Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 26 It's really embarrassing, I feel worse than death

That night, Tao Qian personally led the army to Xiapi despite his weakness.

Notices were also issued to spread the word.

Yanming will discuss with Cao Cao, and make it clear that at this time it is the bandit soldiers under his command, not on behalf of Xuzhou. I hope Cao Cao will focus on the overall situation and prevent wars.

Although Tao Qian knew that these words were useless, just like what Chen Yuanlong said, the intention was not to make Cao Cao lose his heart to attack Xu.

Instead, let the rest of the princes have a reason to be a teacher.

Otherwise, the unrighteous army will be obstructed in every possible way, and the morale will never be high. For a soldier, these elements are extremely important and indispensable.

Unless it has reached the point where it can be suppressed by troops at will without fear of personal injury.

Otherwise, you must learn from others.

As soon as the announcement came out, Tao Qian marched much more briskly. After arriving in the city of Xiapi, he found that Cao Cao's army had not arrived, so he sent troops out of the city to scout out the post, preparing to advance the army and set up another camp outside Xiapi.

"Hmph, if Cao Mengde doesn't occupy the advantage of Xiapi at this time, he will be in a dilemma. If I put soldiers and horses outside the city to support Xiapi, he can rescue him wherever he attacks."

"My lord is wise!" On Tao Qian's side, there was only a rather resolute face inside the iron helmet.

Mustache and chin beard are also quite rough, not curly. There are many skin folds on the face, and some marks are like arrows or knife marks. The skin is terribly rough.

This person is Cao Bao, who belongs to Tao Qian's true confidant. Back then, they all entered Xuzhou to lead the state herdsmen, and they led Cao Bao and Danyang soldiers.

"Hey, I don't want to fight, but since Cao Mengde is so persuasive, I have no choice but to fight hard, occupying the advantage of the land to gain the military power, I can take advantage of this opportunity!"

Tao Qian looked confident. With his years of experience in marching and fighting, he should be determined to win, and his xiapi was stable.

……

Overnight, the sentry cavalry found no trace of the enemy within a radius of [-] miles, so they boldly sent troops to set up camp, and set up another screen camp outside Xiapi as a response.

As a result, after finding the vicinity of the water source, when they were camping, they were suddenly killed by thousands of soldiers and horses from the mountain.

Kill a piece of armor without leaving it.

At the same time, news came from the other side of the walled city that Cao Cao crossed the river and hoarded grain and grass at Dazedu on the south side, and it only took three days to transport the grain.

Round trip available within seven days.

From Xiaopei to Xiapi, there was almost no worry about food and grass.

"how so……"

Tao Qian had just cheered up for half a day, and after being hit head-on by the tiger who had already ambushed him, he was so angry again that his eyes became dizzy, and he went directly to the government office to be raised.

Cao Cao took advantage of the victory to pursue, and the army was dispatched like a tide, advancing separately from three roads, occupying the first three cities of Xiapi with lightning speed.

He also cheated and opened a few passes, making people think that Tao Qian was defeated. In the moment of chaos, it seemed that Tao Qian was covered in the head and beaten a few times.

The situation suddenly became clear.

In the next few days, Tao Qian's army only garrisoned in the city, and resolutely refused to go out of the city to fight.

Can only retreat.

Therefore, Cao Cao's first strategy has been successfully completed, encircling Xiapi and stationing troops, transporting food and accumulating in the rear, the next step is to occupy the main roads in various places, surround the city wall to the west of Xiapi, and then find another way.

The confrontation between the two armies has taken shape.

Tao Qian lost his last chance to take advantage of the geographical advantage, so he had no choice but to stick to it.

Originally, it was possible to strategize and fight step by step. After being ambushed and beaten, the defense of the city can only depend on perseverance and morale
……

At this time, Juancheng.

Diannong Institute.

Xu Zhen led people to complete the excavation of the ditch, and led a certain river from the Yellow River flowing from Dongjun into the field to irrigate the farmland.

Resting in the yard of a wooden house on a hill.

[You work day and night to complete the water conservancy of the ditches and seek the well-being of the people. Your self-discipline value is +300, and you will gain an additional Charm +2. Once you get it, you will be titled "Good Official"]

[Good officials: charm +3, internal affairs +5]

internal affairs.

The moment the power poured in, Xu Zhen felt that many understandings in the past suddenly became clear, and his specialized knowledge and thoughts on domestic and internal affairs became more transparent.

This is a special bonus for increasing attributes.

At the level of internal affairs, Xu Zhen's thinking, understanding, and knowledge will all become more outstanding.

[Internal affairs: 71]

"Very well, I have never deliberately increased, but I was able to increase by being on duty on time and persevering in office."

"It seems that the rewards of this system also complement each other."

A major event was completed, that is, the great success of digging ditches, so that the people really benefited, and also allowed myself to obtain various political achievements.

"It's getting better and better. In this way, there will be more projects for collecting self-discipline points, and there will be additional gains."

Xu Zhen suddenly realized in his heart that he felt that the road ahead would be much richer, but the same sentence should not be taken lightly.

【Force: 80】

The accumulation of these days has just been exchanged to this point, and it can be regarded as the ability of a second-rate general.

If you are in a life-and-death battle with the current fierce generals, you will definitely be at a disadvantage. If you want to win or survive, you need great skills and various factors, and your hard power is not enough.

And sure enough, after [80], every point exchanged already requires 2000 self-discipline points.

Of course, with every improvement, the growth of various body data will gradually increase.

"It's done, my lord! This is the credit you said within three months, isn't it?"

Dian Wei came from a distance, his face covered with sweat, and the soldiers and horses of the Southeast Battalion he led were standing under the ridge of the field to wipe their sweat, and they also took a break to talk to each other.

Obviously, it was the soldiers in the army who started asking questions.

After all, although this sentence stabilized the morale of the army and made them feel at ease to listen to Dianwei, the only credit for it recently was to dig the canal.

The matter of water conservancy is an internal affair, and of course it is an achievement in Diannong Institute, and it belongs to Xu Zhen's political achievements.

However, it is not decent to use this to divide more than two thousand people, right?
These days, in addition to repairing water conservancy, it is to reclaim the wasteland, or to sprinkle ash on the existing soil to nourish the soil quality.

In short, every day was very fulfilling, and it was the same for several days, which gradually made the soldiers feel a little restless.

I can only mention a word to Dian Wei, to ask Xu Zhen how he plans to divide the merits.

At this time, Xu Zhen blinked and said: "Your military camp and your soldiers, why do you still ask me for meritorious service?"

"Eh!? This!? That's not what you said at the time!!" Dian Wei became anxious immediately.

This breaks promises in the future, how to lead soldiers, let alone lead soldiers, people will be like an empty sack, no matter how hard they can stand upright.

"My lord, you are not cheating me, are you?"

Xu Zhen patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Oh, three months is not too long and not too short. Isn't it a credit to go to the territory to sweep up some bandits at will? When I asked you to say meritorious service, I didn't say whether it was a great service or not. Xiaogong, right?"

"This, this can't be like this, absolutely not!" Dian Wei sat down on the ground without hesitation, there was no one else anyway.

"I can't say such words!"

"Oh, I fell for your big trick!"

Dian Wei's originally ferocious face suddenly burst into tears, dejected and remorseful.

I shouldn't believe it, you scholars are really too stupid...

"However, if you really want to make great achievements, it's not impossible, it depends on whether you dare or not."

At this time, Xu Zhen pointed out something again, and his tone was hanging on Dian Wei, making him want to stop.

Dian Wei got up after a while, "Dare, don't dare, you can risk your life. If I really shame people, it will be uncomfortable to be forced to die."

　I will correct the typos tomorrow, thank you handsome guys for catching bugs.

　　Immediately the next update, ask for some data, okay.
