Disappointed, he decided to go to war with Xuzhou in a rage, and sent Zhang Liao as the vanguard and led 3,000 troops to Xiaopei. On the pretext of attacking the ungrateful Tao Qian and his son, he asked his ally Liu Bei to send troops to help, and also told that the main force of Lu Bu's army was about to go south.

Uncle Liu Huang, who had been dreaming about the peaceful division of Xuzhou's land, money and food, felt that things were a bit too smooth, but in order not to miss the opportunity, he agreed to the ally's request and decided to form an alliance with Lu Bu to fight against Tao Qian...

After all, Xuzhou is a bit far away from Chen Guojun. When Chen Deng sent an emergency messenger and was still speeding on the road, our Deputy Director Tao couldn't wait to lead the Junzi Army in person to set off southward, passing through the small county of Nandun and passing through the uninhabited central part of Runan.

District, go straight to Yangshan Mountain east of Runan County, go there to destroy Boss Cao's plan to rob grain, and use all means to weaken Cao Cao, Xuzhou's most dangerous enemy.

In this southern expedition, Tao Ying did not bring any infantry except for the cavalry of the Junzi Army, because it was absolutely impossible to bring food back this time, and Cao Jun, who was starving and red-eyed, never wanted to go back.

This will give Tao Ying a chance to bring the grain back to Xuzhou, so this time, Tao Ying has already made up his mind - set fire to burn all the money and grain of Brother He Yi!

You will encounter ghosts after going up the mountain too much. This time, Deputy Director Tao finally made a miscalculation. When the Junzi Army rushed day and night to the Jianshui River, which is less than forty miles away from Yangshan, the other side of the Jianshui River was the only bridge in this area.

, a Cao army had already been prepared, and temporary fortifications such as horse and deer antlers were built to guard the bridge. Cao Hong, the general of the Cao army who led the team, smiled and shouted loudly, "Master Tao, my lord has said that you will definitely come to help our army carry food and grass, but

No need, thank you very much for your kindness, sir, we have some people ourselves, so please come back, sir."

"Thief Cao! He is indeed treacherous! He has never believed in me!" Deputy Director Tao muttered in a low voice, wondering why Cao Cao didn't trust me so much. He even suspected that I would come to cause trouble again. He arranged for troops to guard the ferry in advance.

So someone who doesn’t keep his word?

The grievance was a grievance, but Tao Ying still refused to suffer. He held his hand across the water to Cao Hong, who was still wounded by an arrow, and said with a smile: "General Cao Hong, please don't misunderstand me. I am really worried about Meng Degong."

We are short of manpower, so I came here to ask if I would like to send a team of civilian workers over to help?"

"Thank you, but I still don't need it." Cao Hong said with a smile on his face, but his voice was vicious: "I don't dare to deceive Mr. Tao. In fact, as early as yesterday, our army had already broken through Yangshan and beheaded He Man! Catch him!

Tens of thousands of prisoners have arrived! So you don’t have to worry about the people transporting food!"

"Yesterday, Yangshan was captured? Cao Cao's hands and feet are so fast." Tao Ying was startled and asked Chen Dao beside him without giving up: "Uncle Zhi, you are a native of Runan, Jianshui."

Are there any other ferries or bridges across the river upstream and downstream?”

"There are both upstream and downstream, but the ferry upstream is too far away. It is right next to Zhipingyu City in Runan County and is controlled by the Runan army." Chen Dao quickly replied: "There are two downstream, and one is near Gepiwu.

, less than thirty miles away from here, and there is another one in Geling, about forty miles away."

"Go!" Tao Ying immediately ordered to go down the river without thinking, "I don't believe it. Cao Cao can block all the ferry bridges in this area?!"

The order was conveyed, and the Junzi Army, who had never been afraid of long-distance attacks, immediately turned their horses and rushed downstream. Cao Jun found that something was wrong, and his left and right deputies quickly came to Cao Hong and said nervously: "General, it's not good, Tao Ying

The kid went downstream, he must have gone downstream to find a ferry to cross the river, what if we can’t catch up with him?”

"Not afraid." Cao Hong smiled happily and said, "It's just a coincidence. I just received the news that my lord has personally led his army to Gepiwu, a ferry downstream. If Tao Ying goes downstream, he will just happen to run into the main force of our army.

So we don’t need to chase, we just need to send fast horses to report to the lord."

"My lord went to Gepiwu? Why?" Everyone on the left and right were surprised.

"There is a mysterious warrior in Gepiwu Fort. He first captured He Yi and then defeated General Dian Wei." Cao Hong replied: "Although General Dian Wei was injured, he was able to defeat the injured General Dian Wei.

A strong man is quite impressive. My lord was so curious that he led the troops himself." (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.)
