Tao Qian had been prepared for defeat, but he never thought that Yuan Shujun would enter the city so quickly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As Tao Qian's lair, Tancheng is naturally operated by it, and Tao Qian has made full preparations for this station, there are countless materials and equipment hoarded in the city, and there are enough troops to guard the city. He also doesn't expect to stick to it for years like some of his ancestors, but it's okay to hold on for a few months. Of course, he didn't want to hold on for so long, but as long as there was a buffer during this time, it was enough for him to plan his back and withdraw smoothly.

But after a lot of calculations, I didn't expect Yuan Shujun to enter the city so soon.

For several years, Xuzhou has been attacked by people, and now only the east of Tancheng is left, and the east is still being attacked by the enemy, even the lowest people, it can be seen that Taozhou Mu is not holding on for long, Xuzhou will soon change hands. Naturally, chaos breeds and morale drops.

The hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead. Tao Qian is undoubtedly at this juncture.

He knew that if Yuan Shujun could enter the city at this time, someone must have rebelled and opened the city gate.

But fortunately, it was not too late, and he still had time to organize the evacuation.

Tao Qian himself knew that until now, among his subordinates, there were not a few people who secretly contacted Yuan Shu. He doesn't care, because at this point, he hasn't surrendered directly, and he is already more conscientious. If Tao Qian was a crazy person, he would kill these people at all costs, and then commit suicide, leaving Yuan Shu with a mess.

But obviously, Tao Qian is not. He didn't have the courage to commit suicide, so he had to forgive these people and rely on them to resist Yuan Shujun's attack so that he could be fully prepared.

He knew that they would not surrender lightly until Yuan Shu had come to negotiate with them in person. The family of Xuzhou, even if it is not as good as Yuzhou, will never be much worse, and Yuan Shu can't get around these people if he wants to stabilize Xuzhou's rule.

So before, Tao Qian had always been very sure, even if Tancheng was besieged and Zang Ba escaped.

But apparently he was wrong, and someone couldn't wait.

At this point, Tao Qian calmed down, he knew that not everyone had defected, and now he didn't need to order anymore, someone would intercept Yuan Shujun's army and block their advance, while preparing to surrender or evacuate.

At this time, everyone had no intention of discussing matters anymore, so Tao Qian took the opportunity to let them leave and each went to stick to his post. When he said this, it meant that Tao Qian had given up and let these people choose according to their own wishes, and he himself would quickly pack up his things and prepare to flee.

As expected, although Yuan Shu's army entered the city, the Xuzhou army, with the support of the clans in the city, resisted step by step. Although the city gate was lost, this city wall was still in the hands of the Xuzhou army, and under the leadership of the defenders, it continued to resist stubbornly.

The Xuzhou army insisted on holding on in one breath, if it was placed in another city, the city gate would be lost, and the morale would be completely lost in an instant, and it might collapse directly. But this is Tancheng, the last fortress of Xuzhou, the seat of the state governor's mansion, and they have no way to retreat. Especially Tao Qian has been operating here for many years, and there are not a few soldiers loyal to Tao Qian, if there is no accident, at least it will not be a problem to block Yuan Shujun for a few days.

The news that the West Gate was broken by Yuan Shu's army soon spread, although there were still troops in the city to maintain law and order, but the chaotic situation became more and more obvious, and gradually there was a tendency that the bullet could not be suppressed, and when that day came, it was the time when the Xuzhou army was defeated.

After Tao Qian's future deliberations were disbanded, he did not hesitate, and came directly to the back hall to arrange for his family to pack up their things and prepare to retreat. At the same time, he secretly sent his guards to contact the generals who were still loyal to him.

It is said to be a secret, but in fact, it is already a public action, in the chaos, there is no secret at all, Tao Qian has been in business for several years, and he still does not have the deep heritage of the local clan.

But these people won't do anything at the moment, because there is no need for this, even if some of them want to take refuge in Yuan Shu. Tao Qian's escape was the best choice for them, because no one wanted to bear the infamy of betraying the Lord and seeking glory. If you can't hold the city and surrender, it's a matter of ability, and if you turn your back on the lord and seek glory, it's a matter of character, and it will be left behind for 10,000 years.

So they turned a blind eye to Tao Qian's movements, and even helped Tao Qian delay for a while to facilitate Tao Qian's escape.

Tao Qian did not procrastinate, because he had already prepared, in just one day, everything had been prepared, and hundreds of thousands of troops escorted Tao Qian away, including the Danyang soldiers recruited by Tao Qian from his hometown.

To Tao Qian's disappointment, except for Cao Bao and a few others, almost no one under his command was willing to leave with him.

Tao Qian Tao Qian chose the north gate, the current Langya country has not been completely occupied by Yuan Shu, he will pass through Langya, go north to Qingzhou, and then go to Yuan Shao.

Looking at the people who came to see him off, Tao Qian didn't say much, and after saying goodbye, he was about to leave immediately.

He couldn't wait.

"Lord Governor, slow down!" Just then, a voice rang out.

"Is there anything else Jingxing has to say?" Tao Qian turned around and saw Wang Lang who spoke up.

"Lord Zhou Mu, Zhao Yuanda of Qu County is still resisting the Jiangdong Army, and he may not know about Tancheng yet, since Lord Zhou Mu is determined to leave, I don't know what instructions he has for Zhao Taishou?" Wang Lang asked.

"The official is now too busy to take care of himself, Jingxing will notify him on behalf of the official and let him act on the camera!" Tao Qian didn't think about it, and said directly, "Is there anything else?" ”

"No, Lord Governor will go all the way." Wang Lang returned.

Tao Qian didn't speak again, got into his carriage, and left under the escort of the army.

Everyone watched Tao Qian at the north gate for a long time, until they could no longer see Tao Qian's figure.

"I'm going to leave too, you cherish." Finally, it was Wang Lang who spoke first.

"Lord Wang is leaving, I won't send it later." Everyone said.

Yes, Wang Lang is also leaving, and he is leaving from here, but Tao Qian is going to vote for Yuan Shao, and Wang Lang is optimistic about Cao Cao. The destination is different, of course Wang Lang will not go with Tao Qian, but his strength is not as good as Tao Qian, so he can only follow and take advantage of the situation.

Tao Qian also knew this, but he pretended not to know, and everyone maintained the superficial harmony.

"You're welcome, you're very valuable." Wang Lang said, and then looked at a young man, "Zizhong, Qu County is your hometown, and I want to trouble you to inform Zhao Yuanda." ”

"Lord Wang is polite, the lower official is going to go home to deal with affairs, and it is a convenient matter." The young officer laughed.

Wang Lang left with some of the people, and the rest were either determined to surrender to Yuan Shu or had other plans.

The young official returned with the crowd, and as soon as he entered the house, someone from the house came to report that someone from the house had come to visit.

"Do you know anyone?" The young officer asked as he walked.

"It seems to be the name of the Xiapi people, surnamed Lu, called Lu Zijing."
