Chapter 510: Chen Wen is soft, Cao Cao enters Yang
Chapter 510: Chen Wen surrenders and Cao Cao becomes Yang
Cao Hong rode his horse to Xi Zhicai and reported to him what was going on.
"Slow down, Chen Wen's people are coming."
Hearing Cao Hong's words, the corners of Xi Zhicai's lips slightly raised, "You are too young to play psychological warfare with me."
Facing Xi Zhicai who was slowing down, Chen Wen easily caught up with them.
"Mr. Xi Zhicai came out to speak."
Chen Wen got out of the carriage and shouted to Xi Zhicai.
"How dare you be the governor of Xi when he leaves?"
Xi Zhicai got out of the carriage and cupped his fists at Chen Wen opposite.
"Sir, you are joking. Harmony will benefit both sides, but division will harm both sides. I, Chen Wen, still understand. Meng De comes here sincerely. How can I, Chen Wen, be a villain? We are all fighting for the great man, let alone borrowing land to cultivate. Even if I am allowed
It doesn’t matter if Chen Wen gives up his position as governor.”
Looking at Xi Zhicai's livid face, Chen Wen had no choice but to clasp his fists and say polite words.
"Then the governor agrees with my lord's entry into Yangzhou?"
After hearing Chen Wen's words, Xi Zhicai's pale face turned rosy.
"Well, I agree with Meng De entering Yangzhou."
Chen Wenchong and Xi Zhicai nodded heavily.
"Then I don't know where Mr. Chen plans to let my lord recuperate. I think Danyang County is good."
Xi Zhicai glanced at Chen Wen and directly said that he wanted to go to Danyang County.
"Danyang County?"
Chen Wen looked at Xi Zhicai and his expression changed involuntarily.
You must know that the most important of the six counties in Yangzhou is Danyang County, because Danyang County has been a place of elite soldiers since ancient times. Cao Cao, Tao Qian and other princes, including their own main force, are all Danyang soldiers. If Cao Cao occupies Danyang County, who knows his strength?
How much will it expand?
Danyang County is also adjacent to Jiujiang County. If Cao Cao is really evil, then he will be in too much danger.
"Xi Zhicai is joking. Who doesn't know the importance of Danyang? We really come here for Yangzhou, how could we behave like a villain? As long as Mr. Chen will temporarily lend Wu County to my master for training, I will be very grateful.
Already."
Xi Zhicai suddenly smiled. The reason why he talked about Danyang first and Wu County later was to express his feelings to Chen Wen so that he would not put Cao Cao's shoes on.
"Zhicai, Zhicai, then Wujun will temporarily borrow Mengde to recuperate."
Chen Wen's face became a little better when he heard that Xi Zhicai said it was a joke. He was just a Wu Commandery, so there was no harm in giving it to Cao Cao.
"Then Zhicai would like to thank the governor on behalf of my lord."
Xi Zhicai saluted Chen Wen on the carriage.
"Sir, you don't need to be polite. It's better to come back to the city with me now. I'm not ready to entertain you yet."
Chen Wen did not shy away from Xi Zhicai's gift, because it was what he deserved. Not to mention Xi Zhicai, even if Cao Cao came in person, this gift was what he deserved.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be so polite. Time is running out now. The lord's army is coming to Yangzhou. I will go and report the news to him right now."
Although Chen Wen said so, how could Xi Zhicai stay in Shouchun now? He could not wait to fly to Cao Cao immediately and tell his lord the news.
"In this case, I won't keep you here. I will make arrangements for Wu County. When Meng De arrives, I will personally wait for you at Wu County."
Xi Zhicai has said so, and Chen Wen has no need to stop him.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Chen. I'll take my leave."
"Bon Voyage."
In this way, a loose alliance between Cao Cao and Chen Wen was temporarily formed. Cao Cao used Wu Commandery to temporarily rest and recuperate, while Chen Wen used Cao Cao's power to resist Yuan Shu who might attack him, and at the same time, he could also deter Yuan Shao in the west.
"My lord, Cao Ren led an army of 20,000 people from Jibei Kingdom to Xuzhou. However, Cao Ren's army, which has joined Cao Ren, has left Langya Kingdom and is heading towards Donghai Kingdom."
Cao Cao and Yuan Shu were very close, and each other's actions were clearly known to each other. As soon as Cao Cao made a move, Yuan Shu got the news.
"Cao Cao still dares to attack Donghai Kingdom. What does Cao Cao want to do?"
Hearing that Cao Cao still dared to attack Donghai Kingdom with all his strength, Yuan Shu couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Lord, why do I feel that there is something fishy about Cao Cao going south?"
When Tian Feng heard the battle report, his eyes were filled with thought.
"Well, it is indeed strange. Logically speaking, it is the most correct choice for him to withdraw to Yanzhou now, but now he has recruited Cao Ren from Yanzhou to Xuzhou. It is likely to sink the ship. Could it be said that he wants to escape?"
Yuan Shu thought for a while and came up with a statement that he couldn't even believe.
"I have to escape, I have to escape, yes, my lord, Cao Cao is going to escape."
After hearing Yuan Shu's words, a flash of light flashed in Tian Feng's head, and Cao Cao was about to escape.
"No."
Although this point of view was put forward by himself, Tian Feng said it a second time, but he couldn't believe it himself.
"Lord, we previously deduced that the main reason why Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, besides wanting to avenge his father, was that he wanted to escape from Yanzhou.
The reason why he dared to attack Xuzhou aggressively was because the temptation of Yanzhou was greater than that of Xuzhou. Cao Cao thought that we would attack Yanzhou first, and after we captured Yanzhou, he would have almost consolidated Xuzhou.
But the lord had the foresight to attack Xuzhou first, which disrupted Cao Cao's plan.
Now his strength is vastly different from that of his lord. When the lord comes, he has only two options, either to be beaten or to retreat.
Now it is obvious that Cao Cao urgently recruited Cao Ren from Jibei Kingdom to go south, so he chose to retreat.
It's just that the direction of his retreat is not Yanzhou as we preset, but southward, maybe Yuan Shao in Nanyang or Chen Wen in Yangzhou."
According to the information currently obtained, Cao Cao is most likely to escape. If he cannot defeat Yuan Shu, he will hide far away.
"Well, what you said makes sense, so what should we do now?
Cao Cao is an evil dragon. If he has a chance, he can sprout wings from his ribs and soar into the sky."
Although Cao Cao chose to retreat, Yuan Shu obviously did not want to let him go.
"My lord, as you said, Cao Cao is an evil dragon, but Chen Wen and Yuan Shao are not vegetarians. No matter whether Cao Cao goes to Nanyang or Yangzhou, nothing will happen in the short term, but as time goes by, it will inevitably collapse internally.
We can just watch the show, and now we have more important things to do."
Although Yuan Shu wanted to kill Cao Cao with one blow, Tian Feng did not agree to do so. It is true that Cao Cao is a tyrant, but tyrannies also have their uses.
Just like the internal conflict between Liu Bei and Cao Cao before, now they can completely replicate the situation in Yanzhou in Yangzhou or Nanyang. Besides, they have more important things to do now.
"Nothing is more important than Cao Cao."
Although I care about Cao Cao very much, if there are more important things, then that is another matter.
"My lord, now that Cao Cao has withdrawn his last strength from Yanzhou, Liu Bei will definitely take advantage of the situation to occupy the entire Yanzhou. If he really completes the unification, it will be difficult to suppress him again."
