Chapter 120 Cao Cao dares to be the first in the world

Cao Cao took a deep breath when he heard the words. Just now, Tao Qian's curse almost blew up his lungs. Cao Jun's surging offensive eased the anger in his chest a lot. He turned his face and looked at Guo Jia's clear eyes and thin face and said, "Well, this arrangement is a good opportunity! Today, I will completely destroy Tao Qian from spirit to psychology, let his gentle sweep the floor, and expose his ugly face in broad daylight..."

"Ha ha, Cao Gong may not be. Xuzhou is an old city, and the local consciousness and clan consciousness are very strong..." Guo Jia responded with a smile.

"Oh, is it?" Cao Cao was also infected by Guo Jia's relaxed emotions, "Ha ha, let's kill Tao Qian in a city, then use a city to offset the hatred in my heart... Old City? In Ben Mu's eyes, it's just rotten wood! Fengxiao, at this moment, I feel the struggle and suffering of the heroes in the past in the face of such an old city... If the old city wants to be reborn, only when it encounters a disaster can it be reborn. In the past, what the heroes didn't do or didn't dare to do, I want to do!"

Cao Cao spoke, his eyes flashed, and Guo Jia just smiled and said nothing. The place where the two stayed is like a quiet island in the turbulent waves. On both sides of them are full of the sound of trumpets made by tens of thousands of soldiers controlling the stone throwing machine. Their eyes are endless waves of stone clouds. The roar of the stone clouds breaking through the air barrier, covering the muffled sound of stones hitting the wall.

When the stones were piled up ten meters high at the root of the three walls, Cao Hong, Cao Zhen, Xia Houshang and other fierce generals led their generals to attack the city.

Nearly ten thousand generals and soldiers are divided into three roads. The soldiers in front of them carry wooden boards and will be laid on the trap. The rebellious horse array in front of the trap is picked up by the last wave of soldiers with long-handled weapons. This wave of generals is tiger and leopard riders: the so-called tiger and leopard cavalry is a heavy armored cavalry. Each general and soldiers are wearing heavy armor, and the mount is also covered with fish scale armor, and only two are exposed. Horse-eye, horse-eye is also covered by a silky semi-circular iron cage...

After the tiger and leopard rode and flew and refused to the front, the third wave of generals had been able to rush to the wall 400 away at full speed. Under the cover of dense stone clouds, Cao Hong, Cao Zhen and other generals jumped onto the stone pile and threw iron hooks into the city at a height of seven or eight meters. In the blink of an eye, more than ten iron hooks were fixed on the wall, and then the general took the lead to grab the rope and climbed to the wall, as dexterous and rapid as a monkey. With a seven- or eight-meter stone pile, there is no need for ladders and cloud carts at all.

At this time, the soldiers who control the stone-throwing machine no longer throw stones in this direction. If they throw stones at this area, it is undoubtedly to help the enemy's busy. Who dares to offend such stupid things and low-level mistakes? According to the quality of Cao's soldiers, if you make such a low-level mistake, you don't need Cao Cao to be guilty. The person concerned is ashamed to commit suicide!

Hundreds of Cao soldiers climbed the wall and formed combat effectiveness. With the combat effectiveness in close combat, Cao's long-range attacks stopped. When hundreds of Cao soldiers climbed the city wall, hundreds of Cao soldiers rushed down the city wall along the steps, and the intermediate generals jumped directly from the 15-meter-high wall.

Thousands of Xuzhou soldiers gathered under the city wall. In contrast, the number of the Cao army was small, but the Cao army was small and good, and the morale was high. Although the number of people in the Xuzhou army was large, their morale was low. They were scared by the powerful and domineering stone-throwing machine and had not recovered. When Cao Jun waved weapons and rushed like them, the Xuzhou army just dealt with it casually and turned around and ran away.

In this way, Cao Jun quickly pulled out a number of people to open the gate. The first thing that rushed into the gate was, of course, hundreds of tigers and leopards, riding through the aisle of the gate, and the whole ground was trembling. Hundreds of tigers and leopards rode along the official road and went straight to the state capital. When they passed the fleeing enemy, they took special care of them. Those enemy soldiers suffered. They were either picked up by a halberd or hit by a war horse with fish scales and armor.

When hundreds of tigers and leopards rushed to Tao Qian's official residence at a high speed, they encountered the tenacious resistance of Tao Qian's direct soldiers. Swords, swords, shadows, flesh and blood flew across the ghosts and howling. Hundreds of tigers and leopards have rushed back and forth five times. Only after completely killing nearly a thousand enemy soldiers can they rush into the mansion.

Hundreds of tigers and leopards rode with nearly a thousand Cao army infantry to search the state capital, and no trace of Tao Qian himself was found. However, Tao Qian's parents, wives, concubines and children were still in the mansion, and there were also four carts of gold and silver treasures, which showed that Tao Qian fled in a hurry and did not have time to escape with his family at all... The tiger and leopard rode did not go. The back door of the mansion chased Tao Qian, who absconded, rushed out of the mansion and went straight to the East Gate.

Thousands of Xuzhou troops at Dongchengmen saw hundreds of tigers and leopards appear in front of them like heavenly soldiers. They dispersed without waiting for the tigers and leopards to ride bows and arrows. In this way, the tiger and leopard rode to open the Dongcheng Gate unimpeded. Xiahou Yuan, who gathered around the suspension bridge, looked at the open gate and drove his horse to accelerate to the gate.

The Xuzhou army at Dongchengmen fled for their lives with their feet. How can they run the four hooves of a well-trained tiger and leopard? They ran desperately to the South Gate and the North Gate. By the time they were halfway through, Cao Jun's tiger and leopard riders had successfully rushed to the two gates. The Xuzhou soldiers near these two gates could not stop the arrows of the tiger and leopard from shooting. The arrows they shot at the tiger and leopard could only shoot a little spark on the Cao army and the war horse, and then fell to the ground in vain. When Cao's infantry rushed over like a tide, the Xuzhou soldiers who were suppressed near the Tibetan Cave could only disarm and surrender: they raised the white flag to the Cao army, threw away their weapons, went down the wall, and knelt on the two sides of the official road.

After half a day of siege, Cao's army controlled the whole situation of Xuzhou City. In the early morning of the second day, in order to prevent Cao's army from slaughtering the city, the rich families and celebrities in Xuzhou gathered collectively in the state capital. They were fearless and looked detached, as if there was nothing in the world that they could not handle.

When Cao Cao and Guo Jia walked out of the mansion under the protection of the tall and strong tiger guards, these suzerains and celebrities collectively paid attention to Cao Cao. In the crowded crowd, Cao Cao saw the famous people in the world at a glance. In troubled times, when the super celebrities such as Wolong, Phoenix, Feihu Mo Qilin did not come out, the most famous super celebrities at that time were Xu Shao in Luoyang, Cai Yi in Chang'an, Mr. Sima Hui of Shuijing in Nanyang, and Bian Rang in Xuzhou. These celebrities are all moral models, and the models of society have invisible spiritual power. Even if they do not have a prominent identity, their words can make an unknown person become a hero in the world, and can also make a hegemon bear a bad reputation and become a villain referred to by thousands of people.

Cao Cao can ignore the rich clans in Xuzhou, but in the face of famous people in the world, Cao Cao still dares not neglect. Cao Cao took two steps forward and bowed his hand to Biang Shi Li and said, "Cao Cao from Gongzhou paid a visit to Mr. Bian Rang. Mr. Bian Rang, I originally planned to visit Mr. Ben after dealing with the difficult problems..."

While returning the salute quietly, he arched his hand to Cao Cao and said, "Cao Mu, I dare not do it! The old man came to visit Cao Mu today, just to advise Cao Mu not to kill, just click! The old man is also deeply saddened by the tragic experience of Cao Mu's parents... Cao Mu, my condolences by the way!"

"Oh, thank you for your kindness! I thank you very much!" Cao Cao bowed deeply to the side. Then, Cao Cao went straight to the vegetable market in the central area of the city under the protection of dozens of tiger guards. Bian Rang and other suzerains followed him in a sedan chair.

In the past, the empty vegetable market is now under strict control by Cao Jun. A total of hundreds of people from Xuzhou Mu Taoqian's family and other confidants and staff who did not have time to escape, a total of hundreds of people knelt in the center of the street. Cai Shikou, which used to be a civilian facility, has now become a murderous execution ground.

While Cao Cao and Guo Jia knelt under the parasol. Bian Rang and several other suzerains knelt down and attended the table. Bian Rang and several suzerains also know why Cao Cao waved his troops to attack Xuzhou: Cao Cao did not capture Xuzhou to expand his power, but to avenge his parents' deep hatred. Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian and Cao Cao had hatred before, so Tao Qian was perfunctory about the murder of Cao Cao's parents. When the two sides met, Tao Qian's attitude angered Cao Cao, which made Xuzhou suffer a military disaster.

Tao Qian relied on the towering and strong wall to reverse the black and white, and Cao Cao occupied the city with his powerful and domineering siege weapon, and it was natural for him to thoroughly investigate the truth of his parents' murder. Therefore, in the face of the sufficient reason for Cao Cao to attack the city, Bian Rang and other clans could not fight against Cao Cao. They could only monitor Cao Cao, limiting Cao Cao's anger to a certain extent.

Of course, through on-the-spot viewing, Bian Rang and others did not find the figures of Tao Qian and the general Zhang Hai, the initiators who made Cao Cao angry. After a while, they saw that Zhang Hai's deputy would escort Xia Houyuan to the execution ground. Behind this group of people are two heavy trucks full of belongings escorted by Cao Bing.
