Patriarchs, look at me, I look at you, all of them are silent. Such a big thing, and this Cao Bao realized that he hadn't told them at all, so he came to a surprise attack, which really caught them off guard, and they didn't know how to choose.

To be honest, for these big families, as long as they can keep themselves, then it will be the same for whoever this Xuzhou falls into, there is not much difference to them, what they should have done, and what they are still doing now.

But the reason why they hesitated a little was because the object they surrendered to was Cao Cao. For this Cao Cao, to be honest, all of them don't have a good feeling. When Xuzhou slaughtered the city for three days, the losses of several of them were also heavy, so they even hated Cao Cao.

Now that they have taken refuge in Cao Cao and surrendered to an enemy, not to mention whether they will be put in small shoes by him Cao Cao, it is this sense of grievance that makes them a little reluctant in their hearts.

"Cao Bao, you traitor can't die well, and Chen Deng'er, in vain my father trusts you so much, and now you are actually in the same boat with this Cao Bao traitor." The potter's eyes were full of anger as he glared at the two of them, looking eager to eat them.

Cao Bao and Chen Deng completely ignored the potter, and the current potter was worse than a lost dog, and he had completely lost his value.

As for his condemnation, it is even more child's play, this is originally a world where people eat people, people do not destroy heaven and earth for themselves, they are people of big families, and the first place is always their own family. The next one is him, the lord.

Now you potters don't have the ability to keep Xuzhou and their family, naturally. They won't be working hard for a waste like you, and it's the best choice for a good bird to choose a tree.

"I don't know what everyone thinks!" Seeing that none of these patriarchs spoke, Cao Bao looked around at everyone present and asked in a cold voice.

As soon as Cao Bao's words fell, the generals opposite them also snorted coldly, the blades in their hands were tightly clenched, and they looked at them with murderous intent on their faces. The threat is palpable. For a while, the whole room was quiet, the pins could be heard, and the atmosphere was very weird.

He, Cao Bao, just want them to know? Who is in charge in Xuzhou now? If they don't agree. What will happen to you?

"I agree with General Cao's opinion, like that Cao Cao surrendered!" The next moment, there was a patriarch who couldn't stand this oppressive atmosphere, and was the first to stand up and choose to compromise.

"I agree with ...... too"

"And my ......"

There are two if there is one. With the first compromise. Then naturally there will be a second, a third......

It didn't take long for everyone to choose to compromise, after all, at this time, it is the most important thing to save their own lives first, and as for the future, then let's talk about it later.

Hearing the answers of these individuals, Cao Bao's originally tense face suddenly bloomed into a smile, although the smile was not very good-looking. But it doesn't matter anymore. As long as these people are willing to compromise, that's enough.

"It's over......" Immediately, the potter's whole body softened, and the whole person no longer seemed to have half a point of spirit to speak of. It was almost no different from a living dead.

In fact, it is no wonder that the potter still had a glimmer of hope before, hoping that these patriarchs would not agree, but now this situation has made his potter's last hope also be wiped out, for a person who has no hope, such a person is indeed not much different from the living dead.

"Good! Now that you have agreed, then we will open the gate of Xuzhou early tomorrow morning to welcome Caozhou Mu into the city! Cao Bao stood up and said loudly.

Youzhou, the General's Mansion.

"Say whatever you say, you say it again!" In the conference hall, Liu Yao looked at the said in front of him with a shocked face, and shouted loudly, without the slightest image at all.

Fu Zhu also smiled helplessly, and said again, "Lord, it's true, our spies in Xuzhou have sent news that just half a month ago, Cao Cao had already taken Xuzhou. ”

Suddenly, Liu Yao was completely messy, if he wanted to say that he would say the wrong thing once, it was still possible, but now that he was frustrated with such words and words, then there would be a fake and a ghost.

But what is the situation now, which has made Liu Yao a little depressed, then Cao Cao and Lu Bu have just taken Yangzhou for two months, and now they have taken Xuzhou down quietly.

This is not the most critical issue, the most critical thing is that he Liu Yao did not get any news at all, any news that Cao Cao wanted to attack Xuzhou, but now that he Cao Cao has indeed taken Xuzhou, this also makes him Liu Yao have a trace of doubt about the ability of the intelligence system under his command for the first time.

In fact, it's no wonder that he, Liu Yao, is like this, this Youzhou's intelligence system has always been the most advantageous weapon in his Liu Yao's eyes, and it has never failed. It's like a person's tried tricks suddenly failing, which will indeed make people feel a little confused and frightened.

"What the hell is going on? Why haven't we heard anything at all. Liu Yao asked with a frown.

Fu Zhu sorted out his thoughts for a while, and said slowly, "Lord, in fact, this is the case, since Cao Cao and Lu Bu defeated half of Yangzhou, Lu Bu only left Chen Gong and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to garrison Yangzhou, a month ago, he and Cao Cao went north with the remaining soldiers and horses. ”

"Originally, I thought that Cao Cao was going to Yanzhou, and Lu Bu was going to return to Yuzhou, but when the soldiers and horses of the two passed through Xuzhou, there was a sudden big change, and the potter was directly charged with colluding with Yuan Shu on the grounds that the potter should not respond to the court and sent troops to attack Yuan Shu, so he directly did it to Xuzhou."

Liu Yao nodded secretly, it turned out that this was the case, there was a surprise attack, no wonder even he Liu Yao didn't get the news here.

"But that's not right!" That's when it happened. Liu Yao seemed to suddenly remember something, and suddenly exclaimed, "You just said that Cao Cao and Lu Bu set off from Yangzhou a month ago, but they had already taken Xuzhou half a month ago?" Doesn't that mean that Cao Cao only took less than seven days to capture Xuzhou! ”

Liu Yao calculated the time, and found that there was a strange thing, from Yangzhou to Xuzhou, even if it was a rapid march, it would take at least seven days, so leave time for Cao Cao to attack Xuzhou. That's seven days at most.

Seven days to capture Xuzhou, even if the Xuzhou soldiers and horses are weak and scum, it will not be a month to resist it. In seven days, even if it was replaced by Liu Yao, it would definitely not be possible, and he really didn't know how Cao Cao did it.

When he heard this, he also smiled bitterly. He's a little depressed too. Helplessly explained, "In fact, it is not seven days, but two days, just two days, then Cao Cao took the entire Xuzhou." ”

"What! Two days! Liu Yao exclaimed: "Could it be that the potter directly opened the city and surrendered." ”

was able to take Xuzhou in two days, and Liu Yao couldn't think of any other possibilities besides this possibility. You must know that the city wall of Xuzhou is very tall, and it is not easy to take him down, and you want to storm it in two days. That's pure nonsense, and it's only internal disintegration. That's the most likely.

Fu Zhu nodded, then shook his head again, and explained in Liu Yao's somewhat puzzled gaze, "Surrender is surrender, but it's not that the potter who took the initiative to surrender." ”

Without waiting for Liu Yao to ask again, Fu Zhu continued, "After Cao Cao went to call for a battle that day, the two great families of Xuzhou that night, Cao Bao of the Cao family and Chen Deng of the Chen family, launched a civil strife in Xuzhou. ”

"Early the next morning, Cao Bao took the initiative to open the gate of Xuzhou and welcomed Cao Cao into the city, and Cao Cao took the entire Xuzhou without much effort!"

"Damn!" Liu Yao really wanted to scold his mother when he heard it, think about the territory under his hands, which one was not fought down with hard work, time and effort. And he Cao Cao is good, he didn't spend any strength, so he got such a treasure land in Xuzhou, this person is really angry compared to people.

"Then what's the situation in Xuzhou now!" Liu Yao hurriedly asked.

"After Cao Cao settled in Xuzhou, he did not commit any crime against all the people, and he left the life of the pottery merchant, with his support, coupled with the full support of those big families in Xuzhou, although he has not won the hearts of the people now, it is estimated that there will not be much turmoil." Said helplessly.

He also knew what it was. Although the people of Xuzhou can be regarded as hating him Cao Cao, but the fact is so realistic, now as long as he Cao Cao can bring them the life they want, then these people will naturally not and dare not oppose him Cao Cao.

Liu Yao also fell into deep thought when he heard this. Although he had never had much hope for the territory of Xuzhou, he knew that it would sooner or later fall into the hands of other princes, and the potter's skill was not enough to protect it.

But what he Liu Yao didn't expect was that this day came so quickly, which caught him Liu Yao off guard.

Now that the form of the Han Dynasty has become clearer, there is no doubt that the seven northern states have fallen into their pockets, and Liu Zhang, Yizhou, has already stated that the old man will not interfere and can be ruled out.

And his two most troublesome opponents now, one is the current hero Cao Cao, who now occupies Yanzhou, Xuzhou. There is also a natural Lu Bu, the world's first military general with the assistance of Chen Gong, who now occupies Yuzhou and half of Yangzhou.

The two of them were originally very difficult opponents, but now that they are united, they are bound to be even more difficult to deal with.

There are two other uncertain forces, one is naturally Sun Ce of Jiangdong, which he Liu Yao is very relieved of, with Guo Jia's ability, it is naturally no problem to deal with a small Sun Ce.

There is also a natural one is that Jingzhou Liu Biao. As far as the current situation is concerned, this Liu Biao of Jingzhou is undoubtedly a huge weight, whether he joins Lao Liu Yao's side or Lao Cao Cao's side, you will make that side's strength increase greatly, and then the form will be subtle.

Therefore, what Liu Yao hopes most now is that Guo Jia can find a way to persuade Liu Biao to take the initiative to obey him. In this way, his strength in this aspect can be greatly increased, and it will be more convenient to deal with Cao Cao and Lu Bu when the time comes.

The worst is like that Liu Zhang. agreed that the two didn't want to help, so they watched the show. Of course, if Liu Biao refuses, and invests in Lao Cao Cao's side, then he Liu Yao will also have some heads.

"By the way, Gonghe, where are they old now?" Liu Yao raised his head violently and asked a little anxiously.

When he heard this, his face changed. He also knew why he, Liu Yao, was so nervous all of a sudden.

Now in this situation, Cao Cao and Lu Bu occupy the old Yanzhou and Yuzhou. Yangzhou, Xuzhou, and if Guo Jia wants to come back from Jingzhou, then the best route is to pass through Nanyang from Jingzhou and return to Sili.

But now it's hard to keep it. I don't know if Cao Cao and Lu Bu will take this opportunity to sneak attack him Guo Jia.

You must know that the importance of this Guo Jia to him Liu Yao is self-evident. If you can kill him Guo Jia, then you can completely cut off his arm, with Cao Cao's mind, how can such a good thing be let go.

And with Liu Yao's current situation, even if he Guo Jia is really dead, then Hu may raise troops to attack him Cao Cao now, and Liu Yao's side is not ready at all. If you do it now, you will win when the time comes. That would also be a lose-lose situation, which was definitely not what Liu Yao wanted to see.

He Cao Cao only needs to be quick. If you don't leave a single living mouth, then you can blame these things on the bandits and the like when the time comes, then it's okay. Even if Liu Yao and even everyone in the world knew that it was definitely Cao Cao's doing, but because there was no evidence, he Liu Yao really might not be able to do anything.

And the most important thing is that now there are only 1,000 assault battalions around Guo Jia, and the guards are very weak, in case Cao Cao really wants to make a move, then Guo Jia will be in danger.

"The lord wants to send troops to pick up Fengxiao!" Seeing Liu Yao's anxious appearance, he couldn't help but ask.

Liu Yao nodded, and said without hesitation, "Exactly, let Ziyi bring the remaining nine thousand charging battalions to pick up Fengxiao, so that Ziyi should have no problem." ”

Fu Zhu shook his head and said resolutely, "My lord, this matter is not appropriate! ”

"Why is that?" Liu Yao asked with some dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, he didn't care, and hurriedly explained, "My lord, now in the form of the Han Dynasty, the whole body will be affected by a hair, if you rashly send troops to the territory of other princes, it will inevitably cause some trouble, and if something happens that is beyond our control, it will be bad." ”

Liu Yao was also stunned when he heard this. How could he not understand the meaning of frustration, but Guo Jia was really not at ease on his side. Not to mention that this Guo Jia is his best helper, just say that this kid is his brother-in-law, he will never allow him to have an accident, otherwise his sister will not have to be widowed, and if Liu Xin really gets old, Liu Yao will have a headache when he thinks about it.

"What about the public and the gods?"

"There's a way!" Frustrated with a roll of his eyes, he said with confidence.

Liu Yao was overjoyed when he heard it, "Gonghe, there is a way, you still talk nonsense!" ”

He smiled and said slowly, "Actually, it's simple, since we can't send troops to the territory of other princes, but we can send troops to our own territory." ”

Liu Yao was puzzled, and looked at the frustration suspiciously.

"The lord can completely Chen soldiers 200,000 at the junction of Nasi and Yuzhou and Yanzhou. There is no need to send any elite soldiers, as long as you send some Tuntian soldiers who are not strong in combat. ”

Liu Yao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he pointed to the frustration, "You mean ......?"

Before Liu Yao could finish speaking, Fu Zhu continued to answer, "That's right, what you want is just a shock." Cao Cao and Lu Bu have just experienced a big battle, and they are bound to be reluctant to continue fighting, so as long as we have 200,000 soldiers here, then Cao Cao and Lu Bu will definitely not dare to make the slightest move. And now that Si Li is employing people, these Tuntian soldiers are also just the right place to use, killing two birds with one stone. ”

"Good, good!" Liu Yao was overjoyed. Just like what he said in frustration, as long as this happens, he Cao Cao's side will definitely not dare to make any big moves, and as for Guo Jia's side, then there is no need to worry about him Cao Cao's tricks.

You must know that although there are few people on Guo Jia's side, there are at least 1,000 assault battalions, and Cao Cao wants to eat these 1,000 people, and there are no more than 20,000 troops, which is absolutely impossible, and it may not be able to be defeated, but if the assault battalion wants to escape, it is not something that those infantry can chase.

And with the deterrence of the 200,000 Tuntian soldiers, with Cao Cao's suspicious personality, he would never dare to act rashly before he figured out the details of these 200,000 people, let alone send tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to eat a small Guo Jia Lao, you must know that if these 200,000 people come to a surprise attack when he sends out his troops, then his Cao Cao's loss is not a little bit, and the gains outweigh the losses.

But it is precisely because of this that Guo Jia will naturally be able to return to Youzhou safely.

"Gonghe, since this is the case, this matter will be handed over to you to handle the old man, you must be careful!" Liu Yao commanded carefully, and at the same time, he also breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.

"No!" Frustrated and respectfully responded, seeing that there was nothing to do, one turned around and left the old hall, leaving Liu Yao alone looking at the south. (To be continued......)
