Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

In Xiapi City.

Row after row of Cao's troops rushed into the city, mercilessly killing any fish that escaped Yuan Shu's army. Only those who laid down their weapons and knelt down to surrender could survive. Outside the city are the corpses of Yuan Jun like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and on top of the city are the exhausted Xuzhou defenders.

Cao Bao leaned slumped against the pillars of the tower and smiled bitterly.

resistance?

That was just a dream.

The front city gate has been smashed by Yuan Shujun's siege vehicle. Xiapi, which is defenseless, cannot even resist Yuan Shujun, let alone Cao Jun, who is a hundred times more elite.

Just now, he saw what it means to be a true elite, what it means to be a soldier who can fight in a hundred battles.

The victory, with 20,000 people versus 40,000 people, with less than 10% casualties, simply refreshed his understanding of elites.

Looking back at the private soldiers on my side who had to rely on the governor to hold down the formation and kill the deserters, I saw that the soldiers had no fighting spirit at this moment and regarded Cao Jun as their savior.

In such a situation, how to resist Cao Jun's pace.

Xu Chu took the lead. After rushing into the city gate, he did not enter the inner city. Instead, he got off his horse and climbed onto the tower.

He threw Ji Lingren's head hanging on his waist on the ground: "Who is the general guarding the city? Come here."

When Xuzhou soldiers saw Ji Ling's head, they were all frightened and retreated, exposing Cao Bao's position.

Cao Bao had no choice but to face him bravely and clasped his fists at Xu Chu: "General, I am Cao Bao, a subordinate of the State Mu Tao Envoy."

"Fool? What kind of name is that, but you are indeed a fool."

"This" Cao Bao took a photo of Xu Chu's power. He dared not speak out in anger, but lowered his head in a submissive manner.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, take your people and get out. I will take over the city defense of Xiapi."

Now that things have happened, it is no longer Cao Bao's turn to negotiate terms with Cao Cao's subordinates. He led the Xuzhou soldiers on the city and went down to the city.

Xuzhou has always had no shortage of famous generals. Even during the Three Kingdoms period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, many generals from Wu and Wei came from Xuzhou, such as Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Xu Sheng, Lu Dai, etc., but they have one thing in common, that is, they all came from Xuzhou. poor.

However, Tao Qian, the Mu of Xuzhou, liked the rich and disliked the poor, and looked down on people from poor families, so all the handsome and talented people fled to other places.

As a member of a wealthy family, Cao Bao was trusted by Tao Qian.

Now, Cao Cao has taken Xiapi, and things are getting interesting again.

Cao Cao has always been eclectic in employing people.

The sons of aristocratic families, such as Xun Yu, were taken as confidants, and their officials were worshiped as ministers.

A son from a poor family, such as Zhang Wu, not only had the title of son-in-law, but also had the title of general, and was a highly respected official.

Anyone with lofty ideals and skills can find a place in Cao Ying.

If you want to get in, what matters is your ability.

However, people like Cao Bao, who has no great ability and only relies on family background, are the most looked down upon.

Xu Chu shouted and shouted at him without feeling any pressure at all.

Because of this kind of person, it is almost impossible to work with him.

The Xiahou brothers were originally in the city to kill Yuan Jun's escaped fish, but when they looked back, they saw a big banner with the word "Cao" on the top of the city, shouting that they had been fooled.

The formation killed Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling, and now he took the credit for seizing the city. This credit must have been taken by that reckless man, and what happened to his two brothers.

The Chinese army tanks slowly entered the city.

Cao Cao saw Xu Chu's exaggerated physique standing at the top of the city from a distance, and smiled happily: "You are a prodigal son, you actually taught Zhong Kang to behave like this, and you are not afraid of offending brother Xiahou."

"My lord, please don't make fun of me. Zhongkang has enlightened himself. What does it have to do with me?"

"Do you really think I'm blind? Do you really think I don't know what you said secretly to Xu Chu before he left the battle?"

"Hey, my lord has really wronged me. I didn't teach Zhongkang how to behave. I just told him that the prime minister wants to reuse Zhongkang and let him come back with a head start."

Cao Cao nodded, but felt sorry for Dian Wei and turned around to comfort him.

After all, Dian Wei had taken refuge with him earlier and was closer to him. Now that Xu Chu has made contributions, he will definitely lead the army in the future.

On the contrary, Dian Wei is still a captain holding a halberd, just protecting his safety.

Dian Wei, on the other hand, felt that it was nothing important. Everyone had their own ambitions. Instead, he felt that guarding Cao Cao's left and right sides was more meaningful than leading the army in battle.

Cheng Yu broke into a cold sweat when he heard this, and stretched out his hand to tug Guo Jia's sleeve.

Everyone knew that Cao Cao was suspicious, and even as a close advisor, he did not dare to tell him some things.

Guo Jia is his son-in-law, and he doesn't want the other party to make any mistakes.

For someone to guess the master's thoughts so straightforwardly, an ordinary person would at most see through it without revealing it, but Guo Jia dared to say it. Isn't this just looking for trouble?

But there are exceptions to everything.

There are two weirdos in Cao's camp who dare to say anything.

Wu is Zhang Wu.

Zhang Wu is naturally a vegetarian and has no scruples. He often refuses to send battle reports back as easily as drinking cold water. When he gets crazy, he dares to directly use the sword in the palace to lead the way in persuading the enemy to join.

However, he was the prime minister's son-in-law and the first important minister to follow Cao Cao.

The text is Guo Jia.

Guo Jia seemed to be a real prodigal. No matter what he thought about, he seemed to have no clue that Cao Cao was suspicious.

After being pulled by Cheng Yu, Guo Jia took out his sleeves without leaving any trace.

He naturally knew that Cheng Yu was worried about him.

It's a pity that although my father-in-law is wise, he doesn't understand people's hearts.

Everyone knew that Cao Cao was suspected of being seriously ill, but they never thought about why Cao Cao was suspected of being seriously ill.

Can a person who is really suspicious and seriously ill leave the huge Xuchang to his subordinates and lead his own army to conquer it at every turn?

First it was Qingzhou, then Xuzhou.

Isn't he afraid that Xun Yu's loyalty to the Han Dynasty will rekindle and he will respect Liu Xie and end up homeless when he goes out to fight?

And who is Liu Bei? He will be released if he doesn’t do the same thing.

It seems that Zhang Wu and Xu Chu, who often resisted orders in front of the battle and beat Boss Cao to the point of leaving the stage, would have died countless times in another place, but Cao Cao favored them.

This is not how a suspicious and seriously ill person should behave.

But Cao Cao really suspected that he was seriously ill only when he was excluding dissidents.

When had he ever had doubts about someone who was sincerely loyal to him?

If he had been more suspicious, Zhang Miao would not have been able to open the gate of Puyang to welcome Lu Bu into Yanzhou to cause rebellion.

But there is no need to say this. Different people have different ways of getting along.

Cheng Yu didn't understand people's hearts. He felt that Cao Cao was suspicious and ill. It was his style to be considerate when speaking. It would be strange if he was like himself, a vegetarian and unscrupulous, and said everything.

That's when it really arouses other people's suspicions.

"What are you two doing sneaking around there?"

"Hahaha, back to the prime minister, my father-in-law told me a joke just now."

"tell me the story."

"My father-in-law told me that Zhang Manzi is not a lustful man who is greedy for money."

Cao Cao rolled his eyes: "Nonsense, if that boy is not greedy for money and lust, then Fengxiao, who is nostalgic for flowers, has become a gentleman. In this case, I heard that Mi Zhu has a sister with a good reputation, and he can use his son to help him Qian marries him, and Duojia draws him in."
