Hegemony of the Three Kingdoms: I really just want to be Cao Cao's janitor

Chapter 137 Attacking Xuzhou
When setting off, Cao Cao rushed over, dressed in hemp and filial piety, full of ceremony!
The whole city is covered with white silk, and they are all mourning for Mrs. Cao!
"My lord, when we send troops this time, who will be the main attacker and who will be the feint?" Cheng Yu asked.

"There is no priority this time, I am too sad, and I want to avenge my father, and I have messed up!" Cao Cao said.

"Would this be a little too hasty?" Cheng Yu said worriedly, this kind of random fighting is very unreasonable!

"In extraordinary times, we should do extraordinary things. The Lord is distraught, and he only wants to avenge his father. In this way, other princes will not have doubts! The world only knows that the Lord avenged his father, and will not think that Xuzhou is plotting!" Xun Xun Yu said.

Cao Cao gave Cheng Yu a meaningful look, and then said, "Let's go!"

"Pass down the order. This is the season for grain growth. Anyone who passes through the grain fields must not be trampled on or damaged. Those who disobey the order will be beheaded!" Cao Cao said solemnly.

For food, Cao Cao cherishes it very much, and his own food and grass are not enough!

When Lu Mou heard about this, he knew that Cao Cao was going to pretend to be X!
The army set off until noon, passing a rice field, Lu Mou ordered his soldiers to be careful!
Cao Cao is not kidding about food matters!

And during this period, be careful what you do!
"My lord, I still have one thing to worry about!" Cheng Yu said.

"What's the matter?"

"My lord, all our troops are dispatched. What should we do if someone sneaks into our base camp at this time?" Cheng Yu said.

"Does Wen Ruo know me?" Cao Cao said.

"If a fighter looks forward and backward, he will definitely be defeated. The news of us has spread all over the world. Right now, none of the princes wants to fight us. It is only right and proper for us to avenge our father!" Xun Yu said.

"Xun Yu has vision, Cheng Yu has strategy, and I am very lucky to have you!" Cao Cao said.

"In this battle, we will take Xuzhou in one fell swoop!" Cao Cao said.

Two days later, Cao Cao arrived in Xuzhou with a solemn face.

Tao Qian saw Cao Cao's army approaching the city, and immediately went out of the city to meet them.

Tao Qian bowed his knees and said: "Mr. Cao has come from a long way, and I specially welcome him!"

"Tao Qian, if you are just interested, go out of the city and surrender immediately, and I don't have to kill you Xuzhou people!" Cao Cao said.

"Duke Cao, I didn't kill your father!"

"It's useless to talk too much. You don't know who you employ. If you break the city in two days, I'll take your head to pay homage to my father! Go home, wash your neck and wait!"

After all, Cao Cao rode away, leaving Tao Qian alone.

At this time, in Yuan Shao's camp, Tao Qian's son was asking for help!

"It's really sad that such a dignified court official would do such a ridiculous thing. Mr. Tao, what you did was extremely stupid. My lord Yuan Shao, who is he? All over the world, my lord can't let your father Tao Qian do such a ridiculous thing, fill in some absurdity! You go!" Xu You scolded.

As soon as Mr. Tao heard it, he knew that there was no hope, and he left immediately after saying goodbye. Now that Xuzhou is in crisis, his time is very tight.

Yuan Shao is unwilling to send troops to help, he still needs to ask for help!
Xu You looked at Young Master Tao's figure going away, and spat!
Young Master Tao left Yuan Shao's place and immediately went to Gongsun Zan's.

"General Gongsun, please save Xuzhou City!"

At this time, Liu Bei came in, and Gongsun Zan said to Young Master Tao, "Nephew, you go down and rest, I will discuss it with brother Xuande and make plans!"

"Xuande!" Gongsun Zan said with a smile.

"Liu Bei has met General Gongsun!" Liu Bei said respectfully.

"Xuande, first read the request letter Tao Qian sent me!" Gongsun Zan handed the letter to Liu Bei.

After Liu Bei saw it, his face was solemn.

"Cao Cao personally led an army of [-] to attack Xuzhou, and Tao Qian was in danger! All of Cao Cao's generals were dispatched, including Lu Mou! Bro, do you think I should save Tao Qian or not?" Gongsun Zan said.

"What do you mean by asking the general?" Liu Bei didn't answer clearly, but asked Gongsun Zan first.

"I want to ask Tao Qian, but now I am weak as a major general, and I am not Cao Cao's opponent. Besides, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu each have more than 20 soldiers and horses, but they still refuse to send troops. It can be seen that no one is willing to rescue Tao Qian. I have no ability to save Xuzhou!" Gongsun Zan sighed.

Liu Bei didn't say nonsense, still thinking about it.

"Even if I succeed by luck, what can I get? What I get is a weak friend like Tao Qian, but I offend a strong enemy like Cao Cao! It's not worth it!" Gongsun Zan sighed.

After Gongsun Zan finished speaking, Liu Bei said, "I don't dare to agree with the general. Tao Qian is a minister of the court, and he is a loyal man. Cao Cao took advantage of the fire to plot against Xuzhou in the name of avenging his father's revenge. But I think that those who win the hearts of the people win The world! I am here this time to bid farewell to the general!"

"Xuande, are you coming or going?" Gongsun Zan said.

"Yes, I want to save Xuzhou!"

"Since that's the case, what kind of help does Xuande want?" Gongsun Zan said.

"General Gongsun has been kind to me, he has helped me enough, I don't want anything!" Liu Bei said.

"In that case, I won't stop you either!"

Afterwards, Liu Bei and Mr. Tao rushed to Xuzhou together.

Mr. Tao never expected that when he asked for help from various princes, no one was willing to save him, but Liu Bei was willing to save Xuzhou.

Although Liu Bei has few soldiers, he is willing to advance and retreat with Xuzhou!

In Cao Cao's camp.

"Order Xiahou Dun, if any prince comes to rescue Xuzhou, he will be killed!" Cao Cao said.

"My lord, why don't we attack directly?"

"My engineering equipment will arrive in two days! And I looked at the city wall of Xuzhou. It is indeed as Tao Qian said. The city wall of Xuzhou is strong. If our siege equipment does not arrive, we will suffer heavy losses!"

Two days later.

Cao Cao was sitting in front of the formation, with Lu Mou on his left. Cao Cao said to Lu Mou, "Xiaoyi, you don't need to take action this time!"

"Here!"

Coincidentally, Lu Mou didn't want to make a move either, Tao Qian didn't have any powerful generals, and he was lazy!
"Xiaoyi, Xuzhou will soon be ours!" Cao Cao said happily.

"Brother, I still have one thing to worry about. Someone saw Lu Bu heading towards Yanzhou yesterday. I am worried about him!" Lu Mou said worriedly.

"There is nothing to worry about if Lü Bu is brave and intrepid!" Cao Cao said.

"When I take Xuzhou, I will send people back immediately!" Cao Cao said.

Cao Cao was also a little worried, but winning Xuzhou is the top priority now. If Lu Bu's own land of Yanzhou appeared, he would return to help and lose this good opportunity to win Xuzhou. Therefore, Cao Cao can't miss this opportunity. Chance!
