Apologizing has always been the image of a good person. He has been in Xuzhou for many years, winning the hearts of the people and enjoying a world-renowned reputation. Cao Cao indiscriminately accused him of crusade. It turns out that Cao Cao's father's death is not the responsibility of apology, and apology is also a forced situation. He also apologized, made amends and took the initiative to arrest the criminal. It's no use. Cao Cao had to talk about killing the city. This behavior will undoubtedly make him think that Cao Cao is an unreasonable and indiscriminate killer. Over the years, many good reputations collected by benevolence and love for the people (Cao Cao has been recognized and accepted by the people in Shandong for many years) will also be destroyed. Will try to degrade their reputation.
Even Cao Cao's most important adviser at that time could not persuade Cao Cao to send troops to Tao Qian this time, and advocated the slaughter of Tao Qian. Xun said to him, "Modesty won the hearts of the people, and it is not appropriate to crusade at this time." Moreover, there is a threat of aftermath behind the invasion at this time. If we want to conquer the world enough to defeat the enemy, we can only achieve great cause by retreating and persisting. First of all, we must go through the difficulties of flat holes and find people's hearts. But Cao Cao still insisted on sending troops to occupy Xuzhou. Where is Xuzhou? How important is it for Cao Cao to do this? Does he insist on getting it?
Cao Cao's father Song Jun was exiled to langxi. He was modest and kept the silver level, while Song Li, a soldier, cherished it and then attacked and killed people. In the fourth year of Chuping, Cao broke Pengcheng Puyang. You can't operate an attack, that's right. Consider quitting, Valin, Shiring, massacre. The number of people who killed hundreds of thousands of men, women and dogs did not decrease, and Surabaya did not flow. Nature is Wu Xianxian and Bobo, and there is no trace of coming back. Xuzhou is one of the Eastern Han 13 states, with a large area, occupying a part of Linyi, Suzhou, Yangzhou and Taizhou and all of Xuzhou, Lianyungang, Suqian, Huai 'an and Yancheng. It covers almost the whole of Jiangsu Province and half of Shandong Province, as well as the northeast of Anhui Province. At that time, Xuzhou governed six counties, including Pengcheng (now Xuzhou), Xia Qing, Donghai, Langya Prefecture, Dongguan and Guangling, with a total of 50 counties.
Since ancient times, Xuzhou has always been a battleground for military strategists for heroes who are determined to dominate the world. Xuzhou is located in the north of Huaihe River, south of Mount Tai and west of Yellow Sea. It is the key to Nanbeimen Lake. After extending to the north, it is a very convenient passage for the town soldiers, connecting the Central Plains in the west and Hengxiang in the south. During the Three Kingdoms period, Xuzhou could capture and move northward, resist Xuzhou and Yuan Shao, and carry out maintenance in Yuan Shu, Changjiang South Island and East China Sea.
Xuzhou has been the birthplace of Chinese civilization since ancient times. Xuzhou has a long history and is called "Athens of the East". More than 6000 years ago, our ancestors lived and worked here. According to legend, when Dayu was in charge of water control, he divided the world into Kyushu, and Xuzhou was divided into one of Kyushu in the upper and lower eras. Since ancient times, Xuzhou has been full of talented people. During the Three Kingdoms period, many aristocratic families lived in Xuzhou. The most famous ones were Liu from Pengcheng, the king of Langya, and Zhuge who was born in the fire. Peng was from Weifang, Emperor Gaozu. Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, was born in Fengxian County, and both Fengxian County and Pixian County belong to Fengcheng County, so Liu did not take Fengcheng as his birthplace, but called Fengcheng Liu. Therefore, Pengcheng has been regarded as an orthodox military network of meteors since ancient times and is the birthplace of Chinese culture.
