"If you harm someone's parents, you must take revenge, that's the truth......"

"If it's me, I'm going to attack Xuzhou! went to kill Tao Qian to avenge my father, but I didn't have Cao Gong's benevolence! ”

"Cao Gong is indeed benevolent and righteous, he has revenge, he has never angered our small people, and we will not be a shield for Tao Qian, and we can farm in Xiaopei with peace of mind!"

"That's right, I'll farm with peace of mind, this battle ...... It's not Cao Gong's crime! ”

"What about opening a warehouse to put grain...... He was afraid that we would starve to death because of the war...... Alas! I really hope that Tao Gong will not resist, and it will fall! ”

"Blame! If you don't descend, you have to resist stubbornly, it is our people who suffer, this state is only a year, just living a good life, you say he is going to do things that hurt the heavens and reason, see the eyes of wealth and open it! ”

"Tens of thousands of gold, more than 100 carts of property, that's really an eye for wealth, last year Que Xuan usurped the Han Dynasty and lost countless property, I'm afraid I plan to snatch it back."

"You shouldn't do anything like that if you don't have money! My reputation is ruined! I used to praise it, but now it seems that we don't know its true face! ”

"How can there be benevolence and righteousness in being an official!?"

"! I just think that this General Cao is benevolent and righteous! The revenge of killing our father, we also have to take care of the common people, and this mind is on us. ”

There are three notices, one is written in the text, that is, the crusade against Tao Qian, which states the crimes committed by Tao Qian against the Cao family.

The second is the strategy of opening warehouses and releasing grain, so that the displaced people can return to the city immediately without having to flee.

Third, the policy of internal affairs, whether it is the construction of water conservancy, the reclamation of wasteland, and the compilation of a list of military cantonments for next year, is to let the people see the future.

Give hope.

In this way, the people's will is settled.

In less than a day, they had resumed their daily work, and in Xiaopei City, the people who were living in peace as if they were normal and were ready to flee to Xiapi City for refuge also called friends and returned.

……

At this time.

Within Tan County.

Tao Qian had already received the text, and he was so angry that he almost fainted, and his heart was moved, as if he was pinched by an invisible big hand.

He knew that Cao Cao would come, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly and so simply!

"Ridiculous!"

After Tao Qian said this, his face turned pale and fell to the ground, he was already old, his body was not as good as day by day, and now his various great business strategies were almost all collapsed.

It's like there are threads in front of you, and you don't know which end to start with.

After a while, Tao Qian was helped to the bed and quickly woke up, but his mind was already a little broken, and his breath was much weaker.

The advisers in the hall are headed by Sun Qian and Chen Deng, the captain of the pawn farmer.

He was in front of the bed.

"Alas!"

Tao Qian looked at the dome in the room, his face was full of grief and indignation, and he could see two people standing outside the bed, and he didn't need to guess who it was.

So he sighed deeply and said, "I didn't kill Cao Cao's family, and I never robbed his family's chariots and horses. ”

"This is, the thief under his command, Zhang Min did it, Zhang Min was originally a thief soldier, and when he saw wealth, he would do such a hurtful thing, and he wanted to flee to the mountains and forests afterwards, and then come out again in a prosperous world!"

"But Cao Cao, using this as a text, is clearly plotting against me Xuzhou!! He also bought people's hearts and deceived the people...... If this continues, the people's hearts will surely disperse! This, this, how is it good ......"

Back then, Cao Cao was by no means such a benevolent person.

It must have been the counsellors under his command who admonished and admonished...... This time, I'm afraid it's really going to be over.

Tao Qian's slightly mournful tone, coupled with his old state and terminal illness, really moved the listener.

It's like the old man in the family of ordinary people, who confesses the aftermath before he dies, and they all say that people are dying, and their words are also good.

Again, I mean it from the bottom of my heart.

However, Chen Deng and Sun Qian secretly glanced at each other, but did not speak.

Soldiers and horses, they have no right to ask, only Tao Qian's henchman Cao Bao, who has the elite of the Danyang soldiers back then, is deployed by him.

As for whether it is true or not, of course, they must not ask.

There's no need to ask.

"Lord, take care of your body, now I just lost Xiaopei, and the army has not yet fought, so it won't be like this."

Sun Gan's face was pale, his hands were saluting, his beard shook lightly a few times, as if he was thinking about something, and after a pause, he said: "For today's plan, we should immediately send troops to Xiapi, hold Xiapi City, and use this as a barrier to wait for reinforcements." ”

"Yes," on the right, the young Confucian who was standing beside the bed nodded, bowed and said, "My lord, I should immediately ask for help for today's plan." ”

"Yuan Shao in the north, Yuan Shu in Yangzhou, and many generals of the royalist faction of the Tun army near Luoyang may be able to get reinforcements."

"Jizhou car ride Yuan Shao, Youzhou Gongsun Zhan, or you can give it a try."

Sun Qian bowed solemnly and said, "Below, I am willing to go to the north for the lord, please come to the rescue, it only takes ten days, maybe you can retreat." ”

Chen Deng glanced at Sun Gan, and immediately gave up his hand, and said: "Not only that, don't forget, the lord should not forget that the Cao army entered the city in a big way, although there is a letter, but it is not an edict to ask for thieves. ”

"They may be famous, but this time, Cao Cao is too big because of this, how can he have no trouble in Yanzhou? Cao Cao claimed that the 100,000-strong army attacked Xuzhou, but he was afraid that he had hollowed out the entire Yanzhou. ”

"In this way, we only need to defend the city and hold on, and when something happens in its rear, Cao Cao will naturally retreat, and he will attack Xu out of anger, but he will also lose his mind because of this."

"Hmm!"

After Tao Qian heard this, he blinked, and most of his illness was cured for a while.

Makes sense, it makes perfect sense!

Why did Cao Cao dare to attack my Xuzhou with the power of the whole territory?!

In the land of a state, even if they are weak and remnants, they can defend the city for several months, and he also opens a warehouse to release grain, buying people's hearts, and how much food is consumed!

If he loses this battle, it will be difficult to start again from now on, and it will hurt too much to spend so much money and food.

As long as I hold on, Cao Cao will be defeated and will never recover.

"That's right," Sun Qian, at this time, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had been defeated, "What Yuan Long said was extremely true. ”

Chen Deng smiled lightly, "Don't drive the award." ”

"For the sake of today's plan, we should immediately send troops to defend Xiapi."

"Many cities in Xiapi have been lost, and Xiapi City must not be lost, and at the same time, the lord ...... Don't let rumors spread in the territory, you should make amends to Cao Cao! ”

Tao Qian immediately sat up and looked at Chen Deng in confusion, "Why?!" ”

"Cao Cao is famous for his teacher, and he should make it clear that this matter is done by his thieves, and he has fled, but his father was killed in the territory, and Xuzhou should compensate himself."

"In this way, the people will be able to make more judgments, so as not to scatter the hearts of the army, and only in this way will this word be transmitted to the ears of the princes, and they will have a reason to come to their rescue."

"Good, good, good!" Tao Qian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he woke up the person in the dream with a word, although now he was in a chaotic situation with rumors.

The will of the people has been difficult to suppress, but it is necessary to give the princes a reason to send troops.

It is this reason that allows reinforcements to be called.

"Good, good!!"

Tao Qian patted Chen Deng's hand heavily, his expression was extremely praised, and he immediately looked at Sun Gan again, and put his hands on his shoulders sincerely.

Said earnestly: "Gongyou, the old man knows that you are eloquent and have a heavy responsibility, I am the people of Xuzhou, and the family business is here, all rely on you!" ”

"You and Yuanlong are the pillars of my Xuzhou, and I will rely on them in the future," Tao Qian's tears were about to come out, and his sincere words made Sun Qian have to be honest.

"Lord, please rest assured!" He showed generosity on his face, "I will invite reinforcements to relieve the siege of Xuzhou!" ”
