Xun Yue has long calculated the Danyang elite soldiers in Xuzhou. It's a pity to leave such a good elite soldier to Cao Mengde, it is better to get some of it before Tao Qian falls.

Before the envoy, he originally planned to let Liu Bei send a general to accompany him, and then come to take over. It turned out that Liu Bei directly threw Chen Zhi over, and he didn't mention it again.

Although Chen Zhi is young, he is talented and has a family heritage, Xun Yue can see at a glance that he will inevitably be a general in the future, and this mission is just the time for him to show his edge.

"It seems that Zhongyu, you have been prepared!" Tao Qian said meaningfully.

Xun Yue smiled slightly: "Since some things are destined to become ownerless, it is better to give them to my lord than to be taken by Cao Mengde!" Tao Thorn Shi is magnanimous, he shouldn't care about this! ”

Facing the resourceful Xun Yue, Tao Qian sincerely admired: "How can Liu Xuande be virtuous!" With a talent like you! ”

"The history of assassination is too famous, and it is my honor to be appreciated by the lord!" Xun Yue said humbly. "Since Thorn Shi said so, he agrees to this matter!"

Tao Qian shook his head: "Although I am very optimistic about Liu Xuande, I am even more optimistic about you." But all this depends on the ability of the young general you are talking about. ”

Xun Yue said confidently: "Please rest assured that Chen Zhi will definitely not let you down." ”

"Zhongyu, do you think I can still hold Xuzhou?"

After being silent for a while, Tao Qian suddenly asked coldly. Before that, there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart, if Liu Bei and Lu Buqi came to help, he might still be able to hold Xuzhou. However, Xun Yue's words just now made him vaguely see the reality.

Although it was weak in the past, Xuzhou, which was located between the three families and no one dared to move, is now the target of everyone, and he should know his destiny.

"Does Lord Assassin want to hear the truth?" Xun Yue said calmly.

The atmosphere instantly became solemn, and Tao Qian stared at Xun Yue deadly. After a long time, he lowered his eyes: "No need, I will understand when you say this." ”

Tao Qian sighed and sighed slightly: "It seems that I can't keep Xuzhou!" ”

"If you should give it, you have to give it, Cao Cao is not comparable to the history of assassination now. My lord is now restrained by Yuan Shu, and he can't spare his hands to come to the rescue. It is already the limit to be able to take out an army of 30,000. And Lu Bu's assassination history is even less hopeful. Xun Yue said unceremoniously.

Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, Tao Qian still sat down on the ground when he heard this, his face was full of ashes, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

"Hehe, old! It's time to let go of this huge Xuzhou! Tao Qian sighed, at this time, there was a feeling of the twilight of a strong man.

In the past, he was also a general with both civil and military skills and an upright personality, following Huangfu Song and Zhang Wen across the frontier and bloody battlefields. But since he became the assassin of Xuzhou, I don't know when, the brave and resolute, and even dared to contradict Zhang Wen, became a dog who had no enterprising heart.

The current situation, if it had been placed eight years ago, Tao Qian would definitely have taken all the troops under his command to fight Cao Cao without hesitation.

If the 30,000 Danyang elite soldiers in Xuzhou hadn't admired Tao Qian's bravery, they wouldn't have followed him.

What a pity! Tao Qian's sharpness back then has been completely worn away by a comfortable life, just like Dong Zhuo who has been hollowed out by wine.

Now Tao Qian has changed from a brave and resolute general to a good old man who likes to pick up cheap, thin mud, and has a weak personality.

"Zhongyu, did the conditions you promised me count at the beginning?" Tao Qian muttered.

"Naturally! As long as you give some of the Danyang elite soldiers to my lord, the safety of the two sons can definitely be guaranteed. ”

"Oh well! Let the little general in your mouth temporarily serve as a lieutenant and command five thousand Danyang elite soldiers. How many Danyang elite soldiers he can take away after that depends on his own ability. Thinking of his two incompetent two sons, Tao Qian still compromised.

"Assassin Shi Mingming!" Xun Yue bowed.

exchanged the lives of two wastes for five thousand or more Danyang elite soldiers, Xun Yue really made a lot of money this time.

……

"Zhongyu is really talented! What a blessing I can get! ”

Seeing the letter from Xun Yue, Liu Bei was pleasantly surprised. He really couldn't imagine how Xun Yue did all this. I thought that taking advantage of Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou, I could take advantage of the opportunity and take back the two counties of Yuzhou that were not in my hands.

As a result, I didn't expect that under Xun Yue's calculations, he could easily take Sanzhou with almost no soldiers, and he could easily collect a lot of elite soldiers! It's just incredible.

And Chen Qun was also shocked, he knew that Xun Yue was very powerful, and he hid it deeply, but he didn't expect that the other party's wisdom would be so terrifying.

"Zhongyu is really talented, I might as well too!" Chen Qun said with heartfelt emotion.

In this life, he is not bad, he met Xun Yue, if he met Xun Yue, who was as strong as Xun Yue and whose strengths overlapped with him, it is estimated that he would have the heart to cry.

Liu Bei heard a trace of emotion in Chen Qun's tone, and hurriedly comforted: "Changwen, you are too modest!" You all have your own strengths, and when it comes to governing internal affairs, Zhongyu is not as good as you! ”

After hearing Liu Bei's comfort, Chen Qun smiled freely and said, "The lord doesn't need to worry. Zhongyu and I are both working for the lord, so what if our abilities are a little worse? I'm glad for the Lord! If Qun was really a narrow-minded person, he would not have recommended Zhongyu to the lord in the first place! ”

"Yes!" Liu Bei took the opportunity to say: "You and others are my right-hand men, and they are indispensable." ”

"But Changwen, do you think we can use this to ask Cao Mengde for more benefits?" Liu Bei had some long-looking Shu Dao.

Xun Yue's behavior of snatching food from Cao Cao's mouth this time was too easy, and in Liu Bei's opinion, Cao Cao agreed so happily, maybe he could knock out some of the benefits from it.

"Well, I'm afraid it's impossible. Cao Cao is a hero, and it is impossible for us to slaughter him. Chen Qun said firmly.

For Cao Cao to hand over the land of the three counties to himself so simply, Chen Qun was also a little puzzled. He was sure that Xun Yue must have hidden something and did not report it. However, since Xun Yue was reluctant to say it, it meant that they knew about it and had no intention of doing it, and Chen Qun was too lazy to ask for trouble.

Chen Qun knew very well that Liu Bei's mind to gain an inch was really unacceptable. How did the Six-Nation Alliance break down that year? It's not because all countries are testing each other's bottom line like Liu Bei, and they are doing this kind of thing one by one in order to seize more benefits.

Liu Bei nodded with some disappointment: "Also, Cao Mengde, a traitor in troubled times, is indeed not so easy to talk to, it is my whims." ”

"The order went down, and ordered Guan Yu to lead an army of 30,000 and send troops with ten days of grain and grass. All the cities that passed through on this journey should be taken under his command, especially Xiao Pei, and the soldiers who were stationed there should be left. All the way to the hurry, be sure to arrive in Xiapi within ten days. ”
