Chapter 67 Regret that I should have had an affair with Cao Mengde!(2/3)
…
While the atmosphere in Tancheng was somewhat helpless, the city of Xuzhou in the hinterland of Xuzhou was even more clouded.
Tao Qian looked at the curtain above his head, but his eyes were a little distracted. He was asking Cao Bao, but he seemed to be asking himself.
Xi Zhicai was lying on his side, and Cao Cao didn't care at all about this posture.
Liu Bei's face turned bitter.
The current methods for treating towns like Xuzhou are being implemented in accordance with the strategies formulated by Xi Yu.
Xi Yu was a little helpless and wanted to say something, but in the end nothing came out.
Cao Bao beside him was speechless.
Cao Cao suddenly had something to do with food and fodder, and Tao Qian couldn't figure it out even if he thought about it.
I thought I had solved the problem of a good harvest in Yanzhou, but who knew something like this could happen again.
"If you don't believe me, ask my lord, I used to practice Wuqinxi every day in the camp!"
Xi Zhicai looked at his younger brother calmly. He was filled with pride to have such an outstanding brother.
At this moment, I wonder how the people in Xuzhou view their brothers?
In his opinion, what if Cao Jun had food and grass?
Nowadays, when food and grass are cut off, such things can be solved in a short period of time.
After waving to Xi Yu, Cao Cao took two steps up to meet him. When he realized that he had not yet put on his boots, he stopped.
"Brother!"
I only know that the spies said that Xiyu came with his men, and Cao Jun had food and fodder. This is really difficult for people to understand.
"Ah Bao, do you think there is still room for peace between me and Cao Cao now?"
Now, all I can do is wait for the war to go smoothly, and when I am no longer needed at all, no one else will say anything before I leave.
Unable to help himself, he also thought of his younger brother.
What Liu Bei knew in his heart, Guan Yu also knew more or less.
After Xi Zhicai spoke, Cao Cao beside him also nodded.
Xi Zhicai put his hand on the fire and turned it over, and took a long breath. When he looked at Xi Yu again, he couldn't help but turn the corner of his mouth.
Is it possible that Xi Yu was sent from heaven to help Cao Cao?
However, he then thought that Xi Yu was married now, and the situation now was different from before.
Thinking of Cao De, Cao Cao couldn't help but look at Xi Yu again.
"Fengyi, thanks to your timely arrival in this battle, otherwise, I'm afraid..."
However, the two armies had not yet fought, which made Guan Yu feel a little unhappy.
Seeing the cross-faced expressions of the three Liu Bei brothers, Zhao Yun, who was among them, couldn't help but say something.
Xiyu smiled, not denying it.
What's more, news of this war spread back to Xuzhou.
He even bluntly said that Liu Bei's behavior of running away after hearing the news caused some confusion in his military morale.
If you lose, you lose.
Everyone just acquiesced in the first achievement.
Now that the two armies have not yet fought, the eldest brother has taken the lead in leading them to withdraw. This situation really makes Zhang Fei a little unhappy.
Hearing what the two said, Xi Yu just nodded.
Xi Yu had no intention of accepting such credit.
Early in the morning, Xi Yu, who was wearing a big cloak, was called into the camp by Cao Cao.
At this point, how can it be as simple as having super powers to shake hands and make peace?
In the current chaos in the world, the princes are fighting against each other. Either you die or I die. How can anything be so easy?
However, I don't know what the situation was, but everyone in Cao Cao's army seemed to have no objections to Cao Cao's decision.
Seeing Zhang Fei staring at him with round eyes, he could only form a wry smile on his lips.
In such a situation, how can one make a hasty decision based on one's own anger?
Moreover, compared to Cao Cao's army which was several times or even dozens of times stronger, Liu Bei couldn't figure out how to defeat Cao Cao even if he tried his best.
"Brother, you..."
"I, Lao Zhang, will definitely kill him and make him stand up!"
Zhang Fei was panting, but he no longer held back his words. Seeing that Liu Bei had not spoken, he opened his mouth and spoke out his thoughts.
But at this moment, it can't be explained in just one or two sentences.
If Cao Song died in Xuzhou, Cao De would not be able to escape even if he thought about it.
Zhang Fei had a straight face and felt a little unhappy.
"Ayu, it's just that it's a bit cold now. I forgot about today's morning exercises!"
The reason why he was able to bring his country warriors to Gongsun Zan was because Gongsun Zan's reputation in Youzhou was too great.
"I know Ayu!"
Although the relationship between him and his younger brother cannot be said to be very close, after all, blood is thicker than water.
He was familiar with Cao Cao. If the other party could not escape from the previous situation, how could he be considered mediocre and incompetent?
If they really fight, he has no chance of winning!
Xi Yu originally planned to return to Yanzhou as soon as possible after transporting grain and grass.
The weather changes and rivers wash away grain routes. Such things are beyond his imagination.
The attitude of the people of Xuzhou towards Cao Jun also made Cao Cao see the benefits of this strategy.
In desperation, he could only temporarily agree to Cao Cao to stay in Cao camp.
It looks a bit ugly after all.
Inside Cao Jun’s camp.
If he left like this, Boss Cao would lose face.
Cao's army is now as powerful as a rainbow, and the matter of food and grass is definitely not a lie.
Nowadays, the transportation of grain and grass before Yanzhou and Xuzhou is done by wheelbarrows, so it is not difficult to travel on mountain roads.
Guan Yu, who was standing next to him, stretched out his hand and lightly brushed his beard. His eyes, which had been half-closed just now, opened slightly.
These excuses can naturally be seen by a discerning person at a glance.
Fortunately, the road is endless. Although the original grain road was washed away, a new grain road was expanded.
"What is tied to you and me are the lives of thousands of soldiers. If these lives are lost because of your own thoughts, my conscience will not be at ease!"
Tao Qian asked his confidant Cao Bao next to him?
Liu Bei naturally knew the news that there was no loss. Although he fled, Tao Qian didn't say anything on the surface.
However, the soldiers under Cao Cao were the Yellow Turban soldiers who had experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and they were left over from battle after battle.
"The Lord and I are discussing how to deal with these Xuzhou towns that have been captured. The policy you proposed before is indeed good!"
If it weren't for Xi Yu, his whole family would have died in Xuzhou.
At such a critical time of the war, Liu Bei no longer knew what kind of mood he should feel.
After telling Tao Qian exactly what was said in the letter, Cao Bao said nothing more. Tao Qian naturally had his own thoughts.
"What else can I say?"
It was clear that Cao's army's food route had been washed away by rivers, and coupled with the continuous rainy weather, how did Cao's army deliver food and grass to the front?
Seeing this scene, Cao Cao immediately opened his mouth to explain.
After all, it is a general who killed the enemy on the battlefield. It is really embarrassing to talk about the fact that he ran away without fighting.
That's right, Xi Zhicai's nature is casual. If he really wanted to hold the other person down like a donkey, it would be impossible.
Fortunately, he chose to retreat as soon as he received the news.
When the latter saw that it was him who had come in, he just raised his eyes and took a look, then he changed to a comfortable position and lay down.
As his thoughts flashed, Cao Cao's eyes fell on Xi Yu.
Liu Bei was a little confused after receiving the secret letter. The name Xiyu was no longer unfamiliar to him these days.
Just by looking at the drama, I knew that this guy had forgotten to exercise during this time.
He can't just give up and leave under such circumstances!
