Chapter 12 Three Let Xuzhou Three
Tao Qian's move made everyone in the room change color
"Father can't" The potter stepped forward and shouted: "Father is still healthy, and although the merchant is not talented, with the assistance of General Cao and others, it may not be a big deal, so why cheap outsiders?" "It seems that the potter cares more about the state pastor than about the old father's body.
"Adults think twice" Cao Bao and Xu Tan also spoke out to dissuade them, Guan Zhang and Zhang were both angry and wanted to come forward to fight, but they were pressed down by Gao Ping.
But Tao Ying ignored it as if watching a play, Chen Si beside him, like an old monk closing his eyes slightly, as if the sky had fallen and had nothing to do with it, Chen Deng sneered slightly.
There is a problem, Gao Ping couldn't help but feel a little chill when he looked at everyone's expressions, looking at Tao Ying and the others with confidence, what are they going to do?
"Hey, Xuande, don't shirk" Tao Qian was so anxious that he shook his head and said that he stuffed the big seal into Liu Bei's arms, Liu Bei just avoided it, after this toss, Tao Qian was panting and coughed violently, and Mi Zhen hurriedly helped him lie down and rest slightly.
Gao Ping observed for a long time and speculated that Tao Qian's diseases were locked in three, one is chronic pneumonia, the other is lung combination, and it may be asthma, although the first disease is not easy to treat, but with Tao Qian's financial reputation and fame, it can also be cured if you ask a famous doctor, so it can be ruled out, the latter two diseases are incurable, young people can still carry it for a while, for an old man in his sixties, I am afraid that it is more than auspicious, it seems that Xuzhou is really going to be chaotic. And looking at the expressions of the pottery merchant and Tao Ying, it seems that they are fully prepared, as soon as Tao Qian dies, Xuzhou will inevitably be in chaos.
Cao Bao was born in Danyang, single-handedly trained the brave Danyang army, in this Xuzhou city, who can fight Cao Bao's 10,000 Danyang army, so it seems that Tao Qian died, Cao Bao will inevitably support the Tao Shang by force to succeed the state pastor, the Tao Shang is because of Cao Bao's military support to have no fear. What about Tao Ying? According to the information from Mi Zhu and Xizuo, Tao Ying is also an extremely ambitious guy, will he be willing to watch the pottery merchant take over Xuzhou? Of course not, so what does he rely on?
"Xuande is a hero in the world and has a great grace in Xuzhou, after my death, I should take over the position of state pastor" Tao Qian's voice was weak, but his spirit seemed to be much better, and he was not finished
Tao Qian suddenly said, "Ah! The ground screamed and fingered Liu Bei unwillingly fell on the collapse, a generation of heroes actually died of illness on the collapse, recalling Tao Qian's life, although there was no great merit in Xuzhou for several years, but there was no fault, the Yellow Turban suffered heavy losses in various places, but Xuzhou was almost not affected, becoming one of the richest counties in the late Han Dynasty.
"Father, father" Tao Ying shouted and pounced,
The panicked voices of "Fujun" and "Adult" came and went.
In a panic, Gao Ping caught a glimpse of Tao Qian's eyes glaring at the pottery merchant with hatred, as if he had something to say but couldn't say it anymore, doesn't hatred become steel? Seeing Tao Qian go west, Liu Bei actually cried bitterly, as if his father had died, and his true feelings made everyone present moved. The crowd persuaded them to stop.
At this time, Mi Zhu said: "Tao Fujun returned, it is really sad, but the country can not be without a monarch for a day, the family can not be without an owner for a day, before the return of the monarch, it has been clearly said that the state affairs will be entrusted to the Xuande Gong, and we should obey the will of the Fujun and assist the Xuande Duke to succeed to the position of the state pastor."
"Zizhong's words are wrong" Cao Bao immediately retorted loudly: "Although Lord Tao is gone, but his two sons are here, it is natural for the son to inherit his father's business, how can he mess up the law because of outsiders."
Xu Tan, who turned out to be slightly smaller and triangular-headed, said: "Today's eldest prince is a heroic superman, and he is also quite popular in Xuzhou, so he should succeed to the position of the state pastor" At this time, the pottery merchant had put Tao Qian's body away, and after listening to the words of the two, the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a wicked smile.
"It's not proper, it's not proper" Chen Qi, who had never spoken out, suddenly interjected: "The old man has a word, please refer to it" Because the Chen family is quite powerful in Xuzhou, and Chen Qi is very famous in Xuzhou, so the weight of his words is not light, even Tao Qian in the past also obeyed his words, Cao Bao Xu Tan looked at Chen Qi quite unfriendly, and said in his heart that you don't want to speak for the second child, but let you speak like a spring, it is a taboo to waste the long and young, and the potter will also sink his face.
Chen Jue turned a blind eye to the murderous gaze of a few people, and said slowly: "Although the old man is old and frail, he can still see and hear, and the old man has heard that Tao Fujun has made a will to give up the position of state pastor to Xuande Gong, you and others, how can you not obey" A light in his eyes swept over Liu Bei as he spoke.
Everyone never expected Chen Jue to say this, Gao Ping hurriedly looked at Mi Zhu suspiciously, could it be that Mi Zhu persuaded the Chen family? Mi Zhu shook his head lightly, so why does this old fox speak for Liu Bei, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd. Cao Bao and others even doubted whether they had heard it wrong, Chen Qi has always supported the second child, and the Cao family has been fighting openly and secretly for many years, how did he suddenly turn to support Liu Bei today, Cao Bao, who was going to refute Chen Qi by abolishing the elder and young, lost his offensive target, but then Cao Bao looked at Liu Bei who was still immersed in grief with vicious eyes, in his opinion, it was nothing more than Liu Bei used some despicable means to gain the support of the Chen family, it seems that this Liu Bei is really not simple.
At this time, Xu Tan said in a deep voice: "Chen Gong's words are wrong, although Liu Bei has a little kindness to me in Xuzhou, but after all, he is an outsider, and Tao Gong still has two sons left, how can you turn your back on the Lord and vote for others."
When the words fell, someone immediately agreed, so Chen Deng retorted again, and advocated that Liu Bei should be welcomed as the lord of Xuzhou, and people on both sides insisted on their own words and quarreled.
At this time, a figure suddenly stood up, and it was Liu Bei.
I saw Liu Bei say with an angry face: "Beiben is an outsider, so he shouldn't speak here." Although the preparation is not good, I also know that within Sanqi, the deceased is the greatest, and now Tao Gong's bones are not cold, and you are arguing here, isn't it chilling. If Liu Bei has the idea of plotting Xuzhou, the emperor will not bless, tomorrow he will lead the people to return to the north, with a clear heart" After slamming the door and leaving, everyone couldn't help but have a hot face, stunned in the hall, only Chen Qi stared at Liu Bei's eyes flashing with a complicated light, Gao Ping helplessly looked at Liu Bei's distant figure, sighed and shook his head, the pottery merchant looked at Liu Bei's distant figure with hatred, and Tao Yingze's mouth showed a sly smile.
On the same day, the whole city of Xuzhou hung filial piety, and many people in Xuzhou wept bitterly when they heard the news of Tao Qian's death.
In the pavilion, Liu Bei's eyes were red and swollen, standing silently by the window, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stood quietly on the side, Mi Zhu kept pacing back and forth, and from time to time he made a sighing sound, and looked at Liu Bei several times to stop talking, seeing that the atmosphere was too dull, Gao Ping coughed lightly and said: "Lord, the deceased is gone, looking at it today, the lord is not far away."
"Oh!" Liu Bei sighed slightly and said, "Ziqing has something to say, but it's okay to talk about it."
"Today Tao Gongxian goes, dying to Xuzhou entrusted to the lord, but the lord is benevolent and refusal, just as we discussed before, Xuzhou forces are intertwined, if you enter Xuzhou at this time, it will inevitably cause chaos, as far as the current Xuzhou city is concerned, the eldest prince Tao Shang and the army Cao Bao, Xu Tan and others are the most powerful, more than 10,000 garrisons in the city are in the hands of the two, and relatively speaking, the power of the second prince is all in the periphery, and the power in the city is weak" Gao Ping took a few steps forward and said:" However, Tao Gong's last words have pointed all the spearheads in Xuzhou at the lord, and the two sons of the Tao family are afraid that they have hated the lord to the bone, and they will want to get rid of it quickly.
"However, looking at the words and deeds of Chen Jue's father and son today, it seems that they also fully support the envoy, is the Chen family going to give up the second son and switch to make the monarch fail", Mi Zhu said
"The people of Xuzhou all praise the eldest brother, if the Chen family takes advantage of this time to return, it is also possible" Guan Yu stroked his long hair and said.
Zhang Fei shouted loudly when he heard this: "Tao Shang, Cao Bao and others are quite disrespectful to the eldest brother, so Tao Lao ...... The boss had already given Xuzhou to the eldest brother, but these two guys did everything they could to obstruct it, and when I went to capture the two, I saw who would dare." Zhang Fei originally wanted to call Tao Qian old man, but he thought that death was great, and Tao Qian was good to his eldest brother, so he temporarily changed his name to adult.
"The third brother must not be reckless, and listen to Ziqing's good plan"
"The lord must not act rashly at this time, Cao Bao and others only know that they are brave and ruthless, and they are not enough to worry about, on the other hand, Tao Ying has not said a word from beginning to end, and his heart is quite heavy, and his supporters such as Chen Qi and others are also scheming, as Ping expected, today, Chen's father and son are acting in the hall, and their original intention is to provoke the dispute between the lord and the pottery merchant, and wait until both sides are injured and sit back to collect the power of the fisherman" Gao Ping slowly analyzed the situation in front of him.
"I have no intention of Xuzhou, but the descendants of Tao Gong will be considered a great enemy?" Liu Bei said abruptly.
"Cao Bao is ruthless and vicious, Chen Qi is cunning like a fox, even if you don't want Xuzhou, I'm afraid that the two sons can't tolerate you," Mi Zhu persuaded bitterly.
Liu Bei looked at Gao Ping hesitantly and said, "What does Ziqing think it should be?"
"For this occasion, you can only outwit, not force" Gao Ping paused and said: "I expect Tao Ying, Chen Qi and others to prepare in secret, just waiting for the lord to fight with the pottery merchant, and then suddenly attack, which can not only reduce their own losses, but also stand up for righteousness by calming the chaos." If you want to take it in the end, you must first take care of it, the lord only needs to help deal with the affairs of Tao Gong, and even after the funeral of Tao Gong, it will return to Xiao Pei, as for the state pastor, you can claim to support the succession of the eldest prince Tao Shang, once the external force is eliminated, there will be a gap between the two sons of Tao Gong, Mr. Mi Zhu will then add fuel to the fire, the chaos together, people are determined, at that time the lord ascended to the heights, and the people of Xuzhou felt the benevolence of the lord, and the big thing can be determined."
