Chapter 405: Make a Bet

"Yaoqing, I'm not reconciled!"

Yuan Shu beat his chest a little and said to Yuan Shu.

The flesh in his mouth was spit out again, and he couldn't swallow it.

Tan County was supposed to be taken, and Tao Qian was supposed to be killed, but because Xu Ding was in the city, all this became a mirror and shattered.

Yuan Jian said: "Don't worry, the lord, we may not have no chance, everything is just beginning, not over yet, our forces are still dominant, and we will be re-shocked tomorrow, and we will have a formal battle with Xu Ding." ”

It's no wonder that this side obviously has a military advantage and still uses conspiracy and tricks, and was exploited by Xu Ding.

Yuan Jian was also unconvinced, so he persuaded him with good words.

Yuan Shu thought about it, and he was right!

He was worried about his own troops, and he could afford to lose tonight, so he regained his spirits and waited for the dawn to see how many of his dead and wounded had been killed and wounded that night.

In fact, without the Donglai cavalry charging in front, whether it was Xiahou Bo or Cao Bao's Xuzhou Danyang soldiers, they quickly withdrew from the army pursuing Yuan Shu.

It's so dark at night, anything can happen, but don't fall into Yuan Shu's ambush and surround your army.

So Cao Bao saw Zhao Yun's cavalry turn back to the east city gate, and immediately ran into the city, not even daring to pick up more weapons and armor.

"Hahaha! Bo Kang is still like a god, tonight not only dug up my Xuzhou secret rape, but also hit Yuan Shu hard, it is really powerful, I Tao Qian is really convinced this time. ”

The happiest variable tonight is Tao Qian, Tanxian has been saved, and the Chen family, one of the internal thieves, has also been dug up, and Xu Ding has shown the strength of his Donglai army.

There were only 17,000 people, and they were still guarding two city gates, and they simply repelled Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses.

Having such an ally was really the wisest decision of his life.

Xu Dingdao: "It's a pity that Chen Deng ran away, it is always a disaster." ”

As he spoke, Xu Ding's eyes were fixed on Cao Bao, Zhao Yunbu wanted to severely damage Yuan Shu's troops entering the city, so he had no time or energy to search for Chen Deng, and Cao Bao later commanded about 20,000 troops, and he couldn't catch Chen Deng, which is a bit too much.

Cao Bao was a little hairy by Xu Ding, turned his face to the side, and said to Tao Qian with a fist: "Don't worry, the monk can't run away from the temple, and when Yuan Shu is repulsed, it's not too late to find it." ”

Tao Qian was distracted by his success, nodded slightly, and said: "Yes, the Chen family can't run away in Huaipu, and the top priority is to defeat Yuan Shu!" ”

After speaking, Tao Qian looked at Xu Ding, Xu Ding knew what he wanted to say, but he still said calmly and confidently: "Yuan Shu will withdraw from the army in a few days, don't worry too much." ”

Cao Bao said: "The prince is so sure, you must know that although Yuan Shu was smashed tonight and attacked the city, but the casualties of his troops are limited, and it will not hurt his muscles and bones, Yuan Shu is afraid that he will not give up." ”

"His best chance to seize Tan County has been lost, will he stay and die if he doesn't retreat?" Xu Ding curled the corners of his mouth slightly, raised a trace of arc and said:

"If you don't believe me, how about we take a look?"

The Chen family is gone, and the largest family under Tao Qian is the Cao family, and Xu Ding feels the need to beat Cao Bao well.

To be honest, the Cao family didn't take the opportunity to defect to Yuan Shu and welcome Yuan into Xuzhou, which really surprised him.

Originally, this time he wanted to take the opportunity to cut off the two major families under Tao Qian, and use the opportunity of the fall of Xuzhou to sort out the families in Xuzhou and weaken the hostile forces against Donglai in Xuzhou.

Cao Bao said: "What do you want to bet on?" How to bet. ”

"I bet that Yuan Shu will retreat to Pengcheng in five days, and Xuzhou within ten days, and we don't need to fight him head-on, and fight every soldier." Xu Ding smiled and groaned: "If I win, your Cao family will give me half of the fields and mines, and if I lose, I will pay twenty times the amount of new coins in cash." ”

Retreat to Pengcheng within five days, and exit Xuzhou within ten days.

How is this possible?

Yuan Shu finally occupied half of Xuzhou, and he would retreat without even fighting, which was a joke.

Don't say that you don't have to fight, even if you want to fight, it will be difficult to repel with your 17,000 Donglai troops.

You must know that all the people on the front line of Pengcheng have defected to Yuan Shu, and they have also obtained countless ships, even if they can't beat Xu Ding's cavalry, there is no problem in holding the waterway.

In other words, even if Yuan Shu wants to retreat, it will be retreating step by step, and if he wants to completely withdraw from Xuzhou, there will be no two or two months.

Yuan Shu doesn't have much else, but he has the largest population of money and food, and he can levy mountains of materials from his rule at any time and pull out an army of 180,000.

The most interesting thing to talk about is the bet that is set.

Half of the Cao family's fields and mines, you must know that the Cao family is a big family in Xuzhou, a first-class family, and half of the fields and mines, which is not expensive.

Xu Ding was willing to pay twenty times.

It's really eye-catching.

For a while, Cao Bao was both excited and a little entangled.

The stakes wouldn't be a little too big.

Cao Bao hesitated, but Cao Hong on the side was full of greed, and pulled Cao Bao to the side and whispered: "Brother can't let go of this opportunity, let Yuan Shu withdraw from Xuzhou in ten days, this is simply impossible." Even if all the horses of Xu Ding came, it would be impossible to drive Yuan Shu away so quickly.

Moreover, his Donglai was being attacked by Jiao He's Qingzhou Army and Liu Dai's Yanzhou Army, and at this time, he was a doppelganger, even if it was a strategic deterrent Yuan Shu. ”

Xu Ding looked at the other Xuzhou family officials, and said with the same smile: "You don't have to be envious, if you are willing to gamble, you can bet together, the conditions are the same, don't be afraid that I have no money, I don't have 10 billion money in my hand, but there are still five or six billion money, I can use the land to mortgage."

Of course, don't be afraid that I will be in debt, I can ask Tao Envoy Jun to guarantee it. ”

"Is this Bo Kang playing a little big, in case ......" Tao Qian's face was a little anxious, but he was truncated by Xu Ding in the middle of the sentence: "Brother Gongzu must have confidence, have confidence and be invincible, at this time Xuzhou is in danger, and when we need to boost morale, we must believe that we can drive away Yuan Shu." ”

What does this have to do with confidence, Tao Qian still wanted to persuade, at this time Cao Bao said: "The prince is right, we must be considerate of the good intentions of the military marquis, I have taken this bet from the Cao family, and I am willing to make a note with the prince." ”

Although Xu Ding's reputation is not a problem, Cao Bao is still afraid that Xu Ding will repay his debts.

The cheap delivery to the door is not taken advantage of.

The written evidence, the best, of course there is no problem with Xu Ding, he is afraid that Cao Bao will not have the courage to respond.

Cao Bao was willing to gamble, and the other families were also staring at each other, and one by one they modestly expressed their willingness to gamble with Xu Ding, and they also concealed morality and said that if they lost, they would be paid for supporting Xu Ding to send troops to save Xuzhou.

The fields are all in Xuzhou, even if you lose, what if you don't, do you promise to manage Xuzhou?

Moreover, there is only a little bit of their fields backed up in the government, and most of them are private land that cannot be found, even if 10,000 and 10,000 lose, it is a big deal to give a few hundred acres out, and just pay a difference and fool the past.

But if they win, then half of their fields and mountain forest deposits will be astronomical.

Even if you promise to have a mountain of gold, it won't be enough to compensate.

However, everyone is still really curious about why Xu Ding has so much money, as if he always has endless new coins to spend, and he can never purchase enough materials.

There should be a limit to the number of outburst households!
