On the march, Cao Cao looked ugly in the car.

Cheng Yu and Zhang Han followed on left and right, talking loudly about the situation at the moment.

"From Xuzhou to Chenliu, it takes at least ten days to negotiate back and forth, and the march needs to be planned in January. Maybe it has nothing to do with Zhang Miao this time, it's just an accident. Cheng Yu frowned and said loudly.

Before leaving, he carefully read the military report that came more than a dozen times, thought deeply, and with the information he knew, he probably knew the current situation in Xuzhou.

After Tao Qian was invaded by the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans in Xuzhou, he recruited strong men to organize resistance, and at the same time, with his connections and family background, he was supported by the local scholars and wealthy clans, but when he gathered his army to prepare for a big battle, these cunning thieves turned around again and went all the way south to bypass Mount Tai and enter Yanzhou.

This made the remnants of the thieves have to surrender, Tao Qian unexpectedly easily got the merits of the thief, and his reputation soared, and he naturally sat firmly in the position of Xuzhou Mu, and also sent a watch to Chang'an to show his merits.

He should have someone in the Chang'an Imperial Court, and after having this kind of merit, he could immediately get the edict of the Son of Heaven to worship the official.

Therefore, Cheng Yu felt that this was Tao Qian's ambition, he not only wanted Xuzhou, but also wanted to take advantage of the fact that he was not old enough to move at all, and then "moved" the position a little and took the land of the two states.

Cheng Yu grabbed the reins and hugged his fists and said: "My lord, the military newspaper said that it was the Xiapi people who declared the emperor and made a mess, and after Tao Qian's army arrived, Que Xuan fled to Yanzhou, so he led the army to pursue. ”

"Fortunately, there is no chaos in Jibei, Bao Xiang has already led the army to resist, defend along the mountains and forests, set up camps and set up passes to blockade, and force those thieves into the mountains, but Tao Qian still has no intention of retreating."

Cao Cao's expression was very cold and serious, and he never spoke. On the other side, Zhang Han said: "This is to take this opportunity to enter Yanzhou justifiably." ”

"This time, even if Tao Qian doesn't take advantage of the sweetness, it will ruin the achievements of Tuntian these days, and the battlefield can't be in Yanzhou."

Cheng Yu was a little confused after hearing this, now that the opportunity has been taken by Tao Qian, the next step is only to fight, but what other strategies will force Tao Qian back.

"Fight him off and drive the thieves to Xuzhou, as long as you win, you can say anything." After Cao Cao was silent for a long time, he suddenly spoke, and then looked at Zhang Han and said, "Bochang, thank you for this." ”

"You saved Yuncheng, it can be said that it benefits the present, the north of Yanzhou, especially the northeast close to Mount Tai, who doesn't know the name of Bao Xin, he can easily recruit tens of thousands of people in Mount Tai back then."

"With such prestige, how can he not deal with the thieves of Tao Qian in Xuzhou, besides, he is an unrighteous teacher who does unrighteous things, and his momentum is also declining! I'm Yanzhou! Now is the time for the Qingzhou Soldier Picture Report! Just peaceful was invaded by ambition! Angry also! ”

"I want to thank Tao Qian, he came, the people of Yanzhou, and the gap between the Qingzhou soldiers can be eliminated in one battle!"

"I intend to return to Jibei and march into a big battle immediately! Go to Xuzhou! Once victorious, it is natural to denounce it loudly! ”

These words were loud and powerful.

It is useless to just reason, only when you win can you speak convincingly.

Whether it is the victor who is righteous, or justice must be the victor, in the eyes of the people, they will accept it.

So Zhang Han immediately laughed and said loudly: "Tao Qian must also understand this truth, so he miscalculated the current situation in Yanzhou!" In his opinion, it is not easy to settle the millions of people, and the cost is huge! ”

"So I don't mind aggravating the chaos in Yanzhou! How could he have imagined that these hundreds of thousands of people could become soldiers when they took up arms, and most of them were cunning veterans of the battlefield. ”

"Not bad! Bo Chang knows this! ”

Cao Cao sat up straight like a golden knife, with a majestic expression on his face, his eyes looked steadily ahead, and his heart was firm.

In this battle, you can directly take the territory of Xuzhou, as long as the march is fast enough, the princes of all parties will definitely not have time to rush.

……

Before Cao Cao left, he mobilized the brave and strong men in the township, and in front of the famous men and wealthy families, he frankly said that if he died on the battlefield, his family would entrust Zhang Miao to take care of him in the future, and his subordinates could follow Zhang Miao.

Zhang Miao cried on the spot.

hugged Cao Cao tightly, and gave him hundreds of good horses, thousands of stones of grain, and hundreds of pieces of cloth.

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Miao never objected, which is enough to show that the relationship between the two is extremely close, and he Zhang Miao couldn't move at all during the war.

If a little action is detected, the reputation of his life will be completely ruined, and Cao Cao will be entrusted by his family and even the family, and you will still stab you in the back, then you can really only betray your relatives and leave from the future.

After solving Zhang Miao's hidden danger, Cao Cao also deliberately learned about Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao's movements.

Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan competed for Qingzhou, Yuan Shu was anxious to occupy Nanyang, collect Sun Jian's old department, and Chang'an changed dramatically, Dong Zhuo's remnants of the party once again controlled the government, so no one could come to the sidelines.

Cao Cao spent three days and three nights marching back to Dongjun, gathering troops non-stop and heading straight to Rencheng along the Shouzhang line.

After meeting with Bao Xin, who came to greet them, the two discussed not to take the lead in the battle with Tao Qian's army, cede part of the city's territory, and at the same time use troops to the southeast to take Pengcheng directly.

In the first battle, three camps and one city were conquered, and it was not until this moment that Cao Cao had a day or two of peace and could rest for a while.

On the upper floor of the city gate, Zhang Han carried the hem of his robe and clothes, walked up all the way, turned into the lobby of the gate building, and bowed slightly before and after Cao Cao: "Lord, there are more than 30,000 stones of grain and grass counted, enough for the army to eat for several months." ”

"All the mansions were confiscated, and a little food was distributed to the people, and many people were willing to join the army, and some people were willing to be the people."

"At the same time, 300 spies were dispatched among the people to spread rumors to expose the truth about Tao Qian, and also implemented the new policy of the people, and then informed the local people of Cao's frugality precepts, but there is not much time left for us."

After Cao Cao listened, he lay on the bed and turned around slightly, opened his eyes and smiled at Zhang Han, "It's hard work, just do this." ”

"The local people need to escape the war, this war started because of Tao Qian, and I will not be angry with the people of Xuzhou because of this, this is my promise to you."

"These things don't need the people to know, just let the local wealthy families know, and someone can always understand."

After saying this, Cao Cao had fallen asleep in a daze.

At this time, Zhang Han looked at the left and right guards and motioned for them to look around, while he exited the lobby.

Before leaving, he waved at them and said loudly: "It's good that your guards are far away, and you don't have to approach if you don't hear the lord." ”

"Uh, okay."

The two guards were stunned, but they still nodded as they were told, although they didn't know why, they always felt that the steps of the gentleman's evacuation were very skillful.

The city tower outside the hall of Zhang Han and Dian Wei overlooked the Tuhuang Road, and there were panicked displaced people migrating everywhere.

At this time, Xi Zhicai also hurriedly trotted up from the city, and when he saw Zhang Han's location, he immediately strode over, and said eagerly: "Bochang! Good news! ”

"Sacrificial wine." Zhang Han turned around and saluted, "What good news?" ”

"Half of the people did not move and were willing to stay in the city, while the rest of the people who had migrated for refuge were given dry food to them on the road.

Among the people, my Cao Jun's reputation is surprisingly good. ”

"It is really useful for the Lord to spread the name of righteousness." Xi Zhicai laughed with relief, he really realized that not looting and practicing tranquility is just doing it with his heart, and it is also a matter of long-term drought and rain for the people.

It must be a good thing for the lord that the people are so easily satisfied, and that a little rain and dew can be so loved.

But for this dynasty, it is not a kind of sadness.
