Ma Ling couldn't defeat the five generals to join forces, looked at the gap and fled, Zang Ba and others led the army to command the army to fight with the Northern Navy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a battle, the Taishan army led by Zang Ba defeated the Northern Navy commanded by Ma Ling, and Ma Ling had to temporarily retreat to the north, gathering troops with the intention of fighting Zang Ba again.

The Qingzhou East Route Army was temporarily blocked, but Shi Bao of the West Route Army was very smooth and marched all the way. From Laiwu County to Ying County, it is Fenggao County, the county that goes straight to Taishan County. At the beginning, Luo Gan occupied the four counties of Laiwu, Yingxian, Mu and Gaixian, which not only provided in-depth protection for his Qi County, but also facilitated the Qingzhou soldiers to send troops to Taishan County.

Fenggao City was broken, and Shi Bao continued to lead the army to capture the county towns of Taishan County. Soon, eight of the twelve counties in Taishan County fell into the hands of Luo Gan, and only Chixian in the northwest and Nanwuyang, Feiguo, and Nanwu in the south were still in Cao Cao's hands. As for the Xuzhou soldiers who had previously invaded Renchengguo, they had already been defeated by Cao's army and had already retreated to Xuzhou.

Shi Bao originally wanted to continue south, but he was blocked by Cao Cao's general Le Jin and his army in the north of Zhushui. This Lejin was also very brave when he followed Cao Cao to fight, and he often took the lead and charged ahead. But before Lejin lost when he fought Luo Kun. Therefore, Lejin also learned a lesson, and he didn't fight with Shi Bao or fight at all, and fought directly.

Shi Bao was brave, Le Jin commanded calmly, and the Qingzhou soldiers and Yanzhou soldiers were stuck in the Zhushui area.

Xuzhou has two counties and three kingdoms, a total of 62 counties. It is mainly Langxie County, Donghai County, Pengcheng County, Xiapi Kingdom, and Guangling County.

Cao Cao first invaded Pengcheng and defeated Tao Qian under Pengcheng. Tao Qian defended Wuyuan County, Cao Cao could not attack, that is, he went north to attack Yanzhou Taishan County to defeat the Xuzhou soldiers, and then attacked the Lang Evil Kingdom to the east to defeat Zang Ba, and finally went south to attack Donghai County in the hinterland of Xuzhou.

This is Tao Qian's old life, the county governance of Donghai County is Tan County, this city is not an ordinary county seat, but a strong city, a big city, and Tao Qian's base camp. The current Xuzhou Mu is Tao Qian, and this Tan County is now Xuzhou Prefecture.

Tao Qian immediately led the army back to defend Tancheng, so Cao Cao led the army to besiege Tancheng, at this time Luo Gan and his army were still in the Langxi country, in other words, Luo Gan was still on the way to come on horseback.

Before in Pengcheng, Tao Qian had not yet shown defeat, so he didn't talk nonsense with Cao Cao. But first Pengcheng fought a battle, losing tens of thousands of horses, and now Cao Cao has already hit the lair. The form changed, from Tao Qian's tough attack on Yanzhou to Cao Cao's galloping in Xuzhou.

Tao Qian had to give in and confront Cao Cao outside the city with some soldiers and horses, and the city was prepared with a strong crossbow to prevent Cao Cao's sudden attack.

"Cao Gong, I didn't want to be your enemy, the previous sword soldiers were all caused by Yuan Shu. It was Yuan Shu who coerced me and forced me to enter Yanzhou, which was actually Yuan Shu's fault. As for your father, I am deeply grieved, and it is not my intention. There are many bandits in Taishan County, and it is not safe along the way, so I sent troops to send them off. It was a good intention, but I never thought that the thief Zhang Min was a thief and killed Mrs. Cao. I am willing to make peace with Cao Gong and protect the Han Dynasty. Tao Qian's tone was sad, and he blamed Yuan Shu for taking the initiative to attack Yanzhou.

He also said that he originally planned to arrest Cao Song back, saying that he was sending troops to escort him. Of course, he didn't want to kill Cao Song before, he just wanted to arrest Cao Song back and threaten Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was very proud at this time, he was a little desperate, and let go of the Xuzhou soldiers who attacked Taishan County and Ren Chengguo in Yanzhou, and took the siege of Wei to save Zhao and counterattack Xuzhou. This is actually a big risk, in case the Xuzhou soldiers in Taishan County and Ren Chengguo continue to march, they may attack Cao Cao's lair in Yanzhou.

It's just that when Cao Cao attacked Pengcheng, an important town in Xuzhou, Tao Qian panicked and called the army back. After that, he was completely led by Cao Cao's nose, and he always suffered defeat.

Cao Cao's horsewhip pointed at Tao Qian and said angrily: "Tao Qian, old thief, my father, an old man, you dare to poison him, my father is a former captain of the Han Dynasty." You dare to send troops to attack and kill, I, Cao Cao, will not take revenge and will not be a son of man. Swiftly tie your hands and take them, and I will save the people of this city from death. ”

Before Cao Cao crisscrossed the territory of Xuzhou, there were those who dared to resist, but it was also very cruel to slaughter many people in Xuzhou.

Tao Qian still wanted to make the last struggle, and said sadly: "Meng De, if you are willing to withdraw from the army, I promise that from now on, my Xuzhou soldiers will not step into Yanzhou." I also offer you 200,000 stone grain and grass every year, do you think it is feasible? ”

Tao Qian plans to serve Cao Cao as the boss.

Cao Cao was a little disdainful, and thought to himself: Now that I have the upper hand, why not take the opportunity to take Tao Qian and seize Xuzhou. With Xuzhou, Tao Qian's grain and grass are not all his own.

What's more, Cao Cao raised troops in the name of avenging his father, and if he agreed to Tao Qian's suggestion, he would withdraw his troops after taking grain and grass. People in the world don't think that he, Cao Cao, came to seize Xuzhou. Although everyone knows Cao Cao's intentions, there are some things that everyone knows, but they can't be too obvious, or they can't say what they can do.

"Tao Qian, you and I have a grudge against killing our father, and this enmity is not shared. Either you will fight with me as a whole army and see how powerful your Xuzhou army is, or you will kill yourself. Cao Cao shouted angrily.

Tao Qian is not a righteous and awe-inspiring person, and he will not kill himself, since he can't make peace with Cao Cao, then fight. Cao Cao was not able to break through Wuyuan City before, but now this Tancheng is taller and stronger than Wuyuan City.

"Cao Mengde, don't deceive people too much, it's a big deal that I will die with you." Tao Qian changed the humility and pity on his face, and yelled at Cao Cao angrily.

"Left and right, who will take down Tao Qian's old thief for me?" Cao Cao said impatiently to the generals around him.

"Xiahou Yuan is here, Tao Qian's old man will die!" As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Xiahoudun rushed out with a horse and killed Tao Qian.

"Well, bold fanatics, do you know my Xuzhou general Cao Baohu?" A general in the Xuzhou army twisted his spear and jumped on a horse to rush out and kill.

This person is Cao Bao, who was originally from a family and supported Tao Qian as the pastor of Xuzhou, so he was able to command the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou.

"I don't care if you're a Cao Bao or a straw bale, let's die." Xiahou Dun's spear quickly attacked, and with lightning speed, he stabbed towards Cao Leopard.

This Cao Bao didn't expect Xiahoudun to shoot so fast, and he was so frightened that he didn't even bother to wave the gun, so he could only instinctively lean down and hug the horse's head.

Sometimes this person can always react quickly in the face of danger, although this Xiahoudun's marksmanship is fast, but Cao Bao also dodged it.

But Cao Bao is still Cao Bao after all, Xiahou Dun didn't take Cao Bao in his first move, and immediately swept away thousands of troops with one move. As soon as Cao Bao straightened up, he was directly swept off his horse by Xiahoudun.

However, because Cao Bao blocked it with the spear in his hand, although he was knocked off the horse, he was not hung up.

Xiahoudun immediately rushed forward to capture Cao Bao back, and a big man in the Xuzhou army shouted: "Hugh my Xuzhou general, let the poor monk come to meet you." ”

This person's voice was like thunder, full of energy, and the important thing was that this person turned out to be a bald monk.
