The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 68 Brother, Don’t Panic, Watch My Old Zhang Shoot Cao Cao’s Head

It is the first case in the world that Cao Jun entered the town of Xuzhou and did not commit any crimes against the common people.

For the people who have experienced wars in these years, where have they seen such an army.

Whether it was among the Yellow Turbans who had revolted before, or the armies of the princes who were in the flames of war afterwards.

These troops, that way is not burning, killing and looting, and that way is not forcibly collecting taxes.

Someone like Cao Jun is unheard of.

Mutual trust starts from the subtleties.

With the Yanzhou policy at the forefront, most people gradually heard about Yanzhou.

And with the implementation of the policy of dividing the land, this trust began to increase.

Now, the Xuzhou towns under Cao Jun's command have completely changed their perception of Cao Jun.

Under such circumstances, people's hearts gradually stabilized.

In time, these Xuzhou towns will become towns under Yanzhou's command, so there is no problem at all.

There are not many problems recorded in the slips.

In addition to the stability of these towns, the people sing praises.

Most of them were trivial things, and Cao Cao's case had piled up a lot of such things.

Putting down the slip in his hand casually, Xi Yu glanced at Cao Cao and the two in front of him.

"The hearts of the people are available!"

It is not beyond Xi Yu's expectation that the towns of Xuzhou under Cao Jun's command are so stable.

Generally speaking, in such a town, the hearts of the people are somewhat inclined to Cao Jun.

Of course, the people who have lived in Xuzhou for generations still have some feelings for Xuzhou itself, and it is normal for some people to hold a wait-and-see attitude.

There are some aristocratic families behind them, which is not a problem.

For the current plan, if the entire Xuzhou can be annexed in one go, it would be the best thing for Cao Cao's camp.

If Yanzhou and Xuzhou can be occupied at this point in time, the power of Cao Cao's camp will be greatly improved.

The four words that Xi Yu blurted out made Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai in front of them look at each other and smile.

The two have the same perception of the present as Xi Yu.

Now the hearts of the people in the Xuzhou towns and cities under their command are really towards them.

In the past, it took years or even decades to win people's hearts. There is an effect in just over a month.

All of this is due to Xi Yu!

Cao Cao looked relieved, seeing that Xi Yu was at the side again. At this moment, he was advancing all the way, annexing the entire Xuzhou in one go before the end of the year.

At that time, it will be a good time for Yanzhou to celebrate the New Year!

"Fengyi, can our army capture the entire Xuzhou in one go before the year?"

Cao Cao was full of ambition, and the beard on the corner of his mouth trembled slightly. At this moment, he seemed to see the scene where the whole Xuzhou had been gathered under his command!

In the future, it will be to pacify the entire Han world and seal the title of Marquis!
For a while, Cao Cao's thoughts drifted away uncontrollably.

Xi Yu glanced at the other party indifferently, and Xi Zhicai beside him narrowed his eyes slightly.

Capture Xuzhou in one breath?

This kind of thing is not difficult, it is not difficult to say it is difficult, it is actually quite difficult to say it is not difficult.

There is still a big gap between the territory of today and the territory of later generations.

The war between Yanzhou and Xuzhou may not even be able to get out of a large province in future generations.

However, this era is not comparable to later generations, there are no ships and artillery.

Fighting with cold weapons is more about human lives!
Some things are not as simple as imagined. Only those few words in the history books can be seen in reality before you know how tragic it is.

Although Cao Jun captured more than a dozen towns in Xuzhou in a row, these towns were more or less bloody.

Surrendering the whole city also depends on the situation.

It doesn't make sense because you Cao Cao is here, the whole Xuzhou raised their hands and gave Xuzhou to you.

Xi Yu originally thought that he could annex the whole of Xuzhou in one go.

But looking at it now, it is not easy to annex the entire Xuzhou in one go before the end of the year.

Although the hearts of the people are available, the people of this era, after all, speak as they say.

Those who control the world today are those aristocratic families that have been passed down for a long time.

The people of the whole world are attached to these aristocratic families, and some concepts cannot be reversed in a short time.

It is too difficult to capture the entire Xuzhou before the New Year's Eve.

Those aristocratic families in Xuzhou would not agree at all, and if Cao Cao pushed harder, the whole of Xuzhou would probably be twisted into one rope.

Probably, it was because of this reason that Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou three times in a row in history!

Of course, because of Cao Cao's massacre of the city, Xuzhou was deeply distressed by Cao Jun.

But now it's different!

If you can advance slowly, like boiling frogs in warm water, capturing Xuzhou will not be a problem.

After clearing his mind, Xi Yu raised his head and glanced at Cao Cao who was looking at him expectantly.

"Disaster!"

"It is very difficult to capture Xuzhou in the first month of the new year!"

Without hesitation, Xi Yu poured a basin of cold water on Cao Cao, dispelling the other party's series of sweet dreams.

Cao Cao came back to his senses, the light in his eyes was obviously a little weaker.

Xi Zhicai beside him was also a little helpless, he had already analyzed the situation in Xuzhou in his mind before.

Sure enough, his brother's opinion was not much different from his own.

Wanting to capture the entire Xuzhou in one go, such a thing can't be solved in a month or two.

Now that the Han court is still there, some people will not sit back and watch Cao Cao annex the entire Xuzhou in one go.

What's more, the whole of Xuzhou will not just sit back and watch Cao Jun annex the whole of Xuzhou.

"Is it really impossible?"

Cao Cao was still a little reconciled. If he couldn't annex Xuzhou in one go, then what's the point of his laborious battle?
"What does brother mean when he said that there is no possibility?"

Looking at Cao Cao who was frowning tightly, Xi Yu looked at Cao Cao with a slight smile on his lips.

The latter looked up: "Of course it is to annex Xuzhou!"

"I thought my brother was talking about daring to annex Xuzhou before the New Year's Eve!"

Xi Yu took a deep breath, and looked slowly at the flames in the furnace in front of him.

After taking the initiative to pick up a piece of black charcoal and throwing it into the stove, Xi Yu spoke again.

"It is somewhat difficult to annex Xuzhou before the end of the year."

"Fang's world is still undecided, and the Han court is still there. My brother is now attacking Xuzhou and all the princes in the world are watching."

"But this time the elder brother occupies the righteousness, the princes of the world naturally have no action."

"However, if brother really wants to annex the entire Xuzhou in one go, I'm afraid it will attract fear from all around!"

"What's more, although the Han court is showing weakness, if Tao Qian asks the Han court for help in desperation, how will my brother respond when the emperor's edict comes down?"

Xi Yu looked at Cao Cao and spoke lightly.

If you want to grow bigger in one go, if you can solve it quickly, it will not be a problem.

However, less than two months is too short after all.

It is impossible for Yuan Shao in the north not to see this no matter how stupid he is.

Right now Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou is just to avenge his father, and Yuan Shao will naturally not say anything, even his counselors will only turn a blind eye.

However, if they really occupy the land of the two states, how could Yuan Shao's people be able to sit still.

At that time, Yuan Shao might put aside the matter of competing for Youzhou with Gongsun Zan first, and instead make his little brother suffer.

But now, it is not a good thing for Cao Cao to want to face Yuan Shao, who has a profound background.

What's more, there is Yuan Shu watching from the south.

If it really caused the princes to join forces to attack, the whole Yanzhou would not be able to stop it.

But far away, if Tao Qian really asks the Han court for help, Cao Cao will be at a loss with an imperial edict.

To accept or not to accept?
"This?"

Xi Yu's words made Cao Cao's scalp tingle, and after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case.

However, now that Xuzhou has been captured, it seems that he only needs to use his strength to annex the whole of Xuzhou.

How could he be willing to let him give up like this?
"Could it be that our army can't capture Xuzhou?"

Cao Cao was a little smug, and the words he blurted out subconsciously became a little anxious.

Xi Yu shook his head: "Brother, don't worry!"

"It's not that we can't annex Xuzhou, but we can't be too impatient!"

"Our army's attack on Xuzhou this time naturally cannot do useless work, and now the towns and cities under our command have seen miraculous results!"

"Brother, this time, you should rush forward slowly. I expect Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in the north will face each other again soon."

"At that time, the two are incompatible, and Yuan Shu in the south is nothing to worry about!"

"At that time, Xuzhou will no longer be able to resist his brother."

Xi Yu spoke slowly, and Xi Zhicai nodded accordingly.

It is definitely necessary to fight, but there is no need to fight so urgently right now.

By annexing Xuzhou little by little, it will neither force the whole of Xuzhou to death, but also give the other party a pretended breath.

It's a good idea.

Cao Cao sighed and thought carefully, but there was nothing wrong with what Xi Yu said.

For now, that seems to be the only way to go.

"Now, our army will start there first!"

Spreading out the map of Xuzhou on the table, Cao Cao raised his eyes and asked Xi Yu.

The latter moved his body to the side of the desk, and he saw the circle that Cao Cao had marked on the map.

Tancheng!

It seems to be where Liu Bei's garrison is located.

Almost subconsciously, Xi Yu looked up at Cao Cao, who was smiling with narrowed eyes.

"Brother, do you want to deal with Liu Bei first?"

Xi Yu's expression was a little playful, never thought that Cao Cao would take Liu Bei so seriously in his heart.

"Hmph, Cao Mou avenged his father this time, and none of the other princes sent troops. Only this Liu Xuande rushed over eagerly to be a good man?"

"He really thought Cao had no temper!"

Thinking of Liu Bei, Cao Cao couldn't help itching his teeth!
I issued an imperial edict this time, expressly saying that it was to avenge my father and hold the banner of righteousness.

Even before, he specially sent a letter to Liu Bei to explain the matter. He thought that the other party would not appear, but Liu Bei still came!

How can this not make Cao Cao angry.

He thought that Liu Bei and him were still friends, and they had a lot of contact with each other when they were in the alliance of princes.

At that time, he and the three Liu Bei brothers had a very happy conversation.

But now, Liu Bei doesn't give himself face so much, how can this not be annoying.

"Okay, Tancheng is not bad!"

Xi Yu nodded. Now Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan have won against Shangzangba and Sun Guan.

Xuzhou's morale is weak. If Cao Jun can defeat Liu Bei this time, the morale of the entire Xuzhou will inevitably be hit hard again.

As for Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others.

After all, Xi Yu is quite interested. Ever since he came to this era, Xi Yu still wanted to get to know famous people such as Liu Bei and Guan Yu in person.

Later generations have mixed opinions on Cao Cao and Liu Bei, but Xi Yu doesn't have much opinion on it.

Those who can be recorded in the history books and passed down have never been mediocre people.

What's more, one is Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty, and the other is Emperor Wu of Wei.

……

After Cao Jun's decision was made, the next day the army began to march in the direction of Tancheng.

And as Cao Jun's movements became clear, Liu Bei, who was in Tancheng for the first time, also received the news.

Tancheng Government Office.

Knowing that Cao Cao's army was coming to attack, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.

How can Tancheng, a small place in the East China Sea, stop Cao Cao's army from attacking?

With the addition of Tian Kai's soldiers and his current soldiers, there are no more than ten thousand soldiers at all times. How long can such soldiers hold off Cao Cao for a long time.

As soon as he received the news, Liu Bei made people rush to send the news back to Xuzhou City.

Tao Qian, who also received the news, glanced hard at Cao Bao when he heard the letter from Liu Bei's envoy.

"General Cao, lead your troops to help Liu Xuande, don't let Cao Cao invade our Xuzhou territory!"

Tao Qian was weak, and Cao Bao beside him couldn't help shaking hands.

"Shijun, can you really trust that Liu Xuande?"

Cao Bao glanced at Tao Qian with some doubts. He didn't have much contact with Liu Bei.

However, Cao Bao didn't feel very good about Liu Bei's escape this time.

Now Tao Qian asked him to bring Xuzhou's remaining soldiers and horses to help Liu Bei, but he was somewhat reluctant.

If the time comes, then Liu Bei will open the city and surrender, directly welcome Cao Cao in, and give up the city, what should we do?

But he heard that Liu Bei and Cao Cao still have some friendship.

"General Cao, don't be suspicious. Xuande is a man who understands righteousness and has the spirit of a benevolent man. He will never do what you think!"

"He can help me Xuzhou at this moment, if I retreat at this moment, how will the people of the world think of Xuzhou?"

Tao Qian forced himself up and looked at Cao Bao quietly.

At this time, he has realized more and more that he may not last long, and even if he recovers from his illness, he will not be able to recover to the time when he is young and strong.

He was somewhat confused about what the future of Xuzhou would be like.

"Go and help him!"

He can only temporarily pin his hopes on Liu Bei.

The other party was able to help Kong Beihai before, which was considered trustworthy.

Hearing what Tao Qian said, Cao Bao didn't say much after all. Tao Qian asked him to help Liu Bei this time, and he more or less understood the meaning.

Now Tao Qian is old, he followed Tao Qian early, and the other party is now thinking of him.

It would be a good thing for Cao Bao to have a good relationship with Liu Bei at this moment.

At least, in case Tao Qian really died one day, he, Cao Bao, would have something to rely on for the future.

"My lord, take care of your body, the last general will go!"

He bowed his hands towards Tao Qian, and then Cao Bao didn't delay any longer, except that the State Shepherd's Mansion took the other party's order and began to lead the army towards Tancheng.

At the same time, within Tancheng.

The spies came to report that Cao Jun would come to the city in a few days.

For such a situation, Liu Bei was a little panicked.

Since he was stationed in Tancheng, he has ordered his soldiers to start building the city wall. The originally narrow city wall of Tancheng is now more or less increased and expanded.

But still not enough!

After all, such a town is too small.

It's not a big city like Xuzhou City.

If such a town is defended, it will not last long at all. If it is really surrounded by Cao Cao's army, it will become a dead end by then.

In desperation, Liu Bei could only choose to station his soldiers and horses in front of the city wall of Tancheng, waiting for Cao Jun's army to come.

He more or less hoped to persuade Cao Cao to retreat before the two armies.

However, such thoughts still flashed through Liu Bei's mind after all.

It's been a while since he wrote the letter to Cao Cao, Cao Cao must have read it by now!

However, Cao Cao did not write back to himself.

The meaning it expressed couldn't be more obvious.

Cao Cao had no intention of retreating at all.

"Brother, what are you afraid of? Cao Cao is also a person who carries his head on his shoulders. There is nothing to be afraid of!"

"When it's too late, I, Old Zhang, will sprint straight to the enemy's formation, and pick Cao Cao's head back for the elder brother!"

Zhang Fei said carelessly that the fight was finally about to start, and he couldn't bear it any longer.

As soon as he said this, Liu Bei who was beside him gave him a quick look.

"Yide, stop talking nonsense!"

"Then Cao Cao is inside the central tent, even if you are brave, it will be difficult for you to rush in front of his central tent!"

When the two armies are fighting, it is said that they can rush over if they rush over. Do you really think that the generals and soldiers in front of Cao Cao are all blind?
Zhang Fei curled his lips and said nothing, but the eyes of Guan Yu and Zhao Yun beside him lit up at the same time.

For generals, taking the head of an enemy general among thousands of troops is the greatest compliment.

And if this is really possible, for him, it is the most dazzling thing in itself.

The corners of Guan Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and subconsciously he couldn't help thinking about it.

At that time, can you ride a horse and rush over to chop off Cao Cao's head?

Is this difficult?

Guan Yu thought it shouldn't be difficult!

Zhao Yun also clenched the long spear in his hand, and rode his horse across the enemy's formation, as if searching for something, taking the head of the enemy general is not bad.

Zhang Fei's words made the other two people beside him more or less eager to try.

And such a situation was naturally observed by Liu Bei, and he was a little surprised that the second brother, who was usually very stable, was also aroused by the third brother's words.

And Zhao Yun, who is as gentle as jade, is actually interested?
As for Tian Kai who was standing on the other side, he was already numb.

Ever since he got acquainted with Liu Bei and others, he felt that these three brothers were all fucking abnormal people.

Wanjun followed the crowd to take the head of the enemy general, what joke are you talking about? -
