The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 139 Entering Xiapi

"Enter the city?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly and looked at Mi Zhu again. Now the entire four gates of Xiapi have been surrounded by Cao Jun. If he wants to enter the city, he has to break through the siege of Cao Jun. It is really not that easy.

"Zi Zhong, the matter of our arrival must be known in the city now, so is it necessary?"

"I also know that the general's soldiers are actually good, but the general's soldiers are not enough. In a match against Cao Cao, I'm afraid we still lose more than we win, but Xiapi is different. Although my soldiers in Xuzhou have lost consecutive battles, it's not because our army is inferior. As for Cao Cao, Tao Gong has no one under his command! If you can have a general to lead the army, how can you be inferior to Cao Cao?"

It has to be said that Mi Zhu himself is also a very capable person, but it is quite touching when he speaks eloquently at this time.

"If the general can enter Xiapi, I would like to recommend the general in front of the lord to retreat Cao Cao. If the general wins Xuzhou soldiers, how can the general be invincible?"

Hearing this, Wei Tao's heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at Xun You.

"My lord, I think Mi Zizhong's words are very reasonable. Although the general has only a few thousand people, it is not difficult to kill Xiapi city. If you can enter Xiapi, you can use Xuzhou's soldiers to do things. It may not be possible. No. And if you want to get into Xiapi, it’s actually not difficult.”

Hearing these words, Wei Tao's heart moved slightly, maybe Zhou Yu and Xun You were involved in this matter.

At the beginning, both of them suggested that they just lead thousands of soldiers. It is not impossible to win more with less, but it is extremely difficult for Cao Cao, but if there are more soldiers from Xuzhou, this is not impossible. Zhi, could it be that you have already expected what is happening now?
Looking at Xun You's calm expression, Wei Tao thought it was very possible.

"Cao's army is well-organized, and it will be difficult to break in if we force it. I don't know what good strategy sir has?"

Wei Tao nodded slightly, then looked at Xun You and asked, since Xun You said it was not difficult, it was obvious that he had already made up his mind.

"There are no good strategies. Even if you can do it, it's just a trick. But I don't think the lord should worry. Although the strategy is good, it can't always be used blindly."

Xun You shook his head slightly, and said very seriously.

"This time, we want Cao Mengde to make way for himself. In fact, after a while, Tian Qingzhou and Kong Beihai will definitely come. Even Cao Cao's heroes will not be able to surround Xiapi like this. As the two armies confront each other, it will not be difficult to enter and leave Xiapi at that time, and only at that time is it possible for the Lord to compete with Cao Mengde."

Hearing Xun You's words, Wei Tao also understood Xun You's plan for himself. As for Mi Zhu, although he was a little helpless, he also had no choice but to keep silent.

In fact, this time Kong Rong and others came faster than I thought.

First of all, Pan Feng arrived only in the morning of the second day, joining the two armies, Wei Tao already had the strength to protect himself, Wei Tao immediately defended the gate of the village with peace of mind, and at the same time asked people to persuade Cao Cao repeatedly.

It's a pity that Cao Cao didn't want to pay attention to it at all, but stepped up the siege instead.

But on the third day, Kong Rong came leading the soldiers, and not only Kong Rong, but even Tian Kai led the Qingzhou soldiers.

Seeing that Tian Kai and Kong Rong arrived one after another, and the troops they brought were not weak, even Cao Cao didn't dare to disperse his troops among the four sects at will, and immediately withdrew his troops.

"Why is this?"

Although Cao Cao's withdrawal made Wei Tao very happy, Wei Tao was also very surprised why Kong Rong and Tian Kai came so quickly, and felt as if Xun You had already made up his mind.

"Hehe...My lord, I don't know, Tian Qingzhou is well-known and has friends with Tao Gongzu, so he has long wanted to come to the rescue, but he was afraid of Cao Mengde's power, so he hesitated and dared not send troops."

Wei Tao nodded, of course he knew about it, but he heard Xun You say it again.

"However, with the arrival of the lord first, and then with Kong Beihai, Tian Kai is not afraid. The three-party alliance, not to mention being able to overwhelm Cao Cao, but it is not a problem to confront him. Since saving his life is already It's not a problem, so why doesn't Tian Qingzhou save Xuzhou quickly?"

Xun You smiled, and replied indifferently.

It turned out to be so!
There are people like this, Wei Tao shook his head, I'm afraid Xun You had no intention of stopping the detour to Beihai before, that's why.

"Mr. is indeed a great talent!"

Maybe when the two armies are at war, I may not lose to a top strategist like Xun You if I set up all kinds of schemes, but if it is a scheme anytime and anywhere, I really can't compare to them.

But at the same time, a surge of joy rose from my heart. With the help of Xun You and others, He Chou couldn't achieve what he thought in his heart, and I would not just watch it happen.

"General, since Tian Qingzhou and Kong Beihai are here, they are stationed on both sides of Xiapi respectively, thinking that they are horns, and then I will enter Xiapi again to see what Tao Gongzu wants to do."

Xun You was indeed conscientious. Hearing what Xun You said, Wei Tao naturally would not refute it, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"it is good!"

Obviously, both Tian Kai and Kong Rong were a bit jealous of Cao Cao, and they immediately followed Wei Tao's suggestion after hearing Wei Tao's suggestion.

Afterwards, he and Wei Tao led the people straight to Xiapi.

Wei Tao didn't pay much attention to the others, but a rather heroic young man beside Kong Rong caught Wei Tao's attention.

"May I ask if this person is Donglai Taishici?"

Thinking of the possibility, Wei Tao deliberately took a step behind and asked the young general with a bow.

"Has the general heard of Taishi Ziyi?"

Tai Shici looked at Wei Tao in surprise.

Although the current Wei Tao is still less famous compared to Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others, in fact, what Wei Tao has done successively has made his reputation widely spread, and many people have heard of Wei Tao. name.

So seeing Wei Tao take the initiative to greet him, even Tai Shici couldn't help but feel joy in his heart.

"I once heard Kong Beihai say that Donglai Taishi Ziyi is a man of great filial piety. He is also courageous and can shoot a hundred shots with one hand. Now that the general is so heroic, he must be General Taishi."

Wei Tao smiled slightly, boasting a few words about Tai Shici in a calm manner.

Although Tai Shici is not the kind of person who likes to listen to sweet words, Wei Tao has a different identity after all.

Moreover, although Tai Shici was recruited by Kong Rong, he is still a person without official position. One can imagine the excitement in his heart to be so valued by Wei Tao.

"The general is over-reputed. It is a matter of course to serve his mother with kindness. It is not a great filial piety. As for the courage, how can you compare with the general?"

Tai Shici saluted Wei Tao and answered slowly, neither humble nor overbearing.

Hearing Tai Shici's answer like this, Wei Tao was even more delighted, this Tai Shici really has the qualifications of a generation of famous generals!
Wei Tao didn't talk with Tai Shici for a long time. The main reason is that Tai Shici is now Kong Rong's subordinate in name.

Fortunately, since Tai Shici has arrived, there are still many opportunities left, so Wei Tao doesn't need to worry.

Cao Cao did not send troops to stop Wei Tao and others from entering Xuzhou. In fact, when the three-way allied forces arrived, Cao Cao knew that it would be impossible to stop them.

What remains to be seen is the strength of the two parties.

As the lord of Xuzhou, Tao Qian still knew that everyone came to help him this time. He had led the people at the Xiapi city gate early on. When others opened their mouths, Tao Qian bowed heavily to everyone!
"Thank you all for coming to the rescue! On behalf of the people of Xuzhou, I thank you Gao Yi!"

While speaking, Tao Qian burst into tears, which made people feel sad at first sight. At first, he convulsed in a low voice, and then turned into howling and crying, and everyone who heard it was sad.

"I have pity on the innocent people in Xuzhou who suffered this calamity. It's all Qian's fault! If you can exchange Qianqian's body for the people to live in peace, Qianzhi will do what he wants!"

"Why does Gongzu need to be like this! Why is it necessary to be like this!"

Among the crowd, Tian Kai and Tao Qian had the best relationship. Seeing Tao Qian like this, he couldn't help but stepped forward to caress him and persuade him.

"Since we have come here, we must make Cao Cao pay the price for the people of Xuzhou."

"Lord Tao, don't worry, if Cao Mengde disturbs Gangchang and slaughters our Han people, it is an act of treason and injustice, and I will definitely condemn it!"

Kong Rong was also very angry.

However, the words of the two did not stop Tao Qian, on the contrary, it made him feel uncomfortable, crying hoarsely, and it seemed that he was willing to pay for it with his own life.

But for some reason, Wei Tao felt a burst of falsehood, as if Tao Qian shouldn't be like this.

Think about it carefully, if this Tao Qian is really so righteous, can he still sit in Xuzhou like this, just think about it, but he understands that it is not that simple.

It wasn't until after a lot of persuasion that Tao Qian restrained his crying and invited him into Xiapi City.

Among them, Wei Tao has been watching with cold eyes, at most he can persuade a few words at will.

After everyone entered Xiapi City Mansion, Wei Tao was even more disdainful. This mansion is extremely luxurious. In comparison, Tao Qian doesn't look like the kind of person who can sacrifice for others.

"Tao Gongzu is a man who is trying to catch fame, my lord, don't worry about it."

Xun You also whispered in Wei Tao's ear, only Wei Tao and him could hear his voice.

"However, judging by Tao Gongzu's posture, I'm afraid he won't hand over the military power easily, but just let people work for him. My lord doesn't need to pay more attention to it. Let's just watch his performance."

"Cao Cao's rebellion is a traitor for the country. If you don't punish him, I'm afraid it will be hard to convince the world. Now that you have come to help, let's get rid of him!"

As soon as he sat down, Tao Qian said impatiently.

"The survival of my Xuzhou is now entrusted to you sages, and I ask you sages to quickly take down Cao Cao to rectify the country's discipline!"

"This is my duty!"

Both Tian Kai and Kong Rong responded to Tao Qian's words, but Wei Tao didn't see the answer.
