Chapter 91: Tao Qian asks for help
With the help of Zhang Fei, Tian Kai defeated Zang Hong and drove him out of Qingzhou completely, and then, he led the victorious division to take Qi County in one go.
"The army led by Lord Assassin Shi, it is really the god of soldiers, breaking the yellow scarf, striking Zang Hong, collecting Qi County, think about it, among the allies, who can be compared with Lord Assassin Shi, think that the invincible Sun Jian, was still killed by Huang Zu under Liu Biao, the Yuan Highway of the Fourth World and the Third Duke, people have a family and power, and they are not still beaten by the eunuch erection, then Tao Qian does not need to mention it!" The people below said a word, and Tian Kai was held even higher, and they picked up the wine glass together and said to Tian Kai: "I'll wait for a glass of stabbing Lord Shi!" ”
Tian Kai faced these praises, Thorn Shi smiled awkwardly, mechanically picked up the wine glass, and drank it, obviously, he was now preoccupied.
Although his current situation is very good on the surface, as long as he thinks about what will happen next, his heart will inevitably tighten, the allied forces collapsed, Gongsun Zhan survived, Tao Qian was vulnerable, Yuan Shu was unable to go north, Sun Jian unfortunately died in battle, they died and defeated, only their own branch was left alone, and there was a risk of being eaten at any time.
Yuan Shao's military strength is now in the north, Cao Cao still has Tao Qian on the side to hinder, he will have a stable life now, wait for which, Tao Qian is gone, Gongsun Zan is gone, Yuan Shu's army will march east, Cao Cao's army will march north, where do you have the capital and ability to fight against these two warlords.
At this time, Tian Kai looked at the smiling faces below, one by one, they could only slap the horse, useless, and until now, there is not even a person who can let himself sue
"Report!" Suddenly, a guard ran in from outside.
"What's the matter?" Tian Kai said casually.
"According to the report of the scouts, Liu Bei of Pingyuan County was attacked by the local clan, Liu Bei had no choice but to flee from Pingyuan County, and now the group is rushing to Qi County, and it is estimated that it will be there soon!"
"What!"
"Liu Bei, he actually caused chaos at this time!"
"Lord Assassin, this person must be severely punished!"
The group of people below heard the bad news, and you said a word to me, which made Tian Kai's head very big at this time.
I saw him wave his hand and signal everyone to be quiet, and he said expressionlessly: "How many people are in his party?" ”
"About a thousand soldiers!"
"A thousand soldiers?" Tian Kai frowned and said, "Last time Zhang Yide came to help us, he brought two thousand cavalry at one time, what about the soldiers in his hands?" All dead in battle? Is the family of Plains County so powerful? ”
"Lord Qiqi Assassin Shi, as far as I know, before the Beihai Kingdom was besieged by the Yellow Turban Thieves, Kong Beihai sent a general to the plains to find Liu Bei to borrow troops, Liu Bei borrowed 3,000 cavalry to him at one time, and the dangerous situation in the Beihai Kingdom was then solved!"
"Humph! This Liu Bei is really generous, he borrowed 3,000 soldiers and horses at one time, making himself look embarrassed, now that he has lost his land, why did he come to Qi County? Tian Kai said dissatisfiedly: "Send someone to tell him, don't come, let him fall in love with wherever he goes!" ”
"Lord Assassin Shi, don't do it, although Liu Bei is the general of the defeated army now, but after all, he still has a thousand people in his hands, and his two younger brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are all tiger generals in the world, Liu Bei is also a contemporary hero, you refuse him to defect, he has no way out, he will definitely switch to Yuan Shao's men, at that time, he knows the root of us, wouldn't we let others slaughter us, refuse Liu Bei, that is the matter of the relatives and the enemy, please think twice!"
"Another point, Qi County borders Beihai Kingdom, Liu Bei is kind to Kong Rong, the Prime Minister of Beihai Kingdom, and accepts Liu Bei, Kong Beihai and us are friendly partners!"
"It makes sense, that's fine, I'll listen to you!" Tian Kai picked up the wine glass, drank it all again, and said with relief: "Hehe, you still have a few goods in your stomach, I thought you would only slap the horse, it seems that you didn't raise you in vain!" ”
When the people below heard this, they all looked at each other.
"What do we do next?" Tian Kai took a bite of the dish, put it in his mouth, and chewed it.
"Lord Thorn Shi, if we want to expand our territory, we can only go north to the Anle Kingdom and Plains County!"
"Hmm, when I think of Pingyuan County, I get angry, we could have attacked from three sides, besieged Anle Country together, and killed the Yellow Turban thief Sima Ju in one fell swoop, but now it's good, Pingyuan County is lost, lost, I'll go!" Tian Kai angrily slammed the chopsticks in his hand on the desk, and the sound of the knocking frightened the people below for a while.
"The power of Plains County has just changed, and the political situation is still unstable, so adults can attack the Plains at this time!"
"What a play!" Tian Kai said.
"Send Liu Bei as a pioneer, he is familiar with the road there, and he is kind to the local people, it is very suitable to be a pioneer!"
"What about knocking it down? What to do with it? Tian Kai had something to say, he didn't want to hand over the plains to Liu Bei anymore.
"The plain that has been beaten down is naturally a thorn in Shi Darao, when the time comes, you can give an order, let Liu Bei withdraw the army, and our army can take over, if he doesn't follow, we will attack him from behind, our army is strong, and his army is tired after the war, how can it be the opponent of our army!"
"En~ good idea, good idea, this trick is bad!" Tian Kai picked up the chopsticks with relief, and when he picked them up, he found that the chopsticks were broken, so he said to the servants beside him: "These chopsticks are not strong, give me a new pair!" ”
"Okay, let's just decide, let Liu Bei be the pioneer, and send someone to tell Liu ......"
"Report!" Before Tian Kai was finished, a soldier ran in.
"What's the matter?"
"Lord Qiqi, there is an envoy outside the door asking to see you!"
"Envoy? Whose? ”
"This person claims to be the envoy of Xuzhou Mu Taoqian!"
"Let him in!"
"Yes!" When the soldiers had finished, they went out to deliver the envoys.
After a while, a general in armor walked in, and when he saw Tian Kai, he knelt down on one knee and said: "Lord Tian, under is Cao Bao, the general of Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, on the order of my family's Darao, I have come to ask Lord Tian to support my Xuzhou and save the disaster of the people of Xuzhou!" ”
"Xuzhou? What are the disasters in Xuzhou? Tian Kai's eyes widened and he asked in surprise.
"A few days ago, Cao Cao's father Cao Song passed through my Xuzhou, my family was afraid of the arrogance of the Qingxu Yellow Turban thieves, worried about Cao Song's safety, so he sent a general to escort Cao Song, but I didn't expect the general to see the money open, on the way to kill Cao Song's family, Cao Cao's father Cao Song and Cao Cao's younger brother Cao De and others were all killed, Cao Cao learned the news, he thought that it was his previous attack on Xuzhou that made my family have a grudge, so he took this opportunity to instigate his subordinates to kill his father, so Cao Cao led the army, The conquest of Xuzhou is coming! ”
"The result?"
"The result...... The result must be defeat after defeat, otherwise how would my family let me come down and ask for support? Cao Bao said with his head drooping.
"Tut-tut, this defeat is too fast, is this eunuch's descendant really so powerful, why don't I believe it?" Tian Kai took a sip of wine and said.
"My lord, Cao Cao is really strong in war, and our Danyang soldiers are also experienced in a hundred battles, but Cao Cao doesn't follow the routine at all, he is especially good at playing conspiracy and tricks, and it really gives our army a headache!"
"I know, you go down first, if you don't send troops, we have to discuss!" Tian Kai casually took a bite of the dish.
"I implore Lord Assassin Shi to make a decision as soon as possible, my Xuzhou military and civilians can't wait long!"
"I know, I know!" Tian Kai waved his hand and motioned for someone to take Cao Bao down to rest!
After Cao Bao left, Tian Kai patted his thigh and said, "Oh, what should I do?" Now let's go to the plains or fight Cao Cao! ”
"In the next opinion, to fight the plains, one is that the rebels in the plains are weak, and they have just won, the political situation is unstable, and Liu Bei is the vanguard, and the plains are almost within reach; On the other hand, Tao Qian, he has been operating in Xuzhou for many years, it is impossible to be beaten down so quickly, if we go now, maybe it is to give other lack of live targets, moreover, this Cao Cao is not to be looked down upon, once Qingxu Yellow Turban thieves invaded Yanzhou, Yanzhou Assassin Liu Dai led the army to attack, but was killed, and later Cao Cao in Zhang Miao and Bao Xin with the support, became the Yanzhou assassin history, he led the army to attack, not only the Yellow Turban thieves were completely driven out of Yanzhou, but also incorporated 300,000 Qingzhou army, the force is not strong; Yuan Shu went north to fight for hegemony in the Central Plains with Cao Cao, Cao Cao not only defeated Yuan Shu in one fell swoop, but also retracted his hand to defeat Tao Qian, Cao's army is first-class in terms of military strength and military mobility, if we send troops to help Tao defeat Cao now, it will undoubtedly form a strong enemy, and even if we repel Cao Cao, we can get anything, nothing can be obtained, so I think that we should attack the plain, so that not only input, but also fast and big benefits! ”
"What about you?" Tian Kai glanced at the others.
"Seconded below!"
"Seconded below!"
......
Tian Kai saw that the people below all agreed to crusade against the plain, and he thought about it carefully, now seize the time to attack the plain, wait for the plain to be recovered, if his army is mobile, he can return to the army to help Tao Qian, wouldn't this kill two birds with one stone, and by that time, the armies of Tao Qian and Cao Cao were almost defeated, and wouldn't it be beautiful to have a sandpiper and mussel to compete for the benefit of the fisherman, so that the crisis in the south would be solved, and his own power could be extended to Xuzhou and Yanzhou, so what was Yuan Shao afraid of.
At this time, he coughed a few times and said, "Take that Cao ...... Cao Bao, oops, why is he also surnamed Cao, it's really funny, the person with the surname Cao beats the person with the surname Cao...... Call here! ”
"Yes! My lord! ”
It didn't take long for Cao Bao to run in and said excitedly, "My lord, have you thought about it?" ”
"Well, after thinking about it, Ben Thorn Shi decided not to rescue Xuzhou first, and after Ben Thorn Shi attacked the plains and recovered the territory, he would return to the army to help your family crusade against Cao Cao!"
"You can't do that, sir!" Cao Bao was dumbfounded when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "My lord, my family is your ally, you can't see death without help, when you return to the army, Xuzhou has already been accepted by Cao Cao, my lord, I beg you!" ”
"I didn't save this assassin history, but now there is something wrong, can't I save it later, ah!" Tian Kai closed his eyes in disgust and said, "Pull it out!" ”
"Your Excellency, you can't die without help, Your Excellency!" In this way, Cao Bao was forcibly pulled out.
