When Zhuge Liang pacified the battle of annexing the state, the entire Yanzhou was boiling. Cao Cao wanted to take advantage of the unstable morale of the people to send troops to attack the state, and wanted to seize the state under the guise of avenging the senior cadres. But Guo Jia said that now that Xuzhou has cut off the supply of grain and grass in Yanzhou, and cut off all commodity exchanges, Tao Ying is trying to consume himself and attack himself when he is worried about internal and external troubles! Therefore, Guo Jia thought that he should not attack the north and merge the state, but should first pull out the nail embedded in Yanzhou - Bianjing! Instead of being beaten passively, it is better to take the initiative to attack, first quickly defeat Bianjing, seize Bianjing's grain and grass, and then attack Liang Guo before Tao Ying can react! Liang is a large plain, Liang is enough to feed 50,000 soldiers and horses of Cao's army for two years, and Liang only Liu Xun is stationed, and it only takes two months to take it. When the time comes, use the artillery and grain and grass captured in the Liang State to attack Pei Guo again, and after capturing Pei State, it will approach Pengcheng, Xuzhou Mansion along the waterway and land!

Guo Jia's suggestion made Cao Cao hesitate, because Xun Yu thought that he would definitely not be able to attack Pengcheng at this time! Because Xuzhou has been greatly improved under Tao Ying's governance, especially in recent years, Tao Ying has widened the two rivers from Pengcheng Mansion to Liang State, so that once Liang State cannot be captured immediately, Xuzhou's army can rush to Liang State within one day!

Moreover, in the past few years, the Xuzhou army has been fighting everywhere, and it is no longer the weak Xuzhou of the year. The military horses stationed in Pengcheng are also the Hell Demon Army and the Tianwei Army that make Yanzhou frightened, not to mention these two soldiers and horses, just the Golden Wing Army that has never fought but everyone in Xuzhou knows it, it is enough for Yanzhou to have a headache.

Therefore, Xun Yu's suggestion is that instead of tearing his face with Tao Ying, it is better to learn from Tao Ying Taoguang and keep obscure. Wait for the people to have enough food, and then build weapons and develop the military industry, so that they can slowly become stronger, and then they can fight with Xuzhou!

The words of the three people have their own truths, Cao Cao has always been decisive, but now he is a little hesitant. Cao Cao asked Cheng Yu again, Cheng Yu thought for a long time and just said: "Lord, Yanzhou's foundation is weak, if you compare the speed of development, Xuzhou can be compared to Yanzhou for five years in one year." ”

After Cheng Yu finished speaking, Cao Cao already knew what he meant by his words. That's right, Xuzhou's development speed in the past ten years has indeed been on the fast lane, and it has surpassed the world for nearly a hundred years, but the only deficiency is that it is far inferior to Cao Cao in terms of military strength. In the past ten years, Cao Cao has fought everywhere and has long trained an invincible military horse. Although Tao Ying's territorial expansion was very fast, he was beaten by Cao Cao and had no way out. Although Tao Ying quickly used the advantages of money and taxes to stabilize people's hearts, his military horses rarely had a long-term army.

Therefore, after Cheng Yu's words, Cao Cao decided to make a dangerous move and attack Xuzhou first!

To attack Xuzhou, a careful plan was required. Cao Cao wanted to follow Guo Jia's routine, first attack the three cities of Bianjing, get the grain and grass of Bianjing, and then quickly attack Liang before Tao Ying knew about it. However, Cheng Yu and other strategists said that after defeating Bianjing, it was better to go south and attack Shanyang County directly. Shanyang County is a large county in the north of Taoying, and the treasures of Juye City are as many as half of Yanzhou, and capturing Juye will undoubtedly capture a treasure house!

Moreover, Juye has a giant warship, and then use the captured warship to go down Pengcheng along the route from Changyi to Pengcheng, if the speed is fast enough, it will definitely be able to capture Pengcheng when the reinforcements from other counties have not yet arrived! Pengcheng must be, and the other counties will naturally surrender without a fight, which can be said to capture the thief and capture the king first!

In the cold winter of 206, heavy snow covered Bianjing City. The Taishou of Bianjing inspected Bianjing along the tall walls of Bianjing, he had only been in Bianjing for two months, and he was extremely young, only twenty-seven years old this year.

He was a staunch supporter of private ownership, so when the former Juye Taishou was transferred to Bianjing, he promoted him to Juye. When Bianjing Taishou was transferred to Jiangnan Mansion as the prefect by Tao Ying because of his outstanding political achievements, he was transferred to Bianjing to serve in his footsteps.

Bianjing City is very prosperous, when studying in Pengcheng Official School, Bianjing Taishou once thought that Pengcheng was the most prosperous place in the world, but he didn't expect that although the construction of this Bianjing land is not as good as Pengcheng, but it is not inferior to Pi.

There was a sound of horses' hooves outside the city, and he looked out of the city, and there was another young general, who had already come to him more than once.

It's still on the city wall, and the Taishou doesn't bother to go to the council hall again. The young general turned over and knelt down to salute Taishou, who said impatiently: "Why are you here again?" Didn't I tell you, how could Cao Cao attack the city in this heavy snow? My Xuzhou is so strong, how dare Cao Cao, a little Cao Cao, provoke me Xuzhou? ”

The young general knelt on the ground and returned: "I listened to the general's words, Cao Cao has begun to transfer troops to Chenliu, although it is a cold winter, but Cao Cao is cunning, and he has to guard against it!" ”

Taishou said with some indifference: "Deng County Order, you just need to keep it and save Cao, don't say anything else!" ”

Deng County Commander wanted to say more, but Taishou had already gone down to the city. When Deng Xian Ling came down from the city, he was disappointed when he saw groups of soldiers nesting around the fire to keep warm.

This Deng County Commander was originally from Nanyang and was Zhang Xiu's general. Zhang Xiu followed Tao Ying's order to set up the Nanyang Official School in Nanyang, and he was the first batch of graduates to graduate! According to reason, he should have stayed in Nanyang as an official, but his stuttering was so bad that Zhang Xiushen felt that he couldn't hold his face, so he sent him to Bianjing as an official.

It is difficult for a student who graduated from the local official academy to hold the position of Taishou, but the previous Taishou felt that this young man named Deng Ai was very talented in internal politics, so he promoted him to be the county magistrate to save Caocheng.

Although Rescue Cao is a county seat, he thinks that he is one of the two subordinate cities of Bianjing, and it is also an important commercial town and the gateway to Bianjing, so there are many soldiers and horses there, and the prosperity is no less than the capital of a county. After Deng Ai took office, he not only managed to save Caocheng in an orderly manner, but also trained the nearly 10,000 soldiers who saved Caocheng! This made the previous Taishou very satisfied, and he wanted to take Deng Ai to Jiangnan Mansion with him to take office, but he had just gone to Jiangnan Mansion and was not familiar with everything, so Deng Ai continued to stay in Bianjing, handed over all the defense work of Bianjing to him, and transferred him to Jiangnan Mansion after he stabilized in Jiangnan.

Disappointed after returning from Bianjing, Deng Ai rode on his horse and returned to save Cao Cheng. The wind and snow on the road were even heavier, and the general saw that Deng Ai was depressed, so he hurriedly came up with an idea: "My lord, since you are too stubborn to ignore it, why don't you report this situation to the Intelligence Academy?" The Intelligence Academy will definitely give these to the general, and when the time comes, the general will definitely be able to prevent Cao Cao if he is prepared! ”
