Chapter 11 The Great Army Arrives in the City

The walls of Xuzhou City are quite thick, and the garrison is very large - although it is much inferior to Cao Cao's army of 350,000, but at least there are 50,000 or 60,000.

In the ancient battlefield, it was not easy to break through a heavy city with 50,000 or 60,000 defenders - in the battle mode of siege warfare, the advantage of troops would be compressed. But on the other hand, the individual force of the generals can be regarded as having a place to use.

On the whole, there should be no suspense for Cao Cao to break this city, the difference is how much time he needs to spend.

The army lay in front of Xuzhou City, Cao Cao took Wang Wei and Dian Wei two generals to ride out of the ranks, all the way to a stone's throw outside Xuzhou City, just stood still, Cao Cao immediately shouted.

"Tao Qian, get out of here and see me!"

"Tao Qian! Get out of here and see me! ”

"Get out of here and see me!"

"See me!"

Lao Cao obviously also has internal strength to cultivate, as soon as he opened his mouth at this moment, the thick sound wave spread far away, Wang Wei's eyes were sharp, and he could even see a commotion on the ground above the city.

They were scared......

Nor are they not afraid......

Until the gate of the city suddenly opened, an old man about 60 years old walked out of the city tremblingly.

The old man's mental outlook was slightly tired, his body was slumped, and he didn't seem to be very energetic, but during the Three Kingdoms period, there were very few old people who could live to 60, and just by his age, everyone present could conclude that this person was by no means an ordinary person.

Or in other words, this person is Xuzhou Taishou, Tao Qian Tao Gongzu......

This Tao Qian didn't stop until he walked about 50 meters in front of Cao Cao, only to see him slowly bend down and kneel down in front of Cao Cao on both knees, and then, the sound of the listener's palpitation and the listener's sad choking voice came out of Tao Qian's mouth.

"Cao Mengde personally led the army to fight, Tao Qian knew that he was invincible, so he had to go to the city to pray for his crimes, I hope that Lord Cao Mengde has a large number of them, and let me go of the people of Xuzhou!"

Tao Qian's words are sincere, and his attitude is also good...... However, everyone present was clear that this battle was no longer to avenge their father!

Revenge for one's father or something, it's just a name......

Facing Tao Qian, Cao Cao just slowly narrowed his eyes, he pondered for a moment, and said softly.

"What is your sin?"

"When Mrs. Cao passed by Xuzhou, in order to make friends with you, so my whole family served Mrs. Cao like serving my own father, before leaving, I also gave a gift worth 100,000 yuan, and sent his subordinate Zhang Min to escort, unexpectedly, this Zhang Min malignant did not change, killed Mrs. Cao, so that I made a big mistake, fell into a desperate situation of unrighteousness! Therefore, our whole family, young and old, and the young and old of Xuzhou City, are all serving filial piety to Mrs. Cao! ”

Hearing this, Wang Wei and Cao Cao both looked up.

But I saw that the whole city was indeed dressed in linen and filial piety, hanging with white cloth, and Tao Qian was also dressed in white.

Correct......

On the top of the city, there are many armor soldiers, bows and crossbows are ready, and the swords and guns reflect the sunlight brightly, almost dazzling the eyes of Wang Wei and Cao Cao!

The two glanced at each other, and then heard Tao Qian say again.

"Although I, Tao Qian, am infected with a vicious disease, I still want to personally go to Wufeng Mountain to arrest the thief Zhang Min to avenge you and my father!"

Well, look at Tao Qian's words and say that Duolisuo - you and my father are enemies...... It's slippery to recognize my father......

In other words, it seems that it is still unknown who is older and who is small, Mrs. Cao and Tao Qian.

Cao Cao chuckled, and he shook his head.

"Wufeng Mountain Tao Gongzu doesn't have to go, I have already sent someone to go and take down the head of Zhang Hong, but the so-called revenge of killing my father is not shared, just one Zhang Min, can I resurrect my father?"

"I can't, but although I am guilty, I am deliberately pleasing and unintentionally guilty. Please Cao Gong for the sake of this, around my life, and from today on, Xuzhou City is willing to send 200,000 grain to Cao Gong every year, until death! ”

After saying that, Tao Qian bowed his head deeply......

And Cao Cao, his eyes narrowed tighter and tighter, he looked at Tao Qian, for a moment, and smiled suddenly.

"200,000 yuan is not necessary, what do you think? You will give Xuzhou to me, and then you will apologize for your sins, and I will protect your whole family! ”

Money and food, I don't want it, I want the city plus your Tao Qian's life! Give me the city, you committed suicide, the revenge of killing your father or something, we will also get over, your whole family is still delicious and delicious, this is what Cao Cao meant!

However, how could Tao Qian agree to this condition?

This Xuzhou assassin history is the first emperor's own order, Tao Qian is also a Xuzhou celebrity, although he has no great ambitions, but he is also a prince, there are also heavy soldiers under his hands, and there is a strong city, you Cao Cao let me sacrifice the city to commit suicide with a word, it is simply too deceitful!

Sure enough, as soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Tao Qian had already trembled up from the ground, his waist was straight to look at Cao Cao, and his eyebrows were full of anger.

"Cao Cao'er! I, Tao Qian, am also a thorn in history, and I am one year older than your father! Now I grovel and beg for mercy from you, but you insult me so much, do you really want to force me to fight hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou to the death? ”

Seeing that Tao Qian's voice was getting louder and louder, and the defenders at the head of the city were also holding bows and arrows, Cao Cao sighed and shook his head when he saw this.

"That's Tao Qian, for the sake of you wearing linen and filial piety for my father in Xuzhou, I won't kill you today! Two days later, I will capture Xuzhou, you honestly hide in Xuzhou City, wash your neck and wait! ”

"By the way, go back and tell the people of Xuzhou City that after the city is broken, I will not slaughter the city, and anyone who mourns for my father can be spared death!"

After that, Cao Cao didn't look at Tao Qian again, he took Wang Wei and Dian Wei and turned to leave, leaving only Tao Qian standing at the gate of the city, his eyes gradually gloomy.

……

Cao Cao's camp was set up more than 30 miles outside Xuzhou...... This distance is really not far from the story world of this soldier's universal transcendence.

After returning to the pre-set camp location, his subordinates commanded the soldiers to set up camp, and Cao Cao entered the Chinese army's tent with a vote of civil and military personnel, put wine and meat, and prepared to talk about the plan to break the city while eating.

During the banquet, Dian Wei couldn't help but ask.

"Lord, why do we have to wait for two days, if you want me to say that you let me pounce just now, you must have taken Tao Qian's head!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao suddenly laughed, and Wang Wei also swallowed a chicken leg and explained to Dian Wei inarticulately.

"General Dian is reckless, in my opinion, that Tao Qian is also very human."

"It's extreme, it's extreme......"

Cao Cao sighed.

"How can you be an ordinary person who can be the Taishou of Xuzhou?"

"Just now I looked at the city with General Wang, but I saw that although his city was full of white flags, but under each white flag, there were strong bows and crossbows, Tao Qian bowed to me on the surface, but in fact he was ready to defend the city, I waited for the labor division to go on an expedition, the siege equipment has not yet arrived, and I am afraid that the casualties will increase in casualties if we start a war immediately, it is better to wait for him for two days, and then attack the city after our army is ready."

"These two days are not for him, but for our own!"

"That's right!"

Wang Wei and Guo Jia responded at the same time.
