Cao Cao had no choice but to retreat and return to Yanzhou, but Tao Qian was even more worried at this time. He can't be worried, because although the tiger at the door of the house is gone for the time being, he has lured the wolf into the house. That's right, Tao Qian is thinking like this now. Liu Bei is not going to leave Xuzhou, and he is afraid that Cao Cao will attack again, so he can only stay a little longer to prevent Cao Cao. It's just that how long this time is, and no one knows how to do it.

During this period, Liu Bei visited many of his subordinates, but Tao Qian also turned a blind eye to this and didn't care about anything. But Liu Bei's intentions, Tao Qian himself still knows the Tao, especially now that his health is getting worse and worse, he is already sick, so the next Xuzhou Mu, he Liu Bei Liu Xuande may not have a little thought about this.

So, just like that, Tao Qian, the old fox, came to Xuzhou and tested Liu Bei. As a result, Liu Bei insisted on not accepting it, no matter what Tao Qian said, Liu Bei just didn't accept this. In the end, there was no choice, this time Tao Qian could only give up, but he was more worried in his heart. What is it, just because of Liu Bei, if you want to say that he Liu Xuande is a real villain, Tao Qian can still rest assured.

Because of this, after his death, let Liu Xuande take care of his two unsuccessful sons on his behalf, and he Liu Bei must have no problem, so he will feel much more at ease. Therefore, even if Xuzhou gave him Liu Xuande, he would have nothing to do, nothing to be reluctant to.

But the facts have proved that he, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, is a hypocrite, originally he really wanted the seal of this state pastor in his heart, but he still showed that he didn't value it. So can Tao Qian not worry about his two sons, after a hundred years, whether he gave this Xuzhou to him Liu Xuande. Or if he Liu Xuande seized Xuzhou by himself, his two sons will not have a very good end. Maybe Liu Bei won't really kill them, but how they can live, it is estimated that no one will pay attention to it anymore.

After that, Tao Qian tested Liu Bei again, and let Xuzhou come to Xuzhou, but this time Liu Bei's acting skills were even more superb, and he directly took out his saber and almost wiped his neck. This frightened Tao Qian, of course he was not frightened by Liu Bei wiping his neck. Of course, he knew that it was all fake. But it is not difficult to see from Liu Bei's actions that this person is a heroic figure, and sooner or later the world will have his Liu Bei Liu Xuande's great name.

Tao Qian was really frightened, and he was even more worried, and as a result, he couldn't afford to get sick. No way. Originally, he had been in poor health before, but this came out with a serious heart disease. There is no cure. Originally, Tao Qian also thought about it. Did he use some extraordinary means to kill Liu Bei, but he didn't expect that Liu Bei seemed to have expected this hand, and as a result, he said to Tao Qian, "Bei has been letting Ziyi teach the two sons martial arts recently, and the two sons have practiced well!" ”

As a result, Tao Qian listened. I was terrified. "The older the rivers and lakes, the less guts you have", what Tao Qian is most afraid of now is not Cao Cao in Yanzhou, but Liu Bei and Liu Xuande in front of him. Liu Bei said that he asked Tai Shici to teach his two sons martial arts. I don't know if there is anything about it. But he told himself one thing, that is, if I Liu Bei has something in Xuzhou, then your two sons of Tao Qian will definitely not be any better, at least I can't live, and they won't survive.

Can Tao Qian not be afraid, Liu Bei grabbed his weakness at this moment. He is over sixty years old, and he has two unsuccessful sons, the eldest son Tao Shang and the second son Tao Ying, but if he really gives Liu Bei something, then he will be dead, and the gains outweigh the losses, and the gains outweigh the losses.

What kind of martial arts is Tai Shi Ci, Tao Qian knows too well. I want to fight Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian under Bishui Pass back then, isn't there one of him Donglai Taishi Ci Taishi Ziyi, that is a general on the battlefield, with superb martial arts, and no one in Xuzhou is an opponent.

Tao Qian really had no choice, he was seriously ill, and he was also subject to Liu Bei, and then it seemed that this Xuzhou Mu could only give him Liu Xuande. As for his two sons, let them take some belongings as soon as possible and leave Xuzhou. At least if it wasn't under his Liu Xuande's control, they might still be alive and well-

On this day, Tao Qian specially called the potter and Tao Ying, his two unsuccessful sons, to his bedside.

Of course, this matter is all to avoid Liu Bei. He didn't dare to let Liu Bei know that he was old and not Liu Xuande's opponent, although Tao Qian was resentful, but he was really helpless against Liu Bei. There is no way, Liu Bei is the same as ever, at least there are few people in Xuzhou who are his opponents. That is, Guangling's Chen father and son can compete with Liu Bei, but Tao Qian still knows Chen and his son very well. They don't care who will be the Xuzhou pastor, they only care about the interests of their own family.

In other words, whether it is to be the Xuzhou pastor, or Cao Mengde or even Liu Xuande, the Chen father and son will not care about this. What they say they care about is only whether the new state pastor can damage the interests of their Guangling Chen family, in Xuzhou, the Guangling Chen family is definitely a big family, so if you don't harm their interests, you can do a good job as a state pastor. But on the other hand, then you don't want to be the Xuzhou pastor for a few days.

Others may not know the strength of the Chen family in Guangling, as well as the ability of the Chen family and his son, but Tao Qian knows a little bit about the Dao, so even he, the state pastor, can't be afraid of its three points, which shows how powerful they are.

However, Tao Qian also knew that although the relationship between Liu Xuande and Chen's father and son was not very good, it was not evil, and it was okay. So even if Liu Xuande becomes this Xuzhou pastor, as long as he does not harm the interests of his family, then internally, he can sit safely.

So after thinking of Tao Qian here, he made the most difficult decision. And he also knew that his body knew best, that is, the matter of the past two days, so after arranging his two sons, he would have nothing to worry about. As for the state pastor, since he Liu Xuande wants it. Then give Xuzhou to him. As long as he can resist Cao Mengde in Yanzhou at the end, then his position as a state pastor can indeed be considered stable for a while.

The two brothers, Tao Shang and Tao Ying, although they are not successful, but seeing their father so haggard on the couch now, their hearts are also uncomfortable.

"Father!" "Father!"

Both of them are not small, but in Tao Qian's eyes, they are still two unsuccessful children.

He smiled and said to the two, "Shang'er, Ying'er, you all sit!" ”

After the two listened to their father's words. Sit down.

Tao Qian told the two of them a lot of things, all of which were troubles when the two of them were children, and when they were old, he Tao Qian also loved to remember these things. Originally, the two lost their mothers when they were young, and Tao Qian brought them up. But Tao Qian as a father. A lot has been done, but education has been relatively unsuccessful. At least his two sons can be said to be gentlemen. It's not a big deal.

But even so. Tao Qian also thinks it's good to live peacefully. It's a pity, in troubled times, it is difficult to be alone, and without the protection of his own wings in the future, I don't know what will happen to my two sons.

Tao Qian took out a letter from himself and handed it to his eldest son, Tao Shang. Then he said to the two: "You can leave Xuzhou tonight, take your father's handwritten letter to Liangzhou, and find Liangzhou Shepherd Horse Chaoma Mengqi, after he read it." Naturally, you will be well protected! ”

The potter and the potter should listen, what? Let yourself go to Ma Chao? What did his father think, so he looked embarrassed, Tao Qian looked at it, he was so angry, and said: "Go or not, you want me to die early, so you don't have to go!" ”

When the two heard this, they hurriedly agreed, but Tao Ying said: "Father, now that you are in this body, if my eldest brother and I leave, this ......"

Tao Qian shook his head, "'Life and death are fate', I, Tao Gongzu, have already seen it, it's not a big deal." You hurry up, don't think of him, if you want me to die without turning a blind eye, then stay in Xuzhou, don't have to go anywhere! ”

There was no way, the two could only tearfully nod and agree.

At this time, Tao Qian said: "Let the sword accompany you, and he will be responsible for protecting you in the future." And he has the possessions that his father has left for you, and I am relieved that he is there! ”

After speaking, I don't know where Lu Dao came out of a middle-aged man in his thirties, what is his name, Tao Qian doesn't know Lu Dao, he said that his name is Jian, he is a ranger, and the other Tao Qian don't know Lu Dao. This person is a person rescued by Tao Qian more than ten years ago, and in order to repay his kindness, he decided to give Tao Qian his life for thirty years, thirty years, and there is not much difference from a lifetime. And Tao Qian really trusted him, so he asked him to go to Liangzhou with his two sons. And he left a lot of money to his two sons, but he was afraid that they would squander it, so it was all in the hands of the sword. Looking at this, it is not difficult to know that Tao Qian trusts this person.

Tao Qian looked at the sword and said, "Dog, please leave it to Your Excellency!" ”

Jian nodded, "Don't worry, I'm here, they're here!" ”

Tao Qian nodded slightly, and then waved his hand at them, "Okay, you guys are ready to leave, even if Liu Xuande knows the way, he won't embarrass you!" ”

The three of them left, Tao Qian actually thought simply, even if Liu Bei knew that his two sons were gone tonight, he wouldn't do anything. Because what he did was obviously telling him Liu Xuande, my two sons let me send them away, so this Xuzhou Mu will be your Liu Xuande's sooner or later.

That's true, if you don't give him Liu Bei, who else can you give this position to? Therefore, Tao Qian also knew the way, and it was impossible for Liu Bei not to know the way, so he was still very relieved that his two sons left.

As for Ma Chao, Tao Qian also has some bottom in his heart. Although I had an unpleasant relationship with him, after all, many years have passed, and it can only be once, and the two have no blood feud, and the deep hatred is not an unsolvable feud. Therefore, Tao Qian feels that now that he has let his two sons go to Liangzhou to join him, Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi, he Ma Mengqi looks at the face of his own handwritten letter, how can he protect his son.

For Tao Qian, in front of him Ma Mengqi, he is no longer a Xuzhou pastor, but a dying man, a father of two sons, begging him to protect his two sons, so that even if he is dead, he will always remember his great kindness. (To be continued......)
