On the second day of Qingming, the whole city of Xuchang learned a shocking news. That is, several major families in Xuchang rebelled against the imperial court and were all beheaded. This news, like a hurricane, swept through the entire Xuchang clan. After all, it's just too shocking.

However, for the civilians of Xuchang, although this matter is not a big deal, it is somewhat a good thing. You must know that when several major families have been in Xuchang for a long time, the people of Xuchang will naturally not have much good impression of them, after all, there are irreconcilable contradictions between the family and the people.

Some rejoiced and some were sad, when the people rejoiced. The rest of the Xuchang City and the rest of the families were in a state of sorrow. Due to the fact that several major families in Xuchang City were beheaded by raiders, these small families whose strength was not as good as them couldn't help but hang a steel knife on their necks that was extremely sharp and didn't know when it would fall. It is difficult for several great families to resist such a blade, let alone themselves.

Why did several major families riot, and the other families in Xuchang still know a little. Although they don't have the strength to participate in such an alliance, they are also from the same family, so they naturally still have channels to find out the news. The reason why several major families did this, in addition to being tempted by some people to make profits, was still forced by the previous business order and the current compulsory education. After all, as soon as the pro-business order and compulsory education came out, his family business and knowledge monopoly were immediately suppressed.

However, his temple is small, and although the career in the clan is not smooth, he can bear it to some extent. But the big families can't, because this is the city they live in, and they use all their experience to run Xuchang City, so they have no choice.

However, the combat effectiveness of the Cao army is really shocking, you must know that several major families are private soldiers, and the equipment can be said to be almost the same as that of the regular army. But that's the premise. The private soldiers of the major families were defeated very miserably, and there was not even a trace of room for maneuver.

Because of this battle, the clans that still had other ideas in their hearts became a lot more restrained, which also made the entire Xuchang a lot of stability and prosperity.

And just a few days after Du Chen quelled the Xuchang riots, Cao Cao led the hunting army and slowly returned to Xuchang City. Although Cao Cao was outside the city, none of the qiē in the city escaped his eyes. Every move in the city. Cao Cao will get the most detailed information as soon as possible.

Cao Cao seemed very satisfied with this matter. Du Chen not only solved the financial crisis he was plaguing with, but also cleared the cancer hidden in Xuchang City for himself. If it weren't for Du Chen, if the few great clans were allowed to develop, if one day they rebelled against themselves, it would be a very fatal blow, after all, the major families were inside Xuchang City. The tall walls of Xuchang City were of no use to them. After the civil strife in Xuchang was resolved, Cao Cao's heart to fight Lu was greatly aroused. Of course, there is also a point that is particularly important. Today's Xuzhou is in the midst of war. Yuan Shu of Huainan is planning to take Xuzhou, and is now in a stalemate with Lu Bu at the border of Xuzhou.

Yuan Shu stationed heavy troops at the border between the two sides, so that Lu Bu had to be careful. And this is the perfect time for him to crusade against Xuzhou, after all, such an opportunity is very rare, if you miss this village, there will be no such shop, how can this not make Cao Cao's psychological face itch.

And for this opportunity, the civil and military generals under Cao Cao also cherish it very much. Especially Xun Yu, he strongly advocated the crusade against Xuzhou at this time.

on this. Du Chen naturally did not raise objections. However, what gave Du Chen a headache was that he was ready to crusade against Xuzhou. Then I will definitely go with the army. After all, the stakes of this battle were important, and Cao Cao was also determined to strike a blow and bring Xuzhou under his rule. After all, Xuzhou is very important to itself.

In this regard, Du Chen could not do anything. Xuzhou must be taken because of its strategic significance. After taking Xuzhou, Cao Cao had the strength to win the north. Therefore, for the crusade against such an important Xuzhou, Du Chen must also do it himself, and strive to win the battle without worries.

As for the attack on Xuzhou, the most excited are the soldiers of the Golden Viper Army. After all, they have something to do again.

When the upper echelons of Xuchang were ready for battle. The huge warplanes of the entire Yanzhou began to operate. Because Cao's army was bound to win Xuzhou, Cao Cao mobilized all the troops that could be mobilized, the art of war in Xuzhou, with the purpose of pacifying the First World War.

After nearly a month of mobilization, the 80,000 Yanzhou army is ready to go. The grain and grass equipment has already been fully prepared, and all of them are ready to go.

In the face of this station, Cao Jun can be said to be full of fighting spirit. And Cao Cao is also high-spirited, and he is absolutely capable of solving Xuzhou in a battle.

When Yi Qiē was ready to recharge, Cao Cao gave the order to set off. The 80,000 troops were divided into two routes, one setting off from Taishan County, Yanzhou, to attack Dongguan County, Xuzhou. From north to south, attack Xuzhou. One route passed through Xiaopei, which was garrisoned by Liu Bei, from west to east, and directly attacked Pengcheng. Then the two armies waved their divisions and attacked Xuzhou City from both sides, so that Lu Bu had nothing to escape.

And Du Chen led an army of 40,000 and attacked Pengcheng directly from Xiaopei. This is definitely an uphill battle, after all, Pengcheng is an important place in Xuzhou. Lü Bu stationed heavy troops here. Moreover, in order to guard against Liu Bei, Lu Bu specially arranged Zhang Liao, the strongest under his command, in Pengcheng.

Therefore, the Battle of Pengcheng is definitely an unimportant battle in the entire Battle of Xuzhou. If Pengcheng is taken down, then it can be said that the crusade against Xuzhou will give him the upper hand. After all, Pengcheng is the east gate of Xuzhou, as long as this gate is pried open, the next thing will be flat.

But having said that, only Du Chen knew that this battle was not easy. Because no one else knows how difficult Zhang Liao is to deal with. You must know that Zhang Wenyuan, who is powerful and free, is not in vain, not only that, but the trapped camp under Gao Shun is now staying in Pengcheng. Although, Gao Shun, the trainer of the trapped camp, is not famous in history, but when it comes to the trapped camp, almost everyone knows about it, and no one knows it.

The strength of the trapped camp has been certified by historical books such as the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms. I remember that in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", there is such a sentence that is used to describe the trapped camp, that is: "There are more than 700 soldiers, numbered 1,000 people, the armor is refined and neat, and each attack is broken, which is called the trapped camp."

You must know that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the most realistic history book. Therefore, if it can leave such a fierce sentence for the trapping camp, it proves that the trapping camp under Gao Shun can achieve the strength described in the book. Therefore, this is definitely the most headache for Du Chen.

But fortunately, in order to be able to attack Shun lì, Cao Cao put all the soldiers of the Golden Viper Army under Du Chen's command.

With the four elites of the Green Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird and Xuanwu, Du Chen will definitely not be afraid of falling into the camp. After all, there are only 700 soldiers in the camp, and there are more than 9,000 of them. Moreover, in terms of combat strength, which battalion of the Golden Viper Force would definitely not be much worse than the trapped camp. Therefore, a single trapped camp will definitely not be able to stop his footsteps. Although Du Chen was full of confidence, he had to be cautious when attacking Peng Cheng.

But these are all later words, Du Chen in front of him has just set off, and even Xiao Pei is still some time away from him.

Marching is definitely a boring thing, although Du Chen has experienced a lot, but every time he feels abnormal headaches, he definitely hates marching. But even so, every time he went out, Du Chen still had no way to stop him. However, thousands of miles away in Pengcheng, Zhang Liao learned the news that Du Chen led his army to attack Pengcheng. At this moment, Zhang Liao's heart was not only afraid, but also a little excited. After all, Du Chen's prestige is huge, and if he can fight him, it can be regarded as an experience. Although Zhang Liao did not have the confidence to defeat Du Chen in his heart, it did not hinder his strong fighting spirit.

Of course, in addition to this, what made Zhang Liao feel even more surging was that he would be able to fight with the Golden Viper troops soon.

Zhang Liao had heard of the name of the Golden Viper Force for a long time, and Zhang Liao also wanted to fight with the famous Golden Viper Force. In the early years of the Battle of Xuchang, Zhang Liao had a relationship with the soldiers of the White Tiger Battalion of the Golden Viper Army. At that time, he felt the fierce ability of the soldiers of the White Tiger Battalion, if it wasn't for the urgency of the situation at that time, Zhang Liao would have wanted to fight with him at that time. And that meeting was also a big regret in Du Chen's life. (To be continued......)
