Chapter 292: Breakout
Cao Cao put down the letter and scolded: "The Tang thief actually scolded me for being no different from the Yellow Turban thief!" ”
Although he scolded Tang Xiu, he was also afraid of this general of the dynasty and the number one general in the world. At the beginning, Tang Xiu's divine power in the Tiger Prison Pass, Cao Cao remembered it vividly.
And the civil and military forces under Cao Cao also have different opinions.
The generals basically fought the main battle, needless to say, because the generals surnamed Cao such as Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, Cao Chun, Cao Zhen, and the generals surnamed Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Hui, Xiahou He, etc., are all considered members of the Cao family.
These generals all advocated avenging Cao Cao's father, not to mention the capture of the wealthy Xuzhou.
And the ministers and advisers disagreed.
For example, Xun Yu and Xun Yu are still concerned about the Han court, and the reason why they chose Cao Cao as the main prince is that Cao Cao has the possibility of supporting the Han Dynasty.
And the reason why they didn't choose Tang Xiu, the general of the dynasty, as the main prince to help the Han Sheji was because Tang Xiu's previous infamy was too strong, and the people of the world were criticized as thieves and traitors in small countries!
Tang Xiu has also just corrected his name, becoming a great hero and a great hero who endures humiliation and burdens, and has not long been a general.
This is the negative effect of the previous reputation, missing Xun Yu and Xun You, the two top civil servants and strategists, otherwise, with Tang Xiu's actions and fame today, it is really possible to recruit these two people, or let these two take the initiative to vote.
Xun Yu and Xun Yu were concerned about the Han Dynasty and thought it was inappropriate to start a war with Tang Xiu, a general of the court.
Otherwise, Cao Cao will be directly infamous as a "traitor"!
And Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and other strategists don't think so.
They have no loyalty or reverence for the Han court, believing that in today's troubled times, strength is respected. Naturally, it is mainly to capture Xuzhou, and as for the infamy such as "traitor", don't pay attention to it.
Wasn't Tang Xiu also a thief and traitor in a small country before? This has become a big hero and a big hero who endures humiliation in a blink of an eye?
As long as you have the strength to dominate the world, how can you care about this?
Moreover, Cao Cao can also in turn scold Tang Xiu as a "national thief" and control the government, which is equivalent to Dong Zhuo before.
The civil and military officers under his command had different opinions, and after Cao Cao pondered for a while, he suddenly scolded: "Who is Tang Xiu! Traitor! Traitors too! Dare to persuade me with books!? ”
As soon as these words came out, the Wenchen generals under his command all understood Cao Cao's meaning and continued to attack Xuzhou!
Xun Yu and Xun Yu frowned, and Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and other strategists and generals were all happy.
Cao Cao was even more ruthless, and in order to show his determination, he directly ordered to behead the envoy and ordered people to attack Xuzhou City with all his might.
Guo Jia took a step forward and admonished: "Tang Xiuyuan came to the rescue, salute first and then soldier, the lord should answer with good words to slow down his heart." Then they marched into the city and attacked it, and the city could be broken. ”
Cao Cao obeyed his words, so he spared the envoy's life, and after some hospitality, he repaired a book and brought it back to Tang Xiu.
Xuzhou City.
Tang Xiu looked at Cao Cao's letter and frowned slightly.
Although Cao Cao's letter was full of goodwill, there was no intention of retiring the army, how could Tang Xiu not understand Cao Cao's thoughts?
It seems that Cao Cao's ambition has been too inflated, and he has the intention of competing for the world, and he no longer has the original intention of serving the Han court and supporting the Han Dynasty.
However, the more than 200,000 Qingzhou soldiers outside the city are not easy to deal with.
Originally, the Xuzhou soldiers under Tao Qian's command were only twenty or thirty thousand, and they couldn't shrink.
Even with the more than 30,000 troops brought by Tang Xiu, there are only 50,000 or 60,000 troops, and in the face of the onslaught of more than 200,000 Qingzhou soldiers, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist.
Cao Cao's army was short of food, and it was imperative for Xuzhou to continue to occupy the wealthy city of Xuzhou.
It's going to be a bloody battle!
It's Tang Xiu, and he doesn't have a good idea in the face of this offensive battle.
The more than 200,000 Qingzhou soldiers outside the city just stood still and let him cut it, and I don't know when it will be finished, let alone a well-equipped army?
Even if Tang Xiu kills it, he will have to die of exhaustion in Cao Ying!
And since he raided the tent of the commander of the Xiliang army and beheaded Li Ru, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, his deeds as a great general have caused a sensation all over the world.
The princes of all walks of life also guarded against his "beheading operation", which blocked the water of the commander's tent and the operation of the camp.
Moreover, Tang Xiu led 20,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, and the deeds of the horse stepping on the joint camp were even more feared by the princes of all walks of life, and the military camp had already been arranged like an iron pass, beware of Tang Xiu's "cavalry assault" again. ”
Before, Tang Xiu led an army of 30,000 and directly entered Xuzhou City, which was also unexpected, and it was a rampage, not a joint venture.
Nowadays, the trick of "horse stepping joint venture" is not easy to use!
Even if there are 800 soldiers in the trapped camp, who can crisscross the Cao camp outside, I am afraid that they can only consume a small part of the Cao army's military strength, and finally the trapped camp will be folded in!
After Tang Xiu thought about it, he came up with a plan.
If you want Cao Cao to retreat, you can only make Cao Cao's backyard catch fire!
And Cao Cao's backyard is his old nest, Yanzhou, Shandong, and the starting point of Cao Cao's collection of 300,000 Qingzhou yellow scarves and a million people.
Tang Xiu ordered Tai Shici and Guan Hai to be the second and deputy generals, commanding the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou City to defend the city.
He also ordered Gao Shun to lead 800 soldiers in the camp, take care of them in the center, assist Tai Shici and Guan Hai to defend the city, and once the city gate is in an emergency, he will support which city gate first.
Tang Xiu himself directly opened the gate of Xuzhou City and rode his horse to kill it.
Cao Cao just replied to Tang Xiu, preparing to follow Guo Jia's strategy to "answer with good words and slow down his heart", and then raid the city at night.
Unexpectedly, after Tang Xiu read the letter, he actually killed him directly from Xuzhou City.
Tang Xiu had already taken out the Heavenly Sword, not the general's sword, and it was even more unexpected to suddenly kill from the city, and he directly entered the Cao army camp.
Naturally, he didn't want to pacify the Cao army with his own strength, more than 200,000 Qingzhou soldiers, and let him cut if he stood still, he had to be tired to death!
He's going to raid out!
Cao Ying was immediately in chaos!
The Ma army marched like a tide, coming towards Tang Xiuyong.
Tang Xiu also experienced the so-called "Zhao Zilong is guts" for the first time.
Surrounded by the tide of Cao Jun, and the history of Zhao Zilong, in the Cao army seven in and seven out, he in order to find the lost in the chaos of Mrs. Mi and Liu Bei's son Adou, in the millions of Cao army to kill, and finally protect the queen Liu Chan, not only successfully broke through, but also killed dozens of Cao Cao's generals.
Tang Xiu's combat power is naturally much better than Zhao Zilong.
Now he is holding the Heavenly Sword, and he is also killing the Quartet!
On the contrary, the generals of the Cao Army did not dare to step forward one by one, for fear of being killed in seconds!
Tang Xiu killed for a while and broke through from afar.
Cao Cao and his subordinates watched Tang Xiu leave alone from a distance, with complicated expressions.
Cao Cao sighed: "What a peerless god general! ”
