Xiapi, Xuzhou Zhisuo, a thousand-year-old city.

The Tao family mansion, located in the east of the city, nine in and nine out of the mansion, blue bricks and red tiles, magnificent, in the past here once the door of the city, but now it has become a door can be a bird, cold as water.

As soon as Tao Qian died, Liu Bei quickly ascended to the throne, and the status of the Tao brothers plummeted, especially Liu Bei received the support of Chen Deng and the Xuzhou family, so that his position as a Xuzhou pastor was more stable, and naturally he didn't have to worry about their brothers.

At the same time, Liu Bei's people who took refuge in Xuzhou no longer cared about their Tao brothers, and some people who missed the old did not want to have too much contact with them, so as to cause Liu Bei's jealousy.

Their brother instantly became the most unpopular person in Xiapi City.

"What are you thinking about?" At this time, in the lobby of the Tao family, a scribe in Tsing Yi, with a cold face and a somewhat gloomy gaze, looked at the two brothers and said lightly.

"Mr. Li, was my father really killed by Liu Bei?" The second eldest of the Tao family, Tao Ying, was born as a military general and had a short temper.

"This is the testimony of the doctor who treated your father in the past, and it is still useful**, the evidence is already in front of you, does Tao Ergongzi still need to doubt it?" The young scribe Li Nie's eyes were very calm, and he said lightly: "Liu Bei can't do such a big thing alone, in Xuzhou, you know in your hearts that you can kill Tao Envoy Jun." ”

"Chen Deng!"

Tao Ying spat out a name from between his teeth.

"Mr. Li, we can agree to your request, but after this battle, the Tao family wants to take refuge in Jiangdong, can you agree?" Relatively speaking, the potter's son pottery merchant is much calmer, and he thinks twice about his own conditions.

Regardless of whether Tao Qian was killed by Liu Bei or not, they fell into such a situation under Liu Bei, and their resentment towards Liu Bei was enough for them to agree to cooperate with Jiangdong, but the Tao family had a special status in Xuzhou, and their brothers did not have the ability to control Xuzhou, so no matter who controlled Xuzhou, they would not have a good end.

Although the pottery merchant is not capable, he is still very sober-minded, and the Tao family can't control Xuzhou, so only Xuzhou who leaves can survive.

"Yes!"

Li Nie squinted his eyes and looked at this young man without leaving a trace, the pottery merchant was very ordinary in his eyes, if it weren't for his father being Tao Qian, he wouldn't even be in the mood to take advantage of it.

However, now he is a little impressed by this young man, this young man may not be a capable person, but at a critical time, he sticks to his heart, which is rare.

You know, nine out of ten people die in greed.

"Mr. Li, in this battle, I want to participate in it personally, and I want to kill Chen Deng with my own hands to comfort my father's soul in the sky!" Tao Ying's eyes burst with a touch of murderous intent, and he said coldly.

"Second son Tao, a battle tomorrow night will be dangerous, you are a daughter, why take the risk." Li Ne frowned and persuaded that he didn't want any accident for the Tao brothers before Lu Bu was stationed in Xiapi.

"Father's hatred is not shared, and a certain must kill Chen Deng with his own hands." Tao Ying said firmly.

"Mr. Li, Meng Yan's martial arts are extraordinary, and most of the soldiers and horses in the city now are my father's old subordinates, and many of them are thinking of the Tao family's face, if Meng Yan comes forward, they will definitely be able to turn against them." The pottery merchant's eyes flashed across with a bright light, calling Tao Ying's words, and said in a low voice.

If the Tao family wants to gain a foothold in Jiangdong, they must have some credit, and if Tao Ying can join the army in Jiangdong, at least they can save the Tao family's life.

"That's good, but you have to be careful!" When Li Ne heard this, his aura moved, his eyes lit up slightly, he forgot this point, Tao Qian was a prince after all, he had a lot of influence, and he died not long ago, although the old ministry had surrendered to Liu Bei, but more or less he would think of the face of the Tao family.

"Second Master Tao, I don't know how many old subordinates you can gather to follow you?" Ligne asked.

"My father passed away early, a certain family has only been in the army for two years, if you rely on your father's face, you may be able to make many soldiers turn against each other, but if you want Xuzhou's sons to follow you, it's only 3,000 soldiers and horses." Tao Ying groaned and said.

"Three thousand? Enough! ”

Li Nie's eyes flickered, revealing a grim smile, and said, "Second Prince Tao, after the battle tomorrow night, you take your soldiers and horses and go to Guangling immediately." ”

It is not difficult to take Guangling, but how to control Guangling, he has always been a little worried, after all, if the Jiangdong army is stationed in Guangling, it is always a little inappropriate, and at present, Jiangdong soldiers and horses are a little nervous, Jiaozhou, Chaisang, Danyang, Liaodong, all need generals to guard, it is difficult to draw soldiers and horses to the north, if there is Tao Ying, Jiangdong wants to control Guangling, it should not be difficult.

——————————————————————

Late at night, people are quiet.

The north gate of Xiapi City, after being quiet again, suddenly creaked softly, opened little by little, above the city tower, dozens of strong men stirred the winch vigorously, and the jack gate of the city gate was slowly raised.

"Today, Jiuyuan Lu Bu heard about the difficulties of Tao Zhijun, avenged Tao Zhijun, killed Liu Bei's villain, helped the world of Xuzhou, reported to the Son of Heaven, and protected the dawn! Kill! ”

Outside the city, thousands of troops emerged, among the army, more than a thousand torches suddenly lit up, red, the sky of Xiapi reflected red, a general, a horse as red as blood in the hand of the BMW in the hand of the heavenly painting halberd, a horse at the moment, the first to rush into the city of Xiapi.

"And the state iron horse, kill!"

Thousands of iron horsemen rode straight in, and the vast sound of horses' hooves knocked the ground of Xiapi like thunder, and the violent sound of knocking knocked out the entire Xiapi City.

"Who's coming?"

In the camp, Zhang Fei, who drank a little wine and was a little confused, suddenly became shocked, stretched out his hand and picked up a snake spear, and rushed out of the camp.

"Enemy attack?"

"Who is it?"

"Cao Jun?"

At this time, the entire camp was already in a panic, and thousands of Danyang elite soldiers were a little confused, and quickly walked out of the camp tent.

"Third general, it's not good, Lu Bu, who was originally stationed in Xiaopei, has rebelled, and he has led his troops to attack Xiapi City." In less than half an hour, a soldier with a cloak and blood stains hurriedly came to report.

"Damn the three-surnamed house slave, my brother kindly took him in, and he dared to take revenge, and a certain family did not forgive him!"

Zhang Fei's black eyes like a copper drum were furious, he turned over a horse on his body, and shouted: "Sons, kill the enemy with a certain family, and stick to Xiapi for the lord!" ”

"Three generals, no!"

At this time, Chen Deng came in a hurry, his white clothes were messy, his hair was scattered, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull out Zhang Fei's war horse, and said loudly: "Three generals, the city has been lost, the Tao brothers have rebelled, Cao Bao has surrendered, and the two camps in the east and west of the city have surrendered, Lu Bu has now gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the general is only a few thousand, not his enemy, he needs to keep his useful body and join the lord." ”

This battle came too fiercely, the Tao family brothers, Cao Bao, and many Tao Qian's old subordinates rebelled overnight, even the Chen family, the first family of Xiapi, could not react, if it weren't for his father Chen Qi to keep a hand, the Chen family would probably be killed by Tao Ying.

Since he followed Liu Bei, he could only follow to the end.

"What?"

When Zhang Fei heard this, his eyes glared at the boss, his body was cold, he gritted his teeth, he was irritable, he was drunk, but he was obedient to his brother Liu Bei, and his brother handed over Xiapi to him to guard, but now, he lost Xiapi.

"Three generals, let's break through, go to Xiaqiu, first meet the lord of Yuzhou, and then wait for the opportunity to recapture Xiapi." A young man, dressed in armor, rode on a group of high-headed horses, and slowly walked up, with a handsome face, looking calm and calm, and mentioning the way.

"Uncle Zhi, you break through on your own, if you lose Xiapi, Xuzhou will definitely not report it, why don't you have the face to see your brother again, you have to defend Xiapi to the death, and fight to the death with the three sex slaves!" Zhang Fei was determined to live and die, and gently raised the Zhangba snake spear in his hand, his whole body exuded a cold aura, and the murderous aura was like a blade.

"Three generals, in the eyes of the lord, the general is more important than Xuzhou, Xuzhou is gone, we can still recapture it, if the three generals are lost, how can we face the lord."

The young man frowned, said coldly, and then took out a token in his arms, and said: "This is handed over by the lord before, seeing the order is like seeing a person, a certain order, the whole army breaks through." ”

Liu Bei is familiar with Zhang Fei's character, irritable, impulsive, and difficult to think will cause trouble, and Zhang Fei will not listen to anyone except for his words, so before Liu Bei left Xiapi, just in case, he gave this token to his calm henchman Chen Zhi, and let Chen Zhi look at Zhang Fei.

……………………

After a night of chaotic fighting, when the sun rose again, Xuzhou changed hands for the second time.
