Chapter Seventy-Four: The Eastern Expedition to Xuzhou

After Cao Pi informed Ren Jun that it would not be possible to take the seeds, he immediately began to discuss with Ren Jun about planting cultivated land in the coming year, for which Cao Pi put forward three requirements. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

First, Ren Jun should give the total number of acres of Juntun and Mintun in Yuzhou, and in addition, two people should be assigned to each mu of land, and at the same time, 100 people were needed to make land fertilizer, that is, manure and urea. The newly elected folk husbands must be trained by Chen Sanlang's fifteen folk husbands before they can go to the ground. Ren Jun agreed one by one, and let Ren Qian take care of it.

After discussing these details, Cao Pi immediately returned home, and on the way he asked, "Childe, what should you do with the little slave?" ”

"I haven't bought a carriage yet, let him live in your house first, and you will teach him some martial arts."

"No."

After returning to the house, Cao Pi took out the horn bow and began to practice archery, after all, he was going to go to the expedition again, and he was not facing Zhang Xiu, Liu Biao and the like, but the world-famous Wenhou Lu Bu, this expedition will not be as freehand as the one that went to Nanyang, because Zhang Xiu's strategy is to hide, but Lu Bu, who owns Xuzhou, will definitely not hide, and the encounter may happen at any time, Lu Bu's soldiers from Luoyang to Chang'an, from Chang'an to Hebei, from Hebei to Yanzhou, from Xuzhou in Yanzhou, can be called to fight the world, Regardless of the fierceness of the combat power, it is completely possible for the Cao army to be scattered and fall into a chaotic battle, and the ones who can save their lives at that time are the horn bow and the sword Yan.

A few days later, Sun Ce sent him to surrender to the Huiji Taishou Wang Lang Wang Jingxing into the Xu capital, offering a song, expressing his surrender, this Wang Lang is a native of Xuzhou, studied under the former Taiwei Yang Ci of the Han Dynasty, this Yang Ci is the father of the current Taichang Yang Biao, this Yang Biao also served as a captain, plus his father Yang Ci, grandfather Yang Bing, Taizu Fu Yang Zhen, a family of four generations, all generations are Taiwei, compared to the Yuan family known as the fourth and third princes are more prominent, protégés are naturally all over the world, Hongnong Yang's reputation is known to everyone today compared to the four major families of Yingchuan, The Hongnong Yang family is a mountain, and the four major families are just a stone, even if they are not dusty.

This is also the reason why Yang Biao is only a Taichang now, whether it is the old minister or Cao Cao, he has a lot of respect for him. Although Wang Lang is from the Hongnong Yang family, but compared with other disciples, his scriptures are more exquisite, especially good at the way of "Filial Piety" and "Zhou Yi", and he also has a great reputation in the world. It shows its reputation. Now he came to face the saint on behalf of Sun Ce, the court naturally will not slack off, the Son of Heaven summoned Wang Lang, and in the court, Cao Cao played the Son of Heaven, persuading the Son of Heaven to make Sun Ce a rebellious general, and named Wu Hou. Liu Xie, the son of heaven, naturally recruited, and in this way, Sun Ce, who was not yet twenty-four years old, was able to be made a marquis and became famous all over the world.

On the other hand, Wang Lang, who represented Sun Ce's face to the saint, did not plan to go back, this kind of celebrity was willing to stay in Xudu, which was a live recruitment advertisement, Cao Cao naturally couldn't ask for it, and immediately expressed him as a counselor and participated in the military service.

Cao Pi didn't care about this news, but continued his boring process of practicing bow and arrows and swordsmanship, and occasionally Xun Yue would come to give a lecture to Cao Pi, but his enthusiasm for talking about his work "Shen Jian" had gradually faded, obviously he thought that Cao Pi was not a task that he could influence, so he turned to Cao Pi more often to talk about classics such as "Historical Records" and "Zuo Chuan".

The old ministers of Donggui have not made any moves in the following days, perhaps they think that the problem is the seeds, and they can naturally puncture Cao Pi's miracle when they get the seeds, so before the harvest, I am afraid there will be no more action.

Time is like water, ten days of time in a flash, Cao Jun once again set out, leaving Xu Du to the east, crusade Xuzhou and go, this time Cao Jun can be said to be pouring out, in addition to Xiahou Yuan is still garrisoned on the border of Yingchuan, Xiahou Yuan is still stationed in Luoyang, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Yu Ban, Le Jin, Lu Qian, Shi Lian and other generals have sent troops from all over the country to gather in one place. Even Li Dian and Xu Du, who were in the Northern Army, were too full of favors and were taken by Cao Cao. The strategists were accompanied by Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Xun You, which shows that Cao Cao attached great importance to Lu Bu this time.

Among the Xu capital, there are Cao Xiu, the cavalry captain of the Northern Army, and Shang Shu Cheng Yu to control the overall situation. Cao Pi's position on this march was still among the sergeants of the Tiger Guard Battalion behind the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and the people on Cao Pi's left were Cao Cao, Xu Chu, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Xun You. The tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Chun was not the vanguard, the vanguard was the repaired Sergeant Liu Bei. After Bei Lu Bu defeated Liu Bei, there were still 3,000 soldiers left, and Cao Cao gave weapons and armor to Liu Bei, so that he could reorganize it, and after the reorganization, he became the vanguard.

Because the army marches too often, so Cao Pi still did not see Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, because the pioneer Liu Bei is with infantry, so the march is very slow, although the expedition has just passed the autumn harvest, Juntun and Mintun have collected some food, but to supply nearly 40,000 sergeants and 60,000 people, the daily consumption is still very large, and at the beginning of the year to attack Zhang Xiu, last year's surplus grain has been used up, Cao Jun's food can last at most three or four months, so Cao Cao's battle does not take too much time.

Now in the southwest, although Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao were injured, Zhang Xiu is now finished, but after all, Liu Biao occupies the rich Jingzhou, and has a year's harvest, recuperate, and will definitely be alive again in the coming year, Yuan Shao in the north has forced Gongsun Zan to a dead end, and he may be able to clean him up this year, if Cao Cao still can't clean up Lu Bu this year, then the next year will face Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, and Liu Biao's three-sided attack. In addition, Yuan Shu is still lingering in the Jiujiang generation, if he takes the opportunity to return to his hometown in Runan and use the prestige of the Yuan family to stab Cao Cao, it will be a flank attack from all sides, and there is no need to ask, and the game will be over.

"This is the battle ear that will determine my rise and fall!" Cao Cao said to Cao Pi when he was pulling.

Cao Pi also knew the seriousness of this battle, so he naturally cheered up and prepared for a fierce battle. Cao Jun went out of Xudu, entered Yanzhou in the east, and went south to Xuzhou through Jibei County, and just entered the territory of Pengcheng State in Xuzhou, there were tigers and leopards riding to report: Thirty miles ahead of the discovery of light cavalry scouts.

Cao Cao and Lu Bu have fought several times, and his elite soldiers and tiger and leopard cavalry have naturally dealt with Lu Bu many times, and when they see the other party's scouts, they can naturally recognize it at a glance, Cao Cao immediately stopped marching when he heard it, camped on the spot, and no longer advanced, obviously he thought that Lu Bu's army was in the territory of Peng Chengguo, in order to prevent the other party from raiding, so he simply camped to prevent the other party from taking advantage of the long march of his own army.

Lu Bu came quickly, at least much faster than Zhang Xiu, which also shows that Lu Bu is not afraid of Cao Jun's hard thinking.
