That night.

Cao Cao was in the Xiaopei Office and held a banquet for his father.

invited Xun Xiao and Dian Wei to come, and Xia Houen was naturally also listed.

However, Xia Houen has a cold temperament and does not like words when he comes.

Wang Er and him stood behind Xun Xiao with a sword on the left and on the right.

Dian Wei got a seat and sat beside Xun Xiao.

On the opposite side are several clansmen of the Cao family.

During the banquet, Cao Song told the ins and outs of the matter, and Dian Wei also handed over the burden on his waist to Cao Cao, which was Zhang Min's head.

was chased by Dian Wei with a halberd and beheaded, and then wrapped back to prepare for the memorial.

After being beheaded, Dian Wei was besieged by many people in vain to seek revenge.

But he still killed more than a dozen of Zhang Min's cronies and brothers, and the rest of them were scattered as birds and beasts.

As for the pursuers who followed, they couldn't say who they were.

The situation is far more dangerous than Cao Song's mouth.

In Xuzhou, all counties and counties have garrisons, and after they disturbed this place, people didn't know what happened for a while.

I only know that Cao Jun entered the country because he sent a sentry to Tanxian to report a message and ask for an order, and at the same time, he also sent people to kill and intercept him.

chased all night, and it became a pot of porridge.

Fortunately, these cavalrymen in the dead battalion, under the leadership of Xun Xiao, are not very martial arts.

Wrapped under their stirrups is a pair of iron stirrups, and the cavalry's combat ability is much stronger than that of Xuzhou soldiers and horses.

And Dian Wei will train them when he has nothing to do, and all of them are a bit like Dian Wei.

belongs to that kind of style, not afraid of death, fierce and unretreating.

After several bloody battles back and forth, the pursuers gradually decreased, and finally broke through the encirclement.

"This man killed dozens of my brothers, and all the people in the camp of the dead should be compensated." Xun Xiao pointed to the burden on the ground, and then said, "I took them there." ”

"I feel ashamed in my heart, but these dead soldiers saved the Cao family's grandfather, and they are all loyal martyrs, and I hope the lord will remember their names."

If there is a chance in the future, let them also enter the Martyrs' Shrine.

Isn't such a sacrifice also for the sake of righteousness in the heart?

When he spoke, he thought about it.

Young Xun Xiao seemed to be a little hardened in her heart.

How can soldiers and horses not die in troubled times?

Sacrifice is a common thing, and those who sacrifice are nothing more than for their relatives and friends living in the world or future generations to live a peaceful life.

After some telling.

Cao Hong and Cao Xiu were suddenly ashamed of themselves, and glanced at Xun Xiao in some astonishment.

Naturally, they couldn't help but sigh at this person's judgment.

Fortunately, it was not so ugly at the time.

It's not nice to hear, though......

Cao Chun smiled, raised the wine from afar, showed his face to Xun Xiao, and drank it all with his neck tilted.

The admiration is in the wine.

It's a pity that we couldn't go together this time.

When chasing Yuan Shu last year, I still remember it vividly.

After drinking, they retreated.

Cao Cao left Xun Xiao alone, and summoned Xun Yu from the barracks.

Cheng Yu was summoned from the tiger and leopard riders.

Both uncle and nephew were in front of Cao Cao's eyes.

"Everyone, speak freely."

Cao Cao knew about the fighter, and he understood that this was the best time to capture the territory of Xuzhou, and in the name of this, he would completely crush Tao Qian to death.

Occupy Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and in the future, more than 10,000 thieves from Zang Ba will be able to collect the Yangtun soldiers, and even cross Mount Tai into Qingzhou.

At least, he can hold the front line of Qingzhou, and if he fights with Yuan Shao in the future, he will not fall into the realm of being flanked.

Therefore, the strategic importance of Xuzhou occupies an extremely important part of Cao Cao's strategy in Cao Cao's strategy.

The people of later generations all know that Longzhong is right, and they all sigh that Longzhong is right.

In fact, Xun Xiao knew that the strategy that Xi Zhong planned for Cao Cao at this time actually had the ability to swallow the world.

But this time, Xun Xiao didn't want to throw bricks with them, he just wanted Tao Qian to pay the price.

"First issued a text, in the name of begging for thieves, condemning Tao Qian's behavior, in the name of helping the Han in Xuzhou at that time, reprimanding Tao Qian for killing Cao's dependents, seizing money, and condemning him as a villain."

"Then take Pengcheng, Luxian, and Duyang with soldiers and horses."

"We have captured these three places, and at that time, the Lord put grain in the open warehouse, which is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and the local people will not be hindered by the same hatred, after all, Tao Qian has lost his morality and has not yet reacted."

"Hmm," Cao Cao nodded slightly.

Next to Cheng Yu and Xun Yu, Xun Xiao said that everything was going with the flow, and it was inevitable, if they opened their mouths, they were ready to say so.

Then you can move on.

When Xun Yu was about to speak, Xun Yu's voice sounded again.

"After the capture, continue to open warehouses and release grain, treat the people well, do not plunder the city, do not commit any offense against the local people, and the generals and the military divisions under their command have three chapters of the law, and must not vent their grudges."

Cao Cao frowned, "Why do you say this?!" ”

Xun You and Cheng Yu glanced at Xun Xiao and did not speak.

But I already feel that something is wrong.

Why, can't you stop?!

When did you take the initiative second uncle?

Didn't you say nothing before?

Xun Xiao bowed and said solemnly: "The officers and soldiers of the three armies know that the old lord has been attacked and the money and food have been lost, how can they not be angry, and take this as a mourning soldier, they will inevitably work hard to attack the city and pull out the village." ”

"In this way, after entering the city, how can the mourning soldiers not plunder?!"

This is a common thing, in troubled times, it is almost an unwritten rule between the leading generals, and everyone will acquiesce to each other.

They will even occupy houses.

In particular, Cao Cao should have been extremely angry at this time, what would the soldiers and horses do under that anger? !

You must know that in the original world, Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou City in this war!

This massacre of the city is not to mention the stain on his body that cannot be erased, but it makes the people of Xuzhou more united, so that every city is defended by the army and the people, and many soldiers are sacrificed in the attack.

But if you treat Xuzhou at this time in the way of Liu Bei, it may have a miraculous effect.

However, the cost will be enormous.

"The lord suppressed the anger in his heart, and rewarded the whole army with money and wealth, so that it could not slaughter the city and plunder, and did not commit any crimes with the people."

"This makes the people of the remaining cities think that the lord is a benevolent and virtuous person, and under the wash of such a hatred of his father, he will not anger the people."

"Another big deal to reward the sergeants under his command, naturally famous, compared with Tao Qian, naturally rebelled."

"In this way, the local people will gradually lose their love and reverence for Tao Qian, and it will be easier to seize the city."

"Not bad!" Xun You was about to speak.

Xun Xiao didn't give him this opportunity at all, and continued: "All the time, you only need to send someone to recruit Zang Ba who is stationed in Kaiyang, and then you can come to Xiapi and force Tao Qian to have a decisive battle." ”

"Once Xiapi is lost, his Tan County will be like something in his pocket."

"The lord can gain fame, the army, the people! Everything can be earned back, and it can also stabilize the situation in Xuzhou in an instant. ”

Boy.

And even without delaying spring ploughing.

After hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh even if it was him.

Wenbo's strategy......

Although the fine march is not mentioned, the general direction is already dead.

But Cao Cao was still keenly aware of some hidden dangers.

"It's a good strategy."

"However, if the army leaves Yanzhou for too long, it will change later?"

Cao Cao said this, and it seemed that he was telling Xun Xiao.

But in fact, I was thinking about it myself.

I have to say that Xun Xiao cut off his mind in advance.

Cao Cao originally planned to use the power of thunder to slaughter the city and attack, so that Xuzhou was afraid to stop it, but now it seems that with Xun Xiao's strategy, he may be able to slow down the speed of attacking the city.

However, the will of the people and the army will inevitably continue to lean towards themselves with the continuous opening of warehouses and grain to collect the displaced people, and to treat the soldiers well.

More stable.

The only thing to worry about is the emptiness of Yanzhou.

Maybe something will change.

This is an immeasurable thing.

"I can recommend one person, and I can protect Yanzhou from chaos!"

Xun Xiao knew that it was unrealistic to talk about Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others now, and to this day Cao Cao still thinks that they are loyal to him, and both of them can be regarded as kind to the Cao family.

Ineffable.

In order to be foolproof, capture Xuzhou.

Secretly arranged.

Cao Cao stared at him curiously, "Who?" ”

"Cheng Zhongde."

Xun Xiao said firmly.

Cheng Yu: "??? ”

I didn't say a word!

What are you doing?!
