Tancheng Taoqian Mansion.

With the arrival of Cao Cao's army, Tao Qian's state palace became more and more deserted, and everyone was thinking about their way out, and this situation was even more serious after everyone in Xuzhou learned that Changtian personally led the army north, and now there are very few people on Tao Qian's seat. 、

Tao Qian hated this deeply, but he couldn't attack now, so he could only wait for Chang Cao and the others to withdraw from the army, and after sending Liu Bei away, he would slowly find these people to settle the score, and then he must let them know thoroughly that his Tao Qian's anger was not something that anyone could bear.

"The thief has arrived in Xuyi?" Tao Qian asked.

"Huifujun, that's exactly the case." Chen Deng sat in his place and nodded.

Tao Qian looked at Chen Deng's unchaotic appearance with satisfaction, and nodded secretly in his heart, sure enough, when it comes to a critical juncture, he still has to rely on the talents of the family, this kind of talent has the bearing, has the responsibility, and can face everything calmly, this is his Tao Qian's reliable help.

For example, Chen Deng, Chen Gui and his son, and Cao Hong and Cao Bao, these people have the same interests as him, and they are not willing to change people to rule Xuzhou at all, and they can take on great responsibilities!

And Qingliu celebrities like Zhao Yu and Xue Li, if they want wisdom but no wisdom, they want military strategy without military strategy, and they are useless.

As for the wallgrass, not to mention.

"Cao Hongzhi is well prepared, quite a military talent, Xuyi City is deep in the pond, the grain and grass are abundant, guarded by Cao Hong, enough to resist the thief for a few days, at that time, a certain joint Liu Bei, retreat Cao Cao, wave the army south, is the time of the fall of the long sky!" Tao Qian said sharply.

"Wenpin, it's almost time to Guangling, Cao Renye is already approaching Xue Li." Chen Deng calculated the time, and suddenly reminded him.

"I don't have time to take care of myself, how to save the two of them and kill Chang Cao, Tao will wait for his hatred!" Tao Qian waved his hand, and his tone was very resolute.

Chen Deng's face was expressionless, and he sneered in his heart: "Cao Hong, a flattering villain, still resists a long number of days? Hehe, it's true to look at the wind and descend. ”

Guangling County, Guangling County.

Changtian met the first historical celebrity Chen Lin here, and this time Guangling will also become him, the first Han territory to really conquer with strength, the first well-deserved territory, so Changtian appointed Wen Ping to capture this land, which is useful, because Wen Ping is the first historical figure to really take refuge in him.

Wen Ping, who received this task, was overjoyed and vowed to take Guangling for Changtian.

"Zhao Yu listened to the truth, Xuzhou Tao Qian, did a lot of evil, endless evil, Wen was ordered by the right general, to sweep away the evil, pacify Guangling, read that you are quite talented, quickly open the city to surrender, take refuge in my lord, and do not lose the position of the county guard! If you are stubborn and help the abuse, you will be in a different place and die with no place to hide! Wen Ping shouted at the head of Guangling City.

Zhao Yu stood at the head of the city, looking at Wen Ping's army, cowardly, but thinking of Chen Deng's words to him before leaving, he shouted again: "Hmph! Tao Gong is the emperor's order to order Xuzhou Mu, the right general of the Ru family, as an important minister of the Han Dynasty, does not know how to serve the country, but comes to attack the city and seize the village, embezzle the king's land, will not be spurned by others? I was ordered by the Son of Heaven to shepherd Guangling, how could I surrender to others! The eldest prince wants to accept Zhao, and wants to steal Han land and stand on his own? This is not the way of servants! The king quickly retreated from the army, not only in front of the eldest prince, but also made clear the gains and losses, and did not teach him to become the target of the public, so that he could not lose the reason for the courtiers! ”

"My lord was edicted by the first emperor to beg the thief, and it was ordered by heaven! Thou hast gone against the heavens, and thou hast taken upon thyself the dead ear! Wen Ping drank.

Zhao Yu no longer spoke, it is useless to reason, the main thing is to defend the city, fortunately, defending the city is not as important as fighting on the battlefield, personal force is not too important, and Changtian is not pressed by the army, he still has a chance.

"Siege!" With Wen Ping's order, his troops began to storm the county seat of Guangling.

At the same time, outside Xuyi City, Changtian's army has surrounded the entire Xuyi City, and this is also the only way to go, and he must take this place if he wants to go to Tancheng.

Changtian looked at Xuyi City, the city wall is not low, and the defense measures are relatively perfect, the defender of the city heard that it is named Cao Hong, he doesn't know who Cao Hong is, anyway, there are only two ways to this, either surrender or die, his army will never be blocked here.

"Who's going to persuade you to surrender?" Changtian asked.

"Go!" Sun Dali was the first to stand up.

"You can kill people, just persuade them to surrender." Changtian shook his head and said.

"If you don't surrender, it's just right, the last general will take advantage of the situation to attack the city and kill him without leaving a piece of armor." Sun Dali said without hesitation, obviously he had the idea of fighting, and even persuading him to surrender was perfunctory, preparing to attack the city directly and grab this first position.

Everyone laughed, they all understood Sun Dali's thoughts, Sun Dali saw through his mind, scratched his head, and laughed a few times.

"Lord, what kind of Cao Hong must be a stubborn person, if you attack the city directly, you will save trouble." Sun Dali said again.

"Humph! Don't you hear that attacking the heart is the top, and attacking the city is the evil? As a general, he doesn't practice the art of war, he only knows how to fight, and he will live for a long time? Changtian reprimanded.

Sun Dali was angry when he saw Changtian, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"My lord, the gates of the city are opened." Jia Xu said suddenly.

When everyone heard this, they saw that the gate of Xuyi was wide open, and a group of people walked out of it.

These people were all dressed in official uniforms, but all of them were not wearing weapons, and they were all outside Xuyi City, facing the position where Changtian was, bending down and bowing, with a gesture of surrender.

Sure enough, soon the messenger of the other party came, saying that he was going to surrender.

"Call that Cao Hong over." Long Heaven Road.

Soon Cao Hong, who was standing at the front, was brought to Changtian.

"Cao Hong, the criminal minister of Xuzhou, has seen the eldest prince." Cao Hong shook Changtian to the end, his face was serious, and his expression was pious.

"Oh? It is a great achievement for you to open the city and accept it, what sin is there? Chang Tian asked with a smile.

"Wen Changgong came with the mandate of heaven and Xingyishi, but failed to open the city to welcome three hundred miles, which is a big crime." Cao Hong said sincerely.

"Well, I heard that you are quite used by Tao Lao'er, why don't you resist and open the city to surrender?" Changtian was noncommittal to Cao Hong's words.

Cao Hong saw that the sycophants didn't seem to work, left a cold sweat on his forehead, and then replied: "Tao Qian does a lot of injustice, corrupts the Gangchang, is really an unforgivable person, Hong stoops to the thief, for nothing else, in fact, he did not protect the people of Li, and he kept himself, so as to wait for the Ming Lord to come to Er, the elder prince sealed the edict of the first emperor, eradicated the traitor and eliminated the evil, and the record is brilliant, who in the world does not know, Hong Pan Changgong, such as a long drought and hope for Ganlin, now the eldest prince is in person, and his heart is full of surprises, how can he be the enemy, if it is not for the Tao thief's henchmen, he has to be removed, Hong early led the Xuyi army and people, and greeted the public. ”

"Hahaha, it's an insightful, yes, be rewarded." Changtian laughed.

"What is within the bounds, why should there be a reward, but please be ordered to guard this city for the lord, and there will be no loss!" Cao Hong said loudly.

"You have great talents, such a small city, He Laoqing bothered, and he went north with me, and he had another important task." Changtian waved his hand.

"Thank you, my lord!" Cao Hong thanked him loudly.

"Dinggong, you and Yuan Jian will guard this city and receive the grain and grass in the past." Changtian then commanded.

"No!" Lu Dai and Liao Hua replied.

Soon Changtian's troops went north again, and they also brought this one named Cao Hong.

Cao Hong, whom Tao Qian trusted, directly surrendered to Changtian, and Zhao Yu, who didn't like it, chose to defend it.
