Suppress the rebellion, wipe out the remnants, and purge the remnants...... As with most rebellions in history, everything went smoothly. By the time everything was over, it was already the middle of the night.

None of this was done with Wang Yu's intervention.

In fact, his 500 elite cavalry did not play much role in street fighting in unfamiliar places, as long as he did not move, he could pose a great threat to the rebels in the city, thus speeding up the suppression of the rebellion.

According to Wang Yu's intentions, he was going to camp outside the city and wait for dawn before entering the city. Don't be afraid of anything else, Tao Qian's physical condition is a big problem, in this matter, Zhang Ning will not, and there is no reason to deceive him.

But Tao Qian insisted that he enter the city, not only to enter the city, but also to put on a posture of talking all night, which made Wang Yu very worried.

"Tao Gong, it's so late today, and it's been so long, you better rest first." Wang Yu persuaded.

"Hehe, Pengju, you don't have to worry too much, your body knows by yourself, every time the old man sees your majestic appearance, he is happy, and this body seems to be a few years younger."

Tao Qian smiled, took Wang Yu's hand, looked up and down, and then looked at the group of heroes behind Wang Yu, and said with interest: "These are the rising stars of the hussars, right?" Let the old man guess...... This silver-armored silver-spear must be Changshan Zhao Zilong, who beheaded Cao Ren and punished the ugly, right? ”

"Don't dare, Zhao Yun has seen Tao Gong." Zhao Yun hugged his fist and saluted, long before he was put into Wang Yu's command, Zhao Yun knew something about Tao Qian, the old man had been a assassin in Youzhou, and the border pass had been quiet in those years, so he enjoyed a very good reputation in the border area.

"Okay, okay." Tao Qian didn't say much, patted the back of Zhao Yun's hand. looked at Wei Yan: "This general must be the Yiyang Wei Chang who lifted the jack gate, right?" Sure enough, the ears of the tiger and wolf are ...... These two should be distinguished guests from Jingzhou, right? The disciples of Jia and Tian Yuanhao will definitely be blue in the future......"

He casually commented that he actually told everyone's identities and deeds word for word, and even Wang Yu was a little surprised.

"Tao Gong, ...... you are"

"Hehe, I won't tell you, the old man knows everything about Qingzhou. It was that Captain Li before. Later, it was the little girl of the Zhang family, and the old man asked them about the characters in Qingzhou when he was fine, so he naturally knew better. It's a bit troublesome to match the information with people, but although the old man is old, he is not confused. No, one of them is not mistaken, right? ”

Tao Qian smiled and said, his face was full of red light, not at all like a mournful and dying old man, but like a child showing off his proud achievements.

The more this happened, the more frightened Wang Yu became. The words 'back to the light' have been circling in his heart. But there's not much that can be done. Even if he has the power to pull out mountains and destroy the sea, he can't help the natural laws of birth, old age, sickness and death.

With a hint of reminiscence, Tao Qian said with emotion: "When the old man was young. I longed to be on the battlefield, when the old man was fourteen years old, and he led a group of naughty boys in the countryside, carrying a rag as a battle flag. Riding a bamboo horse and frolicking...... When you were in Mengjin, Pengju, you were fourteen years old, right? ”

"My nephew was fifteen years old at that time."

"Almost. Almost. ”

Tao Qian waved his hand disapprovingly, and continued: "When the old man first heard about your achievements in Mengjin, he was still a little unconvinced. But the sour jujube that time, Brother Bo Jue was squeezed by everyone, you stepped forward and said a few words proudly, the old man's eyes lit up at that time, thinking, I have one more pillar of the Han Dynasty...... No, the old man's eyesight is still good, right? ”

"That's nature." I don't know if I'm too excited, or a little confused, what Tao Qian said is a little unfocused, and after saying the same thing for a while, Wang Yu is also a little confused, I don't know whether to be modest, or what to say anything else, I can only vaguely agree.

"Come on, let's talk...... The old man doesn't have as many delicacies here as Gaotang, but the cooks have also gone to Gaotang to learn, so it should be too much worse. With no point in his emotion, Tao Qian invited everyone to sit down and ordered a banquet.

Zhao Yun and the others are all smart people, and by now, they have somewhat felt that strange atmosphere, and they are a little at a loss for a while, so they can only look at Wang Yu and wait for him to give instructions.

Wang Yu looked at Tao Qian's eager expression, knowing that he couldn't refuse, he sighed secretly in his heart, and nodded slightly.

His own body knew that the old man was probably hinting to himself that he would not be able to make it through tonight. Rather than forcibly let him rest according to the old man's wishes, it is better to obey his wishes and enjoy this last night.

Although it was nearly midnight, there were so many things in the city, and there were not many people who could sleep peacefully, and there were also many people in the Assassin's Mansion, so they were soon well prepared, and the dishes and wine were delivered like water.

Wang Yu took a look at it, it was really similar to the popular way of eating in Gaotang, and even his newly developed stir-fried dishes had several kinds. In particular, the plate of oyster sauce lettuce is not much worse than the star chefs of later generations, and the green lettuce leaves are shiny, which makes people move their appetite at a glance.

"I'm in such a hurry, I'm hungry, don't worry about the old man, just eat." Tao Qian smiled kindly, his expression was like looking at a full house of children and grandchildren.

Hungry indeed. Rushing all the way in such a hurry, and there was only dry food to gnaw on the road, Leng Ding saw a table of dishes full of color and flavor, who could not be hungry?

Anyway, looking at it like this, if you don't eat all the things, Lao Tao won't get to the point, Wang Yu took the lead, and the chopsticks flew like flying, and the wind swept away the clouds and ate them.

The speed at which the generals ate was not slow, and most of the dishes on the table were quickly gone, and General Wang Yu was full for eight minutes, and at this moment, Tao Qian spoke.

"Pengju, what do you think of Xuzhou at the moment?"

Wang Yu slowly put down his chopsticks, his brows furrowed slightly.

Now Xuzhou has become a pot of porridge, and the forces directly or indirectly involved have reached an outrageous level, and almost all the princes who are a little bit involved are involved.

But obviously, the answer Tao Qian wanted to hear was not this.

In a sense, from the moment Tao Qian sent an invitation to himself through Zhang Ning's mouth, the old man had already been arranging for tonight's meeting. Of course, his purpose is not to hold a banquet, but to explain the future, in addition to the ruined Xuzhou, the old man wants to hand over to himself, and there is sustenance.

That's right, it's sustenance.

Whether it is the attention to Qingzhou characters or the imitation of Qingzhou in terms of life, Tao Qian seems to be quite happy to substitute himself as a part of Qingzhou. Except for situations like dreams, Wang Yu couldn't think of other possibilities.

Now that he asks about his disposal of Xuzhou, he must also want to confirm it with himself, right?

Thinking like this, Wang Yu slowly spoke: "Xuzhou is very chaotic now, but there is no context to follow, and the root cause is the strength of my hussars...... On the one hand, Yuan Highway and other princes had the need to expand their territory, and on the other hand, they did not want to see our army continue to grow; Chen Hanyu and other local tyrants are afraid that Qingzhou's new policy will affect them; On the other side of Xiapi, it's ......"

"Fear of losing the position of power that I have now." Tao Qian took over the conversation, and then sighed: "The son is fierce, in fact, what's wrong with being a happy rich man?" I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world! ”

"It's also that the little nephew is not thoughtful."

Tao Qian waved his hand: "I don't blame you, I don't blame you, the old man wants to hold out for a few more years, at least until you completely pacify Hebei...... Alas, fate is not up to man, and it is unthinkable. ”

Sighing again, Tao Qian suddenly changed his words and asked: "Pengju, do you know why the old man is willing to risk the ridicule of the world, the dissatisfaction of Xuzhou, and has always been willing to be a vassal of Qingzhou?" ”

Wang Yu was stunned, he had thought about this question, but he never thought too deeply, who let Tao Qiansan's allusions to Xuzhou impress him too deeply? Since even Xuzhou Foundation is willing to let in, it seems logical to let other things.

In fact, political alliances are often very unreliable. In history, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were also a pair of good friends at first, but later the friends turned against each other, didn't they fight a vigorous battle of Guandu? The Sun-Wu alliance in the post-Three Kingdoms era was also very weak, and it was too late for the two sides to guard against each other, so where would they be so dedicated to supporting?

The previous let the army fall is fine, Qing and Xu are next to each other! According to the international practice of long-distance and close attack, unless they jointly face a strong enemy that is difficult to confront and want the Qingzhou army to take the lead and be cannon fodder, Xuzhougen has no reason to support Qingzhou.

Even Gongsun Zhan, in the early days of the Hebei War, was contemptuous and wary of Wang Yu, and Yuan Shu kept making small movements, and finally simply tore his face. has been doing his best, regardless of gains and losses, and only Tao Qian has supported Wang Yu.

Thinking about it carefully, Wang Yu felt that the conclusions he had reached earlier were really too hasty, and Tao Qian didn't look like an idealist no matter how he looked at it.

He said a little sluggishly: "Tao Gong's love, Yu ......"

"Actually, the old man saw the future of the big man in you!" Tao Qian's words were amazing, and Wei Yan, who was stuffy and eating wildly, was frightened, and almost choked.

"Why did Tao Gong say this?" Wang Yu was surprised inexplicably, many of the policies he implemented in Qingzhou, even the shogunate's assistants and his own father did not understand, how could Tao Qian suddenly come to such a sentence? What's more, when Tao Qian first conceded the army, he didn't have time to govern or anything, just fought a few battles.

Tao Qian said: "Pengju, what do you think is the root cause of the decline of the Han Dynasty?" ”

"Yes...... Gate valves? Wang Yu said uncertainly, the core idea of Qingzhou's new policy is to eliminate the influence of the family's gate valve, and the others are set up around this core, which he can't hide if he wants to.

Tao Qian's face flashed red, and he said loudly: "Yes, it's the gate valve!" Gate valve is a great harm in the world! ”
