Qingzhou sent troops as promised!

This news was transmitted back to Xuzhou, and Tao Qian, who had not slept well for several nights, felt relaxed. Although there is an additional requirement, Zhao Yu and his two "friends" are required to teach for one year in the Jixia School Palace, which was reopened in Qingzhou. Although I don't understand how Lu Bu could offer such strange conditions, it is still cost-effective for Tao Qian.

Although Zhao Yu is a famous man in Xuzhou, his name is limited to Xuzhou, and his family and mother are all in Guangling, and Zhao Yu is a well-known filial son, Tao Qian is not worried that Zhao Yu will turn to Lu Bu. As for Zhao Yu's friends mentioned by the person who came back, Tao Qian didn't have to think about it to know that it was Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, who had always been good friends with Zhao Yu. These two people are really chicken ribs for Tao Qian, although they are famous, but they are always not called, Zhang Zhao was quite contemptuous of himself in his words before, if it were not for Zhao Yu's hard persuasion, Tao Qian would have planned to go to prison for questioning. If you go to Qingzhou this time, go to Qingzhou, out of sight and out of mind! In Tao Qian's opinion, with Zhang Zhao's temper, when he meets Lu Bu's surname, there is really no possible surname. It's only been a year, and this time the actions of these two people can be regarded as a great help to themselves, and Tao Qian will no longer care about "generosity"!

In fact, for Lu Bu, Tao Qian did not have the same bad feelings as his power, strictly speaking, there was no intersection between the two, let alone hatred. Even if there was some discord with Qingzhou before, it was also before Lu Bu entered Qingzhou, since Gongsun retreated, Yuan Shao was soft, Cao ** sued for peace, Tao Qian was very self-aware and did not plan to continue to provoke Lu Bu, even if Mi Zhu was suspected of fornicating with Qingzhou under his own family, his brother Mi Fang served in Qingzhou, Tao Qian pretended not to know and did not ask much, and chose to turn a blind eye.

No mixing! Don't be offended!

This is Tao Qian's philosophy of doing things.

Tao Qian is a person who understands, and the older he gets, the more he understands the current form. Since the Yellow Turban Incident, the Han Dynasty and the eight states have been thieves, and the world has been shaken, although it has been quickly exterminated, it is still in chaos; This was followed by the eunuch change, and even the powerful generals could not guarantee their own safety, and were killed by a group of eunuchs; After that, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing to coerce hundreds of officials, changed the Son of Heaven, and moved the capital to Chang'an, until now Chang'an is occupied by the two thieves of Li Dao and Guo Yan, the Son of Heaven is covered with dust, and the government decree is not out of Weiyang, and each state and county has its own government! The trend of chaos in the world has been born, and it is by no means possible for manpower to reverse, and it is better to accumulate strength and protect yourself than to talk about turning the tide with one hand.

Therefore, since he was promoted to Xuzhou pastor, Tao Qian has made a calculation to keep Xuzhou and pass on this one-third of an acre of land to his children and grandchildren. On the one hand, vigorously rectify the people's livelihood and promote Tuntian, in addition to the chaos in the state, generally do not use the sword lightly, in a few years, Xuzhou has been built quite rich, although there are also yellow turban activities in the territory, but they are all small fights, do not hurt the vitality; On the one hand, with the idea that no one can be offended, even the Kwantung Princes' Alliance, which had made a lot of noise before, crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and even Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha thousands of miles away, rushed to Xuzhou, Xuzhou was so close, Tao Qian didn't go to join in the fun. It wasn't until he saw the end of this alliance that the princes of the Eighteenth Route fell apart and killed each other, and Tao Qian strengthened his previous idea of not mixing with each other.

What Tao Qian has always avoided is to get into trouble, and Lu Bu is a big trouble. has a bad reputation and enemies on all sides, although the combat power is strong, but which one of Yuan Shao, Cao **, and Gongsun Zhan on the edge of Qingzhou is easy to mess with?

Even this Kan Xuan uprising, if it weren't for the elbow and armpit, the chaos rose from the Xuzhou Governance Office, and there were tens of thousands of Xuzhou Yellow Turbans for assistance, only a few days, except for Xiapi City, Pengcheng and Xiaopei were all attacked; There is only one lonely city left, although the city is strong, it is located in the plain and there is no danger to defend, and the 20,000 Danyang soldiers who are shrinking step by step can only wait for foreign aid to come to help. The situation is urgent, if it weren't for this, Tao Qian would definitely not gamble to Lu Bu, who was closest to Xuzhou, and the yellow scarf didn't dare to block his way, to ask for help, the reason why he promised 100,000 stone grain as soon as he opened his mouth was also to clear up the relationship, but fortunately, Lu Bu agreed happily.

"My lord! The eldest prince asks to see! Just as Tao Qian was relieved because of the news of Lu Bu's dispatch of troops, he heard that the Fuzhong family would report from the future.

"This son of a son is now in chaos in Xiapi City, but he has not seen his figure for a whole time, what kind of system is it!" When Tao Qian heard that it was his eldest son Tao Shang asking to see him, a trace of anger suddenly flashed on his face. Tao Qian is old and has children, and he only has such two sons in his forties, so it is inevitable that he will be a little arrogant to these two brothers. The second Tao should be quite competitive, although he looks a little feminine in the ordinary world, but he is always in Xuzhou. But this potter, except for messing with the yellow scarf general Zhang Min every day, doesn't do anything serious. In the past, I always kept reporting how many yellow turbans were exterminated here today, and how many yellow turbans were expelled tomorrow, but now? Outside Xiapi City, there are grain reserves in Pengcheng, Donghai, Xiaopei and other places, and the morale of the Yellow Turban thief Kou Shao is also seventy or eighty thousand! Could it be that this Xuzhou has also become a den of thieves like that Qingzhou? There are so many yellow turbans at every turn? What about the crooks?

"Daddy! Why did you suddenly order that the children's sergeants should not be given the full amount of rations? Without waiting for Tao Qian's instructions, the potter rushed in, ignoring the general's presence, and opened the male duck's voice with a big grin, shouting to Tao Qian: "My brothers are all hungry!" ”

"Adequate rations?" Tao Qian looked at his eldest son, who had high hopes for him with his previous false exploits in exterminating the Yellow Turban, and sneered: "You son of a scumbag will make up for the vacancy under your command first, and then it's not too late!" ”

"Dad, who did you listen to? Isn't that a trap for me? When Tao Qian heard Tao Qian suddenly say this, Tao Shang's face suddenly changed, and the panic in his eyes flashed, but seeing Tao Qian's evidence in hand, he didn't know how much Tao Qian knew about himself, so he argued to himself: "Dad, can't you even trust your own son?" Dad, tell me who is orchestrating me, I'll go to him for a theory! ”

"Son! You're confused! Tao Qian really didn't know what to say about his eldest son. Now it's this time, seventy or eighty thousand Yellow Turban thieves who have been fed by Xuzhou military rations are besieging the city, and the pottery merchants who have been boasting about their exploits in exterminating the Yellow Turbans have turned a blind eye and only thought about eating empty quotas. Tao Qian really wanted to open Tao Shao's head to see what was growing in it. In this world, the states and counties of the world are in their own ways, there are already faint signs of the Warring States period of turmoil, although he Tao Qian is not a native of Xuzhou, but with the marriage of the Xuzhou family, he has steadily held Xuzhou Mu in the hands of the Tao family, the pottery merchant is the eldest son, and the Xuzhou foundation is not your pottery merchant? Why do you stay in Xuzhou and don't think about taking over the family business, but you always think about these crooked ways?

"Dad, I can tell you, it is because you are not enough to allocate military rations, and the brothers under your son have nothing to eat, so they have already gone out of the city to find it themselves!" The pottery merchant didn't pay attention to Tao Qian's thoughts at all, sat on top of several cases with a hanging look, and said impatiently.

"You...... Didn't you son of a, always boast about your subordinates who make the Yellow Turban tremble today? They're out of town because they don't have anything to eat, right? Now that the Yellow Turban thieves have hit the door, you just called me to show it? Tao Qian's hands were trembling when he was angry with the potter's appearance, laughed angrily, pointed to the sky outside the door and shouted: "I want to see the combat power of your potter Tao's eldest son!" Isn't it really as good as you reported? ”

"Hmph, just look! Dad, don't believe it! Besides, what the son reported before was to expel the Yellow Turbans, not to kill them, who knows where these Yellow Turban thieves came from? A few days ago, Zhang Min, a general under his command, had already killed a group of Yellow Turban thieves from Yuzhou Peiguo who wanted to borrow from my Xuzhou, and there were several truckloads of gold and silver coins seized! Originally, my son still wanted to share some filial piety to your father, but I didn't expect that my father would only trust an outsider! Tao Shang was really angry when he saw his father Tao Qian, and the extermination of the yellow scarf that was performed by Zhang Min** to Tao Qian before was not good, and he began to play a scoundrel at the moment, and Qiang Ding said.

"What? Zhang Min went out of town? How many truckloads of gold and silver coins were seized? When Tao Qian heard Tao Shang's words, he suddenly had a trace of uneasy doubts in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "Don't you deceive me, the Yellow Turban in Yuzhou is the most serious, and those Yellow Turban thieves are all poor haha, where will there be a few carts of goods and goods to borrow through Xuzhou, you tell me honestly, what is going on?" Are you waiting to kill the good and take the risk? ”

"This ......" saw that because he was happy for a while, he didn't notice that there was such a big loophole in it, and he was so suspicious of being caught by Tao Qian, and he suddenly couldn't say anything. In the end, he had no choice but to nod reluctantly with a frowning face, which was considered to agree with Tao Qian's guess.

"You...... You son of a! The eldest son of the dignified Xuzhou Mu, how can he learn from those Yellow Turban thieves? If this spreads, your father and I will all be ruined in your hands! Tao Qian thought that the Tao Chamber of Commerce would quibble a few words, even if it was to make up a few lies as before, but he didn't expect his son to be honest this time, and his heart was suddenly full of depression, and his face was gloomy for a long time, and he asked angrily: "Are you waiting for a clean job?" Are those people alive? Do you know who they are? ”

"Ha, don't worry, Daddy! That Zhang Min is an expert at doing these things, and he definitely does it cleanly! It's just that ......" Seeing that his father, who has always been a "humble gentleman" in his eyes, asked these words for the sake of fame, the pottery merchant's previously nervous look suddenly disappeared, and he almost patted ** to Tao Qian's assurance, how many years, and finally have a common language with his father. But as soon as the words came out, the pottery merchant seemed to suddenly remember something, took out a letter from his arms, and said to Tao Qian: "It's just that Zhang Min didn't pay attention this time, and when he finally destroyed the corpse, it seemed that the old man was missing, but the old man had been stabbed by Zhang Min before, and it is estimated that even if he escaped from the cold weather, and it was worth the Xuzhou Yellow Turban rebellion, there would be no way to live." This letter was found from the old man's carriage, and put it together with a bunch of treasured gold and silver, like a letter to his family, Zhang Min didn't know how to read, so he gave it to his son, if it wasn't for your father to mention it, his son would have almost forgotten it. ”

"Show me!" After listening to the words of the pottery merchant, Tao Qian took the letter with a gloomy face, and looked at it carefully from the beginning, it was just the words of some sons missing their father, but some of the words such as "Yanzhou has been decided, Qingzhou is over" and other words are vague, but there is nothing surprising, but when Tao Qian saw the payment, his eyes widened, so he didn't stand firm, and fell to the ground.

"Son Mengde, please bow to you! ......" (To be continued.) )
