"Sure enough, it's a brilliant plan." After hearing this, Cao Cao was immediately amazed, and said to Cheng Yu: "As long as this plan is implemented, this Xuzhou will be in my pocket sooner or later." ”

Then Cao Cao decided to do what Cheng Yu said, so early the next morning, Cao Cao rode out of the queue alone, came to Tao Qian's camp, and said loudly: "Where is Tao Gongzu?" I led the army to come this time, not for other things, but for revenge, the revenge of killing my father, not to share the sky, even if you invited the king of heaven Lao Tzu, I also want to avenge this, in order to take revenge, I do not hesitate to burn jade! I heard that you are a benevolent elder, are you willing to plunge the whole of Xuzhou into war for the sake of this hatred? I also know that it was not you who harmed my father, but after all, the murderer is under your rule, and you are not exempt from the responsibility, if you are truly benevolent, come and talk to me, if you are willing to promise to help me take revenge, I do not want to embarrass you. ”

Tao Qian, who was in the camp, couldn't help but move in his heart after hearing this, if the crisis could be resolved through negotiation, it would naturally be something he couldn't ask for, so he ignored the persuasion of Fascinated and others, insisted on walking out of the camp, and said to Cao Cao: "Meng De, if you want to say according to my friendship with Ling Zun, I should still call you a good nephew, but it's a pity, your father died because of me, I really don't have the face to call you that, but I used to have a relationship with your father, this must be known to you, if not, At the beginning, your father couldn't live in Langya, but it's a pity that the traitor Zhang Min actually saw the wealth and temporarily moved the evil idea of killing your father, which led to the death of your father, Tao deeply regretted this, the first time I heard the news, I ordered to capture the thief and avenge your father, but unfortunately the thief was very vigilant, and when my order was delivered, Zhang Min's thief had surrendered to Yuan Shu, Meng De, you also know that Yuan Shu's power is constantly expanding, and it is the time of complacency, Although he has an alliance with me, he refuses to extradite the thief to me, but Meng De, don't worry, I, Tao Qian, promise you here, sooner or later, I will catch the thief Zhang and hand it over to Meng De to you, if you violate this oath, teach me Tao Qian to die without a place to be buried......"

"Hmph, you say so much, it's just a pretext, I just got an empty guarantee from you, but when will my father's ghost rest under the Nine Springs? If you don't show enough sincerity today, I will definitely not hesitate to fight with you! "What kind of person is Cao Cao? At a glance, it can be seen that although there is nothing wrong with Tao Qian's words, there is actually only one word, that is, "drag", how can the shrewd Cao Cao allow Tao Qian to drag it out like this? He can't even afford it.

So Cao Cao spoke like this, and asked Tao Qian to come up with something real, don't think that the crisis can be resolved just by relying on a few lips and tongues.

Tao Qian smiled bitterly when he heard this, if Zhang Min was still in Xuzhou, he would be able to kill them one by one even if he had ten lives, but now that Zhang Min has arrived in Huainan, even if he has the ability, it is impossible to snatch Zhang Min back from Yuan Shu's hands, and then kill him to avenge Cao Song.

"Hehe, although Zhang Min has fled, what about his family? Even if her family fled, would his people flee with them? You can kill his family and clansmen in Xuzhou and avenge my father, in this way, although Zhang Thief is still at large, but my father's hatred can finally be resolved, and the lives of Zhang Min's family and clansmen in exchange for the stability of the entire Xuzhou, whether it is cost-effective, I believe you can finally calculate this account, if you insist on disagreeing, I will definitely wash Xuzhou in blood, even if the jade is burned, I will definitely not hesitate! ”

Cao Cao's attitude was still tough, but he had actually compromised in his words, and Tao Qian also understood that as long as he could kill Zhang Min's family and clansmen and let Cao Cao have a step down, this matter could be over for the time being.

In fact, as early as the first time after Zhang Min fled, Tao Qian had already controlled Zhang Min's family and clansmen, after all, Zhang Min's murder was also a temporary intention to kill people and then fled immediately, where is the time to take care of his family and clansmen? However, Tao Qian had the idea that he was not guilty of his wife and children, and only controlled Zhang Min's family and clansmen, restricting their personal freedom, and did not take them to prison or execute.

Although Tao Qian still thinks that it is right to say that the sin is not as good as his wife and children, but now after all, the situation is stronger than people, in order to be able to calm the hasty anger and save the people of Xuzhou, Tao Qian feels that it is definitely worth it to save Xuzhou with the lives of Zhang Min's family and clansmen, so that Xuzhou can avoid a greater disaster.

Therefore, Tao Qian could no longer care about the morality in his heart, and immediately ordered the arrest of Zhang Min's family and clansmen, and beheaded him in front of the two armies, so that Cao Cao could breathe a bad breath in his chest, so as to resolve the current disaster.

Only half a day later, Tao Qian had already brought Zhang Min's family and clansmen to the battlefield and beheaded them all on the charge of rebellion.

"Meng De, you have also seen, in order to show my sincerity, I have killed all the family and clansmen of the thief Zhang in public, so as to pay tribute to Ling Zun's spirit in the sky, as for that Zhang Min, I will definitely not give up the pursuit of him, sooner or later I will definitely capture this thief, personally send it to your account, and hand it over to you for disposal, in addition, I will also compensate 100,000 stone grain, 5,000 pieces of silk, and 10 million yuan as the cost of bereavement Ling Zun, and send my son to personally mourn Ling Zun, in order to show my repentance, I wonder if Meng De can agree to fight with me into a jade silk?"

"Hmph, Tao Gongzu, what you said is really a bit ridiculous, how can you exchange some wealth for killing your father? If I did, what would the world think of me? Cao Cao sneered when he heard this, although he found the bottom of the steps, but suddenly felt that such a step was really detrimental to his image, so he decided to let the other party add more weight, and it was best to promise to give some counties to his jurisdiction.

However, at this moment, I saw Chengyu hurriedly come and said anxiously to Cao Cao: "Cao Gong, according to the report of the spies, Yang Feng, the new assassin of the imperial court and the state, suddenly attacked and killed Zhang Yang, the Taishou of Hanoi, and annexed Hanoi, contacted the Xiongnu, and wanted to be unfavorable to the imperial court. ”

After hearing this, Cao Cao immediately said: "Hmph, Tao Gongzu, since the Son of Heaven has called, I dare not return, this matter is over for the time being, I hope you can fulfill your promise, and quickly catch the real culprit, if not, when the Hanoi rebellion is quelled, I will definitely raise troops again, and avenge my father at all costs!" ”

"Haha, please rest assured at this point, I will definitely fulfill my promise." Hearing Cao Cao say this, Tao Qian's heart suddenly felt extremely relaxed, and he hurriedly smiled and agreed, but he didn't know that he had now fallen into Cao Cao's conspiracy and tricks, which plunged the entire Xuzhou into a greater crisis.
