Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 283

Cao Cao nodded.

"That's what I'm worried about!"

Guo Jia shook his head slightly, flicked his folding fan, imitating Xia Houzhe.

"My lord, don't worry too much! I think this letter is very authentic!"

"Besides, we don't need to use leopard riders to go to the east gate! We can let Zhang Kai go!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes lit up!

yes!How did you forget this!

Even if there is an ambush at that time, it will not be my soldiers and horses who will die!

If there is no ambush, these 1 people can almost win the East Gate!

At most... Give Zhang Kai some credit, and reward him with thirty or twenty gold, wouldn't it be good?

After the matter was finalized, Cao Cao launched another attack the next day!

It is already his daily routine to blast the city gates and walls with catapults every day.

If he didn't know that Yuan Shu would come, he might have launched a general attack.

But after knowing this, he was waiting.

Waiting for Yuan Shu to send money, food, and heads!

It's a pity... After waiting for three days, Yuan Shu didn't respond at all!

This not only worried Cao Cao, but also Tao Qian!

"Gongyou! What did Yuan Shu say?"

"My lord! Yuan Shu... He heard that he was going to rob and kill Cao Cao, but he refused to send troops and drove me out!"

Tao Qian: ...

"How about? Leave five thousand soldiers here, and we retreat towards Tancheng? With the bombardment of the catapults, not many soldiers dare to go up to the tower to defend the city!"

"And our army was repelled by his leopard cavalry before we even left the city! There is no way to get close!"

"Why are the people in Cao Ying so good at shooting?"

Tao Qian looked melancholy!

He has learned from Cao Cao and sent shield soldiers and archers to stop the leopard cavalry!

But the harvest is not big, the leopard rides under the leadership of the young general, it is very cunning!

As soon as they see the shield, they swim around!

And those catapults were also very ruthless. When they turned around, they stopped hitting people instead of walls!

Where can the shield withstand the bombardment of stones?

As for the catapult... There are nearly 2 people guarding it, so it can't get close at all!

And that's trapped in the camp, specifically picking his shield soldiers to chop!He is also very helpless!

People are invulnerable, defense is full, what do you use to fight?

I can't get in and I can't get in, I can't win by poking and poking, even if I shoot them in the face, I have no expression on my face!

Although after several battles, under the leadership of Liu Bei and his brothers, two or three thousand soldiers of Cao Cao were killed.

But Tao Qian also suffered heavy losses.

As soon as Tao Qian finished speaking, Sun Qian ran in in shock!

"My lord! Run! The east gate is lost! Cao Cao's army has entered the city!"

"What? Where's Liu Bei? Isn't he fighting Cao Cao?"

Tao Qian turned pale with shock!

"Liu Bei is fighting against Cao Cao! But the one who attacked the city was Zhang Kai! After surrendering to the enemy, this kid was extraordinarily brave! Even Yuanlong didn't defend him!"

"I want to report! I suspect Chen Yuanlong is paddling!"

Tao Qian didn't have time to worry about whether Chen Deng was paddling, escape for his life was the most important thing at this time!

With a wave of his hand, he immediately ordered: "Retreat! Everyone retreat to Tancheng!"

Without the barrier of the city wall, Tao Qian has no confidence at all, and he dare not fight Cao Cao's elite at all!

His Danyang soldiers are very powerful, but he has no suitable generals!

When he was young, he was still able to lead the fight against the Yellow Turban Bandit himself, but now that he is old, he will not be able to go to the battlefield for a long time.

Originally there was Cao Bao who was barely able to lead troops, but his situation...

Apart from being ababa, I can't do anything!

On the way, Tao Qian was sniped by leopard cavalry again with thousands of soldiers and horses!

Thanks to the help of Liu Bei and his brothers, they were able to lead more than [-] people and retreat to Tancheng!

Tancheng at this moment is the seat of Xuzhou, guarded by Wang Lang!

After returning to Tancheng, Tao Qian handed over the [-] Danyang soldiers in his hands to Wang Lang to lead them!

After fleeing for a while, the already elderly Tao Qian was frightened several times by Cao Cao, and unfortunately fell ill!

When Liu Bei and Chen Gong saw Tao Qian lying on the bed, they felt instantly happy!

We've worked so many days for nothing for you... It's finally going to pay off!

Xuzhou... I'm Liu Bei's!

When I take Xuzhou in good faith, I will transfer the [-] to [-] troops from Pingyuan!

In addition, with the help of Tian Yu, I don't believe that I can't beat you Cao Cao!

After Liu Bei went to Tancheng, he stayed by Tao Qian's side almost every day, took care of his food and daily life, and chatted with him to relieve boredom.

He is more sensible than Tao Qian's son!

Tao Qian is also very grateful to Liu Bei, and his favorability is overwhelming!

……

On the other hand, after Cao Cao entered the city, it took a few days to appease the people.

Pengcheng has been run by Tao Qian for many years, and people's hearts are still very much towards him.

So not so easy to settle in!

According to Cao Cao's thinking, he planned to use the method of massacring the city to calm down the rear. After looting supplies, he immediately attacked Tancheng while morale was high.

But Xia Houzhe tried his best to stop it!

"My dear brother! Why can't we massacre the city? He Tao Qian is my enemy, and now the people of Pengcheng are not stable, I'm afraid there will be changes in the rear!"

Throughout the ages, there have been countless acts of massacring the city and setting the rear!

In Cao Cao's eyes, that's all there is to it!

If you are obedient, the people in your city will live.

If you are disobedient, I will kill them all!Everyone is very busy, who has time to appease you, what if you rebel when I fight?It is most appropriate to kill to avoid future troubles!

"Massacre the city? As long as you slaughter it, it will be difficult for you to control the hearts of the people in Xuzhou in the future! Focus on appeasement!"

"Besides, the people in Yanzhou are saying that you are kind and love the people. If you want to massacre the city, isn't it self-defeating?"

"Remember what I told you? Xuzhou people control Xuzhou people! I think... then Chen Deng is good!"

"The paddling was pretty good a few days ago, and with the addition of Mi Zhu to check and balance him, I don't think there is a big problem in Xuzhou!"

"Anyway, Tao Qian is in the bag now, and Yuan Shu was scared by the previous battle of Kuangting. No one will take Xuzhou with you for the time being!"

Xia Houzhe explained it lightly.

Cao Cao nodded. He also understood the truth, but he just found it troublesome.

"Brother, do you think there is a chariot like a charging chariot that can break through the enemy's large shield formation? I think the shield soldiers are still very restrained by the leopard cavalry!"

"I'm afraid that in the future on the battlefield, there will be an elite army against leopard cavalry! Without leopard cavalry, our strength will be greatly reduced!"

Cao Cao was a little worried. After fighting Tao Qian for the past few days, he found out.

Leopard Cavalry still has a lot of shortcomings, Tao Qian's military ability is not good, so he discovered it late.

But there is no guarantee that Liu Bei and Yuan Shao will not find out!

He dare not underestimate Liu Bei and his group!Just like Undead Xiaoqiang, no matter how you suppress him, you can't destroy him.

Xia Houzhe frowned and thought for a while, then nodded.

"This time... how much do you plan to spend?"

puff...

Cao Cao's heart was sweetened, and he almost spurted blood.

"Fuck! Brothers, can you stop mentioning money? It hurts feelings!"

Xia Houzhe sneered for a while: "Aren't you talking about money? Then you're thinking about farts! My technology guarantees that you will crush the battlefield, no matter what kind of shield soldiers you have, you will hit them all the way!"

【Made!I will go back and make a steam engine, and build a super-sized, high-horsepower tractor! 】

[Then install steel plates around the tractor!Kick the gas pedal down, let me see who of you can stop me!I want to be the most beautiful boy on the battlefield! 】

Although the idea is good, Xia Houzhe understands that this project cannot be completed in a short period of time.

He was just a tactic to delay the attack, to make a cake for Cao Cao, so that the other party would not bother him.

He has been out to fight for a month or two, and he has not been able to lie down properly. After going back, he will not lie down for two years, and he will not be able to recover!

Cao Cao looked sad, this tractor has been mentioned several times by him!

But right now he really has no money!

He will use the tens of thousands of gold to buy food and grass and make armaments!

Cao Cao was thinking hard, thinking of ways to get money!

After a while, his eyes lit up!

"My dear brother, hehe! Why don't I borrow [-] yuan from you first? Pay you back one piece later? Just use the [-] yuan as a technical fee?"

"You look pretty ugly on a horse, and you think so beautifully! Do you think I'm stupid?"

Just as the two were laughing and cursing, Guo Jia walked in.

"My lord! We found two generals, one civil and one military, in the city. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Chapter 331 This is a good official

"One piece of paper and one weapon? Do you think it's awesome?"

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia seriously, Guo Jia's mouth twitched and he nodded slowly.

He felt that his master was a little picky now!

Not awesome, he still doesn't like it!

"Look...uh...it looks like that general is quite awesome!"

"As for the civil servant, he is 35 and six years old! He seems to be doing well! I had a brief chat with him!"

Cao Cao and Xia Houzhe were stunned.

"What does it mean to look awesome? A cow is a cow, and an average is an average! What do you call an answer?"

"Is he as powerful as Zhao Yun and Cao Chun?"

Guo Jia shook his head: "War force is inferior, but willpower is definitely stronger than the two of them!"

Even a peerless adviser like Guo Jia gave that man a thumbs up!

Cao Cao Xia Houzhe became interested instantly!

Could it be that there are hidden generals in Pengcheng that my virtuous brother doesn't even know about?
