"Should you be shot? Wounded by a stray arrow? This ......, how is this possible?! ”

Finally crossed the surging Yellow River, re-embarked on the land of Yanzhou, and was complacent and preparing for the remnants of Cao Laoda, but the first news he received was that his filial son-in-law was injured by a stray arrow during the siege of the city. Our army had just broken through Cao and crossed the river, and was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, why was Ying'er accidentally injured by a stray arrow? Alas, what a bad luck. ”

"yes? How could it be such a coincidence? Fu Zhu and Cui Yan were also surprised, and then looked at each other again, and together a thought rose in their hearts, "Really? Could it be that Tao Yuanjun deliberately deceived himself and took the opportunity to steal and play tricks? ”

"It can't be so coincidental!" Mr. Guo Tu immediately jumped out and asked Chen Zhen, who had just returned from the Xuzhou camp, "Mr. Xiaoqi, are you sure that Tao Ying is really an arrow?" Confirm that it is not a fraud? Was Mr. deceived by Tao Ying? There is such a coincidence in the world, as soon as the lord ordered him Tao Ying to send troops to cut off the retreat of the thief, he was immediately hit by a stray arrow and injured? ”

Da Yuan Sangong also cast a suspicious gaze on Chen Zhen, but Chen Zhen showed a look of great displeasure on his face, and replied in a very unhappy tone: "Mr. Gongtu, don't worry, I not only confirmed that Tao Yuanjun really hit the arrow, but also saw his injury with my own eyes, and the branch of the arrow was shot here, and there was a lot of blood, and it was almost shot in the heart, because Tao Yuanjun was seriously injured, and the Xuzhou army was still in chaos, how could this be fake?" ”

As he spoke, Chen Zhen pointed his finger at the position slightly lower on his right chest, and introduced: "I saw with my own eyes that the tributary arrow hit this position, and at that time, Tao Yuanjun's blood stained half of his body red, and he was seriously injured. If Mr. Gongtu doesn't believe me, he can send my entourage to ask, and they have also seen with their own eyes the situation of Tao Yuanjun's serious injury, as well as the chaos of the Xuzhou army. ”

In view of Chen Zhen's good reputation, Mr. Guo Tu obediently closed his mouth, Da Yuan Sangong also nodded, Fu Zhu and Cui Yan no longer doubted, but Chen Zhen, who was still angry, refused to give up, and said: "There is another point, please Mr. Gongtu to investigate, Tao Yuanjun was seriously injured first, and then received the order of the lord to send troops to cut off the retreat of Cao Thief." Also, the reason why Tao Yuanjun was injured by an arrow was also because he was worried about the battle in Cangting, and he was anxious to rush to Cangting to respond to our army's breakthrough. Tao makes the monarch's filial piety to the lord can be learned, and the moon can be proven, but Mr. Gongtu unreasonably suspects that the monarch is cheating and hurting, isn't it too much?! ”

Chen Zhen still refused to give up, Guo Tu was also furious, and when he was about to open his mouth to refute, Da Yuan Sangong waved his hand to stop Chen Zhen's aggressiveness, and said: "Mr. Xiaoqi, don't say it again, Guo Gongtu is just suspicious, and he didn't question Ying'er's intention, you just need to explain it clearly." Oh, by the way, how is Ying'er doing now? Is the injury serious? ”

"My lord, Tao Envoy Jun is seriously injured." Chen Zhen replied truthfully: "When His Majesty left the Xuzhou camp, Tao Zhijun was not out of danger, and he had been unconscious, and Lang Zhong of the Xuzhou army also introduced that Tao Zhijun was still young and strong, and if he changed to an old and weak one, he would definitely not be able to save him by shedding so much blood, but even so, whether he could rescue Tao Zhijun depends on how big Tao Yuanjun's own life is." ”

Da Yuan Sangong nodded depressedly, pursed his lips and stopped talking, and Xin Bize's eyes rolled over there, and he hurriedly stood up and said: "Lord, since Tao Envoy Jun is so seriously injured, then why doesn't the Lord send a few good doctors from our army to Wuyan to treat Tao Envoy Jun's injuries?" ”

"No." Cui Yan immediately stood up against it, and said: "Not to mention that it is impossible for the Xuzhou army to let outsiders treat Tao Zhijun's injuries, the lord sent Lang Zhong south at this time, and the Xuzhou army must also think that the lord is suspecting Tao Envoy Jun's fraud, so he sent Lang Zhong south to inspect, which will seriously deteriorate the relationship between our army and the Xuzhou army, and it is extremely unfavorable to our army's battle to destroy Cao." ”

"Although Mr. Ji Jue's words are reasonable, if he ......." Xin Bi blinked his eyes and said, "I mean, what if, if Tao Envoy Jun is really a fraud?" ”

"My lord, please resign!" Chen Zhen, who was greatly humiliated, was furious, and immediately said: "Since Mr. Xinbi does not trust me so much, I am not willing to work with Mr. Xinbi, and I also ask the lord to resign and return to the wilderness." ”

"Mr. Xinbi, if you want to split the Jixu Alliance immediately, then you can continue to instigate the lord to suspect Tao Yuanjun's injury." Frustrated Zhu was also furious and said: "The previous Fan Er and others instigated the lord to kill the Xuzhou envoy twice, which has led to the breakup of Ji and Xu, and the loss of most of Qingzhou, this time I instigated the lord to question whether Tao Envoy Jun's injury was fake, and did he want to destroy the good prospects of the battle to destroy Cao?" The great victory in the Battle of Cangting was lost? ”

"What do you mean by this?" Yuan Tan Gongzi jumped up and said angrily: "The timing of Tao Ying's injury is so coincidental, Mr. Xin Bi suspects that Tao Ying is injured, why can't he be injured?" Could it be that Mr. Gonghe saw Tao Ying's injury with his own eyes, and guaranteed that Tao Ying was not injured? ”

"Brother, did you also see with your own eyes that your brother-in-law was not injured?" Yuan Shanggongzi also jumped out and said even more angrily: "Can my brother guarantee that my brother-in-law is not injured but is just a fraud?" ”

"Shut up!"

Da Yuan Sangong roared angrily, and slapped on the table in front of him, which stopped the quarrel between the two sons and his subordinates, and then Da Yuan Sangong roared again: "What kind of system is the child fighting in the big tent?" And you Chen Xiaoqi, you are about to resign as soon as you open your mouth, do I say I don't believe your words? There are also Guo Tu and Xin Bi, the two of you, who have repeatedly questioned Ying'er's deception for no reason, completely ignoring the joint affairs of the Ji-Xu alliance, what are your intentions? ! Shut up for me, and if there is any more arguing, behead immediately! ”

Seeing that the third prince of Yuzhou had already moved his liver, Guo Tu and Xin Bi did not dare to speak, and the third prince of Yuan thought for a while and said: "In this way, let the Yuzhou assassin Shi Yinkui bring some valuable medicine to the south, go to visit Ying'er for me, let Ying'er recuperate with peace of mind, reward him for his contribution to the army, and also negotiate with the Xuzhou army on how to divide the land of Yanzhou by the way." ”

Frustrated, he asked again: "Lord, then the matter of pursuing the remnants of the Cao thief, I don't know how the lord decides?" ”

"Ying'er is seriously injured, the Xuzhou army is leaderless, and it seems that the Xuzhou army will not be able to count on help for a while." Da Yuan Sangong was a little sullen, and then waved his hand and said: "But it doesn't matter, without the help of the Xuzhou army, the strength of our army is enough to annihilate the remnants of the Cao thief!" In this way, Gao Gan led an army of 20,000 and was responsible for attacking the northern cities of Yanzhou, such as Dong'e and Jibei, and I personally led the army into Juancheng and Dongjun, first taking these two Cao thief towns, opening up direct contact with the rear of Yecheng, and then deciding how to break Cao. ”

Seeing that the three dukes of the Great Yuan were still cautious, they did not object, but bowed down and sang a promise, and then Yuan Shaojun immediately followed the order, while sending Yin Kui south to visit Deputy Director Tao's injury, the troops were divided into two routes, and the senior cadres led the army to capture the cities of Yanzhou such as Dong'e and Jibei, while the three dukes of the Great Yuan personally led the main force to the west to pursue the remnants of the Cao army who fled to Juancheng. At the same time, in private, the party of Da Yuan Sangong and Yuan Tan Gongzi naturally had to be indispensable, and they must see Deputy Director Tao's injury with their own eyes and not mention it.

Because Cao Jun's chariot team has taken the initiative to give up Dongping, and already knows the location of the Xuzhou army, Yin Kui went south very quickly this time, and it took less than two days to rush to Dongping Lu, and saw Tao Ji and Jia Lao Poison and others who were temporarily in charge of the Xuzhou army in Dongping Lu City, and also accompanied by Jia Lao Poison and Liu Ye and others, and soon saw Deputy Director Tao who was seriously injured in bed, but unfortunately Deputy Director Tao was still in a semi-coma with a lot of blood loss, and his eyes were just moaning lightly unconsciously, unable to open with Yin Kui [*** Talk, so Yin Kui only saw Deputy Director Tao's pale face after excessive blood loss, as well as the thick gauze on the wound on Deputy Director Tao's chest that faintly showed blood.

"I can't see the wound, do you ask Mr. Wenhe to untie the gauze? I'm afraid that's not good, right? ”

When Yin Kui was hesitating in his heart, the Xuzhou military doctor, who had always been by Deputy Director Tao's side, suddenly spoke, and said to Jia Lao Poison with some nervousness: "Military advisor, the lord's pulse is disordered again, and it stops from time to time. ”

Jia Lao Poison's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly touched Deputy Director Tao's pulse, and after a while, Jia Lao Poison's face was even more unsightly, and he put down Deputy Director Tao's wrist helplessly, and said in a low voice: "May God bless you and let the lord survive this hurdle." ”

"Is it serious?" Yin Kui took the opportunity to say: "Mr. Wenhe, Kui is also a little familiar with medical skills, can you ask for the pulse of the envoy?" ”

Jia Lao Poison nodded silently, Yin Kui was secretly happy in his heart, and quickly picked up Deputy Director Tao's wrist, and touched Deputy Director Tao's pulse with his middle finger, index finger and ring finger, and found that Deputy Director Tao's pulse was indeed very weak, intermittent, Yin Kui also suddenly made up his mind, and said secretly: "It's definitely not fake, anything can be pretended, but this pulse can't be pretended." ”

"Yin Envoy Jun, what do you think about my lord's injury?" Jia Lao Poison asked on the side.

"Forgive you for being incompetent, and there is nothing you can do." Yin Kui put down Deputy Director Tao's wrist, and also sighed and said, "I just hope that Tao will make Junji a natural appearance and be able to survive this hurdle." ”

Jia Lao Poison sighed silently, and only after a while did he remember to invite Yin Kui to go down to eat, and Yin Kui, who had a bottom in his heart, did not refuse, and instructed Lang Zhong to take care of Deputy Director Tao a few words, and then respectfully said goodbye and left. And after confirming that Yin Kui, Jia Lao Poison and the others had gone away, Deputy Director Tao immediately opened his eyes, and then took out a small wooden ball from under his armpit and threw it to the military doctor next to him, and ordered in a low voice: "Go to the next room to rest, and call you again if you have something." ”

The military doctor bowed down and sang a promise, and honestly went to the next room to rest, and Deputy Director Tao immediately waved to Guo Huan, the beautiful maid in the room, Guo Huan understood, twisted a few times, and then sat on the bedside of Deputy Director Tao with a blushing face, and snuggled into Deputy Director Tao's arms under the embrace of Deputy Director Tao, and said coquettishly: "It's really bad, the acting is true, even the pulse can be pretended, and the empty assassin surnamed Yin deceived the history miserably." ”

"Aren't you cheating?" Deputy Director Tao skillfully poked the devil's claws into Guo Huan's clothes, and while caressing the tender protrusions on Guo Huan's chest, he smiled and said: "If you don't deceive them, you will immediately fight me, I will die, and I will take advantage of it, and let my father-in-law take advantage of it." ”

"Unfilial." Guo Huan's spring-like fingers lightly touched Deputy Director Tao's forehead, and said with a coquettish smile: "If you let Madame know that you lied to her father like this, see how Madame cleans you up." ”

"As long as you keep it a secret for me, how can Fang'er know?" Deputy Director Tao said with a smile.

"Of course I can keep it a secret for you." Guo Huan, who had already had some reactions, moaned softly and said charmingly: "However, what reward does the lord give to the slave maid?" ”

"How about rewarding you for doing a partial house?" Deputy Director Tao smiled, the devil's claws gradually slid down, and began to swim towards the inside of Guo Huan's skirt, Guo Huan quickly clamped her legs, and said with a crimson face: "Lord, not today, you can't touch there today, the slave is popular." ”

"Won't it?" Deputy Director Tao wailed: "I finally had some time to be alone with you, and no one bothered me, why did you become popular?" ”

"Slaves and maids can't help it, maybe God doesn't give slaves and maids the opportunity to serve their lords." Guo Huan smiled shyly and coquettishly, and smiled very badly.

"Ghost girl, you laugh so badly, are you really popular or fake?" Deputy Director Tao found that the situation was wrong, and quickly stretched out his hand to forcibly check, but soon found that Guo Huan really didn't tell the truth, Deputy Director Tao was immediately furious, and while forcibly pulling Guo Huan's skirt, he said angrily: "Little girl, I'm getting bolder and bolder, even I dare to deceive?" I'm not going to teach you a lesson today, and I'll get it later? ”

"It's a report and a report." Guo Huanjiao smiled: "Didn't you trick me into crying a few days ago? Seeing you being carried back covered in blood, I was so scared that I cried for hours, who knew that you scoundrel was lying to me. ”

"I'm the lord, I can lie to you, but you can't lie to me." Deputy Director Tao arrogantly put up the master's posture, and quickly pulled the cute little girl's clothes, while Guo Huan struggled to resist and begged: "Lord, will you talk about it in the evening?" It's daytime, and someone may come to visit you at any time, and it's nothing to the slave and maid, but if the makeup on your body is damaged, there is no way to repair it immediately. ”

Considering that it is not easy to repair makeup, Deputy Director Tao reluctantly accepted Guo Huan's plea, stopped tearing his clothes, and said with a vicious expression: "It's okay to let you go, but you have to do something for me." ”

"What's the matter?" Guo Huan just wanted to be able to stabilize Deputy Director Tao for the time being, and hurriedly asked, but when Deputy Director Tao leaned over to Guo Huan's shell-like delicate little ears and whispered the request, Guo Huan's little face was also red to the base of her neck, and she said angrily: "Lord, you are so bad, you can even think of such a dirty thing." ”

"Think for yourself, or serve me obediently with your mouth, or I'll take you as a little fox right now."

Deputy Director Tao pinched Guo Huan's little face, then lay down in big words, opened her legs and looked at the little girl with a smile, Guo Huan hesitated for a long time with a red face, and was about to give in against her will, but suddenly her heart moved, and she hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Master, the slave thinks that your deception plan is very secret, and you have missed a possibility that will lead to serious consequences." ”

"Missed that possibility?" Deputy Director Tao really asked rhetorically.

"Madame's father took the opportunity to annex our army." Guo Huan replied: "The slave is a native of Jizhou, and knows that Jizhou was originally Han Fu's foundation, and the lady's father originally used a plan to capture Jizhou, and forced Han Fu to death. ”

"Hehe, this has long been expected by the lord." Deputy Director Tao smiled and said, "If Master Yuezhang thinks that I am as easy to bully as Han Fu, then he can come, I also happen to have an excuse to withdraw from the army justifiably, and let him go with Cao Thief Dog Bites Dog." ”

After finishing speaking, Deputy Director Tao pinched Guo Huan's little face again, and said with a smile: "Little girl, don't think that I will let you go if you change the topic, quickly, do what my lord asks." Guo Huan was helpless, so she had to obediently kneel between Deputy Director Tao's legs, blushing and trembling as she untied Deputy Director Tao's belt, and then glanced at Deputy Director Tao resentfully in the urging voice, only then did her cheeks slowly lower her head, and gently opened her ruddy cherry mouth............ "Actually, this little fox's reminder is also very reasonable." With his hands behind his head, while enjoying the tender service of Guo Huan's little girl, Deputy Director Tao secretly pondered in his heart, "My father-in-law has taken advantage of Jizhou, and the possibility of having the idea of annexing Xuzhou again is definitely very great, although I don't have to be afraid, but at this time, I will turn my face with my father-in-law, and it is not in line with my current strategic interests, I must think of a way to stabilize my father-in-law, let him concentrate all his strength on Cao Thief first, and then slowly find a way to kill his ......." ”

……………… In the evening, Jia Lao Poison and Liu Ye and other strategists came to Deputy Director Tao's ward, and reported to Deputy Director Tao that the Yanzhou land division request put forward by the representative of Yin Kui, and the Great Yuan Sangong agreed that the Xuzhou army would obtain the newly captured Shanyang County, but asked the Xuzhou army to give up Dongping and Jiguo Second County, which was very appetizing, but it was not unacceptable to the Xuzhou army. However, in order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the Jizhou army, Jia Lao Poison and others did not dare to agree on the spot, but only said that after Deputy Director Tao woke up, Deputy Director Yu Ming Tao would make a decision.

"You can promise that the land in Yanzhou can come step by step, and you don't need to eat too much right away." Deputy Director Tao nodded, and said: "But don't be in a hurry to agree immediately, I will continue to pretend to be injured for a period of time, and there is another major event, I don't know what will happen to the public." ”

Saying that, Deputy Director Tao gave a general introduction to Guo Huan's worries, and asked a few accomplices to give advice to him, temporarily stabilize his father-in-law and avoid turning his face immediately. Jia Lao Poison laughed when he heard this, and said: "This matter is too easy, if the lord allows, Xu and others can come forward to explain to Yuan Shao, under the pretext that the lord is too seriously injured, he may not be able to protect, Xu and so on, in case of emergency, are ready to support the lord's only son, Yuan Shao's grandson Tao Luo, as the lord of Xuzhou, and ask Yuan Shao to allow us to act according to the plan in case of emergency, and at the same time send Jizhou officials to Xuzhou with documents, and always be ready to canonize the eldest son of the lord as the pastor of Xu Yangzhou, inherit the lord's foundation, and ask the daughter of Yuan Shao, the wife of the lord's justice room, to come forward to take power. When Yuan Shao heard this, he thought that Xuzhou was within reach, and he would definitely not be in a hurry to attack Xuzhou. ”

Deputy Director Tao was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly nodded in agreement, and at that moment, Jia Lao Poison and others also acted according to the plan the next day, and collectively proposed to Yin Kui, the envoy of the Jizhou army, that he was ready to support Tao Luo, the grandson of the third prince of the Great Yuan, as the lord of Xuzhou, and asked the third prince of the Great Yuan to allow the decision-making level of Xuzhou to act in accordance with the law in case of emergency, and recognized Tao Luo as the pastor of Yangzhou in Xuzhou, allowing Yuan Fang to hold the power of Xuzhou, and also took the initiative to invite the third prince of the Great Yuan to send important ministers to Xuzhou to meet Yuan Fang first, so as to act according to the plan at any time. At the same time, Jia Lao Poison also took the opportunity to excuse Dongping to be far away from the rear of Xuzhou, the transportation of grain and grass was inconvenient, and Deputy Director Tao was too seriously injured to preside over major affairs, and asked Yuan Sangong to agree to the withdrawal of the Xuzhou army to Rencheng and Mount Tai for food.

Hearing the words of Jia Lao Poison and others, the empty head Yuzhou Thorn Shi Yin Kui was so happy that he couldn't even wait for the reply of Yanzhou's land division, and immediately returned to Yuan Shao's army as soon as possible, and reported to Yuan Sangong the injury of Deputy Director Tao and the request of Jia Lao Poison and others. And Da Yuan Sangong was also overjoyed when he heard it, and while agreeing to all the requirements of Jia Xu and others on the spot, he decided to send Feng Ji and Yin Kui to carry the documents of canonizing his grandson Tao slightly as Xu Yangzhou's pastor, and rushed to Pengcheng to meet his daughter first, just waiting for his son-in-law to breathe, and then immediately let his grandson inherit his son-in-law's family property.

"Good, good, good wound! The injury is too good! Thinking that the rich and prosperous five counties of Xuzhou would soon be at his fingertips, Da Yuan Sangong not only dispelled the idea of taking the opportunity to annex his son-in-law's team by force, but also applauded his son-in-law's serious injury, "Filial son-in-law, you can go with peace of mind, you can rest assured, your son and my grandson, I will definitely take good care of you." And my daughter, I will also let him give you peace of mind and widowhood, and will not let her remarry, so you can go as soon as possible. ”
