Zhao Yu listened to the meaning of Tao Qian's second half of the sentence, and wanted to find a way to resist Yuan Shu's attack, but Yuan Shu came with nearly 40,000 soldiers, and with the power of Xuzhou alone, he might not be able to repel it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But when it comes to foreign aid, the current situation in Xuzhou is more or less embarrassing, Sun Jian's father and son in Jiangdong in the south, they are the former ministers of the Yuan family, although the relationship with Tao Qian is not bad, but it is not very good, since Yuan Shu came to attack Xuzhou, he Sun Jian may not have a reason to send troops.

Yuzhou in the west, although it is also regarded as a vassal of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, but there is no strongman in it, only Liu Cousin's cronies Huang Zu guarded, if you want to ask for his assistance, you have to ask Liu Biao's consent first, but Liu Biao has lived in Jiangnan for a long time, and he doesn't ask about the affairs of the Central Plains, even Liu Xie can't please him, let alone Tao Qian.

And Zhang Miao in the southwest is the only one who has hope to help Tao Qian, this person has a docile personality, and there are some soldiers and horses in his hands, but there are no strong generals under him, because he has a good relationship with Cao Cao, and the Yuan brothers did not dare to make a mistake for a while.

However, Zhang Miao is timid by nature, and now the situation in the Central Plains is so complicated, if he wants to send troops to save people, maybe he Zhang Miao does not have the courage and determination, and besides, even if Zhang Miao sends troops to help Tao Qian, he will not necessarily repel Yuan Shu's 40,000 army.

Zhao Yu thought about all the surrounding forces that Tao Qian could invite in his mind, but he didn't think of a suitable person for help, and for a while, Zhao Yu suddenly felt that his brain power was not enough, and a headache hit him, making him feel a little headache and brain swelling.

And at this moment, a soldier outside the door came to report: "My lord, I have something important to report!" ”

Tao Qian raised his head slightly, glanced at Zhao Yu, and did not speak, but just glanced at Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu understood, so he replied: "What is there to report?" If there is no major event, unless it is a major event, you are not allowed to enter! ”

The soldier said again: "If you go back to your lordship, this matter is indeed a big deal, because there is already a war in Yanzhou, and it may have some impact on us!" ”

When Zhao Yu heard this, his heart tightened, and his eyes looked at Tao Qian with some nervousness, only to see that Tao Qian's face was a little ugly, and he only nodded lightly at the head that seemed to be very heavy.

Zhao Yu comprehended, and immediately said to the soldiers outside the door: "Okay, you come in and talk!" ”

The soldier responded, slowly walked into the house, gave a salute to Tao Qian and Zhao Yu respectively, and then said: "My lord, there is a battle report from the front, Yanzhou is full of war, it is rumored that Liu Xuande has sent Zhuge Kongming to lead the army and launch an attack on Yanzhou, its offensive is extremely fast, it only took ten days to crush Zhang Mengzhuo's living force, and now Yanzhou's defense line is almost collapsing, and Yanzhou seems to be about to fall into the hands of Liu Xuande!" ”

After listening to the soldier's report, Zhao Yu's heart was shocked and he couldn't help but say, "What? Yanzhou is about to fall? How could Liu Xuande's movements be so fast? No matter how bad Zhang Mengzhuo is, he won't be able to survive for a few days, right? ”

Looking at Zhao Yu with a surprised face, Tao Qian coughed lightly a few times and said slowly: "Hey! Yuan Da, don't you know this Uncle Liu Huang, this person is an extremely amazing character, if there is another person in this world who can take Yanzhou in less than half a month, then this person has no one else out of Liu Xuande, even Cao Mengde, who is now in full swing, does not have such a fierce posture! ”

Zhao Yu was also surprised when he heard Tao Qian's words, because of Liu Jing's name, who else would not know today? This person can't help but be famous all over the world, and his military strength is also at the top of the list among the heroes of the Han Dynasty.

But what surprised Zhao Yu was not just Liu Jing's strength, but Liu Jing's surprise attack on Zhang Miao, who had nothing to do with him, why did Liu Jing do this, why did he do this, this is a very puzzling thing, could it be that Liu Jing also has the intention of dominating the world? Is he also determined to dominate the world?

Zhao Yu's face was a little dazed, and a little gloomy, once Liu Jing's powerful force made a move, today, there are basically only two people who can compete with it, one is a strongman who dominates Sizhou and Bingzhou, and is also Liu Jing's close friend Cao Cao. And the other person is Sun Jian's father and son, who have lived in the water town south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and have been in obscurity and recuperating for a long time.

Others want to be on an equal footing with Liu Jing, it is still a little difficult, whether it is Liu Yan in Yizhou or Liu Biao in Jingxiang, they are all content with the status quo, and they are not keen on the development of military strength.

Zhao Yu looked at Tao Qian, and suddenly felt a sense of melancholy in his heart, because once Liu Jing occupied Yanzhou, then next, Yuan Shu and Xuzhou in Qingzhou will become Liu Jing's next target.

But in the face of Liu Jing, Zhao Yu's hope of victory can be regarded as directly shattered, such a potentially powerful opponent, no matter who it is, will be extremely frightened, Zhao Yu is a smart person, but also a person who understands, of course he knows the strong gap between Xuzhou and Liu Jing.

What to do? What's next? At present, Yuan Shu's offense has not been solved, and new worries are quietly coming, this time, but it really stumped Zhao Yu, for a while, Zhao Yu's thoughts became a little chaotic, and his heart seemed to crawl into countless ants in an instant, making him unable to calm down in a commotion.

Tao Qian looked at Zhao Yu's gloomy expression, he had already guessed Zhao Yu's thoughts, but Tao Qian was a scheming person after all, and his vision was also very advanced, he heard the news that Liu Jing was going to occupy Yanzhou, and his heart suddenly thought of a way to transfer Xuzhou to Liu Jing, so as to keep his children safe and his subordinates safe.

Compared with Yuan Shu, Liu Jing is far more famous than Yuan Shu in terms of reputation and ability, and besides, Yuan Shu's attack on Xuzhou this time is to avenge his eldest brother Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu's goal is to eliminate Tao Qian's camp, not simply capture Xuzhou.

If Xuzhou is safely ceded to Liu Jing, then Liu Jing will at least appease Tao Qian as he did with Gongsun Zhan is Tao Qian's old department, so the bad news of Liu Jing's rapid occupation of Yanzhou can be transformed into good news for Tao Qian at this moment.

Therefore, Tao Qian has already made a decision in his heart after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to entrust the future of Xuzhou to Liu Jing, he decided to ask Liu Jing as foreign aid, let Liu Jing deal with Yuan Shu, besides, Tao Qian believes that Liu Jing originally had a gap with the Yuan brothers, Tao Qian asked Liu Jing to deal with Yuan Shu, and it was on the condition of offering Xuzhou, Liu Jing would definitely not refuse.
