Cao Bao suddenly fell asleep, and scolded angrily: "Chen Deng, you shameless villain, Tao Tai treats you like a mountain, you don't want to repay, but want to join the enemy, you can't die!" ”

Chen Deng smiled wickedly, and said in a strange manner: "Since you are so loyal to Tao Qian, I will give you to Cao Cao to fulfill your loyalty." ”

"Shameless! Dirty! I'll fuck your eighteenth generation ancestor! Cao Bao scolded Chen Deng.

Chen Deng ignored Cao Bao and commanded his 800 subordinates, half of which were eliminated by the sergeants around Cao Bao, and half of them cut down the city gate and put down the drawbridge.

Cao Cao's army swarmed in, Xiahoudun led the advance into the city, and the spear started, and no one in Xuzhou could beat its front, and they retreated one after another.

It didn't take much effort for Cao Cao's military horses to completely occupy Xuzhou and capture Tao Qian.

A small number of soldiers and horses in Xuzhou were killed, and most of them surrendered.

Cao Cao entered the Taishou Mansion, and his subordinates pushed Tao Qian in and pressed him to the ground.

"Tao Qian, I came here with good intentions, why did you ask someone to guard the city gate and shoot down the arrows?" Cao Cao reprimanded, looking right.

No, strictly speaking, he is a man of reason and strength, who is often good at reversing black and white and confusing right and wrong.

"Tao Qian is willing to surrender and beg the public network to open up", Tao Qian knelt and kowtowed.

At this time, Chen Deng was escorting Cao Bao in, and he happened to see this scene.

"Tao Qian, you greedy for life and afraid of death, your husband died when he died, why are you so spineless, you actually kneel and beg to surrender?"

"In vain, I Cao Bao was born and died for you, but I don't know that you are so servile!" Cao Bao was furious.

"Tao Gongzu, you are also a celebrity, and I won't come to make it difficult for you, so let you still wear the Taishou seal letter and go to Yanzhou to live", Cao Cao paid a compassionate look.

"As for Xuzhou, under your governance, the old man really can't bear to make the people so unhappy. For the sake of the common people in the world, I will be reluctant to make it difficult, so I have to help you manage it", Cao Cao sighed.

"Tao Qian thanked Ming Gong for not killing", Tao Qian heard that Cao Cao actually spared himself from death, and let himself wear the Taishou seal letter, such as receiving amnesty, kowtowing like a hen pecking rice.

Cao Bao couldn't bear to look at it anymore, turned his head away, and felt deeply ashamed.

After dealing with Tao Qian, Cao Cao turned around and shouted: "Cao Bao, since he was captured by me, don't you know that the current affairs are Junjie, why don't you kneel down and surrender?" ”

Cao Bao snorted and reprimanded angrily: "There are only generals in Xuzhou who are standing and dying, and there are no villains who are born on their knees." ”

Cao Cao laughed, stepped forward to untie the rope tied to Cao Bao, patted him on the shoulder and said: "What a general who stands to die, Cao Mou is the most loyal and righteous person in his life, and he was just joking with Brother Cao just now." ”

"Tao Qian can't use a loyal and brave person like a general, how can Xuzhou not give it away?"

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao treated himself like this, Cao Bao felt a hot current in his heart, he was just a third-rate general, and Tao Qian usually didn't reuse himself much.

Compared with the two, Cao Bao finally knelt down on his knees, and shouted: "Meng Minggong values it so much, Cao Bao is willing to be a cow and a horse for Minggong, and he has no regrets." ”

"Brother Cao, please get up, from now on, you will be my Cao Cao's confidant and favorite general", Cao Cao stretched out his hand to help him, looking very moved.

This is the cunning of a traitor.

Cao Bao is an unknown person, Cao Cao is so enveloped, and as soon as the reputation of his Cao Someone Lixian Corporal spreads, he is afraid that there will be no real wise and brave generals to vote.

Chen Deng saw that people like Cao Bao could be appreciated, and he helped Cao Cao break through Xuzhou, and made such a great achievement, and he was thinking about how Cao Cao didn't know how to reward himself.

Sure enough, Cao Cao set his eyes on Chen Deng, twisted his beard and smiled: "Chen Deng, if it weren't for your counterattack, I would have to take Xuzhou and have to spend a lot of time." Say, what reward wilt thou have? ”

Chen Deng's heart blossomed, and he made a humble gesture on the surface, and flattered: "Chen Deng dare to ask for any reward, but he admires Ming Gong in his heart and is willing to serve Ming Gong for his dogs and horses." ”

"In the future, Ming Gong has a life, even if Chen Deng's liver and brain are smeared, he will follow Ming Gong underground."

"Hehe, Chen Yuanlong, it's rare for you to be loyal", Cao Cao was happy in his heart, and laughed, "If the old man doesn't fulfill your loyalty, won't he live up to your enthusiasm." ”

"Ming Gong is looking forward to it, what Chen Deng said, every sentence is true. My loyalty to Ming Gong is as bright as the sun and the moon, and heaven and earth can prove it. ”

"Okay, since you are willing to smear my liver and brain, let it be for you", Cao Cao was still smiling, but his eyes turned cold, "Come on, push Chen Deng out and behead him." ”

"Get the order", set up Chen Deng left and right and walked out.

"Gong Cao, you can't treat meritorious people like this, others will say that you don't have to kill the dog and hide the bird", Chen Deng hissed.

"Betrayal, Tao Qian treats you like a mountain, you will rebel in the blink of an eye, what is the use of me leaving you", Cao Cao sneered and said in disgust.

"Cao Cao, you ungrateful villain, I can't eat your flesh in life, and after death, I will turn into a ghost and hook your soul", Chen Deng let out a terrible roar, and he regretted not being at the beginning.

Cao Cao waved his hand, not wanting to see Chen Deng again, so his subordinates set up Chen Deng, walked out of the house quickly, and after a short time, he offered Chen Deng's head.

"Hang the head of this thief above the city gate, and let those who betray the lord take it as a warning," Cao Cao said coldly, and there seemed to be infinite hatred hidden in his tone.

Betrayed by Zhang Liao, Yu Ban, Gao Shun and Dian Wei, Cao Cao hated the traitors.

Especially Dian Wei, in order to let him betray Zhang Miao and switch to himself, Cao Cao spent a lot of effort to entrap him.

The love was deep, the hatred was keen, and he was betrayed by Dian Wei, and Cao Cao's hatred for him inexplicably shifted to Chen Deng.

Chen Deng didn't know that Cao Cao encountered this kind of change, his mentality changed greatly, and he became a ghost under Cao's knife in a nonsense manner.

Tao Qian wore the seal of the state pastor and brought a few relatives to Yanzhou.

It's a pity that not long after leaving Xuzhou, Cao Cao secretly sent someone to catch up and do it cleanly.

Cao Cao got Xuzhou, he was in a good mood, and he wanted to look at Shu for a while, and he wanted to invade the territory of other princes.

In the past few months, Cao Cao stepped up the training of the army, imitated Liu Xun's practice, implemented the tuntian, issued the order of "meritocracy", and selected talents in an eclectic manner.

Sima Yi of Hanoi came to take refuge, and Xun Yu, a native of Yingyin in Yingchuan, also came to rely on Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's power gradually increased.

At this time, his subordinates reported that Liu Bei had established the abolished emperor Liu Wei as the emperor, known as the Emperor of Han Xing, and Liu Bei was the regent of the emperor's uncle.

Now, Liu Wei's envoy is in Xuzhou, and he came to seal Cao Cao as the assassin of Xuzhou.

"Liu Bei, a big-eared thief, escaped quietly last time, but it turned out that he had kidnapped Liu Wei in private, afraid that I would fight with him and cause me to be defeated by Liu Xun."

"This time, I still want to admit that he is the puppet emperor, he has a good dream", Cao Cao couldn't hold back the resentment in his heart, and only felt a nameless flame rising straight up.

"The lord is angry, we might as well temporarily recognize Liu Wei as Emperor Xing of the Han Dynasty, so that we can use this to compete with Liu Xun, and second, Liu Bei is bound to become the person Liu Xun wants to destroy the most. The sandpiper and the clam are fighting, and we just happen to be profitable," Sima Yi advised.

Xun Yu also said: "Sima Zhongda's words are reasonable, please think twice." ”

Cao Cao knew that Sima Yi and Xun Yu were reasonable, weighed the pros and cons, and decided to welcome Liu Bei's envoy and accept the title of Xuzhou Mu.

The princes of the world, there are really not a few people who have the same idea as Cao Cao.

Following Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Yuan Shao of Jizhou, Sun Ce of Jiangdong, Zhang Xiu of Wancheng and Ma Teng of Xiliang, they all recognized Emperor Xing of the Han Dynasty.

In this way, the princes of the world were divided into two factions.

One faction recognized Emperor Han Xian in the hands of Liu Xun as the co-lord of the world, and the other faction recognized Emperor Han Xing in the hands of Liu Bei.

The two factions were roughly equal in strength, and the situation was further chaotic.

Liu Xun was the first person to know that Liu Bei had kidnapped Liu Bian, and he regretted it a little in his heart, and with a thought of kindness, he spared Liu Bian's life, which resulted in chaos in the world.

Pang Tong, Jia Xu and others were convened to discuss, and everyone expressed their opinions on Liu Bei's establishment of a separate imperial court.

Pang Tong's attitude towards this matter is different and extremely optimistic.

"Liu Bei supports Liu Wei as the emperor, on the surface, it seems that the Son of Heaven is coerced to order the princes, and the scenery is extremely beautiful, but in fact it is just the surface scenery."

"Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others support Liu Wei, but they just want to compete with us, in fact, these people have their own ghosts, and this kind of superficial alliance is completely vulnerable."

"It's Cao Cao, who can't be underestimated, now that he has newly acquired Xuzhou, his power will grow stronger and stronger in the future, and it will definitely pose a threat to us over time."

"Right now, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are embarrassed, and now it's not time to attack them, so the lord might as well adopt a strategy of distant and close attack, divide and disintegrate them, and break them down."

"What a long-distance friend and close attack, Brother Shiyuan, you should tell me, who should be friends and who should attack?" Liu Xun asked with interest.

"Far away like Yuan Shao, Kong Rong, Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Yuan, Yangzhou Assassin Liu Miao and others, since they can't figure them out for the time being, we have to find a way to entrap them."

"If you are close to Wancheng Zhang Xiu, Jingzhou Liu Biao, and Xiliang Ma Teng, you will find a way to destroy them", Pang Tong said.

"It makes sense, Yuan Shao currently has two states, let's first unite with him and let him and Cao Cao and others contain each other", Jia Xu interjected.

"It seems that Brother Wenhe has a clever plan", as soon as Liu Xun saw Jia Xu's expression, he knew that he must have an idea.

"I heard that Emperor Xian's sister, Princess Yangping, has long reached the age of marriage, but she is struggling to find a suitable family."

"Brother Wen He means to marry her to Yuan Shao? Yuan Shao is also too old, is it possible to let Princess Yangping be a concubine? Liu Xun guessed.

"Yuan Shao is too old, but his three sons are said to have not married a wife, and they are married as princesses.

"As long as Yuan Shao's son marries the princess, he can only turn his face with Liu Bei", Jia Xu said with a smile.

"It's just that in this way, we have formed a strong reinforcement for the time being, but after a long time, it is difficult to ensure that there will be no future troubles," Liu Xun said worriedly.

"The lord's worries are not unreasonable, Emperor Xian married Yuan Shao as a strong reinforcement, and it is difficult to keep two hearts. However, Emperor Xian is always in our hands, even if he has any thoughts, what can he do", Pang Tong also agreed with Jia Xu's words.

"At present, Yuan Shao is plotting Youzhou and Merging Prefecture, and he can't take care of us for the time being. As long as the princess marries into the Yuan family, the lord recruits him in the name of the emperor, how dare he disobey? ”

"As for the future, as long as our strength is strong enough, what are we afraid of Yuan Shao. In this year, in the final analysis, whoever has the biggest fist will have the big truth", Jia Xu said proudly.

"A good fist is a big truth", Liu Xunhao said with a dry spirit, "According to Wen and his brother's words, the most powerful in the world is still us after all." ”
