After hearing this, Cao Cao roared: "Old man Tao Qian, it has become a fact that you killed my father's family. You dare to talk nonsense here. I will not stop until I peel your skin. You should stop talking too much. Who can capture the old thief Tao Qian for me?"

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Xiahou Yuan immediately responded and rushed towards Tao Qian to kill the general. When Tao Qian saw it, he was very panicked and had to return to his own army. Xiahou Yuan came after him, and Cao Bao jumped into the horse with his spear and came to meet the enemy. The two horses intersected, and suddenly the wind blew, and sand and stones flew. The armies on both sides were in chaos. There was no way, so they had to withdraw their troops.

Cao Cao's army burned, killed, plundered and looted Xuzhou all the way, and was extremely shocked by the wealthy families in Xuzhou. Many wealthy families in Xuzhou all fled Xuzhou, and their real estate in Xuzhou wanted to get rid of their real estate as soon as possible. Real estate that was originally worth 200,000 taels of silver can now be purchased with just over 10,000 taels of silver. The entire property and real estate have been reduced to more than half a century, and many products that cannot be brought by them are equivalent to free gifts.

Mr. Zhen and I were sent to Xuzhou to buy real estate, and the real estate personnel were smiling. We bought a large number of real estate, real estate, and shops in Xuzhou. Many people also joked that we were fools. Cao Cao's army was outside the city. It was only a matter of time before the city was broken. Once Cao Cao's army captured the city, wouldn't everything in the city belong to Cao Cao's army? We don't care and continue to buy in large quantities.

After Tao Qian led the army into the city, he immediately summoned civil and military officials to discuss. Tao Qian said to everyone: "There are more than 200,000 Cao Cao's army, and there are only 80,000 soldiers guarding the city. There can resist the attack of Cao Cao's army. For the safety of the people of Xuzhou, I can only tie myself up and go to Cao Cao's camp and let it slaughter. In this way, I may also save the lives of the people of Xuzhou county. Otherwise, when my Xuzhou city is broken, the people in the whole city will be in trouble and will be affected by me."

After hearing this, Zhao Yu said, "Ming Gong, after our mobilization, the people in the city are now in a high morale and united and moral manner. They will all be killed and defend the city of Xuzhou. They will also survive and die with Xuzhou. The lord doesn't have to worry. Although Cao Cao's army is numerous, as long as the people of Xuzhou and the soldiers are united, they have the ability to defeat Cao Cao's army."

Chen Gui also said: "Ming Gong, although Cao Cao's army is strong, our Xuzhou city is strong. It cannot be easily attacked if we want to attack. As long as we stick to the city, Cao Cao's army will lose troops and lose generals when attacking the city wall. Even if he attacks the city, as long as the people in the city resist resolutely, Cao Cao's army has no choice, and he has not yet been able to capture the city."

Chen Deng thought for a while and said, "Ming Gong, don't worry. You have been governing Xuzhou for many years and have done a lot of good things to the people of Xuzhou. You can make Xuzhou rich and well-dressed, live and work in peace, and live and live better than other counties and states. This is all your credit. The people of Xuzhou will thank you for your great kindness. Cao Cao's massacre of the people of Xuzhou all the way has caused public outrage in the world. Now the people in the city are all waiting to die and die with you. Although Cao Cao's army is stronger than our army, it cannot be able to capture the city in a short time. Ming Gong will not go out of the city to fight again from today, as long as I stick to the city and not come out. Although I don't have any talent, I have a plan to make Cao Cao's army die without a place to die."

When Tao Qian heard this, he immediately asked, "Yunlong, what are your tricks? Tell me out quickly."

Chen Deng said: "Ming Gong, I heard that you have a good relationship with Kong Rong from Beihai and Tian Kai from Qingzhou. Xuzhou and Qingzhou are dependent on each other. As long as Xuzhou is seized by Cao Cao, Qingzhou will definitely be attacked by Cao Cao's army next step. Now Cao Cao has planned to seize Xuzhou by his father. Since that's the case, Cao Cao in Qingzhou will definitely not let it go. So as long as Ming Gong wrote letters of help to Kong Rong from Beihai and Tian Kai from Qingzhou, asking them to send troops to support me in Xuzhou, they should also send troops. As long as Beihai and Qingzhou send troops, Cao Cao's army will definitely retreat without fighting."

After hearing this, Tao Qian immediately wrote two letters and wrote: "Who is willing to invite reinforcements?"

Chen Deng said: "Sir, I can go there with Lord Tian Kai from Qingzhou, but if I want to go to Beihai again, I am afraid that there will be too late, so please re-arrange others to go to Beihai."

After hearing this, Zhao Yu said, "Don't worry, I'll go to Beihai. I will definitely invite Lord Kong Rong's reinforcements."

Tao Qian said very movedly: "Then I'll be there for you. I will stick to you in Xuzhou until you bring in rescue soldiers. I will personally mobilize the people in the city and let them all guard the city together."

Although Cao Cao had many army, Cao Cao's army burned, killed, plundered and ruthlessly killed innocent people, which made the people in Xuzhou city determined to resolutely resist Cao Cao's attack. The people voluntarily took the initiative to go up the city wall to fight with Cao's army, and voluntarily sent food to the guardians and soldiers. The powerful young and middle-aged people all joined the battle against Cao Cao's army. Women and elderly people transported a large amount of guardians to the guardians and soldiers, which made Cao Cao's army want to attack the city as soon as possible and turned into a bubble. They could only launch an attack continuously, but there was still no effect.

Cao Cao attacked for more than ten days, and many soldiers also killed the city walls, but Xuzhou soldiers and the people in the city shared the same hatred for the enemy and guarded the city to death. Every time they were beaten by the soldiers and civilians of Xuzhou, which made Cao Cao very angry. Cao Cao said to his superiors: "The resistance of the soldiers in Xuzhou City will be so tenacious, which is in sharp contrast to the invincibility of our army along the way. What is the reason?"

After hearing this, Xiahou Dun said helplessly: "The people in the lord Xuzhou city all joined the battle to guard the city. They were mobilized by the whole city. Our army would be subject to huge counterattacks when they went up. With such a hard attack, our army's casualties would increase day by day, and the losses would be getting bigger and bigger."

Xi Zhicai said: "Lord, our army cannot attack like this. Even if we capture the city, our army will suffer huge casualties. As the saying goes, killing one thousand will cause 800 damage to oneself. Moreover, our army is the siege, and the losses are greater than that of the defending city."

However, Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai, was from Qufu, Lu. He was a 20th generation grandson of Confucius and the son of the commander of Taishan. Kong Rong was smart and clever since childhood. Influenced by his family, he was also a great scholar with great knowledge, knowledgeable knowledge and talent. Kong Rong himself loved literature and liked to talk about poetry and lyrics with friends. He was also extremely hospitable, so he often had friends and scholars gathered in his family. One of the words Kong Rong often said was: The guests on the seat are always full, and the wine in the bottle is not empty. This is my wish. Kong Rong was in Beihai for six years and won the hearts of the people. He managed the Beihai area in an orderly manner, and the people in the Beihai lived and worked in peace and contentment.
