The weather outside became more and more gloomy, and the wind roared, banging on the windows wantonly, making bursts of noise, and also brought a touch of gloomy atmosphere to everyone in the room. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Yan Shao asked, a gust of wind blew, and the two doors that were originally open suddenly slammed on the door frame, making a huge crashing sound. The lower door, who was already cowering in the corner because of the atmosphere in the room, suddenly let out a burst of exclamations, especially the maid who was in charge of feeding Tao Qian the medicinal soup, and even shook her hand and spilled the medicinal soup in the bowl, making the white and tender little hands red and swollen.

If it weren't for the atmosphere of the occasion, I'm afraid the maid would have called out, but at this time, she could only hold back tears and let her eyes turn red.

"This..."Hearing Yan Shao's words, Chen Deng, Mi Zhu and the others were taken aback, and even Tao Qian's pupils, who were sluggish, dilated a lot in an instant, and he seemed to be very surprised.

Correspondingly, Yan Shao and the others looked at them with a sneer, as if they wanted to see what reason they wanted to use to prevaricate.

The matter of giving Liu Bei food is a secret in Xuzhou, so it is not a particularly confidential matter. After all, Xuzhou provided Liu Bei with a lot of food this time, and there were a lot of people who handled it alone. But there are not many people who really know, and the vast majority of people just deliver the food to the place where it should be delivered, and are not responsible for other things, let alone deliberately inquire about who the food is given to.

And the other officials in charge of this matter are also very strict, for fear of revealing a little information. After all, if the matter spreads, it will be difficult for them to explain to Qingzhou. Of course, considering Xuzhou's current predicament, the amount of food provided to Liu Bei by Xuzhou is actually not very much, only 50,000 Hu, which is not a small amount, but it is somewhat insufficient for an army of thousands of people. Fortunately, Tao Qian or Chen Deng didn't really plan to use these tens of thousands of grains to send Liu Bei, which was only used in the early days after Liu Bei arrived in Xiaopei, so that Liu Bei could gain a firm foothold in Xiaopei.

As for the follow-up...

Then it will depend on Liu Bei's own efforts, and Mi Zhu and others may give some support during the period, but it is unlikely to count on the support of Xuzhou officials. After all, Tao Qian placed Liu Bei in Xiaopei in order to make him a barrier in Xuzhou, which required Liu Bei to have a certain strength. But this strength also needs to have a certain limit, if you raise a tiger for trouble, it won't be fun...

Although Xuzhou has a good impression of Liu Bei, two of the three major families are also friends, and in the eyes of many people, Liu Bei has become the most suitable heir to Tao Qian, but...

People are selfish, Tao Qian has two sons, it's true that he is not too competitive, but who doesn't want to be a father who doesn't want to hand over the inheritance he created to his son?

Originally, Tao Qian felt that he would die soon, and coupled with the crisis at that time, Xuzhou really needed someone who could preside over the overall situation to stand up, so he planned to give up his position to Liu Bei. Since Cao Cao has withdrawn from the army, he naturally does not need to do this, but has to be more vigilant. Now Tao Qian is looking forward to living for a few more years, until his two sons become climate-changing.

Pity...

Most of the time this wish will not come true...

However, at the moment, the most important thing for Xuzhou officials and even Tao Qian is not this, but the question of Qingzhou.

As soon as it was said that there was no food here, it was revealed that tens of thousands of grains were sent to other people, which is extremely embarrassing from any point of view.

Facing the questioning gaze of Yan Shao and others, whether it was Chen Deng, Mi Zhu and others, they were a little evasive. In this era, what is emphasized is a letter word, and the so-called people cannot stand without faith, especially for celebrities like Chen Deng or Mi Zhu, faith is even more important.

Govern the country with righteousness and use soldiers with odds. Soldiers are established by deception, and the country is preserved by trust.

In the pipe, it is written that non-sincere Jia is not allowed to eat in Jia, non-sincere workers are not allowed to eat in work, non-sincere farmers are not allowed to eat in agriculture, and non-believers are not allowed to stand in the court.

In the past, the two of them also regarded themselves as faithful, but now...

"This..."Mi Zhu squeaked for a long time, facing the gaze of Yan Shao and the others, he couldn't raise his head a little, but it was impossible to really admit this matter, so he could only say. Envoy, maybe you heard it wrong, I really haven't done this kind of thing..."This matter was handled by Mi Zhu, of course he knew the truth of this matter, but it was impossible for him to admit Yan Shao's accusation on this occasion.

"Yes, there is really no such thing, so I'm afraid that you heard about it somewhere..." But this kind of thing can never be admitted, and everyone can only deny it.

But while saying this, the expressions of these people are also a little embarrassed.

Yan Shao and Li Ru are both human spirits, and Zhao Yun and Gan Ning are also extremely smart, how can they not see that the other party is weak-hearted? I suddenly understood in my heart that what Guan Hai said was not a lie, and I was even more annoyed when I thought of this, even Zhao Yun...

Originally, he was still admonishing Yan Shao, for fear that Guan Hai had been deceived, but now it seems that they were the ones who were deceived.

Thinking of the countless sacrifices made by the Qingzhou Army in this battle, it was Liu Bei and the people in front of him who finally got the benefits, but the Qingzhou Army, which had paid huge sacrifices, did not get any benefits at all, and was used, thinking of the compatriots who died on the battlefield these days, even with Zhao Yun's mind, he couldn't help but be covered with a layer of anger on his face.

It's not easy to make Zhao Yun angry, at least the number of times he has been angry since he defected to Yan Shao is only a handful, and almost one slap can be counted, not to mention Yan Shao and others, Chen Deng or Mi Zhu and others felt a chill, which made them feel a little chilly...

Needless to say, those who felt a little dull looked left and right one by one, as if they were wondering where the windows were not closed tightly, which made the atmosphere in the room unusually cold, and they didn't think that it was purely because of the anger of someone on the other side.

"Don't you think I'm a bully in the Qingzhou Army? How dare you deceive us with such a lie! It was Gan Ning who spoke this time, only to see Gan Ning questioning with anger on his face, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't have any blades on his body, I'm afraid he would have picked up his blades and pointed at these people on the opposite side.

If Zhao Yun is just a sword that has just been unsheathed, which can make people feel a chill, then Gan Ning is a sharp blade that has already pointed at the other party, giving people a sense of suffocation that they will be killed in the next moment. If Mi Zhu or Chen Deng and others were fine, some ordinary officials seemed to be targeted by some fierce beast, and they couldn't help but take a few steps back when they were frightened.

The movement in the room was so loud that it had already alarmed the guards waiting outside, and Gan Ning was so terrifying, and it didn't take long for more than a dozen guards to rush in from outside. However, considering the identities of Yan Shao and the others, they just stood there and did not act rashly. He just pulled out the blade in his hand and pointed it at Yan Shao and the others.

"What's the matter, Tao Fujun is planning to use up even the Hongmen Banquet for the hundreds of thousands of grains..."Glancing at the guards who broke in from outside, Yan Shao said with some disdain.

Although they were besieged by more than a dozen guards, whether it was Gan Ning, Yan Shao, Zhao Yun and others, they all looked like they were not afraid. On the contrary, the guards on the opposite side and even the officials who were protected by the guards were all frightened, and they had no confidence in the guards in front of them.

After all, they all know very well how brave these generals who follow Yan Shao are, especially Na Gan Ning, don't look at the previous defeat to Dian Wei. But before Dian Wei came out, he was an undefeated general in the true sense. No matter which military general came out of Cao's camp, he was not his opponent.

What's more, in addition to him, Yan Shao also has Zhao Yun by his side...

If Gan Ning only took the opportunity to make some fame in the Battle of Xuzhou, then Zhao Yun is already famous, especially the record of joining forces with Tai Shici to draw with Lu Bu before the Tiger Prison Pass, which is even more talked-about.

Such an opponent, it would be fine if the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang were still there, but now the three brothers have all gone to Xiaopei, and now there is only one Cao Bao who is still here. Counting on Cao Bao to deal with such a fierce general? Not to mention them, I'm afraid that even Cao Bao himself doesn't have such confidence, so it's no wonder that after these guards broke in from the outside, they didn't have the slightest hint of action.

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

"Yan Envoy, if you have something to discuss, you have something to discuss!" Seeing that the atmosphere was deadlocked, Chen Deng hurriedly stood up and played a round, for fear that the two sides would clash.

If that's the case, although Chen Deng is confident that he also has a certain level of swordsmanship, he doesn't even have the slightest confidence that he can get out alive from here. Moreover, the Qingzhou army clashed with Xuzhou, and in the end, only Cao Cao would be happy, which was also what they did not want to see.

Glancing at Chen Deng, he still had to give some face, not to mention that Yan Shao didn't really plan to turn his face with Tao Qian, so he called lightly. "Xingba..."

To say that Gan Ning is unruly, but he really respects Yan Shao. In addition, Yan Shao treated him with the courtesy of a national soldier, of course, he would not be able not to give Yan Shao face, and he would stop when he heard the words.

As soon as the terrifying momentum disappeared, everyone in the room couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but the eyes that looked at Gan Ning were full of jealousy.

As for Yan Shao himself, he just looked at Chen Deng and asked softly. "Yuanlong, I only ask you, what to do with those hundreds of thousands of grains..."

"This..."Even if Chen Deng is extremely intelligent, he can't help but feel worried at this time. If Liu Bei's matter hadn't been lifted, things would have been relatively easy to handle, at least he could have dealt with the past first. But now that the matter has been lifted, it is difficult to hide it.

Of course, Chen Deng can continue to deny it, but it's good that this kind of thing is not exposed, if it is really known, as long as he investigates a little, he will inevitably find out some clues, and at that time, I am afraid that he will lose face more.

Thinking of this, Chen Deng could only say helplessly. "Why should you be so earnest, we don't want to pay the bill, but we need some more time..."

As long as you delay a little longer, you can always come up with a solution. The most important thing is that Yan Shao can't stay in Xuzhou all his life, and there will always be a day when he returns to Qingzhou, so it's easier to deal with. With such a threat as Yuan Shao, neither Chen Deng nor Mi Zhu believed that Yan Shao would really be an opponent in Xuzhou.

Although this is done, both Chen Deng and Mi Zhu feel a little sorry for Yan Shao, but this matter is decided by Tao Qian and even most of the families in Xuzhou, even they themselves, so...

can only sacrifice Yan Shao's interests...

Who wanted Yan Shao but was not deceived by him, and did not fall for his delay, but asked with a sneer. "I wonder how long it will take for Yuanlong? One month? Two months? Or a year! ”

Yan Shao pressed so step by step, which made Chen Deng a little embarrassed, and glanced back at Tao Qian and the others, but he didn't get any hints, Chen Deng could only answer. "This, as Zizhong said before, Xuzhou is in a difficult situation now, and there is not a lot of surplus grain in our hands, but as long as the situation is alleviated, we will empty the last grain of rice in the granary, and we will definitely fulfill our promise..."

Speaking of this, it is already Chen Deng's limit.

It's a pity that Yan Shao didn't eat him this time, everything that happened in Xuzhou has made him extremely disappointed in these people in front of him, especially Tao Qian...

It was only now that Yan Shao understood why Tao Qian, as the state pastor of Xuzhou, had no less than 100,000 people with armor under his command, but he was never Cao Cao's opponent. It seems that such untrustworthy and unrighteous people, even if there are more soldiers and horses under their command, what is the use?

"Hehe..."

Ignoring the promise given by Chen Deng, he just left two words of unknown meaning, and Yan Shao turned around and left here.

Yan Shao left, and of course the rest of the people would not continue to stay here, one by one they just sneered and glanced at these people in Xuzhou, and then turned around and left. However, in the blink of an eye, the room that originally seemed a little crowded became empty, leaving only Tao Qian or Chen Deng and others there with big eyes and small eyes, and they didn't understand how Yan Shao walked so neatly...

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

"Lord, we're leaving?" Accompanied by Yan Shao's side, Guan Hai asked in disbelief.

He thought that even if he didn't fight with Tao Qian, he would have to question it, but he didn't expect Yan Shao to leave like this.

Yan Shao listened to Guan Hai's words, but he kept sneering. "Why waste time with such untrustworthy people, how good it would be for me to return to Qingzhou, not to mention..." Who said, just forget it? ”

Almost when Yan Shao was talking to Guan Hai and the others, looking at Yan Shao and his party who had left, Cao Bao said in disbelief. "And they just left?"

Yes, they just left?

You must know that Cao Bao is ready to be blamed, and even ready to do it for a while. Who would have thought that Yan Shao just said this, and left directly, which caught Cao Bao off guard.

In fact, not only Cao Bao, but also many other people, who seem to be a little at a loss.

Only Chen Deng and Mi Zhu had an ominous premonition in their hearts.

During this period of time, the two of them have had a lot of interactions with Yan Shao in Xuzhou, and they know that Yan Shao is not the kind of person who will admit it if he suffers a loss, and they originally planned to give some compensation for benefits this time, even if this part of the benefits cannot be compared with the hundreds of thousands of grains promised, at least they can get by on face.

Who would have thought that Yan Shao didn't give them a chance to bring it up at all, but chose to leave here straightforwardly...

"This..."

"I'll be ready..."Chen Deng sighed, knowing that there was really no way to be good about this matter...

At this moment, I saw a little official suddenly stand up and ask Tao Qian. "Envoy, why didn't you leave that Yan Shao just now, this person is Qingzhou Mu, this time he suffered such a big loss, he will definitely try to retaliate, if he is let go, I am afraid of endless disasters in the future..."

But he didn't understand why Tao Qian and the others just let Yan Shao leave.

Whoever wanted to hear him, instead of agreeing with him, looked at him with a kind of retarded gaze, as if they had heard some strange thing.

Including, if they could, of course they also wanted to keep Yan Shao, lest Yan Shao really choose to retaliate against them in the future. But not to mention the stains that may be left on your reputation, you don't quietly Yan Shao is surrounded by some people.

Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Guan Hai, these are all first-class fierce generals, as well as those armor soldiers who have already arrived outside the courtyard. When they were on the city wall before, they had seen those armorers who looked like monsters, even Chen Deng, they couldn't understand where Yan Shao found so many armorers, almost everyone had the same martial arts as Xuzhou generals, coupled with excellent blades and armor, as well as strict training, although there were only fifty people, they could exert a combat effectiveness that was not inferior to five hundred people, even if more than a thousand soldiers and horses were probably unable to stop in front of them.

If you really make a move, I'm afraid that it will not be Yan Shao who will be solved in the end, but they will be right, especially the first ones in the house...

As long as they thought of this, even when Chen Deng and the others looked at this person, they used a gaze similar to looking at the mentally retarded.

It probably didn't take long before I heard someone running in from outside to report that Yan Shao had left with the Qingzhou soldiers and horses in Xiapi, and that he had left with almost nothing except the necessary grain and grass.

At the same time, standing on the city wall, looking at the soldiers and horses in the distance, Mi Zhen didn't know why she felt a little lost.

"Will you ever come back?"

As if sensing something, Yan Shao on horseback glanced back, but unfortunately he vaguely saw a figure standing on the city wall looking at him, and he couldn't see his face clearly at all...

As if to imprint that figure in his heart, Yan Shao turned around and raised his horsewhip.

"Drive!"
