Not one day later, Cao Cao led his army to Anding City.

In Anding County, the governor was brutally killed by Yang Qiu. Yang Qiu proclaimed himself the governor and took up the battle in Anding City.

Yang Qiu, a native of Linjing County, Anding County, was a general of Wei during the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period.

In the 16th year of Jian'an, he joined forces with Han Sui and Ma Chao to rebel against Cao Cao. He participated in the Battle of Tongguan, was defeated in Weinan, surrendered to Cao Cao, and became a famous general in Wei.

Along the way, Cao Cao's army attacked in all directions and recovered the counties and cities in the Anding County area, and military and civil servants took up their posts one after another.

Cao Jun's three standard infantry divisions were each equipped with fifty Qin crossbows, adding up to a total of one hundred and fifty Qin crossbows.

One hundred and fifty Qin crossbows were set up, emitting an icy chill.

"Go and send a soldier to the city gate to persuade you to surrender."

Cao Cao said.

A Xiakou Army soldier held a white flag and slowly walked towards the gate of Anding City.

"Defenders on the city wall, General Yang Qiu, please listen carefully. We, the Xiakou Army, are acting on behalf of Heaven.

Sent out troops to quell the rebellion in Liangzhou, severely cracked down on the rebels, and gave up resistance obediently.

Open the city gates and surrender. This is the best outcome for you. Once you resist to the end and the city is breached, you will die without a burial place."

Xiakou Bing said loudly.

The defenders on the city wall looked at each other.

Discuss quietly.

Standing on the city wall, Yang Qiu was extremely shocked. There were nearly 80,000 soldiers and horses outside the city, relying on the troops in the city to defend the city.

Can't hold on at all.

What to do?

He had killed the prefect. If the Xiakou Army held him accountable, surrendering would be of no use!

They will only become lambs to be slaughtered.

"General Li Qiu, I know you are on the city wall. Don't hesitate. Resistance will be useless.

Think about your family. If the general is stubborn, you and your family will be annihilated. The only way is to surrender to the Xiakou Army.

Only then will you and your family continue to live on. We also know that you killed the prefect. Although you were wrong, it was an act of rebellion.

But since you haven’t done anything harmful to nature, you can be pardoned from your serious crimes.”

Xiakou Bingdao.

Standing on the city wall, Yang Qiu was troubled in his heart!

Consider yourself a magistrate, be free and happy.

Once you surrender, the good days are gone forever.

"The defenders on the city wall, General Yang Qiu, we will give you an hour to think about it. If you exceed the time, our Xiakou Army will launch an attack. If you want to surrender, there will be no chance. Think about it carefully!"

Xiakou Bingdao.

Cao Junzhongjun:

"Fengxiao, do you think persuading surrender will work? Yang Qiu killed the prefect. If Yang Qiu surrenders, do we really want to pardon his crime?"

Cao Cao said.

"Meng De, I heard from my humble position that Yang Qiu killed the prefect. The main reason was that the prefect went too far. He not only plundered the fields in the stable area, but also

He also kept making money in Anding County, causing panic among the people in the city. Even if Yang Qiu doesn't kill him, we in the Xiakou area will still hold him accountable.

Give the people a bright future. Of course, it was wrong for Yang Qiu to kill the prefect privately. If the prefect is guilty, he must be dealt with by the Yamen.

Individuals have no right to punish. These are troubled times, and all kinds of great talents will emerge. As long as they do not violate the principles, it is in the interests of the Xiakou region to absorb and recruit as much as possible."

Guo Jiadao.

Cao Cao nodded.

Lao Cao made a special effort to understand the policies and military regulations in the Xiakou area, and found that they were indeed in line with the current development of the situation.

hehe!

Cao Cao also knew in his heart that Qin Qi attached great importance to talents, and as long as they were talents, they would be reused no matter what aspect.

"It depends on Yang Qiu's choice!"

Cao Cao said.

Since he became the commander of the army and no longer a prince, Lao Cao found it a lot easier. He didn't have to worry about the soldiers eating, not worrying about supplies, and he didn't have to worry about the people. There were other civil servants to follow, and he only had to lead the troops to fight well.

In the past, Lao Cao was not thinking about military issues all day long, but mainly about keeping his soldiers fed.

In this dimension, Lao Cao's ambition has not yet been reflected, and he is still the outstanding man who is loyal to the Han Dynasty.

Lao Cao definitely had the Han Dynasty in his heart. This was true since Lao Cao died and did not ascend to the throne. He only proclaimed himself a king.

You know, at that time, even if Lao Cao proclaimed himself emperor, no one would object and could not object.

The military and political power is in the hands of Lao Cao, who can stop him!

"Following filial piety, Xingbang does not allow me to participate in the Northern Unification War. Is this a taboo against me?"

Cao Cao said.

"Meng De, my lord is not jealous of you, but he doesn't want Meng De to fight Yuan Shao. After all, you and Yuan Shao are childhood friends.

We have grown up together, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to be a good person. Otherwise, don’t transfer your regiment to Liangzhou to fight.

There is Xu Huang Corps next to it. According to the original plan, the recapture of Liangzhou was indeed arranged to be solved by Xu Huang Corps.

For this matter, Xu Huang specially submitted a letter. The Lord promised to let Xu Huang's regiment participate when he sends troops to the north to wipe out the Xianbei people."

Guo Jiadao.

"Fengxiao, in fact, I think too much about rejuvenating the country. This general and Yuan Shao are indeed growing up, but in the face of national interests,

This general will not engage in malpractice for personal gain. My general and Yuan Shao have a small righteousness, and liberating the area south of the Yellow River has a greater righteousness.

In the face of major issues of right and wrong, I know how to distinguish the important from the important, and will not lose the big because of the small."

Cao Cao said.

Guo Jia nodded.

"Meng De, surrendering to the lord is the best choice for you in life. The lord is a hero of the generation. He has quick thinking and unique vision.

He is extremely accurate in judging the general trend, he is also tolerant and has the ability to recognize people. All the elites in the world are in the eyes of the Lord.

Have you seen the map in the Lord’s office? Ever since I saw that map, I feel very small.

The Central Plains region is very small. Only then did we realize that the outside world is really big, and there are still many places we need to conquer.

Following my lord, we will definitely lay down a vast and boundless territory for the Central Plains nation, create a powerful empire, and stand on top of the world."

Guo Jiadao.

Cao Cao was extremely surprised when he saw Guo Jia's intoxicated appearance.

But what?

When Cao Cao saw the world map, he was extremely shocked and once doubted the authenticity of the map.

After all, many countries on the map have never been heard of.

"Mengde, do you know why my lord insisted on establishing a navy and increasing the number of warships and troops every year?

The level of emphasis is higher than that of the army. You must know that the cost of building a warship is not low. Building a five-masted warship will

The money spent is enough to build an infantry division. However, the lord has always insisted on building it. The lord really doesn’t care much about the battlefield in the Central Plains.

All the energy is focused on the conquest of overseas islands. The purpose is to carve out a huge territory for the Central Plains region, so that future generations will not have to worry about insufficient land."

Guo Jiadao.

Um!

"My general has also discovered this problem. When the Xiakou Army goes to war on the grasslands, they will definitely fight to the death. They seem to be very gentle in their approach to the Central Plains."

Cao Cao said.

"I heard that the Huang Zhong Corps has pacified the Nanzhong area and is still advancing toward the southwest, aiming to hit the sea."

Guo Jiadao.

"Fengxiao, let's take the Liangzhou area. Next, are we going to send troops to the Western Regions?"

Cao Cao said.

Um!

"My lord said that the Western Region must be captured, and all the dozens of countries in the Western Region must be turned into areas under the direct jurisdiction of the Central Plains, and they will no longer be tributary countries."

Guo Jiadao.

"Report to General Cao and Military Advisor Guo that a white flag appears on the city wall!"

Send orders to soldiers.

oh!

Cao Cao and Guo Jia looked up and found that there was indeed a white flag on the city wall.

Guchi!

Guchi!

The Anding City Gate is open.??
Chapter completed!
