“……”

As the flag gradually fell, the people who were still shouting loudly suddenly became dumbfounded, and for a while, the entire battlefield turned from a loud voice to a silence.

No one thought that Tai Shi Ci really had such exquisite archery skills, and everyone was dumbfounded for a while.

"Haha......ha Good archery! Good archery! That Kong Wenju is only a person who likes to be literary and elegant, what if General Taishi takes refuge in me? I will wait for it. ”

At this time, Cao Cao laughed, and then praised it even more.

"Thank you General Cao, Ci and General Dao are different from each other. I wonder if the general's previous bet can be Cigna? ”

Tai Shi Ci said as soon as he arched his hand, and there was no trace of arrogance in his expression.

"Since I can shoot down the banner of our army, then this battle can be regarded as my defeat!"

Cao Cao smiled very casually, in fact, he also noticed that as his banner fell, his morale had unconsciously dropped a lot, and the momentum of 'I am invincible' had been cut by half when the war began.

"But if I am to retreat, there is one more thing that must be done to me. Tao Qian is a plan to harm my father, even if I can't capture him alive, I will never let him get better, so Kong Wenju can be Xuzhou Mu, but he can no longer give up the position of Xuzhou Mu to the Tao family. At this point, I also wrote to the imperial court and recognized Kong Wenju's position as the pastor of Xuzhou. Once this is recognized, I will retire! ”

"Good! I should tell you about this matter, Brother Mengde, this time I have a crime, I hope that in the future, I can join hands with my brother to fight against foreign races, help the Han family, and protect my Han country! ”

Wei Tao already understood. Cao Cao had obviously given up the idea of capturing Xiapi and taking Xuzhou in one fell swoop, so after saying a few words to Cao Cao, he returned to Xiapi.

As soon as I returned to the city. Wei Tao immediately ordered someone to spread the news.

"That's how it can solve Xuzhou's predicament!"

After hearing Wei Tao's explanation, Kong Rong was very surprised, knowing that he had also used to show Cao Cao with letters, but Cao Cao ignored it at all.

"Huh...... That's it, but it is to let Mr. Wenju not return the position to the Tao family for the time being, and wait until Xuzhou has the strength to resist Cao Cao in the future, and then he can decide himself. ”

Xun You said with a smile. Although Kong Rong is a great Confucian gentleman, he is actually not pedantic, so he naturally understands what Xun You meant. However, Kong Rong was still a little reluctant to break his oath.

"Wenju, the people of Xuzhou are finally safe now, don't be uneasy, if you really want to do what you say. Then please also be as Mr. Gongda said. ”

Tao Qian naturally had nothing to do in such a situation. Although he said with a smile, his smile was a little reluctant.

"So ......"

Kong Rong frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he finally spoke.

"I will write to the imperial court and say that Tao Gongzi will inherit Xuzhou, and at the same time, I am going to appoint Tao Gongzi as the Taishou of Xiapi and take charge of Xiapi affairs."

Obviously, Kong Rong meant that he would not get involved in the power of Xuzhou, listening to this. That Tao Qian couldn't help but get up and bow.

"Wenju is like this, the Tao family can't repay it!"

"This is originally Wenju, sorry for the Tao family. Tao Zhijun is so concerned? ”

Kong Rong hurriedly helped Tao Qian up, so that at least on the surface, the restoration of peace in Xuzhou at this time was just around the corner.

"I don't know how Mr. Lu Dao Wenju is going to treat General Taishi Ziyi, if it weren't for General Taishi shooting down the Cao Junjun banner with an arrow this time, I'm afraid Cao Cao wouldn't have retreated so easily."

At this time, Wei Tao just opened his mouth to speak, of course, Wei Tao's words were a little wrong, in fact, Wei Tao already understood that no matter whether there was Xun You's bet or not, I am afraid that Cao Cao would be thinking about retreating.

"This ...... Ziyi, I will appoint you as the captain of Jianyi, how about guarding Xiapi? ”

Kong Rong thought about it for a while and said directly, this position is basically equivalent to replacing the original Cao Bao's position in Xuzhou.

"This ......"

But what is surprising is that Tai Shici actually said after hesitating for a while.

"Don't hide it from my lord, some time ago, Yuzhang Taishou Liu Xuan was in the same county as me, and he made someone call me to be like-minded, and I should do it, but I felt the kindness of the adult, so I first came to help, and then I went to Yuzhang to be like-minded, and now the adult has appointed me as the captain, and it is difficult to decide."

Wei Tao had also tried to win over Tai Shici before, and although he felt Wei Tao's sincerity, he also replied with this remark.

However, compared to Kong Rong, Tai Shi Ci's refusal was much more resolute, after all, Kong Rong had a great favor to him.

"The general's words are wrong, not to mention that Mr. Wenju values the general, just because Wenju has been kind to the general. What's more, Yu Zhang is far away, so how can he serve his mother at home? It's better to stay in Xuzhou, and then bring your mother here, one is the kindness of Mr. Wenju, and the other is to serve the mother at home, how can it be? ”

At this moment, Wei Tao said to Tai Shi Ci with a smile, but every word was said that Tai Shi Ci was sweating profusely, and he immediately got up and bowed to Wei Tao.

"Thank you for reminding the general, Ci is almost for great unfilial piety!"

After thanking Wei Tao, Tai Shici turned around and saluted Kong Rong again.

"Thank you for your kindness, your lordship will remember your mother's kindness and kindness, and you will definitely die in the future to repay your lord!"

"Good! Good! Ziyi invited, and in the future, the military of Xuzhou will be handed over to Ziyi. ”

Although Kong Rong is a scribe and does not attach much importance to martial artists, he is a little sincerely happy for a person like Tai Shici who is very filial to his mother.

"Gongda, can you tell me why you want to help Taishi Ziyi join Kong Rong?"

After the banquet, Wei Tao immediately found Xun You, if Xun You hadn't asked Wei Tao to do this, with Wei Tao's attention to Tai Shici, he would only try his best to win over, not help him so much.

With Kong Rong's kindness to Tai Shi Ci, the chance of trying to win over Tai Shi Ci in the future is slim.

"I understand the lord's expectations for General Ziyi, but the lord wants to see it, I wonder if the lord of the Dao can think that the character of the ether Shi Ziyi will change his way and agree with the lord?"

Xun You smiled slightly, and asked without hurrying.

"It's very difficult. I don't have the kindness of Ziyi to him, it's hard to change it, if not, I don't want to value Ziyi so much. ”

Wei Tao replied without hesitation.

"What does the lord think that Kong Wenju can do as the pastor of Xuzhou?"

Xun You smiled again and asked again.

"It's not mediocre, although I see that Kong Wenju has a great name, but he is heavy on literature and light on martial arts, if it is peaceful, it will naturally be fine, once there is a change, I am afraid that he is helpless like Tao Qian. Even if a good general like Ziyi is obtained, I am afraid it will not be of great use. ”

Wei Tao shook his head slightly, thought about it, and said very simply.

"If Mr. Gongda means anything, please say it directly."

"Although Cao Cao temporarily retreated, he was not unintentional about Xuzhou, if he was to defend Xuzhou by Kong Rong alone, I am afraid that he would inevitably be easily taken away by Cao Cao in the future, but with Taishi Ziyi, it is different."

Xun You smiled slightly, and finally did not continue to sell Guanzi.

"And it's not just that, as the lord said, the lord and Taishi Ziyi have no kindness, at most, the Chinese side is the one who understands this war, but now there is no mention of it? If Kong Rong can't defend Xuzhou one day, what will Taishi Ziyi do at that time? Must vote for the lord also! ”

"Huh...... It turns out that this is what Gongda did. ”

Wei Tao also understood, but he couldn't help but say something.

"But then Liu Miao also invited Ziyi, won't Ziyi go to him?"

"The lord is a true hero in the world, and he will definitely be Xu Yi's high position. And that Liu Xuan, the clan relatives of the Han family, but since he didn't invite an unknown person to come, would it still be impossible to invite him repeatedly? This time, Taishi Zi is not righteous, and he will definitely provoke the secret hatred in his heart, even if he throws himself in, he will not be accepted by him. ”

Xun You really had no last resort, and Tai Shici was already calculated by him unconsciously.

"Gong Daguo is my confidant."

Wei Tao couldn't help but exclaim, but after the praise, Wei Tao still felt a pity.

"I only gained a little reputation when I came to Xuzhou, even if I gave Taishi Ziyi some affection, it was just that, but I lost a lot of elites because of it. Gongda, shouldn't I come this time? Even that Cao Cao is naturally 'Zhilu Dao can't become a fat man in one bite', if he didn't want to weaken Xuzhou, and even defeat the essence, qi, and spirit of Xuzhou's soldiers, I'm afraid he wouldn't fight with me, right? ”

"The lord guessed the same, but if it is said that there is no gain, it is not necessarily."

Hearing Wei Tao's words, Xun You shook his head.

"The next thing is when the lord is harvest, even if it is not as good as Cao Mengde, it will not be much different, otherwise how would Gong Jin and I let the lord spend so much time in this Xuzhou land."

"Oh? Is that so? ”

Wei Tao was also very surprised, but Xun You shook his head and didn't want to say anything about Wei Tao's desire to explore, and Wei Tao could only reluctantly let it go, anyway, with Xun You's temperament, it would not be any disadvantage to himself.

After Cao Cao reached an agreement with Wei Tao, he had actually begun to order people to evacuate, but at this time, Cao Cao still had the upper hand, so the speed of his retreat was not unfast.

After getting the news that Cao Cao was about to retreat, the various big clans in Xuzhou City finally put their minds at ease, and even some of the big clans resumed their life of singing and dancing at night.

During this period, naturally someone came to the banquet for Wei Tao, but Wei Tao was not very interested in it, but during this period of time, Xun Yu went out frequently.

However, three days later, an invitation sent by Mi Zhu in person made Wei Tao have to think about it, according to Mi Zhu's words, he wanted to thank Wei Tao for coming to rescue Xuzhou.

Considering that the Mi family is a big family in Xuzhou after all, Wei Tao always has to give a little face, so he is naturally happy. (To be continued......)
