Chapter 449 Storm Hair Saving

"Although the military division's strategy is wonderful, all of this is on the premise that the second brother and Cao Mengde can catch up with Ma Teng and Han Sui's soldiers. How dare you grasp the military division? Cao Mengde will cooperate one by one as you expected?

Suddenly, Guan Yu, who was standing on the right, asked Xilong.

"The second general's worries are very reasonable. Long's talent is weak, and he doesn't dare to guarantee everything. Everything is as expected. However, if Cao Mengde wants to be a hegemon rather than a prince, he is bound to win today. With this, Longcai dares to open up the sea and make a plan.

Xilong did not make some words clear, but after thinking about Guan Yu's wisdom for a while, he gradually understood that he undoubtedly nodded and did not speak for the time being.

"So, when do you think I should send troops?"

For Cao Cao, Wen Han and Xi Long have long analyzed it. Not long after Xi Long said his plan, Wen Han has decided to follow his policy.

"We still need to see Cao Mengde when we send troops. Otherwise, the lord will send troops rashly and face Li's troops alone. I'm afraid there will be unnecessary damage.

"Hmm. The words of talent also meet my heart. Now I will prepare the soldiers and horses first. When Yanzhou moves, I will send troops immediately!"

After Wen Han and Xi Long agreed, he immediately began to make a series of arrangements. For the sake of the situation in Chang'an, Wen Han had already transferred soldiers and horses from Bingzhou. At this time, Bingzhou was guarded by 30,000 soldiers led by Gao Shun, assisted by Zhang Wei, Zhong Yu, Han Song and other counselors. Yuan Benchu, who could pose a threat to Bingzhou, did not end the war in Youzhou, so Bingzhou should be fine.

At this time, in Hedong, the number of new recruits and veterans of Wenhan is nearly 70,000, of which the number of new recruits accounts for 40,000, and the number of veterans is 30,000. After nearly a year of training, under the new training process set by Wen Han himself and the grinding of the Five Birds Opera, these recruits are like a sharp blade that has been opened, but they still need to go through blood to become a real killing blade.

Under the order of Wen Han, Guan Yu, Xu Huang and Zhao Yun took orders one after another to prepare to summon the affairs of various ministries. As for Zhou Long and Wang Lang, they are preparing to go to the army and siege equipment and other reserve affairs.

In this way, the whole Hedong began to be busy again. The soldiers and horses of various cities and counties were constantly pulled out, and carts full of armor or grain and grass shuttled through the streets of the cities under the push of a team of Hedong soldiers. The people of Hedong also smelled the smell before the war, and rarely went out of the house.

Hedong is preparing for the chaos in Chang'an, and then look at Cao Cao, who is expected to become a key figure in the situation in Chang'an in the future.

A month ago, Donghai County, Xuzhou.

At this time, Cao Cao still did not receive the good news from Guangling. After sending scouts to inquire again and again, he learned that Chen Deng, the general of Guangling, had defended Guangling under the attack of the 30,000 troops where Cao Ren and Jia Xu were. At that time, Cao Cao heard that he was calm about everything, and he actually showed a stunned look.

Cao Cao knows the ability of Cao Ren and Jia Xu that Chen Deng's ability to guard Guangling under the joint hands of the two is enough to show his amazing ability. Later, Cao Cao learned from the documents sent by Jia Xu that it was Chen Deng who saw through his fake play, and this man was the most powerful rich family in Xuzhou. As early as a few months ago, he united with the rich family in Guangling, dispatched private soldiers from each rich family, and then gave a lot of money to hire the people in the city. He built another barn city outside Huaiyin City in Guangling. At the same time, he dug deep ditches and high barriers, which should make Huaiyin into a solid city.

Waiting for Cao Ren's soldiers and horses, he began to attack Guangling Huaiyin. Under Chen Deng's sufficient defense, it was difficult to take advantage of the attack in the past few days. After several battles, Cao Ren also lost a lot of soldiers and horses. If he couldn't make a strong attack, Cao Ren asked Jia Xu a trick. Jia Xu made two tricks in a row. First, he deliberately let the soldiers pretend that their morale was low, and the camp was lax in defense to attract Chen Deng to attack. However, Chen Deng ignored it, just defended the city, and had no intention of using soldiers and horses to attack the city. Later, Jia Xu tried to dig a tunnel and sneak into Huaiyin City, but Chen Deng seemed to have known that Jia Xu would have this hand. Once Cao Ren's soldiers and horses began to work at night, he sent several light cavalry troops to disturb. When Jia Xu saw that Chen Deng found out, he had to break the idea of digging a tunnel. Chen Deng is extremely cautious and wise. Huaiyin City is well-prepared and difficult to attack. At this point, Cao Renjun and the defenders of Huaiyin reached an impasse.

The name Chen Deng is deeply imprinted in Cao Cao's heart. Cao Cao secretly scolded himself for underesirrespect of the heroes in the world. Originally, he thought that Xuzhou's literature and martial arts were mediocre, but Tao Gongzu was an incompetent and good man. It was not necessary to take Xuzhou. Unexpectedly, just a Chen Yuanlong forced his 100,000 elite soldiers into a dilemma.

Guangling has been unable to attack for a long time, and it is difficult to attack in the East China Sea because of Liu Bei's thorns. Cao Cao thought that the time was getting more and more urgent, and the situation in Chang'an became more and more tense, that is, he had the intention to withdraw his troops. However, he was afraid that he would withdraw his troops at this time and be killed by Liu Bei's soldiers and Xuzhou soldiers. It was just annoyance, so he called Guo Jia to discuss.

Cao Cao and Guo Jia are discussing, and some soldiers came to report that there was a letter of war in Xuzhou. Cao Cao frowned and looked at it. It was Liu Bei's letter.

The letter wrote: "I have to worship you outside the customs, and I don't have to wait for each other the day after tomorrow. I heard that Cao Yanzhou and Tao Xuzhou fought fiercely because of misunderstanding. Cao Yanzhou's soldiers are strong, and Tao Xuzhou is not Cao Yanzhou's opponent. However, after all, Tao Xuzhou was an official of the imperial court and ordered the emperor to guard Xuzhou. If Cao Yanzhou is forced to take it, I'm afraid it's not suitable. I have heard a little about my father, and perhaps many of them are not what Cao Yanzhou thought. Tao Xuzhou has always been benevolent and righteous, but how can it be harmful to his father's heart? I also hope that Cao Yanzhou will be aware of it.

What's more, the remnants of today's yellow scarf are disturbing the outside, and Dong Zhuoyu's party is located inside. Cao Yanzhou has a general and a counselor with twenty soldiers. May Cao Yanzhou have the urgent needs of the court first, and then have a private feud, and withdraw the soldiers from Xuzhou to save the country. Then Xuzhou is very lucky, and the world is very lucky!"

Cao Cao read a book and smiled coldly.

"The big-eared thief is just a plain one, how dare you persuade me with a book! And there is sarcasm in the middle! It's really pretentious. Could it be that he really thinks he is a Miao descendant of the Han Dynasty, and I, Cao Mengde, should respect him three points!"

Guo Jia took the letter from Cao Cao. After reading it for a while, he may have been laughed at by Liu Bei's self-confidence that he didn't know where to come from. Guo Jia smiled for a while and then told Cao Cao again.

"In this way, the lord just sold his personal feelings to Liu Xuande and retreated back to Yanzhou to prepare for Chang'an."

"If so, I'm afraid that Liu Xuande really thinks that I, Cao Mengde, have him!"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and showed a terrible murderous intention in his eyes. However, Guo Jia knew that Cao Cao had a choice in his heart, and what he said was just angry. However, Liu Bei provoked Cao Cao's murderous intention, but it was true.

"In this way, the master is not as good as a book. It is said that it is okay to retreat, but in the two counties of Pengcheng and Xia Pi, we will never return it without finding Cao Taigong in a day. If there is any difference, just kill it and fight back. What does the Lord think?

"Well, the words of filial piety are very suitable for me. In this way, you can teach Liu Xuande not to be arrogant.

In fact, Guo Jia had probably guessed Cao Cao's answer for a long time and smiled flatly. After that, Cao Cao went to the desk, repaired a letter, and then called Liu Bei to send it back to Liu Bei.

After Liu Bei received the letter, he was also a little stunned to see that Cao Cao had agreed to retreat. However, Liu Bei quickly restrained his expression and rushed to the state pastoral government to inform Tao Qian of the matter.

Tao Qian heard that Cao Cao was willing to withdraw his troops, and immediately his pale face was a little better. As for the two counties of Pengcheng and Xia Pi, it was already the meat that fell into the tiger's mouth. It was not so easy to take it back. However, if Cao Cao is willing to retreat, then Xuzhou will have a chance to respite. It is not too late to find an opportunity to recapture Pengcheng and Xia Pi.

Tao Qian hardly thought much, but agreed to Cao Cao's request, and at the same time, he saluted and thanked Liu Bei. Liu Bei saw it in his eyes, his heart was beating wildly, and his body was also boiling blood. As soon as Cao Cao retreated, he could take over Xuzhou from Tao Qian. Moreover, he persuaded Cao Cao to win the admiration of the literary and martial arts in Xuzhou. In this way, after he took over the Xuzhou card seal, as long as he used a little means, he could strengthen his position.

The next day, Cao Cao received a letter sent by Tao Qian. Seeing his promised conditions, he ordered the Xiahou brothers, Cao Hong and Dian Wei's subordinates to start withdrawing and rushing to Yanzhou. At the same time, he sent people to Guangling to send letters, so that Cao Ren, Jia Xu, Yu Jin and other Wenwu withdrew the Guangling army and led the troops to defend Pengcheng and Xia Pi counties.

Let's say that when he returned to Xuzhou, he rushed to the city to see Tao Qian and submitted a note, saying that Cao Bing had retreated. Tao Qian was overjoyed, the tiger retreated, the danger of Xuzhou was solved, and the worries piled up in his heart disappeared. This made Tao Qian seem to have taken the fairy medicine. In an instant, his illness improved a lot. His face was full of red light and he sighed.

"If it hadn't been for Liu Xuande, I'm afraid that the people of Xuzhou would have been ravaged by the war, with heavy casualties, and the head of the old man would not be guaranteed. If you don't repay such a great kindness, how can I show you?

At present, Tao Qian's determination to cede Xuzhou to Liu Bei has become more and more firm. Then he thought of Liu Bei Renyi. He was afraid that it would be difficult to convince with his mouth alone, so he called Mi Zhu. Although Mi Zhu is a follower of Tao Qian, seeing that Tao Qian is old, the management of such a large Xuzhou has gradually become powerless. In particular, although Cao Cao's soldiers have retreated, they are still heavily stationed in Pengcheng and Xia Pi. At this time, Xuzhou is in need of a bold hero to lead. Liu Bei was born in the royal family and has the virtue of carrying things. In the face of Cao Cao's tiger and wolf's division, he can be frank and not afraid of strength. Under his command, there are two fierce generals, Pan and Zhang, who are ten thousand enemies. This person is the hero that Xuzhou needs most now. Therefore, Mi Zhu also agreed that Tao Qian would give up Xuzhou to Liu Bei. After thinking for a while, he made a plan and taught Tao Qian to invite Kong Rong and Chen Deng. Kong Rong was a great sage in the world and highly regarded, while Chen Deng's tongue was sharp. Behind him, Chen's vein was the most powerful rich family in Xuzhou. Together with Tao Qian, they would be able to persuade Liu Bei. Tao Qian also felt reasonable, that is, he obeyed Mi Zhu, so he sent someone to invite Kong Rong and Chen Deng.

A few days later, Kong Rong and Chen Deng rushed to Tan County, Donghai to meet Tao Qian. Tao Qian talked about Liu Bei's merits in detail and explained that he had the intention to give up Xuzhou, hoping that Kong Rong and Chen Deng would persuade Liu Bei with him. Kong Rong has always admired Liu Bei Rende, and remembered that he saved Beihai's kindness, which was to agree. As for Chen Deng, who had been silent and didn't know what he was thinking. When Tao Qian asked him for his opinion, Chen Deng's face restrained and saw that Tao Qian had made up his mind, he first agreed. Seeing the promise of the two, Tao Qian was overjoyed and arranged a banquet for the next person.

At night, Tao Qian held a big banquet on the grounds that Cao Bing retreated, and invited Kong Rong, Liu Bei and a group of large and small literary and martial arts in Xuzhou. After Liu Bei came to the banquet, Tao Qian first told everyone about his credit, and everyone praised him. Liu Beiqian was polite one by one, and when he returned the salute to Chen Deng, Tao Qian specially introduced it. As soon as Liu Bei heard that this was to see through Cao Cao's fake play, and made Cao Ren and Jia Xu helpless. Chen Yuanlong, who was born in Guangling and a rich family in Xuzhou, immediately saw a bright eye and bowed repeatedly to show their respect. Liu Bei gave a big gift to Chen Deng, but Chen Deng only slightly nod his head, as if he didn't like Liu Bei. His attitude made Pan and Zhang, who were beside Liu Bei, show their evil repeatedly. In particular, Zhang Fei grinned at Chen Deng.
