When Ming Jian left, he still ordered Cao Cao to send someone to find Qin Qiong's whereabouts, and it was a pity to lose such a fierce general.

Seeing the retreat of the Cao army, the Xiliang army also chased after it, but the Cao army had already prepared, and after the two sides were entangled for dozens of miles, the Xiliang army still retreated.

With the protection of Cao Cao's army, the Ming Sword obviously went a lot smoother, the bandits and bandits along the way did not dare to brush the tiger's whiskers, and the officers and soldiers along the way also spontaneously greeted, the etiquette was very in place, and the grain and grass were also supplied a lot.

That night, the army arrived in Chenliu.

Chenliu is the place where the princes of the Eighteenth Road will meet, but this place is very dilapidated now, similar to a small village.

After many wars, Chen Liu's economy has been seriously damaged, and the population is very sparse, but now the princes of the Eighteenth Route still have some people to watch.

The general of the defending army is named Hashimatsu, and he is the nephew of Hashimatsu of the East Gun. Qiao Mao and Cao Cao have always had a good relationship, so when Qiao Song saw Cao Cao, he naturally lowered the city gate and welcomed Cao Cao's army into the city.

"General Qiao, the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is here, quickly kneel and bow!" After entering the city, he entered the official office of Chenliu County, and Cao Cao immediately said to Qiao Song.

Qiao Song was shocked, hurriedly knelt down, the Son of Heaven suddenly escaped from Dong Zhuo's hands, Qiao Song admired Cao Cao even more, the eighteen princes did not go to rescue the Son of Heaven in seventeen ways, but Cao Cao succeeded, after this day, Cao Cao is likely to become the second Dong Zhuo.

"The last general, Hashimatsu, meet Your Majesty!"

Ming Jian said: "No need to be polite, report the situation of Chen Liu!" ”

Qiao Song didn't dare to slack off, so he told all the situation of Chen Liu, and now Chen Liu only has a total of 3,000 soldiers and horses, 20,000 stones of grain and grass, but the population is very scarce.

Ming Jian secretly thought that this would not help, Qiao Mao's men and horses had no combat effectiveness, and it was just a small addition.

"Alright, you can go down." Ming Jian waved his hand and said.

After Qiao Song went down, he immediately sent someone to Luoyang to report to his uncle Qiao Mao, saying that tomorrow the son was in Chenliu.

Ming Jian said to Cao Cao: "Aiqing, this Chen Liu's former fiefdom has become like this, I am really heartbroken, I plan to appoint a capable general to guard Chen Liu, Aiqing is there a candidate?" ”

Cao Cao thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Cao Ren, the younger brother of the minister, has both civil and military skills, and is cautious by nature, he can stay too guarded for Chen, he is raising troops every day, and this place can be an important outpost, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks?" ”

Cao Ren's ability, Ming Jian is still recognized, although he is not a super-first-class celebrity, but the first-class is still evaluated, and he still has a certain strategy, it is a bit reluctant to be a Taishou, but now is an extraordinary period, Cao Cao has no talents, and those strategists have not yet come, so Chen Liutaishou is also Cao Ren, and there will be more candidates in the future, and then make a final conclusion.

"Then let Cao Ren stay in Chenliu, and you leave a few of his civil officials for him to take care of county affairs." Ming Jian said.

"Obey." Cao Cao happily went to inform Cao Ren.

Now that the jade seal has fallen in Luoyang, there is no way to seal this appointment document, and Ming Jian signed it, which can be regarded as officially allowing Cao Ren to take over Chen Liu's military and political affairs.

Early the next morning, Ming Jian had just gotten up and washed up, but Cao Cao said, "Your Majesty, Tao Qian has arrived, will Your Majesty summon him immediately?" ”

Cao Cao's tone was very deferential, this servant contract document was really powerful, and Cao Cao was not disloyal to Ming Jian at all.

"Coming so soon? Hussar general, then bring him to me. Ming Jian said.

Cao Cao hurriedly said: "The minister obeys the order." ”

After a while, an old man followed Cao Cao in, looking very tired. Tao Qian received the notice and rushed to come overnight, plus he was old, so it was strange that he was not tired.

"Minister Xuzhou stabbed Shi Taoqian, knock to see Your Majesty!" The old man knelt down.

Ming Jian said: "Aiqing doesn't need to be polite, get up and speak." ”

Looking at Tao Qian's data, I found that it was also good.

Name: Tao Qian

Intelligence: 86

Force: 65

Comprehensive evaluation: the able minister who governs the party.

At present, the system can't find out the other attributes of the character, but the intelligence is as high as 86, and it won't be bad. Historically, Tao Qian was able to govern Xuzhou so richly, which shows that he has good ability.

After Tao Qian got up, he said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty is trapped in the cage of Dong thieves, and the ministers waited for the eighteenth princes to rescue him, but only Meng De made a meritorious service, the ministers are really ashamed, and I ask Your Majesty to surrender." ”

Ming Jian said with a smile: "Aiqing doesn't need to blame herself, if it weren't for the rescue of the Eighteenth Route Princes, King Qin, I would not have escaped so quickly, but unfortunately, the princes and ministers and the royal concubines were kidnapped by Dong thieves, and I was a little sad." ”

Having said that, Ming Jian didn't have much sadness in his heart, they were all people who didn't fit in with himself, and their abilities were limited, so they didn't help much for their hegemony, so they threw it to Dong Zhuo, but instead got rid of the burden, and appointed them as officials in the future, and there were fewer constraints.

Tao Qian said: "Your Majesty, now that you are no longer controlled by the old thief, it is better for Your Majesty to immediately issue an edict and let the princes of the Eighteenth Route send troops to Chang'an together, so that the old thief will not be destroyed!" ”

Ming Jian said: "Aiqing, the world is in chaos now, the people are miserable, I really can't bear it, therefore, I have discussed with the hussar general, temporarily borrow you Xuzhou for a purpose, as the new capital of the Han Dynasty, and when the time is ripe and the people are stable, then send troops to fight against Dong Zhuo's old thief!" ”

Tao Qian was stunned by Ming Jian's words!

Seeing him in a daze, Cao Cao said unhappily: "Master Tao, what, you don't want to?" ”

Tao Qian woke up and said busily: "Your Majesty's arrival in Xuzhou is really a blessing for Xuzhou, and the minister's luck is also, and the minister dares to disobey?" I wonder when His Majesty will leave for Xuzhou? ”

Ming Jian said: "It's inevitable that there will be a lot of dreams at night, let's start today, Aiqing can send someone back to Xuzhou to inform you quickly, whether I can rejuvenate the Han this time, Aiqing is very important, after his success, Aiqing's family is all the humerus of the Han Dynasty!" ”

Listening to Ming Jian's words, Tao Qian was still very happy, looking at the situation in front of him, he must still be reused, Xuzhou has more of his own henchmen, and when the time comes, he will install more of his own people in the court, then, it is not impossible to rank in the position of the three princes and nine kings.

Thinking of this, Tao Qian hurriedly said: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

The army then set off, from Chen to Xuzhou, the road is not particularly far, only more than a hundred miles, but the road condition at this time is really not good, in order to avoid other princes to catch up, Ming Jian ordered to take the trail.

The road was peaceful, and at night, the army arrived at the city of Xuzhou.

Tao Qian stepped forward to open the city gate, and the army immediately entered Xuzhou City in an orderly manner.

Ming Jian immediately ordered the soldiers of the three armies to be rewarded, each of them was given one or two pieces of silver, and asked Tao Qian to take out food and wine, so that the soldiers could eat to their heart's content, and at this moment, the charm value of Ming Jian's harvest suddenly exceeded 10,000!

After drinking and eating, Ming Jian handed Cao Cao and Tao Qian to discuss the future.
