Chapter 2 The Situation in Xuzhou

Since joining Liu Bei's camp, Gao Ping has a certain understanding of the current situation in Xuzhou through Liu Bei, Jian Yong and others, and now Cao Cao's 100,000 army is attacking from time to time outside the city.

Since Liu Bei led the army into the city a few days ago, although Tao Qian was polite to Liu Bei, his subordinates did not take Liu Bei seriously, and of course, thousands of people could not attract the attention of others. is very respectful to Kong Rong and Tian Kai.

Xuzhou Pavilion Station, when Gaoping and Liu Bei were discussing how to relieve Xuzhou's predicament, a personal soldier came in quickly, "General Qiyu, General Tao will hold a banquet in the mansion tonight, invite the general to the banquet and discuss the matter of breaking the enemy."

"Got it," Liu Bei waved his hand slightly annoyed and sent people down.

"The lord doesn't seem to want to go to the banquet," Gao Ping keenly saw Liu Bei's impatience and asked.

"Alas" Liu Bei sighed and said: "Every day Shengge, but no one has a plan to break Cao, Xuzhou is rich, there are many soldiers and enough food, but he is afraid of fighting like a tiger."

"Haha" Gao Ping smiled confidently: "Cao Cao's 100,000 army is like a mustard in Ping's eyes, the lord doesn't have to worry, Ping has a plan to retreat from the enemy, although the lord can go to the banquet to his heart's content, at the time of the banquet, everything has its own peace and worries."

In the evening, Liu Bei led his subordinates to the Tao Mansion for a banquet. Xuzhou is worthy of being rich in the world, although it has experienced war for several days, it can still see its former prosperity from the many shops and luxurious manors. At the beginning of the day, the lights were lit up all over the street. Taofu is located in Zhuque Street, in the center of the whole Xuzhou, at this time in front of the door of the traffic, guests are endless, the whole Taofu is brightly lit.

Gao Ping and the others arrived at the Tao Mansion, and when the people saw Liu Bei and others, they hurriedly invited them into the mansion.

Entering the banquet hall, there were already more than a dozen people talking to each other at this time, and a round-faced rich businessman in the middle saw Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Xuande Gong is really a nobleman, every time he arrives last, he will be fined three first" This person is Mi Zhu Mi Zizhong, acquaintances meet, it is a pleasant greeting.

"Ziqing, this is Xuzhou engaged in Mi Zhu Mi Zizhong" Liu Bei for Gao Ping behind him after the introduction and said to Mi Zhu: "This is my new other department Sima Gao Ping Gao Ziqing, Ziqing is outstanding, a few days to talk, quite to teach me" Mi Zhu symbolically greeted Gao Ping and began to introduce the two behind him, a little younger and Mi Zhu is a little similar to his brother Mi Fang, the other Tsing Yi Confucian is Xuzhou don't drive Sun Qian, Sun Gongyou, thinking that both of them are Liu Bei's early right-hand men, Gao Ping couldn't help but look at the two of them a few more times.

At this time, Kong Rong and Tian Yan had already arrived, and they were talking happily with a father and son.

Everyone is a young man, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang are both from businessmen, sleek in life, and witty in speech, at this time, they are left and right, and Sun Qian is also a character who can distinguish talents, plus the three of them seem to be interested in approaching Liu Beijun and others, so everyone talked very happily, and at this time, the father and son who were originally talking to Kong Rong also came over.

Mi Zhu hurriedly introduced it, but it was Chen Gui, the head of the Chen family of the Xuzhou clan, and his son Chen Deng.

After the two sides saw the ceremony, Chen Deng said mysteriously: "I heard that Miss Tao Zhi also came to the banquet tonight, Miss Tao Zhi is one of the four recognized beauties in Xuzhou, and her medical skills are excellent, many talents in Xuzhou want to hug the beauty, but unfortunately Tao Fujun cherishes this daughter like a pearl, plus Miss Tao Zhi's vision is very high, even if the matchmaker breaks through the threshold, she has not been able to enter Miss Tao Zhi's insight, today I am fortunate to have a banquet with her, which is enough to comfort my life!" ”

"Haha, Yuanlong, your news is outdated" Mi Zhu smiled: "As far as I know, Miss Zhi has been selected for the Tianxiang List this year."

"Tianxiang List, this is true" Chen Deng exclaimed: "With Zizhong's sister-in-law Mi Fairy, we have two people in Xuzhou who have been selected for the Tianxiang List, which is really gratifying."

Although Gao Ping has been in this world for a few days, he has never heard of any Tianxiang List, so he couldn't help but whisper to Mi Zhu: "Brother Zizhong doesn't know what this Tianxiang List is......?" ”

"Ahh

"Huh"

"No, it won't"

Gao Ping's words seemed to ignite a firecracker full of exclamation points, and everyone present looked like aliens, and that look seemed to say that you are still not a man.

Chen Deng explained ambiguously: "The Tianxiang list is made by Xu Zijiang, a native of Yingchuan, Xu Zijiang's skills are unparalleled in the world, although there are many beauties in the world, there are only a dozen people on the Tianxiang list, each of whom is a peerless beauty with both national colors and talents." In addition, he also made a "heavenly list" and "earth list" for the world's ministers and generals, etc., the "heavenly list" is the meaning of taking wisdom to make up for the sky, and the "earth list" is the ranking of the fierce generals who conquer the city, all of which are convinced by the people of the world."

Without waiting for Chen Deng to continue to explain Sun Qian's interface, he said: "And I also heard that Miss Tao Zhi said that as long as anyone can solve the current crisis in Xuzhou, regardless of their status, they will marry whom, this is a good opportunity to hold the beauty!" ”

At this time, the noisy hall suddenly fell silent, and I saw a peerless beauty slowly walking in with an old man in her arms. The old man is naturally Tao Qian, the owner of this room, and the identity of the girl is naturally self-evident, she is Tao Qian's daughter Tao Zhi.

I saw her dressed in a snow-white taxi dress, her long hair was naturally pulled into a bun and fluttered behind her, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes were like Qiongxing. It's like a fairy from Yaochi descending into the world.

Gao Ping's eyes lit up, and he stared at others for twenty seconds, beauty, and it was all natural, and then looked at the people around him, and he couldn't help but sigh that he didn't expect the beauty of the Three Kingdoms to be so lethal.

At this time, Tao Qian woke everyone up with a cough

"The old decay is a mediocre person, and he has been in the position of assassin for many years without any achievements, and now he has been convicted of Cao Cao, so that the people of Xuzhou are deep in the water and fire, fortunately the princes are assisted in defending the city desperately, and there are Tian Qingzhou, Kong Beihai, Xuande Gong and other gentlemen to help, but Cao Cao is powerful, the old man has made a grand wish, if anyone can break Cao Bing, relieve the siege of Xuzhou, I will give Xuzhou away."

"Cough-cough-cough" Tao Qian coughed violently, one hand on the desk, the other hand lightly hammered his chest, Tao Zhi next to him was busy tapping his back, and it took a long time for Tao Qian to gasp and say: "The old man has been sick for a long time, and he has been overworked from defending the city recently, so I am afraid that time is running out." Cao Cao's army entered Xuzhou all the way like a bamboo, and there was no defeat. However, the day before yesterday, Xuande Gong personally risked arrows and stones, chiseled through the enemy's formation, Cao Cao's 100,000 army could not be, and the name of Xuande Gong's benevolence and righteousness spread all over the world, I decided to entrust Xuzhou to him, and I hope that Xuande will not shirk, so that I can also see if I die. ”

As soon as Tao Qian's words came out, like a time bomb, everyone in the hall was stunned, and without waiting for Liu Bei to say anything, Shi Tian, the Qingzhou assassin next to him, said: "Tao Gong's words are bad, Tao Gong should be strong, and Xuzhou is all respectful, and the two sons under their knees are heroic, even if Tao Gong is unwell for a while, he can also be handed over to the two sons to take care of, how can he let the state affairs lightly, and I hope to think about it carefully." ”

Kong Rong also said: "Now that Cao Cao's soldiers are in the city, Tao Gong has ruled Xuzhou for a long time, only under the leadership of Tao Gong, the soldiers and civilians of Xuzhou can work together to tide over the difficulties." ”

Although the two of them said sincerely, but Gao Ping felt that the words of the two were insincere, Xuzhou is rich, rich in money and food, and it is a place where soldiers must fight, and now Cao Cao has not retreated, and if Xuzhou really falls into the hands of Liu Bei, then the two of them are not busy making wedding dresses for others.
