Chapter 139: Passing through the North Sea
"Pan Feng greets the lord!"
Just after Wei Tao helped Zhang Liao up, there was another general behind Zhang Liao who stepped forward to bow to Wei Tao, this person was the former general under Han Fu, Pan Feng.
"General Pan Feng, please get up, hurry up."
Regarding Zhang Liao's arrival, Wei Tao still knew that since he wanted to rescue Xuzhou, he naturally had to help quickly, and he couldn't be too abrasive, otherwise it was better not to help.
Therefore, he ordered Zhang Liao to lead the troops to the junction of Qingzhou and Jizhou to wait.
But what surprised Wei Tao was Pan Feng, but he didn't expect Pan Feng to take refuge in him.
In fact, Wei Tao still has one more thing to say, when Han Fu gave up the position of Jizhou Mu to Yuan Shao, Pan Feng tried to persuade Han Fu.
But Han Fu didn't listen, which disappointed Pan Feng very much, and Pan Feng just took refuge in others.
And Zhang Liao originally saved Pan Feng, and he rescued Pan Feng twice, since he wanted to take refuge in others, Pan Feng naturally chose to join Zhang Liao's command.
And it's not all.
Pan Feng is also the first general under Han Fu, and he still has a lot of prestige in the Jizhou army, and he didn't just come alone, but also brought a group of elite people, so that the strength of Zhou Yu and others could be quickly enhanced, and it was under the pressure of the Black Mountain Army and Yuan Shao that Changshan was protected.
This time when he went to Xuzhou, not only Zhang Liao came to reinforce the troops, but Pan Feng also followed, and the two brought a total of 4,000 troops, and their strength was not weak.
The relationship between Makita Kai and Tao Qian in Qingzhou Prefecture is also good, but Qingzhou's strength is not strong, although he wants to help. But he was afraid of Cao Cao's strength. So although ready to send troops. But in fact, it was a long time to leave.
Now if Wei Tao crosses the border, Tian Kai will naturally not allow it, and still sends a batch of grain and grass, which is at least enough to be used for half a month.
"General, although the matter is urgent now, Cao Cao has been atrocity all the way, and it takes a long time, why don't we invite another army?"
It made Wei Tao a little unexpected. When Wei Tao entered Qingzhou and was about to go all the way south to Xuzhou, Mi Zhu said so again.
"Oh? I don't know who it is? ”
Wei Tao frowned slightly, he was already unwilling, this Mi Zhu questioned it so many times, which already made Wei Tao feel a little dissatisfied in his heart.
Isn't this to underestimate yourself?
"Don't be suspicious, general, I say that this person is a famous man in the world. If he can get the help of this person, he must be able to persuade Cao Cao not to commit violence again. ”
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Wei Tao was a little puzzled, these days Wei Tao has been trying his best to recall the original history.
Although the original history is no longer countable. At least this time, Mi Zhu obviously didn't mean to invite Liu Bei into Xuzhou, and even Wei Tao had already quietly asked. In Mi Zhu's impression, Liu Bei and the three of them are: Aren't they young generals under Gongsun Boju's account?
But there are still some experiences that can be learned, if Wei Tao remembers correctly, the reason why Cao Cao retreated in history was because Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou, and the foundation of Yanzhou was about to fall, and Cao Cao had to retreat.
In other words, if he could, Cao Cao swore to take Xuzhou.
Now that Lu Buxin has retreated from Bingzhou, and then he has gone to another person, it is not very likely that he will come to attack Yanzhou.
Therefore, Wei Tao is also preparing to meet Cao Cao first this time, and then retreat with words.
In other words, in modern parlance: a big fist is a reason.
"I don't know who Mr. Zizhong is talking about?"
But Wei Tao still gave Mi Zhu a face.
"I don't know if General Lu Dao knows about Beihai Kongwen? This is the great sage of the world, if he is persuaded by his fame, then Cao Cao will retreat! ”
Mi Zhu's words were full of admiration.
"With the high righteousness of Kong Beihai, if you hear Cao Cao's atrocities, you will definitely go forward. Don't hide it from the general, inviting Kong Beihai is also Zhu's original intention. ”
I have to say that Mi Zhu does have a bit of a gentleman's style, and he is not afraid of Wei Tao's anger, so he just said this.
Kong Rong's reputation is naturally extremely large, and after Confucius, he is a generation of Confucianism, and he is famous all over the world.
However, at this time, Wei Tao was indeed not annoyed, but nodded and said.
"It's okay, Kong Beihai used to discuss Dong Zhuo with me, and it can be regarded as some friendship, but today I can see it."
Although it was still necessary to make a long detour to Beihai, Wei Tao did not need to make a large army advance, but only led a team of men and horses to Beihai at a speed.
When I arrived in Beihai, after passing the ceremony, I naturally saw Kong Rong, and after hearing what Mi Zhu said, I was immediately furious!
"Cao Mengde dared to be like this! In the past, the coalition forces fought against Dong, and it can be seen that he is a rare hero, but I can't imagine that it is like this, so heroic! ”
Although Kong Rong didn't see anything to do when he was crusading against Dong Zhuo at that time, he was one of the few princes who went all the way not for personal gain, but for the Han Dynasty.
However, Kong Rong is a little upright, and the strength of his own subordinates is not good, maybe Mi Zhu has great hopes, but Wei Tao does not mean this.
Wei Tao was willing to come, but he thought that the future general Tai Shi Ci of Eastern Wu seemed to have spent some time under Kong Rong, and wanted to see if there was a chance to meet and subdue Tai Shi Ci.
"Zizhong is rest assured, I will immediately order troops to Xuzhou, and I must stop Cao Cao's atrocities!"
"More Mr. Wenju!"
Mi Zhu was overjoyed, and immediately gave Kong Rong a big gift.
"Mr. Wenju, if you talk about governing the government and appeasing the people, Mr. Wenju will naturally do it. If it is a march to fight, I am afraid that it is not Mr. Wenju's director, and Mr. Wenju should still find a good general to lead him. ”
At this time, Wei Tao finally spoke, and to Wei Tao's surprise, Kong Rong thought for a while and then said.
"If my subordinate doesn't have a talent like a general, how about leaving it to the general to command?"
Hearing this, Wei Tao couldn't smile bitterly, although the more soldiers, the more strength increases, but this must also be the elite soldiers trained on weekdays, Kong Rong Chongwen, the soldiers under him are not trained much, where can Wei Tao covet that little soldier?
"Could it be that with the size of the North Sea, there is no one or two who can fight well? If there is, with the prestige of Kong Beihai, how can there be any reason not to stand up? ”
"This ......"
After hesitating for a while, Kong Rong finally thought of something.
"In this way, it seems that there is indeed a person, whose surname is Taishi, with a single name and a mercy, who is quite brave, if he is made a general, he may be perhaps."
Kong Rong's tone obviously didn't care much about Tai Shi Ci, but when Wei Tao was unwilling to lead his troops, he decided to recruit Tai Shi Ci in the end.
Kong Rong's generals are all unfinished, and it will take a lot of time to go out, so after agreeing with Kong Rong to send troops, Wei Tao and Mi Zhu left together, and then converged Wei Tao's soldiers to Xuzhou.
But what Wei Tao didn't expect was that as soon as he entered the boundary of Xuzhou, he heard bad news
"Soldiers surround Picheng?"
As soon as Wei Tao arrived in Xuzhou, he was surprised when he heard such a message.
"Could it be that Xuzhou has already been taken by Cao Cao?"
Xiapi is the capital of Xuzhou, where Tao Qianzhi is located, and when he goes down, the whole of Xuzhou will fall into the hands of Cao Cao.
Mi Zhu was even more shocked, you must know that the Mi family in Xuzhou is very powerful, and the benefits are also great, if Cao Cao really takes Xuzhou, then where will the Mi family go?
More importantly, Mi Zhu's family members are all in Xiapi City, if it is based on Cao Cao's practice before, then the fate of Mi Zhu's family can be imagined.
But fortunately, after Wei Tao asked about the exact news, he shook his head slightly and said.
"That's not it, it's just that Meng De fought all the way to Xiapi City, I'm afraid he wants to break Xiapi City first, take Tao Taishou to avenge his father, and then take all parts of Xuzhou to take Tao Gongzu's foundation."
"Xiapi is in danger, Zhu also asks the general to move quickly."
Although it was just like this, thinking that Xiapi was in danger, Mi Zhu couldn't hold it back, and immediately bowed to Wei Tao and said.
"Good!"
Wei Tao nodded, it is naturally impossible to march slowly like this, and it is not for the sake of wasting his efforts to take this trip by himself, he immediately gave the order.
"Pan Feng, you lead three thousand troops to escort the baggage, and the rest of the people abandon all the complicated things, travel lightly, and quickly rush to Xiapi City!"
"No!"
Wei Tao gave an order, and countless voices responded, and Wei Tao led 1,500 elites to speed up.
With such a light and simple formation, the speed of the march was indeed much faster, and it only took a day's effort, that is, until the city of Xiapi, but at this time, people were sleepy and horses were tired, but they could not fight again.
And at this time, among the Cao army that originally surrounded the city of Xuzhou, an army immediately came out.
"I am Xiahou Yuanrang! Which way are you waiting? ”
But Wei Tao didn't make a banner at this time, even Cao Jun, who was familiar with him, didn't distinguish it for a while.
Of course, the reason why Xiahoudun was so polite was that although Cao Cao raised troops to avenge his father, he slaughtered the people of Xuzhou to sacrifice Cao Song.
But Cao Cao still maintained a bit of sanity and didn't want to form mortal enemies with other princes, so he deliberately ordered all the generals under his tent to salute first and then soldiers for the soldiers who came to help.
If you can convince the other party and make the other party retreat without a fight, that is the best.
"It turned out that Yuan Rang was here, I don't know where Meng De is? In the past, there was a saying in Luoyang, but Meng De didn't remember? ”
Wei Tao slowly stepped forward, looked at Xiahoudun and asked.
"Now that I have come before, where is Mengde? This is a matter between me and Meng De, and Yuan Rang still invites Meng De here. ”
With Xiahoudun's eyesight, he could naturally see that Wei Tao was sleepy and tired at this time, although his own army was damaged due to the siege, but if he really fought, he should be able to win the battle.
But Wei Tao kept saying that he wanted to see Cao Cao, and Xiahoudun was not easy to decide on his own for a while, not to mention that in Xiahoudun's opinion, if there was no one or two days of rest, the fatigue of Wei Tao's army would be difficult to get rid of, so after a little hesitation, he just gave up.
"Please wait a minute, the general has already ordered someone to inform the lord."
(Thank God?) Ye No Wukong's reward, and thank you for the support of other book friends, thank you! (To be continued......)
