Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Cao Cao took the information about the Xiliang Army and read it over and over again. Jia Rong has always been Cao Cao's biggest enemy. Since he fled Luoyang that year, this idea has never disappeared. So far, Jia Rong has too many mysteries, such uncertain factors, Cao Cao's idea is to completely kill it in its infancy, but the Eighteenth Route princes have not broken through the west guarded by weak soldiers. The Liang army, more than [-] coalition troops still failed to break through the Xiliang army. Cao Cao knew that it was very difficult to wipe out the Xiliang army.

Wanting to understand this, Cao Cao relaxed a little. The most important thing back then was to step up the pace of Cao Jun's invasion and expand the territory.

Cao Cao aimed at Liu Bei in Xuzhou. Before attacking Xuzhou, the soldiers were frustrated in Pengcheng. Xuzhou became a lump in Cao Cao's heart. Moreover, when the coalition forces attacked Hangu Pass, Zhang Fei once attacked Cao Jun, which also became Cao Cao. The reason for this dispatch.

"My lord, Xuzhou is guarded by Liu Bei's army, and the army is strong and the people are attached to it. It is not easy to get it." Xun Yu said.

Cao Cao nodded slightly: "It is imperative to take Xuzhou to war. We will not kill the counties and counties we have taken refuge in, and we will open the city gates voluntarily. The original positions will not change. Those who make meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and those who have done wrong will be punished."

Hearing this sentence, Xun Yu's face was relieved. He thought that Cao Cao still didn't let go of the hatred in his heart, and wanted to avenge the dead family members. Putting aside the hatred, Xuzhou is indeed an important state and county for the big man. Well-off, after occupying Xuzhou, it will be of great benefit to Cao Jun's big moves in the future.

"Xuzhou Liu Bei is no small matter. He claims to be a member of the royal family. He governs the place with great benevolence and justice. Brothers who are sworn brothers, since Liu Bei started his army, he has made meritorious service for him many times." Xi Zhicai analyzed.

"That's true, I don't know what is the best strategy for the army to attack Xuzhou?" Cao Cao glanced at the counselors in the room. A meeting of this level does not require the participation of generals. Compared with the system of the Xiliang Army, Cao Cao believes in the counselors. ability.

Mao Jie said: "Conquering Xuzhou is not difficult. Our army is powerful. The Xuzhou army has rarely experienced wars. How can it be an enemy? We only need to benefit the defenders in the city and arrange the people in the city properly. Seeing this, why don't you open the door and accept the surrender? Besides, most of Zhang Fei is reckless, and he can be captured in a single battle."

Cao Cao showed displeasure when he heard the words. Mao Jie's words implied some dissatisfaction with Cao Cao's previous style of work in Xuzhou, but Mao Jie's words were quite satisfactory, "Okay, according to everyone's words, in the future, the army will march out and attack Xuzhou!"

Emperor Han died, and the officials in the court were idle, but they were not idle, calling friends and discussing matters. In short, they almost never stopped, "A country cannot live without a king!" A new emperor ascends the throne and takes charge of the world. In the hearts of ordinary veterans, this big man still belongs to the Liu family. In order to defend the country, even if he dies, Cao Cao and other princes should elect a new emperor to stabilize the world. .

After the death of Emperor Han, Cao Cao indulged a lot of officials in the city, regardless of his care, and let these ministers fight there, but their every move is hard to escape. He didn't want to appear again when the army attacked Xuzhou The last scene.

After responding to Liu Biao and Liu Yan, Sun Ce ascended to the throne as the King of Wu and enfeoffed all the officials. At this time, Jiangdong was under the management of Sun Ce. Zhongda shines brilliantly and is highly valued, especially recently Sun Ce has acquired a navy general named Jiang Qin, who is superb in water martial arts and has rules in running the army, so he is highly valued. .

Sun Ce's proclaiming the king has stimulated the princes of the Central Plains to a certain extent, especially Yuan Shao of Jizhou and Cao Cao of Yanzhou. Weight, if you become king, it will definitely arouse the resentment of some of the counselors. Although the Han emperor died, the Han family still has a great influence in people's hearts. For example, Xun Yu and Xun You, some of the policies of the two towards Cao Cao Dissatisfied, but Liu Biao and Liu Yan's claiming the king did not touch the bottom line, after all, they are the clan of the Han family.

Cao Cao gathered [-] soldiers and horses to conquer Xuzhou, nominally to repay Zhang Fei's attack on the barracks at Hangu Pass. After the counties and counties along the way were defeated, they did not raise the butcher's knife, but went out to calm the people and restore the normal life of the people. After Cao Cao's previous actions, the number of people in counties and counties along the way dropped sharply.

When Liu Bei learned that Cao Cao led an army to attack Xuzhou again, he was shocked. He hurriedly summoned his civil servants and generals to discuss countermeasures. up.

Liu Bei set his sights on Chen Deng. This person is more than a bit stronger than Sun Qian, and he is scheming and has a deep city. Although Liu Bei doesn't like it very much, there are too few advisers under his account at this time, so he can only trust Chen Deng. , with Xuzhou Mu's support, the Chen family's land in Xuzhou will rise for you, and there is a faint momentum to surpass the Cao family.

"My lord, it was really unwise for Cao Cao to attack Xuzhou. Back then, Cao Cao led 10 troops to attack Xuzhou. After breaking through the counties and counties along the way, there were few people left alive, and the villages were looted. After years of recovery, the number of people has increased slightly. , but I am afraid of Cao Jun in my heart, especially the county magistrates and guards. With [-] people, it is more than enough to resist Cao Cao, so you don't need to worry about it." Chen Deng analyzed.

Liu Bei's face showed a gleam of joy. When he came to Xuzhou, not only the number of troops increased, but also the counselors got Chen Deng. Although Chen Deng always liked to do everything for his family, but this time the Cao army attacked the city, the whole Xuzhou was in danger. Liu Bei didn't believe it. He didn't die.

"Okay, in Master Chen's opinion!" Liu Bei clapped his hands. After Mi Zhu, Chen Deng became Xuzhou's second driver, with a prominent position in the city. Even Sun Qian, who had followed Liu Bei for many years, was overwhelmed by him.

"Second brother, you lead [-] soldiers and horses to garrison Pengcheng. When Cao's army arrives, you will surely see how powerful our Xuzhou army is." With soldiers and food in hand, Liu Bei's ambition swelled, and he wanted to fight Cao Cao on the battlefield. male and female.

Guan Yu's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and he cupped his fists and said, "No!"

"The rest are waiting for dispatch!" Liu Bei said.

Seeing that Guan Yu had a battle to fight, and he could only stay in the city, Zhang Fei was a little unhappy, and said in a loud voice: "Brother, how come the second brother can lead the army to fight, but I can only stay in the city, my old man Zhang hasn't rushed to the battlefield for a long time, and his hands are itchy."

Chen Deng couldn't help smiling slightly. Zhang Fei is very funny, but sometimes he is very unreasonable. There is a kind of scoundrel in it. If Liu Bei's army doesn't count Zhang Fei, he will keep muttering, such a person He is sociable and straightforward, unlike Guan Yu who always has a straight face and never knows what is going on in his heart.

"Okay, the third brother is also a general in the army. You lead 1 people to station in Xiapi. You are not allowed to leave the city without orders." Liu Bei ordered.

Seeing that he didn't have to stay in the boring city, Zhang Fei's face looked a little better. He clasped his fists and said yes, as long as he stays away from Liu Bei, why worry about no battles to fight? The idea hit these people, as for Liu Bei's order, he didn't take it into his heart at all, so why worry about Liu Bei blaming himself when he has military exploits.

Since the first city was properly settled by Cao Cao, and there was no bloody incident, the counties along the way surrendered one after another. Cao's army was strong, but Liu Bei did not send troops to come. It was obvious that he regarded them as abandoned sons and surrendered. What pressure, Cao Cao led the army all the way to the foot of Pengcheng. Seeing that the city was lined with swords and guns, the army was quite majestic, and the moat that was filled back then became wider, so Cao Cao was not in a hurry.

When Cao Jun attacked Xuzhou, Yuan Shao was not happy. At the beginning of the alliance of the princes, Liu Bei supported him. What's more, when Cao Cao captured Xuzhou, his strength would rise sharply. How could he let Cao Cao's family become bigger.

"Send [-] troops to Qingzhou, Cao Jun will be overwhelmed." Yuan Shao said coldly.

"My lord, why do we need 5 people? Only 1 people are enough. The last time my lord took Qingzhou, a county and a country by surprise, Cao Cao must have been wary. Before attacking Xuzhou, he decided to arrange heavy troops in Qingzhou. This time The attack on Qingzhou was just to give Liu Bei an idea, our army only has Jizhou, and there are nearly 20 soldiers, the common people cannot afford it, and I hope the Lord will make a decision soon!" Tian Feng said.

Yuan Shaohui was wrong, he thought Tian Feng was asking him to disarm the army, so he immediately turned his face down, and almost shouted angrily: "The army is the guarantee for the people of Jizhou to survive. Without the army, they would have been invaded by the Yellow Turbans from Montenegro long ago. , was looted by Cao Jun, how can there be a peaceful Jizhou today, what do these foolish people know."

Xu You took the opportunity to say: "My lord, since our army is strong, why not take the opportunity to expand the territory. In this way, not only the soldiers in the army have an account, but our army can also own more land."

The corners of Tian Feng's eyes trembled slightly. He had originally thought this way. He was about to explain it, but Xu You blocked him. He expected that this matter would also cause trouble in Yuan Shao's heart. Tian Feng and other counselors also had a clearer understanding, and they must have talents, but Yuan Shao was so happy, he liked to listen to good words, and he didn't like to listen to bad words, and he had to pretend to be very wise in everything.

Yuan Shao was overjoyed and said: "Master Xu's words won my heart, I don't know where to attack?"
