You must know that Xun Yue was recommended to Liu Bei by Chen Qun at the beginning.

And Chen Qun's understanding of Xun Yue is almost no less than Xun's. Because it's often not someone else who knows you best, it's your opponent. Chen Qun and Xun Yue are completely rivals.

The Xun family and the Chen family have a deep personal relationship, and naturally the competition between peers is not small. Among them, the struggle between Xun Yue and Chen Qun was the most intense.

Unlike Xun, it is completely royalist, and it is not aimed at the family. Xun Yue didn't care much about the surname of the Son of Heaven, he was completely aimed at the family that was now too big to lose.

And Chen Qun is the opposite, he is completely for the strength of the family.

Why did Chen Qunming know that Xun Yue was completely opposite to his own thoughts, and still recommend such a sworn enemy to Liu Bei?

It is because he knows the horror of the Xun family, and he knows the horror of Xun Yue even more.

How powerful is the Xun family? Xun Xunyou, these two people alone are enough to prove it.

Like the others, there is Xun Chen, although this person is not famous in history, he is very famous for one thing, that is, he persuaded Han Fu to surrender and hand over Jizhou to Yuan Shao. After that, Yuan Shao failed, and he disappeared.

Or how to say that the Xun family is a scoundrel! Their outstanding vision made them put their attention on Cao Mengde as soon as they came up, and brought many excellent strategists to the past.

Because Cao Cao is a potential stock, once it is successful, the Xun family will be the first family under him, and he will ascend to the sky in one step. At the same time, the Xun family did not forget to bet on Yuan Shao, the strongest prince at that time, so that Yuan Shao got Jizhou justifiably. This kind of great achievement is enough to ensure the status of the Xun family under Yuan Shao.

The Xun family is deep in the snow to send charcoal. In the most difficult period of Cao Cao, the best choice at that time, and Yuan Shao, the strongest prince at that time, they each gave them a big gift.

In comparison, the Chen family is much inferior, and he is completely the little brother who follows the Xun family, and he can't do it at all.

But fortunately, Chen Qun was angry, knowing that he couldn't fight Xun, so he couldn't bear it. Because he knew that Xun, who was loyal to the Han family, would fall out with Cao Cao sooner or later. It wasn't until Xun died that he stood up.

The nine-grade Zhongzheng system he proposed completely pushed the family to the altar. And the distant relatives they bet on, the Sima family, finally succeeded in usurping the world of the Cao family.

Chen Qun's vision is not inferior to Xun at all, and even worse. In history, he and Xun are completely copies of Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, I can't beat you and I will kill you, and when you die, I will be the winner.

Xun Yue's ability Chen Qun is very clear, his internal affairs ability is almost not inferior to his own, and his strategic vision is even more terrifying. Otherwise, Chen Qun would not have recommended this sworn enemy to Liu Bei and asked for trouble.

Chen Qun is also a person who can afford to let go, even if he is divided by Xun Yue and relied on Liu Bei, as long as Liu Bei can succeed. After all, when it comes to infighting, Xun Yue and Chen Qun are not of the same grade at all.

No one is perfect, and there is nothing to say about the abilities of these talents of the Xun family, but they are all too noble, and their infighting ability is almost zero. Especially Xun, knowing that he is dead, he also has to have a wave with Cao Cao.

And Xun Yue's goods are also like this, in history, Emperor Han Xian has become a puppet in the eyes of everyone, but Xun Yue still pasted it without hesitation, and like Xun, he was tough with Cao Cao many times.

This kind of person with a noble temperament is too easy to deal with, and he doesn't need Chen Qun to make a move, and if Liu Bei succeeds in the end, he will take the initiative to set up, dismiss or even kill Xun Yue, with the heart of the family.

……

"Report! Liu Bei's chief Shi Xun Yue asks to see the assassin history! ”

Tao Qian, who was resting in the Assassin's Mansion, changed his sad face and said with great joy: "Quick! Invite the messenger in! ”

The front line was about to drive Tao Qian crazy, and Cao Cao's army was almost overwhelming. It was Tao Qian who sent Cao Bao, the first general in Xuzhou, to lead the army to meet the battle, but the result was repeated defeats.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still 30,000 Danyang elite soldiers stationed in Xiapi City, and he was very unaccustomed to attacking Cao Cao for no reason, Tao Qian would have the heart to surrender to Cao Cao.

After all, he is not long dead, and the people he is worried about are none other than his two sons. But neither of the two sons is a person who can stand up, so Tao Qian has been looking for someone who can take over Xuzhou and take care of his wife and children.

As early as when Xun Yue had just joined Liu Bei's command, he contacted Tao Qian, and promised that as long as Tao Qian could cede Xuzhou to Liu Bei, Xun Yue would guarantee the survival and future of Tao Qian's second son in the name of the Xun family.

As one of the four great families in the late Han Dynasty, the Xun family is naturally qualified to say this, after all, no prince would offend the Xun family for just two wastes.

Tao Qian, who was old but still strong at the time, did not agree to Xun Yue's conditions, and of course he did not refuse. It is estimated that he still wants to be the overlord of the land for a few more years, and when he dies soon, he will hand over Xuzhou.

But he didn't expect Cao Cao to call so quickly, which made Tao Qian worried.

Cao Cao, for the sake of the effect of the surprise attack, attacked Xuzhou in a completely undeclared battle. Tao Qian was very disgusted with his behavior, and he couldn't pull his face to surrender to him, so he could only choose to resist to the end.

"Zhongyu, but I don't know if Xuande Gong is willing to come to help me?"

After Xun Yue was brought up, Tao Qian hurriedly said.

Xun Yue smiled slightly: "Tao Thorn History, please rest assured, my lord has long been unaccustomed to a treacherous person like Cao Mengde, and has ordered General Yun Chang to lead an army of 30,000 to come to help!" ”

Tao Qian was overjoyed and said, "Okay, good!" Brother Xuande is really benevolent! The generals concerned came to help, and my Xuzhou was definitely safe. But I don't know when General Guan will arrive? ”

"It will take more than ten days for General Yun Chang to arrive, and I hope that your lord will be able to hold Xiapi City before then."

"This!" Tao Qian's face suddenly became ugly, with Cao Cao's marching speed, it would take three or five days at most for the troops to come to Xiapi City, Tao Qian really didn't have the confidence to hold Xiapi for nearly ten days under the siege of tens of thousands of wolf-like Cao troops.

"After more than ten days, I'm afraid I'm already lost! But I don't know if Zhongyu can urge General Guan? Tao Qian said.

Xun Yue smiled in her heart and took the bait!

"General Guan's subordinates are all foot soldiers, they have a lot of baggage, the marching speed is already slow, and they also have to guard against the half-way sneak attack of the Cao army, so they really can't speed up the march!" Xun Yue is so difficult.

A trace of disappointment flashed on Tao Qian's face, indeed! Liu Bei had just received the news that it would take a lot of time to lead a light horse from Yuzhou.

"However, if you abandon most of the grain and grass baggage, you may be able to march faster, but the logistics cannot be guaranteed, how to fight!" Xun Yue said intentionally or unintentionally.

Hearing this, Tao Qian's eyes suddenly lit up: "Don't disturb Zhongyu." Peijun under my command has not yet fallen into the hands of Cao Thief, if General Guan trusts him, he might as well temporarily garrison his troops there. There was a lot of grain and grass in it, enough for an army of 30,000 for several months. Moreover, the small towns along the surrounding roads can also provide logistical support for General Guan, and I only need to repair a book. In this way, General Guan can enter the army without much baggage! ”

Xun Yue suddenly realized: "The history of the assassin is really wise!" Under the stupidity, why didn't you think of this trick! In this way, General Guan could reach Xiapi in only seven or eight days. ”

Hearing that it would take seven or eight days, Tao Qian began to worry again: "I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on to even seven or eight days!" ”

Although Tao Qian can't say that the current situation of Xiapi is not clear, he can guess seventy-seven-eighty-eight.

Originally, the family in the city did not deal with Tao Qian, and when they encountered this situation, it is estimated that they all have the heart of surrendering or fleeing, and people are moved, how easy is it to keep Xiapi?

"Don't you still have 30,000 Danyang elite soldiers? Isn't it more than enough to hold Xiapi City for five or six days? Xun Yue wondered.

"There are soldiers and no generals, what can I do about it?" Tao Qian sighed.

"Isn't there still General Cao Bao? He is the first fierce general in Xuzhou! ”

"Hehe, First Fierce General." Tao Qian laughed at himself. In the past, he was not used to looking down on the family, but he looked down on the poor even more, so he turned away many cold generals, which made Cao Bao sit in the position of the first fierce general in Xuzhou.

Moreover, Cao Bao's previous repeated defeats, coupled with his capricious personality, Tao Qian couldn't trust him at all.

"If the adults don't mind, can you let one of the young people who came with me try it?" Xun Yue saw the self-deprecation on Tao Qian's face, and said hesitantly.

"Oh? Who? Tao Qian couldn't see any joy or anger on his face, and said without being salty or light.

"Chen Zhi, Chen Shuzhi!"
