    When an army goes out on an expedition, they must kill a green ox and a white horse to sacrifice the flag, in order to pray for the blessings of the gods for a smooth war and a safe return. Some of the more extreme generals will even kill people's heads to sacrifice the flag to show their incomparable piety to the gods!

    As for the unlucky guy who was killed, it could be an envoy from the enemy, a captured deserter, or a prisoner taken from prison. Anyway, as long as there is someone on his head to pay tribute to, as for which neck the tribute should come from?  God won't mind if it's cut!

    In Jibei County, outside the city, a grand expedition ceremony is being held. Cao Cao is standing on a high platform holding a sword. The other generals are arrayed on both sides in battle armor. A white horse is tied under the banner of the army with the word "Cao", because it is spring plowing now.  At this time of year, it is unlucky to kill an ox, so I had to use it to sacrifice the flag.

    "Sacrifice the flag, go to war!" Following Cao Cao's order, the shirtless executioner came to the white horse with a ghost-headed sword. He first covered the horse's eyes with a black cloth to prevent it from fear, and then read "Executioner" again.  Internal prayers passed down from generation to generation, in the end there was a flash of sword light and the horse's head fell to the ground!

    An assistant on the side immediately ran up, caught the spurting horse blood with a wooden bucket, and then smeared it on the military chess. This set of military expedition ceremony was over!

    After sacrificing the military flag, the next step is for the soldiers who went on the expedition to say goodbye to their relatives and friends. On this expedition, Cao Cao took his eldest son Cao Ang and his second son Cao Pi with him, hoping that they could train on the bloody battlefield so that they could take charge of the three armies in the future.  , although a little cruel, it reveals a strong fatherly love!

    "I wish you peace and a speedy triumph!" Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Bian took the children to see Cao Cao and his son off. Mrs. Ding served the expedition wine, Mrs. Bian prepared a change of clothes, and the children held advance wishes.  Victory¡¯s pastries can make people happy to death!

    At least Cao Cao¡¯s big mouth has never been closed. As for the brothers Cao Ang and Cao Pi, they are even more excited and nervous at this time!

    Xiao Yi was much more pitiful. Only his sister Xiaojing saw him off, and the gift was only a bowl of expedition wine. The bowl was borrowed from someone else, and the wine was poured from his own wine gourd. Comparing the two,  What a pitiful person!

    Xiao Yi was worried about leaving his sister alone in Shanyang County, so he specially sent someone to pick her up and give her to Mrs. Bian to take care of her. She lived in the general's mansion and usually let her study and play with the Cao Jie sisters.

    "Brother, please take me on an expedition together! I'm not afraid of killing the enemy in battle!" Xiaojing patted the dagger on her waist. This weapon had really drank human blood.

    "No, a little girl should stay in the rear. It's a man's business to go into battle to kill the enemy!" Xiao Yi didn't dare to take her with him. This long-distance attack on Xuzhou must be a fierce battle, too much  It's dangerous. Besides, he doesn't want Xiaojing to get any more blood on her hands. He should let her live a normal and peaceful life. With him here, he can protect her from harm for the rest of her life!

    On the other side, Guo Jia was also saying goodbye to Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others. Out of the four great counselors on this expedition, Cao Cao only took Guo Jia with him, while the other three stayed in Yanzhou to preside over daily government affairs. This was another treat for them.  A kind of trust, the safety of home is far more important than foreign wars!

    At this time, Mrs. Bian came over with several children. She also had clothes, cakes, and daily necessities in her hands. These were specially prepared for Xiao Yi. The specifications were the same as those of the Cao family and his son. "General, you can fight in peace while you are away. Xiao Jing  I will treat her as my own, eat and live with Sister Cao Jie, and I will not suffer any injustice!"

    "Thank you so much, madam. Wuchou will definitely be richly rewarded in the future!" Xiao Yi quickly clasped his fists in thanks. Regardless of whether the other party meant to win over his son, he was still grateful!

    We said goodbye to all the brothers and sisters of the Cao family one by one, especially the three Cao Jie sisters. They almost burst into tears. I really doubt that they cried so much when they saw Cao Cao and his son off just now.

    "Soldiers, go to war!" As the majestic marching drums sounded, Cao Cao, holding a sword, issued the order to go to war!

    With an order, the 60,000-strong army rushed toward Xuzhou like tigers out of the cage. Looking at the iron-clad military formation and the flying military flags, many people couldn't help but shed tears. A few months later, I don't know how many people will come back alive.  How many people will bury their bones in a foreign land and never see each other again? This is war!

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    When Xuzhou heard the news of Cao Jun's massive attack, they immediately went into chaos. People fled into the mountains to avoid the war. Counties and counties were also actively organizing defenses. They buried wells outside the city, burned houses, and hid grain.  , building city walls day and night, preparing to turn Xuzhou's 62 county towns into 62 strong fortresses. Their idea was that even if they could not stop Cao CaoJun, some of his big teeth are going to be broken!

    Just when the defenders from all over Xuzhou held their breath and prepared to defend the city to the death, they were surprised to find that Cao Jun ignored them at all and instead passed by without stopping, making the city defense they had worked so hard to prepare useless.  Waste, it felt like using all your strength to punch and hit the cotton. Not only did it not hurt the other person, but you almost lost your waist!

    "What is Cao Jun going to do?" Looking at the dust going away, the defenders from all over Xuzhou looked at each other. No one knew what to do. Let them go out of the city to intercept?

    ¡°Just kidding, everyone wants to stay away from these plague gods, who dares to take the initiative to provoke them!

    ¡°Besides, the order issued by the Governor was for all counties to defend the city, and did not say that troops would be sent to stop it!

    In this way, Cao Jun advanced all the way. Except for a few unavoidable checkpoints that were breached by force, basically no major battles occurred. It only took five days to advance to the gates of Xuzhou City!

    "Cao's army is coming! Cao's army is fighting to the bottom of the city!"

    The smoke of the alarm rose, and the governor Tao Qian quickly climbed up to the top of the city with a group of civil and military staff. The sight in front of them almost shocked their jaws. Looking around, they saw that the bottom of Xuzhou City had turned into a white ocean, tens of thousands of people  The soldiers of Cao's army were dressed in mourning clothes and holding swords and guns, rolling in. In the center of the formation was a tall flag - revenge!

    According to the estimates of Tao Qian and others, it would take Cao Jun one or two months to reach Xuzhou City after attacking from city to city. With this time, they could easily organize defenses, raise the city walls, hoard food and grass, and replenish  Soldiers, prepare for all battles, but who would have thought that the opponent's magical soldiers would descend from the sky and reach the city in just five days, catching them by surprise!

    "Please answer me in front of Mr. Cao!" Tao Qian leaned on the city wall and shouted loudly, "I have no grudges against you at all. I sent troops to escort my father out of good intentions. How could I know that it was self-defeating and caused such a disaster?"  , I also hope that Duke Cao will take pity on me, the innocent people of Xuzhou, and withdraw his troops. I, the governor, would like to give you 200,000 dendrobiums of grain and rice, and 30,000 pieces of cloth as gifts. How about ****?"

    "Old Tao Qian, the hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable. If I don't take your head today, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" Cao Cao, wearing a manuscript, leaped forward on his horse and cursed loudly.

    It is true that Cao Cao raised the army this time to avenge his father, but it is also true that he wanted to take Xuzhou. He wanted some grain, rice, and cloth to make him retreat. What a joke, he wanted them all!

    "My lord, it's useless to talk any more. The enemy troops are already approaching the city. The general is not willing to take a group of troops out of the city to meet Cao Cao and see if he is a three-headed and six-armed man!"

    The speaker was Cao Bao, the Sima of the other divisions in Xuzhou. He was from a distinguished family. He had always been famous for being "familiar with military books and knowledgeable about military strategies." Later, he was recruited by Tao Qian to be responsible for Xuzhou's military preparations, because he always thought of himself very highly.  Gao, arrogant, and under the flattery of a bunch of sycophants, he proclaimed himself the title of "Xuzhou's No. 1 General"!

    When the Eighteenth Route Princes attacked Dong, Cao Bao was responsible for staying in Xuzhou, so he had no dealings with Cao Cao and others. Ignorance is fearless. Instead, he became the most determined militant in Xuzhou, wanting to show off in front of the two armies.  skill!

    "Well, that's fine, the general needs to be more careful!" Tao Qian also knew that it would be impossible not to fight at this point, so let's go out and give it a try. What if we win?

    With the sound of drums, the city gates of Xuzhou opened wide and the suspension bridge was lowered. Cao Bao led a group of men and horses to rush out of the city and showed off their power in front of the two armies. "I am Cao Bao, the number one general in Xuzhou. Who dares to fight with me for three days?"  A hundred rounds?¡±

    "Xiao Lang, bring this man's head back to me!" Cao Cao waved his whip and sent out his trump card. This first battle was crucial, so he didn't hesitate to use a bull's-eye to kill a chicken!

    "No!" Xiao Yi touched his nose, stretched out his hand to pull down Chi You's ghost helmet, and waved the gilded phoenix-winged drill in his hand to directly attack Cao Bao. Since the opponent is known as the number one general in Xuzhou, he should have a chance, and he still needs to use his full strength!

    Cao Bao was slightly startled when he saw a general wearing a ghost face rushing out. He heard from his colleagues who had participated in the Hulao Pass battle that there was a "Ghost Face Xiao Lang" who was very impressive. Could it be this person?  ?

    Xiao Yi leaped forward and rushed forward. He smashed the gilded phoenix-winged boring machine with all his strength in his hand. As a result, the opponent's spear was knocked away with just one blow. Then the boring blade was lightly picked, and Cao Bao's frightened head fell.  Flying into the sky, even before he died, he couldn't understand that he was 'the best general in Xuzhou'?  Why did he lose in two rounds

    "I thought he was a powerful character, but he turned out to be a scumbag!" After provoking Cao Bao's head, Xiao Yi spat contemptuously and returned to the commander's banner to hand over orders to Cao Cao. The whole process was extremely fast, almost in one go.  Brought back the enemy general¡¯s head!

    "Xiao Lang is mighty! Xiao Lang is mighty!" Cao Jun's soldiers cheered wildly, and their morale was greatly boosted!

    Looking at the people in Xuzhou, everyone¡¯s face was ashen. Tao Qian, the governor, was so shocked that he almost fell off the city wall. ¡°Is this the end of my best general in Xuzhou?¡±

    "Soldiers, attack the city!" Cao Cao pulled out his sword and took the opportunity to issue an order for the entire army to attack!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The soldiers of the army cheered wildly and their morale was greatly boosted!
