Chapter 139
'Heroic talent too! '

Guo Jia's expression remained unchanged, and he was even more satisfied with Cao Cao.In fact, he knew that Cao Cao had already ordered the troops to be deployed. At such a time, "changing orders from day to day" was the most likely to cause the soldiers to rebound and severely damage Cao Cao's prestige.

Cao Cao's ability to assess the situation, regardless of his prestige, and courage to make decisions is the character of a great event!

As Guo Jia expected, forcibly recruiting the soldiers still caused dissatisfaction among the soldiers. Cao Cao executed more than 30 people violently by means of thunder. Attack Puyang.

The soldiers were very tired and dissatisfied, so naturally they walked slowly.

Cao Cao tried his best to appease, and even hinted that he could act at will in Puyang, which encouraged the soldiers to speed up.

Cao Cao is 35 years old, and he can't stand such a marching speed.

He sat on the horse and looked at Guo Jia, who had never touched a drop of alcohol these days, and said, "Feng Xiao, why didn't you join forces with the rebels who attacked Dingtao? Bridge rebellion?"

Guo Jia heard Cao Cao's intention to ask for advice, so he raised his spirits and said, "The general is worried that Dingtao will fall and become a lone army?"

If Ding Yuan of Dingtao can't hold it, then the land of Yanzhou will fall into the hands of Qiao Mao and others, and Cao Cao's thousands of people will really become a lonely army.

Sitting on the horse, Cao Cao looked at Dingtao's direction and said, "It's not that Cao Cao is greedy for life and afraid of death, and can't take risks. I'm worried about Dongdu."

Guo Jia understood, and said: "If Emissary Ding can't hold on, and the rebels go straight to Chenliu and threaten Luoyang, the world will indeed be terrified. There is absolutely no room for generals in the imperial court. However, according to my judgment, Emissary Ding will no longer be able to stand. It will not be a problem to defend for ten days, and by then, the general will have captured Puyang."

When Cao Cao heard this, he said, "What if Qiao Mao and the others put all their eggs in one basket and went straight to Luoyang?"

Guo Jia smiled and said: "Your Majesty knows the general's strategy, how can you not take precautions?"

Cao Cao frowned secretly, said nothing, and continued to march.

Guo Jia was awakened, looked at Cao Cao's thin side face, and said nothing.

Cao Cao's reputation in the imperial court was very bad. If Cao Cao allowed the rebels to defeat Ding Yuan and advance to Luoyang, even if he had the credit for capturing Puyang, he would not be able to match the swordsmen in Luoyang.

But Cao Cao didn't mention a word and continued to go north.

'I really chose the right person! 'Guo Jia's sleepy expression cheered up a lot.

But at this moment, Xiahoudun had just arrived in Chenliu with an "army of [-]", and Xiahoudun ignored Ding Yuan's urging letters.

Jiyin Dingtao.

On the top of the city, Ding Yuan watched the rebels recede like a tide again, his face was not the slightest bit happy.

He is not tall, with a high nose, protruding cheeks, and a thin beard, giving people a greasy and treacherous look.

At this time, a tall and heroic man in his early thirties came up from the city, with a fierce face, piercing eyes, and a murderous look.

"Father, why don't you let me hunt down those rebels!?" Lu Bu said loudly as soon as he came up.

Ding Yuan looked at him with annoyed expression on his face, and said: "Then Cao Cao won't come, how dare I let you go? Qiao Mao and others look down on me, really think I can't see the ambush in that forest?"

Lü Bu was startled, and immediately followed with an ugly expression, and said in a cold voice, "Father, Cao Cao is making it clear that he wants to put his father to death!"

Ding Yuan's eyes flashed hatred, and he turned his head to look outside the city.

The rebel army is not far away, forming a village like clouds, stretching endlessly, it seems that there must be as many as 7 to [-] people!
In Dingtao City, however, there are only [-] remnants and defeated generals, and it is not easy to defend until today.

Seeing Ding Yuan's expression, Lu Bu understood, and said, "Father, the military rations in the city won't last for three days."

Ding Yuan naturally knew that he hated Cao Cao even more in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

Seeing that Ding Yuan was silent, Lu Bu took a step forward and said in a low voice, "Father, the rebels sent a letter of surrender, saying that the father is the third father...I have already killed the man who came."

Ding Yuan nodded. He was determined not to surrender to the rebels. He snorted coldly and said, "How can you betray the master for glory? Kill well!"

Lu Bu nodded heavily, he thought so too.

At night, Ding Yuan patrolled the city again, wearing armor, watching the flames of the rebel camp not far away, reflecting half of the sky, with a heavy heart.

"Father, it seems that the rebels are about to pull out their camp!" Lv Bu, who was much taller, said suddenly.

Ding Yuan stood on tiptoe fiercely and looked carefully.

I saw the torch swimming suddenly, like a fire dragon, and seemed to be far away.

"Did you lure me out of the city?" Ding Yuan looked suspicious.

Lu Bu also didn't know why, and said, "Father, I'll go out of the city to investigate!"

Ding Yuan grabbed him, thought and thought, and said, "Be careful!"

Seeing that Ding Yuan cared so much about him, Lu Bu nodded heavily, took a few people down from the hanging basket, and went straight to the rebel camp to investigate.

Half an hour later, Lu Bu came back overjoyed, and said, "Father, Cao Cao raided Shanyang County and captured Changyi. According to the rebel prisoners, Cao Cao has sent troops to Dongjun, and Qiao Mao and others had to go back to defend." !"

Not only was Ding Yuan not happy, but he became even more skeptical, and said: "A [-]-strong army raided Changyi by surprise... No matter the distance, or the whole journey without a sound, it is absolutely impossible! Most likely the rebels wanted to lure me to pursue them and lay in ambush I!"

Lu Bu just thought about it and said, "Father is wise!"

An army of [-] people, hiding from everyone all the way, bypassing Chenliu and Jiyin, and rushing to attack Shanyang County, still took Changyi smoothly, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible!
A sneer appeared in Ding Yuan's eyes, and he said: "Order all the soldiers to stand ready, and no one is allowed to rest today!"

"Take orders!" Lu Bu shouted.

Ding Yuan stood at the top of the city, watching the torches of the rebels scrambling and gradually moving away, he sneered in his heart, standing on the top of the city, he did not move.

On the other side, Cao Cao was like a broken bamboo, breaking through Chengyang, bypassing Lei Ze, and approaching Xiancheng, the gateway of Puyang without stopping.

As an ordinary small county.

Xu Si, who had just taken office as county magistrate, faced Cao Cao's army approaching the city before he had time to do anything.

On the top of the city, all the county magistrates and officials around Xu Si were all frightened and appalled.

This Cao Cao, rumored to be still in Chenliu, unexpectedly killed all the way from Shanyang County to Dongjun County!

Cao Cao rode on a horse and stood not far from the city, pointing at Xu Si and yelling at him, saying: "Xu Si, as a Han subject, you betrayed the master and conspired against you, and you are despised by the world! Today Cao Cao is ordered to hunt for thieves, so you are willing to abandon the dark and turn to the bright." , make atonement!"

Xu Si's face was slightly pale. Seeing that Cao's army was boundless and Xiancheng was bound to be difficult to defend, he raised his hand and said loudly: "General Cao, the officials and others did not conspire to rebel, they were coerced by the rebels. Open the door today. Will the general take us in or not?" ?”

Cao Cao's long and narrow eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he shouted: "If you and the others have not rebelled, Cao Cao should accept it. There is still a shortage of Zhonglang in our army, are you willing to give in?"

Xu Si Yao raised his hand and said: "Xu Si believes in General Cao, but the officials and people in the city are worried. Please General Cao swear in public that he will not slaughter any soldier or civilian in Xiancheng."

Cao Cao's murderous intent became stronger, but his face remained unchanged, and he swore the oath in public.

Above Xiancheng, Xu Si and others were overjoyed when they saw this, and shouted: "General Cao, wait a moment, I will open the door immediately."

Cao Cao sat still on his horse and watched Xu Si go down the tower.

Guo Jia stepped forward and said, "What is the general going to do?"

Cao Cao turned his head when he heard the words, and said: "My original intention is to use their mouths to find out the truth of Dong Jun and Qiao Mao and others. What's Feng Xiao's idea?"

Guo Jia's description was more haggard than before, his face turned pale, and he said: "The bridge must have returned to the army, the general can't stay."

Cao Cao hummed, and looked back at the soldiers who brought him with a heavy heart.

He was fine on the horse, but the soldiers ran all the way, and many of their shoes were worn out, and many soldiers even fell asleep while walking on the road.

Not long after, the gate of Xiancheng opened, and Xu Si welcomed Cao Cao into the city.

Cao Cao immediately rode his horse and came to the front. While ordering the soldiers to enter the city, he smiled and greeted Xu Si politely.

Xu Si still looked uneasy, raised his hands, forced a smile and said: "I am visiting friends in Dongjun, I don't want to be coerced by the rebels, I believe that the general will not give up, take me in, and please accept me for the grace of rebuilding." bye."

Xu Si took the lead, and more than a dozen officials, big and small, from the county fell to the ground in unison.

Cao Cao waited for them to bow down, and then hurriedly stepped forward, helped Xu Si up, and said, "Mr. is a well-known scholar in Jingzhou. How could Cao Cao really believe that Mr. is rebelling, please get up!"

Xu Si and the others felt a little relieved, and all laughed together.

"General, please enter the city." Xu Si said.

With a serious face and a smile on his face, Cao Cao took Xu Si into the city together.

But within a short time, Cao Cao completely controlled the county, confiscated the money and food, and chatted with Xu Si in a 'rest assured' manner.

"What, there are forty to fifty thousand people in Puyang?"

Cao Cao looked at Xu Si with a shocked expression.

Guo Jia, who was on the side, stared at Xu Si and said, "Qiao Mao has only 2 people in Dongjun. Even if other rebels are recruited, the maximum number in his hands is no more than 3000. Attack Dingtao with [-] people. [-], [-] in Taishan County, and no more than [-] in Puyang, how can he have so many soldiers?"

Xu Si glanced at Guo Jia in surprise, and seeing Cao Cao's eyes seemed to be eating people, he said quickly: "That's right, the general doesn't know, these people are from Jizhou."

"Jizhou!"

Cao Cao and Guo Jia looked at each other with the same shock in their eyes.

Seeing this, Xu Si didn't wait for Cao Cao to ask questions, and then explained: "Part of it is the gold gangsters that Qiao Mao has been in contact with for a long time, and the other part is because he was expelled from Jizhou because he opposed Yingshijun, and he had to go to Qiao Mao. It was Jizhou who participated in the rebellion."

Cao Cao didn't relax at all, looked at Guo Jia, and remained silent.

They rushed all the way, because they expected that there were not many soldiers in Puyang, but now there are 5 to [-] more soldiers, which completely disrupted their plan!

5 to [-] people, with their [-] to [-] exhausted troops, can't take it down at all!

Qiao Mao is returning to the army, and they can't take Puyang. They have no way to advance or retreat, but defeat!
"General Cao, don't worry,"

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Xu Si suddenly said: "As far as I know, Mr. Yingshi has led [-] troops, and he is not far from Guantao."

Guo Jia's eyes lit up, and he said to Cao Cao, "General, don't worry!"

Guantao is in the north of Dongjun, and the current situation has become that Cao Cao and Ying Shao are attacking Dongjun from both sides!
Cao Cao's expression changed, and he laughed calmly and said: "I will immediately write a letter to Emissary Ding, asking him to lead his troops to the north and join forces with us to defeat Puyang, wipe out the Qiaomao rebels, and pacify Yanzhou!"
