In the camp.

Tao Qian was stunned.

Only in the day did he refute Cao Bao and satirize the unknown Confucian scholar, but he was set on fire by Cao Cao at night!

It was already a hot day, and with this fire, Tao Qian felt that his breathing was not smooth.

Listening to the bursts of exclamations, screams, and fears that sounded in his ears, Tao Qian didn't even have the idea of escaping.

"It's over, it's all over!" Tao Qian's eyes were blank and he muttered.

Lü County and Pengcheng were successively breached, and now they were set on fire by Cao Cao's camp, except for the 4,000 Danyang recruits left behind in Tancheng, Tao Qian's descendants were almost lost.

"Envoy, run away!"

The guards around him didn't dare to stay in place like Tao Qian.

Although the fire did not burn to the tent, the smoke had already begun to choke.

Surrounded by guards, Tao Qian evacuated to the outside of the camp.

However.

Cao Cao had the heart to capture Tao Qian, how could he let Tao Qian escape?

As soon as he rushed out of the camp, Tao Qian met Xiahoudun.

"Tao Qian, where are you going?"

Xiahoudun immediately stared at Tao Qian excitedly, as if he was staring at a piece of fat.

Capture Tao Qian alive, this is the first work!

"Don't rob anyone, Tao Qian Lao'er is the general!"

Xiahoudun gave an order, picked up his knife and rode his horse towards Tao Qian.

The rest of Cao Bing were also Xiang Taoqian's personal guards.

And in the rear army baggage camp.

Cao Bao met Cao Hong.

The guards slept in armor, although Cao Bao was flustered, but he would not hug his head and run away when he saw Cao Hong.

After fighting hard, he could barely block Cao Hong.

But if he wanted to save Tao Qian, Cao Bao couldn't do it.

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and there were more and more Cao soldiers, Cao Bao was afraid and didn't dare to fight again, so he broke through with more than ten horsemen.

Half an hour later.

The shouts of killing in the camp gradually died down.

Xiahou came to Cao Cao with Tao Qian, who was disposed of by his cloak.

"Ming Gong, Tao Qian's old man has been captured by the last general!" Xiahoudun was triumphant and showed off.

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, paced to Tao Qian, and said coldly: "Pifu, when you killed my father, did you ever think about today? ”

Tao Qian glanced up at Cao Cao, and snorted disdainfully: "Cao thief, kill if you want to kill, why do you need to say more?" ”

Cao Cao was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Do you know why, Ben Jiang can ambush you here?" ”

Seeing that Tao Qian didn't speak, Cao Cao was not annoyed, he paced to himself: "If you stick to Fu Yang and fight with Wuyuan's Zang Ba, you may not be able to win quickly." ”

"As a result, you just gave up your advantage and marched sixty miles a day to capture Pengcheng."

"Let the general guess, you must have been summoned by Liu Bei, and you want to delay the general with Zang Ba and give Liu Bei a chance to take Xiaopei."

Tao Qian's eyes were more surprised, but he still didn't speak.

Cao Cao's words changed: "What a stupidity! You killed my father, but you wanted to blame Liu Xuande for the plan to move the trouble. ”

"Then who is Liu Xuande? How can I let you take the blame? ”

"In the past, Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, seized the disaster relief grain sent to Qingzhou for his own selfish interests, and Liu Xuande captured Liu Daisheng and sent him to Chang'an with a false plan to destroy him."

"Yuan Shu betrayed the alliance and withdrew his troops, and intercepted and killed the soldiers of King Qin of Qingzhou, which made Liu Bei furious, not only seized the jade seal of the country stolen by Yuan Shu, but also beat Yuan Shu to a half-crippled force, and had to withdraw to Huainan to survive."

"You have this difficulty today, all because of Liu Xuande's plan."

Tao Qian's pupils constricted suddenly: "Cao thief, Hugh has to separate the old man from Xuande, do you think the old man will believe it?" ”

Having said that, Tao Qian gradually doubted Liu Bei's intentions in his heart.

Cao Cao laughed: "Tao Gongzu, you are a character anyway, how can you be so ignorant?" ”

"If Liu Bei really wanted to help you, he would have sent Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to fight like last time."

"If you don't die, how can Liu Bei change to a Xuzhou Mu who is more beneficial to Qingzhou?"

Tao Qian was silent for a moment: "Since you think that Liu Xuande wants to kill people with a knife to get rid of the old man, why do you still want to fall for the scheme?" ”

Cao Cao stroked his hair and said: "As the saying goes, the praying mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind." ”

"If you kill my father, I will kill you, and not killing you is not enough to vent the anger of my heart."

"Liu Bei wants to borrow a knife to kill people, so the general will plan and lead Yuan Shu north to compete for Xuzhou."

"Presumably, you also sent someone to lobby Yuan Shu, wanting Yuan Shu to send troops to Yuzhou to force the general to retreat."

"It's a pity, how can a goat who is dying of old age be qualified to negotiate terms with the tiger wolf?"

"This Xuzhou, I want it, Liu Bei wants it, and Yuan Shu also wants it!"

Tao Qian's face was a little more pale: "Cao thief, have you said enough?" If you want to kill, you will kill, the old man would rather die than be humiliated! ”

Since Cao Cao learned that Liu Bei and Yuan Shu were also plotting to seize Xuzhou, Tao Qian had no luck mentality.

The combination of vertical and horizontal depicted by Fu Zhu is simply false.

The three families seized Xu, how could Tao Qian stop it?

"I regret that I shouldn't believe in Cao Hong's plan to move the disaster, otherwise how could the old man have this catastrophe!"

"Xuande, the old man can die, Xuzhou can let go, I hope you can let the old man's family go."

Tao Qian secretly sighed.

At this time, Tao Qian did not resent Liu Bei because of this.

After all, the matter of moving the trouble to Qingzhou was originally Tao Qian's unkindness.

Although this was carried out by Cao Hong without authorization, Tao Qian did not write a letter to Liu Bei to explain after learning about the incident, but acquiesced in the transfer of trouble to Qingzhou.

"Cao Mengde, give the old man a good time!" Tao Qian's eyes gradually became fierce.

Cao Cao suddenly felt bored.

I wanted to listen to Tao Qian scold Liu Bei for treachery and the like before Tao Qian died, and then angrily reprimand Tao Qian and so on, so as to relieve the worries in his heart, but Tao Qian didn't want to entangle with Cao Cao.

"Chop."

Cao Cao did not hesitate any longer, waved his hand, and motioned for Xiahoudun to escort Tao Qian out.

Not much.

Xiahoudun sent Tao Qian's head to Cao Cao.

Glancing at Tao Qian's head, Cao Cao's tone was also more cold: "Since Tao Qian is dead, we will immediately retreat to Pengcheng." ”

"At the same time, spread the news of Tao Qian's death."

"Next, it's up to Liu Bei and Yuan Shu to deal with it."

The other side.

Cao Bao, who broke through the siege, rushed all the way back to Fuyang, gathered the routed troops and prepared to defend Fuyang City.

But soon, the news of Tao Qian's death reached Fuyang City, which immediately terrified the remnants of the defeated soldiers in the city.

Just when Cao Bao hesitated, You Heng found Cao Bao again.

"Mr. No Regrets, aren't you going back to Tancheng?" Cao Bao was a little surprised.

You Heng smiled: "Since the general is still alive, then I naturally have to come to find the general." ”

Cao Bao's tone was more resentful: "Don't you really want to die?" ”

You Heng shook his head: "If I want the general to die, how can I keep reminding the general to strengthen his vigilance and be careful of fire attacks?" ”

Cao Bao didn't think twice: "But you escaped." ”

You Heng was helpless: "General, I'm just a Confucian student, not as brave as a general, if I don't escape, I will be buried in the fire." If the general holds a grudge, then please kill me. ”

You Heng's neck is scolded, and he looks like he wants to die.

For a moment, Cao Bao really wanted to cut You Heng.

It's not that Cao Bao hates You Heng, but You Heng's appearance at this time is too bad!

Stretching out their necks to cut people, how many people can bear it?

Long.

Cao Bao took a deep breath, retreated, and said: "Mr. No Regrets, now that Tao Yuanjun has been killed by Cao Cao, the soldiers of Fu Yangcheng have no fighting spirit and will have different intentions." I have the intention of surrendering Cao, but I am afraid that Cao Cao will not accept it, but there is a good plan to teach me? ”

You Heng laughed: "How stupid the general is! I'd rather surrender to Cao than rely on Qingzhou Mu, wouldn't it be a sacrifice to the end? ”

Cao Bao sighed: "Don't regret sir, I won't tell you." Anyone in this Xuzhou can be attached to Qingzhou Mu, but my Cao family can't be attached. ”

You Heng wondered, "Why is this?" ”

Cao Bao sighed and said distressedly: "It's all because of the clan brother Cao Hong, who blamed Xuande Gong for killing Cao Song in order to move the trouble. If Tao envoy Jun is there, Xuande Gong will also give a few thin noodles. ”

"Tao Envoy Jun is no longer here, how can Xuande Gong let me?"

You Heng laughed: "The general is too worried! Cao Hong is Cao Hong, and the general is the general. ”

"Didn't the general forget that in the past, he and his son worked with the king to discuss Dong?"

"Although Zi Gangong is deceased, General Guan, the righteous brother of Xuande Gong, is still here, why doesn't the general invite General Guan to join Xuzhou and temporarily take the post of Xuzhou pastor?"

"General Guan is quite righteous, thinking of the friendship between King Qin and Dong in the past, how can he not tolerate the general?"

Cao Bao's eyes suddenly lit up: "If it wasn't for General Guan to save him in the past, the general would have died a long time ago." It's just that General Yingguan entered Xuzhou, lest the rest of the civil and military forces be dissatisfied. ”

"Although Tao Yuanjun is dead, but the two sons are still there, if I serve General Guan as the pastor of Xuzhou, I will be suspected of betraying the lord to seek glory."

"General Guan is also a loyal person, if he sees me in Xuzhou, he will probably blame me."

You Heng shook his head: "General, this state pastor is an important position of the state, how can it be passed on to his descendants like a prince?" ”

"Tao Gongzu can't protect the people of Xuzhou, the general welcomes General Feng Guan into Xuzhou, but for the benefit of the people of Xuzhou, who dares to disagree?"

"General Guan is loyal to the country's righteousness, and is determined to help Xuande Gong Kuang help the Han family, how can he blame the general for this?"

"Don't be suspicious, General."

Cao Bao looked at You Heng in astonishment: "Mr. No Regrets, how can you know General Guan so well?" ”

Seeing that Cao Bao had doubts on his face, You Heng no longer hid his identity, and bowed to Cao Bao: "Qingzhou persuades students to engage, don't drive the mansion book Zuo You Heng You Zheng Ping have seen the general." ”

"No regrets are just a pseudonym under the name."

Cao Bao was so shocked that he took a step back.

Although Cao Bao is not as quick thinking as the strategists, there are some speculations at this time.

"You are an important minister in Qingzhou, but you are lurking around the general under a pseudonym, what do you want?"

You Heng smiled: "Naturally, it's for Xuzhou!" Tao made Jun unable to hold Xuzhou, and caused trouble for Xuzhou, Xuande Gong naturally couldn't bear it. ”

"Xuande Gong has the scepter given by the Son of Heaven and has the right to fake festivals."

"The Han Dynasty has a law, and all the envoys who hold the festival represent the emperor in person, symbolizing the emperor and the country, and can exercise power."

"General, do you need more explanation?"

Some words are point-to-point.

Cao Bao is not a stupid person, and he quickly understood the meaning of You Heng.

Taking a deep breath, Cao Bao arched his hand and said, "The last general is willing to listen to the orders of Xuande Gong." ”

From the general to the last general, Cao Bao's title has changed, which also means that his attitude towards Liu Bei has changed.

You Heng said kindly: "I heard that the general has a daughter, who is the age to be married?" ”

Cao Bao was slightly stunned: "The little girl Ayuan, it is indeed in the boudoir." ”

You Heng reminded: "General Guan has a son, and now he is also waiting under General Guan's account. If the general is interested, he can make a good match. ”

The doubts in Cao Bao's heart completely disappeared, and he arched his hand again and again: "Mr. Xie You, remind you that the last general knows what to do." ”

Wooing people naturally has to give benefits.

Although You Heng did not promise Cao Bao that Guan Yu would definitely agree to this family business, at least you gave Cao Bao a chance.

As for whether it can be successful, it depends on Cao Bao's own ability.

Cao Bao was happy in his heart.

There is the past friendship with Guan Yu to discuss Dong Zhuo, and there is also the love of Guan Yu entering Xuzhou.

Guan Yu has to give a few thin noodles.

The news that Tao Qian was captured and killed by Cao Cao soon spread back to Tancheng.

Hearing that Tao Qian had died in battle, Tao Qian's two sons, Tao Ying, a pottery merchant, were furious and wanted to lead the remaining 4,000 Danyang recruits to fight Cao Cao.

But this decision was vetoed by Don't drive Mi Zhu: "Tao envoy Jun died in battle, Xuzhou has no leader, the top priority is to elect a new state pastor to temporarily lead Xuzhou, so that he can command the counties." ”

Tao Ying said: "Do you still need to choose this?" Let my eldest brother temporarily lead Xuzhou Mu to avenge my father! ”

There was a sudden silence in the office.

Seeing this, Tao Ying said angrily: "You are only now in the official position when you are appreciated by my father. Eat your loyalty, will you not avenge my father? ”

The potter's eyes also became gloomy: "Everyone, I will temporarily lead Xuzhou Mu, can't I?" ”

Mi Zhu didn't answer.

Chen Deng, the captain of the Diannong School, came out and said: "Shang Gongzi, the state pastor is an important position of the state, how can he pass on the heir like a prince?" When Tao Envoy Jun was there, neither of you was out of office, but now you want to temporarily lead Xuzhou Mu, which is reasonable and legal, and it is not in accordance with the rules. ”

The potter clenched his fists: "Since you said that it is not in accordance with the rules, then who is in accordance with the rules?" Who wants to avenge my father, he is Xuzhou Mu, how? ”

At the time of the argument.

People reported that Cao Bao returned.

The potter Tao Ying suddenly grabbed a straw like a drowning man, and hurriedly invited Cao Bao in.

As soon as he saw Cao Bao, the potter said: "General Cao, if you can avenge my father, you are the pastor of Xuzhou." ”

The civil and military departments shook their heads one after another.

Cao Bao glanced at everyone and scolded the pottery merchant Tao Yingdao: "The state pastor is an important position of the state, how can it be said that whoever is allowed to be in charge should be in charge?" ”

"Two sons, if you don't understand officialdom, don't talk nonsense."

Potter Tao Ying's eyes widened.

"General Cao, even you—" Tao Ying was dissatisfied.

Cao Bao no longer paid attention to the potter Tao Ying, but looked at the government with a sword:

"The Han Dynasty has a law, and all the envoys who hold the festival represent the emperor in person, symbolizing the emperor and the country, and can exercise power."

"Xuande Gong has the scepter given by the Son of Heaven and has the right to fake festivals."

"Now that Cao thieves have committed crimes, I would have intended to serve Hou Guan Yu of Hanshou Pavilion and temporarily lead Xuzhou Mu, do you have any opinions?"

Mi Zhu and Chen Deng already understood Zheng Ping's purpose in their hearts after seeing You Heng arrive with Cao Bao.

So the two of them came out one after another.

"Xuande Gong is benevolent, Guan Junhou is loyal and righteous, if Guan Junhou temporarily leads Xuzhou Mu, the Mi family will help you."

Tao Yuanjun unfortunately died in battle, but the crisis in Xuzhou was not resolved. There is Cao Cao in the west, Yuan Shu in the south, and only the relevant princes and marquis lead Xuzhou Mu can retreat from the enemy! ”
