Three Kingdoms: before lying flat, dragging Zhao Yun to defect to Cao

Chapter 1 Chen Deng: Let Lao Tao Qian feel the anger from foodies

"My lord, there will inevitably be one or more vicious battles between the Xiliang army and Lu Bu."

"In a short period of time, the two should not be able to tell the difference."

Facing Cao Cao's question, Cheng Yu was the first to analyze it.

Cao Cao nodded noncommittally.

If he hadn't heard Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe mentioned in Tong Fei's heart again and again, Cao Cao might have thought like Cheng Yu.

"My lord, I think Lu Bu will be defeated by the Xiliang army."

At the same time, Guo Jia put forward different views.

"Why did Feng Xiao make such a statement?"

Cao Cao asked quickly.

In fact, Cao Cao believed that Lu Bu was more threatening.

After all, the combination of Lv Bu and Wang Yun is equivalent to mastering the Bingzhou Army, the original Luoyang Army and all the Chang'an families.

But the Xiliang Army had nothing else to use except a group of brave and skilled soldiers.

Of course, the premise is that Jia Xu, who is full of uncertain factors, does not participate in this matter.

If Jia Xu chooses to help the Xiliang Army, it will be a different result.

In Boss Cao's heart, because of Tong Fei, he already regarded Jia Xu as the second Li Ru, even worse.

Glancing at Tong Fei, Guo Jia saw that he had no intention of speaking, so he said slowly:

"Wang Yun is a headstrong man, but he is just a rotten Confucian who wants to be a minister of power. After a long time, he will definitely become unpopular."

"And Lu Bu is just a warrior, without the ability to control the overall situation."

"The two of them joined forces, and now they seem to be powerful, but they are actually nothing more than an empty shell."

"The Xiliang army can fail many times, but after the failure, they can still unite as one, aiming at revenge, and continuously attack Chang'an."

"But Lu Bu and Wang Yun can't. The forces under their command are just gathered together because of the current situation."

"Only if "[-]" fails once, it will definitely fall apart!"

"What's more, Wang Yun and Lu Bu have lost the critical opportunity." Killing the Xiliang army instead of choosing to recruit them has already lost the hearts of the people. "

"Failure is only a matter of time."

After Guo Jia finished speaking eloquently, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

In fact, in his remarks, the characteristics of the Xiliang Army and Wang Yun's character were all mentioned when he was chatting with Tong Fei.

Otherwise, Guo Jia, an alcoholic, doesn't pay much attention to major events in the world, so how could he know this?

However, Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai, including Cheng Yu, were already shocked by these words.

As thick-skinned as Cheng Yu, he had no choice but to give Guo Jia a big thumbs up.

Indeed, Wang Yun is Lu Bu's biggest pig teammate.

The right time and place are suitable for people, and he and Lu Bu did not occupy any of them.

The Xiliang army is now united, and they want to take Chang'an and avenge Dong Zhuo.

And what about Lu Bu and Wang Yun?

These two idiots don't even know what to do!

Wang Yun obviously should make full use of Liu Xie in his hands at this time, but in the end he insisted on carrying out a big cleanup, and wanted to wipe out the Xiliang army.

Isn't this a silly batch?

The Xiliang army was not something he could kill if he wanted to. He was forced to fight desperately, and it was not certain who would win in the end.

As for Lu Bu, he was even more courageous and foolhardy.

"My lord, no matter whether Wang Yun and Lu Bu win or the Xiliang army wins in the end, their control in Chang'an will inevitably decline."

"And if we sit in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, our strength will be qualitatively enhanced."

"Even if it's to save His Majesty, it shouldn't be a problem!"

Xi Zhicai said excitedly.

As the first counselor who followed Boss Cao, Xi Zhicai knew that Cao Cao was very worried about the fact that the allied forces of the princes failed to rescue Liu Xie.

If there is a chance, Cao Cao will definitely enter Luoyang as soon as possible to rescue Liu Xie.

After that, everyone discussed for a while.

In the end, he came to the conclusion that no matter how much the Chang'an issue is discussed, it is bullshit, and the most urgent thing now is to beat old Tao Qian out!

According to the news from the frontline sentry, the city defense built by Cao Bao is indeed very strong, almost harder than a turtle shell.

Therefore, Cao Cao decided not to beat him, and let Cao Ren lead the army to continue to surround him.

Anyway, everyone knows Cao Ren, the famous highland guard, he does not take the initiative to attack, and Cao Bao does not leave the city.

The two just stared at each other every day.

Moreover, Cao Ren's banner is also the word "Cao", which is very confusing.

Let Cao Bao mistakenly think that Boss Cao himself is here.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cao Cao decided to personally lead the [-] main force to march towards Pengcheng in the dark.

In order to cover Cao Cao's smuggling, Cao Ren commanded soldiers to launch a feint attack on Xiaopei that night.

Cao Bao was naturally furious when he heard the news of Cao Jun's attack.

He's building the city wall here, and he's doing it happily.

Cao Jun attacked at this time, isn't it just a display of the fortifications that Brother Leopard built so hard?

Occupying the geographical advantage and Cao Ren's intention to act, Cao Bao easily blocked Cao Jun's attack.

"Cut, it seems that Cao's army's combat effectiveness is no more than that."

On the tower, the victorious Cao Bao yelled disdainfully.

The lieutenants and partial generals on the side quickly praised him for his bravery.

And Cao Ren secretly laughed under the city.

Cao Bao didn't find anything wrong at all.

As everyone knows, Cao Cao himself has led [-] troops to bypass Xiaopei and rush to Pengcheng.

In the next two or three days, Cao Ren kept fighting with Cao Bao, sending soldiers to fight symbolically every day.

That appearance, very much like the Niwa teacher who was forced to go to work.

But Cao Bao enjoyed it, and took all the repelling of Cao Jun as his own credit.

He even held a banquet in the city to celebrate his great achievements.

Under such circumstances, Boss Cao quietly bypassed Xiaopei step by step and approached Pengcheng.

.........

Pengcheng City Lord's Mansion

It was already late at night, but Tao Qian was still leaning over the table, staring at the map in front of him in a daze, at a loss for a while.

The news of Liu Bei's defeat had already spread to Pengcheng. After Tao Qian reprimanded Mi Fang, he found that he had no way to stop Cao Cao.

What made Tao Qian feel even worse was that his two idiot sons, Tao Shang and Tao Ying, were still unable to help at this critical moment, and they were really worthless.

Since he decided to fight Cao Cao, Tao Qian has been sleepless every night.

The night was long, but Tao Qian didn't feel like sleeping at all.

He was afraid that as soon as he fell asleep, Cao Jun's butcher's knife would appear on his neck.

Tao Qian knew that once Pengcheng was broken, Cao Cao would definitely kill him.

Under such circumstances, the only option left for him is to fight Cao Cao desperately to the end.

No matter right or wrong, no matter what the consequences are, Tao Qian only has this choice.

For this reason, Tao Qian did not hesitate to imprison Chen Deng and Mi Zhu, two old subordinates who might defect to the enemy.

Even if Tao Qian knew that his action would be a big disappointment and would cause all the aristocratic families in Xuzhou to lose trust in him, he would not hesitate to do so!

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a butler's knock on the door.

"Master, Master Sun Qian asks to meet you."

"Let him in."

Tao Qian responded casually.

Half a minute later, Sun Gan walked in with hurried steps.

After going to Liu Bei as an envoy, Sun Qian went back to Xuzhou first around the trail.

After that, he took over the duties of Chen Deng and Mi Zhu to help Tao Qian settle down.

"Gongyou, why did you come to me in the middle of the night?"

Tao Qian forced a smile on his old face and asked.

"My lord, I just got the news that the heads of the Zhao family, Wang family, Zhang family, and Lu family have gathered together to discuss matters again."

"Haha, these people are indispensable to my Pengcheng, and they are old friends with each other, so it's appropriate to get together."

Tao Qian said with a smile.

But he knew in his heart that there must be nothing good for the heads of these Xuzhou great families to gather together.

"Oh~~~"

"My lord, according to the people arranged by my subordinates, these patriarchs seem to want to rescue Chen Yuanlong and Mi Zizhong and take charge of the power in Xuzhou."

Sun Qian sighed.

The relationship between him and Mi Zhu and Chen Deng is also very good, but now that Sun Qian has joined Tao Qian, there is no possibility of switching jobs and going back.

In other words, if Mi Zhu and Chen Deng were allowed to hold the power, let alone Tao Qian, his grandson would also die a miserable death.

"It's like this..."

"It seems that the old man is getting old."

Tao Qian said meaningfully.

Although the overall strength of those aristocratic families is not as good as that of the Chen family, Mi family, and Cao family, they are still the most powerful families in Pengcheng.

If these Patriarchs were dealt with rashly, Tao Qian would definitely be even more unpopular.

but……

At this point, does he have any other choice?

Tao Qian is not the Holy Mother. Although he has no great ability, as a qualified prince, he knows what to do now.

"Gongyou, take my warrant and dispatch two thousand troops from the barracks in the city. Be sure to take down all the families that participated in the rebellion!"

"what!"

"My lord, will this be too...?"

Sun Qian was surprised.

He told Tao Qian about the gathering of the family leaders, not trying to kill them all.

But I hope there is a good solution.

But now that Tao Qian looks like this, it is obvious that he must get rid of these aristocratic families to be happy.

"Gongyou, do you think that if you are in such a field as me, how can you win against Cao Cao?"

Tao Qian asked back.
