Cao Jun entered the town of Xuzhou and did not commit any crime against the people, which was the first case in the world.

For the people who have experienced the war over the years, where have they seen such an army?

Whether it was in the Yellow Turban of the previous uprising, or in the vassal army in the war later.

These armies, that way is not burning, killing and looting, that way is not forcibly collecting taxes.

Like Cao Jun, it is unheard of.

Trust in each other is built from the smallest details.

With the Yanzhou policy in front, most of the people gradually heard about Yanzhou.

With the implementation of the policy of dividing the land, this trust began to grow more and more.

Nowadays, the towns of Xuzhou under Cao Jun have completely changed their perception of Cao Jun.

Under such circumstances, the people's will gradually stabilized.

In time, these Xuzhou towns will become towns under Yanzhou's command, and there will be no problem at all.

There are not many problems in the book.

In addition to the fact that after the stabilization of these towns, the people sang praises.

It's mostly trivial things, and such things have accumulated a lot on Cao Cao's case.

Casually put down the book in his hand, and Xi Yu glanced at Cao Cao and the two in front of him.

"The hearts of the people are available!"

The town of Xuzhou under Cao Jun was not surprising that it was so stable.

In general, in such a town, the people's hearts are already somewhat inclined to Cao Jun.

Of course, the people who have lived in Xuzhou for generations still have some feelings for Xuzhou itself, and it is normal for some people to have a wait-and-see attitude.

There are some families behind this, and this is not a problem.

For the sake of today's plan, if the entire Xuzhou can be annexed in one go, it will be the best thing for Cao Cao's camp.

If Yanzhou and Xuzhou can be occupied at this point in time, the power of Cao Cao's camp will be greatly improved.

The four words blurted out by Xi Yu made Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai in front of them look at each other and smile.

The two of them have the same perception of the current situation as Xi Yu.

Now in the towns of Xuzhou under his command, the hearts of the people are really towards them.

In the past, if you want to win people's hearts, you have to work for years or even decades, and there is now the effect of just over a month.

All of this is the credit of Xi Yu!

Cao Cao looked relieved, seeing that Xi Yu was on the side again, at this moment, it was all the way forward, taking advantage of the New Year to annex the entire Xuzhou in one go.

When the time comes, it will be time for the New Year in Yanzhou!

"Fengyi, can our army capture the entire Xuzhou in one go before the year?"

Cao Cao was full of pride, the beard on the corner of his mouth trembled slightly, at this moment, he seemed to see the scene where the entire Xuzhou had been gathered under his command!

In the future, it will be to pacify the entire Han world, and pay homage to the prime minister!

For a while, Cao Cao's thoughts couldn't help but drift a little far.

Xi Yu glanced at the other party lightly, and Xi Zhicai on the side also squinted slightly.

Capture Xuzhou in one go?

This kind of thing, whether it is difficult or not, whether it is difficult or not, and whether it is difficult or not, is actually quite difficult.

There is still a big gap between today's territory and the territory of later generations.

The war between Yanzhou and Xuzhou, in later generations, may not even be able to get out of a large province.

However, this era is not comparable to later generations, there is no ship artillery.

Cold weapons are fighting, and it's more about human lives!

Some things are not as simple as imagined, there are few words in the history books, and only when you know that you put them in reality with your own eyes will you know how tragic they are.

Although Cao's army successively captured more than a dozen towns in Xuzhou, these towns still saw more or less blood.

It also depends on the situation when the city is raised.

It doesn't make sense that because you Cao Cao is here, the whole Xuzhou will raise their hands and give Xuzhou to you.

Xi Yu originally thought that he could annex the entire Xuzhou in one go.

But looking at it now, it is not easy to annex the entire Xuzhou in one go before the end of the year.

Although the people's will is available, the people of this era are after all what people say.

Now it is the wealthy families who control the world for a long time.

The people of the whole world are attached to these wealthy families, and some concepts cannot be reversed in a moment.

At present, it is too difficult to capture the entire Xuzhou before the end of the year.

Those Xuzhou families will not agree at all, and if Cao Cao is pressed more and more, the whole Xuzhou will not be twisted into a rope.

Probably, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou three times in a row in history for this reason!

Of course, because of Cao Cao's slaughter of the city, Xuzhou was deeply heartbroken for Cao Jun.

But, now it's different!

If you can advance slowly, if you boil a frog in warm water, it will not be a problem to capture Xuzhou.

After his thoughts were clear, Xi Yu looked up at Cao Cao, who was looking at him with anticipation.

"Difficult!"

"If you want to capture Xuzhou in January of the year, it is very difficult!"

Xi Yu poured a basin of cold water on Cao Cao without hesitation, dispelling the other party's series of dreams.

Cao Cao, who came back to his senses, the light in his eyes was obviously a little weaker.

The drama Zhicai on the side was also a little helpless, about the situation in Xuzhou, he had already analyzed it in his heart before.

Sure enough, his brother's opinion is not much different from his own.

If you want to capture the whole of Xuzhou in one go, where is such a thing that can be solved in a month or two.

Now that the Han court is still there, some people will not sit idly by and watch Cao Cao annex the entire Xuzhou in one go.

What's more, the whole of Xuzhou will not just sit back and watch Cao Jun annex the entire Xuzhou.

"Is it really impossible?"

Cao Cao is still a little unwilling, if he can't annex Xuzhou in one go, then what's the point of this battle he worked so hard for?

"What does my brother mean by impossibility?"

Looking at Cao Cao, who was frowning, Xi Yu looked at Cao Cao with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

The latter raised his head: "Of course it's the annexation of Xuzhou!" ”

"I thought what my brother said was daring to annex Xuzhou before the end of the year!"

Xi Yu took a deep breath and looked at the fire in the furnace in front of him slowly.

After taking the initiative to pick up a piece of black charcoal and throw it into the stove, Xi Yu spoke again.

"If you want to annex Xuzhou before the end of the year, this matter is somewhat difficult."

"Fang is undecided today, the Han court is still there, and my brother is now attacking Xuzhou, and the princes of the world are all looking at it."

"And this time, the elder brother occupies the righteousness, and the princes of the world naturally have nothing to do."

"However, if my brother really wants to annex the entire Xuzhou in one go, I am afraid that it will attract the fear of the surrounding area!"

"What's more, although the Han Court is showing weakness, if Tao Qian has no choice but to ask for help from the Han Court, then the edict of the Son of Heaven will come down, how should the elder brother deal with it?"

Xi Yu looked at Cao Cao and said lightly.

If you want to grow big in one go, if you can solve it quickly, it won't be a problem.

It's just that less than two months is too short after all.

It is impossible for Yuan Shao in the north to be deaf and unable to see this.

At present, Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou is just to avenge his father, standing righteously, Yuan Shao naturally won't say anything, even his advisers will only turn a blind eye.

However, if they really occupy the land of Liangzhou, how can Yuan Shao's people sit still.

At that time, Yuan Shao was afraid that he would put down the matter of fighting for Youzhou with Gongsun Zhan first, and would instead have to suffer for his little brother.

And now, it is not a good thing for Cao Cao to want to face up to Yuan Shao, who has a deep background.

What's more, there is still Yuan Shu in the south.

If it really caused the princes to attack together, the entire Yanzhou would not be able to stop it at all.

And not to mention it, if Tao Qian really asked the Han Court for help, an edict from the world would make Cao Cao at a loss.

To pick up or not to answer?

"This?"

Xi Yu's words made Cao Cao's scalp tingle, and if you think about it carefully, this is indeed the case.

However, now that Xuzhou has been captured, it seems that as long as he exerts his own strength, he can annex the entire Xuzhou.

Just let him give up like this, how can he be willing in his heart?

"Could it be that our army can't capture Xuzhou?"

Cao Cao was a little fascinated, and the words he blurted out subconsciously became a little anxious.

Xi Yu shook his head: "Brother, don't worry! ”

"It's not that you can't annex Xuzhou, but you can't be too impatient in this matter!"

"Our army naturally can't do useless work in attacking Xuzhou this time, and now the towns of Xuzhou under our command have achieved miraculous results!"

"Brother is slowly advancing this time, I expect that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in the north will face each other again soon."

"At that time, the two are incompatible, and Yuan Shu in the south is not to worry!"

"At that time, Xuzhou will no longer be able to resist my brother."

Xi Yu said slowly, and the drama on the side nodded accordingly.

There must still be a fight, but there is no need to fight so urgently at the moment.

Annexing Xuzhou little by little will not force the entire Xuzhou to death, but also pretend to save a breath for the other party.

That's a good idea.

Cao Cao sighed and thought about it carefully, but there was nothing wrong with what Xi Yu said.

For now, it seems that this is the only way.

"Now, our army should start there!"

casually spread out the map of Xuzhou on the desk, Cao Cao raised his eyes and asked Xi Yu.

The latter moved his body to the side of the desk, and when he saw the circle that Cao Cao had already marked on the map.

Tancheng!

It seems that this is where Liu Bei's garrison is.

Almost subconsciously, Xi Yu glanced up at Cao Cao, who was squinting and smiling.

"Brother wants to deal with Liu Bei first?"

Xi Yu's expression was a little playful, he never thought that Cao Cao would regard Liu Bei so important in his heart.

"Hmph, Cao Mou avenged his father this time, and none of the other princes sent troops here, only this Liu Xuande ran over to be a good person?"

"He really thinks Cao has no temper!"

Thinking of Liu Bei, Cao Cao's teeth couldn't help but itch a little!

He issued an edict this time, clearly saying that he was avenging his father and holding the banner of righteousness.

Even, he specially sent a letter to Liu Bei to explain the matter before, thinking that the other party would not appear, but he never thought that Liu Bei still came!

How can this not make Cao Cao angry in his heart.

He originally thought that Liu Bei and he were friends, and they had a lot of contact with each other when they were in alliance with the princes.

At that time, he and the three brothers of Liu Bei could be regarded as having a very happy conversation.

However, now, Liu Bei is so faceless, how can this not be annoying.

"Okay, Tancheng is not bad!"

Xi Yu nodded, now Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan have won against Shang Zangba and Sun Guan.

The morale of Xuzhou is weak, if Cao Jun can defeat Liu Bei this time, the morale of the entire Xuzhou will inevitably be hit hard again.

And for Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others.

After all, Xi Yu is still quite interested, since he came to this era, for celebrities such as Liu Bei and Guan Yu, Xi Yu still wants to know him personally.

Later generations had mixed evaluations of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, but Xi Yu didn't have much opinion on this.

What can be recorded in the history books and passed down is never a mediocre person.

What's more, one is Emperor Zhaolie of Han and the other is Emperor Wu of Wei.

……

After the decision was made on Cao's side, the next day the army began to march in the direction where Tancheng was located.

And as Cao Jun's movements became clear, Liu Bei, who was in Tancheng for the first time, also received the news.

Tancheng Administration.

Knowing that Cao Cao's army was coming, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a little numb in his scalp.

Tancheng, a small land in the East China Sea, how can it stop Cao Cao's army from attacking.

Now that he has soldiers under his command and Tian Kai's men, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers when he is full, and how long can such soldiers stop Cao Cao.

As soon as he received the news, Liu Bei asked people to quickly send the news back to Xuzhou City.

Tao Qian, who also received the news, heard the letter from Liu Bei's envoy, and glanced at Cao Bao hard.

"General Cao, you should lead the troops to help Liu Xuande, don't let Cao Cao invade my Xuzhou realm!"

Tao Qian was weak, and Cao Bao on the side couldn't help but shake his hand.

"Envoy, can you really trust that Liu Xuande?"

Cao Bao glanced at Tao Qian with some confusion, he didn't have much contact with Liu Bei.

However, this time Liu Bei ran away, which made Cao Bao not feel very good about him.

At present, Tao Qian asked him to bring the remaining soldiers and horses in Xuzhou to help Liu Bei, but he was somewhat reluctant in his heart.

If at that time, then Liu Bei opened the city and surrendered, directly welcomed Cao Cao in, and gave up the city, what should I do?

He heard that Liu Bei and Cao Cao still had some friendship.

"General Cao, don't be suspicious, Xuande is a person who understands righteousness and has the style of a benevolent person, and will never do what he thinks!"

"His people can help me Xuzhou at this time, if I retreat at this moment, how will the people of the world view Xuzhou?"

Tao Qian forcibly propped himself up and looked at Cao Bao quietly.

At this time, he has become more and more aware that he may not last long, and even if he recovers, he will not be able to recover when he is young and strong.

What should happen to Xuzhou in the future, he was also a little confused.

"Go and help him!"

He could only pin his hopes on Liu Bei for the time being.

The other party was able to help Kong Beihai before, and he was trustworthy.

Hearing Tao Qian say this, Cao Bao didn't say anything after all, this time Tao Qian asked him to help Liu Bei, and he somewhat understood the meaning.

Now Tao Qian is old, he followed Tao Qian early, and the other party is now thinking about him.

If you can have a good relationship with Liu Bei at this moment, it will be a good thing for Cao Bao in the future.

At least, in case Tao Qian really dies one day, he Cao Bao will also have some hope in the future.

"Lord, take care of your body, and the end will be gone!"

Arched his hand towards Tao Qian, and then Cao Bao did not delay any longer, except that the Governor Mansion led the other party's order and began to lead the army in the direction of Tancheng.

At the same time, within Tancheng.

The spies came to report, and the Cao army would be in the city in a few days.

For this situation, Liu Bei was a little panicked.

Since entering Tancheng, he has ordered his soldiers to start building the city wall, and the originally narrow Tancheng city wall is now somewhat taller and larger.

But, it's not enough!

After all, such a town is too small.

It's not a big city like Xuzhou City.

Such a town can't hold the city for a long time, and if it is really surrounded by Cao Cao's army, it will become a dead end at that time.

In desperation, Liu Bei could only choose to station his soldiers and horses in front of the city wall of Tancheng and wait for the arrival of Cao's army.

He still hoped to persuade Cao Cao to withdraw in front of the two armies.

It's just that such a thought still flashed in Liu Bei's mind after all.

This time, his letter to Cao Cao has been some time coming, and Cao Cao has already read it if he thinks about it!

However, Cao Cao did not reply to himself.

The meaning of its manifestation could not be more obvious.

Cao Cao didn't have the slightest intention of retreating.

"Big brother, what are you afraid of, that Cao Cao is also a person with a head on his shoulders, what is there to be afraid of!"

"When it's a big deal, I will make a sprint, rush straight to the enemy formation, and pick up Cao Cao's head back for the eldest brother!"

Zhang Fei said with a big grin, now that the fight is finally going to start, he has long been a little unbearable in his heart.

As soon as he said this, Liu Bei on the side hurriedly glared at him.

"Yide, Hugh is going to talk nonsense!"

"That Cao Cao is in the middle tent, even if you have a brave body, it is difficult to rush in front of his Chinese army!"

Where is the battle between the two armies that it is said that you can rush over, do you really think that the generals and soldiers in front of Cao Cao are blind?

Zhang Fei pursed his lips and didn't say anything, but the eyes of Guan Yu and Zhao Yun on the side lit up at the same time.

For military generals, taking the head of the enemy general in the army is the greatest compliment.

And if it can really do this, it will be the most dazzling thing for it.

The corners of Guan Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and subconsciously he couldn't help but start thinking about it.

When the time comes, can you ride a horse and rush over and cut off Cao Cao's head?

Is this difficult?

Guan Yu thinks it shouldn't be difficult!

Zhao Yun also clenched the spear in his hand, and rode his horse across the enemy formation.

Zhang Fei's words made the other two people on the side a little eager to try.

And such a situation naturally made Liu Bei observe, and he was a little surprised that the second brother, who was extremely stable on weekdays, was also aroused by the third brother's words.

And Zhao Yun, who is as gentle as jade, is also interested?

As for Tian Kai, who was standing on the other side, the whole person was already numb.

Ever since he met Liu Bei and others, he felt that these three brothers were not fucking normal people.

What are you kidding if you take the head of the enemy from the crowd? -
