After Zhang Bao's army entered Xiapi City, Cao Cao roared angrily: "My Cao Cao was actually ridden by a little kid to pee on his head, it really makes no sense!" The whole army has strengthened its vigilance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Although Cao Cao was angry, he did not lose his mind. He ordered the army to be on higher alert and did not attack the city again. In this way, the two sides confronted each other.

After Zhang Bao entered Xiapi City, he found that Liu Bei, Zhao Yun and Chen Dao, as well as a strong man, were already in Xiapi City with Liu Bei.

Tao Qian came to Zhang Bao with a smile and hugged his fists and said: "Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian greets the Prime Minister!" The prime minister was able to bring heavy troops to help Xuzhou, and Tao was grateful. ”

Zhang Bao also hugged his fists and smiled: "Hehe, Tao Gong is polite!" I didn't expect Uncle Xuande and Brother Zilong to come earlier! Dare to be this strong man? ”

Zhang Bao looked at the strong man he didn't know and said.

Liu Bei hugged his fists when he heard this: "This is my fourth brother Tai Shici, the word is meaningful." ”

Zhang Bao shook his head helplessly when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly and hugged his fist at Tai Shi Ci and said, "I've seen General Tai Shi." I didn't expect General Taishi to come together with my Uncle Xuande. ”

Hearing this, Tai Shi Ci clenched his fists expressionlessly and said, "It seems that you don't have any friendship with the Prime Minister, right?" ”

Zhang Bao touched his nose with his right hand and said, "Well, it seems to be." But General Taishi and my Uncle Liu came together, so we can be considered friends. Brother Zilong is good, uncle to big brother is good. ”

Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi smiled together when they heard the words, and gave Zhang Bao a fist salute.

Seeing this, Tao Qian said: "Hehe, it turns out that everyone used to know each other, hurry, please sit down." The Prime Minister has worked hard all the way, and it is time for the soldiers to rest and rest. ”

"Gong Tao, please, Uncle Liu, please!" Zhang Bao stretched out his right hand and said.

Tao Qian saw Zhang Bao taking the two of them to the banquet together, and immediately ordered someone to prepare two more seats, and couldn't help but say to Zhang Bao: "Dare to ask who are the two behind the Prime Minister?" ”

Zhang Bao smiled when he heard this: "This scribe is Chen Gong, the military advisor of my Qingzhou Army, and the word is Gongtai. This general is the vanguard general of our Qingzhou Army, General Gao Lan, the character Yuanbo. ”

"It turned out to be Chen Gongtai and General Gao, fortunately! Come, sit. Tao Qian said loudly.

Liu Bei couldn't help but look at Chen Gong and Gao Ran when he heard this, and he was really speechless to the extreme about Zhang Bao's encounter: it has only been a few years, and Zhang Bao's power has developed so fast, not only has several famous generals, but also has the support of wise men like Chen Gong, Xun You, Li Ru and other wise men, and he has become the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. And what about yourself? Now there is not even a piece of land, how can this gap be so big!

The shame on Liu Bei's face happened to be seen by Tao Qian. Seeing this, Tao Qian hurriedly said: "Tao is here to thank Uncle Huang and the Prime Minister for their assistance. Come, let's do this together. ”

And they drank it all,......。

For the next three days, Cao Cao's army remained stationed outside the city of Xiapi, neither attacking nor retreating. Seeing this, Liu Bei said to Tao Qian: "Tao Gong, why don't you let Bei write a letter to Cao Cao and persuade him to retreat?" ”

When Zhang Bao heard this, he knew that Liu Bei's letter must have worked. Because Cao Cao had lost the will to continue to attack Picheng at this time. But if he wrote a letter to Cao Cao, Cao Cao would definitely not appreciate it. And if Liu Bei writes it, Cao Cao will most likely give Liu Bei this face.

Tao Qian frowned when he heard this: "Okay, there is Uncle Lao Huang." ”

Zhang Bao was very disgusted by Tao Qian's repeated claims that Liu Bei was the emperor's uncle, but Tao Qian was willing to do so, what could he do?

Sure enough, when Cao Cao received Liu Bei's letter, it happened that Xi Zhi came to report: "Lord, something happened in Yanzhou!" ”

Cao Cao frowned when he heard this: "Something happened in Yanzhou? What's going on? Could it be that Zhang Bao also sent troops to attack Yanzhou? Does he really want to turn against me? Shouldn't it be? ”

Xi Zhicai shook his head when he heard this: "It's not Zhang Bao. Lord, it was Lu Bu who attacked our Yanzhou. ”

"Lu Bu? Didn't he defect to Yuan Shao? Why did you suddenly come to attack our Yanzhou? How unreasonable! What do you think we should do? Cao Cao frowned.

Xi Zhicai smiled slightly when he heard this, and then squinted his eyes and said: "Lord, Yanzhou is our base, and there is absolutely no room for error." Also, since Zhang Bao has come here, it is time for General Xiahou Yuan of Chang'an to succeed. The subordinates think: We should withdraw our troops immediately, in the name of returning to Yanzhou, in fact, there are two purposes, one is to welcome His Majesty, and the other is to prepare to round up Zhang Bao.

The subordinates estimated that after Zhang Bao received the news of His Majesty's escape, he would sneak back to Chang'an as soon as possible. After all, even if His Majesty leaves, there are still many officials and ministers in Chang'an City. Zhang Bao doesn't go, and I'm afraid that none of his subordinates will be able to suppress those people. And this just gives us the best opportunity to round up Zhang Bao. ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao clapped his hands and said, "Smack!" Hahaha good! Everything is unfolding according to the plan of the military advisor, and I think that Zhang Bud will meet me soon, and there is a letter of persuasion from Liu Bei here. I'll just be a favor and give Liu Bei this face. Military advisor, let the army immediately make food, and prepare to pull out the camp and return to Yanzhou after an hour. ”

"Command!" Xi Zhicai left after receiving the order.

Cao Cao is gone! In Tao Qian's view, it was Liu Bei who seized the opportunity to write a letter of persuasion to Cao Cao before Cao Cao left. But Zhang Bao, as a person who came over, knew that Cao Cao retreated because of Lu Bu's sneak attack on Yanzhou. But there was no reason for Cao Cao's retreat at this time, and Zhang Bao couldn't say it. Otherwise, Tao Qian and Liu Bei will definitely be offended to death, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

In order to celebrate Cao Cao's retirement, Tao Qian once again held a banquet to entertain Liu Bei and Zhang Bao. During the banquet, Tao Qian hugged his fist at Liu Bei and said: "Hehe, this time, thanks to Uncle Liu's letter, Cao Cao's tens of thousands of tigers and wolves were withdrawn, so that the people of Xuzhou avoided the suffering of war." Tao is here to pay a glass to the emperor's uncle. ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei directly raised his glass to Tao Qian, and then drank it all.

After Liu Bei finished drinking, Tao Qian smiled and said to Liu Bei again: "Uncle Huang, with all due respect, Tao is already old and can no longer continue to serve as the assassin of Xuzhou, and Tao wants to give up the post of Xuzhou assassin to Uncle Huang." Uncle Huang don't refuse first, everyone knows: this time Cao Bing's pressure brought unprecedented pain to the people of Xuzhou, all because of Tao's fault. And all this was relieved by a letter from the imperial uncle. Tao asked the imperial uncle to take over the post of Xuzhou assassin. ”

After Tao Qian finished speaking, he came to Liu Bei with the seal letter of Xuzhou Thorn History, and bowed deeply to Liu Bei.

Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Tao Gong, you can't do it!" Bei came to help Tao Gong fight against Cao, but he couldn't bear to see Cao Cao's massacre of the people of Xuzhou. There is no idea of coveting Xuzhou. Moreover, Cao Cao's withdrawal this time has a lot to do with the fact that Prime Minister Zhang Cheng brought heavy troops to come, and it is definitely not a letter that can persuade him to retreat. ”

Tao Qian shook his head again and again when he heard this: "Uncle Huang, as a relative of the emperor, can work tirelessly to rescue Xuzhou, and the old man really wants to entrust Xuzhou to Uncle Huang from the bottom of his heart." Prime Minister Zhang Cheng has now passed through Qingzhou and Liangzhou, and he may not be able to take care of Xuzhou. I also hope that Uncle Huang will accept Tao's request, so that Tao can enjoy his old age in peace. ”

Zhang Bao heard how depressed he was, but he couldn't vent it yet. He looked at Liu Bei's hypocritical appearance, and really wanted to step forward to accept it for Liu Bei.

"Tao Gong can't! Even if Liu is kind to Xuzhou, he will not replace your position! Liu Bei excused himself again.

Seeing this, Zhang Bao coughed: "Cough! Cough! Uncle Liu, since Tao Gong intends to give you the position of Xuzhou Thorn History, then you should work hard and take charge of Xuzhou on his behalf. If Uncle Liu feels embarrassed, then I have to work hard to take charge of Xuzhou on Uncle Liu's behalf. ”

Hearing this, Tao Qian gritted his teeth and shook his head: "Prime Minister Zhang, Tao is grateful for your righteousness. Tao knew that if it weren't for Zhang Chengxiang to bring a large army this time, Cao Cao would definitely not retreat. But in the end, it was Uncle Huang's letter that made Cao Cao leave. Therefore, Uncle Huang's contribution to Xuzhou is much greater than that of Prime Minister Zhang Cheng.

However, in order to thank Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, I am willing to send Xuzhou Langxie County to Prime Minister Zhang Cheng to express my gratitude. But the post of Xuzhou Assassin is still better taken over by the emperor's uncle, I don't know what Prime Minister Zhang Cheng thinks? ”

Zhang Bao smiled when she heard this: "Good, good, so good!" As long as you don't let me come in vain. Then please ask Tao Gong to hand over the letter of Taishou Seal of Langxie County to me. ”

Hearing this, Tao Qian looked at Liu Bei and shook his head slightly, and then ordered someone to take out the seal letter of Langxie County and hand it to Zhang Bao. Zhang Bao took a closer look and put it away.

Tao Qian shook his head slightly when he saw this, and then said to Liu Bei again: "Is Uncle Huang still going to refuse now?" ”

Liu Bei bit his lip when he heard the words and said, "Then thank you Tao Gong for your love!" ”

"Uncle Huang is wise!" Tao Qian then handed over the thorn seal letter in his hand to Liu Bei.

Seeing this, Zhang Bao laughed and said, "Hehe...... congratulations to Uncle Liu for becoming the pastor of Xuzhou." In this way, you and I will become neighbors from now on. I also hope that Uncle Liu can work together with me to fight Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. ”

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this: "There are a lot of good generals and strategists under Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, so how can Cao Cao and Yuan Shao be Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's opponents." And now that His Majesty is still in the hands of Prime Minister Zhang, what can the two of them do to the Prime Minister? ”

Zhang Bao saw that Liu Bei's words were thorny, and he didn't want to reason with him anymore, but got up and came to Zhao Yun: "Brother Zilong, now that the matter of Xuzhou is over, I am leaving, I hope you and my Uncle Liu can develop and grow Xuzhou." If Brother Zilong wants to come to Qingzhou to have a look, I welcome you at any time. ”

Liu Bei said angrily when he heard this: "Prime Minister Zhang, are you trying to win over Zilong in front of me?" Zilong is my brother, do you think it makes sense for you to do this? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Bao ignored Liu Bei's jealousy, but looked at Zhao Yun's eyes sincerely, and then turned to Chen Zhi with a slight smile and said, "Uncle Zhi, big brother, don't come to harm!" In the future, persuade me Uncle Liu, he seems to have a big prejudice against me. ”

"General Ziyi, take care, I'm leaving!" Zhang Bao took one last look at Tai Shici, and then left with Chen Gong and Gao Ran.

After Zhang Bao left, Tao Qian smiled and said: "Uncle Huang is angry, this Zhang Bao is young and ambitious, and it is inevitable that he will be arrogant. But he's always been very accurate. The fact that he was able to attach so much importance to the three generals Zilong, Shuzhi and Ziyi showed that the three brothers of the imperial uncle were all amazing existences. Tao congratulated the emperor's uncle. ”

Liu Bei frowned when he heard this: "This bud has so many capable military generals under his command, but he has always remembered Zilong and Shuzhi, and now the same is true for the meaning of the word, which is really unreasonable!" Does he want me to take refuge in him too? ”

"Hehehe......!" Everyone smiled when they heard this. All the unpleasantness dissipated.
