Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Cao Cao, who had subdued the millions of Yellow Turbans, had a strong presence. After a lot of mobilization, Xiahou Dun, Cao Cao's most trusted clan general, took the lead and led 20,000 troops to invade Langya County. Langya County prefect Zhuge Xuan naturally led the resistance.

Cheng Yu, who was in Xiahou Dun’s army, couldn’t wait to show off his ingenuity. Therefore, after Zhuge Xuan led the troops out of the battle, it was suggested that Xiahou Dun stayed there, and instead sent two divisions led by Lieutenant Lieutenant to Yangdu and Dong'an.

When Zhuge Xuan learned the news, he personally led the army to rescue Yang'an, which was close in distance. After Xiahou Dun got the news of the army's horse detection, he immediately led a 15,000 army to Yangdu. When Zhuge Xuan found out, he was already surrounded .

Xiahou Dun's army is full of plains, the so-called mourning soldiers must win, Dianwei and Le Jin are the first ascendant generals, under the impact of Zhuge Xuan's army on all sides, Zhuge Xuan's support only took a moment and a half before the entire army was defeated, and Zhuge Xuan was seriously injured and retreated.

Xiahoudun obtained the seal of the prefect of Langya County left by Zhuge Xuan, and Cheng Yu had another ingenuity to unknowingly transfer the remaining soldiers from Dongan, Kaiyang, and Yangdu to Sanchuan Valley. , And then surrounded by siege, Langya County six thousand defenders defeated.

Several cities in Langya County were in vain. Xiahou Dun immediately captured the counties, and then all the more than 10,000 mouths in the city were **** and slaughtered. They were pickled into preserved humans, and Xuzhou was declared.

The soldiers and civilians in the two cities of Kaiyang and Dong'an were so scared that they hurried to surrender, but Yangducheng resisted. In a rage, Xiahou Dun personally led his army to attack the city. Le Jin took off his helmet and held a short spear to climb the city first. However, he broke through Yangdu City in half a day. Xiahou Dun did not break his promise, and counted more than 16,000 in the city. Kill all.

It turned out that Cao Jun was not joking... Suddenly the entire Xuzhou was in panic, and Tao Qian now knew what kind of mistake he had committed.

"This time the improper use of people is the fault of the old man alone, but unfortunately it involves millions of soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou. Why is it painful?" Tao Qian said bitterly.

"Zizhong, princes, a certain wants to tie himself and go to Cao's army camp to plead guilty. Although Cao Cao slaughtered the people, he can still be preserved as long as he is willing to sacrifice the city and surrender. What do you think?" Tao Qian asked.

"Lord, never!" Cao Leopard stepped forward: "Cao Cao has subdued Qingzhou's millions of Yellow Turban thieves. Nowadays, strong soldiers and strong horses can be described as ambitious. If such wolf and ambitious men occupy Xuzhou, the world will be harmed. Moreover, Danyang soldiers have always been good at fighting. , The general is willing to lead soldiers to fight to death against Xiahou Dun!"

Cao Bao is the Xuzhou gentry and Tao Qian’s old helper. He commanded Xuzhou’s most elite 20,000 Danyang soldiers. Danyang’s soldiers were brave and well-known in the world. Many princes came to Danyang to recruit soldiers. Although Cao Bao’s command level was average, Relying on Danyang's elite soldiers, there are few defeats.

Although it was said that it was a family five hundred years ago, Cao Bao belonged to a family of Xuzhou gentry. Tao Qian was old and weak and had to rely heavily on Cao Bao. If he let the domineering Cao Cao take control of Xuzhou, Cao Bao would lose a large part of his power, so he Resolutely unwilling.

Tao Qian glanced at Cao Leopard, but smiled helplessly: "General Cao, no matter how brave you are, can you compare to the millions of Yellow Turban thieves in Qingzhou?"

"Tao Shijun." Mi Zhu said calmly: "Although Cao Jun is good at war, but as the saying goes, he will not rise up because of anger. Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou for his personal grievances. All the princes in the world are looking at him. Cao Cao dared to slaughter the city. What will be the hand of Cao Cao, and Zhuge Xuan's defeat shows that as long as our army does not fight Cao Jun, but sticks to the city, it may not be defeated!"

Tao Qian nodded: "Do you mean that our army can't stick to it and will automatically retreat when Cao Jun runs out of energy?"

As Mi Zhu said, Tao Qian paid more attention to this rich businessman.

"Of course." Mi Zhu said sternly: "Besides, the princes of the world must have a division of justice, and our army can ask for it."

"Oh? Where are there?" Tao Qian asked curiously.

"First, Liu Ye of Luoyang. Liu Ye is a chariot general of the imperial court. He has one hundred thousand soldiers. He broke the yellow turban. He Dingliangzhou defeated the Huns. He defeated Xu and millions. The soldiers threatened the world. Cao Cao attacked the imperial court for his personal grievances. For the prefectures and counties, if you ask Liu Cheqi to mediate, you will definitely be able to achieve miraculous results.

Cao Bao sneered: "I heard that Liu Ye and Cao Cao were old friends when they conquered the Yellow Turbans. Besides, Liu Ye couldn't handle it. Will he take action?" Tao Qian nodded his head worriedly. Cao Cao and Liu Ye had a close relationship with each other, so Qingzhou Yellow Turbans continued to flow. At the time of reinforcements to Yanzhou, Liu Ye wrote a letter asking Cao Cao to lead his troops to block the Yellow Turban passage in Qingzhou. The friendship between the two is evident.

Mi Zhu shook his head: "Looking at Liu Ye's style, you can know that Liu Ye's aspiration is to become a ZTE like Emperor Guangwu. Cao Cao annexed Xuzhou. The wolf's ambition is obvious. Based on Liu Ye's insight, I think he will not distinguish between public and private."

"Other than that?" Tao Qian asked.

"Runan Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are fighting each other, and Cao Cao is Yuan Shao's minion. If he occupies Xuzhou, the strength of Yuan Shao's camp will be greatly increased. As the saying goes, one will lose and the other will grow, and Yuan Shu is naturally unhappy about Cao Cao's annexation of Xuzhou." Slowly said: "However, Yuan Shu does not see rabbits or scatter eagles. I am afraid that he needs a heavy gift. Tao Shijun can give grain, grass and ten thousand stones, and invite him to send troops."

"There is also Liu Bei, the minister of Pingyuan. I heard that this person has always been benevolent and ambitious, but he lives on the plain. Liu Bei is under Gongsun Zan, and Pingyuan is under the rule of Cao Cao. Sooner or later Cao Cao will clear Liu Bei. Tao Shijun can write to Liu Bei. It’s clear and promised to use Xuzhou City for his troops. Presumably Liu Bei will resist. Then Liu Bei's subordinate Guan Zhang Er heard that he is very brave and he must be able to stop Xiahou Dun’s soldiers."

"Okay." Tao Qian took a reassuring pill: "If this is the case, I don't know who should be sent for help?"

"If Mengtao envoy does not give up, he is familiar with Qingzhou roads and would like to go to the plains."

Tao Qian looked intently and saw that the speaker was Sun Gan under the account. He was originally from Beihai, Qingzhou. He was recommended to Tao Qian by the great scholar Zheng Xuan.

"Okay, please trouble Gongyou to go to the plains, but Qingzhou is under the jurisdiction of Cao Cao, but you can't make a big fanfare." Tao Qian looked at Cao Bao: "General Cao, you send a dozen Danyang soldiers to **** Gongyou."

"No." Cao Bao nodded.

"A certain brother Mi Fang, who knows how to negotiate, can order Mi Fang to go to Runan and negotiate with Yuan Shu." Mi Zhu said.

"Okay, hire the son to do Xuzhou."

"As for Luoyang, Zhu is not talented and would like to see Liu Cheqi in person."
