Cao Cao was very happy, because his power was at its zenith recently. He succeeded in conquering millions of yellow turban thieves in Qingzhou, and his strength was greatly increased. Although Yuan Shao won the battle of Jieqiao, Gongsun Zan has a deep reputation and deep foundation in Youzhou. He is a hundred footed person who is not rigid. It may take some time for Yuan Shao to unify Hebei.
Cao Cao felt that it seemed that there could be a struggle in this world.
"Lord!"
At this time, Xunzi suddenly walked in like the wind, his face was in a hurry, and Cao Cao could not help looking strange. You should know that Xunzi has always been a gentleman's style, and Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, but his color did not change. How could it be this face now?
Suddenly, Cao Cao seemed to feel something wrong: "Wenruo, what's wrong?"
Xunzi walked quickly to Cao Cao and took a look at him.
"My Lord, old Taigong, he..."
"eh?" Cao Cao's face changed and he forced himself to calm down and said, "Wen Ruo, but it doesn't matter."
"Lord, old Tao Qian sent troops to escort the old Duke and his party. As a result, Zhang Kai, the Duwei under his command, decided to kill the old prince and other 80 people..." Xunzi murmured.
"What?" Cao Cao only felt a buzzing sound in his head, as if something exploded. A strong pain filled his mind, like thousands of needles.
"I am angry, I am angry!" Cao Cao's face was red and he was at a loss. He walked back and forth in the hall. His face was so red that he could almost shoot out red light in his eyes.
"My Lord, when the old prince is assassinated, my Lord's mood can be understood, but..."
"shut up, call up the generals!" Cao Cao slapped his hands on the table and burst into a wild animal like roar. His eyes were fixed on Xunzi.
"Alas." Xunzi sighed helplessly
After all, Xunzi went out, not because he didn't want to stop Cao Cao, but because he had been following Cao Cao for too long and knew Cao Cao like the palm of his hand. Now Cao Cao has been completely infuriated. It's almost impossible to stop him. Don't waste your breath.
As Cao Cao's chief military officer, Xunzi's mind has been fully mobilized, how to dispatch generals, how to raise food and grass, soon entered the state.
Although Liu Ye is invincible, he has spent a lot of food and grass in the army for many years. It is estimated that it is difficult for him to reach Xuzhou. Yuan Shao, as an ally, and having just had a bloody battle with Gongsun Zan, is not expected to send troops.
The only thing to worry about is Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu himself is Tao Qian's ally, and he has always been a great success. Although he failed to meet Liu Ye, he would not be able to look at Qingzhou...
shortly after that, the officers of the Cao clan, Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu and other literary ministers were gathered, No one is a hero in the world.
Cao Cao's head was wrapped in a piece of white cloth. His eyes were red. He gnashed his teeth and said, "Tao Qian, master! Is it a son of man that connives at thieves and kills my father
"Lord!" Xia Houdun, the chief general, suddenly stepped forward, clasped his fist and said, "although the thief killed Zhang Kai, it must be Tao Qian's instigation. The last general has just got a member of the general recently. He is Chen Liuji and his name is Dianwei. He can drive the tiger across the stream, and he will be willing to be the pioneer!"
Cao Cao fixed his eyes and saw a big man standing behind the banquet with his arms in his arms. His face was full of curly beards and his tiger eyes were bright. The green veins on his arms seemed to be intertwined with old roots and nodded.
"Good! Xia Houdun is the vanguard, leading 20000 soldiers, Dianwei, lejin as the assistant, and Cheng Yu is the military counsellor
"No!"
Cao Cao looked around at the civil and martial arts under the tent and said in a loud voice: "some one personally led 30000 elite soldiers for the central army, accompanied by Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong, and dramatists."
"Wenruo, you stay in Linzi, and Cao Ren stationed in Qingzhou, transporting grain and grass, there must be no mistake." Cao Cao looked at Xunzi.
"No Xunzi agreed, but frowned: "my Lord, it is too much to mobilize troops this time. Our army has just taken in hundreds of thousands of yellow scarf thieves. There is a very large gap in grain and grass. I'm afraid it will not last for a long time."
Cao Cao frowned. The reason why he mobilized 50000 troops this time is to frighten Xuzhou, but the problem of food and grass is really not easy to solve. As the saying goes, the emperor does not need hungry soldiers. If the food and grass are not enough...
"if the Lord does not dislike it, Yu here has a plan." Cheng Yu suddenly said.
"Come quickly."
Cheng Yu said: "it's said that old Tao Qian has won the hearts of the people in Xuzhou. When our army attacks Xuzhou, we will inevitably encounter many obstacles. The Lord can attack the city, slaughter the whole city, and then cut off the flesh of the dead body and marinate it into meat. It is called" human breast. "
"In this way, we can not only solve the problem of grain and forage, but also inform Xuzhou city that if we keep up with the wind, we can be the people under the rule of the Lord. If we dare to resist, we can eradicate the roots." Cheng Yu sneered: "in this way, the people of Xuzhou must not dare to resist the front of the Lord and soldiers, and they will surely fall in the wind!"
How spicy!
Both Xi Zhicai and Xunzi looked at Cheng Yu at the same time, and they had different feelings in their hearts."My Lord, never Xunzi quickly arched his hands and said: "since ancient times, those who have won the hearts of the people have won the world. Xiang Yu burned the Afang palace pit and killed 200000 Qin troops. He lost the heart of the Qin people in Guanzhong. Gaozu made three laws to win the hearts of the Qin people. Gaozu attacked and killed King Xiang with the Qin people. If the Lord slaughters the people of Xuzhou, the people of Xuzhou will try their best to resist it. Moreover, it will greatly lose the hearts of the people in the world. It is absolutely not advisable to do so. "
"No, no!" Cheng Yu shook his head and retorted: "just now someone has made a promise. Those who resist in a corner will be cut off. If they surrender, they will not be responsible for the past. The chief villain is Tao Qian's old man. Those who are willing to abandon the secret are treated equally. If you continue to follow Tao Qian, you will be an accomplice! "
"What's more, if you don't take care of people, how can you solve the problem of food and grass?" Cheng Yu asked.
Xunzi shook his head: "we will try our best to raise food and forage. However, the plan of this person's breast and the strategy of slaughtering the city are not desirable."
After that, Xunzi looked up at Cao Cao and said, "please judge me clearly."
Cheng Yu said in the same way: "please judge me clearly!"
Cao Cao's eyes were deep, and he said, "old Tao Qian killed my father. This revenge must be avenged! Wen, if you prepare food and grass, Zhongde will be responsible for the care of people. "
Cheng Yu smile, Cao Cao adopted his strategy, which will be his door in Cao camp.
"Alas..." Xun Wei sighed and shook his head helplessly.
"Well, all the generals will go down and prepare to capture Xuzhou and dominate the Central Plains."
"No!"
The generals followed Cao Cao's orders and went down to prepare, and Qingzhou made a lot of efforts.
