As soon as Cao Cao didn't move, Tao Qian was made very uncomfortable.

Just like a bee inserting into a flower stamen but not collecting nectar, so that the flower and the green leaves that protect the flower are very passive, do they actively drive away or continue to be passive?

For a while, Tao Qian didn't know what Cao Cao wanted to do.

It's just that after Cao Cao mobilized the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou to Xiapi, he stopped attacking, restrained Cao's army in Pengcheng, began to temporarily settle the people, and camped for defense.

This makes it difficult for Tao Qian to choose, fight and not fight, retreat and not retreat, occupy my Xuzhou Pengcheng, what is the reason.

He rushed to Xiapi in a hurry, just to defend the city, but Cao Cao took Pengcheng and stopped fighting.

began to defend the city and settle the wall, and widely collected the displaced people.

Since then, the situation has actually stabilized, and although the two sides are tense, they are each restraining the people.

Inside the gate tower of Pengcheng, Cao Cao laughed heartily when he thought of the recent situation, "Hahaha, benevolence and righteousness are really a good sword!" ”

The day before yesterday, in order to thank Cao Cao for restraining the army, the elders of Pengcheng did not commit any offense against the people, and the old hatred of the family did not give away from the benevolence and righteousness of the people, so he sent a few glasses of rice wine to Cao Cao.

Then Cao Cao sprinkled it on the earth to pay tribute to the souls of the dead soldiers, as well as to have mercy on the affected people.

While greatly increasing his favor, this hand also added a wave of prestige to Cao Cao, and even put an end to the possibility of being assassinated by poisonous wine, and perfectly resolved the assassination of "one fury".

But in fact, when the people in the village come to the banquet after drinking, it should be non-toxic, so it shows that the people are indeed grateful.

Zhang Han stood at the bottom, although he did not have mixed feelings in his heart, but he also felt that in this world, it is benevolent and righteous enough to do nothing to the people, which makes people grateful.

Why?

Because the desired thing can be achieved, before the war, the people who can't escape will naturally pray that if the city is broken, the enemy army will be kind to the people, but often the people who have been broken have never committed a crime, so it becomes an expectation.

One day, when this expectation comes true, I am naturally grateful to Dade.

Raising the people quietly, but also let the people love to remember, "quiet" is to follow the good decree not to collect more harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, in the prosperous era this is not the basic morality, but in the last years of the dynasty, troubled times and other eras, it is particularly rare.

There is no way, this is the wheel of the generation, and the people's standards have fallen again and again.

At this time, maybe Cao Cao went to Tiankanli and didn't pay attention to his feet, and he could move many people to cry bitterly: he didn't hesitate to go to the hardships in person for the sake of farming, and I cried to death.

"It's worthy of me, I have benevolence in my heart, and I can't bear to see the people separated," Cao Cao walked down the steps with his hands behind his back, as if he was sentimental, and his tone was slow and leisurely, "Bo Chang, you remember, those who are officials care about the people, they need to be benevolent and righteous, and they can't be slow to treat the people, the more troubled the people, the more they need benevolent lords, only in this way can we really take Xuzhou!" Because this is a chaotic place, you must win people's hearts with good deeds! ”

he~tui！ You shouldn't drink the wine offered by Lao Suo, you should drink yellow soup!

There is a poem in later generations that says: Yellow soup is poured into Rukou, this thing is the most sobering dog; Sugar is high, don't step forward, don't give a point of sweetness!

If I hadn't known the original history, I would have believed this nonsense by now.

The original Cao Cao knew benevolence and righteousness, but did not practice benevolence and righteousness.

It was Zhang Han's various inducements that made him know benevolence and righteousness and practice benevolence, and pursue the unity of knowledge and action.

Knowing but not doing is most ordinary people.

But in order to achieve a great cause, that act must be an extraordinary person, and an extraordinary person naturally has to follow the extraordinary way, which is not something that ordinary people can bear and adhere to.

"The lord is wise," Zhang Han still echoed very heartily, and continued: "Bao Xiang sent a military report, Zang Batun army Kaiyang, and his generals Yu Ban and Zang Ba are old acquaintances, Bao Xiang has also been famous in Mount Tai, maybe he can be persuaded to defect instead, but Tao Qian is also quite kind to him, so it is more difficult." ”

"Taishan thieves are cunning and intelligent, they will not easily devote themselves to one place, they are entrenched in a place, do not respect the orders of the imperial court, armed and self-reliant, in order to protect the people, such people may not be for the achievement of hegemony, should be waiting for a real master, so wait for the price and sell."

To put it bluntly, although he gathered tens of thousands of people, thousands of people, and tens of thousands of grains and grass, he didn't plan to "sell his life" for anyone, but just entrenched in one place and became a force, waiting for Zhao'an.

This group of people is also thieves, but they are taking the road of protecting the territory and the people, so they have people attached to them, and they are naturally more stable than ordinary thieves gathering people.

At first, Zhang Han couldn't figure out what he wanted when he knew Zang Ba, but later he thought of the slogan of the Taishan thief as "doing the right thing for heaven", and regarded Zang Ba as a gift to Jiang, Song Gongming.

Everything became much clearer.

Of course, they are far from reaching the point of Liang Shanbo, so they will still be uncertain, judging the master, and they need to bet on the longest-term bet.

Therefore, as long as the battle of Xuzhou is fought beautifully and the bargaining chips are given enough to recruit, this group of people will naturally return with peace of mind.

"Okay, so it seems that the advantage is mine, as long as he is not a threat, he can be separated from Yuncheng in the north, even if he is safe, he is also helping me," Cao Cao took a deep breath and was greatly relaxed, "According to Wen Ruo's calculation, the money and food are enough until the autumn, thanks to last year's bumper harvest." ”

"Now, just sit and watch the hidden dangers in Yanzhou, I am so desperate to storm Xuzhou's military report, it should also be transmitted back to Yanzhou, presumably everyone can feel my anger."

Cao Cao's mood was very calm, and he didn't see any fluctuations, but when he swore and mobilized before the war, he was extremely excited in front of the soldiers, and the emotion of fire in his eyes had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Regardless of Bai Zi's secret son, he will secretly pass this scene as information when he sees it, and the desperate attack on Xuzhou in the past ten days is completely different.

However, Zhang Han's heart was relieved, and he had to sigh, with Bao Xin, the battle of Xuzhou was really much easier than he thought before, and he alone relied on his prestige and family background, as well as his connections accumulated for many years, enough to support Cao Cao to hold half of the sky in the north.

I really don't know which hero saved Bao Xiang in the first place!

Oh, it was me.

"Bo Chang, go and prepare an essay, and prepare to denounce Tao Qian's three sins! Then push the three policies to benefit the people. ”

"Sincerely." Zhang Han bowed and turned to leave.

……

Chen Liu.

The two sat opposite each other in the house in the compound of the government office.

Zhang Miao was slightly obese, with bulging bags under his eyes, and he looked quite haggard during this time, but in order to see his friends, he still trimmed his beard and took care of it, and he smiled with a strong spirit.

The man opposite him, dressed in black and robed, wearing a crown and hat, with a round face, sallow skin, and a goat's beard with a sense of elegance and vicissitudes, looked like a swordsman at first glance, but his conversation was extraordinary.

At first, the two chatted with a lack of interest and did not move, but after talking about the current situation in Yanzhou, they slowly warmed up.

The black-robed middle-aged Confucian gradually became excited, got up from the case, approached Zhang Miao and said: "Now that the heroes are rising, the world is divided, you have 100,000 soldiers and horses, you are in the land of four battles, and you look at the world by the sword, you are enough to be a hero among people, but you are controlled by others, don't you feel too humble?"

Now the army of Benzhou is crusading eastward, its land is empty, Lu Bu is a strong man, good at fighting, if he is brought to occupy Yanzhou together, wait and see the situation in the world, and wait for the situation to change, this is also a great opportunity to cross the world! ”

In this way, Cao Mengde is not an opponent! I've got to tell the story! Xuzhou is holding on, once we get Yanzhou, he will be the enemy on his back, like a lost dog, we are in the west, Tao Qian in the east, Yuan Shu in the south, Cao Cao will be defeated! ”

A real chess player is to stand up and play the most critical move at the most critical time, turning Cao Cao's situation from a winning situation to a desperate situation in an instant!

Once it can be done, there will be one less prince in the world who will compete for hegemony!

"But—"

"You're still but!"

This black-robed man is the Chen Palace who stayed in Dongjun, when Cao Cao got Dongjun, he was out of office, and he contacted Bao Xin and Li Ying as the assassin Shi, he had to be promoted and appointed, and Cao Cao's favor was a matter of one sentence.

In the same year, it was also the time when Zhang Han entered the camp.

That year, Zhang Han fought from the sea of corpses and blood, and barely managed to save his life in the troubled times.

"Good."

Zhang Miao nodded, in his opinion, this is the best opportunity, Cao Cao's army is so eager to go east, it must be to take advantage of the name of revenge to take Xuzhou in one battle.

"You have the connections and prestige accumulated over the years, and you can make the scholars and officials obey each other with a single shout."

"Zhang Bochang, do you know this person?"

Zhang Miao suddenly asked.

Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "I have heard a little, so I don't need to worry." Why did Taishou mention him? ”
