Chapter 141: Into Xiapi
"Into the city?"
Wei Tao frowned slightly and looked at Mi Zhu, now that the entire four gates of Xiapi have been surrounded by the Cao army, if you want to enter the city, you have to break through the siege of the Cao army, which is really not so easy.
"Zizhong, what we have come to now must be known in the city, and it needs to be so?"
"I also know that the generals and soldiers are virtuous, but the generals and soldiers are insufficient, and Cao Cao against a match, I am afraid that there are still more defeats and fewer victories, but Xiapi is different, although my Xuzhou soldiers have lost consecutive battles, but it is not that our army is inferior to Cao Cao, but that there is no one under Tao Gong! If there is a general to lead the army, will it still be inferior to Cao Cao? ”
I have to say that Mi Zhu himself is also a very capable person, but at this time, it is quite moving.
"If the general can enter Xiapi, I would like to protect the general in front of the lord to retreat Cao Cao, if he gets the Xuzhou soldiers, how can the general not win?"
Hearing this, Wei Tao's heart was also moved, and he turned to look at Xun You.
"Lord, I think Mi Zizhong's words are very reasonable, although the general led only a few thousand people, but it is not difficult to kill under the city of Xiapi, if you can enter Xiapi, you can borrow the soldiers of Xuzhou to act, it may not be impossible. And if you want to get into the next Pi, it's actually not difficult. ”
Hearing this, Wei Tao's heart moved slightly, should there be Zhou Yu and Xun Yu in this matter.
At the beginning, both of them suggested that they would just lead thousands of soldiers to come, and it was not impossible to win more with less, but it was extremely difficult for Cao Cao, but if there were more Xuzhou soldiers, this was not impossible.
Looking at Xun You's calm expression, Wei Tao thought that this was very possible.
"Cao Junbing's appearance is neat. If you force your way in, it will be difficult to do. I wonder what Mr. Lu Dao's good plan is? ”
Wei Tao nodded slightly. Then he looked at Xun You and asked, since Xun You said that it was not difficult, it was obvious that he had already made a decision.
"There is no good strategy, and even if it can be done, it is just a matter of attacking the West and the like. However, I thought that the lord did not need to be in a hurry, although the plan was good, but it could not always be used blindly. ”
Xun You shook his head slightly and said very seriously.
"This time, it is to let Cao Mengde give way to himself. In fact, as long as it takes some time, Tian Qingzhou. Kong Beihai is bound to come, even if it is Cao Cao's hero, it is impossible to surround Xiapi like this again, it will become a situation of two armies facing each other, and it is naturally not difficult to enter and exit Xiapi at that time, and only at that time is it possible for the lord to compete with Cao Mengde. ”
Hearing Xun You's words, Wei Tao also understood Xun You's plan for himself, as for Mi Zhu, although he was a little helpless, he also had nothing to do, so he could only keep his mouth shut.
In fact, this time, Kong Rong and the others came faster than they imagined.
First of all, Pan Feng arrived only on the morning of the second day and joined the two armies. Wei Tao already has the strength to protect himself, and Wei Tao immediately protects the gate with peace of mind. At the same time, Cao Cao was persuaded again and again.
It's a pity that Cao Cao didn't want to pay attention to it at all, but stepped up the siege.
But on the third day, Kong Rong led the troops to arrive, and not only Kong Rong, but even Tian Kai also led the Qingzhou soldiers to arrive.
Seeing that Tian Kai and Kong Rong had arrived successively, and the troops they brought were not weak, even Cao Cao did not dare to scatter his troops at will, so he immediately collected his troops.
"Why is that?"
Although Cao Cao's collection of troops made Wei Tao very happy, Wei Tao was also very strange why Kong Rong and Tian Kai came so quickly, as if Xun You had already calculated.
"Huh...... The lord didn't know that Tian Qingzhou had a good name and had a relationship with Tao Gongzu, so he had long wanted to come to the rescue, but he was afraid of Cao Mengde's power, so he hesitated and did not dare to send troops. ”
Wei Tao nodded, he naturally knew about this, but he heard Xun Yu say again.
"But first the lord arrived, and then Kong Beihai was accompanied, but Tian Kai was no longer afraid. The tripartite joint army, not to mention being able to suppress Cao Cao, but confronting it is not a problem, since it is no longer a problem to save his life, how can Tian Qingzhou not save Xuzhou quickly? ”
Xun You smiled, and replied without care.
And so it was!
There are such people, Wei Tao shook his head, I'm afraid that Xun Yu didn't mean to stop the detour to Beihai before, that's why it's this.
"Sir is really talented!"
Maybe when the two armies are fighting, they set up all kinds of plans, and they may not lose to top strategists like Xun You, but if they say that they are plans anytime and anywhere, they really can't compare to them.
But at the same time, a sense of joy floated from my heart, with the help of Xun You and others, why worry that what I thought in my heart could not be realized, and I would not watch it happen.
"General, since Tian Qingzhou and Kong Beihai are all here, they are stationed on both sides of Xiapi, thinking that they are horns, and then we will enter Xiapi again to see what Tao Gongzu wants."
Xun You was indeed conscientious, and when he heard what Xun You said, Wei Tao naturally would not refute it, and immediately nodded in agreement.
"Good!"
For Cao Cao, it is obvious that both Tian Kai and Kong Rong are indeed a little jealous, and after hearing Wei Tao's suggestion, they immediately followed it.
Then he and Wei Tao each led people straight into Xiapi.
The others Wei Tao didn't pay much attention, but a rather heroic young man beside Kong Rong caught Wei Tao's attention.
"Dare to ask this one, is Donglai Tai Shi Ci?"
Thinking of the possibility, Wei Tao deliberately took a step behind and asked the young general.
"The general has also heard of Taishi Ziyihu?"
Tai Shici looked at Wei Tao in surprise.
Although today's Wei Tao is only not famous compared to Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others, in fact, Wei Tao's successive actions have made his reputation widely spread, and many people have heard of Wei Tao's name.
So when he saw Wei Tao taking the initiative to greet him, even Tai Shi Ci couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart.
"I have heard Kong Beihai say that Donglai Taishi Ziyi is a person of great filial piety, and he has courage, and he has a hundred shots and hundreds of shots with a bow in one hand.
Wei Tao smiled slightly, and quietly boasted a few words of Tai Shi Ci.
Although Tai Shici is not the kind of person who likes to listen to any rhetoric, Wei Tao's identity is different after all.
And although Tai Shici is now recruited by Kong Rong, he is still an unofficial and unemployed person, and he can be so valued by Wei Tao, and the excitement in his heart can be imagined.
"The general has an overreputation, and it is a matter of course to serve his mother, and it is not a great filial piety. As for the bravery, how can it be compared with the general? ”
Tai Shici bowed to Wei Tao and replied slowly, neither humble nor arrogant.
Hearing Tai Shi Ci's answer, Wei Tao was even more pleased, this Tai Shi Ci really has the qualifications of a generation of famous generals!
Wei Tao and Tai Shi Ci have not talked for a long time, mainly because Tai Shi Ci is nominally Kong Rong's subordinate now, even if Kong Rong does not attach much importance to Tai Shi Ci, Wei Tao cannot be too forcibly wooed.
But fortunately, since Tai Shici has arrived, there are still a lot of opportunities left, and Wei Tao doesn't have to worry.
For Wei Tao and others to enter Xuzhou directly, Cao Cao did not send troops to intercept it, in fact, when the three-way coalition army arrived, Cao Cao also understood that it was impossible to stop it.
The next thing to do is to see how strong the two sides are.
Tao Qian, as the lord of Xuzhou, still knew that this time everyone was coming to help him, and he was leading people at the gate of Xiapi City early on, and when he saw everyone coming, Tao Qian came forward to greet him from afar, and before others could speak, Tao Qian bowed to everyone!
"Thank you for coming to the rescue! On behalf of the people of Xuzhou, I have thanked you for your righteousness! ”
Between the words, Tao Qian's old tears were full of tears, which made people feel sad at first sight, at first he still twitched in a low voice, and then he turned into a howling cry, and everyone who heard it was sad.
"Pity me, the people of Xuzhou innocently suffered this catastrophe, it is all the sin of Qian! If you can exchange humility for the people's peaceful residence, humility will also be what you want! ”
"Why should Gong Zu be like this! Why should it be! ”
Among the people, Tian Kai and Tao Qian had the best relationship, and when he saw Tao Qian like this, he couldn't help but step forward and gently caress his junior and persuade him.
"Since we are here, we must make that Cao Cao pay the price for the people of Xuzhou."
"Master Tao, don't worry, if that Cao Mengde disturbs Gangchang and slaughters my Han people, it is a great rebellion, I will definitely denounce it!"
Kong Rong was also very angry.
However, the words of the two did not make Tao Qian stop, but made him feel even more uncomfortable, crying hoarsely and grabbing the ground, looking very willing to pay for his life.
But for some reason, Wei Tao felt a burst of falsehood, as if this Tao Qian shouldn't be like this.
Think about it carefully, if this Tao Qian is really so righteous and awe-inspiring, can he still sit in Xuzhou like this, think about it, it is not so simple.
It wasn't until after some persuasion that Tao Qian restrained his crying face and invited people into Xiapi City.
Among them, Wei Tao has been watching coldly, and at most he has persuaded one or two sentences at will.
After everyone entered the Xiapi City Mansion, Wei Tao was even more disdainful, this Mansion City was extremely luxurious, and in comparison, this Tao Qian did not look like the kind of person who could sacrifice for others.
"Tao Gongzu is a famous and famous fisherman, and the lord doesn't have to worry about it."
Xun You also whispered in Wei Tao's ear, and his voice could only be heard by Wei Tao and him.
"However, looking at Tao Gongzu's posture, I am afraid that it will not be easy to hand over the military power, but it will only make people work for him, and the lord does not have to pay much attention to it. Let's watch the performance. ”
"Cao Cao's great rebellion is a traitor for the country, if he is not punished, it may be difficult to obey the mouth of the world, now that a few people have come to help, they should be eliminated!"
As soon as he sat down, Tao Qian couldn't wait to say.
"The survival of my Xuzhou is now handed over to all the virtuous, and I ask you to quickly take down that Cao Cao to the discipline of the country!"
"This self-righteousness is indispensable!"
For Tao Qian's words, both Tian Kai and Kong Rong were the same, but Wei Tao did not see his answer. (To be continued......)
