The next day, Tancheng, Tao Qian's mansion.

Tao Qian sat on the main seat with a smile, his face was much more ruddy than last night, his face was full of spring breeze, and he looked energetic, but his gray hair and still bloodless lips showed that his physical condition was not very good.

The three of them had already entered the city early in the morning, and they were humble to each other, Kong Rong sat first on the right side, followed by Lu Yi, and Lu Bu again.

This time when he entered the city, Lu Yi was still followed by Lu Yan and Guan Hai, and the two stood behind Lu Yi respectively, with Zhang Liao behind Lu Bu and Kong Rong coming alone.

On the left side of Tao Qian are Wang Lang, Zhao Yu, Chen Deng, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, Cao Bao and other Xuzhou civil and military personnel.

Tao Qian smiled in his eyes, and said to the three of them: "Today, the Han Dynasty is late, Haiyu is subverted, mutual conquest, people's hearts are not ancient, I have lived in Xuzhou for many years, diligent, conscientious, I dare not say that I have contributed to the community, but I also make the government full of solidity, and the people are stable!"

I don't want to be unpredictable, Disasters are rampant, Cao thieves are greedy for Xuzhou, vain sword soldiers, bullying the weak, slaughtering the people, resulting in no sound for hundreds of miles, no smoke for thousands of miles, if it is not for the princes to risk arrows and stones, kill and retreat Cao thieves, we and the people of Xuzhou are difficult to live, this is a great grace! After speaking, he bowed to the three of them.

The three of them raised their hands to return the salute, and Lu Yi spoke: "Zhang Min is unkind, what does it have to do with the government and the people? Cao thief nature!

I and all the princes came to help, all for the righteousness, the government is benevolent, and we are in vain, we have the reason to watch, not enough to worry about it! ”

In the face of his future father-in-law, Koji has to express his feelings and reason.

Kong Rong also echoed: "Cao thief kills nature, heaven and man are angry, Bian Wenli is a great Confucian in the sea, a famous person, and he was also murdered, which is really painful and embarrassing!" After speaking, he looked at his sleeve and was sad.

Hearing Kong Rong mention Bian Rang, Tao Qian, who was seated, and Wang Lang opposite, and other scribes, all hid their faces and wept, and some even sobbed.

Koji Yi looked at the people around him who suddenly became sad and was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly covered his face with the wide sleeve of his robe with his right hand, and repeatedly rubbed his nose with his left hand without a trace, until his eyes were sore.

After a while, Lu Bu next to him couldn't bear it anymore, snorted, and shouted, "It's annoying! Count the reality of the thief, if you go half a day late, you will take the head of the old thief! After speaking, there was a bang on the table in front of him.

With this sound, the hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone stopped grieving and returned to their previous demeanor again.

Lu Yi sat beside Lu Bu, secretly gave Lu Bu a thumbs up in his heart, and praised him for doing what he wanted to do but didn't dare to do.

Tao Qian also stopped grieving and said to Lu Bu: "The courage of Wenhou is known to the world, so Cao Thief is afraid that he can't avoid it, how dare he compete with Wenhou?" ”

When Lu Bu heard Tao Qian praise himself, his expression was happy, and he laughed and said: "Don't worry, if you meet that old thief again in the future, you will be the head of the thief to pay tribute to Bian Wenli and the people of Xuzhou!" ”

Tao Qian thanked him again, and then changed his words and asked, "I don't know what Wen Hou plans to do in the future?" ”

When Lu Yi heard Tao Qian's question, his face remained unchanged, and he looked sideways at Lu Bu with a smile, but his brows furrowed slightly at the moment he turned his head, and this time he happened to be looked at by Kong Rong, who also turned his head.

Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this, and then pretended to sigh and said: "Gayin's old servant Dong Zhuo, although he was removed by himself, he was not recognized by the world, and he was in Yuan Benchu's place before, helping him to destroy the thieves in the territory, and he made a lot of efforts, but he didn't want to be coveted by the villain, so he couldn't tolerate it, and was forced to leave, and General Koji should empathize with this matter!" After speaking, he nodded to Koji Yi.

Seeing that Lu Bu took the example of being forced away by Yuan Shao, he didn't care, and nodded slightly in agreement.

Lu Bu continued: "I just left Jizhou, and I suddenly heard that Cao Thief's soldiers surrounded Xuzhou, and I didn't dare to delay, and I rushed to help in the starry night. ”

After listening to Lu Bu's words, Lu Yi couldn't help but look at him twice, and secretly said in his heart: "Lu Bu said this at a very high level!" ”

On the surface, it seems that Lu Bu did not answer what he asked, Tao Qian asked about Lu Bu's future plans, but Lu Bu did not answer, but after a closer look, he felt that Lu Bu said a lot.

not only told his current situation, but also pointed out his kindness to Xuzhou by the way, and the most absolute thing was that he finally slapped Tao Qian's sycophant, which is not like what a reckless man can say.

Ko Yi secretly reminded himself again in his heart that he should not underestimate the heroes of the world.

Chen Deng, who was on the other side, had also been observing Lu Bu, and after listening to Lu Bu's words, his eyelids jumped, and then he glanced at Mi Zhu beside him, and then the two nodded tacitly.

At this time, I only heard Tao Qian say: "Dong thief disaster country, has nothing to do with Wen Hou, and Wen Hou reined in the precipice, in addition to the thief, he is a meritorious person!"

Xuzhou suffered from this catastrophe, several years of work in a flash, if Wenhou does not think that the city is sparsely populated, here near the city, there is a city Xiaopei, enough to garrison the army, you can temporarily borrow Wenhou, wait for the next day Wenhou to find a good place, and then return is not too late, I don't know how Wenhou wills? ”

Lu Bu heard that Tao Qian wanted to lend Xiao Pei to his army, and he hurriedly wanted to get up and thank him, as soon as he bowed, he felt that he was a little out of shape, so he knelt down again, and then hugged his fists and thanked: "Thank you to Fu Jun, Bu will stay Xiao Pei temporarily, but there is a drive, Fu Jun can send someone to inform you!" ”

After arranging Lu Bu's affairs, Tao Qian said to Lu Yi again: "The Cao thief retreats, Xuzhou is in ruins, in order to deter the Cao thief, I also hope that the general will leave an army in Tancheng, so that the general's soldiers plus Wen Hou, the Cao thief will not dare to come again!" ”

Tao Qian's words made Lu Yi stunned, not only Lu Yi, but Lu Bu next to him also widened his eyes and was full of confusion.

Chen Deng, who was on the other side, squinted his eyes and looked at Tao Qian, his heart turned sharply, but he couldn't figure out what Tao Qian's intentions were for a while, only Kong Rong thought for a while and showed an intriguing smile.

Lu Yi was just stunned for a moment, then recovered, and said with a pun: "The affairs of the prince are my business, and in this case, I will leave my jaw to manage the five thousand troops in Tancheng, can I?" ”

Although Li Yi didn't understand Tao Qian's intentions, since he let himself stay in Xuzhou, no matter how he thought about it, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

As for why he wants to keep his jaw, it is mainly to beware of Lu Bu, obviously he has a jaw with a tube, and secretly Chen Deng and Mi Zhu Mi Fang, not to mention Lu Bu, even if Cao Cao kills back, he can also hold on until he leads his troops to help.

Tao Qian heard that Lu Yi wanted to let Zhang Jaw stay, and said with a smile: "You are a great talent, very good!" ”

Tao Qian said that he ordered people to serve wine and set up a banquet to entertain everyone, and at the same time ordered people to lead sheep and wine to various camps outside the city to work for the army.

……

On the top of the moon, the banquet was over, and Koyi and others went out of the city and returned to the camp.

In the Chen Mansion in the city, Chen Deng, who returned home, went straight to the study, Chen Deng knew that no matter how late the day was, his father would definitely wait for him in the study.
