Chapter 68 Brother, don’t panic, watch me, Lao Zhang, shoot Cao Cao in the head

When Cao Jun entered the towns of Xuzhou, he did not do any harm to the people. This was the first of its kind in the world.

For ordinary people who have experienced wars in these years, they have never seen such an army.

Whether it was among the Yellow Turbans in the previous uprising, or the feudal armies in the subsequent war.

These armies were not burning, killing, looting, or forcibly collecting taxes.

It is unheard of for someone like Cao Jun to do this.

Trust between each other starts from the smallest details.

With the Yanzhou policy in front, most people gradually heard about Yanzhou.

And with the implementation of the farm division policy, this trust began to grow.

Nowadays, the perception of Cao Jun in the towns and cities of Xuzhou under Cao Jun has completely changed.

I definitely still need to fight, but there is no need to fight so urgently now.

Putting down the slip in his hand, Xi Yu glanced at Cao Cao and Cao Cao in front of him.

The morale of Xuzhou is weak. If Cao Jun can defeat Liu Bei this time, the morale of the entire Xuzhou will definitely be hit hard again.

The two of them have the same feelings and feelings about the present.

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and subconsciously he couldn't help but start to think about it.

Xi Yu looked at Cao Cao and spoke calmly.

Later generations' evaluations of Cao Cao and Liu Bei were mixed, but Xi Yu didn't have much opinion on this.

But, it’s still not enough!

Cao Bao glanced at Tao Qian with some doubts. He didn't have much contact with Liu Bei.

Probably, in history, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou three times in a row for this reason!

However, now that Xuzhou has been captured, it seems that all he needs to do is force himself to annex the entire Xuzhou.

Capture Xuzhou in one fell swoop?

At least, if Tao Qian really dies one day, Cao Bao will have something to rely on in the future.

Over time, these Xuzhou towns became towns under Yanzhou's command, and there was no problem at all.

Since entering Tancheng, he has ordered his soldiers to start building the city wall. The originally narrow Tancheng wall has now become somewhat taller and expanded.

By that time, Yuan Shao might have put aside his fight for Youzhou with Gongsun Zan, but would instead make his younger brother suffer.

"The emperor is still undecided today, and the Han court is still there. My brother is attacking Xuzhou now, and all the princes in the world are watching."

Cao Cao casually spread out the map of Xuzhou placed on the desk, raised his eyes and asked Xi Yu.

Tao Qian, who also received the news, glanced hard at Cao Bao after hearing the letter from Liu Bei's envoy.

The war between Yanzhou and Xuzhou, in later generations, might not even lead to a major province.

"Your Majesty, can you really trust Liu Xuande?"

Thinking of Liu Bei, Cao Cao's teeth couldn't help but itch!

I issued the edict this time, clearly stating that I was avenging my father and holding up the banner of righteousness.

Looking at Cao Cao who was frowning, Xi Yu looked at Cao Cao with a slight smile on his lips.

When the time comes, I’ll have a good time celebrating the Chinese New Year in Yanzhou!

Although the people's hearts and minds can be used, the people of this era still follow their words.

He heard that Liu Bei and Cao Cao still had some friendship.

Tao Qian was weak, and Cao Bao beside him couldn't help but shake hands.

"General Cao, please lead the troops to help Liu Xuande. Don't let Cao Cao invade our Xuzhou territory!"

This seems to be the only plan for now.

If the princes really join forces to attack, the entire Yanzhou will not be able to stop it.

"Go and help him!"

"It's not that we can't annex Xuzhou, but we can't be too impatient about this!"

"Brother, please advance slowly this time. I expect that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in the north will face each other again soon."

If you want to conquer the entire Xuzhou in one go, such a thing cannot be solved in a month or two.

Generally speaking, in such towns, the public sentiment is already somewhat inclined towards Cao Jun.

Now that Tao Qian is old, he has followed Tao Qian for a long time, and the other party now thinks about him.

How could he be willing to let him give up like this?

"Could it be that our army can't capture Xuzhou?"

And if it can really achieve this, it will be the most dazzling thing for it.

Such a town cannot be defended for long. If it is really surrounded by Cao Cao's army, it will become a dead end.

After thinking clearly, Xi Yu raised his head and glanced at Cao Cao, who was looking at him expectantly.

What's more, Yuan Shu is still watching in the south.

When the two armies are fighting, it is said that you can rush over by rushing over. Do you really think that the generals and soldiers in front of Cao Cao are all blind?

Zhang Fei curled his lips and said nothing, but the eyes of Guan Yu and Zhao Yun beside him lit up at the same time.

However, this era cannot compare with later generations, and there are no ship artillery.

Xi Yu took a deep breath and looked slowly at the flames in the furnace in front of him.

As soon as he said this, Liu Bei glared at him.

It was not beyond Xi Yu's expectation that the towns and cities in Xuzhou under Cao Jun were so stable.

"Our army's attack on Xuzhou cannot be useless. Now the towns in Xuzhou under our command have shown miraculous results!"

Yuan Shao from the north could not fail to see this no matter how stupid he was.

In addition to the stability of these towns, the people sang praises.

As the movement of Cao's army became clear, Liu Bei, who was in Tancheng for the first time, also received the news.

Cao Cao sighed and thought carefully, but there was nothing wrong with what Xi Yu said.

"My lord, take good care of your health, I will leave now!"

But now, it would not be a good thing for Cao Cao to go up against Yuan Shao, who has a profound background.

Its meaning cannot be more obvious.

"Brother, what are you afraid of? Cao Cao is also a man with a head on his shoulders, so there is nothing to be afraid of!"

There is still a big gap between today's territory and the territory of later generations.

Xi Zhicai beside him was also a little helpless. He had already analyzed the situation in Xuzhou in his mind before.

Most of them were trivial matters, and Cao Cao had a lot of such matters on his desk.

In the past, it would have taken years or even decades to win over people's hearts, but now the effect can be achieved in just over a month.

Not to mention, if Tao Qian really asked the Han court for help, a world-wide edict would make Cao Cao at a loss.

In desperation, Liu Bei could only choose to station his troops and horses in front of the city wall of Tancheng, waiting for the arrival of Cao Jun's army.

The other party was able to help Kong Beihai before, so he was quite trustworthy.

As for Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others.

The latter raised his head: "Of course it is to annex Xuzhou!"

Xi Yu nodded. Now Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan have won against Shang Zangba and Sun Guan.

After all, this town is too small.

How could this not make Cao Cao angry inside?

For the current plan, if we can annex the entire Xuzhou in one go, it would be the best thing for Cao Cao's camp.

"But this time my brother has great righteousness, naturally no prince in the world will take action."

It is too difficult to capture the entire Xuzhou before the end of the year.

Of course, the people who have lived in Xuzhou for generations still have some feelings for Xuzhou itself. It is normal for some people to have a wait-and-see attitude.

Cao Cao had no intention of retreating.

Almost subconsciously, Xi Yu raised his head and glanced at Cao Cao, who was smiling with narrowed eyes.

Now that the Han court is still there, some people will not sit back and watch Cao Cao annex the entire Xuzhou in one fell swoop.

He was somewhat confused about what Xuzhou would look like in the future.
