Deputy Director Tao and Boss Cao actually have a lot of similarities, the same annihilation and danger, the same brutal and lustful, the same free and uninhibited, disgusted with useless red tape, so after the Cao and Tao families were really determined to abandon their previous suspicions and join forces, Deputy Director Tao and Boss Cao simply didn't bother to write a covenant between them, let alone any blood for the alliance and the sacrifice of the three animals, it was directly a high-five oath and a verbal agreement.

Holding hostages who must not give up on each other, putting an end to the possibility of sneak attacks by both sides without declaring war, and exchanging hostages back first when it is really necessary to do it, is a gentleman's agreement between Deputy Director Tao and Cao Boss, a despicable villain, and it is also the basis for mutual trust and cooperation between Tao and Cao's two armies.

After finalizing this agreement, Deputy Director Tao and Boss Cao broke up on the day of the meeting, Boss Cao took Guo Jia and Xiahou Yuan and other original team members back to Xuchang, and Deputy Director Tao took Cao Ang and Xiahou Juan's mother and daughter back to Xuzhou -- Boss Cao also took Xiahou Juan as his adopted daughter extremely scoundrelly, and promised to give Deputy Director Tao a partial house after Xiahou Juan was thirteen years old, so as to strengthen the ties between the two Cao and Tao families, and by the way, he also fulfilled a long-standing wish of his father-in-law, Deputy Director Tao, his nemesis -- to be a son-in-law to Boss Cao.

"Brother Ying, after returning to Xuzhou, I will explain the situation to my brother clearly, and then ask my brother to go to Xuchang to accompany him, it may take a little time, but please rest assured that Chen Zhi and Xu Huang's team will immediately withdraw from Yanzhou." This is an apologetic explanation from Deputy Director Tao, who is not well prepared.

"Don't worry, I can trust the envoy, although the king's clever plans are endless, but it has always been true to his word, and he has made a promise." This is Boss Cao's free and easy reply.

In order to deceive more people for the convenience of demolition and relocation, Deputy Director Tao has indeed always paid attention to his reputation, so after returning to Xuzhou, the first thing Deputy Director Tao did was to visit his brother, and reported to Tao Shang with tears that he had promised to hand over his brother as a hostage to Boss Cao, and kowtowed to his brother to apologize in order to apologize, but Deputy Director Tao's good brother Tao Shang is indeed a kind person, after hearing his brother explain that Boss Cao had sent his eldest son Cao Ang to Xuzhou as a hostage, he immediately said with a smile: "Cao Ang is the same generation as you and my brother, he is not afraid of danger and can come to Xuzhou as a hostage, can he still lose to him for his brother? The virtuous brother doesn't have to be embarrassed, just go to Xuchang for the brother, and the brother has long thought of bowing before the Son of Heaven and doing my Tao's courtesy. ”

With the support of a reasonable and good brother, a series of earth-shattering news soon broke out between the two armies of Deputy Director Tao and Boss Cao, who had fought to the death, one more amazing than the other, and one more unbelievable. First of all, the Xuzhou army took the initiative to withdraw from Yanzhou, unconditionally withdrew from the captured Yanzhou land, and then the two sides jointly reduced the border garrison, Xiaopei and Hulu two cities, which had stationed heavy troops on both sides, also opened border markets outside the city, allowing the people of Xuyan and Yanzhou to travel freely and trade at will, and also canceled the poll tax and carriage tax of passing merchants, and the excise tax was also uniformly stipulated as the lowest thirty taxes in this era, which not only made the people and businessmen of Xuyan and Yanzhou cheer, but also made Xiaopei and Hulu quickly prosperous and rich.

The next shocking news is that Cao Boss made a mistake in medicine, and even killed his father's enemy Tao Qian's son Tao Shang as the imperial historian, and summoned the pottery merchant to the court as an official in the honor of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, so that the pottery merchant became the first three important ministers of the old Tao family, and the pottery merchant himself was also gladly obeyed in the surprised eyes of the people of Xu Yan, and led his wife and children to Xuchang to enter the court to serve. At the same time, only a few people with a heart know another important situation, in fact, before this, Cao Ang, the eldest son and sister-in-law of Boss Cao, had inexplicably run to Xuzhou, and was appointed by Deputy Director Tao as the minister of Pengcheng, and gave Chen Deng a hand to help act Pengcheng's government affairs.

By the way, during this period, Cao Boss and Cao Ang also got an unexpected surprise, that is, Deputy Director Tao did not hesitate to let Cao Ang participate in Pengcheng Tuntian affairs, and also let Cao Ang contact the five counties of Xuzhou in the agricultural magic weapon of wheat bean interplanting and earthworm farming, as a hostage, Cao Ang was very cautious to ask to avoid these secrets, Deputy Director Tao also said more generously: "It's okay, I learned to take it back to Yanzhou, I engage in wheat bean interplanting and earthworm farming for the benefit of the people of the world, not for selfishness, If these grain income methods can help the people of Yanzhou, it will also fulfill one of my wishes. Cao Ang gave his hand to Deputy Director Tao again and again, and admired this brother who was only one year older than him.

More shocking news is still to come, when the pottery merchant arrived in Xuchang to be named the imperial doctor, the first thing he did was to take office for his brother Xuzhou Mu Tao should be on the table, impeachment of the six crimes of the thief Liu Bei, and asked Emperor Han Xian to issue an edict to order the princes of the world to crusade against Liu Bei, and also asked Liu Biao, who took in Liu Bei, to hand over this thief and traitor, and escort him to Xuchang to be tortured and beheaded, otherwise he would be guilty of the same crime as Liu Bei!

Should have gone to Xuzhou to enjoy happiness, but because of Uncle Liu's halfway interception, he came to Xuchang to suffer a loss, everything was at the mercy of Cao Boss like a puppet, Emperor Han Xian's heart was naturally a long time ago to hate the cheap uncle half to death, this meeting with the long-cherished virtuous and loyal minister Deputy Director Tao on the table of impeachment, and saw that Cao Boss also echoed the major charges of Uncle Liu Huang, 'implored' to issue an edict to the thief, Emperor Han Xian also rarely said a heartfelt edict once, in the name of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, ordered the princes of the world to raise troops to crusade against Uncle Liu!

With the fig leaf of Emperor Han Xian's holy decree, Deputy Director Tao rarely straightened his waist in front of his father-in-law, Yuan Sangong, and spoke, when Yuan Sangong sent an envoy to condemn his private retreat from Yanzhou, Deputy Director Tao immediately took out the edict of Emperor Han Xian as a shield, and insisted that he was to support Cao Laoda's crusade against the national thief Liu Bei, so he withdrew from Yanzhou without asking his father-in-law, in fact, he did not have a rebellious heart against his father-in-law's will.

In addition, Deputy Director Tao naturally had to explain the reason to his father-in-law, and counted the crimes of Uncle Liu Huang who repeatedly colluded with Xuzhou to rebel and attempt to annex Xuzhou, betrayed Boss Cao's evil deeds, and colluded with the Yellow Turban thieves to enter Kou Huainan's atrocities, as well as the bestiality of colluding with Gongsun Zan and the thieves to plot misdeeds, and strongly persuaded his father-in-law to restrain his brother-in-law Yuan Tan, and ordered the Jizhou army to withdraw from Yanzhou, so as to support Boss Cao's crusade against Uncle Liu, cut off the iron-clad wings of this Gongsun Zhan, and prevent Uncle Liu from threatening the interests of Lord Yue. Although Uncle Liu Huang can threaten Jizhou in Nanyang, this sentence is a bit outrageous, but our Deputy Director Tao still said it shamelessly.

It is conceivable that after Yuan Sangong, who has not yet had Alzheimer's disease, learned the news of the exchange of hostages between Cao Boss and Deputy Director Tao, and saw Deputy Director Tao's shameless letter to the extreme, how the anger in his chest would rise, in short, after tearing the letter to pieces in three strokes, Yuan Sangong lifted the case in front of him more than a foot high, but Yuan Sangong still refused to relieve his anger, and jumped up and roared like thunder, "Ungrateful little brute!" Eun will take revenge on the little bastard! Cheeky dog stuff! The old man is really blind, how could he marry his daughter to you, an unfilial dog?! ”

"Lord, it's time for you to see Tao Ying's thief clearly, right?" Mr. Guo Tu of Yuan Tan Gongzi's party naturally would not let go of this opportunity to beat the water dog, and immediately stood up and fanned the flames and said: "Tao Ying has repeatedly flattered the thief in front of the lord before, but he wants to take advantage of the lord's prestige to shelter him, and he actually has no respect for the lord in his heart, and now his wings are stiff, so he will not take the lord in his eyes immediately, if the lord does not severely punish this ungrateful thief, I am afraid that the princes of the world will be like the pottery thief, and they will not take the lord in their eyes." ”

"Shameless puppeteer, cunning thief, I swear to kill you! I swear to kill you! Da Yuan Sangong roared angrily again, "Send troops!" Immediately send troops to Xuzhou! Arrest this shameless thief for me, cut it with a thousand knives, and put him to death! ”

This time, Yuan Shanggongzi and the judge, Feng Ji and others didn't dare to say anything, and they all buried their heads in their arms, for fear that the big Yuan Sangong would remember the past and settle the old accounts, but Xun Chen, who had instigated the big Yuan Sangong to drive Tao Cao's two families to merge with each other, stood up, and said very easily: "The lord and please calm his anger, Tao Ying's move is just unwilling to consume each other with Cao thief's fire, although there is also disrespect for the lord, but the original intention is only to protect himself, this is human nature, not surprising." The lord also asked to take a break from the wrath of the thunder, and not to act impulsively, and to act cautiously with a light sword and a waste of national strength. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Guo Tu pretended to be surprised and asked: "The pottery thief is disrespectful to the lord, and the lord sends troops to fight and severely punish his crimes, how can it be regarded as acting impulsively?" And how is it an empty waste of national strength? ”

"Mr. Gongze insists on persuading the lord to send troops?" Xun Chen asked unceremoniously, and said with a sneer: "If Mr. Gongze insists on this, then Chen does not object, but I just ask Mr. Gongze, the main force of the lord has already gone north to Youzhou, and now he is going to send troops to Xuzhou to capture the pottery thief, where do the soldiers come from?" Where does the food come from? Could it be that Mr. Gong Ze has the ability to spread beans into soldiers, and if he scatters a handful of beans out, he can conjure thousands of soldiers and horses for the lord? ”

Guo Tu was speechless for a while, but quickly retorted: "It is true that the main force of our army has indeed gone north, but our army still has a certain number of soldiers and horses on the southern front, and it can still capture some Xuzhou cities as a foothold for attacking the entire territory of Xuzhou. ”

"If Mr. Gongze wants the two thieves of Cao Tao to unite more closely and work together to fight against the lord, then just do it." Xun Chen said coldly: "Cao Ying, Tao Ying and the two thieves used to be incompatible, the reason why they abandoned their previous suspicions and worked together is because they are afraid of consuming each other's strength and letting our army sit and reap the benefits, and even if they join forces when the main force of our army goes south in the future, they will not be able to compete with our army, so they exchange hostages and work together, if Mr. Gong Ze persuades the lord to send troops to attack the Tao thief, then these two thieves will have no choice but to unite more tightly, collude deeper, and join forces to fight against the lord's army!" ”

"My lord, Mr. Youruo is right." Tian Feng also stood up and persuaded: "Tao Ying and Cao Ying, the two thieves have a deep grudge, and abandoning the previous suspicion and joining forces to cooperate is just a fear of the threat of the lord, and they are forced to work together to protect themselves. ”

"Mr. Tian Feng and Mr. Xun Chen are reasonable." Fu Zhu also persuaded: "Tao Cao's two thieves look like each other and are incomparable, the lord is sending troops to fight at this moment, and the new alliance of the two thieves will definitely join hands to fight against our army, it is better to be patient for the time being, try to break away from the alliance of the two thieves, so that the two thieves hate each other, the alliance collapses, and then it is not too late to break each other." ”

Da Yuan Sangong's ears are notoriously soft, plus Gongsun Zhan's hundred-legged insect is dead and not stiff, and the black mountain thief Zhang Yan has also recently had some signs of clowning jumping off the beam again, and he is currently unable to put the main force into the southern front, so after listening to the persuasion of these right-hand men to stop, Da Yuan Sangong inevitably hesitated, and the previous anger began to dissipate.

It's a pity that there are still a few sworn enemies of Deputy Director Tao present, in order to seize this opportunity to make Da Yuan Sangong and Deputy Director Tao completely turn their faces into enemies, Xin Ping stood up again, and said to Da Yuan Sangong: "My lord, what Mr. Fu Zhu said is extremely true, Tao Ying and Cao Ying, the two thieves are inseparable and deceitful, and the alliance they concluded is completely vulnerable, and it can be easily cracked. ”

"According to the comment, the lord might as well order the eldest prince to collect troops from Mount Tai and move the division to attack Langya, then the Cao thief must be relieved to see the lord and the master class master, and dare not offend the lord Tianwei again, even if the Tao Ying thief asks for help from the Cao thief, the Cao thief will inevitably refuse to send troops to help, so that the so-called alliance of the two thieves of Tao Cao is also a bird."

"Lord, Mr. Xin Ping's plan is very good." Guo Tu took the opportunity to agitate: "The lord ordered the eldest prince to attack Langya, and the pottery thief will ask Cao thief for help, with Cao thief's selfishness, he will definitely refuse to send troops to help, and the alliance of the two thieves will not attack itself!" ”

"Mr. Guo Tu, Mr. Xin Ping, are you crazy?" Tian Feng said angrily: "Not to mention whether the Cao thief sent troops to help, just say that the main force of the Tao thief is on the northern front at the moment, and our army attacks it with a partial division, it is also self-inflicted humiliation, and there is no chance of victory!" ”

Da Yuan Sangong's face immediately became gloomy, and he snorted heavily, "Take your own humiliation? Xuzhou soldiers and horses can also be compared with my Jizhou heroes? ”

"The lord said this very much." Guo Tu hurriedly echoed: "Xuzhou soldiers and horses have always been weak, soldiers are afraid of death will be incompetent, the battle of Fagan that year, our army only with 2,000 soldiers and horses to break more than 10,000 troops in Xuzhou, and later Cao thieves only led tens of thousands of yellow turban remnants, even broke more than 20 cities in Xuzhou, defeated the Xuzhou thief army of tens of thousands, killed the corpse of the Xuzhou thief army in the river, Surabaya for it not to flow!" And my Jizhou army is strong and strong, and the elite is ten times better than the Cao thief, how can it be easy to attack the Xuzhou thief army? One as ten? ”

"Mr. Gongze, don't talk about those old yellow calendars!" Tian Feng was even more angry, and said loudly: "The current Xuzhou army can still be compared with the Xuzhou army back then?" The trapped camp is invincible, the gentleman's army is invincible, and it has not suffered a defeat since its debut! There is also the Zang Ba team that has really belonged to the control of Xuzhou, the hometown soldier Danyang soldier of the pottery thief, which army is good to match? ”

"Why does Mr. Yuan Hao bother to grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige?" Guo Tu said with a smile: "There are only more than 700 people in the camp, and after several rotations, it is not as good as it used to be; The gentleman's army was flashy and undefeated, and it was also because they had never encountered the northern cavalry, and they specialized in bullying the enemy infantry. Most of Zangba's Langya soldiers are from Taishan in Qingzhou, and they have no loyalty to Xuzhou; Danyang soldiers are even more famous for being a single soldier and a dragon, fighting a group of insects! I don't understand, such a rabble, what is there to fear for Mr. Yuan Hao? ”

"Yes, if the Xuzhou thief army is really as strong as Mr. Yuan Hao described, then why does Tao Ying annihilate the thief still flattering the lord by any means? Just to ask the lord to come forward to protect him, and not to let the Cao thief attack him? Xin Ping also asked Tian Feng with a smile.

Tian Feng was speechless, because Tian Feng really hadn't seen the current situation of the Xuzhou army with his own eyes, and the current situation of the Xuzhou army was all based on hearsay, in fact, he didn't know much, and because of the help of good friends such as Cao Boss and Uncle Liu Huang, as well as Deputy Director Tao's deliberate low-key and the battle of Qingzhou, the Xuzhou army did not meet a strong enemy, so don't say that it is Tian Feng and Yuan Sangong, it is Deputy Director Tao's good brother-in-law Yuan Shang Yuan Sangongzi, they are not clear about what kind of situation the Xuzhou army is now? How far has it gotten to the point?

Seeing Tian Feng closed his mouth helplessly, Xin Ping smiled proudly, and deliberately shook his head and sighed and said: "It's a pity that the lord treats Tao Ying thief like a parent, and marries his beloved daughter to him, but in the end, this thief sees the sharp eyes, ignores the lord for the sake of small profits, and even dares to despise the dignity of the lord, and takes a holy decree like waste paper to perfunctory the lord's ......." ”

"Shut up, don't say anything!" Da Yuan Sangong's anger was finally provoked by Xin Ping and Guo Tu together, first interrupting Xin Ping's fanning of the flames, and then said viciously: "This ungrateful unfilial dog thing must be taught a lesson!" Tell Xiansi to withdraw from Mount Tai and lead an army of 15,000 to attack Langya, and be sure to teach Tao Ying a lesson to the thief! ”

"No!" Xin Ping and Guo Tu happily agreed.

"And." After a little calculation, Da Yuan Sangong commanded: "Send an additional 5,000 cavalry from Jizhou to Xiansi, the area of Langya is vast and sparsely populated, and there are few rivers and cities, which is suitable for cavalry combat, and let that unfilial dog thing see with his own eyes, what is the real invincible iron horse!" Let that dog thing know that his magic weapon Junzi Army is not even a fart in front of my iron horseman! ”

"Lord, I'm afraid the timing is not right to send troops at this time, right?" Xun Chen had the courage to persuade: "The alliance between Tao Cao and the two thieves may not be reliable, if the lord can disintegrate it without blood, it is better than sending troops directly a hundred times." ”

"I have made up my mind, don't say more!" Da Yuan Sangong waved his hand angrily and said angrily: "If you don't beat this unfilial dog thing, he won't be obedient!" ”
