Chapter 143: Fighting to Greet Cao

"Please also ask Mr. Zizhong to bring a message to Tao Gongzu: The soldiers under my Wei Tao command will not sacrifice here for others in vain, if you want to repel the Cao army, don't play those disgusting tricks."

At this time, Wei Tao spoke very bluntly, this was a decision made by Wei Tao after discussing with Xun You, and at this time it was going to have a showdown with Tao Qian.

"Xuzhou is not my territory after all, and I have no intention of occupying it, but Cao Mengde may not be like this."

Wei Tao's words were very easy to understand, but after Mi Zhu's face changed, he lowered his head and pondered, and after a while, Mi Zhu got up and saluted Wei Tao.

"I already know the general's intentions, and I should report to the lord."

Tao Qian can lead one party to become a prince, naturally he is not a person with wine bags and rice bags, after hearing Mi Zhu's report, it is also very easy to understand what Wei Tao means.

If this is the case again, then once Wei Tao leads people away, no matter how much Tian Kai and Kong Rong have intentions, it is impossible to save Xuzhou.

So after thinking about it for a while, Tao Qian personally led people to come to please.

"These days I have wronged the general, I dare not hide the general, Qian really can't bear to use the sword anymore, whether it is my Xuzhou general or Cao Jun is my Han people, why do you fight like this?"

Tao Qian still looked compassionate and generous, but his tone was already loose.

"Now Cao's army is strong, only by combining the strength of the various armies can it win, the general's prestige has long been heard, and now the general can focus on the overall situation and lead the armies to welcome Cao Cao."

"Tao envoy Jun is relieved. But there is Wei. It is definitely necessary to let the Cao army retreat quickly! ”

Now that its purpose has been achieved. Wei Tao didn't mind saying some superficial things like Tao Qian, but Wei Tao couldn't be as shameless as Tao Qian after all, so he just said so.

But at this time, Tao Qian had already pulled a general beside him to Wei Tao and said to Wei Tao.

"This is General Cao Bao, who is my Xuzhou general, commanding my Xuzhou soldiers and horses, and now how about letting him assist General Wei to welcome Cao Cao?"

"It turned out to be General Cao, fortunately! Fortunately! ”

Wei Tao has already understood the situation in Xuzhou in the past few days, although Xuzhou is under Tao Qian's control. But Xuzhou itself has three big families that Tao Qian also has to pay attention to, the Mi family, the Cao family and the Chen family.

Among them, the Mi family is in charge of the finances of Xuzhou, and his family itself is also a big businessman, and the family is rich, while the Chen family is a family of poetry and books, and has a great relationship with various officials in Xuzhou, and its connections are very wide, and the Cao family is in control of the Xuzhou army, and the strength is also very strong.

"Don't dare, General Wei's name for his bravery is famous all over the world. It was the honor of the leopard to be able to fight Cao Cao with the general. ”

Cao Bao always had a sour taste when he said this. However, in comparison, although he Cao Bao commanded the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou, his status was still too far behind Wei Tao.

And seeing that he is still Wei Tao's deputy, Cao Bao is naturally even more unwilling.

"Huh...... When the time comes, I will ask General Cao to help me a lot. ”

At this time, although Wei Tao heard that something was wrong, he didn't mind much.

Although Tao Qian also made a promise, Wei Tao also found that in fact, the reality may not be very good.

First of all, Tian Kai's Qingzhou Army is basically finished, and at most some elite soldiers can be selected, and the Northern Navy is much better, which should be the credit of Tai Shi Ci, but it is a pity that Kong Rong himself does not attach importance to military affairs, so the quality of the Northern Navy is not very good, but with these names, Wei Tao directly made Tai Shi Ci his deputy general.

Next is the Xuzhou army, or the defeated army of Xuzhou.

Although Wei Tao only walked around the military camp of the Xuzhou army, he found that the Xuzhou army almost had no morale, and a kind of pessimism and despair permeated the military camp.

"General Cao, why is this?"

Wei Tao looked at such Xuzhou soldiers and felt a little depressed, such a defeated soldier is not as good as a newly recruited soldier.

"General, this can't be done, that Cao Mengde is extremely fierce, and after successive defeats, he has no heart to fight."

Cao Bao said hesitantly.

Hearing Cao Bao say this, Wei Tao suddenly understood three points in his heart, I am afraid that Tao Qian is generals have all handed over the soldiers whose morale has been exhausted, and the real elite is still retained.

I really don't know if Xuzhou is in danger in this way.

"The dignified Xuzhou pastor is all about some little tricks."

Although he secretly sneered in his heart, Wei Tao did not show it on his face, and after inspecting the barracks, he ordered someone to gather people.

With a sweep of his eyes, Wei Tao saw that everyone was looking dejected, and if he couldn't revive his morale, I'm afraid these people wouldn't have to fight Cao Jun, and when he heard Cao Jun's name, he was afraid that he would have to run clean.

"Are there no boys in Xuzhou?"

Wei Tao suddenly drank coldly!

Rao is these soldiers, one by one, they are dead pigs, and they are not afraid of boiling water, and when they heard this, they couldn't help but get angry, and dozens of uncles, captains and other soldiers immediately stepped forward.

"I'm a man, why are you insulting me so much!"

"There are still people who stand up, yes, if not, I thought there were really no men in Xuzhou!"

Wei Tao was not angry but happy when he saw this, and then suddenly echoed.

"Now that the Cao army is pressing in and slaughtering the people of Xuzhou, is there no one among your wives and children, no relatives and friends? One by one, you are all aware of the turtles in the city, and let Cao Jun run rampant, is this what a man did? It's not as good as a woman, it's just a turtle bastard! ”

Hearing Wei Tao's scolding, all the soldiers had anger on their faces, but there was a bit of shame mixed in the anger.

Obviously, Wei Tao's words went to their hearts.

This time, even the few people who just stood up to refute it bowed their heads and remained silent, after all, their actions were cowards no matter how you look at them?

"Are there any boys in Xuzhou? Answer me! ”

At this time, Wei Tao drank it suddenly!

"Yes!"

The dozens of people who stood up just now were originally stimulated by Wei Tao, and when they heard Wei Tao shouting again, they couldn't help but shout.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! ”

One person should be. Others followed. Especially those dozens of people also have prestige in the Xuzhou army. Many people followed.

One after another, the sound shook the heavens and the earth, and in the midst of the shouts, all the soldiers and soldiers responded with it.

"In this case, outside the city is the camp of Cao Jun, do you dare to break with me, kill Cao Jun for my father and fellow villagers, and avenge my relatives and friends?"

Wei Tao saw that the morale was available. I smiled secretly in my heart, and my voice was even more drunk!

"Revenge! Avenge! Avenge! ”

I have to say that after Wei Tao's repeated shouts, everyone's morale was mobilized, and the murderous shouts made Cao Bao on the side secretly frightened.

When did the soldiers of Xuzhou have such strong confidence and such heroic morale?

"Good! The whole army obeys the order, I give you an hour to rest, and after an hour, go with me on the march, and those who do not want to go away. It's just that in the future, Mo Yan will be a man! ”

Taking advantage of the availability of morale, Wei Tao would not be the slightest polite, and immediately gave the order.

"The rest of the men. Come with me! This battle will be won! ”

"This battle will be won! This battle will be won! This battle will be won! ”

As soon as the morale was boosted, many other things were naturally easy to do, and Wei Tao immediately ordered people to reorganize the army and reorganize the entire Xuzhou soldiers.

Although there is not much time, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang are both famous generals, not only to complete the rectification of the Xuzhou Army, but also to reorganize the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army and the Northern Navy into the army.

Soon, with the addition of Wei Tao's own army, 20,000 soldiers were soon reorganized.

Of course, the 20,000 soldiers themselves are not well trained, so they are naturally not as good as the real elite army, but the 20,000 soldiers are high morale and majestic.

Even if it was Tao Qian, when he saw this army, he couldn't believe that this was the Xuzhou army, when would the Xuzhou army be like this?

"Open the gates!"

With Wei Tao's order, the gate of Xiapi City slowly opened, and Wei Tao immediately led everyone out of the city.

"Knock knock ......"

The whole drum sounded, and the majestic sound came straight into the Cao army camp.

"Huh...... Could it be that Tian Kai, Kong Rong and others are still not convinced, and they want to fight with me again? ”

Cao Cao was in the tent discussing affairs with many civil and military personnel, and when he heard this drum, he immediately smiled.

"If I don't want to lose too much here, why wait until this time, if I really don't know the current affairs, then it's no wonder!"

"What the lord said is very true, don't say that you want the lord to fight, and we can break the enemy by any person."

Most of the generals in the tent are Cao Cao's henchmen, and they don't have too many scruples at this time.

But this is just the general, and those strategists are frowning lightly one by one.

"My lord, I'm afraid something is wrong, so it's better to send someone to investigate quickly."

As soon as Guo Jia opened his mouth, Cao Cao also understood that he was afraid that things would not be so simple, so he immediately ordered someone to go out to investigate.

This investigation naturally made it clear that this time it was Wei Tao who personally led the army.

As for Wei Tao's ability, some of Cao Jun's generals know and some don't know, but everyone understands that compared to Tian Kai and Kong Rong, Wei Tao is really a big enemy.

"Ziyu? Are you sure he leads an army of 10,000 people? ”

After receiving the reward, Cao Cao was immediately startled and stood up in disbelief.

"How did he get the Xuzhou army when he first came? Moreover, the soldiers of Xuzhou have all broken their courage, and now their morale is also inspired, and they really deserve to be Wei Ziyu! ”

I have to say that Cao Cao is Cao Cao, and he can automatically deduce so many things just by relying on the return of the scout, but it is Cao Cao, even if it is so, there is a pride to compete with him.

"Lord, now Wei Tao must be the most confident to arouse the Xuzhou soldiers. As the old saying goes: one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion. Now the lord can wait for this anger to dissipate, but with Wei Ziyu's ability, he must also know this, and he will retreat before this, so that although it is not as strong as this time, it can ensure morale after that. ”

At this moment, Guo Jia opened his mouth again, paused slightly when he said this, and then looked at Cao Cao before continuing.

"But if you can win the battle at this time, then you can defeat the Xuzhou army's last little spirit, spirit, and qi, and within a month, Xiapi will surrender!"

After hearing Guo Jia's words, many people gasped, and the people in the tent were not stupid, they could all hear it, Guo Jia clearly agreed with the second approach.

"Ha Lu Ha...... What Feng Xiao said is extremely true. ”

I don't want Cao Cao to laugh at this time, others can only hear what Guo Jia means, but Cao Cao can understand what Guo Jia didn't say.

"Attacking Xuzhou for a long time, the cost of money and grain is a lot, a few days ago if the text is a letter with me, said that the rear grain and grass has gradually insufficient, if you can not quickly capture Xiapi, then it is to occupy Xiaopei first, and then slowly figure it in the future, I am hesitant how to choose. Now that Wei Ziyu has given me this opportunity, how can I not take it? Generals, come with me! ”

Cao Cao's prestige is extremely high, not to mention that when Cao Cao said this, everyone understood Guo Jia's deep meaning, and naturally no one objected at the moment, and followed Cao Cao out of the tent.

Cao Cao is also a good leader in the army, but for a while, he will welcome the army out of the camp.

"Knock knock ......"

The sound of war drums became more and more urgent, and the beating made people's hearts boil with blood.

Seeing Cao Cao leading people out, the soldiers behind Wei Tao subconsciously shrank back, but they were afraid of Cao Jun's majesty, but when they saw Wei Tao riding a horse and standing in front of the formation, many people's courage was suddenly stronger, and they couldn't help but straighten their chests again.

There are even many family members and friends who were indeed killed by Cao Jun's soldiers, and they even paid tribute back with fierce eyes.

It will be the courage of the soldiers, not that the Xuzhou army is cowardly, but that the Xuzhou generals are not successful.

"Ha Lu Ha...... Ziyu really has to lead the troops, but Tian Kai and Kong Rong are not my opponents, can you be confident that you can win? ”

This time, it was Cao Cao who spoke first, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said.

"I don't need to say much about my friendship with Ziyu, if Ziyu you retreat at this time, I will open the way by myself, and I will never stop it, if not, I can only fight with Ziyu!"

"Cao thief! Don't talk nonsense! You killed the people of Xuzhou, and you have a lot of blood debts! Today you will pay with blood! ”

Before Wei Tao could answer, Cao Bao next to him stepped forward and shouted.

"Soldiers, if you break the Xiapi for the Cao thief, then I am afraid that there will be no chickens and dogs left in the city, and all the families are in the city, and we would rather die than let the Cao thief enter the city!"

Although Cao Bao is under Wei Tao's command, he is not Wei Tao's subordinate after all, even if he doesn't listen to Wei Tao's orders, Wei Tao will not award him

And Cao Bao stood up at this time naturally to pick up cheap, in Cao Bao's opinion, Wei Tao's set is not difficult to learn, it is just to stimulate the blood of Xuzhou soldiers with hatred.

Sure enough, hearing Cao Bao say this, the sergeants suddenly turned red-eyed and looked ready to fight desperately. (To be continued......)
