Soon, Lu Bu's distress letter was delivered to Xuzhou.

Tao Qian originally wanted to send troops to rescue Lu Bu, but at this time, Chen Deng suddenly persuaded: "Lu Bu, jackals too." Kill Ding Yuan, kill Dong Zhuo, and oppose publicity. Now that Ming Gong is benevolent and righteous, accepting him and Xiaopei can be described as a great grace. Lu Bu didn't want to repay the effect, but befriended Ming Gong's subordinates, with bad intentions. Now that Cao Cao is attacking, Lu Bu, as a general of Xiaopei, naturally wants to worry about Ming Gong and fight Cao Cao in a bloody battle to repay the king's kindness. But now that the war has just started, Lu Bu can't wait for Ming Gong to send troops to help, which shows that he has no determination to fight with Cao Cao. In addition, the Xuzhou garrison is insufficient, and once the troops are divided, if Cao Ren in the north goes south, Xuzhou will be in danger. ”

Lu Bu is Cao Bao's son-in-law, and the Cao family and the Chen family have never dealt with each other, so Chen Deng naturally wants to obstruct it.

Tao Qian was originally a person who had no idea, but after listening to Chen Deng's words, he changed his mind.

"If it weren't for Yuanlong's reminder, the old man would have been almost confused."

He slapped his thigh, turned back to his opponent and said, "Quickly tell Lu Bu's envoy that Xuzhou's troops are insufficient, and Cao Ren is about to go south, so he really can't draw troops." Let Lu Bu support him first, and when the old man repels Cao Ren, he will naturally try his best to save Xiao Pei. ”

In and out of words, he will not help Xiaopei.

The envoy had no choice but to go back, so he had to go to Cao Bao's house.

Cao Bao was in the barracks, not in the house.

The messenger had to wait at the house.

In the evening, Cao Bao returned from the barracks, and the messenger immediately greeted him.

"General Cao, hurry up and save General Lu!"

He immediately told Lu Bu about being besieged.

What the?

Hearing that Tao Qian refused to send troops to help Lu Bu, Cao Bao was so angry that he stomped his feet again and again.

"Lady Makimori is confused!"

He immediately rushed to the Assassin's Mansion to meet Tao Qian.

"Ming Gong, Xiaopei is the frontier of Xuzhou, and if Cao Cao wants to enter Yunzhou, he must first lay down Xiaopei. General Lu's troops are too small, and it is not at all that he will not be able to resist for long. If we don't send troops to help, once Xiaopei is broken through by Xuzhou, Cao Cao's military peak will be directed at the city of Xuzhou. Xiao Pei must be saved, only in this way can we strengthen General Lu's confidence in defending the city. ”

This......

Hearing Cao Bao say this, Tao Qian was a little out of idea again.

"But Xuzhou's troops are insufficient, if the troops are divided, what if Cao Ren calls over?"

My Shepherd!

Cao Bao paused and said: "Cao Ren only has 20,000 soldiers and horses, and now he is dragged around Mount Tai by Zang Ba and others and does not dare to move. There is no need to worry at all, the most important thing at the moment is to save Xiaopei. Lord Mu Shou hesitated, in case it caused a misunderstanding of General Lu, making him think that Xuzhou had no intention of rescuing Xiao Pei, and if he led the army to evacuate, Xiao Pei would definitely fall into the hands of Cao Cao. At that time, Xuzhou will inevitably be fiercely attacked by Cao Cao. ”

Lu Bu is not a good man and a woman, if Tao Qian doesn't save Xiao Pei, he will definitely not die for Tao Qian.

In order to preserve his strength, he will inevitably choose to evacuate Xiaopei and go elsewhere, and then Xuzhou will fall into passivity.

Although Cao Bao married Lu Bu, he was still very clear about Lu Bu's character, of course, he was not thinking about Lu Bu, but for his own safety.

Once Xuzhou is broken, the Cao family will inevitably not be spared.

Yes!

Hearing this, Tao Qian couldn't help but be smart.

Chen Deng misunderstood me!

He couldn't help but scream, and he regretted it a little.

In case Lu Bu gets angry and runs away, who will help him block Cao Cao?

Tao Qian hurriedly said, "According to General Cao's view, what should we do?" ”

Cao Bao groaned slightly, and said: "My subordinates led 10,000 troops and horses to rush to Xiao County in the starry night, firstly, it can give Xiaopei's General Lu confidence, and secondly, it can also make Cao Cao feel the pressure and not let go of the attack." ”

Now, it's a compromise.

Ok, good, good!

Tao Qian naturally has no reason not to accept.

"General Cao, according to what you said, send 10,000 troops to Xiao County. But ......"

He paused and said, "General Cao is the mainstay of Xuzhou, you must not move lightly, let's let others go." ”

Cao Bao also knew that Tao Qian would not let himself out easily, so he had to nod at the moment.

So Tao Qian sent his subordinate Zhen Rong to lead an army of 10,000 into Xiao County.

Zhenrong is also a native of Danyang, and Tao Qian is a fellow countryman, and he is quite trusted by Tao Qian.

This person is a devout Buddhist, who built Buddhist temples and took in a large number of monks.

After Zhen Rong entered Xiao County, he immediately stuck to the city, did not go out of the city, drank and had fun every day, and ignored Xiao Pei's affairs.

Lu Bu sent people for help several times, but they were all blocked by this guy.

……

Bastard Tao Qian!

Lu Bu was furious!

Cao Cao has been besieging the city for three days, and both sides have invested 20,000 or 30,000 troops, and Cao's army came prepared, bringing a large amount of siege equipment, and Lu Bu suffered heavy losses.

"Gongtai, Tao Qian's old thief deliberately let us fight Cao Cao to the death, and Lu will never die for him. The Japanese general broke through the south gate and escorted the family to Huainan. ”

Lu Bu said angrily.

He was not Tao Qian's subordinate in the first place, and it was also an expedient measure in Xiaopei, but now Cao Cao's attack is tight, Tao Qian has no assistance, and he is fighting hard, and even the last family is gone.

Yuan Shu in Huainan has been recruiting Lu Bu, but Lu Bu doesn't look down on Yuan Shu, plus there are soldiers and food in Xiaopei, so he can't go to Huainan to see people's faces.

But now that Xiaopei is not guaranteed, Lu Bu moved his mind to Huainan again.

"General Lu doesn't need to be in a hurry!"

Chen Gong waved his hand and said: "Yuan Shu was summoned before, because Xiao Pei was in a dangerous position, and General Lu was strong and strong. Yuan Shu was also to weaken Tao Qian's strength. Now that General Lu is defeated and has a similar army, he will inevitably not be valued by Yuan Shu. ”

He followed Lu Bu all the way, and naturally he didn't want Lu Bu to send people under the fence.

Hum!

Lu Bu also nodded.

At this time and at that time, if you go to Huainan now, you will inevitably not be welcomed.

"Why don't we make peace with Cao Cao?"

Lu Bu hesitated for a moment and said.

In fact, the two of them don't have any hatred together.

Cannot!

Chen Gong flatly refused.

The reason why he opposed Cao Cao at the beginning was because of the old ideas.

Zhang Miao and Cao Cao are friends who can be entrusted to their wives, and when Cao Cao was in trouble in the past, thanks to Zhang Miao's help.

Later, Cao Cao made his fortune and became the pastor of Yanzhou, and the first thing he did was not to repay his old friend, but to find a way to empty Zhang Miao and control Chen Liu, where Zhang Miao was located.

Zhang Miao's old departments were transferred out one by one, and they were basically in the air.

Bian Rang of the same county was a little overwhelmed, and stood up and said a few words, Cao Cao actually instructed someone to falsely accuse Bian Rang and kill him.

Bian Rang's death made Chen Liu's people completely chilled.

Zhang Miao conspired with Chen Gong to welcome Lü Bu into Yanzhou when Cao Cao was conquering Zhang Xiu in the west, and once almost occupied Yanzhou.

Later, he was defeated by Cao Cao, Zhang Miao committed suicide, and Chen Gong also fled to Xuzhou with Lu Bu.

The reason is that Cao Cao is ungrateful!

Therefore, Chen Gong will never return to Cao Cao's side.
