Chapter 414

Cao Cao was very happy, because his power was at the height of his power recently, and he successfully subdued a million yellow scarf thieves in Qingzhou, and his strength increased greatly for a while. Although Yuan Shao won the battle of Jieqiao, Gongsun Zan's prestige and foundation in Youzhou are deep, and he is a centipede who is dead but not stiff. It may take a while for Yuan Shao to unify Hebei.

Cao Cao felt that the world seemed to be able to fight for it.

"My lord!"

At this moment, Xun Yu suddenly walked in like the wind, with a hasty expression on his face, Cao Cao couldn't help but look surprised. You must know that Xun Yu has always been a gentleman, and the mountain collapsed in front of him without changing his face. How could he have such a face now? ?

Suddenly, Cao Cao seemed to sense something was wrong: "Wen Ruo, what's wrong?"

Xun Yu quickly walked up to Cao Cao and glanced at him.

"My lord, the old man"

"Huh?" Cao Cao's complexion changed, and he forced himself to be calm: "Wen Ruo, but it doesn't matter."

"My lord, Mr. Tao Qian sent troops to escort the old grandpa and his party, but Zhang Kai, the captain under his command, took advantage of the money and killed the old grandpa and more than 80 people," Xun Yu said in a low voice.

"What?" Cao Cao only felt a buzzing in his head, as if something had exploded, and a strong pain filled his mind, like thousands of needles being pricked.

"I'm angry, I'm angry!" Cao Cao's face was red, he was at a loss, walking back and forth in the hall, his face was terribly red, and his eyes almost shot red.

"My lord, the old grandpa was assassinated, the lord's mood can be understood, but..."

"Shut up, call the generals!" Cao Cao slapped the table, roaring like a wild animal, and fixed his eyes on Xun Yu.

"Oh." Xun Yu sighed, and said helplessly, "I'll go here."

After all, Xun Yu went out, not because he was unwilling to stop Cao Cao, but because he had followed Cao Cao for too long and knew Cao Cao well. Now Cao Cao has been completely enraged, and it is almost impossible to stop him. Still don't waste your tongue.

As Cao Cao's chief military adviser, Xun Yu's mind was fully mobilized, how to dispatch the generals, how to raise food and grass, soon entered the state.

Although Liu Ye is invincible, he spends a lot of food and grass in successive years of military campaigns. It is estimated that it will be difficult to extend his palm to Xuzhou. With Yuan Shao as an ally and the bloody battle with Gongsun Zan just now, it is estimated that he will not send troops.

The only thing to worry about is Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu himself is Tao Qian's ally, and he has always been very happy. Although he failed head-on with Liu Ye, there is no guarantee that he will not look at Qingzhou.

Soon after, Cao Jun, Wen and Wu had gathered in the conference hall. Cao Cao's family generals Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong brothers, Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu and other civil servants were all heroes of the time.

Cao Cao's head was wrapped in a white cloth, his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Tao Qian! If you indulge the bandits and kill my father, how can you be a son of man if you don't avenge your revenge?"

"My lord!" The chief general Xia Houdun stepped forward suddenly, clasped his fists and said, "The old grandpa was killed. Although Zhang Kai was killed by a thief, Tao Qian must have ordered him behind. His name is Dian Wei, he can chase a tiger across a stream, and he will eventually be willing to be the vanguard!"

Cao Cao looked intently, and saw a big man standing behind Xiahoudun's table with arms folded, with a beard all over his face, a pair of tiger eyes shining brightly, and the veins on his arms were like old roots. He nodded.

"Okay! Xiahou Dun leads 20,000 troops in the vanguard, Dian Wei and Le Jin are assistants, and Cheng Yu is the military counselor with the army."

"promise!"

Cao Cao looked around at Wenwu in the tent, and said loudly: "A certain person personally led 30,000 elite soldiers into the Chinese army, Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong, and Xi Zhicai accompanied him."

"Wen Ruo, you stay in Linzi, stationed in Qingzhou with Cao Ren, transshipment of grain and grass, there must be no mistakes." Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and said.

"No." Xun Yu agreed, but frowned and said, "My lord, there are too many troops mobilized this time. Our army has just taken in hundreds of thousands of yellow scarf thieves. There is a huge gap in food and grass. I'm afraid it won't last long in terms of food and grass. .”

Cao Cao frowned. The reason why he mobilized 50,000 troops this time was to frighten Xuzhou, but the problem of food and grass is indeed difficult to solve. As the saying goes, the emperor will not send hungry soldiers, if the food and grass are not enough.

"If my lord doesn't dislike it, Yu has a plan here." Cheng Yu said suddenly.

"Come quickly."

Cheng Yu said unhurriedly: "I heard that old man Tao Qian won the hearts of the people in Xuzhou. Our army must encounter many obstacles when attacking Xuzhou. My lord can break through the city, slaughter the whole city, and then take the flesh from the dead bodies. Cut it off, marinate it and make it into meat, which is called 'human dried meat'."

"In this way, not only can the problem of food and grass be solved, but also Xuzhou City can be informed that if the Lord surrenders, the people under the lord's rule will be able to kill the grass and roots!" Cheng Yu sneered: "In this way, Xuzhou must be The people will definitely not dare to resist the lord's soldiers, and they will surely surrender!"

So vicious!

Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu looked at Cheng Yu at the same time, each with their own feelings.

"My lord, you must not!" Xun Yu hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world. Xiang Yu burned the Afang Palace and killed 200,000 Qin troops, but lost the hearts of the Qin people in Guanzhong. Gaozu made three chapters to win the hearts of the Qin people. The people of Qin attacked and killed King Xiang with swords. If my lord slaughtered the people of Xuzhou, the people of Xuzhou would definitely resist with all their strength, and the people of the world would lose the hearts of the people. It is absolutely unacceptable."

"No, no!" Cheng Yu shook his head and retorted: "Just now, someone has already said something beforehand. Those who resist in the corner will be wiped out. If they surrender, they will let it go. The culprit is Old Tao Qian. Those who are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light will naturally be treated equally. If you continue to follow Tao Qian, you will be an accomplice!"

"What's more, if we don't take human preserved food, how can we solve the problem of food and grass, Brother Wen Ruo?" Cheng Yu asked.

Xun Yu shook his head: "For food and grass, I will do my best to raise money, but this strategy of saving people and massacring the city is absolutely unacceptable."

After finishing speaking, Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao, raised his head and said, "My lord, please make a clear decision."

Cheng Yu also said: "My lord, please make a clear decision!"

Cao Cao's eyes were deep, and he snorted, "Old man Tao Qian killed my father, this revenge must be avenged! Wen Ruo, you can prepare food and grass, and Zhong De will be in charge of the human preserves."

Cheng Yu smiled slightly, and Cao Cao accepted his strategy, which would be his opening door in Cao Ying.

"Ah..." Xun Yu sighed imperceptibly, and shook his head helplessly.

"Okay, all the generals go down and prepare separately, attack Xuzhou, and dominate the Central Plains!"

"promise!"

All the generals obeyed Cao Cao's order and went down to prepare, and Qingzhou was in a hurry.
