Chapter 129: The Flooding of Xiapi (Part 1)

Chen Qun, dressed in a scholarly robe, appeared extremely calm. "Tao Qian, this treacherous dog, has committed such atrocious acts that have enraged the heavens and the people. How can I continue to serve such a subordinate!"

Chen Qun paused for a moment and smiled slightly, "Besides, Fengxiao and I have been close friends since we were young, and we understand each other well. If Tao Qian is not worth my loyalty, then I don't mind serving the same Lord as my good friend."

"Becoming close friends?"

"Yes, back in the days at Yingchuan Academy, there was also Wenruo. The three of us would gather every day after classes to discuss ancient and contemporary matters while enjoying fine wine!"

Mi Zhu and Mi Fang suddenly realized and were also somewhat shocked. Chen Qun actually had such deep connections with the Cao army. It is known that Xun Yu is a major administrator in the Cao army, while Guo Jia is the chief military strategist. They are both close friends with the two chief civilian officials of the Cao army. Yet Chen Qun still served under Tao Qian, the Governor of Xu Province.

Is it possible that Guo Fengxiao started laying out his plans five years ago? This guy, Guo Fengxiao, is too terrifying! Five years ago, he should have been under twenty (the age of adulthood), yet he already possessed such cunning and calculating nature. Could he be the reincarnation of Gan Luo?

Mi Zhu and Mi Fang also felt a chill creeping through their bodies, their backs drenched in sweat. They were now deeply convinced that their decision to join forces with Cao Cao was a wise one. Chen Deng, who was watching their reactions, could empathize with them. When he first learned that Chen Qun was the contact person sent by Wu Dun, the Supervisor of Xuzhou, from Mingjing Hall, he was also extremely surprised and had a hard time believing it.

Chen Qun appeared calm and composed on the surface, but inside he was bursting with laughter. Guo Jia is not as impressive as he seems. Just five years ago, he had barely decided to join Yuan Shao and was already thinking of establishing a base in Xuzhou. Moreover, how could this guy have the audacity to join Tao Qian's forces undercover for so many years? It was because my father, Chen Ji, was incessantly bothered by Tao Qian for recruitment that he pushed Chen Qun out. When it comes to the reasons for Guo Jia joining Yuan Shao, it's a strikingly similar situation.

Guo Fengxiao, Guo Fengxiao, you owe me a treat, you know? Just look at how many people I've helped deceive! If you don't invite me for a few drinks or ask Cao Cao to grant me a high-ranking position and fortune, I won't let it go with you!

However, Chen Qun's appearance did not actually convey any meaningful information. After all, he could not completely ensure that Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, and Chen Deng were genuinely surrendering to the Cao army. Moreover, it involved Guo Jia's plan to conquer Xiaopei and the strategies to breach its defenses. His explanation to the three individuals was simply to "control the defending troops at the four gates of Xiaopei, then have them defend the city walls as much as possible. When the city is on the brink of being captured, they should open the gates to welcome the Cao army while also preventing Tao Qian from escaping."

————————————————————————————————————

On the tenth day of the first month of the second year of Jian'an (196 AD), the Cao army took a full ten days of rest, allowing the exhausted soldiers to fully recover both physically and mentally. They regained the determination and morale they had when they first launched the attack on Xuzhou. It was clear to everyone that Tao Qian's days were numbered, and the thoughts of the Cao soldiers were simple: achieve success and return home!

Only Xupu Country, Pengcheng Country and Guangling County remain untaken in Xuzhou. The soldiers of the Cao army are confident that capturing the entire Xuzhou will pose no problem. With the war coming to an end, they eagerly await rewards for their contributions and the opportunity to reunite with their families at home!

Cao Cao sent Xiahou Yuan's Jibu Army to attack Guangling County, aiming to take advantage of the fact that our Cao army is currently besieging Xupu and cannot attend to Guangling County, catching them off guard. Meanwhile, Li Dian's Xuanwu Army is deployed to attack Pengcheng State. Most of the troops from this state and county have been called back by Tao Qian to defend Xupu City.

Nowadays, there are sixty-five thousand soldiers and horses guarding the vast city of Xu Zhou, including Xiazhuang. To be honest, it is indeed difficult for the Cao army to capture it. Xiazhuang City has high walls and strong gates, with corner towers at all four corners. Even the four gates of east, south, west, and north are equipped with turrets. If the Cao army forcefully attacks Xiazhuang City, although they will eventually be able to capture it, even the extremely elite Cao soldiers will definitely suffer heavy casualties!

"Fengxiao, I have noticed that you have been having Wu Dun deliver letters for you every day lately. It's either because you have a girl you're interested in or you're up to something. Tell me." Cao Cao scanned Guo Jia closely, leaving him momentarily stunned.

"Ha, as long as the world remains uncertain, how can one have a home!" Guo, not speaking his true intentions, sarcastically uttered these eight words, earning a disdainful look from Cao Cao.

"Shut up, you! Hurry up and spit out the dirty water in your stomach."

"Can you please speak properly? What do you mean by dirty water in my stomach! It's called a plan! It's a clever strategy! If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all, really." Guo Jia immediately retorted, completely disregarding any respect for his lord Cao Cao.

Cao Cao suddenly remembered that they were still in a military conference, and everyone was watching him. He needed to maintain the dignity and magnanimity of a lord. How could he argue with the shameless person, Guo Jia? Therefore, Cao Cao resisted the urge to retort.

The people around are no longer surprised. These two people, being called ruler and subject, are just like two ordinary close friends. They completely disregard their differences in status and maintain the same attitude towards each other. This kind of bantering in public is not the first or second time. Sometimes they really envy Guo Jia.

“行了行了,我不和你计较,快说说你所谓的‘妙计’!”

郭嘉突然正色看向舆图,拔出了腰间的长剑,指着挂在墙上的徐州地图“下邳城,城高门坚,强攻定然损失惨重。不过,下邳的地势倒是可以利用一番。”

Cao Cao murmured, "What about the terrain?"

"Xiaopei city has low terrain. We can overlook the city from Mount Geyi and get a glimpse of its defense situation," Xun You said expressionlessly. However, he had some doubts in his mind. Guo Jia's "clever plan" should be more than just a simple strategy of observing the defense of Xiaopei city from Mount Geyi. Cao Cao had the same thought.

With a faint smile, Guo Jia seemed to see through their thoughts, "Don't rush, of course, it's not that simple. However, I really didn't expect the incident with Ge Yishan, it's like a hidden darkness. But indeed, the low terrain of Xiapi City is part of my strategy."

Take a closer look at the map. The most important factor that has contributed to the agricultural and economic development of Xian of Xiapi is what?

Xi Zhi cai also spoke up, "It's definitely water! Xian of Xiapi is located at the junction of the Yi River and the Si River. Whether it's irrigating farmland or using waterways for trade, it all relies on these two rivers, Yi and Si River."

"Could it be?!" x3
