"Well, the act of benevolence and righteousness, at this time, is Ganlin for the world."

Zhang Han smiled and nodded, in this way, the Battle of Xuzhou could earn a lot of fame first.

Cao Cao did not slaughter the city or plunder Xu, but stubbornly appeased the people with Huairou benevolence, and then garrisoned the army to win back the hearts of the people.

Although the use of troops in this way is slow, it is stable, and it can also take advantage of the situation to take advantage of Pengcheng within ten days.

"Sacrificial wine, at this moment the Lord is resting, and after dinner in the evening, we should continue to march, while Tao Qian's army has not arrived, the name of our troops to quell the rebellion must spread quickly."

"That's good," Xi Zhicai thought so, nodded and glanced into the hall, seeing that the guards were all on guard, and there was no one in the shadows, knowing that it was indeed difficult to disturb now.

"Bochang, I will first inform the two generals Zihe and Zilian, and ask them to lead the army to prepare first, away from the city."

Cao Chun was born in Cao Cao's guards, and now he has also gone out to lead an elite of Qingzhou soldiers, and Cao Hong is one of the several patriarchs who followed him at the beginning, with thousands of people, and he is rude, regardless of the life and death of the people, after knowing that he can't loot, he complained several times as soon as he entered the city.

Let the two of them act together, just enough to order Cao Chun to watch Cao Hong, while Cao Ren is in charge of the Chinese army, and the Xiahou brothers will not lose the East County.

In this battle, Tao Qian saw that Cao Cao had just subdued millions of Qingxu homeless people, and he couldn't win the battle because he couldn't take care of himself, so he wanted to take advantage of it.

That's why the whole army must be assembled, repelled Tao Qian in a battle, and made an example of chickens and monkeys! It is necessary to deter the surrounding thieves from being small, so that they can be peaceful and tranquil.

There are still a few months left before autumn, and as long as we resist these few months, follow-up food will continue to be delivered to the front line.

"Bo Chang, I will go to the barracks first, you wait for the lord to wake up, I will go to meet the local wealthy clan, if there is any military situation, I will send someone to inform you, ready to march at any time."

"Hmm," Zhang Han nodded, continuing to wait at the city gate. At the same time, think about some of your own plans.

The Tuntian matter has almost been completed, and in the three regions of Dongjun, Chenliu and Jibei, there are a large number of suburban plains, and only Jibei has been affected by the war.

But in the other two places, a huge amount of fertile land has been reclaimed, and during this year's autumn harvest, the harvest is naturally worth looking forward to, during which the Qingxu thieves were killed, injured and injured tens of thousands of people, which cannot be described as meritorious.

This may be the merit that the displaced people in Qingzhou rely on for their survival.

If you grow food, you can save more people, and at the same time, you can fight with a large army, so that you will not slaughter the city and reduce your troops because you have no food and grass, so that your own merits can be among the strategies of the country.

The reward received at that time will definitely surprise Zhang Han and is worth looking forward to.

"It's just that it's really not easy to survive in troubled times," Zhang Han originally only knew that Cao Cao would stand out among the princes and lead the counties of Yanzhou, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

After solving the problem of Montenegro and entering the East County in the Ministry of Poison, it didn't take long for him to go through the assassination of the history of the war and the removal of the moth thief. and settled the soldiers, the homeless, and solicited people's hearts, etc., there was just some improvement here, and it was not easy to temporarily suppress Chen Liu's worries, and Zhang Miao continued the previous relationship and worked together.

As a result, Xuzhou refused to let him go.

In fact, before Tao Qian in Xuzhou moved his troops, Yuan Shu had sent people from Nanyang several times to investigate, and his attitude was very ambiguous, and there was a big sense that if he couldn't stand in Nanyang, he would immediately go north.

It's hard.

Of course, all the people who came to the pinnacle of this deer race were people with great mental strength, not ordinary people.

Now it's up to Tao Qian to decide.

But no matter how he chooses, Zhang Han feels that he can go one step further, and if he can make himself happier by reaping a little more benefits from Tao Qian and throwing his suffering to others?

……

At night, Cao Cao woke up leisurely.

After shouting a few times, Zhang Han came in from outside the door with Dian Wei and said to Cao Cao: "Lord, you are awake." ”

"Well, how long did you sleep? When is this time? Where are the lieutenants and men of our army? ”

Cao Cao's eyes hadn't fully opened, and he was a little dazed in his sleep, feeling like a world away.

Zhang Han said: "We are still in Feng County, waiting for the army to gather, this afternoon, Bao Xiang sent a military report, has been in Dongping, Lu County and Tao Qian's soldiers and horses confront, Tao Qian can not retreat, want to return to the army here at least 15 days. ”

"Yes, we can march into Peiguo as soon as possible, in order to occupy Pei County, and gradually threaten Pengcheng, Xuzhou is not in danger, the land of the four wars, the plains are the mainstay, and the Yellow River is rising, which is not suitable for the Tun army but suitable for hoarding grain," Speaking of this, Zhang Han paused, and said: "The lord does not have to take down Pi, you can occupy Pengcheng and Xiaopei." Let an inch in exchange for his peace of mind, use this time to soothe the people, be close to the villagers, and leave some good reputation, maybe he can defeat Tao Qian with one blow in the future. ”

"Well, what Bo Chang said is very true," Cao Cao stretched his waist and sat up slowly, Zhang Han did have some knowledge, and this said to his heart.

Xuzhou's seat of governance is in Tan County, and most of the entire prefecture and county are plains, even if there are mountains and forests, the mountains are not as steep as other prefectures and counties, the Yellow River overflows, and there are often disasters in the past.

The only barrier in Tan County is Pengcheng and Xiapi, of which Xiapi City is built strong and tall, far more important than Pengcheng, in terms of population, Xiapi is also an important town, even if it is captured, it is difficult to hold on, Tao Qian will definitely take it back at all costs.

"Get ready to go with the army."

Cao Cao got up quickly, picked up the wine on the table and drank it down, and then walked out of the city gate tower quickly.

Not long after, he personally mounted the war horse and went to the military camp, and ordered Cao Ren to lead the iron cavalry to attack Peixian, and he personally led the army to follow.

This is his habit of marching, the cavalry rushes, the army responds, and the capture of the small city will be twice the result with half the effort.

There are not many defenders in Pei County, and the people are working in the fields, and after the scouts know that the army is coming, they can't stop it, so they can only go to Pengcheng for help.

On the one hand, Peng Cheng sent a cavalry for help to Tan County, and sent people to inform Tao Qian to return for help, and on the other hand, he sent thousands of people to support Xiao Pei, and at this time, Cao Cao was better able to arrange troops and horses, and the army was directly diverted to Pengcheng.

The eleven passes, camps, and ferries near Pengcheng are not easy to defend according to danger.

Once the soldiers and horses in the city came out to rescue, the garrison would be even less, so Cao Cao relied on the speed of the march and did not talk about any rules and regulations, which made Tao Qian's army very confused.

Xiapi was originally rebelled by Que, and after Tao Qian put down the rebellion, he had just divided his troops and stationed here, and the people's hearts were not yet stable, and he was in danger of facing the enemy again.

So under the rapid attack, Xiao Pei was lost, not to mention, the soldiers and horses of Pengcheng who came to support were also ambushed and lost in the field.

Pengcheng and Xiapi are in danger.

……

Tao Qian, who attacked the territory of Rencheng, received the military information only after 13 days, and the cavalry hurried for days and days, detouring around the place where the two armies were fighting, and finally one person broke through the siege and arrived.

informed Tao Qian of the current situation in Xuzhou.

"Oh no, no...... I, I shouldn't go deep alone, I want to return to the army immediately! The thin and old Tao Qian was like a lightning strike under the shock of his heart.

During this period of time, it has taken a lot of effort to maneuver around the battlefield and Bao Xin, and it is not easy to firmly occupy the two boundaries of Yanzhou.

If it is a stalemate here, wait for Cao Cao to come and discuss with him, in the name of the thief to take Rencheng, Dongping in Xuzhou, so that you can naturally occupy Mount Tai, the Danyang soldiers under his command are good at mountain warfare, the military style is brave, I think that Cao Cao should be able to weigh it, swallow his anger and let go back to his own Dongjun to defend.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao didn't come at all, and sent troops directly to Pengcheng and went straight to Xiapi.

"He went to Xiapi, in the name of a teacher?"

Tao Qian's eyes widened and asked, Is it just to loot and vent my anger in order to threaten me to return to the army?

"He's in the name of counterinsurgency! Sweep the usurpation of the Han rebel thief Que Xuan. ”

"Huh? Not good! Hurry back to the army, go back to Xiapi!! ”

When Tao Qian heard this, his face wrinkled, and he shouted badly, once this Cao Mengde got Xiapi, then Tancheng would be unobstructed.

Isn't he afraid that the Qingzhou thieves will mutiny again?!

Or is it that after those Qingzhou thieves surrendered, they had already surrendered in just a few dozen days!?
