"Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde...... It turned out to be so treacherous. ”

Tao Qian was on the bed, his eyes couldn't be closed at the moment, and his breath was even more unsmooth, so he only felt dizzy.

He never dreamed that this so-called fighter plane was actually Cao Mengde's trick.

What treacherous.

"Even if we don't send troops, it's hard for us to choose, and now it's a critical time, and if we don't send troops, the morale of the army is disheartened, and rumors are spreading, that's-"

Of course, Cao Bao was also panicked, this resolution was mentioned by him, in fact, it was also to achieve meritorious deeds, if he could defeat Cao's army in this battle, he should be famous all over the world.

In the future, the status of Xuzhou, of course, no one can stand out, the so-called three checks and balances will be completely broken, and the status and prestige of their Danyang soldiers should be the pillar, and they will not be shaken.

Who would have thought...... That's the result.

But before he finished speaking, he was immediately stopped by Tao Qian raising his hand, "No need to worry, General Cao is my confidant, this battle is my decision, it has nothing to do with you." ”

"Alas...... Yuanlong, ah......"

Chen Deng, who was on the side, was shocked, and he bowed down with a cold face, but his mood was not high.

Tao Qian trembled his hands, his eyes were cloudy, he found where Chen Deng was, and said in a trembling voice: "Yuanlong, what can I do if I do it?" ”

"If at this time, if I hold on to it, may I hold it? Who is the best person to send as a guard? Or, can you negotiate peace with Cao Mengde? ”

Tao Qian's mouth was dry, and it was very difficult to say a passage, during which he licked his lips and swallowed saliva many times before he could speak.

In fact, Tao Qian also understands that the inability to say it is not simply because of these, but in his heart...... I'm afraid that Chen Deng will be worried.

After all, when the army was dispatched, he refuted his opinion, and now after the defeat of the army, he will come to ask him for a plan.

It's a bit hard to say.

At this time, Chen Deng also lowered his eyes first, but he was still very calm, and he arched his hand indifferently, and said: "In my opinion, the situation is now very critical, and we definitely have no chance of victory, after all, the army's spirit is completely lost, the soldiers and horses have collapsed, and it is extremely difficult to defend the city." ”

"General Cao Bao must know more about this matter than Zaixia."

"You ......"

Cao Bao's face changed, and he immediately wanted to refute, but he did have some reasons, but he couldn't say it when the words came to his mouth.

Now that he is indeed defeated, there is no reason to have another verbal dispute with Chen Deng.

Moreover, Chen Deng's worries at that time were indeed right, Cao Cao was really likely to ambush the troops with this, they chose to go out of the city to chase and kill, but they only accelerated the speed of defeat.

"Now, it is impossible to hold it, only please don't drive Liu Bei to Xiapi, as soon as the reinforcements arrive, no matter how many, they can strengthen the morale of our army, and they will not be defeated, and there is no place to maneuver."

"Not bad!"

Cao Bao hurriedly surrendered his hand, "Lord, please Liu Bei to come to Xiapi, which can stabilize the morale of the army!" ”

"He went south to my Xuzhou to help, and now he is the only reinforcement!"

"Don't be able to invite Liu Bei, it's not easy! Maybe this is the best chance! ”

At this time, Tao Qian looked at Wenwu's hopeful gaze, and his heart had calmed down a little, although the army was defeated, at least there were reinforcements.

This Liu Xuande, when I met him, is also a loyal Han and a person who loves the people, these years abroad, there is a lot of fame, Qingzhou also has merits in addition to thieves, at that time to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion, in the war in various places is also quite famous.

Such people can not only be reinforcements.

You can even lead me to Xuzhou!

Tao Qian's heart shook.

He understood at this moment that after the defeat of the army, Cao Cao would definitely not let him go, after all, he used the strength of the whole territory to attack my Xuzhou.

used the revenge of killing his family, and then gradually won the hearts of the people of Xuzhou, so that the people went to him.

Once Xuzhou is captured, the fate of Tao Qian's family is needless to say, while the rest of the courtiers may be spared, and they can even continue to be appointed.

That being the case, Tao Qian is no longer thinking about how to win Cao Cao, but about turning defeat into victory.

Now he is thinking about how to get out and save his family.

"My days are numbered, and now my physical situation is getting more and more difficult, and I should think about my family......"

Tao Qian thought secretly and breathed a long sigh of relief.

He sat up strongly, coughed a few times, his pale face became even more sickly, and said to Cao Bao: "Go and invite Liu Bei to Xiapi immediately." ”

"Send an envoy to sue for peace with Cao Cao again, and don't make another disaster."

"At the very least, it will be delayed for a few days......"

"If you can't resist it, retreat to Tan County and make another plan."

"Whoa!"

Cao Bao immediately walked away quickly.

At this time, all the civil and military forces in the house were already unsettled, and even many people secretly looked at each other and shook their heads secretly.

Anyone can see that the tide is turning.

Tao Qian, the lord of Xuzhou, was appointed by edict for only two years, and he had just made political achievements in the territory and calmed the people's hearts, but he didn't expect a thought......

provoked Cao Cao......

Now it seems that each other has to find another way, and they can't be affected after the destruction of Cao Juncheng......

……

Half a day later.

The four horsemen went first to the city of Xiapi.

Preparing to enter the city from the east gate, there were no cars and horses on the east gate at that time, and there were hundreds of soldiers and horses stationed in the city, which was forbidden to pass.

Of the four horses, three of them were closer, and the one who was farther away alone was Sun Qian, who was dressed in a gray robe.

Naturally, these three people are the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang that he brought.

In the middle is Liu Bei, with a serious complexion, a dignified style, a slight kindness in his eyebrows, deep eyes, a wide and neutral face, and a little big ears.

He has long arms and a modest build, and a pair of long swords on either side of the horse.

On the left side of Liu Bei is Guan Yu, who is in a dark green robe, with beautiful hair and empty eyes, a proud expression, and an awe-inspiring momentum.

On the right side is Zhang Fei with a thick face, a mixed beard, a face like black charcoal, and eyes like copper bells.

As soon as he arrived in Xiapi City, Liu Bei grabbed the reins.

I took a deep look at the castle.

Sun Gan didn't know why, and asked suspiciously: "Duke Xuande, my lord is already waiting anxiously, and Xuzhou is in a hurry, so I will ask Duke Xuande to preside over justice!" ”

"Hehehe...... Gongyou, it's ridiculous," Liu Bei laughed helplessly, "How can I, Liu Bei, solve the crisis in Xuzhou?" ”

"I am willing to come to help, it is for my eldest brother Boju, and to repay the kindness of the alliance back then, so I brought thousands of family backgrounds."

"If you are soft-spoken, you may not be able to enter Cao Cao's eyes."

"So, why stop?" Sun Gan's expression was confused, even so, why bother, go to see the lord first, as for the victory or defeat, you can know it by discussion.

Liu Bei's expression returned to calm, looked at Sun Gan, and then moved his face, and said, "Because before I arrived in Xiapi City, I was a little confused. ”

"Confused?"

Sun Qian didn't understand.

"Along the way, I heard the words of the people below, saying that Tao Xuzhou coveted the Cao family's property, so he sent troops to pretend to be bandits to intercept and kill."

"If it weren't for the generals under Cao Cao's command who desperately came to save him, I'm afraid no one would have fled back, such a grudge is really the same as what is written in the text."

Liu Bei took a deep breath, "This Xuzhou, how do you ask me to help?" ”

It's wrong, it's so wrong......

In Liu Bei's heart, he suddenly had an extremely bad feeling, he didn't seem to be able to enter this city, but since he came, how could he not enter?

So, he stopped, hesitating.

In fact, I was thinking about it.
