Chapter 20, the picture is poor

Tao Qian in the romance is a "gentle and pure" good man, so even if Cao Song was killed because of his mistakes in employing people, and Cao Cao raised troops to take revenge on Xuzhou, the big guys were quite sympathetic to him, and set the tone for the so-called "three lets of Xuzhou" - the old man really thought about the people of Xuzhou, so he didn't pass on his son but passed on his surname, and the duke was selfless to the extreme.

But Tao Qian in the history books is another face, saying that he "betrayed his feelings" and "lost harmony in criminal and political affairs", alienated Zhao Yu and other celebrities, and reused Cao Hong and other villains, even if Cao Cao did not call, he couldn't support this Xuzhou.

Both claims are very different and neither is credible. In the romance, Tao Qian is so beautified, firstly, to scandalize his enemy Cao Cao, and secondly, to promote his heir Liu Bei; The history books devalue Tao Qian as worthless, on the contrary, it is impossible to say anything good about Cao Cao's enemies from Cao Wei's standpoint.

Since Shixun took refuge in Qingzhou and came to Xuzhou, he has also seen Tao Qian several times, and his impression of this old man is basically between the above-mentioned beautification and ugliness. First of all, Xuzhou's civil affairs are doing well, and Danyang soldiers also look quite elite, which shows that the "criminal and political misharmony" is all slander; Secondly, the old man is old, and he just thinks about how to hand over the foundation of Xuzhou to his son, and he is full of selfish desires, but he has no public intentions at all.

But before that, he always felt that Tao Qian was a little old and mediocre, otherwise he would not have been played with by Cao Hong. And the old man's ears are also soft, what Cao Hong says is what it is, another day Lu Zhu jumped out to oppose Cao Hong's opinion, and the old man will be inclined to the Elk family again. It seems that there is basically no thinking of one's own, no firm opinions. Until this time. Tao Qian was lying on the sick seat and "humming" and talking, it was Xun Cai who knew that he had to look down on this old man. He has been in charge of Xu Fang for many years, and he can barely be regarded as one of the heroes in the world, where is it so easy to be played around by himself, Cao Hong and others? The old man can't say that he can't pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, but he also pretends to be confused, but in fact, he has always been firmly in control of the overall situation.

And the old man drank it in one gulp, "You want to dedicate Xuzhou to the Cao family", so shocked that Shixun couldn't help but reach out to touch his waist - he originally had a long sword hanging under his waist, but he was untied at the door of Tao Qian's bedroom, so he touched it empty. But even if the sword is still there, what are you going to do? Can you still pull out and cut Tao Qian? Do you have the ability and courage to do so? That's just people in dangerous situations. Instinctively, I just want to clench my weapon to defend myself.

But he is in Xuzhou, in Tao Qian's bedroom, if Tao Qian harms his own mind, not to mention himself who has just a little bit of chicken restraint in his hands, even if Taishi Ziyi is here, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to escape from Lu alone, right? Unless, tie up Old Man Tao as a hostage......

He was shocked and frightened here, and he didn't quite understand what he was afraid of, so he heard Tao Qian say coldly: "Hongfu." It was Cao Zhonghui who asked you to stay in Yanzhou and refused to return, right? Once the old man leaves the west, when the time comes, your son-in-law will be connected inside and outside, and you will be able to hold this Xuzhou firmly in the palm of your hand, right? ”

Yes Hoon listened. But I couldn't help but be stunned.

Tao Qian sighed softly, and his tone gradually slowed down: "Why bother...... Although the old man also knows the way, if the old man is not there. Losing the restraint, Elk Zhongding is not Cao Zhonghui's opponent...... However, with Zhong Hui's reputation and ability. It's really hard to dominate this state, so why not let go of your ambitions. Assist me well. Besides, once Cao Zhong recovers his delusions, Xuzhou will inevitably be in turmoil, and it is not a good thing for Yanzhou...... Hongfu, you are now in Cao Mengde, and you should be loyal, not only for Xuzhou, but also for Yanzhou......"

Shi Xun took a long breath and asked tentatively, "Tao Yuanjun said so much to the kid, what do you want Xun to do?" ”

Tao Qian nodded lightly: "Sure enough, he is a smart man - you can return to Yanzhou and persuade Cao Mengde, even if the old man dies, he still supports my son Meng Zhang. This is also the reason why the old man jumped off the beam for the time being, because you are his nephew, and it is the link between Xu and Yan! ”

Shi Xun bowed deeply to Tao Qian: "It's like the king's order." Then he stood up, and waited to retreat and leaveβ€”he said to himself that he was meowing, and he still looked down on this old boy!

Just now Tao Qian said, "You want to dedicate Xuzhou to the Cao family", this sentence scared Xun Yiyi, and thought that the old man had seen through his conspiracy, but it turned out that this Cao family was not the Cao family, and the old man didn't know that he conspired with Cao Hong, Chen Deng and others, and wanted to dedicate Xuzhou to Cao Cao, but he just thought that he was a party with Cao Hong and wanted to usurp the real power of Xuzhou after his death. Alas, this is still too short-sighted, just looking at his own family's one-third of an acre, completely confused about the general trend of the world - the old man is indeed blinded by his son's future and the survival of the family.

Whether it's good or not, it's okay, I am happy to easily return to Yanzhou and continue to work under Boss Cao. The sky in Xuzhou can't change - with Tao Qian's acquiescence, it is estimated that as long as Cao Hong doesn't go too far, he will not be able to run away from the position of the first minister of the pottery merchant in the future, so when the old man hangs up, Cao Hong forces the pottery merchant to surrender to Cao Cao, isn't that still a matter of being captured?

Thinking so, Shi Xun had already retreated to the door of the house, and when he turned around, he suddenly saw Gan sitting on the porch, his hands on his knees, probably waiting for Tao Qian's call. Suddenly seeing this beauty again, Shi Xun couldn't help but feel dizzy again, and said in his heart, "Look at the girl, you are not blessed to enter the door of Emperor Zhaolie, and you will not be able to chase Queen Gan in the future, and I don't know which piece of cow dung this flower will be inserted in the end?

In fact, flowers are inserted in cow dung, which is also a drama that has been staged countless times for thousands of years, and it can't be called miserable at all. It is said that there is no record in the history books that Liu Bei Nagan's clan was before or after Tao Qian's death, if it was before his death, it was the product of political marriage, if it was after his death...... Eighty percent was robbed by Liu Bei, a pervert. In fact, the possibility of a political marriage is really not very great, you think, even if Tao Qian wants to win over Liu Bei, he can make a wish, and there is no need to give his wife's niece and nephew to the other party as a concubine (it is possible to be a main room) - Tao Qian's father-in-law once did Cangwu Taishou, and Mrs. Gan, as the granddaughter of Erqianshi, talked about status. In fact, it is a cut higher than Liu Bei.

Shi Xun thought about it crankily, and reluctantly turned his head away. Just came out from Tao Qian's sick seat. He was very resolute and moved very quickly. It's like I want to run away quickly, but this time, I hesitate a little bit, and I don't want to leave like this.

What are you thinking? He cursed himself secretly like this, and it was only the second day of his marriage, did he think about other women again? Do you still have any discipline? Who Gan will marry in the future is none of your business, anyway, unless there is some bullshit and bloody scene all of a sudden, she can't fall into your arms. Whether the flowers are inserted into cow dung or forced by cow dung has nothing to do with you.

However, if Xuzhou is peaceful, with Gan's family background, it is unlikely to be forcibly inserted, unless Xuzhou is in chaos. Is it possible that Xuzhou is still chaotic? As soon as Tao Qian dies, this foundation will fall into the hands of my lord Cao Cao, with Cao Cao in charge, Xuzhou must be as stable as Mount Tai.

Come to think of it. He couldn't help but turn his head again, glanced at Tao Qian on the sick seat, and said in his heart, How long will this old man take to breathe? After all, the old tiger is majestic, and the old man is immortal. This Xuzhou is still stable, if the old man hangs up...... Can it really be peaceful? Can Cao Hong be able to hold the scene? Will Elk Zhu and the third child of the family make any trouble? Will Liu Bei still insert a bar? The unbounded Rong, and the unbounded Yuan Shu. What kind of trickery will they play?

Will Cao Cao really be able to take over Xuzhou smoothly without wind and waves?

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but stop in my footsteps. I didn't expect it to be such a subtle movement. was discovered by Tao Qian in the house, and he took a long breath. opened his mouth and asked him, "Does Hongfu still have anything to say to the old man?" ”

Sometimes, there will be some particularly strange thoughts in people's minds, if you don't bother to catch them, this thought may be like a meteor that suddenly crosses the sky and soon disappears without a trace, but if the thought flashes at the moment, there is a sudden external stimulus, and the thought will flash like a night lamp. In an instant, Tao Qian's words stimulated Shi Xun, and he felt a flash of inspiration in his mind - the old man was dying, what else did I have to fear?

So he suddenly turned around, took a few steps, returned to Tao Qian's side, and sat down on his knees: "Yes, Xun Zheng has a few heartfelt words to say to Tao Envoy Junyan." ”

Tao Qian opened his eyes slightly and glanced at him obliquely: "You say." ”

"What does the king think is the world? Is it the Spring and Autumn Period, or the Warring States? ”

"What about the Spring and Autumn Period, and what about the Warring States?"

"If it is the Spring and Autumn Period, then Cao, Elk, Yes, and Chen are the ministers of the country, and they will assist the gentlemen together, and they can ensure that Xu Fang is as stable as Mount Tai," Shi Xun said word by word, "and if it is a Warring States, those who cannot destroy other countries will always be destroyed by other countries." Don't talk about the eldest prince, even if Tao Yuanjun is in his prime, can he settle in Xuzhou, may he be in the world? The next day, if someone from the world comes out, Xuzhou will be merged! ”

When Tao Qian heard this, he couldn't help frowning: "What can I do?" ”

"Among the nations, Wei Xian descended to Qin as a vassal, and he survived the longest!"

Tao Qian turned his face slightly sideways and stared at Shi Xun's eyes tightly: "What do you mean......"

"Whether Xun and Cao, or Elk, or Zhenrong, they are all worried about what happens after the death of the king," Shi Xun said boldly, "Xun told you the truth, we want to dedicate Xuzhou to my lord Cao Yanzhou, the Elk family wants to dedicate Xuzhou to Liu Xuande, and Zhirong wants to dedicate Xuzhou to Yuan Highway." The general trend is like this, so you can't do anything, why not make a plan early? In this way, not only Xuzhou can be safeguarded, but also the son of Meng Zhang and the son of Zhonghe can also enjoy honor in the future. If you don't make a plan early, I'm afraid that Xuzhou will not be at peace, and Tao will be wiped out! ”

As he said this, he carefully observed Tao Qian's expression, and saw that the old man was first surprised, then annoyed, and finally his expression became calm and calm. As soon as he finished speaking, Tao Qian suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Shixun's hand, and gasped and said, "Hongfu, you are the first to tell me the truth...... It's just that the old man still has something unclear. ”

Shi Xun secretly let out a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "Please speak." ”

Before the words fell, I suddenly heard a voice behind the screen: "Tao Muzhi's doubts, why can't Xuzhou be dedicated to my lord Yuan Jizhou?" (To be continued......)
