If you don't wear women's clothes, the big man will die!

After everything was ready, Cao Cao asked the emperor Liu Xie to fight, and he asked to fight in Xuzhou to subdue the rebels. Tao Qian was charged with a series of crimes in the above table. The biggest crime was to seek help from the emperor when he was in trouble When helping, Tao Qian stood on the sidelines and refused to lend a helping hand.

Cao Cao said: "Xuzhou is a rich place. There are many local scholars. The granaries of rich merchants and wealthy families are piled up. They are able to help His Majesty, but they didn't send a single soldier to rescue him. It can be seen that Xuzhou Mu has long been dissatisfied and despised His Majesty. , This is the traitor of the Han Dynasty!"

In addition, resisting the decree and disrespecting, privately stationed troops in prefectures and counties, and raised a large number of soldiers. It seems that he has become the emperor of Xuzhou, owns a country within a country, and is only one name away from being called emperor. !

The list of crimes in the above table is a long list, of course not Cao Cao’s own thinking, and the many benefits of his subordinates’ literature are also reflected, since the literati are the ones who write the high-sounding words for Cao Cao, and keep them so that Cao Cao will not lose them. face.

People with power in the government and the opposition said they wanted to attack Xuzhou, but it was nothing more than a situation when they told the court. Cao Cao had already started preparations, and the food, grass and supplies went to the south first. Everyone knew it well, and no one dared to offend Cao Cao at this time. , to say something against it.

The little emperor Liu Xie heard the phrase that Tao Qian never spent a single soldier to rescue the emperor, his eyes fluctuated, he sat alone on a high place, seeing the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty bowing their heads under the majesty of Cao Cao, like a man Gorgeous decorations, placed over there as a vase, no one cares what he is thinking.

Soon, the emperor made Cao Cao the commander-in-chief and took the post of Hussar General to lead the army to attack Xuzhou.

After the mobilization of the Xuchang court was completed, Cao Cao, who had an imperial edict, waved his troops to the southeast, holding the banner of suppressing the rebellion.

The army first arrived outside Taishan County, and Xuzhou would not be completely unresponsive. They mobilized heavy troops to guard the border of Xuzhou. Taishan County was originally his former government. Cao Cao knew this well. The local officials and small landlords still remember Cao Cao, the former lord, saw the army approaching in darkness, the flags fluttering almost covering the sky, and the characters Cao made of dark blue cloth and gold stamping were everywhere. The morale of the defenders was not right.

Tao Qian heard that Cao Cao had dispatched nearly 30 troops to attack, while the total strength of Xuzhou was less than half of that. Seeing that the situation in the first battle was not good, the guards who stayed in Taishan County received Tao Qian's news and retreated strategically, retreating eastward to Dongguan County.

Cao Cao drove his army to Fei County in the south of Taishan County, and Lu Bu, who was the pioneer, led his army to Nancheng in the south of Fei County. At the same time, Cao Ren went north and handed over Liu Bei's army from Laiwu in the north of Taishan County. Between Cao Cao and Lu Bu stationed troops, they took the lead in capturing the territory of Xuzhou, fought fiercely with the defenders, and went straight to Mengyin, a strategic city in the west of Dongguan County.

The geographical location of Xuzhou is Dongguan County adjacent to Qingzhou and Yanzhou in the north, Langya County adjacent to Yanzhou to the south from Dongguan County, and Donghai County adjacent to Yuzhou from Langya to the south.

A total of six grain counties were provided to the three armies, and troops were drawn from Yuzhou. General Cao Hong led the army to put pressure on Tao Qian from the East China Sea.

The most important combat force was in the hands of Cao Cao. He personally led the main army and used the attack on Langya County as a breakthrough point.

Langya County, also known as Langya Country, is the fiefdom of the Liu clan. In Langya County, apart from the wealthy families, the one with the most servants and farmers is of course the fief King Langya.

The last king of Langya, Shun Wang, Liu Rong, has been dead for three years. The current king of Langya, named Liu Xi, is the son of Liu Rong. Indulging in pleasure, Cao Cao ordered the king of Langya, Liu Xi, to abandon the dark and turn to the bright with the emperor's decree. He said bluntly that following Tao Qian was a traitor.

Liu Xi was frightened out of his wits when he heard this. Tao Qian was afraid that Liu Xi would not be able to stabilize himself, so he hurriedly sent someone to persuade Liu Xi, "Now who doesn't know that Cao Cao is holding the emperor hostage and giving orders? Why is he attacking Xuzhou for the sake of Han?" Sir, it is for your own selfish desires! Once you let him capture Xuzhou, can you still enjoy yourself like you are now? When the Langya Kingdom is replaced with new sheriffs and officials, Cao Cao will do things to make you empty, and it sounds nice Some are honored, and some are ugly, so what is the difference from confinement?"

The envoy Tao Qian sent was Cao Hong, Tao Qian's confidant. This middle-aged man was not good-looking, but he had some clever minds. Cao Hong subdued Liu Xi in a low voice: "Although Xuzhou's soldiers and horses are not as many as Cao's, But it's not impossible to win. We have natural dangers to defend, and we have the background of the major families. As long as everyone works together, I will find other helpers, whether it is Liu Yao, the shepherd of Yangzhou in the south of us, or Liu Biao and Yuan Shao. But all far-sighted princes will not see Cao Cao grow up."

Liu Xi was really appeased. In order to express his support for Tao Qian's decision, the Langya King sent servants and guards from his fief to donate five thousand stones of food and grass.

Due to the attack of Cao Cao's army, all parts of Xuzhou were like frightened birds. The timid ones first thought of fleeing south, but Tao Qianneng caught a few and detained them. There was no sudden chaos. In a short period of time, after the "donations" of the major families and the background of the Xuzhou government, Tao Qian gathered nearly 20 people to resist Cao Cao, and the grain and grass behind the army were piled up as high as a mountain.

The battle on the front line has already begun, and spies have sneaked into it from the rear. Cao Cao led his army from Fei County to Linyi in Langya, and Lv Bu also came from Nancheng to Cangshan Mountain. Once Lv Bu passes Cangshan Mountain, he will be in Linyi. He can join Cao Cao's army, and the two armies will form The momentum of encircling Langya, judging from the situation, is actually the ambition to win Langya County.

The guard Zhang Kai led an army to a fierce battle with Cao Cao, vowing to defend the city gate to the death. The city wall of Linyi City was completely built and difficult to break through. Thousands of arrows were fired from the top of the enemy tower, and sometimes flying stones rolled down, hurting Cao soldiers who were attacking the city.

There are ten large-scale siege equipment trebuchets outside the city, and it is not easy to transport them here. Every time a trebuchet throws a boulder, it takes nearly ten people to work together to load and unload it. The efficiency is slow, but it is the only one that can be broken by it. The other means of the city is to build a ladder, rely on manpower to rush up the city wall, hit the city gate with siege logs, and break through the city gate with numbers to guard it.

The morale of the Xuzhou army in Linyi City is high, and they will not be able to break through the city for a while. If they continue to spend here, they will only lose their soldiers in vain. Cao Cao murmured: "It is best to avoid useless attrition."

Cao Cao, the counselor who came with the army this time, brought three people, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and Xun You. Yu came up with ideas for Cao Cao one after another, and Xun You, who hadn't figured out Cao Cao's thoughts for the time being, was quietly a bystander. He seemed dull on the outside as if he didn't understand what they said, but secretly he pricked up his ears and played ten times. Divide the spirit to absorb information.

Guo Jiadao: "Xiao Jian, the governor of Langya County, is also a person who is dissatisfied with Tao Qian! When Tao Qian issued the decree, he bypassed Xiao Jian. Now in Linyi City, it is the guard Zhang Kai who is unambiguous, and Xiao Jian has lost. Authority, why don't you offer an olive branch to Xiao Jian, my lord?"

"Tao Qian already knew that Xiao Jian was dissatisfied with him. He must have sent someone to guard Xiao Jian at this time. It is not easy to contact him." Cheng Yu stroked his beard and thought deeply: "Where is King Langya? Do you want to answer my lord?"

Cao Cao snorted coldly: "Liu Xi doesn't have much opinion at such a young age. Tao Qian must have deceived him with sweet words. Since he can't win over King Langya's power, he can only start from the side."

"If you want to contact the local clan in Xuzhou, I'm afraid you still need my lord to beat Langya down, so that they can see your strength, and then they will consider the possibility of taking refuge in your lord. The only thing in front of you now is to speed up the attrition to attack as soon as possible, or Siege the city slowly to consume slowly, the former will lose soldiers, and the latter will not have enough food and grass."

Cao Cao: "Wait for news from Lu Bu. As soon as Lu Bu arrives, join forces and launch a general attack!"

Lu Bu was delayed in Cangshan for a while because the mountain road was difficult and the cavalry was slow. Once they bypassed Cangshan and traveled outside Linyi City, their marching speed accelerated, and within two days they joined Cao Cao's army.

Cao Jun's main force joined forces, and the number of banners was twice as large as before!Zhang Kai was shocked. Seeing the enemy's capture on the city wall, Lu Bu's shouts were heard outside the city. Looking around, the small point representing Cao Cao was very close. The sound of drums was loud, and there was a signal for an all-out attack. The guard Zhang Kai shouted : "Withdraw troops!"

So he led his cronies and several teams to abandon the city and fled.

The destruction of Linyi City is tantamount to the panic of putting them under other people's knives for the people inside the city wall. When Cao Jun entered Linyi, the mighty soldiers and horses, the shields and spears were excellent, the armor was stained with blood, and the handsome flags flying around were drowned. The roads of the entire town were blocked, and the people of every household closed their doors and windows, hiding in their houses in fear.

The Linyi city wall is an important line of defense. Once this line of defense is breached, several townships and counties within the city wall will be exposed to the enemy's lips. Once a military disaster occurs, unrestrained soldiers come to smash and loot, and the nearby cities and villages will be wiped out. hit.

Yangdu County in Linyi City is the hometown of the Zhuge family, and only the elderly and children are left in the main family. Not long ago, Zhuge Gui, the pillar of the family, died of illness, which made the situation even worse in the precarious situation.

The old man, Zhuge Ji, is over seventy years old, his cloudy eyes are hard to see, and he needs his grandson to support him when he walks.

The third-generation descendant Zhuge Jin was forced to take on the family responsibility, presided over his father's funeral, recruited clan members, took care of younger brothers and sisters, and had to be filial to the old man who was in poor health.

Zhuge's family was gloomy. Under such a sad situation, the news of Cao Jun's attack on Langya added to the crisis for them.

The old man Zhuge Ji recruited three grandchildren and said to them: "Now the family can only rely on you to manage the family. Your father died of illness, and now there is no news of your uncle who should be able to support the family business. The family is about to suffer a crisis." , now I can think of a way to protect you, the only way is to ask you to take away your younger brothers and sisters and go south to Jingzhou to avoid the disaster of war."

Zhuge Ji is not optimistic about Tao Qian's ability to defend Xuzhou. Seeing that this place is about to become a place of war, the old guy who will drag down his grandchildren like him should stay here. Life or death is up to fate. The grandchildren are still young. There are still infinite possibilities in the future, but they cannot be compromised here.

Hearing his grandfather's heavy voice, Zhuge Jun, who was the youngest, was already weeping.The only thing that comforts Zhuge Ji is that the eldest grandson Zhuge Jin has grown up.

"Ziyu has been intelligent since childhood," Zhuge Ji said slowly, "You are kind-hearted and well-read. Although you have never gone out to practice, I believe that you can take good care of your younger brothers and sisters. In this situation, I have to believe it. A Liang Even though he is young, he is also a smart and quick-witted child who can help you take care of your siblings. As for Ah Jun, you should listen to your two elder brothers more and stop being naughty. Without your father and grandfather, you still have brothers, as long as you The three brothers support each other and help each other in the same boat, and there is no hardship that cannot be overcome."

Zhuge Ji sighed: "You all set off tonight, the sooner you leave, the better."

The three grandsons knelt and bid farewell to the old man with tears in their eyes, and went to find the sisters and packed up the things they needed to go south.

Who would have thought that Cao Jun's attack was so fast, coming like a torrential rain, but the defender Zhang Kai left the huge city and led his army to escape!

It was not yet dark, but the city was already broken. After the city was broken, everyone who could escape escaped. The only one who could not escape was hiding at home. Fortunately, he escaped unharmed. The only one who was caught halfway was a dog. Dedicated to the rebellious army.

Zhuge Ji was lucky that no army would notice Zhuge's family, but the servants came to report, a large number of Cao's troops gathered outside the door, the ground was almost cracked by the sound of horseshoes, Zhuge Ji's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly recruited a few children, He said solemnly: "You immediately hide in the cellar, don't come out! There is no money in the house, and there are only some books, no matter what sounds you hear, as long as there are human voices, don't come out."

Several children cried in fright, but it was Zhuge Jin who stabilized them, persuaded the brothers and sisters to the cellar with his second brother, and respectfully begged Zhuge Ji to take refuge together, but the old man said: "The servants at home have never escaped, and I How can I leave them behind? The army came to my house as guests, how can the master not be at home? Don’t say any more, leave quickly, and I’m going to be angry!”

Zhuge Jin had no choice but to follow the old man's wishes.

Cao Jun really surrounded Zhuge's family. This behavior is like the rebellious army that will burn, kill and loot after breaking through the city. Do not swallow them in your belly.

They waited outside the door for a while, Zhuge Ji was already fully dressed, prepared tea and sat in the hall, waiting for Cao Jun to invade the house, he also made up his mind, the old man will die as soon as he dies, the grandchildren must not have any accidents, Zhuge The family can't die!

Cao Jun didn't call for anyone to open the door, so he had to break open the door first and then the soldiers. The servants scattered, or fled here, or fled to Zhuge Ji's side, chaotic like a farce.

The civil servants headed by Cao Jun stepped into the house and stopped the servant who couldn't escape. The servant saw that it was Zhugexuan, the second son, who had returned, and exclaimed.

Seeing the white cloth hanging in the house, Zhuge Xuan seemed to have died of some important person, and felt sad from it, and asked repeatedly: "Where's father?!"

The servant knelt down and said, "Master is in the hall! I'm going to report to Second Young Master right now."

Zhuge Xuan was stunned for a moment, the servant had already scrambled and ran towards the hall, and he hurriedly followed.

Only the servant shouted into the hall from all the way: "Master, the Second Young Master is back, it is the Second Young Master who is back!"

Zhuge Ji got up when he heard that, and hurried to the door, seeing that his second son was wearing a civil servant's robe, he felt relieved.

Li Dian, the general who escorted Zhuge Xuan, waited outside the hall. He did not disturb the reunion of Zhuge Xuan and his son, but Zhuge Xuan said sadly: "My brother died of illness?! Where are my nephews!"

Zhuge Ji hurriedly ordered people to go to the cellar to invite all the grandchildren out, and the family was reunited. After the crisis was resolved, the two girls couldn't help crying.

Under Zhuge Xuan's explanation, the old man learned that after Yuzhou was captured by Cao Cao, Cao Cao recruited people on the basis of their talents, but all those who were talented and learned and did not oppose him were reused, and he was therefore recruited by the Sikong Mansion. Winning a place is completely different from the rumors of violence against Cao Cao in Xuzhou.

With Zhuge Xuan's relationship, even if Xuzhou is captured by Cao Cao, there is no need to worry about the lives of the whole family. Go south to the land of Jingchu.

"In the next few years, apart from Jingzhou, the only place under Xuchang's governance will be the safest place." Zhuge Ji said with emotion.

Cao Cao is like the sun rising from the east, like a rising lion, opening a hole in this troubled world with unstoppable momentum, and is about to swallow the world into his belly. Zhuge Ji doesn't know whether he will fall in the future, but Judging from the current situation, Cao Cao's momentum will become the trend in the next few years.

After capturing Linyi City with all his strength, Cao Cao released Xiao Jian, the governor of Langya County who was under house arrest. Xiao Jian shouted: "Don't let Cao Hong go, he is Tao Qian's confidant."

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and his subordinates reacted very quickly. They found Cao Hong who was hiding among the civil servants and waited for Cao Cao's punishment.

There are many people with the surname Cao in this world, there are also people with the same name and surname, and there are people with the same character!For example, one of Cao Cao's subordinates was named Mao Jie, whose character was Fengxian, which was the same as that of Lu Bu.It was normal for a middle-aged man named Cao Hong to appear. Cao Cao ordered people to kill the middle-aged literati named Cao Hong.

Cao Cao: I didn't kill him because his name was the same as Ah Hong, but because he was loyal to Tao Qian and insulted me!

Cheng Yu reminded Cao Cao weakly: "This person has worked with Tao Qian for many years, so he should be able to obtain a lot of information by torture."

"He's not the only one who knows about Tao Qian, and it's not a bad idea to use this 'loyal minister' to make an example to others," Guo Jia laughed and revealed the matter with a smile. Seeing that Cao Cao didn't say anything, he quietly touched Cheng Yu. , and signaled with his eyes: You idiot!

Cheng Yu showed an innocent expression. He always gave people the impression of being cunning and calculating. It was rare for him to get stuck like this. It was because his temper was not smooth enough to understand Cao Cao's heart.

Guo Jia shook his head bitterly at Cheng Yu's state of "not seeking to make progress" and not competing for favor. When a newcomer arrives, what should an honest person like Cheng Yu do?In the future, he will have to be forgotten by the lord to the horizon, which really breaks his heart.

After taking down Linyi, an important city in Langya County, Cao Cao subdued Xiao Jian, the governor of Langya County, and with the help of Xiao Jian, he quickly grasped the local power. Then Cao Cao held a meeting and told everyone: "I plan to take Linyi as the center and lead the army to Attack Kaiyang from the north, and send Lu Bu to attack Jiqiu in the southeast."

At the same time, the counselors also took action.

Zhuge Xuan settled down his family and recommended a new person to Cao Cao. It was his nephew named Zhuge Jin.

This Zhuge Jin was young and immature, and his biggest advantage was that he liked to make friends, and he had contacts with both the Chen family and the Mi family. Cao Cao heard this, recruited Zhuge Jin into the camp alone, and asked about the affairs of the several big families.

Zhuge Jin answered one by one, neither humble nor overbearing, just this courage to not be afraid of Cao Cao's majesty already impressed him, and what made him feel more cordial was that Zhuge Jin was shorter than him.

Cao Cao was amiable throughout the whole process, obviously in a good mood.

As for Guo Jia and Cheng Yu, the two great counselors hit it off and arrived at the place where Langya King Liu Xi was.

Guo Jia instigated Cheng Yu: "If you don't behave, you will no longer have your place by the lord's side! Are you not in a hurry? Now that the lord is going to attack Xuzhou, it is a good time to make meritorious deeds. Langya King Liu Xi knows a lot of Xuzhou's secrets, why don't we Let's start with him!"

Cheng Yu didn't comment, as if he had been fooled, and followed Guo Jia's orders in everything, but he didn't show himself, nor did he stand out.

Guo Jia shook his head, feeling that Cheng Yu was too honest and careful.

Liu Xi obviously did not cooperate with Guo Jia's questioning, Guo Jia tried to lure him with words, Liu Xi closed his eyes, pretended to be asleep, and refused to cooperate.

Guo Jia shrugged his shoulders: "Liu Xi has a strong heart to resist, and it is difficult to be deceived. Now it seems that it is better to leave this matter to the lord."

The honest man Cheng Yu glanced at him and made a big move flatly.

He gathered nearly ten cronies of King Langya, together with a dozen people who worked for Tao Qian in Linyi, to Liu Xi, and tortured them severely by various methods. , and then intimidated and coaxed, Liu Xi was scared out of his wits, and even peed in his pants in public.

Eight of Langya's cronies died overnight, two were seriously injured, and only one of Tao Qian's more than a dozen officials survived. Isn't it jaw-dropping that such an insane method was done by an honest man, Cheng Yu?

Guo Jia was speechless secretly: "Will this be too much? King Langya is a clan member of the Han family after all. If you do this, people will criticize you. If you use too drastic methods, you will also displease the lord."

Guo Jia said in a low voice: "My lord favors and trusts counselors who advise him, who are gentle, amiable, understanding, intelligent, and generous..." Refer to Bai Yueguang's play Zhicai!

Cheng Yu said seriously: "With your soft deception methods, you don't know when you will be able to ask for useful information and do extraordinary things at extraordinary times. As long as the lord can get the most benefit, even if it is against morality, I don't hesitate, just listen to what King Langya will say."

Langya King Liu Xi can even dream of Cheng Yu's terrifying coffin face now!

In a trembling voice, he explained to Ruo Rong, the main person in charge of grain and grass transportation in Xuzhou.

The reason why he got acquainted with Ruo Rong was because he likes to have fun, and Ruo Rong is so rich in his own pockets, the two hit it off immediately and greedy for a lot of government supplies.

Liu Xidao: "Ze Rong is in charge of the transportation of grain and grass in the three counties of Xiapi, Pengcheng and Guangling, and is the largest grain transportation officer in Xuzhou."

This Ruo Rong is in charge of such a fat vacancy, but he is a greedy person. For several years in a row, he took the materials transported in the three counties as his own, used them to build Buddhist temples, built a big Buddha, and attracted a large number of believers with Buddhist ceremonies.

Guo Jia: "Does he believe in Buddhism?"

This is really strange, at this moment, most scholars believe in Taoism, and there are also people who believe in Buddhism, but they are very rare.

"The world is in chaos, and some people are in distress. Great virtuous teachers can use talisman water to attract believers, and Ruo Rong can use Buddhist rituals to deceive believers." Cheng Yu said flatly, "All are not tolerated by the lord."

Liu Xi added: "However, when Ruo Rong heard that Cao Cao was coming to attack, he already took his money and went south for his life."

Cheng Yu: "..."

Everyone ran away, you are still talking fart!

Maybe he was intimidated by the livid-faced Cheng Yu, Liu Xi trembled again, he was afraid that the fierce coffin face in front of him would kill him like this, so he hurriedly added incoherently: "Ze Rong ran to Guangling , he took away so much food and wealth, Tao Qian must be furious, this is Cao Cao's opportunity!"

The author has something to say: I don’t know why, but I put the face of “An Lingrong” on Cheng Yu, (thought deeply
