Chapter 287
Treachery is definitely spurned in this era, not only by individuals, but even by the entire family. So in this era of focusing on faithfulness www.biquge.info few people will commit perfidy. However, if the reputation of treachery is not on oneself, then the problem is not serious.
For those scholars in Xuzhou, this is the case right now.
Treachery is true, but this reputation is on Tao Qian. In the eyes of the world, it is Tao Qian who is treacherous, and he has nothing to do with them, the Xuzhou family.
On the other hand, if they don't do this, then there is no need to worry about the reputation of treachery, but in order to meet the needs of the Qingzhou Army, each of them needs to pay a price, a considerable wealth.
Although the wealth of any family is an astronomical amount for those ordinary people, it does not mean that these families are very generous, on the contrary, these families are not only not generous, sometimes even stingy.
For the officials of the family in Xuzhou, the departure of the Qingzhou Army is a thing worth celebrating. Because it means that they don't have to pay and they don't have to face the difficult Qingzhou army.
Is there anything better in this world than this? Especially after the departure of the Qingzhou Army was confirmed, these people who broke their promises celebrated.
In the governor's mansion, in front of the dancers who danced gracefully, many people raised their wine glasses in their hands and used them to hide their greedy gaze. At this moment, it seems that these short-sighted people do not see the consequences of doing so.
And for those who have a vision, it's hard to fight the crowd...
For example, Mi Zhu or Chen Deng, they know very well that doing so will lead to some unnecessary consequences, but even if they are clear, what can they do?
This decision was not made by them, but by the common opinion of the whole family in Xuzhou, and it was difficult for the two of them to disobey. And if they do this, the Mi family and the Chen family will not get some benefits from it, so they won't say anything more.
It's just that...
Although the two of them also knew very well that Yan Shao would definitely not swallow this breath so easily, and would definitely find a way to retaliate, they didn't expect Yan Shao's speed of revenge to be so fast, so fast that they couldn't react...
In the very center of the banquet, when the dancers were dancing gracefully under the hungry eyes of the men around them, a small official suddenly ran in from outside, looking very hasty, as if something big had happened.
The dancers who were still singing and dancing were all startled by this little official and stopped. As for the rest of the people in the hall, after the dancers stopped dancing, they all looked over, but their eyes were a little unkind.
Like them, there is Tao Qian, who is sitting in the first place, smiling.
However, unlike them, Tao Qian was not terminated because of the dancing girl's dancing.
The older people are, the more they will pay attention to the word rules. Tao Qian is like this, as an old man with a very small heart, Tao Qian attaches great importance to the rules, which is also one of the reasons why he has a deep affection for Liu Bei as soon as they meet.
Originally, this banquet was going well, but this little official suddenly broke in from the outside, Tao Qian was inevitably unhappy in his heart, and his eyes at the little official were also a little unkind.
However, before he could ask what was going on, the little official had already panicked. "Fujun, the big thing is not good, a few days ago, the Qingzhou army invaded Langxie County, and several cities have been captured, Jucheng is in danger, please send troops to rescue quickly!"
"What?!"

As I said before, the older people are, the more they follow the rules, and at the same time, they can't see others breaking the rules. It's not that all elders are like this, but at least most of them still prefer rules, and to be reasonable, this is indeed a very strange thing.
Originally, the banquet was just right, Tao Qian's mood was also very good, and suddenly it was destroyed, you can imagine how angry this cautious old man should be at this time, if that little official doesn't come up with a good reason, even if Tao Qian won't put him directly in prison, I'm afraid there will be countless pairs of small shoes for free in the future.
Who would have thought, just when Tao Qian was about to ask, the little official had already spoken, and he brought such amazing news...
Especially Mi Zhu and Chen Deng, who already had an ominous premonition, even took the case and exclaimed.
"What!"
This time it scared a few timid people, but the focus at the moment was not this, and the others also reacted at this time, and looked at the little official one after another.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Let's make things clear!"
"Qingzhou Army, didn't they go back to Qingzhou? Why did you suddenly attack Langxie County? β
The series of questions made the little official a little unsure of how to answer? For a moment, it was as if my head was full of paste. Originally, if he had been given some time, maybe he would have been able to sort out a more reliable idea, but these people didn't give him such time at all. What's more important is that these individuals in front of him are much higher than him in any status, and they are surrounded by so many people, it would be strange if he could still be the same as usual...
Fortunately, at this time, there was still someone in charge of the overall situation, thinking of this, the little official looked at Tao Qian's position not far away, but found that the person he was looking forward to was actually sitting there with a blank face, not knowing what he was thinking.
Noticing this scene, the little official suddenly became desperate.
As for Chen Deng and Mi Zhu, they glanced at each other, and they both had a bad premonition in their hearts.
ββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββ
Almost at the same time that Chen Deng or Tao Qian knew the news, Yan Shao was also from a distant position, observing the offensive against Jucheng.
Countless Qingzhou soldiers climbed on the ladder like dense ants, and on the walls of Win City, the soldiers in the city were also trying their best to resist.
Rolling wood, rocks, fuel, and all sorts of other things, almost everything that could be used to defend the city had already been put to good use.
"I don't want the garrison of this winning city to be stronger than expected, at least much stronger than the previous cities." Touching his chin, Guan Hai muttered.
The assault on Jucheng has been going on for a few days, but in the past few days, it has not been able to capture this city. Needless to say, the casualties during this period are naturally needless to say, but they have not been able to capture the city, which is a blow to Yan Shao and others.
"This is normal, Jucheng is also the seat of Langxi County, and the trouble point is also a matter of course..."
As the head of the four generals in Qingzhou, Tai Shici should have been sitting in Qingzhou, lest Yuan Tan on the opposite side have any misdeeds. But while he was in charge, he received an order from Yan Shao, asking him to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses south to Langxi County and launch an offensive against Langxi County.
I have to say that when he first received this order, Tai Shici was almost taken aback, after all, the Qingzhou Army and the Xuzhou soldiers and horses in this period were allies. At this time, leading the troops south to attack Langxi County, wouldn't it be equivalent to turning against Tao Qian?
But after he read the contents of the letter and understood the cause and effect, he suddenly understood Yan Shao's measures.
Yes, Yan Shao and Tao Qian are indeed allies, but they were tricked by Tao Qian like this, if Yan Shao didn't even have the slightest reaction, how could he gain a foothold in this troubled world?
Revenge is inevitable...
It's just that...
"Lord, I don't know if I'm going to attack Langxie County this time, will I plunder, or?" Hesitantly, looking at Yan Shao, Tai Shici asked.
If it was just a plunder, then they and Tao Qian might not tear their faces, after all, this time the matter was wrong in Xuzhou, and it was natural for Yan Shao to react.
But...
If you just swallow Taishan County like this, then it will be difficult to keep things back...
In any case, Langxie County is a county town belonging to Xuzhou, and it was swallowed up by Yan Shao like this, how could Tao Qian, as the pastor of Xuzhou, swallow his anger.
"Naturally, it's swallowed in one bite." Just when Tai Shici thought that Yan Shao would be more cautious, at least hesitating, he heard Yan Shao answer with something almost natural. "Tao Qian owes us hundreds of thousands of grains, which is not a small amount, since he is unwilling to bear this debt, then we have to go to their homes to get it ourselves..."
It is only natural to repay debts, and the same is true now.
Although the value of a Langxi County may be a little higher than hundreds of thousands of grains, so what? There is no absolute fairness in this world, if it weren't for Tao Qian's debt, how could Yan Shao launch an offensive against Langxie County?
And...
The current Qingzhou was originally lost to the plains, which made the six counties of Qingzhou become five, which made Yan Shao depressed for a long time. Although it is not obsessive-compulsive, but it can't completely bring all the six counties under his command, it still makes Yan Shao feel that his Qingzhou pastor is a little unjustifiable.
At present, if he can capture Lang Evil, I dare not say that he can replace the role of the plain, at least it can also enhance Yan Shao's strength.
As for Tao Qian's side?
At the moment of his perfidy, his opinion was no longer strictly considered...
"But then again, there are really no talents in this Xuzhou, I have been waiting for this Lang evil for a long time, and no one has stood up to stop it..."
Originally, Gan Ning was still a little dissatisfied with Yan Shao's retreat from Xuzhou like this. As a former Yangtze River water thief, Gan Ning advocates the kind of days when you come and go. It may be a bit gentle to say this, but it can also be understood that if you give me a knife, I will give you an axe.
Now that Tao Qian has bullied the door, it is time to retaliate, Yan Shao just admitted it, which made Gan Ning unhappy for a long time, until now, after he understood Yan Shao's intentions, this unpleasant mood disappeared.
"Tao Qian's old man, jealous and jealous, pro-villain and far away gentleman, so how can anyone in Xuzhou be willing to be used by him?" Yan Shao also sneered.
At least in his memory, there are few talents available in Xuzhou, and there is only one Chen Deng and one Mi Zhu in the sky, and it can also be seen from here how incompetent Tao Qian is.
To be reasonable, among the states and counties at that time, I dare not say anything else, at least most of the states and counties have their own talents. For example, the group of tigers and wolves in Xiliang, not counting Dong Zhuo's group, just one Ma Teng, one Han Sui, and Ma Chao and others are already brave and abnormal, not to mention that there is also a Jia Xu in Xiliang.
Such a poisoner is definitely comparable to thousands of troops.
As for the Yizhou below, there are also strategists or famous generals such as Fa Zheng, Zhang Ren, and Yan Yan in history, not to mention the group below them, even Gan Ning himself is also from Yizhou, but later he couldn't stand the atmosphere of Yizhou and wanted to come out and break through.
Jingzhou has Pang Tong, Kuai brothers, as well as Wenpin, etc., even Cai Mao is definitely not comparable to ordinary people, of course, such a villain's reputation in history is not very good.
In addition, there are Lu Bu, Gao Shun, etc., and Jizhou has a series of fierce generals such as Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Judge, Zhang He, and even Yan Liang and Wen Chou, not to mention the famous Zhao Zilong. Gongsun Zhan, the representative of Youzhou, naturally can't help but mention it, even Zhang Fei and Liu Bei are also from Youzhou.
Not to mention Yuzhou, many people know how many talents there are in Yuzhou, Xun Yu, Xun Yu and even Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, etc., can almost be regarded as Yuzhou acquaintances, that is, Yingchuan people.
As for Yanzhou? Just by looking at the large number of votes under Cao Cao's account, you can see the number of talents in Yanzhou.
Although Qingzhou is relatively poor, there are also Tai Shici in terms of famous generals, and as for Wenchen, Guo Yuan, Sun Qian, Wang Xiu, etc.
Only in Xuzhou, in the early days, there was only one Chen Gong and Mi Zhu. It's not that there are really no talents in Xuzhou, this is impossible, at least Xu Sheng and others are generals from Xuzhou, the only reason is that Tao Qian does not know people, even if there are talents under his command, he can't see it, or he doesn't want to see it at all...
For such an opponent, what does Yan Shao have to worry about?
It's just that...
Many times, such a thing as a slap in the face is very fast, just when Yan Shao felt that there was no one in this huge Xuzhou who could be an opponent, the slap in the face came...
"Report!" I saw a young general galloping from a distance and came to Yan Shao to report. "The baggage of the rear wing of our army was attacked, and more than 100 vehicles were burned..."
"Oh?" There are more than 100 cars, this is not a small number, Yan Shao suddenly frowned. "Do you know who did it?"
"Taishan, Zang Ba!"
