Zhang Bao is still immersed in the joy of his success: in history, the person who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes was Cao Cao, and now this person is him Zhang Bao. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Hehe, I didn't expect me to replace Cao Cao's limelight. I don't know how Cao Cao feels now? Will he be grateful when he receives his letter of appointment? And how do the brothers in Qingzhou feel? Hahaha...... "Zhang Bao entertained himself by himself.

"Brother Bao, why are you always being alone these days, can't you tell me? Let me have fun with you! Only then did Zhen Mi come to Zhang Bao's side and say.

Seeing Zhen Mi's complaining look, Zhang Bao hurriedly got up and said, "Mi'er, I'm really sorry, I've been busy with political affairs during this time and ignored your feelings, it's all my fault!" Isn't this about to be the New Year? Let's go out together to buy New Year's goods and buy some new clothes for you. ”

"Really? That's great! I haven't been shopping in a long time! Let's go! After Zhen Mi finished speaking, she pulled Zhang Bao and walked out. Hou Si and his subordinates hurriedly followed.

……

During the Chinese New Year in 192, Zhang Bao gave the court a holiday and agreed to the early tenth day of the New Year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Bao took Zhen Mi, Xun You, Li Ru and Zhang He to celebrate the New Year with the emperor in the palace.

After everyone watched the dance of the palace maid together, Zhang Bao said to Emperor Xian: "Your Majesty, how are you doing in the palace during this time?" ”

Hearing this, Emperor Xian hurriedly replied: "Yes, Prime Minister." Thanks to the Prime Minister for arranging my life so comfortably, I am grateful to the Prime Minister. ”

Although Emperor Xian was only twelve years old at this time, three years younger than Zhang Bao, he was forced to mature a lot by Dong Zhuo. He already had an intuitive understanding of his situation, so he answered Zhang Bao's question very carefully.

Hearing this, Zhang Bao nodded and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about anything in this palace, the minister will not let people interfere too much in your life." ”

"Thank you Prime Minister for your understanding." Emperor Xian nodded.

Zhang Bao continued: "Your Majesty, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the minister is also fifteen years old. I congratulate Your Majesty on your health and longevity, and you will enjoy eternal blessings. ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty on your health and longevity, and eternal blessings!" Xun You and Li Ru also raised their glasses together when they heard this.

Emperor Xian hurriedly raised his glass and said, "Thank you Aiqing for your blessings, I thank you from the bottom of my heart." Come on, let's have this toast. ”

And they drank it all.

After Zhang Bao finished drinking, he didn't pay attention to Emperor Xian, but raised his glass to Zhen Mi and said: "Mi'er, come, Xianggong, I also salute you, thank you for your silent dedication to me, hard work." ”

Zhen Mi's eyes suddenly moistened when she heard this, since she followed Zhang Bao, she was personally responsible for Zhang Bao's diet and daily life. He personally washed Zhang Bao and tidied up the housework, but Zhang Bao never thanked her as if he couldn't see it. At this time, Zhang Bao thanked her in such a general way, Zhen Mi didn't know if Zhang Bao really knew her efforts, but she was still moved to tears.

Seeing this, Zhang Bao hugged Zhen Mi into her arms distressedly.

Seeing this, Emperor Xian hurriedly said: "I didn't expect the relationship between the prime minister and his wife to be so deep, it's really envious!" I wish the prime minister and his wife a long life! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Bao let go of Zhen Mi, raised his wine glass and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Bao got up after drinking it all and said: "Your Majesty, today is a big day, the minister will not bother you, the minister hopes that His Majesty will strictly abide by his duties in the palace, and don't make trouble, otherwise I don't know what General Hou will do." Let's go! ”

Zhang Bao did not salute the emperor after speaking, and left the palace directly with everyone. Emperor Xian looked at Zhang Bao's back thoughtfully.

The next year was uneventful. Zhang Bao ordered Xun Yu to strengthen his control over the Chang'an area, and Zhang He and others would step up the training of soldiers. During this period, Zhang Bao also took the special combat team back to Qingzhou. Seeing that Qingzhou was safe, Zhang Bao made some routine arrangements and returned to Chang'an again.

Zhang Bao returned to Qingzhou suddenly this time, and he didn't stay long in Qingzhou, although he chose to go through Yanzhou, but he was not caught by Xi Zhicai. Cao Cao also ushered in a rare one-year break. It was this year that made the strength of Cao Cao and Zhang Bao stronger, but neither of them moved because they had too many scruples.

However, in March of the following year, the news from Xuzhou made Zhang Bao restless, and after some careful consideration, he decided to return to Qingzhou again.

It turned out that Cao Cao's father was killed by Zhang Min, the general of Xuzhou Assassin Shi Taoqian, and robbed Cao's father of the treasure he carried. Cao Cao was heartbroken by this and decided to take revenge on Tao Qian and send troops to Xuzhou.

After Zhang Bao received the news, he knew that he was still coming. This seemingly peaceful state between him and Cao Cao is about to disappear.

When Zhang Bao received the news, it happened that Hou Si took the special combat team to the western part of Liangzhou to spy on the enemy. Because there are all kinds of signs that Ma Teng and Hu Ren are ready to move.

Zhang Bao knew that time was pressing, so he didn't wait for the special combat team to come back, but directly brought five personal guards, and after explaining to Xun You, he hurried to Qingzhou.

Because of the urgency of time, Zhang Bao chose to go directly through Yanzhou, because he had already done a round trip in this matter. After Zhang Bao entered the territory of Yanzhou, he found that Cao Cao had already sent troops. At that moment, he rushed to Jinan County day and night.

When Tao Qian of Xuzhou learned that his subordinates had killed Cao's father, he was so frightened that he hurriedly asked the surrounding princes for help, but none of the princes were willing to participate in his feud with Cao Cao.

Zhang Bao returned to Dongping Lingcheng, and after seeing Chen Gong, Chen Gong invited Tao Qian's messenger out as soon as possible.

When the messenger saw Zhang Bao, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Prime Minister, please save Xuzhou quickly!" You must have heard that Cao Cao's father was killed, and he threatened to wash Xuzhou in blood. The princes of all walks of life are afraid to avoid it, and now only the prime minister can save Xuzhou! Please send troops to stop Cao Cao quickly, it's too late! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Bao picked up the messenger and said: "You go back quickly and tell Tao Gong, just say that I will definitely bring heavy troops to arrive, and I hope he will hold on well for a while." ”

"Thank you, Prime Minister! The subordinates told Tao Gong the good news. In the next retirement. After the messenger received Zhang Bao's promise, he left excitedly.

Zhang Bao then said to Chen Gong: "Military advisor, do you know how many soldiers and horses Cao Cao brought to Xuzhou?" ”

Chen Gong hugged his fists when he heard this: "According to the report of the spies, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses have a total of 60,000 horses. ”

Zhang Bao said with a straight face when he heard this: "It seems that Cao Cao is really moving!" The total number of soldiers and horses in Yanzhou is only more than 100,000, and he moved 60,000, it seems that he wants to take the entire Xuzhou in one go. ”

Hearing this, Chen Gong hugged his fists and said, "Lord, since you plan to help Tao Qian, I don't know what the lord plans to do?" Is it to take heavy troops directly to Xuzhou? Or lead troops to attack Yanzhou? ”

Zhang Bao smiled slightly when he heard this: "Of course I go to Xuzhou, if I attack Yanzhou, let's not say whether I can take the land of Yanzhou County, so I will directly offend Cao Cao to death." And when I went to Xuzhou, I was morally defensible. ”

Chen Gong nodded when he heard this: "What the lord said is reasonable, and the subordinates are willing to accompany the lord to Xuzhou." ”

Zhang Bao nodded and said, "It's okay, I ordered General Gao Ran to bring 30,000 cavalry to fight in Xuzhou with us." Ordered Su Binghe to take over the defense of Jinan County. With the remaining 10,000 horses, you only need to defend Jinan County. ”

"My subordinates are going to give orders." Chen Gong hugged his fists.

That night, Zhang Bao, together with Chen Gong and Gao Lan, rushed to Xuzhou with 30,000 cavalry and 1,500 guards of the Zhang family. Zhang Bao's army passed through the two counties of Xuzhou Lang Evil State and Donghai State all the way, and entered the administrative office of Xuzhou, where Cao Cao's army was located in Xiapi County. On the way, Zhang Bao found many places where Cao Jun committed crimes, there were dead bodies everywhere, and even the children were not spared.

When the dawn of Li Min shone on the head of Xiapi City, Zhang Bao's 30,000 cavalry appeared on the horizon with the sun.

The defenders at the head of Xiapi City, after seeing the banner from a distance, burst into thunderous cheers. And with this thunderous cheer, Cao Cao's army was also ready to defend at the first time.

When Zhang Bao's army came to Cao Cao's camp, he did not set foot in the camp, but stopped neatly. Zhang Bao rode alone to the front of the camp and said loudly: "Uncle Cao is here, and the little nephew Zhang Bao has come to visit." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he also rode out of the camp alone, and he rode a war horse and laughed at Zhang Bao: "Hahaha......, virtuous nephew!" I didn't expect to say goodbye two years ago, and today you are already the prime minister of the Han Dynasty! And I, the governor of Yanzhou, was still sealed by you. Thank you, uncle! But virtuous nephew, this Tao Qian and I have a grudge against my father for killing my father, and I brought the army here to take revenge, I don't know what you mean by bringing the army here? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Bao hugged his fists and said, "Uncle Cao, the virtuous nephew knows that you came to Xuzhou to take revenge." But it was Zhang Min who killed my Grandpa Cao, and he has been corrected by you, why do you have to be difficult for Tao Gong? And what mistake did the people of Xuzhou make, you have to kill so many innocent people of Xuzhou along the way? ”

"Hahaha...... innocent people? So what's the matter with my dad? Does he deserve it? Tao Qian is incompetent! There is no way to rule, all because of his incompetence, which led to the tragic death of my father! So I must destroy Tao Qian and govern Xuzhou on his behalf. Xuzhou should not be governed by such a sloppy person. Cao Cao roared.

Zhang Bao shook his head when he heard this: "Uncle Cao, you have now taken the two counties of Xuzhou Langye and Donghai, killed Zhang Min, and killed so many people in Xuzhou, so your anger should also be dissipated." For my nephew's sake, please take your troops! ”

"Impossible! Zhang Bao, what would you do if your father Zhang Fei was killed? I'm afraid you're a hundred times more fierce than me! Let me let Tao Qian go, that's impossible! Don't waste any more time! You came to Xuzhou just because I was worried that after I occupied Xuzhou, I would form a pincer attack on your Qingzhou, you are the real villain, do you want to fish in troubled waters again? Do you think I'm Dong Zhuo? Cao Cao immediately turned his face and said.

Seeing this, Zhang Bao shook his head slightly: "Since Uncle Cao is unwilling to give the little nephew this thin face, the little nephew can only be offended!" The whole army is ready to enter Xiapi City! ”

"Kill! ……”

With a huge shouting of killing, Gao Ran led the army directly to the camp of Cao Cao's army. Cao Cao knew that Zhang Bao had no intention of fighting at this time, so he deliberately let go of a passage for Zhang Bao's army to pass.

The two armies seemed to be glued together, but they staggered without causing many casualties. Tao Qian, who was at the head of the city, saw Zhang Bao's army rushing to the city, and hurriedly opened the city gate to welcome Zhang Bao's army into the city.
