The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 96
"kill!"

Although hundreds of defenders desperately resisted, it was a pity that they were a group of low-strength city guards, and they were few in number, so how could they possibly withstand the siege of Cao Cao's elite division.

Before half an hour, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were on the towers, all the defenders were killed, and the defenders were hacked to death with random knives. General Cao Chun led the army slowly into Ju County.

"Don't leave chickens and dogs!"

Looking at the people running around on the street, Cao Chun's eyes flashed sharply, and he ordered the massacre of the city.

"kill!!"

There is nothing to say, the elite army slaughtered the unarmed civilians without any hindrance at all. In an instant, Ju County became a hell on earth, with wailing and begging for mercy everywhere.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Report!"

"General, the scouts are here to report that General Cao Chun led an army of [-] to attack Ju County and ordered the massacre of the city. The people in Ju County have now been massacred by Cao Jun, and it is now a dead city!"

"What!" The vanguard Zhang Jaw's army had just arrived in Rumu County when they received an urgent report from scouts.After hearing the news, everyone couldn't believe that Cao Cao really dared to slaughter the city.

"Where is Cao Cao's army now?" Zhang Jai hurriedly asked about the movement of Cao Cao's army.

"General, Cao Cao's army has passed Ju County, Xiangliu County. Moreover, Cao Cao's vanguard general Cao Chun has [-] soldiers and horses at the city of Liu County." The school lieutenant in charge of intelligence hurriedly came out to answer.

"No, there is no army to defend Liu County, and it must have been captured by Cao Chun. Come here, and quickly report the affairs of Ju County to the lord, and our army will quickly go to Lu County, which is south of Liu County, to prevent Cao Cao's army from continuing. Go south!" Zhang Jai didn't expect Cao Cao's army to move so quickly, and they had already reached Liu County.

It must be too late for him to go to Liu County now, so he can only go to Lu County in the south of Liu County, hoping to stop Cao Cao somewhere. Although Zhang Jaw only has 2 horses, there is really no way now. If Cao Cao's army is not stopped, Then the whole Xuzhou does not know how many people will be slaughtered by Cao Cao.

"Cao thief dare to do this!" Liu Bei received the urgent report that Cao Cao really slaughtered the city, and Ju County thought it was an empty city. Now it is frightening that Liu County will be like Ju County.

In Xiapi City, where Xuzhou was governed, in the mansion of Tao Qian.

"What, Cao Cao slaughtered Ju County!"

"What should I do? Cao Cao dared to act like this."

"Cao Cao is crazy to avenge his father, and the people of Xuzhou are suffering too!"

When Pi received the news of Cao Cao's massacre of the city, everyone was terrified. They now knew that when Cao Cao invaded Xiapi, few people here would survive.

"Han Yu, Yuanlong will have a report, where is Liu Bei's army going?" Tao Qian seemed to be discouraged when he got the news of Cao Chong's massacre of the city.

"My lord, Yuanlong sent someone to report that Liu Bei has sent general Zhang Jai to lead [-] troops in the vanguard, and they have entered Langya County to meet Cao Cao's army. Liu Bei himself has led an army of [-] to the plains, so he should have entered Langya by now. "Chen Gui hurriedly stepped forward to answer, and at the same time, he also saw Tao Qian's old and helpless state clearly, and knew that his son Chen Deng's choice was right.

"Very good, quickly send someone to ask Liu Bei's army to speed up, and make sure to block Cao's bandits. In addition, order Langya County and Peng County, wherever Liu Bei's army goes, to provide full support, and prepare tents, food and grass, etc." Tao Tao Qian can't control whether Liu Bei will come or not, so he depends on his Xuzhou. What he has to do now is to stop Cao Cao's atrocities.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"My lord, Liu County has been dispatched. General Cao Chun ordered the massacre of the city. Now there are no more living people in Liu County." Cao Chun slaughtered another city and sent someone to inform Cao Cao.

"Okay! Zihe did a great job. He ordered his army to rest for a day, then marched into Lu County, and slaughtered Lu County!" Cao Cao jumped up excitedly when he heard that Cao Chun had slaughtered another city. People from Xuzhou were buried with his father.

"My lord, the crime is Tao Qian's fault. Don't hurt innocent people. It's enough to have people from two counties bury Mr. Cao with him." Dong Zhao couldn't stand it any longer. .

"Huh? Huh!" Cao Cao's mood turned gloomy after hearing Dong Zhao's words.

"My lord, do you want the world? Do you want to be safe?" Xi Zhicai, who had been silent since Cao Cao began to conquer Xuzhou, stepped forward.

He and Cheng Yu are both sensible people. Although a hero like Cao Cao sometimes acts as he pleases, his heart is in the world. After Cao Cao vents his anger, he can stop.

"I know the meaning of the military division." Cao Cao is definitely a person who listens to good words. The meaning of Xi Zhicai is very clear. If Cao Cao just wants to dominate one side, then it doesn't matter to massacre the people. If Cao Cao wants to rule the world, then stop The massacre of the city, after all, was not done by a benevolent lord, and it would be a big disappointment to the people.

"Order the vanguard general Cao Chun to stop the massacre and appease the people." Cao Cao immediately ordered to stop the massacre. Now that he has vented enough, it's time to get down to business.

"Military division, now that Liu Bei's army has entered Xuzhou and is coming towards our army, why should we respond?" Cao Cao took on the posture of a hero again. He did not come this time to massacre the people of Xuzhou to be buried with his father, but to take Xuzhou this rich land.

"My lord, Liu Bei just went through a big battle last year, and his troops were exhausted. He needed to defend Jizhou Yuan Shao, and Xi'an also needed to garrison a large army to guard against General Cao Ren's [-] troops. It's not as good as my lord this time. When Liu Bei's army arrives, he can break it. .”

"However, what I worry about is the food and grass of the army of the lord. The 20 army of the lord consumes a lot of food and grass every day, and the food road is far away, so we cannot fight for a long time."

"Liu Bei got Tao Qian's request, and he should get the food and grass from Xuzhou to help him, so he has no worries about the future. We can't fight with him. It is the best policy to fight and make a quick decision."

Seeing that Cao Cao has entered the state, Xi Zhicai also started his duty as a military adviser and began to advise Cao Cao.

"The words of the military adviser are very true, and I respect them." Cao Cao immediately made a decision.

"make!"

"Cao Chun's troops immediately captured Lu County, and then captured Pengcheng to occupy Pengjun."

"make!"

"Xia Houyuan led an army of [-] men, went straight to the city of Xiapi, captured Xiapi, and captured Tao Qian alive."

"The rest of the army, follow me to Zhiqiu City and wait for the arrival of Liu Bei's army."

Cao Cao immediately divided his troops, Cao Chun occupied Pengjun, Xiahouyuan went to occupy Xiapi County, and he personally led an army of 15 to the strategically important city, Steoqiu City at the intersection of Pengjun, Xiapi, and Langya, to block Liu Bei's army.

"Report!"

"My lord, Liu Bei's army Zhang Jaw has led an army of [-] to Yangdu City."

Cao Cao's army was on the way to Zhiqiu City when they received news from Zhang Jaw's army.In Yangdu City, the strategically important Zhiqiu City is to the south, and Lu County is to the west, and Cao Cao's 15 troops are about to go to Zhiqiu City from the middle of the two cities.
