Chapter 342: Tao Qian's Death

"Listen to Childe's intention to leave?" Xun Yan asked.

Yuan Yao nodded, and did not hide in this aspect, and said: "It's almost a few days, I've been in Jingzhou long enough, if I don't go back, I'm afraid my father will be terrible." ”

Xun Yan just smiled when he heard this, and didn't say anything.

Yuan Yao continued at this time: "Xun Taishou, this time I will go back to Runan, the five military horses under my command, Wei Yan has already stayed in Jiangling City, obeying you and General Pan's dispatch, and General Xiahou's injuries have also improved, and he will return to Nanyang with us by the way, and the other Huang Zhong, Wen Ping, and Zhang Zhongjing will all go with me, you can't have any other ideas." ”

Xun Yan said: "Childe, do you think I, Xun Yan, am that kind of person?" ”

"It's hard to say."

Xun Yan and Yuan Yao looked at each other, and finally laughed in unison.

Xun Yan said again at this time: "Childe, there is another person who may need to go to Runan with Gongzi." ”

"Oh, who?" Yuan Yao asked with a trace of doubt in his heart.

Xun Yan said: "Jingzhou Kuailiang." ”

"Kuailiang?" Yuan Yao's mind suddenly appeared with Kuai Liang's appearance, and said, "He didn't die in the battle where Zhou Yu ambushed Liu Biao?" ”

Xun Yan shook his head and said: "No, in that battle, Zhou Yu became famous all over the world, Liu Biao, Cai Mao, and Zhang Yun all died, but this Kuai Liang was lucky and survived, not long ago he came to Xiangyang City, and made it clear that he wanted to see me, and then I went out of the city to meet him, he said that he was willing to join the lord, and only asked the lord to finally avenge Liu Biao." ”

"Xun Taishou, according to what you see, is this Kuailiang's surrender true or false?" Yuan Yao asked with some uncertainty: "After all, we also fought with Liu Biao before, and many important ministers in Jingzhou died in our hands. ”

Xun Yan said: "My subordinates thought it should be true. ”

"How so?"

Xun Yan paused and said, "Because of Jingzhou now, he has no other place to go." ”

Yuan Yao thought about it and found that this was indeed the case.

The current Jingzhou is a rivalry between the forces of Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, and Zhou Yu and Sun Ce on Sun Jian's side are the culprits who led to the death of Kuailiang's lord Liu Biao and his brother Kuaiyue, and it is impossible for Kuailiang to join Sun Jian's side. Except for Sun Jian's side, if Kuai Liang wants to continue to stay in Jingzhou, he can only choose Yuan Shu's side.

Although Yuan Shu's side had also fought with Liu Biao before, compared with Jiangdong's side, the hatred was obviously much lower, at least not a life-and-death feud.

Yuan Yao said: "Where is Kuai Liang now?" ”

"Arranged by his subordinates in Xiangyang City, this person has a lot to do, and his subordinates dare not make a decision if he doesn't come back." Xun Yan said.

Yuan Yao said: "I'm afraid I can't make a decision on this matter, so let him leave with me, go to Runan, and wait until my father comes back from Xuzhou to make a decision." ”

"That's what my subordinates think, too."

After saying this, Yuan Yao looked at Xun Yan and found that Xun Yan looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and couldn't help asking, "Xun Taishou, do you have anything else?" ”

Xun Yan said: "Childe, you also know that there are six counties in Jingzhou now under our control, except for Nanyang County, the rest of the five counties are all managed by one person, and now there is more Wuxi Man attached, and the subordinates really only have the power of one person, so the subordinates hope that Gongzi can go back this time so that the lord can transfer one person to Jingzhou to relieve the pressure on his subordinates." ”

Yuan Yao smiled when he heard this, and said, "Xun Taishou, then who are you fanciing this time?" ”

Without waiting for Xun Yan to speak, Yuan Yao just raised his cheeks and made a thoughtful gesture, and said: "Now there are many new people under my father's command, Zao Yi, Jia Kui, Zhao Yan, Du Xi, and Fanqin, they are all good talents, and any person who is transferred over can serve as Xun Taishou's deputy." ”

Xun Yan smiled at this time: "Childe, this is obviously asking knowingly, the people you mentioned are indeed good, but they are not the candidates that your subordinates want." ”

Yuan Yao showed a sly look on his face, and said: "If these new people under my father's command are not them, then the others can be mobilized to Jingzhou only the two in the library pavilion, but my father is now in Xuzhou, Zang Hong has governed Guangling before, and he has a lot of contacts in Xuzhou, so it is impossible for him to go south to Jingzhou at this time, so there is only one person." ”

Yuan Yao looked directly at Xun Yan and said, "Xun Taishou, you have taken a fancy to Hu Zhao and Hu Kongming." ”

Xun Yan smiled and said: "Childe is really smart, but I think this matter is not a bad thing for Childe, Hu Zhao is too condescending in the library pavilion, such an opportunity to get him out of the library pavilion is not bad, I think the main guild agrees to this matter." ”

Yuan Yao said: "Xun Taishou, don't talk too much, I will go back and tell my father about this matter, but I don't dare to pack a ticket if my father really adjusts Hu Zhao in the end." ”

Xun Yan said: "It's okay, it's not Hu Kongming, just any one of the other sons." ”

"Haha!" Yuan Yao laughed out loud at this time.

After a while, this major matter was almost discussed, Yuan Yao's demeanor was also a little relaxed, looked at Xun Yan, and asked: "Xun Taishou, what is the situation in Xuzhou now, I just came back from Jingnan, and I didn't get any news about this, you should know some of the latest information here." ”

Xun Yan nodded, looked at Yuan Yao, and said, "Childe, Tao Qian is dead." ”

"Dead?" Yuan Yao frowned and asked, "In whose hands did he die?" ”

"I don't know." Xun Yan gave Yuan Yao such an answer with a bitter face.

"Don't know?" Yuan Yao was also stunned by Xun Yan's answer, and asked, "What is the situation?" ”

Xun Yan said: "According to the news obtained by his subordinates, after Cao Cao raised troops to attack Xuzhou, the lord, Liu Bei and Sun Jian all sent troops one after another, so Xuzhou had the five princes gathered, and the situation was extremely chaotic. At the beginning, the lord marched into Xiapi County, Sun Jian sent troops to Guangling County, Liu Bei went south from Langya, and Cao Cao sent troops from Langya and Pengcheng, and the soldiers were directed at Xiapi City. When Cao Cao captured Langya, he led his troops to slaughter the city for three days, and the chickens and dogs were not left, but fortunately, even if Liu Bei in Qingzhou arrived with his troops and confronted Cao Cao, he did not let this disaster spread. ”

Yuan Yao nodded, Cao Cao's slaughter of the city in the original trajectory was not so effectively stopped, that time Cao Cao can be said to have caused a lot of killings in Xuzhou, but in this life, Liu Bei sent troops from Qingzhou, Cao Cao's troops were not as sharp as the original, and the killing caused was not as serious as in the original trajectory.

"And what's next?" Yuan Yao knew that the chaos in Xuzhou would definitely not end here.
