The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 328 Perfect Ambush
Chen Dao suddenly felt his wrists go numb, and the big man swung his mace and slammed it down again. The moves were rough and simple, but very powerful.

when!
Chen Dao resisted again, a ball of sparks suddenly appeared on the ring head knife, and at the same time a wide gap appeared on the edge of the knife.

Chen Dao's tiger's mouth had been split open, and blood flowed down his tiger's mouth.

And at this time, Chen Dao also heard the screams of the Bai Mu army he was leading, and when he looked around, there were not many people standing around him, almost all of them were lying on the ground.

And at this time, the big man's mace followed him and hit Chen Dao's head, because Chen Dao was so distracted that he couldn't react at all.

"Leopard, wait a minute!" Dongfang Sheng said in time.

Dongfang Leopard's mace landed on Chen Dao's forehead just right, and the strong wind caused Chen Dao's hair to spread to both sides.

"Why?" Chen Dao raised his head curiously and asked, he was not afraid of death, so he didn't even blink his eyes just now.

Dongfang Sheng walked up to Chen Dao and said, "I don't need to fight you to the end."

Dongfang Sheng adopted lightning tactics this time. This tactic originated from the masterpiece of a certain crazy genius in later generations. Dongfang Sheng thought of this method when he learned that Liu Bei had dispatched troops to seize territory in various places in Xuzhou.

Sure enough, Liu Bei was too anxious, and Dongfang Sheng came all the way like a broken bamboo. Because of the scattered forces, Dongfang Sheng couldn't even meet a decent resistance.

Dongfang Sheng didn't mean to kill them all. Although he is an ally with Cao Cao now, such an ally may become an enemy at any time, so Dongfang Sheng will never wipe out Cao Cao's potential enemy Liu Bei in advance.

So on the third day after entering Xuzhou, Chen Dao took Liu Bei to Xiapi to negotiate with Dongfang Sheng.

Xiapi Wangcheng, the former residence of Lu Bu, now serves as a temporary meeting place for Dongfang Sheng.

Dongfang Sheng took the main seat, and Dongfang Leopard and Badao stood behind him.

Liu Bei sat opposite Dongfang Sheng, and behind him were Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Chen Dao, but the faces of the four of them were not very good.

"Xuande is safe here." Dongfang Sheng spoke first, and the muscles on Liu Bei's face twitched after hearing Dongfang Sheng's words.

"Meng Ren is really prosperous now." Liu Bei said with a look of envy, "Xuzhou is my new land, can Meng Ren...?"

Before Liu Bei finished speaking, Dongfang Sheng interrupted: "Xuande thinks that if I don't come, Cao Cao won't come by himself?"

"Fishing in troubled waters is not for everyone."

The muscles on Liu Bei's face suddenly twitched, but now he can only endure this breath.

"I wonder if Meng Ren can give me a few days to allow me to withdraw slowly?" Seeing that one plan failed, Liu Bei immediately thought of another trick.

If Dongfang Sheng gives him time to retreat slowly, then Liu Bei can take the opportunity to gather all his troops to counterattack, so that it is not yet known who will die in the end.

Naturally, Dongfang Sheng would not be fooled, and immediately refused: "Mr. Xuande is embarrassing me. You also know that Cao Cao has always been very strict in governing the army, but I issued a military order in front of him."

After Liu Bei listened to it, he was silent for a long time, and then he let out a long sigh and said, "Missing me, Liu Bei, is almost like a lost dog. God is not helping me."

After the emotion was over, Liu Bei bid farewell to Dongfang Sheng and left in a graceful manner, but his back was a little bleak when he left.

Looking at Liu Bei's back, Dongfang Sheng also felt a little emotional: he is a late bloomer, I don't know that Yizhou has been taken by me, can he still have his own career?

Liu Bei was like a farce in Xuzhou, and didn't cause much trouble at all, but Dongfang Sheng had no intention of quitting Xuzhou at this time.

For the people Cao Cao sent to follow, Dongfang Sheng only gave a very official statement: There are still many Liu Bei's remnants in Xuzhou, which need to be cleaned up slowly.

Liu Bei took Guan Yu and the others to vote northward for Yuan Shao, while Dongfang Sheng was firmly stationed in Xuzhou and had no intention of leaving.

Of course, Dongfang Sheng didn't think that Cao Cao would be willing to have another person like himself next to him, so he didn't immediately start to seize all parts of Xuzhou, but took Xiapi City as the center, bit by bit to eat away at the surrounding counties.

In this way, his troops were not dispersed, and it was not so easy to easily defeat Dongfang Sheng's army.

And then Zhao Yun also came to support with five thousand cavalry, and Tuobahan came to join in the fun with his newly trained two thousand cavalry.

With these [-] cavalry, Cao Cao had no choice but to give up competing with Dongfang Sheng for Xuzhou.

Of course, Cao Cao also sent Zang Ba to test it out. Zang Ba was a fierce general under Cao Cao's command and had once resisted Lu Bu's attack alone.

Cao Cao let him enter Qingzhou to disturb Yuan Shao's territory, and after receiving Cao Cao's order, he also sent an elite cavalry to Xuzhou to spy on them as horse thieves.

As a result, the cavalry never came back, not even the horses ran back.

Zang Ba was shocked, and immediately told Cao Cao that Xuzhou should not be explored again.

From then on, Dongfang Sheng began to manage Xuzhou, but Zhuge Liang also followed. With his help in handling Xuzhou's government affairs, Dongfang Sheng seemed much more relaxed.

When Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Dongfang Sheng were quarreling in Xuzhou, Yuan Shao missed a good opportunity to attack Xudu because of hesitation, and he even locked up the counselor Tian Feng.

Although Yuan Shao looks magnanimous, but that is when he respects the virtuous and virtuous corporal, and his status as a virtuous and virtuous corporal is high and high, so he will show great generosity, but Tian Feng, as Yuan Shao's counselor, will bluntly speak out. The method made Yuan Shao very embarrassed, and at the same time he didn't like it very much.

In this way, Tian Feng's result is very bad. He is a talented person, but he is not a person who can be an official.

In the first month of the fifth year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao officially issued a call to arms. The content of the call to arms was nothing more than to belittle Cao Cao's background and his domination of the government.

Moreover, Yuan Shao also spent a huge amount of money to reward the heads of Cao Cao and Dongfang Sheng. At the same time, he personally led an army of [-] to Liyang, an important town on the north bank of the Yellow River. The Battle of Guandu finally kicked off!
In less than a year from the fourth year of Jian'an to the fifth year of Jian'an, what Dongfang Sheng did most in Xuzhou was to restore productivity and population. At the same time, he vigorously developed the handicraft economy and opened some processing workshops to increase the local population income.

During this year, officials from various counties and counties in Xuzhou changed from passive sabotage at the beginning to a determined determination to recognize Dongfang Sheng, which included Dongfang Sheng's support for the local economy.

In the past, no matter who took Xuzhou, the first thing to do was to rob food, grass, money, and no one thought about construction at the first time.
