Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 430: Cao Cao Ding Xuzhou

It turned out that Tao Qian had lost all his strength and could no longer speak.

"Shijun Tao, Shijun Tao!"

Liu Bei was stunned. He held Tao Qian's wrist with both hands and shook it gently, but Tao Qian did not respond. Xuzhou Wenwu cried bitterly when they saw this scene, but Mi Zhu remained calm.

"Duke Xuande, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and Xuzhou cannot be ruled for a day. Since Tao Shijun has given the Xuzhou provincial governor's seal to Duke Xuande before his death, please ask Xuan Degong to take over as the governor of Xuzhou." Mi Zhu said sternly.

Liu Bei shook his head: "Isn't this taking advantage of others?"

Zhang Fei dissatisfied: "Brother, you are really long-winded, this is the last wish of the Taoist Emperor, so you can agree to it."

Zhao Yun also persuaded: "Duke Xuande, Cao Jun besieged Xiapi on all sides, and it will be there every day. Now we must not delay the time, let's go out of the city first.

"Well, I will wait until I get out of the city to make any calculations. As for the seal, I will discuss it later."

That night, Liu Bei led the Xuzhou Army and Pingyuan Army to **** Tao Qian's body. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other fierce generals cleared the way, forced a way out of Xia Pi and rushed out.

Liu Bei fled to the territory of Taishan County, knowing that the plain would definitely not go back, and Cao Cao would definitely send troops to besiege the plain.

After everyone buried Tao Qian, Mi Zhu suggested that Liu Bei go to Luoyang.

"Liu Cheqi is a majestic hero in the world, leveling northwest, in Dingguan, fighting the Central Plains, and supporting the court. Xuan Degong and Liu Cheqi put down the Yellow Turban thieves together back then, and both were court clan families. Why not seek justice for Liu Cheqi?"

Mi Zhu went to Puyang and his entourage had a good impression of Liu Ye, so he recommended Liu Bei to Puyang.

Liu Guanzhang and others fought together with Liu Ye back then, and the friendship was very deep, so they readily agreed to go to Yanzhou and his party. Cao Bao’s family’s business was originally underway, but now there is nothing left to be attacked by Cao Cao’s waters. In a rage, he took more than 3,000 Danyang soldiers to Liu Bei. Suddenly, Liu Beijun rescued Xuzhou without loss, but his strength increased.

After Cao Cao calmed down, he immediately ordered Qingqi to take the letter to Donghai County.

Zhao Yu is not a fierce general, but he is not a wall of grass. Therefore, he has always led his troops to defend against Shi Huan's offensive. However, after knowing the news of the death of Tao Qian in Xiapi City, he had no choice but to leave the city and surrender.

After Donghai County was sacked, there were still two places in Xuzhou that had not been settled. One was Zang Ba and other Taishan thief, and the other was Chen Gui and Chen Deng, who led troops to guard Guangling County.

"Zicai, Zhong De, tell me, do you want to continue to attack Taishan County and Guangling County?" Cao Cao smiled.

Originally, Xun Yu’s emergency documents had already been sent, but after the Xiapi, Donghai and other counties were breached, Cao Junping received more than 100,000 stones, which was able to support the army for another two to three months.

Xizhi shook his head: "Lord, although our army attacked Xuzhou because of the old man, but more importantly, it is fighting for hegemony in the world. Now that Xiapi City has been defeated by water in Xuzhou, the most important thing is If the people of Anxing Xuzhou continue to rejuvenate their troops, there will be turmoil."

Although Xi Zhicai provided Cao Cao with a plan to flood the city under the water, he broke the unbreakable city of Xiapi overnight, but drowned tens of thousands of people. In addition to the previous Cao army massacre, the people of Xuzhou rarely said Also nearly 50,000 casualties.

Therefore, Xi Zhicai naturally does not recommend continuing to move troops.

Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu also nodded, and said, "It is true. Moreover, Zang Ba and Chen's father and son have always been ground snakes on the boundary of Xuzhou. Normally, even Tao Qian himself cannot give orders. It’s better to say that if you send troops to attack, you will fight hard, I'm afraid that the fierce fighting for years will be even more disadvantageous."

"Although our army won the siege of Xia Pi, its energy has been exhausted. Whether it is Zang Ba or Chen's father and son, they have been operating locally for many years. If our army divides its forces, it will be difficult to resolve the war between two or three months. I am afraid that Mr. Wen Ruo will have to An urgent document has been sent."

Cao Cao nodded and stroked his beard: "Well, what do you mean is the strategy of gentleness?"

Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "Yes, that's the case. Zang Ba is a lonely person and has always been unsatisfied. However, this time the lord has moved the teacher and moved several counties in a few months, and it will become a powerful Xuzhou! Presumably Zang Ba is unwilling. Fighting with the lord's swordsman, the lord can imitate Tao Qian, make Zangba the guard of Taishan County, ride the captain, and appease Zangba."

"Well, Zhicai, you write it yourself, but Duwei Qi is too young. If you want to become a general, you can make Zangba a general." Cao Cao laughed and said, "Just make him a general."

Xi Zhicai was taken aback: "General? The official position of the lord is just General Fenwei, even Yuanrang and Miaocai are just school lieutenants."

Cao Cao laughed: "Because of this, Zang Ba feels that someone values ​​him."

Cheng Yu smiled and added: "As for the father and son of the Chen family in Guangling, the same can be done. Chen Deng was appointed prefect of Guangling and allowed them to continue to control Guangling. When our army has a firm foothold in Xuzhou in the future, we will slowly bring Zang domineering together. It's not too late to get rid of the Chen family."

"Okay!" Cao Cao said vigorously: "Then appoint Chen Gui as the prefect of Guangling, order Chen Deng to stop driving in Xuzhou, and come to Xia Pi to make suggestions."

Biejia is the highest official position in a prefecture, except for the state shepherd and the governor. It was unexpected that Cao Cao would even ban Chen Deng.

Xi Zhicai stroked his palm and laughed: "With a clever plan, Chen Gui will be appointed prefect of Guangling, then the Chen family must obey our army, and Chen Deng must be willing to accept the position of not driving for the benefit of the family. At that time, Chen Deng's entry into the court is the quality. Xuzhou can be peaceful at night."

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Well, in that case, Zhicai is in charge of Zangba, and Zhongde is in charge of Guangling, and separate operations."

Both Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu accepted the task of Cao Cao and followed up the matter throughout the whole process. They wrote a letter to Chen's father and son and Zang Ba respectively. According to Cao Cao's words, Zang Ba was a high-ranking official. Lu.

Zang Ba immediately replied, stating that he firmly supported Cao Jun's rule and accepted Cao Cao's official position. Chen Gui also readily agreed and sent his son Chen Deng to Xiapi. All of Xuzhou changed its color for a while, and the Cao character was planted everywhere.

After Cao Cao acquired Xuzhou, he immediately introduced the Anmin Policy, and many of Xuzhou's citizens left one after another. With the gradual implementation of the Anmin Policy, the exodus population slowly decreased.

With the suppression of Xuzhou, Cao Cao’s power expanded rapidly, possessing Qingzhou and Xuzhou, with a population of several million. He became the third-largest prince in the world after Liu Ye and Yuan Shu, and an alliance with Yuan Shao took place. Subtle changes.

Yuan Shao is committed to a decisive battle with Gongsun Zan, but still secretly mobilizes the general Gao Lan to lead five thousand troops to Nanpi City.
