"Come here! Push the messenger sent by Liu Bei out of the gate and behead him. The head will be sent to Xuzhou City for public display! The army leaves the camp and immediately launches an attack on the city!"

"Lord, wait a minute!" Boss Cao had just finished speaking. Before the warriors in the tent could sing their promises, a person suddenly stood out from the ranks of civilian officials on the left. He was twenty-three or four years old, and his appearance was as handsome as a peerless beauty.

He was sickly, thin, and so ill that a gust of wind could blow him down. This person was none other than the famous Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao.

Guo Jia first bowed his hands in salute, then coughed and said to stop him: "My lord... my lord, please calm down the anger of the thunder, and don't fall into Liu Bei's trick."

"Fengxiao, has your illness worsened again?" Cao Cao saw that Guo Jia was in bad condition and asked hurriedly: "Do you want to pass it on to the doctor?"

"Thank you for your concern, my lord. Guo Jia's condition does not matter." Guo Jia coughed and said, "My lord, although Guo Jia did not read Liu Bei's letter, he heard from the lord that Liu Bei's letter contained sarcasm. Guo Jia already understood Liu Bei's true intention, and still

I hope my lord will temporarily calm down his thunderous rage and think carefully before falling into Liu Bei’s plan of turning the guest into the master."

"Sit down and talk, sit down and talk." Cao Cao called Guo Jia back to sit down, and asked: "What does Feng Xiao mean by this? How can Liu Bei become the guest?"

"Returning to my lord, Liu Bei sent a letter to my lord. It's called courtesy first and troops second. It's actually about opposing the guests. However, the person Liu Bei is targeting is not the lord, but Tao Qian." Guo Jia replied: "My lord has wiped out Tao Qian's main force and marched to Xuzhou.

Under the city, Tao Qian only has six or seven thousand remnants of defeated soldiers trapped in the isolated city. The soldiers have no fighting spirit and the generals have no fighting spirit. The destruction of Xuzhou city is just around the corner."

"Now Liu Bei has led his army into the city. He has only two to three thousand men. It is a drop in the bucket and it is difficult to solve the big problem. If Liu Bei goes out of the city to fight decisively, with the power of our army, Liu Bei will be defeated easily. And Liu Bei's only way to win is to fight with Tao

Qian joined forces to defend the city and relied on the fortified city of Xuzhou to counter our army. However, Liu Bei entered Xuzhou under the pretext of rescuing Tao Qian. If he did not fight with our army, he would not be able to explain to Tao Qian and the soldiers and civilians of Xuzhou. If he directly proposed to join forces with Tao Qian to defend the city, he would let

People ridiculed him for being timid and timid, which was bad for his reputation..."

"So Liu Bei used the pretext of being polite first and then attacking me, and deliberately angered me." Cao Cao quickly woke up and slapped his forehead and said: "What a treacherous man! If I fell into his trick, he would immediately kill the envoys and attack the city. This would not only put him at a moral disadvantage, but also put Liu Bei at a disadvantage.

The child escaped the risk of leaving the city for a decisive battle. Liu Bei, the child, can take the opportunity to join forces with Tao Qian as equals to defend the city. If he wins, Liu Bei will take the first credit in rescuing Xuzhou. If he loses, he can preserve his military strength and break out calmly, leaving Tao Qian behind.

I alone bear my wrath!"

"That's right, but I think Liu Bei's move has a deeper meaning." Guo Jia nodded and said: "Liu Bei, a hero, has long cherished the heart of the world. This is called rescuing Xuzhou, but it is actually for Xuzhou's land.

Come. Tao Qian has been defeated in a row before. Tao's army has been killed ten times and his vitality has been severely weakened. If Liu Bei can join forces with Tao Qian to defeat his lord, then Tao Qian will definitely receive Liu Bei as a guest, and in order to rely on Liu Bei's power to save Xuzhou

, to prevent our army from returning, Tao Qian will definitely try his best to retain Liu Bei, and will give Liu Bei money, food, and land, and Liu Bei will take the opportunity to establish a foothold in Xuzhou."

"The abacus is good, but does Liu Bei have the ability to defeat me?" Cao Cao sneered.

"It doesn't matter if we can't repel them. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are guarding them on the left and right. It won't be difficult for Liu Bei to break through the chaotic army." Guo Jia said with a smile: "But if we can force our army back, Liu Bei's gains may be huge."

Okay. Our army's detailed operations have already revealed that Tao Qian, the old traitor, is seriously ill and will not last long. Tao Qian's two sons are notoriously cowardly, loyal, and extremely incompetent. If Liu Bei can use the power of Kong Rong and Tian Kai

By luck, he forced our army back and won the first victory in relieving the siege of Xuzhou. Then the old thief Tao Qian suddenly died. Wouldn't Liu Bei...?"

"What a huge appetite." Cao Cao sneered again and asked, "Liu Bei is so treacherous, how can I defeat him in the light of Feng Xiao?"

"It's not difficult to defeat Liu Bei." Guo Jia said easily: "Liu Bei took advantage of our unpreparedness and rushed into Xuzhou City to meet up with Tao Qian. His morale was high and he immediately attacked the city. Even if our army succeeded, we would suffer heavy casualties. It's better to take advantage of his plan.

, first treat Liu Bei's messengers kindly, reply to Liu Bei with kind words, be prepared with caution, take advantage of Liu Bei's relaxation, and then attack the city suddenly, Xuzhou can be defeated in one battle."

"Wonderful!" Cao Cao clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Let Liu Bei be proud for a moment, and then kill him and Tao Qian together! Someone, send Liu Bei's messenger to the back tent, entertain him with wine and food, and wait for me to write

If he can answer the letter well, let him be sent back to the city of Xuzhou." The civil servants of Cao's army under the tent made a promise and accepted the order and left.

………………

Thanks to the handsome young man Guo Jia and Guo Jia, our Deputy Director Tao finally managed to escape a catastrophe. When Cao Jun officials invited Deputy Director Tao to have dinner in the back tent, Deputy Director Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Knowing that his bet was right, as long as he escaped the first wave of Cao Cao's wrath, he could basically be said to be safe. The next step was to see if that would happen, and to consider how to avoid it as much as possible.

They should take more credit for Xuzhou's rescue.

The main crops grown in Cao Cao's farmland were millet, so the staple food that Cao Jun used to entertain Tao Ying was also corn. The dishes were very simple, including a plate of melons, a plate of meat, and a pot of turbid wine. Compared with the food in the prosperous and prosperous city of Xuzhou, it was much better.

Far inferior, but although the dishes were simple, Tao Ying ate them with gusto, was in a good mood, and the food naturally tasted delicious.

"Here! The messenger from Xuzhou is here!"

A sudden roar interrupted Tao Ying's meal. Immediately afterwards, a group of wolf-like and tiger-like Sergeant Cao soldiers rushed into the military tent where Tao Ying was. The leader saw Tao Ying sitting at the table honestly.

Next to him, he looked happy at first, and then shouted loudly: "Take it!"

"Bang!" The bamboo chopsticks in Tao Ying's hand fell to the ground. His face, which had been practicing in the city government for many years, showed a rare look of shock, and he thought to himself: "What happened? Why did Cao Cao entertain me first and then arrest me?"

Regardless of what Tao Ying thought, Cao Jun's soldiers pounced on Tao Ying and held him down. The hemp rope bag with thick wrists fell down and tied Tao Ying up tightly. The tall man said with a ferocious smile: "

What a boy, how brave you are, how dare you come here! The Lord will order your execution soon, and I, Dian Wei, will definitely tear you apart with my own hands! Take it away!"

The soldiers chanted a promise and dragged Tao Ying away. Tao Ying did not resist. Resistance was useless. Not to mention that this was the camp of Cao Jun. There were tens of thousands of Cao Jun soldiers. Dian Wei just stood in front of him.

Tao Ying can be crushed to death with one hand!

Therefore, Tao Ying did not struggle at all. The tension in his mind was just nervous calculations, "Why did Cao Cao send Dian Wei to arrest me? Has my identity been exposed? Impossible. If anyone in Cao's camp could recognize me, they would have taken care of me long ago."

My identity has been exposed, why wait until now?"

"Could it be...!" After thinking about this, Tao Ying suddenly discovered a major mistake in his plan, "Could it be that Tao Qian couldn't calm down and sent troops to save my fake son, so Cao Cao's old cunning man suspected that my identity was not simple?

?But it’s still wrong, there are no shouts of killing outside the camp? If Tao Qian really sends troops to rescue me, there should be a quarrel outside?"

"Let's go!" Dian Wei thought the soldier was too slow, stretched out his arm that was thicker than Tao Ying's thigh, grabbed the rope around Tao Ying's body, lifted Tao Ying up like an eagle catching a chicken, and walked away, striding towards him.

Tao Ying was unable to resist in the Chinese army's tent where Boss Cao was, so he could only pray silently in his heart, asking God to bless him so that Cao Cao would not find out his identity.

Dian Wei's footsteps were very fast. As soon as he arrived in front of the Chinese army's tent, Tao Ying didn't even have time to see clearly the appearance of the handsome tent, which was heavily guarded by Cao's army. Dian Wei had already carried Tao Ying into the tent, and then brought him to the tent.

Tao Ying slammed the ground on the ground in the middle of the tent, raised his hands to Cao Cao in the middle of the high seat and said: "My lord, this person is Liu Bei's messenger!"

Cao Cao didn't answer immediately. Tao Ying, who was beaten to pieces, struggled to raise his head, only to see Cao's military officers and generals standing on both sides of the tent. Two white flags were hung in the middle. On the flags were written the four words "revenge". There was a man standing under the banner.

He was in his forties, wearing white mourning clothes. He was dark and short, and his appearance was unattractive, but his bearing was quite extraordinary. He was as tall as Mount Tai. He stared at Tao Ying with his hands behind his back. His eyes were cold and sharp, which made Tao Ying's heart skip a beat.

The hairs all over the body stand on end.

"This black dwarf is probably Cao Cao." Tao Ying thought to himself, "What is he planning to do by sending his trusted general Dian Wei to arrest me?"

"Boy, what's your name?" Cao Cao finally spoke and asked Tao Ying coldly: "What is your identity?"

"Why are you asking me for my name and identity?" Cold sweat broke out on Tao Ying's forehead, vaguely guessing that Cao Cao had figured out his identity.

"Answer!" Boss Cao shouted again, his demeanor extremely majestic.

"Damn it! Fight!" Tao Ying was worried, thinking that since the old thief Cao Cao has probably figured out my identity, it would be useless for me to give him a false name, and it might make Cao Cao hate me even more.

After thinking about this, Tao Ying struggled to stand up, bowed slightly to Cao Cao, straightened his back and replied loudly: "Back to Ming Gong, my surname is Tao Ying, and my courtesy name is Mingwu. I am the second son of Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian. I have no official position for the time being."

"Sure enough, it's this kid!" There was a lot of noise in the tent. Cao Junwen and Wu's faces were full of surprise or joy, and some people gritted their teeth and clenched their fists and shouted, "Okay! I sent it to the door! My lord, please let me go.

In the end, this little boy will be cut into pieces to avenge his father!"

"People say that Tao Qian's two sons are cowardly, incompetent, mediocre and useless. It seems that the rumors are wrong." Cao Cao sneered ferociously and said gloomily: "I didn't expect that Tao Qian's son was not only not cowardly, but also extremely courageous. He dared to come to me in person."

I sent a letter to the camp and fell into a trap! You are not a coward, you are really a coward!"

Sweat rolled down Tao Ying's forehead, and his face was as pale as death. He trembled for a long time before answering, "Ming Gong has given me the reward, but Tao Ying really doesn't deserve it."

"No prize." Cao Cao shook his head and asked with a smile like a cat playing with a mouse: "Your father Tao Qian sent troops to kill my father, and you still dare to come to my camp to deliver a message. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

"Afraid." Tao Ying answered honestly this time.

"If you are afraid, then why do you dare to come?" Cao Cao asked with a sneer, trying hard to suppress the urge to tear Tao Ying into pieces with his own hands.

Tao Ying was sweating not just on his forehead, but all over his body. He was completely at a loss and didn't know how to answer Cao Cao's question. He couldn't say that he was pretending to be in order to compete with Liu Bei.

Liu Bei’s envoy came to Cao Ying, right?

"Why don't you answer?" Cao Cao asked again. At the same time, he pressed the hilt of the sword and slowly drew out the sword from his waist. The murderous aura on his body made Tao Ying's skin feel like a knife cutting from twenty steps away.

"What..., what should I do?" Tao Ying knew that his death was coming, and his heart was even more panicked, and his legs could not stop shaking like crazy.

The moment Cao Cao's sword was completely unsheathed, a name suddenly flashed in Tao Ying's mind - Chen Lin! Chen Lin, who had scolded Cao Cao's ancestors for eighteen generations, and finally got an iron rice bowl in Cao Cao's army.

Lin!

"Back to Duke Ming, Tao Ying was afraid of death, but he came to deliver a message to Duke Ming's army, just because..." Tao Ying chanted:

"His name is a strong man, but he is immoral and cares about his own interests. He sacrifices his life to fight for the country, and regards death as a sudden return! Therefore, Tao Ying is not afraid of death!"

By the way, the original author of this poem is the son of a certain black dwarf. This son of the black dwarf is not yet two years old.
