Chapter 244

Cao Song's death spread all over the world, and the impact was naturally great. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But if you want to say that the most shocked, I'm afraid it is Xuzhou.

As a pastor of Xuzhou, Tao Qian is actually not a very open-minded person, at least not as described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in later generations, he is a benevolent gentleman. Historically, Zhang Zhao was conscripted by Tao Qian during his time in Xuzhou, but was rejected by Zhang Zhao, and Tao Qian imprisoned him because he felt that Zhang Zhao despised him.

During the reign of the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" and the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", it was said that Tao Qian alienated the sages and appointed villains, "backsliding, Guangling was too guarded by Zhao Yu, Xu Fang was also a celebrity, and Cao Hong and other slanderous villains were also hidden, and he was humble and pro-free, and the criminal and political affairs were out of harmony, and the goodness was mostly harmed by them, and it was gradually chaotic."

But one thing is still certain, that is, during Tao Qian's tenure, Xuzhou has indeed made great progress. After the war in Xuzhou, "the world famine and the people were hungry", and the yellow scarves in Qingzhou and Yanzhou in the north rose and fell one after another, so Tao Qian recommended Chen Deng, a native of Pi, as the captain of the agricultural school, and implemented Tuntian in Xuzhou. With the efforts of Tao Qian and Chen Deng, Xuzhou's agricultural production has been restored and developed, and "japonica rice has been harvested". The people are rich, Gu Mitun is full of granaries, in the early days, the people of Qingzhou and Yuzhou have rushed to Xuzhou, until Yan Shao stabilized the foundation in Beihai, the people of Qingzhou changed the destination to Beihai County...

So many things can't be seen on the surface, just looking at the person, Tao Qian is definitely not a kind old man. However, during his reign, the people of Xuzhou were rich and lived and worked in peace and contentment, far better than those who were called heroes...

It's just that now, this old man also has a headache of his own...

"How should this be good, how should this be good..."Inside the courtyard, Tao Qian walked back and forth in the not very large space, muttering this sentence incessantly. The news that came not long ago made him so worried that he didn't even bother to pay attention to the scenery around him―――――― you must know that in the past, as long as the weather conditions permitted, he would walk around the yard almost every day to enjoy the scenery here.

It's no wonder that Tao Qian was so flustered, the news that came back not long ago was too shocking, he never thought that the people he sent to escort Cao Song would actually kill all the people in Cao Song's family, and then fled with Cao Song's family assets.

If you just look at it from this point, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Tao Qian. But many things are not reasonable, so Cao Cao was already eyeing Xuzhou, and now with such an excuse, how could he not send troops to attack?

Even if the other princes learned about this, I'm afraid it's hard to say anything, after all, Cao **'s own father, anger is also a matter of course, if you have to count, it can only be said that Tao Qian himself is unlucky...

"Why is the prince so worried, then Cao Cao has been plotting against Xuzhou for a long time, even if there is no such thing this time, he will still lead the troops to attack. Fujun has been in Xuzhou for a long time, the people are grateful, and there are no less than 100,000 people in Xuzhou, and the stored grain is enough to eat for three years, even if Cao Cao really leads the troops to attack, what is there to worry about? Chen Deng, who had been accompanying him all the time, saw that Tao Qian was so worried, and hurriedly persuaded beside him.

His words are not unreasonable, in recent years, the world has been in turmoil, and only a few places have not been devastated by the war, and Xuzhou is one of them. In the early days, even Qingzhou had people move to Xuzhou to live, not to mention Yanzhou and Yuzhou, which are relatively close, Xuzhou may not have any particularly outstanding heroes, but the overall strength is not bad.

really put it together, in the eyes of the young and vigorous Chen Deng, it may not be much weaker than the other party.

However, before Tao Qian could relax his mind, Cao Hong on the side couldn't help but speak. "Yuanlong's words are wrong, then Cao Cao is the hero of the world, the heroes of the world are like-minded, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it has gone through hundreds of battles, how can it be easy to deal with?"

When he said this, everyone in the courtyard was silent.

There is no way, Xuzhou may be very rich, but there is one thing that is not good, that is, the martial arts are not very strong, even if there are many soldiers and horses, it is not enough to meet a hero like Cao Cao.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the courtyard had become heavy, a scribe who had been watching from the side couldn't help but stand up and speak.

"Fujun, there is a plan, or it can solve the danger of Xuzhou..."

Tao Qian looked over, and it turned out to be his other driver engaged in Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu arched his hand and said. "A certain person is willing to go to Qingzhou in person and ask Yan Shao to send troops, as long as the Qingzhou soldiers arrive, Cao Cao will have only one way to retreat..."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Hearing Mi Zhu's words, Tao Qian couldn't help but be overjoyed. "That Yan Shao is also today's hero, if you can ask him to help, Xuzhou will have no worries..."

I have to say that Yan Shao's name can still be called loud during this period, even a few points louder than Cao Cao, which is why after the Sour Jujube Alliance, characters like Dong Zhao and Cheng Yu chose to defect to Yan Shao―――――― not because Cao Cao's ability is worse than Yan Shao's, but because of fame.

What's more, Cao Cao didn't even have a place to settle down at that time, and Yan Shao already had a Beihai County. And Yan Shao's situation at that time was very good, almost no one in Qingzhou was his opponent, and from a certain point of view, Qingzhou was already in his bag.

Such conditions are not very bad compared to Yuan Shao, so it is no wonder that there are so many heroes who come to defect.

It's just that...

There has never been a shortage of people pouring cold water on this year, and seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was hot, some people couldn't help but stand up and pour cold water. "Yan Shao is indeed powerful, but he didn't have any grudges with Cao Cao in the past, how could he take the blame for us?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the courtyard instantly cooled down.

Especially Tao Qian, when he remembered the time of the Sour Jujube Alliance, the relationship between Yan Shao and Cao Cao seemed to be very good. The personal relationship between the two is so good, it seems a bit whimsical to expect others to help him send troops? What's more, the personal relationship of the people is so good, what if the leader of the troops comes and follows Cao Cao to attack Xuzhou?

One Cao Cao is already so tricky, if there is another one, I'm afraid he will really be a little unbearable...

Who wants to listen to his words, Mi Zhu didn't say anything, and Chen Deng next to him had already said with a smile. "Don't worry about this, if you go to Qingzhou to ask for reinforcements, I expect Yan Shao to definitely send troops." Saying that, Chen Deng turned his head to look at Tao Qian next to him, and continued to speak. "Not long ago, Yuan Shao just sent troops to occupy the plain, the plain belongs to Qingzhou, seeing that Yan Shao is about to unify Qingzhou, but the plain is occupied by others, how can Yan Shao not be angry? I'm afraid that the relationship between the two has broken up, but Qingzhou has been fighting for many years, exhausted, and needs to recuperate, Yan Shaocai led the troops back, I am afraid that I hate Yuan Shao in my heart, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are allies, how can Yan Shao not be angry with Cao Cao? And I also have an alliance with Yan Shao, as long as I send someone to Qingzhou, Yan Shao will definitely send troops to help! ”

When he said this, Tao Qian and the others smiled, and Cao Hong had nothing to say when he heard it.

There's no way, this Cao Hong does have some ability, but his greatest ability lies in touting, really let him give advice to Tao Qian in terms of strategy, to be reasonable, he really doesn't have this ability.

This is also why Tao Qian is obviously closer to him, but he still has to rely on Mi Zhu and Chen Deng and others in major matters.

Now that Chen Deng has made the pros and cons clear, what can he interject? could only retreat with a gloomy face, but the jealousy in his heart towards Chen Deng and Mi Zhu was increasing day by day.

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

Anyway, now that you have a solution, what you need next is to solve this problem quickly. Seeing that Cao Cao's army was about to arrive in Xuzhou, Chen Deng did not delay time, and directly led people to Qingzhou.

As for Tao Qian, with the assistance of Mi Zhu, Cao Bao and others, he led the troops to meet the enemy...

As I said before, Xuzhou's overall strength is also quite good, but there are not enough good generals, which makes the performance in the battle formation seriously insufficient.

Especially in terms of strategists, there is only one Chen Deng in Xuzhou who can handle it, and now Chen Deng has gone to Qingzhou to ask for reinforcements, and Tao Qian has only one Mi Zhu and a Cao Bao to help, how can he be Cao Cao's opponent.

At the beginning, Cao Bao still had the courage to challenge Cao Cao's generals, but after he was almost killed by Cao Hong in the battle array, he retreated.

It didn't take long for him to retreat one after another, Cao Cao had the revenge of killing his father, and every time he broke through a city, he would slaughter the city to vent his anger, and for a while Xuzhou set off a bloody storm, and the originally peaceful atmosphere was gone. In just half a month, I don't know how many people have died, but Tao Qian, who fled back to Xiapi, is helpless about it.

In the face of such a dangerous situation, there is no plan but to cry and cry.

Even Cao Hong, who had been beside him, was pale all the time, and he was a little bold, but what could he do alone?

It was under this circumstance that Chen Deng arrived in Qingzhou...

He knew very well that the situation in Xuzhou was in crisis, and Chen Deng didn't dare to delay time at all, and he had been working fast since he left Xiapi.

It's just that maybe his whip was added a little fast, and there were a lot of accidents on the way to Qingzhou, and as a result, the road that could be completed in almost 10 days took 13 days, and it took another two days to get to Linzi.

Mmmm, I'm sorry, I'll make up for it right away!!
