Just when Dong Zhuo was waiting for Cao Cao to start performing.

Tao Qian of Xuzhou was in a very depressed mood at this time, because he found that although he had sent someone to intercept and kill Cao Cao's father, he could prevent it from happening.

But Cao Cao's reaction was too radical!

In the conference hall, Tao Qian's gaze moved to the middle-aged man in his official uniform and his face was gloomy, and he slowly spoke: "Yuanlong, the death of Cao Cao's father has indeed nothing to do with me. ”

"Thou shalt not listen to rumors."

"Cao Song has made countless enemies, and someone took this opportunity to make trouble and kill him, blame me, and I was caught off guard."

"What's more, Cao Cao is cunning and abnormal, and he blames me for this, just because he wants to be famous."

It turned out that the middle-aged man with a gloomy face and was called Yuanlong was Chen Deng of the Chen family, a local clan in Xuzhou.

Chen Deng listened to Tao Qian's words and exhaled heavily, it turned out that he had just come to Tao Qian's mansion to ask if Cao Song's death had anything to do with Tao Qian.

Of course, Tao Qian will not admit that Cao Song's death has something to do with him.

Chen Deng listened to Tao Qian's explanation, and thought that Tao Yuanjun was usually a "generous and benevolent" person, and he only thought that this matter was really done by bandits.

As for Cao Cao, he naturally seized this opportunity and blamed Tao Qian.

The atmosphere in the council hall seemed a little solemn, and after a while, I only heard Chen Deng say in a deep voice: "Now that the incident has happened, I rule the country with filial piety, and the situation is quite unfavorable to us. ”

"Cao Cao took revenge on his father as an excuse, and his subordinate generals must be sad, and there is a way that the mourning army will win, and I am afraid it will be even more difficult to deal with in the future."

In the conference hall, in addition to Tao Qian and Chen Deng, there are several other people, all of whom are the external contacts of the local families in Xuzhou.

The so-called liaison person is the person who has been trained by the family to serve as an official inside and outside the clan.

The official positions of these people are large or small, and they are all related to the strength of their families.

Among them, the strongest ones are the Chen family and the Mi family.

Cao Cao's father was killed, and Cao Cao's declaration was so radical, which could not but make the local family in Xuzhou worry and worry.

Tao Qian rubbed his brows, his slightly dry eyes swept over the next crowd, he didn't expect that the world was impermanent, the situation changed abruptly, and he was no longer the opponent of Cao Cao's younger generation.

When he killed Cao Song, Tao Qian was not without scruples, but what he thought in his heart was that even if he had a bad relationship with Cao Cao, he would be able to deal with one or two.

However, the rest of the matter gradually fell out of his control, fighting in Xuzhou itself, and the army under his command was also defeated one after another.

When the news of the defeat of the front line kept coming, Tao Qian had to admit that he was indeed hasty.

Xuzhou's internal war, occupying the geographical advantage, he can still lose, which shows that he can no longer just say that he is weak.

Cao Cao is a little strong!

However, people cannot be resurrected after death, and now that Cao Song is dead, it is not beneficial to think about anything else.

Not to mention.

If God gave him another chance, he would still make the same decision.

Cao Song's identity was placed there, which made Tao Qian feel like a fish in his throat.

Scold.

Tao Qian shook his head, dispelling the messy thoughts in his heart, it was nothing more than a defeat and death, and he had reached the age of sixties.

has long put aside the matter of life and death, and it is a good thing to be able to cut off Cao Cao's wings.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what should we do now that the war is exhausted?"

In such a situation, Tao Qian decisively did what most superiors should do, that is, to ask others.

There is a way that one person is short in wisdom and three people in wisdom, which is also the most important reason why everyone gathers in Tao Qian's Mansion today.

After all, if Cao Song is dead, then he will also die, and the current trouble is the big problem.

With Tao Qian's question, the needle drop in the conference hall became audible again.

"Huh? Do you have a good plan? Tao Qian's eyes swept over the silent crowd and asked again.

At this time, I saw Mi Zhu get up and salute and said, "Envoy, I'm afraid the only way to do this is to ask for help." ”

"Asking for help?" Tao Qian's profound gaze looked at Mi Zhu, and muttered, "With what Zizhong said, who should I ask for help?" ”

Mi Zhu's face did not change in any way, and he said in a deep voice: "For today's plan, I can only ask Qingzhou for help." "Qingzhou Assassin Shi Tian Kai obeyed Gongsun Zhan's orders, and it is not difficult to ask him for help."

"Qingzhou."

"Tian Kai."

Tao Qian slowly closed his eyes, if it weren't for the movement of his fingers from time to time, he would have thought he was asleep.

After a while, Tao Qian opened his eyes and said softly: "In this case, send someone to Qingzhou to ask Tian Kai to send troops." ”

After speaking, Tao Qian didn't wait for everyone to reply, and said slowly: "I am a little tired today, if there is something important, I will discuss it another day." ”

Seeing Tao Qian's words, everyone silently withdrew from the chamber.

After a long time, Tao Qian suddenly raised his voice and said, "Come here, invite General Cao and General Xu." ”

It didn't take long for two burly general-looking people to come to Tao Qian's mansion.

The two glanced at each other and saluted, "I've seen the envoy." ”

"I don't know what the envoy is going to do when he calls me and others to come."

Tao Qian waved his hand and said with a smile: "You two have followed me for many years, why are you so polite." ”

"Sit."

"Sit."

Tao Qian summoned two people, one named Cao Bao and the other named Xu Tan, both of whom were Tao Qian's henchmen.

If it is said that the reason why the family within Xuzhou is attached to Tao Qian, in addition to Tao Qian is the history of Xuzhou and the current pastor of Xuzhou.

Another more important reason is that Tao Qian has an elite soldier, this elite soldier is called Danyang Bing, and the Danyang Bing is led by Cao Bao and Xu Tan.

It can be seen that Cao Bao and Xu Tan are Tao Qian's real henchmen.

Tao Qian looked at the two henchmen below, his face was not as dull as before, and he turned to a smile.

It's just that the words that came out of his mouth made people laugh, "Now that Xuzhou is worried about internal and external troubles, it will be necessary to endure the two generals in the future." ”

Cao Bao and Xu Tan glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in their eyes.

If you want to talk about external troubles, how to talk about internal troubles?

But now is not the time to discuss these issues, although the two are military generals, they are not politically simple.

You can't be wrong about your position!

You have to be clear about your attitude first.

I saw the two of them get up and salute: "The last general was originally to make the king go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not give up!" ”

"Good!"

"Good!"

"There are two generals here, I don't have to worry about it, I have discussed with everyone today, and I have decided to send someone to Qingzhou for help."

"At that time, Qingzhou will come to help, and the two generals will have to cooperate well with it, as long as Cao Cao retreats, the rest will not be a big trouble."

"Yes."

"The Admiral understands."

After Tao Qian, Cao and Xu chatted for a while, they sent them out.

Tao Qian was the only one left in the chamber.

"Qingzhou."

"Tian Kai."

"Huh."

"Since I went to find Qingzhou Tian Kai, why didn't I go to find Dong Zhuo in Yongzhou? As long as Dong Zhuo is willing to send troops to Yanzhou, Cao Cao will not be able to take care of each other, and he will be defeated. ”

"However, Dong Zhuo's mind is gloomy, and the previous incident of Cao Song was also revealed by him, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't necessarily think of Cao Song."

"It seems that Dong Zhuo is ready to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."

"But ......"

Tao Qian muttered to himself, "But let's write a letter to him." "I don't think he wants Cao Cao to be big."
