"Forget it, both of you are at fault in this matter, your Cao Jun secretly recruited Kong Wenju behind my back, did not let me know about it, and personally sent a messenger to contact Ying'er, which is the main reason for Ying'er's misunderstanding. As for Ying'er, although you misunderstood this because you didn't see your father's letters and messengers, it is really unreasonable for you to be so suspicious and impulsive at such a young age! I will punish you for taking out 20 catties of gold and 50 catties of silver, compensate General Cao Ren, and then apologize to General Cao Ren in person to thank you for the mistakes of the drama city! ”

For the sake of the love and respect between the daughter and the son-in-law, of course the Liu family was reluctant to really beat the son-in-law Deputy Director Tao to death on the spot, and the third prince of the great Yuan also gave the above 'severe' punishment, and ended the matter of the drama city, and our deputy director Tao was not only like the father-in-law and mother-in-law for a thousand thanks, but also obediently according to the instructions of the father-in-law Yuan Sangong, first took out the gold and silver stolen from the drama city to compensate General Cao Ren in person, and then bowed to Cao Ren in public and apologized, "General Zixiao, I should have misunderstood the matter of the return of Wenju Gong to change the banner, If the general is not angry, please also pick up the thorn and hit it a few times, as long as the general can be angry, the alliance of the three armed forces can continue, and he should be willing to receive the punishment. ”

Of course, General Cao Ren didn't really pick up the thorn strip and beat Deputy Director Tao - because General Cao Ren just wanted to chop Deputy Director Tao with a knife, but there was no way, behind Deputy Director Tao stood silently Xu Chu and Xu Huang, looking at General Cao Ren with a tigerish gaze, and several cronies and generals under the command of Yuan Sangong, Gao Lan, Han Meng, Jiang Qi and Chun Yuqiong also looked at General Cao Ren coldly.

Of course, in addition to being a good alliance leader who is fair, Da Yuan Sangong is also a good commander who is very careful and thoughtful, and pointed to Xue Yue, the messenger of Kong Rangli, the bane brought by his son-in-law, and said to General Cao Ren: "As for this culprit, Zixiao, you can also take it back and let you dispose of it." ”

Cao Ren looked at the fingers of Da Yuan Sangong, and glared viciously at Xue Yue, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, Xue Yue, who still had a whip wound on his face, was already trembling and frightened, and then was glared at by Cao Ren's murderous eyes, and suddenly he peed his crotch when he couldn't hold it, if it wasn't for the Xuzhou soldiers, he would definitely sit on the ground with a butt, but the Xuzhou soldiers didn't have any pity for the jade, and unceremoniously pushed Xue Yue in front of Cao Ren, and deliberately pushed Xue Yue vigorously to eat shit and knocked out a few front teeth, the arrogant attitude was arrogant to the extreme, and Cao Ren was blown and glared at for a while.

The hostility of the Xuzhou soldiers to the Cao army was not unseen, but even if the Great Yuan Sangong was senile, he understood that the more hostile the two strong neighbors on his southern front were, the more beneficial it would be to his position, so even if he saw it, he naturally pretended not to see it, but just ordered the troops to return to the camp, and ordered the 20,000 Xuzhou troops to be stationed in the eastern suburbs of Linzi, and then happily led his wife, daughter, son-in-law and future grandson in the daughter's belly back to the camp to celebrate. During this period, the Liu family, who was stronger than anyone else, naturally had to quietly ask Deputy Director Tao what if his daughter gave birth to a son? And when he heard Deputy Director Tao's categorical answer that he must be his son-in-law, the Liu suddenly laughed and trembled, and his attitude towards his filial son-in-law was even more affectionate.

In the evening of the same day, after the delivery of 100,000 grains, the smiling Yuan Sangong set up a family banquet in the big tent of the Chinese army to wash the dust for his daughter and son-in-law, although Cao Ren and Cheng Yu refused the kind invitation of the Great Yuan Sangong with a blue face, the three brothers of Uncle Liu were unwilling to sit with a despicable villain like Deputy Director Tao, and the vulture Yuan Tan Gongzi did not have a good face for Deputy Director Tao, but it didn't matter anymore, Da Yuan Sangong and Liu were very satisfied with the handsome and well-behaved son-in-law, and they were even more happy with the love of their daughter and son-in-law. After all, it is his own flesh and blood, and the kung fu that Deputy Director Tao has experienced in the public servant school is close to perfection, and he holds the Great Yuan Sangong without a trace, and he can't help but smile, so the atmosphere of the banquet is generally warm and pleasant, and the already intimate relationship between Deputy Director Tao and the Great Yuan Sangong has also invisibly narrowed a step closer.

"Lord Yue, please forgive the son-in-law for saying a word from the bottom of my heart, the son-in-law entered Qingzhou this time, which is really a blessing for Lord Yue. Last year, when the son-in-law conquered Huainan, he worked hard for more than half a year to take the land of the two counties, this time to conquer the two counties of Qingzhou, the opponent is still a veteran of a hundred battles like Tian Kai, the son-in-law is ready to fight for more than a year, who would have thought that the son-in-law's soldiers and horses have not yet been dispatched, Lord Yuezhang has used tens of thousands of tired divisions to break the main force of Qingzhou, and beat Tian Kai, who is famous in the north, to lose his armor and unload his armor, the main force is gone, and the army is in Linzi City in less than three months, so that the son-in-law chose the big cheap Beihai! When the son-in-law heard the news, in addition to being ashamed and inexplicable, he only hated that he was too late to send troops and failed to see the majesty of Lord Yuezhang on the battlefield. ”

Although Deputy Director Tao mentioned the Qingzhou War at the family banquet at an inopportune time, but hearing his son-in-law, who is also the master, touting himself like this, Da Yuan Sangong not only didn't mind, but also twisted his beard and said with a smile: "The virtuous son-in-law is going to praise his father-in-law again, I heard that the virtuous son-in-law has experienced a hundred battles since his debut, and he has not tasted a defeat so far, which is also very remarkable." ”

"Lord Xie Yuezhang praises falsely, but the small victories of the son-in-law dare to be compared with the victories of the father-in-law?" Deputy Director Tao thanked him very modestly, and said very sincerely: "Lord Yuezhang raised troops to fight against Dong and forced the national thief Dong Zhuo to abandon Luoyang and go to Chang'an; Break Han Fu in the south, and Jizhou will be decided in the first war! Xiding merged with the state, attacked Gongsun in the north, broke the white horse Yicong in the first battle of Jieqiao, and beat Gongsun Zhan, who was invincible in North China, and fled in embarrassment, shocked Rong Di, surrendered to the Huns, and made the barbarians outside the Saiwai dare not peep at the Central Plains for half a minute! Invincible, invincible, Han Xinbaiqi's record is still inferior by three points in front of Lord Yuezhang, and the son-in-law has fought a few small victories against the rebels and water bandits, but it is just the light of fire, how dare he compare it with the light of the moon of Lord Yue? ! ”

"Hahahaha, the virtuous son-in-law is too modest and too flattering!" Everyone loves to listen to flattery, and the arrogant Yuan Sangong is even more so, but after laughing happily, the big Yuan Sangong played with the wine glass and suddenly asked Deputy Director Tao: "Virtuous son-in-law, what is the situation with the thunderbolt car?" Why did the people on Cao Mengde's side insist that it was the virtuous son-in-law who taught Tian Kai the thief to break their thunderbolt? Is this really the case? ”

"Back to my father-in-law, my son-in-law should die, this matter is indeed my son-in-law's doing." Deputy Director Tao hurriedly left the table and knelt down, and said very frankly: "Tian Kai is kind to his son-in-law, Cao Gong and his son-in-law have a bitter enmity, the son-in-law has thought of a way to crack the thunderbolt car before, and knows that there is no thunderbolt in his father-in-law's army, whether Tian Kai can crack the thunderbolt has no effect on his father-in-law, so he secretly taught Tian Kai the method of cracking the thunderbolt car to Tian Kai, and borrowed Tian Kai's hand to take revenge on Cao Gong. ”

Da Yuan Sangong has never seen the power of the Xiangyang cannon with his own eyes, and he doesn't attach great importance to the Xiangyang cannon, so after hearing Deputy Director Tao's words, Da Yuan Sangong suddenly laughed, pointed at his son-in-law and scolded with a smile: "You little slippery head, you are now Cao Mengde's ally, and you still stab him in the back." ”

"Lord Yue's reproach is right, but this matter is also Cao Gong's injustice first." Deputy Director Tao explained without blushing: "When the son-in-law attacked Huainan on the order of his father-in-law, Cao Gong deliberately released Liu Bei's brother to Runan to embarrass the son-in-law, disturbing and threatening the son-in-law's grain road, and the son-in-law was angry before returning a tooth for a tooth. ”

"Brother-in-law, I want to ask you something for my brother." Yuan Tan Gongzi seized the opportunity to speak, and said with a gloomy face: "I heard that the thunderbolt car was the first initiative of my brother-in-law, and even the thunderbolt in Cao Gongjun's army was obtained by imitating my brother-in-law, so why didn't my brother-in-law sacrifice it to my father early?" Could it be that the brother-in-law wants to hide his secrets? ”

"Brother reproaches." Deputy Director Tao, who had been prepared, was full of shame and said with guilt: "When the younger brother first created the thunderbolt, the younger brother's father was still alive at that time, and Xuzhou and Jizhou were still enemies, so the younger brother had no ....... ”

"And then?" Yuan Tan asked: "Later, my brother-in-law and our army turned enemies into friends and became relatives, why didn't my brother-in-law give a thunderbolt to my father?" ”

"Brother, that's because Master Yue-in-law didn't ask for it." Deputy Director Tao shouted injustice: "The so-called thunderbolt is just a pile of wooden shelves, Cao Gong and Liu Bei both stole the pattern imitation from the younger brother, and Lord Yuezhang didn't ask for it, and the younger brother thought that Lord Yuezhang also had it, so he didn't dare to offer ugliness." ”

"Brother-in-law doesn't dare to be ugly? Be......? ”

Yuan Tan originally wanted to continue to accuse Deputy Director Tao of selfishness, but Yuan Sangong, who had never seen the power of the Xiangyang cannon, waved his hand to interrupt, and shouted angrily at the eldest son who was not favored: "The stone machine has been around since ancient times, just a pile of wooden shelves, does your brother-in-law have any concerns with his father?" Besides, your brother-in-law is willing to sacrifice the jade seal, red rabbit horse and 100,000 Hu military rations to his father, and he will be reluctant to have a bunch of wooden shelves? ”

"Tan'er, if you want to accuse your brother-in-law of being selfish, then Tan'er, why don't you accuse your good uncle Cao Mengde, he also has a thunderbolt, why doesn't he dedicate it to your father?" Liu also asked gloomily.

Yuan Tan was speechless, and retreated with secret hatred in his heart, and Deputy Director Tao, who had gradually grown in strength, took the initiative to bow his hand to Yuan Sangong and said: "Lord Yue, it's not that the son-in-law is arrogant, the power of the thunderbolt created by the son-in-law is actually far better than that of ordinary stone machines, and it plays a big role in the Huainan war. ”

"Okay, then it's hard work." Of course, Da Yuan Sangong would not mind the siege weapons sent by his son-in-law, and after nodding with satisfaction, Da Yuan Sangong said again: "But there is no need to worry, the virtuous son-in-law has worked hard from afar, and he can talk about it in a few days, anyway, Tian Kai has long known how to crack the thunderbolt car, and it is useless to rush to build it at this time." ”

"Xie Yuezhang." Deputy Director Tao nodded very obediently, and hurriedly took the opportunity to say: "Dare to ask Uncle Yue, I don't know how Uncle Yue plans to attack this Linzi City?" ”

"The camp has just been established, and it has not yet been decided." Da Yuan Sangong replied casually, and said: "Linzi City is the nest of Tiankai thieves, the city is high and deep, and I heard that there is a lot of grain and grass, so this attack on Linzi is afraid that it will be long-lasting, and I also want to see with my own eyes that the virtuous son-in-law will show his skills." ”

"No! Please rest assured that the son-in-law will take the lead and make every effort to capture Linzi as soon as possible for the father-in-law. Deputy Director Tao didn't even blink his eyelids and sang a promise, and then asked cautiously: "Son-in-law, please ask Lord Yuezhang again, I don't know if my father-in-law has ever considered recruiting the Tiankai thief army, so that it can surrender without a fight, and also make Yuezhang take the important town of Linzi without a single soldier?" ”

"Why haven't you thought about it?" Da Yuan Sangong replied: "I also sent an envoy to Tian Kai's army of thieves to surrender, but unfortunately the letter of surrender was torn, and the head of the envoy was also hung on the gate of Tian Kai's thief's camp. ”

"I see." Deputy Director Tao nodded, and asked cautiously, "Lord Yue, how about letting the little son-in-law come forward and give it a try?" The son-in-law has a relationship with the Tian Kai thief, and there may be some hope for the son-in-law to come forward to recruit the Tian Kai thief for his father-in-law. ”

"The friendship that my brother-in-law said refers to the incident when Tian Kai rescued Xuzhou last time, right?" Yuan Tan Gongzi said in a strange manner: "Brother-in-law is really grateful to repay him, Tian Kai's thief destroyed the book, the crime is unforgivable, and the brother-in-law still wants to recruit him again?" ”

"Shut up!" Da Yuan San shouted angrily in public, and glared at his son - Da Yuan Sangong is not old and confused, and then he is angry that Tian Kai is beheading and destroying the book, and there is hope that the important town of Linzi will go down without a fight, and Da Yuan Sangong is naturally unwilling to spend time and troops to attack the city. So after drinking the hated eldest son, Da Yuan Sangong hurriedly asked Deputy Director Tao: "How sure is the virtuous son-in-law to persuade Tian Kai's thief to surrender?" ”

"If you let your son-in-law personally go to Linzi City to persuade him to surrender, he should have a forty or fifty percent certainty." Deputy Director Tao replied: "The son-in-law did not dare to deceive his father-in-law, Tian Kai did have a good impression of the son-in-law, and the son-in-law also owed Tian Kai a lot, the previous Gongsun Chan thief listened to the instigation of the big-eared thief, and deliberately embarrassed the son-in-law, Tian Kai had reconciled in the middle, trying to reconcile the son-in-law and Gongsun Zhan, although it did not succeed, but the son-in-law owed Tian Kai a favor, so the son-in-law wanted to give it a try anyway, if it can be successful, not only can it avoid siege losses for the father-in-law, but also take the opportunity to repay Tian Kai's great kindness, and the son-in-law has the courage to do it for himself, I also hope that my father-in-law will be gracious. ”

"A virtuous son-in-law is affectionate and righteous, the grace of a drop of water, and he does not forget to repay the spring, he is really a gentleman." Da Yuan Sangong approved, and then clapped his hand: "Since the virtuous son-in-law is so affectionate and righteous, then I will also fulfill the virtuous son-in-law once, and the virtuous son-in-law will say that even if he goes to Linzi City to surrender, he can also tell the thief that Tian Kai will not only lay down his arms and surrender to the city, I will not only spare his whole family's life, but also entrust him with a heavy responsibility." ”

"Master Xie Yue." Deputy Director Tao was overjoyed, and hurriedly left the table and bowed his knees to thank him, and at the end, Deputy Director Tao said cautiously: "Lord Yue, the son-in-law has thought carefully before, and is ready to give Tian Kai two surrenders, one is that Tian Kai surrenders to his father-in-law, and listens to it under his father-in-law; The second is that Tian Kai surrendered to his son-in-law, led the army to lay down his arms and surrender in Kaicheng, and those who are willing to stay in Qingzhou will serve his father-in-law, and those who do not want to stay in Qingzhou will return to Xuzhou with his son-in-law, Tian Kai himself and his whole family will also return to Xuzhou with his son-in-law, and his son-in-law will ensure that his family has no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, I don't know if it is possible? ”

"Hehe, the virtuous son-in-law is really thoughtful for his benefactor, okay, I allow you to open these two conditions." Since Deputy Director Tao can repay Tian Kai now, he will naturally repay Yuan Sangong who is more kind to Deputy Director Tao in the future, so after listening to these two conditions of Deputy Director Tao, Da Yuan Sangong not only did not feel disgusted, but also felt that his son-in-law was affectionate and righteous.

"In the end, it's my son-in-law, and he's really angry." Liu Shi was also next to him and smiled happily.

"Father-in-law Xie, mother-in-law Xie." Deputy Director Tao thanked him for his joy, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said secretly: "Tian Qingzhou, I did my best, it's your business whether you agree or not, anyway, even if you are under Jiuquan, you can't blame me for being ruthless and unjust." ”

"Wait." Da Yuan Sangong suddenly spoke again, and said angrily: "I almost forgot a big thing, after the virtuous son-in-law arrived at Linzi City, I had to let Tian Kai thieves know that there were also conditions for my surrender - after Tian Kai's thief army surrendered, anyone and I can forgive and pardon, only one person!" Only the traitor Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, I will never forgive and pardon! Don't say it in advance, this matter must be known to Tian Kai's thief, lest after he surrenders, he will say that he has no faith in his words, and will divide the body of the traitor Zhao Yun! ”

Hearing the angry words of the eldest Yuan Sangong, Yuan Tan Gongzi's gloomy face, which was almost close to Tie Qing, finally showed a smile, a gloating smile, but unfortunately our Deputy Director Tao didn't even blink his eyelids, and immediately patted his chest and said: "Please rest assured, the son-in-law will definitely inform Tian Kai of this matter, and he will definitely persuade Tian Kai to take down the traitor of Zhao Yun and bind him to the command of his father-in-law!" ”

"Good!" Da Yuan Sangong applauded and laughed, and said: "Then I will definitely come to the front of the battle, witness the surrender of the virtuous son-in-law under the city, and wait for the good news of the virtuous son-in-law." ”

"Xie Yuezhang, my son-in-law will do his best to live up to his father-in-law's high expectations." Deputy Director Tao promised extremely beautifully, but he was secretly worried in his heart, "It's troublesome, I can't imagine that my father-in-law hates Brother Yun like this, and he actually asks for his head by name?" What can I do? Tian Kai has been able to survive until now, relying on Brother Yun sacrificing his life to save him several times, asking him to hand over Brother Yun, it seems a little difficult, right? Also, even if Tian Kai can hand over Brother Yun, what if the old man insists on killing Brother Yun? Brother Tao, my fierce general luck, why did it rot like this? ”

……………… With a full stomach of hesitation, Deputy Director Tao and the family of Yuan Sangong had a long time of grievances, and it was not until more than half of the second watch that the banquet was over, but Liu and Yuan Fang reunited after a long absence, and Liu naturally refused to let Yuan Fang return to the camp with Deputy Director Tao, saying that he would sleep with his daughter, but it was naturally safe to leave his wife with his mother-in-law, and Deputy Director Tao did not have to worry about the discoloration of the headscarf, so Deputy Director Tao also led Xu Chu and Chen Ying and other entourages away from Yuan's camp with confidence. Return to your camp outside the east gate of Linzi to rest.

On the way, Deputy Director Tao, who has not come up with a way to solve Brother Yun's problem, is inevitably preoccupied, and has always been silent, but Chen Ying, who rode side by side with Deputy Director Tao, took into account another problem, and kindly reminded Deputy Director Tao: "Lord, all kinds of signs show that Yuan Tan Gongzi is very dissatisfied with the lord, and he is also very close to the Cao thief team. borrowed Tian Kai's hand to harm the lord. ”

"Well, thank you Yuan Fang for reminding me, I'll be careful." Deputy Director Tao nodded thoughtfully, and said casually: "But it's not a big problem, although Cao Thief is good at sowing discord, but Tian Kai is different from Kong Wenju after all, Tian Kai has always had a good relationship with us in Xuzhou, and the matter of the big-eared thief has nothing to do with him, Cao Thief has been hostile to him for many years, and the Cao thief team wants to use it to sow discord against him, it is definitely not so easy." ”

"What the lord said is very true, but it is better to be careful." Chen Ying reminded again: "Even if Tian Qingzhou is not easy to be separated by Cao thieves, but there is also a Zhao Yun Zhao Zilong, Zhao Zilong is very skilled, and Ben Chu Gong named his head, if the Cao thief team deliberately informed Zhao Yun of this matter and instigated Zhao Yun to sneak attack on the city, then the lord would stand under the dangerous wall." ”

"Lord, tomorrow, please let the last general go with you to the city to surrender! Keep your husband safe! Xu Chu was also anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly volunteered to follow Deputy Director Tao to the city to surrender.

"Thank you, Zhongkang." Deputy Director Tao, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, originally planned to take Xu Chu, the human shield, to the city to surrender, but when he heard Xu Chu volunteering so much, he naturally couldn't ask for it. After nodding with a smile, Deputy Director Tao smiled again: "But it doesn't matter much, the Cao thief team has great ability, and they don't want to instigate Zhao Zilong to do such a thing, what kind ......of person is Zhao Yun, huh?!" ”

Speaking of this, Deputy Director Tao suddenly reined in the war horse, and his handsome face also showed a nervous look, and the eyeballs in a pair of mung bean eyes also turned quickly, under the light of the torch, it was like two fireflies swirling in the eyes, Xu Chu and Chen Ying were both people who had been with Deputy Director Tao for a long time, knowing Deputy Director Tao's habits, and also understanding that Deputy Director Tao must be nervously thinking about the bad idea of black smoke from the ancestral tomb of the lack of virtue, so they all restrained the war horse, and did not dare to disturb with bated breath.

Sure enough, after his eyes rolled for a long time, Deputy Director Tao really thought nervously while thinking about his surname, and asked vaguely: "Yuan Fang, I remember that your calligraphy is good, and you are good at imitating other people's handwriting, the handwriting of Liu Bei, a big-eared thief, I don't know if you still remember, can you imitate it?" ”

"Absolutely." Chen Ying said with a smile: "Have you forgotten that the first thing you should do for the lord after serving as the lord is to imitate the handwriting of the big-eared thief to cheat Mi Zhu, how can you forget such an impressive thing?" ”

"Good." Deputy Director Tao showed a wicked silver smile on his face, and then patted the horse and said: "Go, go back to the camp, Yuan Fang, you will beat the manuscript for me on the road, and give Zhao Yun an arrow book in the tone of a big-eared thief!" ”

"No, dare to ask the lord, what is the content?"

"Hehe, of course the content is ......."
