"You want to surrender?" Xu Zhen asked cheerfully.
"Yes, even in my dreams…"
If he didn't vote, he would be gone.
" I'm really kind-hearted, and I don't like fighting and killing. I'm afraid of blood…" Xu Zhen hid his hands in his sleeves and squatted on the hill."How about this, let's put forty-two first.”
"Go and report that I'm here. Lure a group of people over.”
" If you can do it, you'll have food and water. If you can't do it, you'll have to capture them all and throw them into the river. If you attract an army, you won't be able to catch up to me…"
You're afraid of blood…
The hundreds of cavalrymen from Bingzhou felt their brains buzzing. This wasn't the case when they were killing people just now.
Wen Hou was stunned. Was this army that was transporting the rations made up of a bunch of commandants?! Otherwise, how could his martial arts be so high?!
"Are you in?"
Dian Wei walked past the soldiers who were tied up and crouched on the ground, slapping each of them on the head.
"Are you in?"
"F * ck! I'll do it!"
"F * ck! Fuck!"
None of these soldiers dared to hesitate at all and hurriedly replied. At this critical juncture, who would dare to not? They wished they could give their lives to Xu Zhen as long as they did not push their "second brother" into the ice hole.
This person was too ruthless!
How dare you say that our Bingzhou soldiers are cunning…
……
A day later, Xu Prefecture agreed and sent an urgent military report to Cao Cao's camp.
He had just built some buildings on the battlefield of Xu Prefecture. Currently, only Tan County, Xiapi, and a few other places where he had stationed his troops had not been breached. They could be considered to be struggling at death's door. The rest of the places had all been breached.
What made Tao Qian fearful was that all the commoners were welcoming Cao Cao without any intention of resisting.
There was no other reason.
It was because Cao Cao had implemented a benevolent policy, allowing the surrendered people to live and work in peace and contentment. He had opened the granaries to release food, allowing the surrounding destitute and hungry people to get food. At least, they did not have to go hungry.
There were even more aristocrats who joined Cao Cao. The reason was…when Cao Cao first came to Xu Prefecture, he had used heavy punishment to kill those aristocrats who dared to resist.
After this winter, they finally had some peace. They knew that if they resisted again, they would definitely be killed.
If they resisted, they would die, but if they supported Cao Cao, they would live a better life. The wealthy merchants were not fools. The gentry also wanted peace, so they naturally supported Cao Cao.
At this moment, Cao Cao slammed the table in Xu Prefecture's camp.
"Lu Bu! This bastard!"
This was a letter from Xun Yu. It came in two pieces. The first was that Xun Yu suspected that Zhang Miao and Chen Gong were secretly colluding with Lu Bu. He asked Cao Cao to find out as soon as possible or return to guard Yanzhou after a long time.
The second message was a letter that left the next day and arrived less than six hours later.
They had received a warning from Xu Zhen and had tightly closed the other cities in Yanzhou to ensure that the crisis within the entire Yanzhou was resolved.
"Although the danger of Yanzhou has been averted, Lu Bu has not been executed. This person still has more than ten valiant generals under him. In addition, he is quite famous in the vicinity of Yanzhou. He should be hiding somewhere, ready to develop at any time.”
Cao Cao immediately understood that the battle of Xu Prefecture could not continue. If it continued to drag on, he was afraid that he would be attacked from both sides, which could lead to an even greater failure.
Moreover, Yixuan's provisions had not been delivered.
"Wait! Where is Yixuan?"
"The provisions are on the way!"
Cao Ren immediately replied. At this moment, his heart was filled with anxiety. He was obviously worried about Xu Zhen's comfort." Lu Bu gave up on taking over Chenliu and led the light cavalry to chase after Yixuan. His goal was to seize the grain and use it to store up his own grain. He could also recruit people.”
Cao Cao immediately panicked. However, he thought about how they had occupied more than half of Xu Prefecture, and that they had achieved their strategic goal of plowing this year. It was impossible for Xu Prefecture to cultivate during the spring, so when the autumn harvest came, their food supply would decrease this year.
Then the population would definitely flow out, and the rest of Xuzhou would be able to accept the people.
With this change, the aristocrats and merchants of Xiapi and Tan County would have a new supporter. Of course, this supporter would not be Tao Qian or Liu Bei.
In troubled times, everything was simple. Whoever could bring greater benefits and stability would have the most supporters. Cao Cao had used his previous experiences to let the people and aristocrats of Xuzhou know his benevolence and faith.
Therefore, the situation was good.
"Retreat!"
Cao Cao immediately said calmly," Zixiao, you will guard the lands that we have seized from Xu Prefecture and continue to implement benevolent policies. I will personally return to Yanzhou and will not let off these two traitors, Chen Gong and Zhang Miao!”
Zhang Miao was his good friend! She was once willing to entrust her family to him, but who knew that he would stab her in the back.
As for Xu Zhen…
Cao Cao was terrified.
At the end of the year, during spring plowing, and when the army was about to set out, he had asked Xu Zhen three times about the hidden dangers of the battle of Xu Prefecture.
Xu Zhen only said one sentence,"Be careful of Lu Bu."
He had not expected that it would come true. His family had almost fallen into Lu Bu's hands. The entire Yanzhou should have been his base, but he had almost given it up because of his arrogance.
"I regret not listening to Yixuan. This time, when I go back, I must let Yixuan be my commander.”
"I hope Yixuan will be fine."
Cao Cao's eyes were cold and sharp.
It seemed that the news that Xu Zhen might be in danger made Cao Cao's heart panic.
