Yangzhou gains and losses, loses and regains, and comes and goes between the Liang Dynasty and the Wei Dynasty.

With Wei Tao's order, although Lu Xun also resisted, in fact, he never resisted excessively, and gave up half of Yangzhou very lightly.

And after that, Lu Xun immediately moved troops in a hurry, constantly pestering Cao Jun, although both sides did not suffer much damage, but it was obvious that it was not so easy for Cao Jun to get out for a while.

On the other hand, although Wei Tao had the intention to probe the movement of Xuchang, it had no great effect, and the news that came back only said that it was calm, and it was impossible to see that there was any movement, which made people confused.

"No matter what Cao Cao's idea is, pass my order and immediately move troops to Xuchang, I don't believe that when I send troops, then Cao Cao still hasn't moved."

After never being moved, Wei Tao finally made up his mind and directly ordered it.

"Pass my order, 5,000 cavalry will immediately go with me, and at the same time, another 30,000 troops will be transferred to Xuchang immediately, and see if Cao Cao can still maintain peace!"

Because he had planned for a long time, with Wei Tao's order, the soldiers under his command acted extremely quickly, and soon the troops left Jizhou and came directly.

This time the vanguard general is Wang Ping, now Wei Tao is more important to some young generals, this Wang Ping is one of them, he came to vote after Wei Tao unified Shuzhong, through the previous life, Wei Tao also personally tested this Wang Ping, in terms of talent alone, Wang Ping is enough to lead an army alone.

At the same time, Wei Tao joined the army for Ma Tan and assisted Wang Ping.

Although Ma Jian has not experienced too many wars before, it is very likely that he is still the one in history who has a low eye and a low master, but as long as he is not the main commander. Wei Tao can be sure that there will not be too much of a problem.

After all, all these years. Wei Tao has already seen this Ma Tan several times and proposed to build yì. There are many suitable for the theme, and Ma Jian is originally suitable for the person who assists.

I don't know if Cao Cao had an order earlier, or if the two people equipped by Wei Tao really complemented each other, the two of them were unstoppable along the way, leading three thousand soldiers, and a company broke several counties in a row, and the momentum along the way was like a bamboo.

At first, there was resistance from the county order, but often after one or two waves of offensives. These county orders also surrendered, and later, those counties simply surrendered without the slightest resistance.

With Wang Ping's march, Wei Tao also led the troops and followed, for those counties that surrendered, Wei Tao just naturally could not continue to keep them in the local area, and they were all transferred to the counties and counties of other states. Leave it behind.

Although Wei Tao led the cavalry along the way, the journey was not fast. Not to mention that Cao Cao can be in Xuchang, even Cao Chunyuan is also known in Yangzhou.

But what surprised Wei Tao even more was that Xuchang still didn't see any movement, and even Cao Chun didn't see the slightest intention of returning to the army.

"Gong Jin, do you know why?"

At this time, Wei Tao could only smile bitterly, compared to before, the current situation is even more weird, anyway, Wei Tao can't see what Cao Cao is doing.

Unless they are preparing to surrender, there is absolutely no reason to do so.

"Majesty, I don't know ...... yet"

Not only did Wei Tao and his subordinates not know, but even Cao Cao's own people did not understand, there were already many people in Cao Chun's army who went to see Cao Chun and asked Cao Chun to return to the army immediately.

But unfortunately, all they got in the end was a wry smile from Cao Chun and an unchanging answer.

"Zhongkang, generals, I, Cao Chun, am a member of the Cao clan, and I am more worried about the safety of my majesty than you, but the lord has already said something to me before leaving, and I must not take action until I receive his exact order, especially if I return to the army in Xuchang, even if the Wei Tao soldiers are in the city, without the order of His Majesty, it is absolutely impossible for me to order the return to the army."

This time, there were indeed a lot of generals who came with the army, but only Cao Chun was the only one who could really mobilize the army, and without Cao Chun's order, it was impossible for anyone to really lead the troops back to Xuchang.

And with Cao Chun's trust in Cao Cao, whether it is a strategist like Cheng Yu or a military general like Xu Chu, Cao Chun should never be, so in the face of such a strange situation, Wei Tao even had a hint of difficult to understand.

"Since Cao Cao didn't respond, then I went to Xuchang City to ask him well!"

Always didn't understand Cao Cao's plan, Wei Tao immediately ordered it.

"Order the whole army to act immediately, trap Xuchang, and then immediately go to call the battle to see if Cao Cao will be in peace!"

"No!"

In the face of such a situation, even advisors such as Zhou Yu and Jia Xu have no reason to dissuade them.

With Wei Tao's order, Wang Ping, the pioneer who was originally slowly occupying various counties and counties, immediately turned around and directly approached Xuchang.

Wang Ping led not many soldiers, but Wang Ping was also a bold man, after the soldiers forced Xuchang, immediately under the strategy of that Ma Tan, Xuchang was provoked from all directions several times, wanting to let Cao Hong out of the city to fight.

But Cao Hong himself has gone through countless battles, and Cao Cao has already given orders, so naturally it is impossible to fight at will, so Cao Hong simply ignored Wang Ping's provocation.

Under such circumstances, Wang Ping could not do it, so he could only settle the camp first, and then wait for Wei Tao's arrival.

After Wei Tao arrived, Wang Ping naturally reported everything to Wei Tao.

In the face of such a situation, although Wei Tao still doesn't know what Cao Cao's plan is, it is also a thing, and now, I am afraid it is up to him to come forward.

The next day, after a day of recuperation, Wei Tao directly led the troops to the city of Xuchang.

However, this time Wei Tao did not provoke immediately, but carefully observed Xuchang City, and after seeing it, Wei Tao couldn't help but be stunned in his heart.

"Xuchang City has thick walls, even if there are siege weapons, it is difficult for 100,000 people to seize it, not to mention our army now? I'm afraid that although only Cao Hong is defending the city, it is enough to resist our army, so it seems that it is not easy to break the city committee! ”

At this time, seeing that Xuchang was well defended, Wei Tao even felt that even if Cao Cao really relied on Xuchang to delay himself here, and then ordered the army to come back, then it was not an unusual thing.

"陛xià......"

Zhou Yu also stepped forward slightly at this time, and then said to Wei Tao.

"Now that we have arrived at the city of Xuchang, then for what Cao Cao wants, the lord might as well let him go to the city directly, and face His Majesty in person, even if Cao Cao has any plans, it should be time to show up!"

Hearing this, Wei Tao nodded slightly, although he didn't know if Cao Cao had any plans, Wei Tao would not say that he had the intention of retreating when he saw this Xuchang.

At that moment, Wei Tao's shorthand stepped forward, and he shouted directly at the city.

"I, Wei Tao, am here, where is Meng De? I'm already here, and since you're bringing me here, why don't you come out and see me? ”

With Wei Tao's big drink, Cao Cao really appeared on the city, and when he saw Wei Tao coming, he really smiled.

"Sure enough, even if this is a sea of swords and fires, you won't hesitate at all, it will really come, aren't you afraid that I'm plotting?"

"The Central Plains will be peaceful, and I also have five thousand iron cavalry, Meng De, you can't beat me, as long as Meng De is willing to go to the throne, I can guarantee Meng De that no one will be able to trouble Meng De from now on."

said so, but Wei Tao understood that Cao Cao would not surrender after not surrendering before, and soon his expression was certain, and he said with a straight face.

"I will take Xuchang, the vanguard of 35,000 people, and then prepare for 40,000 troops may come to help at any time, even if you transfer the soldiers back in time, it may not be able to win quickly. And the Wei Dynasty abolished the Han Dynasty not long ago, and it was when the people were uneasy, and it was even more difficult to deal with it, and the outcome had already been decided! ”

Wei Tao's words were conclusive, his eyes were right, and his words were full of confidence.

But it's a pity that what Wei Tao said had no effect on Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's face still had a faint smile, as if he was in control.

Seeing this, Wei Tao couldn't help frowning slightly, and couldn't help but say so.

"Dare to ask Meng De, but what's wrong? Unless Brother Meng De can immediately conjure up an army of millions, I am afraid that the result can only be broken by me, I don't know if what I said is true? ”

Wei Tao is not an expression of unconfidence, in fact, Wei Tao has already done an investigation, and there is indeed no sign of Cao Jun around.

As for Xuchang City, although it has been banned inside and outside during this period of time, it does not mean that there is no news.

After all, Wei Tao has the potential to unify the world, so naturally someone has a family to find a way back for themselves, in this case, it is really not too difficult for Wei Tao to know what is going on in the city.

The people in Xuchang City also don't have any soldiers hiding and pretending, and it is impossible for Cao Cao to say that he has casually conjured up a million Tibetan soldiers.

"Huh...... Indeed, there are only 10,000 soldiers in Xuchang City, all of whom are led by Zilian, and I also entrust the guards and protection to Zilian. However, the protection in this Xuchang city is modeled on Chang'an, Luoyang built, can resist ten times the enemy, even if there are only 10,000 people to defend the city, but there must be 100,000 people can not be taken. As for the grain and grass and the various things to defend the city, the city is well prepared and can last for several years. What do you think? ”

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Wei Tao frowned slightly, Cao Cao's meaning was to put on a posture to let himself attack, and at the same time, Wei Tao also understood the meaning of Cao Cao's words.

"Mengde, that's what you mean, as long as I can't attack for a long time, then I can only retreat naturally, but your army can go south with the whole army?" (To be continued......)
