The world is disturbed by disputes, Cao Cao is calculating to capture Xuzhou, so Xuzhou Tao Qian doesn't know. The contradiction between Tao Qian and Cao Cao is not only today, for several months, Yanzhou has been constantly having spies into Xuzhou, although it was found out by Tao Qian's secret agents, but from the various signs that have happened in recent months, it can be seen that Cao Cao's heart to swallow Xuzhou has long been born. Tao Qian is not a fool, he can sit firmly in Xuzhou for decades, and he would have been pulled down without some means, otherwise where would the rich Xuzhou Prefecture Mu get him to sit, the whole Han, there are many people who want this throne, and in the end it is he Tao Qian who sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, by what means, by his ruthlessness, his hands are hot enough, anyone who dares to stretch out his tentacles to Xuzhou will usher in his fierce attack, when the indigenous wealthy family of Xuzhou was secretly disposed of by him, not only one family, behind his back, There is more than one political enemy who died in his hands Tao Qian, in the final analysis, to be able to mix to this level, Tao Qian's heart is not as old as it seems on the outside, the old man is in wait, and his ambitions are thousands of miles, not to mention Tao Qian.

Tao Qian did not regret killing Cao Song, not to mention how Cao Song was rude to him, just that car and car of property was enough to cause Tao Qian's murder, Cao Song's family wealth is comparable to the royal family, this is a well-known thing in the world, in order to live a third public addiction, he was stunned to spend 10,000 gold to donate a captain's position, 10,000 gold This is really a lot, some people have been officials for a lifetime and may not be able to loot it, although this Cao Song is not good as an official, but doing business, money rolling money or something, is definitely a first-class good player, that car by car treasure, It is also the reason for Tao Qian's murderous intentions, the husband is not guilty, this Cao Song is also arrogant and arrogant, thinking that he has Cao Cao's precious son, he dares to be arrogant to the boxes of treasures to the enemy's territory, and it really attracted the coveting of Tao Qian, a hungry wolf, and he deserves it.

Fortunately, although Tao Qian had the courage to offend Cao Cao, but he was not conceited enough to let Cao Cao swallow this evil breath, after killing Cao Song, Tao Qian began to invite the Quartet to help, first let the eldest son Tao Shang carry the wealth to Yuan Tan in Jizhou, falsely accusing Cao Cao of taking the opportunity to seize Xuzhou under the pretense of avenging his father, and then sent his youngest son Tao Ying to Yuan Shu's side, offering some wealth, telling the pros and cons, in order to ask Yuan Shu to send troops to help, and sent several messengers, respectively, to Jingzhou Youzhou and the major princes of the state, or to know the pros and cons, or the wealth to offer, Multi-way branches, after everything is arranged, Tao Qian's heart is greatly settled, he believes that the princes of the world will not let Cao Cao take Xuzhou, after all, Xuzhou's status is significant, if Cao Cao wins, the momentum will rise sharply, then the limelight is high and no one can control it, with this premise, Tao Qian is confident, even if Cao Cao comes to attack, Xuzhou will suffer a little rebellion at most, if it is lost, but it will not be so serious, a little rebellion, for him, where can it be compared to dozens of gold and silver treasures, and so Cao Cao retreats, But he casually gave food to those ordinary people, and those ignorant people did not bow to him and thank him, these things, for so many years, he sometimes did it easily, and he had already done it smoothly.

Tao Qian and Cao Cao's affairs, provoked the world to know, the princes of the world, for Tao Qian and Cao Cao's grievances, they know well, but they can only pretend not to know, as Tao Qian expected, Xuzhou is an important town in the Central Plains, choking the Yellow River and looking at Mount Tai, the regional location is very significant, if Cao Cao obtains, the princes of the world are not at ease, and Tao Qian is to see this clearly, this is so unscrupulous to kill his father and take away people's wealth, and the princes of the world, including Liu Biao, Yuan Tan, Gongsun Zan and others can only pinch their noses and aid Tao Qian.

And ordinary people don't think so much, Tao Qian is quite successful in governing Xuzhou, although he is hypocritical, but at least he has done a lot of practical things, and his official reputation is also excellent, and Tao Qian is also taking advantage of this, if Cao Cao plots Xuzhou, the people of Xuzhou must be a hurdle that cannot be bypassed, at this point, indeed, Cao Cao is also very jealous, under Tao Qian's special Xuancheng, the entire Xuzhou people regard Cao Cao as a tiger and wolf, on the contrary, Tao Qian, who kills people and robs money, has become an innocent victim.

Xuzhou reorganized the army for war, and Yuan Shang, who was in Bingzhou at this time, met with an envoy who claimed to be under the command of Tao Qian of Xuzhou.

This person is about two years old, young and gentle, dignified, and dressed quite well.

"Chen Deng, a small official in Xuzhou, has seen General Yuan."

Chen Deng, the word Yuanlong, when he was young, he was famous in the township, first served as the county magistrate of Dongyang County, heard by Tao Qian, made an exception and was promoted to the captain of the agricultural school, in charge of Xuzhou agriculture, and was also regarded as a young talent, and the Chen family was also regarded as a wealthy family in Xuzhou, living in Xiapi, Tao Qian had fully supported when he took office in Xuzhou, and Tao Qian also appointed a lot of Chen clan people, the most typical representative is Chen Deng.

Yuan Shang, who sat in the first place, heard this, his eyes swept over Chen Deng's face, Chen Deng is also quite famous in history, in history, after Tao Qian's death, Chen Deng Chen Gui father and son, welcomed Liu Bei into Xuzhou, but unexpectedly was occupied by Lu Bu, with a grudge in his heart, soon after, it was also the same father and son, together with Cao Cao, drove Lu Bu out of Xuzhou, and it was also a report and a report.

Under Yuan Shang's gaze, but saw that Chen Deng's face did not change, this kind of mentality made Yuan Shang quite appreciative, you must know that Lu Dao, Yuan Shang has fought for many years, hundreds of battles of all sizes, and he doesn't know how much blood Lu Dao has stained in his hands, and his body naturally exudes a chilling momentum, this Chen Deng met for the first time, but he did not move, this mentality alone is also a character, and it is not in vain that Lu Bu and others will be played by this father and son.

"Chen Deng, let's see, what kind of advice did your lord send you to me and the state?" Yuan Shang smiled indifferently.

At this moment, although Chen Deng's face is no different, his heart is like a surge, and the various circumstances after entering the state have still shocked Chen Deng's heart and cannot let go, but he didn't expect that Yuan Shang, who created the state, was so young, his brows were lightly raised, and he couldn't see the appearance of the fierce god at all, Chen Deng was the first time to see Yuan Shang, although he had heard rumors about Yuan Shang before, but he never thought that Yuan Shang was so ordinary, handsome in appearance, like an ordinary son of a family, he imagined Yuan Shang's appearance, the military general is nothing more than a burly figure, and his appearance is thick and dark, There are not many handsome people like Lu Bumachao, and those who are as white and pure as Yuan Shang are mostly strategists, such as him, who takes the scribe route, and dresses up to look elegant, which is different from the military generals wearing armor.

The surging thoughts in his heart retreated, but he saw Chen Deng bowing and saying: "General Yuan, this time Chen Deng's light visit is on the order of my lord Tao Gong, begging the general to send troops to save my Xuzhou from fire and water." ”

"Oh?" Yuan Shang chuckled: "But I don't know what disaster happened to Dao Tao Gong, it is so serious, I want my junior to send troops to save it from fire and water." ”

Of course, Yuan Shang knows the truth, but sometimes, words against his will are more useful than telling the truth.

Chen Deng's face remained unchanged, he didn't believe a word of Yuan Shang's words, Xuzhou and Yanzhou were in trouble, he didn't believe that Yuan Shang, who was the lord of the state, didn't know at all, and when he heard the words, he said patiently: "Yanzhou Cao Cao's father met me in Xuzhou, but was killed by a traitor, that Cao Cao was indiscriminate, led a strong army to press the border, Tao Gong was merciful, he couldn't bear to kill his soldiers, and invited the general to send troops to help coordinate, if he saved Xuzhou from disaster one day, I Xuzhou will definitely thank the general for his grace today." ”

When Yuan Shang heard this, his face did not move, and he said indifferently: "That's it, such an important matter, the general has to discuss it with his subordinates, you go to the Mansion Station to rest for a while, and I will give you an answer when the discussion is final." ”

When Chen Deng heard this, his face changed slightly, but he still bowed down and said, "Then Chen Deng is waiting for the general's summons in the post." ”

Yuan Shang nodded slightly, summoned the soldiers waiting outside, and ordered: "Lead the Chen envoy to the post station to rest, all the expenses of the envoy will be paid by the general's mansion, and if you want to go down, don't be lazy." ”

"Whoa."
