"Sharp teeth" The potter's face was full of hideousness, and he reprimanded: "Don't you think I don't know the inside story. As he spoke, he looked at Tao Qian, maintained the most basic respect, and said: "Father, this person is a stand-in for Mi Zhu and Chen Deng, in order to gain his father's trust and control Xuzhou." He glared at Mi Zhu and Chen Deng on the side, and snorted coldly: "This person is not Liu Lan, but a hunter from Langxi County. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the fake Liu Lan, stared at Tao Qian, and said with burning eyes: "His real name is Li Musen, not Liu Lan!" ”

"Rebel son, you can't tell whether Deran is true or not?"

Tao Qian was coughed by the pottery merchant, stretched out his hand to the pottery merchant, and scolded: "Rebel, get out of here, get out, the old man never wants to see you again, never see you." ”

The potter was scolded by his father in public, he was angry in his heart, you are my father, why don't you believe what I say! The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he might still be able to endure it all along, and even planned to kill his father at the beginning of pretending to be respectful on the surface, but at this time, the long-standing contradiction between father and son finally broke out, like a volcanic eruption, completely vented: "Old thing, you are really getting older and more confused, the real Liu Lan is still ...... outside the city" As soon as the words came out, he regretted it and kept silent.

"Outside the city?"

Tao Qian glanced at Liu Lan beside him, now he has long looked down on the rebellious son, let alone even do such things as killing his father, not to mention the disrespect of words, what he really cares about now is the future of Xuzhou, turned to the old housekeeper, and was about to inquire carefully, but Liu Lan on the side suddenly lost his laughter. Said: "Tao Gong didn't know that the pottery merchant had installed a fine work next to Lan early in the morning. Unfortunately, I found out about it earlier, so I made a plan based on it. I deceived the eldest prince and entered Xuzhou City, and at this time, I was stopped outside Xuzhou City by the pottery merchant, which is my real body, it is Li Musen in the mouth of the pottery merchant! ”

Rubbish. Tao Qian scolded the stupidity of the pottery merchant in his heart, and said: "Put away your little cleverness, don't be embarrassed in front of outsiders." He waved his hand lazily and said, "You stand down." ”

Mi Zhu was ecstatic in his heart, of course, he didn't dare and wouldn't show it. just looked at Chen Deng on the side, but found that he was shaking his head and smiling bitterly, but in his heart, he was secretly glad that for himself, for the family, and for Liu Lan, the peak circuit had turned, and I have to say that Liu Lan played this move too smartly.

didn't say what the two of them thought in their hearts, but said that a trace of ruthlessness flashed in the potter's eyes in an instant. looked at Liu Lan and suddenly became cold and unemotional, and said, "Liu Lan, I didn't expect you to sneak into Xuzhou City, just right!" Speaking of this, he laughed out loud: "If you stay in Xiaopei safely." I can't take you, but you came to Xuzhou alone, today I see how you can escape this catastrophe! ”

Speaking of this, he yelled. Said: "Someone." The moment the voice fell, I saw more than thirty soldiers armed with swords and axes rushing in from outside the house. One stood behind the potter, and when he gave the order, he would go forward and hack Liu Lan to death.

Tao Shangyi looked at Liu Lan commandingly. said: "Don't blame me after you die, if you want to blame, you can only blame you for what is bad, you have to fight with me for Xuzhou." ”

After speaking, he looked at Mi Zhu and Chen Deng on the other side with smugness, and said: "I'll give you two a chance, as long as you two come over, I promise that I will never blame the past." Speaking of this, his face suddenly distorted and threatened, "Otherwise, the two of you will accompany Liu Lan to die together today." ”

The two hesitated in their hearts, but they didn't dare to walk over seriously, only to hear Tao Qian, who was watching coldly, cough violently in vain, and covered his mouth for a long time, but there was still blood flowing out of his palm, and after the coughing gradually stopped, he scolded loudly and said: "Rebel son, you don't blame you for what you did for your father." Tao Qian did not wipe away the blood stains on the corners of his mouth, the blood stains on the corners of his mouth looked hideous and terrifying, he was originally rich at this time he had already become thin and skinny, and the wrinkles on his cheeks were squeezed together at some point, which made people sad to see.

Everyone clearly saw Tao Qian's face suddenly showing kindness and unbearability, looking at the pottery merchant and said unusually gently: "Your mother left early, and your father neglected to discipline you since she was a child, you did some stupid things, and your father didn't blame you, even the big rebellious things you did for your father, and your father didn't hate you, blame you." Tao Qian didn't know when he shed two lines of turbid tears, choked up, and said: "Child, stop it, it's not long to be a father, you have to take care of yourself in the future, and you have to take good care of Ying'er for your father." Tao Qian stretched out his hands with difficulty and said slowly: "My father has never hugged you since I was a child, can I let my father hug you in the end!" ”

Liu Lan's soul has never received such an impact, he doesn't know much about the relationship between father and son, although he has become a father, but he didn't get along with Yuan'er for a few days and came to Xuzhou. At this time, seeing Tao Qian's last wish was to hug his son, I don't know why this scene made him feel distressed, the seemingly simplest family happiness has become the biggest luxury in Tao Qian's eyes, what a joke.

The rabbit died and the fox was sad, Liu Lan didn't know how he would choose if he was put in Tao Qian's position, but he knew that most of the people in power like Tao Qian in history would slash their parents and sons, such a human tragedy of cannibalism between father and son just made people break out in a cold sweat when they thought about it, not to mention that he was a witness to it at this time.

It is said that the royal family has no father and son, so there will be a wish to give birth to the emperor's family, but at this time, Tao Qian is looking forward to the pottery merchant being able to throw himself into his arms, so that he can finally hug him, hugging his son who has not been held since he was a baby.

The potter stared at Tao Qian and laughed loudly: "I knew this was the case, why did you bother in the first place? ”

Closing his eyes, he didn't know whether he didn't want to look at Tao Qian anymore or didn't dare to look at it anymore, and said word by word: "It's late, it's late." Suddenly opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth sneered: "I have even done such a big rebellious thing, how can you let me stop." ”

"I don't blame you, and I won't blame you." Tao Qian looked at him kindly and said, "How can a father in the world really blame his own children......

The potter interrupted him sharply and said, "If you knew this was the case, you shouldn't have given up the seat that belonged to me to this outsider in the first place. "There was a twinkle in his eyes. said: "It's come to this, I can't stop it!" If I do stop it. What do I do for? I felt tired, and suddenly raised my hands. Staring at the hands that could be said to be stained with his father's blood, he smiled bitterly: "If I let go now, what is everything I have done?" And took your father's life? ”

He suddenly looked at Liu Lan, his voice seemed to come from the abyss of the Nine Shadows, full of hatred, and said, "It's you who killed our father and son!" ”

As if caught in a memory, the potter whispered, "My father didn't have time to spend with my brother since I was a child, but our brothers never hated him. I am proud to have such a father, because in his eyes, Xuzhou is more important than his children, the people of Xuzhou are his children, and my father just gave his love for our brothers to the people of Xuzhou. ”

The potter's eyes began to turn red, and he roared, "I must not hand over to you, an outsider, what my father values the most and the most important, absolutely not. His eyes were full of hatred, and he laughed loudly: "So I have to take care of Xuzhou for my father's good life no matter what." No matter who stands in my way, I will eradicate it, so whoever stands in my way - die! ”

Then he slowly closed his eyes and said, "Father." Let the child be willful again. With a wave of his hand, he said, "Kill them all, and leave no one behind!" ”

"Who dare!" Xu Chu appeared angrily in front of Liu Lan. Lifting a bluestone dwarf, he shouted.

There was a sudden silence in the room. The sound of the fight did not sound, and the potter slowly opened his eyes for a while. Looking at the motionless knife and axe hand on the side, he hissed and roared, "Do you want to disobey orders? ”

The knife and axe hands peeked at Tao Gui on the side, but Tao Gui shook his head slightly, stood behind the pottery merchant, and said respectfully: "Childe, the old slave has served the master for forty years, and he has watched you grow up, Childe. ”

Tao Gui didn't finish speaking, but he heard the pottery merchant shouting and said, "Tao Gui, do you want to rebel?" ”

"The old slave did not rebel, the old slave was loyal to the master of the family first, and then the young master." Tao Gui was heartbroken and said, "Son, the head of the family has given you too many opportunities, but you have been obsessed, and you have really come to such a field today!" ”

Tao Qian wiped his tears, waved his hand, and said, "Tao Gui, take him down and lock him up." ”

"No."

The accident happened too quickly, not to mention Liu Lan, and before he even had time to react, he was escorted down by the knife and axe hand behind him, and it was not until his figure disappeared in the scolding that Tao Qian completely calmed down, looked at Chen Deng and a few people beside Liu Lan, and said: "You guys also step down, I have something to say to Deran." ”

Liu Lan turned back to Xu Chu and said, "Zhongkang, you should step back first." ”

Mi Zhu, Chen Deng and Xu Chu slowly withdrew from the house, only the two of them were left in the house, and Tao Qian said with a heavy heart: "Deran, the old man only asks you for one thing, no matter what my child does in the future, the old man begs you to spare his life for the sake of my thin face!" ”

"Hey." Liu Lan sighed and said, "Don't worry, Gong Tao, in my lifetime, I will not harm the Tao family!" ”

"With Deran's words, the old man can close his eyes at this time, and he can also look at it." Tao Qian slowly closed his eyes and said, "Deran can know that there are three troubles in Xuzhou, and we have to guard against them. ”

"Please also inform Tao Gong." Liu Lan knew that he would become the rightful lord of Xuzhou.

Tao Qian sighed and said, "Since the disaster of the Yellow Turban, there has been smoke everywhere, the mercenaries are self-respecting, and the counties and counties are attacking each other, not to mention other places, just Xuzhou, if Cao Cao's military disaster is not Deran, but I don't know how many lives will be killed in Xuzhou." After taking a deep breath, he said: "And the first trouble in Xuzhou is Cao Cao, Xuzhou is the place of four wars, the west is adjacent to the sea, and there are two Yuan in the north and south, so the only way to enter the Central Plains is to protect the life, but there is Cao Cao in the west, and the pawn of Xuzhou is not his opponent, so after Deran enters Xuzhou, he must unite with Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu to attack Cao Cao in the west, so as to solve the trouble of Xuzhou." ”

This is the real situation in Xuzhou, and it is also the reason why Tao Qian chose to enter the south instead of Rubei, of course, it was a failure in terms of the final result of this strategy, but this does not deny that Tao Qian's strategic vision is wrong, if he does not go west, he can only be trapped in Xuzhou, so Tao Qian, who is sandwiched between the two strong, can only choose a soft persimmon to pinch, and this soft persimmon is actually a real nail, nodded, and said: "De Ran remember, after entering Xuzhou, he will have some considerations." Of course, Liu Lan just wanted to comfort the old man, not that Liu Lan was really stupid enough to go to the muddy waters of Yanzhou, with his current strength, once he fell into the quagmire of Cao Lu, with Xuzhou's current finances, it would only be him who would fall, even if he had Liaodong behind him.

"But De Ran must not be in a hurry, Cao Cao is good at using soldiers, remember to think twice before acting."

After Tao Qian admonished a few words, he said: "The second trouble is the most important, if you don't get rid of it, you must not fight against Cao." ”

"I don't know what this second problem is?"

"The second trouble Tao has already said, that is, Zhenrong, now Xuzhou is the only rich place in Guangling County, and Zhenrong is in Guangling to support the army and self-respect, the old man is familiar with this fellow townsman, although this person is so ambitious, but the scheming is very deep, if you want to get rid of him, you must slowly try it, you must not be blind, although this person can not be afraid, but if you are in a hurry, you are afraid of forcing its dog to jump off the wall, at that time he even Yuan Shu, once thrown under Yuan Shu, then Xuzhou is in danger! If this happens one day, De Ran must do everything possible to join Cao (or Lianlu, but Tao Qian is more optimistic about Cao Cao's victory) to deal with Yuan Shu together, otherwise De Ran will not be Yuan Shu's opponent. ”

Liu Lan's words to Tao Qian are unclear from the bottom of his heart, after all, he is a descendant, and he knows that Cao Cao is much more powerful than Yuan Shu, and from Tao Qian's tone, it is obvious that Yuan Shu is compared to a tiger, and Cao Cao is compared to a cat, which makes him naturally think that Tao Qian just wants to avenge Cao Cao's invasion of Xuzhou for him.

In fact, he didn't know that Cao Cao at this time was very different from Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, and at this time, the two giants in the Kanto region were headed by the Yuan brothers, and the rest of the counties were attached to each other, such as Cao Cao and Liu Biao were Yuan Shao's allies and were for the Northern Alliance; Gongsun Zhan and Tao Qian were allies of Yuan Shu and were for the Southern Alliance.

So no matter what aspect you think about, Tao Qian's strategic thinking of uniting Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao to deal with Cao Cao is correct, but Tao Qian knows the difficulties, but he just didn't say it, and uniting Cao Cao to deal with Yuan Shu is just a helpless move. (To be continued.) )
