"Ahem," Guo Jia coughed twice, and said with a wry smile: "Don't worry, the prime minister can't die for the time being, I haven't seen the prime minister unify the Central Plains, how can Fengxiao dare to die?" ”

The worry in Cao Cao's eyes did not diminish in the slightest, he patted the back of Guo Jia's hand, and sighed: "This time in the East, I will let Xun You be the military advisor, you have a good rest in Xuchang, don't run around, indulge yourself." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Guo Jia shook his head, rejected Cao Cao's kindness, and said: "Prime Minister, I must go to the East Expedition this time, although Xun You has great talents, in the town country, Fu Sheji, give salaries, endless grain roads, and govern the rear, I Guo Fengxiao may not be as good as him, but on the battle against the enemy, strategizing, winning a thousand miles, even a million troops, the battle will be won, the attack must be won, and my Guo Fengxiao's self-confidence will never be left behind." ”

Cao Cao knew Guo Jia's skills and loyalty, and he was worried: "But your body does not allow you to go on a crusade, and I have long advised you not to take the Danshi that you must eat at every meal, don't take it, you just don't listen, what can you do now?" ”

Guo Jia laughed, his voice was sad, he looked at Cao Cao, who was a little concerned about people, showed a warm current in his heart, took a deep breath, and said angrily: "Prime Minister, don't persuade me, the plan of the Eastern Crusade is related to the changes in the pattern of the world in the future, I can't be sloppy, I Guo Fengxiao has a cheap life, I have long been abandoned to God, what else is there to be afraid of?" ”

Cao Cao knew that persuasion could not be made, so he had to agree and appoint Guo Jia as the military advisor of the Eastern Expedition.

In 195 AD, Cao Cao personally led an army of 200,000 people, in the name of avenging his father, the east expedition to Xuzhou, the news came out that the world was shaken, and now Cao Cao just defeated Yuan Shao less than a year, he wanted to eradicate the surrounding forces, and had to make other warlords worry that they would not have such a day.

And the first to bear the brunt, the most panicked is Xuzhou's Tao Qian, since the acceptance of Liu Feng, Lu Bu and others, Xuzhou's development is also thriving, although Lu Bu and Liu Bei have a lot of wrong, but on the whole it is still very much to give him the face of the master, and there is no greater friction.

Tao Qian is very old, he knows his son Tao Shang, not the material to be a leader, even if he estimates that Xuzhou will be given to him, he will be taken away, and the ending will be even worse, so from the beginning he never thought of giving up the power of Xuzhou to his son.

Tao Qian was originally a native of Danyang County, Danyang County, full of poetry and books, was held up as filial piety, stayed in the Han Dynasty as "Lang", and then released by Lang as the county commander of Shu County, at that time it was considered a "right way" origin, he had good official luck, "four turns to the general Zhang Wen Sima", followed Zhang Wen in Liangzhou to rebel against the Bianzhang, Han Sui battle, made considerable military achievements, in the first year of Emperor Lingping's Yellow Turban Uprising, was appointed by the imperial court as the Xuzhou Thorn History.

After he arrived, he quickly defeated the Yellow Turbans and drove the Yellow Turbans out of the counties and countries under Xuzhou, making "Yan Ran in the territory", a piece of peace, and now he has been promoted to Xuzhou Mu.

Tao Qian is indeed a talented person who is both civil and military.

In his previous life, there was a legend that described him as worthless, saying that he was a cronie and a villain, alienated from well-known people, and the judiciary and administration were abandoned. The villain pointed out in the biography is only Cao Hong, and it is not explained how much "goodness" this Cao Hong has harmed.

The well-known person referred to in the biography is Zhao Yu, the "don't drive" Zhao Yu of the Xuzhou Prefecture Government. Zhao Yu was sponsored by Tao Qian and appointed as the Taishou of Guangling County. How can this be said to alienate Zhao Yu? In fact, Don't drive is just a staff member, and his status is far less than the official rank of "2,000 stones". Therefore, this is Tao Qian's reuse of Zhao Yu, not alienating Zhao Yu.

Tao Qian can be in charge of a state, vision, courage, is not bad, and even he has the faint qualification to be a hero, but he is old, he is really a little powerless, and he has to find a future successor in Xuzhou.

There are two people with the most strength and fame in Xuzhou at present, that is, Liu Bei and Lu Bu, although Lu Bu Tao Qian accepted him, he was quite unhappy in his heart, so he just gave him a place to live, and he didn't have much enthusiasm. He likes the world-famous Liu Bei very much, and faintly has the intention of giving him the position of Xuzhou.

The day before yesterday, I suddenly heard that Cao Cao personally led an army of 200,000 to attack Xuzhou, Tao Qian was shocked, he was so old, it would be good to have a place to retire, how could he still have the strength to fight with Cao Cao, not to mention Cao Cao's elite army of 200,000, which made Tao Qian, who did not have 100,000 troops, frightened him so much that he was left without a master for a while, and soon summoned his staff to discuss matters.

Tao Qian's command is also full of talents, including Zhao Yu, Chen Deng, Chen Gui, Wang Lang, Di Rong, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang and others, Wu Cao Bao, Zhang Min, Sun Guan, Yin Li, Lu Fan, etc., everyone came to the living room and couldn't help but be taken aback when they saw Tao Qian with a haggard face.

Zhao Yu took two steps forward and said worriedly: "My lord, who are you?" ”

"Alas," Tao Qian sighed heavily, and said to everyone: "Cao Cao wants to attack Xuzhou, everyone must already know about it, right?" ”

Everyone was silent, and Tao Qian didn't expect them to say anything, and said lightly: "What do you think now, but to be honest, it's time for us in Xuzhou to make some changes." ”

The two brothers Mi Fang and Mi Zhu glanced at each other, but neither of them spoke, but Zhen Rong, who is not very involved in political affairs on weekdays, rolled his eyes wildly, and seemed to have something to say.

This person is the leader of Buddhism in Xuzhou, and there are three subordinate counties in Xuzhou, but after Zhenrong got the grain and tribute items of the three counties, he did not send them to Tan County (the center of Xuzhou), but filled his own pockets for his own use. This made Tao Qian very dissatisfied with him, but he had no choice but to tolerate him again and again.

"Zhenrong, do you have anything to say?" Tao Qian looked at him calmly.

Zhen Rong laughed, and then said: "My lord, you see that Cao Cao was able to defeat Yuan Shao's army of nearly one million with only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and now he leads 200,000 troops, and I have less than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, how can this be good?" ”

"What the fuck do you mean?" Before Tao Qian could speak, Zhang Min on the side stood up, pointed at Zhen Rong's nose and scolded angrily.

"General Zhang, why is he angry, as the saying goes, those who know the times are handsome, I just tell the truth." Zhen Rong looked disdainful and didn't look at him.

"You," Zhang Min was furious in his heart, pulled out the long sword in his hand, pointed at Zhen Rong and said, "Could it be that you want to surrender?" ”

Zhen Rong was not afraid, and said calmly: "I'm just telling the truth, General Zhang can think like this if he wants to, I don't care." ”

Zhang Min's eyes were full of anger, and he was about to step forward to kill Zhen Rong, Tao Qian coughed, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Min retreats, the council hall, how can you and others mess around." (To be continued.) )
