In the Lower Picheng Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, Tao Qian was anxious. The 80,000 army led by Ji Ling broke through several counties one after another, and even Cao Bao was defeated.

In the face of the military might of Yuan Shu's army, Xuzhou was lifeless. If it weren't for Tao Qian's high prestige in Xuzhou, I am afraid that someone would have defected to the enemy at this moment.

"Princess, Ji Ling's army is coming soon, what is the best plan?" Tao Qian on the main seat asked with difficulty in his trembling voice.

If it was an outsider, he would definitely think that Tao Qian was timid, but it was not. Tao Qian, who was already sick, was holding on to his body at the moment, and he couldn't let go of the people of Xuzhou in his heart.

"My lord, a lot of letters asking for help have been sent, and Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others have all promised to send troops, but now they can't come because of the shortage of granaries." Chen Deng immediately stepped forward to report.

"Alas! How good is that! How good is that! After a long sigh, Tao Qian said anxiously.

"Does the hussar general have a reply?" Suddenly, Tao Qian's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered Huo Yu.

Without waiting for his subordinates to answer, Tao Qian was depressed again, Youzhou was far away, even if he sent troops from Jizhou, he couldn't come on time.

"My lord, why don't you send Zang Ba, the commander of the cavalry, to come down to defend against the enemy!" Chen Deng once again exported the suggestion to.

"The lord can't, Zang Ba has ill intentions, and he must not be transferred to Xiapi!" Of course, Cao Bao is the one who is strongly opposed.

Zang Ba's ability, of course Cao Bao knows that if Zang Ba takes this opportunity to make meritorious contributions, then his Cao family will be the first to suffer.

"Humph! If it weren't for your incompetence, how could you lose seven counties in a row and let the elite of Xuzhou lose everything! Cough cough cough..."Hearing Cao Bao's words, Tao Qian suddenly became angry and coughed sharply.

"My lord... The last general..."In the face of Tao Qian's questioning, Cao Bao was indeed speechless, and he was originally happy to go to meet the enemy, but the whole army was wiped out, and Tao Qian was not to blame for being angry.

"Yuanlong, let Zang Ba lead the troops to garrison Xiapi! Contact Mi Zhu immediately, hope that he will remember the old feelings, and implore the hussar general to send troops! cough, cough, cough...."After a violent cough, Tao Qian spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted

"Father... Father..."The potter and Tao Ying on the side immediately cried.

Tao Qian is quite talented, but his two sons are completely waste, except for eating, drinking and having fun all day long, there is no other hobby, as for reading sage books, he has also read them for a few years, but compared with Tao Qian, there is a difference of 108,000 miles.

In Donghai County, more than 10,000 men and horses led by Gan Ning began to take over the county towns under the control of the Mi family according to the original plan, and the whole operation was very smooth.

The mission of the Youzhou Navy this time is to protect the county controlled by the Mi family from the flames of war, as for the rest of Huo Yu, he only said "act when the opportunity arises"!

Although Huo Yu didn't say it explicitly, Gan Ning knew Huo Yu's character, and if he didn't take advantage of it, he would be a fool! The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is in the back road, and he knows it best.

"Report, General Gan, the lord's secret letter!" Just as Gan Ning was about to rest, a personal guard reported with a secret letter that had just been delivered by sea and land.

After receiving the letter, Gan Ning skillfully cut through the fire paint, and then read it carefully. It turned out that not long after Gan Ning led the army to set off, Huo Yu ordered Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiuqin to lead 5,000 cavalry from sea and land under the bitter pleading of the two brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang.

Its purpose is self-evident, it is natural to go down, as for whether Tao Qian and others can be rescued, it is up to fate.

Regarding the actions of his eldest brother and second uncle, although Huo Yu was unhappy, he was not angry. After all, the Mi family can develop in Xuzhou without Tao Qian's support. A good thing, Mi Zhen was not involved in this matter at all, which made Huo Yu feel a lot more at ease, and it was Huo Yu's taboo to interfere in politics in the harem.

In fact, Mi Zhen is also too busy to take care of herself, and she has no extra energy to participate at all, because she has just given birth to a daughter for Huo Yu. In the past few years, except for Cai Yan who gave birth to a son, only Mi Zhen was pregnant with Huo Yu's flesh and blood. As for Zhang Ning and Liu Ying, there has not been the slightest movement.

There are two flowers, one on each branch. While marching, Lu Bu's army plundered military rations everywhere, making Yuan Shao and Cao Cao miserable.

On this day, Lu Bu had just returned from his patrol, and he was notified by his subordinates, and Yuan Shu's envoy asked to see him.

"Emissary?" Lu Bu's brows furrowed at the moment.

"Wen Hou, since you are a messenger, why don't you see each other!" Zhang Liao on the side reminded.

In fact, as early as when Yuan Shu learned that Lu Bu had sent troops, he had a plan. Lu Bu, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao have been fighting for so many years, and everyone in the world knows it. Therefore, to break this road, the coalition only needs to sow discord.

Yuan Shu, who was in Shouchun, learned from nowhere that Lu Bu had a daughter, and she had grown up, and she was born as beautiful as a fairy, so he immediately decided to send an envoy to meet Lu Bu secretly, intending to take Lu Bu's daughter as a concubine.

Yuan Shu thinks that he is the emperor and Na Lu Bu's daughter is a concubine, so Lu Bu will be the ruler of the country, and his status is rising, and he is expected to not refuse with Lu Bu's character. If this is the city, Lu Bu will be used by him.

Yuan Shu, who came up with this plan, was secretly proud, and hurriedly sent a secret envoy without discussing it with Yang Hong and the others at all. In cooperation with the edict stamped with the jade seal of the country, I am afraid that those princes who are greedy for false fame will quit the army and accept their canonization.

It's a pity, the princes of the world are not fools, and in the current situation of uncertainty, they definitely don't want to have anything to do with Yuan Shu.

Of course, this condition is a little tempting for Lu Bu. Indeed, as Yuan Shu thought, after meeting the envoy in person, Lu Bu hesitated.

"If you promise Yuan Shu, your daughter may also become the queen, and you can also rely on your father and daughter, plus your own martial arts, Yuan Shu promised to worship the general, well, it's a little interesting." Lu Bu, who was deep in thought, thought so.

"Wait until you have the power of the army, lead the army to fight in all directions, and then abolish the emperor Yuan Shu..."

"Wen Hou, Yuan Shu will definitely not be the emperor for long, and the hussar general has not yet moved his troops and horses..."Zhang Liao on the side found that Lu Bu was careful and reminded again.

"Huo Yu? Hiss! Hearing Zhang Liao's reminder, Lu Bu suddenly gasped.

Over the years, he has been able to have a little place to settle down, all because Huo Yu does not care about his past suspicions. Youzhou soldiers are strong and strong, Lu Bu asked himself, Huo Yu is invincible, so his little caution was thrown out of the clouds in an instant.

"Thanks to Wenyuan's reminder! Huo Yu, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu don't have a good thing! Lu Bu scolded.

"However, the general can use this to ask for grain and grass, and if our army marches like this, it will definitely not reach Shouchun. It's better to calculate it! After listening to Zhang Liao, Lu Bu showed a smug smile on his face.

A day later, Yuan Shu's envoy excitedly carried Lu Bu's letter to Shouchun. As everyone knows, Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao, who were looking at him from different directions, all showed a strange smile.
