Chapter 178: Tao Qian's Last Moments

Lacking virtue and doing too much is the end - Tao Qian, who has a bad heart, finally fell ill from a serious illness to a serious illness, and he was bedridden, and he was about to swallow his breath when he saw it, but his posthumous affairs were not finished, so he still maintained a trace of life; From the perspective of a person in power, Tao Qianzhi is not a good monarch because of his great talent and self-righteousness; From the perspective of a person's character, Tao Qian is insidious, hypocritical, and not a good person; However, it is undeniable that he is a good father!

He knows very well that his three sons, Tao Shang and Tao Ying, are not resourceful people, Tao Yi is still young, only thirteen or fourteen years old this year, ignorant and ignorant, and he will not be much better in the future, Tao Qian knows that he will eventually attract Cao Cao's crazy revenge because of his temporary actions! Cao Cao, the tiger and wolf in the world! I don't have these three sons anymore, I'm afraid that I will die and have no place to die! So he didn't dare to close his eyes until now; After careful consideration, Tao Qian finally made a move, and he sent someone to invite Liu Bei, who was stranded in Beihai, to enter Xuzhou! After Tao Qian's observation, he thought that Liu Bei was still more kind to others, and he cherished his reputation, as long as he used some means, Liu Bei would protect his three sons, and he would let them live well!

Liu Bei's subordinates also have peerless generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, who have a strong guarantee in terms of force, and are undoubtedly the best candidates; If you are cooperating with the support of the local family in Xuzhou, it may be possible to keep Xuzhou, maybe it is okay

In the end, the family of Xuzhou also needs to be beaten, and so is his son, Tao Qian decided to convene Wenwu for a final meeting!

Tao Qian was half-lying and said with difficulty: "Because of my thoughts, provoke Cao Cao, a strong enemy, he will retaliate sooner or later!" Not only for revenge, Xuzhou itself is also coveted by him! I could almost have predicted what was coming! Hi ——! It is my Tao Qian incompetence that tired the people of Xuzhou to suffer, and now, my deadline is approaching, and I have summoned you to come today, but I have something to explain to you. ”

Tao Qian gasped for a while, an unhealthy flush appeared on his pale face, and there was also a hint of brilliance in his eyes, obviously it was really about to come soon.

Tao Qian's three sons, Tao Shang and Tao Ying, immediately raised their ears, the old man's illness has reached the present, but the heir has not yet been established, as Tao Qian's biological son, Tao Qian and Tao Ying are concerned, I am afraid that it is not the old man's illness, but the belonging of Xuzhou! And the youngest son, Tao Yi, just cried softly

"I, Tao Qian, can gain a foothold in Xuzhou, and I really rely on the help of the ministers here!" Tao Qian's sudden refreshment made the people present more worried and nervous; God knows if Tao Qian will go crazy and purge his sons so that they can stabilize their position! Hearing Tao Qian say this at this moment, everyone hurriedly said: "Don't dare, the lord is in love." ”

"The world says that I Tao Qian has the wealth of Xuzhou's elite soldiers and sufficient food, but he can't tolerate the help of strong generals and good strategies, so he didn't go in, and he guarded a corner of Xuzhou in vain, but he was just a dog who guarded the household! I admit this sentence, I'm older, and I don't want to toss anymore! However, with the geographical location of Xuzhou bordering Yuan Shao in the north, Yuan Shu in the south, and Cao Cao in the west, the enemy is ring-fed! How to develop? ”

"Don't talk about outward development, it's also very difficult to keep Xuzhou, and Xuzhou needs a person with courage, vision and resourcefulness to call the shots!" , Tao Qian simply ignored the eager gaze of his two sons and said lightly.

"What does the lord mean?" As soon as Chen Deng heard Tao Qian's words, he already knew that Old Man Tao was going to die without being shocked! There must be another plan! At the same time, he was also deeply sad in his heart, and the sadness came from the fact that these families were just tools for Tao Qian to rule Xuzhou, and they had never been trusted by him!

"Welcome Liu Bei to Xuzhou!" , Tao Qian's eyes burst into the light of *essence!

"Father ......", "Liu Bei is just a mat weaver and a peddler"; As soon as Tao Qian's words fell, his two sons, Tao Shang and Tao Ying, couldn't sit still any longer, and jumped up on their seats and shouted; They originally thought that Tao Qian would entrust Xuzhou to one of them, but they didn't expect it

"Bastard, sit down!" , Although Tao Qian is old, Yu Wei is still there, seeing that his two sons are so brainless and don't understand their own hard work, he suddenly became angry and angry, and scolded. However, with this anger, the already weak body became more and more weak, his face turned pale, and he coughed again and again.

"The two sons, sit down quickly, don't make the lord angry again, the two sons are also the best Xuzhou, don't look too much to your heart, take care of your body is the most important thing!" , Mi Zhu hurriedly persuaded out.

"Yes, my lord, my body is important, it's better to put out my anger for a while!" The general Cao Bao also chimed in; "Hey, unscrupulous things, do you think that if Xuzhou is handed over to you, you will be able to keep Xuzhou?" Tao Qian let out a long sigh, calmed down his anger, and then continued: "Rebel son, you two are not good at humanities and martial arts, do you think you are better than your father?" Wei Father still thinks that he can't keep Xuzhou in the hands of a strong enemy! You"

"Father, but ......," Tao Ying exclaimed unwillingly.

"But what? Are you unwilling to give away the rich Xuzhou? You only see the present, but you don't see the aftermath! Take a long-term view! Got it? Yuan Shao! Yuan Shu! Which of the three Cao Cao is easy to deal with? What do you say? Tao Qian was about to be angry, these two sons are really angry!

"Father, but we still have 200,000 soldiers and horses! There are tens of millions of money and food! Just keep to the door......" said the potter cowardly.

"Hehe", Tao Qian stroked his head and sighed, shook his head and smiled, he was laughed at angrily!

"Even a little Wei Hong and Wei Wangcai have such courage! And Xu Chu, you've seen it too! Not to mention that even Yuan Shu was beaten and lost his armor, and the embarrassed Li Yu and Xiahou Dan! There are also Xiahou Yuan, Dian Wei, and Hua Xiong! Cheng Yu, Cao Ren and others who are guarding Mount Tai are eyeing them! I really don't know what you think? Is it okay to have more soldiers? ”

"Look at Cao Cao's every victory, it is an example of winning more with less! This is still the weakest of the three enemies! Let's take a look at the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu! If you want to live in peace, listen to me! I am your father! Can it hurt you? Tao Qian said earnestly; Tao Shang and Tao Ying bowed their heads and remained silent, which was regarded as acquiescing in Tao Qian's decision; "Yi'er! Come here! At the last moment, Tao Qian beckoned his little son to his side, touched his cheek dotingly, Tao Qian's face was several times, and finally a mouthful of blood spurted out: "Mi Zhu!" Don't forget my explanation! ”

At this point, Tao Qian passed away
