Tao Ying may have guessed that the pottery merchant must have ordered Lu Bu Xiaopei to be stripped of his official position. That's why Lu Bu used his own food and money to expand his army, he helped himself fight Cao Cao, and by the way, he strengthened his own power, and he made a lot of money!

So when Cao Cao's envoy came to Taoling Town, this time Tao Ying still received Xi Zhicai in the living room. The jewelry, gold and silver brought by Xi Zhicai were not as much as half of Yuan Shao's, because he was also poor at this time.

This time, in addition to Sun Gan, who accompanied Xi Zhicai from Donghai County, another person came. This person is Liu Bei, who has always had a holiday with Tao Ying, but has always had a strange relationship.

I don't know what Liu Bei's idea is this time.

At the banquet, these people are still the same. Tao Ying suddenly found that he didn't know how much money he had spent on hospitality in the past half a year, and he was a loser! But it seems that none of this can be helped.

It was already completely dark, the hall was full of candles, and it was late autumn and the weather was unusually cool. Tao Ying had already changed into a somewhat thick robe, closed the doors and windows, and there were patches of crickets all around.

Xi Zhicai sat next to Sun Qian, Liu Bei got up to talk to Tao Ying, and Cao Chun stood behind Tao Ying with a knife without looking at him. Sun Shao was also accompanied by him, and also listened to Liu Bei's words.

"Second son, I said goodbye last time, and it's been nearly a year in the blink of an eye, how is the second son doing recently?"

Tao Ying also got up and replied: "General Xie Liu cares, everything is fine here, but the general is in my Xuzhou, it is really condescending!" ”

The two of them chatted for a while, and there were a lot of insects at the end of autumn, so Tao Ying also wanted to end it quickly. So Tao Ying got up and said, "Mr. Xi came this time, why did he come here?" ”

Xi Zhicai hurriedly replied: "For the war in Yanzhou, last time the second prince wanted to take the country of Lu, and my lord has already agreed after he went back." Now that the cold winter is coming, the people of Xuzhou and Yanzhou have been fighting and poisoning for a long time, and I hope that the son will stop his army! ”

After Xi Zhicai finished speaking, Sun Qian also reconsidered: "Second son, Lord Zhou Mu has revoked Lu Bu's official position. And from now on, Lu Bu will be driven out of Xuzhou, and Lu Bu will not be allowed to touch Xuzhou for half a step. ”

Tao Ying looked at Sun Qian, and said, "Lord Zhou Mu drove Lu Bu out of Xuzhou, where did Lu Bu go?" ”

Speaking of where Lu Bu went, Sun Qian said again: "At that time, if he wants to go, he will go there!" Such a treacherous person, take him in, sooner or later he will be victimized, the second son should listen to the advice of the state pastor, otherwise he will regret it too late! ”

Tao Ying looked at Liu Bei again, Liu Bei didn't know what to say, so he could only say: "Second son, the intention of Lord Zhou Mu is also good." ”

Tao Ying shook his head a little disappointed, turned his head and looked at Cao Chun beside him, he always had his own views on military affairs.

"Zihe, what do you think?"

Cao Chun hurriedly turned around from behind him and said, "The last general doesn't dare to speak!" ”

There are big people here, and he really doesn't fit to speak here. But Tao Ying shook his head and said, "It's okay, tell me your point of view." ”

Cao Chun said at this time: "I thought that it would be unwise to expel Lu Bu from Xuzhou at this time. ”

Cao Chun's words, Liu Bei's eyes lit up. He also seems to have found a soulmate, and he had persuaded the potter to him, but the potter listened to the others.

"What's wrong with that?"

Sun Qian raised his head and looked at Cao Chun, Cao Chun bowed at Sun Gan again, and he behaved like a Confucian general everywhere. Cao Chun's cultivation is also very good, and it seems that the people gathered around Tao Ying are some people with particularly good cultivation.

"Lu Bu is brave and good at fighting, and yesterday he heard the lord's public words that he recruited nearly forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses in Yanzhou. With so many soldiers and horses, coupled with the prestige of Wen Hou, it is no longer as weak as when he first came. He has so many soldiers and horses, if the lord expels him from Xuzhou, if he doesn't leave, he will definitely fight with the lord! ”

Cao Chun said, Tao Ying nodded, Tao Ying motioned for him to continue, Cao Chun then let go of his voice and said: "Moreover, even if he doesn't fight with the main bus to seize Shanyang County, as far as the soldiers and horses in his hands are concerned, if he takes refuge in Huainan Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu will already be eyeing Xuzhou, and he will definitely let Lu Bu lead his troops to attack Xuzhou."

Lu Bu's fierceness, coupled with the power of the Yuan family, this is beyond Xuzhou can resist, so if Lu Bu is expelled, not only will Xuzhou not be peaceful, but will cause trouble. ”

After Cao Chun finished speaking, Tao Ying nodded. Even Liu Bei nodded. In fact, Tao Ying knew in his heart that he must have Cao Chun also indirectly thinking about Cao Cao. If Lü Bu is expelled from Xuzhou, then Lü Bu at this time will either go south to join Yuan Shu, and then he will lead his troops to attack Cao Cao, who is showing weakness.

Moreover, at this time, if Lu Bu does not go to Yuan Shu, he will occupy Shanyang County, and with his troops, he will always threaten and plague Yanzhou and Xuzhou.

After Cao Chun finished speaking, Sun Qian retorted again: "It's a disaster not to take in Lu Bu, but what about taking in Lu Bu? Lu Bu's wolf ambition, there are Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo's views before, if he stays, Xuzhou will change hands sooner or later! ”

Xi Zhicai also saw it clearly, his intention was to stop fighting, by the way to provoke discord between the north and south of Xuzhou, and then let Lu Bu stir into the mud of Xuzhou.

Sun Qian pressed forward step by step, Cao Chun didn't dare to say more, but Tao Ying couldn't help but sneer: "Keep him, Xuzhou will change hands sooner or later, if you don't keep him, Xuzhou will change hands soon!" Sun Beijia, can you lead the army to defeat the 50,000 army that Lu Bu can fight well? ”

The two sides quarreled again, but Xi Zhicai watched the excitement unhurriedly. Sun Shao next to him saw that the situation was wrong, so he hurriedly reminded in a whisper: "Lord, the snipe and the clam are competing for the profits of the fishermen, please think twice!" ”

After Sun Shao reminded him, Tao Ying looked back at Xi Zhicai, and he was fooled by him unconsciously! Tao Ying regretted it repeatedly, fortunately Sun Shao reminded him early, otherwise he would have made a big mistake again.

From the moment Lu Bu came to Taoling Town, Tao Ying made a wrong choice. He originally wanted to have a good relationship with Cao Cao, and then develop with peace of mind, but everything made Lu Bu mess up. Moreover, Lu Bu strengthened himself with the help of his own grain and strength, and now he can't control him anymore.

After reacting, Tao Ying suddenly interrupted Sun Gan's speech. Sun Qian looked at Tao Ying differently, Tao Ying just said coldly: "The matter of Xuzhou is the matter of my two brothers, and when my filial piety period expires, I will definitely go to my brother to explain it clearly." Today, Sun Beijia came to Yanzhou as a lobbyist, you don't know, you have already won Cao Cao's plan! ”

Sun Qian still wanted to say, but it seemed that Liu Bei was not far away from Cao Cao at this time, and he didn't know if he was scared by Cao Cao, or if Cao Cao promised Tan County any benefits, and at this time Liu Bei also began to come over to mediate.
