Lao Cao thought that it was not easy to be a god, so he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

"Forget it, let's send more people to help Mr. Lu share some government affairs.

Zhicai is now my right-hand man, as long as his illness can be cured, I will give you as many people as Lu Xianren!

Eh?correct!

Isn't Zixiu a talent?

It just so happens that Mr. Lu is also short of people, why don't you let him go out to practice? "

Cao Cao felt that this idea was reliable,

And maybe his son is very talented, maybe he can learn a few things by staying with Lu Yan?

Thinking of this, Boss Cao felt that his idea was really reliable!

So Cao Cao shouted loudly to the outside,

"Come on!"

"What are your orders, my lord?" the guard entered the tent and asked Cao Cao with his fists clasped.

"Send someone to escort Mr. Yiji to Chenliu,

By the way, I will go to Dongjun again, so that Ang'er will stop farming, and go to Chenliu to wait for the arrangement of the prefect Lu! "

"Here!" After the guard outside the door agreed, he ran away in a hurry.

......

Cao Ren sent away Yiji and the captives of the Xuzhou army.

Next,

His goal was another county town around Pengcheng, Liu County.

There is also an army of 5000 troops stationed in Liu County.

After the general who stayed behind heard that Lu You was defeated in Guangqi County, he decided to stay behind closed doors and prepared to defend to the death.

When they came to Liu County, no matter how Cao Renle's messengers yelled and scolded him, the defenders just shrank back.

However, Cao Ren was only the vanguard among the vanguard, and he was not in a hurry if the defenders did not come out.

They even simply stationed outside Liu County to wait for Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan's returning army.

Didn't even wait two days,

After the Xiahou brothers' army wiped out the surrounding defenders, they came to join Cao Ren outside Liu County.

After the rendezvous, Cao Jun has 2 people.

With 5000 people facing an army of nearly 2, how can a small county be defended?

The general guard of Liuxian County will tell you loudly, "36 tricks, the best strategy is to walk! Guard you Jill!"

So when Cao Ren, Le Jin, and Xiahou brothers' [-] strong troops came to challenge Liuxian County,

The generals of Liu County simply fled through the back door, led the defenders and abandoned the city...

After occupying Liu County with little effort, Cao Ren repeated what he did in Guangqi County in Liu County.

This time, the two brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan were dumbfounded.

It was you, Cao Ren, who displeased Lu Yan the most.

Now you are playing Lu Yan's dog's leg everywhere, and it is you, Cao Ren... "This is the human heart, it's too complicated!"

When Cao Cao's Chinese army arrived in Pengcheng, the counties around Pengcheng had been wiped out one by one, and the next thing to do was to encircle Pengcheng.

What Boss Cao has to face is Pengcheng, which is defended by more than 2 people led by Tao Qian.

After arriving outside Pengcheng,

Cao Jun began to set up camp, buried pots to make food, and rushed to make siege equipment by the way.

The people in Xuzhou are still migrating in the rear, so Cao Cao is not in a hurry.

The next day,

In order to put some pressure on Tao Qian and others, Cao Cao,

So he led all the generals and troops under his command, lined up in a neat row, and came to the foot of Pengcheng City for Tao Qian on the top of the city to parade.

On top of Pengcheng City,

Tao Qian, Cao Bao, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang and the others looked at the black and orderly and imposing Cao army under the city, and their hearts were horrified!

"Hiss! Cao Aman's army is more elite than when we saw it a year ago!" Tao Qian couldn't help but gasped.

Tao Qian looked at Cao Cao's banner of the Chinese army, and suddenly his thoughts were full of thoughts.

Cao Cao used to be one of the initiators of the alliance to discuss Dong, and he and Tao Qian were also close partners and comrades-in-arms.

But later, because of the dispute between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, Tao Qian and Cao Cao belonged to two camps, so the fight became real.

A few years ago, Gongsun Zan invited Tao Qian and Yuan Shu to attack Yuan Shao and Cao Cao together.

At that time, Cao Cao had just entered Yanzhou, and his butt was still hot.

Tao Qian took the opportunity to enter Dongjun and stationed troops in Fagan County.

However, despite Cao Cao's internal and external troubles, he Tao Qian was still beaten up and left in a state of embarrassment...

Now that Cao Cao has cultivated and integrated for a period of time, the strength of his army is now more than twice as strong as it was a year ago.

However, although Cao Cao's army is strong,

But Tao Qian believed that Cao Jun still had a fatal flaw, and that was food!

Although Cao Cao's attack was nominally to give the people of Xuzhou a month's buffer time, in fact it was more likely to be raising food, grass and military equipment.

Tao Qian's idea is also correct.

Xun Yu did have the act of collecting grain and grass from various counties.

It's just that Tao Qian couldn't possibly have imagined that there were so many thieves for Chen's food!

Even if the current stockpile is not enough, they can still buy it with money,

Anyway, Yingchuan County is so close to Liu Biao's Nanyang County, it's not too much to buy some food!

Tao Qian's thinking should be the thinking of a normal person at this time,

"When spring comes after winter, it should be the time when there is no harvest. It is difficult for the common people to have surplus food for their own families. It must not be easy for Cao Cao to raise food and grass.

Cao thief came here this time, there would definitely not be enough food and grass, and what he most hoped for was a quick victory! "

After figuring out Cao Cao's intentions, Tao Qian's plan was to stick to Pengcheng and wait for Cao's army to run out of food and grass to retreat.

At the same time, he was asking for help from all directions,

If reinforcements really arrive, they might be able to counterattack Cao's army at that time, and feel the shame of Xuedong County's defeat!

Chapter 74 Defend the city ahead, but the backyard is on fire

Hold fast and wait for help, waiting for an opportunity,

And Qingzhou did have movement,

It has to be said that Tao Qian's calculations were indeed clinking.

But Tao Qian certainly has his own ideas,

Other people around him, such as Mi Zhu, also have their own thoughts in their hearts at this moment.

Mi Zhu is a wealthy businessman in Xuzhou, born with a graceful, generous, honest and elegant personality.

Moreover, his ancestors have been engaged in farming for generations, and his family has hundreds of millions of assets, and tens of thousands of servants and diners. He is an out-and-out rich and handsome man.

Because of the strong strength of the Mi family,

Mi Zhu was later appointed by Tao Qian to work in Biejia, which can be regarded as a successful leap from the status of a businessman in the business world to the political world.

For wealthy businessmen, their thinking is actually similar to that of some aristocratic families, who put the prosperity and decline of their own family first.

For them,

As long as they kept their family and property, they didn't care that much about who would be their leader.

But Mi Zhu is a little different.

In history, after Mi Zhu chose Liu Bei, he not only married his younger sister to Liu Bei, but also donated [-] servants and countless gold and silver goods to Liu Bei to support the army.

No matter how impoverished Liu Bei faced, Mi Zhu never gave up.

Even Boss Cao has a high evaluation of Mi Zhu: Mi Zhu is a general, loyal, civil and military.

Later, Liu Bei entered Yizhou and named Mi Zhu an Anhan general, ranking first among all his subordinates, higher than Zhuge Liang's army general.

Tao Qian was kind on the outside, but he was arrogant and tough on the inside.

After Tao Qian arrived in Xuzhou that year, his methods were extremely tough, and he adopted a policy of pulling and beating the local powerful families.

Those who are obedient will win; those who are disobedient will be killed.

This method seems to have divided and suppressed these local snakes, but they don't know how much these people secretly hope that he will die quickly.

Also, when Tao Qian accompanied Zhang Wen to put down the rebellion of Western Qiang Bianzhang and Han Sui, Zhang Wen treated Tao Qian with extra courtesy.

But Tao Qian somehow despises Zhang Wen.

What's more, he still taunted Zhang Wen in public, which made Zhang Wen very unable to step down, and almost killed Tao Qian in a fit of anger.

Moreover, Tao Qian's behavior style is not as thoughtful as a resourceful person. This time he secretly sent people to rob and kill Cao Song, which is a typical way of venting personal anger and disregarding the overall situation.

Although Mi Zhu was respectful to this immediate boss, he didn't think he was a master.

......

The people in Chengtou Mountain seem to be grasshoppers on a rope, but they have their own ideas in their hearts. The interior of Xuzhou is no longer monolithic.

Under Pengcheng,

Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu and others came to the front from the army formation,

Looking far ahead at Pengcheng.

Cheng Yu spoke first and said:

"Although Pengcheng is not a strong city in the true sense, it is currently guarded by nearly [-] defenders. If it is attacked by force, I am afraid it will not be good."

Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai are also clear,

If Tao Qian sticks to the city and avoids fighting, with only [-] soldiers and horses under their command,

Even if they break through the city guarded by Tao Qian and nearly [-] troops, their army will probably be hurt.

After Pengcheng, there is Tancheng in the East China Sea. If too many troops are lost here, the city behind Xuzhou will be difficult to fight.

Will the Xuzhou Army take the initiative to fight?

At least as things stand, they won't.

When Tao Qian invaded Yanzhou and was stationed in Fagan County, East County of Yanzhou, he was beaten by Cao Cao so that he ran away with his head in his arms.

Moreover, since Cao Cao entered Dongjun, he has defeated the Xiongnu and the Yellow Turban without any defeat.

Now that Pengcheng is at a disadvantage in terms of strength, Tao Qian will certainly not take the initiative to attack.

What's more, there is another movement in Qingzhou. Compared with Tian Kai and Liu Bei's army, it will not take long to enter the border of Xuzhou.

Cao Jun sent people to attack tentatively for a round, and seeing that the opponent was heavily guarded, he retreated to the camp.

However, man is not as good as God,

Just when Tao Qian thought his defense was flawless, at this juncture,

In Xiapi City, a man named Kan Xuan claimed to be the Son of Heaven,

He also brazenly pulled up a team of 6000 to [-] people, and directly captured Xiapi City, which had few defenders!

Tao Qian almost spat out a mouthful of old blood!
