Chapter 49 Cao Mengde attacked Xuzhou

Qingzhou is located in the middle of the Shandong Peninsula, between the East China Sea and Mount Tai. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Mount Tai is now occupied by Zang Ba, isolating a possible threat from the north. Yuan Shao is still fighting with Gongsun Zhan for Hebei, and he will not have the strength to go south for a while and a half.

And Cao Cao, who occupied Chen Liu, is now also miserable. Next to him is Luoyang, where bandits are already rampant. He was going to be busy settling the place and at the same time showing strength to the four directions. After he adopted the tuntian system, the troops that could be mobilized increased their value significantly, and there was no power to force Zang Ba to submit.

Then, the only problem left is Tao Qian in the south. Now among the enemies on all sides of Qingzhou, only this Xuzhou Mu can have the strength to go north and bring the scattered Qingzhou into control.

Tao Qian now sits in Xuzhou, Xiapi, Danyang and other places, with brave soldiers and excellent armor. There is no need for more, Tao Qian only needs to send 50,000 elite soldiers, and Gu Lu only has two ways: running away and surrendering.

Although he is very capable of fighting, he has several generals who can fight, and he also has hundreds of elite soldiers who can fight, but this point is still not enough in front of tens of thousands of people. Unless he can increase the strength of Wushuang by two orders of magnitude, otherwise, if he wants to rely on such a small number of troops to carry Tao Qian's tens of thousands of troops, it will be just a fool's dream.

"Wait," Zhou Cang said: "We have millions of yellow turbans in Qingzhou, and there are no less than 100,000 people who can fight, how can we not even carry 50,000 people?" Besides, these officers and soldiers are not as good as they are every year. In the past two years, the officers and soldiers of Qingzhou have almost disappeared. ”

Zhou Cang was a rather majestic warrior, eight feet tall, and his strength was around eighty. He wore an iron helmet with a large-brimmed hat on his head, and he was not wearing armor, but he wore a cloth robe casually, revealing a large black chest hair.

"Hmm, you say we have 100,000 warriors?" Gu Lu took off both the voyeur and the iron armor, and said with a relaxed expression: "You say, is it more than five, or more than one?" ”

Zhou Cang touched his head and said, "Of course, five is more than one." ”

"It's five," Gu Lu raised his left hand and shook five fingers. Then, he raised his right fist and said, "This is one." ”

"Fighting a war requires a unified command." Gu Lu said: "We can't command the troops of the other leaders at all. By the time the army was overwhelmed, most of those leaders had surrendered one after another. ”

"I don't think so," Zhou Cang said with a big grin: "The officers and soldiers are unreliable, how many surrendered Yellow Turbans did they kill before?" Who would dare to surrender these bastards now? ”

"One time, another." Gu Lu said: "At that time, the empire still had enough authority to command the central government of the world. But now, Suiyang (Luoyang) has been burned to the ground, and the world has entered the era of competing for hegemony. ”

"So what does it matter?" Zhou Cang said puzzledly: "That's just right, they kill each other, and we live our lives happily here." ”

"We're surrounded by big warlords who want to expand their territory and power, and you think they'll tolerate us staying here?"

"Then we'll hold on to the walled city!" Zhou Cangman said nonchalantly: "Even if Tao Qian sends more troops, we are not afraid!" ”

"You......... What a guts! ”

"Haha, in this world, those who are not brave enough have already starved to death. Those who can survive will either become soldiers or robbers, and the kiln gate will simply rebel directly like us. ”

"Then aren't you worried about tens of thousands of elite soldiers directly pressing over?"

"Don't worry," Zhou Cang said with a big grin: "The officers and soldiers are here, and we will fight with them!" ”

"What if I can't win?"

"If we can't win, we will go somewhere else, and I don't believe they can chase us all the time. Besides, isn't there still a general? ”

"Me? You think so highly of me. I can probably kill a hundred," Gu Lu sighed, and after all, he still didn't have enough strength. Whether it is the army, equipment, or personal force, self-protection may be enough, but if you want to dominate one side, this strength is completely insufficient.

"Well, general," Zhou Cang asked, "Then Xuzhou Assassin Shi Taoqian won't really send a large army to crusade against us?" ”

"It was a possibility, but now I guess he doesn't have the heart to embarrass us."

"How?" Zhou Cang's spirits perked, "Could it be that the general has made some strange tricks?" ”

"No, it's okay with me this time." Gu Lu said coldly: "It's just that Cao Cao sent troops to attack Xuzhou, and he Tao Gongzu can't pull out." ”

"Cao Cao is the one named Cao Mengde?"

"You also know Cao Mengde, it seems that his fame is really loud." Gu Lu sighed: "Cao Mengde led the troops before, and the whole army was wiped out several times, and after so many defeats and bad battles, now he finally begins to spread his wings and fly high." ”

"Are you saying Cao Cao will win?"

"Yes, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Xuan, Cao Chun, Le Jin, Yu Ban, Xu Zhu, Dian Wei and others under Cao Mengde are all the generals of the world, and the soldiers and horses are also elite soldiers. What's more, these people have fought a lot of battles before, and they don't know how much they have eaten with experience points. Although the Danyang soldiers under Tao Qian have always been called elites, they have no experience in big battles from generals to soldiers, and they are afraid that they will suffer. ”

"So what do we do? Follow Cao Cao to fight Tao Qian? ”

“...... No," Gu Lu shook his head, "We are not strong enough, and if we are strong, I am afraid that we will not even be able to keep our hometown." Besides, the Taishan thief Zang Ba has tens of thousands of soldiers, and he is eyeing us from the side, so he may not be able to watch us continue to expand our territory. ”

"Zang Ba is just a thief who can only hide near Mount Tai, where can he compare with an army like us that occupies the state and county?" Zhou Cang said disapprovingly: "Even if he dares to come, there are still so many leaders in front of him." ”

"Well, what you said makes sense," Gu Lu nodded, "but I heard that Zang Ba had dealings with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, so I was afraid that he would bring the officers and soldiers of the brigade over." At that time, if we were out of the way, it would be a big deal. ”

"In that case," Zhou Cang puffed up his chest, "then we'll defeat Tarzan Thief Zang Ba first!" Then go south to Xuzhou! ”

Gu Lu looked at the high-spirited Zhou Cang, and his face was impassive. It's a beautiful thing to say, but is it that easy?

Although Zang Ba's command is also full of mountains, they do have a common leader. And their Qingzhou Yellow Turban is a large number of generals and leaders from all walks of life. Although it is claimed to be a million people, it may not be able to take advantage of this fight.

Besides, since he killed his former boss, he has a very bad reputation in the yellow scarf. These guys, presumably, will only read their own jokes, right?

Now, he missed the time when he had the space-time gate. If I can get hundreds of cannons, even if it's Lu Bu, I'll kill you! (To be continued.) )
