In the checkpoint, because it took time to report, he did not dare to let Lu Bu pass, so he could only wait outside.

And Feicai sent troops back to Tan County, Xuzhou, to inform Tao Qian.

……

Day 2.

In the inner courtyard of the government office.

Sun Qian, dressed in an ink-colored robe, stood in front of Tao Qian and bowed, his face was very serious.

"Did he say that?"

Tao Qian sat up from the bed, his face was quite pale and withered, but his eyes shook and he looked very shocked.

In his opinion, Liu Bei came to Xuzhou to help, no matter how he had some schemes, or fame, or the scholars, or, in the name of benevolence and righteousness, he wanted the people of Xuzhou to thank him for his kindness.

Therefore, after that day, he knew that Tao Qian had lost the hearts of the people, so he was no longer interested.

But what he didn't expect was that Sun Gan went so close to persuade him, and he didn't want to talk sincerely and bluntly with him.

Is he really just here to help me?

"Can't be, Liu Bei, is really a person who thinks about benevolence and righteousness and has no heart for chaos? Is he really just here to help me? ”

Tao Qian was puzzled, and he couldn't even take care of his illness for a while.

stared at Sun Qian for a long time, and Sun Qian was also stunned.

He didn't dare to answer that.

"Lord, in my opinion, if he relinquishes Xuzhou to him, he will not accept it."

"It's better to settle down in a city first, and I Xuzhou can support each other and fight each other."

Tao Qian nodded, thinking deeply.

"Yes, this Xuande Gong has the identity of a clan member of the Han family, and has always had a reputation for benevolence, governing a place, but he can stabilize the hearts of the people, but let him try......"

"Give him Xiaqiu and Huailing, let him lead the troops to go, and let him stay for the time being, if he can govern and achieve political achievements, he will naturally be able to make a lot of achievements in the future."

"Well, ...... other"

Sun Qian was about to speak, when suddenly Cao Bao hurried outside the door, and quickly stepped into the compound and arrived in front of the two.

He hugged his fists at Tao Qian and said: "My lord, Qi Zhiguan sent a letter to report, saying that Wenhou Lu Bu came to help Xuzhou, and asked us if we wanted to open and greet us." ”

"He brought thousands of soldiers and horses, most of them were the troops under the jurisdiction of Chang'an, which were originally Dong Zhuo's soldiers, but after Dong Zhuo was ambushed, the Son of Heaven gave the soldiers and horses to Lu Bu and was named the general, Wen Hou."

"If you don't open it, I'm afraid there will be another thief in Xuzhou."

After hearing this, Sun Qian's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Cao Bao in surprise.

I couldn't help but murmur, "It's really here?" ”

"What did Gongyu say?"

"Oh, nothing."

Sun Qian immediately bowed down and hurriedly said, "It's a good thing that Lu Bu came to help." ”

"But the lord, General Cao, and think about it, if you really want to come to the aid of Xuzhou, with the bravery of the soldiers and horses under his command, why don't you attack Yanzhou to save it?"

"Do you want to take a detour through the mountain road and cross Yanzhou to my Xuzhou?"

Oh, yes.

Tao Qian reacted immediately, this Liu Bei can say that he is sincere and benevolent, anxious for justice and righteousness.

What about Lu Bu?

He can't have that kind of virtue, can he? Are you also worried that I will be killed by Cao Cao, so I quickly whip up and bring people to the rescue?

Am I worthy? I don't deserve it.

Lu Bu and I have never been old, and even fought against the armies in front of the Tiger Prison Pass.

That would be the equivalent of having a grudge.

"So, what does Gongyu think?"

"It must have been defeated and defeated, so I can only flee to Xuzhou, although the battle report has not arrived, but Cao Cao has retreated before, it should be an accident in the rear of Yanzhou."

"Then now that Lu Bu is coming, everything is clear, the Lord is just to accept Lu Bu in the territory, let him garrison Xiapi, attack Xiaopei, defeat the Cao army, he has many generals, far better than my Xuzhou soldiers and horses, so that it can be divided until after the autumn harvest."

"Good!"

Tao Qian suddenly took a deep breath, and his face turned a little ruddy.

Immediately ordered Cao Bao to lead the flying horse to the border pass, let Lu Bu be welcomed into the pass, give him food, and then ask him to lead the soldiers and horses to Xiapi.

Trust in one another.

Since Lü Bu had been defeated by Cao in Yanzhou, it meant that he and himself were both Cao Cao's enemies.

The enemy of the enemy is naturally a friend.

So within three days.

When Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were still resting, Lü Bu led his army into the mountains and forests in the north of Xuzhou, and attacked the flank of Cao's army under the leadership of Cao Bao's troops.

They fought each other for a day and a night.

There were two or three thousand people who killed Cao's army, so they retreated to Xuzhou and did not come out of the city.

It began to shrink again, and when it was close to the autumn harvest, Cao Cao could no longer fight, and he had to wait for this year's harvest to stabilize the rear of Yanzhou.

Reserve the grain and grass for the winter, and then send troops and horses.

Yes, it occupies half of Xuzhou for the time being, but it can't capture a Xiapi for a long time, and when the city is about to collapse, it ushered in a tiger wolf Lu Bu.

This caught Cao Cao by surprise.

But the only way to retreat is to retreat to the land of Xiaopei.

……

In the city of Xiaopei, this season is high and cool, and the sun in the courtyard is golden.

The climate is also quite suitable, but Cao Cao is not in a hurry at all.

In the courtyard.

Cao Cao watched the fish in front of the pond, and Xi Zhicai was after him, combing the current situation.

"Zhang Miao didn't know where to go, and he was afraid to flee south, and along the way, his Chen Liu's troops continued to disperse, and then returned to Cheng Yu's command, and it was not a climate."

"And General Xiahou beheaded Chen Palace and retreated Lu Bu, which is a great achievement."

"Lu Bu fled into Xuzhou just to get a place to stay, and his heart is a tiger and a wolf, brave and undecisive, and because of his background and past, he is ashamed of the scholars."

"In Xuzhou, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay."

When Xi Zhicai said this, he laughed and said: "Tao Qian is old, and everything is troubled in his old age, and now he has no choice but to ask Lu Bu to guard Xiapi, and wants him to compete with our snipe clam . ”

"He reaps the benefits."

"On the occasion of this autumn harvest, we just don't attack."

"The more stable it is, the more chaotic Xuzhou will be."

"At this time, the lord can even go back to Yanzhou to sit in town and wait for the opportunity."

In the battle of Xi Zhicai, many small battles were won by him, and many strategies caught people off guard, which can be regarded as a great increase in confidence.

It is very clear that the judgment of the situation is very clear.

It can already be asserted that Xuzhou's victory is just a matter of time and the general trend, even if Lu Bu comes here, there cannot be too many variables.

Cao Cao let out an "um".

looked at Xun Xiao who was in a daze on one side.

"What do you think, Wenbo?"

"Is it really possible that Tao'er is still in Tan County?" Xun Xiaohu asked suspiciously.

When I returned to Xiaopei yesterday, I was immediately invited to the government office by Mrs. Cao, and after eating, the old lady personally informed me of the matter.

It is said that when the woman was in Tan County, she did not follow the chariot and horse out, but went to visit relatives at their homes.

So he was not poisoned by Zhang Min.

Cao Cao: "......"

"Wenbo, a man should be a meritorious man! Leave a good name in heaven and earth! ”

"Don't miss a big deal!"

You're the one who doesn't make a big mistake!

Xi Zhicai roared wildly in his heart, so much so that his eyes became resentful.

I'm babbling and analyzing a lot! What a boast!

What are you doing!

Am I not aggrieved!

I didn't sleep all night last night!

"Tsk, Xuzhou...... Didn't you send a few letters to Chen Deng before? ”

"Not bad."

Xi Zhicai breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed: "Before leaving, among the official documents scattered in the camp, I put a few more ......."

"Half of the burned fragments of the letters, I am afraid that Xuzhou has known at this time, and the key to breaking Pi is in this scholar Chen family!"

Xi Zhicai glanced at Xun Xiao deeply.

And I thought about it.

This kid, huh...... Something, but not much.

I'm still good, the advantage is in me, hum.
