The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

Xun Yu said to Cao Cao:"My lord, now the Zhou thieves have occupied Puyang, Zhang Chao, Wang Kai, Chen Gong and others have all rebelled. In Yanzhou, our army only has Juancheng, Fancheng, Dong'a and several other cities and counties all rebelled and stopped sending food to the army."

A family that succeeds also loses.

It was the aristocratic family that welcomed Cao Cao into Yanzhou, and it was also the aristocratic family that stabbed Cao Cao in the back at his most critical moment.

Although Zhou Cheng's interference changed the historical trend and Lu Bubing did not enter Yanzhou at this time, after Cao Cao entered Xuzhou and broke the city, he even massacred innocent people, which had caused dissatisfaction among Chen Gong and others.

And that's just the surface.

The point is that Cao Cao's behavior made the wealthy family feel uneasy.

Because Cao Cao insisted on attacking Xuzhou, Xuzhou was easily invaded by Zhou Cheng, threatening the interests of the wealthy families.

Therefore, after Chen Gong and others took the lead in the rebellion, the attitude of the counties and counties in Yanzhou was a true reflection of their dissatisfaction with Cao Cao.

Xi Zhicai said"My lord, the army will be stationed in Juancheng first to stabilize Jiyin County and ensure the supply of food and fodder. Only in this way can we be invincible."

"Um."Although Cao Cao wanted to seek revenge on Zhou Cheng immediately, compared with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao knew how to take the advice of those around him.

Under Cao Cao's order,

Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others led their troops to Dingtao, Baima, Yan County, Counties such as Dunqiu and Weiguo can be used to appease or suppress rebellion.

In short, if the counties in Jiyin County refuse to provide grain, fodder, and young people, Cao Cao will not be polite.

……

Mrs. Bian is a beautiful woman, and she has a different flavor compared to Lu Bu's wife, Mrs. Yan.

Zhou Cheng asked Mrs. Bian to sleep with him at night. Although she didn't want to, she couldn't resist if Zhou Cheng wanted to.

However, Zhou Cheng was not addicted to women. He still got up very early every day.

As for Mrs. Bian, she witnessed Zhou Cheng getting up, but she could only close her eyes and cry. Her chastity was insulted and she wanted to die. However, her hands and feet were tied and there was no chance.

"Why cry and cry. Zhou Cheng looked at Mrs. Bian and said,"You can do whatever you want with me from now on.""

When Mrs. Bian heard this, she cried even more sadly.

This evil thief is really hateful!

Zhou Cheng ignored Mrs. Bian, put on his clothes and armor, and went outside to practice martial arts.

It is necessary to practice every morning on special days, otherwise Zhou Cheng paused.

At this time, Xu Fang came in and said to Zhou Cheng:"My lord, Cao Mengde stationed in Juancheng and did not continue to march."

Those who want to achieve great things must be humble.

Cao Cao's wife and daughter were taken away by Zhou Cheng, and Puyang's money and food supplies fell into the hands of Zhou Cheng. If it were Yuan Shao, he would come to Zhou Cheng to fight for his life.

However, Cao Cao calmed down now. After all, in Yanzhou, in addition to Zhou Cheng, who was a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, there were also rebellions by Chen Gong, Zhang Chao, Wang Kai and others. The counties and counties in Yanzhou were all rebelling, and Cao Cao wanted to appease or suppress them. It all takes time.

After the imperial meal, Zhou Cheng, Jia Xu, Li Ru and others held a meeting in the tent.

Zhou Cheng said:"According to reports from the scouts, Chen Gong, Zhang Chao, Wang Kai and others all rebelled against Cao Cao, and all counties in Yanzhou The county responded. Now Cao Mengde only has a few cities left in his hands. They are already short of food and fodder. I intend to lead the army to attack them tomorrow."

Jia Xu said:"My lord, any method of attacking a city is the worst strategy and must be done as a last resort. Cao Mengde has many people but little food and no rescue outside. He can be trapped slowly. The art of war is: he is as slow as a forest. Li

Ru also stood up and said:"What Wen He said is absolutely true. Cao Mengde still has 70,000 troops. If he attacks directly, our army will suffer heavy casualties. If we can trap him in the city, the morale of Cao's army will be low." , the morale of the army was shattered, and Cao Mengde was bound to be defeated."

Both Jia Xu and Li Ru did not agree to continue to attack the city.

If more than 70,000 Cao troops defended Juancheng, then Zhou Cheng would have to pay a heavy price for attacking Juancheng.

Even if he could win, it would be a tragic victory.

And for those who are proficient in the art of war, As far as counselors are concerned, siege warfare is the least technical thing to do. If they had a choice, they would definitely not choose to siege the city.

In the eyes of Jia Xu and Li Ru, Cao Cao now has more soldiers and less food, and no reinforcements to help. The aristocratic families in Yanzhou also turned against him.

In this way, as long as Zhou Cheng leads his army to surround Juancheng and slowly press forward, he can completely crush Cao's army in terms of morale.

Zhou Cheng thought for a while and agreed.

Then , Jia Xu said again:"My lord, you can recommend Zhang Chao to be the shepherd of Yanzhou. At the same time, send people to lobby Zhang Chao to temporarily attach himself to our army.""

"Um."Zhou Cheng also agreed.

……

In October 1941, after Zhou Cheng had just captured Puyang, he did not immediately lead his army and went directly to Juancheng to attack Cao Cao.

Instead, after occupying Puyang City, they slowly sent out troops and marched towards Puyang City.

Although the marching speed was not fast, the pressure on Cao Cao was stronger.

Xu Rulin gives the impression that he is stable and it is difficult to find flaws!

At the same time, Zhou Cheng also sent Wen Sheng to lobby Zhang Chao.

Zhang Chao is Zhang Miao's younger brother. Although he is not as famous as Zhang Miao, many people in Yanzhou know him.

When Wen Sheng entered the city, Chen Gong happened to be in the city as well.
