After Cao Cao got the news, he was furious. In Cao Cao's heart, he attacked Xuzhou to avenge the murder of his father. No matter how you look at it, it was Tao Qian's fault, but let Dare come to rescue Tao Qian.How could Cao Cao not be angry.

And Cao Cao was not a procrastination person, so Cao Cao called Xiahou Dun on the spot.After Xiahou Dun came in, Cao Cao directly told Xiahou Dun the news that he had led five thousand troops to rescue Tao Qian.

Xiahou's family and Cao's family can basically be regarded as the same family, so after learning that Bian Rang led his troops to rescue Tao Qian, Xiahou Dun was also angry for a while, and Xiahou Dun's temper was even hotter than Cao Cao's, so after knowing the news, Xiahou Dun He asked Cao Cao directly, "Brother, what do you mean?"

Cao Cao said slowly: "The hatred of killing my father is unshakable. No one can stop me from taking revenge on Tao Qian, not even by giving way."

Xiahou Dun stood up and said to Cao Cao, "Don't worry, brother, I know what to do."

After talking about Xiahou Dun, he walked out of Cao Cao's big tent, but Xiahou Dun met Xi Zhicai outside the tent.Xiahoudun still respects Xi Zhicai, and he is usually called a military adviser.

But as usual, Xi Zhicai would definitely greet Xiahou Dun, but for some reason today, Xi Zhicai just greeted Xiahou Dun and then entered Cao Cao's tent.Although Xiahoudun said he was a little puzzled, he didn't know what to ask.So Xiahoudun mobilized five thousand soldiers and horses to intercept and kill Bian Rang a hundred years after returning to his camp.

As soon as Xi Zhicai entered Cao Cao's tent, he heard Cao Cao's voice.

"What's the important thing for Zhicai to come here at this time?"

Cao Cao had some doubts in his heart. You must know that Xi Zhicai rarely came to Cao Cao except for some military affairs, and these people should have nothing to do, so Cao Cao was also curious about Xi Zhicai's intentions.

Xi Zhicai tidied up his appearance before saying to Cao Cao: "My lord, Chen Gongtai is here."

Chen Gong?Cao Cao felt disgusted for no reason.Chen Gong is currently working in Dongjun, but Cao Cao understands that Chen Gong's visit this time is absolutely nothing else. There is only one reason and purpose for Chen Gong to come here, and that is to be a lobbyist for Tao Qian.

The reason why Cao Cao knew it was because it was no secret that Chen Gong and Tao Qian had a good relationship.

"No." Cao Cao blurted out almost without thinking.Now that he knew why Chen Gong came, he might as well not see him, since seeing him would only add to his troubles.

After Xi Zhicai heard Cao Cao's answer, he responded and then retreated, preparing to bring Cao Cao's answer to Chen Gong. You must know that Chen Gong is still waiting in this big camp.

But just as Xi Zhicai was about to walk out of the big tent, Cao Cao's voice reached Xi Zhicai's ears again.

"Forget it, Zhicai, go and bring him in."

Although I don't know why Cao Cao changed his mind, but as a smart person, he would not ask these questions, and Xi Zhicai is just a smart person and not ordinary smart.

After a while, Xi Zhicai brought Chen Gong to Cao Cao's tent.As soon as Chen Gong saw Cao Cao, he also greeted Cao Cao first. Today's literati are basically Confucian children, and they still pay more attention to etiquette.

Afterwards, Chen Gong did not conceal his purpose. Anyway, Cao Cao knew it, so what's the use of concealing it?

Chen Gong asked Cao Cao directly: "Today I heard that General Cao led [-] troops to attack Xuzhou to avenge the murder of his father, but he slaughtered all the people wherever he went. A certain person came here to persuade the general today."

Cao Cao said disdainfully: "My father's death was all caused by Tao Qian. Is there anything wrong with me raising troops to attack Tao Qian?"

Chen Gong shook his head and said: "The general's words are wrong. Zunfu's death is really the crime of that Zhang Kai. What has it to do with Tao Cishi? And what kind of enmity do the people of Xuzhou have with the general so that the general will kill every time he captures a city?" This is not the work of a gentleman, I hope the general will think twice before taking action, and return to Yanzhou as soon as possible."

After hearing Chen Gong's words, Cao Cao was furious and said: "Chen Gongtai, you left me at the beginning, but now you still have the face to see me. Tao Qian killed my father, and I will cut him into pieces to solve my pain." Hate. You came here this time to lobby me for Tao Qian, but have you ever thought about what will happen if I don't listen."

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Chen Gong was also furious, and then left Cao Cao's big tent angrily, but Cao Cao just sneered when he saw Chen Gong's leaving figure, without saying anything.

After Xi Zhicai saw Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai couldn't help sighing in his heart. Xi Zhicai originally hoped that Chen Gong could dissuade Cao Cao, at least let Cao Cao restrain his behavior, and stop doing things like massacres .But I didn't expect that Chen Gong's arrival would add fuel to the fire.

Xiahou Dun took five thousand soldiers and horses to the only way to intercept and kill Bian Rang, and it happened that he met Bian Rang on the way, and the two sides immediately set up their battles and prepared for a big battle.

Bian Rang didn't recognize Xiahou Dun, so he came to the front of the battle and asked, "Who is coming? I'm Jiujiang Governor Bian Rang. This time I'm going to rescue Xuzhou Governor Tao, so let's get out of the way quickly."

Xiahoudun went straight into battle and said, "I am Xiahoudun under Cao Cao, the general of Zhendong. Today I learned that the Bian prefect is going to rescue Tao Qian, so I came to see the Bian prefect. You should return to Jiujiang, this Xuzhou is not where you should come." place."

Bian Rang was furious when he heard the words, pointed at Xiahou Dun and scolded: "Cao Cao slaughtered the people in Xuzhou, and you are helping the tyrant to abuse. The crime is unforgivable. If you don't dismount quickly and accept the surrender, how dare you speak such nonsense. If you commit suicide in front of the two armies Make an apology, and I will consider keeping your whole body."

But Xiahou Dun said: "So you are unwilling to retreat, Prefect Bian, so don't blame the spear in my hand for not having eyes."

After talking, Xiahou Dun rode his horse straight to the other side, and then the five thousand soldiers and horses brought by Xiahou Dun rushed to the side with the five thousand soldiers and horses led by Shi Xiu.

After surrendering to Cao Cao, Shi Xiu was placed under Xiahou Dun by Cao Cao, and Shi Xiu had no objection to this.It is already rare to be able to join Cao Cao's command. What qualifications does Shi Xiu have to be picky about the arrangement?And because Shi Xiu has a fiery personality and is eager to show loyalty, Shi Xiu and Xiahou Dun get along pretty well.

And Bian Rang was also furious when he saw Xiahou Dun rushing over, and then ordered his soldiers to stop Xiahou Dun, Bian Rang knew very well in his heart that if Xiahou Dun came to his side, he would have only a dead end.So when Bian Rang saw Xiahou Dun rushing over, he commanded his soldiers to stop Xiahou Dun.

But he stopped Xiahou Dun but failed to stop Shi Xiu. Shi Xiu's nickname was Desperate Saburo. There were only wrong names but no wrong nicknames. From Shi Xiu's nickname, we can see what kind of person Shi Xiu is.

Shi Xiu was really desperate on the battlefield. Xia Houdun and Xia Houyuan teamed up to capture Shi Xiu alive, but it took a lot of effort.

And Bian Rang obviously didn't understand Shi Xiu, so Shi Xiu directly killed him in front of him. After that, Shi Xiu didn't say much, but pierced Bian Rang's chest with the spear in his hand, and stabbed Bian Rang off the horse. .

After Bian Rang's death, the five thousand soldiers and horses he brought with him were quickly killed by Xia Houdun and Shi Xiu under the leadership of the dragons.However, Bian Rang's body was snatched back by some of his personal guards.

Anyway, Bian Rang was already dead, so Xiahou Dun was not so attached to the corpse, so Bian Rang's personal guards were able to snatch Bian Rang's body back.

After cleaning the battlefield, Xiahou Dun took Shi Xiu and his troops back to Cao Jun's camp.

Chapter 199 The Defeat of Tao Qian

With an army of [-], Cao Cao marched all the way to Xiapi with almost no obstacles.And Langya, Pengcheng, Donghai and other places have all fallen into Cao Cao's hands.

Just like in the time of Langya, every time Cao Cao captured a city, he would massacre the people in the city. Although this kind of behavior made the people and soldiers of Xuzhou resist Cao Cao's attack with the same hatred, but under the powerful strength of Cao's army, there was nothing However, Cao Jun still reached Xiapi with the posture of breaking through the bamboo all the way.

In Xiapi City, Tao Qian killed people and excavated graves along the way after he got Cao Cao, resulting in the desolate and desolate scene of Langya, Pengcheng and Donghai.When the news reached Tao Qian, Tao Qian looked up to the sky and cried loudly: "This is because I have offended the heaven, so the heaven will punish the people of Xuzhou."

Tao Kan on the side persuaded: "Why is my father like this? If he offends, it is Cao Cao who offended God. What has he to do with his father. Father implements a benevolent government in Xuzhou, and the people of Xuzhou are all grateful to his father. Now that Cao Cao is acting so violently, he will definitely do it in the future." will be condemned."

Tao Qian glanced at Tao Kan, and said slowly: "What's the use of talking about it now, you go and inform, let everyone come to my house to discuss matters."

"Yes, father." Tao Kan replied respectfully and retreated.

When all the civil and military men under Tao Qian's command arrived, Tao Qian said directly: "Cao Cao has led an army of [-] to Xiapi now. I wonder if you have any good strategies?"

After Tao Qian finished speaking, all the civil and military people sighed, which made Tao Qian feel a sense of depression. Doesn't he have a capable person under his command?Facing the pressure of Cao Cao's army, no one could do anything.Thinking of this, Tao Qian couldn't help feeling a sense of sadness in his heart.

At this moment Cao Bao, a general under Tao Qian's command, suddenly stood up and said, "Master Inspector, don't worry, this Cao Cao has an army of [-], but I, Xuzhou, have a strong army, so why should I be afraid of Cao Cao? What's more, Cao Cao has already come to fight, isn't it? Are we just sticking our heads under Cao Cao's butcher's knife here without doing anything? In my opinion, we should gather all the soldiers and horses in Xiapi and fight Cao Cao. The general is willing to defeat the enemy for the assassin. "

Tao Qian was also excited when he heard Cao Bao's words. When Cao Cao's army killed all the civil servants under his command, they turned into shrinking turtles one by one. These generals are still reliable.

Tao Qian said loudly: "Okay, according to General Cao Bao's plan, hurry up and gather troops and horses to fight that Cao Cao."

After that, Tao Qian and Cao Bao mobilized [-] soldiers and went out to Picheng to find Cao Cao and prepare for a battle.But after learning that Tao Qian and Cao Bao had left Xiapi City with [-] troops, in a mansion in Xiapi City, Chen Deng, who was dressed as a scribe, sneered: "A mantis is like a cart, and he is beyond his control."

Of course, Tao Qian and Cao Bao didn't know what Chen Deng said, but even if they knew, they wouldn't care.Tao Qian had no choice. If Cao Cao broke through Xiapi City, others would not know, and he would definitely not survive. Moreover, with Cao Cao's character, he probably would not let the people in Xiapi City go.Tao Qian is also a person who loves the people, so naturally he couldn't bear the people in Xiapi City to be murdered by Cao Cao.

The news that Tao Qian and Cao Bao led [-] troops out of the city could not be hidden from Cao Cao, but Tao Qian didn't want to hide his whereabouts at all.

Therefore, the two armies met directly thirty miles outside Xiapi City. Compared with Tao Qian, only Cao Bao and Tao Kan could be regarded as opponents, and among them, Cao Bao was just a make-up.The lineup on Cao Cao's side was very gorgeous. Since Tao Qian was facing him, Cao Cao didn't dare to underestimate Tao Qian, so he brought all the civil servants and generals under his command.However, because Xi Zhicai was not in good health, Cao Cao left Xi Zhicai in the camp.

Most of the soldiers of Cao Cao's army are the original Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, which are much more elite than those under Tao Qian's command. Moreover, after the Cao army entered Xuzhou in the past few days, they have won consecutive battles and never lost.Therefore, Cao Jun's soldiers also had a contempt for the Xuzhou Army.

And Cao Cao and all the counselors under his command knew about this situation, but they didn't want to solve this situation, because Cao Cao also looked down on the combat effectiveness of Xuzhou Army in his heart.

This is true of Cao Cao, not to mention other soldiers under Cao Cao's command.However, it is precisely because the soldiers of the Cao army looked down on the Xuzhou soldiers that the soldiers of the Cao Army were able to exert stronger combat power when fighting the Xuzhou soldiers.

Tao Qian looked at the strong Cao Jun, and sighed again in his heart.But it was too late to say anything at this time, so Tao Qian rode his horse out of the battle, and said to Cao Cao who was in the Cao army's formation: "General Cao, why do you have to force me so hard?"
