At night, Cao Yingnai convened the generals to discuss.

Cao Ren said, "It's better to take advantage of the darkness and wait for the opportunity to attack at night!" ”

"No!" Xun Yu frowned and said, "Don't say that this plan is easy to be seen through by people of insight in Xuzhou, just say that I will come all the way, and the soldiers are tired, so it is better to rest for a few days to make Xuzhou!" ”

Xiahoudun was convinced by Jiang Zhe, but he was not convinced by Xun Yu, and when he heard the words, he said, "Xun Zhen blames me for burning the city all the way and destroying the people's residences?" ”

"Huh?" Xun Yu paused for a moment, and then said with a wry smile, "Yu just said that the soldiers had worked hard all the way, and he never said that the general meant." ”

"Yuan Rang!" Cao Ying snorted, glared and said, "I don't blame you yet!" Did you say it first? What did I say when I made you a pioneer? Don't hurt the people......"

"I didn't hurt the people!" Xiahoudun said unconvinced.

"You ......" Cao Ying was just about to drink him, and suddenly thought in his heart, Yuan Rang's words were right, he didn't hurt the people, although he was afraid that he would be dissatisfied with Shouyi, but he finally vented the hatred in his heart! If you take Tao Qian's head again, this battle will be successful!

"Lord!" Guo Jia said with a light smile, "Although General Xiahou's move did not hurt innocent people, what is the difference between the two? How can the people survive without the fields and houses they depend on for their survival? This is contrary to our plans! ”

Cao Ying was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand, just looked at Guo Jia.

"The lord must just be taking care of the personal grudge with Tao Qian, but I can't wait for ......" Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai, and said with a chuckle, "If today's disputes arise, if the lord wants to level the world, Xuzhou is a major grain producing land, so he must take it!" Thinking of this, we will persuade the lord to attack Xuzhou, but for the sake of the lord's consideration, I think Shouyi also understands in my heart, but now that General Xiahou is like this, the people's hearts are ......"

Hearing this, Xiahoudun said angrily, "I avenge my uncle, and I didn't kill the people, so why should I be blamed?" ”

"You have to say this matter with righteousness!" Guo Jia said lightly, he naturally knew that Xiahoudun had an admiration for Jiang Zhena.

"You!" Sure enough, Xiahoudun was anxious and angry, pointing at Guo Jia speechless.

Cao Ying pondered for a moment and sighed, "I only care about revenge, and I never thought about everything, but now that the big mistake has been made, how can I remedy it?" ”

"Take Xuzhou as soon as possible!" Guo Jia said, "Then gather the nearby exiled people to help them resume production and stabilize Xuzhou!" ”

Cao Ying was deeply surprised, nodded yes, and then asked, "It's just that Xuzhou City has a lot of strong soldiers, and it is difficult to capture it for a while, so what's the matter?" ”

"The night attack that General Cao said, you might as well give it a try!" Xun Yu said.

That night, Cao Ren led a thousand elite soldiers, sneaked close to Xuzhou, and suddenly found that there was some hazy light outside Xuzhou City, and suddenly staggered at a glance, it turned out that there were many huge bronze mirrors erected on the city wall, illuminating the outside of Xuzhou City by the huge bonfire.

Before Cao Ren approached, there was a commotion on the Xuzhou city wall, and then the alarm bell was raised, and the Xuzhou soldiers waited on the city wall one after another, waiting solemnly.

Cao Ren saw that he was alarmed by the other party, and he was helpless, so he had to lead the army back and inform Cao Ying and the strategists of the matter.

When Cao Ying heard this, he was suddenly surprised.

Guo Jia condensed and said, "Could it be that there are high-ranking people in the city to help? ”

Cao Ying was puzzled in his heart, and looked at the direction of Xuzhou for a long time without saying a word.

Second, Xiahou Yuan was ordered by Cao Ying to find the people near Xuzhou and get one or two people.

Cao Ying asked, "Are there famous people in the city?" ”

The people were panicked and couldn't speak, Xun Yu persuaded him with kind words, and the people said, "Xuzhou Chen Yuanlong and Mi Zizhong are all famous people in Xuzhou!" ”

Cao Ying frowned when he heard this, and then asked, "What is on the wall of Xuzhou?" Who placed it on the city walls? ”

The people said, "This is when the Yellow Turban thieves attacked Xuzhou before, the East Gate guards were placed on the East Gate City Wall, and now, Xuzhou City is to prevent ...... That's why the walls are filled with this! ”

Looking at the frightened look of those people when they saw him, Cao Ying couldn't help but feel a secret worry in his heart, and secretly said in his heart, what Wen Ruo said is true, now the people are afraid of me, I am afraid that it will be difficult to govern......

"Who will be the East Gate Keeper before?" Guo Jia asked lightly.

"En......" The common man thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be Chen Yuanlong, the son of the Chen family, oh, no, in fact, the previous Shou General was his teacher, Mr. Jiang Zhejiang Shouyi!" ”

"Oh, it turned out to be ...... What did you say? Cao Ying glared and said that in the end, it was Shouyi who placed it here?

"Haha!" Zhicai laughed heartily and said, "I still have a master in the city, it turns out that ......"

"Ahem!" Xun Yu coughed and secretly looked at Cao Ying's expression.

Seeing Cao Ying's helpless face, he waved his hand and said to the people, "Go down!" ”

The people hurriedly saluted and hurried away.

Looking at these smiling strategists, Cao Ying said with a wry smile, "Ye really has mixed feelings in his heart at the moment!" ”

"Oh?" Guo Jia knew Cao Ying's surname very well, and followed his words and said, "Lord? How? Could it be that he is strange and righteous in his heart? ”

"This is the strategy left by him when he rejected the yellow scarf, and he doesn't know what will happen later, how can he blame him?" Cao Ying shook his head and said, "I am happy and worried in my heart, I am happy that righteousness is a great weapon in the world, and now it is used by Ye, and the worry is that now the night attack will not be successful, and the city has already been prepared, and I am afraid that I will not be able to attack him for a while!" ”

"What's this afraid of!" Xun Yu smiled and said, "The people in Xuzhou City are not righteous, but others use the strategy of righteousness, we will wait...... Later, the people said, "There is a man in the city who is a student of righteousness?" ”

"Huh?" Cao Ying was surprised when he heard this, and said in a loud voice, "Ye Fang only heard the name of righteousness, and never heard anything else, all the kings, ......."

"It seems to be that Chen Yuanlong!" Guo Jia muttered.

"Yes!" Xi Zhicai laughed and said, "I didn't expect Shouyi to leave a student in Xuzhou, which caused a major obstacle to the great cause of the lord, and he will be punished when he goes back!" ”

Cao Ying shook his head with a wry smile, and then said, "Since Chen Yuanlong can be accepted as a disciple by Shouyi, he must be very knowledgeable, so don't underestimate him!" We led 50,000 elite soldiers to attack, and Xuzhou only had more than 20,000 soldiers. ”

"Fight the enemy! Xuzhou will be broken! Xun Yu said lightly.

So Cao Ying followed Xun Yu's strategy and besieged Xuzhou with Zhengyu soldiers, and both sides suffered casualties.

Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian was worried, summoned his subordinates and said, "What Cao Mengde is trying to do is me!" It's better to surrender, don't let the Xuzhou soldiers die in vain. ”

Xuzhou engaged in Mi Zhu said, "Although Cao Mengde is powerful, we are not afraid, the adults are very generous to the people, now Xuzhou is in trouble, the people will help, I went to Beihai in the starry night, ask to see Kong Wenju, let him lead the troops to rescue, so not afraid of Cao Yingye!" ”

Everyone echoed Mi Zhu's words, Tao Qian thought about it, and said to Mi Zhu, "Zizhong, everything will be done to you!" ”

"Don't dare!" Mi Zhu bowed humbly, walked out quickly, and rode his horse out of Luoyang to Beihai.

Tao Qian sighed, "Poor people of Xuzhou are innocently implicated by me, Yuanlong, the city is guarded and handed over to you!" ”

"Yes!" Chen Deng's jaw responded, but there was some trouble in his heart, fortunately, the teacher will come to Xuzhou......

In another place, when Lu Bu left Luoyang and voted for his friend Zhang Miao, Zhang Miao accepted it, it happened that Chen Gong went to say Zhang Miao, and took advantage of the emptiness of Cao Yingyanzhou to lead the army to attack it.

Lu Bu was moved when he heard this, Zhang Miao saw it, and sighed that his old friend had fallen to this, so he helped Lu Bu with 5,000 elite soldiers and helped him take Yanzhou as his residence.

Lu Bu was overjoyed, so he summoned the generals to go to Yanzhou.
