After three rounds of drinking, Tian Kai, who was dressed in military uniform, raised his glass and said: "General Tao, since Cao Cao has returned to Yanzhou, it is inconvenient for me to stay longer, Yuan Shaohu serves Qingzhou, if he leaves for a long time, I am afraid that he will go on a business trip." ”

Tao Qian didn't seem surprised by this, and sighed: "What Tian Thorn Shi said is extremely true, but although Cao Cao was defeated this time, he will inevitably send troops to attack ...... again."

"This ......" Tian Kai was embarrassed: "It is really inconvenient for us to stay in Xuzhou for a long time, once Qingzhou changes, it will be difficult to explain to Ji Hou." ”

Tao Qian already had a plan in his heart, and muttered: "I also know the difficulty of Tian Thorn History, so ...... If Tian Thorn Shi and return to Qingzhou first, how about staying in Xuande to help the old man? ”

When Tian Kai heard this, his eyes flickered, he glanced at Liu Bei, who was stunned, and laughed and admitted: "This is very good, so according to General Tao's words, stay here to help Xuande." ”

He turned his head to look at Liu Bei, who looked stunned, and said: "Xuande, the matter of Qingzhou, there is a certain one, General Tao and Ji Hou are both prosperous, but Xuzhou is not out of the pool, you will stay here to help General Tao, and a certain will report to Ji Hou." ”

Tian Kai had already noticed that Liu Bei was not an ordinary person, and he was worried that he would take the lead after he sat down, especially after Zhang Liao entered Qingzhou, Liu Bei and Zhang Liao had a good relationship, which made Tian Kai even more worried about Liu Bei, so as soon as Tao Qian spoke, he just pushed the boat down the river and took the opportunity to leave Liu Bei in Xuzhou.

Tao Qian saw that Tian Kai agreed, his face was happy, and he smiled: "In this way, there will be Lao Xuande." ”

"This ......" Liu Bei showed a deep face, glanced at Tian Kai, and understood the fear in this person's heart, since he was angry, it was inconvenient to stay in Qingzhou, especially if he was sandwiched between Zhang Liao and Tian Kai, it was even more embarrassing, but he was a little reluctant to let him abandon the family business of Pingyuan Country.

Tao Qian looked at Liu Bei and groaned, and hurriedly asked, "Does Xuande have doubts?" ”

Liu Bei hugged his fists and said: "It is an honor to be able to help you, but I am afraid it will be useless." ”

He came from the plains country this time, he only brought less than 3,000 people, plus some miscellaneous soldiers, the combat effectiveness is not strong, compared with Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops at every turn, it is really not worth mentioning, he has been around for more than ten years on this little belongings, but he doesn't want to lose all of them here.

"Don't worry!" Tao Qian laughed and said, "How about I send you four thousand Danyang elite soldiers?" ”

Four thousand Danyang elite soldiers? Liu Bei was happy in his heart, he had recruited troops with Qiu Yi, and knew the elite of the Danyang soldiers, and now Tao Qian gave him four thousand at once, and he had worked hard for more than ten years, but although he liked it in his heart, he still got up and hugged his fists with a calm expression on his face: "If you have to make Jun Jingbing help, why not be afraid of Cao thief." ”

Immediately Tian Kai said goodbye, the banquet was over, Kong Rong was drunk, Tao Qian immediately arranged for Liu Bei to give 4,000 Danyang soldiers, Liu Bei returned to the military camp outside the city, and informed Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong and Tian Yu of the reason.

Zhang Fei couldn't help but ask on the spot: "Big brother, let's leave Qingzhou, what should Wenyuan do?" He was alone in Qingzhou. ”

Guan Yu also looked at Liu Bei, although he didn't speak, he also had the intention of asking.

Liu Bei glanced at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, shook his head and sighed: "I will leave Qingzhou, Yu Wenyuan is beneficial and harmless, Wenyuan is now the pastor of Qingzhou, and should be in charge of Qingzhou, but the three of my brothers are in Qingzhou, but they are under the command of Gongsun Bogui, if he and Tian Kai have a gap, whether it is the three of us or Wenyuan, they are all in a dilemma, and now I wait for Xuzhou, it is just right." ”

Jian Yong nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't say more, only Tian Yu's eyes flashed with hesitation.

……

In the state pastor's mansion, Tao Qian looked at Cao Hong in Zhizhong with a calm face: "Zhang Wenyuan really wants to move Sun Ce's family to Qingzhou?" ”

Cao Hong hurriedly said: "Exactly, they have already set off from Jiangdu, and now it is time to go to Donghai County." ”

"Humph!" Tao Qian said: "Where is Sun Ce? Have you ever followed Zhang Wenyuan? ”

Cao Hong said: "Sun Ce is said to have gone down to Jiangdong and never followed Zhang Liao, but they must have an extraordinary relationship, then Sun Ce is the son of Sun Jian, most of them colluded with Yuan Highway, and his subordinates thought that Zhang Wenyuan colluded with Sun Ce, and he would secretly communicate with Yuan Shu, and he wanted to try my Xuzhou." ”

Tao Qian waved his hand: "Yuan Highway and Zhang Wenyuan have a vendetta, and the two of them are not in collusion, but this Sun Ce cannot be underestimated, and Zhang Wenyuan's plans are very big...... Apart from Sun Ce, who else did he find? ”

Cao Hong pointed his fingers and said: "Zhang Liao went to Danyang to pick up the former Huiji Taishou Tang Mao's family, and when he arrived in Xuzhou, there was Huaiyin Bu...... Buqi, Guangling Weijing, county official Lu ...... Dai, as well as Lu Su in Dongcheng County, except for Lu Dai, the rest are less than thirty, but there are many people accompanying them, and they all have to follow Zhang Liao to Qingzhou. ”

"Hmph, these ordinary people, I don't know what to say." Tao Qian's face was a little unsightly, but there was no way, when Cao Cao slaughtered the city, he didn't dare to go out of the city, and stood by and watched, which had made the people of Xuzhou complain, if they were stopped again, they would not only offend Zhang Liao, but also be prone to chaos.

Thinking of this, Tao Qian was a little anxious, wandered for two steps, put aside the matter, and asked, "Did Zhang Zigang ever follow Zhang Liao?" ”

Cao Hong shook his head: "It is said that Zhang Hong went to Jiangdong with Sun Ce. ”

Tao Qian breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head disapprehantly: "This Zhang Wenyuan has the name of loving talents, but there is no one who is accepted, all of them are nameless, so young, what can he do, it is not enough." ”

Cao Hong said again: "Then let Zhang Wenyuan bring Sun Ce's family to Qingzhou?" If Zhang Wenyuan colludes with Sun Ce in the future, attacks Xuzhou, and a catastrophe is coming, can he intercept them? Zhang Wenyuan lost Sun Ce's family, and the two will inevitably have a bad relationship......"

Tao Qian wandered for two steps, shook his head and said: "Let him go, as long as Sun Ce is not in Xuzhou, everything is safe, Zhang Wenyuan will return to his Qingzhou, I have already warned Tian Kai, let him be careful of Zhang Wenyuan, Qingzhou is different, Zhang Wenyuan is powerless to go south." ”

Cao Hong's eyes rolled, and he said: "Then Zang Ba and Zhang Liao seem to be in collusion, and Langya is at the junction with Donglai, but do you want to transfer Zang Ba away from Langya?" ”

Tao Qian glanced at him and snorted: "Zang Ba colluded with Sun Guan, Chang Xuan, Yin Li, and Wu Dun thieves, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were in Langya, how could they move lightly. ”

Cao Hong sighed for a long time: "Is it difficult to let Zang Ba sit big?" After all, Langya is still the Langya of Xuzhou. ”

Tao Qian narrowed his eyes: "After defeating Cao Cao, I will think about Langya again, now that the enemy is outside, there is no way to make any mistakes." ”

"That's all there is to it." Cao Hong sighed.

At this moment, someone came to report: "General Zhengdong and Qingzhou Mu Zhang Wenyuan came to the outside of the city to ask for a meeting." ”

"He's back?" Tao Qian stroked his gray beard and groaned for a moment, and ordered: "Just say that I am sick and not suitable for guests." ”

"Don't see Zhang Liao?" Cao Hong was a little surprised.

Tao Qian said: "Zhang Wenyuan is an elusive person, I don't know what Zhang Liao is trying to do, so I don't want to see him for the time being, so as not to be underestimated by him." ”

Cao Hong immediately understood that Tao Qian was General Anton and Xuzhou Mu, while Zhang Liao was General Zhengdong and Qingzhou Mu, the two were figures of the same level and could not meet each other easily, and Tao Qian obviously had a grudge against Zhang Liao for being on par with him at such a young age.

He immediately said: "I'll send someone to send Zhang Liao back to Qingzhou." ”

"Wait." Tao Qian stopped him, wandered two steps, and said: "You will set up a banquet for Zhang Wenyuan, and then give him 100,000 stones of grain and grass to thank him for his assistance to Xuzhou and reward his army." ”

Cao Hong didn't expect Tao Qian to give this order, and hurriedly said: "100,000 stones of grain and grass, will there be more?" ”

"Humph!" Tao Qian glanced at him unhappily: "How can I lack these grains and grass in Xuzhou, if Zhang Wenyuan is allowed to return empty-handed, it will only make the world laugh at me, and I will do it quickly." ”

"Whoa." Cao Hong could only respond, went out of the state pastoral mansion, and ordered one person: "Quickly go to find Mi Zizhong to receive Zhang Liao, and then allocate Zhang Liao's 100,000 stone grain and grass." ”

He didn't want to see Zhang Liao, so he only asked Mi Zhu to arrange everything.
