Chapter 235: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron

In the early morning of the second day, as soon as he got up from the bed, Yan Shao saw two girls with beautiful faces standing in front of the couch, still holding things for washing in their hands. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info Seeing that Yan Shao had woken up, the two of them hurriedly greeted him.

"Your Excellency..."

These two are the two who were responsible for warming Yan Shao's bed after they arrived yesterday. Since crossing over, Yan Shao has not made much progress, and he has become corrupt a lot, and he has not resolutely rejected this sugar-coated shell. If it weren't for the long time I tossed along the way, I finally arrived in Xuzhou, but I was afraid that I would have fallen under the sugar-coated cannonball.

"Hmm..." lifted the quilt on his body, and Yan Shao stretched.

There was no need for him to do anything more, the two girls had already come over and helped him complete the washing and changing, which was already a rare enjoyment for ordinary people. If there's anything you're not used to, I'm afraid it's the toiletries of this era. Unlike later generations, there were no towels at this time, and the one used to wipe the face was basically a brocade cloth or something.

It's good-looking, but the practicality is greatly reduced, and it's not comfortable to use at all. Even though he has traveled to this era for a long time, Yan Shao is still a little unaccustomed to these things.

Every time at this time, Yan Shao will miss everything before the crossing...

Maybe he was just a poor and stupid boy at that time, but a lot of things are really inseparable...

"Okay, is everyone else up?"

Putting on the clothes that had been taken care of, and looking at himself in the bronze mirror, Yan Shao asked.

"Several adults have already gotten up and are waiting outside...", helping Yan Shao fix his hair, one of the girls replied.

For being sent to wait for Yan Shao, the two of them did not have too much rejection. Raised in the house, their task was to wait for the guests who came, so that people could feel at home. Over the years, because of their special beauty, they have never been sent out, after all, the so-called guests are also divided into three, six, nine and so on. But both knew very well that the day would come sooner or later, and that when that time came, it would be better to serve a young and heroic hero than to serve an old man who was old enough to be their grandfather, right?

What's more, Yan Shao is still a hero in Xuzhou, and the two of them are really so willing...

"I'm already up..."Hearing this, Yan Shao nodded, walked out of the door, and left the two girls in the room.

After going out, Yan Shao saw that Zhao Yun and the others were already waiting in the hall.

"Lord!" Zhao Yun and the others clasped their fists and saluted.

When passing by a few people, Yan Shao could clearly smell a bit of rouge from Gan Ning, Guan Hai and the others, and there was also a hint of spring on the faces of several people.

I have to say that Yan Shao is also envious of the good physique of these guys. He didn't want to control it last night, he really tossed it for so long, he just didn't want to control it. On the other hand, Gan Ning and the others did what they had to do, and they didn't delay.

Among the people who came to Xuzhou this time, I am afraid that only Li Ru and Zhao Yun are left, and they are still clean.

The latter is self-purification, as for the former...

To be reasonable, just based on what Hua Tuo made out of his face, he really arranged a woman, I am afraid that the woman will be scared to death.

And now Li Ruman only has the word revenge in his mind, and he doesn't have much interest in women at all, so there is no need to do such superfluous things.

"Guys, what's going on outside?"

Finding a place to sit down, Yan Shao asked.

"Someone from Xuzhou just came to report that the Cao army has begun to prepare a new batch of sieges..." The Xuzhou side was still asking just now, can we fight with our army outside the city with Cao Jun to save some initiative? ”

"How did that old guy Tao Qian come up with such an idea?" Yan Shao was a little surprised, he didn't know why Tao Qian suddenly wanted to take the initiative, you must know that Tao Qian was quite cowardly before. No matter how Cao Jun burned and looted outside the city, he never considered such an option as going out of the city to face the battle. ,

"I guess it's because of the arrival of our army?" Li Ru touched his chin.

Since he arrived under Yan Shao's account, he has always wanted to keep a low profile, which is also what Yan Shao wants. Li Ru's identity is really a little too sensitive, although the things that happened in Luoyang and Chang'an were done by Dong Zhuo instead of him, but as Dong Zhuo's number one dog, half of these things were his ideas.

While the people of the world hated Dong Zhuo to the bone, they did not leave Li Ru behind. If it weren't for the news from Chang'an that Li Ru had died in the hands of Wang Yun, I am afraid that there would still be many people looking for Li Ru's whereabouts―――――― on the one hand, it is to avenge the country's hatred, and the other is to make a name for himself.

If Li Ru is dealt with, if nothing else, his prestige will definitely soar, and no matter which prince he is in, he will receive extremely high bandwidth, especially with the two brothers of the Yuan family. As one of the culprits of the Yuan family's annihilation, Li Ru is second only to Dong Zhuo on the Yuan family's blacklist.

It's a pity that even if Li Ru wants to keep a low profile, people like him can't keep a low profile. Especially the injury on his face is hard to forget. Fortunately, with Hua Tuo's craftsmanship, there are probably not many people who can see him, even if there are people who are familiar with him, I believe that they are not interested in staring at a burned and disfigured face for a long time.

Coupled with his hoarse voice, the only similarity between Li Ru now and himself in the past is probably only his figure. However, there are many people in the world who are similar in shape, and I believe that no one will care about a dead person, right?

"The arrival of our army?"

"Not bad." Li Ru nodded and explained. "Xuzhou was rich before, but the martial arts were not very popular, Tao Qian only paid attention to the family and not the ability, so that the heroes with bad backgrounds under his account had almost no possibility of getting ahead, and the generals in Xuzhou were also incompetent people such as Cao Bao, you can imagine the overall situation in Xuzhou. And Cao Cao is the hero of the world, not to mention the generals of the Cao family in the army, just the generals with foreign surnames are not ordinary, Tao Qianjun will not be an opponent at all, and under the successive defeats, the morale of the army is almost lost..."

"Originally, if I couldn't wait, Tao Qian, who didn't have any generals, was probably trapped in Xiapi, and I would talk about it after Cao Jun's food and grass were not enough, but now that I am waiting, I guess the people around Tao Qian should also put some pressure on him. Our army is like a cloud, far from Xuzhou soldiers and horses, this time with 5,000 elite cavalry to come, if it is combined with Xuzhou soldiers and horses, the odds of victory are not small, Xuzhou is the gathering place of the family lords, the strength is not small, even Tao Qian has to look at their faces. During this time, Cao Cao caused a lot of damage in Xuzhou, not to mention the displacement of the people, the loss of these family valves was not small. It's just that they have lost consecutive battles before, and they don't have much confidence to compete with Cao Cao, even if the loss is big, they can only swallow their anger. But now that our army is here, it also gives them the confidence to compete with Cao Cao, if they can repel Cao Cao, not to mention how many losses they can recover, at least they can make the losses not expand..."

Yes, those family lords in Xuzhou have long been dissatisfied with their losses, but Tao Qian obviously can't do Cao Cao, even if they are dissatisfied, it is useless.

Now that Yan Shao is here, it suddenly makes their minds come alive. Although the previous losses are definitely irreparable, if you can recapture the city that was captured by Cao Cao one day earlier, you can also recover your losses one day earlier, right?

So almost that night, these family lords in Xuzhou had already gone to talk to Tao Qian, hoping that he could send troops with Yan Shao to repel Cao Cao―――――― anyway, Yan Shao had originally come to Xuzhou to help, this is also what should be done, right?

Hearing Li Ru say that the generals in Xuzhou were not as good as those in Qingzhou, Gan Ning and the others were all colorful, and after hearing that Tao Qian only paid attention to his background and reputation, they also showed disdain.

If you want to talk about Yan Shao's side, there is a more obvious place that most of the civil and military forces under his command are from ordinary backgrounds. For example, Zhao Yun and Guan Hai are all from poor backgrounds, and the others dare not say how noble they are, at most they can be called poor, they can be regarded as some family backgrounds, but they are not many of them.

This also makes them not very interested in people like Yuan Shao or Tao Qian, who value their background.

"Lord, do I want to help?" Standing up from the side, Gan Ning asked.

Everyone else also looked at it, although they didn't think much of Tao Qian, but just like Li Ru said, they came to help, and it didn't seem to be anything sooner or later.

"The help must be helped, but it depends on us alone, when will it be finished, and now that Qingzhou is newly determined, I can't wait too long to leave Qingzhou..." If you want to repel Cao Cao, you still need some other methods, go, you wait for me to go to Tao Qian's trip and do the thing..."

Zhao Yun and the others glanced at each other and said in unison. "No!"

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

Going out of the mansion, Yan Shao and the others had already turned over their horses and walked in the direction of the state pastor's mansion under the escort of the soldiers. At this time, Tao Qian had just gotten up, and as an old man, Tao Qian's energy was still relatively abundant. If it weren't for the siege of Cao Jun, I'm afraid that he would have already entertained himself.

But now, he had a worried look on his face. "Zizhong, do you think Yan Fuxian will agree to my request?"

"Fujun rest assured..."For Tao Qian, Mi Zhu is still more respectful, and he said when he heard this. We spent so much money to invite Yan Shao to come, originally to ask him to help repel Cao Cao, I believe Yan Shao himself knows very well, as long as we don't want to consume his soldiers and horses, why is he unwilling? What's more, Qingzhou is not long in Xinding, and I believe that he himself is not willing to stay in Xuzhou for too long, so..."

Hearing Mi Zhu's meaning, Tao Qian's face showed a hint of relief. "If it weren't for you and Yuanlong to help, I really don't know what to do..."

I have to say that this is also a miracle, under the hands of people like Tao Qian who pay attention to their background, there are two talented people like Mi Zhu and Chen Deng to assist. However, considering that people in this era cannot receive good education without some family background, this does not seem to be a very surprising thing.

Almost as he was talking, he saw someone outside walk in and bow to the two of them.

"Mansion Jun, my lord, Yan Qingzhou and his generals have already arrived, and now they are outside the mansion..."

"Quick, please ask them later, the old man will go and invite them in immediately..."

No way, who told them to beg for someone now? If it were the usual, there would be no need to be so eager even if you want to go out to greet you, but this time is different...

When the group walked out of the mansion, they happened to see Yan Shao and several other people standing outside waiting. The two sides exchanged pleasantries, walked in, and after a while, they talked about business.

"Not long ago, the old man has sent someone to send the proposal over, I don't know what to do with Fu Xian's intentions?"

Although Mi Zhu said very clearly that Yan Shao and his Qingzhou army were equivalent to mercenaries favored by them with food, Tao Qian still had no way to face the other party too hard.

"Is this..."Yan Shao glanced at the others and nodded. Since I have come to Xuzhou, I have come for this, and if you have any instructions, it doesn't hurt to say it, but..."

Speaking of which, Yan Shao said with a straight face. "Cao Cao's plot against Xuzhou this time, and in the name of killing his father's revenge, I am afraid it is not an easy thing for us to let him withdraw from the army, even if Cao Cao is repelled, it will cost a huge price to repel it from Xuzhou, it is really not worth it, Shao rested yesterday, and discussed it with the advisers under the account, and felt that there was a way to easily repel Cao Cao, or even let him withdraw from Xuzhou by himself..."

"Oh?" Tao Qian and the others were a little surprised.

If Cao Cao could retreat without a fight, it would naturally be better, Tao Qian hurriedly asked. "I don't know how, please tell me quickly..."

Yan Shao had long wanted to sell the attention that he came up with Li Ru yesterday, and he opened his mouth to explain. "It's not easy to repel Cao Cao, at least in order to avenge his father's death, he will definitely not retreat easily, it's like a piece of firewood, how can it be extinguished before he burns out? Cao Cao's revenge is the same..."
