Volume 2 War Chapter 207 Cao Cao retreated
Thank you Brother Xuande for his righteousness and willingness to save his little brother's life. "Since Tao Qian knew that Liu Bei came to save Xuzhou, he felt that this guy who was not valued by everyone in the Eighteenth Route Alliance at the beginning was now much stronger than most of the princes of the Eighteenth Route.
Today's Liu Bei has also cultivated the Red Dragon Technique to a very high level, and his cultivation has reached the peak of foundation building, and the change in force cannot have any unimaginable transformation of Liu Bei's strength. But Liu Bei is pregnant with a dragon, so the red dragon recipe has changed a lot in him.
"Xuzhou Mu is polite, Xuzhou Mu is also the only hero in the world, so it is not a strange thing to come to help you this time, there are not many heroes today, but Tao Gong is one in Beixin. Liu Bei's praise really alleviated the tension in Tao Qian's heart at this time.
"Brother Xuande dares to risk his life and become an enemy with Cao Cao, this is really sorry Brother Xuande. Tao Qian already regarded Liu Bei as his brother at this time, and kept chatting with Liu Bei, and the two talked a lot, the more they chatted, the more Tao Qian felt that Liu Bei and himself were really long-lost relatives and friends, and this fragrance already had the illusion that he hated himself for not being born ten years early.
Cao Cao's army outside the city is like a black wave, and the towering armor is worn on those Cao army's audit three, naturally there is a different kind of Xiao killing atmosphere, Liu Bei naturally knows the current situation outside the city, and naturally he will not have time to continue to talk here with Tao Qian, and directly with some wine, as a thank you gift, he took his men and horses to the top of the city tower to watch Cao Cao's army this time.
Cao Cao was very smart, knowing that Liu Bei would not fight with them so easily, so he directly chose to forcibly attack the city, and those flying fireballs were hit in the air by the trebuchet one by one, and the flames burned in the air, and after the extremely high temperature crossed the air, it did leave a deadly black smoke.
At this moment, the entire city of Xuzhou is already like a war, almost one place is free from suffering, Liu Bei naturally has a way to counterattack Cao Cao, now Cao Cao's grain and grass is not far from Xuzhou City, only Cao Cao's grain and grass need to be ignited, so many soldiers and horses can't eat food, then they can only be forced to withdraw.
So Liu Bei ordered Zhang Fei to intercept and kill Cao Cao's grain cart, but unfortunately Zhang Fei did intercept the grain and grass, but Cao Cao's grain transportation line was not only one, which also made Liu Bei's plan fall into a quagmire.
Cao Cao thought that everything would go according to his plan, but one of the two grain and grass transportation teams would be attacked and the grain and grass would be delayed, which made Cao Cao very angry, but he had to decide to attack Xuzhou City again, if he still couldn't take it, he could only come and besiege Xuzhou City next time
In Cao Cao's eyes, this place in Xuzhou must be included in the Cao family's territory, which is a matter that cannot be changed, and Cao Cao's last attack will naturally not let Liu Bei and others know.
Around the second day, Cao Cao ordered the whole army to attack immediately, and at this time, the soldiers in Xuzhou City were already exhausted, and they had no will to continue fighting, which was also the purpose of Cao Cao's raid at night.
But for the safety of their own lives, those soldiers in Xuzhou City began to resist desperately, and the battle lasted all night, until noon the next day, at this time Cao Cao had already run out of food and grass, and had no ability to continue fighting, but the entire Xuzhou City was also full of wounds.
Most of the counties in Xuzhou were swept away by Cao Cao, and all the materials in it were plundered by Cao Cao, in fact, this plan was very successful for Cao Cao, although Cao Cao did not completely take Xuzhou City, but the resources in Xuzhou City have reached Cao Cao's Chen at this time.
When the smoke on the battlefield gradually faded, the battlefield also showed its appearance, but Cao Cao led the army back, this time there was a lot of work, so Cao Cao needed to go back and get ready to go, waiting for the time to attack Xuzhou again, and then Xuzhou must be taken in one fell swoop.
At this time, Tao Qian learned that Cao Cao had retreated, and thought that Liu Bei's plan had played a role, and directly invited Liu Bei to come to the mansion as a guest, and Liu Bei naturally would not be stupid not to go.
"Brother Xuande, now that Cao Cao has retreated, you have done me a great favor, I am ready to let you be a Taishou in my Xuzhou, are you willing?" Tao Qian is actually old now, although he still looks old and strong, in fact, only he knows his physical condition.
Therefore, Tao Qian now urgently needs someone who can bring Xuzhou without being attacked by the outside world, and this person is Liu Bei in front of him, since Liu Bei can risk his life to save himself from this Xuzhou, and the monument is very loved by the people, so Liu Bei naturally became the best candidate for the heir of Xuzhou.
In fact, if Tao Qian has an heir or something, it is actually the best, but unfortunately Tao Qian has no heirs, the original children all died in the battlefield, so that this old man, who has been floating in the wind for a long time, has no sustenance in his heart, and Xuzhou is Tao Qian's biggest sustenance at this time.
"How dare you accept this kind of thing, my Liu Bei risked the world to help you Xuzhou Mu, but not for official positions, I just simply look at you Xuzhou Mu is a hero, if you think that I Liu Bei is a villain who covets official positions, then you really look down on me Liu Bei. "How could Liu Bei want this kind of position, although Liu Bei also wants to have an official and a half-position in his heart, but as a hero in troubled times, he still has a big career to do in his heart, so he can't be limited to this small position of Taishou.
"Brother Xuande is righteous, and please accept the old man to replace the entire people of Xuzhou and bow to Brother Xuande's righteousness. This Tao Qian sincerely wants to repay Liu Bei, not because Liu Bei saved his life, but because Liu Bei saved the lives of the entire people of Xuzhou.
"Tao Gong must not, how can I, Liu Bei, He De, stand your worship. Liu Bei was actually a little reluctant at this time, although he did destroy Cao Cao's grain line, but only destroyed one, Cao Cao has at least two grain lines, and the reason why Cao Cao will run out of food is God's arrangement.
"Brother Xuande, let's do this, my Tao Qian has no friends in the world, you are my Tao Qian's old friend from now on, if I have any accidents, you can directly replace me in charge of Xuzhou and become the pastor of Xuzhou," Liu Bei heard this, so where did he dare to take it, he directly opened his mouth to refuse, but Tao Qian was extremely decisive at this time, no matter how Liu Bei persuaded him, Tao Qian would not take back his words.
Liu Bei was the most popular or agreed to Tao Qian, it was also under Tao Qian's hard coercion that Liu Bei agreed to become the Xuzhou Mu, and Cao Cao, who was on the way back at this time, heard about this incident, it was angry, and this Liu Bei actually became the successor of Xuzhou Mu, but his own efforts were given away as a wedding dress.
"I don't think there's a need to worry so much, the current Xuzhou Mu is still Tao Qian, so you only need to take Xuzhou down before Tao Qian dies, so no matter how Liu Bei tosses, he can't do anything. Guo Jia said beside Cao Cao at this time, Guo Jia has been giving advice to Cao Cao all these years, but now Guo Jia's face is pale, obviously a little dying.
"Guo Jia, what's wrong with you? In recent days, I have felt that your body is getting worse day by day, but has something happened?" In fact, the reason why Guo Jia became like this actually depends on Cao Cao's original decision, when Guo Jia and Cao Cao decided that they would lead their subordinates to give the world a peace.
Guo Jia is another generation of geniuses, and he actually integrated his soul and essence blood into Cao Cao's dragon phase, so that Cao Cao's dragon vein luck is even stronger, but Guo Jia is because he can't withstand this powerful dragon power, which causes his body to be worse day by day.
"If I die, I should be on your god list, I already know the secrets in the god list, and then when I become a god, I will naturally reveal why I am like this now. Guo Jia actually didn't want to tell Cao Cao what he had done, because Guo Jia's approach was only good for Cao Cao and Cao Cao's country.
