Tao Qian came, dragged the newly recovered sick body, his face was haggard, his already gray hair was dull, and with the support of the two sons of the pottery merchant and Tao Ying, he came to the temporary camp of Lu Bujun. A group of civil and military personnel in Xuzhou have already gotten the news, waiting before the camp gate, when they see Tao Qian's old dragon clock, they don't know what they feel like in their hearts, and their previous complaints about Tao Qian have also faded a lot. Although Tao Qian was a big ugly person at the gate of Xiapi City this time, he was "stunned" by the news of Cao **'s attack, but since Tao Qian came to serve as Xuzhou Mu, although there are occasional chaos in the state, in the end, Xuzhou has become one of the richest places in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty over the years, and Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian has made great contributions.

The "lord ......" includes the father and son of the Chen family who begged Lu Bu to lead troops to prevent Cao ** from going to Lu Bu's camp to talk secretly when he was under Pi, as well as the Cao family and the head of the Mi family, Cao Bao Mi Zhu and others, who took advantage of the situation to have a "plot" against Lu Bu Weng's son-in-law.

"At present, Cao Jun is pressing, Lu Qingzhou has worked tirelessly to help me Xuzhou, the old man is grateful, so as soon as he woke up, he came to thank each other, since you came early, you will go to see Lu Qingzhou with the old man, thank you in person!" Seeing that this group of Xuzhou beams and pillars who were originally gathered under their own command, there was already a scene of discouragement at this time, Tao Qian did not say anything, threw off the support of his two sons, and trembled at the Xuzhou civil and military forces present to make a long gesture, quite a hero twilight, and said with a deep sigh.

"Brother Gongzu, after Bu Ben wanted to settle the military affairs, he would visit the house, but he didn't expect that Brother Lao Gong would come to meet him in person, how dare Bu be? I'm really ashamed, I hope Brother Gong will forgive me, forgive me! Tao Qian set up a pomp, was waiting for people to go to report, but unexpectedly a sudden sound of horses' hooves sounded in the camp, Lu Bu people did not arrive first, but they brought Qin Xu and Dian Wei, Tai Shici and other Qingzhou soldiers to greet him, majestic and heroic, mighty Qingzhou Mu Lu Bu, this time with white hair, even walking and walking to help Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian, but not just like the original tired, but because of Lu Bu into the lord and appear to be steaming on Qingzhou, with although rich and strong soldiers are in charge, but everywhere Xuzhou seems to be declining? This state of eliminating the other's strengths and weaknesses suddenly appeared in front of the Xuzhou officials who had just given birth to a little sympathy for Tao Qian, and Xuzhou Wenwu, who had just been a little flustered by Tao Qian's sad card, surged up again in his heart.

"Deserved, deserved! Tao Qian was incompetent, and he had Danyang elite soldiers in his hands, but he caused Xuzhou to suffer, so that even the thieves dared to bully Dahanzhou County; And because of the misunderstanding between his own family and that Yanzhou Cao**, Xuzhou was in danger of being devastated by life, if it weren't for Lu Qingzhou's righteous aid to my Xuzhou, Tao Qian would really die, and I'm sorry for my Han court! Tao Qian turned a blind eye to the reactions of the people around him, and still spoke at a slow pace, and said to Lu Bu: "This time, I wish to use the benevolence and majesty of General Lu to save the millions of people in Xuzhou, Tao Qian will die immediately, and there will be no regrets!" ”

"Gong Zu is so polite! There is no need to mention the past, since you and I are both pastors of Dahan Prefecture, how can Bu sit idly by and watch the thief Kou Luo Xuzhou? It is the duty to come to help, not to mention that Brother Gong is tired in Qingzhou and has internal troubles, so he has some military funds to help? In fact, I don't hide from Gongzu, there is still a slight surplus in these days, but when Gongzu and Cao Mengde have a disagreement, the cloth is also read in Xuzhou people should not be mixed into this private grudge, Gongzu is seriously ill and can not look at things, this is the more than the other, but this remaining military funds, I will not return Gongzu! Lu Bu seemed to be in a good mood, and when he talked with Tao Qian, he didn't shy away from the fact that he came to Xiapi because he was invited by Tao Qian with 100,000 stones of grain to save Xiapi. Even this change of defense against Picheng has done a high profile.

"I heard that Qingzhou is said to be gentle and heroic, benevolent and mighty, which is different from what was rumored by the outside world before, and now I can see it, and it is so! However, Wen Hou should not be polite, Tao also knows the difficulties of Qingzhou, how can he care about some military and material matters! All the military resources needed to help each other in Xiapi, Tao Mouli undertook it, and it was ......" Lu Bu and Tao Qian met this time, although the words were very polite, but there were many old oilmen who had been in the officialdom for many years, and how could they not hear the words and swords in the conversation between the two people. Since the two met, Tao Qian almost fell into the downwind, and I don't know that this Lu Bu was obviously rumored to be a stupid general, where did he learn the advantages of this rhetoric, three or two sentences will be Tao Qian's payment of 100,000 yuan and food, the cloud is light and gently turned over, so that Tao Qian and other old foxes are also unknowingly lost by the authorities, and Lu Bu is led by the nose, so that he has to flatter Lu Bu against his will. can't end up in a good place, as if how stingy Tao Qian is, and you have to ask someone to help remind you to be willing to make some blood.

"Lord, the spring night is cold, Tao Xuzhou is old and frail, and he is recovering from a long illness, how about inviting Tao Xuzhou to the military tent to talk?" Just as the civil and military forces in Xuzhou saw that their lord had fallen in front of Lu Bu, there were quite a few diehards that Tao Qian had cultivated in the past few years, and seeing that Tao Qian was deflated, he easily mustered up the courage to play a good draft, and when he stepped forward to speak to save some face for Tao Qian, Qin Xu's wilted voice, full of caring tone, preemptively said to Lu Bu. This pretentious posture almost didn't let Cao Bao and Mi Zhuxiao, who were standing next to Tao Qian, be born, this blind man could hear the ridicule of Tao Qian in Qin Xu's words, if this was before Lu Bu's military camp, just relying on the cool words in Qin Xu's words, Tao Qian's eldest son, Tao Shang, who was holding his hands a little trembling, wanted to eat the guy in front of him alive.

"Yes, I didn't know that when Gongzu came, Bu was arranging if the previous letter persuasion was unfavorable, he would open the city to 'meet' that Cao Mengde, this time since Gongzu came, and he was the host, why don't we discuss one or two together?" Although he had already received the news from Qin Xu, after all, Cao ** had a history of tearing up the covenant for no reason and brazenly attacking allies several times, and his credit rating was infinitely close to zero, so Lu Bu was not careless, but he did not mean to deceive Tao Qian.

"This ...... Since Wen Hou is invited, Tao is ashamed to take this opportunity to understand Wen Hou's strategy! "This spring is cold, ordinary strong men will be a little unable to resist for a long time, not to mention that Tao Qian is sixty years old after all, he has fainted twice before, and he has not been well raised, and his body can be said to be extremely weak; Before he was careless in the verbal confrontation with Lu Bu, and then he was ridiculed by Qin Xu, a junior, and he almost pointed at him Tao Qian's nose and scolded him for being incompetent. At this moment, hearing Lu Bu invite him like this, he also fulfilled Tao Qian's meaning, losing people does not lose the battle, Tao Qian said with a little self-deprecation: "Tao is really old, and he can't support it after standing for a while, this Cao ** bullying an old man is really hateful!" ”

Tao Qian's words in the end to insist on saving face were redundant, and they did not resonate with Xuzhou's civil and military forces at all, but a considerable number of Xuzhou civil and military officials who had been frightened during this time showed a little disdain at the corners of their mouths. Originally, although Xuzhou and Yanzhou also have adjacent places, but after all, there are not many negotiations between the peace, and Xuzhou has always adhered to the strategy of forming a good alliance between the four parties and not offending each other. How can Xuzhou have this big disaster? It's good now, seeing that Lu Bu has joined this new force, your words have changed, and it has become Cao ** bullying you for being old? Co-authored positive and negative, good and bad are all done by your old Taoist family?

"Tao Xuzhou said very much! This Cao **'s favorite thing to do is to bully honest people, Tao Xuzhou has to take care of himself, don't be angry because of such villains! Seeing that Lu Bu and Qin Xu were a little uncomfortable by the bright eyes of Cao Bao and Mi Zhu among the civil and military officials in Xuzhou, it happened that Tao Qian said these words again, Qin Xu had no choice but to divert his attention, and he had nothing to say "kind words to comfort": "Tao Xuzhou, don't worry, and take a little look at how my lord Lu Qingzhou cleans up that Cao ** to give you old anger!" ”

"Report! Lord, according to the Malay report, there is movement in the Cao army camp outside the city! Just as Lu Bu, Qin Xu and others led these 20 subordinate officials and Tao Qian's father and son into the camp, the surname Cao, who was on duty tonight, came to report again: "The movement in Cao's military camp this time is quite strange, and the last general will not dare to be proficient, do you order the soldiers to strengthen their vigilance?" Please also decide! ”

"Not good! Cao ** This is seeing that the lord has already changed his guard, and he is worried that he will suffer another loss, so he has to run away overnight! Before Lu Bu could speak, Qin Xu grabbed the conversation first, and shouted quite exaggeratedly: "General Cao, quickly order Zang Ba and Tai Shici of the Qingzhou Barracks to go out of the city to chase after them, don't let Cao ** go!" ”

"Ugh! ......" The civil and military forces in Xuzhou looked at Qin Xu who was acting on behalf of Lu Bu instead of Lu Bu, and even some people who didn't know Qin Xu's identity flashed a hint of schadenfreude on their faces. You must know that the indiscriminate issuance of orders in the army is in the fifty-four laws and seventeen slashes made by Sun Wu, a master of the art of war, according to ancient times, not to mention that Lu Bu, the main master, does not say a word, and Tao Qian's civil and military forces are also there.

"No!" However, what made the eyes of the Xuzhou civil and military officers fall to the ground was that not only did Lu Bu not even blink his eyelids more at Qin Xu's actions, but the generals under his command also looked like they were not surprised, and the surname Cao didn't even ask Lu Bu directly, and went directly to take the order.

"Who is this kid?"

"That is, Lu Wenhou is broad-minded, if it is...... Ahem! ”
