Chapter 4: The Pit Daddy in Progress (1)
Tao Qian is worthy of being an old fritter mixed in the officialdom, if it weren't for the chaos in the world, it would be impossible for our Lord Tao Qian to come out and pay homage to the prime minister, even though Liu Bei's face over there had changed, but Tao Qian still laughed and used other topics to divert Liu Bei's attention.

However, in this way, the matter of borrowing troops that Liu Bei said could only come to an end.
At the end of the evening banquet, everyone was smiling, as if the guests were at home.
Tao Qian was old and frail, and he couldn't accompany Liu Bei and the others for a long time, so he had to hand over this task to the Mizhu brothers over there.
In addition to military power, other food and grass supplies and places to stay, wine and food, Tao Qian is obtained according to the highest standards.
Those soldiers and horses brought by Liu Bei were also rare to eat meat,
Tao Qian originally wanted to let his son stay and have a good discussion, but when Tao Qian came back to his senses, there was no trace of the pottery merchant over there.
"Where's the eldest prince?" Tao Qian asked the housekeeper on the side.
"Master, the eldest prince will go back directly after the banquet!" The butler lowered his eyebrows and said pleasantly.
"Going back?" Tao Qian's brows furrowed. He still wants to talk to his eldest son? Who doesn't love his son, he Tao Qian has changed from a small official to a prince who is now shepherding one side, what is all this for? Isn't it just for their Tao family? After he Tao Qian returned for a hundred years, this foundation was also to be left to the pottery merchants.
In the past, Tao Qian was very disappointed in his son, a tiger father and a dog, but now it seems that the pottery merchant has changed! Tao Qian has too many doubts? Could it be that his son has become late?
"Master, do you want me to send someone to find the eldest prince?" The butler asked suspiciously.
"No need!" Tao Qian shook his head, since he went back, let's go back, the pottery merchant's mansion is in the east of the city, and there is a big distance from the Thorn Mansion.
This is the potter's order to avoid being ordered by his father every day.
If you call it now, you can't help but aim too big.
……
Tao Qian has such doubts, and our Liu Bei Liu Huang Uncle children's shoes also have great doubts.
"Second brother, has the third brother eaten and drunk enough at night?" Liu Bei asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with a smile.
"This Tao envoy has never treated us badly!" Guan Yu nodded and said.
"That Tao family has an appetite for me, all of them are good wine, I like it!" Zhang Fei also laughed, Zhang Fei was a good wine, and what Tao Qian took out was all aged wine, so he was naturally happy.
"Second brother, third brother, we have eaten and drunk enough, and those soldiers have never rested! As a general, as a soldier, as a brother, I wanted to go to the barracks in person, but I drank too much at the banquet this night, and my head was dizzy, so I had to invite the two brothers to go to the barracks! Liu Bei said with a smile at his Guan Yu Zhang Fei.
"Big brother is very polite, this march and war is my duty, big brother can rest for the time being, I can go later!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei clasped their fists and said, and strode away.
Over there, Zhao Yun also saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei leaving, and stepped forward to inquire, knowing that the two of them were going to the barracks, and he didn't want to be a maverick as a transferred general, so he went to the camp with the two.
sent his second brother, third brother and Zhao Yun away, and Liu Bei put away his smile.
turned to look at the Mizhu brothers over there, "Lord Mizhu, this eldest son of the Tao family is not the person in the words of the adult!" ”
When Mi Zhu heard Liu Bei's title, he felt a little bitter in his heart, you must know that his Mi family had already voted for Liu Bei, and his younger brother was fooled by Liu Bei's words, and in a moment of excitement, he left a letter to Liu Bei, and the letter was naked and all the dissatisfaction with Tao Qian, and there was also Liu Bei who wanted Liu Bei to enter Xuzhou and seize Tao Qian's foundation. If such letters get out, their Mi family will be finished.
can be regarded as joining Liu Bei's army, on weekdays, Liu Bei always calls Mi Zhu a son of Brother Zhong, but now he has become Mi Zhu, this kind of unfamiliar title must be Liu Bei's anger.
"Back to Xuande Gong, Zhu doesn't know!" Mi Zhu shook his head, he hugged his fist at Liu Bei, and he was also puzzled in his own heart, the two sons of the Tao family, one is a fool and one is a loser.
The eldest son is a potter, and it can be said that he is a stinking gentleman.
This time, Cao Cao's army sent to Xuzhou, because his father hung in Xuzhou, and the person who killed him was Zhang Lu, Mi Zhu knew that this Zhang Lu was once so good as our potter's son that he wore a pair of pants, and he was our potter's son's dog's leg.
So who killed Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, is naturally clear at a glance.
Such a cheating thing, to tell the truth, is really not in Mi Zhu's eyes, Mi Zhu joined Liu Beijun, in addition to his younger brother being fooled and leaving such a vote, there is also the Tao family's two sons rubbing one by one.
The eldest son Tao Shang is also a little bit of IQ, the second son Tao Ying, hehe, that is a second fool, belongs to the kind of mentally underdeveloped second stunned, he was not less used as a gun by his eldest brother, and ran to the Qinglou at the age of eight to ask for milk.
It is such a cheating daddy thing, a second fool, that makes Mi Zhu completely desperate.
"Xuande Gong, maybe that eldest prince really wants to give this Xuzhou to Xuande Gong!" Mi Zhu's unintentional guess was the closest to the result.
"Really give it to me?" Liu Bei frowned.
"Yes, Xuande Gong, didn't you see that on the wall of Pengcheng, our eldest prince was scared by the fighting scene below, maybe he was really afraid of that Cao Cao, rather than being killed by Cao Cao, it is better to give this Xuzhou to Xuande Gong, it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree!" Mi Zhu said.
Liu Bei thought for a while, and seemed to have a little feeling, because at the beginning, the potter's eldest son was in front of his saddle and behind the horse, and his mouth was sweet, which made Liu Bei's impression of him very good. If it weren't for the aftermath, Liu Bei would really be able to remember the good of our Tao Dagongzi.
"But!" Mi Zhu opened his mouth again and said another guess, "This may be what Lord Thorn Shi meant!" It's Lord Assassin Shi, who made this eldest prince speak like this! "It's not that Mi Zhu looks down on the potter, just the potter's thing, he Mi Zhu has already seen through it, just an embroidered pillow, and his stomach is full of big wolf grass.
"Tao Envoy Jun!" Liu Bei groaned and thought for a long time before shaking his head, "This must not have been prepared by Tao Envoy Jun in advance!" Liu Bei still has the ability to see people, although Tao Qian hid it well, but when his precious eldest son Tao Shang stood up and said those words, the anger on Tao Qian's face would not be fake.
"But that loser!!" Mi Zhu eagerly said the nickname of our potter's son.
"Anyway, we're going to have to be careful!" Liu Bei said, "Let go of Xuzhou!" Will I really be able to get Xuzhou! The greedy look in Liu Bei's eyes, thinking that he Liu Bei had been rolling in this troubled world for so long, born and dying, so tired that he Liu Bei did it, but in the end, there was not even a piece of land, not a place to stay.
To tell the truth, when the pottery merchant over there said that he would give up Xuzhou, he Liu Bei was really moved and almost agreed.
If he had agreed at that time, he Liu Bei would really be finished, and a wolf's ambition would not be able to escape.
"Fortunately, I have no intention of annexing Xuzhou!" Liu Bei said indifferently, he just wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob him, Xuzhou? He wants to, but he is also self-aware, and now he doesn't have such a big appetite.
"Duke Xuande, now the soldiers and horses under his command have not yet taken shape, and the Lord Thorn Shi has not sent the troops here! Are we really going to fight to the death with that Cao Cao in two days! Mi Zhu asked worriedly.
What Liu Bei originally wanted was to blackmail Tao Qian first, ask for some soldiers, horses, grain and grass, and then go out, and in the end, whether he won or lost, he Liu Bei did not lose, and even earned.
But now it doesn't work, as soon as the two fathers and sons of the potters over there are squeezed, Liu Bei will not be able to mention the matter of military power again.
Cao Jun just repelled today, but it was only a retreat, and the Cao army will inevitably make a comeback in two days, it will be a big battle, and the loss will be not small.
"Hehe, send troops? Why am I sending troops? The soldiers and horses in his hands are those old, weak, sick and disabled, is he willing to let me send troops! Liu Bei smiled, he Liu Bei is here to make a lot of money, not to make a loss-making business.
Since you Tao Qian don't give me soldiers and horses, then I won't go out, I am not your Tao Qian's subordinates, help your affection, don't help you is your duty, waiting for you Tao Qian to beg me, the military power will be gone.
"Okay, Zizhong, you should go back and rest early! It's getting late! Liu Bei said with a smile at Mi Zhu over there.
Listening to Liu Bei's change back to his own name, Mi Zhu should have felt cordial, but he didn't know why there was a chill in his heart.
……
On the second day, Tao Qian was in the meeting hall of the Assassin's Mansion, his eyes widened and he stared at each other angrily.
"What! What did you say! Tao Qian asked the little school below.
"Return, go back to Lord Shi, the eldest son, the eldest son, he went to the music hall! Didn't return overnight! The lieutenant stammered.
Our potter Tao Dagongzi, at this juncture of life and death when Xuzhou was besieged by Cao Jun's army, ran to Qinglou!
