Chapter 144: Change of Plans

ps: Now I will serve one more first, and there will be one more in the evening!

"In this way, I have to let Cao Jun enter Xuzhou on this road?"

Looking at Tao Qian, who was dying and struggling with the last glimmer of hope, a trace of helplessness flashed in Chen Qi's eyes, and he said: "Lord, besides that, there is no other way, although General Cao Bao and the others are loyal, but once they attack the Cao army holding the Son of Heaven Jieyue, then the lord, in the eyes and hearts of the people of the world, you will be completely beaten into a rebellious image!" ”

The horror of the party struggle, just look at the Ming Dynasty that was completely defeated, you can see one or two, at this time Tao Qian's subordinate martial arts struggle, although it has not reached the Ming Dynasty in later generations, but just look at Chen Qi, Cao Bao and others, constantly openly and secretly, seize the opportunity, in terms of the attitude of discrediting the other party, in fact, it is almost the same as the party struggle of the Ming Dynasty.

"Alas, since this is the case, then order the soldiers in front to let them go, and welcome Cao's army into Xuzhou, hoping that God can bless me and bless my Xuzhou from falling into the flames of war."

Tao Qian's consent, in the eyes of Chen Qi and others, was undoubtedly a victory for Wenchen, Chen Qi and Mi Zhu of the next head exchanged a happy look with each other, and then bent down to Tao Qian and said: "The lord is wise!" ”

Old horseman, sooner or later, one day, I want you to die a good death!

Feeling the Tao Qian on the top, the somewhat dissatisfied gaze, as well as the triumphant eyes of Mi Zhu, Chen Qi and others on the other side, Cao Bao was furious in his heart, if it weren't for Tao Qian Yu Wei was still there, Cao Bao at this time couldn't wait to lift his sword and step forward and chop Chen Wan to death with a sword.

The open and secret battles in Xuzhou City are far from being known by the guards in other places, what they can know, that is, the Xuzhou side has agreed to welcome Cao's army into Xuzhou, so although some soldiers think that this move is inappropriate, but Zhao Yun and Zhang He's 20,000 vanguard army still entered Xiaopei and went all the way to Xuzhou.

A few days later, Cao Cao's army entered Xuzhou, Tao Qian and his subordinates on the city wall, looking at the black lines that gradually appeared in the distant sky, gradually held their breath, only to see a black-clothed and black-armored Cao sergeant, his expression was silent, there was no slightest emotion in his eyes, cold as a killing machine, and the murderous and evil aura echoed in the sky of Cao Junjun.

How could the Tao soldiers, who had been in peace for a long time, be able to withstand such a sky-high and terrifying murderous aura, and some timid Tao soldiers were even more frightened with trembling legs, and they didn't know if they were scared out of the urine.

But no matter what, there is one point, it is the thoughts of the Tao soldiers, that is, fortunately, it is good that they did not fight with Cao Jun, at this moment, Tao soldiers, for Tao Qian, who ordered Cao Jun to enter Xuzhou, felt a deep sense of gratitude in his heart.

Cao Cao's army came, and Zhao Yun and Zhang He, who were the vanguards, did not appear in the greeting team, because at this time, they had already gone north to meet the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou after resting.

The gate of Xuzhou opened, Tao Qian led his subordinates, and walked downward, at the same time, in the Cao army camp, under the escort of thousands of elite Cao soldiers and Dian Wei and Xu Chu, Cao Cao rode in a chariot and came towards the city gate of Xuzhou.

When Cao Cao came to the city gate, Tao Qian had already commanded the civil and military, and had come here early, Tao Qian, who was the state pastor, bent down and bowed to him when he saw Cao Cao's frame: "Minister, Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian, with his military staff, see the prime minister!" ”

"Ministers, see Prime Minister Cao!"

Cao Cao, who was in the chariot, looked at the upper echelons of Xuzhou who were all bent over, smiled, held the sword of the Son of Heaven, stepped off the chariot, and under the escort of Dian Wei and Xu Chu, he came to Tao Qian, helped him up and said: "Gongzu, after many years, you are still the same as when you were begging Dong, you are old and strong, hahahaha." ”

"The prime minister has an overreputation, and the minister has been decrepit in recent years, and he doesn't have much of a good life."

Looking at Tao Qian, who shook his head and sighed, Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Gongzu, it's funny, it's funny, this Xuzhou, the imperial court still hopes that you can keep it well!" ”

In the civil and military forces behind Tao Qian, Chen Qi and Mi Zhu glanced at each other, both sides saw the doubts and incomprehension in each other's eyes, they didn't believe it, could it be that Cao Cao came this time, did he really not mean to seize Xuzhou?

Chen Qi and Mi Zhu didn't believe it, and Tao Qian didn't believe it either, but compared to the two, the disbelief in Tao Qian's heart contained a trace of hope and belief.

The greetings at the city gate were only a short moment, after Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren and Xiahoudun to lead the army down, choose a place, and set up camp, he led his subordinates to enter the city of Xuzhou with Tao Qian.

Xuzhou is worthy of being a state and county that has been peaceful for a long time, and Xuzhou, as the capital, has hardly been invaded by the war, so the city of Xuzhou, the people in the city, endlessly, the sound of selling and bargaining, is also endless, just look at the words here, in a trance I still think that the Han world at this time is still peaceful.

It's just that such a lively Xuzhou made Cao Cao feel a little depressed when he sighed in his heart, because Xuzhou, which has been peaceful for a long time, then the people in the city, or Xuzhou, must love Tao Qian, and Tao Qian's reputation in the hearts of the people of Xuzhou must be much stronger than that of Cao Cao.

If it is really tough to seize Xuzhou, then unless it is like Cao Cao in history, slaughter the city, and slaughter until the people of Xuzhou no longer dare to resist.

Historically, before Cao Cao's slaughter of Xuzhou, Cao Cao thought that it was because of the lack of food and grass for Cao's army, so he could only rely on the slaughter of the city to collect the grain in the city while not having to bear the rations of the people in the city.

But after crossing over, after seeing the love of the people of Xuzhou for Tao Qian, Cao Cao knew better in his heart that perhaps a large part of Cao Cao's slaughter of the city in history was due to grain and grass, but he did not use this to intimidate the people of Xuzhou and make them dare not resist the rule of Cao Jun.

However, Cao Cao, who is above history, has no way to make this decision, but the current Cao Cao is different, he has enough food and food under his command, and he has the Son of Heaven in his hands, and there are more ways to seize the rule of Xuzhou, and there is no need to slaughter the city, so not only is there almost no doubt, but also the strategy of wasting the vitality of China in vain.

Cao Cao, who had made up his mind in his heart, vaguely glanced at Guo Jia and others in the rear, and Guo Jia and others, who received Cao Cao's eyes, knew in their hearts that the original plan to seize Xuzhou by force was no longer possible, and a different method had to be changed.
