After the matter was settled, Lu Bu didn't stay any longer, politely declined Zhang Miao's offer to see him off, and took Ma Chao and the others out of the residence.
"My lord, I don't understand. We have 10,000+ sons who are good at fighting, just Chen Liu. As long as you give an order, why do you have to come all the way to beg this guy?"
Ma Chao grunted and said, as if he was defending Lu Bu.
At this moment, Lu Bu was very happy, and he took advantage of his understanding of Zhang Miao's character in his previous life, so Lu Bu came to the army to take risks.
Fortunately, this trip was not in vain. Convincing Zhang Miao meant that Chen Liu fell into his hands.
However, Lu Bu was not in a hurry to ask Zhang Miao to act immediately, but instead listened to his command and acted together with other counties and counties, causing an instant explosion and blooming everywhere.
At that time, even if Cao Cao wanted to save him, he didn't know where to start.
Hearing Ma Chao's complaints, Lu Bu smiled slightly, like an elder educating a younger generation: "Force will only make the enemy submit and fear. If you want them to be grateful, you have to use another way to execute it. You are still young and frivolous." There is still a lot to learn in the future.”
"I don't know what it means to be young and frivolous, I only know that the winner is king."
Ma Chao retorted unconvinced. In the world he knew, the real truth is that the fist is big and can make others surrender.
Just like in Xiliang a few years ago, it was because the Han army was strong enough to finally bury the army of the Guishuang Empire outside Yumen Pass.
Lu Bu didn't know how to refute for a while, so he reached out and tapped the back of Ma Chao's head lightly, with a helpless tone: You, so many scrolls have been copied for nothing.
…………
Xuzhou Donghai County, Tan County.
Cao Cao, who had bloodbathed the nearby counties and counties, led the army and arrived at the city again.
The scouts came to report in a hurry, and when Tao Qian learned about it, he led his soldiers and soldiers, and hurried up the tower.
Looking around, there are many banners and flags, and more than [-] soldiers of the Cao army are wrapped in plain scarves, like a vast expanse of snow.Cao Cao, the leader of the army, and the surrounding Cao family's children were all dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, with great hatred.
Since Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou, there has been a great shock, and the people of Xuzhou are all frightened when they hear Cao Cao's name, for fear of bumping into him.
It is said that in order to ensure the supply of food and grass, Cao Cao also used human flesh as food.
The guards on the tower were pale and their hearts were pounding. Facing so many soldiers and horses, they instinctively felt fear and panic.
Tao Qian, who climbed up the tower, supported the wall with both hands. Because of Cao Cao's large-scale invasion, he has been having trouble sleeping and eating in recent months, and his hair is all gray, which can be described as physically and mentally exhausted.
He glanced at Cao Jun's neat formation, complaining in his heart.
Up to now, Tao Qian had no choice but to bite the bullet and shouted to Cao Cao below: "Meng De, I hosted a banquet for your father, and I wanted to make friends with you. I don't want Zhang Kai to murder your father on the way. The old man really doesn't know about it, I hope Meng De will find out clearly, don't implicate the people in the city!"
It’s okay not to mention this matter, but when this matter is mentioned, Cao Cao’s whole body exploded immediately, he raised his whip and pointed at the top of the wall, and cursed angrily with a gloomy face: “Old man! How dare you speak nonsense when you allow your subordinates to kill my father! Can you capture the old thief alive?"
When the voice fell to the ground, Cao Hong clasped his fists beside him: "My lord, the general is willing to take the lead in charging!"
Cao Cao is a decisive person. He took a look at Cao Hong, nodded immediately, and let Cao Hong lead [-] soldiers to attack the city first.
Cao Hong got the order, turned around and pulled out his waist knife, his masculine face was full of ferocity, and he shouted: "Boys, follow me!"
kill!
kill!
kill!
Countless roars and kills rushed straight into the sky.
Cao Hong took the lead on horseback, followed by [-] soldiers of the Cao army, rushing forward.
The officials on the tower turned pale with fright, and all of them were terrified.
Even Tao Qian lost his sense of proportion and didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, a majestic voice rose from the ground.
"My colleagues, Mr. Tao Mansion usually treats me well, but now that Cao's soldiers have arrived, how can we just wait for death!"
"My sons and daughters, your family, relatives and friends are all in the city. If the city is broken, you will be killed by Cao Cao. Please join me in defending the city!"
There was a determination that was not afraid of death in the passionate tone.
Everyone regarded it as Tao Qian's general Cao Bao.
Since Tao Qian took over Xuzhou, he has always liked to reuse the wealthy family.Therefore, most of the civil and military officials under his command came from wealthy families, and Cao Bao was born in one of the most prominent Cao families in Xuzhou.
Of course, the Cao family in Xuzhou has nothing to do with Cao Cao's Cao family.
Cao Bao's words, while reassuring the soldiers, also rekindled their fighting spirit.
"I'm going to die anyway, so I'll fight Cao Jun!"
"Yes, we fought!"
"They are not afraid of death, and I am not afraid, let's see who has done it better!"
"........."
Under the outrage, the morale of the defenders soared.
Two days later, Liu Bei, who ran all the way south from Youzhou, entered Tan County with [-] soldiers.
When Liu Bei rushed to the field more than ten miles north of Tan County, he ran into two other support troops here, Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai County, and Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou.
Liu Bei gave the order to suspend the march, and after he got off his horse and greeted Kong Rong and Tian Kai, he took the initiative to ask, "You two envoys, do you know the situation in Tan County?"
Kong Rong and Tian Kai looked at each other with embarrassing expressions.
"Xuande, to tell you the truth, the two of us have already started a confrontation with Cao Cao a few days ago. However, Cao's army is so powerful that it is difficult for us to fight. We can only retreat here temporarily and make another plan."
Kong Rong is a person who cherishes face, so he said it more tactfully.
In fact, he and Tian Kai could not beat Cao Cao together, and the rescue failed. On the contrary, Cao Jun came to a frontal charge, fled in embarrassment, and lost troops.
No wonder when I came, I saw many wounded soldiers.
As Liu Bei said to himself, he became more wary of Cao Cao in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he asked again: "Then there is news about Xuzhou Mu?"
"In the past few days, I have sent people to investigate. I heard that Cao Cao has stormed Tan County for two days. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, but Cao Cao is powerful. I am afraid that Tao Gongzu will not last long, and the city will be destroyed."
Speaking of this, Kong Rong couldn't help but sighed a long time.
After listening to Liu Bei, he made a decision immediately, got up and said firmly: "We can't wait any longer, someone must rush into the city to give Xuzhou soldiers confidence."
Perhaps it was because Liu Bei rescued Beihai back then, and also knew how to deal with the world, so while Kong Rong admired Liu Bei, he also had an almost blind trust.
