Ruo Rong is a magical figure. On the one hand, he believes in Buddhism, and he is also from a powerful family.

On the other hand, he is cruel by nature, ferocious and disregarding the lives of common people, but he recruits many believers.In this cultural environment where most of the clans love Taoism, a Buddhist believer appeared, using the saying that all living beings are suffering, and practicing in this life to enjoy blessings in the next life, foolishly summoned nearly [-] soldiers and subordinates, plundered wealth and food, and Become a force, that Ruo Rong is really awesome, and he can be regarded as a character.

After Ruo Rong fled, he left behind a well-repaired Buddhist temple and well-crafted Buddha statues, and used actions to slap Tao Qian in the face, making Tao Qian, who had mistrusted him, very angry.He also had no other way to vent his anger, let alone use a Buddha statue to vent his anger. He could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his mouth, so angry that he fell ill.

The left and right cronies persuaded Tao Qian: "My lord, you must be steady! If you fall ill, wouldn't Xuzhou really fall into Cao Cao's hands? What's more, leaving Ruo Rong alone, are you really willing?"

Tao Qian regained his spirit and sent someone to chase and kill Ruo Rong.

Ruo Rong fled all the way to Pengcheng, first killed Prime Minister Pengcheng, then fled all the way to Guangling, and killed Xue Li, the prefect of Guangling.Then go all the way to Yangzhou, planning to go to Yangzhou to join Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou who is fighting with the Sun family in Yangzhou.

The loss of two consecutive sheriffs dealt a huge blow to Tao Qian. He was busy arranging his own men in the positions vacated by the two important cities, gathering manpower and dispatching troops to resist Cao's army.

Chen Deng was ordered to be the governor of Guangling, and the troops were stationed in Guangling. Later, he ordered Mi Fang to be the new Prime Minister of Pengcheng to replace the empty position to stabilize the situation.Tao Qian also sent general Zang Ba to station troops in Kaiyang, and Zhang Kai stationed troops in Jiqiu to intercept Cao's attack, while he himself hid in Xiapi.Gather manpower, try to recruit food and grass, make up for the loss that was swept away by Ruo Rong, and stabilize the rear.

Due to repeated fatigue during the illness, Tao Qian's illness came and went again and again, so he could only rely on Biejia Mizhu and Zhizhong Wang Lang to serve him.

Among the Cao army, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu told Cao Cao about Ruo Rong. With this first-hand information, Cao Cao was very pleasantly surprised, and said happily: "This is really helping us. If there is chaos in Xuzhou, our chances will be great." coming!"

He hurriedly ordered to rectify the army, and sent Lu Bu to Kaiyang instead, while he personally attacked Jiqiu, using this as a springboard to take Pengcheng directly!

Cao Cao asked Zhuge Jin again, and learned that the new Prime Minister Pengcheng had an older brother who worked beside Tao Qian, who was forcibly recruited to be an official at the beginning, so he was reluctant, and he also thought about it.

He ordered someone to hand over a letter to Mi Fang, Prime Minister of Pengcheng. The letter stated: What Tao Qian did violated His Majesty's order, and people all over the world attacked him. Now you and your elder brother are forced to do rebellious things under his subordinates. I also know that it is not easy for you, and now I don't need any effort from you, I just want you to do nothing and pretend that you can't.After capturing Xuzhou, I will definitely be grateful to you two. How do you think my strength compares with Tao Qian's?If you abandon the dark and turn to the bright now, I will never embarrass you in the future.

Cao Cao also sent Zhuge Jin to persuade him from the perspective of a friend, and the army was besieged outside Pengcheng. Such a combination of soft and hard tactics put a lot of pressure on Mi Fang.

Because he just took over Pengcheng, Mi Fang didn't have enough handover of things in his hands, he didn't know much about Pengcheng, and he didn't have much control over it. He still hasn't figured out the distribution of officials in it.

Suddenly receiving a message from Cao Cao, Mi Fang thought of her elder brother who was by Tao Qian's side. For the sake of his elder brother's safety, he would not surrender even if he died, but it was feasible to turn a blind eye and pretend that he was not capable enough. .

After Jiqiu was captured by Cao's army, Zhang Kai fled all the way back to Pengcheng, and together with Mi Fang resisted Cao's army.The general who had suffered consecutive defeats persuaded Mi Fang to run away together, otherwise Pengcheng would be unable to defend.

Mi Fang's heart skipped a beat, she was dumbfounded: Even the generals defending the city were about to flee, so why fight?Pengcheng's morale has long since dissipated!

Seeing that Mi Fang was unmoved, Zhang Kai was greatly disappointed. He took away the little food and grass left in Pengcheng by himself, and fled with his soldiers.

After gathering all parties, Tao Qian relied on the support of the big family to obtain another batch of food. He dispatched generals to support Pengcheng, but he didn't want the reinforcements from all over the country to be on the way.

When Tao Qian in Xiapi heard about this, he spat out a mouthful of old blood, and fell ill again, and his panic attack hurt his body the most. It took a lot of effort for the doctor to bring him back from the edge of life and death.

Tao Qian was getting old, and his emotional ups and downs were so intense that even if Zhong Zhong saved his life, he would lie on the bed and could not move. Seeing this, the doctor sighed and told everyone the bad news: Zhou Mu was caught by an evil wind and was paralyzed .

The cronies turned pale with shock, and Mi Zhu and Wang Lang, who were in charge of doing things for Tao Qian, both looked unhappy.

Cao Cao captured Pengcheng, and Lu Bu, who was going to Kaiyang, also received good news. He subdued Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Yin Li and other surrendered generals, and successfully captured Kaiyang City.

As a result, the two armies formed the horns of each other, and attacked Xiapi directly from the west and north.

At the same time, unfavorable news for Cao Cao came from the north. Gongsun Zan lost his territory in a disastrous defeat and died in suicide. Yuan Shao unified Youzhou, Jizhou, and Bingzhou and became the shepherd of the three states.

Where is Sizhou?Sizhou is where Li Jue and Guo Si stayed. It is a large area from Chang'an to Luoyang. The biggest general there is Zhang Yang in Hanoi.

Yuan Shao took advantage of the fact that Cao Cao was fighting in Xuzhou to the east and had no time to take care of it, so he directly hit up Sizhou's idea, and vowed to win Sizhou before Cao Cao captured Xuzhou.

Yuan Shao's speed was so fast that Jiehu was able to fight Li Jue and Guo Si before the Xiliang generals sent by Cao Cao.

A sense of urgency shrouded Cao Cao's heart. He knew that his time was running out, and he would not delay any longer. At dawn, he led the army to surround Xiapi with water.

In Xiapi City, Xuzhou's most elite troops gathered to resist Cao's army. The confrontation in numbers made Cao Cao unable to please for a while. If he wanted to forcibly capture Xiapi, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, his losses would be greater than Tao Qian's. .

Cao Cao is determined to win Xuzhou, and he doesn't even want the Xuzhou army to lose too much. Compared with the two armies losing both sides, when he takes over a devastated Xuzhou, he prefers to use the method of using no blood.

The news of Yuan Shao from the north kept coming, which made Cao Cao very anxious, and he wished to attack Xiapi City with all his strength immediately.

The counselors persuaded Cao Cao to wait a little longer. After Guo Jia and Cheng Yu worked together, relying on the Zhuge family's relationship, they connected with Chen Deng in Guangling. He heard that Xiapi City was besieged by Cao's regiments, and he knew that Tao Qian's situation was over, so he decisively led his troops to join Cao Cao. Those who know the current affairs are heroes, and Chen Deng is the one who knows the current affairs.

After besieging Xiapi City for several days, Cao Cao personally went to the city to command the battle. Tao Qian's cronies in the city gathered to discuss the method of resistance, and they managed to survive temporarily by taking advantage of the favorable location and the number of soldiers.

Tao Qian never showed up during the whole process, Cao Cao was still surprised, but the counselor Xun You, who had been silent for a long time, finally made a big move, he found Cao Cao alone, and respectfully offered a wonderful strategy.

Xun You was respectful and said in a calm tone: "My lord, there are Surabaya and Yishui near Xiapi City. Now it is the time when the rivers are in high tide. If my lord can send someone to destroy the embankment, then these two rivers will flood and become raging. Down, you can directly submerge Xiapi City which is located below it. Once Xiapi City is flooded and the surrounding fields are flooded, the morale of the enemy troops will drop sharply.

After hearing this, Cao Cao praised Xun You and said: "At the critical moment, Gongda's idea caught my eye. You are not stupid at all, but very smart. Next time, don't hide your talent anymore. I like your resourcefulness! "

Cao Cao decisively adopted Xun You's strategy and ordered people to start digging embankments.

The raging river rushes mercilessly into Xiapi City, flooding the fields in the city, and the panic of producing food hangs over the hearts of the people. The government and the army can only live on the original food in the city. People surrounded Xiapi and cut off Tao Qian's support grain line, so that the food outside could not supply Jincheng.

After besieging Xiapi City for several days like this, the defenders in the city gradually became exhausted in nightmares, and every day they worried that Cao Jun would break through the city and rush in.

Soon, news of Tao Qian's death came from the city, and the remaining officials in Xiapi City lost their backbone. Many people came up with the idea of ​​taking refuge in Cao Cao in exchange for safety.

Within half a month, the city of Xiapi was broken, and a large number of officials surrendered to Cao Cao. Tao Qian's ruler Wang Lang, and Mi Zhu, all became Cao Cao's new cabbage in the palm of his hand.

Cao Cao grinned happily from ear to ear: "Wealthy businessman Mi's family, Wan Guan's family, Chen family, Xuzhou's local rich family that has been handed down since the beginning of this dynasty."

There is also the Zhuge family, which is old and young, and the only one who is useful is Zhuge Xuan, who is old-fashioned. Compared with them, Cao Cao is more loyal to Chen Deng, a high-level intellectual, and Mi Zhu, who represents the sweetness of money.

Cao Cao said with emotion: "Poor Tao Qian, who was prosperous in Xuzhou for a while, died of wind paralysis. It is really embarrassing and unexpected."

Considering that Ruo Rong, who had made a huge "contribution", had committed a serious crime, Cao Cao ordered Ruo Rong to be wanted. Not long after, Ruo Rong went to join Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, but the news that he was killed by Liu Yao spread to Xuzhou.

After taking Xuzhou, Cao Cao faced another mess. Xuzhou was indeed rich, but most of the food and grass were in the hands of the big family. Ruo Rong swept away the food and grass of the government, and even made the government of Xuzhou finances hit rock bottom.

Due to the impact of the war, the clan families in Xuzhou, except for the old Chen family and the Mi family who could not get away, all others who could escape fled to the south. Even the Zhuge clan, if there was not Zhuge Xuan, I am afraid. He will also go south to avoid the war.

Fleeing south, fleeing south again!During the war in the Central Plains, those big families took so many troops and money to flee to the south, to open up wasteland in the south, and wanted to rise again, so that the economic recovery of the entire Central Plains was slow, and the center of gravity of the entire economy was hard to shift.

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said harshly: "If they have the ability, don't come back. When they return to this homeland, I will have trained new people who can replace them!"

Guo Jia grinned happily: "It's rare to see my lord sullen. Since those big families don't like you, why should you take them to heart? At least Chen Deng and Mi Zhu are willing to serve you, right? Wang Lang is a famous person anyway, He is also willing to rely on you."

Cao Cao is not sulking here, he is angry when he sees the cabbages fleeing the vegetable garden with their families. Those cabbages with special varieties are prejudiced against the vegetable farmers!

They don't think highly of me, and I'm not willing to appoint them!Cao Cao thought sourly, imagined how much food, money, and books those cabbages had taken away, and his flesh hurt terribly.

"I don't know who will get cheaper in the end."

Guo Jia said with a smile: "It's not Jingzhou, it's Yangzhou. On the other side of the river, if my lord wants to go to the east of the river, I'm afraid I'll have to train a group of sailors first. Of course, my lord has to learn how to swim first. "

Cao Cao knows how to train soldiers, he trains infantry, cavalry, and navy. Cao Cao, who was born in the interior and grew up in the interior, really doesn't know it.

He said stiffly: "Who said I can't swim, I can swim! I just can't fight in water."

"It's too early to say these things now. My next opponent is not on the other side of the river, but Yuan Shao on the other side of the Yellow River in the north!"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao clenched his fists, and a raging fire of fighting spirit burst out of his eyes.

After many years, he and Yuan Shao took the Yellow River as the boundary, and one expanded to the north, and the other expanded to the south. They should not interfere with each other. Cao Cao took Qingzhou and pierced Yuan Shao's territory from the east. Pierce Cao Cao's forces to the west.

The power between the two is no longer bounded by north and south, but has become a mutual embedded terrain in which there is me in you and you in me.

Cao Cao can use Qingzhou as a pedal to attack Yuan Shao's east, and Yuan Shao can also use Sizhou as a hub to attack Cao Cao's west.Cao Cao has developed so far, and he feels that he and Yuan Shao have reached a level of parity, and he is still sure of winning if he wants to fight.As long as Yuan Shao is captured, the annexation of the world will be indomitable and unstoppable. The only one in the world who can compete with him is Yuan Shao. Cao Cao believes that he will be able to kick this stumbling block of Yuan Shao away sooner or later!

Cheng Yu persuaded Cao Cao in a low voice: "My lord, don't be impatient. Before you attack Yuan Shao, you might as well settle down and consolidate the power of the court, so as not to be tricked by villains. Those people will most likely take advantage of you when you can't get away. Come on, your going out to fight is a major event related to the situation of the world, how can you be affected by the fire in the backyard?"

Cao Cao's excitement has slowed down, he has become the lord of the four states, and he is gone!

With counselors persuading him, Cao Cao gradually calmed down. He took a deep breath and suppressed the prehistoric power of wanting to beat up his classmates.

Cao Cao firmly believed: I can hold on!

On the other hand, Yuan Shao, who captured Li Jue and Guo Si by surprise, sent people to settle in Sizhou and recruited troops to surrender. He closed his door almost every day to study the situation on Cao Cao's side. However, whenever he asked his advisers for their opinions, he would never leave Cao Cao's words. , as if his whole mind had been taken away by Cao Cao, no matter it was day or night, what he thought about the most was how to beat Cao Cao, this obsession made the crowd want to persuade him to be prudent and rest up The counselors all shut their mouths.
