Kong Beihai is hospitable.

When Tang Xiu and Kong Rong were eating and drinking, they were recruiting Guan Hai, a general.

With Tang Xiu's current prestige and status, it is not too simple to recruit Guan Hai, a "captive".

Guan Hai naturally became a general under Tang Xiu, although he was only a miscellaneous general for the time being, he was also a general!

Tang Xiu ordered Guan Hai to select 20,000 young men from the large number of Yellow Turban troops who surrendered to form an army.

In this way, he has an additional 20,000 troops, although it is only a new army, but after training, it can be used.

And the equipment, money and food of the 20,000 troops, Tang Xiu was not polite to Kong Rong, this Kong Beihai was the Taishou of Beihai, but he was very rich.

Otherwise, Guan Hai, as a Yellow Turban general, would not have come to borrow grain from Kong Rong, and he didn't borrow much, only 10,000 stone of grain.

It's just that Guan Hai didn't expect that although Kong Rong was a local tyrant, his temper was very stubborn, and as Hanchen, he was unwilling to give up a grain of grain to the thieves.

Now Guan Hai has become a general under Tang Xiu, and he is also a general of the imperial court, his position has changed, and Kong Rong does not have this mustard.

Tang Xiu personally spoke, and Kong Rong immediately presented a large amount of money and armaments, which gave the atmosphere of the 20,000 new troops a new look, and they were all young and middle-aged, and they could be regarded as having been on the battlefield, and after changing the equipment, they already had the prototype of a strong army.

However, it was said that Tang Xiu won a great victory in Beihai and added 20,000 troops.

Cao Cao, another prince, was not idle, and swung his butcher's knife at Tao Qian, another loyal minister of the imperial court.

However, it is said that Cao Cao defeated the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, recruited more than 300,000 soldiers, more than 100,000 men and women, and selected the elite, called the "Qingzhou soldiers", with a total of more than 200,000 soldiers and horses.

There are also civil ministers and military generals, and Cao Cao can be described as a strong soldier.

But the only drawback is the lack of food!

With so many soldiers and horses and a population recruited, it is not so easy to feed.

coincided with a major event, and Cao Cao targeted the wealthy Xuzhou.

It turned out that Cao Cao Wen had a minister, Wu had a fierce general, and Weizhen Shandong, so he sent Taishan Taishou to respond to Shao and go to Yaoya County to pick up his father Cao Song.

Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, lived in seclusion in Yaoya County, and after receiving the letter, he and his younger brother Cao De, and a family of more than 40 people, with more than 100 followers and more than 100 cars, went to Yanzhou, Shandong.

A group of people passed through Xuzhou, and Xuzhou Taishou Tao Qian learned that Cao Cao's father had passed, so he personally greeted him and set up a banquet to entertain him for two days.

After all, Tao Qian and Cao Cao were both among the princes who crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and they could be regarded as friends. And Cao Cao's Weizhen Shandong is very powerful, and Tao Qian has more intentions to be friendly with Cao Cao.

Two days later, Cao Song left, Tao Qian personally sent him out of the city, and dismantled a lieutenant Zhang Min under his command, and led 500 soldiers and horses to escort him.

How do you know that Zhang Min was also a member of the Yellow Turban Yu Party, and later returned to Tao Qian, and now he saw that the Cao family had countless heavy vehicles, so he had a bad heart again.

On the way at night.

Zhang Min led his subordinates with 500 soldiers and horses, killed Cao Song's family, took the baggage and finances, and fled to Huainan to fall into the grass.

When the news reached Yanzhou, Cao Cao fell to the ground crying and shouted: "Tao Qian killed my father in the army, this revenge is not shared!" I am now raising an army and sweeping Xuzhou, Fang Xue and I hate it! ”

Cao Cao is such a character, he naturally knows that this is not Tao Qian's fault.

But Xuzhou was rich, and the more than 200,000 Qingzhou soldiers under his command and the more than one million people in Zhao'an were short of food, so they naturally swung the butcher's knife to Xuzhou.

Not only can you get food, but you can also occupy Xuzhou as a territory!

Cao Cao personally led an army of more than 200,000 people, and his military strength was far superior to that of Tao Qian, who was too protective of Xuzhou.

More than 200,000 Qingzhou soldiers, everywhere they went, killed people and excavated graves.

Tao Qian was in Xuzhou, when he heard that Cao Cao raised an army to take revenge and kill the people, he looked up to the sky and cried: "I have been convicted by heaven, causing the people of Xuzhou to suffer this great disaster!" ”

Tao Qian didn't want to be restrained, and hurriedly gathered his subordinates to discuss.

Tao Qian cried: "Cao's army is too strong to be the enemy, I should bind myself to the camp and let it be cut to save the lives of the people of Xuzhou." ”

Xuzhou Wenwu naturally couldn't watch the lord die like this, and a person said at the moment: "The government has been in Xuzhou for a long time, and the people are grateful." Although there are many Cao soldiers today, they have not been able to break our city immediately. The government and the people insist on not coming out, although they are not talented, they are willing to implement small strategies and teach Cao ** to have no place to be buried! ”

Tao Qian and Wen Wu were both shocked and looked at the person who spoke.

It is a native of Qu County, Donghai, surnamed Mi, named Zhu, and Zizhong.

This man is a wealthy family, one of the few wealthy families in the world.

Because of the wealth of the family, helping the poor and pulling out the hardships, he was hired by Tao Qian as a driver.

Tao Qian hurriedly asked, "Will Zi Zhongji be released?" ”

Mi Zhu said with a smile: "I am willing to go to Beihai County in person and ask Kong Rong to raise troops to rescue, reinforcements will come soon, and Cao Cao will retreat!" ”

Tao Qian and his subordinate Wen Wu both frowned.

Kong Rong Kong Beihai was also one of the princes who crusaded against Dong Zhuo at the beginning. It's just that at that time, the alliance of the princes was broken by Tang Xiu, and Kong Rong was also a lost soldier.

With the soldiers and horses under Kong Rong's command, how could they withstand Cao Cao's more than 200,000 Qingzhou soldiers?

Ran Mizhu was born in a wealthy family, and his family's business was all over the place, and the most prosperous Luoyang City was the top priority.

Therefore, Mi Zhu knows the news from all over the world, especially the news of Luoyang City, and can be regarded as one of the largest "intelligence networks" in the world.

Since Tang Xiu led his troops to rescue Beihai, Mi Zhu had already gotten the news.

The reason why he offered his plan to ask for help from Beihai was not to ask Kong Rong for help, the real target for help was the first general in the world, Tang Xiu, the general of the dynasty!

Mi Zhu told the truth, and Tao Qian was also overjoyed when he heard the name of "Tang Xiu".

Tang Xiu, the great general and the world's number one general, was one of the princes of all walks of life in the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass, but he saw it with his own eyes, and he experienced it personally, and he was defeated by it, and his soldiers were defeated.

Tao Qian immediately repaired two letters, one for Kong Rong and the other for Tang Xiu, and asked who dared to go to Beihai for help.

Mi Zhu volunteered to go to Beihai with letters.

Tang Xiu also met Tao Qian's messenger, and Kong Rong both received Tao Qian's letter asking for help.

He also couldn't cry or laugh, all the princes in the world, those who are loyal to the court are Kong Rong and Tao Qian.

As a result, Kong Rong and Tao Qian were very unlucky! Ask him for help one by one!

Could it be that the princes of the loyal court have nothing good to eat?

It seems that Liu Yu, a prince loyal to the imperial court, has died!

Liu Yu was also one of the princes who fought against Dong Zhuo at the beginning, and he was also known as one of the "Three Lius of the Clan" with Liu Yan of Yizhou and Liu Biao of Jingzhou.

It's a pity that this Youzhou Liu Yu, in the face of Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Ge and other powerful princes, did not keep his own territory, and was slaughtered by Gongsun Zhan!

On the contrary, it is Yizhou Liu Yan, one of the "Three Lius of the Clan", who is ambitious and controls the rich Sichuan and Shu. It's a pity that he died of illness, and his son Liu Zhang was weak and lived alone.
