After hearing Cao Bao's thoughts, Tao Qian looked at Chen Deng who was standing aside.

The house arrest of Cao Song failed, and it was analyzed that the bandits were sent by Cao Cao. Chen Deng's recent performance made Tao Qian very satisfied.

When Cao Bao heard Tao Qian's words, he looked at Chen Deng aside.

He looked down on Chen Deng before, thinking that Chen Deng was incompetent.

Chen Deng's analysis during this period made Cao Bao know that this person was not as simple as he thought.

Chen Deng was stunned for a moment when he heard Tao Qian's words. He didn't expect that Tao Qian would also ask him about military matters.

"What General Cao Bao said makes sense. Your soldiers will definitely be at a disadvantage if they fight with Cao Cao."

"The city walls of Xuzhou are strong and there is a lot of food and grass in the city."

"Once Cao Cao's army attacks Xuzhou, there will inevitably be great losses."

"My thoughts are the same as those of General Cao Bao. Your Excellency, you should defend Xuzhou instead of sending troops out of the city to fight Cao Cao."

Chen Deng looked at Tao Qian and said what he thought. After all, he is also an official under Tao Qian.

Even if he is dissatisfied with Tao Qian, he must fulfill his responsibilities.

Tao Qian nodded when he heard Chen Deng's words, Chen Deng Both Deng and Cao Bao suggested that he garrison Xuzhou instead of fighting with Cao Cao outside the city.

He himself had the same idea. In this case, he would defend Xuzhou this time and not go out of the city to fight Cao Cao.

"Everyone, once Cao Cao leads an army to attack Xuzhou, I have decided to garrison Xuzhou and not send troops out of the city and Cao Cao. I hope you can work together to defend Xuzhou."

Tao Qian looked at the civil and military ministers in the hall and told everyone his decision.

"Yes!"

Cao Bao, Chen Deng and other ministers all bowed their hands and saluted.

"Additional soldiers should also be deployed at the city gate, since defending Xuzhou City Gate is the most important."

Tao Qian looked at everyone and added something.

Cao Bao's mansion!

Cao Bao came out of the"340" of the Governor's Mansion without going to the military camp. He went directly back to his mansion.

He walked into the study and sat down with a military book to read it. After a while, Cao Bao put down his book of war with a look of anxiety on his face.

"master!"

The butler pushed open the door to the study, walked in and closed the door.

Cao Bao saw the butler coming in, with excitement on his face:"How is it?" Has the letter been delivered?"

When the housekeeper heard Cao Bao's words, he quickly took out a bamboo tube from his arms.

"Master, this is Cao Cao’s reply to you!"

Cao Bao quickly took the bamboo tube, took out the brocade cloth inside and read the contents.

A few days ago, the head of Tao Qian's envoy was sent back to Xuzhou by Yuan Shu. Cao Bao knew that the alliance between Yuan Shu and Tao Qian could no longer succeed.

Tao Qian wanted to He formed an alliance with Yuan Shu and did not hesitate to kill innocent soldiers to please Yuan Shu.

Cao Bao understood at that time that if one day Tao Qian needed to kill him to please others, Tao Qian would definitely kill him without hesitation.

During this period, Tao Qian's plan failed. , and he was dissatisfied with Tao Qian because of this.

Putting these things together, Cao Bao knew that even if Tao Qian could defend Xuzhou, he would not end well.

What's more, in his opinion, Tao Qian could not compete with Cao Cao. In this case, why Don't you choose to surrender to Cao Cao?

After thinking about this idea for a few days, Cao Bao thought it was okay.

Yesterday he asked the housekeeper to send someone to send the letter of surrender written by him to Yanzhou and hand it over to Cao Cao.

Today he came out of the Governor's Mansion and went directly to Cao Cao. He returned to his house.

He just wanted to see Cao Cao's reply. Fortunately, not long after he returned to his house, the housekeeper came to his study with a reply. He opened the brocade cloth and looked at the content on it. Cao Bao had a happy face.

"Sir, how did Cao Cao reply to you?"

The steward looked at Cao Bao and said softly.

The steward has followed Cao Bao for many years and won Cao Bao's trust. Otherwise, Cao Bao would not have entrusted him with such an important matter.

If Tao Qian knew that he had written a letter of surrender to Cao Cao, he would definitely be betrayed by Tao Qian. Qian was executed.

After hearing the butler's words, Cao Bao had a hint of joy on his face and said:

"General Cao has accepted my letter of surrender."

The steward also had a happy face when he heard Cao Bao's words. He and Cao Bao are one.

Only when Cao Bao lives well can he live a better life. Even though he is just a steward, he knows that Cao Cao is very powerful now.

If the master follows Cao Cao, he will have a bright future. , I, as a housekeeper, can also benefit from the master

"Congratulations, sir!"

The housekeeper looked at Cao Bao and quickly congratulated him.

"Cao Cao wrote in the letter that he would open the city gates in two days and that he would lead his army into Xuzhou at night."

"In this way, Xuzhou can be captured without bloodshed, and Tao Qian's death will be reached."

Cao Bao said with a sneer on his face.

He was loyal to Tao Qian and trained Xuzhou soldiers for Tao Qian.

However, Tao Qian failed to put Cao Song under house arrest and blamed him.

Later, he was even more dissatisfied with himself. He even asked him to personally order the execution of his own soldiers.

The steward frowned slightly when he heard Cao Bao's words. After a while, he looked at Cao Bao and said:

"Sir, Tao Qian has sent additional soldiers at the city gate today."

"Although the city gate is also managed by the master, it must be difficult to open the city gate in the dark, right?"

Cao Bao smiled when he heard the butler's words, and said with a hint of joy on his face:

"General Cao had already guessed your worries just now in the letter."

"His military advisor has already thought of a way to make Tao Qian relax his vigilance. The general only needs to open the city gate in two days to let Cao Cao's army enter the city."

"Cao Cao's military advisor? It was the man who helped Cao Cao capture Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass and defeat Lu Bu"

"The counselor who was forced by Dong Zhuo to kidnap the emperor and move the capital to Luoyang, and who ruined Tao Qian's plans several times?"

The steward had a look of surprise on his face when he heard Cao Bao's words.

Although he was just a steward, Cao Bao often told him some things on the battlefield.

The eighteen princes conquered Dong Zhuo, and he, the steward, also knew very well.

Including this paragraph When Tao Qian's plan failed, Cao Bao also told him

"You are right, it is this counselor."

Cao Bao said with a dignified look on his face. In the past, he didn't pay much attention to these counselors. Chen Deng's performance in the past few days had surprised him. The counselor beside Cao Cao who defeated Dong Zhuo Tao Qian was even more powerful than Chen Deng..

Such a counselor made Cao Bao feel a little afraid in his heart.

Cao Cao asked him to open the city gate, but he was still embarrassed. After all, Tao Qian had sent extra men at the city gate.

After seeing Cao Cao's letter, he said that his military adviser would have a way to let Tao Qian. Qian relaxed his vigilance.

Cao Bao also believed that the military advisor must have a solution. He only needed to open the city gate in two days.

"Only you and I know this news, be sure not to let anyone in the house know."

Cao Bao looked at the steward with a serious look on his face.

The steward had followed Cao Bao for many years and was loyal to him.

That's why he asked the steward to send someone to deliver the letter. He believed in the steward's loyalty.

"Don't worry, sir, I know what to say and what not to say."

There was a trace of solemnity on the steward's face.

Cao Bao picked up the military book again and thought about what he needed to pay attention to when opening the city gate in two days.

Yanzhou City! Today is the birthday of Cao Cao's father, Cao Song.

Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren early in the morning to arrange for the soldiers to be there. Deliver food to every household in the city

"Today is the birthday of General Cao Cao’s father in Yanzhou Mu. General Cao Cao specially asked his general to deliver food to you all in the city."

"Everyone, please line up, there is one for every household."

In Yanzhou City, Cao Ren arranged for soldiers to deliver food to the people in the most prosperous places.

Soon everyone in Yanzhou City knew that Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, celebrated his birthday today. In a secluded courtyard in Yanzhou City, there were two young man

"There are soldiers outside delivering food to the people, saying that today is the birthday of Cao Cao's father."

The long-haired man looked at the man with the scar at the corner of his eye and said.

"snort!"

"Cao Song is an old man. He is lucky that the lord failed to catch him."

"Now he is celebrating his birthday in Yanzhou City, and Cao Cao is still so grand"

"It seems that Cao Song lived a really good life."

The scarred man had a look of jealousy on his face when he heard what the long-haired man said. The two of them were spies sent by Tao Qian to Yanzhou. They were the ones who found out about Cao Song's coming to Yanzhou and told Tao Qian.

Yanzhou's mission is to monitor every move of Cao Cao's army.

Once there are signs of Cao Cao's army dispatching, he will quickly inform Tao Qian

"I just went to take a look outside Cao Cao's mansion. There was an endless stream of people coming to celebrate his birthday."

"The rich and powerful men in the city all went there with gifts."

"It seems that Cao Song, an old man, is going to have a grand birthday."

With a hint of sarcasm on his face, the long-haired man told what he saw. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"I want to send this news back to Xuzhou and let the lord know that today is Cao Song’s birthday."

"You be careful here."

After the scarred man finished speaking, he opened the door and looked around. No one was paying attention to him, and left in a hurry.

Cao Cao's mansion!

Today is the birthday of Cao Cao's father, Cao Song. Cao Cao stood in front of the mansion and congratulated everyone who came to celebrate his birthday. Everyone said hello one by one

"Brother, leave this to me! You are the leader of Yanzhou. How can I let you do such a thing?"

Cao De walked out of the mansion and said with a trace of dissatisfaction on Cao Cao's face.

Cao Cao smiled when he heard Cao De's words. He did not greet the guests in front of the door to say hello.

He wanted to let Tao Qian's spies see him. I am really wishing my father a birthday, but there is no need to tell Cao De about this.

Let him think that today is really a birthday wish for his father, except that the day is a few days ahead of time, everything else is true.

Cao Cao also told his father, Cao Song, that today is a birthday ahead of schedule After his birthday, Cao Song did not ask Cao Cao why he had to advance.

He knew that Cao Cao had his own reasons for doing so, not to mention which counselors were around Cao Cao......

Cao Song sat in the main seat in the hall, and people entering the hall wished Cao Song birthday.

The counselor Lin Yuan also appeared here, but Lin Yuan was surrounded by Cao Cao's tribe.

These tribesmen were very enthusiastic towards Lin Yuan. When Cao Song saw this scene, he just did not stop him.[]

He now wished that all members of the Cao family could have a good relationship with Lin Yuan.

He knew Lin Yuan's abilities best.

Those who came to celebrate the birthday were left to attend the banquet, and the sky gradually turned dark.

In the hall of Xuzhou Governor's Mansion, Tao Qian was sitting in the main seat looking at the brocade cloth in his hand.

This is the secret report just sent back by Yanzhou’s spy. In addition to Tao Qian, there are also Cao Bao and Chen Deng in the entire hall.

"Cao Mengde is really filial. Today he celebrated Cao Song's birthday in Yanzhou City."

"Arrange soldiers to deliver food to the people in the city."

Tao Qian put down the brocade cloth in his hand with a hint of disdain on his face.

Seeing Cao Song's name, Tao Qian was very dissatisfied if he put Cao Song under house arrest.

He didn't have to worry about Cao Cao attacking his Xuzhou.

Chen Deng listened. He frowned at Tao Qian's words. Cao Cao celebrated Cao Song's birthday with great fanfare?

Although this is what the Son of Man should do, Chen Deng did feel that something was wrong.

Cao Bao on the side did not speak. Tao Qian's death will be after midnight tonight. Now he is eager to leave the Governor's Mansion as soon as possible

"Now that Cao Cao is congratulating Cao Song on his birthday again, he will not come to Xuzhou with his army in the past few days."

"Cao Bao, go and make arrangements so that the soldiers at the city gate can take turns to rest without so many people guarding them."

Tao Qian looked at Cao Bao and gave his order.

Tao Qian has sent many soldiers at the city gate these days. Since Cao Cao is celebrating Cao Song's birthday, there is no need for so many soldiers at the city gate.

"Yes!"

Cao Bao's face was normal, but he was really ecstatic.

He saw Cao Cao's reply to him at his house, saying that the military advisor could deal with the guards at the city gate.

Cao Bao was also curious about what method Cao Cao's military advisor used to make the old and cunning Tao Qian relax his vigilance.

Unexpectedly, he would use this method to celebrate Cao Song's birthday. In this way, Tao Qian would definitely relax his vigilance.

He thought that Cao Cao would not bring a large army to attack Xuzhou City in the next few days.

Although he had never seen this military advisor, Cao Bao felt sorry for Cao Cao. The counselor had some admiration.

Thinking of this, Cao Bao had a trace of cold sweat on the back of his neck. Fortunately, he had surrendered to Cao Cao. Otherwise, he would have been plotted by this counselor, and his end would have been miserable!

After Cao Cao occupied Xuzhou, he would definitely I wanted to meet this counselor.

Chen Deng frowned when he heard Tao Qian’s words. Tao Qian happened to see this scene.

"Yuanlong, what's on your mind?"

Chen Deng heard Tao Qian's words, thought for a while and said:"Cao Cao wishes Cao Song a birthday."

"Your Excellency, there is no need to reduce the number of soldiers at the city gate. It is better not to reduce the number of soldiers at the city gate."

Cao Bao on the side looked calm when he heard Chen Deng's words, with a hint of fear in his heart.

Chen Deng was indeed extraordinary. Even if Cao Cao celebrated his father's birthday, 0.4 people were so vigilant to dissuade Tao Qian from reducing the number of soldiers at the city gate.

Cao Bao shouted in his heart He shouted"Not good!""If Tao Qian really listens to Chen Deng and does not reduce the number of soldiers at the city gate, he, the general, will not be able to open the city gate of Xuzhou when the time comes.

"No problem!"

"Cao Cao, the traitor, wants to celebrate his father's birthday again. There is accurate information from the spies."

"Could it be that Cao Cao could still come to attack Xuzhou while it was dark?"

Tao Qian said with a hint of disdain on his face. Tao Qian is still very confident about the city wall of Xuzhou.

Cao Cao wants to capture Xuzhou, it is not that simple.

Chen Deng saw Tao Qian being so confident, even though he was a little worried in his heart, he didn't say much. What.

Cao Bao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Tao Qian's words. Since Tao Qian reduced the number of soldiers at the city gate.

Tonight, it will be Tao Qian's death!

Cao Cao's house is still so lively, but Cao Cao, Lin Yuan and Cao Ren No longer in the mansion.

All the soldiers in the Yanzhou military camp, including the Yellow Turban Army who later surrendered, are also here.

Cao Cao is wearing armor and carrying a sword at his waist, and beside him is Lin Yuan, who is dressed in green and holding a folding fan.

On the general platform Next, at the front are generals such as Zhao Yun, Cao Ren, and Gao Shun. Behind them are elite soldiers who have been trained for many days.

There are Zhao Yun's cavalry, Gao Shun's heavy armored infantry, Xia Houyuan's broadswords, etc.

There is a hint of fighting spirit on the faces of Zhao Yun and others. , the faces of the soldiers behind them also had fighting spirit.

Cao Cao and Lin Yuan stood on the general point platform and could feel a sense of oppression.

"Whether the soldiers can capture Xuzhou City today depends on you."

"Set off!"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he left Yanzhou City on his horse, and Lin Yuan also left Yanzhou City on his horse.

Behind them were Zhao Yun and other generals with their armies, heading for Xuzhou City.
