Tan County, Prefecture Pastoral Mansion.

Tao Qian was lying on the sickbed, holding a thick quilt, but he still didn't feel a trace of warmth. He felt that life was leaving him, and the boundless darkness was gathering silently, about to engulf him.

But he is not dead, he can't let go, he can't let go of Xuzhou, he can't let go of these two sons.

Looking at the potter and Tao Ying kneeling in front of the couch, Tao Qian sighed secretly. God is really unfair, Sun Wentai's background is not as good as mine, he gave birth to a few good children, I have been rampant all my life, but I gave birth to these two wastes, and I can't even keep the foundation of Xuzhou, and sooner or later it will fall into the hands of Sun Ce or Yuan Xi. Who will be the final victor Sun Ce or Yuan Shao? I don't know. The victory or defeat is not scored, and the two sons must live at least one, so as to ensure the bloodline and wealth of the Tao family.

Thinking of the future of the Tao family, Tao Qian opened his eyes strongly, and his voice was like a gossamer.

"Bo Yun ......"

The potter hurriedly stepped forward and took Tao Qian's hand with teary eyes. Tao Qian's hands were damp and cold, like a dying fish.

"Awn."

"Where is Liu He?"

"In Xiapi, wait for our news." The pottery merchant glanced at Tao Ying weakly and said in a low voice.

"You release all the Donghai families you arrested before, give him a meeting gift, and then you personally lead the troops to escort them to Qingzhou and meet with Yuan Xi."

"I ......"

"Do as I say."

The potter didn't dare to refute, and responded weakly. Tao Qian called Tao Ying to him again. "Zhong Yun, you send me back to Danyang."

Tao should be in a hurry. The pottery merchant is the eldest son, and he did not send Tao Qian back to Danyang, but let his second son send him back to Danyang. He was just about to speak, when Mrs. Gan on the side glared at him. Tao Ying was puzzled, but he still knelt down. The old mother loves her son, Mrs. Gan is late, and he loves him the most among the two sons, and he believes that his mother will not lie to him.

"Donghai, Langya pay Boyun, Xiapi and Guangling pay you, Boyun goes north, and you return west. After I die, you will divide your mourning. As for the imperial court, I have already arranged it, so you don't need to worry. Tao Qian took a few breaths and was about to get up, but Mrs. Gan hurriedly helped him up and took a pillow and stuffed it into his hand. Tao Qian gasped, and called the potter to the front of the couch, holding one in one hand. "You ...... Understand my ...... Meaning? ”

The potter and Tao Ying glanced at each other, and a trace of sadness flashed in their eyes. Of course, they understood what Tao Qian meant. Tao Qian was worried that they would not be able to keep the foundation of Xuzhou, so they were divided into two and let them vote for Sun Yuan, whether it was Sun Cesheng or Yuan Shaosheng in the future, their brothers would be able to save one person, and the wealth of the Tao family would have the possibility of continuing.

The potter first promised. "Ah Weng, don't worry, if it is Yuan Shisheng, I will definitely do my best to rescue Zhong Yun."

Tao Ying was moved, and he also promised. As long as possible, the potter will be kept safe in the future and will not let him die. Tao Qian listened, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "So I was blinded when I died. Go out, and I have a few more words to say to your mother. ”

The potter and Tao Ying wiped their tears and went out. Mrs. Gan sat down on the edge of the couch, Tao Qian took her hand, and gasped: "I know, you prefer Zhong Yun, and you will think that I am biased." But other than that, I couldn't have a better arrangement. Even if the East China Sea is left to Zhong Yun, Zhong Yun will not be able to hold it. There is only one country, Langya, and it is not enough for Boyun to gain a foothold, so it can only be so. ”

Mrs. Gan wiped her tears and sobbed.

"I have one more idea, though." Tao Qian looked at Mrs. Gan. "Sun Ce is young and lustful, your subordinate woman is outstanding, and her skin is as white as jade, if you can dedicate her to Sun Ce, you may be able to help Zhong Yun. Your younger brother Gan Yan is already a minister of Sun Ce, if you can get this marriage, it will also be beneficial to your Gan family, killing two birds with one stone. ”

Mrs. Gan nodded repeatedly.

After arranging, Tao Qian let out a long breath and closed his eyes tiredly. Mrs. Gan let him lie down in distress and tucked the quilt away. When the tip of his finger slid over Tao Qian's chin, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly tried Tao Qian's breath with his hand, only to find that Tao Qian was already out of breath. She was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help crying loudly, the pottery merchant and Tao Ying outside heard it, and hurriedly ran in, and saw Tao Qian hiding motionless on the bed, his face was calm and peaceful, and he immediately fell down in front of the couch and cried.

——

Cao Ang walked through the long winding corridor to the water pavilion and climbed to the third floor.

Sun Ce stood by the railing, looking at the lake and distracted, he didn't know what he thought, and a light smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Hearing footsteps, he turned his head, looked at Cao Ang, and crooked his mouth.

"Cao Zixiu, don't come to harm?"

Cao Ang stepped forward and bowed his hand. "General, I am fine, but Yanzhou is terminally ill, and I am anxious to wait for the general's help."

Sun Ce straightened up, put his hands behind his back, and walked back and forth twice. "Are you really willing to give up everything for the people of Yanzhou?"

Cao Ang said lightly: "As the assassin of Yanzhou, I can't appease one party, I am ashamed of heaven and earth, and I am ashamed of the common people. ”

Sun Ce chuckled and said, "You tell me the truth, is this a plan of Chen Gong?" ”

"It doesn't matter if it's a plan or not, what matters is whether you can save people." Cao Ang met Sun Ce's gaze with a wry smile. "Even if it's a plan, I can't hide it from the general, I'm here, at the disposal of the general. I don't know what the general thinks, but I'm sure Chen Gongtai won't take me as bait. ”

"You......" Sun Ce pointed at Cao Ang, not knowing whether to call him stupid or something. But as he said, none of this is important, Cao Ang is here, his purpose has been achieved, even Chen Gong's strategy has been cracked. The news of Cao Ang's arrival in Pingyu will soon reach Yuan Shao's ears, and Cao Ang has no way out. He spun back and forth twice. "I know that the epidemic in Yanzhou is serious and urgent, so I won't say anything more to you. Considering the relationship between your father and son and Yuan Shao, I can't send medicine to Yanzhou openly, but I will let go of the border ban, and as long as the people of Yanzhou enter Yuzhou alive, I will be fully responsible for the rest. I don't dare to say that no one will die, but I can assure you that I will do my best to save people in every way possible. ”

Cao Ang raised his head and stared at Sun Ce, almost without hesitation, blurted out. "It's a deal."

Sun Ce was a little ashamed of Cao Ang. His strategy is much more ruthless than Chen Gong's, and it will almost hollow out the few remaining populations in Yanzhou. He originally thought that Cao Ang would have to think about it even if he was forced by the situation and had to agree, but he didn't expect Cao Ang to accept it so readily. Under Cao Ang's gaze, he couldn't hide the small under the leather robe. Despite this, what should be said has to be said, what should be done has to be done, and there is no room for any favors or discounts.

"It's a deal." Sun Ce held Cao Ang's hand and shook it vigorously. "You go to meet your mother, if you are interested, then go and meet He Boqiu, Zhang Mengzhuo and Yuan Xiansi, I will send someone to prepare horses and dry food for you, you can leave and return at any time."

"Thank you, General." Cao Ang took two steps back and slammed it to the end. "I thanked the general for the people of Yanzhou."
