Chapter 66 Xi Yu: I read a lot, you can’t lie to me
The next morning.
The early winter wind was a bit cold, so Ganmei got up early in the morning and prepared a meal.
The face was a little red from the cold, and even the corners of his eyes showed a hint of fatigue.
Xiyu couldn't bear it.
Knowing that he was going to Xuzhou today, Ganmei worked hard all night to make the cloak, and hurriedly prepared meals for herself early in the morning.
This situation made Xi Yu extremely heart-warming.
"Alang, be careful here, I'll wait for you to come back!"
Slightly hunched over to watch Gan Mei tie up the dark cloak for herself, Xi Yu casually rubbed the other person's hair and nodded with a smile.
"You, you, I don't lack a big cloak, so why bother working all night!"
On the way to withdraw the troops, Zhang Fei couldn't figure out how Cao Cao managed to have rations again!
Thinking of Liu Bei, Cao Cao couldn't help but picture the two sturdy men behind him.
The originally stalemate atmosphere in the entire Xuzhou battlefield changed instantly with the arrival of Cao's army's supplies.
Anyway, if Cao Cao makes a good decision on his subordinates, he will be compared to the heroes of the early Han Dynasty.
Yuan Shu in the south occupied Huainan and now occupied Yangzhou, and his eyes fell on Jingzhou again.
After learning the news that Liu Bei had withdrawn his troops immediately, Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh.
When I first heard that Brother Meng De had launched an army to conquer Xuzhou, Bei knew that this was an act of hatred against his father and did not want to get involved.
The reserve received a letter from Tao Shijun. The letter was sincere and deeply regretful. After thinking about it for a long time, he rushed to Xuzhou.
Cao Cao was still very optimistic about Liu Bei.
"Following the righteousness, your strategy will enable our army to conquer Xuzhou like an arm!"
This scene looks like Qin lost its deer, and the whole world chased it away.
Cao Cao more or less understood the meaning of Liu Bei's letter this time.
The Battle of Xuzhou, in general, is very stable.
After thinking about it, Liu Bei took the initiative to write a letter and gave it to the envoy to send to Cao Jun's town.
"Otherwise, just listen to my siege!"
However, three days have passed, and Cao Jun has not left camp at all!
Naturally, Tao Qian couldn't bear this situation.
They were only responsible for transporting grain, but Xi Yu went to Juancheng with the intention of saying hello to Cao Cao after transporting the grain.
Although Cao Cao was smiling, it was not a mockery. There was a bit of recognition in his laughter.
No one among the princes in the world today wants to be the next Liu Bang.
Xia Houyuan was a little helpless. At present, Cao's army had not yet arrived. The battle with Xuzhou soldiers was indistinguishable. The morale of the army was poor, and there was nothing he could do.
Inside the tent, flames were stirring.
What surprised Cao Cao was.
However, comparing Xiao He’s words, if Xi Yu remembers correctly, Cao Cao must have said these words to Zhong Yao!
Why did it come to me?
However, this evaluation is considered extremely high.
When Tao Qian ordered Zangba and Sun Guan to go out, Liu Bei and Tian Kai, who were in Tancheng, also faced Cao Cao's main force.
If I remember correctly, Boss Cao has a way of praising people, such as my wife, my Xiao He, and my Chen Ping.
"Brother, you are too praised!" Xi Yu smiled modestly.
When Xi Yu was escorting the grain and fodder, Cao Cao, who was in Xuzhou, was already looking forward to Xi Yu's presence.
As expected, Liu Bei came to conquer Xuzhou this time.
Cao Cao garrisoned inside the city, while Liu Bei led his troops and garrisoned ten miles outside Linyi City.
Obviously the food routes to Cao's army's rear have been blocked. Could it be that his army's food was transported from the sky?
Zhang Fei couldn't figure it out, and neither could Liu Bei.
Nowadays, Qin has become Han.
Cao Cao casually handed Liu Bei's letter to Xi Zhicai beside him, and Cao Cao curled his lips.
Liu Bei first described his friendship with Cao Cao in his letter and had no opinion on Xi Zhicai.
Although the mountain road between Yanzhou and Xuzhou is a bit rugged, it is not as steep as the Sichuan Mountain Road, so there is no problem in riding a unicycle.
At this moment, the other party obviously wants to persuade Cao Cao to stop his troops.
"Cao Cao's move is quite surprising. He came to report that Yanzhou's food road is still cut off. Cao Cao's army must be short of food now, but!"
But, can Cao Cao stop his troops?
Judging from Cao Cao's tone, he seemed to be very familiar with Liu Bei.
Cao Cao did not hesitate and threw the letter Liu Bei gave him into the stove in front of him.
Liu Bei couldn't understand the changes in Cao Cao's army. What made him even more confused was that someone like Cao Cao actually allowed the army to attack the people of Xuzhou without committing any crime.
The princes from various places conquered and annexed each other. This is the reason why they understand it.
After reading Liu Bei's letter, Cao Cao's expression did not change at all.
But the eyes of the people are bright, and they distinguish between good and bad!
Just a policy of dividing the fields has greatly changed the people of Xuzhou's view of Cao Jun!
And this is Xiyu’s strategy!
And in this case, most people will still find it extremely useful.
Xiao He?
However, this kung fu drama did not dampen Dian Wei's interest.
They are worthy of being lifelong rivals. After fighting each other for a lifetime, these two people have actually become familiar with each other from this time on.
At this time, Dian Wei was holding the horse outside.
Brother, Liu Xuande.]
After looking at Cao Cao, Xi Zhi asked casually.
In short, since this guy wants to carry a weapon, let him do it.
"What letter to reply to?"
Because the news of the army's lack of food and fodder was spread by the Xuzhou Army, the people in the towns he captured have now learned of this news.
It was so easy to attack the city there, but as far as he knew, Zangba and Sunguan did not attack the city.
At the same time, Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan also received the grain and grass delivered later.
Cao Cao was not polite at all and looked extremely serious.
Inside Liu Jun's tent, Liu Bei was in the first place, with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei sitting on the left and right respectively.
???
Yuan Shao in the north wanted to annex Youzhou. Inside Youzhou, Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu also wanted to decide the winner.
I learned that Cao Jun’s army supplies had arrived.
Before, he could compete with Cao Cao who had no rations, but now that he knew that Cao Cao's army had no rations, he immediately understood that he had no chance of winning against Cao Cao again.
At that time, Brother Meng De captured several towns, and everyone in the world heard about his filial piety. He also heard that Brother Meng De and the people of Xuzhou did not commit any crimes in Qiu, and he was even more admired.
Xi Yu, who had just arrived beside him, became somewhat interested when he heard Boss Cao talking about Liu Bei.
Although Zang Ba had military power, his soldiers were still no match for Xia Houyuan's soldiers. Now that Xia Houyuan was defending the city, it was not that easy for him to attack the city.
Cao Cao was even more emotional.
What is the relationship between Cao Cao and Liu Bei? After all, they are both feudal lords.
If they all think about the big man, then why would they bother to conquer each other?
Why did the Emperor of Han end up like this again?
"What kind of wheelbarrow is this? This is the first time Cao has seen it. Fengyi, you are the first to contribute to the conquest of Xuzhou!"
There was no electricity in this era, and the oil lamps at night were slightly dim. Ganmei was determined to finish the cloak, and Xi Yu naturally knew that this was what the other party wanted.
The soldiers and horses on both sides were in a stalemate with each other.
"Zhicai, what do you think?"
Even Yuan Shao was not noticed by him, but Liu Bei was different.
Cao Cao ignored Liu Bei's letter and didn't even reply.
When I learned that the old lady Cao was in danger, I was heartbroken. Later I learned that the old lady was fine, and I was able to sleep peacefully.
There was no one in Xuzhou who could stop Cao Cao.
Zhang Fei muttered as he opened his mouth, then raised his brows.
It has been several years since I left Hulao Pass. I am very happy to learn that Brother Meng De has entered Yanzhou!
…
At the same time, Xuzhou City.
It seems that they have learned the news that Cao's army is short of food, and the movements in Xuzhou in recent days are quite obvious.
For Liu Bei, Cao Cao knew that the army was in short supply but showed no signs of retreating. This behavior was really confusing to him.
The dark Jueying hooves were still rubbing against the ground. Three weapons were tied behind Dian Wei, two dark black halberds, and a golden tiger-headed gun.
Zhang Fei was making some noises, but Liu Bei beside him just smiled at him.
Doesn’t Liu Bei know the truth?
Now that he has pacified Yanzhou, if he wants to continue to grow, the best way is to conquer Xuzhou.
"Let me ask him what Cao Cao thinks!"
What is this guy doing with a weapon?
Cao Ren on the other side directly defended the city without giving any orders to fight, and only waited for the arrival of food and grass from the rear.
After learning that Cao's army was short of food and grass, Tao Qian advocated preparing to conquer the lost territory.
"In this world, you are the first one who can transport food on mountain roads, Fengyi!"
If Xuzhou retreats like this, wouldn't it mean that these places will no longer be Xuzhou's territory?
Taking advantage of Cao's army being short of food, Tao Qian ordered Sun Guan and Zangba to attack Cao's army.
Dian Wei not only brought his own double halberds, he also brought a tiger-headed golden spear, which left Xi Yu speechless.
I'm afraid the eldest brother can't bear to attack the city directly.
Xiao He was the first prime minister of the Han Dynasty.
Without saying anything more, Xi Yu whispered instructions and then led Dian Wei out of the house.
Opening the letter in front of me, Liu Bei's letter immediately came into view.
It was also at that time that Cao Cao became passionate about his peerless generals.
Seeing Cao Cao looking directly at herself, Xi Yu felt helpless.
The town in front of us, even though it is now occupied by Cao Cao, is still essentially a town in Xuzhou.
This was a bit unlike the Cao Cao he knew.
Liu Bei's words were fair, but his sending troops this time was not as simple as avenging his father.
I have never seen the army forcibly confiscate food and grass from the people, but nowhere have I seen the people send food to the army on their own.
But the news that Cao Jun has food is indeed true.
He originally thought that after waiting for a few days, Cao Jun would naturally retreat on his own initiative.
Cao Cao didn't care about the other party's friendship with his peers, he already thought highly of Liu Bei.
[Brother Meng De, seeing a letter is like meeting in person.
Although there were only a few people who sent food, this move seemed like a light falling on Cao Cao's heart.
Even Liu Bei is not considered a prince now.
What's even more surprising is that some people naturally gave their own grain and grass to Cao's soldiers.
"But I heard that there was no news that Cao Cao's army had confiscated food in the city occupied by Cao Cao's army. What did Cao Cao think?"
There were only three days left with the rations that the entire Cao camp could sustain, and Cao Cao sat firmly in his military tent.
It’s just that none of the princes from all over the world are taking the lead!
After all, the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty are too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but so what?
At the beginning, Liu Bangneng, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, competed with other heroes and established the glorious Han Dynasty.
Now the world is in chaos, and the princes from all over the world are attacking each other.
Within Linyi Government Office.
"Did Liu Bei write to me?"
Liu Bei thought that Cao Cao would retreat soon. Who knew, at this time, Tan Ma came to report that Cao Cao's army's rations had arrived!
According to the prescribed time, Xi Yu used a wheelbarrow to successfully deliver the grain and grass to Cao Jun's camp.
The latter took the letter, glanced at it, and smiled softly.
"Lord, do you want to reply?"
Liu Bei on the other side was not worried at all.
This time Liu Bei was invited to help Tao Qian, and Cao Cao naturally received the news. None of the princes in the world came to help Tao Qian this time.
"It's nothing more than persuading the lord to withdraw his troops. Tadashi has no opinion!"
There were no large armies to transport food along the mountain road, and there weren't many problems on the road. It originally took five days to transport food via land, but if we took the mountain road, it would take about the same amount of time.
Once a siege begins, it is not easy to end.
And this also made Cao Cao pay more attention to Liu Bei.
"How about I go out and call for formation?"
"Fengyi, you really came on time!"
After setting off from Juancheng, Xi Yu took Dian Wei along the mountain road. In less than half a day, the two of them caught up with the convoy transporting food.
The continuous arrival of grain and grass made Cao's army's momentum increase crazily.
This is really surprising.
Three days have passed since I received the letter from Juancheng.
"Okay, I've stayed up all night, let's go and have a rest!"
Mencius once said that the people are the most valuable, the country is the second most important, and the king is the most important!
Only now did Cao Cao somewhat understand that ordinary people are the foundation of this world.
"Then Liu Xuande is really a talent, he can run really fast!"
Guan Yu didn't say anything. In his opinion, it was the right choice for Cao Cao to stay stationed.
Then the Tibetan tyrants fought in Xiahouyuan in the wild. There was no winner in the battle, so they both stopped fighting!
Over the years, he has known somewhat about Liu Bei's trajectory. Although he is not as good as him, he is one of the few in the world who can catch his eye.
This letter is to persuade Brother Meng De to make peace with Tao Shijun...
In today's Han Dynasty, princes from all over the country are scrambling to increase their strength.
Within a short time, Liu Bei's letter was already on Cao Cao's desk.
However, my eldest brother Renyi, the people in Linyi City are still the people of Xuzhou after all.
Cao Cao frowned slightly when he learned that it was a letter from Liu Bei.
Like the Tibetan tyrants, Sun Guan and others, this time they learned a lesson from Cao Jun.
When the latter heard this, he reached for the letter and looked at it again, with some disdain on his lips.
Liu Bei immediately led his army and Tian Kai back to Juntan City.
This massive conquest of Xuzhou couldn't be that simple.
In order to rush the work, Xi Yu could clearly see that Gan Mei had a few more needle holes in her hands.
He had already received a letter from Xun Yu, saying that Xi Yu was taking the transport team along the mountain road and that the army rations were already on the way.
Cao Cao laughed.
Seeing Xi Yu in front of him, Cao Cao eagerly took the other party's hand. After the two entered the main hall, Cao Cao felt quite emotional.
At this moment, the two armies were waiting and watching, but Liu Bei was not in a hurry to attack the city.
My spies have been sent out to find out the news a long time ago, but there is no news yet.
If he fell into a protracted war, he might mutiny, so he had no choice but to retreat to the town and not leave the city.
Xuzhou's army, which was originally somewhat avoiding battle, suddenly changed its demeanor, and Xuzhou's scouting horses could be seen outside the city all the time.
Later, Lü Bu occupied Hulao Pass like a god, and none of the generals could compete with him.
After learning such news, the entire Cao camp was a little surprised.
Seeing Dian Wei fully armed, Xi Yu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Today, Cao Cao seems to have regarded Dongguan County and half of Donghai County as his own territory.
The emperor, who was in Sili position, had lost power.
Although the Three Heroes' Battle with Lu Bu is famous all over the world, the one who is more famous among them is Lu Bu.
After receiving the provisions, Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan led the army to fight again. Cao's army regained its momentum and won a great victory. They went directly to the wild and defeated Zangba and Sun Guan.
The only one who came was Liu Bei.
He has great trust in Xi Yu.
"Brother, there's nothing wrong with that. Who knows what Cao Cao is thinking? I don't know what bad ideas that guy is harboring!"
All the signs of this expedition to Xuzhou are related to Xi Yu!
"Brother, why do you look at me like this?"
When Tao Qian joined forces with Yuan Shu to attack Yanzhou, why did Liu Bei not mention it at all?
Cao Cao looked at the reports of the towns captured in the past two days and felt a little distracted.
When the eighteen princes attacked Dong, Guan Yu warmed the wine and killed Hua Xiong, which made Cao Cao's heart extremely hot.
"Cao Cao is so stupid, he has military rations again!"
cannot!
This time can’t be too far away!
Zhang Fei was already a little helpless. He originally thought that the war would start once the war started here, but who knew that Cao Cao, who was originally deep in the offensive, could not defend himself.
But on the third day, the sounds were much less frequent.
"No need to send me away!"
"This change in our army makes me even more happy. You are really my Xiao He!"
Fortunately, he retreated in time, but the other two groups, Zang Ba and Sun Guan, had already suffered a heavy defeat.
Two days ago, these people were worried about whether Cao's army would confiscate grain and grass.
Liu Bei can recognize his strength so quickly, which is not something ordinary people can do.
Such a situation is too rare.
When Xi Yu heard Cao Cao praising him so much, the corner of Xi Yu's mouth twitched inadvertently.
"Brother, how can we fight against that bird Cao Cao who is huddled in the city like a turtle?"
Just transport some food and it will be your first success!
Dian Wei beside him was a little dumbfounded, Mr., this is his first success?
Aren't they not at war yet?
The first step is so simple!
In the main hall, after Cao Cao finished speaking, Yu Jin and others beside him also agreed with him very much.
If the army supplies do not arrive this time, I am afraid that Cao Jun will have no choice but to retreat.
What's more, it was precisely because of the gentle policy that Xi Yu had specified before that the expedition against Xuzhou went so smoothly.
In addition, when it comes to transporting military rations, everyone naturally has no objection to the other party's contribution.
