Because of Lu Bu's promise and the change of defense of the Qingzhou army in Xiapi City, for a time the confidence of the people who were uneasy and frightened because of the danger of Xiapi was greatly settled, and the people on the roadside would say that Lu Bu, coupled with the inducement of people with intentions, almost made Lu Bu as a savior in Xiapi City. Lu Bu has become a gold-lettered signboard, no matter whether he could see it before or not, now that this great god is sitting in Xuzhou, at least this surname is already worry-free.

"Er, listen, listen! Do those people outside still have our Tao family in their eyes? It's all your bad idea! Now Lu Bu has indeed entered Picheng to change his defense, but this Xuzhou ...... Aren't you worried that we're driving away wolves and tigers by doing this? Then Cao ** wants Xuzhou, doesn't this Lu Bu want it? Just when the people of Xiapi gathered to greet Lu Bu, in the Xuzhou Mu Mansion in Xiapi, the people in the Tao Mansion were not very interested. It's no wonder that his own family is obviously the real "master" of the three counties and three places in Xuzhou, but now he has been robbed of the limelight by the notorious Lu Bu in Qingzhou several times, especially because his father is a state pastor, and the pottery merchant who holds one-third of the troops in Xiapi City is even more depressed. Tao Ying, the second child who didn't seem to care about this matter, also complained a little more. Even if the pottery merchant is messing around, it can be seen that if Lu Bu is allowed to continue like this, the people's will will gain it, and it is still unknown whether Xuzhou can continue to be surnamed Tao in the future.

"Little brother, is this a bad idea? Then big brother, you have a bad idea? Could it be that you don't have a big brother, do you have a strategy to deal with Cao **? Or do you have the ability to protect your chances? Father has been in a coma for three days now, Cao Jun sharpened his knife Huo Huo is outside the city, if you have the ability, big brother, you can also come up with an idea! Tao Ying is not even interested in looking at the pottery merchant now, his eldest brother, who was still calling for affection from a second brother before, said conclusively that he was willing to condescend to others, and he was willing to give up the matter of inheriting Tao Qian's family business, only a few days? When the voice was still there, and now he saw that the difficulties of Xia Pi could be solved in a moment, so he reverted to his old ways, but complained about himself, Tao Yingwu fiddled with the silk handkerchief in his hand, gently touched the corners of his mouth, rolled his eyes and said.

"This ...... That can't be allowed to let Lu Bu win the hearts of the people like this! The potter heard the meaning of his second child's words, and a trace of embarrassment flashed on his ugly face. If you don't die, you won't die! In the final analysis, this Cao ** was provoked by the potter himself, and asking for help Lu Bu had to say that it was indeed the most correct choice at that time, but listening to the cheers outside, now the potter can't wait to slap himself a few times to relieve his hatred. Grinning embarrassedly, he said to Tao Ying: "Second brother, the eldest brother knows that you are the smartest, but you have to think of a way not to let Lu Bu go on like this again, if the Tao family is really finished, you and my brother will have to obey the arrangements of outsiders!" ”

"The eldest son, the second son, the lord, the lord, he woke up!" The fate of the old Tao family, why are there so many misfortunes! However, just when the pottery merchant complained about the sky, Tao Ying ignored it, and the Tao Mansion was in a downturn, in stark contrast to the cheering voices of the people outside the house, there was finally good news that his father, the real Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian woke up.

"My son, is Xiapi still there? Is my father and son's surname still alive? "It's really hard for Tao Qian, sixty years old, he was already old at the end of the Han Dynasty, and he had experienced so many ups and downs, but the first sentence when he woke up was to ask this. It can be seen how optimistic he is about the situation in Xiapi before, and whether his two precious sons can defend Xiapi City.

"Dad, I didn't lose it!" Tao Ying saw that Tao Qian had just woken up, and his body was very weak, so he grabbed the Tao merchant who wanted to tell everything about the past, took the silk handkerchief into his arms, and helped Tao Qian, who was struggling to get up, to sit up.

"Didn't lose it? Could it be that there is something in Yanzhou, and Cao ** is too busy to take care of himself? Or did you say that you moved Lu Bu? Tao Qian is really an old man, he has just come to his senses, and just by relying on Tao Ying's words and the face of the pottery merchant, he said the correct answer in one sentence.

"Second brother, Daddy knows this, isn't that what he said?" The pottery merchant did not tell the truth because of Tao Ying's gesture just now, and this time he saw that Tao Qian could "predict the prophet", and he didn't care about Tao Ying pouting on the side, his eyes rolled, and he grinned: "Daddy said well, my son said that the Cao thief was very fierce, and the soldiers were in full swing, and it was difficult to compete with it with the military strength of my lower Pi, so he took the blame in front of the street to Mi Beijiafu, and asked him to go out of the city to see Lu Bu together with the Cao family and the Chen family, please Lu Bu must look at the love of Qingxu and Xu, and give your father and your son a face, this is not, Seeing that there seemed to be some change in Cao's military camp, Lu Bu entered the city as promised to change guards with General Cao Bao! ”

"What? Is there such a thing? Ying'er? What Shang'er said is the truth? Tao Qian frowned slightly, obviously not believing that Lu Bu could help Xuzhou deal with his allies at this time, and he didn't believe that his eldest son, who would only seek his own benefits, still had such a calculating, and asked the second son Tao Yingdao on the side. As for the unashamed claim that Lu Bu sold his face, Tao Qian chose his surname and didn't hear it.

"Ahem, that's true! General Lu just led 20,000 troops into the city a moment ago, and he will definitely go to the mansion to visit your father's illness in a while! Tao Ying listened to the pottery merchant in front of Tao Qian, and actually took the credit completely on himself, this time he kept giving himself a look, it seemed that he had already expected his eldest brother's surname, after hearing Tao Qian's question, he didn't pay attention to the pottery merchant's strange face, coughed lightly, and said lightly.

"The Mi family, the Cao family, the Chen family? Did these three really go out of the city to contact Lu Bu when I was seriously ill? After listening to Tao Ying's words, Tao Qian nodded noncommittally and asked Tao Shangdao again.

"That's right, when the son lost face, he was shirtless on a cold day, and he went to invite them with two thorns on his back!" I don't know if I didn't notice Tao Qian's frowning brows, the pottery merchant still said unashamedly to himself: "It's just that this Lu Bu is also hateful, and these people in Xiapi City who have long been favored by their father are also ignorant, obviously it is this Lu Bu who has received the huge benefits of my Tao family, so he is willing to help twice, these people are not grateful to Daddy, you are just grateful, but you are grateful to that Lu Bu, if this continues, Lu Bu's prestige in Xuzhou, his son is worried...... Daddy has to guard against it! ”

"Hmm!" Tao Qian rarely looked at the eldest son who caused trouble for Xiapi and nodded. No wonder people say that a daughter-in-law is the beauty of others, and a son is his own good! Even if the potter said that no matter how muddy he was, he couldn't support the wall, but after all, he was the eldest son of his old Tao, and he was able to say these words before and after seeing that the potter had experienced this, no matter who taught it, Tao Qian was rarely relieved by Lao Huai, and said: "Shang'er can have such knowledge, but it reassures his father." But this matter ends here, Lu Bu has his own way to solve it for his father, and in a few days, Shang'er, you will go to express your 'gratitude' to the Mi, Chen, and Cao families on behalf of your father, remember? ”

"No! Father, just look at it! This time, the son has already had some friendship with the heads of the three families, and he is thinking about moving around from time to time! "I can't remember how long I haven't been praised like this by Tao Qian. The potter felt that he had never been so proud in his life as he was today, as for Tao Ying, who was watching coldly from the sidelines, he had already been thrown away by the potter, and when Tao Qian finished speaking, the potter's face was full of joy, and he swore a promise.

"Since Lu Qingzhou has helped us in Xuzhou so much, and he neglected others at the gate of the city, how can he be allowed to come to visit the old man? Come on, dress the old man, Shang'er, Ying'er, the two of you go to see Lu Qingzhou with your father, and thank your father for his help in person! Tao Qian pondered for a moment and suddenly commanded.

"Dad, you have just recovered from this serious illness...... Tao Shang and the two brothers wanted to persuade each other when they saw Tao Qian's move, but seeing Tao Qian's intentions, they had no choice but to obey their father's order.

"General Lu, you have to come to the rescue this time to save Xiapi City from being destroyed, and the leopard really admires it!" Regarding the matter of arranging the affairs of the change of defense, the surnames Cao, Zang Ba, Tai Shici and others contacted the generals of the Danyang Army, but Lu Bu was idle instead, and was invited to a secluded place by Cao Bao on the grounds that he had something to ask.

"General Cao is polite! Bu is a straight surname, if there is anything important, please say it directly, if you can help, Bu will never have a word of excuse! Compared with other generals in Xuzhou, Lu Bu is also rare for Cao Bao not to be repulsed, and said with a haha. Originally, because of Cao's unintentional words, Lu Bu had inexplicable concerns in his heart, which made Lu Bu worry about his own son-in-law Qin Xu being tricked by Jia Xu's old fox who was good at making people's hearts, after all, although Jia Xu pretended to be Qin Xu's general, but after all, in addition to being in Linzi, his actions were very secretive, and the shadows of his subordinates had never been revealed, I have to say that it was a hidden danger, Lu Bu was looking for an opportunity to mention Qin Xu, but he was pulled by Cao Bao as soon as he entered the city.

"General Fengxian is really straightforward, since this is the case, the leopard will not beat around the bush and delay Fengxian's military affairs!" Seeing Lu Bu say this, Cao Bao laughed loudly a few times, and his face inexplicably showed a more and more satisfied look, he actually carefully looked at Lu Bu's appearance, nodded again and again, and even the title was a lot more intimate, and said with a smile: "That's the case, the leopard does have a matter to ask General Lu, and this matter will never violate Fengxian's heart, but it is just a little caution of the leopard to show respect for Fengxian." ”

"Oh? Since there is such a statement, please General Cao to speak bluntly! Cloth is not allowed! Lu Bu didn't pay too much attention to Cao Bao's mysterious move, and he was sure that Cao Bao, as the chief general of Xuzhou, couldn't make any moths when his 20,000 troops changed their defenses, so he generously agreed.

"The leopard has a little girl, twenty-eight years old, although the appearance is unbearable, but the victory is gentle and considerate, General Lu came to Xuzhou alone, for the people in Xiapi City, no one to serve, which is not beautiful, the leopard every time I want to come, there is a lot of unbearable, so ......" Cao Bao bowed his head and smiled lightly, and said.

"Wait?" Lu Bu was still a little confused at first, but before Cao Bao's words were finished, Lu Bu already understood what Cao Bao meant. What? Is this a gift for our daughter? Are you kidding? You are the chief general of Xuzhou, and our Lao Lu is the lord of Qingzhou, and I don't know if I have any scruples about the impact? Besides, the two big beauties in the backyard of Linzi Mansion can't hurt it, and our old Lu is not the kind of person who sees different thoughts, how can he see different thoughts? He said: "General Cao doesn't want to play, Lu already has a wife and a beautiful concubine in his family, and this is already the case in this march, General Cao is also a martial artist, how can you say this?" The general's good intentions, Bu Xin received it, but this matter is difficult to follow! ”

"Feng Xian should not be in a hurry to shirk, but he is just serving in Xuzhou for a few days, and even Feng Xian's family will not bear to be alone in Feng Xian, right? Didn't Feng Xian already take it down just now? The leopard still has important business, and he will discuss the details with Feng Xian in the evening! I don't know where Cao Bao came from, this leopard guts, took Lu Bu's words, but didn't wait for Lu Bu to say anything more, directly excused himself to have something important, and left in a hurry, leaving Lu Bu to look at Cao Bao's back and cry and laugh. The meaning of Cao Bao's words, how can Lu Bu not understand the reason? I have to say that if it is to achieve the original discussion with Qin Xu, Guo Jia and others in Linzi before completely pacifying Qingzhou, enriching Qingzhou's combat strength, and improving the official system, for Xuzhou, he will first borrow chickens and eggs to control Xuzhou's affairs from the side, Cao Bao's proposal is undoubtedly the safest way. If there is the Cao family, the local wealthy family in Xuzhou who controls half of the Danyang elite soldiers in Xuzhou, to help, the Chen family also expressed their closeness in the original camp, unless Tao Qian does his best, it is not yet known who has the final say in Xuzhou.

But the problem is that for Lu Bu, he has a deep relationship with the Yan family for more than ten years, and he shares weal and woe with Diao Chan, which is a "beautiful thing" in the eyes of others, but in front of Lu Bu, it has been raised to the height of whether it can successfully implement the Xuzhou strategy, and it is a headache......
