Zhou Chen continued to shake his head, sighed, and slowly spit out a sentence: "I want three thousand leather armor and three thousand good broadswords!" ”

"Shhh Hearing this number, even Dian Wei and Pei Yuanqing behind Zhou Chen also gasped, a little ruthless!

The lord is worthy of being born in a yellow scarf, and this method is really extraordinary! The two glanced at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Although he had expected it in his heart, he really didn't expect Zhou Chen to make this price.

On the other hand, Tao Qian and the others were calmer than Dian Wei, and they were also stunned for a moment, but they reacted quickly.

Mi Zhu's face is a little ugly, although he has money, but he has not reached the point of being cheated casually! Weapons and armor can be different from food. In recent years, there have been no major disasters, and Xuzhou has always had a surplus of grain, but this weapon is not armored

After years of war, Xuzhou consumed a lot of armor, and now there is not much left, which is also the reason for Mi Zhu's embarrassment, these three thousand armor weapons are almost half of Xuzhou's stock!

"Brother Xian, you see, I don't have so many of these things in Xuzhou, so it's better to be like this. We will give half of the weapons and armor, and make up the rest with food, I don't know if it is feasible? After all, the Mi family is a business owner, and Mi Zhu quickly made a decision.

Zhou Chen didn't get entangled, his main purpose was not here, and he was already very satisfied with such a generous reward.

"That's fine, in this case, I'll write a letter and send three thousand elites to help!"

Not long after Zhou Chen gave the order, he saw a person rushing into the mansion in a hurry.

Seeing the flustered look of the visitor, Tao Qian's heart couldn't help but burst, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

"What's the matter?" Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Tao Qian pretended to be calm.

"Lord, Tan Ma Lai reported, Cao Cao led 100,000 troops, and he has already killed Xuzhou!"

"What?" Tao Qian stood up abruptly, obviously not expecting Cao Cao to be so fast. There are many conditions that need to be considered when the army goes out, and it cannot be completed in a day or two, and he also thought that Cao Cao would come over, and the speed would be very fast. But he didn't expect Cao Cao to come so quickly, so he didn't wait for him to make any preparations!

"Tell me more about it! Where has Cao Cao's army gone now? Tao Qian then asked hurriedly.

"Cao Cao Fang is out of Yanzhou, and there are still a few days to travel from here."

"Don't panic Tao Gong, for today's plan, it's better to shrink the forces first!" Zhou Chen said: "Cao Mengde has become a climate, Yanzhou is already in his hands, it is really unwise to attack the enemy head-on at this time, and it is the right way to defend the key cities!" ”

Zhou Chen's analysis is also very reasonable, Tao Qian came to his senses: "Yes, yes, yes!" That's it! Pass the order, if you encounter Cao Cao's army, don't resist, focus on defending the counties of Xiapi, and always report to me the movements of Cao's army! ”

"Yes!"

The herald, after listening to the order to retreat, Tao Qian touched the sweat stains on his head, and hired a husband to feel a little emotional, obviously, the news of Fang Cai gave him a great impact.

"I wonder when the general's soldiers will arrive in my Xuzhou?" Mi Zhu is more calm than Tao Qian. Tao Qian was so concerned that he was so confused that he was confused for a while.

"Five days!" Zhou Chen said categorically: "In five days, our army will arrive!" ”

In fact, it doesn't take five days to get from Qingzhou to Xuzhou. The Anle army is all elite, and the marching speed is part of the daily training, which is nearly half faster than the average army, and the reason why it is said to be five days is mainly to let Cao Cao and Tao Qian have a big battle, so as to weaken the strength of both sides.

Anyway, Xuzhou is not his own territory, and Zhou Chen is not worried at all.

"Five days? Maybe a little shorter? Tao Qian frowned when he heard this. In five days, Cao Cao is afraid that he will have arrived early.

"Five days is already the shortest, there are a lot of mountains in Xuzhou, our army still needs to be dispatched, even at the fastest speed, it will take five days, as for how this time passes, it depends on Tao Gong, your own!" Zhou Chen spread his hands and looked helpless.

Although Tao Qian also saw Zhou Chen's thoughts, he couldn't say it to his face, and now he could only look at Zhou Chen, if he was annoyed and angry, Xuzhou would be finished! Tao Qian didn't dare to bet, and Mi Zhu didn't dare either!!

"If Tao Gong is fine, then I will go back first. If Meng De wants to attack, I am afraid that it will take a few days, presumably in just a few days, with Tao Gong's strength, it should not be a problem to block. Zhou Chen waved his hand, with a smile on his face.

"Virtuous brother!"

"Brother Zizhong, let's stay, the three of us just find a post station to live in, don't trouble Brother Zizhong."

This feeling of sending people under the fence is really not good, anyway, Zhou Chen can't stand it. Isn't it that there is no money, no place to live? Why do you live in someone else's house? It's better to be out there.

Dian Wei and Pei Yuanqing naturally had no opinions, and the two rarely objected to what Zhou Chen said.

Zhou Chen insisted, and Mi Zhu stopped persuading, said goodbye to each other, and left separately.

"Lord, aren't there a lot of soldiers and horses on the East China Sea outside? Why did you go to Qingzhou to find reinforcements? Pei Yuanqing was puzzled.

"I have a plan in my heart, and you will know when the time comes." Zhou Chen smiled slightly, and his unpredictable smile made him even more profound.

In the past few days, the frequent movement of soldiers and horses in Sanzhou has attracted the attention of the world.

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Zhang Yan in the north, the tripartite war has just ended, and there is a storm again here. Tao Qian, who had not made a move for a long time, became the protagonist of this war, and Cao Cao, for revenge, led the army to Xuzhou in a mighty manner, and the momentum was not small!

Cao Cao led 100,000 people, rushed to attack Xuzhou, his army was full of vigor, plus the division was famous, Cao's soldiers were all high-spirited, and there was a great posture to capture the entire Xuzhou in one fell swoop. The princes of the world were shocked, but they didn't expect Cao Mengde to have such strength quietly, and at the same time, he also had a lot of urgency in his heart.

Tao Qian followed Zhou Chen's advice, shrank a large number of troops, and focused on defending a few cities.

As soon as the battle line of the Cao army was lengthened, the numerical advantage was immediately weakened a lot, but the territory that had been beaten down could not be left alone! Otherwise, your back road will be cut off!

A few days later, when Cao's soldiers approached the city, their numbers were already equal to those of Tao Qian's men.

Tao Qian is an old force after all, and during this period of time, although Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others have risen rapidly and developed at an extremely amazing speed, no one can ignore Tao Qian, an old fox. Don't look at him now being suppressed by Cao Cao, and he is defeated, in fact, Xuzhou really doesn't have much to lose.

Cao Cao didn't want to lose both, he just encroached step by step, wanting to kill Tao Qian to disintegrate Xuzhou!

The tall city wall blocked the tiger and wolf army under Cao Cao, the banners fluttered on the city, and there were many swords and guns, obviously, the soldiers defending the city were also elite! Don't forget, Tao Qian has been sitting in Xuzhou for some years, and he has always been low-key, no one knows how much strength he has accumulated, and the elite will be so lacking?
