The thin morning light gradually dissipates with the rising sun.
The morning sun is rising, it should be the most energetic time of the day, but Pengcheng at this moment, but there is a heavy twilight, since last winter, Pengcheng has become the main battlefield of Cao Cao and Tao Qian's competition, the nearby cities, villages and towns with the spread of war, plus Tao Qian and Tai Shi Ci discussed, the implementation of the policy of clearing the wilderness, so that the entire Pengcheng area, the people's livelihood withered.
Even Pengcheng, as the county seat, looks like an old man who is about to die, and the surrounding city walls are full of traces left by the war.
"In less than three days, this city will be broken" Looking at the tragic situation of Peng Cheng from afar, Yu Ban waved his fist with some excitement.
"It's a pity, if it weren't for the Tai Shi Ci to block it, relying on the Xuzhou soldiers alone, as early as a month ago, this Pengcheng had already been broken, how could it give Tao Qian a chance to clear the wilderness."
Xiahoudun shook his arm, turned his head to look at Cao Cao and said, "Lord, after the city is broken, I want to fight with that Tai Shi Ci again." ” "Don't worry" Cao Cao shook his head, looked at Peng Cheng's eyes, flashing with an inexplicable smile: "Stay for a few days, if it goes well, not only Pengcheng can be broken, but this Xuzhou, and no one can stop our army." ” "What does this mean" Xiahoudun looked at Cao Cao and said puzzledly.
Cao Cao shook his head and smiled without saying a word.
"The Lord" Just when everyone was pointing out the country, they saw Cheng Yu riding a fast horse galloping towards this side, and ran until Cao Cao was more than ten steps away before he stopped his horse.
"Zhongde, why are you in such a hurry?"
Cao Cao asked with a smile.
"Back to the lord, I just received Wen Ruo's urgent paperwork, and our army's food and grass are already insufficient."
Cheng Yu handed a piece of bamboo note to Dian Wei, asked Dian Wei to hand it to Cao Cao, and said with some eagerness.
"Insufficient grain and grass" Cao Cao frowned when he heard this, took the bamboo note, unfolded it and looked at it quickly, and a pair of eyebrows gradually frowned.
The surrounding generals couldn't help but change color, the three armies did not move, the grain and grass went first, and it was not a trivial matter that the army ran out of food.
"Let's go."
Cao Cao also lost the interest in touring, and quickly rushed to the camp with the generals.
When Cao Cao and others rushed back, Xi Zhicai was already waiting there.
"How long can the grain and grass in the army last" Cao Cao sat straight on the main seat, looked at Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai, and asked.
"There's still a month's worth of food."
Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly.
"One month is enough."
Xiahoudun laughed and said: "In less than three days, our army will be able to break through Pengcheng, and at that time, with Pengcheng's grain and grass funding, it will be enough for our army to continue to take Xuzhou." ” When Cao Cao heard this, he didn't speak, but Xi Zhicai on the side shook his head: "It's not proper, at the beginning of the New Year, Tao Qian knew that he was invincible, so he began to clear the wilderness, Pengcheng grain and grass, but also ten days to send, in my opinion, Pengcheng, I am afraid that there is not much grain and grass at this moment, even if Pengcheng is broken, our army will only get an empty city, for today's plan, we should retreat first." ” "Then our work for a few months will be in vain" Xiahoudun said with some dissatisfaction, because of the addition of Tai Shici, Pengcheng should have been captured a long time ago, but it has been dragged until now, and now seeing that Pengcheng is about to be captured, but it has to retreat, which makes the generals how willing.
"Zhicai is right, we can't gamble" After a long time, Cao Cao raised his head, looked at the generals and said: "If there is no grain and grass in Napeng City, these tens of thousands of troops, will they have to be trapped here, we can't afford to gamble, pass on our military order, and the three armies will pull out the camp and prepare to withdraw." ” "This" Xiahoudun and the others were a little unwilling, just looking at Cao Cao's appearance, they had obviously made a decision, so they had to bow down and say: "Oh, the last general will take the order." ” The military order is like a mountain, Cao Cao governs the army strictly, since he has made a decision, it cannot be changed, that is, the generals are unwilling, and the military order has been issued at this moment, but there is no possibility of changing it.
At that moment, the generals took the orders and left, but Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu stayed.
"Lord, if our army wants to retreat, then Tao Qian may not be willing."
Cheng Yu knelt down and thought about it: "Although this person is not familiar with military strategy, he is a scheming man, if he sees the predicament of our army, I am afraid that he may not let me leave with peace of mind." ” "Hmm" Cao Cao nodded, thinking: "But it's a little difficult to do, it seems that someone needs to break it." ” "Someone really needs to break the back."
Xi Zhicai narrowed his eyes and smiled: "But the minister has a plan, not only can make Tao Qian dare not rush to send troops, but also can separate that Tai Shi Ci and Tao Qian." ” A gleam flashed in Cao Cao's eyes: "Ji will be out" Time, before I knew it, it was noon, Tai Shi Ci finished training the soldiers, and was about to go back to the camp to rest, but saw a military marquis hurriedly come over, handed a bamboo note to Tai Shi Ci and said: "General, this is a letter from Cao Jun just now, and I want to hand it over to you." ” "Cao Jun" Tai Shici couldn't help frowning when he heard this, took the bamboo paper and opened it, and his eyes quickly swept over the bamboo paper.
The whole article is nonsense, expressing Cao Cao's admiration for Tai Shi Ci, and Tai Shi Ci is a little puzzled when he sees it, and there are traces of being erased in many places, the handwriting is blurred, and it is not clear at all, but the last few sentences are that the military rations in the army have been exhausted, and the army will be withdrawn in the near future, and the general's righteousness has been fulfilled, and he only hopes that the next time he will attack, he will not meet the general Yunyun on the battlefield again.
His brows gradually furrowed, Tai Shici looked at the military marquis and said, "Quick, send someone to investigate Cao Ying's movements." ” "Huh" The military marquis agreed, and was about to leave, but saw that outside the barracks, a large group of people blocked the entrance of the barracks.
"Cao Bao" Tai Shici frowned and looked at Cao Bao who was stopped outside the camp gate, and frowned: "General Cao, what does this mean?"
"What do you mean" Cao Bao looked at Tai Shici, and said in a strange manner: "Yesterday, the lord asked me to wait to guard against you, and I still don't believe it, but now it seems that you really have collusion with that Cao Mengde." ” "Presumptuous" Tai Shici's eyes were cold, and he said sharply: "What evidence do you have, you dare to slander me like this" "Slander" Cao Bao sneered and looked at the bamboo note in Tai Shici's hand, and sneered: "But I don't know what you hold in your hand."
"I was about to inform Tao Gong that this is Cao Mengde's letter" Speaking of this, Tai Shici was suddenly stunned, and at this moment he was a little surprised, this is clearly Cao Cao's plan to divide the sky Cao Bao sneered again and again, looked at Tai Shici's expression, thought that he was at a loss, and said disdainfully: "I also said that I didn't collude with that Cao Cao." ” "I won't argue with you, I will explain to Tao Gong, you get out of the way, I will personally go and explain it to Tao Gong."
Tai Shi Ci frowned, this Cao Leopard, he had saved his life before, don't say that he didn't collude with that Cao Cao at all, even if there is something dirty, he shouldn't be so cold and ridiculed, this person is really a villain.
"No need, when Cao Cao wrote to you, I had already sent someone to inform the lord, and I think it was almost there."
Cao Bao sneered.
"It's okay" Tai Shici also had some anger in his chest at the moment, he was here to help, and he didn't have any intentions for Xuzhou, this Tao Qian didn't believe in himself, and even sent someone to secretly imprison himself, no matter how good his temper was, when he encountered this kind of thing, he had to blow up.
What's more, as a military general, how can he not have a little temper, he glanced at Cao Bao coldly at the moment, and shouted loudly: "All the soldiers listen to the order" The generals took a step forward and saluted.
"The swords and guns are unsheathed, the bows and arrows are wound, show me these chaotic troops, regardless of the soldiers, but if there is any abnormal movement, immediately shoot those who dare to resist, and divide the corpses with knives" Tai Shi Ci snorted coldly and shouted loudly.
Although they are not the elite of a hundred battles like Cao Jun, they are also trained by Tai Shi Ci for several months, and have experienced several battles, with Tai Shi Ci and other tiger generals in front, there is naturally a big gap between the spirit and the Xuzhou army.
"You dare" Cao Bao couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, and pointed at Tai Shici and was about to scold.
"General Cao, you'd better pay attention to me, don't point your dirty finger at me, I am the general of the imperial court canonization and control Qingzhou, even Tao Gong, and I have no right to imprison me, but a small school captain, dare to block my camp, you know, this general is going to kill you immediately, Tao Gong can't do anything to me" Tai Shi Ci's cold eyes were like lightning, fell on Cao Bao, and shouted loudly.
"I" Cao Bao still wanted to say something, seeing Tai Shici's cold eyes, his chest was suffocated, and when he saw the other party looking at his fingers, he quickly withdrew his arm, and said with some nervousness: "When the lord comes, I will reason with you."
Tai Shi Ci snorted coldly, ignored him, and sat directly outside the handsome tent, closing his eyes and waiting.
After a while, Tao Qian took Mi Fang, Chen Deng, Xiao Jian and others to Xuzhou Wenwu, and from afar, he could feel the tense atmosphere, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly lined up the crowd, rushed in, looked at the Qingzhou army that was eyeing him, and frowned: "General Ziyi, what does this mean?"
"Collect the troops" Tai Shici waved his hand, and suddenly thousands of Qingzhou soldiers withdrew their swords and retreated to the sides, but they still looked at the Xuzhou troops surrounding them.

"If it's superfluous, the last general doesn't want to mention it again."
Tai Shi Ci handed the bamboo note in his hand to Tao Qian and said: "This is the letter that Cao Cao ordered someone to shoot before, saying that there is a shortage of food in the army, and he is ready to retreat, and he wanted to discuss with Tao Gong about sending troops to pursue, but now it seems that Ci has overstepped his authority." ” When Tao Qian heard this, he hurriedly opened the bamboo paper, just looking at the content on the bamboo paper, Tao Qian's brows gradually frowned.
Xiao Jian, who was on the side, was sharp-eyed, and saw that there were a lot of smearing marks on the bamboo paper, and couldn't help but sneer: "General Ziyi, I don't know why there are so many smears on this bamboo paper, and how the general wants to explain."
"Why do I have to explain" Tai Shi Ci glanced at Xiao Jian coldly, stood up, looked at Tao Qian with a gloomy face and said: "I wanted to discuss the pursuit with Tao Gong, but now it seems that it is not necessary." ” "The stakes are big, our army is tired of being defeated by the Cao army, and pursuing at this time may spoil the Cao army's calculations."
Tao Qian shook his head and said.
"That being the case, Cao Jun has retreated, and the last general should also return to Qingzhou to resume his life, and I hope that Tao Gong will let him go."
Tai Shi Ci saw that this Tao Qian had long been suspicious of himself, and now that Cao Jun had retreated, he didn't want to continue to stay in Xuzhou to suffer from these birds, so he immediately got up and said.
"Ziyi is leaving," Tao Qian looked at Tai Shici in amazement.
"Qingzhou still has military affairs, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, please let Tao Gong go."
Tai Shi Ci nodded, although he had almost torn his face, but after all, there was still a layer of relationship with Kong Rong, and he didn't want to get too stiff with Tao Qian, as for the future, it would depend on how the military advisor arranged.
"Since the general has made up his mind, he will not force the general to stay."
Tao Qian nodded, and immediately ordered Cao Bao and others to withdraw, the morale of the Xuzhou army was low, and a Cao Cao had already made them anxious, at this time, if it really annoyed Tai Shici, the two sides turned against each other, and it was really worse for Xuzhou. t1706231537:
