This winter, when it was about to enter winter, there was no trace of the Cao army in Xiao Pei.
Three days later, Tao Qian received news from Yanzhou that Chen Gong and Zhang Miao had welcomed Chen Gong into Yanzhou. As a result, Cao Cao's rear was almost breached by Lu Bu, and he was continuously defeated.
He went straight to Juancheng.
Tao Qian was instantly overjoyed. It was as if the coffin lid that was about to close suddenly stopped. He directly lifted the coffin and stood up!
After some discussion, they ordered Cao Bao to send 30,000 troops to Xiaopei to scout the camp and find out the strength of Cao Cao's army. It was fine if they did not do so, but once they did, the moment the army left Xiapi's city gate, they would be attacked by cavalry.
Among the tiger leopard cavalry, the tiger cavalry is the most important cavalry, good at fighting and charging array.
As for the leopard cavalry, they were light cavalry. Most of them were fast horses. They were good at fast attacks and riding archery. The tiger leopard cavalry charged out one after another. The tiger cavalry charged into the formation.
The leopard cavalry took a roundabout route. Xiapi did not have a strong moat, so the city gates were occupied. Once the gates were opened, Cao Cao's troops poured out from all directions. They only paid a small price to break through the city.
When Tao Qian heard the news, he quickly returned to the coffin and closed the lid of the coffin. He died in Tan County in a fit of anger.
As a result, the entire Xu Prefecture fell into Cao Cao's hands.
Winter Moon 12th.
Cao Cao brought along Xu Zhen and Xi Zhicai, the two military strategists, and Cao Ren, Cao Chun, and Cao Hong, the three generals who were related to the clan.
Yu Jin, Li Dian, and Xu Huang, three generals with foreign surnames.
He ascended to the government office of Tan County, the administrative center of Xuzhou. The government office had two floors and was built ten steps up. It was quite majestic, as if he had entered a temple.
It was made of precious materials, had a long history, and was extremely spacious. It was a palace level government office.
It was used to discuss the big and small matters of Xuzhou.
Cao Cao climbed the last step, rolled up his robe, and straightened his body to look back.
A huge square that was several thousand feet wide could be seen. Two rows of soldiers were standing in formation, all the way to the gate. There were a total of five hundred people.
It was winter today, and although it wasn't hot, it was warm. At this moment, Cao Cao's face was filled with joy.
"Hahaha! Great rivers and mountains, the land of Xu Prefecture should be the foundation of our Cao Clan's grain hoarding!”
"Zhicai!"
"Yes!"
Xi Zhicai quickly stood up and bowed deeply.
Cao Cao patted his shoulder and smiled,""Go and invite the main families of the Sun and Mei families. I want to give Xu Zhen a big house in the inner city of Tan County.”
"Then, the two girls of the Mei Clan, called Mei Zhen, will send the betrothal gifts. I will be Bo Wen's matchmaker and take her as his side wife.”
When Xu Zhen heard this, he immediately felt comfortable.
With Liu Bei's two wives in hand, the next step is to go to River East. You pretend to be kind and watch me be chased away by Zhang Fei?
You three pits are making me take the blame every day?
The last seat wasn't a person?
Even if the last seat wasn't treated as a guest of honor, it should still be kept for work.
Go be a bachelor! Big Ears!
"Thank you, my lord!"
Xu Zhen bowed happily.
This reward made Xi Zhicai very envious.
" In addition," Cao Cao continued," the third thing I promised Xu Zhen is to treat the Chen family well and befriend Chen Gui and Chen Deng. Invite them to the Tan County government office. I want to invite the two of them to a banquet."”
"Here, I'll do it now."
When it came to rewards, it was only the acting talent that was important. He was involved in everything, big or small, and he would not miss anything.
Moreover, he was proficient in all the etiquette laws since the Zhou Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty. From the time he became the chancellor until now, there had never been any mistakes in such matters.
This was something Xu Zhen could not compare to.
Xi Zhicai turned around and left, leaving Xu Zhen to accompany Cao Cao.
At this moment, Cao Cao was obviously in a good mood. He turned around and stared at Xu Zhen a few more times before smiling and saying,"How is it? Are you satisfied with this arrangement?”
Xu Zhen nodded." I'm satisfied, I'm satisfied. I feel better now…"
"Then, can you tell me now why you must be close to Miss Chen?”
Cao Cao really didn't know about this. He didn't know much about the culture in Xuzhou.
When he was an official in the past, he did not come to Xuzhou to play. He only knew that the Danyang soldiers were very powerful in the past, but now because Tao Qian was old, they gradually lost their power.
After a period of time, they were naturally not as good as his tiger leopard cavalry.
It was even inferior to Xu Zhen's Snow Dragon Cavalry.
Of course, this was Cao Cao's idea. What he didn't know was that because of the difference in training methods and armaments, they would really fight.
Even Cao Cao's Tiger Leopard Cavalry was inferior to the Snow Dragon Cavalry…
Xu Zhen thought for a moment, as if he was trying to phrase his words. After a long time, he waited for the generals to look at him curiously before saying,"It's like this. Within Xu Prefecture, there are actually three factions.”
"Scarlet Yang Sect, Commoner Sect, and Scholar Sect.”
"Among them, the plebeian faction is led by Sun Qian and Mi Zhu, two wealthy merchants. They have countless assets and are enough to support the army.”
"The Scarlet Yang Sect is led by Cao Bao and has tens of thousands of Scarlet Yang Soldiers.”
"As for the Shi clan, it's this Chen Gui, Chen Deng, and his son. Their family has previously produced many 2000 koku, and their family is illustrious.”
Xu Zhen gave Cao Cao a serious smile. Then, his handsome face turned slightly red and he became righteous again." If I marry Mi Zhu's sister, I can win over the plebeian faction.”
" My lord, you are friendly with the Chen clan, so you can gain the support of the aristocratic families. Now that the Xuzhou army has surrendered, you can also take in the Scarlet Yang Sect. Only by taking all three factions under your command can you truly take Xuzhou. I'm not doing this to marry a concubine, but for my lord.”
After saying that, Xu Zhen bowed deeply, as if he was a great man of the ages. In an instant, a light arose spontaneously.
Cao Cao's face twitched.
Damn it, I almost believed it.
Damn you…This is the first time I've heard someone talk about lust in such a righteous manner.
Awesome.
