Chapter 420

Xia Hou yuan looks happy: "the letter of jade Qing arrived?" At that time, Xia Houyuan and Liu Ye cooperated with each other to enter the granary of BOCAI Ministry of changshe and defeated the enemy in the first World War. Their friendship was quite deep.

But Cao Cao's face was happy, then suddenly changed.

Did you hear from Yu Qing? How could it be that at this juncture, Cao Cao said to Cheng Yu, "Zhong De, read."

"No Cheng Yu, who is tall and tall, takes over the letter. After a quick scan, he frowns.

"Why, can't the general of chariots stop Cao from entering the army?" Cao Cao's tone is not good.

Cheng Yulian said: "brother mengde was personally enlightened, and my younger brother Yuqing was also very upset when I heard of the death of the old Duke. However, the art of war said that he would not start his army because of his anger. As a great official of the imperial court, he knew the law well, how could he send troops to attack Xuzhou?"

"Zhang Kai was motivated by money, but not by Tao's intention to murder the old prince. Now mengde has captured Langya county. Someone has convinced the emperor to put Langya County under the rule of Qingzhou. In addition, he ordered Tao Qian to give food and grass Wanshi and brother mengde. It is also very difficult for brother mengde to support millions of yellow scarf thieves in Qingzhou. In addition, old Duke Cao can be named as Taifu. If brother Meng De thinks of your friendship with me, he should withdraw from the army. Remember that. "

In this letter, Liu Ye didn't use the big hat of the imperial court directly. Instead, he was based on the personal relationship between himself and Cao Cao. Brother Meng De, you can understand that the old master died, but it was Zhang Kai's fault. You can't find Tao Qian. But when your father is dead, I can understand that he ceded Langya County, gave you ten thousand stones of grain and grass, and pursued Cao Song, you get land and money, dad is also sought after. Are you satisfied?

After reading the letter, Cao Cao's face slowed down a little: "it seems that although Yuqing has been named a general of chariots and horses, but there are still some old feelings."

Xia Houyuan's steps stopped, wondering, "my Lord, is our army retreating or..."

Cao Cao shakes his head: "do not have to retreat, seconds just you and reorganize the troops, immediately rush to xiapi!"

Xia Hou yuan looks embarrassed, but still firmly nods: "Yuan understood."

When Xia Houyuan came out of the camp, Cheng Yu said, "my Lord, it's an established thing to attack Xuzhou, but from now on, I'm afraid I'll have a bad friendship with Liu Qiqi."

Where is Cao Cao's hand in hand? When Chong'er was exiled to the state of Chu, he received the courtesy of King Cheng of Chu. He said that he wanted to repay King Cheng of Chu. The so-called "retreat" was obviously to repay King Cheng of Chu for his kindness, but in fact it was to show the enemy's weakness and break the Chu army. Thus, it can be seen that fighting for hegemony over the world is just a way of self defeating if he cares about his personal feelings. "

The actor nodded and said, "yes, the most important thing now is to attack Xuzhou! Once the two prefectures of Qing and Xu were occupied by Yuan Shao in the north, our army would quickly pacify the Central Plains. At that time, it may not be possible for the six countries in Northeast China to join forces. Even if Liu Ye is a strong Qin, he may not be able to fight! "

Cao Cao nodded, and his face was rather complicated: "Yu Qing... General of the chariots..."

although Cao Cao received a letter from Liu Ye, he was determined to attack Xuzhou.

Xia Houyuan, the commander of the Dian army, quietly left the camp in the night. Unconsciously, he had been far away from Shan county, but Cao Bao didn't know it. After all, 5000 people were suddenly missing from the camp of the 50000 army, which is basically difficult to distinguish.

After leaving Shanxian County, Xia Houyuan immediately gave full play to his marching style, led 5000 elite soldiers all the way south, crossed Siwu City, and entered xiapi county from Donghai County.

Xia Houyuan led his army to pass through the hidden place intentionally. In addition, the garrison in Xuzhou was guarding the city and did not go out of the city to fight in the field. Therefore, no one found Xia Houyuan's track all the way.

At noon the next day, five thousand elite soldiers of XiaHouYuan's headquarters suddenly appeared in xiapi city.

"Attack the city!"

Under the command of Xia Houyuan, 5000 troops cut down the trees around the city to make a ladder. They suppressed the xiapi garrison at the head of the city with the fierce arrow rain of archers, and the infantry first mounted a fierce attack.

Although there are as many as ten thousand garrisons in xiapi City, on the one hand, Xuzhou has been comfortable for a long time. On the other hand, they were unprepared for the appearance of XiaHouYuan's army, so they were shocked. At that time, they were attacked by Cao's army.

At the critical moment, Tao Qian went to battle in person and supervised the battle in front of the city. When the xiapi garrison saw Tao Qian show up in person, their morale suddenly rose and drove Xia Houyuan's army down from the city.

However, the war made Tao Qian feel cold sweat. The next day, Tao Qian went to the city to watch. Xia Houyuan ordered five thousand soldiers to cut wood and camp overnight, and built a camp of ten thousand people. Moreover, he played the banner of Cao Cao.

"Tao Xiangjun, it seems that Cao Cao, who was apparently besieging Shan county, actually led the elite soldiers to attack xiapi in person. Would you like to ask general Cao Bao to lead Danyang elite troops to come back?" Mi Fang said eagerly.

However, Tao Qian frowned: "but, how do we know which way is the main force of Cao Cao? If Cao Cao attacked xiapi just to contain our army, he actually deployed heavy troops in Shan county and Qu county. In case Cao Bao came back, wouldn't Donghai County hand over to others? "

Mi Fang said bitterly: "yesterday, the attack of Cao army was so fierce that it must have been seen by Tao that the long-distance attack of the enemy was already a tired division, but it was still able to attack the head of the city. This shows that it is the main force of Cao's army, and the main force of Cao's army must have reached the lower part of the city.""Xiapi is the place where Xuzhou Prefecture governs. If xiapi is lost, Xuzhou people's will will fluctuate." Mi Fang sighed: "besides, Cao Bao's family is still in xiapi city. If he knew that Cao Jun was attacking xiapi, he was afraid that he would come uninvited. He might as well write a letter to ask general Cao to come back."

Tao Qian Ning eyebrow thought hard for a while and sighed: "well, in this case, let Cao Bao come back, but we must order Zhao Yu to defend Donghai County."

"By the way, Zifang, you go to Yuan Shu's army again. This time, don't go to Runan County, but go directly to Xiaoxian county. Please send troops quickly. I'm willing to add three thousand stones of grain and grass!"

Mi Fang nodded: "Fang understand."

Because Xia Houyuan besieged xiapi, Tao Qian did not know the enemy's situation, so he had to send letters to Shan county.

Xia Houyuan led his army to shoot several messengers and deliberately let them go.

Tao Qian sent messengers from xiapi city to run day and night. Within two days, they arrived in Shanxian County and sent the letter written by Tao Qian to Cao Bao.

When Cao Bao saw the letter, he was shocked, not only because Cao Jun suddenly attacked xiapi, but also because Cao Bao's industry and his family were in xiapi. If xiapi was lost, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Zhao Taishou, you guard the city well, you must rush back to xiapi!"

After telling Zhao Yu, the governor of Donghai, Cao Bao led 20000 Danyang soldiers to the south.
