Cao Cao also showed the letter and watched it alone according to Cheng Yu's instructions. However, with Cao Cao's heroic figure who was not surprised, he only read half of the letter. Cao Cao laughed and fell off his horse and fainted. However, even if Cao Cao fainted, Cao Cao still wrote the letter tightly, making others unable to watch it. Cao Cao's abnormality frightened Cao Cao's subordinates and quickly helped Cao Cao up. Although they were all wondering what was written in the letter, it made Cao Cao look like this. But they were all shocked by Cheng Yu's request, and did not dare to open Cao Cao's hand and watch the letter privately.

Moreover, these generals looked at Cao Cao's appearance and were worried about Cao Cao's safety and had no intention of fighting. They immediately sent a command to Mingjin. At this time, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, who were preparing to encircle on the left and right wings, did not know what happened to the middle army. They actually stopped. They had to stop the formation and sent people to Cao Cao, the middle army, to ask what was going on. Is this the so-called will of heaven to destroy Cao Cao. Cao Cao's only great opportunity to defeat Xuzhou. It was gone. Tao Qian and others safely guarded Xuzhou City.

The last chance to defeat Tao Qian easily and seize Xuzhou disappeared inadvertently. Cao Cao's army, who was in a desperate situation, seemed to have no hope! The direction of the situation can be said to be driving Cao Cao to the dead end. But what about Cao Cao? Cao Cao broke out! Just as Liu Bin was worried, when facing adversity, Cao Cao, who repeatedly broke out in small universes in history, broke out his own small universe without warning this time! The matter is human. The peerless strong man is facing absolute sleep

In the realm, there are also extraordinary measures to deal with it. Although all superficial phenomena indicate that Cao Cao should perish, things are unpredictable. If there were so many things in the world, Mao Taizu would not have led tens of thousands of Eighth Route Army to defeat the Japanese army, nor would he lead the People's Liberation Army, which was equipped with local equipment, to defeat the veteran's millions of American equipment! The land of China, which has been passed down for thousands of years in history, will not have been repeatedly invaded by some satisfactory! There is no such thing in history. If it is, only what it is!

When the country and others unanimously agreed that Cao Cao was about to be finished and the opportunity for Youzhou came, the intelligence personnel of the Youzhou Military Intelligence Bureau in Xuzhou sent a message beyond everyone's expectations through a flying pigeon. Cao Cao had conquered Xuzhou and was raising military rations to prepare to counterattack Yanzhou. It turned out that after Cao Cao woke up, he carefully read Cheng Yu's secret letter. The letter contained Cheng Yu's analysis of the current situation in Yanzhou. In addition to the current serious situation, Cheng Yu also said that

It is clear that Cao Cao's subsequent food and grass will not be delivered. Moreover, Cao Cao's key areas returned to the army were occupied by Liu Bei, Chen Gong and others. In a hurry, it would definitely not be able to be defeated. However, Xu Youyou had just collected autumn grain. The city defense was also quite solid. Cheng Yu still had 50,000 troops to defend Xu Du. Cheng Yu guaranteed Cao Cao in the letter and could hold on to Xu Du for two months without any loss. Then there were two suggestions from Cheng Yu for Cao Cao's face such a serious situation.

Cao Cao was frightened by the severity of the situation, was resentful of Chen Gong's betrayal, was pleased by Cheng Yu's loyalty, was happy that Xu Du could hold on for two months, and hesitated for Cheng Yu's two cruel and moral principles that would be cursed by the world. However, Cao Cao was Cao Cao. At such a critical moment, Cao Cao's domineering aura of "I would rather let the world down than let the world down" was suddenly turned out. He decided to act according to the plan. First of all, Cao Cao did not inform anyone of the news that most of Yanzhou's territory had been lost. But if nothing

The statement of the matter: The letter from Yanzhou was to inform Cao Cao that he had his father Cao Song, who was so sad that his family suffered misfortune, worried too much, and became critically ill. The reason why Cao Cao fainted was because he was worried about his father's health. Secondly, Cao Cao announced to everyone that since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved at the same time. As today's turmoil, the emperor's majesty needs to be established. Cao Cao was highly favored by the emperor and as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, he could only set an example, give up filial piety, and be loyal and righteous. Therefore, the soldiers of the three armies should step up to conquer Xuzhou so that Cao Cao could return to Xudu as soon as possible and work hard.

Afterwards, Cao Cao followed the basic strategy of conquering Xuzhou as soon as possible and ordered all generals to persuade them to surrender whenever they attacked various rural towns in Xuzhou. Those who surrendered were not guilty. However, if any resistance, they would slaughter the towns and destroy the city. After Cao Cao and other generals took the order, they secretly summoned hundreds of confidant children of their clans to establish military camps. These people secretly used human flesh to make military rations to maintain the supply of various armies. At the same time, Cao Cao also strictly forbidden them to reveal the news. Violators would be killed without mercy! Finally, Cao Cao secretly called Man Chong and secretly told Man Chong to another plan of Cheng Yu to secretly. After Man Chong was stunned, he also took it.

His life was gone. As a result, Cao Cao's army, which had been mobilized by the war, erupted with amazing destructive power. The rural towns and counties of Xuzhou, but those who resisted were slaughtered. All the surrendered villages were safe and sound. Moreover, Cao Cao also let the surrendered villages show up and say things. Therefore, all the villages without defense were surrendered, and the counties with few troops were also surrendered. The four armies of Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and Cao Hong, under Cao Cao, dispersed like locusts and advanced. Even the troops led by Yu Jin cooperated with Cao Cao to start besieging Xuzhou City where Tao Qian was.

Finally, within two days, there was an isolated city guarded by Tao Qian, led a large number of troops to guard. At this time, Cao Cao's military rations had already gathered a large part of them after being sieged and suppressed in various villages. Moreover, when Cao Cao's army was besieged and attacked Xuzhou City, Cao Cao first said to Tao Qian and others in the city: "At this time, surrender, and if he does not surrender, the day the city will be destroyed, all the people in the city will be slaughtered. And all the property of the people in the city will be confiscated." Then, Cao Cao ordered the common people and villagers in the villages around Xuzhou City to be the vanguards, and the army followed him to attack. Tao Qian, Chen Deng, Cao Bao and others in Xuzhou City finally collapsed.

Tao Qian couldn't bear to cause such a big killing in his twilight years. Chen Deng, Cao Bao and others were for the benefit of the family. Now, the entire Xuzhou has fallen into Cao Cao's hands except this city. Even if he and others finally insisted on sending troops to Youzhou and successfully forced Cao Cao to retreat. However, while Cao Cao was resentful and retreated, he would definitely plunder and burn all the empty Xuzhou. What's the value? Isn't the foundation of his family completely destroyed? Moreover, Xuzhou was rebuilt afterwards, with Mi Zhu's rights in Youzhou and Mi Zhu's local strength in Xuzhou, the Mi family would not have to swallow Xuzhou. This is too in line with the interests of his family. It would be better to vote for Cao Cao and seek greater benefits by compromising Cao Cao.

Therefore, within three days, Xuzhou changed its ownership.

Guo Jia and others who were staying in Youzhou were shocked when they saw this information. However, Guo Jia responded quickly. Guo Jia laughed and said, "I didn't expect that Cao Cao was in danger. Cao Cao was in a dangerous situation and had the courage to burn his boats. He also made him lucky to succeed. It can be said that God helped him help himself. However, this is good. In this way, Liu Bei and Cao *** were evenly matched. When they killed both sides, we happened to recover the three states of Sili, Yanzhou and Xuzhou in one fell swoop." Jia Xu also agreed with Guo Jiadi, believing that although Cao Cao's actions were a bit beyond his expectations, they were not damaged by the layout of his and others. Instead, they had the benefit of adding icing on the cake. Therefore, they ordered the army of Youzhou to remain unmoved and wait for Cao Cao and Liu Bei to decide the outcome and take action!

At this time, Liu Bei did not know that Cao Cao had already obtained Xuzhou and was still intensifying his siege to Xudu in order to obtain the title of the emperor's righteousness and gain more support from the people of the world.

Chen Gong was stepping up defenses to prevent Cao Cao's dying struggle after he withdrew from the Xuzhou battlefield. In short, they did not expect that Cao Cao would have the possibility of victory. After all, the amount of military rations Cao Cao brought with him was in Chen Gong and the others' minds. Cao Cao's combat plan to attack Xuzhou was prepared according to two months of combat time. Cao Cao's military rations also needed to be continuously supplied one after another. Now the subsequent food was detained. With the little military rations Cao Cao's military was enough to support him for a few days? How could a hungry soldier win a battle? Liu Bei and others, who were happy with victory, even planned how to make the emperor issue an edict to order Liu Bin to attack other princes in the world after conquering Xu Du, so that the continuous wars would completely drag down the strength of Youzhou. And they took the opportunity to grow and grow.

This is a game of chess. A game of chaotic chess. A game of chess played in the pocket. But some players can make a few holes in the pocket, which makes them more clear, while some players can only sink into it. However, who can win the final victory in the end? It is still a matter of how powerful their chess players are. Now, due to Liu Bin's deliberate efforts, Youzhou has quick communication methods and a complete intelligence network. It is undoubtedly a little more familiar with the development of the overall situation than others. The judgments made are much more accurate and flexible. Although Youzhou is far away from the battlefields of Yanzhou and Xuzhou, it can quickly obtain information on these battlefields. Even Liu Bin, who is far away in Jingzhou, can get the latest information within a few days. However, this is only a small part of Youzhou's advantage.

Although Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others did not know much about the information they had as much information as Youzhou, they could respond a little faster than Youzhou when they were on the scene. Just like now, although Chen Gong, Liu Bei and others did not know that Cao Cao had completely captured Xuzhou, had a reserved food and grass base and room for maneuver. However, in recent days, the fierce attack of Cao Cao's army still made Chen Gong, Liu Bei and others discover abnormalities. Such a fierce attack was not like the dying struggle of a group of tired army who could not eat enough? Cao Cao must have obtained a stable supply of military rations.

Liu Bei and Chen Gong were worried. Although Liu Bei and Chen Gong's army now have more than 300,000 people, it is much more than the number of less than 300,000 troops brought back from the Xuzhou battlefield by Cao Cao. Moreover, the autumn harvest in various parts of Yanzhou has just been harvested, and there is no problem with the reserve of military rations for the time being. However, the loyalty of the army is a big problem. Now the troops led by Liu Bei and Chen Gong are only the more than 100,000 troops brought by Liu Bei, which is absolutely loyal and reliable. For other troops, it is hard to say.

.They were all troops recruited by Cao Cao and then scattered all over the place. At this time, they were only those who rebel against Cao Cao under the leadership of their superiors. These military members still had a certain remembrance and fear of Cao Cao. Moreover, these troops were the second and third-rate soldiers who Cao Cao selected from the border and the elite soldiers used by the expedition. With their qualities, how could they compete with the elite troops used by Cao Cao to conquer? Moreover, the most important thing was that Liu Bei and Chen Gong's subordinates lacked powerful generals who could fight and kill.

In today's era of cold weapons, the powerful generals of ten thousand enemies are an indispensable soul pillar of an army. Even Liu Bei's army was based on the Youzhou army and imitated the same organization as the Youzhou army. However, Liu Bei could not exert the absolute power of this army without the cooperation of invincible generals. Besides, Liu Bei did not personally come to the Youzhou army. He just based on his own understanding and some information from inquiries and analysis. Therefore, the troops he established, like the Youzhou army, are just specious! Kill the generals and seize the flag! In today's era, it is definitely not empty talk. But it has absolute

A significant role. It is said that there are ten thousand people, boundless and ten thousand people, completely connected to the sky. In this modern means of contact without mobile phones and phone calls, and there are ten thousand or ten thousand at any time, the cold weapons era of large-scale group operations. Flag! The flag of the powerful general who led the troops to charge into battle is the method of closely uniting an army. Behind each general who led the army, one must always follow a flag-holder. As long as the flag does not fall, the officers and soldiers affiliated with the flag under this flag, they will know where to kill and where to gather. In this way, the collective strength of the large army's combat is exerted.

If the general who led the troops was easily killed, of course he would not be able to protect the flag behind him. When the flag fell, the troops trapped in the sea of ​​people could not even understand the sense of direction. Even if Liu Bei imitated the Youzhou troops and formed the troops, and had various team leaders to maintain them in the grassroots units of the troops, they would still become a small grain of sand and dust that was submerged in the sea of ​​people. The difference was that the sand and dust composed of ten people were greater than the sand and dust composed of one person. However, he was essentially the same

It's still a grain of sand and dust. Such troops are still a mess. It's still useless for large-scale group operations. The Youzhou Army has strong combat effectiveness, which is known to the world! They train hard and have excellent equipment. However, the most important reason why the Youzhou Army is invincible and attacking is because the Youzhou Army has countless powerful generals that other troops do not have! Every time they fight, the generals of the Youzhou Army can easily defeat their opponents when fighting against the generals, allowing the opponent's generals to flee in panic, and the enemy will immediately become soldiers.

The terrifying crossbow troops of the Youzhou Army made another saturated long-range strike, and the opponent's military formation suddenly became sparse. When Youzhou Special Banner charges again, the opponent will of course collapse! Especially, the lord Liu Bin, every time he goes to the battlefield, he will compete for the lead and stand at the forefront of the battle. With one person's strength, he dares to attack the enemy's army of hundreds of thousands of troops. Sometimes he will collapse the enemy's army by himself. Soldiers, or passionate men, have a fine tradition of worshiping the strong.

With the prince's honor, Liu Bin did things that countless strong people could not do, and became a peerless strong man. Under his leadership, his Youzhou army naturally burst out with infinite combat power! This is the real reason why the Youzhou army is invincible and defeated! This is the real reason why Liu Bin has such a high prestige in the Youzhou army, why can he get the support of so many soldiers, why dare to be the boss and hand over military and political power to those subordinates, while the Youzhou army, from generals to soldiers, no one dares to betray Liu Bin!

Although Liu Bei's army was formed according to the Youzhou Army, Liu Bei's army was never an opponent of the Youzhou Army. Although Liu Bei had some prestige in his own army, his subordinates did not admire Liu Bin like the soldiers of the Youzhou Army! The reason was that there were no real strong people in Liu Bei's army! Although Liu Bei often visited the battlefield in person, he insisted that a gentleman would not stand under the mast. He rarely stood on the front line of the battle! Even if he occasionally participated in a battle, he did not go there happily like Liu Bin! This principle was not understood by Liu Bei before, but he understood it in his first confrontation with Xiahou Dun.

At that time, Xiahou Dun only brought 50,000 vanguard troops, while Liu Bei held his own elite troops of 140,000 and decided to eat Xiahou Dun's fat piece to boost morale so as not to change the troops brought by Chen Gong that were originally Cao Cao's subordinates when they were in battle. However, as soon as the two armies confronted each other, Guo An, who was under Liu Bei, died in Xiahou Dun's gun. The flag behind Guo An was also taken away by Xiahou Dun. At that time, Guo An led him.

The troops led by him could not find the north. Xiahou Dun even recognized Liu Bei's flag and chased him fiercely. Under Xiahou Dun's leadership, the 50,000 troops and horses of Xiahou Dun were like evil tigers pounced into the flock of sheep, splitting Liu Bei's army in half. Although Liu Bei had some martial arts, Liu Bei was not a ruthless leader who could make up his mind to fight. After all, with Liu Bei's current status, he had not yet been forced to fight to the point of Liu Bei's personal hard work. So Liu Bei turned around and ran away.
