Chen Deng did not pay attention to this kind of problem.

Because he knows very well that this kind of problem cannot be counted as a problem at all.

So he ate a piece of fish and slowly spoke.

"The general should understand that the State of Xu and the State of Wei are not at the same level? General Xu Guozuo or General Wei Guopingnan, which one is more promising, doesn't the general know? Wei, it seems that only Jizhou and Xuzhou are equal, but is Wei really only one state? ”

Chen Deng's eyes were very sharp: "Wei State, Xu State, how to choose, the general should have already made a decision in his heart, in my opinion, the general's choice does not take a lot of time." ”

Zang Ba was silent for a while, the barbecue was about to be burned, and he sandwiched the barbecue meat into a bowl.

"Wei Gong...... How do you plan to attack Xuzhou? ”

"Led by the Chen family, the Mi family, the Zhang family, the Zhao family and other more than ten families, jointly raised troops, raised troops from Xiapi, and crusaded against Tao Gongzu, at the same time, the army of Wei Gong will enter Xuzhou from Taishan County, and directly smash Tao Gongzu's national capital, can Tao Gongzu still resist?

At this moment, if the general joins, at a critical time, do some small things for us and others, then, can I predict the future of the general? General, the opportunity must not be lost, and the loss will not come again, how should the general decide? ”

Zang Ba silently ate a few pieces of barbecue, chewed heavily, and then drank another glass of wine and took a deep breath.

"Can a man who is a servant turn his back on his king?"

"When we raise troops, we are cutting off Tao Gongzu's Xu State, and we will never be the subjects of Xu State, a state land, and raise him as a monarch? Doesn't the general know that the south of the river is already fighting for this monarch or not? Who wants to worship a monarch with a state? ”

Chen Deng said it very seriously.

"Have you already decided? When to get your hands on? ”

Zang Ba looked at Chen Deng.

"Soon, as long as the general agrees, we will be able to do it soon."

Listening to Chen Deng's answer, Zang Ba was silent.

Time passed little by little, and the charcoal fire that Zang Ba used to burn the iron plate was extinguished.

The iron plate gradually cooled, but Chen Deng was not worried, and slowly savored his favorite raw fish tray.

"I promise you."

Zang Ba still made the decision that Chen Deng expected.

"The general is wise."

Chen Deng raised his glass: "Tao Gongzu is not the master of Ming, Tao Gongzu can no longer hold Xuzhou, and the future of Xuzhou is definitely not in the hands of Tao Gongzu, let alone in the hands of his son, the future of Xuzhou, in the Duke of Wei, in the State of Wei." ”

Zang Ba took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, regaining his inner peace.

"Hopefully this is the right decision I made."

"The general will not make a wrong decision, and the general will definitely not regret this decision."

Zang Ba raised his glass, clinked glasses with Chen Deng, and then drank all the wine in the glass together.

Cao Bao has never been in their consideration, as Tao Qian's diehards, they know very well that Cao Bao will never surrender and will never betray Tao Qian.

Cao Bao's army was the last difficulty for the people of Xuzhou to get rid of Tao Qian.

Because there are quite a lot of Danyang people there, all of them are Tao Qian's fellow villagers, and the degree of loyalty naturally goes without saying, and Danyang has always been famous for producing elite soldiers, and Danyang elite soldiers are no small threat to Chen Deng.

It is not easy to let their private soldiers fight with Danyang soldiers, but if the object has to add Guo Peng's army, then it will be no problem.

For many years, Guo Peng's army swept through the Central Plains and Hebei and there was an invincible opponent in the grassland, never defeated, and the worst was a draw.

Tao Gongzu is not a bad person, he also has credit for governing Xuzhou, he has a hand in protecting the territory and the people, and he is not bad, but it is a pity that he is old and can't see the appearance of the master, and it is full of desperate places.

You even have to be a king!

Do you deserve it?

Those who do not recognize themselves will pay the price for their arrogance and arrogance.

The sudden establishment of a feudal state really shocked the people of the world, made the people of the world puzzled and disgusted, until they rose up to resist.

Not everyone can build a feudal state, and not everyone can become a monarch by a decree, and there are many links in this that make people's scalps tingle.

Iron must be hard itself.

Is Guo's hardness comparable to that of the other seven princes?

Obviously, no, so there is no doubt that they have been driven by their own desires to do stupid things, and have successfully aroused the disgust of their subordinates and local powerhouses, so what the result will be is self-evident.

The group rebelled, and they did not agree, even if some people forcibly ascended the throne, many people opposed it, and even raised troops to resist, absolutely disagreeing with the ambitions of these emperors.

The weak ones can't even ascend to the throne.

However, Sun Ce played the first sound of the Warring States annexation before he had a head, so that this warring period that had just started entered the annexation link in an instant.

And Guo Peng has already sharpened his knife to Xuzhou, and began to prepare to attack Xuzhou and eliminate the second vassal state.

Wasn't the demise of the second vassal state doomed?

However, at this moment, Tao Qian did not realize that the crisis had come.

To be precise, it was not that Tao Qian was mediocre and incompetent, but that Tao Qian fell ill at the time when Zang Ba was centrifugal and the Chen family united with the major families to prepare for rebellion.

After all, Tao Qian's age is already very old, and he has been worried about his power and security for a long time, he has not been able to get enough rest, and his appetite is not good, and all kinds of circumstances have greatly shortened his lifespan.

Rao is so, in this era, Tao Qian is also a rare longevity, so his illness is not unexpected by anyone, and even taken for granted.

After Chen Deng learned about it, he was secretly happy, because Tao Qian's illness meant that his actions would be smoother.

The only help around Tao Qian is the Danyang Cao family, Cao Bao and Cao Hong, these two people have certain talents, but this talent is far from enough to help Tao Qian tide over the difficulties.

After Tao Qian fell ill, all the daily government affairs of Xuzhou were maintained by his heir, the pottery merchant of the prince of Xu.

Tao Qian's two sons, Tao Shang and Tao Ying, were not talented people, mediocre scholars were too far from Tao Qian when he was young.

The lack of heirs is also an important reason for the Xuzhou people to abandon Tao.

The potter is cowardly, indecisive, and incompetent, and everything is handled with the help of Cao Hong.

Cao Hong couldn't do so many things alone, he was so busy that he was dizzy and wiped his butt for the potter, not to mention that he could still find time to fight wits and courage with Chen Deng.

So Zang Ba, who was still a little hesitant at the beginning, no longer had any doubts after knowing that Tao Qian was sick.

He made it.

If Tao Qian could still be in charge, he was still a little jealous, but now, he was not afraid.

It's not that Cao Hong didn't notice the slightly abnormal actions of Chen Deng and others, he just couldn't find out what the situation was, and there were not many people around him who could help him, he dealt with this and that alone, and he didn't have the energy to pay attention to other things.

It was such a period of time that gave Chen Deng the time and space to prepare for a rebellion together with the major family forces in Xuzhou and Zang Ba.

At the beginning of August of the fourth year of Xingping, the integration of anti-Tao Qian forces in Xuzhou led by the Chen family has been successfully completed, and there is no longer any problem, Chen Deng has mastered the situation in Xuzhou, as long as an order is given, it is enough to make Xuzhou fall into turmoil in an instant.

In fact, he did the same.
