Cao Bao is both the general of Xuzhou and Lu Bu's father-in-law, so when Chen Deng proposed that Cao Bao lead the troops to be stationed in Xiapi, Tao Qian just glanced at Chen Deng deeply, and then his pale face showed a little relief, and said: "General Cao is the pillar of Xuzhou, and he can be in this position!" ”

When Cao Bao heard Chen Deng's suggestion to send troops to Pi, his scalp was numb, and his body consciously moved back, but he didn't want Chen Deng to still call his name.

In the past, Cao Bao was extremely proud of the title of General Xuzhou, but since Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, Cao Bao hated this title in his heart.

So much so that now that someone mentions General Xuzhou, Cao Bao begins to wonder if he is making fun of himself.

Hearing Tao Qian's order, Cao Bao was helpless in his heart, but he didn't dare to disobey the order, and stepped forward and replied with his fists in his fists: "The last general will take the order." ”

Tao Qian nodded with satisfaction and praised: "General Cao will definitely be able to repel Yuan Shu when he goes here, and on the day he returns, I will be rewarded!" ”

Cao Bao pretended to be frightened and said: "This end will also be my duty!" ”

After speaking, he said goodbye to Tao Qian and everyone and went out to prepare for the expedition.

Tao Qian's face was a little tired, adjusted his posture slightly, and then said: "The old man is in critical condition, and his life is only in the morning and night.

You are all my confidants, you should know the old man's good intentions, I hope you will put thousands of people first, serve the new master well, and the old man will die blindly! ”

After hearing this, Chen Deng was overjoyed, and looked at Mi Zhu, it seemed that the matter that the two discussed last night was not necessary.

On the other side, Zhao Yu's face was calm, and he seemed to have been prepared, only Wang Lang was shocked after hearing this, and hurriedly persuaded: "The prince of the house has two sons under his knees, why not pass them on?" ”

Tao Qian shook his head and said: "The second son is not a good match, and the fear of forcible behavior is counterproductive, Lu Yi is my son-in-law, and I will entrust Xuzhou to my heart very peacefully, I hope that the princes will focus on the overall situation, and don't stop it!" ”

Chen Deng said in a timely manner: "General Koji is benevolent and righteous, and he is deeply supported by the people of Xuzhou, and he is close to the prince, so it is appropriate!" ”

Mi Zhu also said: "Zhu also thinks that General Koji is the best choice! ”

Zhao Yu arched his hand slightly, and his expression remained unchanged: "Yu seconded the proposal!" ”

There were four people in the room, and seeing that all three of them had agreed, although Wang Lang was unwilling, he could only say: "Wangfu Jun think twice!" ”

Tao Qian did not answer Wang Lang, but said: "I am afraid that the old man will go first and cause trouble, you can take pen and ink, and wait for me to write a letter, and the princes will see it as proof!" ”

When Mi Zhu heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Tao Qian, and Chen Deng had already called someone to get pen and ink and handed it over.

Tao Qian sat up, held the pen in his hand, and personally wrote down the matter of Xuzhou to Liyi, and then made the seal and handed it to the four people to watch.

The four of them took turns to watch and then with Tao Qian.

Tao Qian ordered the attendant to take the wooden box and put the letter in, then lock it, put it at the head of the bed, and said to the four people: "The letter is here, if Liyi comes to me, then I am still there, otherwise when he comes, the four of them can take the wooden box together to announce the letter to everyone, and give it the Xuzhou seal!" ”

The four of them agreed in unison, and then took their leave.

……

North Sea.

Liyi was very leisurely during this time, and because he was worried that Yuan Shao would send troops, he had a lot of troops and horses, accumulating grass and grain, but he didn't want to see any movement until today.

It is estimated that Yuan Shao was persuaded by the strategists to suppress his anger for the time being, but I don't know how long this anger can be suppressed.

Previously, Cheng Gongying had advised him to let Lu Yi unite Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan, and the three of them would attack and defend together to contain Yuan Shao.

Lu Yi thought so deeply in his heart, and secretly sent someone to contact Gongsun Zhan and Zhang Yan, and they both received a reply letter expressing their approval.

Yuan Shao is not invincible, and the territory of the three of them is under Yuan Shao's soldiers, so they hit it off and secretly formed an alliance.

And among the three, Koji Yi is the strongest, so in the reply letter of Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan, it is faintly to be the head of Koji Yi.

Koji sneered at this, only their own strength is the most reliable in troubled times, as if this kind of alliance has a common enemy, once the enemy is not there, or there is a conflict of interests, the alliance will collapse in an instant, and even swords and soldiers will face each other.

During this time, the relationship between Koi Yi and Tao Zhi has grown by leaps and bounds, and Tao Zhi always has a sense of restraint in the face of Koji Yi before.

As the two spent more time together, and Koji was deliberately close, this situation eased.

In the garden, Koji Yi is practicing swords, with the improvement of strength, Koji Yi personally goes into battle less and less, but in troubled times, and as a person who commands the army, it is not a bad thing to have a good martial arts.

Koji Yi practiced a set of swordsmanship, but because of the hot weather, his clothes were already soaked.

On the side, Tao Zhi took the towel from the maid's hand and stepped forward to wipe the sweat for Liyi.

Lu Yi looked at Tao Zhi and said lovingly: "When the situation is stable, accompany you back to Xuzhou to visit." ”

Tao Zhi's face was overjoyed when she heard this, she had been away from home for several months, and she really missed it tightly, so she nodded and replied: "The concubine thanked the general!" ”

Koji Yi took a sip of water, and just wanted to go back to the room to change into dry clothes, when he suddenly saw Cheng Gongying coming quickly.

"Is my brother in a hurry?"

When there are no outsiders, Koi Yi is still used to calling Cheng Gongying his brother.

Cheng Gongying stepped forward quickly, took out a letter from his sleeve, and then said: "Xuzhou urgent!" ”

Hearing the urgent report from Xuzhou, Lu Yi's face was pale, thinking that Lu Bu had taken action, and hurriedly dismantled the letter.

After a general glance at the letter, he looked surprised and looked at Cheng Gongying with a look of disbelief: "...... this?" ”

The content of the letter is Zhang He's story about Yuan Shubing's dispatch of Xiaopei and Tao Qian's request for help.

Lu Yi couldn't understand in his heart, why did Lu Bu want to snatch Yuan Shu's war horse, according to common sense, even if Lu Bu wanted to rob it, he should rob Xuzhou or his own war horse, grab Yuan Shu...... Is it because you look down on yourself?

The matter was urgent, and Koji Yi didn't care about changing his clothes, so he walked directly to the front hall with Cheng Gongying, and ordered Koji Yan to notify all civil and military affairs.

It didn't take long for everyone to come one after another, because they heard that there seemed to be a change in Xuzhou, so they didn't dare to delay.

When everyone arrived, Lu Yi said in a deep voice: "I just received an urgent report from Zhang He, saying that Yuan Shu raised 200,000 troops to attack Lu Bu, and Tao Fujun was afraid that Yuan Shu's attack on Lu Bu was fake, and it was true to seize Xuzhou, so he asked me for help, what do you think?" ”

When everyone heard that Yuan Shu had sent 200,000 troops, they were all surprised and discussed.

Lu Bu was a flying general, brave and invincible, but the 200,000 army was too exalted to him, no wonder Tao Qian would think that Yuan Shu's true purpose.

Guo Jia replied with a smile: "Yuan Shu occupies Huainan, although the soldiers are good enough to eat, it is impossible to send 200,000 troops, there must be fraud."

Shouchun was surrounded by enemies on all sides, Yuan Shu did not dare to be unprepared, and I guessed that he could mobilize no more than 100,000 soldiers. ”

Lu Yi is not particularly clear about Yuan Shu's strength, but remembers that there was a time in history when it was indeed very powerful, so that it swelled to the point of daring to openly claim the emperor.

It's a pity that in the end, Huangliang had a dream, and everyone betrayed their relatives and left them, and they couldn't end well.

Although the Han family is exhausted, not everyone can replace it!
