Cao Cao said angrily: "Tao Qian killed my family, this revenge will not be avenged, swear not to be a person, come to someone, and summon the generals of all departments to the Che Cavalry General's Mansion to discuss matters." He didn't take Xun Yu's words to heart.

Xun You sighed and left, Cao Cao's move was clearly not to put the Han Emperor in his eyes, in the past, no matter how big or small the matter, Cao Cao was only implemented after the Han Emperor, even if the courtier's affairs were urgent, in his opinion, he could not do it privately, otherwise it was different from the rebel minister, Cao Cao's impression in his heart dropped sharply.

Cheng Yu hurriedly followed Xun You's footsteps and persuaded softly: "Gongda, the lord is also angry for a while, so he will do such a misdeeds, his family is killed, and it will be like this to anyone." ”

Xun You said: "Zhongde, please persuade the lord more, the lives of millions of people in Xuzhou will be handed over to you, don't let the lord do anything against morality." ”

Cheng Yu sighed: "Although Gongda can rest assured, he is also under the command of the lord, don't I know, I expect that the lord is angry for a while, and when he calms down, I will dissuade him." ”

Cao Jun's command, most of them were members of the Cao family, and the generals gathered together asked for war after hearing the news that Cao Cao's family had been killed in Xuzhou.

However, in ten days, 100,000 Cao troops were stationed on the border of Xuzhou, waving flags, covering the sky and the sun, and Cao Cao, who was in the Chinese army, wore linen and filial piety, with a cold face.

Guo Da's surrender solved the troubles for Cao Cao, and the 60,000 Yellow Turban troops sent by him were also dispersed among the various departments.

Cao Cao wore filial piety clothes, wore linen and filial piety, and personally went out to fight, the sergeants and soldiers of the army were all like this, and the army was mourning, and the army was violently killing Xuzhou.

Cao Jun is very poor, the poor will not be able to open the pot, Yanzhou Qingzhou is a poor place, if the military affairs are quelled, wait for three or five years, it can be restored, 100,000 troops rushed to Xuzhou, but all the food and materials were fought.

"Lord, our army has little food, so we should focus on cavalry sneak attacks, and before Tao Qian reacts, we will attack the city and land to relieve the burden of grain and grass." Xi Zhicai said.

The faces of the strategists in the tent were not very good-looking, and Xun You was even more sick when the army was drawn.

Cao Cao said coldly: "What's so difficult about this matter, Xuzhou is rich and the people are solid, let the army plunder, and the danger of grain and grass will be naturally lifted." ”

Xi Zhicai's mouth opened slightly, and he didn't adapt to Cao Cao's words for a while, the world suffered from drought, and the people were displaced, only Yanzhou and Chang'an collected the displaced people and implemented them according to Cao Cao's ideas, and the prestige that had finally accumulated collapsed completely.

"When the army was marching out, I swore that all the people of Xuzhou would be buried for their families!" Cao Cao's tone was cold, and there was no room for negotiation.

Xi Zhicai looked at his nose and nose, stood aside with his hands tied, and stopped talking, feeling that Cao Cao's anger had not subsided.

"Lord, never!" Xun Yu ignored Xi Zhicai's eyes, and hurriedly persuaded, "The people are the foundation of the army, and the lord's move will definitely attract the same hatred of the Xuzhou soldiers to resist our army, there is not much food and grass, and it should be mainly surrendered!" ”

Cao Cao glared at Xun Yu and snorted coldly: "The military order is like a mountain, how can the order be changed overnight, you don't need to persuade again!" ”

Xun Yu was glanced at by Cao Cao, only to feel a chill all over his body, and he clearly felt the killing intent in Cao Cao's eyes.

Seeing Cao Cao leading an army of 100,000 to come, the county commander of Qi County opened the city gate and surrendered to Cao's army, in his opinion, no matter what, Cao Cao is the general of the Han Dynasty's chariot and cavalry, and the expedition is also ordered.

After leading the army into the city, Cao Cao still had a gloomy face and ordered: "Before I went out of the army, I said that my father died in Xuzhou, and he wanted the people and officials of Xuzhou to accompany him to the funeral. ”

After the general received this order, after a short period of consternation, there were many yellow turbans in Cao Cao's army, and they were even more familiar with doing such things, rape and plunder, and the entire Qi County was shrouded in shadows, and the soldiers were lost in this indulgent strategy, and killed the soldiers who were not from their own camp when they saw them.

Three days later, Cao Cao led an army of 100,000 to set off again, at this time Qi County has already become a ruin, broken walls, within a hundred miles, there are no village people, Cao's army is like a locust in transit, as far as the eye can see, desolate.

After Tao Qian learned the news, his face turned pale, it seems that Cao Cao is determined to destroy the entire territory of Xuzhou, unlike Cao Cao, there are very few wars in Xuzhou, and the soldiers lack training, how can they resist the 100,000 people of Cao's army.

"I hurt the people of Xuzhou!" Tao Qian cried in the state pastoral mansion regardless of the image.

Mi Zhu arched his hand and said: "My lord, after the Cao army broke through Qi County, it openly slaughtered the city, and there was no living mouth left in the city, and the county town behind it will resist stubbornly, and the Xuzhou army also has 80,000 people, why not be afraid of Cao Cao, the Cao army is brutal and unkind, and the counties along the way will definitely resist to the death." ”

Chen Deng echoed: "What Mi Beijia said is very true, Cao Cao's perverse behavior like this has caused the anger of the heavens and the resentment of the people, and he will not be able to win the hearts of the people, just send the general to the town to guard." ”

Tao Qian sighed: "I don't know about this matter, it's just that there has been no war in Xuzhou for a long time, and the army is not as good as Cao's army." ”

"My lord, I am willing to lead the men and horses to meet the Cao army!" Cao Bao said loudly.

Tao Qian said happily: "General Cao can have this heart, it is the blessing of the people of Xuzhou, but Cao Cao's fierce generals are like clouds, lest they cannot win, General Cao can go, but according to the city, do not let the Cao army advance, and when its grain and grass are exhausted, they will retreat." ”

Although Cao Bao was a little resentful in his heart, he still agreed on the surface.

Since Qi County, Cao Jun's soldiers wreaked havoc in Xuzhou in three ways, one route Cao Ren led 30,000 soldiers, the other way Xiahou Dun led 30,000 soldiers, Cao Cao personally led 40,000 troops, and killed in the direction of Pengcheng.

Under such a strategy, the resistance of Cao's army is getting bigger and bigger, the city in front of Cao Cao, the army has been attacking day and night for three days before the city is broken, the county order and all the soldiers fought bloody battles to death, and the rabbit is anxious and bites, not to mention the hot-blooded soldiers in the army.

Cao Cao slaughtered the city again despite the advice of his advisers, and under such stimulation, whenever he came to a city, the soldiers attacked with their lives, and their morale was high.

However, the wise generals and soldiers in the army, most of the yellow scarves were born in the common people, and the most unsightly thing was that the people were slaughtered, but Cao Cao's prestige in the army was too high, and the soldiers at the bottom dared to disobey, so they had to hide their thoughts.

The chaos in Xuzhou made Jia Rong a little big, and Cao Cao in Xuzhou definitely couldn't attack it, but after this incident, the land of Xuzhou must be a place where the people are not happy, and there is no one out of ten, such Xuzhou is not what Jia Rong wants to see, of course, Xuzhou still has the Mi family, and the Mi family has always been the largest supplier of grain and grass to the Xiliang Army, so naturally they can't sit idly by.

Jia Rong immediately wrote a book, one to Cao Cao, and the other to Mizhu in Xuzhou.

Cao Bao led the army and guarded Pengcheng.

Cao Cao's three-way army, everywhere he passed, corpses were everywhere, miserable, Xun Yu successively advised Cao Cao, but he couldn't, and Cao Cao secretly hated Xun Yu.

Cheng Yu was silent about everything in front of him, but judging from the slightly trembling hands of the two, their hearts were not calm.

Glancing at Jia Rong's letter, Cao Cao snorted coldly: "General? Hmph, as long as General Ben is willing, he, the great general, has also done it. ”

"My lord, no!" Cheng Yuqi, a drama talent, persuaded that Xiliangjun was not a soft persimmon like Tao Qian.

Cao Cao said: "You don't need to persuade, I don't know about this matter, then Jia Rong actually wrote to me not to slaughter the people of Xuzhou again, it is really embarrassing, this general is acting on orders, how can he listen to Jia Rong's orders." ”

Xun Yu's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he took the opportunity to persuade: "Lord, Jia Rong's words are not unreasonable, the people are the foundation of governing the country."

"That Tao Qian old thief killed my family, this revenge is not shared, I have sworn at the beginning of the army, I will let the people of Xuzhou accompany the burial." Cao Cao interrupted.

The three-way army burned and looted all the way, met under Pengcheng, learned of the actions of the Cao army, the people along the way fled, originally this kind of battle has nothing to do with the people, just imagine, there is no city of the people, it can only be an empty city, what is the use of Cao Cao to empty the city, Cao Bao led 30,000 troops to resist, all the way back to Pengcheng, when 30,000 people went, only more than 10,000 people came back.

Cao army 100,000, under the fierce resistance along the way, the loss of soldiers is enough 20,000 people, in order to quickly decide, everywhere, the army is day and night non-stop siege, a little rest, then set off again, if there is a cavalry in Xuzhou, enough to plague the Cao army can not be an inch, but the Central Plains has always lacked war horses, soldiers riding skills are not high, no princes have the courage to equip most of the cavalry.

The city of Pengcheng has thick walls, a wide moat, and many soldiers on the city, obviously fully prepared.

Tao Qian, supported by the soldiers, appeared tremblingly in the city, looking at the dense outside the city, and could not see the side of the Cao army at a glance, his heart was sad, Xuzhou, which had been governed for many years, was it lost because of the greed of his generals? Tao Qian is really unwilling to see the innocent people of Xuzhou suffer, even if he resists Cao Jun this time, what can he do?

"Let the envoy go to the Cao army camp tent, if the Cao army can spare the people of Xuzhou, I am willing to tie myself out of the city and surrender."

"Your Excellency!" The generals of Xuzhou heard the words and bowed together, they were hot-blooded men in the army, seeing the people displaced under the iron cavalry of the Cao army, their chests had already been filled with anger, and the moment the Cao army appeared under Pengcheng, they had already made the decision that the city was in the city.

"My lord, no, Cao Cao is brutal, he will definitely kill the people of Xuzhou, Xuzhou can't be without adults for a day." Chen Deng persuaded.

"Lord Chen's words are reasonable, Cao's army is only 80,000 people, and there are 50,000 troops in the city, and the art of war is said to be surrounded by ten, and Cao's army has actually committed a big taboo." Mi Zhu is also persuasive.

When the soldiers in the city heard Tao Qian's words, they were all moved, Lord Zhou Mu, who is willing to die for all the people, such an official is enough to deserve their lives, and the soldiers looked at Cao Jun again, with a little less fear and more fighting spirit.

Two more, ask for all kinds of support!
