Grassroots Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 406 Cao Cao Captures Runan City

Since Jia Xu followed Cao Cao and got along with him day and night, Jia Xu found that Cao Cao was not as happy and angry as before. At this time, Cao Cao was easily moved by some small things, and his mood fluctuated greatly! Cao Cao may think that this is a light weightlifting, but as a bystander, Jia Xu knows that Cao Cao has begun to be proud and complaxed, and he is no longer dealing with all things like walking on thin ice. In this way, Cao Cao will fall sooner or later!

However, Jia Xu could not and did not dare to point out Cao Cao's development trend in person. He could only remind Cao Cao from the side. After Cao Cao tried to calm down his jealousy, he pretended to be calm and said, "Liu Xuande, he is really a character! In the past, I valued him very much, but he did not agree with me. He would rather be with Yuan Shao and Lv Bu! Now, I will not only take Jingzhou, but also surround and suppress Liu Bei's army in one step, and capture Liu Bei alive!"

Jia Xu heard the words and nodded silently. Because of Liu Bei's unusual behavior, he came into Cao Cao's sight. Of course, Jia Xu knew that it was as difficult to eliminate Liu Bei at this time. At this time, Liu Bei's wings were gradually plump! Unfortunately, pride covered Cao Cao's eyes, which made him unable to recognize the reality!

Therefore, Cao Cao opened the door of Jingzhou and occupied Runan City without losing a single soldier. At this time, the whole Jingzhou was like a beautiful woman who was pushed down, lying in front of Cao Cao.

"Jia Jijiu, I heard that Liu Biao has a lady named Fan Shi. She has good beauty and talent..." Cao Cao's body was lying in the soft couch, and he remembered the woman.

Jia Xu said with a smile, "King of Wei, at this time, as long as you write a piece of paper, won't the Fan family come to the king of Wei obediently?!"

Jia Xu himself likes this, but he never messed up with Cao Cao, even if Cao Cao invited him many times. Jia Xu not only kept a close distance from Cao Cao, but also with other dignitaries.

"Well, Fan is indeed a very realistic person... Realistic people are easy to communicate! Ha ha!", Cao Cao ** - stupid, beautiful as a spring breeze bathing his body and mind. " Oh, by the way, Jia Jijiu, where is this outstanding talent at this time, Cui Dan you introduced earlier?

"Try back to the king of Wei, Cui Dan is still a document in the government office of Jingzhou!" Jia Xu answered truthfully. Cui Dan, whose talent and temperament are similar to that of Chen Qun. The two are one kind of people: strict with themselves and lenient to others; impartial law enforcement, selfless, thrifty life, and often helping others... Jia Xu used to do business in Jingzhou and was also funded by Cui Dan. Therefore, when Cao Cao led the army to attack Jingzhou, Jia Xu specially recommended Cui Dan to Cao Cao.

Although Cao Cao is full of ambition and vigor, he still clearly realizes that with the expansion of the territory, there is an extreme shortage of people around him. Of course, he can't see that due to the expansion of the chassis, his actual strength has declined! Other counselors Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Xun You and others clearly saw this. They did not break this layer of paper, but took several jobs and doubled their efforts in obscurity to help Cao Cao make up for this deficit... That's really reached the hard work of "women as men and men as animals".

After Cao Cao stretched out on the soft couch, the four maids came forward to massage Cao Cao's shoulders and legs. Then, in a relaxed and casual atmosphere, Cao Cao and Jia Xu talked happily.

The news of the loss of Runan City was learned by the senior management of Jingzhou the next day. Liu Brown, who just became the state pastor, was stunned when he encountered such a crisis there. Fortunately, with Fan's presence, the meeting held by the senior management in Jingzhou continued.

Only the state official who participated in the meeting proposed by the state official, gather all the troops in Jingzhou and recapture Runan City! Kui Yue's suggestion seemed to be brave and bold. In fact, others could see what he was thinking at a glance: it was he who revealed to Zhang Kai himself the news that Cao was going to arrest Zhang Kai. If Cao Cao successfully took Jingzhou, Cao would definitely punish him. His parents' revenge would not be arrogant!

Kau Yue just wanted to kidnap others through the war, and then he faced Cao Cao with the mentality of "the law does not blame the public": Anyway, everyone has opposed you. Your wise and magical Cao Cao can't punish me alone!

However, in the face of Kuai Yue's proposal, his sworn brother Zhang Mao immediately retorted, "Kai is engaged, please recognize the reality: according to the assembly of all the troops in Jingzhou, we can't capture Runan City. It is a big problem whether we can resist the fierce attack of Cao's army with the help of military fortresses..."

When he heard his brother Zhang Ma retort himself in public, he suddenly felt unhappy. Zhang Mo saw Kuai Yue with an aggrieved face, and looked at Fan Shi, who was kneeling on the main seat, and said angrily, "I didn't expect that Liu Xuande violated military discipline. In the face of a strong enemy, he abandoned the city and left by himself... Liu Xuande is really a complete white-eyed wolf! ..."

Zhang Yu's scolding immediately aroused most of the resonance, and others began to bite their teeth and scold Liu Bei. When everyone's fear was almost dissipated in anger, the elegant Fan began to open his mouth and say, "Gentlemen, due to Liu Xuande's inaction, we can't concentrate our superior forces to stop Cao's attack... Now, whether it is war or surrender, please raise your hands to decide! Well, please raise your hand if you agree to surrender!"

Fan's expression is calm, his words are short, and he grasps the key point of the problem! The reason why Fan Shi is calm is that she has something to rely on, which can only be said. If other princes attacked Jingzhou, the Fan family would definitely be afraid, but when Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou, the Fan family smiled in his heart: Finally, there is a chance to climb a big tree!

At Fan's suggestion, everyone raised their hands slowly. In the end, only a few people did not raise their hands. These people include Cui Yue and Cui Dan.

"Well, since you have agreed to surrender to Cao Cao, we orphans and widows can only follow your wishes..." Fan pretended to be aggrieved and tears rolled in his eyes. Finally, at the guidance of Fan, his son Liu Tan wrote a letter of surrender in public.

When Liu Brown stamped the seal heavily, his tears suddenly came out of his eyes. Even if they surrender to Cao Cao, who knows what Cao Cao will do with them? At this time, the young Liu Brown finally felt: What is desolation... What is despair?

But in the face of Cao Cao's destruction and overwhelming attack, the battle is death. If you don't fight, you have a chance to live. Fighting for the dignity of the royal family and for honor, Liu Brown doesn't have this awareness. Where do you think is fun and what is the most beautiful? Liu Tancai is interested in it from the bottom of his heart.

Such a thing, it is unscrupulous to be the head of a state in troubled times. It's really looking for death no matter where it is. If Liu Pan had become the head of Jingzhou at the beginning, with Liu Pan's charm and talent, he could at least let his royal family occupy Jingzhou for decades. At the same time, Liu Bei would have no more time to stand out for it. However, there is no if in reality, and in the pace of historical prospects, there is no if! In this historical process, it is the extraordinary strong who are destined to survive. It can't be a wine bag like Liu Brown, even if he can do the cheap thing of sucking-colonization every day...

If there is no civil strife in Jingzhou, Cao Cao will not seek Jingzhou in advance. Seize the opportunity, thunder strike, good fighter, move on the nine heavens, Cao Cao did this perfectly!

After Cao Cao occupied Runan City, he did not commit any crime with the residents of the city. After 30,000 troops entered the city, they guarded the four gates respectively. Cao Cao's pro-people behavior immediately won the favor of the local people. So much so that when Cao Cao gathered the local dignitaries, the old dignitaries who were nearly 70 years old actively participated.

Facing more than 20 powerful people, Cao Cao Cao said frankly, "Gentlemen, I will make a covenant with you three chapters: I will not levy a grain of grain from you, nor will I levy taxes on you... Of course, if someone intends to cheat on me, then he will bear the consequences! ..."

In the face of Cao Cao's kindness and power, everyone was completely convinced and did not complain. Later, Cao Cao asked in a debulous tone, "Gentlemen, many generals under my command have followed me to fight hundreds of battles in the south all year round, so that I have no time to solve all the major events in my life. If there are extra maids or relatives in your house, please take the initiative to contact Jia Jijiu... Well, if your relatives are married to the generals under the king, then I will not treat you badly..."

In the face of Cao Cao's request, most of the dignitaries can accept it with peace of mind: Cao Cao did this, still understand things and act according to the rules. If other princes had this idea, they would not have made a statement to them at all, and directly send troops to burn, kill and loot...

Runan City is different from other cities: when the Yellow Turban Army did not rebel, the clans and ordinary people in this city were stripped by officials. When Liu Pi, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, led 100,000 Yellow Turban Army to repel the officers and soldiers who defended the city, after occupying the city, there was no slaughter or burning, killing and looting. Instead, they fought with the soldiers and civilians of the city. Later, Liu Biao, the royal relative, came to Jingzhou. At this time, the general trend of the Yellow Turban Army had gone, and Liu Pi took the initiative to turn to Liu Biao and accept the title of Liu Biao. Later, Zhang Fei led the army to attack the city. Liu Pi, the general defending the city, did not fight and gave up the city to Zhang Fei.

In this way, although Runan City has gone through several battles and has not suffered the disaster of life, this city has been blessed by misfortune and lives a prosperous and stable life. What a quiet night boat in the turbulent waves.

This time, Cao Cao, the new owner of the city, still treats Runan City with the "Huairou Policy". In a state of gratitude, Cao Cao announced the end of the discussion. After everyone left one after another, Cao Cao Cao asked Xun You, who was responsible for spying on the news, "Xun is engaged. Has there no news from Liu Bei's side so far?"

"Return to the king of Wei, Liu Bei's side has also sent hundreds of scouts to the south of the city to explore Liu Bei's whereabouts since the city retreated overnight. So far, no scouts have returned to report..." Xun You responded worriedly. Xun You knew that since Cao Cao learned that Liu Bei was assisted by a super counselor, Cao Cao raised his intention to eliminate Liu Bei to the same height as occupying Jingzhou. If you don't take the opportunity to eliminate Liu Bei at this time, there will be endless troubles in the future.
