Tao Ying was quite happy when he heard this, and he wanted to respond, Chen Jue got up and said loudly: "No, no, whoever achieves great things will be cut down without a way, if the second son takes the lead in making trouble, then the morality will be pushed to the pottery merchant, Liu Bei and others, although this plan is good, but it is too risky, if there is an omission, the previous efforts will be wasted" After speaking, he coughed a few times, his body shook a few times, and Chen Deng hurriedly supported his father. Chen Qi knew that Zhao Yu had a bad heart, but he couldn't say anything at this time.

"This can't be, that can't work, do you want to let this son sit and wait to die" Tao Ying was obviously angry that Chen Jue's previous plan failed, and when he saw that he was obstructing it again, he said quite unceremoniously.

Chen Qi sighed secretly in his heart: Tao Qian's heroes, I don't want the two sons to be not good talents, then Zhao Yu's strategy is gorgeous on the surface, but in fact it is full of flaws, only the last retreat to Guangling may be his true heart, Guangling to Huainan is already in Yuan Shu's bag, I am afraid that Zhao Yu is going to deceive Tao Ying to Guangling and then welcome Yuan Shu into Xuzhou. Poor Tao Ying was still kept in the dark.

Chen Deng saw that his father was deflated and said: "Deng thinks that the second son must not be moved lightly in the current situation......"

Before Chen Deng finished speaking, Tao Ying interrupted impatiently: "Zhao Gong's strategy is not feasible, what good strategy do you have?" ”

"This" Chen Deng didn't think of a plan for a while, he couldn't help but be speechless, and his mind turned to electricity: "It's better to bet that Liu Bei can't hold his breath, and we will also claim to support the eldest prince to take the throne and force Liu Bei to do it."

"If Liu Bei really has no intention of Xuzhou, wouldn't he send the state pastor to the potters for nothing" Zhao Yu said in a gloomy voice, "The two of you don't see that the second son is now losing power, and he has switched to the potter."

Tao Ying couldn't help but look at Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son with a gloomy face: "You don't have to say anything, tomorrow I will go to ask my mother to act according to Zhao Gong's plan."

Chen Qi's old face was slightly red, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh. Chen Deng stared at Zhao Yu with wide eyes and indignantly, and was about to speak out, but was stopped by his father with his eyes.

On the seventh day of Tao Qian's funeral, rumors broke out in Xuzhou, and there were many discussions in the market.

"Did you hear that? When Tao Gong was dying, he had given up the state pastor to Liu Yuanjun, and the two sons did not obey"

"Yes, I also heard that Liu Bei has secretly transferred troops into the city, and he wants to enter Xuzhou with the order of Tao Gong, and said that if the two sons do not obey, they will correct the law on the spot."

"No, no, I heard that Tao Gong had made a will before his death, so that the eldest prince was in charge of military affairs and the second prince was in charge of literary affairs, and he did not give Xuzhou to Liu Beizhi at all, it was Liu Bei himself who spread rumors outside in order to seize the position of state pastor" The old man who spoke looked around to see no one and lowered his voice and said: "I also heard from a friend in the army who was on an errand that the two sons were going to capture and kill Liu Bei in the next few days, this is a secret, you must not spread it out and harm me!" ”

Rumors came and went, either that Liu Bei wanted to kill his second son, or that his second son wanted to kill Liu Bei, and the sky over Xuzhou was cloudy. In the face of the overwhelming rumors that were unfavorable to Liu Bei, Liu Bei and others were quite panicked, while Gao Ping calmly dealt with it, using Mi Zhu's manpower in Xuzhou to adopt the method of blackmailing and promoting rumors that were even more unfavorable to Liu Bei, from Liu Bei killing Tao Qian, Zhang Fei besieging Chen Mansion and arresting Chen Jue, Chen Deng's father and son, to Guan Yu's three punches to kill Cao Bao, slashing Xu Tan with a knife, and later even said that Gao Ping used witchcraft to spell the two Tao brothers to be bedridden, and so on, However, the rumors were unscathed and frequently appeared in Xuzhou City, so the rumors gradually subsided in a few days.

At the beginning of the lanterns, Xuzhou Pottery Merchant Mansion, Cao Bao, Xu Tan introduced a Tsing Yi scribe into the meeting.

"This is Mr. Cheng Yu, the prime minister of Dongping under Cao Gong's account," Xu Tan, who described the obsceneness, introduced to the pottery merchant, "Mr. Cheng has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, and he is here to help the son"

The pottery merchant saw Cheng Yu's eyes blazing, white-faced and beautiful hair, dignified appearance, standing calm and relaxed under the hall, and looking like an immortal, so he smiled and said: "I don't know Mr. Cheng's drive, I miss the distance."

Cheng Yu saw that the pottery merchant was tall, and knew that he was quite good at martial arts, so he stepped forward and said: "Cheng Yu has seen Tao Dagongzi, Yu has long heard that Tao Gong's eldest son is heroic and generous, and he is tolerant and generous, Xuzhou Cao Bao and Xu Tan are all good generals in the world. Immediately got closer to the potters. So the potter invited everyone to take a seat.

Cao Bao arched his hand and said: "Mr. Cheng praises falsely, we are all vulgar people, marching and fighting are still good, Mr. Cheng is a great talent who helps stabilize the country, how can I compare with my generation, the former murdered Cao Gong's father because of Zhang Kai's murder for money, so that Cao Gong misunderstood"

Cheng Yu laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this, this Cao Bao is really not modest, even the little yellow scarf can be defeated repeatedly, and he dares to claim that he is good at marching and fighting, but this is for the sake of getting married, he has to flatter against his will

"Tao Gongxian went, Xuzhou lost a pillar of the sky, Yu was very sad, but the country cannot be left without an owner for a day, the eldest prince is talented, why has he not inherited the position of state pastor?" Cheng Yu said in surprise.

The potter owed: "Mr. doesn't know, my father has just passed away, Liu Xuande said that he should take care of his father's affairs first, and my second brother coveted it from the side, so it was delayed."

Hahahaha Cheng Yu laughed when he heard this: "What the son said is bad, loyalty, filial piety, festival, righteousness, loyalty is the first, the son inherits the father's business, how can there be a reason to take care of the later affairs and then manage the political affairs, Yu has spent more than 50 years in the Spring and Autumn Period has not heard such strange theories, this must be Liu Bei is anxious not to try Xuzhou and delay the army."

Tao Shang and the others couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, carefully tasting Cheng Yu's words seemed to be quite reasonable, Cheng Yu quietly observed everyone's reactions and chuckled: "Besides, Yu once heard that Tao Gong had given up the position of state pastor to Liu Bei when he left, thinking that Liu Bei had wolf ambitions, and Tao Gong's last words, how could he be willing to serve the son, the son is still young, and he doesn't know the reason, and the prince is old in the accident, how can he not see that Liu Bei is harboring evil intentions?" Presumably, at this time, Liu Bei has been secretly planning, and the disaster of Gongzi and you is not far away! ”

Cao Bao's face couldn't help but heat slightly when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "I am a military person, I don't know how to strategize, Mr. Fei reminded me that I was almost deceived by Liu Bei, and I hope that Mr. will see you."

The pottery merchant's big eyes turned from time to time, and he secretly hated Liu Bei's cunning in his heart, so he got up and bowed: "My father has been guarding Xuzhou for many years, and now outsiders are bullying each other, and I wish Mr. to teach him, and Shang is grateful."

Cheng Yu hurriedly got up and bowed back: "Son, this big gift, please sit down."

After the pottery merchant took his seat, Cheng Yu smiled and said: "This matter is easy to hear, the son can convene Xuzhou civil and military deliberations in the near future, and inherit the position of state pastor on the grounds that the son inherits his father's business, and the generals Cao and Xu Er ordered the sergeants to close the four gates, and secretly transferred people to surround the government and the government. With that, he slashed down with his right hand.

The potter was overjoyed when he heard this, but suddenly hesitated: "If this is not to seize the position of state pastor by force, I am afraid that I will fall into the hands of others."

Cao Bao, Xu Tan and others also looked at Cheng Yu with puzzled eyes, in fact, Cao Bao and others also had this intention, but they were just as worried as the pottery merchant that they would not be able to convince the public, and the biggest threat Liu Bei had already expressed his mentality, so he was reluctant to do it.

Cheng Yu laughed twice and said: "The so-called big things are not informal, the princes and the losers are Kou, when the eldest prince has ascended to the high position, Liu Bei and others have become caged birds, whatever the crime is not a word from the son, as long as the matter is confidential, the truth of the matter is told by the son's cronies, who will not believe it, and who will not dare to 'frame' the prince with long eyes, and when Yu came, Cao Gong had promised that if things did not go well, Cao Gong should help him."

After hearing this, everyone praised Cheng Yu's wisdom and scheming, only Zhang Yu, who was thin and small-eyed next to him, seemed to feel that it was inappropriate, and he couldn't find out what the problem was, and suddenly said: "Cao Gong is so righteous, he plans to send troops, and he values my son-in-law very much?" Anyone with a discerning eye can understand, of course, what Zhang Yu means is whether Cao Cao wants to take Xuzhou again under the pretense of the hands of the pottery merchant, and everyone is stunned, and they all look at Cheng Yu vigilantly.
