Hearing that Li Shimin sent an envoy to the Central Plains, Cao Cao was quite surprised, he was really dozing off, someone sent a pillow, and thought that his mother's family had come to have a child and his uncle, which was even faster than saying that Cao Cao and Cao Cao would arrive.
"Xun Gongda, quickly go to meet Li Tang's envoy on my behalf, don't slack off" Cao Cao was asking Li Tang, and when he heard that this Li Mi was Li Shimin's clansman, he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and immediately sent Xun You to greet Li Mi and his party in person.
After a while, under the guidance of Xun You, Li Mi, who was disguised as a Han Chinese, and his party of five came to Cao Cao and saluted together: "Li Mi, the imperial history of the Tang Kingdom, was ordered by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to come to China to meet the Emperor of Great Wei."
"The envoy came from afar, I don't know what the Tang Emperor has to teach" Cao Cao had a request for help, so he lowered his posture and ordered the guards to move a round stool for Li Mi and sit down to talk.
"Thank you Emperor Wei for the seat" After Li Mi sat down, he glanced at the civil and military forces on both sides of Cao Cao, and his face showed hesitation: "The little minister came all the way from the Tang Kingdom to discuss the military aircraft with His Majesty, I don't know if it is convenient for these many people to speak."
Cao Cao stroked his beard and laughed: "Hehe, the Zun Envoy can rest assured, everyone present has followed me for many years, and they are all people who can go to the soup for me, and it doesn't hurt for the Zun Envoy to say it directly, and there will never be half a word leaked out."
Li Mi bowed slightly: "Since Your Majesty said so, Li Mi is better to obey than respectful."
I came here this time, but I was entrusted by my Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to negotiate with His Majesty to take Xuzhou's policy, I don't know what the Emperor of Great Wei wants."
"Take Xuzhou together" Cao Cao was secretly happy when he heard this, Li Shimin really coincided with himself, Guo Jia had just offered a plan to attack and defend, and he was trying to ask Li Shimin for help and jointly attack Xuzhou, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to be prepared in advance.
Li Mi nodded and said: "Exactly, as long as Xuzhou is taken, the connection between Qingzhou and the Eastern Han Dynasty can be cut off to the north, Jinling can be deterred to the south, and it can be attacked and defended."
Our Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has gathered 70,000 sailors along the coast, and when His Majesty responds, he will attack Xuzhou across the sea, flanking left and right, and Xuzhou will definitely be at his fingertips.
After taking Xuzhou, Tang Wei will divide it equally from the middle. ” Cao Cao's eyes were like torches, and he said loudly: "There are only a few dozen miles away from Qian County ahead, and after the army is encamped in the evening, I will discuss with the subordinate martial arts, and then give the envoy an answer."
"This is as it should be," Li Mi stood up and saluted, "The minister is waiting for Your Majesty's good news, and I believe that Your Majesty will not give up this win-win opportunity." ” Some words were inconvenient to speak directly in front of Li Mi, so Cao Cao took the excuse of delaying until the evening to reply to Li Mi, and immediately ordered the army to continue to rush north, and then set up camp when it arrived outside the city of Qiaoxian.
With Cao Cao's order, more than 100,000 Cao troops continued to rush north, waving flags along the way, smoke and dust rolling, and the army was like a long dragon, stretching for more than ten miles.
In the evening, 150,000 Cao troops arrived in the south of the city of Qiaoxian, and Cao Cao found a place near a water source and lush vegetation and ordered to set up camp.
Leaving Guo Ziyi, Jia Fu and others to guard the camp, he took Fan Zeng, Guo Jia, Xun You, Liu Fu and other strategists straight to Qian County, intending to return to the ancestral home of the Cao family, and discussed how to reply to Li Mi's request overnight Before Cao Cao and his entourage arrived at the city of Qiaoxian, several cavalry scouts came to meet them, and they came straight to the front of Cao Cao's horse before they reined in the reins, turned over and dismounted and knelt on the ground to report: "Your Majesty, I have been ordered by General Cao Zixiao to come to report to Your Majesty, after Chen Liu's loss, General Cao Zixiao has led his troops to the north, stationed troops in Yan County, and sent reinforcements to Baima from all over the country to prevent Yue Fei from going north to invade Yedu." ” "Well done Zixiao" Cao Cao clenched his fists and roared when he heard this, in such an unfavorable situation, it was too much to need someone to stand up and share his worries.
Cao Cao was glad that Cao Ren had made the right choice and did not continue to entangle in Chenliu, but decisively gave up the lost ground, quickly retreated north, and arranged a defensive line in Yan County.
Fan Zeng, Guo Jia and others were also overjoyed when they heard this, for Cao Wei, Cao Ren's decision was too important, at least it could delay Yue Fei's pace to the north, prevent Yue Fei from driving straight into the threat of Yedu, and buy time for the main army led by Cao Cao to adjust, which was a life-saving decision for Cao Wei.
"How many soldiers and horses do you have in Zixiao's hands?"
The look of joy on Cao Cao's face was fleeting, it was not yet time to relax, if Yue Fei was determined to go on the Northern Expedition, he didn't know how long Cao Ren would be able to hold out The scout replied: "Back to Your Majesty's words, General Zixiao fought a big battle with Lü Meng and Yue Yun in Yangxia, and beheaded the Han general Xu Rong, but also lost General Shi Jin, and there are still 38,000 soldiers and horses under his command.
And the day before yesterday, he led his troops into Yan County, strengthened the city wall, collected rolling stones and wood, and prepared to block Yue Fei's road to the north. ” "Zixiao's attack is insufficient, but his ability to defend the city is trustworthy" Cao Cao stroked his beard and made an objective evaluation of Cao Ren, "Giving up the fight for Chen Liu's retreat to Yan County must be Sima Zhongda's strategy, fortunately, there is Zhongda to assist Zixiao, otherwise Ye will be in danger" The scout shook his head and arched his hand: "Back to Your Majesty's words, giving up Chen Liu's retreat to Yan County is not Lord Sima's strategy, but Mr.
Zhao Pu's suggestion. ” Cao Cao's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he looked puzzled: "Zhao Pu, which Zhao Pu" The scout replied: "Back to Your Majesty, this Mr.
Zhao Pu is none other than a military advisor under Zhao Kuangyin in the past.
After the demise of Zhao Kuangyin, he came to the Central Plains to join His Majesty, but rescued Lord Sima who was chased and killed by Yue Yun in Yangxia, and then followed Lord Sima to the military counsellor under General Cao Zixiao.
Abandoning Chen Liu's retreat to Yan County to defend Yedu was Mr.
Zhao's suggestion, not Mr.
Zhongda's suggestion."
Thousands of troops are easy to find, top strategists are also hard to find, Cao Cao knows a little about Zhao Pu's deeds, and when he heard that he actually came to join him, he couldn't help but smile: "Haha, this Zhao Pu is definitely a talent, and he forced Chang Yuchun with his yellow robe back then, so that this fierce general will give Zhao Kuangyin his life in a daze."
If there was no Zhao Pu, I was afraid that Zhao Kuangyin would have become a prisoner of Liu Wei's subordinates, but I didn't expect that when I was in trouble, this Zhao Pu would still come to take refuge, which is really commendable."
In recent years, the four major strategists under Cao Cao have been Guo Jia, Fan Zeng, Sima Yi, and Jia Xu; The next level is Xun You, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai, Kuai Liang, Cao Di, Man Chong and others.
With the addition of Zhao Pu, Cao Cao's think tank has been strengthened, which makes Cao Cao feel very good, while the other strategists are in different moods.
The scout continued to report: "There are also two strange people who came to defect with Mr.
Zhao Pu, both of whom are tall and big, one is called a giant, and he is a Qiang man from the Western Regions, who can drive fierce beasts and train beast soldiers.
There is also a fierce general named Ruan Weng Zhong, who is born with a height of one zhang and three feet, known as the top three fierce generals in Guishan, and these two people followed Zhao Pu to our Great Wei after Zhao Kuangyin's demise."
Last year, the giant fought against Zhang Fei, Xu Huang, Zhao Yun, Yuwen Chengdu and other fierce generals in Yizhou, and has become famous and is considered by the world to be able to challenge the existence of Li Yuanba.
Cao Cao has also heard of this person's name for a long time, and often sighs and sighs, how come the courtiers under his command did not recruit such a strange person, but they were obtained by Zhao Kuangyin, a small prince, which is really enviable Unexpectedly, when the mountain did not turn around, just when he was in an unfavorable situation, the Big Mac actually followed Zhao Pu to defect, which was really an inspiring joy, and it made Cao Cao smile and almost close his mouth: "Haha, this Big Mac's martial arts are not under the dragon and tiger, with his joining, it will definitely make our Great Wei like a tiger."
Guo Jia also looked elated: "Hehe, congratulations, Your Majesty, it is really the luck of Great Wei to have Zhao Pu and the Big Mac, and I heard that Ruan Weng Zhong's strength is also good, even if it is not as good as the Big Mac, it is enough to compare with Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others."
With these three people assisting General Cao Zixiao, plus the Sima Zhongda brothers, it was enough to resist Yue Fei for a while, which was more beneficial to our army's plan of attacking and defending. can quickly send a general to Xuzhou, and take advantage of Xu Da's confrontation with Chen Ziyun to sneak attack Xiapi, and there will be a victory."
Cao Cao immediately instructed Liu Fu: "After entering Qian County later, Liu Yuanying immediately ordered the craftsman to carve three seals and send them to Yan County in person."
Zhao Pu was crowned as the post of Jiuqing, Jumbo was crowned as General Long Xiang, and Ruan Weng Trong was crowned as General Huwei, and after meritorious service in the future, another reward was awarded."
"Obey Your Majesty's instructions," Liu Fu immediately surrendered his order.
The crisis eased, Cao Cao was in a good mood, and sent an envoy to Bingzhou to transfer troops, and ordered Hao Zhao and Wang Linger to send 30,000 troops from Bingzhou to Yan County to reinforce Cao Ren, and strive to block Yue Fei's pace of going north.
Of course, Yue Fei faced two choices after taking Chen Liu and Xuchang, one was to attack Yecheng to the north, and the other was to attack Luoyang to the west, which was not necessarily 100% offensive to the north, but Cao Cao had to take precautions and defend well in advance, so as not to give Yue Fei a chance to threaten Yecheng.
After greetings, Cao Cao did not go to the county office, but went straight to the ancestral house of the Cao family located in the southeast corner of the county, and discussed with the think tanks whether the plan to unite Li Shimin to attack Xuzhou was feasible As soon as everyone sat down, Guo Jia got up and saluted: "Your Majesty, the minister has seen through Li Shimin's purpose, in fact, Li Shimin's drunken intention is not in wine, and the real purpose is not in Xuzhou."
And Jia also has a countermeasure in his heart, promising to let Li Shimin make a wedding dress for our Great Wei, so that Xuzhou will fall into the hands of our Great Wei."

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and picked up the tea bowl and moistened his throat: "What is the clever plan of Fengxiao, come quickly" S: Today, a few relatives came from Shenyang to Shandong to visit my uncle, and the swordsman, as the host, went to the station to pick up people, arranged meals, accommodation, and accompanied to the hospital. t1706231537:
