Zongwu: Sign in an army of 100,000 at the beginning

At night, thirty miles away from Xuzhou City,

Cao Cao's army had gathered here. More than 70,000 troops slaughtered all the cities they encountered along the way. Cao Cao's army also collected countless grain, grass and money.

Xuzhou City is already approaching.

As long as Cao Cao's army destroys the army in Xuzhou City and the prefect Tao Qian, Xuzhou will be completely occupied by Cao Cao.

In a luxurious military tent,

Cao Cao put on his cloak and looked at the arriving Cao Ren and asked,"Zixiao, hasn't Cao Zhen arrived yet?"

Cao Ren saluted Cao Cao,

"My lord, not yet. I sent scouts fifty miles away but did not find the arrival of Cao Zhen's 30,000 troops. My lord, maybe Cao Zhen's conquest of Guangling County did not go well, which delayed the assembly time."

Cao Cao nodded and said,

"Well, there are only more than 10,000 Xuzhou troops in Guangling County. Cao Zhen should be able to capture Guangling County quickly. Cao Zhen must have wasted his time. Xuzhou City is our main battlefield, and here are all Xuzhou's armies."

Cao Ren hesitated for a moment and then took a few steps forward to dissuade Cao Cao,

"Lord, we can no longer massacre. If we continue to massacre, Xuzhou will completely become a purgatory on earth. If we want to occupy Xuzhou, we must have a population. Even if we occupy Xuzhou without a population, it will be useless."

When Cao Cao heard Cao Ren's words, he looked at Cao Ren fiercely and replied,

"Zixiao, you don’t understand"

"Xuzhou has not experienced a particularly big war, and Xuzhou was not severely damaged during the Yellow Turban Uprising. There are many wealthy businessmen in Xuzhou, and we are very short of money and food."

"Yuan Shao from Yizhou and Miss Yan from Jingzhou are eyeing us. If we don’t develop quickly, we will either be destroyed by Yuan Shao or Miss Yan from Jingzhou."

"We will get the wealth of Xuzhou no matter what this time. Cao

Ren hurriedly continued to persuade,"Then we don't have to massacre the people. We can order the army to rob the money and food of the wealthy businessmen.""

Cao Cao waved his hand and said with an ugly face,"You don't need to say more. An Xinghou is patrolling the surrounding areas of Xuzhou City. He absolutely cannot allow Tao Qian of Xuzhou and the noble families and wealthy businessmen of Xuzhou to escape from Xuzhou City."

"Yes, my lord!"

Cao Ren bowed and retreated after hearing Cao Cao's words.

This time, Cao Ren discussed with Xia Houchun and Xia Houyuan before deciding to persuade Cao Cao, but he still failed to dissuade Cao Cao.

Cao Cao insisted on massacring the people of Xuzhou.

This was It will anger other princes in the Han Empire.

They are worried that Cao Cao's massacre of the city in Xuzhou will anger other princes to launch a war against them, especially Yuan Shao and Miss Yan of Jingzhou. They will definitely not watch Cao Cao massacre the city in Xuzhou. The war I'm afraid it's inevitable.

After Cao Ren withdrew, Cao

Cao took a sip of wine and shook his head. Since he started massacring the city in Xuzhou, he also felt the opposition of Cao Ren and Xia Houchun.

Especially Guo Jia,

Now Guo Jia has no advice for him at all.

Guo Jia is drunk every day. Cao Cao knows that Guo Jia is dissatisfied with him for slaughtering the city in Xuzhou.

But he has no choice.

Cao Cao is now short of money and food, and he has Cao Cao and Jingzhou have been eyeing him. If he doesn't develop and grow as soon as possible, he will either be destroyed by Yuan Shao of Yizhou or Miss Yan of Jingzhou. Cao Cao doesn't want to die. Cao Cao gave up when the princes challenged Dong. With them together, it is impossible for Yuan Shao and Miss Yan to let him go. He must become stronger as soon as possible. Even if he gets a bad reputation, he doesn't care. At this time,

Xuzhou City has gathered 150,000 Xuzhou troops. , the entire Xuzhou city wall was filled with Xuzhou troops nervously standing guard.

Hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou City were also fighting and waiting for their future fate. Cao Cao massacred the city in various counties and counties in Xuzhou, and the people here had heard about it. Xuzhou City The people of Xuzhou were also worried that they would massacre the city after it was captured by Cao Cao.

In the Prefectural Mufu's Mansion,

Tao Qian was seriously ill.

He was lying on the bed and could not get up.

Tao Qian was helped by the maid to sit up, and he looked at Mi Zhu Cao Bao, Sun Guan and other officials asked,"Where are Jingzhou's troops? Mi

Zhu hurriedly saluted Tao Qian and said,

"Zhou Mu, news came from Guangling County. Jingzhou’s army slaughtered Cao Cao’s 30,000 troops under Guangling City. Jingzhou’s army is quickly rushing to our Xuzhou. Moreover, Jingzhou’s general also spread the news that Jingzhou’s cavalry is already on the way to Xuzhou. , Jingzhou’s army will arrive in Xuzhou City tomorrow."

Tao Qian was very happy when he heard that Jingzhou's army had destroyed part of Cao Cao's army. He did not expect that Jingzhou's army had reached Xuzhou in just a few days.

Tao Qian said with a smile on his face,"Okay, okay, Xuzhou is saved. I can't die yet. I want to see Cao Cao's destruction with my own eyes. I want to see the retribution Cao Cao deserves for massacring the people of Xuzhou. Cao

Bao looked at Tao Qian's excited look and said worriedly,"Zhou Mu needs to take care of himself. Miss Yan from Jingzhou will not let Cao Cao go." Tao

Qian waved his hand and said helplessly,"I know, I know, I just feel sorry that I can't see Miss Yan again.""

Tao Qian also knew that his body could not last much longer. He just felt very sorry that he could not see the heroic Su Yan again.

When the princes gathered for an alliance, only Su Yan was very pleasing to his eyes. If Yuan Shu had been attentive to Miss Yan, Tao Qian had long wanted to invite Miss Yan to Xuzhou.

Mi Zhu looked at Tao Qian and said helplessly,"Zhou Mu, Miss Yan is not in Jingzhou. I'm afraid Miss Yan won't be able to come to Xuzhou in person this time." Arrive in Xuzhou."

Tao Qian also knew that it was unrealistic for Miss Yan to come to Xuzhou this time.

He nodded and said to the others,"Go down. You must defend Xuzhou City. I don't want Xuzhou City to be captured by Cao Cao. I want to defend Miss Yan." Leave a complete Xuzhou city behind"

"Yes, Zhou Mu!"

To the southeast of Xuzhou,

Madam Ding and the others are also resting fifty miles away from Xuzhou.

They are rushing towards Xuzhou City non-stop.

Cao Cao's army will reach Xuzhou City tomorrow, and Madam Ding and the others must also speed up and rush to Xuzhou. If they want to prevent Cao Cao from attacking Xuzhou City, they must stop Cao Cao before the army attacks the city. What

Mrs. Ding and the others don't know is that less than ten miles away from them.

Tens of thousands of black-armored troops are guarding a vehicle. The carriage was also resting. These were Su Yan and Huang Yueying who came quickly from Yangzhou.

After Su Yan knew that Cao Cao was massacring the city in Xuzhou, she angrily ordered the army to speed up. She must kill Cao Cao and his army this time. They were all massacred in Xuzhou.

Tomorrow's battle is about to break out in Xuzhou City.

Cao Cao's more than 70,000 troops,

Xuzhou's more than 100,000 troops,

Su Yan's black-armored cavalry, and even women like Madam Ding, Gai Nie and the Zhen family The five sisters, Su Chen, Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Du, all came to Xuzhou at the same time.
