Tao Hu's words were very cold, Chen Gong knew that it must have been Fang Cai's words that made him unhappy, so he hurriedly apologized to him and said: "Fang Cai is abrupt, only complaining about the troubles in the next two days, don't blame the general!" ”

Chen Gong was already apologizing, although Tao Hu was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, but with Zhao Yun's instructions, it was inconvenient for him to leave seriously, so he turned to Chen Gong and said: "The last general is just following the order of General Zhao to send wolf dung here." If the military advisor doesn't want it, the last general will have to bring it back! ”

"General Zhao is kind, how dare you not receive it?" Lu Bu has already discussed peace talks with Cheng Yu, and Chen Gong also knows that if it goes on like this, it will not be long before Xuzhou will fall into the hands of Cao Cao, although the Qin army does not directly support it at the moment, and sends wolf dung, and then the wolf smoke will be lit, after all, there is still one more way to live, where will he refuse, and said to Tao Hu: "General Lao came in person, and he will definitely thank you in the future!" ”

After staring at Chen Gong for a while, Tao Hu put his hand into his arms, took out a small cloth bag and handed it to him and said, "Wolf dung is scarce, except for the beacon tower, it is rarely used in marching and fighting. Our army's reserves are not much, and the military division should be cautious in using them. ”

Taking the cloth bag with both hands, Chen Gong didn't open it to check it, and said to Tao Hu: "General Zhao is kind, a certain generation of Wenhou has thanked you!" ”

"The last general will leave!" Chen Gong took the cloth bag, Tao Hu clenched his fists and arched at him, said goodbye and turned around and walked down the city wall.

Standing on the side of the battlements on this side of the city, watching Tao Hu turn over and jump on his horse, Chen Gong waved his hand at the soldiers guarding the city gate.

Looking up at the city, seeing Chen Gong waving his hand, the officers guarding the city gate hurriedly shouted to the soldiers: "Open the door!" ”

With the officer's order, the city gate slowly opened.

At the same time as the city gate was opened, Tao Hu's legs clamped the horse's belly, and the horse rushed out of the crack in the door.

The general of the Cao army, who had led more than a dozen generals with the intention of intercepting Tao Hu, was about to return to the barracks with his people, when a soldier behind him suddenly shouted: "Look, general! The gates are open again! ”

Hearing the shouts of the soldiers, the general of the Cao army hurriedly turned his head and looked towards the city gate, and sure enough, he saw a red figure rushing out of the city, running into the distance like a bolt of lightning.

"Stop him!" Seeing Tao Hu rushing out of the city, General Cao hurriedly shouted to the soldiers behind him, and took the lead in riding his horse to rush towards Tao Hu.

Seeing that General Cao rushed towards Tao Hu, more than a dozen soldiers hurriedly followed him and rushed up in a swarm.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves nearby, Tao Hu turned his head to look at the Cao general who was rushing towards him, not only did he not speed up and leave, but instead held the reins in both hands to restrain the war horse, and waited for the Cao general to arrive in place.

Tao Hu suddenly stopped the war horse, he didn't expect him to be like this Cao Jiang was stunned for a moment, and also lifted the reins, slowed down the speed of the war horse, and trotted towards Tao Hu.

"Why is this general chasing Tao?" General Cao approached, and before he could speak, Tao Hu had already taken the lead and asked, "What's the matter with the general?" You might as well speak up! ”

"Who is the general? What is the business trip to Xuzhou? I didn't expect Tao Hu to stop at the horse, and I didn't expect Tao Hu to ask questions first, so Cao Jiang was stunned for a moment, and then asked Tao Hu.

"A certain is the deputy general of the Qin Army, Tiger Benwei, Tao Hu!" His eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the Cao general, Tao Hu said in a very flat tone: "I am here specifically to crusade against Lu Bu, I heard that Cao Gong intends to negotiate peace with Lu Bu, so I went into the city to separate Lu Bu, but I didn't see it!" ”

The more Tao Hu did not shy away from saying that he entered the city to sabotage the peace talks, the more Cao Jiang did not believe it.

He looked at Tao Hu from head to toe, frowned tightly, and said to Tao Hu: "Since the general intends to sabotage the peace talks, he can't say that he will return to the barracks with him, please send Cao Gong down." ”

"Is a certain general under Cao Cao?" Cao Jiang's words fell, and Tao Hu asked him a rhetorical question.

was asked by Tao Hu like this, and Cao Jiang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously shook his head.

"A certain is not a general under Cao Cao, and this is not a Cao army barracks, so why do you want to go to Cao Ying with the general?" Staring at the Cao general, Tao Hu snorted coldly and said to him: "Is the general trying to provoke an incident between our army and the Cao army?" ”

Tao Hu's words carried a strong sense of threat, and under his continuous questions, Cao Jiang was stunned for a while and couldn't answer.

The Qin army's three guards are strong, and it has long been an open fact in the world.

As the deputy general of Qin Junhu Benwei, in General Cao's opinion, Tao Hu's martial arts must not be bad.

Not to mention that forcibly bringing Tao Hu back to the barracks will cause an uncontrollable crisis, it is only said that if Tao Hu wants to leave, it is unknown whether he and the more than ten soldiers behind him can stop him.

Seeing that General Cao was stunned on the spot and did not speak, Tao Hu held the reins in his hand, and then said to him: "If the general has nothing else to do, this general will leave!" ”

Dropping these words, Tao Hu clamped his legs towards the horse's belly, spun around the horse, and galloped away in the direction he came.

Looking at the back of Tao Hu leaving, Cao Jiang frowned, was silent for a long time before sighing lightly, and said to the soldiers behind him: "I'll wait and go back to Cao Gong to give his life!" ”

As General Cao intercepted Tao Hu, the soldiers thought that they would bring Tao Hu back to the barracks, but they didn't expect their general to do things like this. ”

"Didn't you hear the man?" As soon as the soldier's question was spoken, General Cao said with a little helplessness in his tone: "He is the deputy general of the Qin Army's Tiger Benwei, if he is just an ordinary soldier, I will capture him, and I only need Cao Gong to send people back, and this matter will have a proper result." But he is the deputy general of the Tiger Benwei, if he is captured, I'm afraid Cao Gong can't afford it! ”

Hearing General Cao's words, the soldiers didn't say anything more, and they all turned their heads with some disappointment to look at Tao Hu who was gradually moving away, and followed General Cao to the barracks slowly.

When Tao Hu was stopped by the Cao general, Chen Gong was holding the battlements with both hands and looking down at the city.

Seeing that Tao Hu was intercepted by more than a dozen Cao soldiers, Chen Gong couldn't help but feel a little worried, if Tao Hu was captured, I am afraid that the agreement to light wolf smoke when the city is broken will be known by Cao Jun, and then Qin Jun Hu Benwei will not come to the rescue in order to cause less trouble.

Although he said Liu Bian's words in front of Tao Hu, Chen Gong knew in his heart that the reason why Liu Biao helped Lu Bu was that he had long expected that Cao Cao would lead the army to Xuzhou, and wanted to use Lu Bu to delay for a while.

Liu Wei was crowned King of Qin and obtained two badly damaged territory, and Chen Gong had long expected that it was Cao Cao's intention to hinder the Qin army's southward march so that he could seize Xuzhou and attack Huainan instead.

Huainan Yuan Shu is called the emperor, has risked the world's disapproval, as the bloodline of the Han family, and is the king of Qin, Liu Wei must eradicate Yuan Shu to tell the world heroes, the Han family is still in number, and it will be recovered after all.

Not only that, Yuan Shu also killed Yang Feng, a general under Liu Wei, before becoming emperor.

In the hands of Yuan Shu, a general was folded, how could Liu Wei easily erase this matter?

Liu Wei had opened a warehouse earlier for disaster relief, and Chen Gong knew that the reason why he had not yet gone south was probably only because the army did not have enough food and grass.

As a staff member under Lu Bu, Chen Gong hoped that Liu Wei would intervene in the affairs of Xuzhou.

But if you think about it from Liu Wei's point of view, it is not the best choice to turn against Cao Cao at the moment.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Gong can understand why Liu Wei sent Hu Benwei, but Hu Benwei never launched an attack on Cao's army and relieved the siege of Xuzhou.

When Hu Benwei came to Xuzhou, he was under the banner of crusading against Lu Bu.

Both Cao Cao and Lu Bu knew that they were just talking about it, and in order to seek more benefits, Liu Wei would definitely not attack Lu Bu with Cao Cao in Xuzhou.

With Lu Bu being restrained in Xuzhou, Cao Cao crusading against Huainan has always been unstable behind it.

Liu Wei was bent on going south to Huainan, so naturally he would not let Cao Cao take the lead, and Hu Benwei came to Xuzhou and did not make trouble with Cao Cao, Cao Cao should already be very happy, not to mention expecting them to really crusade against Lu Bu.

Standing on top of the city, looking at Tao Hu who was gradually moving away, Chen Gong's brows were always tightly twisted.

Although he was not dissatisfied with Lu Bu's behavior, Lu Bu was sometimes too rigid and would not act according to his strategy in everything.

If Lu Bu had listened to what he said earlier, he would not have rescued Xiao Pei for the time being, and waited for Xiao Pei to defend for more than ten days before leading the army behind the Cao army, Xiao Pei should still be in the hands of the Xuzhou army at this time, and the whole situation would not be so passive!

Now that Cao Cao proposed peace talks, Zhao Yun had already seen that he was not sincere, but Lu Bu did not notice it at all, but instead entertained Cheng Yu and others in a big way, putting on a posture of sincere peace talks.

Every time he thought of this, Chen Gong no longer had hope of holding Xuzhou, and the only thing he could do was to remind Lu Bu to beware of Cheng Yu and others making trouble in Xuzhou City.

Tao Hu entered the city of Xuzhou and then left the city, and the generals of Cao's army, who intercepted him, soon reported the news to Cao Cao.

Knowing that the deputy general of the Qin army, Hu Benwei, had personally entered Xuzhou, but he had left the city again in an instant, Cao Cao hurriedly asked Guo Jia to invite him to his tent.

asked people to invite Guo Jia, Cao Cao didn't wait long in the tent, and Guo Jia came to the tent.

"Ming Gong!" As soon as he entered the tent, before Cao Cao could speak, Guo Jia spoke first: "I just heard that someone from the Qin army has entered Xuzhou!" ”

"Exactly!" nodded to Guo Jia, first confirming his statement, and then Cao Cao stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation to him and said: "Fengxiao and please sit down and talk, please come here for this matter!" ”

Guo Jia thanked him, and as soon as he sat down in the tent, Cao Cao said to him again: "The person who entered Xuzhou is not only the Qin army, but also the deputy general of the Qin army's tiger guard!" From Fengxiao's point of view, what will this person do when he enters Xuzhou? ”
