Chapter 450: Tao Qian's death
"My lord, I just saw that your navy seems to have brought something back from the sea, I wonder if you can reveal a thing or two?" After Cao Cao's envoy waited for the person in charge of the dockyard, he didn't talk nonsense, and directly entered the topic. Music-Text
After hearing the words of Cao Cao's envoy, the person in charge of the dockyard didn't care, but just said the truth: "Yes, our navy did have a battle with people at sea, and also captured a number of people. It's just that those people speak different languages than us, and we don't get any useful information. ”
Cao Cao's envoy suddenly turned black when he heard what the person in charge of the dock said, but soon, he pretended to be okay again. "In that case, then so-and-so won't bother adults."
Cao Cao's envoy didn't get the news he wanted, and he didn't plan to stay, so he left the dock directly.
As soon as he left the range of the dock, Cao Cao's envoy's originally kind smile suddenly put away. "Hmph, since your words don't count, then it's no wonder that we are!"
It turned out that this Cao Cao's envoy turned out to be Cao Cao's henchman Xiahou Dun. After Cao Cao established a post by the sea, he also arranged for his henchmen to guard it. While monitoring the sea to the east, it also means guarding against the dock.
At this time, Xiahoudun already thought that the dock had hidden some news, and after Ye Mo left Qingzhou, the dock was an increase in troops, and he also practiced battle formations from time to time, Cao Cao had long doubted the role of the dock.
When Xiahoudun returned to his own military camp, he immediately gathered his own military horses and planned to surround the dock. It's just that in this process, Xiahoudun didn't let people stop the prisoners sent to Luoyang by the dock.
Just take down the dock. What do a few captives count? Moreover, Xiahoudun was also worried that if he intercepted those captives, he might leak the news.
Regarding the crisis of the Qingzhou dock, Ye Mo didn't understand it at all. At this moment, Ye Mo was discussing possible allies with the leader of the cottage.
In fact. If you talk about it, Ye Mo really has a plan, that is, to form an alliance with the bandits in Woniu Mountain.
Maybe some people don't know just about Woniu Mountain, but the two leaders on Woniu Mountain, one is named Zhou Cang. One person is named Pei Yuanshao.
That's right, when these two people went to Luoyang, they were only met by Ye Mo, and after learning Ye Mo's identity, they were afraid that their identities would be exposed. So I left early.
It's just that Woniu Mountain and the cottage are hundreds of miles apart, and it is even more inconvenient to contact at this time, even if an alliance is formed, it has no practical significance.
It was the chief, but it was proposed a possible ally. It's just that this "ally" still has a bit of a grudge with the cottage.
This person is none other than Xue Piao, who talked about the cottage before. Although Xue Piao surrounded the cottage at that time. But in the end, under Ye Mo's design, Xue Piao thought that Chen Xin had saved him, and he stabbed Chen Xin at the last moment. Therefore, there was no further investigation.
After the leader mentioned Xue Piao, Ye Mo also thought about it. Speaking of which, this person is really the best candidate for a copycat alliance.
It's just that since ancient times, officials and bandits have been incompatible, especially for people like Xue Piao, who are almost paranoid and insist on the beliefs in their hearts.
"This man is a good ally. But with this person's character, I'm afraid he disdains us and others. Ye Mo looked at the leader. Immediately, he sighed.
After hearing Ye Mo's emotion, the leader suddenly looked at Ye Mo and showed a strange expression. And said: "If we are really just bandits, it will naturally be difficult to form an alliance with that Xue Piao. But aren't there still military advisors to you now? It's just that the military advisor gave an order, so Xue Piao still wants to obediently form an alliance with me and us? ”
When Ye Mo heard this, he immediately patted his head. In the past few days in the cottage, Ye Mo also regarded himself as a part of the cottage, and he forgot his identity.
"In that case, it looks like I need to go back to Luoyang again." Ye Mo looked at the leader and said silently.
As soon as this problem was solved, Ye Mo's heart was also relaxed. With allies, the plan that Ye Mo took over was much easier.
While finding allies, Ye Mo did not forget about Zhou Cang and them in Woniu Mountain. Although it is said that Woniu Mountain often does some work of robbing houses, especially Pei Yuanshao, these two people still have a bottom line after all, and it is worth trying to win them over.
Therefore, Ye Mo also planned to let the people of the Luo Family Chamber of Commerce win over. As long as Woniu Mountain is willing to act according to Ye Mo's plan, then the Luo Family Chamber of Commerce provides food and drink for all the people on Woniu Mountain, so what is it?
And just when Ye Mo thought of what kind of ally to look for, there was bad news on the Xuzhou side.
Because of the impact of the locust plague, the fertile arable land in Xuzhou has directly become a world of locusts. Tao Qian was very old at this time, and the dark diseases buried in his body in his early years of fighting have also erupted one after another in the past few years.
Therefore, when facing the locust plague in the Lifting Realm, Tao Qian fell ill all of a sudden.
As soon as Tao Qian fell, his son was not able to provoke the beam, and suddenly Cao Bao directly led his troops to force the palace.
Since Cao Bao planned to take refuge in Ye Mo in Yuzhou, he was bent on taking down the control of Xuzhou as a letter of refuge in Ye Mo. After that, although Ye Mo resigned as a lieutenant in the imperial court, Ye Mo's prestige did not diminish at all.
In the following time, Cao Bao also learned that the Chen family actually sent Chen Dengqi to Luoyang to participate in the literary examination, and won the first place in the literary examination. In order to ensure the status of the Cao family in Ye Mo's eyes, when Tao Qian fell ill, Cao Bao began to mutiny.
As for the Mi family, seeing that Cao Bao had made a move, he naturally refused to lag behind. Although the Mi family does not control the military power of Xuzhou, but the Mi family chamber of commerce can become bigger, then it must also have a certain amount of force in its hands. In a short period of time, the Mi family also gathered 3,000 private soldiers to besiege the state pastor's mansion.
However, Chen Gui did not stand up at this time, but entered the state pastor's mansion before Cao Bao's mutiny.
On the hospital bed, Tao Qian looked at Chen Gui in front of the bed, his eyes full of sadness and a little bit of relief. "Unexpectedly, in the end, only Han Yu was loyal to Tao."
Seeing Tao Qian like this, Chen Gui immediately showed a sad expression. Tao Qian suffered, and Chen Gui shared the same sorrow.
Seeing Chen Gui like this, Tao Qian also called his son to him. "It doesn't matter if Tao dies, it's just that Tao is worried about his two sons." Saying that, Tao Qian also glanced at his sons Tao Shang and Tao Ying, and then said to Chen Gui: "If Han Yu has a heart, please take care of Han Yu in the future." ”
"Don't say that, my lord, the two sons are people who are blessed by the great, how can they be changed by Xiaoxiao?" After hearing Tao Qian's words, Chen Gui suddenly knelt down in front of Tao Qian and spoke.
Tao Qian was also very relieved to see Chen Gui like this. It's just that at this time, a person rushed in outside the door and said to Tao Qian: "My lord, the big thing is not good, General Cao has begun to attack outside, and we can't hold it for long!" ”
Tao Qian's face was full of relief, but after listening to the report of his subordinates at this time, a mouthful of blood in his chest was not held back, and it spurted out directly.
"Your Excellency, take care of yourself!" Seeing Tao Qian like this, Chen Gui suddenly knelt beside Tao Qian's bed and cried loudly at Tao Qian.
And Tao Qian saw Chen Gui like this at this time, and immediately sighed, tremblingly smashed one of his porcelain pillows, took out a seal from it and handed it to Chen Gui's hand. "Han Yu, my son, I'll leave it to you."
After Chen Gui took the seal from Tao Qian's hand, his face suddenly changed, he stood up from Tao Qian's bed, and said coldly: "Since the adults are so worried about the two sons, it is better to take them and take care of them." ”
Tao Qian saw that Chen Gui was like this, and he didn't understand that he was fooled. It's just that Tao Qian had no other person to trust at that time, but he didn't expect that Tao Qian was the pastor of a state, but when he was dying, he didn't have anyone to trust.
Thinking of this, Tao Qian spit out a mouthful of blood again, and then fell straight on the bed, without movement. (To be continued)
