The east gate of Tancheng was wide open, welcoming tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Xun Gang into the city; Not long after, I saw a broken old man, with an embarrassed face and a white beard stained with dust, and saluted in front of the door: "Xuzhou Mu Tao humbly greeted Xun Fangbo, Fang Boguo is a benevolent person, and he came thousands of miles to save me Xuzhou!" ”

Xun Gang dismounted and saluted Tao Qian, but Zhang Fei, a reckless man, came out and shouted again: "Angry with me!" My eldest brother borrowed troops from Youzhou in the plains, and ran all the way from Beiping to Xuzhou, but I didn't see you thank you, and I didn't even give my eldest brother a face! ”

"Presumptuous! This is the pastor of Xuzhou, in fact, you can offend a reckless man? Cao Bao, who was standing next to Xun Gang, immediately drank violently, and seemed to be very angry at Zhang Fei's reckless remarks. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"What did you say!"

Zhang Fei wanted to go up and kill Cao Bao, but he didn't think about it, but was stopped by Dian Wei; Dian Wei's face was full of black lines, and he was very angry in his heart: "You man, you have no rudeness from beginning to end!" My lord should be the pastor of Yuzhou, and he has not yet spoken, so how can you speak here? ”

Zhang Fei looked this person up and down and saw that he was powerful, but he was afraid that his force was no different from Lu Bu; And this person had a good fight with his second brother before, and he didn't enjoy it at all, so he immediately drank: "If you are not convinced, just try it with me!" ”

"Why don't you dare?"

Dian Wei welcomed Zhang Fei away, and it was instantly cleaner; Xun Gang exhaled lightly, if Zhang Fei was allowed to do anything wrong here, it would not be good: "Tao Envoy Jun, I don't know if you can see Liu Bei's reinforcements?" ”

Tao Qian arched his hand and said with a smile: "Liu Bei, I asked my subordinates to go to greet him, and he has already entered the Tancheng Mansion." ”

Xun Gang glanced at Tao Qian, but he didn't expect this guy to value identity and strength so much. You must know that Liu Bei came to the rescue thousands of miles away, he didn't even look at it, he brought troops to help, and he almost offered himself as his own father.

In the end, he is just a layman.

Zhang Fei was summoned away, and Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were left behind; Guan Yu Xungang didn't plan to think about it, but he planned to envelop Zhao Yun's heart a little, so he smiled and said: "Tao Envoy, Liu Xuande came from thousands of miles to help, Your Excellency is so sloppy, I'm afraid that there will be a faux pas." ”

Tao Qian was ashamed, but he was also weak, so he could only say: "Uncle Xun Fang, please hurry up, you and I will talk when we get to Tancheng Mansion!" ”

Liu Bei had been waiting in Tancheng Mansion for a long time, and when he saw Tao Qian leading a child in, he hurriedly got up: "Liu Bei, the plain minister, has seen Tao Envoy Jun. ”

Tao Qian didn't want to return the salute, but because of the etiquette, he still bowed respectfully: "General Liu came from thousands of miles to help, Tao Qian is grateful, please sit down quickly!" After that, he didn't even look back, and hurried to meet Xun Gang on the side.

This guy ...... It's really a mother with milk! Liu Bei was extremely angry, he thought that he could get the courtesy he deserved, but he would have thought that Tao Qian would quickly hook up when he saw a more powerful army! He looked at Guan Yu, who was still angry, and Zhao Yun, who was expressionless, and wondered, "Where is the third brother?" ”

"The general under Xun Gang ...... It seems that Dian Wei came and called away, wanting to compete with the third brother. When Guan Yu said this, he didn't seem to have much expectation for Zhang Fei to win, after all, that person was also tied with himself.

Liu Bei was silent, if Zhang Fei was here, at least he could vent his anger for him, but now it's okay, he can only hold back his anger.

Xun Gang glanced at Liu Bei and saw that he was the same as usual, still with his hands hanging down his knees, his face was powdered, and his ears could hang down his shoulders; It's just that a few years of conquest have made him look a lot older.

After the two guests finished sitting, Tao Qian smiled and said: "If it weren't for Xun Fangbo's help, I'm afraid that my land in Xuzhou would be full of blood!" Tao Gongzu is here for Xuzhou Qiantou, thank Xun Fangbo for the rescue! ”

This guy ...... Completely forgot about Liu Bei? Compared with Liu Bei's hypocrisy, Xun Gang hated Tao Qian, a person who has milk and is a mother, and immediately slapped his face and said: "It's not either!" In terms of the distance of the trip, I am afraid that I am not as good as General Liu at all! Tao Yuanjun's thanks are understood, but in the whole world, I am afraid that Liu Xuande is alone, and he is willing to come thousands of miles to save Xuzhou! ”

Tao Qian's face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly said to Liu Bei: "Xuande came to the rescue, Tao Qian is grateful, and stay in Tancheng for a few days, let Tao Qian do the friendship of the landlord!" ”

Tao Qian is also a generation of heroes, although he is now old and frail, this does not mean that he is a fool. He had already seen that Xun Gang, the little hairy boy, did not intend to accept his gratitude at all, but intended to transfer the credit to Liu Bei; In this case, in order to retain Xun Gang's reinforcements, Tao Qian had to curry favor with Liu Bei.

Liu was flattered by the sudden overture, he thought that he had broken with Xun Gang at the beginning, and Xun Gang would use this to ridicule himself, how could he have thought that it would end like this? immediately responded: "Thank you Tao for your good intentions, but Xuzhou is over, and I have to go back to the plains to deal with affairs, so I will leave!" ”

The three people here are not stupid, Tao Qian can see what Xun Gang means, Liu Bei can't see it? Although Liu Bei thanked Xun Gang on the surface, he didn't appreciate it at all, after all, he didn't want to accept the favor of a child.

Tao Qian made a mourning form: "If Xuande Gong leaves, how about Cao Cao's return?" ”

Xun Gang suddenly continued: "A certain book has been repaired, and Cao Cao will retire in a few days." ”

Xun Gang knew that there was a problem in Cao Cao's rear, and Cao Cao's grain should have been almost used; Originally, this should belong to Liu Bei's kindness, but Xun Gang wanted to bring it over, lest Da Er'er really think how powerful he was!

Before long, the soldiers came to report: "Cao Jun has retreated!" ”

Cao Cao retreated, but most of his heart was unwilling and angry. Tancheng is close at hand, how do you know that your alliance will suddenly shatter? What's more, the rebellion of Zhang Miao of Chen Palace in the rear was the most unexpected by him; Now relying on his subordinates Cheng Yu and others to guard the only remaining city, if he doesn't go back quickly, I'm afraid that all his cities will be gone!

When Tao Qian got the news, his eyes were full of gratitude, thinking that Xun Gang's might was so huge, and immediately thanked: "Uncle Xun Fang, save me Yuzhou Cangsheng!" ”

In fact, Tao Qian is just a façade, if Tancheng is broken, he plans to get back his hometown in Danyang; It's just that now that his life is saved, he naturally wants to make such a hypocritical drama. I have to say that this person's drama is more mature than Liu Beibi, so that Xun Gang is difficult to pick.

"In that case, I will lead the troops to leave......"

Xun Gang deliberately said this, wanting to see Tao Qian's reaction, and sure enough, Tao Qian was scared, and immediately said: "How about Cao Cao's return?" I hope Uncle Xun Fang can stay longer......"

"I'm a big Yuzhou, who will take care of me? Since Tao Yuanjun is a pastor in Xuzhou, he naturally has to do the responsibility that the state pastor should have! ”

"This ......"

Tao Qian didn't hear Xun Gang's voice, as if he was hesitating, he was already old, and it stands to reason that he should retire after success; This Xuzhou accident scared him a lot, and he also realized that Xuzhou was a big bun, both Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were extremely greedy, and if they stayed here, they were afraid that the evening would not be guaranteed!

Around like this, it is better to let Xuzhou out and go back to Danyang to retire!

He looked at Mi Zhu, who came with Xun Gang, and said in a low voice: "Zizhong, take my seal letter!" ”

Mi Zhu knew what he wanted to do, and secretly believed in his heart that Xun Gang was the master, and ran to bring Xuzhou Mu Dayin to him. Tao Qian took the seal and said to Xun Gang: "Tao Qian is old, this Xuzhou should also let people." Zunjia is not only Yuzhou Mu, but also the brother of the opposite sex of the current emperor, and handing over Xuzhou to you can be regarded as an explanation for me, a big man! ”

Xun Gang didn't speak, but casually glanced at Liu Bei, only to see that the latter's face turned blue, sometimes purple, and he almost tore himself to pieces. Xun Gang smiled slightly, the position of this Xuzhou Mu should have been yours, but this "accidental collision" turned out to be in my bag!

Tao Qian seemed to notice Xun Gang's eyes, and hurriedly said to Liu Bei on the side: "Xuande came from afar, if you don't give up, you can govern Xuzhou with Xun Fangbo." ”

Tao Qian really wanted to take away this hot potato, after all, Xuzhou was attacked on three sides, and the east was close to the sea, and the land of the four wars was no different from Yuzhou. He didn't want to be humble with anyone, and he didn't have the heart to calculate anyone.

Guo Jia, who was on Xun Gang's side, felt cheating, and hurriedly responded: "My lord is new, how can there be a reason to oppose the guest?" This is not a good move! ”

Maybe even Tao Qian himself didn't expect that not only his own farewell driver and his brother Mi Fang, but even Chen Qi's father and son, Cao Bao and many Xuzhou officials also planned to abandon him, and hurriedly admonished: "Xuzhou and Yuzhou are the same as each other, if Yuzhou has Xu and Yu at the same time, why worry about the world?" ”

Xun Gang didn't want to come to that set with him, if this guy really had such a thing as a knife and axe hand in ambush, Chen Dao, Wei Yan, Sun Ce and others behind him were not vegetarians, so he immediately took the seal and said with a smile: "Thanks to Tao Envoy's care, this Xuzhou seal will be accepted in the next place!" ”

Guo Jia was shocked when he saw it, it was very unruly! The ancients once said that there were three lets, and now Xun Gang won't let them go, isn't this too rude?

Liu Bei on the side also sneered, hustle and bustle, you just wait for death!

Unexpectedly, Tao Qian was ecstatic, and after handing over all the affairs of Xuzhou to Xun Gang, he ran back to his room in a hurry, packed up his things and prepared to go back to Danyang.

After Tao Qian left, the civil and military officers of Xuzhou knelt down one after another and knocked: "Welcome to the new lord of Xuzhou!" ”
