Chapter 231: Xuzhou, where people's hearts are moved

"Let's go!"

Leaving Xun's mansion, Xun Yue walked gently in front of Chen Zhi and said calmly.

"No!"

Wen Ruo, the road you and I have walked is extremely difficult, and there is little hope, I hope you and I can go to the end!

。。。。。。

Xuzhou, Tao Qian looked at the battle reports begging for help in front of him, full of anger, and angrily threw the bamboo slip in his hand to Cao Bao, who was kneeling down on one knee.

"Cao Bao! What do you say? Cao Cao was not worried. More than a dozen cities have been captured in seven days, which is what you said is not to worry about? ”

was smashed in the face by a bamboo slip, but the hot pain couldn't hide the fear in Cao Bao's heart. The terrifying combat power of Cao Cao's army really frightened him.

"The lord is angry, General Cao didn't mean it, Cao Mengde's army is so strong that it really surprises us." Chen, who was at the top of the right, stood up and pleaded.

"Yes, my lord. Now that the enemy is present, I still need to rely on General Cao to lead the overall situation to solve the danger of my Xuzhou! ”

The people below also chimed in.

Looking at Cao Bao kneeling below, as well as the many ministers around him who were pleading, Tao Qian only felt a chill in his heart, and took two long breaths, which calmed down his irritable mood.

"Alright, get up! This time, if you are a first-time offender, you will not be held accountable. If there is a next time, a certain weight will be with you! ”

A trace of disdain flashed in Cao Bao's eyes, and he slowly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, lord!" ”

As one of the two local snakes in Xuzhou, Cao Bao didn't take Tao Qian as an old man in his eyes at all. If it weren't for an opponent like Chen, Cao Bao would have pulled Tao Qian off the horse a long time ago, how could he let this puppet state pastor be in office for so long?

"Cao Mengde is leading a large army to attack, I don't know what you think?"

The disdain in Cao Bao's eyes was not deliberately hidden, and Tao Qian clearly saw it in his eyes. But now that he is in his last years, he is helpless against Cao Bao, even if he sees this scene, he can only ignore it.

Faced with Tao Qian's question, the first to stand up was naturally the chief strategist like Chen.

"Lord, Cao Mengde is menacing, and his soldiers are fierce, and we can't beat them. For the sake of today's plan, we can only ask for help from outside. ”

"Who can help?"

"Qingzhou Lu Bu, Yuzhou Liu Bei." Chen Dao.

"My lord!" Cao Bao hurriedly said when he heard this.

Tao Qian looked at Cao Bao, who was shocked, and said unhappily: "Why not?" ”

"Lu Bu is a jackal, and Liu Bei is a complete hypocrite, the lord must not lead a wolf into the room!" Cao Bao said solemnly.

"Is there anything else you can do now? You're going to fight Cao Cao? Tao Qian asked rhetorically.

"This..."

Now it's hard to change to Cao Bao. captured more than ten cities in seven days, and he thought that he could not achieve such a terrifying record as Cao Mengde.

"The last general is probably not Cao Mengde's opponent."

"Humph! I don't think you have this ability, since that's the case, then use Han Yu's strategy! But I don't know if Lu Bu and Liu Bei can come to help. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, Cao Mengde's sitting on the throne is also a bad thing for these two people, and it is expected that they will definitely come to help."

......

"Father, haven't you already decided to defect to Cao Cao? Why do you still offer advice to Tao Qian? Chen Deng was a little puzzled by his father's actions.

Tao Qian is obviously dying now, and his two sons are mediocre people, not to mention competing for the world, even being a household dog like Tao Qian is not qualified.

So now the family in Xuzhou is excited and is preparing to find a home. Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Lu Bu around Xuzhou are all good choices for them.

But Yuan Shu was basically not considered, because Yuan Shu's attitude towards the family was very unfriendly, so they were excluded from the range of choices from the beginning.

The object of the Chen family is Cao Cao, and the attitude of the Cao family is very subtle, constantly wandering among the three families, and there has been no decision.

Cao Bao's vacillating behavior made Chen Deng even suspect that Cao Bao's straw bag wanted to establish himself as a pastor in Xuzhou and stand in the front as a prince.

However, Chen Deng's father and son did not make a statement, let alone disclose the news.

After all, it is not a game to dominate the world, with the IQ of Cao Bao's two fools, how can he be able to defeat the heroes of the Central Plains? It is estimated that it will fall in less than a year, and then the entire Cao family will have to suffer, and the Chen family can take the opportunity to become the only leader of the Xuzhou family.

"Deng'er, to be a father is to choose Cao Mengde. However, this does not mean that the father has to help Cao Mengde now. Chen Dao.

"The icing on the cake is good, but it's the charcoal in the snow that is impressive. If Cao Mengde is not beaten, how can we prove our importance? ”

"What my father said is good, but isn't my father afraid that Cao Mengde will hold a grudge in his heart and burn himself by doing this?" Chen Deng was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, there is Cao Bao pulling hatred for us! This arrogant guy never knows what it means to be clumsy. It is true that no one in Xuzhou can cure him, but in the hands of Cao Mengde, he may not be so easy. "Chen has already calculated it.

Cao Cao's temperament Chen has also studied, and he shouldn't have turned his face with the Chen family for this trivial matter, not to mention that even if he has played it at that time, it's a big deal to give up himself and push Chen Deng out, anyway, he is already old.

"Cao Cao is indeed a master, but Liu Bei and Lu Bu are not simple. I'm afraid they won't let Cao Mengde take Xuzhou easily, father, if you do this, I'm afraid it will make it even more difficult for Cao Mengde to take Xuzhou. ”

"Deng'er, you underestimate Cao Mengde too much, don't forget that there is still Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu watching outside! If Cao Mengde still can't take Xuzhou under such circumstances, then why do we need to defect to him? Chen said in a deep voice.

"If he can take Xuzhou under pressure from all sides, then he is the head of our Chen family. Otherwise, we wouldn't mind choosing Liu Bei or Lu Bu to help them destroy Cao Cao. ”

Speaking of this, Chen looked at Chen Deng solemnly: "Deng'er, you have to remember: everything must be family-oriented. Those who do not have the ability to dominate the world are not worthy of our Chen family. On the contrary, no matter who gets Xuzhou, our Chen family cannot oppose it. ”

"As long as my Chen family is still the head of the Xuzhou family and still controls this Xuzhou, everything doesn't matter."

Chen Deng smiled bitterly and nodded.

"But father, what if Yuan Highway gets Xuzhou?"

"No way. No matter how powerful Yuan Highway is, he must succumb to the general trend, and this huge Central Plains will not be something that Yuan Highway can watch for at least a few years. ”

"And if Yuan Highway takes Xuzhou in the future, I'm afraid the situation in the world has been decided, and what you have to do at that time is to obey Yuan Highway. This person is extremely domineering, but he is not blindly hostile to my family, even if he loses a lot of interests, as long as our Chen family does not fall, sooner or later one day he can make a comeback. ”
