Taishan, who lived in Xuzhou, learned that Yuan Bai was arrogant as emperor and Yuan Xie issued an edict to recruit princes from all walks of life to crusade against Yuan Bai, so he locked himself in his room and thought about it for a night, thinking repeatedly about how he could benefit from it. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info At the beginning, Zhang Min escorted Ugong Zhaolie's father Yugong Song at the instigation of Taishan, who expected Zhang Min to rebel halfway, and before he arrived in Yanzhou, he killed dozens of members of Yugong Song's family, so that Taishan's plan to kill people with a knife came to naught, and he also recruited a strong enemy of Ugong Zhaolie to Xuzhou.

Since then, Taishan has been thinking day and night about how to escape from Xuzhou, and not to damage his reputation, so as not to fall into the infamy of being greedy for life and afraid of death. Taishan knows that Tao Qian has no ambitions, once Ugong Zhaolie leads his troops to attack Xuzhou, Tao Qian is 10,000 unstoppable, and the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, Taishan does not want to die in Xuzhou with Tao Qian. But since entering Xuzhou in the past two years, Taishan has always pretended to be a compassionate look, pretending to be a long time, even thinking that it is his own nature, but also in the hearts of the majority of Xuzhou residents, leaving a benevolent and generous public image. If Taishan is allowed to flee from Xuzhou when he is in trouble in Xuzhou, Taishan's reputation will be ruined.

This time Yuan Bai was called the emperor, so that the scheming Taishan saw the opportunity, after a night of thinking, Taishan decided to borrow troops from Tao Qian to recruit Yuan Bai. Taishan understood that Tao Qian was unwilling to go out in person, after all, his body bones were there. On the other hand, the edict of the Yuan Association has spread all over the world, if Tao Qian, who is the pastor of Xuzhou, does not send people and horses to crusade against Yuan Bai, it is really unreasonable, Taishan believes that Tao Qian will symbolically send a team of military horses to conquer Yuan Bai. Then, Taishan's opportunity has come, he can take the initiative to ask Ying, receive this task, and lead his troops to conquer Yuan Bai, in that case. Mount Tai can not only get a team of people from Tao Qian's hands, but also leave Xuzhou justifiably and avoid the end of burning with Tao Qian's jade, which is a beautiful thing that kills two birds with one stone.

The next day, Taishan, who had not slept all night, shook up his spirits and came to Tao Qian's house early in the morning to ask to see Tao Qian. After meeting, Taishan greeted him a little, and then said straightforwardly: "Duke Ming, the Son of Heaven issued an edict calling on all princes to crusade against Yuan Bai, who usurped the throne, I don't know what Duke Ming plans to do?"

When Tao Qian heard this, he sighed with a sad face, and said in an old tone: "Taishan, the old man is already so old, and he can't stand the long journey, but the edict of the Son of Heaven, the old man can't help but obey, it's difficult......"

Seeing Tao Qian was the same as what he had guessed in his heart. Taishan hurriedly took the opportunity to say: "Ming Gong must not leave Xuzhou, otherwise the soldiers and people in the territory will be fluctuating." If the Ming Gong sent a general to lead a team of men and horses to crusade against Yuan Bai, it's just that the commander sent by the Ming Gong must be a famous man in the world, otherwise, there will be people with ulterior motives, indicating that the Duke is perfunctory. ”

Tao Qian listened to Taishan's words, at first he was skeptical, and when he heard half of it, his brows gradually eased, obviously thinking that Taishan's words were very reasonable, but at the end, Tao Qian's brows were unfolded, and they wrinkled together unconsciously. With a bitter smile, Tao Qian said: "Taishan, your time in Xuzhou is not short, do you think in Xuzhou, who can be called a famous person in the world?"

Taishan was secretly satisfied with Tao Qian's cooperation, and things were already developing steadily according to Taishan's plan. At that moment, Taishan pretended to say: "Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, the two brothers, although they are businessmen, are they also staff members under the Ming Dynasty's account, are they worthy of this position?" Tao Qian shook his head and sighed: "These two people can be regarded as county guards in business and governance, but if they march and fight, it is really difficult." ”

After the two people recommended by himself were denied, Taishan was even happier in his heart, if he wanted this effect, he would list the famous people in Xuzhou one by one, and then let Tao Qian deny them one by one, and finally, Taishan would recommend himself again, and ask Ying to lead the troops to go out and take the opportunity to leave Xuzhou.

"Then, Chen Yuanlong is smart and witty, can he take on this heavy responsibility?" Taishan pretended to think and continued to recommend candidates who were simply not competent. Chen Yuanlong is Chen Deng, a person from Xiapi in Xuzhou, a celebrity in Xuzhou, and Yuanlong is his word. Chen Deng served as a county magistrate when he was young, and because of his outstanding political achievements and deep popular support, he was later appointed by Tao Qian as the captain of the agricultural school. His father, Chen Qi, is also a famous scholar in Xuzhou, whose name is Hanyu. Whether it is Chen Qi or Chen Deng, the expertise of the father and son is to manage the internal affairs of the county and county, and they have nothing to do with leading troops to fight. Therefore, Tao Qian still shook his head and denied Taishan's recommendation again.

In all fairness, Xuzhou is not a place of outstanding people, there are very few talented people, and Tao Qian has no ambitions, just to keep Xuzhou, some ambitious people have left Xuzhou and switched to other places. Combining these two reasons, Tao Qian's subordinates did not have a general who marched and fought at all, otherwise the last time the princes met the alliance, Tao Qian would not have gone in person at such an age.

After saying the names of several people one after another, Taishan saw that Tao Qian shook his head and refused as he expected, and Taishan thought that the time was ripe. So, Taishan put on an impassioned look and said to Tao Qian: "The Son of Heaven has issued an edict, and I have no one to send in Xuzhou, alas... If Ming Gong believes in Mount Tai, he is willing to borrow thousands of troops and go to Jianghuai to fight to the death with Yuan Bai!"

How did Tao Qian know Taishan's true thoughts? He also thought that Taishan was angry at Yuan Bai's self-reliance and was dedicated to the sake of Xuzhou, so he recommended himself and was willing to lead thousands of troops to fight Yuan Bai to the death. Tao Qian, who didn't know what was going on, was so moved that he almost shed tears: "Taishan, your hard work, the old man naturally understands, but now it is impossible for Xuzhou to take out a large army to fight Yuan Bai, at most 5,000 men and horses can be transferred, in that case, isn't it for you to be sent to death? How can the old man watch you go to death for Xuzhou?"

Taishan pretended to be grateful, stepped forward and grabbed Tao Qian's hands, made the killer move, and said with tears: "Ming Gong, Taishan has been deeply favored by Ming Gong since he entered Xuzhou, the people of Xuzhou are under the governance of Ming Gong, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, Xuzhou can do without Taishan, but not without Ming Gong, a certain wish to represent Ming Gong, go to fight with Yuan Bai, it can be regarded as repaying Ming Gong's kindness, please allow Ming Gong!"

Taishan's tears have always been his sharpest weapon, it can be said that up to the eighty-year-old man, down to the eight-year-old child, as long as it is sophisticated, few people can escape the tears of Taishan. Tao Qian was no exception, holding Taishan's hands, he was moved by Taishan's tears and words, and said in a choked voice: "Taishan, the house is kind...... Anyway, the old man will go with you with 5,000 elite soldiers on behalf of the old man. Remember, once the war is unfavorable, return to Xuzhou immediately, and don't fall into danger because of a momentary mood. ”

Returning to Xuzhou? This time, in the name of crusading against Yuan Bai, he is going to leave Xuzhou, how can Taishan return to Xuzhou again? What are you going to do when you return? Waiting for the army of Unomiya Zhaolie to attack, and you Tao Qian will burn all the jade, and become the ghost of Ugong Zhaolie's knife together? Although I thought so in my heart, Taishan's face did not show it at all, but cried even more, and there was a great posture that Tao Qian would not hesitate to go to the soup and fight the fire.

After coming out of Tao Qian's mansion, the sadness on Taishan's face disappeared in an instant, and he slowly showed a smile after the conspiracy succeeded, and then returned to his residence with a hint of panic.

As soon as he entered the door, Taishan shouted impatiently: "Second brother, third brother, quickly reorganize the army!" The two brothers who were practicing in the courtyard, after hearing Taishan's shout, Zhang Wu raised the snake spear in his hand and said angrily: "Big brother, is it Ugong Zhaolie who is here? Come just in time, see me poke him 10,000 holes!"

Taishan stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Wu, shook his head and said: "Yugong Zhaolie didn't come, we are going to replace Tao Envoy Jun and lead 5,000 elite soldiers to conquer Yuan Bai under the edict of the Son of Heaven." After hearing Taishan's explanation, Zhang Wu became even more angry: "It turned out that he was going to fight Yuan Bai, that's better, this Yuan Bai is arrogant, he dares to stand up as the Son of Heaven, I must poke him 10,000...... 20,000 holes!"

Guan Wei and Zhang Wu are both heroes who stand up to the sky, and they have long been unaccustomed to Yuan Bai's arrogant and domineering appearance, since they heard that Yuan Bai was arrogant and proclaimed emperor, Zhang Wu has been shouting every day to kill Yuan Bai. Although Guan Wei is not like Zhang Wu, who says what he thinks in his heart every day, the hatred for Yuan Bai in his heart cannot be concealed. Immediately, Guan Wei snorted coldly, and then said: "Big brother, let the third brother go to the army later, and now go to the Xuzhou camp and personally pick up the troops! Tomorrow morning, we will set off!"

At the same time, Unomiya Terulie personally led an army of 50,000 to embark on a journey to conquer Yuan Bai. On this expedition, although Ugong Terulie did not think that he could defeat Yuan Bai in one fell swoop, the necessary preparations still had to be in place, so the elite troops of the Tiger Leopard Cavalry and the Tiger Guard, which had just been formed into an army, were all taken by Umiya Terulie by his side, plus 30,000 strong, and together formed this army to defeat Yuan Bai. In order to show respect and importance to the Son of Heaven, the generals under the command of Ugong Zhaolie did their best, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan brothers, Ugong Hong, Ugong Chun and other clan brothers, Yu Ban, Li Dian and other generals with foreign surnames, as well as strategists Cheng Yu and ghost talent Guo Jia, all followed Ugong Zhaolie on the expedition.

Before leaving for the expedition, Ugong Zhaolie quietly called Yugong Ren, who stayed in Yanzhou, and asked him to pay attention to Xuzhou's movements at all times. For this reason, Ugong Terulie deliberately left Le Jin and Ugong Xiu as Ugong Ren's deputies, and told Ugong Ren that if necessary, in the name of Ugong Terulie, he could use the Taihe Department guarding Qingzhou to jointly attack Xuzhou.
