Xiao Peinei, Zhang Fei found Liu Bei with a watch seal, and shouted anxiously: "Big brother, big brother, that Tao Qian is dead, and they let the pottery merchant Xiaoer serve as the pastor of Xuzhou." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

It turned out that as soon as Tao Qian died, Tao Ying immediately sent someone to the court, but when he passed Xiaopei, he was caught by Zhang Fei, who was out hunting. I learned about the situation in Xuzhou, and hurriedly thought about Liu Bei's report.

Guan Yu was recruited by Liu Bei, and also brought news from Xuzhou: "Big brother, Jian Yong sent a message saying that Tao Gongzu had passed away, and his son Tao Shang served as the pastor of Xuzhou. And it is said that the kid has the support of Deng Yuanjue, Cao Bao, etc., and even Mi Zhu is on the side of the potter. What do we do? ”

Liu Bei listened to the growing sorrow in his heart, but he didn't show much anger, and said with a sad look: "Ah, Tao Gongzu has abandoned the world, and the court has lost a good official." No, I'm going to Tancheng to worship, who will accompany me with the two brothers? ”

Zhang Fei said anxiously with dissatisfaction: "Big brother, we are now with a small peizhong, but we are just controlling three small county towns. At the beginning, Tao Qian San asked Xuzhou to give it to the eldest brother, and the eldest brother saw that Tao Qian was not dead. Now that Tao Qian is dead, Xuzhou should be the eldest brother. I'll take the soldiers to find the potter boy and ask him who is the lord of Xuzhou! ”

Liu Bei still didn't want to do too much, so he hurriedly scolded Zhang Fei and said: "Third brother can't be reckless, the most important thing is to go to Tancheng to worship Tao Gongzu." Prepare your horses and let's go! ”

After that, Liu Bei walked out quickly, and Guan Yu hurriedly followed closely behind Zhang Fei. Guan Yu said to Zhang Fei when he went out: "We should do what the younger brother should do for the eldest brother, and when we get to Tancheng, we will find an opportunity to become a potter." ”

"Good!"

Liu Bei and the three of them arrived in Tancheng and worshiped Tao Qian, but he went to Mi Zhu and Chen Deng for a bad time, but asked Jian Yong to go and talk.

……

In the Chen Mansion in Tancheng, Chen Qi and Chen Deng, father and son, are also discussing major events in Xuzhou.

The Chen family is also a famous family in the late Han Dynasty, Chen Qi is the grandson of Chen Kang, the Taishou of the Guanghan Dynasty, and the nephew of Chen Qiu. His two cong brothers also held the position of Taishou, and Chen Qi himself once served as Pei Xiang.

The influence of the Chen family is naturally not weak.

Chen Deng asked his father Chen Deng worriedly: "Father, now that the strong enemy is surrounded, the potter may not have the ability to hold Xuzhou, this Xuzhou will be annexed sooner or later, I don't know what we should do?" ”

Chen Qi had already resigned from Peixiang's position, and he was only a scholar in Xuzhou. But it's a little big lately, but this body looks quite tough, at least it won't follow Tao Qian to another world for a short time.

Chen Qi smiled, pointed to the country and said: "In the troubled times of the world, our Chen family cannot become a prince, so we can not only strengthen ourselves under the command of other princes, but our Chen family is thriving." Xuzhou needs to be handed over to a strong prince, so that we can be more stable. Who do you think will be able to take charge of Xuzhou? ”

Chen Deng pondered for a while, secretly counting the surrounding princes in his heart, and then began to say: "Only Liu Bei is suitable in Xuzhou, and in addition, Cao Cao and Luo Gan can become the lords of Xuzhou." Potter, father, do we want to send someone to contact Luo Gan or Cao Cao? ”

Chen Jue shook his head, and said very calmly: "Don't worry, this Tancheng and Donghai County will be a place of right and wrong." We should set our sights on Guangling County, control Guangling County, no matter who is the pastor of Xuzhou, they will not dare to despise us. ”

With the Yellow Turban Rebellion and other reasons, the people from the north are moving more and more to the south, and this Guangling County is the largest county in Xuzhou, and the population has been increasing in recent years, but it is also a pivotal position.

Chen Deng took a step forward and said uncertainly: "Liu Bei's advisor Jian Yong came to look for the child before, what does my father think he should do?" ”

"Let's wait and see, Xuzhou is getting more and more chaotic, alas, ......" Although Chen Qi is old, he is still more and more scheming, and he doesn't make a move.

……

Except for Tao Qian's funeral, this pottery merchant walked lightly, which did not take Song Jiang to swagger through the city and declare his majesty as the lord of Xuzhou.

This Tancheng is the place of Xuzhou, the city is high and the pond is deep, and the street is naturally full of pedestrians, seeing the Xuzhou herdsmen traveling, the pedestrians on the street hurriedly bow.

"Meet the Prince."

"I've seen the state pastor."

A group of people bowed to the potter, and the potter sitting in the car was very proud, smiling at the people on the street.

At this time, among the people on the street, there were three or five men, who were not ordinary good people, and there were sharp blades hidden in their hands. The first person was a dwarf, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted angrily: "Kill!" ”

"Kill!"

The five men drew the knife in their arms, rushed towards the potter, and swung the knife in their hand to slash at the potter.

Song Jiang, who was beside the pottery merchant, saw someone committing a murder and shouted in panic: "Hurry, hurry, there are assassins, come and rescue the lord." ”

Kong Ming and Kong Liang hurriedly stepped forward to protect Song Jiang with spears in hand, and Hu Wu greeted them with spears.

Those assassins suddenly attacked, not only wanted to kill the pottery merchant, but even Song Jiang had to be hacked to death. Kong Ming and Kong Liang teamed up to resist an assassin, and they fought for a while. Or it is more accurate that the rotten fish touched the stinky fish, the assassin's skills are average, Kong Ming and Kong Liang's martial arts are also very poor, and the two of them can only stop the last assassin.

However, after a panic, the potter's face was gloomy, and he waved his hand to order the Xuzhou soldiers who were protecting him to come to the rescue.

A few of the assassins were mediocre, originally they just wanted to attack the potters by surprise, but the potters seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and those guards reacted very quickly, and twenty or thirty people moved forward at the same time.

"Ah~"

"Kill~"

This assassin came quickly and ended quickly, it was an assassin with ordinary methods, and he was stabbed to death by the Xuzhou soldiers.

Only the dwarf headed by him, with a knife in his hand, with the ferocity in his hand, should have killed two or three Xuzhou soldiers, and when he saw that it didn't work, he shook his body and hid in the chaotic crowd.

I didn't want this short-legged person, but his hands and feet were also flexible, and in addition to the chaotic crowd, he finally evaded the pursuit of the Xuzhou soldiers, and finally fled back to Tao Ying's mansion.

Tao Ying and Ximen Qing were waiting for news in the mansion, but they saw Wang Ying fleeing back in a panic.

"Can Wang Yingshi succeed?"

"Bantam Tiger, did you kill Tao Ying?"

Wang Ying held his chest with one hand, almost out of breath, shook his head and said: "The potter has already prepared, and the brothers who went there have all missed, and the villain just desperately escaped back." ”

Tao Ying was very sorry and worried: "Can it be discovered? ”

Wang Ying shook his head: "The villain is very careful not to be discovered. ”

After the Xuzhou soldiers on that side dealt with the streets, the potter and his party continued to move forward, not caring about the assassins.

The potter's face was gloomy, and he turned to Song Jiang and said, "Sure enough, as Sergeant Zhang Yong said, someone really wants to assassinate me, it's hateful, it's too hateful." Song Jiang, you must find out who is trying to murder me. ”

Song Jiang said indignantly: "Lord, I didn't expect that in broad daylight, there would be such a bold and reckless person. Song Jiang will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, so the lord might as well return home as soon as possible. ”

It turned out that Wu Yong expected that there would inevitably be people who would not accept the potter's appointment as Xuzhou Mu, and it was better to take the initiative to attack than to wait for the enemy in the shadows. Therefore, the potter wandered out on the street to see if anyone wanted to murder him, and sure enough, an assassin really appeared.

It's just that the potter and his party had just crossed two streets and had not returned to the mansion, but they suddenly found a man holding a spear in front of them.
