Feng Xian couldn't help but sigh: "In order to kill one person, he killed thousands of innocent people; I am really worried that if this continues, Cao Cao's hands will be heavily indebted, and he will become notorious, and it will delay the plan to welcome the Son of Heaven in the west; He has to be persuaded by a good student to focus on the overall situation. ”

I nodded and said, "My brother is not unreasonable; It's just that Cao Cao has been blinded by hatred at this time, and it is useless to just persuade him; And now the only effective way is to remove his control over the Qingzhou soldiers. ”

Feng Xian couldn't help but say: "Now that the Qingzhou soldiers have completely obeyed his orders, I'm afraid this military power is not so easy to remove, right?" ”

I looked at me and said, "Someone's coming." ”

Immediately, Xi Zhicai walked in from outside the tent, with a worried look on his face, and said, "Two generals, Zhicai is polite." ”

Feng Xian said: "Mr. Xi doesn't have to be polite; What is the war ahead of us now? ”

Xi Zhicai couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, the place where the army passed, almost no chickens and dogs remained; Tens of thousands of people were killed in this battle, which is really shocking to watch! ”

Feng Xian couldn't help frowning, but said, "Although Tao Qian is at fault this time, can't he implicate the people so brutally?" After all, the people are innocent. ”

Xi Zhicai also nodded and said, "Yes; I have advised Cao Gong several times to stop the unprovoked killing, but he refused to listen to any of them, and drove me back; Zhicai really had no choice, so he had to come to the two generals for help. ”

I said, "I am also discussing this matter with my brother Fangcai, and I feel that if I can remove his control over the Qingzhou soldiers, I should be able to prevent the tragedy from continuing to happen; I wonder what Mr. Zhicai thinks? ”

Xi Zhicai couldn't help but think about it, nodded and said, "I'm afraid this is the only way now; It's just that the Qingzhou soldiers have now returned to Cao Gong, how can he easily remove his control over the Qingzhou soldiers? ”

I smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, I have a way." ”

That night, I ordered Qin Yi and Zhang Xiao to take a few brothers and sneak into the camp of the Qingzhou Army and put some laxatives in their water tanks. When it was time to eat the next day, I saw that they were all holding their stomachs and pulling non-stop. As a result, Cao Cao had to temporarily suspend his troops.

Immediately, I took Zhang Jing to the camp of the Qingzhou army, and then asked Guan Hai to gather everyone and say to them: "Now you are cruel to the people of Xuzhou for no reason, so that the spirit of the great sage and good teacher in the sky is not at peace; Therefore, a small misfortune is hereby sent down as a punishment, and it is ordered that you and others shall not make any more false killings. ”

When the Qingzhou soldiers heard this, they couldn't help but feel very frightened, so they all knelt down and prayed for forgiveness from Zhang Jiao's spirit in the sky.

In this regard, Cao Cao couldn't help but be very puzzled, so he ordered someone to investigate the reason behind this matter. However, he couldn't find anything for a while, which couldn't help but make him wonder.

After the diarrhea of the Qingzhou army recovered, Cao Cao ordered to continue the attack on Tancheng. This time, the Qingzhou army was much more restrained, and did not dare to fight the dead hand after encountering the people, but it also reduced the efficiency of the siege a lot. As a result, Cao Cao changed his tactics again and ordered a temporary siege but not an attack.

Since the grain and grass in the city could not last long, Tao Qian had no choice but to send someone to Qingzhou to ask Tian Kai for help. Subsequently, Tian Kai and Liu Bei led the army to come to the aid and stationed next to Sangong Mountain in the east of Tancheng. Tao Qian knew that Liu Bei was good at fighting, so he handed over the four thousand elite Danyang soldiers in his hand to him to command.

In other words, since I fought with the Kwantung princes, I have been famous all over the world, and the armor produced by my Huo Village has also become famous all over the world. The armor that Tao Qian gave Liu Bei to the four thousand Danyang soldiers was all purchased from Huo Village. It can also be seen from this that the land of Xuzhou is really quite rich.

Immediately, Tian Kai and Liu Bei led their troops to fight Cao Cao. Liu Bei ordered Zhao Yun to lead the Danyang soldiers as the vanguard to meet the Qingzhou army head-on, while Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led their headquarters to attack and disturb the flank. The two armies were at a stalemate for a while.

Let's say that the martial arts under Zhao Yun's hands are very good, and a spear makes the dragon fly and the phoenix dance, which is dazzling. He led the Danyang soldiers to intersperse left and right in the Qingzhou military formation, almost unstoppable, and he can be described as a fierce general of the three armies.

Cao Cao couldn't help frowning and said, "I didn't expect Liu Bei's subordinates to have such fierce generals; Seeing that he was young, only twenty years old, he practiced such a good martial arts; Who in our army can match it? ”

Xi Zhicai replied: "Back to Cao Gong, General Lu and the young general should be able to take it down." ”

Cao Cao said, "Hey, I know that the two of them have this ability; I'm asking who else can match me? ”

Xi Zhicai couldn't help but say: "I'm afraid there is no such thing." ”

Cao Ren on the side said, "Why not; There was a flag-bearer in the army named Dian Wei, who was as strong as an ox and had great strength; And holding the big flag in one hand is nothing, when you can fight with that young general. ”

"Oh?" Cao Cao's expression moved when he heard this, and he said, "Dian Wei stepped forward to fight that young general to see if he could capture him." ”

"No." The herald responded, and Xuan Wei ran to Dian Wei and said, "Dian Wei, Duke Cao ordered you to go into battle and take down the enemy generals." ”

"Oh, I see; Banner help me get it. Dian Wei responded and threw the banner to the herald.

And yet, "Oops, it's going to fall!" The herald was so weak that he barely managed to hold it.

Fortunately, Dian Wei hurriedly grabbed the flagpole again, and said with a smile: "Look at your small figure, why can't you even carry the big flag." ”

The herald rolled his eyes and said, "That's why I became a herald, who can be as tall as you." ”

Dian Wei smiled and said, "If you can't carry it, stand on the ground and hold it, so that you won't be tired; Okay, you hold me for a while, and I'll go to war. ”

The herald hurriedly said, "Hey, you can hurry up, I'll have to give the order for the lord in a while!" ”

"Okay, you know." Dian Wei Yingsheng has already been on the horse.

Immediately, I saw Dian Wei quickly rush into the formation, but after a few rushes and kills, he exchanged hands with Zhao Yun. But seeing that the double halberd in Dian Wei's hand is also dancing vigorously, its power is not weaker than Zhao Yun. Then, the two attacked dozens of moves, but they failed to distinguish the winner.

Cao Cao couldn't help but nodded and said, "Well, this Dian Wei does have two hits, why didn't I know that there was such a warrior in the army before?" ”

Cao Ren said: "This person was originally a sergeant under Sima Zhao Pet under Chen Liutaishou Zhang Mengzhuo, and after Zhao Pet died, he went back to his hometown Jiwu; Soon he returned to Zhang Taishou as an attendant, and joined our army a few months ago on the recommendation of the major general; I saw that he was very powerful, so I put him in charge of carrying the banner. ”

Cao Cao asked again: "Does he know how to lead the army to fight?" ”

Cao Ren said: "He was poor since he was a child, and he never went to the school; I can't even read a few big characters, and I can't talk about the method of commanding the army. ”

Cao Cao said: "There is courage but no strategy, but he is just a reckless man." ”

At this time, Tian Kai suddenly led 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack from the south bypass, and after a short time, they killed the flank, and the Qingzhou army gradually began to panic.

"Huh?" Cao Cao couldn't help frowning when he saw this. Xi Zhicai couldn't help but say: "It turned out to be from the south, it seems that the other party is also a person who can use soldiers; It is necessary to send a team of soldiers and horses to block the incoming army, otherwise I am afraid that the formation of the Qingzhou army will be chaotic. ”

Cao Ren couldn't help but say: "I'll lead the headquarters to stop the incoming army." ”

Cao Cao said, "No need; Today's battle has been fought for a long time, and the soldiers are all tired, so let's retreat first. ”

So, Cao Cao ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. Later, when he returned to the camp, he found that Feng Xian and I were not there, so he summoned the soldiers and asked, "What about the two generals?" ”

The soldier replied: "Back to the lord, Chen Liuzhang Taishou sent someone to report that Mrs. Lu was about to give birth soon; The two generals then led the soldiers of their headquarters back to Chen. ”

"Oh?" Cao Cao couldn't help but look moved when he heard this, but said: "I never thought that Lu Fengxian's wife could give birth at this time, which is a happy event." ”

Xi Zhicai couldn't help but say: "Cao Gong, it's cold winter now, and it looks like it's going to snow; The Qingzhou army has gradually lost the will to fight, and I am afraid that the grain and grass will not be able to help, so it is better to collect troops and return to Yanzhou, right? ”

Cao Cao said: "No, seeing that Xuzhou is about to be taken, if you withdraw your troops and leave at this time, it will be tantamount to giving up your previous efforts; Besides, my father's blood vengeance has not been avenged, and we must not give up halfway! ”

Xi Zhicai said: "As the saying goes, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge; Why should Cao Gong be in a hurry? ”

Cao Cao said: "Needless to say, I have made up my mind; If I don't kill Tao Qian, I will never withdraw my troops back to Yanzhou! ”

"Alas!" Xi Zhicai couldn't help but sigh and shook his head, he was helpless about Cao Cao's stubbornness. Immediately, he said: "What if you kill Tao Qian, what if you don't kill Tao Qian?" Could it be that after killing Tao Qian, Cao Taigong can be resurrected? Cao Gong, those who achieve great things must be able to tolerate what ordinary people can't; Please think deeply about it. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but immediately groan. (To be continued.) )
