Chapter 247 Cao's army slaughtered Pengcheng Chen Deng guarded the lower mortal

Thank you for your friend Gua for your gift and Tumen Jianglang’s generous reward! Thank you! Thank you very much!

Seeing Cao Cao waved his hand when he understood, Xi Zhicai said politely: "It's just lord! With the hundreds of thousands of stones of food and grass obtained from Pengcheng, the military rations needed by our army should be almost the same. Should we still obey Mr. Wen Ruo's words and there is no need to slaughter again..."

Cao Cao suddenly looked up, staring at Xi Zhicai with a cold look in his little eyes that had squinted.

"Shut up! I miss more than a hundred people from the Cao family. Should Tao Qian be murdered in vain? I will not return to the army if I don't kill Tao Qian in this battle! There is no need to mention this! I have said that I will let him be buried with my Cao family in Xuzhou! No one can stop me!"

That cold tone showed Cao Cao's unchangeable determination. Only then did Xi Zhi realize that if someone dared to persuade him, he would probably end up being a part of his family.

Just as Cao Cao was furious, a guard suddenly rushed in.

When Cao Cao saw someone dared to break into the tent without reporting, he was even more furious. He was about to drag him out and behead him before he could talk.

"What a fucking thing, did Dian Wei lie down and the rules in the army are gone!"

The guard, however, looked anxious and said first: "Sir, something is wrong! The granary in the city was set on fire by the dead soldiers left by Tao Qian! General Cao Ren and his team were trying their best to put out the fire, but the fire was too big, so it was difficult..."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Cao, who jumped out of the back of the table, kicked to the ground.

Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai had no time to pay attention to him anymore. Both the master and servant jumped past him, rushed to the tent, and looked up towards the city. Sure enough, several extremely tall smoke pillars rose in the direction of the city's granary.

"Ah!" Xi Zhicai shouted and suddenly fainted.

He has been trapped by this food problem for a while, and he is almost in a state of turmoil. He stayed in the county town in small places, and the harvest of meat and food with him is only a few thousand stones, which is not enough for the entire army to eat for ten days.

Now I finally heard that there were at least tens of thousands of stones of grain stored in the granary of Pengcheng. I lamented that Xuzhou had abundant food, and finally let out a frown for half a year.

In the past six months, this is the first time that Xi Zhicai's face has become thinner and thinner.

He was a little exhausted and relaxed, but suddenly he was hit so strongly. No matter how strong his spirit was, he could not stand such an urgent matter. Fortunately, Cao Cao around him reacted quickly and supported his body as thin as Guo Jia.

He shouted: "Come here! Come on! Come on! Go and invite the doctor here to rescue the military advisor!"

In an instant, the guards inside and outside the camp were in chaos.

After Xi Zhicai was taken over by the guards, Cao Cao stood up and looked at the increasingly larger and larger smoke pillars in the city.

His face turned pale, but he said to himself with a firm heart.

"Tao Gongzu, you old thief, I originally wanted to slaughter Pengcheng, so I agreed to Wen Ruo's advice and no longer slaughter the city. But you made such a vicious way of cutting off the firewood from the pot. This was what you asked for, but I couldn't blame me!"

Under the escort of Cao Bao, Mi Zhu and others, with the withdrawn army from Pengcheng, and with nearly 100,000 people fleeing their lives, Tao Qian broke through the three blockades of Cao's army under the chaotic impact of lifelessness. He brought 20,000 soldiers back to Xiabi and began his final persistence.

This time, Tao Qian finally began to reuse Chen Deng, a guy who was like a crow-mouthed person. After accepting Chen Deng's suggestion, he sent more than a dozen envoys to complain to the surrounding forces about Cao's atrocities in Xuzhou! He also sought reinforcements from all possible helpers.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

After entering Pengcheng, Cao Cao accidentally saw the note handed over by Chen Deng, who was abandoned by Tao Qian, in front of the threshold of the Prime Minister's Mansion. After all, it was a piece of Sabuki paper that was rare in normal times. How could it not cause Cao Cao, who had always been careful, be curious.

After he and Xi Zhicai watched the above content separately, they were shocked and sweated.

Cao Cao sighed deeply: "Xuzhou is not an incompetent person! It's a pity that Tao Qian has no knowledge of the ability of others and uses the wisdom of others. He is good at using good talents but cannot use them, and he is doomed to be defeated. If Tao Qian could listen to this man's plan and strengthen the defense of the South Gate in advance, he would not say whether the Nancheng could be broken.

At least half of the losses will be more. Dian Wei and Cao Chun, who steal the city, may not only fail to siege the city, but may also die on the spot!"

In the three months after the Battle of Pengcheng, after the army besieged Xiajiucheng, the powerful Cao army attacked in different directions.

When the military and civilians in Xuzhou knew that they would die, they fought with all their might, and both sides paid a heavy price for casualties. The Cao army finally wiped out the counties and counties around Xiabei and turned Xiabei into an isolated city.

When Cao's army captured more than ten counties, including Suiling, Xiaqiu, and below, they all slaughtered the city. Wherever they passed, they reached the point where they all had all chickens and dogs, and there were no more travelers in the towns.

Hundreds of thousands of remaining corpses after being taken from the food were all dumped into the nearby Sishui by Cao's army, hoping to destroy them. However, there were too many corpses, and perhaps the undead were unwilling to leave their hometown where they lived and reproduced.

The Sishui River was blocked by the corpses of countless Xuzhou military and civilians. The river water stained with a large amount of blood seemed to be unable to bear the evil deeds of Cao's army. It was rage and flooded out of the river, almost turning half of the ground in Xiawei County into red clay.

Xiajiu has been the capital of Xuzhou for many years, and is now built three points taller and stronger than Pengcheng.

In addition, Tao Qian, who had been prepared, transported a large amount of weapons, equipment, food, supplies, etc. into the city. The reinforcements gathered from the other counties also entered the Xiabei after they could not reach Pengcheng.

The families of various aristocratic families belonging to Xuzhou were hastily had nowhere to escape, and they could only accept the fate of living and dying with Xiajie City. If they avoided those small counties, they would be afraid that the family would be destroyed faster.

For a time, Xiabei City also became united, with sufficient soldiers and sufficient food, and the morale of lowness rose again.

This time, Tao Qian appointed Chen Deng, who was very sensible and commanding, as the commander-in-chief of the whole city. He himself dragged his old body, who was sick and weak, but he never fell, and retreated to the provincial governor's mansion to pray to his Buddha with peace of mind.

After Chen Deng was appointed, he returned home to discuss with his father for a night. The Chen family finally gave up the idea of ​​surrendering to Cao Cao. At this time, if the increasingly crazy Cao army entered the city, the only thing they could give was a butcher knife, which would only bring disaster to the people.

Then the Chen family will inevitably become a sinner in Xuzhou and be scolded forever. This is something that Chen Gui, who is determined to take the Chen family on a broad road, would never accept. He also began to actively make suggestions for his son's important task of defending the underworld.

He also sent out most of the Chen family's family soldiers to join the army in the battle to defend the city in Xuzhou.

The young Chen Deng first took over the power and showed great enthusiasm. He pulled Cao Bao, Zhou Kui and Mi Zhu and other scholars day and night to inspect the city defense, check for omissions and fill in the gaps, and boost morale.

Be sure to make Xia Zaicheng impeccable.
