Tao Qian agreed to come to Shixun's wedding in person, but he had just finished up and got into the carriage, and before he went out, suddenly a cold arrow shot from behind, hitting him in the back. The old man let out an "oops" and immediately fell into the carriage.

The servants and guards immediately became in disarray, and several of them went after the Assassin, who presumably lurked on the roof of the neighbor's house in the state office and wounded Tao Qian with a powerful crossbow from a high to the bottom. It is said that Tao Qian's Danyang elite immediately blocked several nearby roads, and finally caught the assassin in the middle of the day - but unfortunately the assassin was hiding poison, and when he saw that it was difficult to escape, he took poison and committed suicide.

Although Tao Qian fell, he did not faint on the spot, and immediately instructed, blocked the news, and only said to the outside world that he was sick and could not go to the wedding, and asked his eldest grandson Cao Zhao, who had just been crowned, to drink Shixun's wedding wine on his behalf.

Immediately, the Danyang soldiers acted secretly, and soon took over the defense of the four gates of Tancheng, and secretly sent hundreds of people out of the city, and as soon as the wedding in the courtyard of the family village was over, they immediately detained the officials in the state and the representatives of several families who were with the banquet into the city to prevent changes.

According to Zhang Min, after first aid, Tao Qian's life was temporarily saved, but the injury was severe, and no one could say when he would be able to get up, or step by step towards death. Early this morning, Tao Qian sent someone to summon all the main officials in the state to the government office, which seemed to have the intention of entrusting the future. Cao Hong called Zhang Min to pick up Shixun and asked him to enter the city as much as he could-"Maybe Xuzhou will change hands, and it will be today!" ”

Is Xun Xin saying that I am just a foreigner with no fists and no courage, you Xuzhou has changed hands, and Cao, Elk, Chen and others have managed to stabilize the situation, and it is my business? Can it be decided today to dedicate Xuzhou to Cao Cao? It's not that simple.

If Tao Qian is seriously ill and dies, then the big guy can put aside the matter of establishing the lord for the time being, and hold a funeral for him first. If this is the case, Cao Hong hurriedly found himself, and wanted to return to Yanzhou quickly, so that Cao Cao could prepare, and then Tao Qian's funeral was over, and Cao Qian's army also drove to the border line. At that time, unless Liu Bei's soldiers and horses were stationed near Tancheng, Elk Zhu would have no power to return to the sky.

However, this time Tao Qian was assassinated, and he is not dead for the time being, so he can't be in such a hurry. At this time, Xuzhou Shishu must be panicked, and may even be suspicious of each other, and there will be several times more people who sit and watch success or failure, and Cao Hong may not be able to win over enough officials and surnames to fight against Lu Zhu. Second, Danyang soldiers have always been loyal to Tao Qian, and I am afraid that they will not obey the orders of anyone except Tao Qian until they find out who is behind the scenes. Moreover, if Tao Qian dies because of this, Danyang soldiers may also make a rebellion, and arrest and slaughter all those suspected of assassination without interrogation.

All in all, if Tao Qian dies well, the Xuzhou regime can be transferred peacefully, and if Tao Qian does not die well, Xuzhou will definitely be in chaos.

So, who is looking forward to the chaos in Xuzhou? He and Cao Hong, Chen Deng and others tried their best to drive Liu Bei away, and Cao Hong also took advantage of his wedding to win over the Xuzhou gentry, if it continues to develop according to this momentum, who will be the most disadvantaged? Who else can be in a hurry to break this situation so that they can profit from the chaos? Well, it seems that Tao Qianzhi was assassinated, and the black hand behind it is about to come out.

If that person's conspiracy succeeds, for example, Tao Qian didn't last long and died on this occasion, then the Danyang soldiers might make some kind of demon moth in Tancheng, leading the people to chaos and find a way out, and the Cao brothers wanted to recruit Yanzhou soldiers into the country, but it might lead to a full-scale war. At that time, Huainan was fighting from the south to the north, and Liu Bei was on the mountain in Langxi, maybe Yuan Tan would also come to intervene...... Ah, when the time comes, the trouble will be big, how can you step into this quagmire with one foot in the mire?!

Seeing the towering city wall of Tanxian County in front of him, the banners fluttering on the city, the swords and guns shining, the city gate was heavily guarded, and the people who entered and exited were vigorously checked, Shi Xun felt that it was like a monster's bloody mouth, and he was about to swallow himself in one gulp. He hurriedly patted the driver on the shoulder: "Stop!" Quick, let's go back! ”

Zhang Min didn't understand what Shi Xun was thinking, and asked suspiciously: "Duke Cao is still waiting for his son-in-law in the city, where is his son-in-law going?" Shi Xun sneered: "In such a critical situation, with the support of the sages of Xuzhou, a certain is now an official of Yanzhou, in order to avoid suspicion, it is better not to enter the city." ”

I was about to return here, go back to say hello to Shiyi, pick up my wife, and simply run back to Yanzhou, when I suddenly saw a team of people rushing out of the city gate, and came to the front in a blink of an eye. When the first general, the face is like the bottom of a pot, the beard is like a steel needle, the eyes are wide, and he looks like the four King Kongs in the temple, ugly and fierce, so he hugged his fist on horseback: "Isn't it Yanzhou in the car?" Tao envoy Jun has an order, please be engaged in the city to meet! ”

When Shi Xun heard this, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart - Tao Qian is half dead, why do you want to see me? It looks like you can't escape? He hurriedly returned the salute: "Don't dare, so-and-so is Xun, and the general is ......"

"Zhonglang will be delayed."

Xu Tan is a person, and there is no record in the history books - maybe he mentioned a stroke in a corner, but Xun really can't remember it (in fact, "Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Lu Bu" quoted "Heroes" and mentioned this person). Ji Xun had never seen this person before, but he had heard of his name. Tao Qian's county is Danyang, Danyang people have always been aggressive, able to endure hard fighting, so after Tao Qian entered Xuzhou, he recruited fellow villagers and formed an army, about four to five thousand people, with Xu Tan as his commander, awarded the post of Zhonglang general. In a word, this Xu Tan is Tao Qian's fellow countryman, and he is also the commander-in-chief of Tao Qian's Praetorian Guard.

According to Zhang Min, now the garrisons of the four gates of Tancheng are all controlled by Danyang soldiers - although the number of Danyang soldiers is not large, but the combat effectiveness is very strong, and Tao Qian is trustworthy, even if one Danyang soldier controls ten Tancheng soldiers, it is no problem at all. At this moment, Xu Tannai is the first real power figure under Tao Qian in Tancheng, if Tao Qian has three longs and two shorts, if Xu Tan has a different heart, what Cao family, Elk family, Chen family, is family, he can let go of his hands and slaughter them all, no matter how high your prestige is, no matter how strong your ability is, it will be useless in the end.

Ah, although everyone is still accustomed to wearing the coat of pretending to be a scholar and a warm vein, in fact, this is already a troubled era based on strength, don't think that with the title of Yanzhou, Xuzhou people will not dare to move themselves - Tao Qian may not dare to move, Elk Zhu may not dare to move, martial artists like Xu Tan may be able to do anything!

Shi Xun looked at Xu Tan's ugly face, and felt that his legs were a little trembling, and he was stunned for a while, and he didn't move for a while. Xu Tan waited for him for a while, he was really impatient, and shouted: "Please engage in entering the city!" Then a soldier came and took the reins of the chariot, and took the chariot and entered the city gate. Yes Xun had no choice but to slam the carriage hard, and he had to take one step at a time - he glanced at Zhang Min beside him, and wondered if he was in trouble, whether this Zhang Min would have the ability to protect himself from the encirclement and escape safely?

It's just that Xun may sometimes be a little too pessimistic because he is too timid, after all, Tao Qian has not breathed at this time, Xu Tan will definitely not make trouble, let alone do anything to him. Soon, Xu Tan hugged Shixun into the city, and then casually took care of his subordinates to send them to the state office, and he turned the horse's head and went to do something else. He received Tao Qian's order, and was about to send someone to invite Shi Xun, but he went to the city gate and watched a car come from a distance, and some people recognized that it was Yanzhou is engaged, so he just went out of the city three or five steps to meet him - now the city is so nervous, you are a god horse, even if the old man wants to see you, I don't need to go out to pick it up in person.

Shixun soon came to the Xuzhou Prefecture Office, got out of the car, and was greeted by a small official. He entered the lobby and took a look, hey, the state officials, including Cao Hong, Cao Bao, Lu Zhu, Lu Fang, and Shi Kuan, as well as the Lang Evil Xiang Yin De, Peng Cheng Xiang Ji Lian, Guangling Taishou Zhao Yu, and representatives of the big families such as Miao, Xu, and Zhuge who came from Ren because of his wedding, will all gather together. Shi Xun came in, greeted everyone one by one, and asked Cao Hong: "How is Tao Envoy Jun now?" ”

Cao Hong frowned and replied: "I haven't been able to see it, according to the doctor Yun, the injury is very serious, and he can't get up - he called Chen Yuanlong in, and he didn't come out for a long time, I don't know what to ask." ”

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived"β€”of course, there was no such saying at that timeβ€”and they were discussing Chen Deng, when they saw Chen Deng pacing out of the back hall, still holding a wooden stump in his hand. As soon as everyone in the hall saw it, they couldn't help but lift their buttocks, and a few people who were anxious even rushed over without shoes, asking him how his injuries were, what did they tell you?

I saw Chen Deng look at the plate in his hand and said loudly: "Deng Shi was ordered by the envoy to resign for his table, please take the eldest prince Tao Mengzhang as the assassin of Xuzhou." Everyone was shocked when they heard this, hey, could it be that Tao Qian knew that he couldn't get better, so he hurriedly wanted to pass on the throne to the pottery merchant?

It was Xun who relied on his youth and strength, took two steps and squeezed into the crowd, pulled Chen Deng's sleeve, and made a look. Chen Deng understood what he meant, so he handed the watch badge to Cao Hong, and followed Shi Xun around behind the pillar - everyone else ran to the watch badge, asking Cao Hong to quickly open it and read it to the big guys, and no one followed in vain.

Shi Xun asked Chen Deng in a low voice: "Yuanlong, do you want to let the pottery merchant take over Xuzhou?" What you and I have discussed......"

Chen Deng's expression was stern, he looked at Shi Xun's eyes, and said word by word: "How can a certain person bear to bear the grace of Tao envoy Jun Jianba?" ”
