.

When the state pastoral order went to Nanyang, Shiting Taishou Taishi Ci led the Shiting army back to Pengcheng. Nanyang Taishou Zhang Xiu ordered Hu Che'er to lead a thousand troops.

Liu Xun of Liang also personally led the troops to come, and guarded the hill in Chenglian Town, and he also led 1,000 troops to come. Because Donghai County is a military cantonment area, when Donghai Taishou wanted to come, Tao Ying ordered him to guard the Donghai Navy's food cantonment.

Zang Ba wanted to lead the generals to come, and Jia Xu offered a plan to let Zang Ba stay still in Shanyang. When Cao Cao withdrew his troops, Zang Ba led his troops north to cut off Cao Cao's back road, maybe a battle could level Lu Bu and Cao Cao!

Tao Ying adopted their strategy, so he ordered Zang Bazhen to guard Shanyang, waiting for orders to prepare to cut off Cao Cao's back road.

When the soldiers and horses from all walks of life were assembled in Xuzhou, they liquidated the men and horses, and this time the county soldiers brought by each county totaled more than 6,000 soldiers and horses. Coupled with the soldiers and horses stationed in Xiaopei, Donghai, and Pengcheng, there were nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses that could be used for a time.

These soldiers and horses are not counted as the Golden Wing Army of the Pengcheng Acropolis, and the Golden Wing Army is not allowed to be transferred out of Pengcheng without special tasks, they are only responsible for the safety of Pengcheng.

When all the soldiers and horses arrived, it was November 198. At this time in history, Cao Cao had already surrounded Xiapi, and Xiapi was almost exhausted. December is Lu Bu's death date, and there is still half a month from here to Langya Kaiyang, where Lu Bu is stationed!

So Tao Ying held a grand wedding with Miss Gan in October, and then personally led the troops to conquer Lu Bu in November!

Lu Bu sat in the Chinese army and was personally the commander. Jia Xu and Liu Ye were military advisors, Lu Qian was the counselor, and the Taishou of the East China Sea was the grain transport officer and the governor of grain and grass supply. Gan Ning was the governor of the navy, and Jiang Qin was the deputy governor of the navy, and the two took 2,000 of the navy led by themselves, and 6,000 of the Pi navy, forming a navy of 8,000 people and set off along the Yishui road to the north.

Tao Ying knew that there were fewer water battles this time, so he put Jiang Qin in charge of transporting grain by water. On the land, the three armies did not move, the grain and grass went first, the grain and grass were very important, and Cao Cao loved to burn people's grain and grass the most, so Tao Ying made Li Dian, who had always been cautious, the grain transport officer and the governor of the land grain transport.

The grain and grass used in this war were supplied by the Eastern Naval Tun Group.

After the grain transport officer was determined, Tao Ying stayed in Zhuge Jin to garrison Pengcheng under the advice of the military Jia Xu, responsible for guarding the safety of Pengcheng. The position of pioneer officer was held by Cao Chun and Zhao Yun, with Zhao Yun as the left pioneer and Cao Chun as the right vanguard.

Tai Shi Ci led the Shiting army to be responsible for the left and right response, Yu Ban led the army for the front, Liu Xun led the army for the left, Mi Fang led the army for the right, Hu Che'er led the army for the rear, and Tao Ying raised 40,000 elite soldiers to go to conquer Lu Bu.

November in the north is the golden autumn season, and the weather is not very cold, and it is not hot. The autumn harvest has been completed, and the crops have just been planted in the fields. However, the crops of Langya were destroyed, because Cao Cao in the north led nearly 30,000 troops to conquer Lü Bu and trampled on the north of Langya State.

Tao Ying recruited Lü Bu from the south road, although the army had no intention of trampling on the crops, but because the road was too narrow, the place that was particularly close to the road was still trampled by the soldiers.

The people were very afraid of Tao Ying, and Tao Ying knew that he could not let the people be afraid of him, and he had to let them support him, so that he could rule the northern land in the future.

So Tao Ying ordered that the people should not be harassed wherever he passed, but those who infringed on the fertile land and did not intend to do it must be compensated according to the price. If you want to do it, you will not be forgiven!

The soldiers knew that Tao Ying was strict in law, so they did not dare to invade the countryside, and many soldiers accidentally trampled on a fertile field, and Tao Ying knew that he ordered the soldiers to withhold the money and pay compensation to the people.

As soon as money is involved, the soldiers are not far away from trampling on the fertile land! Since Tao Ying's autumn was innocent, the people were scared at first, and then they began to go around to welcome Tao Ying's army and horses. They knew that Tao Ying was always virtuous, unlike Lu Bu, who was rampant and tyrannical!
