"Huh!" Zhou Chen interrupted: "Na, I didn't say that, I suspect that my subordinates are not a good habit!" ”

Then he continued: "But Zhang Min's speed is too slow, shouldn't Cao Jugao return after arriving in Yanzhou?" Why haven't you come back yet? Didn't you encounter some strong enemy? Tao Gong should be careful of the safety of your huge friend! ”

After listening to Zhou Chen's words, Tao Qian only felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted, and there was only one thought in his mind - Xuzhou, it's over!

"Lord!" Mi Zhu on the side saw that Tao Qian's face was getting worse and worse, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"Nothing!" Tao Qian wiped the remaining blood from the corner of his mouth, waved his hand, stood up with his other hand on the ground, and bowed to Zhou Chen: "The general must not have come here this time just to tell me about Zhang Min, and ask the king to save me Xuzhou!" If Cao Cao can return to the army, he is willing to sacrifice Xuzhou! ”

Tao Qian's tone was sincere, and Dian Wei and Pei Yuanqing, who were standing on the side, couldn't help but be moved.

Zhou Chen secretly scolded the old fox, in this case, he was weak in Xuzhou, not only to bear Cao Cao's anger, but also to be pressured by public opinion. The four major families of Xuzhou control the three worlds of Xuzhou's military, political and business worlds, Tao Qian is planning in the back, and he will not be able to hold it for a long time even if he gains it, and when the time comes, the losses will outweigh the losses.

Tao Gong laughed, how could Chen do such a thing to take advantage of people's authority? I will definitely make this matter clear to Meng De, please rest assured! Zhou Chen pretended to be comforted.

"Thank you very much for that." Tao Qian bowed again. His body swayed, as if a gust of wind could blow him. However, except for Zhou Chen, no one noticed the light that flashed between his bright eyes.

And Yanzhou, which is adjacent to Xuzhou, is also not calm.

Cao Cao was defeated by Yuan Shao, and was just making peace with Cao Renbu, and was preparing to attack Zhang Liao and regain lost territory.

Zhang Liao's place is located on the edge of Yanzhou, just a stone's throw from Xuzhou.

"Report !!" A herald ordered the soldiers to rush into Cao Cao's tent.

"What's the flustery?" Cao Cao was in a good mood at this time, took a lot of advantage from Yuan Shao, and smashed Zhu Jun's forces in Yingchuan, Chenliu and other places, and was preparing for the final battle to unify Yanzhou!

"My lord, it's not good! The old man was killed on the way here! The herald gasped as he spoke.

When Cao Cao heard this, he suddenly stood up: "What did you say?" What happened to me, my father? His words trembled, and he almost couldn't finish his words.

The herald looked at Cao Cao, who was on the verge of rage, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva secretly, and said, "Master, he was killed!" ”

Hearing this sentence clearly, Cao Cao's whole soul seemed to be lost all at once. Cao Song, the status in Cao Cao's heart is quite high, and no one can replace him! But such an important person died for so long? Cao Cao's heart suddenly became cold.

Cao Cao, who can say that he would rather bear the words of the people of the world and teach the people of the world to bear my words, is obviously not like ordinary people, and he will collapse when he suffers a blow, and his only thought at this time is revenge!

"Who is the one who killed my father?" In an instant, the aura on Cao Cao's body has undergone earth-shaking changes, if he was compared to a fierce tiger who chooses people to devour, now he is a lone wolf, his gloomy eyes are staring at the prey tightly, once he shoots, he is bound to move like thunder!

Calm, wise, angry, all kinds of emotions are intertwined, that is, Cao Mengde in this state is the most terrifying!

The temperature in the tent dropped suddenly, and even the few generals present did not dare to squeak, even if they made a little movement, no one knew what kind of thing Cao Cao would do in this situation!

"The killer is Xuzhou Zhang Min! This is "

"That's it! Say no more! As soon as the herald said a word, Cao Cao forcibly interrupted: "Xuzhou! Within a month, I'm going to leave it without any grass! ”

"The whole army obeys the order!" Cao Cao's face was gloomy, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Cao Ren led the men and horses of the headquarters to continue to deal with the enemy, Wen Ruo led 10,000 elite soldiers to stay in the rear, and the others followed me to take revenge, if I didn't kill Tao Qian, I wouldn't return to the army!" ”

Xun Yu wanted to speak and stopped, looked at Cao Cao's face at this moment, and finally did not speak.

After that, Cao Cao had 100,000 troops and 3,000 cavalry, and rushed to Xuzhou!

Xuzhou, Taofu.

"I don't know how many soldiers and horses the virtuous brother has prepared this time? Probably coping with the war? Mi Zhu heard that Cao Cao was coming to attack Xuzhou, and he was also in chaos for a while, so he could only pin his hopes on Zhou Chen.

Tao Qian also pricked up his ears, it was best if he could not move his soldiers and horses, otherwise he would retreat from Cao Cao, and Xuzhou would also have to suffer a lot of vitality.

"Tao Qian didn't know that Qingzhou was not peaceful at this time. The yellow scarves are in turmoil, bandits are numerous, and the people are miserable! With a wry smile, he continued: "Tens of thousands of soldiers in our army have been dispatched to conquer and suppress bandits in various places, and there are no more soldiers to call!" ”

After that, he sighed and shook his head, looking "I'm helpless".

"Don't be stingy, it's a matter of life and death for millions of people in Xuzhou, don't be a child's play!"

"What Zizhong said is that the people of Xuzhou will look at the general!"

With Tao Qian's cleverness, how could he not hear the prevarication between Zhou Chen's words? It is still possible to say that there are Yellow Turbans in other places, after all, the Yellow Turban Sect is all over the world, and the time required to eliminate it is not short!

But what is Qingzhou? Yellow Turban Base Camp! Zhou Chen himself is a yellow scarf! As the umbrella of the yellow scarf, who in the world does not know? How can there be a large number of Yellow Turban bandits?

After pretending to be silent for a long time, Zhou Chen said: "Cao Mengde's soldiers are all elite, and the cost of our army's labor expedition is this."

"Brother Xian, don't worry, this military budget will be handed over to my Mi family!" Mi Zhu also heard the meaning of Zhou Chen's words.

Zhou Chen came all the way to Xuzhou to report the news, if he didn't get any benefits, it would be suspicious, but now the explanation is reasonable, and it is a lot of money to think about this military expenditure.

As one of the four major families in Xuzhou, the Mi family is based in Xuzhou, if Xuzhou is lost, the blow to the family will be devastating! Mi Zhu naturally can't stay out of the matter.

Zhou Chen nodded with a smile, "In this way, our army can send 3,000 elites to help Xuzhou!" ”

"Three thousand?" Tao Qian was a little uneasy, and after glancing at Mi Zhu, he thought about the combat power of An Le's spearmen, and hesitated for a moment before agreeing: "In this case, our army can be responsible for food, which is definitely enough for three thousand elites to eat!" ”

"No, no, no!!" Zhou Chen shook his head and said: "Our sergeants and soldiers are all elites, and after cooperating with each other, it is not a problem to be one as ten, and the military expenditure is at least this amount!" As he spoke, Zhou Chen stretched out three fingers.

"Three thousand stones?" Tao Qian asked. This price is still affordable, the war will not last long, and there should be no problem with the heritage of Xuzhou.

Zhou Chen continued to shake his head, sighed, and slowly spit out a sentence: "I want three thousand leather armor and three thousand good broadswords!" ”
